Redesign Terminal Terpadu Pinang Baris
No full textThe 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
Primary Calcitonin-negative Neuroendocrine Tumor
No full textABSTRACT
Introduction
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the thyroid are rare tumors. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an exact NET of the thyroid gland, arising from the parafollicular cells (C cells). It has unique features like immunohistochemically and biochemically calcitonin positivity and amyloid deposits. In this case report, a rare thyroid tumor is presented, which has neuroendocrine staining properties and does not produce serum or cytoplasmic calcitonin.
Case report
The patient was a 45-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy because of the countless multiple thyroid nodules and a suspicion about a nodule at the right lobe. On histopathological examination, there was a tumor in the left thyroid lobe that measured 0.4 cm. Tumor immunohistochemical staining was positive for synaptophysin, chromogranin A (neuroendocrine cell markers), and thyroglobulin (Tg), and thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1; follicular cell markers). The staining was negative for calcitonin.
Conclusion
There are thyroid tumors that are calcitonin-negative and Tg-positive called calcitonin-negative NETs. Careful interpretation and distinction between MTCs are needed at these tumors because they may have different biologic behaviors, and calcitonin negativity makes follow-up of patients challenging.

First record of the genus Baris Germar, 1817 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), in Dominican amber
No full textA new weevil species – Baris grossacavis Poinar
and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) – is described
from Dominican amber. The new species is close to
Baris rubripes Casey, 1892, but differs by possessing large
punctures over much of its body, including the pronotum;
elytral intervals with rows of narrow scales, and narrow elytral
intervals.
The fossil is the first record of the subfamily Baridinae
from any amber source and the first record from the Miocene.This is the publisher’s final pdf.

Evaluasi Karakteristik Parkir Bus Tipe A Di Terminal Pinang Baris sebagai Terminal Bus Tipe A
No full textThis study was conducted to determine how the condition Pinang Baris Terminal currently associated with the characteristics of parking. This study uses a field survey by direct observation in Terminal Pinang Baris by spreading surveyor at certain points in order to facilitate the recording of data in order to obtain a valid observation. Direct observation is done by manually recording the arrival time data and exit the bus, license plate number, and the name of the bus company. Research analysis using Microsoft Exel. Results of identification and field research has been on the analysis shows a maximum level of parking characteristics in Pinang Baris Terminal and it is known that there are three issues that must be resolved. First, the buildup of bus parking AKDP manifold small and MPU bus that we can see on the pictures and the documentation of the calculation in the Parking Index. Secondly, the vehicle bus parking AKDP which do not in place and this can be seen in the image documentation. Third, when the AKAP bus will maneuver to get into the parking lot AKAP bus, it takes quite a long time and could hinder other transport to pass. In this thesis, the author has provided solutions to three problems are found, because it must be found a solution that does not affect the operational performance in the future Pinang Baris Terminal

No full textArtificial neural network analysis for evaluating cancer risk in multinodular goiter
No full textBackground: The aim of this study was to create a diagnostic model using the artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict malignancy in multinodular goiter patients with an indeterminate cytology. Materials and Methods: Out of 623 patients, 411 evaluated for multinodular goiter between July 2004 and March 2010 had a fine-needle aspiration biopsy. All patients underwent total thyroidectomy. The interpretation was consistent with an indeterminate lesion in 116 (18.6%) patients. Patient′s medical records including age, sex, dominant nodule size, pre-operative serum thyroid-stimulating hormone level, thyroid hormone therapy and final pathologic diagnosis were collected retrospectively. Results: The mean age of the patients was 44.6 years (range, 17-78 years). About 104 (89.7%) were female and 12 (10.3%) were male patients. Final pathology revealed 24 malignant diseases (20.7%) and 92 (79.3%) benign diseases. After the completion of training, the ANN model was able to predict diagnosis of malignancy with a high degree of accuracy. The area under the curve of ANNs was 0.824. Conclusion: The ANNs technique is a useful aid in diagnosing malignancy and may help reduce unnecessary thyroidectomies in multinodular goiter patients with an indeterminate cytology. Further studies are needed to construct the optimal diagnostic model and to apply it in the clinical practice
Value Chains and WTO Disputes: Compliance at the dispute settlement mechanism
No full textAs 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

Unified and Multilingual Author Profiling for Detecting Haters
No full text[EN] This paper presents a unified user profiling framework to identify hate speech spreaders by processing
their tweets regardless of the language. The framework encodes the tweets with sentence transformers
and applies an attention mechanism to select important tweets for learning user profiles. Furthermore,
the attention layer helps to explain why a user is a hate speech spreader by producing attention weights
at both token and post level. Our proposed model outperformed the state-of-the-art multilingual transformer models.Schlicht, IB.; Magnossao De Paula, AF. (2021). Unified and Multilingual Author Profiling for Detecting Haters. CEUR. 1837-1845. https://riunet.upv.es/handle/10251/190661S1837184
