Published: October 2021

The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is produced commercially for biological control of insects and mites on crop plants around the world. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a diet of natural prey, Tetranychus turkestani Ugarov and Nikolskii (Acari: Tetranychidae), date palm pollen, or bee-collected pollen on A. swirskii development, reproduction, and life table parameters. Completely randomized, no-choice experiments were conducted in replicated experimental units, i.e., 3 x 3 cm plastic sheets inside Petri dishes. A life table analysis was also conducted. Results indicated that diet type did not affect A. swirskii preimaginal survival; it ranged from 97-100% on T. turkestani and both pollen diets. However, total development time was significantly shorter for A. swirskii females fed date palm pollen than T. turkestani or bee pollen. Adult females fed T. turkestani lived longer, had longer oviposition periods, and produced more eggs. The intrinsic rate of natural increase (0.396 d-1) was higher for A. swirskii fed date palm pollen than T. turkestani or bee pollen. The finite rate of increase, net reproductive rate, and gross reproductive rate did not differ significantly between A. swirskii fed date palm pollen or T. turkestani. Mean generation time (7.56 d) and population doubling time (1.043 d) were shorter for A. swirskii fed date palm pollen than T. turkestani or bee pollen. This study suggests that the T. turkestani diet or date palm pollen diet is suitable for A. swirskii. Date palm pollen has great potential as a cost effective diet to mass produce A. swirskii in the absence of natural prey. Future research could determine whether long-term rearing on date palm pollen reduces the ability of A. swirskii to locate, capture, and consume T. turkestani or other Tetranychus species on crop plants.

Published: October 2021

The tetranychid Tetranychus turkestani Ugarov and Nikolskii is a serious pest of many important crops around the world. Management of T. turkestani by augmentative biological control using predators such as the phytoseiid Amblyseius swirskii (Athias-Henriot) is envisioned as an environmentally safe alternative to acaricides. Foundational knowledge on T. turkestani – A. swirskii interactions in the laboratory are necessary to predict the outcome of A. swirskii augmentative releases in the field. In this study, the functional and numerical responses of adult A. swirskii females feeding on immature stages of T. turkestani were determined in the laboratory. Prey densities were 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 individuals per Petri dish arena. The functional response of A. swirskii to prey showed a Holling's type II response. The attack rate and handling time estimates from the random predator equation were 0.1148/h and 0.3146 h, respectively, indicating that A. swirskii consumed 76.28 individuals per day at the maximum level. The number of eggs laid by the predator, i.e., the numerical response, increased as host density increased up to a maximum of 33.10 eggs per female; then oviposition rate leveled-off. This study suggests that A. swirskii is a suitable candidate for augmentative biological control of T. turkestani but follow-up experiments in greenhouses or open fields are necessary.
The World Court of Human Rights Feasibility Study
Authors: Saktorová Lubica
Published: October 2021

The idea of the World Court of Human Rights was first envisioned in 1947 along with other institutions designed to create a system capable of the worldwide protection of individual human rights. The focus of the present study is to determine key issues of the prospective establishment of the World Court by an examination of its theoretical position among the United Nations bodies, regional and another inter-governmental human rights organisation. Analysis of the function and mechanisms of the current international human rights protection system would lead to deliberation on the prospective substantial and procedural competences of the World Court, the enforcement mechanism, jurisdiction and related benefits. The objective of the final part is to discuss challenges regarding its political and legal feasibility. Without the visionaries of the past, there would be no substantial system of human rights today. The World Court of Human Rights is a vision for the future.
What Benefits Does Transparent Lobbying Bring
Authors: Bednářová Pavla
Published: October 2021

Most quantitative studies deal with the costs of transparency lobbying and give little or no attention to quantifying the benefits. The aim of the article is to determine options for increasing lobbying transparency and their evaluation and comparison from the viewpoint of direct and indirect benefits. Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) isused. Five basic options are identified. Option I is the possibility of increasing the transparency of lobbying by measures introduced on lobbyists. Option II represents an increase of transparency in terms of lobbying targets. Option III is defined as an increase in lobbying transparency by means of sunshine principles and the increase of lobbying transparency by monitoring and sanctions is included in Option IV. All five options are evaluated from the perspective of realized direct and indirect benefits. The selection of the most suitable option will be carried out in relation with the presupposed incurred regulatory costs of lobbying transparency increase.
Global Competitiveness of Europe: A Robust Assessment
Authors: Fifeková Elena , Nežinský Eduard , Nemcová Edita
Published: October 2021

National (global) competitiveness became the central issue during the global crisis. Using the values of the three main subdimensions of the Global Competitiveness Index, we propose alternative DEA-based competitiveness indicators. In our approach, the index is nested in the more general measure of the competitiveness-given-performance indicator. We find that globally competitive European countries do not transform competitiveness into income per capita efficiently. Decomposition of the scores suggests that most of the relative inefficiency concentrates in innovation activity. The results proved robust against the CCR model used in previous research as well as principal component analysis.
Actuarial Neutrality and Financial Incentives for Early Retirement in the Austrian Pension System
Authors: Christl Michael , Kucsera Dénes
Published: October 2021

This paper takes a closer look at the existing early retirement schemes in Austria and analyses whether early retirement imposes a financial burden on the pension system (actuarial neutrality). Additionally, we compute incentive-neutral deductions for early retirement. These deductions reflect the view of the individual, who faces option of retiring earlier or working another year. Incentive neutral deductions would imply that an individual is indifferent between both. Our results highlight substantial differences between both measures. While the current deduction rate of 5.1% in the Austrian age corridor is, on average, close to actuarial neutrality, it is lower than the incentive-neutral deductions. This indicates that there are financial incentives for early retirement, which may arise due to the Austrian tax system. Additionally, we show that both actuarial and incentive neutrality differ substantially across socio-economic characteristics, such as gender, wages and (early) retirement age.
E-learning as an effective method in the prevention of patient falls
Authors: Horová Jana , Brabcová Iva , Bejvančická Petra
Published: October 2021

Objectives

Patient falls deteriorate patients’ functional condition and quality of life, and increase their treatment costs. E-learning is considered an effective way to gain knowledge and competencies for quality and safety in nursing practice. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an e-learning course for nurses in preventing in-patient falls.

Methods

The research design was mixed. In the first phase of the study, a five-year retrospective analysis of 2,280 in-patient falls was performed. Based on the analysis of risk factors for patient falls and group interviews with clinic managers an e-learning course was designed and completed by 250 nurses from five surgical and internal departments. The course’s effectiveness was evaluated based on the incidence of patient falls and the consequences of the falls before and after e-learning.

Results

At surgical departments, there was a statistically significant decrease in patient fall indices after the implementation of the e-learning course (from 4.4 to 2.6 falls per 1,000 patients; p=0.022). On the contrary, in internal departments, this index increased in the monitored period (from 19.0 to 26.9 falls per 1,000 patients; p=0.001). In all departments, there was a decrease in the incidence of patient injuries caused by falls after the implementation of the e-learning course; in internal medicine, this decrease was statistically significant (from 54.5% to 33.3%; p=0.014).

Conclusions

The study confirmed that e-learning forms of education for healthcare professionals have a positive effect in preventing patient falls.

Published: October 2021

This study reports the response of air layers of Phoebe cooperiana (Common name: Tapil) to different concentrations of rooting hormones in mid hills of Arunachal Pradesh. Ten trees between the ages of 7 and 10 were selected at Boleng village of Siang district, Arunachal Pradesh, India for the experiment. Eight treatments comprising of IBA and NAA at concentrations of 1000ppm, 2000ppm and 3000ppm each, Rootex hormone for semi-hardwood and control were applied to a total of 240 layers during April 2020. After 60 days, rooting percentage, mean number of roots and length of the longest root were recorded. Significant variation (p<0.05) among treatments was observed for all root parameters. Among treatments, the highest rooting percentage and mean a number of roots were obtained in layers treated with NAA 3000ppm (80% and 21.33 respectively). The length of the longest root was the highest in layers treated with NBA 2000ppm (4.23cm). The highest survival percentage of layers two months after transplanting was observed in those treated with NAA 3000ppm (54.16%) and the least in control (23.07%). The technique offers an easy and cheap method of propagation for farmers as well as for government and private agencies to enhance seedling production of the species.
Whose Inflation Expectations Best Predict Inflation?
Authors: Verbrugge Randal J. , Zaman Saeed
Published: October 2021

We examine the predictive relationship between various measures of inflation expectations and future inflation. We find that the expectations of professional economists and of businesses have tended to provide more accurate predictions of future inflation than the expectations of households and of financial market participants. However, the forecasts coming from a relatively simple and popular benchmark inflation forecasting model have historically been roughly as accurate as the expectations of businesses and professional economists.
"a distressing lack of regularity": New Zealand Architecture in the 1850s
Authors: McCarthy Christine
Published: October 2021

When Colonel Mould of the Royal Engineers at Auckland reported on behalf of the New Zealand Government on Mountfort's proposed accommodation for Governor Thomas Gore Browne, he queried the design's ability to be "lastingly pleasing to the eye," and identified the building's "distressing lack of regularity." This conference asks whether this phrase, describing Mould's discomfort with Mountfort's picturesque design, might also describe New Zealand's built environment in the 1850s more broadly as it negotiated architectural cultural exchanges, largely resulting from incoming British settlers' "flight from flunkeydom and formality." Philippa Mein Smith refers to a William Strutt drawing ("Settler putting out a chimney fire" (1855/1856)) to indicate its cultural hybridity ("the application of indigenous architecture - the whare, built from ponga logs - combined with elements of the English country cottage"), as well as "the power of the "pioneer legend," unpinned by the religious ideology of western commerce: "Pioneers tamed the land and, they believed, made it productive as God intended."
Speculations from 1850: being some thoughts on Rangiātea and the House of Tāmihana Te Rauparaha
Authors: Wood Peter
Published: October 2021

In March, 1852, the Wellington Independent reported its satisfaction at the sight of a drawing of the interior of Otaki Church, by Mr. C. D. Barraud. It declared the drawing a faithful representation of the church and its congregation that had been executed with "that taste and excellence we are led to expect from the pencil of so able an artist" ('[Untitled]" p 3). It concluded that the print would soon to be published - "in colours" – as it would make a beautiful, interesting and "novel" picture. This claim was added to a few days later in the New Zealand Spectator and Cook's Strait Guardian. Without irony they described the theologically themed depiction as being "spirited" as well as graphic. They go on to claim the "Native Church at Otaki" as one of the "lions" of the "settlement". Yet, for all that initial eagerness, Rangiātea would not go on to become a popular destination, and it has remained largely a picture of architecture. Indeed, even scholarly interest in it as an object of architecture does not appear in depth until the doctoral research of Sarah Treadwell, in the 1990s, who located the architectural significance of Rangiātea in a dialogue with the spatial and cultural patterns of the traditional Māori meeting house. In 2008 Treadwell reflected upon her PhD work with the admission that, in hindsight, her argument suffered the same kind of representational stability we can find in Barraud's rendition. The significance of Rangiātea as the singularly outstanding example of Māori building of the 1850s is uncontested, but Treadwell suggests that what we know and mean by historic "significance" – in his case history's preference for clear lines of origin and influence – are not to be depended upon as a stable discourse. I take that as an invitation to speculate on aspects of Rangiātea's influence and significance with a particular focus on a near neighbour in Ōtaki, the house of Tāmihana Te Rauparaha.
Transcriptional Analysis of TH2 Primed Dendritic Cells and T cells
Authors:   , Morgan Cynthia
Published: October 2021

Allergy is a condition affecting between 10 and 30% of the world’s population, with incidence rising every year. It is primarily mediated by THelper (TH) 0 cells reacting to an ordinarily harmless environmental antigen to induce an adaptive TH2 response. TH0 cells are presented the antigen by dendritic cells (DC), the immune systems most proficient antigen presenting cell, which act as the bridge between the innate and adaptive immune system. Dendritic cells specific to this study termed Triple Negative (TN) and CD11b+ are able to prime T cells to become TH2 cells, but current research has been unable to fully determine the proteins that mediate this TH2 priming. TN and CD11b+ DC exhibit transcriptional and functional distinction within the TH2 response, but the individual functions they take on during TH2 responses have not fully been determined. Some evidence suggests that the cell surface protein OX40L and the secreted protein TSLP are capable of inducing TH2 priming, but this is not conserved across all TH2 models. In an effort to determine other specific proteins that induce TH2 priming, RNA-sequencing has been utilized on TN and CD11b+ dendritic cells in TH2 inducing conditions. This thesis aims to analyse RNA-sequencing data generated from purified TH2 antigen positive TN and CD11b+ dendritic cells that have taken up a TH2-inducing stimulus – fluorescently labelled (AF488) non-viable Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. Due to the majority of DC-TH0 interactions occurring at the cell surface interface, the bioinformatic analysis was focused on genes belonging to the surface and secreted compartments.

Here I show that AF488-Nippostrongylus brasiliensis positive TN and CD11b+ DC are transcriptionally distinct from each other. Functional roles of differentially expressed genes (DEG) were also markedly distinct. Superfamily analysis revealed TN genes associated with signal transduction and proteases, whereas CD11b+ DEG were linked to cell adhesion and immune responses. This suggests that the different DC subsets have different roles in an immune response, and potentially different roles in the induction of TH2 immune responses. Network analysis of DEG from DC subsets and proteins expressed by TH0 and TH2 cell surfaces identified over 300 predicted interactions. Notably, 33 identified were known interactions – validating the bioinformatic methods used. Finally, I have been developing a method to assess novel interactions via flow cytometry methods that allows detection of binding and identification of the cell population that is bound. This has shown promise with the detection of generated proteins bound to TN and CD11b+ DC during TH2 stimulating conditions, paving the way for future novel interaction analyses.

In Bangladesh, riverbank erosion has turned into one of the most frequently occurring natural disasters, and it affects the socio-economic and livelihood status as well as the environment of the adjoining areas. Kirtankhola River in Barishal, is this kind of river. This study assesses the amount of erosion-accretion, examines river profile, detecting key anthropogenic factors behind it, and signifying channel shifting of the river within 10 years (from 2009 to 2019). The study used Landsat Satellite imageries, geospatial techniques, and a semi-structured questionnaire survey throughout the study area. The study showed that erosion dominants at the left bank of river (17.1 ha/year), whereas the accretion rate is higher at the right (19.72 ha/year). Besides, cross-section at selected points of the river providing an evident indication of the river widening thus river course shifting. According to 61% of the participants in the questionnaire, high waves generated through water vehicles are the main culprit for this extensive erosion. The number of launches has increased significantly within the studied time-period, and most of the launches run over 30 km/h velocity, where it should be less than 20km/h. The study explored a mechanism of how centrifugal force produced by water vehicles increases the intensity of riverbank erosion in the meandering area.

Published: October 2021

Self-compacting concretes (SCC), a new type of concrete, were realized with the development of polycarboxylate-based chemical additives. The interaction of these additives with the powder materials in the nano and micro scales affects the fresh and hardened properties of concrete in meso and macro scales. To change and improve the macro-dimensional properties of concrete, it is necessary to better analyze the nano-micro-dimensional interaction. The aim of this study is to examine the interactions of cement, mineral and chemical additives in micro scale. For this purpose, the zeta potential values of the mixtures consisting of cement, water, calcite and blast furnace slag prepared by using a polycarboxylate based plasticizer additive were analyzed. In addition, SEM analyzes of hardened samples were made on the 28th days.

El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a global phenomenon that drives local and regional climate variability. It also affects various sectors in daily life, including agriculture. Influence of El Niño is well documented in literatures and generally it gives detrimental effects on agriculture. But, our understanding on local impact to main crops in Langkat Regency, North Sumatra is limited. This study explored the influence of the 2015/16 El Niño in Langkat Regency particularly on local climate variability, and production of on rice, corn, and soybean. We used daily climate data for 1981-2016 combined with agricultural production for 2010-2016. The onset of rainy season was determined using climate data, and we divided the analysis based on the seasonal zone (ZOM). Then we statistically compared agricultural production of each main crops (rice, corn, soybean) annually to the annual mean production for 2010-2016. The results showed that El Niño shorten a wet season in 2015/16 for all ZOMs, with a decreased rainfall between 7% to 30% compared to the normal year.  In contrast, agricultural production had risen for 6%-16% due to human interventions during El Niño period. The interventions were comprised of two activities: the use of climate information for agricultural management and expansion of planting area.  The findings suggested that climate information will be benefit to society when it is properly used.

Pemilukada merupakan perwujudan kedaulatan rakyat yang dilaksanakan secara demokratis meskipun dalam prakteknya Pemilukada langsung justru dapat menimbulkan biaya tinggi. Sistem penyelenggaraan Pemilukada harus dijalankan secara demokratis agar efektifitas dan kepastian hukum terjamin dengan peran Kepala Daerah yang berkualitas dan mampu melakukan perubahan di bidang sosial, ekonomi, dan politik di wilayahnya. Penelitian yuridis normatif dengan metode pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konsep yang kemudian dianalisa secara deskriptif kualitatif. Sistem penyelenggaraan Pemilukada langsung tetap dipertahankan melalui pola asimetris dan/atau delegasi dengan memperhatikan tingkat kerawanan praktek politik uang dan tingkat kerawanan konflik horizontal di masing-masing daerah yang diatur oleh undang-undang. Implementasi pemilukada langsung ini perlu didukung dengan “pengadilan khusus” di setiap daerah untuk menangani sengketa Pemilukada dan penanganan tindak pidana pemilu guna terwujudnya kepastian hukum. Penelitian ini menyarankan perlunya rekonstruksi kebijakan pemilu daring serta dilakukan perubahan syarat pendidikan minimal sarjana, lulus uji publik yang dilaksanakan dari internal partai maupun uji publik oleh KPUD dengan melibatkan unsur masyarakat demi terpilihnya Kepala Daerah yang berkualitas.Pemilukada is a manifestation of people’s sovereignty which is implemented in a democratic manner, although it can cause high costs in practice. The Pemilukada implementation system must be implemented in a democratic manner so that the effectiveness and legal certainty is guaranteed by the role of a district head who is qualified and able to make changes in the social, economic, and political fields in spesific region. This normative juridical research uses a statutory and conceptual approachthen analyzed descriptively qualitatively. Pemilukada implementation system is maintained through an asymmetrical pattern and/or delegation by taking into account the level of vulnerability in money politics practices and the level of vulnerability to horizontal conflicts in each region as regulated by law. The implementation of this direct post-conflict local election needs to be supported by “special courts” in each region to handle election disputes and handling election crimes in order to realize legal certainty. This research suggests the need for online election policy reconstruction as well as changes to the minimum education requirements of undergraduate degrees, passing public tests carried out from internal parties as well as public tests by KPUD involving elements of society for the election of a quality regional head.
NIKAH SIRI DALAM PERSPEKTIF KOMPILASI HUKUM ISLAM DAN UNDANG-UNDANG PERKAWINAN INDONESIA

Published: October 2021

Nikah Siri merupakan pernikahan yang dilakukan dengan menggunakan ketentuan-ketentuan yang sudah digariskan dan ditentukan agama atau harus memenuhi syarat-syarat secara adat dengan memenuhi persyaratan-persyaratan yang ditentukan akan tetapi tidak dicatatkan, jadi pernikahan tersebut dianggap sah oleh sebagian masyarakat namun dianggap tidak sah oleh negara. Dalam penulisan ini penulis melakukan penelitian dengan tujuan agar diketahui persepsi hukum terhadap nikah siri dari sudut Kompilasi Hukum Islam dan Undang-Undang Perkawinan di Indonesia. Pendekatan dalam penulisan karya ilmiah ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan statute approach. Kompilasi Hukum Islam menyebutkan nikah siri adalah nikah yang tidak sah, disini akan lebih jelas lagi bagaimana aturan hukum yang ada bisa menjadi tidak sama dengan pemahaman yang ada di masyarakat. Faktor personal antara lain karakteristik masyarakat dalam memahami nikah siri yang dijadikan sebagai alasan pembenar, sedangkan faktor tingkat kesadaran hukum yaitu tingkat pemahaman hukum masyarakat dan aturan yang ada dan berlaku di Indonesia khususnya UU Nomor 1 Tahun 1974 serta KHI kurang begitu diperhatikan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah pemahaman konsekuensi hukum yang ditimbulkan dari nikah siri ditunjukkan dengan adanya kasus yang terjadi pada nikah siri ini.Siri marriage is a marriage that is carried out using conditions that have been outlined and determined by religion or must meet customary requirements by fulfilling specified conditions but are not enforced, so the marriage is dependent on a part of society but is not legal by the state. The writing of this research conducted research with the aim of knowing the legal perceptions of unregistered marriage from the perspective of Compilation of Islamic Law and the Marriage Law in Indonesia. The approach in this scientific paper is carried out using a statutory approach. The Compilation of Islamic Law states that unregistered marriage is illegitimate marriage. Personal factors are another reason for the community to understand unregistered marriage which is used as a justifying awareness factor, while the level of legal awareness, namely the level of understanding of community law and existing and applicable rules in Indonesia, especially Law Number 1 of 1974 and KHI was not given much attention. The result of this research is an understanding of the legal consequences of marriage as indicated by the cases that occur in this unregistered marriage.

Published: October 2021

Perlindungan hukum bagi tenaga medis saat ini menjadi masalah serius karena banyaknya tenaga medis yang meninggal dunia akibat terinfeksi Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). Pemerintah dan pihak rumah sakit memiliki tanggung jawab hukum atas keselamatan tenaga medis. Pemerintah mencoba melakukan tindakan pemerintah (bestuurshandeling) maupun tindakan pengaturan melalui berbagai kebijakan baik melalui Pemerintah Peraturan, Peraturan Menteri, dan Surat Edaran. Rumah sakit mencoba melakukan pertanggungjawaban melalui perubahan tata kelola pelayanan. Dalam pelaksanaannya, tanggung jawab pemerintah dalam tindakan maupun regulasi masih tumpang tindih karena belum adanya peraturan yang secara khusus mengatur tentang mekanisme perlindungan tenaga medis serta kurangnya peran Komite Medik dan SPI dalam pengawasan mekanisme pertanggungjawaban oleh rumah sakit. Penelitian yuridis normatif ini menyarankan perlunya peraturan baru yang khusus mengatur tentang perlindungan tenaga medis dalam pelaksanaan pekerjaannya, optimalisasi peran komite medik melalui pembaharuan peraturan internal sebagai acuan dan kontrol bagi tenaga medis, jaminan kecelakaan kerja bagi tenaga medis dalam hubungan kerjanya dengan pihak rumah sakit.Legal protection for medical personnel is a serious problem because many medical personnel have died due to being infected with Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19). The government and hospitals have a legal responsibility for the safety of medical personnel. The government tries to take government action (bestuurshandeling) as well as regulatory actions through various policies, both through Government Regulations, Ministerial Regulations and Circulars. Hospitals try to carry out accountability through changes in service governance. In practice, the government’s responsibilities in actions and regulations still overlap because there are no regulations that specifically regulate the mechanism for protecting medical personnel and the lack of the role of the Medical Committee and SPI in monitoring the accountability mechanism by hospitals. This normative juridical research suggests the need for new regulations that specifically regulate the protection of medical personnel in carrying out their work, optimizing the role of the medical committee through updating internal regulations as a reference and control for medical personnel, work accident insurance for medical personnel in their working relationship with the hospital.

Akses perumahan yang layak merupakan kebutuhan mendasar manusia yang dilindungi oleh Pasal 28H ayat (1) UUD Tahun 1945. Permasalahannya adalah tidak setiap orang memiliki akses terhadap pembiayaan untuk memperoleh rumah. Ketimpangan kondisi tersebut utamanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor pendapatan yang tidak merata. Pemerintah telah mengeluarkan Undang-Undang Nomor 4 Tahun 2016 tentang Tabungan Perumahan yang ditindaklanjuti dengan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 25 Tahun 2020 tentang Penyelenggaraan Tabungan Perumahan Rakyat walaupun peraturan tersebut menimbulkan sejumlah permasalahan selama masa pandemi Covid-19 yakni besaran iuran yang memberatkan pekerja dan pengusaha serta konflik norma dan ketidaksesuaian dengan pedoman pembentukan undang-undang. Penelitian yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan sinkronisasi hukum vertikal dan horizontal ini memperoleh hasil bahwa PP Tapera yang ditetapkan di masa pandemi Covid-19 mengandung cacat formil dan materiil dalam pembentukannya khususnya terhadap asas-asas dan norma yang diatur dalam PP Tapera tersebut. Program tabungan perumahan rakyat di masa pandemi Covid-19 yang memberatkan masyarakat juga inkonsisten terhadap penerapan hukum progresif yang seharusnya mengarahkan aturan hukum untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat dan bukan sebaliknya. Penelitian ini menyarakankan agar Pemerintah perlu merevisi kebijakan serta mensosialisasikan keberadaan tabungan perumahan rakyat kepada masyarakat agar tercipta kesepahaman antara para pihak.Access to adequate housing is a basic human need that is protected by Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The problem is that not everyone has access to finance to bought a house. Inequality conditions are mainly influenced by the factor of unequal income. The government has issued Act No. 4 of 2016 and the Government Regulation No. 25 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of Public Housing Savings although this regulation caused problems during the Covid-19 Pandemic, namely the amount of contributions that burdened workers and employers as well as conflicting norms and non-compliance with the guidelines for the formation of the law. This normative juridical research with a vertical and horizontal legal synchronization approach obtained the results that the PP Tapera which was stipulated during the Covid-19 pandemic contained formal and material defects in its formation, especially regarding the principles and norms regulated in the PP Tapera. The public housing savings program during the Covid-19 pandemic which burdened the community was also inconsistent with the application of progressive law which should direct the rule of law to meet the needs of the community and not the other way around. This research suggests that the government needs to revise its policies and socialize the existence of public housing savings to the public in order to create an understanding between the parties.

Published: October 2021

Currently, human operators provide cognition in a radar system. However, advances in the “digitization” of radar front-ends, including digital arbitrary waveform generators (AWG) and advanced high performance embedded computing (HPEC) make it possible to vary all key radar parameters (power, pulse length, number of pulses, pulse repetition frequency (PRF), modulation, frequency, polarization) on a pulse-by-pulse basis within ns or ms and over a wide operating range. This timescale is much faster than the decision-making ability of a human operator. The cognitive-inspired techniques in radar, that are intensively developing last years, mimic elements of human cognition and the use of external knowledge to use the available system resources in an optimal way for the current goal and environment. Radar systems based on the perception-action cycle of cognition that senses the environment, learns relevant information from it about the target and the background and then adapts the radar to optimally satisfy the needs of the mission according to a desired goal are called cognitive radars. In the article, recent ideas and applications of cognitive radars were analyzed.

Psychiatrische Kurz-Psychotherapie (PKP) der Depression ist eine leicht praktikable Anwendung evidenzbasierter Interventionen in Ambulanz und Praxis. Sprechstundenoder Therapiekarten führen durch die Behandlung, sodass diese auch in der psychiatrischen Sprechstunde oder in der Klinikvisite als systematisch fortgeführte individuelle Therapie eingesetzt werden kann, ohne dass das 50-Minuten-Setting der Richtlinientherapie erforderlich ist. Patienten und Therapeuten arbeiten gemeinsam und für beide transparent am Therapieziel. Beide behalten den Überblick. Mehrere Studien belegen die hohe Akzeptanz auf beiden Seiten, beim Patienten und Therapeuten.

Technological developments in the era of globalization have crept into the financial world. The high demand for people in financial matters makes financial technology grow rapidly. Community problems in meeting financing needs are increasingly needed so funding sources are needed. In practice, there are insufficient funding sources to help the community, the process is complicated and requires a long time to make peer to peer lending begin to be looked at by Indonesians who are looking for sources of funding. Legal norms in positive law and by type of library research. The conclusion of this research is that users must protect more in carrying out all activities that require financial technology, borrowing money, and in conducting peer to peer lending practices in order to guarantee legal certainty in accordance with the laws and regulations in force in Indonesia

The Constitutional Court responded to the existence of a debt collector who had been very unsettling by the Constitutional Court by issuing Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019 dated January 6, 2020. Based on the request for a judicial review of Law 42/1999 submitted by husband and wife Apriliani Dewi and Suri Agung Prabowo . Apriliani is a fiduciary who experiences direct losses as a result of creditors' withdrawal of the object of fiduciary security in the form of a car. Both applicants are declared to have legal standing in submitting a request for a judicial review. The Constitutional Court granted it with Decision Number 18/PUU-XVII/2019. In this decision, the execution mechanism for the fiduciary guarantee object was changed by the Constitutional Court as long as it was not provided voluntarily by the debtor. Previously, the Fiduciary Law allowed creditors to execute the object of fiduciary collateral themselves, but now to carry out the execution, creditors must submit an application to the District Court. However, the implementation of direct execution by the creditor without going through the District Court can be done if the debtor admits that there is a default or default in his agreement with the creditor.

Introduction. The use of highly toxic and highly hazardous components of liquid rocket fuel in silo-based intercontinental ballistic missiles makes it necessary to assure the health and epidemiological well-being of the population and environmental safety when eliminating silo launchers. The study aims to assess the chemical safety of the sites of silo launchers after their elimination by detonation and remediation of disturbed lands. Materials and methods. Samples of soil, water, vegetation were taken at 20 remedied sites of the former silo launchers of "single start" located in the Chelyabinsk region and the Altai Territory. These samples were analyzed in an accredited laboratory for the content of unsymmetrical dimethyl-hydrazine and its degradation products using certified photometric methods. Results. At the time of the survey in 2019, in 19 of 20 sites of former silo launchers, facts of unauthorized intrusion to the remedied sites were established in order to recover a scrap of non-ferrous and ferrous metals, building materials up to the depth of the location of the destroyed shafts of mine structures. In soil samples from 3 sites of silo launchers located in the Chelyabinsk region, asymmetric dimethyl-hydrazine was found in concentrations exceeding the MPC by 1.02 - 1.6 times. In water samples from open and water-flooded shafts of silo launchers, degradation products of unsymmetrical dimethyl-hydrazine were absent. Contamination of herbaceous and coniferous vegetation with asymmetric dimethyl-hydrazine at the surveyed sites has not been established. Conclusion. Soil contamination with asymmetric dimethyl-hydrazine at three remedied sites of 20 surveyed ones may be the result of their unauthorized opening. After the intrusion, the orphan sites of the silo launchers become objects of increased chemical hazard and environmental risk. Such things require carrying out nature restoration work, strengthening supervision over their technical, health and ecological condition.
The Emergence of Multilingual Education in India: Issues Related to Media of Instruction in Border Areas of Telangana Schools
Authors: Kothakonda Suman
Published: October 2021

My
main goal is to focus on the importance of multilingual education through translanguaging
pedagogies in Telangana schools especially in the areas of minority linguistic
communities. India is remarkably well-known for cultural and linguistic
diversity. In such a context, it is difficult to implement the right medium of
instruction in which the students’ home language is different from the school
language. Though there are many factors involved in delivering quality
education, language plays a significant role in teaching and learning across
the world. The majority of the schools encourage dominant language(s) in
teaching and learning in Indian states. As a result, students of non-dominant
language(s) are totally out of the classroom conversations and they slowly come
to know that their languages are less prestigious and not used in schools. This
leads them to show less interest in learning. Non-dominant language(s) are
pushed out of important domains and such languages are impoverished with
limited functions in India. In this paper, I discuss the complexity which lies
in providing the right media of instruction to heterogeneous students in Indian
classrooms and also explores the students’ language(s) proficiency levels in
two target languages. Finally, I explain some ways to develop students’
linguistic and cognitive skills in such a multilingual environment. Two schools
were, for this study, visited to understand the language(s) scenario in the Telangana
region. The data was collected from 15 students who were in the IX class.Apart
from this, we interacted with teachers to get their opinions on various topics
in relation to students’ language skills as well as multilingual education. Extensive individual interviews and long conversations were
conducted from classroom teachers in relation to students’ language skills in
three languages. The data was collected through a variety of sources in
order to illuminate multilingual education in Telangana schools. Oral and
written samples were collected from the participants in two languages L2 &
L3. In the process of data collection, each student performed spoken as well as
written tasks. Oral tasks consist of discussions, role-plays, and one
storytelling task based on the provided pictures. Written tasks consist of
reading, listening, and writing (vocabulary, grammar, and sentence meaning).
The result of the collected data reveals the proficiency levels of students in
L2 & L3. The empirical data, interviews, and conversations revealed the
significance of LI in schools at the right time.

Inisiasi Menyusui Dini ( IMD) adalah perilaku pencarian punting payudara ibu sesaatsetelah lahir. Hal ini sangat dibutuhkan, karena bayi setelah lahir langsung mendapatasupan gizi dari ASI. Pemberian ASI secara dini juga sangat bermanfaat bagiibu,terutama untuk merangsangkelancaran ASI. Program IMD merupakan programpendukung dari pemberian ASI Eksklusif pada bayi. IMD banyak memberikan manfaat bagi bayi di antaranya menurunkan angka kematianbayi karena hipotermi, mendapatkan antibodi dari kolostrum, menelan bakteri amanyang berkoloni di usus menyaingi bakteri patogen, membuat kadar glukosa bayi lebihbaik setelah beberapa jam setelah persalinan dan menurunkan intensitas ikterus karenapengeluaran mekonium yang lebih dini. DI dalam pelaksanaan IMD pun memili banyak faktor di antaranya yaitu: HubunganAntara Pengetahuan dengan Pelaksanaan Inisiasi Menyusu Dini , hubungan dengan sikap, dengan suami , dan juga hubungan dengan tenaga kesehatan .asi Menyusu DiniPemberian ASI secara eksklusif menurutDepKes (2003)Adalah pemberian ASI saja kepada bayi Tanpa di beri makanan dan Minuman lainSejak dari lahir sampai usia 6 bulan, kecuali pemberian obat dan vitamin.Pemberian ASI eksklusif dapat dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor,antara lain yaitu; 1. faktor pemudah (predisposingfactors), yang mencakup pendidikan,pengetahuan, nilai-nilai adat atau budaya. 2. Faktor pendukung (enablingfactor), yang mencakup Pendapatan keluarga,ketersediaan3. waktu, dan kesehatan ibu. Faktor pendorong (reinforcementfactor), faktorfaktor ini meliputi dukungan keluarga danDukungan petugas kesehatan. Bayi yang tidak mendapatkan asi ekslusif selama berusia 6 bulan sejak kelahiranberesiko>3,94 kematian karena diare, beresiko terkena alergi, obesitas, diabetes,gangguan pernafasan, dan penyakit saluran pencernaan kronis. Kandugan gizi yang ada di dalam asi berbeda beda tergantung keadaan sepertiKandungan protein dalam asi cenderung meningkat dengam bertambahnya waktupenyimpanan. Kemudian, kandungan lemak dalam asi cenderung meningkat denganBertambahnya waktu karena aktivitas lipolisis. Aktivitas ini terjadi lebih cepat pada suhu25 derajat celcius atau suhu ruang dibanding pada suhu 15 derajat celcius atau lebihrendang. Sedangkan kandungan karbohidrat yang ada dalam asi cenderung menurunDengan bertambahnya waktu penyimpanan, karena lama penyimpanan mempengaruhipertumbuhan bakteri sehingga kandungan karbohidratnya rendah.
Increased child-evoked activation in the precuneus during facial affect recognition in mothers

Successful parenting requires constant inferring of affective states. Especially vital is the correct identification of facial affect. Previous studies have shown that infant faces are processed preferentially compared to adult faces both on the behavioural and the neural level. This study aims to specifically investigate the child-evoked neural responses to affective faces and their modulation by motherhood and attention to affect. To do so, we used a paradigm to measure neural responses during both explicit and implicit facial affect recognition in mothers and non-mothers using child and adult faces. Increased activation to child as compared to adult faces was found for mothers and non-mothers in face processing areas (bilateral fusiform gyri) and areas associated with social understanding (bilateral insulae and medial superior frontal gyrus) when pooling implicit and explicit affect recognition. This child-evoked activation was modulated by motherhood with an increase in mothers as compared to non-mothers in the left precuneus. Additionally, explicitly recognising the affect led to increased child-evoked activation in the medial superior frontal gyrus as in both mothers and non-mothers. These results suggest preferential treatment of affective child over adult faces, which is modulated by motherhood and attention to affect.
