The deponering of criminal cases is one of the Attorney General powers to not prosecute. Deponering is the implementation of the opportunity principle given by law to the Attorney General as a public prosecutor to deponering cases for public interest. The opportunity principle allows the public prosecutor not to prosecute an alleged criminal act with public interest as background because it is feared that by prosecuting it will cause more harm than not suing. This research wants to see whether the deponering of cases in the public interest based on the opportunity principle; what are the limitations in the public interest for the deponering of criminal cases (seponering); and what are the juridical consequences of deponering the case.

The Indonesian government's deradicalization program, which was developed and implemented using both a complex and a gentle approach, was not optimal. The government requires mass organizations such as Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah's involvement in overcoming radicalism through collaborative governance. The purpose of this study is to define the roles of Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah and to analyze their positions from the perspective of collective governance. This qualitative research drew on two distinct types of data sources: primary and secondary. By collecting these types of data, we became the primary instruments in this study. The data were then analyzed using content analysis techniques to arrive at the following conclusion: 1) As members of civil society, Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah are critical in preventing radicalism because they comprehend Ahlussunnah wal Jama'ah, the code of conduct that all of Islam's adherents adhere to in order to demonstrate Islam's peaceful face. Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah also use their organizational structure, movement, and responsiveness to various issues to combat radicalism. Additionally, the educational network of Islamic boarding schools, regular schools, madrasas, and universities under two has developed into a breeding ground for the moderate Islamic generation; 2) Although Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah have participated in various government-sponsored programs, this has not yet been classified as government collaboration.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) are property rights that originate or are born as a result of human intellectual capabilities. With the emergence of use values and economic rewards, a thinking or conception regarding the need of legal protection for human outcomes or intellectual works develops. The term "law of confidence" refers to the legislation that evolved as a framework for protecting secret information (confidence). Trade secret violations occur when someone deliberately divulges trade secrets, breaches agreements, or violates written or unwritten responsibilities to maintain trade secrets. Owners of economically valuable technology or company knowledge are more likely to register their rights as trade secrets than patents or copyright protection. Article 5 paragraph (1), letter d of the Trade Secrets Law expressly provides for the protection of trade secrets based on an agreement.

Introduction: The main objective was to determine the maternal and fetal consequences of severe anemia in pregnancy at the maternity ward of the Kalabancoro Reference Health Center. Methods: Our descriptive cross-sectional study with prospective data collection was conducted from January 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019 at the maternity ward of the Kalabancoro Health Center. Eligible patients were all consenting pregnant women presenting for prenatal consultation or in the delivery room in which the diagnosis of severe anemia was retained. The anemia was considered severe when the hemoglobin level was less than 7 g/dl and/or with clinical manifestations of decompensation of the anemia. Data were processed and analyzed by SPSS 12 software. Results: A total of 161 cases out of 2010 pregnant women were recruited and treated at the Kalabancoro Health Center, which represents a prevalence of 8% of severe anemia in pregnancy. The 14-19 year age group was the most representative, i.e. 52.2% of pregnant women, with extremes of 14 to 35 years and over. Malaria was the most predominant etiology with 31.05% followed by blood spoliation 25.47% and malaria plus malnutrition 14.29%. Prematurity represented 5% of cases. Maternal death was 1.9%. Low birth weight was 16.7% and stillbirths represented 3.7%. Conclusion: Severe anemia in pregnancy remains, through its complications, one of the most dreaded pathologies. Thus, a prospective analytical study is necessary to better study the causes of severe anemia in pregnancy.

Placenta accreta is a rare condition. Its incidence is constantly increasing due to the increasing number of caesarean sections (multiplied by four over the same period).Placenta accreta is responsible for major maternal morbidity and mortality. Targeted ultrasound, in the presence of risk factors, is relevant for this diagnosis. Patients with at least one uterine scar and a previous placenta previa represent a population at risk whose placenta should be examined during screening ultrasound with the full attention of the operator. The smallest diagnostic doubt should lead the practitioner to refer the patient for expert ultrasound examination. Current challenges include early detection of placenta accreta in the first trimester, prediction of the degree and extent of placental villi invasion, and prognosis assessment.

Background: Iodine is a necessary element of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Basically, thyroglobulin (Tg), a thyroid-specific protein, that reflects the size of the thyroid gland, is usually considered a biomarker of urinary iodine status of several patients. But in Bangladesh, we do have not enough information regarding the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of thyroglobulin in determining iodine deficiency among simple diffuse goiter patients. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of thyroglobulin in determining iodine deficiency among simple diffuse goiter patients. Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted at the Department of Endocrinology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), and Dhaka Bangladesh. The study was conducted during the period from May 2014 to March 2016. The targeted sample size of this study was between 39 and 90 and the final sample size was finalized as 87. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 87 patients with simple diffuse goiter attending the outpatient department of the mentioned hospital. Results: In this study, we did not find any statistically significant difference in urinary iodine between the different cut-off values of serum thyroglobulin at 14.46 (ng/ml). Similarly, there was not any statistically significant difference in urinary iodine levels at different cut-off values of thyroglobulin. Thyroglobulin had a high negative predictive value and comparatively low positive predictive value in determining iodine deficiency, at 98.51% and 30% respectively. Serum thyroglobulin had 85.71% sensitivity and 82.50% specificity. Thyroglobulin also had a high negative predictive value at 98.51%, but a low positive predictive value at 30%. The overall accuracy of thyroglobulin as an indicator for iodine deficiency was 82.76%. Conclusion: Thyroglobulin seems to have an inverse association in iodine deficiency state and a positive association in over sufficient state with UI. The overall sensitivity of thyroglobulin was satisfactory but the specificity was found very low. Considering the urinary iodine as the gold standard, basically, the positive predictive value of thyroglobulin was found very low but the negative predictive value was found very high.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are mesenchymal tumors that represent 0.1% to 0.3% of all malignant tumors. Their clinical presentation is nonspecific but presentation by massive hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability is rare. We report the cases of 02 young patients who presented a fulminant digestive hemorrhage with hemodynamic instability and whose endoscopic exploration did not reveal any obvious etiology. That’s why we involved interventional radiology and surgical team in order to localize and confirm the diagnosis of a hemorrhagic jejunal GIST and then to ensure the hemostasis by small bowel resection taking away the jejunal tumor.

There is increase in crime in the Nigerian society today. There is no passing day that incidence of homicide, bandit, arm robbery and rape to mention some are not repeated in various news media. The Nigerian police recorded 717 rape cases between January and May, 2020 (mutual, June 15, 2020). Rape cases have risen to unprecedented height and this Negative trend cannot be tolerated any further in our society, where peace and tranquility is much desired. Without a peaceful and tranquil environment, development of the economy may be truncated. The members of society have been impacted with this stressor called rape. And consequently a number of persons has suffered psychological problems. This condition if not arrested can negatively affect an individual’s economic power, work adjustment and livelihood the researchers perceive the problem of rape are complicated because studies have revealed that it is largely undisclosed by most survivals, under reported by news media and understudied by Researchers. Therefore if no intervention is instituted by way of national value, reorientation of citizens through the educational sector, rape may continue to thrive as a traumatic norm in the Nigeria society, this paper discus bothered on rape as a traumatic norm, disclosure by victim news media and educational intervention through value reorientation. Necessary suggestion are made on how to end this menace in Nigeria.

Documentation of cultural heritage is basically a computerized or digital representation of objects contains the realistic portrayal of objects in 2.5 or 3D and other details. It is an unquestionable reality that the most vital thing for transmitting cultural heritage to posterity is a delicate documentation. Up to the present there have been numerous advancements in documentation of cultural heritage through technology development, and contemporary documentation techniques have progressed speedily. In time, current techniques have turned out to be desirable over conventional methods in engineering in the existent state and in assurance of disfigurements and preparation of measured drawing projects of historical edifices. Over the most recent ten years, direct 3D documentation techniques are very well known and that great advancement. Generally several main geomatics approaches are using for documentation , in first approach, image based such as close range photogrammetry, unmanned aerial vehicles, infrared (IR) images, second approach are non-image-based such as conventional measurements, terrestrial laser scanning, and In third approach, many researcher are using hybrid method that companied between different techniques. With ongoing improvements in PC and information technologies, this notable customary method has been change with digital close-range photogrammetry. This new technique offers us new open doors, for example, automatic orientation and procedure of the measurement, create of 3D vector information, advanced ortho-image and digital surface model. Laser scanning is another innovation that lately has turned out to be progressively well known for documentation which gives exceptionally thick 3D points on an object surface with high exactness. Also, the 3D model and ortho-photo can be effortlessly created utilizing produced 3D point clouds and recorded digital pictures. This paper gives an overview about the techniques related with documentation of cultural heritage and the uses of cultural heritage.

In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for visualisation; however, today they are being increasingly employed in a number of domains and for a large range of tasks beyond visualisation. In the past, the virtual 3D models are being built using primary materials, (e.g. wood), because of the flexibility and easy handling of this material, where the measurements are taken in traditional methods, so that the work is done in direct contact with the target [2]. However, with the advancement and development of techniques, the virtual 3D models are produced by computer-aided design and by using of auxiliary software's such as, AutoCAD but with manual measurements[8]. To overcome these difficulties, many techniques and remote sensing devices have been developed. These techniques are considered as the leaders in this respect and are commonly used in extracting 3D models nowadays such as photogrammetry and Light detection and ranging (Lidar). These techniques provide lots of information with high accuracy standards and reliability without direct contact with the real world (except for assessment and validation purposes). In this paper, we seek to understand and document the state of the art regarding the utilisation of 3D city models across multiple domains based on a comprehensive literature study including hundreds of research papers, technical reports and online resources.

Amidst the corona-virus pandemic, universities around the globe had to switch the provision mode of higher-level education and students’ assessment from face-to-face to online ones, without adequate preparation. Given this new educational reality, this study set out to explore undergraduate Greek students’ points of view regarding the computer-based assessment that was implemented at their university Department under the covid-19 circumstances. Twenty-nine learners were purposefully and voluntarily recruited to participate in the research. Data were collected using as a research tool the spontaneous texts written by the students, while qualitative content analysis was used for the data analysis. Overall, findings indicated that most of the participated students were in disfavor with the computer-based assessment, stating mainly the disadvantages that this process entailed. As the most cited drawbacks, these were found to be the technical problems that used to arise, followed by the inadequate time assessees had for their assessment as well as the students’ concerns about academic integrity. Still, most students found their experience with the computer-based assessment conducted unique and weird. While these findings do not support previous research, they are fully discussed in terms of their implications in the article.

Enhancing Effectiveness of E-Learning: Lessons from Technology Adoption Model
Dr. Sachin Kumar
Page no 224-227 |
10.36348/jaep.2022.v06i04.004
A number of policies, missions and programmes have been initiated to facilitate e-learning enabled by information and communication technologies (ICTs) over recent years both by central as well as state governments in order to enhance effectiveness of teaching-learning process. However, tangible outcomes of such initiatives have been limited so far due to a number of factors especially in government institutions. While in some cases the core reason has been availability, accessibility, adequacy and quality of ICT tools, in many cases intention to use such technologies by teachers has been found conspicuous by its absence. The present paper uses the theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to deduce relevant lessons. The objective is not to deliberate on the nuances of the model but simply to pick out a few relevant constructs in light of the author’s own experience of technology adoption in the context of schools and colleges of Himachal Pradesh. After briefly outlining the key tenets of TAM, the paper articulates the rationale for adopting this model and finally discusses key lessons for increasing acceptance of such technologies among educational stakeholders. Since COVID 19 has already created a rationale for adopting technology-enabled learning methodologies, the recommendations of this paper are likely to improve the efficacy and effectiveness of current and future initiatives.

Eduardo Anitua
Page no 122-128 |
10.36348/sjodr.2022.v07i04.005
Introduction: The treatment of the atrophic posterior maxilla is a challenge, and there are different techniques for its rehabilitation with dental implants. In the present study we compare two of the most widespread: the classic lateral approach and transcrestal elevation. Material and methods: A retrospective open-mouth pilot study was carried out to evaluate the predictability of the two surgical techniques described above. To this end, patients in whom both techniques were used (one per quadrant) were followed up and a quantification of bone loss and gain over the implant apex was carried out, as well as an estimate of survival in both groups of implants. Results: Five patients were recruited and 13 implants were inserted (8 in conventional sinus lift and 5 in transcrestal sinus lift). The mesial bone loss of the implants studied at the end of the follow-up time was 0.40 mm in the mesial zone (+/- 0.23) and 0.50 mm in the distal zone (+/- 0.34) for implants placed in traditional elevations. For implants inserted in the transcrestal elevation the mesial bone loss of the implants studied at the end of the follow-up time was 0.30 mm in the mesial zone (+/- 0.13) and 0.20 mm in the distal zone (+/- 0.24). There were no statistically significant differences between the mean bone losses of both techniques (p=0.021). Conclusions: Both techniques have proven to be predictable for the treatment of the atrophic posterior maxilla in height. The use of short and extra-short implants and transcrestal elevation requires fewer surgeries and has a priori a lower risk of complications. In the patients of our split-mouth study we found no statistically significant differences between the two procedures.

Background: A covid-19 pandemic is an unprecedented event, which has a profound impact on the lives of children with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders besides other people. In Bangladesh, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on children with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders have not been adequately studied. Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to assess the diseases status of children with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: This voluntary prospective observational study was conducted during the period from June 2020 to August 2020 with an attachment of the department Paediatric Neuroscience, Bangladesh Shishu Hospital & Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Neurogen Health Care, Dhaka, Bangladesh. A total of 78 children with at least one symptom of neurological and/or neurodevelopmental disorders were included as the study subjects of this study. Both previously diagnosed and newly recruited patients were accumulated as the study subjects. Both physical and online (With telephonic communication) consultation and follow-up were arranged for all the patients during the study period. All data were collected, processed, and analyzed by using MS Office and SPSS version 23 programs as per need. Results: In this study, the mean (±SD) age of the participants was 9.87±2.59 years. The male-female ratio was 1.4:1. The majority of the participants were from rural areas (55) and only 2 were from Covid-19 affected. About half of the participants (49%) were with epilepsy. Besides this, ‘impairment in social interaction, communication and behavior problem’, CP with global developmental delay, syndromic child, and ‘hyperactivity and inattention were found in 22%, 13%, 10%, and 6% participants respectively. The majority of the patients (53%) of this study were under antiepileptic therapies. Besides this, 9%, 13%, 5%, 14%, and 6% of participants were taking Immunosuppressive therapies, physical or occupational therapies, psychotherapy, combination therapy, and some other therapies respectively. Conclusion: Epilepsy is the most common disorder among children with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders who saught for online consultation. Online consultation followed by subsequent physical consultation may be considered as an effective approach in managing patients with neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders during any pandemic situation like Covid-19.
