Vascular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Role of Inflammation by Kerstin Benz, Karl-Friedrich Hilgers, Christoph Daniel, Kerstin Amann

“…Cardiovascular disease is approximately 3 times more frequent in patients with CKD than in other known cardiovascular risk groups and cardiovascular mortality is approximately 10-fold more frequent in patients on dialysis compared to the age- and sex-matched segments of the nonrenal population. Among other structural and functional factors advanced calcification of atherosclerotic plaques as well as of the arterial and venous media has been described as potentially relevant for this high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. …”

Implementation of The Obligation To Hold Annual Members Meetings of Cooperatives In Gianyar Regency by Ni Kadek Nuraiti, Amelia Sri Kusuma Dewi, Fathul Laila

“…The implementation of the Annual Members Meeting (RAT) of cooperatives in Gianyar Regency is still ineffective due to weak internalization of legal norms, low awareness of management and members, and structural, technical, and cultural obstacles. This ineffectiveness shows that cooperative legal regulations are not optimal due to a lack of commitment and a strong legal culture. …”
