In office buildings, electrical energy is needed to meet the needs of lighting to electronic equipment used in the building. To support all of that, a reliable electrical installation system is needed so that all office activities can run well without causing significant problems. Therefore the planning of the electrical installation system in a building must refer to the applicable rules and regulations in accordance with PUIL and SNI.
The design carried out refers to PUIL 2011, SNI 03-6575-2001 (Lighting System Design Procedures). The entire electrical installation system gets a 3 Phase supply from PLN. The total power in this building is 80000 watts, so the power needed from PLN to connect is 160 KVA. Conductors used in this installation, use cables with NYM and NYY types with varying sizes in accordance with the calculation of the conveying CRC that has been done.

Published: November 2021

Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of pediatric calcaneus fractures treated in our hospital in terms of age, treatment techniques and trauma severity and to compare with the literature
Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted on 22 pediatric patients (28 calcaneus fractures) treated with surgery for calcaneus fractures in our hospital from March 2005 to January 2020. There were seven patients (patients between 3 and 6 years old) in group 1 and 15 patients (between 7 and 16 years old) in group 2.
Results: 17 fractures were treated with the CRPP technique, 11 fractures were treated with the ORIF technique. The mean age was 11.4 months (range 3–16). Average follow-up time 81.54 months (range 12-156). There is a significant relationship between age and CRPP(p:0.000), but not with ORIF(p:0.10). The most important result of our study is that there is no significant difference between AOFAS scores with CRPP and ORIF techniques (P: 0.167 and p: 0.20, respectively). The second most important result in our study was that there was a significant relationship between Essex Lopresti and Sanders classification to AOFAS score(p: 0.013 in both.).
Conclusion : Immature calcaneus fractures are rare, and those without anatomical reduction, as in adults, have poor results. In pediatric calcaneus fractures, fragmentation due to the severity of trauma, cartilage damage, cancellous bone loss and their consequence may cause circulatory disorders between the fracture parts. As a result, post-traumatic arthritis may develop even if anatomical reduction is made. The most important thing that determines the result in pediatric calcaneus fractures is how high energy the fracture occurs rather than the surgical technique to be chosen.
A reappraisal of the taxonomy of Neotropical Sialidae (Insecta: Megaloptera): with the description of a new genus from Cuba
Authors: Ardila-Camacho Adrian , Rivera-Gasperín Sara Lariza , Martins Caleb Califre , Contreras-Ramos Atilano 
Published: November 2021

The unique Neotropical species of the alderfly genus Protosialis van der Weele, 1909, P. bifasciata (Hagen, 1861), is herein transferred to the newly described genus Caribesialis gen. nov. This new taxon is proposed to be sister to the clade Protosialis + Sialis Latreille, 1802, after a phylogenetic analysis that included male genital characters scored on a previous morphological matrix of the family. Also, Ilyobius nigrocephalus sp. nov., a remarkable new species from Ecuador, is described and its phylogenetic position is discussed. Furthermore, Ilyobius bimaculatus (Banks, 1920) from Bolivia, known solely from the female holotype, is redescribed. Based on the present study, the Neotropical fauna of Sialidae is proposed to be constituted by two genera, one insular (Cuba) and one continental (Mexico to Chile and Argentina).
Sur la présence en France de Trocheta taunensis Grosser, 2015 (Hirudinida, Erpobdellidae)
Authors: LECAPLAIN Benoît 
Published: November 2021

Depuis les années 1950, une espèce de sangsue du genre Trocheta est citée de France et désignée comme Trocheta bykowskii Gedroyć, 1913. Des travaux de Košel en 2004 puis de Grosser en 2015 sur les populations de l’est de l’Europe ont permis de mieux connaître la taxonomie de ce taxon qui s’est avéré être un synonyme junior de Trocheta cylindrica Örley, 1886. Cette espèce, dont la répartition est restreinte aux Carpates, n’est de fait pas présente en Europe de l’Ouest. L’espèce unicolore désignée comme bykowskii à l’ouest de l’Europe a été récemment décrite sous le nom de Trocheta taunensis Grosser, 2015. Cet article montre que les exemplaires français sont à rattacher à cette sangsue.

Authors: Hussain Masaraf , Khonglah Yookarin , Sharma S. R. , Synmon Baia , Hynniewta Yasmeen 
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Aspirin is widely used for the treatment of stroke. Therefore aspirin resistance can lead to a significant increase in the burden of stroke. Platelet aggregation studies can evaluate platelet function, and this may help to detect anti-platelet resistance.
Methods: This is a hospital-based study of the antiplatelet effect of aspirin in ischemic stroke, during a duration of one year.
All first-time ischemic stroke patients >18 years of age were included. Platelet aggregometry test was done by LTA (Light transmission optical aggregometer), after starting the patients on oral aspirin.
Results: A total of 113 ischemic stroke patients were included for the antiplatelet effect of the aspirin study. Aspirin resistance was found in 18.58% of patients. Patients with aspirin resistance had higher mortality, and less improvement on follow-up, as compared to aspirin-sensitive patients. They had more incidence of smoking, alcohol abuse, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, as compared to the aspirin-sensitive group. The results reveal that there is a non-statistically significant trend in both mortality and prognosis between the two study groups compared: aspirin-resistant versus aspirin-sensitive patients.
Conclusion: Aspirin resistance can lead to loss of functional improvement and more mortality than aspirin-sensitive patients. However, further study for drug interactions, adequate risk factor control, the genetic profile of the population is needed, to come to a definite conclusion.

Published: November 2021

Background: Agriculture is an activity that provides more than 70% of employment in sub-Saharan African countries. However, climate variability has significant negative impacts on agricultural productivity, particularly in countries such as Benin that are highly dependent on rainfall. The objective of this research is to highlight the different perceptions and endogenous strategies of adaptation to climate variability adopted by farmers. It took place in Benin's largest cotton production area, the commune of Banikoara located in the northern region of the country.
Methodology: The surveys were conducted on a sample of 120 farmers randomly selected in four (4) villages, all of which are large agricultural producers, i.e. 30 farmers per village. In addition to descriptive statistics based on the calculation of proportions and averages, a multivariate probit model was estimated in order to identify the factors that influence the choice of endogenous adaptation strategies to climate variability.
Results: Approximately 50% of the respondents stated that they had practiced early seeding in order to cope with the consequences of climatic variability, 38% stated that they practiced ridge tillage, 28% indicated that they practiced late seeding while 15% declared that they practiced agroforestry. The results show that farmers use different combinations of endogenous strategies to drastically mitigate the adverse consequences of climate variability. Each farmer takes a number of parameters into account when defining the strategy to adopt.

Authors: Demelash Belaynew Mesfin 
Published: November 2021

This study addressed the efforts exerted on the implementation of decentralization management system employed a few years ago in a governmental institution. More specifically, this study attempted to assess the perceptions employees hold about the decentralization package, their decision-making practices and correlations among participants’ perception, decision-making practices and provision of resources. To this end, of one hundred and fifty employees, fifty of Debre Tabore Municipality administrative, in Amhara regional state, were selected in a mix of systematic and stratified sampling technique. Likert scale and frequency count itemized questionnaire administered and forty-eight sheets of questionnaire were returned filled in. The major findings showed that participants had a reasonable level of awareness on the positive roles of decentralization, considerable level of decision-making practices and some degree of perceived provisions of resources or support. Besides, there seemed to have positive relationships among the participants’ perceptions about municipality decentralization, input provision and practice of decision making. small but positive correlations among perceptions. A mere degree of variations of responses to the perceptions and practices of decentralization were also seen due to background differences in gender, position and work experiences. In light of the results, the decentralization could be implemented with a more focus of employees’ concern on resource provisions and shared commitment.
