A new species of the genus Birisia (Dicksoniaceae) from the lower–middle Albian deposits of Southern Primorye, Far East of Russia
Authors: Golovneva L. B. , Grabovskiy A. A. , Zolina A. A.
Published: December 2021

A new fern Birisia mandshurica, sp. nov. (Dicksoniaceae) from the lower–middle Albian Frentsevka Formation of southern Primorye, Far East of Russia is described. This species is characterized by short-creeping rhizomes with closely spaced stipes and bipinnate fronds with narrow linear pinnules. A reconstruction of B. mandshurica is proposed. It comes from the autochthonous locality of ferns and herbaceous angiosperms and was a part of pioneer open community, which occupied low flat plains between river channels.

Revision of ferns, described as Acanthopteris gothanii Sze from China, shows, that these ferns belongs to Birisia alata (Prynada) Samylina. The name Acanthopteris Sze should be abandoned, due to absence of spore-bearing pinnules and poor preservation of sterile pinnules in type specimens. Based on Chinese and Russian material of good preservation, we provide emended diagnoses of the genus Birisia Samylina and its type species B. alata.

Re-examination of various species of the genus Birisia revealed that this genus was widely distributed in the Cretaceous floras (from the Barremian to the Coniacian) of Eastern Siberia, New Siberian Islands, North-East and Far East of Russia, China, Japan, Alaska and Western Canada. B. alata is the most widespread species.
General Foundation Programs (GFPs) Student Entry and Exit Standards
Authors: Al-Rusheidi Ibtisam Saed
Published: December 2021

This paper assessed the performance of General Foundation Programs (GFPs) in Oman in the area of 'Student Entry and Exit Standards'. Data was collected from the GFP quality audit reports prepared and published by Oman Authority for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Education (OAAAQA). The study adopted a simple descriptive data analysis method, consisting of identifying the formal conclusions issued by OAAAQA (Commendations, Affirmations, and Recommendations) and analyzing their distribution (frequency of occurrence and percentages) and the issues they covered. The study found out that (a) HEIs are yet to establish sustainable practices in their GFPs in relation to entry and exit standards; and (b) the systems in the GFP are still underdeveloped and practices are largely unsystematic. The paper ended by highlighting four improvement suggestions in order to ensure GFP effectiveness.

Currently, Indonesia's national education is still facing various problems. Achievement of educational outcomes still do not meet the expected results. Learning in schools has not been able to fully shape the personality of graduates who reflect the character and culture. The educational process still focuses and focuses on cognitive achievements. Meanwhile, the affective aspect of students which is a strong provision for living in society has not been developed in schools. Schools as centers of change need to seriously seek education based on the character and culture of the nation. National character and culture developed in schools must be aligned with local, regional and national character and culture. For this reason, character education and national culture need to be developed based on local wisdom.
Visual and hearing sensitivity affect robot-based training for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder
Authors: Chevalier Pauline , Ghiglino Davide , Floris Federica , Priolo Tiziana , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we investigate the impact of sensory sensitivity during robot-assisted training for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Indeed, user-adaptation for robot-based therapies could help users to focus on the training, and thus improve the benefits of the interactions. Children diagnosed with ASD often suffer from sensory sensitivity, and can show hyper or hypo-reactivity to sensory events, such as reacting strongly or not at all to sounds, movements, or touch. Considering it during robot therapies may improve the overall interaction. In the present study, thirty-four children diagnosed with ASD underwent a joint attention training with the robot Cozmo. The eight session training was embedded in the standard therapy. The children were screened for their sensory sensitivity with the Sensory Profile Checklist Revised. Their social skills were screened before and after the training with the Early Social Communication Scale. We recorded their performance and the amount of feedback they were receiving from the therapist through animations of happy and sad emotions played on the robot. Our results showed that visual and hearing sensitivity influenced the improvements of the skill to initiate joint attention. Also, the therapists of individuals with a high sensitivity to hearing chose to play fewer animations of the robot during the training phase of the robot activity. The animations did not include sounds, but the robot was producing motor noise. These results are supporting the idea that sensory sensitivity of children diagnosed with ASD should be screened prior to engaging the children in robot-assisted therapy.

Factors predicting satisfaction with communication in daily lives of adults who stutter: An experience sampling study
Authors: Haitani Tomosumi , Sakai Naomi , Mori Koichi
Published: December 2021

Purpose: Improving satisfaction with communication (SC) is one of the issues in treatments of adults who stutter (AWS). SC can be influenced by self-rated stuttering severity (SS), negative/positive emotions, and emotion regulations and they are variable in daily communications. The present study aimed to explore factors predicting SC in daily communications of AWS, considering their variabilities and speaking contexts.Method: Twenty-seven AWS were surveyed by trait questionnaires and then by experience sampling method (ESM) seven times per day for 2 weeks, reporting speaking contexts and subjective experiences, including SC, SS, negative/positive emotions, and emotion regulations. Intra- and inter- individual variabilities and relationships of the variables were investigated.Results: Speaking contexts were summarized by unofficial/official communications. SC, SS, and emotion regulations in unofficial communications were less variable and SC was more strongly related to trait questionnaires. Items of the ESM loaded on three latent factors in each communication type, including (1) negative emotion, (2) stuttering and associated reactions (including SS and stuttering-and anxiety-related behaviors and cognitions), and (3) positive emotion and attending to communication. SC was more strongly associated with (3) than (2) in unofficial communications while the opposite trend was found in official communications.Conclusions: SC, SS, and stuttering-and anxiety-related emotion regulations in unofficial communications are more trait-like. Not only negative emotion regulations but also positive emotion regulations should be treated to improve SC in AWS, considering speaking contexts.
Range Restriction affects Factor Analysis: Normality, Estimation, Fit, Loadings, and Reliability
Authors: Franco-Martínez Alicia , Alvarado Jesús M. , Sorrel Miguel A.
Published: December 2021

A sample suffers range restriction (RR) when its variance is reduced comparing to its population variance and, in turn, it fails representing such population. If the RR occurs over the latent factor, not directly over the observed variable, the researcher deals with an indirect RR, common when using convenience samples. This work explores how this problem affects different outputs of the factor analysis: multivariate normality (MVN), estimation process, goodness-of-fit, recovery of factor loadings, and reliability. In doing so, a Monte Carlo study was conducted. Data were generated following the linear selective sampling model, simulating tests varying their sample size (N = 200 and 500 cases), test size (J = 6, 12, 18, 24 items), loading size (L = .50, .70, and .90) and restriction size (from R = 1, .90, .80, and so on till .10 selection ratio). Our results systematically suggest that an interaction between decreasing the loading size and increasing the restriction size affects the MVN assessment, obstructs the estimation process, and leads to an underestimation of the factor loadings and reliability. However, most of the MVN tests and most of the fit indices employed were nonsensitive to the RR problem. We provide some recommendations to applied researchers.
The United Kingdom’s first unsanctioned overdose prevention site; a proof-of-concept evaluation
Authors: Shorter Gillian W , Harris Magdalena , McAuley Andrew , Traynor Kirsten , Stevens Alex
Published: December 2021

AbstractBackground: The United Kingdom (UK) is currently experiencing a public health crisis of drug-related deaths. The government has rejected recommendations to open overdose prevention services, under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. To report on the operation and use of an unsanctioned overdose prevention service which operated in Glasgow city centre from September 2020 to May 2021.Methods: Description of the service, with analysis of data collected on its use.Results: The service operated for nine months without permission or funding from official sources. We report on the 894 injections supervised and recorded, and nine successful interventions with overdose events (seven opioid/two cocaine). Powder cocaine injection predominated either alone (60.6%) or with heroin (22.1%). Injection was mostly in the groin (68.0%) or arm (16.8%). More injections were recorded by males (70.1%). Around 65% of injection events featured an individual who was also on a buprenorphine/methadone prescription.Conclusion: It is feasible for an overdose prevention service to operate successfully in the UK without being shut down by the police or with negative consequences for the community. Future sites in the UK must tailor to the substances used by their potential clients, international trends (e.g. for fentanyl use) did not apply here. There is an urgent need and demand for these services in the UK to reduce harm, prevent and intervene during overdose, and provide vital psychosocial support for health and wellbeing in a highly marginalised population.
Secondary Effects of Body Dissatisfaction Interventions on Adolescent Depressive Symptoms: A Meta-Analysis
Authors: Ahuvia Isaac , Jans Laura , Schleider Jessica L.
Published: December 2021

Objective: Depression is a leading cause of disability among adolescents, yet existing treatments are variably effective, suggesting needs to identify novel intervention targets. Body dissatisfaction (BD) may be a promising, but understudied, target: BD is common among adolescents; prospectively associated with future depression; and modifiable through intervention. BD interventions are typically evaluated in terms of impacts on eating disorders, but many trials also measure depression-related secondary outcomes. However, BD intervention effects on depression have not been systematically examined. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to estimate secondary effects of BD interventions on depression symptoms and related outcomes in adolescents (ages 12-19). Method: Our systematic review included RCTs published between January 2006-December 2020. Across-group effect sizes were analyzed using robust variance estimation. Pre-registered methods, data, and analytic code are available at https://osf.io/734n8/. Results: The meta-analysis included thirteen RCTs, 50 effect sizes, and 6,962 participants. BD interventions led to significant post-intervention reductions in depression-related outcomes versus control conditions (g = -.19 at post-intervention, 95% CI -.07, -.31, p = .005). No evidence emerged for moderators of this meta-analytic effect. Discussion: Overall, BD-focused interventions significantly reduced adolescent depression, with mean post-intervention effect sizes comparable to those observed for interventions targeting depression explicitly. Results are bolstered by pre-registered methods and robustness checks. Limitations include a lack of data on participants’ sexual and gender identities and a significant risk of bias in the underlying literature. Future research on BD interventions should measure depression symptom severity as a secondary outcome.
Memorability: Reconceptualizing Memory as a Visual Attribute
Authors: Bainbridge Wilma A.
Published: December 2021

In the world of visual memory, we often focus our study on the process of memory, but equally important are the inputs to the process—the images we are remembering. A growing body of work has shown that images have a strong power over what we will remember or forget; images have an intrinsic memorability that causes them to be remembered or forgotten across people. In this chapter, I describe our current understanding of memorability as a stimulus property, and its relationship to various aspects of vision and memory. The memorability of an image remains consistent across people, tasks, images, and timing, and shows specific stereotyped patterns in the brain that are separate from those of perception and memory. Recent evidence has proposed that memorability could represent how perceived inputs are prioritized for memory encoding. Although there is currently no comprehensive model of what makes something memorable, deep learning has shown strides in being able to predict and manipulate the memorability of an image. Armed with the memorability scores of an image, one can then create high-powered memory experiments, or develop tests that can more efficiently identify cognitive decline. There are still many open questions about memorability, but a deeper understanding will promise to give us agency over our memories and the images that create them.
Self-Expansion in Intercultural Relationships: Cultural Integration as a Mechanism for the Association with Relationship Quality
Authors: Naeimi Hanieh , Muise Amy , Lab SHaRe
Published: December 2021

Intercultural romantic relationships, in which partners have different cultural backgrounds, are increasingly common. Intercultural marriages, however, remain relatively rare, accounting for only 5% of all unions in Canada. Intercultural couples may face additional barriers in maintaining their relationships over time, including reconciling their cultural and couple identities (identity integration) and communicating effectively about cultural differences (cultural inclusion). Despite these challenges, intercultural relationships may also provide opportunities for self-expansion – novelty or growth as a result of the relationship or a partner’s culture. Across three studies we tested the prediction that self-expansion in intercultural relationships would be associated with higher relationship satisfaction and lower conflict through cultural integration processes. In Studies 1 and 2—a cross-sectional study of people in intercultural relationships (N=242) and a dyadic study of intercultural couples (N=312)—we found that self-expansion (both in general, and specific to partners’ cultures) was associated with higher relationship quality through greater integration and cultural inclusion. In Study 3—a pre-registered experimental study (N=342)–we found that although people in a cultural self-expansion group reported higher relationship satisfaction compared to a control group, cultural integration processes did not mediate this relationship. Our findings reveal that sharing cultural differences and novel experiences can be beneficial for intercultural couples, extending self-expansion theory to intercultural relationships and providing insight into the maintenance of satisfaction over time.
“I Didn’t Think I’d Be Supported”: LGBTQ Students’ Non-Reporting of Bias Incidents at Southeastern Colleges and Universities
Authors: Weise Jessica , Courtney Steph , Strunk Kamden K
Published: December 2021

Colleges and universities are complex spaces of both LGBTQ+ liberation and oppression. College students experience LGBTQ+ bias-motivated incidents of harassment, assault, or other violence. Previous researchers have found that these incidents are severely under-reported, which may be related to a range of factors, including campus policies, campus climates, and administrator incompetence. These campus characteristics are upheld through systems of anti-LGBTQ+ surveillance and oppression, including compulsory heterogenderism, which normalize anti-LGBTQ+ violence. In this study, we used a survey of 143 LGBTQ+ college students in the Southeastern U.S. to examine their experiences of violence on campus. Using queer theory, we analyzed student responses about bias-motivated incidents and whether they chose to report the incidents to campus or legal authorities via convergent mixed methods. In this analysis, LGBTQ+ students' decisions to report a bias incident are moderated by considerations of the significance of the incidents, unclear and prohibitive reporting options, and the risks associated with reporting. Additionally, students regularly minimized the seriousness of violence against themselves even when describing incidents that commonly meet college and university definitions of harassment and/or assault. This study shows LGBTQ+ students' experiences of bias-motivated violence and (non)reporting are complex and affected by many facets of college life. Therefore, colleges and universities looking to address violence on campus need to improve not only policy but also communication and other efforts that demonstrate students experiencing violence will be heard, supported, and affirmed.
Comparative Privacy Research: Literature Review, Framework, and Research Agenda
Authors: Masur Philipp K. , Epstein Dmitry , Quinn Kelly , Wilhelm Carsten , Baruh Lemi , Lutz Christoph
Published: December 2021

The ways in which privacy is understood, defined, perceived, and enacted are contingent on the cultural, social, political, economic, and technological settings. Yet, privacy research is often criticized for not adequately accounting for those. A comparative perspective requires the contextualization of privacy through investigating similarities and differences across contexts. This paper outlines the comparative privacy research framework (CPRF), which involves (a) scrutinizing one’s position (of power) and epistemological biases, (b) assessing the comparability of the object under study, (c) identifying and justifying meaningful units of comparison, and (d) reflecting on how these units of comparison interact in shaping privacy. We conclude by proposing a comparative privacy research agenda that informs efforts in privacy regulation, education, and research.
Qualitative Coding in the Computational Era: A Hybrid Approach to Improve Reliability and Reduce Effort for Coding Ethnographic Interviews
Authors: Li Zhuofan , Dohan Daniel , Abramson Corey
Published: December 2021

Sociologists have argued that there is value in incorporating computational tools into qualitative research, including using machine learning to code qualitative data. Yet standard computational approaches do not neatly align with traditional qualitative practices. The authors introduce a hybrid human-machine learning approach (HHMLA) that combines a contemporary iterative approach to qualitative coding with advanced word embedding models that allow contextual interpretation beyond what can be reliably accomplished with conventional computational approaches. The results, drawn from an analysis of 87 human-coded ethnographic interview transcripts, demonstrate that HHMLA can code data sets at a fraction of the effort of human-only strategies, saving hundreds of hours labor in even modestly sized qualitative studies, while improving coding reliability. The authors conclude that HHMLA may provide a promising model for coding data sets where human-only coding would be logistically prohibitive but conventional computational approaches would be inadequate given qualitative foci.

Um projeto de resistência cultural com o trabalho voluntário de uma centena de pessoas escritoras, artistas visuais, da música e do bailado, da leitura dramatizada, tradutoras e editoras vai ganhando forma. Mais tarde outras formas se juntaram: dança, cartoon, ilustração, foto-reportagem, fotograﬁa de viagens e fotograﬁa artística. Expande-se como obra agregante de expressões que será colocada ao público em vários meios sem fim lucrativo. Serializado primeiro em texto e vídeo digitais, publicado em acesso gratuito em redes sociais e blogues entre abril e maio, impresso depois em livro bilingue já desconfinado, o Bode Inspiratório incorpora as dificuldades e as ansiedades coincidentes com a transformação violenta desses dias. O início do projeto marca-se pelo ensejo comum de continuar a trabalhar e a comunicar entre um grupo de agentes culturais, criado para este fim. O grupo participante mostra-se em diversidade linguística, nacional, de sexo e género, de gerações e agrega-se em torno da ideia inicial de Ana Margarida Carvalho. O primeiro post/capítulo será de Mário de Carvalho, o último de Luísa Costa Gomes. Outros nomes se irão juntando à medida que o projeto é difundido.isolamento socialfolh

The image of Europe and the European Union in digital media of Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia (discourse analysis 2005-2019)
Authors: Steblyna Nataliia
Published: December 2021

The image of the EU and Europe in digital mass media of Ukraine, Belarus and Russia is studied in this article using the methodology of discourse analysis. Independent digital mass media Ukrainska Pravda, Nasha Niva, Lenta.ru, Novaya Gazeta are analysed (online publications from years 2005–2019). Three images of Europe in the media are indicated as a result of the research. In Ukraine: a strong reliance on Europe as the idea is observed. The EU and its institutions are stably present in political news, but European politicians are not so popular. In Belarus: Europe doesn’t structure political discussions, however, efforts of the neighbouring EU Member States may be important in the image creation. In Russia: there is not much interest towards Europe, but some approaches to present constant clashes between Russia and the West are evident in digital mass media. The research has confirmed the main hypothesis, which supposed that the mechanisms of creating the image of Europe and the EU in post-Soviet countries’ mass media are different, and the specifics of political discourse, as well as the states’ international politics define the image.

Published: December 2021

This project used a retrospective case series design to investigate factors associated with stroke in a rural
area in Appalachian Kentucky. The south-eastern region of the U.S. is often referred to as the ‘stroke belt,’
and includes the Appalachian region of the state of Kentucky. Data were collected from medical records of
patients from a neurology practice and regional hospital with a diagnosis of stroke from March 2012 through
November 2015. Data were collected without personal identifiers and included demographic characteristics,
stroke type, treatments received, and referrals for additional care including rehabilitation. Data from a total
of 84 stroke cases diagnosed between March 2012 and November 2015 were included. Of the 84 cases, 46
(54.8%) were female and all but one was Caucasian. The distribution by race is consistent with the
population of the region. The stroke cases ranged in age from 41 to 92 (M=66.3) and the age at stroke
diagnosis ranged from 40 to 90 (M=65.7). Fourteen (16.7%) had evidence of a previous stroke at diagnosis.
For smokers, the mean age at diagnosis was 62.7 for smokers while for non-smokers it was 67.5. The study
reported smoking rates that were nearly three-times the national average, and the smokers in this study were
found to have stroke onset approximately five-years earlier than non-smokers. The results from this case
series support the need for further investigation on stroke prevalence and factors contributing to continued
risk for stroke in Appalachia.
The type section of the Codell Sandstone

Published: December 2021

We formally assign, describe and interpret a principal reference section for the middle Turonian Codell Sandstone Member of the Carlile Shale near Codell, Kansas. This section, at the informally named Pumpjack Road, provides the thickest surface expression (9 m, ~30 ft) of the unit in Ellis County. The outcrop exposes features that typify the Codell throughout the southern Denver Basin and vicinity. At this reference section, the Codell conformably overlies the Blue Hill Shale Member of the Carlile Shale and is unconformably overlain by the Fort Hays Limestone Member of the Niobrara Formation or locally by a thin (<0.9 m, <3 ft) discontinuous mudstone known as the Antonino facies. The top contact of the Codell is slightly undulatory with possible compaction features or narrow (<30.5 m, <100 ft), low-relief (0.3-0.6 m, 1-2 ft) scours, all of which hint that the Codell is a depositional remnant, even at the type section. At Pumpjack Road, the Codell coarsens upward from a recessive-weathering argillaceous medium-grained siltstone with interbedded mudstone at its base to a more indurated cliff-forming muddy, highly bioturbated, very fine-grained sandstone at its top. The unit contains three informal gradational packages: a lower Codell of medium to coarse siltstone and mudstone, a middle Codell of muddy coarse siltstone, and an upper muddy Codell dominated by well-sorted very fine-grained sandstone. The largest grain fractions, all <120 mm in size, are mostly quartz (40-80%), potassium feldspar (7-12%), and albite (1-2%), with some chert (<15%), zircon, and other constituents such as abraded phosphatic skeletal debris. Rare fossil fish teeth and bones also occur. Detrital and authigenic clays make up 9 to 42% of the Codell at the reference section. Detrital illite and mixed layer illite/smectite are common, along with omnipresent kaolinite as grain coatings or cement. As is typical for the Codell, the sandstone at the type section has been pervasively bioturbated. Most primary structures and bedding are obscured, particularly toward the top of the unit where burrows are larger, deeper and more diverse than at its base. This bioturbation has created a textural inversion in which the larger silt and sand grains are very well sorted but are mixed with mud. Detrital zircons from the upper Codell are unusual in that they are mostly prismatic to acicular, euhedral, colorless, unpitted, and unabraded, and have a near-unimodal age peak centered at ~94 Ma. These characteristics suggest they were reworked mainly from Cenomanian bentonites; their ultimate source was likely from the Cordilleran orogenic belt to the west and northwest.

We integrate new and previous stratigraphic and petrographic data for the mid-Turonian Codell Sandstone to interpret its provenance, depositional characteristics, and environments. Our focus is on sedimentologic, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray fluorescence analyses of cores and thin sections spread throughout the Denver Basin, augmented by interpretation and correlation of well logs, isopach maps, outcrops, and provenance data. Although we treat the Codell as a single mappable unit, it actually consists of two geographically disjunct sandstone packages separated by a southwest-northeast-trending gap, the NoCoZo, short for No Codell Zone. The Codell is everywhere capped by a significant unconformity and across much of the northern Denver Basin rests unconformably on the underlying shales of the Carlile Shale. In the southern Denver Basin, the Codell commonly contains two parasequences, each of which becomes less muddy upward. Biostratigraphic and geochonologic data suggest that the unit represents deposition over a relatively brief time, spanning ~0.4 Ma from ~91.7 to ~91.3 Ma. The Codell is predominantly a thin (<50 ft) sheet-like package of pervasively bioturbated coarse siltstone and very fine-grained sandstone dominated by quartz and chert grains 50 to 100 μm in diameter. The unit is more phosphatic than the underlying members of the Carlile Shale, and its grain size coarsens to medium-grained in the northern part of the basin. An unusual aspect of the Codell across our study area is the generally excellent grain sorting despite the presence of an intermixed clay matrix. This duality of well sorted grains in a detrital clay matrix is due to the bioturbation that dominates the unit. Such burrowing created a textural inversion that obscures most of the unit’s primary sedimentary structures, except for thin intervals dominated by interlaminated silty shale and very fine sandstone. A relatively widespread and unburrowed example of this bedded facies is preserved in a thin (<10 ft) interval that extends across most of the northern Denver Basin where it is informally called the middle Codell bedded to laminated lithofacies. Sparse beds with hummocky or swaley cross-stratified and ripple cross-laminated fine-grained sandstone are present locally in this bedded facies. We hypothesize that Codell sediments were derived from a major deltaic source extending into the Western Interior Seaway from northwestern Wyoming, and that the Codell was deposited and reworked southward on the relatively flat floor of the Seaway by waxing and waning shelf currents as well as storms and waves. Codell sediments were spread across an area of more than 100,000 mi2 in this epeiric shelf system that spans eastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming, western Kansas, parts of Nebraska and beyond.

Tindak pidana eksploitasi seksual anak merupakan sebuah kejahatan yang tidak pernah surut dalam masyarakat. Perkembangan jaman, kemajuan teknologi, serta kemajuan pola pikir manusia tidak membuat kejahatan ini berkurang. Eksploitasi seksual komersial anak mencakup praktek-praktek kriminal yang merendahkan dan mengancam integritas fisik dan psikososial anak. Dalam penelitian ini permasalahan yang akan dibahas adalah bagaimana penegakan hukum terhadap pelaku tindak pidana eksploitasi seksual anak ditinjau dari peraturan perundangan yang berlaku di Indonesia. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Berdasarkan analisis yang dilakukan maka dapat diketahui bahwa Indonesia belum memiliki peraturan perundangan yang secara spesifik mengatur mengenai tindak pidana ini, sehingga ke depannya diharapkan akan ada sebuah peraturan perundangan yang dapat mengakomodir secara spesifik mengenai tindak pidana ini.

Fenomena hubungan antar KY dan MA mengalami pasang surut dan masih mengalami banyak salah tafsir dan belum ada paradigma yang sama sehingga jika dibiarkan bisa berdampak luas terhadap penegakan hukum dan keadilan dalam sistem peradilan di Indonesia. Banyak aspek yang perlu dibangun minimal membangun paradigma, mengevaluasi bebrbagai tugas dan wewenang masing-masing agar menghasilkan hubungan yang harmonis dan sinergitas yang kuat. Berdasarkan problematika hubungan kedua lembaga negara  tersebut, penulis  tertarik untuk mengkaji dan  membahas tentang “ Membangun hubungan Komisi Yudisial dengan Mahkamah Agung yang Ideal”. Untuk mengkaji dan  membahas lebih mendasar dan mendalam tentang hal tersebut penulis merumuskan permasalahan sebagai berikut “Bagaimana upaya membangun hubungan yang ideal antara Komisi Yudisial dengan Mahkamah Agung ? Metode yang digunakan sesuai dengan jenis penelitian yaitu yuridis normatif, dengan menggunakan bahan-bahan hukum primer dan sekunder, sedangkan analisis yang digunakan analisis yuridis kualitatif. Kesimpulanya adalah paradigma hubungan yang harus dibangun antara KY dan MA adalah paradigma kesetaraan, sistemik, profesionalitas dan proporsionalitas. Upaya yang dilakukan adalah memperkuat komunikasi, kordinasi  dan mengkaji serta mengevaluasi berbagai hambatan dan kelemahan mengenai kedudukan, fungsi dan wewenang antara kedua lembaga negara tersebut dengan melibatkan para ahli atau tokoh tokoh bangsa yang netral. Termasuk membenahi dari aspek perarturan peundang-undangannnya.

Anak sebagai amanah sekaligus karunia Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, senantiasa harus kita jaga karena dalam dirinya melekat harkat, martabat dan hak-hak sebagai manusia yang harus dijunjung tinggi dan pada dasarnya, terjadinya kenakalan remaja menunjukkan adanya ketidakdisiplinan remaja terhadap aturan dan norma yang berlaku, baik itu keluarga, sekolah, masyarakat maupun norma diri sebagai individu, dan penanaman norma tersebut sebelumnya tentu harus diberikan kepada individu remaja agar mereka mempunyai pemahaman yang baik terkait dengan norma tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk dapat mengidentifikasi anak yang berhadapan hukum dari aspek psikologi hukum. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode penelitian secara yuridis normatif dan dianalisis data secara kualitatif dengan cara studi kepustakaan, yaitu mempelajari, memahami, mengidentifikasi dan mencatat literatur, peraturan perundang-undangan serta data-data yang berhubungan dengan masalah penelitian sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa dalam menangani anak yang berhadapan hukum perlu adanya pendekatan secara psikologi dalam hukum yaitu mengacu pada penerapan-penerapan spesifik psikologi hukum di dalam hukum dalam menganalisis sebab-sebab pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh anak serta penyebab adanya pelanggar hukum yang masih anak-anak atau juvenile offenders.
Outcomes of cingulate epilepsy surgery: insights from an institutional and patient-level systematic review and meta-analysis

OBJECTIVE

Due to their deep and medial location, range of seizure semiologies, and poor localization on ictal electroencephalography (EEG), cingulate gyrus seizures can be difficult to diagnose and treat. The aim of this study was to review the available evidence on postoperative outcomes after cingulate epilepsy surgery.

METHODS

A comprehensive literature search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Ovid Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted to identify studies that investigated postoperative outcomes of patients with cingulate epilepsy. Seizure freedom at the last follow-up (at least 12 months) was the primary endpoint. The literature search was supplemented by the authors’ institutional series (4 patients).

RESULTS

Twenty-one studies were identified, yielding a total of 105 patients (68 with lesional epilepsy [65%]). Median age at surgery was 23 years, and 56% of patients were male. Median epilepsy duration was 7.5 years. Invasive EEG recording was performed on 69% of patients (53% of patients with lesional epilepsy and 97% of those with nonlesional epilepsy, p < 0.001). The most commonly resected region was the anterior cingulate (55%), followed by the posterior (17%) and middle (14%) cingulate. Lesionectomy alone was performed in 9% of patients. Additional extracingulate treatment was performed in 54% of patients (53% of patients with lesional epilepsy vs 57% of those with nonlesional epilepsy, p = 0.87). The most common pathology was cortical dysplasia (54%), followed by low-grade neoplasm (29%) and gliosis (8%). Seizure freedom was noted in 72% of patients (median follow-up 24 months). A neurological deficit was noted in 27% of patients (24% had temporary deficit), with the most common deficit being motor weakness (13%) followed by supplementary motor area syndrome (9.5%). Univariate survival analysis revealed significantly greater probability of seizure freedom in patients with lesional epilepsy (p = 0.015, log-rank test).

CONCLUSIONS

Surgical treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy originating from the cingulate gyrus is safe, leads to low rates of permanent adverse effects, and leads to high rates of long-term seizure freedom in carefully selected patients. These data may serve as a benchmark for surgical counseling of patients with cingulate epilepsy.

OBJECTIVE

The clinical outcomes for patients undergoing resection of diffuse glioma within the middle frontal gyrus (MFG) are understudied. Anatomically, the MFG is richly interconnected to known language areas, and nearby subcortical fibers are at risk during resection. The goal of this study was to determine the functional outcomes and intraoperative mapping results related to resection of MFG gliomas. Additionally, the study aimed to evaluate if subcortical tract disruption on imaging correlated with functional outcomes.

METHODS

The authors performed a retrospective review of 39 patients with WHO grade II–IV diffuse gliomas restricted to only the MFG and underlying subcortical region that were treated with resection and had no prior treatment. Intraoperative mapping results and postoperative neurological deficits by discharge and 90 days were assessed. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography was used to assess subcortical tract integrity on pre- and postoperative imaging.

RESULTS

The mean age of the cohort was 37.9 years at surgery, and the median follow-up was 5.1 years. The mean extent of resection was 98.9% for the cohort. Of the 39 tumors, 24 were left sided (61.5%). Thirty-six patients (92.3%) underwent intraoperative mapping, with 59% of patients undergoing an awake craniotomy. No patients had positive cortical mapping sites overlying the tumor, and 12 patients (33.3%) had positive subcortical stimulation sites. By discharge, 8 patients had language dysfunction, and 5 patients had mild weakness. By 90 days, 2 patients (5.1%) had persistent mild hand weakness only. There were no persistent language deficits by 90 days. On univariate analysis, preoperative tumor size (p = 0.0001), positive subcortical mapping (p = 0.03), preoperative tumor invasion of neighboring subcortical tracts on DTI tractography (p = 0.0003), and resection cavity interruption of subcortical tracts on DTI tractography (p < 0.0001) were associated with an increased risk of having a postoperative deficit by discharge. There were no instances of complete subcortical tract transections in the cohort.

CONCLUSIONS

MFG diffuse gliomas may undergo extensive resection with minimal risk for long-term morbidity. Partial subcortical tract interruption may lead to transient but not permanent deficits. Subcortical mapping is essential to reduce permanent morbidity during resection of MFG tumors by avoiding complete transection of critical subcortical tracts.
