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.

    No full text
    WOS: 000398584900008Syphilis is a generally sexually transmitted and multisystem disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. All of the organs of the body may be involved during the course of the disease. Neurosyphilis is a clinical form of syphilis with the central nervous system (CNS) involvement. While primarily meningeal and vascular structures are involved in early neurosyphilis, a parenchymal affection of the brain and spinal cord emerges at later stages of neurosyphilis. It presents with symptoms of meningitis, meningovasculitis and parenchymal neurosyphilis (presenting as tabes dorsalis and general paresis). Clinically, it can mimic a variety of psychiatric disorders such as depression, psychosis, mania, delirium, personality changes and dementia. During its progression making presentations similar to many systemic or neuropsychiatric diseases, syphilis is defined as "great imitator". Nowadays, neurosyphilis is a rare disease as a result of the widespread use of antibiotics that must be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this article, three neurosyphilis cases with different psychiatric presentations are reported and literature relevant to syphilis are reviewed

    No full text
    Background – Long Covid is a complex condition characterised by symptoms that persist for weeks and months after the Covid infection, accompanied by cognitive im­pairment that negatively affects daily life. Understanding this complex condition is important for the development of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Purpose – This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of cognitive impairment in long-COVID, including its definition, symptoms, pathophysiology, risk factors, assessment tools, imaging abnormalities, potential biomarkers, management strategies, long-term outcomes, and future directions for research. Methods – The search methodology used in this review aimed to include a wide range of research on cognitive impairment related to both COVID-19 and long-COVID. Systematic searches of PubMed and Google Scholar databases were conducted using a mixture of MeSH terms and keywords including ‘cognition’, ‘cognitive impairment’, ‘brain fog’, ‘COVID-19’ and ‘long-COVID’. The search was restricted to studies published in English between 1 January 2019 and 11 February 2024, which presented findings on neurological manifestations in human participants. Results – Long-COVID is characterized by persistent symptoms following COVID-19 infection, with cognitive impairment being a prominent feature. Symptoms include brain fog, difficulties with concentration, memory issues, and executive function deficits. Pathophysiological mechanisms involve viral persistence, immune responses, and vascular damage. Risk factors include age, pre-existing conditions, and disease severity. Cognitive assessment tools such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are essential for diagnosis. Imaging studies, including MRI, PET, and SPECT, reveal structural and functional brain alterations. Potential biomarkers include C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and neuron-specific enolase. Management strategies encompass cognitive rehabilitation, occupational therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications. Discussion – Long-COVID poses a multifaceted challenge, and cognitive impairment significantly impacts patients’ lives. A multidisciplinary approach, including cognitive rehabilitation and medication when appropriate, is essential for effective management. Future research should focus on validating biomarkers and understanding long-term cognitive outcomes. Conclusion – Long-COVID is a global health concern, and cognitive impairment is a distressing symptom. While pharmacological interventions have potential, they require careful consideration. Continued research is crucial for improving the understanding and treatment of cognitive impairment in long-COVID

    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
