Juridical Review Of Authority Overlapping Issues In Law Enforcement In Marine And Coastal Area
Indonesia is an archipelagic country. It has the consequence that there is a need for a security system for marine and coastal areas through law enforcement policies in marine and coastal areas that are truly balanced and evenly distributed. However, in its development, law enforcement in marine and coastal areas often has problems, one of which is each related agency’s overlapping authority. This writing aims to analyze the juridical review of overlapping authority in law enforcement in marine and coastal areas. The method used in this paper is sociological juridical. From the research results, it was found that the implementation of law enforcement in marine and coastal areas is marked by the overlapping authority between 14 (fourteen) ministries / state institutions mandated by 18 (eighteen) laws as law enforcement officers in marine areas. And the beach. This overlap of authority is indicated by the existence of equal powers to carry out surveillance, chasing, and investigations in the marine area and Indonesia’s jurisdiction. Based on the description above, the description of the fragmentation dimension is sufficient to represent a substantial reason for law enforcement authorities’ miscoordination in marine and coastal areas. The real form due to the fragmentation dimension can be seen in the failure of communication established by law enforcers in marine and coastal areas. As a result of mentioned problems above, the budget is a waste that results in losses to state finances
Støyutbredelse ved vindkraftverk med "typisk norsk" topografi
NVE har fått utarbeidet en rapport om støyvirkninger for bebyggelse fra vindturbiner i typisk norsk terreng. Ifølge rapporten kan vindturbiner plassert i landskap med store høydeforskjeller, bart fjell og bebyggelse plassert i dalbunnene under vindturbinene gi andre støyvirkninger enn det som er normalt i flate landskap
The Influence of Emotional Intelligence and Inhibitory Control on Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Mediated by Mathematics Anxiety: A Case Study in a 10th-Grade Class at SMA Kemala Bhayangkari
This study is a study aimed at investigating the influence of emotional intelligence and inhibitory control on mathematical problem-solving ability, with math anxiety as an intervening variable. It is a quantitative, ex post facto research that uses questionnaires and tests as research instruments. The study involved 28 students as subjects. The analytical technique used in this study was path analysis. The study results are as follows: (1) There was no significant influence of emotional intelligence on mathematical problem-solving skills, with a p-value = 0,308. (2) There was no significant influence of inhibitory control on mathematical problem-solving skills, with a p-value = 0,956. (3) There was no significant influence of math anxiety on mathematical problem-solving skills, with a p-value = 0,743. (4) There was no significant influence of emotional intelligence on math anxiety, with a p-value = 0,184. (5) There is no significant influence of inhibitory control on math anxiety, with a p-value = 0,701. (6) There was no significant influence of emotional intelligence on mathematical problem-solving skills through math anxiety, with a p-value = 0,804. (7) There was no significant influence of inhibitory control on mathematical problem-solving skills through math anxiety, with a p-value = 0,914
Tree diversity at Payeh Maga Montane Forest, Sarawak, Borneo
Tree species composition and diversity were determined at 1,600 m Payeh Maga Highland in Lawas, Sarawak, Borneo. Five study plots (20 x 20 m) were established at five transect lines (1 ha). The study shows that the forest was represented by 40 families, 68 genera and 151 species. Fagaceae represented 26 % of the families recorded, followed by Myrtaceae (16 %) and Clusiaceae (12 %) which are a typical family of montane forest in this region. Important Value Index (IV) showed Lithocarpus urceolaris as the most important species (IV=294 %), followed by Gymnostoma sumatranum (IV=273 %) and Tristaniopsis microcarpa (IV=194 %). There are no significant differences among transects for number of species and diversity indices. This forest is important for biodiversity conservation as it is as rich as those reported for lowland forests elsewhere in this region. The continued accumulation of species is an indication that this highland could support and provide habitat for larger tree species communities
Sex Differences in Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis after Adenoviral Vaccination against COVID-19
INTRODUCTION
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis associated with vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (CVST-VITT) is a severe disease with high mortality. There are few data on sex differences in CVST-VITT. The aim of our study was to investigate the differences in presentation, treatment, clinical course, complications, and outcome of CVST-VITT between women and men.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
We used data from an ongoing international registry on CVST-VITT. VITT was diagnosed according to the Pavord criteria. We compared the characteristics of CVST-VITT in women and men.
RESULTS
Of 133 patients with possible, probable, or definite CVST-VITT, 102 (77%) were women. Women were slightly younger [median age 42 (IQR 28-54) vs 45 (28-56)], presented more often with coma (26% vs 10%) and had a lower platelet count at presentation [median (IQR) 50x109/L (28-79) vs 68 (30-125)] than men. The nadir platelet count was lower in women [median (IQR) 34 (19-62) vs 53 (20-92)]. More women received endovascular treatment than men (15% vs 6%). Rates of treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins were similar (63% vs 66%), as were new venous thromboembolic events (14% vs 14%) and major bleeding complications (30% vs 20%). Rates of good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2, 42% vs 45%) and in-hospital death (39% vs 41%) did not differ.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS
Three quarters of CVST-VITT patients in this study were women. Women were more severely affected at presentation, but clinical course and outcome did not differ between women and men. VITT-specific treatments were overall similar, but more women received endovascular treatment
Pharmacodynamic evaluation of commonly prescribed oral antibiotics against respiratory bacterial pathogens
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Upper and lower respiratory tract infections (RTIs) account for a substantial portion of outpatient antibiotic utilization. However, the pharmacodynamic activity of commonly used oral antibiotic regimens has not been studied against clinically relevant pathogens. The objective of this study was to assess the probability of achieving the requisite pharmacodynamic exposure for oral antibacterial regimens commonly prescribed for RTIs in adults against bacterial isolates frequently involved in these processes (<it>S. pneumoniae</it>, <it>H. influenzae</it>, and <it>M. catharralis</it>).</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Using a 5000-subject Monte Carlo simulation, the cumulative fractions of response (CFR), (i.e., probabilities of achieving requisite pharmacodynamic targets) for the most commonly prescribed oral antibiotic regimens, as determined by a structured survey of medical prescription patterns, were assessed against local respiratory bacterial isolates from adults in São Paulo collected during the same time period. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 230 isolates of <it>Streptococcus pneumoniae </it>(103), <it>Haemophilus influenzae </it>(98), and <it>Moraxella catharralis </it>(29) from a previous local surveillance were used.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The most commonly prescribed antibiotic regimens were azithromycin 500 mg QD, amoxicillin 500 mg TID, and levofloxacin 500 mg QD, accounting for 58% of the prescriptions. Varied doses of these agents, plus gatifloxacin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, moxifloxacin, and cefaclor made up the remaining regimens. Utilizing aggressive pharmacodynamic exposure targets, the only regimens to achieve greater than 90% CFR against all three pathogens were amoxicillin/amoxicillin-clavulanate 500 mg TID (> 91%), gatifloxacin 400 mg QD (100%), and moxifloxacin 400 mg QD (100%). Considering <it>S. pneumoniae </it>isolates alone, azithromycin 1000 mg QD also achieved greater than 90% CFR (91.3%).</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The only regimens to achieve high CFR against all three pathogen populations in both scenarios were gatifloxacin 400 mg QD, moxifloxacin 400 mg QD, and amoxicillin-clavulanate 500 mg TID. These data suggest the need for reconsideration of empiric antibiotic regimen selection among adult patients with RTIs in the São Paulo area. Additionally, this type of study could be used to optimize prescribing patterns in specific regions in light of emerging resistance.</p
