AbstractAimSystemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by vascular and fibrosing involvement of the skin and internal organs. In this study, we determined the prevalence and characteristics of radiological hands and feet involvements in Iranian SSc patients to identify the associations between clinical features and radiologic findings.Methods43 SSc patients (41 women and 2 men), with a median age of 44.8 years (ranges 26–70 years) and a mean disease duration of 11.8 years (ranges 2–28 years) were studied in this cross-sectional study.Results42 patients had radiological changes both in their hands and feet. Only one patient had alteration just in hand. The most frequent changes that we found in hand were Juxta-articular Osteoporosis (93%), Acro-osteolysis (58.2%), and Joint Space Narrowing (55.8%). The prevalence of joint space narrowing or acro-osteolysis was higher in subjects with active skin involvement [modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) > 14] [16/21 vs. 4/16 for patients with inactive skin involvement (mRSS < 14);p = 0.002]. The most frequent changes that we found in the foot were Juxta-articular Osteoporosis (93%), Acro-osteolysis (46.5%), Joint Space Narrowing (58.1%), and subluxation (44.2%). The presence of anti-ccp antibody was detected in 4 (9.3%), while positive rheumatoid factor was found in 13 (30.2%) of SSc patients.ConclusionThis study corroborates that arthropathy is common in SSc patients. The introduction of the specific radiological involvements of SSc needs to be confirmed by further studies, in order to define the appropriate prognosis and treatment of patients.

Abstract
Background
Surgeons aim for R0 resection in patients with pancreatic cancer to improve overall survival. However, it is unclear whether recent changes in pancreatic cancer care such as centralization, increased use of neoadjuvant therapy, minimally invasive surgery, and standardized pathology reporting have influenced R0 resections and whether R0 resection remains associated with overall survival.

Methods
This nationwide retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic cancer from the Netherlands Cancer Registry and the Dutch Nationwide Pathology Database (2009–2019). R0 resection was defined as > 1 mm tumor clearance at the pancreatic, posterior, and vascular resection margins. Completeness of pathology reporting was scored on the basis of six elements: histological diagnosis, tumor origin, radicality, tumor size, extent of invasion, and lymph node examination.

Results
Among 2955 patients after PD for pancreatic cancer, the R0 resection rate was 49%. The R0 resection rate decreased from 68 to 43% (2009–2019, P < 0.001). The extent of resections in high-volume hospitals, minimally invasive surgery, neoadjuvant therapy, and complete pathology reports all significantly increased over time. Only complete pathology reporting was independently associated with lower R0 rates (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.69–0.83, P < 0.001). Higher hospital volume, neoadjuvant therapy, and minimally invasive surgery were not associated with R0. R0 resection remained independently associated with improved overall survival (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.66–0.79, P < 0.001), as well as in the 214 patients after neoadjuvant treatment (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.42–0.87, P = 0.007).

Conclusions
The nationwide rate of R0 resections after PD for pancreatic cancer decreased over time, mostly related to more complete pathology reporting. R0 resection remained associated with overall survival.

Community aged care in Australia: the need for innovative programmes to boost workforce capacity
Authors: Savy Pauline , Hodgkin Suzanne , Conway Erin 
Published: May 2023

Across Western nations, ‘ageing in place’ policies rely on having a sufficient and skilled aged care workforce. In Australia, due to the impact of successive policy reforms, this workforce including the sector that provides community-based services has declined in number and skills. At the same time the need to upskill and sustain this workforce has intensified as the frailty and health needs of consumers have increased. This paper reports on an integrative literature review undertaken during 2021 to describe workforce needs and peer reviewed reports of programs instituted in aged care settings that aimed to address these needs.
The review sought to examine programs implemented in both long-term and community care settings and to draw from these elements that may be utilised in future program design across the sector. It focussed primarily on workforce deficits in the community aged care sector and on the capacity of rurally-based services to meet and respond to growing consumer demand. The findings emphasise current workforce deficits while they also reveal a paucity of peer-reviewed reports of implemented programs across the sector as a whole. Nevertheless, the few programs examined in this review provide examples of the capacity and willingness of workers and providers to trial measures that aim to increase the recruitment, retention, skill and job-satisfaction of direct care workers. We propose that the key elements of the programs identified in this paper provide the foundation for the development of strategically designed programs that address particular workforce needs such as those shaped by rural contexts.
Efficacy of Adjudication Process of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP): Law and Economics of National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT)

Published: May 2023

Abstract

National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs) form the backbone of the institutional setup of the corporate law mechanism. The tribunals though were initially given a minimal role in the judicial procedure of the corporate world and were seen with scepticism, their significance could not be ignored for long. With the increase in insolvency disputes, the NCLTs were even given the jurisdiction to handle the cases regarding the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) and Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP)

.
However, the efficiency of these tribunals has to be inspected with respect to CIRP cases for knowing the clear picture. In this paper, an economic analysis of the working of the NCLT Ahmedabad is undertaken to get a better understanding of the efficiency of the NCLTs in general. The study relies on qualitative tools such as interviewers conducted by relevant stakeholders and observing NCLT court proceedings to capture the measurement reality of NCLT efficiency. The study also relies on descriptive statistics of time taken and recovery to measure the efficacy of NCLT.

Using electrochemical testing and modeling to assess the efficiency of a water-soluble inhibitor on the corrosion of 6061Al-15 % (v) SiC (p) composite
Authors: Krishnananda Maithili , Shetty Prakasha , Kumari Preethi , Kagatikar Sneha 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The corrosion behaviour of 6061Al-15 % (v) SiC (P) composite was investigated in a 0.5 M HCl medium using electrochemical techniques. A water-soluble inhibitor, N-(1-morpholinobenzyl) semicarbazide (NMSc), was synthesised to test its corrosion inhibition activity on 6061Al-15 % (v) SiC (P) composite. The inhibitor showed cathodic-type behaviour and 95.42 % inhibition efficiency at 2.56 mM concentration and 303 K temperature. The thermodynamic results revealed the inhibitor’s physisorption, which followed Langmuir’s isotherm model. A drastic reduction in corrosion current density in the inhibited medium indicates that the inhibitor effectively controls the deterioration of the composite in the HCl medium. A significant rise in polarisation resistance on increasing inhibitor concentration offers greater resistance for the charge transfer process, ensuring better control over the composite corrosion. The surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirms the inhibitor film formation on the composite. The quantum chemical theoretical calculations supported the electrochemical results.

Abstract

Objectives
Exercise is one of the beneficial mediators for the regulation and prevention of obesity through the role of irisin, so it potentially enhances metabolism health. This study aims to investigate the dynamic of irisin secrecy change after chronic exercise in obese females.

Methods
Thirty-one female adolescents aged 20–22 years enrolled in the study and were given interventions aerobic, resistance, and a combination of aerobic and resistance training. The exercises were performed at moderate-intensity, for 35–40 min per session, and three times a week for four weeks. The measurement of irisin level, IGF-1 level, and bio-anthropometry was carried out before and after the four weeks of exercise. The bio-anthropometry measurement was carried out using seca mBCA 514, while the measurement of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and irisin was completed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The obtained data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA test with 5 % significance.

Results
Our results indicated higher dynamic of irisin and IGF-1 increases in the group with a combination of aerobic and resistance training exercises than the other two groups with a different exercise. Further, we also observed different dynamics of irisin and IGF-1 level increase (p<0.05). Besides, the irisin was also correlated with the IGF-1 and bio-anthropometric parameters (p<0.05).

Conclusions
The combination of aerobic and resistance training exercises is considered as the alternative for enhancing the dynamic of irisin and IGF-1 increase. Thus, it can be used to prevent and regulate obesity.

Abstract
The circular blade has become the dominant edge type for tunnel boring machine disc cutters because of its outstanding wear resistance compared to wedge-shaped blades. To investigate the fracture process and damage pattern of rocks under the indentation of circular punches, indentation experiments were carried out on three sandstones using the digital image correlation (DIC) and acoustic emission (AE) simultaneous test system. A penetration force prediction model considering the radius of the indenter and the penetration depth was established based on contact mechanics. The stress distribution in the rock was determined under a circular indenter. The strain characteristics of the indentation test of three types of sandstone captured by DIC technology verified the model results. The experimental results showed the following: (1) The established mechanical model effectively describes the relationship between the penetration force and depth, and the analytical solution of the model agrees with experimental data. (2) The stress distribution of the rock in the theoretical model is consistent with the rock strain measurements in the experiments. The plastic area increases with penetration depth, but the rate of increase gradually decreases. After reaching the peak point of specimen fracture, the range no longer increases when the loading continues. (3) With penetration depth increase, the range of AE hits and parameters change in stages. After the overall fracturing of the sample, AE hits still occur, but the range does not significantly increase.
A Simplified Protocol for Permanent Deformation Characterization of Asphalt Concrete
Authors: Uzan Jacob , Sidess Arieh 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Permanent deformation (PD; or rutting) is one of the major distresses in flexible pavements. To predict PD in asphalt concrete, repeated and recovery load tests are usually conducted in the laboratory. The full-blown repeated load permanent deformation (RLPD) is time-consuming, limiting its use in research programs and developing correlations. Therefore, a quicker yet reliable procedure is needed for use in performance prediction programs. This paper presents a simplified and quicker procedure to obtain PD model parameters. It is illustrated using laboratory tests on field specimens. The procedure uses one specimen, compared with three specimens in the full-blown RLPD test, to be tested at two temperatures, the highest and lowest in the RLPD test, under the same conditions as in the RLPD test. The results of any intermediate temperature are obtained from the calibrated model. Two approaches are presented for analyzing the test results: the power equation in the AASHTOWare program, and the construction of a master curve. In the full-blown testing program with three specimens and three temperatures, the master curve approach fitted the results better than the power law. In the simplified procedure, the fitting of the two approaches is almost identical. Results obtained from tests conducted on six mixes show (1) testing one specimen at the highest temperature only and extrapolating the results overpredicts the material behavior at intermediate and low temperatures, and (2) the master curve from the simplified procedure compares very well with the one from the full-blown RLPD program.

Published: May 2023

Periode tahun 1998 bangsa Indonesia benar-benar telah menganut sistem pemerintahan berasaskan kepada demokrasi yang berarti “rakyat berkuasa” (government or rule by the people). Namun kenyatannya, sebagian masyarakat awam khususnya di daerah masih belum tahu apa itu demokrasi meskipun mata pelajaran PKn termasuk pelajaran umum. Hal ini salah satunya disebabkan karena sampai saat ini mata pelajaran PKn tidak diujikan dalam Ujian Nasional. Padahal sudah ada UU tentang Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan yang mengarah pada berbagai dokumen resmi kenegaraan seperti pasal 37 UU No. 20 tahun 2003, pasal 9 UU No. 3 thn 2003, Permen Diknas No. 22 tahun 2006 tentang Standar Isi, SK Dirjen Dikti No. 43/ Dikti/ Kep/ 2006. Naskah akademik rancangan UU tentang PKn yang disiapkan oleh Direktorat Jenderal Potensi Departemen Pertahanan dapat diketahui beberapa arah dan kebijakan PKn di Indonesia di masa depan. Demokrasi Pancasila merupakan perwujudan dan pelaksanaan prinsip-prinsip berdasarkan UUD 1945 yang meliputi 10 pilar demokrasi. Karena kejenuhan terhadap pemerintahan yang totaliter, semi diktator militer menjadi alasan demokratitasi harus terus dilaksanakan untuk menuju masyarakat madani (civil society) untuk menhadapi semua itu maka demokrasi ditegakkan dengan cara masyarakatnya harus ada sikap menerima dan menghargai perbedaan dan tahu akan hak dan kewajibannya dengan cara mengikuti penerangan melalui sosialisasi yang dikerjakan oleh aparat pemerintah setempat bekerja sama dengan tokoh masyarakat setempat.
FUNGSI LEGISLASI DPR PASCA AMANDEMEN UUD 1945
Authors: Sunarto Sunarto 
Published: May 2023

Salah satu fungsi yang harus dijalankan oleh DPR adalah fungsi legislasi, di samping fungsi lainnya yaitu fungsi fungsi anggaran dan fungsi pengawasan. Fungsi legialasi DPR adalah fungsi untuk membuat undang-undang. Pembuatan undang-undang dilaksanakan atas kerjasama antara DPR dan Presiden. Rancangan undang-undang bisa datang dari DPR, bisa juga datang dari Presiden. Sebelum ditetapkan menjadi undang-undang, rancangan undang-undang dibahas oleh DPR dan Presiden untuk memperoleh persetujuan bersama. Setelah memperoleh persetujuan bersama rancangan undang-undang tersebut disahkan oleh Presiden menjadi undang-undang. Amandemen UUD 1945 membawa pergeseran dan penguatan peran DPR dalam pembentukan undang-undang. Sebelum amandemen UUD 1945, kekuasaan untuk membentuk undang-undang berada pada Presiden, sedangkan DPR hanya memberi persetujuan. Setelah amandemen pembuatan undang-undang menjadi kekuasaan DPR, sedangkan Presiden berhak mengajukan rancangan undang-undang kepada DPR. Dalam hal rancangan undang-undang yang telah disetujui bersama itu dalam waktu tiga puluh hari semenjak persetujuan tidak disahkan oleh Presiden, rancangan undang-undang tersebut sah menjadi undang-undang dan wajib diundangkan. Ketentuan amandemen tersebut telah membawa peningkatan peran DPR dalam pembentukan undang-undang, baik dalam hal pengajuan rancangan undang-undang maupun dalam pembahasan rancangan undang-undang untuk menjadi undang-undang.
