Menimbang Kewenangan DPR dalam Penggunaan Hak Angket Pada Kasus Korupsi KTP Elektornik
Authors: Firdaus Fahmi Ramadhan , Anggono Bayu Dwi 
Published: May 2019

In Indonesia, the control function of the House of Representatives (DPR) includes interpellation rights, inquiry rights and the right to express opinions. In 2017, the DPR's inquiry rights to the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) were considered unconstitutional because the law did not include the KPK as the object of the inquiry mechanism. However, the Constitutional Court (MK) in Decision Number 36 / PUU-XV / 2017 defined KPK as an executive so that this institution can be monitored through the inquiry mechanism. This court's decision, however, contradicts to the four previous decisions which classified KPK as an independent institution. This article examines the validity of the DPR's inquiry rights to the KPK by considering the DPR's inquiry rights as a form of a mechanism for mutual checks and balances to the other state institutions. In practice, there are both formal and material rules that must be fulfilled so that their implementation is legally valid and the DPR's inquiry rights to the KPK in cases of the electronic KTP corruption ignore these conditions. This article recommends that the DPR be careful when using inquiry rights as a monitoring mechanism.

Nagyvenyim-Munkácsy utca – Fűzfa utca lelőhely avar kori embertani leletei
Authors: RÁCZ Piroska 
Published: May 2019

At Nagyvenyim-Munkácsy utca – Fűzfa utca site skeletal remains of 22 individuals from the Avar period were unearthed. Metrical and pathological analysis were carried out on the badly preserved material. Despite of its few cases and bad preservation the sample from Nagyvenyim is an important contribution to the Avar period population on Mezőföld, as there is only one anthropological review from this period in the region by this time (Wenger’s report about the sample from Előszállás-Bajcsihegy in 1966 and 1967).
Comparing the sample of Nagyvenyim-Munkácsy utca – Fűzfa utca with Előszállás-Bajcsihegy there is a notable difference in their stature, and this fact is very interesting as the two sites are closed to each other. The fragmented small sample from Nagyvenyim does not allow us considerable conclusions, but examination of further samples will give more reliable information about the Avar period population of Mezőföld.

Teachers are role models for their students by their exemplary lifestyle. A program was started at Primary and Pre-School Education Faculty, Eötvös Loránd University in 2013 for training more health-conscious teachers.
In 2013–2014, 461 female students (aged 18–25 years) were examined by InBody 720 body composition analyzer and blood pressure analyzer (Omron M1 Compact). Questionnaires were used to collect data on chronic illnesses appearing in their families, their psychosomatic symptoms, about their lifestyle and physical activity habits.
Nearly half of students had prehypertensional blood pressure. The majority had normal nutritional status, 18% of them were overweight or obese and 10% were underweight. Most critical lifestyle issue was the lack of physical activity: the 63% of students did not do any sports. Significant correlation was found between regular sport activity and pulse rate: those doing regular exercise had lower pulse rates. Students with higher body mass index and body fat proportion had higher blood pressure, students that smoke had higher pulse rates.
Objective examinations and personal consultancy can influence the lifestyle of students.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The burden of bloodstream infection and antibiotic resistance in intensive care unit (ICU) is high when compared with other settings. The data on the changing antibiotic resistance trends are important for infection control activities. There is no sufficient data in the intensive care units of this hospital.
Objective: The aims of this study were to assess the magnitude and risk factors of bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic resistance patterns of blood culture isolates from ICU patients at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Gondar, Ethiopia.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2018.Blood specimen were collected from 384 patients and inoculated on appropriate culture media. Identification of bacterial pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility tests were performed using bacteriological standard methods. Presence of Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) enzymes was confirmed by combined disk diffusion method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.
Result: Of the total 384 study participants, 96(25%) were culture positive. Majority of bacteria isolates 67(69.8%) were Gram negative. The commonly isolated bacterial species were K.pneumoniae 18(18.8%), Coagulase negative Staphylococcus 13(13.5%), K.ozanae 10(10.4%), K.rhinose 8(8.3%) and E.coli, E.cloacae, Citrobacter species, S.aureus each accounts 7(7.3%). Gram negative isolates were found to be resistant to ampicillin 66(98%), amoxicillin/clavulanate 64(95%) and ceftriaxone 52(77.6%). However, amikacin 64(95.5%), meropenem 58(87%) and Ciprofloxacin 56(83.6%) were relatively effective drugs. Gram positive isolates were found to be resistant to Penicillin 28(96.5%), amoxicillin/clavulanate27 (93.1%) and erythromycin 26(90%). They were sensitive to ciprofloxacin 22(79%) and clindamycin 24(83%). Methicillin resistant S.aureus accounted 4(57.1%) and ESBL enzyme producing Gram negative isolates accounted 41(78.8%).
Conclusion: Klebsiella species were the predominant bacterial isolates in ICU settings. Antibiotic resistance due to ESBL enzyme production is alarmingly high. This result might be a reflection of inappropriate use of antibiotics and poor infection prevention control practice in these settings.
Key words: Antibiotic resistance, ICU, ESBL, Gondar Ethiopia.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Background

A patient’s health literacy is fundamental for navigating the health system and managing disease. This study aimed to compare the health literacy levels of patients with chronic retinal disease in Denmark.

Methods

This cross-sectional questionnaire study used the validated HLS-EU-Q16 questionnaire to determine the health literacy of 225 patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) or retinal vein occlusion (RVO), receiving intravitreal treatment at the retinal clinic, Zealand University Hospital, Denmark. Patients were consecutively included as participants for the study. All patients had the option of having the survey read aloud to them.

Results

Health literacy levels between the patient groups did not differ significantly, however, the proportion of patients with poor health literacy was high—65% of AMD patients, 73% of DME patients, and 63% of patients with RVO.

Conclusions

Low health literacy of patients with retinal disease signify a need for more health literacy research in the field of retinal diseases, to secure that patients have the timely and appropriate knowledge and competencies to manage their condition.
Comparison of Visual Outcomes for Myopia after Refractive Surgery using Femtosecond Laser-assisted and Epipolis LASIK
Authors: PIAO JUNJIE , Yoo Young-Sik , Whang Woong-Joo , Joo Choun-Ki 
Published: May 2019

Abstract
Purpose

This study was to clinically evaluate the visual outcomes after refractive surgery for myopia using femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (femto-LASIK) and epipolis LASIK (flap-off epi-LASIK).

Methods

Forty eyes of 27 patients were divided into 2 groups in a retrospective study. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction (MR),corneal asphericity (Q-value) and corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were assessed pre- and postoperatively.

Results

The pre- and postoperative changes in flattest keratometry reading(K1), steepest keratometry reading(K2), central corneal thickness(CCT), and only Q-value of the anterior surface was statistically significant for both groups (femto-LASIK: P=0.014, P=0.03, P<0.001, P=0.001, respectively; epi-LASIK: all P<0.001). The postoperative corneal thickness spatial profile (CTSP) were statistically significant thinner than preoperative CTSP in both procedures (all P<0.05), and the epi-LASIK was significant thinner than femto-LASIK at 6 mm ring of CTSP (P=0.039). The improvement in LogMAR UDVA after refractive surgery was statistically significant for both groups (P<0.001 for all groups); it was significantly improved for femto-LASIK on day 1 and at 1 week postoperatively (P<0.001, P=0.019, respectively). In analysis of corneal HOAs, there were significant reduction of vertical coma aberration and horizontal secondary astigmatism aberration, and induction of spherical aberration in the front corneal HOAs after femto-LASIK (P=0.021, P=0.001, P=0.001, respectively); in the total corneal HOAs changes were the same pattern as the front corneal HOAs (P=0.007, P=0.004, P<0.001, respectively), but in the back corneal HOAs changes, a few significant induction of vertical coma aberration, and reduction of oblique trefoil aberration and oblique tetrafoil aberration (all P<0.05). In flap-off epi-LASIK, there were only significant induction of SA in the front and total corneal HOAs after surgery (all P<0.05); in the back corneal HOAs, a few significant induced horizontal secondary astigmatism aberration and reduced SA aberration (P=0.027, P=0.011, respectively), however, the back corneal HOAs changes were not significant effect on the total corneal HOAs changes.

Conclusion

Femto-LASIK showed better early visual outcomes than that noted by epi-LASIK, but there was no significant difference between the outcomes of the 2 procedures 1 week postoperatively.

Abstract
Backgroud

To improve the aspheric intraocular lens (IOL) selection strategy in cataract surgery.

Methods

A prospective, nonrandomized study was implemented in adult cataract patients who underwent unilateral phacoemulsification with aspheric IOL implantation. Patients were allocated into two treatment groups: a customized group and a control group. In the customized group, the aspheric IOL selection was based on the corneal spherical aberration to enable the postoperative target ocular spherical aberration closest to zero; in the control group, the aspheric IOLs were chosen using a random strategy. Primary outcome measurements included the following objective optical quality assessments: higher-order aberrations obtained by a Hartmann-shack aberrometer at 4mm and 6mm pupil diameters; objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cut-off, Strehl ratio (SR) and a simulated contrast visual acuity—optical quality analysis system value (OV) obtained by a double-pass system with a 4-mm aperture. Subjective visual acuity was measured as secondary outcome. All the patients were followed up for 3 months.

Results

Eighty-four patients in the customized group and 78 patients in the control group were evaluated. There was no significant difference in postoperative visual acuity between the two groups (P>0.05). Significantly less ocular higher-order aberrations were shown in the customized group (P<0.05). No significant difference was shown in OSI, MTF cut-off, SR and OV between the two groups (P>0.05).

Conclusions

Although customized selection of aspheric IOL implantation showed less postoperative ocular aberrations, it performed similarly to random selection of aspheric IOL implantation in terms of postoperative visual acuity, simulated contrast visual acuity, intraocular scatter, modulation transfer function and Strehl ratio.

Published: May 2019

Abstract
Background: Device-associated health care-associated infections (DA-HAIs) are a major threat to patient safety, particularly in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a bundle of infection control measures to reduce DA-HAIs in the ICU of a General Hospital in the Republic of Cyprus, over a three-year period.
Methods: We studied 599 ICU patients with length of stay (LOS) for at least 48 hours. Our prospective cohort study was divided into three surveillance phases. VAP, CLABSI, and CAUTI incidence rates, LOS and mortality were calculated before, during and after the infection prevention and control program.
Results: There was a statistically significant reduction in the number of DA-HAI events during the surveillance periods, associated with DA-HAIs prevention efforts. In 2015 (prior to program implementation), the baseline DA-HAIs instances were 43: 16 VAP (10.1/1000 Device Days), 21 (15.9/1000DD) CLABSIs and 6 (2.66/1000DD) CAUTIs, (n=198). During the second phase (2016), CLABSIs prevention measures were implemented and the number of infections were 24: 14 VAP (12.21/1000DD), 4 (4.2/1000DD) CLABSIs & 6 (3.22/1000DD) CAUTIs, (n=184). During the third phase (2017), VAP and CAUTI prevention measure were again implemented and the rates were 6: (3 VAP: 12.21/1000DD), 2 (1.95/1000DD) CLABSIs & 1 (0.41/1000DD) CAUTIs, (n=217). There was an overall reduction of 87% in the total number of DA-HAIs instances for the period 01/01/15 to 31/12/17.
Conclusions: The significant overall reduction in DA-HAI rates, indicates that a comprehensive infection control program can affect DA-HAI rates.

Core Ideas
Production‐scale conservation tillage systems had few effects on crop yields.
Strip till had the least costs per hectare and may be more economical for farmers.
Tillage affected only fungi/bacteria ratios out of 19 soil properties.
Farmers’ presumed yield losses among tillage systems did not reflect actual yields.
In the US upper Midwest, the narrow growing season causes many farmers to presume yield losses when reducing tillage. The purpose of this study was to determine how four production‐scale tillage systems affected residue cover, stand populations, crop yields, and soil chemical, biological, and physical properties. Tillage systems (chisel plow, fall strip‐till with shanks, spring strip‐till with coulters, and shallow vertical till) were continued for 4 yr. Tillage effects within a site were few and mixed (0.17–0.36 Mg ha−1 difference), whereas site effects were common (0.50–3.00 Mg ha−1 difference). Among 19 soil properties, only fungal/bacteria ratios differed among strip‐till with shanks (0.078) and strip‐till with coulters (0.066) at one site. Our results suggest that many farmers’ concerns about using conservation tillage practices do not necessarily translate into yield losses when compared to standard chisel plow practices. Economics and the level of erosion control among the tillage practices compared here, rather than yield alone, should guide farmer preferences.

Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach) has attracted much attention as an efficient feedstock for biofuel production in sub‐tropical climate such as the southern United States because of its perennial nature and high biomass yield, with low inputs on marginal lands. In this study, we examined if napiergrass can be harvested advantageously both for biofuel feedstock as well as fodder usage. Three harvest treatments, i.e., T1, double harvest per year, first in July (T1H1) and second in November (T1H2); T2, double harvest per year, first in October (T2H1) and second in November (T2H2); and T3, single regular harvest in November (T3), were tested for biomass yield. Plant samples from all five harvests were analyzed for quality parameters to ascertain fodder suitability. Averaged across the study period, highest dry matter annual biomass yield was recorded for T3 (41.6 Mg DM ha−1) followed by T2 (37.2 Mg DM ha−1) and T1 (35.3 Mg DM ha−1). The regrowth after October harvest (T2H2) was found suitable for fodder usage and resulted in a fresh biomass yield of 7.9 Mg ha−1 that contained 213 g kg−1 crude protein (CP), 155 g kg−1 ash, 509 g kg−1 neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and 290 g kg−1 acid detergent fiber (ADF). This study showed that napiergrass can be grown for producing biomass for biofuel production as well as a quality fodder during the late fall season in the southern United States. The results would be of special significance to farmers who follow mixed crop and animal farming.

Published: May 2019

ABSTRACTReducing the fallow period by using cover crops in a winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]–fallow system has the potential to suppress weeds and improve wheat yield, yet limited information is available from the semiarid southern Great Plains (SGP) of the United States. This study determines the effects of spring‐planted cover crops on weed suppression and winter wheat yields in semiarid environments. The study used a randomized complete block design with eight cover crop treatments and three replications. The cover crop treatments consisted of fallow (weeds controlled with herbicide), pea (Pisum sativum L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), canola (Brassica napus L.), pea + oat, pea + canola, pea + oat + canola, and six‐species mixture of pea + oat + canola + hairy vetch (Vicia villosa L.) + forage radish (Raphanus sativus L.) + barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Both winter wheat and cover crops received supplemental irrigation. The cover crops showed potential to suppress weeds and maintain good ground cover during summer. Specifically, weed biomass in the oat and oat mixtures with legumes and brassicas were 73 to 85% less than in fallow during 2018. Cover crops showed little effect on wheat yield, yield components, and water use efficiency. Although long‐term studies of cover crops effects on multiple ecosystem services may help to select the most effective cover crop on wheat yield and water use efficiency in the SGP, this study revealed benefit of cover cropping through weed suppression.
Predicting the Fate of Preferentially Moving Herbicides

Core Ideas
A simple multiregion model predicts herbicide transport well using tracer data.
A chloride tracer is used to characterize the preferential flow paths.
A surface layer in the model distributes water and solutes to the preferential pathways.
Simulation of preferential flow remains a challenge despite being a recognized phenomenon. With short‐interval data, we adapted and tested the preferential flow model (PFM) to simulate the vertical transport of herbicides to lower soil layers. The PFM divides the soil profile into a top distribution zone and a conveyance zone below. The distribution zone acts as a reservoir, with an exponential loss of solutes to the conveyance zone. In the conveyance zone, water and solutes move as convective–dispersive flow through multiple flow paths—preferential and matrix—to shallow groundwater. Our field experiment was performed on a structured Hudson silty clay loam soil (a fine, illitic, mesic Glossaquic Hapludalf) that exhibits preferential flow. The site was instrumented with a variety of soil water samplers placed at depths of 60 cm to monitor the volume and quality of the leachate. Agronomic application of atrazine [6‐chloro‐N‐ethyl‐N′‐(1‐methylethyl)‐1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4‐diamine] and 2,4‐D [2‐(2,4‐dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid] was used, followed by 75 cm of controlled and natural rainfall over 100 d. In addition, Cl− was applied as a conservative tracer. All samplers monitored during this period showed a fast breakthrough of solutes consistent with the occurrence of preferential flow, with two groups of breakthrough curves observed. By fitting the Cl− breakthrough curve for each group, PFM input parameters were estimated including water velocity in preferential flow paths and the fraction of water moving through each flow path. With two additional parameters for herbicide adsorption and degradation rates, the model successfully simulated the extent of preferential flow of herbicides.

Published: May 2019

Background:
In this study, the poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) G-2 dendrimer was applied to the
jute yarn.

Methods:
Untreated and dendrimer treated jute yarns were then dyed with Direct Yellow 24. Thermodynamic
parameters of dyed samples, free energy (ΔG°), the enthalpy (ΔH°), and the entropy (ΔS°) were also
evaluated.

Results:
Dendrimer treated jute yarn showed higher dye sorption compare to untreated jute yarn. The
values of ΔH° and ΔG° indicated that the sorption process was exothermic and spontaneous at low temperature.

Conclusion:
Freundlich isotherm was found to be the optimum isotherm for untreated and BET isotherm
defined for dendrimer treated jute yarn.
