Abstract
BACKGROUND : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) secondary to systemic hypertension (HTN) may be associated with left atrial (LA) functional abnormalities. We aimed to characterize LA mechanics in HCM and HTN and determine any correlation with the extent of fibrosis measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in HCM patients. METHODS: Two-dimensional speckle tracking-derived longitudinal LA function was acquired from apical views in 60 HCM patients, 60 HTN patients, and 34 age-matched controls. HCM patients also underwent CMR, with measurement of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) extension. Association with LA strain parameters was analyzed. RESULTS: The mean LV ejection fraction did not differ across groups. The E/e’ ratio was only preserved in the control group and significantly impaired in the HCM group. LA mechanics were significantly reduced in HCM, compared to the HTN group. LA strain rate in systole (LA-SRs) and late diastole (LA-SRa) were the best discriminators of HCM, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.8, followed by LA strain in systole (LA ɛsys) (AUC 0.76). LA-SRs and LA-SRa had high specificity (89% and 91%, respectively) and LA ɛsys had sensitivity of 80%. LA strain rate in early diastole (LA-SRe) was moderately correlated with the extension of LGE (r 2 0.42, p=0.027) CONCLUSIONS: LA-SRs and LA-SRa were the best discriminators for LVH secondary to HCM. LA-SRe was best correlated with the degree of fibrosis assessed by CMR. These findings suggest that LA mechanics can be potential predictors of disease severity in HCM.

AbstractWater is the most important limiting factor of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping systems in semi-arid conditions of Southern Punjab. A two-year field experiment (comprising of cotton-wheat cropping) was conducted in Vehari (Southern Punjab) to calibrate and validate a DSSAT model in the climatic conditions of 1 × CO2 concentration (conc.) (current). The model simulation during calibration was good with errors up to 4.7, 4.4, 10.1, 6.4 and −5.4% for days to anthesis, days to maturity, total dry matter, yield and HI, respectively for the cotton-wheat cropping system. During model validation, the error percentages were also under reasonable limits. So, the model was run under 2 × CO2 conc. (future) conditions and it showed a difference of −7.3 to 19.7% anthesis days, maturity days, total dry matter, grain yield, crop ET and WUEGY with respect to current CO2 concentration. Simulation by DSSAT showed that the cotton cultivar MNH-886 and wheat cultivar Lassani-2008 were better utilizers of limited water resources under changed climatic conditions in semi-arid conditions of Vehari, which was due to their better water use efficiency. Wheat and cotton cultivars with high water use efficiency would enable crop growth to maintain high crop yields under increased CO2 and its associated consequences in future.

Bu
çalışma, Horasan’daki Hanefîlik-Mu'tezile etkileşiminin ilk örneklerini
şahıslar üzerinde derinleşme prensibi ekseninde ele almaktadır. Bunun için de
dönemin genel yapısından ziyade bireysel örnekler üzerinde durulmuştur. Ebû
Nasr Muhammed b. Sehl (ö.388/998), bu
yapının bölgedeki ilk tezahürlerini anlayabilmek için örneklem olarak
seçilmiştir. Hanefîlik-Mu'tezile etkileşimin Irak dışındaki ilk tezahürlerinden
biri olan Ebû Nasr Muhammed b. Sehl Horasan’da ve Irak bölgesinde önemli bir
ilmî nüfuza sahip olup, Mu'tezilî tabakatlarda i'tizâl fikrini benimseyen
fukaha içerisinde sayılmaktadır. Uzun müddet Nişabur bölgesinde eğitim
meclislerini yönlendiren Ebû Nasr, burada mütekellim kimlikleri öne çıkan ve
Cüşemî’nin de hocası konumunda olan bazı şahısların ilim hayatında etkili olmuş
ve bu şahıslar tarafından iltifata tabi tutulmuştur. Ayrıca o Irak’taki
Hanefî-Mu'tezilî şahıslar nezdinde de tanınmakta, Ebû Abdullah es-Saymerî ve
Ebû’l-Kâsım et-Tenûhî gibi Irak Hanefîliği içerisindeki şahısların ondan ilim
tahsil ettiği rivayet edilmektedir. Ebû Nasr’ın Büveyhiler döneminde Mu'tezilî
şahıslar lehine uygulamalarda bulunan vezir Sahib b. Abbad’ın (ö.385/995)
meclislerinde yer alması ve Samanîler döneminde görev aldığının kaydedilmesi de
Hanefî-Mu'tezilî kimliği açısından dikkat çekicidir. Bu sebeple Ebû Nasr
Muhammed b. Sehl’in etrafında gelişen ilmî, siyasî zeminin araştırılması ile
Hanefîlik-Mu'tezile etkileşiminin Horasan’daki ilk tezahürlerin aydınlatılması
amaçlanmaktadır.

Psychological Capital and Robotic Process Automation: Good, Bad, or Somewhere In-Between?
Authors: Harris Megan , Riley Jennifer , Venkatesh Roopa 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
Our proposed study applies Psychological Capital (PsyCap) to the Industry 4.0 literature, and specifically, to Robotic Process Automation (RPA). We examine two issues: are accountants ready for the changes brought about by RPA, and will accountants overrely on RPA to provide accurate information? PsyCap is a core construct that encompasses four dimensions of an individual's mental state. Drawn from positive psychology, it focuses on individuals' strengths, rather than weaknesses. We expect higher levels of PsyCap will be associated with higher levels of readiness for and reliance on RPA. This could be dangerous, because the output of RPA may not always be reliable. We propose a quasi-experiment to gather data from accountants. Understanding the relationship between PsyCap and behavior is important because PsyCap is a state-like construct, which can be developed and strengthened. Accounting firms and organizations can implement mechanisms to encourage readiness for RPA but discourage overreliance without assurance.
PEMBUATAN ALAT PENJERNIH AIR MENGGUNAKAN ARANG SEKAM PADI DI KAMPUNG YUDHA KARYA JITU KECAMATAN RAWA JITU SELATAN KABUPATEN TULANG BAWANG PROPINSI LAMPUNG

Bagi warga desa Yudha Karya Jitu, air bersih merupakan kebutuhan yang tak ternilai harganya. Karena untuk mendapatkan air bersih mereka harus membeli dengan harga Rp.100.000 per 1 m3 yang didatangkan dari daerah lain yang berjarak sekitar 20 km dari desa tersebut. Desa Yudha Karya Jitu merupakan salah satu desa yang ada di kecamatan Rawa Jitu Timur kabupaten Tulang Bawang propinsi Lampung. Desa tersebut merupakan salah satu daftar desa pada Kawasan Perdesaan Prioritas Nasional (KPPN). Kawasan perdesaan ini dibentuk guna mengurangi kesenjangan antara desa dan kota. Prinsipnya dengan membangun desa-desa mandiri serta membangun keterkaitan ekonomi lokal antara
desa dan kota. (Humas, 2018)Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, maka perlu adanya alat penjernihan air menggunakan bahan yang mudah didapat (Artiyani, 2016). Bahan yang mudah didapat diantaranya adalah sekam padi, pasir,batu kerikil dan ijuk (Adi, 2014). Tujuannya agar masyarakat lebih antusias untuk membuat sendiri, karena bahan yang digunakan ada disekitar mereka. Apalagi sebagian lahan desa tersebut ditanami padi, sehingga sekam yang dihasilkan dari alat penggiling padi bisa dimanfaatkan untuk penjernihan air secara alam i. Berbeda dengan penjernihan air menggunakan teknik kimia, teknik alami lebih disukai oleh masyarakat karena biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk membuat alat lebih murah. Dari hasil penjernihan yang telah dilakukan, terlihat jelas perbedaan tingkat kejernihan air sebelum dan sesudah dilakukan.

Authors: Mardiana Mardiana 
Published: October 2019

Kelompok Sadar Wisata (Pokdarwis) Cinta Bahari dibentuk oleh aparat Desa Pulau Pahawang Lampung sejak tahun 2013. Akan tetapi rendahnya tingkat pendidikan anggota Pokdarwis membuat mereka sangat sulit untuk dapat mengembangkan potensi wisata pulau Pahawang. Pada tahun 2017, promosi wisata sudah dilakukan menggunakan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) dalam bentuk mobile application CintaBahari yang dikembangkan pada kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM) sebelumnya. Namun demikian masalah promosi ini masih harus terus ditingkatkan dan berkelanjutan, sehingga jumlah kunjungan wisatawan yang diperoleh dapat lebih maksimal. Solusi yang ditawarkan oleh Tim PKM ini adalah mengembangkan media promosi dengan menggunakan teknologi Augmented Reality (AR) yang menggambarkan objek wisata Pahawang secara real yang dikemas secara menarik dan atraktif. Teknologi AR dapat menggabungkan benda maya dua dimensi atau tiga dimensi ke dalam sebuah lingkungan nyata tiga dimensi lalu memproyeksikan benda-benda maya tersebut dalam waktu nyata. Selain itu, Tim PKM ini juga memberikan sosialisasi tentang penggunaan aplikasi AR tersebut dan pembagian poster dengan konten AR kepada masyarakat sebagai sarana mereka memberikan promosi kepada wisatawan yang datang. Metoda yang digunakan dalam pembangunan aplikasi menggunakan metode iterative development yang disebut dengan Rapid Application Development (RAD) dengan tahapan : identifikasi masalah dan motivasi, menetapkan objek solusi, penerapan solusi dan pelatihan serta pelaporan hasil dan publikasi. Adanya aplikasi AR ini diharapkan dapat membuat peningkatan potensi wisatawan yang datang dan kembali datang lagi ke Pulau Pahawang melalui ketersediaan informasi yang lengkap dan menarik dalam bentuk AR. Sehingga secara langsung akan berdampak pada peningkatan pendapatan pokdarwis dan masyarakat Desa Pulau Pahawang pada umumnya.

Maritime Security and the Role of Coast Guards: The Case of Finland and the Åland Islands’ Demilitarisation
Authors: Gustafsson Åsa 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The measures and policies states adopt and apply related to law enforcement at sea in peacetime, such as setting up and legislating about Coast Guards and their role, increasingly take maritime security into account. A grey area between military and civilian rules, actors, and activities, can be discerned in relation to maritime security. The article explores the issue of security concerns as a basis for the on-going widening of powers of the Finnish Border Guard, which includes the Coast Guard – in particular how such a widening of the powers relates to the Åland Islands’ demilitarised status. The main question here is whether there is a conflict between possible military aspects of the Coast Guard vis-à-vis the demilitarised status of the Åland Islands. The article identifies aspects of a military nature regarding how the Finnish Coast Guard functions; these are not assessed as being decisive: the Border Guard is not part of the armed forces in peacetime. The article highlights the need for a comprehensive exploration and analysis – including both Finnish authorities and Ålandic authorities – of the Åland Islands’ status in relation to possible future assistance by the Defence Forces on the Åland Islands.

Published: October 2019

Abstract
The article sets out the results of a research of the criminogenic potential capacity of cigarette smuggling. The article provides an analysis of the criminological connotation of the criminogenic potential capacity of tobacco products smuggling and presents the characteristics of the Ukrainian peculiarities of this pan-European problem. The article presents a view of the dynamics and geographical features of countering cigarette smuggling in Europe, regarding the use of FRONTEX (European Border and Coast Guard Agency) and the national border authorities. The article conveys the nature and consequences of the interrelation of cigarette smuggling and cross-border crime, and it identifies the ways to counteract this phenomenon in the context of the harmonization of the policies of different countries and the EU in the relevant sphere. Additionally, the article covers the reasons for the legislative trends in the criminalization of the excisable goods smuggling.
Judicial Review of Discretionary Powers in the Activity of Historical Monuments Protection Bodies in the Polish Legal System
Authors: Parchomiuk Jerzy 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
The sovereign nature of the forms of operation of cultural heritage protection authorities, the polarization between the individual interest and the public interest, discretion margin in the activities of the authorities – all these elements create a kind of “explosive mixture”, which is the source of the legal disputes between the owners of historical monuments and historical monuments protection bodies. The key element of the guarantee of individual freedom is the judicial review of public administration. Therefore, it is a matter of dispute to which extent the public administration is subject to judicial review when performing the tasks entrusted. The aim of this article is to show how Polish administrative courts approach the problem. What methodology of the review of discretion margin do they use? How do they solve the dilemma: who makes the final decision – the body or the court? Do they retain judicial self-restraint or are they ready and willing to interfere in the merits of the decision?
The Brexit Fiasco and the Failure of Article 50 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
Authors: Kovac Mitja 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Modern game theory and the economic theory of federalism may offer an alternative view on the Brexit fiasco, in which the British government should not bear exclusive responsibility for current disaster. Moreover, the design of Article 50 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) contains an intrinsic dysfunctional mechanism that generates irrational strategies. Article 50 is underdeveloped and should be redrafted. The two-year deadline provision should be replaced with a reasonable time period and should provide for a third-party dispute resolution mechanism in instances where free negotiations between the EU and the withdrawing Member State in the reasonable time period fail to achieve a winwin solution. This article also argues that the current sub-optimal institutional framework on the vertical and horizontal division of competences might be an additional generator of Euroscepticism. In order to prevent the decline of public support the EU should do less in current fields and should do much more in fields where it failed to exercise its authority and which cannot be addressed effectively at the local levels. The EU should redesign itself as an institution that mitigates broad potential sources of negative externalities, reinforcing the rule of law, protecting liberal democracy with all related civil liberties, reinforcing its political-global dimension, protecting its common cultural heritage, and combating destructive nationalisms, isolationisms and cultural introspections.
