Perlindungan Hukum Bagi Pemegang Hak Atas Tanah Dikaitkan Dengansistem Publikasi Negatif Bertendensi Positif Dalam Sistem Pendaftarantanah Secara Elektronik: Studi Banding Dengan Negara Australia, Triani Putri Utami, Akhmad Budi Cahyono

Indonesian Notary

Penerapan sistem publikasi negatif bertendensi positif di Indonesia sering kali menimbulkan masalah hukum, seperti sengketa pertanahan, tumpang tindihnya tanah bekas milik adat, konflik pertanahan antara pemerintah dengan swasta, ataupun konflik pertanahan antara pemerintah dengan masyarakat. Beda halnya dengan negara lain, di negara Australia misalnya, sertipikat hak atas tanah di sana merupakan alat bukti yang tidak dapat diganggu gugat atau bersifat mutlak. Hal ini disebabkan Australia menganut sistem Torrens dalam pendaftaran tanahnya. Dengan sistem ini, tidak dimungkinkan dilakukan pengubahan, kecuali apabila sertipikat yang dihasilkan tersebut diperoleh dengan cara pemalsuan atau dengan penipuan. Penelitian menggunakan metode penelitian doktrinal dengan pendekatan perbandingan (comparative …

Article 945 of the Civil Code states that Indonesian citizens abroad may not make a testament except with an authentic deed and comply with formalities in the country where the deed is made.

The case involved 2 (two) testaments, one was made before a Notary before marriage, other was made in the United States after marriage. Testamentary heir of both testaments clashes. The article analyzes evidentiary strength of testament made by Indonesian citizens abroad, as well …

From G.R.I.D. To Aids & Covid-19 To Long-Covid: Naming And Defining Biological Threats, J. Ricky Price

Political Science Faculty/Staff Publications

This article uses the history of the early U.S. case definition of AIDS to question the imperatives in the newly developed Long-COVID (LC) definition. Doing so allows us to think through the role of case definitions in producing meaning in our world and to consider what we can learn about the politics of knowledge creation. By examining the porous boundaries of identity, institutions, and AIDS and placing this history in relation to LC, I argue that the state is doing more than describing and diagnosing these institutional practices, but that hybrid identities are produced by the state through these practices …

Development Of New Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma Mouse Models., Syed Hassan Mehdi, Ying-Zhi Xu, Leonard D. Shultz, Eunkyung Kim, Yong Gu Lee, Samantha Kendrick, Donghoon Yoon

Faculty Research 2024

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most diagnosed, aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with ~40% of patients experiencing refractory or relapsed disease. Given the low response rates to current therapy, alternative treatment strategies are necessary to improve patient outcomes. Here, we sought to develop an easily accessible new xenograft mouse model that better recapitulates the human disease for preclinical studies. We generated two Luciferase (Luc)-EGFP-expressing human DLBCL cell lines representing the different DLBCL cell-of-origin subtypes. After intravenous injection of these cells into humanized NSG mice, we monitored the tumor growth and evaluated the organ-specific engraftment/progression period. Our results showed that …
