    Pengaturan Hukum Mengenai Pemalsuan Uang Rupiah Menurut Pasal 244 Sampai Dengan Pasal 252 Kuhp

    Get PDF
    Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaturan hukum mengenai tindak pidana pemalsuan uang rupiah menurut Pasal 244 sampai dengan Pasal 252 KUHP dan bagaimana tindak pidana pemalsuan uang rupiah menurut Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 tentang Mata Uang. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif, disimpulkan: 1. Ketentuan tindak pidana pemalsuan uang yang diatur dalam Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana belum mengatur secara komprehensif jenis perbuatan tersebut dan sanksi yang diancamkan. Oleh karena itu ketentuan-ketentuan hukum mengenai tindak pidana pemalsuan uang disempurnakan dalam Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 tentang Mata Uang. 2.Tindak pidana pemalsuan uang rupiah menurut Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 7 Tahun 2011 tentang Mata Uang telah diatur secara lebih lengkap dan terinci sebagaimana diatur dalam Pasal 33 sampai dengan Pasal 41 pengaturan mengenai ketentuan pidana terkait masalah penggunaan, peniruan, Perusakan, dan pemalsuan Rupiah

    Effect of Salinity on Glycogen Content in the Brine Shrimp, Artemia salinas, of Great Salt Lake

    The brine shrimp, Artemia salinas, is one of the few organisms to be found in the hostile environment of the Great Salt Lake. Salt concentrations in the lake are found to exceed those in the oceans. In such an environment, the utilization of energy, even after it has been procured, presents a problem. The life inhabiting the lake has developed extraordinary adaptations to this and similar problems. Electron micrographs produced by Dr. Nabil Youssef of Utah State University have revealed that unusual quantities of glycogen can be found in the muscle of brine shrimp taken from the Great Salt Lake. The glycogen was found to be associated in large packets rather than being dispersed in small quantities throughout the tissue. It was al so observed that the mitochondria were small, a tendency that might indicate anaerobic rather than aerobic respiration. These observations led to the initiation of this project. Samples of Artemia were collected from the Great Salt Lake and analyzed for glycogen content in an effort to determine the effect of salinity on the mode of respiration

    The Energy Spectrum of Jovian Electrons in Interplanetary Space

    The energy spectrum of electrons with energies approx 10 to approx 180 MeV measured with the electron telescope on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft in interplanetary space from 1978 to 1983 is studied. The kinetic energy of electrons is determined by double dE/dx measurements from the first two detectors (D sub 1, D sub 2) of a stack of eight solid state detectors and by the range of particle penetration into the remaining six detectors (D sub 3 to D sub 8) which are interleaved with tungsten absorbers. From 1978 to 1983 (radial range approximately 2 to a pproximately 12 AU) electrons of Jovian origin were clearly observable for electrons stopping in D(sub 3(E approximately greater than 4 MeV)) and in D(sub 4 (E approximately greater than 8 MeV)). For electrons stopping in D(sub 5(E approximately greather than 12 MeV)), the jovian flux dominated the galactic electron flux for a period of approximately one year near the encounter with Jupiter. Jovian electrons were also observed in D(sub 6(E approximately greater than 21 MeV)) but not in D(sub 7(E approximately greater than 28 MeV)). A detailed interpretation of the electron variations in all energy channels depends on an accurate subtraction of background induced by energetic protons of a few 100 MeV. This substraction is facilitated by laboratory calibration results at several energies. Further results on the differential energy spectrum of Jovian electrons and limits on the maximum detected energies will be reported

    Notes on Newton-Krylov based Incompressible Flow Projection Solver

    The purpose of the present document is to formulate Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov algorithm for approximate projection method used in Hydra-TH code. Hydra-TH is developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) under the auspices of the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light-Water Reactors (CASL) for thermal-hydraulics applications ranging from grid-to-rod fretting (GTRF) to multiphase flow subcooled boiling. Currently, Hydra-TH is based on the semi-implicit projection method, which provides an excellent platform for simulation of transient single-phase thermalhydraulics problems. This algorithm however is not efficient when applied for very slow or steady-state problems, as well as for highly nonlinear multiphase problems relevant to nuclear reactor thermalhydraulics with boiling and condensation. These applications require fully-implicit tightly-coupling algorithms. The major technical contribution of the present report is the formulation of fully-implicit projection algorithm which will fulfill this purpose. This includes the definition of non-linear residuals used for GMRES-based linear iterations, as well as physics-based preconditioning techniques

    Practices of professionals providing services to children with autism spectrum disorders: Testing the theory of planned behavior in predicting use of evidence-based interventions and family-centered care

    Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are chronic and pervasive developmental disorders; children with ASDs require more multidisciplinary services than children with other developmental, behavioral, and emotional disorders (Kogan et al., 2008). Little research has been done on the practices and perspectives of the professionals providing services to children with ASDs. Evidence-based practice (combining use of evidence-based interventions [EBIs], family-centered care [FCC] respecting patient/family values, and clinical expertise) leads to the best outcomes for children with ASDs (APA Presidential Task Force on Evidence-Based Practice, 2006). The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which psychological constructs (attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control) within the Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1991) are helpful for understanding the behavior of professionals in regards to two areas of evidence-based practice: recommending and/or providing EBIs and using a FCC approach to care with children with ASDs. Professionals (N=709) providing direct services to children with ASDs were recruited from different disciplines (Education, Medicine/Nursing, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Psychology, Social Work, Speech Language Pathology/Audiology) and were asked to fill out an Internet or paper survey including measures on TPB constructs and EBI and FCC behavior. Participants were recruited from a convenience Internet sample and a stratified random sample of online provider listings (from professional and autism-specific organizations). Professionals’ attitudes and familiarity with EBIs significantly predicted their self-reported recommendation and provision of EBIs in the positive direction. Professionals’ attitudes, perceived-behavioral control, and years in practice significantly predicted self-reported use of an FCC approach with children with ASDs in the positive direction. There was a trend for explicit training on EBI or FCC to predict professionals’ behavior, but these findings did not reach conventional levels of significance. Subjective norms did not significantly predict EBI or FCC behavior. Discipline membership did not moderate the relationship between TPB and EBI and FCC self-reported behavior measures. The TPB is a useful framework for better understanding professionals’ evidence-based practice behavior. This study sheds light on practices and perspectives of professionals working with children with ASDs and highlights areas for future research and training with this population
