Optimalisasi Pemberian Bantuan Hukum Jaksa Pengacara Negara Pada Sengketa Tata Usaha Negara di Gorontalo

Eksistensi Jaksa Pengacara Negara dalam menjalankan kewenangannya, identik dengan kompetensinya di bidang pidana, sehingga dalam bidang hukum perdata dan hukum tata usaha negara seorang Jaksa dituntut harus memiliki kompetensi khusus di bidang hukum perdata dan hukum tata negara. Namun, keberadaan Jaksa Pengacara Negara di Kejaksaan Tinggi Gorontalo belum dijadikan sebagai kesempatan untuk mendapatkan bantuan hukum yang maksimal baik oleh pemerintah daerah Provinsi Gorontalo, instansi pemerintah maupun BUMN/BUMD yang ada di Provinsi Gorontalo. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui optimalisasi peran jaksa pengacara negara dalam pemberian bantuan hukum. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum yuridis sosiologis dengan menggunakan pendekatan kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peran Jaksa Pengacara Negara harus lebih dioptimalkan dalam menjalankan kedudukannya sebagai pihak yang menangani perkara perdata dan tata usaha negara yang ada di Provinsi Gorontalo sesuai dengan kewenangan yang dilimpahkan kepadanya melalui surat kuasa khusus yang telah diberikan kepadanya. Upaya mengoptimalkan peran Jaksa Pengacara Negara pada Kejaksaan Tinggi Gorontalo penerimaan surat permohonan bantuan hukum dari pemerintah daerah, instansi pemerintah maupun BUMN/BUMD dengan menempuh beberapa langkah yang dilakukan oleh Jaksa Pengacara Negara antara lain membuat telaahan awal atas permohonan bantuan tersebut; Bekerja secara profesional untuk menghindari adanya benturan kepentingan/konflik kepentingan; dan memberikan kepastian atau jawaban atas permohonan bantuan hukum tersebut dengan menyatakan menerima atau menolak permohonan tersebut

Numerical Study of the Effect of a Power-law Fluid Flow Structures on Levels of Mixing in a Taylor Couette Configuration

This work is a numerical study on the effects of the flow structures of the power-law fluid between two concentric cylinders with an upward laminar axial flow on levels of mixing and mean residence time through the Taylor Couette system. The cylindrical annular duct presents a radius ratio of 0.5 and an aspect ratio of 8. The inner cylinder is rotating while the outer one is kept at rest. The residence time distributions (R.T.D.) method and the mean residence time (Tm) are used to determine the number of tanks in series and the dispersion coefficient to evaluate levels of mixing. To this end, a pulsed input injection of a tracer is computing at the outlet of the annulus. As a main objective of this study, is to analyze the effect of the flow structure of a power-law fluid between two concentric cylinders on the mixing level and mean residence time in a Taylor Couette system. The novelty of our work is the use of power-law fluids as particles-carrying fluids. Several parameters, such as the axial Reynolds number (Re), the Taylor number (Ta), and the power-law index behavior (n), are used to show their impact on levels of mixing. It is shown that when n increases, the number of stirred tanks in series N increases for pseudoplastic fluids (n1), revealing high levels of mixing. The increase of the power-law index in the range of 0.61 increases the dispersion coefficient points to the well-mixing

Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome among Working Adults in Ethiopia

Objective. To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) III criteria among working East African adults. Design. This cross-sectional study of 1,935 individuals (1,171 men and 764 women) was conducted among working adults in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study was conducted in accordance with the STEPwise approach of the World Health Organization. Results. According to ATP III and IDF definitions, the overall prevalence of MetS was 12.5% and 17.9%, respectively. Using ATP III criteria, the prevalence of MetS was 10.0% in men and 16.2% in women. Application of the IDF criteria resulted in a MetS prevalence of 14.0% in men and 24.0% in women. The most common MetS components among women were reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) (23.2%) and abdominal obesity (19.6%); whilst reduced HDL-C concentrations (23.4%) and high blood pressure (21.8%) were most common among men. Conclusion. MetS and its individual components are prevalent among an apparently healthy working population in Ethiopia. These findings indicate the need for evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention programs; and more robust efforts directed towards the screening, diagnosis and management of MetS and its components among Ethiopian adults

Methyl 2-(2,2,4-trimethyl-6-tosyl­perhydro-1,3-dioxino[5,4-c]pyridin-5-yl)acetate

The title compound, C20H29NO6S, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, with similar conformations. The dioxane and pyridine rings adopt twist conformations in both mol­ecules. The packing is stabilized by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

Implementation of Database for Texas Department of Transportation American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Projects

Report discussing projects initiated under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), a fiscal stimulus package signed by President Obama on March 6, 2009. State agencies like the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) who received ARRA funds had to report, on a monthly basis, various data on each project in the ARRA program, including staff numbers, hours worked, and payroll. TxDOT asked the Center for Transportation Research (CTR) to identify and isolate specific elements of the 0-6592 database that TxDOT's Construction Division (CST) can implement into an existing TxDot database. This report describes the implementation of the database and procedures for updating it

Effect of sodium hydroxide and alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment on physical and chemical characteristics and IVOMD of mustard straw

Abstract Mustard straw (MS) was soaked for 6 h in the solutions containing 0% (S 0 ), 1% (S 1 ) or 2% (S 2 ) sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 0% (H 0 ) or 1.5% (H 1 ) hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) following a 3Â2 factorial design. The pH of the untreated MS (near neutral) was increased to more than 10 after treatment with NaOH (S 1 H 0 and S 2 H 0 ) or alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP; S 1 H 1 and S 2 H 1 ). The treatment effect on tenacity was not signi®cant. The NDF and ADF contents of MS increased signi®cantly (p<0.01) in the treatment S 0 H 1 , whereas these decreased signi®cantly (p<0.01) in the treatments S 2 H 0 and S 2 H 1 . However, the change in NDF and ADF was not signi®cant in S 0 H 0 , S 1 H 0 and S 1 H 1 treatments. The content of both NDF and ADF decreased linearly (p<0.01) with increasing level of NaOH in the soaking medium. The effect of various treatments on cellulose content was almost similar to that of NDF and ADF. The acid detergent lignin content of MS increased signi®cantly (p<0.01) in case of S 1 H 0 , S 0 H 1 and S 1 H 1 but the differences were not signi®cant among UMS, S 0 H 0 , S 2 H 0 and S 2 H 1 . The IVOMD content of untreated MS was 162 g kg À1 DM and it increased signi®cantly (p<0.01) when straw was soaked in S 1 H 0 , S 2 H 0 , S 1 H 1 and S 2 H 1 , whereas it reduced slightly due to either water (S 0 H 0 ) or H 2 O 2 (S 0 H 1 ) treatment. With the increasing level of NaOH, the IVOMD improved signi®cantly (p<0.01). It is concluded that the cell wall constituents and IVOMD of MS were modi®ed by NaOH with or without H 2 O 2 in a way that in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) of treated MS was 82±112% units higher than untreated MS. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
