Purpose: Redundant publications occur when authors publish apartial or complete duplicate of data from an existing manuscript. The push for academic advancement in medicine may result in redundant publications that erode the quality of literature. We sampled the extent of redundancy within the Journal of Urology.Methods: Original articles published in the Journal of Urology in2006 were reviewed. MEDLINE was used to identify suspectedduplicate publications by combining the last names of the first,second and last authors with keywords provided by the article.Results were limited to 2004 to 2008. Two investigators reviewed the suspected duplicate publications and classified them as duplicate, probable duplicate and salami-slicing.Results: We screened 723 original articles. Of these originalarticles, 13 (1.8%) had some form of redundancy. One (0.1%)original article had a duplicate article, 5 (0.7%) original articleshad probable duplicates, and 7 (1%) original articles were salamisliced. The proportion of redundant articles published prior to, and following, their 2006 index article was 5/13 (38.5%) and 7/13 (53.8%), respectively. One duplicate (7.7%) was published in the same month as its index.Conclusion: Detection of redundant publications is a laboriousprocess for reviewers and editors. This sampling of the Journal of Urology revealed that the duplication rate in this journal is small, but significant. Further assessment of the urological literature is warranted.

<p>This study aims to determine how Islam views which in this case is limited only four schools of opinion about the position of an advocate as law enforcement. In Islam indeed advocates known as providers of legal bantuah namely Hakam, mufti and mashalih alaih that functions similar to advokat.Penelitian function is called normative research with descriptive methods comparative analysis between positive law and Islamic law, namely Law No. 18 2003 and scholarly opinion four schools as primary data. Secondary data were taken from books or books that explain the legal theory of primary data. Article 5 of Law No. 18 of 2003 on lawyers has been explained that the position of advocate parallel with other law enforcement such as judges, prosecutors and police. But in fact appear black advocates not to enforce the law but instead became mafias that sell traded equity law. For it will be studied how exactly Islam's view of the position of Advocates with the formulation of the problem sebegai follows, first how the views of Islamic law for the position of advocate in Article 5 of Law No. 18 of 2003 on advocates, who both like where the relevance of Islam's view of the position of advocate in enforcement law in Indonesia. From research conducted authors argue for their refisi against the law number 18 of 2003 on advocates. alignment between advocates and other law enforcement must be followed by the high quality of an advocate and supervision of the performance of lawyers in order to minimize the occurrence of fraud in practice in providing legal aid.</p><p>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pandangan Islam yang dalam hal ini hanya dibatasi pendapat empat madzhab tentang kedudukan advokat sebagai penegak hukum. Dalam Islam memang advokat dikenal sebagai lembaga pemberi bantuah hukum yaitu hakam, mufti dan mashalih alaih yang secara fungsi hampir sama dengan fungsi advokat. Penelitian ini disebut penelitian normatif dengan metode deskriptif analisis perbandingan antara hukum positif dan hukum Islam, yaitu undang-undang nomor 18 tahun 2003 dan pendapat ulama empat madzhab sebagai data primer. Data sekunder diambil dari kitab-kitab atau buku-buku teori hukum yang menjelaskan tentang data primer. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan penulis berpendapat perlunya adanya refisi terhadap undang-undang nomor 18 tahun 2003 tentang advokat. kesejajaran antara advokat dan penegak hukum lainya harus diikuti dengan tingginya kualitas seorang advokat dan pengawasan terhadap kinerja advokat agar bisa meminimalisir terjadinya penyelewengan dalam praktiknya dalam memberi bantuan hukum.</p>

Abstract: The understanding of inclusive education is still inaccurate, so the interpretation and orientation towards that implementation are not appropriate as it should be. Nowadays, be found in the field that term of inclusive education is only limited to children with special needs learned together with general children in regular schools. Whereas, the term of inclusive education refer to provide the possible opportunity or access widely for all children in order to obtain the quality of education and in accordance with the needs without discrimination. Therefore, schools that enroll in inclusive education are required to adjust in terms of curriculum, facilities, the infrastructure of education, and learning systems as well that adjusted with the needs of children with special needs. In the other hand, children with special needs are those with temporary or permanent special needs that require more intense educational services. If children are required to receive an education service that is appropriate to their needs and existence through an inclusive education program, it will provide the possible opportunity widely for all children with special needs to get a proper education according to their needs. Moreover, it can create an education system that respects to diversity, non-discrimination and friendly in learning. Thus, it can implement the mandate of the Constitution of 1945, article 31, paragraph 1, Law of 2003 No. 20 regarding National Education System on article 5, paragraph 1, and Law of 2002 No 23 regarding The Right and Protection of Children in article 51. Abstrak: Pemahaman terhadap pendidikan Inklusif masih belum tepat, sehingga in terpretasi dan o-rientasi pelaksanaannya pun belum sesuai  sebagaimana seharusnya yang sekarang dijumpai di lapangan bahwa yang dinamakan pendidikan inklusif adalah hanya sebatas anak kebutuhan khusus belajar bersama-sama dengan anak-anak normal di sekolah reguler.Padahal yang dinamakan pendidikan inklusif adalah memberikan kesempatan atau akses yang seluas-luasnya kepada semua anak untuk memperoleh pendidikan yang bermutu dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanpa diskriminasi, oleh karena itu sekolah yang menyeleggarakan pendidikan inklusif dituntut harus menyesuaikan baik dari segi kurikulum, sarana dan prasarana pendidikan maupun sistem pembelajaran yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan individu peserta didik yang berkebutuhan khusus. Sedangkan yang dimaksud dengan anak berkebutuhan khusus adalah mereka yang memiliki kebutuhan khusus sementara atau permanen yang membutuhkan pelayanan pendidikan yang lebih intens. Jika anak berkebutuhan mendapat layanan pendidikan yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan dan keberadaannya melalui program pemdidikan inklusif, maka akan memberikan kesempatan seluas-luasnya kepada semua anak berkebutuhan khusus mendapatkan pendidikan yang layak sesuai dengan kebutuhannya. Serta dapat menciptakan sistem pendidikan yang menghargai keanekaragaman, tidak diskriminasi serta ramah terhadap pembelajaran sehingga dapat mengamalkan amanat Undang-Undang-Undang 1945 pasal 31 ayat 1 juga undang-undang  No 20 tahun 2003 tentang system pendidikan Nasional pasal 5 ayat 1 dan Undang-Undang no 23 tahun 2002 tentang hak dan perlindungan anak pasal 51.

Soil-borne pathogens (SBPs) significantly reduce the yield and quality of crops worldwide. In the past, their control was principally accomplished by using soil fumigants such as methyl bromide (MB). However, this fumigant which is a powerful ozone-depleting substance, has completely been phased out under the Montreal Protocol (MP). New chemicals and non-chemical alternatives to MB, including biofumigation, have been actively researched, developed, and commercially adopted worldwide. This review seeks to provide the status of biofumigation for the control of SBPs in some non-temperate climate zones referred to in this paper as Article 5 countries or developing countries according to the Montreal Protocol (MP) classification. The review will first define “the non-temperate climate zone,” list the countries belonging to this zone, focus on the role and importance of the MP in phasing-out MB, and in searching and commercially adopting alternatives including biofumigation to this fumigant. It also describes the biofumigation techniques reported and used, reports its efficacy/inefficacy to manage SBPs in some non-climate temperate countries, insists on the place it must have in an IPM program to increase its efficacy, and finally, lists the collaboration and the research needed to further develop and commercially adopt this technology in non-temperate climate countries.

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).

Most production electron beam lithography systems can pattern minimum features a few tenths of a micron across. Linewidth in these systems is usually limited by the quality of the exposing beam and by electron scattering in the resist and substrate. By using a smaller spot along with exposure techniques that minimize scattering and its effects, laboratory e-beam lithography systems can now make features hundredths of a micron wide on standard substrate material. This talk will outline sane of these high- resolution e-beam lithography techniques.We first consider parameters of the exposure process that limit resolution in organic resists. For concreteness suppose that we have a “positive” resist in which exposing electrons break bonds in the resist molecules thus increasing the exposed resist's solubility in a developer. Ihe attainable resolution is obviously limited by the overall width of the exposing beam, but the spatial distribution of the beam intensity, the beam “profile” , also contributes to the resolution. Depending on the local electron dose, more or less resist bonds are broken resulting in slower or faster dissolution in the developer.

Introduction In electron microscopic investigations of crystalline specimens the direct observation of the electron diffraction pattern gives additional information about the specimen. The quality of this information depends on the quality of the crystals or the crystal area contributing to the diffraction pattern. By selected area diffraction in a conventional electron microscope, specimen areas as small as 1 µ in diameter can be investigated. It is well known that crystal areas of that size which must be thin enough (in the order of 1000 Å) for electron microscopic investigations are normally somewhat distorted by bending, or they are not homogeneous. Furthermore, the crystal surface is not well defined over such a large area. These are facts which cause reduction of information in the diffraction pattern. The intensity of a diffraction spot, for example, depends on the crystal thickness. If the thickness is not uniform over the investigated area, one observes an averaged intensity, so that the intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern cannot be used for an analysis unless additional information is available.

In the observation of a thick specimen by means of a transmission electron microscope, the intensity of electrons passing through the objective lens aperture is greatly reduced. So that the image is almost invisible. In addition to this fact, it have been reported that a chromatic aberration causes the deterioration of the image contrast rather than that of the resolution. The scanning electron microscope is, however, capable of electrically amplifying the signal of the decreasing intensity, and also free from a chromatic aberration so that the deterioration of the image contrast due to the aberration can be prevented. The electrical improvement of the image quality can be carried out by using the fascionating features of the SEM, that is, the amplification of a weak in-put signal forming the image and the descriminating action of the heigh level signal of the background. This paper reports some of the experimental results about the thickness dependence of the observability and quality of the image in the case of the transmission SEM.

With information processing devices such as radio telescopes, microscopes or hi-fi systems, the quality of the output often is limited by distortion or noise introduced at the input stage of the device. This analogy can be extended usefully to specimen preparation for the electron microscope; fixation, which initiates the processing sequence, is the single most important step and, unfortunately, is the least well understood. Although there is an abundance of fixation mixtures recommended in the light microscopy literature, osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde are favored for electron microscopy. These fixatives react vigorously with proteins at the molecular level. There is clear evidence for the cross-linking of proteins both by osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde and cross-linking may be a necessary if not sufficient condition to define fixatives as a class.
