AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kewenangan Majelis Kehormatan Notaris (MKN) dan implikasi keputusan Majelis Kehormatan Notaris dalam pemeriksaan notaris. Lokasi penelitian dilakukan di Kantor Wilayah Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia Sulawesi Selatan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Majelis Kehormatan Notaris berwenang untuk melakukan pemeriksaan dan mengeluarkan keputusan persetujuan atau penolakan terhadap pemanggilan notaris oleh penyidik, penuntut umum, atau hakim. Adanya permohonan pemeriksaan dari penyidik, penuntut umum, atau hakim maka MKN Wilayah akan membentuk majelis pemeriksa untuk memanggil, memeriksa, dan mendengarkan keterangan langsung dari notaris. Hasil pemeriksaan dari Majelis Pemeriksalah yang kemudian menjadi acuan MKN Wilayah untuk memberikan persetujuan atau menolak permohonan pemanggilan Notaris oleh penegak hukum. Keputusan persetujuan atau penolakan Majelis Kehormatan Notaris Wilayah merupakan keputusan final dan tidak ada upaya lain yang dapat ditempuh bagi notaris ataupun penegak hukum sehingga akibatnya pihak-pihak terkait harus menjalankan keputusan tersebut. Bahkan berdasarkan ketentuan Pasal 66 Ayat (3) dan (4) UUJN ditentukan bahwa jika dalam jangka waktu 30 (tiga puluh) hari. MKN Wilayah tidak memberikan jawaban maka dianggap memberikan persetujuan. Dengan demikian proses pemanggilan harus tetap dilaksanakan. Hal ini dapat merugikan notaris, karena seharusnya MKN Wilayah dapat menyatakan sikap atau pertimbangannya.Kata Kunci: Keputusan, Majelis Kehormatan Notaris, Notaris AbstractThis study aimed to determine and analyze the authority of the Notary Public Honorary Board (MKN) in the investigation of the notary and to know and analyze the implications of the Decision of the Notary Honorary Board in the investigation of notaries. The location of the research was conducted in the Regional Office of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights of South Sulawesi. The results of the study indicate that the Honorary Board of Notary is authorized to conduct an investigation and issue a decision on approval or rejection of a call of a notary by an investigator, public prosecutor or judge. With the existence of an investigation request from the investigator, public prosecutor, or judge then the Regional Notary Honorary Board will form an investigator board to call, examine, and listen to the direct statement from the notary. The result of an investigation from the Investigator Board then becomes the reference of Regional MKN to give approval or reject the request of the notary calling by the law enforcer. The decision of the approval or rejection of the Regional Notary Honorary Board of the Notary is final and there is no other attempt that can be taken by the notary or law enforcers so that the parties concerned must follow the decision. Indeed, based on the provisions of Article 66 Paragraph (3) and (4) of Law on Notary Position (UUJN) it is stipulated that if within 30 (thirty) days. Regional MKN does not give an answer it is considered to give consent. Therefore the calling process must keep running. This may harm notary, because it is supposed that Regional MKN can state its position or consideration.Keywords: Decision, Honorary Board of Notary, Notary

There are more than 3.4 million deaths every year in the world due to overweight and obesity. Obesity is a chronic proinflammatory condition marked by increased lipid and adipose tissues, leading to ectopic fat accumulation with increased levels of proinflammatory cytokines. Obesity causes a progressive increase in galectin-3 expression, especially in visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in experimental animals. Galectin-3 is upregulated in obesity and is defined as a proinflammatory molecule that can cause insulin resistance. This study aims to analyze differences in galectin-3 levels between obese and non-obese subjects. This was a cross-sectional study, using a total of 80 subjects. The study was conducted throughout August 2022. The samples were grouped into obese and non-obese based on Body Mass Index (BMI). The galectin-3 measurement used the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Statistical tests used the Mann-Whitney test and Spearmen rho; the test results were significant if the p-value <0.05. The samples were divided into obese and non-obese groups, each group had 40 people. Galectin-3 levels in the obese group were 0.9±0.36 ng/mL significantly higher than the non-obese group’s 0.43±0.11 ng/mL, (p<0.001). There was a strong positive correlation between levels of galectin-3 and BMI, (r=0.866, p<0.001). There is a positive correlation between serum galectin-3 levels and BMI. The greater value of the BMI, the higher levels of galectin-3.

Au, Ag, and Au/Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in aqueous solution by chemical reduction. UV-Vis absorption spectra confirmed a single surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak for Au and Ag NPs, at 520 nm and 419 nm, respectively. Au/Ag core-shell NPs' UV-Vis spectra showed two distinct peaks at 385 and 480 nm, confirming a core-shell structure different from its alloy counterpart. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows a relatively uniform spherical shape for both Au and core-shell Au/Ag NPs, while Ag NPs have a variety of forms such as a prism, rod, and spherical. The average size of the synthesized nanoparticles was quite similar, between 18 and 25 nm. The 4-nitrophenol reduction reaction model was used to study the catalytic ability of nanoparticles where Au/Ag core-shell NPs showed higher catalytic activity than the other monometallic NPs used in this study.

Penggunaan pestisida di Indonesia sudah merupakan bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dalam sistem pertanian. Klorpirifos merupakan salah satu kelompok pestisida golongan organofosfat yang banyak digunakan untuk membunuh berbagai serangga. Adanya residu klorpirifos dapat menyebabkan gangguan kesehatan sehingga deteksi residu klorpirifos dalam produk pangan merupakan hal yang penting. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui kadar residu klorpirifos pada beras yang berasal dari Kecamatan Baebunta, Kabupaten Luwu Utara dan keamanannya untuk dikonsumsi. Sampel beras diambil langsung dari beberapa petani di Kecamatan Baebunta, Kabupaten Luwu Utara. Sampel diekstraksi dan di clean-up menggunakan metode QuEChERS dan dianalisis menggunakan GC/MS. Kadar residu klorpirifos dibandingkan dengan standar Batas Maksimum Residu (BMR)pada SNI. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa residu klorpirifos pada sampel A, B dan C masing-masing sebesar 0,133; 0,092; dan 0,308 mg/kg. Dengan demikian, beras yang berasal dari Kecamatan Baebunta Kabupaten Luwu Utara memiliki kadar residu di bawah nilai BMR (0,5 mg/kg) sehingga aman untuk dikonsumsi
