Published: October 2024

External supervision of judges' performance is done by the Judicial Commission (JC), namely by providing input regarding the mechanism for providing sanctions for violations of the code of ethics committed by judges. The task of the Judicial Commission regarding recommendations for sanctions for violations committed by judges involves collaborating with the Supreme Court because the judicial commission does not have the right to impose sanctions directly on judges. Therefore, efforts are urgently needed to improve the integrity of judges as law enforcers from the Judicial Commission institution that has the authority to act as an external monitor of the behavior of judges. The Judicial Commission also guarantees that they can maintain and increase the independence and integrity of judges. Regarding the supervision of the Judicial Commission as a strengthening of the Judiciary institution in maintaining the independence and integrity of judges, this research is conducted using normative methods. The data collection techniques are done by searching documents and scientific books to determine the theoretical basis in the form of positive legal material appropriate to the research object.

Tässä tutkimuksessa eritellään varhaiskasvatuksen tutkintokoulutusten tuottamaa osaamista ja osaamiselle jäsentyvää arvoa varhaiskasvatuksen ammattilaisten (N = 63) fokusryhmähaastatteluiden (N = 21) perusteella. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään, millaista institutionaalista pääomaa varhaiskasvatuksen koulutukset tuottavat päiväkodin kenttään. Tutkimuksessa hyödynnetään Bourdieun teoreettista ajattelua ja tutkimusilmiötä analysoidaan erityisesti pääoman käsitteen näkökulmasta, huomioiden myös sosiaalisen tilan, kentän ja habituksen käsitteet. Varhaiskasvatuksen ammattilaisten tuottamien osaamiskuvausten perusteella tarkastellaan, miten varhaiskasvatustyön rakenteet muotoilevat ammattilaisten työtä sekä miten he määrittävät työn tekemisen ehtoja heidän koulutuksensa kautta muodostuneen pääoman ja sille rakentuvan osaamisen perusteella. Tarkastelun perusteella ammatilliselle, sosiaalialan ja opettajankoulutukselle rakentuvat pääomat eroavat selvästi toisistaan, ja niiden avulla myös pyritään erottautumaan toisista. Merkittäväksi distinktiivisesti eroksi jäsentyy suhtautuminen tutkimusperustaiseen tietoon ja siitä ammentavaan työotteeseen. Pääomien tarkastelu tekee näkyväksi pääomiin kiinnittyvän arvon ja niiden legitimiteetin päiväkodin kentällä, joista myös neuvotellaan ja kiistellään. Tutkimuksemme perusteella esitämme, että koulutusten tuottaman osaamisen hyödyntämistä on tarkasteltava päiväkodin kenttää laajemmin varhaiskasvatuksen kentällä. Lisäksi eri koulutusten tuottaman pedagogisen osaamisen selkeyttäminen on tarpeen osaamisen kohdentamisessa ja ammattiryhmien vastuiden ja velvoitteiden kirkastamisessa.

Published: October 2024

Study objective: Adolescent females are disproportionately affected by Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). Endocervical Gram stain smears taken during gynecological examination are inexpensive, relatively easy procedures to perform and interpret. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of Gram smears in the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (GC) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) in a female adolescent population presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) with genitourinary complaints. Methods: This study was a retrospective, cohort analysis of consecutive females (ages 13 – 19) seen at three academic medical centers over a two-year study period. All patients underwent a pelvic exam with diagnostic testing for STIs. Positive criteria for a Gram stain included greater than ten white blood cells per high-power field, gram-negative intracellular/extracellular diplococci (suggesting GC), or direct visualization of TV organisms. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) assays were used as the gold standard definition for CT/GC infection. Direct microscopic visualization of organisms on a separate wet mount prep was considered the gold standard for TV infection. Demographic information, clinical findings of cervicitis, and the results of diagnostic testing were obtained from ED records using standardized abstraction forms. Results: During the study period, 1303 adolescent females were evaluated for genitourinary complaints. A total of 181 adolescents (12.9%) had at least one documented STI. Overall, 298 patients (22.9%) had positive gram stains. The sensitivity, specificity, and positive likelihood ratio for Gram stain in the diagnosis of STI were 28.7% (95% CI, 22.2 to 35.9), 78.1% (95% CI, 75.5 to 80.5), and 1.31 (95% CI 1.0 to 1.7), respectively. The sensitivity of Gram stain to Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Trichomonas vaginalis were 35.9% (95% CI 26.8 to 45.8), 34.5% (95% CI 18.0 to 54.3), and 5.7% (95% CI 1.3 to 15.7), respectively. The consistency of the data recording was excellent, with a median kappa statistic of 0.89. Conclusions: The positive likelihood ratio of inflammation on endocervical Gram stain is too low to recommend its use to direct empiric treatment of adolescents at risk for sexually transmitted infections. Diagnostic uncertainty or treatment failures should prompt specific laboratory testing.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:
Bladder dysfunction (BD) is common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and can reduce participation in daily life. Detecting BD early allows for effective prevention-focused treatments such as pelvic floor physical therapy. Pairing neurotechnology with patient-reported outcomes to remotely measure BD could significantly improve monitoring and treatment of BD. Therefore, we describe the process and findings of stakeholder engagement from a human-centered design process to assemble a wearables for the bladder (WeB) kit.

METHODS:
Four people with MS with varying BD severity, and 5 MS clinical/research experts had 4 virtual meetings. Commercially available bladder tools were graded for ability to evaluate, monitor, or treat BD. The Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale (utility, usability, feasibility) was used for evaluation. Scoring was performed individually and as a group.

RESULTS:
Of the 11 devices, 5 obtained mean scores of greater than 6 of 10 for likability, usability, and device utility. The 2 highest scoring (9/10) devices were selected for the pilot. One device measures bladder urine levels, reporting the number/frequency of voids/leaks; the other guides pelvic floor exercises by pairing games on an app with biofeedback from intravaginal sensors. We uncovered critical differences in experts’ and patients’ appreciation of the tools, and the collaborative engagement led to substantial revisions of initial tool scores.

CONCLUSIONS:
This process underscores the critical role of stakeholder engagement in the selection of digital tools, especially in sensitive domains like pelvic function. Ongoing clinical validation of the selected tools will yield a validated, user-friendly WeB kit that is able to fill gaps in our ability to evaluate BD treatments in people with MS, ultimately reducing the impact of BD on quality of life.

Magnetized Irrigation and its Potential in Sustainable Agriculture: A Review
Authors: Saju Sandra Maria , T Sajitha Rani , P Shalini Pillai 
Published: October 2024

Magnetisation in agriculture is not a conventional method. It has tremendous implications in the crop production as well as mitigating the poor quality soil and water conditions. This reviews looks into the changes that occur in the properties of water on magnetization and the changes in the physico-chemical of soil that are affected by magnetic water. The practical application of magnetic irrigation in agriculture are reviewed based on recent researches. Magnetisaton positively influences the seed germination, seedling establishment, vegetative growth and yield of treated plants. Magnetic irrigation boosts the anti-oxidant and enzyme activity, enhances the plant metabolism and synthesis of plant pigments for coping up the adverse growth conditions. The remediation of poor quality irrigation water and waste water management are another fields where magnetization can be effectively utilized. Magnetic water can be used to alleviate abiotic stresses such as salinity and drought stresses. Magnetised irrigation is a suitable alternative for reduced water requirement and improved water use efficiency. Hence magnetised irrigation is a promising scientific method to boost crop production, while being sustainable and environmentally safe.
Power Dividers
Authors: Branner George R. 
Published: November 2017

Power dividers are one of the most fundamental and important passive components in engineering systems that are basically used for splitting or combining power at a junction. Specifically, electrical power divider systems have the added complexity of operating at frequencies ranging from very low (dc) to very high (optical) frequencies. Hence, over the years, circuit application over a wide spectrum has led to the development of diverse structural configurations such ascoaxial,two wire,waveguide,microstrip,stripline, coplanar waveguide, andoptical fiber, which perform the same function of power division/combining, although at different frequency bands. These structures also vary in power handling capacity, which is defined by the system, ranging from low‐power electronics to high‐power radar systems. Efficient power divider design also requiresmatchingat the junction to ensure smooth flow of power between the various ports of the device, which may have different input/output impedances.This article starts with a discussion of the basic theory andS‐parameter analysis of electrical power dividers in equal and unequal configuration, followed by specific applications to different transmission line structures such as coaxial, waveguide, and microstrip. This introductory section is followed by details of analytical and computer optimization methods to design equal and unequal power dividers, including empirical formulas for techniques such astaperingandsteppingto obtain increased bandwidth of operation. Finally, the article concludes with an overview of current trends and innovations in power divider design.

AbstractLarge CH4 leak rates have been observed in the Uintah Basin of eastern Utah, an area with over 10,000 active and producing natural gas and oil wells. In this paper, we model CH4 concentrations at four sites in the Uintah Basin and compare the simulated results to in situ observations at these sites during two spring time periods in 2015 and 2016. These sites include a baseline location (Fruitland), two sites near oil wells (Roosevelt and Castlepeak), and a site near natural gas wells (Horsepool). To interpret these measurements and relate observed CH4 variations to emissions, we carried out atmospheric simulations using the Stochastic Time‐Inverted Lagrangian Transport model driven by meteorological fields simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting and High Resolution Rapid Refresh models. These simulations were combined with two different emission inventories: (1) aircraft‐derived basin‐wide emissions allocated spatially using oil and gas well locations, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and (2) a bottom‐up inventory for the entire U.S., from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). At both Horsepool and Castlepeak, the diurnal cycle of modeled CH4 concentrations was captured using NOAA emission estimates but was underestimated using the EPA inventory. These findings corroborate emission estimates from the NOAA inventory, based on daytime mass balance estimates, and provide additional support for a suggested leak rate from the Uintah Basin that is higher than most other regions with natural gas and oil development.
A Positive Feedback Process Between Tropical Cyclone Intensity and the Moisture Conveyor Belt Assessed With Lagrangian Diagnostics

Published: November 2017

AbstractUsing a cloud‐resolving regional model and Lagrangian diagnostics, we assess a positive feedback process between tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and the moisture conveyor belt (MCB), which connects a TC and the Indian Ocean (IO), the South China Sea (SCS), and the Philippine Sea (PS) vapors, from a macroscopic view. We performed sensitivity experiments that modified the observed sea surface temperature field over the IO and the SCS to regulate the MCB behavior, and we examined the remote response of a prototypical TC. The results show that the connection between MCB formation and TC development is very robust, which was also observed in another TC's case. The MCB plays a vital role in transporting lots of moist air parcels toward the TC from the IO, SCS, and PS regions. The transported parcels, which further gained the underlying ocean vapor along the MCB, are easily trapped in the inner core by radial inflow in the atmospheric boundary layer and, subsequently, release latent heat around the eyewall, resulting in the TC's intensifying. This acts to further penetrate the moist parcels of remote ocean origin into the inner core through the enhanced and expanded inflow. An additional experiment suggested that the MCB is not formed unless the westward propagation of equatorial waves induced by TC heating overlaps with the background monsoon westerlies. These findings support the reliability and validity of TC–MCB feedback.
Vertical Structure of Aerosols and Mineral Dust Over the Bay of Bengal From Multisatellite Observations
Authors: Lakshmi N. B. , Nair Vijayakumar S. , Suresh Babu S. 
Published: November 2017

AbstractThe vertical distribution of aerosol and dust extinction coefficient over the Bay of Bengal is examined using the satellite observations (Cloud Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)) for the period from 2006 to 2017. Distinct seasonal pattern is observed in the vertical structure of both aerosol and dust over the Bay of Bengal with an enhancement of 24% in the aerosol extinction above 1 km from winter (December, January and February) to premonsoon (March, April, and May). Significant contribution of dust is observed over the northern Bay of Bengal during premonsoon season where 22% of the total aerosol extinction is contributed by dust aerosols transported from the nearby continental regions. During winter, dust transport is found to be less significant with fractional contribution of ~10%–13% to the total aerosol optical depth over the Bay of Bengal. MODIS‐derived dust fraction (fine mode based) shows an overestimation up to twofold compared to CALIOP dust fraction (depolarization based), whereas the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport‐simulated dust fraction underestimates the satellite‐derived dust fractions over the Bay of Bengal. Though the long‐term variation in dust aerosol showed a decreasing trend over the Bay of Bengal, the confidence level is insufficient in establishing the robustness of the observed trend. However, significant dust‐induced heating is observed above the boundary layer during premonsoon season. This dust‐induced elevated heating can affect the convection over the Bay of Bengal which will have implication on the monsoon dynamics over the Indian region.

AbstractThe use of shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators to restore voiding of bladder for myogenic under active bladder (UAB) patients is proposed recently. Even though previous work show the unique capability of this technology for bladder voiding, the low voiding volume and high energy consumption of the device limit the advancement of this technique. This study proposes a novel approach using an interlaced configuration to overcome these limitations. In this device, SMA actuators are threaded through rigid anchor points of the flexible vest. The novel anchorage of SMA actuators provides more conformability for the vest and lower energy consumption for the device, while the new interlaced configuration enhances the voiding volume. The device is tested initially on a rubber model for the bladder, then it is implanted in an anesthetized rat, and a voiding volume of more than 20% at 4 V is successfully achieved. A commercial force sensor is integrated with the device to make it suitable for neurogenic UAB patients. The sensor provides a feedback control signal to the patient to initiate the actuation of the device upon fullness of bladder. The overall system is a promising advance over the state‐of‐the‐art providing bladder voiding in UAB patients.

AbstractNovel nanostructured films employing hyperbranched and all‐linear TiO2 nanorods have been developed with the aim to overcome the impediments to the diffusion of bulky redox shuttles in photo‐electrochemical devices. The porosity of the working electrodes has been tailored by appropriately selecting the nanocrystal building blocks to study how the electrode features affect the electrochemical parameters underlying the charge‐transport phenomena and the photovoltaic properties of dye‐sensitized solar cells. An optimized combination of porosity, light‐harvesting capability, and enhanced electron‐transport properties leads to a remarkable improvement of the device efficiency from 1.3% to 8.6%. These results suggest that it is indeed possible to properly design photoanodes based on shape‐engineered nanocrystals, which can be suitable for different electrochemical devices such as fuel cells or storage devices employing viscous or quasi‐solid electrolytes.
