Decreased frontal, striatal and cerebellar activation in adults with ADHD during an adaptive delay discounting task
Authors: Ortiz Nick , Parsons Aisling , Whelan Robert , Brennan Katie , Agan Maria , O'Connell Redmond , Bramham Jessica , Garavan Hugh
Published: November 2023

An important characteristic of childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a bias towards small immediate versus larger delayed rewards, but it is not known if this symptom is also a feature of adult ADHD. A delay-discounting task was administered to participants with adult ADHD and a comparison group in conjunction with functional magnetic resonance imaging. Participants responded to a series of questions that required judgments between small sums of money available immediately and larger sums obtained after a temporal delay. Question parameters were adjusted by an adaptive algorithm designed to converge on each participant’s discounting indifference point, an individual set point at which there is equal valuation of both choices. In all participants, robust task activation was observed in regions previously identified in functional imaging studies of delay discounting. However, adults with ADHD showed less task activation in a number of regions including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, superior frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate, caudate nucleus and declive of the cerebellum. Additionally, the degree to which a participant discounted delayed rewards was inversely related to task activation in the cerebellum. The results suggest that the bias towards immediate rewards in childhood ADHD may not persist behaviorally, but instead present in adulthood as alterations in frontostriatal and frontocerebellar networks.
Alteration of spontaneous spectral powers and coherences of local field potential in prenatal valproic acid mouse model of autism
Authors: Cheaha Dania , Kumarnsit Ekkasit
Published: November 2023

Previously, autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been identified mainly by social communication deficits and behavioral symptoms. However, a link between behaviors and learning process in the brain of animal model of autism remained largely unexplored. Particularly, spontaneous neural signaling in learning-related brain areas has not been studied. This study investigated local field potential (LFP) of the hippocampus (HP), the olfactory bulb (OB) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in mice prenatally exposed to valproic acid (VPA) on gestational day 13. Adult male Swiss albino mouse offspring implanted with intracranial electrodes were used. VPA-exposed mice exhibited ASD-associated behaviors. Hippocampal LFP analysis revealed that VPA group significantly increased low gamma activity (25–45 Hz) during awake immobility. Regression analyses confirmed positive correlations between locomotor speed and hippocampal theta oscillations in control but not VPA group. VPA group exhibited increases in delta (1–4 Hz) and beta (25–35 Hz) activities in OB during awake immobility and active exploring, respectively. Moreover, significantly increased and decreased coherences between HP and OB of VPA animals were seen within gamma (active exploration) and theta (awake immobility) ranges, respectively. In addition, significant increase in coherence between HP and mPFC was seen within delta range during active exploration. In addition to three ASD symptoms, VPA animals also exhibited differential patterns of olfacto-hippocampal LFP, altered locomotor speed-related hippocampal theta activities and distinct interplays between HP and learning-related brain areas. The altered olfacto-hippocampal and medial prefrontal cortex-hippocampal networks may underlie impairments in autism mouse model.

Published: November 2023

Previous studies have demonstrated that repeated submission of rats to mild hypobaric hypoxia reduces the persistent behavioral and hormonal depressive symptoms induced by exposure to footshock in the learned helplessness paradigm. The aim of this study was to determine whether hypoxic preconditioning of mice can also induce antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects that are detectable with the other commonly used behavioral tests, and to determine whether these effects are accompanied by an increase in neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the hippocampus, which may suggest the involvement of NPY in these mechanisms. The intermittent mild hypobaric hypoxia was generated by 2-h exposure of mice to 0.47 atm for 3 consecutive days. In the tail suspension test a significant decrease in the duration of immobility was observed 24 h, but not 48 h after the last hypobaric session. The elevated plus maze trials performed 48 h after preconditioning showed a significant increase in the frequency of open arm entries, a reduction in the duration of closed arm occupancy and substantially more time spent in the open arms in comparison to the control groups. The open field test demonstrated the absence of increases in general activity or unspecific exploratory behavior in hypoxia-preconditioned mice. The EIA test detected a statistically significant but relatively weak increase in the NPY content in the hippocampus 24 h after preconditioning. Together, our data demonstrate that preconditioning of mice with intermittent mild hypobaric hypoxia induces anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects. They are accompanied by up-regulation of NPY which may suggest its mechanistic role.
Lesions of the central nucleus of the amygdala only impair flavor aversion learning in the absence of olfactory information
Authors: Agüera Antonio , Puerto Amadeo
Published: November 2023

The amygdala is considered a crucial brain nucleus in different modalities of aversive conditioning, including flavor aversion learning (FAL). The importance attributed to the amygdala and its subnuclei has frequently depended on the different stimuli and procedures used in FAL tasks. In this study, FAL was impaired only in animals that had lesions in the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA) area and also had their olfactory bulbs removed. However, this task was learned by neurologically intact animals, bulbectomized animals, and rats with lesions exclusively centered in the CeA area alone. These results suggest that the CeA area may be relevant in gustatory-gut associative learning but not in FAL, in which the olfactory system may counteract the deficit produced in taste-visceral convergence.
Global orientation estimation in noisy conditions
Authors: Bocheva Nadejda , Stefanov Simeon , Stefanova Miroslava , Genova Bilyana
Published: November 2023

The present paper studies the perceived orientation of line patterns with variable elongation, line length, orientation jitter, and presentation time. It evaluates whether the internal noise and sampling efficiency evaluated by equivalent noise paradigm (Pelli 1981) depend on the spatial configuration and temporal characteristics of the stimulation. The evaluated internal noise was compared to the results of double-pass noise estimation. In addition, the eye movements of the participants during active exploration of the line patterns were recorded and analyzed with respect to the stimulus characteristics. The results indicate the presence of late internal noise and show that the internal noise and sampling efficiency strongly depend on the elongation, duration and line length of the patterns. The response time increases with the orientation jitter and with the variability in line length of the patterns. It is longer also near the reference orientation for the low levels of added external noise. These results contradict some of the major assumptions of the variance-summation model and question its applicability in characterizing the perceived orientation of multi-element patterns.

Published: November 2023

Nesse trabalho, o modelo de efeitos principais aditivos e interação multiplicativa (AMMI) foi aplicado a um conjunto de dados multiambientais (Multi-Environmental Trial - MET) composto pelas respostas fenotípicas de 12 genótipos de mostarda avaliados em 6 ambientes distintos. O delineamento experimental foi o de blocos inteiramente casualizados com três repetições e a variável resposta avaliada foi produtividade em kg/ha. Os objetivos foram identificar genótipos estáveis e utilizar os efeitos da interação genótipo × ambiente (IGA) para fazer recomendações específicas. A partir dos resultados foi possível ranquear os genótipos, em termos de rendimento médio, identificando aqueles mais produtivos. Além disso, o efeito da IGA foi utilizado para identificar combinações positivas de genótipos e ambientes, a partir da interpretação do biplot AMMI2, composto por escores genotípicos e ambientais. O cálculo e o posterior ranqueamento do rendimento nominal dos genótipos, em cada um dos ambientes, foram utilizados para decidir sobre recomendações gerais ou específicas das cultivares. Com a combinação dessas informações foi possível identificar genótipos estáveis (e instáveis) e sugerir genótipos superiores (mais produtivos) em cada um dos ambientes de teste, aproveitando assim os efeitos positivos da IGA.
Análise da associação entre a produtividade e do consumo de agrotóxicos em lavouras de algodão nos principais estados produtores

Published: November 2023

O Brasil é um dos cinco maiores produtores mundiais de algodão, juntamente, com a China, Índia, EUA e Paquistão, com os estados de Mato Grosso, Bahia, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul e Minas Gerais se destacando. Uma característica da cultura é o uso intensivo de agrotóxicos, sendo a quarta cultura que mais consome estes produtos, visando o combate às pragas e doenças e aumento da produtividade. Desse modo, objetivou-se analisar a associação entre o uso de agrotóxicos e a produtividade das lavouras de algodão. Para isso, foram utilizados dados secundários de órgãos oficiais sobre área de plantio, produtividade e volume de compostos químicos utilizados nos cinco principais estados produtores, entre 2012 a 2018. Foram calculadas a produtividade e as correlações de Person e parciais, analisando a associação em agrotóxicos e produtividade. Constatou-se que a área plantada tem diminuído, com exceção de Mato Grosso (elevação de 4,5%) e que o consumo de agrotóxico é alto, destacando-se a Bahia com a menor quantidade (7,3 kg/ha) e Mato Grosso do Sul, maior consumidor (468,30 kg/ha). Quanto à produtividade, ocorreu incremento em todos os estados, se destacando Bahia (58,2%), Minas Gerais (34,8%) e Mato Grosso do Sul (32,6%), enquanto Mato Grosso (10,0%) e Goiás (2,6%) tiveram a menor produtividade. Quanto à análise da produtividade relacionada as aplicações de agrotóxicos, em Mato Grosso tal situação tem produzido bons resultados. Já, na Bahia, a aplicação tem pouca influência. Em Goiás e Mato Grosso do Sul, as variáveis agrotóxico e produtividade estão correlacionadas, enquanto em Minas Gerais a produtividade diminui quando não se utiliza os produtos e aumenta significativamente com seu uso. Os resultados indicaram que a cultura do algodão continua dependente do uso de agrotóxicos na maior parte dos estados produtores, embora uma maior quantidade utilizada não se traduza automaticamente em maior produtividade.
). Lessons Learned from the Pandemic in Indonesia: Enhancing Doctor-Patient Medical Communication to Improve Diagnostic Certainty in Telemedicine
Authors: Sugandi Mohammad Syahriar , Mulyana Deddy , Elita Raden Funny Mustikasari , Rusmana Agus
Published: November 2023

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia has transformed various aspects of life, particularly in healthcare, where communication between doctors and patients has shifted toward increased utilization of telemedicine. This research aims to achieve several objectives. Firstly, it investigates the deployment process of telemedicine as a remote medical service solution during pandemic circumstances, involving physical distancing and constraints. Secondly, it explores how telemedicine is adapted within clinic settings, considering the unique challenges and necessary adjustments for effective integration.

 

Method: This research utilizes a case study approach, specifically a multiple case study.

 

Result: Telemedicine heavily relies on patients' knowledge, information, and their role in substituting a physician's sensory input in making comprehensive medical decisions. Effective communication skills emerge as a critical solution, often overlooked as a soft skill for medical practitioners. Telemedicine encounters difficulties in discerning nonverbal cues compared to in-person consultations. To address this challenge, information gathering should encompass various media, such as photos and videos, in addition to text or verbal exchanges. Furthermore, telemedicine faces barriers related to connectivity and network issues.

 

Conclusion: Recognizing the equal standing of doctors and patients is imperative, with physicians fostering openness and trust as the foundation for mediated communication. Although specific criteria for information collection exist, doctors should proactively explore relevant patient aspects. To mitigate network issues, healthcare facilities should establish robust network infrastructure, provide healthcare professionals with suitable devices, and consider dedicated telemedicine applications for comprehensive technology mastery.

The present study aimed to compare latency and duration of inferior alveolar nerve block delivered by the carpule syringe or the Morpheus® computerized system. This study was a split-mouth, double-blind, randomized clinical trial with 31 volunteers. The inferior alveolar nerve block was performed with carpule syringe and Morpheus® device. The teeth had latency times and duration of anesthesia measured using the pulp electric tester. All data were tabulated and sent for statistical analysis with a level of significance set at 5%. The latency time were the same for most cases. The duration of the anesthetic effect was higher for the carpule technique. The success rate for the carpule technique was 80.65%. For the technique with Morpheus®, the percentage of success was 83.87%. There were no significant differences in pain after injection. Most of the volunteers preferred the anesthetic technique with Morpheus® (64.52%), while 35.48% preferred the carpule syringe. The techniques with carpule and Morpheus® presented same time of latency and anesthetic duration, as well as similar success rate. Pain experienced during the execution of the two techniques was the same. As for the preference for the injection devices, the majority opted for Morpheus® system.
SAÚDE BUCAL COMO UM INDICADOR SOCIOECONÔMICO: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Rodrigues Bruna Geórgia Silva , Nissola Maria Eduarda Policarpo , Santos Híssala Yhanna Florêncio Tristão
Published: November 2023

Este estudo enfatiza a importância da saúde bucal como um indicador crucial da saúde geral. Destaca as preocupações crescentes relacionadas às doenças periodontais devido à sua alta prevalência e aos impactos sistêmicos que elas podem causar. A pesquisa investiga a interligação entre doenças periodontais, o status socioeconômico e o funcionamento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no Brasil, analisando dados regionais e fatores econômicos para compreender como as políticas públicas podem intervir de maneira eficaz. Um dos principais achados do estudo é que as desigualdades de saúde estão estreitamente associadas ao status socioeconômico, e o acesso a cuidados odontológicos de qualidade e à educação em saúde bucal é limitado em comunidades desfavorecidas. A negligência com a saúde bucal tem implicações sistêmicas, incluindo riscos aumentados de doenças cardiovasculares e complicações no controle do diabetes tipo 2.  Portanto, o estudo destaca a necessidade de políticas públicas direcionadas, priorizando o status socioeconômico e a integração da saúde bucal na estratégia de promoção de saúde pública. Apesar dos esforços do SUS para democratizar o acesso à saúde no Brasil, a saúde bucal ainda carece de atenção adequada. Iniciativas como o Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQ-AB) têm potencial para melhorar a situação, mas é fundamental incorporar métricas específicas para a saúde bucal. Em resumo, a abordagem abrangente da saúde bucal é essencial para promover a saúde integral de indivíduos e comunidades, exigindo uma abordagem multidisciplinar que una cuidados médicos especializados, educação em saúde e políticas públicas eficazes e inclusivas. Negligenciar a saúde bucal significa negligenciar a saúde como um todo, colocando em risco o bem-estar de comunidades e indivíduos.

Authors: Jacobsen Sine , Lauszus Finn Friis , Jeppesen Cathrine Krogh , Christensen Heidi , Forman Axel
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is common after natural menopause as well as in women with induced menopause due to endocrine therapy and/or oophorectomy following breast cancer. Vaginal laser therapy is a nonhormonal treatment option that appears to alleviate GSM symptoms in natural menopause; however, women with induced menopause may respond differently. The aim of this study was thus to evaluate the efficacy and safety of laser treatment on GSM in postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors.
Methods: A total of 34 women were enrolled in the study, each completing three treatments at monthly intervals. After each treatment, sexual function was assessed with PISQ-12, urinary incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms were measured using ICIQ-UI SF and ICIQ-OAB, and the improvement of urinary incontinence was measured using PGI-I and PGI-S.
Results: At the time of follow-up, one year after the start of treatment the total PISQ-12 score had significantly increased in both groups compared to baseline (33 to 35.5, difference 2.5, 95% CI: 0.9-4.3). As assessed by ICIQ-UI SF scores, vaginal laser therapy also improved urinary incontinence from 5.3 at baseline to 3.4 at one-year follow-up (difference 1.9, 95% CI:0.4-3.1) for the total group. Improved urgency score from 3.1 at baseline to 2.5 at one-year follow-up (difference 0.7, 95% CI:0.02-1.5) and less leakage after urgency 3.1 at baseline to 2.8 at one-year follow-up (difference 0.8, 95% CI:0.05-1.5) were also reported.  No complications were observed.
Conclusion: Vaginal laser therapy appears to be safe and may reduce GSM symptoms in postmenopausal women and breast cancer survivors. Separate randomized controlled studies are needed.
Representation of the victim of a road traffic accident at the subsequent stage of the pre-trial investigation
Authors: Chervinskyi Vadym
Published: November 2023

Due to the lack of professional staff and the high workload of investigators, investigations into crimes against road safety and transport operation are often conducted ineffectively. As a result, the rights of victims of car accidents stay unprotected. This makes the issue of providing them with legal aid especially important. The purpose of this study was to develop the principles of victim representation at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation of crimes against road safety. The methods used in this study include general scientific methods (inductive, deductive, analysis, synthesis, analogy, modelling) and special methods (systemic and structural analysis, logical-legal, comparative legal, sociological). The activities of a road traffic accident victim’s representative during the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation are considered with a division into separate components (procedural, control and advisory, and search) which are interrelated and interdependent. The features of these components in their interconnection were systematically outlined. The procedural and control-advisory components were studied inseparably from each other at the general level and at the level of concrete investigative (detective) actions. The search component was studied separately with the definition of its specific components, methods and means of their implementation. The study defined the principles of organisation and some tactical methods of representation of a road traffic accident victim at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation of crimes against road traffic safety. The author proposes a methodology for initiating the necessary investigative actions by the victim’s representative in different types of interaction (constructive, official business, conflict) that develop at a later stage between them and representatives of the prosecution. Based on the analysis of Ukrainian legislation and its application practice, the study identified the range of problems arising in the practical activities of a representative of a road traffic accident victim at the subsequent stage of pre-trial investigation and suggested ways to resolve them. The use of the provisions of this study will contribute to the improvement of the activities of trial lawyers, increase the effectiveness of legal aid to victims of road accidents, and to further research in this area

The spread of the Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) virus since 2019 has caused a pandemic in this world. Generally, the existing body temperature checkers only function to check the temperature, and allow someone to escape from the process. By utilizing the Internet of Things, it is possible to make a body temperature checking device that can measure measurement data into a database, and display it on a smartphone through an application and this tool is named the Design and Build of a Prototype of Internet of Things-Based Body Temperature Monitoring. The tool uses an infrared temperature sensor which functions to measure contactless body temperature and before using the sensor must be accessed using a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) card so that data that has checked body temperature can be stored. The data is stored in a database and can also be accessed in the form of a website using the black box testing method. This method is used to find out if the software is working properly. With this tool the screening process becomes more leverage, because the tool can record the temperature of the user of the tool and can store it in the database.

Published: November 2023

The pattern of eradicating corruption by punishing perpetrators with severe criminal sanctions and even up to the death penalty must be upheld to prevent acts of corruption. However, in practice, the criminal sanctions given by court judges to perpetrators are still light, even when the perpetrators are law enforcement officials such as the Prosecutor  General's Office. The problem is how to consider the judges of the DKI Jakarta High Court Number 10/Pid.Sus-TPK/2021/PT.Dki and the Decision of the Central Jakarta District Court Number 11/Pid.B/TPK/2008/PN.Jkt.Pst in imposing criminal sanctions by Prosecutor  Pinangki and Prosecutor  Urip Tri Gunawan? The research method used is normative juridical research using secondary data. The results of the study stated that the consideration of the DKI Jakarta High Court Judge Number 10/Pid.Sus-TPK/2021/PT.Dki and the Decision of the Central Jakarta District Court Number 11/Pid.B/TPK/2008/PN.Jkt.Pst in imposing criminal sanctions that were carried out by Prosecutor  Pinangki and Prosecutor  Urip Tri Gunawan was based on mitigating and aggravating matters which led to disparities. This is caused by structural factors, substance factors, and cultural factors.

Published: November 2023

The purpose of this counseling is to understand the recognition of disputed joint property in divorce lawsuits and how the system of dividing contested joint property works in divorce lawsuits. It serves as input for readers, academics, and government authorities. The research method used is normative empirical legal research. The filing of joint property lawsuits can be done simultaneously with divorce lawsuits, child custody, child support, and spousal support (consolidated lawsuits) or separately after the divorce lawsuit is finalized. Both the husband and wife can file consolidated lawsuits. The wife can file more lawsuits than the husband, particularly in cases of spousal support (iddah and mut'ah), while if the husband files a lawsuit for spousal support, it becomes problematic because spousal support is the husband's obligation. The wife is entitled to iddah support. The common obstacle in seeking legal protection through joint property lawsuits in divorce cases is the wife's limited legal knowledge, which can affect outcomes that do not meet expectations.

The research method used is a field study with a normative-empirical approach. Primary data sources were gathered through interviews with the Chief of the Religious Court in Sangatta, judges, child support claimants, and other relevant parties. The results of this research indicate that child support payments after the dissolution of marriage in the jurisdiction of the Religious Court in Sangatta are still not functioning properly. This is due to the economic incapacity of the fathers and negligence on the part of fathers in providing post-divorce child support.
Legal Protection for Corruption Crime Reporters (Whistle Blower) in Bandung High Court Decision Number: 32/PID.TPK/2022/PT BDG
Authors: Muhamad Maulana Yusup
Published: November 2023

Legal protection for reporting witnesses in criminal acts of corruption is part of and protects human rights, because witnesses in corruption cases are considered community participation to reveal criminal acts that are very detrimental to the state, so that the state has an obligation to protect the human rights of its citizens, will However, many people do not want/reluctant to become witnesses, for the reason that there is no clear legal protection, especially for witnesses reporting criminal acts of corruption. The role of someone who reports actions around them, especially within the agency where they work, or what is known as a whistle blower is very important in efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia. Therefore, the whistle blowing system must continue to be improved starting from the rules and implementation. The approach method used in this research is normative juridical research, namely analyzing written law, library materials and document studies are used as the main material while field data through interviews is used as supporting/complementary data. Data Analysis, after all secondary data has been obtained through library research, as well as supporting data from interviews, examination and evaluation are carried out to determine its validity, then the data is grouped into similar data. Qualitative data is interpreted juridically, logically, systematically using deductive and inductive methods. Indonesians are still afraid to become whistle blowers, because there are many risks that must be faced, and are even difficult to avoid. Threats of demotion, suspension, even firing, will occur. In fact, reporting someone related to a corruption case to law enforcement officials could also be dangerous for him. Therefore, it is necessary to provide legal protection for whistle blowers so that people are not afraid to become whistle blowers.
Restrictions on Cross-Border Trade in E-Commerce as a Form of Consumer Protection
Authors: Prayuti Yuyut
Published: November 2023

Since the beginning of the third millennium era, the world of commerce has experienced a significant evolution with the emergence of e-commerce platforms. Bank Indonesia estimates that e-commerce transactions in 2022 will reach Rp489 trillion. Correspondingly, in Q3 2022, it was recorded that 62.6% of internet users over the age of 16 have used e-commerce platforms to purchase products and services online, increasing the potential for discrepancies between product descriptions and reality, as well as difficulties in returning products from abroad, resulting in financial losses and dissatisfaction for consumers. This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of cross-border trade restrictions in e-commerce as a consumer protection strategy in Indonesia. The normative juridical method is used in this research. The research found that restrictions on cross-border trade in e-commerce refer to various barriers and regulations applied by states to govern cross-border electronic commerce activities. These barriers include tariffs, taxes, quotas, product quality standards, certification, etiquette, as well as rules regarding consumer personal data and payment transactions. In addition, in the era of globalization, trading cross-border transactions has become routine, but carries legal and commercial risks for consumers transacting with entities outside their jurisdiction. Therefore, to respond to the escalation of cross-border trade in e-commerce platforms, Indonesia needs to emphasize data protection and security in digital transactions such as related to cryptographic techniques and privacy policies of e-commerce providers in order to provide certainty and legal protection in terms of protecting consumers.
The Legal Force of The Deed of Wills Regarding Undivided Community Property Which was Canceled Pursuant to State Court Ruling Number 43/PDT.G/2020/PN.MDN
Authors: Monica Pratiwi
Published: November 2023

A testamentary deed is the embodiment of a person's last wishes regarding the assets he or she leaves behind. The assets left behind can be inherited and joint assets. The will deed must pay attention to applicable legal rules. In its creation, the testamentary gift deed is closely related to the party authorized to make authentic deeds, namely the Notary profession. This research discusses the legal power of wills regarding joint assets that have not been divided. The problem discussed in this research is how the judge at the Medan District Court considers declaring a Will Deed whose object is joint property that has not been divided, and what are the legal consequences of canceling a Will whose object is joint property that has not been divided. In this case, it refers to the decision of the Medan District Court Number 43/Pdt.G/2020/PN.Mdn. The research method used is normative juridical, descriptive analytical, based on secondary data, through document study searches, with a qualitative approach. From the results of this research, the first conclusion that can be drawn is that the judge's consideration of Deed of Will Number 05 did not clearly take into account the existence of a mixture of assets between the Plaintiff and (the late) Leman as joint search assets with his wife, Mrs. Tan Bie Tju, even though nothing was created between the late Leman and Tan Bie Tju. "marriage agreement", so that the Plaintiff is entitled to ½ (half) of the joint assets. The legal consequences of canceling a Deed of Will whose object is joint property that has not been divided which is canceled by a judge's decision causes the loss of the binding force of the deed on the parties. Notaries should prioritize the principle of prudence by carrying out the obligation to carefully check all documents related to formal correctness before writing them down in the form of a deed.

The various molecular markers employed in breeding programs have been identified in the last decade of the 20th century. Molecular marker development has significantly altered genetics. Molecular markers are not only utilised in connecting diagrams, but often involved during genetic differences in cultivars and germplasm evaluations in various plant breeding applications. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) and marker-assisted selection (MAS) are among the most interesting molecular markers utilisation. This review primarily aims to offer the knowledge required for the survival of plants developed via new molecular marker techniques and genetic modification implementation in oil palm breeding. Research in palm breeding is critical to gain insights into oil palm growth.

Literasi keuangan tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kinerja UMKM disebabkan karena pelaku UMKM kurang memiliki kemampuan pengetahuan tentang literasi keuangan yang memandai. Variabel independen mampu memengaruhi variabel dependen Kinerja UMKM sebesar 15,8% sedangkan sisanya sebesar 84,2% dipengaruhi oleh variabel-variabel lain di luar model regresi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini.
