The Authority of Interview in the Framework of Protecting Human Rights
Investigative actions including wiretapping must respect Human Rights (HAM) which provide justice for a person, as emphasized in Article 28 D paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution. This study aims to analyze and discover the reconstruction of wiretapping authority regulations in the context of protecting human rights based on the value of justice. The research method used is normative legal research, using the constructivism paradigm. The approach method used in this research is social legal research. This research uses primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques through literature studies, interviews and questionnaires. The data collected was analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study found that the reconstruction of the value of justice in wiretapping authority regulations is clear, complete, uniform, there is a judge's authority in assessing whether wiretapping is legal or not and wiretapping efforts are empowered to prevent criminal acts from occurring. As for the reconstruction of the legal norms of wiretapping authority in the context of protecting human rights based on the value of justice, namely Article 1, Article 77, and Article 79 and Article 81 of Law Number 8 of 1981 concerning Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), and the addition of provisions on empowering wiretapping for the purpose of preventing wiretapping criminal acts in Law Number 5 of 1997 concerning Psychotropics, Law Number 15 of 2003 concerning Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism, Law Number 30 of 2002 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission, Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons, Law Number 8 of 2007 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, and Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.

Posterior Bearing Overhang Following Medial and Lateral Mobile Bearing Unicompartmental Knee Replacements
This study explores the extent of bearing overhang following mobile bearing Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement (OUKR) (Oxford Phase 3, Zimmer Biomet). The Oxford components are designed to be fully congruent, however knee movements involve femoral rollback, which may result in bearing overhang at the posterior margin of the tibial implant, with potential implications for; pain, wear, and dislocation.
Movement is known to be greater, and therefore posterior overhang more likely to occur, with; lateral compared to medial implants, anterior cruciate ligament deficiency, and at extremes of movement.
24 medial, and 20 domed lateral, OUKRs underwent sagittal plane knee fluoroscopy during stepâup and forward lunge exercises. The bearing position was inferred from the relative position of the femoral and tibial components. Based on the individual component sizes and geometry the extent the posterior part of the bearing which overhung the posterior part of the tibial component was calculated.
There was no significant posterior overhang in knees with medial implants. Knees with lateral domed implants exhibited overhang at flexion angles beyond 60°, the magnitude of which increased with increasing flexion angle, reaching a maximum of 50% of the bearing length at 140° (range 0â140°). This demonstrates a clear difference between the kinematics, and prevalence and extent of posterior bearing overhang between medial and lateral OUKRs
Pencegahan Primer dan Sekunder Gagal Ginjal Terminal Gagal Ginjal Kronis Bukanlah Sebuah Petaka
Sengaja saya memilih judul orasi dengan tema Pencegahan Primer dan Sekunder pada Gagal Ginjal Terminal atau lebih dikenal dengan singkatan GGT bukanlah tanpa dasar alasan yang kuat. Sebagaimana diketahui apabila seseorang telah divonis menderita GGT, orang tersebut akan mengalami goncangan jiwa yang cukup kuat dan gegar jiwa yang cukup mendalam, karena penderita tahu persis bahwa harapan hidupnya tinggal melalui pertolongan cuci darah atau hemodialisis (HD) seumur hidupnya, atau harus menjalani pengobatan dengan cangkok ginjal. Penderita GGT yang tidak sanggup menjalani program pengobatan cuci darah atau cangkok ginjal jelas akan meninggal dunia. Bagi yang masih awam tentang beberapa istilah terminologi untuk penyakit ginjal, baiklah akan saya sampaikan sedikit wacana berikut ini. Gagal Ginjal Kronik (GG() adalah penyakit ginjal dengan penurunan fungsi ginjal yang disebabkan oleh berbagai penyakit ginjal kronik, yang berkembang secara progresif, dan menetap tidak pernah pulih kembali. Berdasarkan derajat penurunan fungsi ginjal yang diukur dengan tes klirens kreatinin (TKK), maka bila TKK mencapai nilai antara 55-25 ml/menit disebut insufisiensi ginjal kronik ( chronic renal insufficiency, CRl). Dikategorikan GGK (chronic renal failure, CRF) apabila nilai TKK sama atau kurang dari 25 ml/menit. Sedangkan apabila nilai TKK sama atau kurang dari 5 ml/ menit disebut gagal ginjal terminal/GGT (end stage renal disease, ESRD)
How long does a shoulder replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 10 years of follow-up
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this recordBackground: Shoulder replacement is an increasingly common treatment for end-stage degenerative shoulder conditions. Some shoulder replacements are unsuccessful and additional operations might be required. It is important for patients and clinicians to know how long shoulder replacements last and how effectively they reduce pain and improve function. This study aims to determine the longevity and long-term efficacy of shoulder replacements. Methods: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched MEDLINE and Embase from their inception to Sept 24, 2019, for case series and registry data reporting 10-year or longer survival of total shoulder replacements, humeral hemiarthroplasties, and reverse total shoulder replacements of a specific brand of implant. Survival, implant, and patient-reported outcome measures data were extracted. The primary outcome was implant survival. We reviewed and analysed national joint replacement registries separately. We weighted each series by SE and calculated a pooled survival estimate at years 10, 15, and 20. For patient-reported outcome measures we pooled the standardised mean difference at 10 years. This study is registered with PROSPERO, CRD42019140221. Findings: 927 non-duplicate articles were identified by our search, nine articles (reporting ten series) were eligible for analysis of survival and six articles were eligible for analysis of patient reported outcomes. The ten series reported all-cause survival of 529 total shoulder replacements and 364 humeral hemiarthroplasties; no series for reverse total shoulder replacement met the inclusion criteria. The estimated 10-year survival for total shoulder replacement was 94·6% (95% CI 93·6â97·6) and humeral hemiarthroplasties was 90·4% (87·0â94·0). A single registry contributed 7651 total shoulder replacements, 1395 humeral hemiarthroplasties, and 7953 reverse total shoulder replacements. The pooled registry 10-year survival was 92·0% (95% CI 91·0â93·0) for total shoulder replacement, 85·5% (83·3â87·7) for humeral hemiarthroplasties, and 94·4% (93·4â95·7) for patients with osteoarthritis who had reverse total shoulder replacement and 93·6% (91·1â95·8) for patients with rotator cuff arthropathy who had reverse total shoulder replacement. Pooled 10-year patient-reported outcome measures showed a substantial improvement from baseline scores, with a standardised mean difference of 2·13 (95% CI 1·93â2·34). Interpretation: Our data show that approximately 90% of shoulder replacements last for longer than 10 years and patient-reported benefits are sustained. Our findings will be of use to surgeons and patients in the informed consent process and to health-care providers for resource planning.

Frequency and outcomes of gastrostomy insertion in a longitudinal cohort study of atypical parkinsonism
\ua9 2024 The Authors. European Journal of Neurology published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of European Academy of Neurology.Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) show a high prevalence and rapid progression of dysphagia, which is associated with reduced survival. Despite this, the evidence base for gastrostomy is poor, and the optimal frequency and outcomes of this intervention are not known. We aimed to characterise the prevalence and outcomes of gastrostomy in patients with these three atypical parkinsonian disorders. Method: We analysed data from the natural history and longitudinal cohorts of the PROSPECT-M-UK study with up to 60 months of follow-up from baseline. Survival post-gastrostomy was analysed using KaplanâMeier survival curves. Results: In a total of 339 patients (mean age at symptom onset 63.3 years, mean symptom duration at baseline 4.6 years), dysphagia was present in >50% across all disease groups at baseline and showed rapid progression during follow-up. Gastrostomy was recorded as recommended in 44 (13%) and performed in 21 (6.2%; MSA 7, PSP 11, CBS 3) of the total study population. Median survival post-gastrostomy was 24 months compared with 12 months where gastrostomy was recommended but not done (p = 0.008). However, this was not significant when correcting for age and duration of symptoms at the time of procedure or recommendation. Conclusions: Gastrostomy was performed relatively infrequently in this cohort despite the high prevalence of dysphagia. Survival post-gastrostomy was longer than previously reported, but further data on other outcomes and clinician and patient perspectives would help to guide use of this intervention in MSA, PSP and CBS

Overview of electric energy distribution networks expansion planning
Planning of the electric distribution networks is complex and about upgrading the system to satisfy the demand and constraints with the best economic plan. The planning alternatives include the expansion of substations, installing new distributed generation (DG) facilities, upgrading distribution feeders, etc. In the modern networks, distribution planners must gain the confidence of the reversibility of the investment where renewable energy resources (RERs) inject clean and cost-effective electrical power to respond to the rising demand and satisfy environmental standards. This paper is an exhaustive review on the distribution network expansion planning (DEP) including the modelling of DEP (possible objective functions, problem constraints, different horizon time, and problem variables), optimization model (single/multi-objective), the expansion of distributed energy resources (DERs), problem uncertainties, etc. We discuss the requirements of integrated energy district master planning to avoid conflicts between the goal of independence of district planning on energy, e.g. heat and electricity, and that of dependencies on the local electric utilities regarding instant power balance and stability services. Finally, we describe the primary future R&D trends in the field of distribution network planning
Amoebic liver abscess â a cause of acute respiratory distress in an infant: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>The usual presentation of amebic liver abscess in children is extremely variable and unpredictable. It presents with a picture of common pediatric illness that is fever, lethargy, and abdominal pain, and can go on to develop into a rare complication of rupture into the pleura to cause acute respiratory distress, which is another common pediatric illness. In our patient, diagnosis was not made or suspected in these two stages.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>This is the report of a 2-year-old male infant who presented with a 2-week history of anorexia, fever, and abdominal pain. A few hours after admission, he suddenly developed acute respiratory distress; chest X-ray demonstrated massive right pleural effusion that failed to response to tube thoracostomy. Limited thoracotomy revealed a ruptured amebic liver abscess through the right cupola of the diaphragm. The content of the abscess was evacuated from the pleural cavity, which was drained with two large chest tubes. Serological examination confirmed the diagnosis of ruptured amebic liver abscess. Postoperative treatment with antibiotics including metronidazole continued until full recovery.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Diagnosis of such a rare disease requires a high degree of suspicion. In this patient, the diagnosis was only made postoperatively. The delay in presentation and the sudden onset of respiratory distress must be emphasized for all those physicians who care for children.</p
Studying Fake News via Network Analysis: Detection and Mitigation
Social media for news consumption is becoming increasingly popular due to its
easy access, fast dissemination, and low cost. However, social media also
enable the wide propagation of "fake news", i.e., news with intentionally false
information. Fake news on social media poses significant negative societal
effects, and also presents unique challenges. To tackle the challenges, many
existing works exploit various features, from a network perspective, to detect
and mitigate fake news. In essence, news dissemination ecosystem involves three
dimensions on social media, i.e., a content dimension, a social dimension, and
a temporal dimension. In this chapter, we will review network properties for
studying fake news, introduce popular network types and how these networks can
be used to detect and mitigation fake news on social media.Comment: Submitted as a invited book chapter in Lecture Notes in Social

Investigating the association between obesity and asthma in 6- to 8-year-old Saudi children:a matched case-control study
Background: Previous studies have demonstrated an association between obesity and asthma, but there remains considerable uncertainty about whether this reflects an underlying causal relationship. Aims: To investigate the association between obesity and asthma in pre-pubertal children and to investigate the roles of airway obstruction and atopy as possible causal mechanisms. Methods: We conducted an age- and sex-matched caseâcontrol study of 1,264 6- to 8-year-old schoolchildren with and without asthma recruited from 37 randomly selected schools in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. The body mass index (BMI), waist circumference and skin fold thickness of the 632 children with asthma were compared with those of the 632 control children without asthma. Associations between obesity and asthma, adjusted for other potential risk factors, were assessed separately in boys and girls using conditional logistic regression analysis. The possible mediating roles of atopy and airway obstruction were studied by investigating the impact of incorporating data on sensitisation to common aeroallergens and measurements of lung function. Results: BMI was associated with asthma in boys (odds ratio (OR)=1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08â1.20; adjusted OR=1.11, 95% CI, 1.03â1.19) and girls (OR=1.37, 95% CI, 1.26â1.50; adjusted OR=1.38, 95% CI, 1.23â1.56). Adjusting for forced expiratory volume in 1 s had a negligible impact on these associations, but these were attenuated following adjustment for allergic sensitisation, particularly in girls (girls: OR=1.25; 95% CI, 0.96â1.60; boys: OR=1.09, 95% CI, 0.99â1.19). Conclusions: BMI is associated with asthma in pre-pubertal Saudi boys and girls; this effect does not appear to be mediated through respiratory obstruction, but in girls this may at least partially be mediated through increased risk of allergic sensitisation
Effect of Sweet Wormwood Artemisia annua Crude Leaf Extracts on Some Biological and Physiological Characteristics of the Lesser Mulberry Pyralid, Glyphodes pyloalis
The lesser mulberry pyralid, Glyphodes pyloalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is a monophagous and dangerous pest of mulberry that has been recently observed in Guilan province, northern Iran. In this study, the crude methanol extract of sweet wormwood Artemisia annua L. (Asterales: Asteracaea) was investigated on toxicity, biological and physiological characteristics of this pest under controlled conditions (24 ± 1 °C, 75 ± 5% RH, and 16:8 L:D photoperiod). The effect of acute toxicity and sublethal doses on physiological characteristics was performed by topical application. The LC50 and LC20 values on fourth instar larvae were calculated as 0.33 and 0.22 gram leaf equivalent/ mL, respectively. The larval duration of fifth instar larvae in LC50 treatment was prolonged (5.8 ± 0.52 days) compared with the control group (4.26 ± 0.29 days). However larval duration was reduced in the LC20 treatment. The female adult longevity in the LC50 dose was the least (4.53 ± 0.3 days), while longevity among controls was the highest (9.2 ± 0.29 days). The mean fecundity of adults after larval treatment with LC50 was recorded as 105.6 ± 16.84 eggs/female, while the control was 392.74 ± 22.52 eggs/female. The percent hatchability was reduced in all treatments compared with the control. The effect of extract in 0.107, 0.053, 0.026 and 0.013 gle/mL on biochemical characteristics of this pest was also studied. The activity of α-amylase and protease 48 hours postâtreatment was significantly reduced compared with the control. Similarly lipase, esterase, and glutathione S-transferase activity were significantly affected by A. annua extract
