THE ROLE OF BLACK TEA AND PINEAPPLE JUICE AS NEGATIVE ORAL CONTRASTS ON MAGNETIC RESONANCE CHOLANGIOPANCREATOGRAPHY (MRCP) EXAMINATION by Shinta J. Hapsari, Risalatul Latifah, Muhaimin Muhaimin

“…The metal content of negative oral contrast can cause magnetic susceptibility which is characterized by the presence of shortening at the time of T2 relaxation. Negative contrast agents affect signal intensity usually by shortening T2 or T2 *, as an effect, areas of concern, especially areas with negative contrast agents will experience darkening. …”

Military Unmanned Systems: Current State, Prospects for Limitation and Control by M. G. Yevtodyeva, S. K. Oznobishchev

“…On the contrary, opposite trends are likely to prevail, including, among all, artificial adjustment of the unmanned systems to the categories of export products with relaxed requirements. The authors conclude that it would be equally difficult to overcome other drawbacks of export control regimes, such as possibilities of non-material technology transfer or nonadherence to corresponding restrictive regimes of countries which are the largest producers and exporters of unmanned systems.Concerning UAVs’ limitation and control, the authors outline two main tracks of debate at the international level — the UN discussions on restriction of use of the unmanned platforms classified as lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS) and less institutionalized discussions on prospects for incorporating of unmanned systems in the set of arms control agreements.The authors identify main barriers to providing effective control over the development of the military UAVs, as well as prospects for advancement in that direction, and, finally, formulate some policy relevant recommendations.…”
