Eksistensi Lembaga Bantuan Hukum sebagai Perwujudan Asas Equality Before The Law

This study discusses the existence of Legal Aid Institutions in providing legal assistance, and the implementation of the provision of legal assistance to the community so as to realize the principle of equality before the law. Research locus was conducted in South Sulawesi Province (LBH Makassar, PBHI) and in Gorontalo Province (LBH FSE Sultan Amai Gorontalo IAIN, LBH Ichsan, YLBHI). The results showed that the existence of Legal Aid Institutions can provide satisfaction and a positive response from the community who consider that when dealing with the law it must be expensive but with the existence of legal aid institutions the poor can get free legal services at no cost, but there are still many poor who do not yet know about the existence of facilities and containers provided by the State in terms of providing free legal assistance. The implementation of legal assistance which is the goal of legal aid agencies for the poor has been carried out well even though in the field implementation many obstacles have been encountered in maximizing legal aid services at the research sites

Lokus penelitian dilakukan di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan (LBH Makassar, PBHI) dan di Provinsi Gorontalo (LBH FSE IAIN Sultan Amai Gorontalo, LBH Ichsan, YLBHI ). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan Lembaga Bantuan Hukum dapat memberikan rasa puas dan respon positif dari masyarakat yang menganggap bahwa ketika berhadapan dengan hukum harus membutuhkan biaya yang mahal namun dengan adanya lembaga bantuan hukum masyarakat miskin dapat memperoleh pelayan hukum gratis tanpa biaya, namun masih banyak masyarakat miskin yang belum mengetahui akan adanya sarana dan wadah yang diberikan Negara dalam hal pemberian bantuan hukum secara gratis ini. Pelaksanaan bantuan hukum yang menjadi tujuan dari lembaga bantuan hukum bagi masyarakat miskin telah dilaksanakan dengan baik meskipun dalam pelaksanaan di lapangan banyak ditemukan kendala yang dihadapi dalam memaksimalkan pelayanan bantuan hukum di lokasi penelitian

Performance of Microencapsulated Fungicide in Exterior Latex Paint on Wood Substrate

3-iodo-2-propynyl butyl carbamate (IPBC) was encapsulated by in situ polymerization of urea formaldehyde resin of crosslink (formaldehyde: urea) ratios 1 and 2. The leaching rate of the microcapsules was reduced compared to the free fungicide. Microcapsules prepared at the higher urea formaldehyde cross ink ratio gave a lower leaching rate. Two concentrations based on the weight of the active ingredient per volume of paint (a.i.lv) of 0.3 % and 1 % of microcapsules or free IPBC were incorporated into exterior latex paint and applied onto rubber wood panels. The panels were then exposed to the environment. A longer protection from discoloration was provided by the encapsulated IPBC of 1% concentration

Flood disaster indicator of water level monitoring system

The early warning systems for flood management have been developed rapidly with the growth of technologies. These system help to alert people early with the used of Short Message Service (SMS) via Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM). This paper presents a simple, portable and low cost of early warning system using Arduino board, which is used to control the whole system and GSM shields to send the data. System has been designed and implemented based on two components which is hardware and software. The model determines the water level using float switch sensors, then it analyzes the collected data and determine the type of danger present. The detected level is translated into an alert message and sent to the user. The GSM network is used to connect the overall system units via SMS

Case-control retrospective study on cardiovascular disease risk and quality of life among Malay adults

In recent years, cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become the top cause of mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization in Malaysia. This study aimed to identify the most significant CVD risk factor and protective factor among Malay adults in Kuala Terengganu, as well as to compare the quality of life between case and control groups. A case-control study via self-administered questionnaire was carried out among 130 respondents aged 23 to 56 years in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) and Nursing College Kuala Terengganu to compare past exposure (retrospective) between case and control groups to CVD risk. In the present study, 68 of them were in a case group with high blood cholesterol (total cholesterol [TC] > 5.18 mmol/L), while the other 62 were in a control group with the normal range of blood cholesterol (total cholesterol [TC] < 5.18 mmol/L). Purposive sampling was first applied to select the respondents in Kuala Terengganu. Then, consecutive sampling and quota sampling were performed in the study locations to recruit respondents, considering the type of respondents (case or control group) as a factor. The data were analysed using Independent-Samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-Square test and odds ratio (OR). The findings show no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the two groups in terms of CVD risk factors. However, by comparing the food frequency consumption scores, their fish consumption levels were found to be significantly different (p = 0.010). The control group had higher consumption (with a score of 60.8) compared to the case group (with a score of 50.8). Overweight or obesity was the only significant risk factor (OR: 2.13, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06 to 4.29), while the only significant protective factor was the absence of any chronic diseases (OR: 0.00, 95% CI: 0.00 to 0.03), which were found to be associated with CVD, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus and stroke. Furthermore, the quality of life of the control group was higher than that of the case group, but this difference was not significant (p > 0.05). Overweight or obesity is a major risk factor of CVD, while the absence of any chronic diseases is a major protector factor

Papillary Carcinoma Thyroid in a Nine-year-old Child: A Case Report

Thyroid enlargement and nodules are very rare in children, but when they occur, the chance of malignancy among these nodules is very high. Thyroid carcinoma is rare in childhood, but in the last two decades, its incidence has increased two-fold. A painless nodule in the neck is the most common presentation of the disease. Dysphagia, hoarseness, cervical lymphadenopathy, weight loss, and fatigue are other presentations. Surgical resection is the primary therapy for thyroid cancer. Levothyroxine and Iodine-131 (I131) are usually used as adjunctive therapy. This article presents the case of a 9-year-old girl who referred to our center with the chief complaint of a neck mass. Her symptoms had begun 6 months earlier

Using dynamic transmission map for dehazing single image with tropical atmospheric condition

Ordinarily, outdoor pictures are degraded through light scattering and absorption from the atmosphere's dust, mist, haze, and smoke. These have an effect on the image captured and cause terrible visibility, dimmed luminosity, low contrast, and coloration distortion. Therefore, it is essential for dehazing to restore photographs captured in inclement weather. The critical intention of photo dehazing is to enhance the details on visibility, edge, and texture and retain the structure and colours of the picture without data loss. Many algorithmic methods, introduce dehazing at a certain haze level. There is a lack of a dehazing algorithm focusing on the varying haze density in order to enhance visibility. This paper proposes an improvement of the dehazing algorithm based totally on the varying meteorological visibility with a dynamic transmission map. This algorithm focuses on removing haze at different levels based on the visibility range, which is different from most existing dehazing algorithms

Single image dehazing based upon visibility range through synthetic haze simulation

Outdoor images are typically degraded by light scattering and absorption from aerosols, such as dust, mist, and smoke in the atmosphere. Image dehazing aims to improve details on visibility, edge, and texture and retain image structure and colours without data loss. Most of the current hazy database presented in a single image simulated synthetic haze indicated complicated calculation of the depth map. This paper presents a new dataset that includes image pairs of hazy and corresponding outdoor images that are haze-free (ground-truth). On a clear day as referred to as a low Air Pollutant Index, this experiment simulated synthetic synthetic haze in the Malaysian outdoor scene. The haze simulation illustrates how this approach can lead to better outcomes in the measurement of image quality than the current state-of-the-art dehazing method
