Open mirror symmetry for Pfaffian Calabi-Yau 3-folds

We investigate the open mirror symmetry of certain non-complete intersection Calabi- Yau 3-folds, so called pfaffian Calabi-Yau. We perform the prediction of the number of disk invariants of several examples by using the direct integration method proposed recently and the open mirror symmetry. We treat several pfaffian Calabi-Yau 3-folds in $\mathbb{P}^6$ and branes with two discrete vacua. Some models have the two special points in its moduli space, around both of which we can consider different A-model mirror partners. We compute disc invariants for both cases. This study is the first application of the open mirror symmetry to the compact non-complete intersections in toric variety.Comment: 64 pages; v2: typos corrected, minor changes, references added; v3: published version, minor corrections and improvement

Trans-sinusal frontal approach for olfactory groove meningiomas

Background We report on our experience with the trans-sinusal frontal approach in removing olfactory groove meningiomas in the department of neurosurgery of Univesity Hospital Center of Annaba (Algeria).Methods Ten tumours were operated on by the trans-sinusal frontal approach, using a bicoronal incision, tree tumours developed on one side, and there were seven bilateral olfactosellar tumours. Our procedure : steotomy of the anterior wall of the frontal sinus was performed with an oscillating saw. The posterior wall of the sinus was resected and the tumour was removed through a real subfrontal route along the plane of the anterior skull base. Ethmoidal blood supply was early controlled at the initial stages of the operation, allowing avascular tumour debulking. Tumour extensions toward the sella and the optic canals were removed without brain retraction. Results Seven patients made a good neurologic recovery. Two was dead in the 24 hours after intervention and one four days after. Olfactory nets were preserved on the contralateral side in unilateral tumours. Conclusions The trans-sinusal frontal approach represents an excellent way for tumours developed in the central anterior skull base, especially for olfactory groove meningiomas, whatever their size

Implementasi dan Pengaturan Illicit Enrichment (Peningkatan Kekayaan secara Tidak Sah) di Indonesia

Undang-undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 jo Undang-undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang tindak Pidana Korupsi masih menyisahkan celah hukum bagi penjahat pengemplang uang dan kekayaan Negara. Meski saat ini lembaga KPK (Komisi Pemberatasan Korupsi) sudah secara maksimal melakukan tindakan pencegahan (preventif) dan penindakan (Represif), para penjahat ini masih dapat mengakali peraturan Perundang-undangan dan mengerus keuangan Negara untuk memperkaya diri dan kelompoknya. Berdasarkan itu, Pengaturan Illicit Enrichment (Kekayaan yang tidak wajar) sebagaimana diatur dalam pasal 20 UNCAC merupakan hal penting untuk ditindaklanjuti oleh Indonesia sebagai Negara peserta Konvensi ini. Saat ini, dari 193 Negara yang ada di dunia, setidaknya sudah ada 44 negara yang memiliki intrumen hukum setingkat UU tentang Illicit Enrichment. 39 Negara dari 44 tersebut mengenakan sanksi kurungan atau penjara, seperti Cina, India,Malaysia, Brunei, Makao, Bangladesh, dan Mesir
