Published: July 2023

A proposed method to obtain the dose for Computed Tomography was evaluated on long a phantom, made of polyethylene. This phantom is 600 mm large. Adopting an empirical characterized function , a tendency of the asymptotical grow of the dose by the increase of the scanning length can estimate the dose in an infinite scanning length for a single axial rotation of the x-ray tube. The curve of was estimated for different clinical protocols: tension, pitch, head/body, and center/peripheral measurements. The ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene phantom of 600 mm length, named ICRU/AAPM phantom, was proposed by a partnership between ICRU and AAPM (Task Group 200). This length provides a higher scanner length then PMMA phantom for , whose measurement is 100 mm. The measures of ICRU/AAPM phantom were performed on General Electric, Toshiba, and Philips scanners. The measurement was performed on a thimble ion chamber inserted in the center or periphery of the phantom. Using the measurements, functions (equilibrium dose, equilibrium length and scatter fraction) were obtained. A single scan has been demonstrated to be sufficient to obtain the function.

The application of the state financial losses' assessment in corruption crime after the verdict of the constitutional court no. 31/puu-x/2012
Authors: Sadat Anwar 
Published: July 2023

The corruption cases in Indonesia are considered as a crime which is increasingly worrying since it causes state losses, even in its development the value of losses suffered by the Indonesia state are getting increased. This study aims to find out the application of the state financial losses’ assessment in corruption crime’s verdict. This study is a normative legal study using a statutory approach, conceptual approach, and comparative approach. The legal materials are used such as primary material (the corruption law), secondary materials (book and journal), and tertiary materials (law dictionary and Indonesian dictionary). The technique of legal material collection is carried out by studying literature, while the analytical technique is carried out using the interpretation method. The results of the study show that in the context of assessing the state losses, not all the cases being tried which are related to corruption crime, must go through an audit process of BPK or BPKP. When the calculation and the determination of the state losses are easy to calculate, it is only needed to be done by an investigator or prosecuting attorney. Thus, the calculation and the determination of the state financial losses is only carried out if needed, or when the statements of the experts are entered, to add or to give their statements before the trial.

Asset Structure relevance and Corporate Firm performance: Evidence from Nigerian Manufacturing firms.
Authors: Emengini Emeka , Anisiuba Chika A. , Chukwuemeka Jacob 
Published: July 2023

<p> </p>
<p>This paper examines asset structure relevance for corporate performance of Levered Firms in Nigeria. The data were collected from annual reports of firms listed on Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) from 2011 to 2020. Descriptive statistics, correlation, pooled OLS regression analysis including multicollinearity and heteroscedasticity tests were employed. The study findings reveal: that contrary to low levered firms, fixed asset ratio and customer asset ratio have passive influence on internal and external corporate performance of high levered firms; unlike the low levered firms, current asset ratio has significant impact on internal corporate performance of high levered firms but tends to decrease in external performance; Non-current asset ratio and intangible asset ratio have passive influence on internal and external corporate performance of both Low and high levered firms. These findings are pointers to policymakers and investors on the possible effect of an additional increase in asset mix. Beyond this, it also reveals how assets are encumbered in debt financing, which is of serious concern to managers. An implication of this, is that an understanding of a company’s asset structure improves understanding of the rigorous process assets investment managers undergo daily, especially as it portends to assets acquisition patterns or the components of the equity or debt.</p>

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND Maintenance hemodialysis is a popular treatment modality of renal replacement therapy for end stage renal disease patients. The clinical profile of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and dialysis in Mid Western Nepal are scarce. This study aimed to study the clinical profile of ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis at the tertiary care Hospital.
METHODS This study was a single center based cross sectional observational study carried out over a period from 15th December 2022 to 15th February 2023 in Department of Medicine. A total of 40 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis were enrolled in the study. Data about Socio demographic profiles , clinical data, duration of chronic kidney disease (CKD), major comorbidity, the presumed etiology of ESRD, duration of haemodialysis, laboratory parameters including Renal function tests etc were entered in MS Excel and analyzed through SPSS 21.
RESULTS A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the study. Males were 25(62.5%) and females were 15(37.5%). The mean age of the patient was 45.75±15.2 years. The most common cause of end stage renal disease and reasons for admission were hypertension nephropathy 36(90%) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus 9(22.5%) respectively. Anemia was the most common hematological findings in ESRD patients (>90%) followed by hypocalcemia in 65%.
CONCLUSIONS Hypertensive nephropathy was the commonest cause for CKD followed by diabetic nephropathy and glomerulonephritis. Early detection and effective management of these illnesses can delay the onset, progression of CKD to end stage and subsequent morbidity and the requirement of renal replacement therapy.

Published: July 2023

The article defines the prerequisites for the implementation of appropriate corrections in the training of shooters based on the introduced changes to the rules of competitive activity in bullet shooting. The chronology of the appearance of changes is also given, the main additions that lead to the need to use modern approaches, methods and tools in the training of air rifle shooters are described.
It has been established that the change in competition rules contributes to the increase in the spectacle of competitions, the growth of competition between athletes, the growth of requirements for the training of shooters, in particular, the ability to think tactically in a new way. It was revealed that during the evolution of the rules of the competition, the format of the finals was changed, there was a transition to the Olympic elimination system, the number of shots in the finals was increased, the time for each shot or series was reduced, etc. The need for improvement of various aspects of training of shooters, which is caused by constant changes in the rules of competitions, has been identified. In particular, updating the methodology of training athletes, which involves increasing the volume of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills. A number of scientists devoted their works to highlighting the rules of competitions, but the analysis of changes and their impact on the training of athletes is not sufficient, which actualizes our research.
Therefore, changing the rules of sports competitions, in the direction of complicating the conditions for shooting exercises, requires the search for ways to improve various aspects of shooter training, in particular, tactical, technical, etc.

Published: July 2023

Abstract: Human case studies are interesting to analyze from a variety of different perspectives. Regarding humanitarian cases in Indonesia, in 2022 there have been phenomenal human rights violations. Gus Dur's version of humanism is religious humanism adhering to the principles of Islamic teachings, but its actualization does not only touch the religious field. This study used a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The goal is to learn about KH Abdurrahman Wahid's thoughts on applying humanism theory to humanitarian issues.The research results obtained indicate that the basic foundation of the Indonesian nation is Pancasila, which consists of five precepts with fundamental values. Of course, in understanding these values, there is a meaning contained therein. This research tries to connect the humanitarian cases that occurred in Indonesia with the theory of humanism. The theory of humans serves as a foundation for KH Abdurrahman Wahid's ideas He is an intellectual figure and scholar whose knowledge comes from all over the country. Human cases are caused by the morality of each individual and socio-cultural, economic, political, and religious changes. In this case, Gus Dur actualizes human values that are just and adaptable to the concept of humanizing humans. In order to create world peace, a sense of involvement with the suffering of fellow human beings must be strengthened, not bypunishing those who suffer.

Artikel ini membahas tentang dinamika penguatan peran dan fungsi Badan Permusyawaratan Desa (BPD) dalam perspektif demokrasi. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan kepustakaan dan perundangan, serta pendekatan historis. Sumber data dalam tulisan ini berasal dari peraturan perundang-undangan Indonesia baik eksisting maupun yang pernah berlaku, literatur ilmiah yang relevan, serta hasil observasi dan wawancara penulis dengan responden dari BPD Desa Karyamulyasari, Kecamatan Candipuro, Lampung Selatan. Kesimpulan yang didapatkan dari penelitian ini yakni pertama, Badan Permusyawaratan Desa bukan merupakan unsur penyelenggara pemerintahan desa namun merupakan mitra Kepala Desa dalam urusan penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa, kedua, konstruksi hukum UU Desa menghendaki tiga fungsi BPD dilaksanakan secara simultan dan berimbang, dan ketiga, fungsi pengawasan BPD terhadap kepala desa menjadi lebih dominan daripada fungsi aspirasi dan fungsi legislasi desa. Karenanya, penguatan pada dua fungsi lainnya menjadi penting, selain untuk menjalankan amanat UU Desa juga untuk menjaga demokrasi pada lebel desa.
Plasmon-free polymeric nanowrinkled substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of two-dimensional materials

Published: July 2023

<p>We report plasmon-free polymeric nanowrinkled substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Our simple, rapid and cost-effective fabrication method involves depositing a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) prepolymer solution droplet on a fully polymerized, flat PEGDA substrate, followed by drying the droplet at room conditions and plasma treatment, which polymerizes the deposited layer. The thin polymer layer buckles under axial stress during plasma treatment due to its different mechanical properties from the underlying soft substrate, creating hierarchical wrinkled patterns. We demonstrate the variation of the wrinkling wavelength with the drying polymer molecular weight and concentration (direct relations are observed). A transition between micron to nanosized wrinkles is observed at 5 v% concentration of the lower molecular weight polymer solution (PEGDA Mn 250). The wrinkled substrates are observed to be reproducible, stable (at room conditions) and, specially, homogeneous at and below the transition regime, where nanowrinkles dominate, making them suitable candidates for SERS. As a proof-of-concept, the enhanced SERS performance of micro/nano-wrinkled surfaces in detecting graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is illustrated. Compared to the SiO2/Si surfaces, the wrinkled PEGDA substrates significantly enhanced the signature Raman bands intensities of graphene and h-BN by a factor of 8 and 50, respectively. </p>
Health eﬀects, environmental impacts, and photochemical degradation of selected surfactants in water
Authors: Mehrvar Mehrab , Venhuis Sarah Rebecca Hatfield 
Published: July 2023

<p>Surfactants are depended upon worldwide as cleaning agents. Their usage in such large quantities means that their waste and the potential for pollution are high. Many studies have been done over the last three decades encompassing treatment, alternatives to non-biodegradable surfactants, and the environmental impact. It has been found that although certain surfactants may not be directly toxic, when their concentrations are high in soil, they can act as agents to release toxic pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The focus of this study is to review recent advances in the toxicology, the environmental fate, and the treatment of selected surfactants. In addition, photolytic and photocatalytic degradation of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate in water is presented. </p>
Using a tracer technique to identify the extent of non-ideal ﬂows in the continuous mixing of non-Newtonian ﬂuids

Published: July 2023

<p>The identification of non-ideal flows in a continuous-flow mixing of non-Newtonian fluids is a challenging task for various chemical industries: plastic manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment, and pulp and paper manufacturing. Non-ideal flows such as channelling, recirculation, and dead zones significantly affect the performance of continuous-flow mixing systems. Therefore, the main objective of this paper was to develop an identification protocol to measure non-ideal flows in the continuous-flow mixing system. The extent of non-ideal flows was quantified using a dynamic model that incorporated channelling, recirculation, and dead volume in the mixing vessel. To estimate the dynamic model parameters, the system was excited using a frequency-modulated random binary input by injecting the saline solution (as a tracer) into the fresh feed stream prior to being pumped into the mixing vessel. The injection of the tracer was controlled by a computer-controlled on-off solenoid valve. Using the trace technique, the extent of channelling and the effective mixed volume were successfully determined and used as mixing quality criteria. Such identification procedures can be applied at various areas of chemical engineering in order to improve the mixing quality. </p>

<p>Mixing is a critical unit operation, which is widely used in chemical and allied industries. Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids is a challenging task due to the complex rheology exhibited by these fluids. Pseudoplastic fluids with yield stress are an important class of non-Newtonian fluids. In this study, we utilized ultrasonic Doppler velocimetry (UDV) to explore the flow field generated by different impellers in the agitation of xanthan gum solutions and pulp suspensions, which are yield-pseudoplastic fluids. </p>
