    The project chosen by the author is a terminal facility which is located at Pinang Baris Terminal. The Pinang Baris Terminal serves public transport vehicles with a route west to the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) Region. The problems found were unified vehicle circulation, less strategic departure and arrival areas, and a lack of a number of standard facilities not found at the Pinang Baris Bus Terminal, such as the absence of a health post, bus maintenance and washing areas and the absence of barriers between vehicle traffic and passengers. Other facilities required by the regulations are available, although not all of them function properly, many of the facilities are damaged or unused, such as waiting rooms which are rarely used by passengers while waiting for the bus. On this project which is the scope of the design consists of designing the terminal in accordance with the regulations, laws and provisions of the Government, redesigning the Pinang Baris Terminal according to the predetermined land area, and expanding the terminal. In designing this project, the authors apply and follow the laws and regulations regarding terminals in design, so that the Pinang Baris Integrated Terminal can become a terminal that complies with terminal standards. With this application to the project, it is hoped that the author will be able to produce design solutions that can provide comfort for users and make the Pinang Baris Integrated Terminal a standard-compliant terminal108 HalamanSkripsi Sarjan

    Purpose: To evaluate diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) features and signal intensity values at T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for differential diagnosis of benign retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) and plaque-like retroperitoneal malignant neoplasms. Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained for this retrospective study. Fifty-one patients with plaque-like confluent retroperitoneal soft-tissue masses were divided into three groups: group I, 25 patients with malignant RPF and retroperitoneal malignant neoplasm; group II, 16 patients with chronic RPF; and group III, 10 patients with active RPF. On T1-weighted (unenhanced and contrast material-enhanced), T2-weighted, and DWI (b = 1000 sec/mm(2)) images, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values and quotients of postcontrast signal intensities between lesions and psoas muscle were evaluated. The chi(2) test was used to compare categorical values; one-way analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to compare groups. Results: Overall sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of DWI findings were 92% (23 of 25 patients), 62% (16 of 26 patients), 70% (23 of 33 patients), and 89% (16 of 18 patients), respectively. Mean ADC values were 0.79 +/- 0.19 in group I, 1.43 +/- 0.16 in group II, and 0.91 +/- 0.14 in group III. When comparing values, differences between groups I and II (ADC values, P < .0001; DWI quotients, P < .0001; postcontrast quotients, P = .001) and groups II and III (ADC values, P < .0001; DWI quotients, P = .016; postcontrast quotients, P = .04) were significant. There was no significant difference between groups I and III or between the three groups when T2-weighted values were compared. Conclusion: ADC of chronic RPF was higher than that for active RPF or malignant RPF and retroperitoneal malignant neoplasm. DWI can contribute to differential diagnosis of chronic RPF and malignant neoplasms with RPF morphology. Lesions in the malignant group and active RPF group had similar enhancement patterns, while those in the chronic RPF group demonstrated less enhancement. Signal intensity values on T2-weighted images were not useful for differentiating these conditions

    Value Chains and WTO Disputes: Compliance at the dispute settlement mechanism

    No full text
    As economic populism and protectionism increasingly threatens the global trade order, this book examines the behavior of World Trade Organization (WTO) members at the judicial arm of the WTO—the dispute settlement mechanism (DSM). The author explores why and when governments cooperate at the WTO and comply with the ruling of its panels, focusing on how the growth of global value chains through the internationalization of trade and production has increased the importance of both trade liberalization and supra-national governance and policy-making. Finding that domestic organized interests—i.e. firms and sectors—mobilize and lobby national governments to change their domestic policies to better harmonize with their international trade commitments, the author outlines how the time it takes to comply with adverse WTO rulings is shorter when the potential domestic costs of non-compliance outweigh protectionist interests. The author’s innovative research design highlights the conditions under which the WTO can preserve the rules of international trade and support a more open, global economy

    Effects of Fe-based nanoparticles (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) on germination parameters were studied for some seedling characteristics of Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) seeds. Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 nanoparticle applications were made at concentrations of 400, 800, 1200, 1600, and 2000 mg/L on Fagus orientalis seeds collected from 10 different populations, and some germination and seedling characteristics were evaluated. Preliminary results generally indicated that low-dose nanoparticle applications positively affected germination and seedling characteristics, while increases in doses led to decreases in these parameters. Values obtained from high-dose nanoparticle applications were generally lower than those from the control group. The iron nanoparticles affected the parameters to different extents, Fe2O3 nanoparticles showed a significant positive effect on germination rate and radicle length, while exhibiting a significant negative effect on germination percentage and plumule length. The populations least affected by high-dose iron nanoparticle applications were Bursa Inegol, Karabuk-Yenice, and Ordu Akkus, while the most affected were the Bartin-Kumluca and Kahramanmaras-Andirin populations

    Heavy metals are elements that are very harmful to human and environmental health. Heavy metal concentration in the fruits grown in city centers can reach very high levels and consuming these fruits as food causes a direct intake of heavy metals, which these fruits contain, into a human body and can pose a significant health risk. All the compounds of barium (Ba), which is one of the most dangerous heavy metals, are toxic. Thus, determining the Ba concentration in plants, which are grown in areas with high pollution and consumed as food, is very important. In the present study, it was aimed to determine the change of Ba concentration by species and organ in several fruits grown in areas with high traffic density. Within the scope of this study, Ba concentrations in leaf, branch, bark, seed, and fruits of Prunus ceresifera, Tilia tomentosa, Prunus avium, and Prunus cerasus were compared. As a result, it was determined that the change of Ba concentrations by species and the change by organ were statistically significant in all organs and in all species, respectively. In general, the lowest values were found in Prunus cerasus or Prunus avium, whereas the highest values were observed in Tilia tomentosa. Considering the organs, the lowest values were found in seed and the highest ones in bark and branch.https://doi.org/10.30574/wjarr.2021.12.3.0681https://wjarr.com/sites/default/files/WJARR-2021-0681.pdfhttps://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5804823https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.580482
