Background
Neurocognitive impairments are prevalent among older people in China. It is more problematic among older people living with HIV.

Objective
This study aims to compare neurocognitive performance between older people living with HIV and HIV-negative controls, and to explore whether the association between HIV status and neurocognitive performance was mediated by depressive symptoms and level of physical activity.

Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Yongzhou, China. All people living with HIV aged ≥50 years listed in the registry were invited. Frequency matching was used to sample HIV-negative controls from the general population according to the distribution of age, sex, and years of formal education of older people living with HIV. A total of 315 older people living with HIV and 350 HIV-negative controls completed the face-to-face interview and comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of seven domains (learning, memory, working memory, verbal fluency, processing speed, executive function, and motor skills).

Results
As compared to HIV-negative controls, older people living with HIV performed worse in global score and all seven domains (P<.05). HIV infection was associated with higher depressive symptoms (P<.001) and lower level of physical activity (P<.001). Depressive symptoms and physical activity were negatively correlated (P<.001). Depressive symptoms and level of physical activity mediated the association between HIV status and global z-score and four domain z-scores of neurocognitive performance (learning, memory, verbal fluency, and processing speed).

Conclusions
Change in mental health and physical activity after HIV infection may partially explain why older people living with HIV are more susceptible to neurocognitive impairment. Promoting mental health and physical activity are potential entry points to slow down the progress of neurocognitive impairment among older people living with HIV.

Sumba Island holds a lot of local wisdom. One of the local wisdom is Piti Maranggangu. Piti Maranggangu is a catch / take in meetings that often occur in public places or public places, such as in traditional markets, places of customs activities (traditional parties), on the street, at home and even planted. The purpose of this study was to find out and understand Piti Maranggangu from the point of view of Customary Law and Law No. 1 of 1974 on marriage. The type of research used is socio-legal research with a research location in Sumba Island, East Nusa Tenggara. The results showed that Piti Mara interfered with a review of the principles of customary law that piti maranggangu practices are recognized in the sumba island community and is a form of honest exogamous mating mating system. Referred to as honest exogamy because the edited woman has been positioned as a surrogate in the clan. While Piti Maranggangu in the perspective of Law No. 1 of 1974 can be concluded that there are 2 (two) conditions violated in the marriage process, namely substantive conditions that there is no consent from the bride, then the age of the edited bride is underage (under 19 years). As a result of violating these substantive conditions, Piti Maranggangu can legally be void by law.

Comparison of hybrid and non-hybrid models in short-term predictions on time series in the R development environment
Authors: PALA Zeydin , ÜNLÜK İbrahim Halil 
Published: June 2022

Because many time series usually contain both linear and nonlinear components, a single linear or nonlinear model may be insufficient for modeling and predicting time series. Therefore, estimation results are tried to be improved by using collaborative models in time series short-term prediction processes. In this study, the performances of both stand-alone models and models whose different combinations can be used in a hybrid environment are compared. The mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) metric values obtained from two different categories were evaluated. In addition, the estimation performances of three different approaches such as equi-weighted (EW), variable-weighted (VW) and cross-validation-weighted (CVW) for hybrid operation were also compared.
The findings on the container throughput forecast of the Airpassengers dataset reveal that the hybrid model's forecasts outperform the non-combined model.

The Impact of Capital Structure and Ownership Structure on Financial Performance: A Study on the KSE 100 Listed Firms in the Pakistan Stock Exchange
Authors: Shah Jamal , Ahmed Jameel , Khan Nadir 
Published: June 2022

Purpose: This research study aimed to examine the impact of capital structure and ownership structure on the financial performance of KSE-100 index firms on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
Design/Methodology/Approach: 100 listed companies have been selected as sample for the study but due to data limitations, 90 companies' annual data has been used for 2009-2018. Ordinary least square regression was used on the panel data for analysis. Two measures of capital structure (debt-to-equity ratio and debt to total assets) while three measures of ownership structure (Foreign ownership, Institutional ownership, and managerial ownership) have been used to determine their impact on three financial performance measures (return on assets, return on equity, and Tobin's).
Findings: The results of this study showed that there is a significant negative relationship between financial performance and capital structure. Ownership structure and firm financial performance showed a significant positive relationship when measured on the basis of foreign ownership and institutional ownership while insignificant and negatively related to managerial ownership.
Implications: This study suggests that organizations should take financing decisions in accordance with optimum capital structure because more debt decreases financial performance. Furthermore, a decision should be taken the encouragement of foreign and institutional shareholding, while the level of managerial ownership should be lessened to enhance financial performance

Purpose: This study is an effort to depict the level of satisfaction in children with vision impairment and their parents about instructional practices and educational provisions available at primary level in Government Special Education Institutions of Punjab, Pakistan.
Design/Methodology/Approach: It was a descriptive mixed method research. Multistage sampling technique was applied to collect the data from randomly selected 31 parents and 53 students with vision impairment studying in fifth grade. Three institutions were randomly selected from each zone to conduct the structured interviews from parents while four special education institutions were chosen randomly from each zone to fill the questionnaires by all available CWVI studying at primary level.
Findings: The study reported that the majority of parents are belonging to low socio economic status and they have minimum level of education and awareness and as do CWVI. Teachers usually have good attitude with parents. School management gave stipend, uniform and shoes in time. In addition CWVI praised the instructional practices of their teachers in reading, writing, mathematics, assigning & checking homework, regular class tests and provision of result cards to their parents. But they had reservations due to lack of training in orientation and mobility, absence of training in vocational skills and lack of in time availability of Braille books
Implications/Originality/Value: Study recommended that various programs and seminars should be arranged for parents to get better understanding of the standards of instructional practices and educational provisions. Braille books and Braille equipments should be provided to CWVI. Sufficient training about orientation and mobility, vocational subjects and use of assistive devices/IT should be provided to students in all special education institutions.

Published: June 2022

Penyelesaian perkara perdata di Pengadilan Negeri selama ini dilakukan secara manual atau konvensional, yaitu proses penyelesaian perkara perdata yang dilakukan secara bertemu langsung atau tatap muka antara para pihak (penggugat dan tergugat), penerima kuasa (advokat), panitera pengganti dan hakim pemeriksa perkara di ruang sidang pengadilan. Namun, sejak diberlakukannya Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 3 Tahun 2018 tentang Administrasi Perkara di Pengadilan secara elektronik, yang telah diubah dengan Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 1 Tahun 2019, Indonesia sudah menuju kepada Peradilan modern yang menerapkan atau melaksanakan penyelesaian perkara di Pengadilan, baik mengenai administrasi perkara, maupun persidangannya dilaksanakan secara elektronik (e-court). Isu hukum dalam penelitian ini adalah Konsep Pengaturan E-Court untuk Penyelesaian Perkara Perdata di Pengadilan pada masa yang akan datang, dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan menggunakan metode deduktif. Hasil Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa, Pengaturan E-Court dalam Penyelesaian Perkara Perdata di Pengadilan pada masa yang akan datang harus diformulasikan atau dirumuskan dalam jenis Undang-Undang dan disatukan dengan peraturan yang mengatur tentang Hukum Acara Perdata (Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Perdata) pengganti HIR/RBg kemudian Perumusan E-Court pada Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Perdata tersebut dimasukkan atau dimuat dalam materi pemeriksaan perkara di persidangan. Apabila Peraturan yang mengatur tentang e-court tersebut diatur dalam jenis Undang-Undang yang dibentuk oleh legislatif, maka ketentuan tersebut bersifat imperatif/memaksa, mengandung perintah dan larangan serta mengikat secara umum yang wajib dilakukan oleh setiap warga negara, dalam hal ini termasuk para pihak yang berperkara. Sedangkan dibentuknya Peraturan Mahkamah Agung oleh Mahkamah Agung dimaksudkan untuk mengatur hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kelancaran pelaksanaan tugas dan wewenang Mahkamah Agung sebagai Pengadilan tertinggi.
Geotechnical and Mechanical Characterization of Lateritic Soil Improved with Crushed Granite

Published: June 2022

Since many years, road infrastructures in West Africa are most often subject to premature degradations despite the large number of studies. This problem is often due to the poor control of the behaviour of materials used for the pavement, but also to the scarcity of good quality materials. Nowadays, with economic development, there is a necessity for road infrastructures of good quality. In this framework, the main objective was to study the vertical geotechnical variability of the gravelly lateritic soil from the Saaba site in Burkina Faso and to improve their performances by adding crushed granite. The results show that the physical properties of the soils are almost identical depending on the depth. However, a small difference in the mechanical properties was observed. Due to their poor characteristics, these materials cannot be used for the sub-base layer according to the pavement design guide for tropical countries, CEBTP [1]. In order to improve their geotechnical and mechanical characteristics, crushed granite of class 0/31.5 mm was added at different percentages: 20, 25, 30, and 35%. It appears that the plasticity index, the methylene blue value, as well as the optimal water content of the material decreased. The soaked CBR recorded a maximum relative increase of 164% (from 14 to 37%) with the addition of 20 to 30% of crushed granite. With the addition of 20 to 30% of crushed granite, Young's modulus and unconfined compressive strength also showed a clear increase of 309% (from 80 to 327 MPa) and 140% (from 0.72 to 1.73 MPa). By comparing the results with the CEBTP specifications, the addition of 30% of granites at 95% compactness allows the materials to have a CBR that exceeds the value of 30% and can be used in the sub-base layer of road pavement. The addition of 30% granite allows the materials to record an unconfined compressive strength higher than 0.5-1.5 MPa, which corresponds to lateritic soil suitable for sub-base layer according to Messou [2]. After the addition of 30% granite, the materials record a Young's modulus greater than 300 MPa and can be used as a base layer. The assessment of the improvement of mechanical performance simultaneously based on the CBR, the Young's modulus, and the compressive strength showed the contradictory evolution of the results from these different parameters. A discussion was made on the relationship between these parameters. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-05-01 Full Text: PDF
Gum Arabic as an Admixture in Modified Concrete Mixed with Calcined Kaolin
Authors: Mouanda Garcia Frichnes M. , Abuodha Silverster O. , Thuo Joseph N. 
Published: June 2022

The use of calcined kaolin (CK) as a cementitious material in construction has attracted the interest of various researchers due to its environmental, mechanical, and physical qualities, all of which contribute to the lowering of cement usage. Studies have reported numerous problems associated with its use in concrete, apart from the ecological benefit that CK can provide. For instance, there is an issue of increased water demand due to smaller particle size, which generates much more heat in concrete, which has a detrimental effect on the mechanical and physical properties of concrete. This paper presents the analysis of an investigation aimed at using gum Arabic (GA) as a biopolymer admixture and calcined kaolin as a partial replacement of cement to improve the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. GA proportions ranged from 0 to 1% by weight of cement. Calcined kaolin (CK) was used to replace 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30% of the cement content, respectively. Compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, density, strength loss, and weight loss tests were all performed to validate the structural performance of the modified concrete. The compressive tests, performed after 28 days from the time the mixture was made, demonstrated that the maximum percentage of CK that could replace cement without affecting the mechanical properties of concrete was 20%. Beyond 20%, concrete does not exhibit good compressive strength properties. The results also revealed decreased compressive strength and splitting tensile strength tests as the percentage of CK increased. After 56 days, compressive strength at 5% CK and 10% CK increased slightly by 0.743% and 1.162 %, respectively, compared to the control sample. The inclusion of 0.8%GA increased the compressive strength by 8.94% compared to the control sample (0%CK + 0%GA + 100%OPC) after 56 days. The results of durability tests showed that 0.6% GA had a higher compressive strength than other percentages containing GA. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-05-010 Full Text: PDF
