UJI DAYA ADAPTASI BEBERAPA VARIETAS BAWANG PUTIH (Allium sativum L.) DI KABUPATEN PESISIR SELATAN

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is one of the important commodities in the horticultural sub-sector which is one of the basic needs of the community that must be fulfilled. However, garlic production in Indonesia has not been able to meet the demands of society's needs. For this reason, an additional area of land for garlic development is aimed at the optimal suitability of environmental physical factors. The use of superior varieties is one of the technologies that play a role in increasing the productivity of garlic. This research was conducted in May - August 2020 in Tarusan and Muaro Aie Bayang Utara, Pesisir Selatan Regency, West Sumatra Province with a randomized block design using Lumbu Hijau, Lumbu Kuning and local varieties of Bukik Sileh Solok as treatment. The results showed that the varieties of Lumbu Kuning and Lumbu Hijau were able to adapt well in Muaro Aie with an altitude of 322 masl compared to Tarusan with an altitude of 4 masl. Both varieties gave a fairly good growth response and yield, although only half of the description of these varieties.

Respon Pertumbuhan Bunga Matahari di Lahan Pesisir Pantai pada Aplikasi Beberapa Dosis Mikoriza dan Kompos Maggot

Bunga matahari termasuk salah satu jenis komoditi pertanian yang mempunyai potensi besar untuk dikembangkan. Hal ini bukan tanpa alasan karena setiap bagian dari bunga matahari dapat digunakan untuk makanan, pakan ternak, bahan baku industri, kecantikan dan obat-obatan. Saat ini pengembangan bunga matahari telah bergeser ke penggunaan lahan marginal seperti lahan pesisir namun memiliki banyak permasalahan. Untuk itu perlu dilakukan berbagai inovasi dan penerapan teknologi. Salah satunya adalah penggunaan mikoriza dan kompos maggot. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui respon pertumbuhan bunga matahari di lahan pesisir pantai pada aplikasi beberapa dosis mikoriza dan kompos maggot. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan rancangan acak kelompok secara faktorial dengan 4 taraf pada masing-masing perlakuan dan diulang sebanyak 3 kali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi dosis mikoriza dan dosis kompos maggot yang diberikan akan berbanding lurus terhadap pertumbuhan bunga matahari pada lahan pesisir pantai

AV nodal ablation in atrial fi brillation

Atrial fibrillation has reached epidemic proportions and is associated with important increases in mortality and morbidity. This increased risk is most prominent in patients with heart failure. Apart from anticoagulation, therapeutic approaches are: attempts (mainly pharmacological) at rhythm control (attainment and preservation of sinus rhythm) or rate control, which focuses on attaining an acceptable ventricular rate. The latter can be reliably and easily attained by ablation of the AV node and pacing. Long-term (up to 120 months) results of AV nodal ablation and pace are reviewed in 147 patients with NYHA Grade III or IV heart failure and atrial fibrillation and presented. This analysis indicates that AV node ablation is an effective form of therapy since prognosis after AV node ablation relates entirely to the underlying illness and not the atrial fibrillatio

Edge-dependent reflection and inherited fine structure of higher-order plasmons in graphene nanoribbons

We investigate higher-order plasmons in graphene nanoribbons, and present how electronic edge states and wavefunction fine structure influence the graphene plasmons. Based on nearest-neighbor tight-binding calculations, we find that a standing-wave model based on nonlocal bulk plasmon dispersion is surprisingly accurate for armchair ribbons of widths even down to a few nanometers, and we determine the corresponding phase shift upon edge reflection and an effective ribbon width. Wider zigzag ribbons exhibit a similar phase shift, whereas the standing-wave model describes few-nanometer zigzag ribbons less satisfactorily, to a large extent because of their edge states. We directly confirm that also the larger broadening of plasmons for zigzag ribbons is due to their edge states. Furthermore, we report a prominent fine structure in the induced charges of the ribbon plasmons, which for armchair ribbons follows the electronic wavefunction oscillations induced by inter-valley coupling. Interestingly, the wavefunction fine structure is also found in our analogous density-functional theory calculations, and both these and tight-binding numerical calculations are explained quite well with analytical Dirac theory for graphene ribbons

Emergent scale invariance of non-classical plasmons in graphene nanoribbons

Using a nearest-neighbor tight-binding model we investigate quantum effects of plasmons on few-nanometer wide graphene nanoribbons, both for zigzag and armchair edge terminations. With insight from the Dirac description we find an emerging scale-invariant behavior that deviates from the classical model both for zigzag and armchair structures. The onset of the deviation can be related to the position of the lowest parabolic band in the band structure. Dirac theory is only valid in the parameter subspace where the scale invariance holds that relates narrow ribbons with high doping to wide ribbons with low doping. We also find that the edge states present in zigzag ribbons give rise to a blueshift of the plasmon, in contrast to earlier findings for graphene nanodisks and nanotriangles

Opportunities and Challenges Seeking Accountability for War Crimes in Palestine Under the International Criminal Court\u27s Complementarity Regime

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is currently conducting a preliminary examination of the situation in Palestine, involving allegations against Israeli authorities and military personnel as well as what the Prosecutor refers to as “Palestinian armed groups.” The preliminary examination creates a framework for advancing accountability norms in the Palestinian context and globally for international crimes committed by States with significant resources. However, the road to accountability is anything but straightforward. Indeed, several challenges relating both to the applicable legal framework and broader policy issues, could delay—or potentially even undermine—the accountability process, if not properly understood and managed. One particularly important issue addressed in this Article relates to the ICC’s complementarity regime whereby the Court can only proceed with cases that are not subject to active and genuine investigation or prosecution domestically. Whereas this principle is usually seen as something that intrinsically advances accountability norms, this Article questions whether this is necessarily the case in situations involving global and regional powers. The Article makes three overarching arguments that advance our understanding of international criminal justice, in particular accountability for violations by states with significant resources. First, whereas the ICC is increasingly scrutinizing the actions of states with significant resources and seems willing to proceed with investigating highly sensitive situations, there are substantial challenges associated with achieving accountability for crimes committed by such states. Second, even if there are important variations in government responses, states with significant resources tend to take ICC intervention seriously, and there is some evidence that ICC interventions impact their behavior, although such change in behavior is not necessarily to the benefit of accountability. Third—and related to both of the above arguments—despite being typically viewed as something inherently “good” in terms of advancing accountability norms, the ICC’s complementarity regime often presents challenges for advancing accountability in situations involving states with significant resources
