The E-Marketing Mix Strategy of Tokopedia Salam during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Technological developments and government plans in the sharia economic sector supported by the large potential of the Muslim market triggered the launch of sharia features in the e-commerce marketplace. This study aimed to analyze the effect of the e-marketing mix consisting of e-product, e-price,e-place, and e-promotion variables on consumer decision through e-trust in the sharia marketplace Tokopedia Salam during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sampling method used was purposive sampling with 150 respondents. The data analysis method used was Partial Least Square. The results of the study showed that there is a direct significant effect between the e-marketing mix variables, namely e-product, e-price, and e-promotion on e-trust, except for the e-place. Meanwhile, only e-promotion and e-trust variables have a significant direct effect on consumer decision. The results of this study also showed that e-product, e-price, and e-promotion indirectly have a significant effect on consumer decision through e-trust, except for the e-place. Tokopedia Salam with its various sharia characteristics is expected to provide other offers during the pandemic with things that are more familiar to marketplace customers such as basic product, competitive prices, various promotions, and free shipping.
Quercetin Hybrids—Synthesis, Spectral Characterization and Radical Scavenging Potential

New quercetin-based derivatives are synthesized in an easily accessible one-pot manner. The method is based on the reaction of quercetin with in situ formed electrophilic N-alkoxycarbonylazolium ions. The position of the newly formed C-C bond and structure were spectrally characterized by 1D, 2D 1H, 13C-NMR, IR, and MS analysis. Thus, in all cases, good regioselectivity in the C-8 position for the obtained products was demonstrated. The obtained compounds were evaluated for their DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activity and compared to natural compounds—quercetin and rutin.
Attitudes and Perceptions Towards Cultured Meat Among General Population in Pakistan

Meat demand and production are under strain because of their effect on the atmosphere, animal welfare, and the growing demand for proteins worldwide. Cultured meat (CM) is now an industry, politics, and society's hot subject. While understanding of the effects is on the rise, opposition to the removal of meat from our diets remains. One alternative way of alleviating these consequences is by producing in vitro meat. A pre-coded questionnaire was used to poll the Pakistani population on their views and acceptance of laboratory-cultured meat. The acceptance of CM among the Pakistani population was poor at 27.1%. About one-third of the respondents showed positive attitudes and concerns towards CM and were willing to consume in vitro meat and its substitute products. Participants were more sensitive, concerning its safety, ethical issues, nutritional value, and other health-related concerns. Since the Pakistani population was less likely to accept CM, the government and stakeholders should address this problem through media campaigns and clear people's misconceptions regarding its safety and ethical concerns for the preservation of the environment and meeting the demand for protein.
Effects of adulterated palm cooking oil on the quality of fried chicken nuggets

Introduction. There is a rising concern over food safety caused by an increasing trend towards adulterating fresh cooking oil with used cooking oil in Malaysia. Recent decades have seen more cases of high-quality edible cooking oil adulteration with reused oil, driven by high market demand and profit margins. In this study, we aimed to analyze the properties of vegetable oils and their effect on the quality of fried chicken nuggets. Study objects and methods. We determined free fatty acid contents and characterized the properties of fresh palm olein, used cooking oil, and adulterated oil. We also compared the sensory quality attributes of chicken nuggets fried in fresh and adulterated oils. Results and discussion. The content of free fatty acids consistently increased with rising adulteration levels. The FTIR spectral analyses revealed significant differences between fresh, used, and adulterated oils at 3006, 2922, 2853, 2680, 1744, 1654, 987, 968, and 722 cm–1. The oil samples with high adulterant concentrations demonstrated a linear increasing trend in K232 and K 270 values, where higher absorbance values indicated severe deterioration in the oil quality. The sensory evaluation showed no significant effect (P > 0.05) of adulteration with used cooking oil on the quality of fried chicken nuggets. Conclusion. Our findings filled in a gap in the previous studies which only focused on the effects of adulteration on the oil properties. The study also provides valuable information to regulatory authorities on the reliability of quality parameters and modern instruments in edible oil adulteration detection.
A virtual host model of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection identifies early immune events as predictive of infection outcomes

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases and remains a significant global health burden. TB disease and pathology can present clinically across a spectrum of outcomes, ranging from total sterilization of infection to active disease. Much remains unknown about the biology that drives an individual towards various clinical outcomes as it is challenging to experimentally address specific mechanisms driving clinical outcomes. Furthermore, it is unknown whether numbers of immune cells in the blood accurately reflect ongoing events during infection within human lungs. Herein, we utilize a systems biology approach by developing a whole-host model of the immune response to Mtb across multiple physiologic and time scales. This model, called HostSim, tracks events at the cellular, granuloma, organ, and host scale and represents the first whole-host, multi-scale model of the immune response following Mtb infection. We show that this model can capture various aspects of human and non-human primate TB disease and predict that biomarkers in the blood may only faithfully represent events in the lung at early time points after infection. We posit that HostSim, as a first step toward personalized digital twins in TB research, offers a powerful computational tool that can be used in concert with experimental approaches to understand and predict events about various aspects of TB disease and therapeutics.
Calculation Model of the Axial Dispersion Distribution of Cylindrical-Warhead Fragments

The dispersion distribution characteristics of prefabricated fragments from an improvised explosive device (IED) are essential in defense technology development. To improve warhead design, it is essential to predict a fragment’s velocity and dispersion distribution accurately. This paper investigates a fragment’s flying angle from a detonated warhead with a cylindrical charge under a one-end central detonation. A modified formula for calculating the fragment dispersion distribution at each axial position of the warhead was obtained based on experimental data and model analysis. The impacts of the following parameters on the flying angle were considered in the formula: ratio of charge mass to shell mass, charge diameter, axial sparse effect, and relative axial shell position. The formula was verified by experimentation to be suitable for wide applications using different validation samples. Theoretical calculations with the formula show good accuracy in predicting the flying angle of cylindrical-shell fragments, agreeing with experimental data. The proposed model meets the error requirements of engineering applications. This work provides a theoretical foundation for subsequent research on damage effectiveness and IED damage assessment.
Fiber-Reinforced Polymer-Confined Non-Circular Columns with Shape Modification: A Comprehensive Review

The implementation of shape modification (SM) to reinforced concrete (RC) columns has been demonstrated to be effective when enhancing the effectiveness of the fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) confinement of the columns, particularly for non-circular columns. The SM approach generally includes modifying a square section into a circular one, modifying a rectangular section into an elliptical/oval one and modifying a square/rectangular section into a curvilinearized square/rectangular section. In this paper, a state-of-the-art review of studies on FRP-confined non-circular columns with SM is conducted. The effects of key parameters on the effectiveness of FRP confinement are discussed, and different methods for the implementation of SM in real applications are briefly introduced. The findings of the review further confirm the effectiveness of the SM approach, and the test results demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of section curvilinearization with a limited increase in cross-sectional area. Additionally, existing theoretical models for FRP-confined concrete in columns with SM are summarized. Further research opportunities associated with FRP-confined non-circular columns with SM are identified.

Risk Stratification of Thyroid Nodules: From Ultrasound Features to TIRADS

Simple Summary Thyroid nodules are a frequent clinical issue. Their incidence has increased mainly due to the widespread use of neck ultrasound scans. Most thyroid nodules are asymptomatic, incidentally discovered, and benign at cytology. Thyroid ultrasound is the most sensitive diagnostic tool to evaluate patients with nodular thyroid disease. It is therefore important to use the ultrasound features to select nodules that require a fine-needle aspiration cytology. Abstract Thyroid nodules are common in iodine deficient areas, in females, and in patients undergoing neck irradiation. High-resolution ultrasonography (US) is important for detecting and evaluating thyroid nodules. US is used to determine the size and features of thyroid nodules, as well as the presence of neck lymph node metastasis. It also facilitates guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA). The most consistent US malignancy features of thyroid nodules are spiculated margins, microcalcifications, a taller-than-wide shape, and marked hypoechogenicity. Increased nodular vascularization is not identified as a predictor of malignancy. Thyroid elastosonography (USE) is also used to characterize thyroid nodules. In fact, a low elasticity of nodules at USE has been related to a higher risk of malignancy. According to their US features, thyroid nodules can be stratified into three categories: low-, intermediate-, and high-risk nodules. US-FNA is suggested for intermediate and high-risk nodules.
Increased non-enzymatic glycation reported in Apiaceae family extracts

Prevention and treatment of diabetic complications implicates inhibition of free radicals and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) generated during diabetes. The present work is an investigation of In vitro anti-glycation activity of hydro-alcohol (HE), hot and cold aqueous extracts (HAE and CAE) of Moroccan plant species from Apiaceae family. Antiglycation activity of seven plant species extracts ( Ammodaucus leucotrichus , Daucus carota , Petroselinum sativum , Pimpinella anisum , Carum carvi, Coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare ), performed on BSA-Methylglyoxal system, was measured by fluorescence and native electrophoresis. Anti-oxidant activity and quantitative detection of chemical contents were assessed as well. Statistical analysis of principal components (PCA) allowed determining the implication of different parameters studied on glycation effect. Apiaceae family showed a strong dose-dependent glycation effect, activating both formation of Amadori products and fluorescent AGEs. This effect was stronger in Pimpinella anisum and Foeniculum vulgare extracts. Anti-glycation activity was recorded only at 1.5 mg/mL of extracts, with a significant correlation from antioxidant power that was between 65.29% and 81.05%. This family was generally poor in polyphenols and flavonoids with maximal values recorded in CAE (98.47±4.42 mg GA/g Dm) and HE (49.29±3.20 mg Qu/g Dm) respectively. The maximum value of tannins was 14.96±1.21 mg TA/g Dm. However, there was a significant richness in reducing sugar content. Anti-glycation effect of Apiaceae family lost its effectiveness with the increase of extract concentration. Glycation activity can be attributed to richness of this family by reduced sugar.
Japan and the new Indo-Pacific order: the rise of an entrepreneurial power

Abstract This article revisits the conceptualisation of (regional) order in International Relations (IR) theory to illuminate key aspects of Japan’s order-building role in the Indo-Pacific. The framework is based upon a multi-dimensional understanding of regional order-building allowing for an examination of Japan’s vision for a ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ (FOIP) policy ‘vision’, the challenges it faces as a secondary power, and its conduct as an emerging entrepreneurial power in the Indo-Pacific. The article’s central argument is that Japan’s order-building should be understood in the context of the country’s deeper strategic situation and, in particular, its position as a secondary, but still highly influential, power. This has implications for understanding Japan’s approach to international order and how it might deploy norm entrepreneurship in shaping the new Indo-Pacific order.
The Effect of Principal’s Academic Supervision on Strengthening 21st-Century Literacy Culture in Junior High School PE Learning

This study aims to determine the effect of planning, implementation, and evaluation of school principals' academic supervision on strengthening 21st-century literacy culture in junior high school (SMP) PE learning in Bantul and Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. This research is a type of correlational research with a quantitative approach to determine the relationship between two or more variables. Data collection techniques through questionnaires. The sample of this research is PE junior high school teachers totaling 54 respondents who were taken using the purposive sampling technique. The instruments in this study have been tested for validity and reliability, and have been consulted by experts. The data analysis technique uses regression analysis that has been tested for classical assumptions. Based on the results of the partial test, the significant value of the X1 variable is 0.000 < 0.05, X2 is 0.939 > 0.05 and X3 is 0.626 > 0.05. This means that partially the X1 variable has a significant effect on Y, while the X2 and X3 variables have no effect. Results (F Test) ANOVA obtained a significant value of 0.000 <0.05. This shows that the variables of planning, implementation, and evaluation of the principal's academic supervision simultaneously affect the strengthening of 21st-century literacy culture in PE learning at junior high schools in Bantul and Gunung Kidul. In addition, the R square value of 0.774 means that 77.2% of the strengthening of the 21st-century literacy culture of SMP PE is influenced by the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the principal's academic supervision.
A method for using stationary networks to observe long term trends of on-road emissions factors of primary aerosol from heavy duty vehicles

Abstract. Heavy-duty vehicles (HDV) contribute a significant, but decreasing, fraction of primary aerosol emissions in urban areas. Previous studies have shown spatial heterogeneity in compliance with regulation. Consequently, location-specific emissions factors are necessary to describe primary particulate matter (PM) emissions by HDV. Using near-road observations from the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) network over the 2009–2020 period in combination with Caltrans measurements of vehicle number and type, we determine primary PM2.5 emission factors from HDV on highways in the San Francisco Bay Area. We demonstrate that HDV primary aerosol emission factors derived using this method are in line with observations by other studies, that they decreased a by a factor of ~7 in the past decade, and that they are still 2–3 times higher than would be expected if all HDV were in compliance with California HDV regulations.
Only vaccinations cannot reduce mortality and stop the COVID-19 pandemic because of manifold environmental and socioeconomic factors driving diffusion

One of the fundamental problems in COVID-19 pandemic crisis is whether vaccinations are a sufficient strategy to reduce mortality and mitigate negative effects of this novel infectious disease in society. This study confronts the problem here by developing an analysis of the relation between people fully vaccinated and mortality between countries to clarify sources and effects of COVID-19 pandemic in society. Methodology applies correlation and regression analyses based on global data of more than 150 countries. Findings reveal a strong positive correlation between share of people fully vaccinated and COVID-19 mortality in January 2022 (r= .65, p-value <.01). Multiple analysis of regression shows that a 1% higher share of people fully vaccinated, increases the expected deaths per 100 000 people by 0.7% (p-value < 0.001), controlling GDP per capita between countries. These results seem to suggest that COVID-19 vaccinations are not a sufficient strategy to reduce the negative impact of the new infectious disease in society, because socioeconomic and environmental factors, mutations of the novel coronavirus and technological aspects of countries (e.g., equipment of non-invasive ventilators in countries) affect the spread and mortality of this pandemic between countries. Overall, then, a pandemic policy only based on vaccinations cannot cope with the eradication of COVID-19 pandemic because manifold factors drive the transmission dynamics of COVID-19 and generate a lot of negative impacts in economic systems, though high levels of vaccinations in some countries.
The Estimation of the Unsteady Aerodynamic Force Applied to a Turret in Flight

The spatially-temporally-resolved pressure field on a surface of a hemisphere-on-cylinder optical turret was characterized in a wind tunnel at M = 0.33 using fast-response Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP), simultaneously with 8 pressure sensors. A sparse unsteady pressure field was also obtained in-flight for subsonic speeds of M = 0.5 on the Airborne Aero-Optical Laboratory (AAOL) using 26 unsteady pressure sensors. Using the unsteady pressure data from PSP tests, the unsteady forces acting on the turret in the tunnel were calculated and discussed for different turret geometries and window viewing angles. Unsteady forces and moments acting on the turret in-flight were estimated using Linear Stochastic Estimation for different turret geometries and speeds and compared to the tunnel results. Using Proper Orthogonal Decomposition dominant surface pressure modes responsible for unsteady forces were identified and discussed.
Quality of Sediment Organic Matter Determines the Intertidal N2O Response to Global Warming

Estuaries and coasts are areas of intense biogeochemical cycling and are sensitive to global climate change. However, the effect of temperature increase on the emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) in different estuarine and coastal areas is still uncertain. In this study, we used laboratory incubation experiments to investigate increasing temperatures (12, 25, and 35°C) and tidal effects on N2O fluxes in intertidal sediments from the East China coast (ECC). Overall, the ECC acts as a net source of atmospheric N2O and exhibited considerable spatial variability over three orders of magnitude (from −0.17 to 8.4 μmol m−2 h−1). The warming promoted N2O emissions in most intertidal areas, while reducing N2O emissions at some sampling sites. In addition, the overall effect of flooding on N2O emissions changed from a positive to a negative effect with increasing temperature. By combining the sediment properties of all the sampling sites, we found that large differences in N2O emissions at the same amended floodwater nitrogen concentration were due to the quality and quantity of sediment organic matter. Sediment derived mainly from marine sources emitted more N2O than sediment derived from terrestrial sources. This suggests that the mangroves, salt marshes, and intertidal zones of estuaries have a mitigating effect on N2O emissions due to their elevated terrestrial organic matter inputs. This research improves our understanding of the impact of future global climatic changes on intertidal N2O fluxes, which can inform future studies and models and can be used to constrain intertidal N2O emissions.
The Acute Effects of Breakfast Drinks with Varying Protein and Energy Contents on Appetite and Free-Living Energy Intake in UK Older Adults

Proposed strategies for preventing protein deficiencies in older patients include increasing protein intake at breakfast. However, protein is highly satiating and the effects of very high protein intakes at breakfast on subsequent appetite and free-living energy intake (EI) in older adults are unclear. This study compared the acute effects of two breakfast drinks varying in protein and energy contents on appetite and free-living EI in healthy older adults using a randomized 2 × 2 crossover design. Participants (n = 48 (20 men, 28 women); mean ± SD age: 69 ± 3 years; BMI: 22.2 ± 2.0 kg·m−2; fat-free mass: 45.5 ± 8.0 kg) consumed two drinks for breakfast (high-protein (30.4 ± 5.3 g), low-energy (211.2 ± 37.1 kcal) content (HPLE) and very high-protein (61.8 ± 9.9 g), fed to energy requirements (428.0 ± 68.9 kcal) (VHPER)) one week apart. Appetite perceptions were assessed for 3 h post-drink and free-living EI was measured for the remainder of the day. Appetite was lower in VHPER than HPLE from 30 min onwards (p < 0.01). Free-living energy and protein intake did not differ between conditions (p = 0.814). However, 24 h EI (breakfast drink intake + free-living intake) was greater in VHPER than HPLE (1937 ± 568 kcal vs. 1705 ± 490 kcal; p = 0.001), as was 24 h protein intake (123.0 ± 26.0 g vs. 88.6 ± 20.9 g; p < 0.001). Consuming a very high-protein breakfast drink acutely suppressed appetite more than a low-energy, high-protein drink in older adults, though free-living EI was unaffected. The long-term effects of adopting such a breakfast strategy in older adults at high risk of energy and protein malnutrition warrants exploration.
