PENAHANAN IJAZAH PEKERJA OLEH PEMBERI KERJA DALAM PERSPEKTIF TEORI KEADILAN BERMARTABAT [Detention of Diploma Certificates by Employers from the Perspective of the Dignified-Justice Theory]

A diploma certificate is a document that has a value to a person has after he/she has completed one stage of education. A diploma certificate is useful for job applications depending on the qualifications that were acquired. However, there is a custom in society where employers withhold their workers’ diplomas for a specified period of service. Withholding diplomas sometimes gives workers disadvantages because of the lack of security guarantee and also it creates greater risk and responsibility for employers. This research is conducted with juridical-normative methods. In terms of the Dignified Justice Theory which was coined by Teguh Prasetyo, the theory focuses on the concept of humanizing humans (nge wongke wong), therefore detention of diplomas that is carried out unilaterally by the employer without any guarantee of security protection for the workers’ diploma is considered as unfair and violates the rights or harms workers. In this case, it is necessary to have detailed clauses set out in the work agreement. In addition, the employer must have a Standard Operating Procedure regarding the holding of diplomas to ensure the security as long as they are kept.Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak: Ijazah merupakan dokumen yang bernilai bagi seseorang setelah yang bersangkutan menyelesaikan satu tahapan pendidikan. Ijazah berguna untuk melamar pekerjaan sesuai dengan kualifikasi yang dimiliki pemegang ijazah tersebut. Namun, terdapat sebuah kebiasaan di masyarakat dimana pemberi kerja menahan ijazah pekerjanya dalam masa kerja yang ditentukan. Penahanan ijazah terkadang merugikan pekerja dikarenakan keamanan ijazah yang kurang terjamin serta menimbulkan risiko dan tanggung jawab yang lebih besar pada pemberi kerja untuk menyimpan dokumen berharga tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah yuridis-normatif. Ditinjau dari Teori Keadilan Bermartabat yang dicetuskan oleh Teguh Prasetyo, yang menitikberatkan pada konsep memanusiakan manusia (nge wongke wong), penahanan ijazah yang dilakukan secara sepihak oleh pemberi kerja tanpa adanya jaminan atas perlindungan keamanan bagi ijazah pekerja dinilai kurang adil dan melanggar hak atau merugikan pekerja. Dalam hal ini, perlu adanya klausul yang terperinci yang dituangkan di dalam perjanjian kerja. Selain itu, pemberi kerja harus memiliki prosedur pelaksanaan mengenai penahanan ijazah untuk menjamin keamanan ijazah pekerja selama ijazah tersebut disimpan oleh pemberi kerja.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation Events during the COVID-19 Pandemic: The User Preferences of VirBELA Virtual 3D Platform at the SHIFT Event Organized in Finland

The COVID-19 pandemic brought abrupt changes for international events that promote entrepreneurship and innovation. Usually, such events bring together thousands of participants to provide them with information about ongoing and emerging trends in their fields, to network with old and new colleagues and get ideas that can develop into innovations. In 2020, most such events were cancelled. Few events were organized virtually, that is without participants physically coming together. Compared with physical face-to-face events, virtual events reduce the travel-related emissions and consumption, thereby supporting sustainability. This article studies the SHIFT entrepreneurship and innovation event held virtually in October 2020 and organized in Finland. For this article, the author gathered data about user preferences from surveying participants, speakers, presenters and organizers, almost all of whom were first-time users of VirBELA’s 3D virtual platform. Furthermore, participant observation and interviews via avatars were conducted during the event. At the virtual event, 68% of respondents talked with former acquaintances, and 68% also talked with new acquaintances, and 53% opinioned that using the virtual platform can support the emergence of innovations. Virtual entrepreneurship and innovation events have potential to support networking, novel ideas and thus innovations, but issues of trust and confidentiality arose concerns among some participants.
Journal of Economics and Business

Women entrepreneur has gained utmost importance in the past few decades in Malaysia due to their significant contribution to the country's economic development. However, few business challenges create a constant obstruction for many women entrepreneurs such as lack of ICT knowledge, time constraint to learn ICT, lack of technological expertise, etc. The present study aims to identify the effect of ICT adoption on business performance and examine how ICT usage helped them handle operational business matters. The present study adopted the qualitative research strategy, and researchers interviewed ten (10) women entrepreneurs for this study. A semi-structured interview technique was applied, and six Malay and four Chinese entrepreneurs made the study population. The result highlights that Malay and Chinese entrepreneurs use ICT in their business operation such as warehousing system, purchasing system, HRM software and accounting system, purchase order system, production system, internal communication, and AutoCAD. The present study may support the prospective entrepreneurs in considering the ICT usage to embark on technology and innovation and provide inputs to policymakers to design a proper support system for Malaysian women entrepreneurs, particularly those new entrepreneurs who are mostly young and inexperienced.
Effect of the Long-Term Application of Sewage Sludge to A Calcareous Soil on Its Total and Bioavailable Content in Trace Elements, and Their Transfer to the Crop

Sewage sludge (SS) can be used as an organic amendment in agricultural soils, provided they comply with the relevant legislation. This use can incorporate traces of metals into the soil, which can cause environmental or human health problems. In the study period between 1992 and 2018 (26 years), it was observed that the use of SS as an organic fertilizer significantly increased the total concentration of Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Hg of this study between 55.6% (Hg) and 7.0% (Ni). The concentration of Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni and Cd extracted with DTPA, also increased between 122.2% (Zn) and 11.3% (Cd). In contrast, the Mn concentrations extracted with Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid (DTPA)were 6.5% higher in the treatments without SS. These changes in the soil had an impact on the crop, which showed a significant increase in the concentration of Zn, Cu and Cr in the grain, between 15.0% (Cr) and 4.4% (Cu), and a decrease in the concentration of Mn, Cr and Ni in the barley straw when SS was added to the soil between 32.2% (Mn) and 29.6% (Ni). However, the limits established by current legislation on soil protection and food were not exceeded. This limited transfer to the crop, is likely due to the high content of carbonates and organic matter in the soil, which limit the bioavailability of most of the trace metals (TM) in the soil. As a conclusion, we observe that the use of SS as an organic amendment increased the concentration of some TM in the soil, in its bioavailable forms, and in the crop.
Introducing a two‐dimensional graph of docking score difference vs. similarity of ligand‐receptor interactions

Observation of molecular docking results was generally performed by analyzing the docking score and the interacting amino acid residues separately either in tables or graphs. Sometimes it was not easy to rank the tested ligands’ docking results, especially if there were many ligands. This study aims to introduce a new way to analyze docking results with a two‐dimensional graph between the difference in docking score and the similarity of ligand‐receptor interactions. Molecular docking was performed with one reference ligand and several test ligands. The docking score difference was obtained between the test and the reference ligands as the graph’s x‐axis. Meanwhile, the y‐axis contains the similarity of ligand‐receptor interactions, obtained from the ratio of amino acid residues and the types of interactions between the test and reference ligands. Docking result analysis was more straightforward because two critical parameters were presented in one graph. This graph could be used to support the analysis of the docking results.
Research on Dithianon to Evaluate Suspects of Reduced Sensitivity of Venturia inaequalis with Different Methodologies in Italian Apple Areas

Dithianon is a multi-site fungicide and has never been object of suspects and reports of reduced sensitivity and activity. Italian IFP technicians had the suspect of reductions of activity by this fungicide on Venturia inaequalis. Methodologies, in vitro and in vivo were carried out to verify this suspect. Populations poorly controlled with suspects on dithianon and sensible ones were utilized. The tests in vitro permitted to evidence light and non-significant reductions of sensitivity of poorly controlled populations with respect to sensible ones. In vivo tests on seedlings were non-reliable for a general low activity of dithianon. On the contrary, the original in vivo methodology on grafted apple plants showed several reductions of activity, with moderate levels and a spot distribution in orchards. The cause was probably due to the increased treatments with dithianon caused by problems on other groups of fungicides and by a high infective pressure in some years. It is discussed if this reduction can be considered a resistance phenomenon or a temporary modification of the interactions of plant-fungus-fungicide.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THREE WILD EDIBLE FRUITS OF UTTRAKHAND FOR ANTIOXIDANT, ANTIPROLIFERATIVE ACTIVITIES AND POLYPHENOLIC COMPOSITION

Ficus palmata, Pyrus pashia and Ficus auriculata are the popular wild edible fruits of Uttarakhand. The present study aimed to evaluate their total phenolic, flavonoid contents, antioxidant and antiproliferative activities by using two solvents namely 80% aqueous methanol and acetone. The results showed highest phenolic and flavonoid contents in the Ficus palmata acetone extract, while lowest in Ficus auriculata and Pyrus pashia methanol extracts respectively. Antioxidant activities were highest in the acetone extract of Ficus palmata and Pyrus pashia respectively. RP%HPLC analysis revealed abundance of gallic acid and catechin in all the fruit extracts, while traces of caffeic acid, coumaric acid and ellagic acid. All the fruit extracts possessed antiproliferative activities (22%63%) against cervi cal cancer cells C33A being highest in Ficus palmata, while showing no cytotoxicity to the normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Therefore, Ficus palmata fruit extracts could be used for the developing herbal formulation that can reduce the oxidative stress and prevent cancer development.
Implementation of generative adversarial networks in HPCC systems using GNN bundle

HPCC systems, an open source cluster computing platform for big data analytics consists of generalized neural network bundle with a wide variety of features which can be used for various neural network applications. To enhance the functionality of the bundle, this paper proposes the design and development of generative adversarial networks (GANs) on HPCC systems platform using ECL, a declarative language on which HPCC systems works. GANs have been developed on the HPCC platform by defining the generator and discriminator models separately, and training them by batches in the same epoch. In order to make sure that they train as adversaries, a certain weights transfer methodology was implemented. MNIST dataset which has been used to test the proposed approach has provided satisfactory results. The results obtained were unique images very similar to the MNIST dataset, as it were expected.
Fiber-Filled Hybrid Hydrogel for Bio-Manufacturing

Extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) bio-printing deposits cell-laden bio-ink with high spatial resolution and may offer living tissue regeneration. Due to the biocompatibility, very low cytotoxicity, and high-water content, natural hydrogels are commonly considered as the cell-laden bio-ink for scaffold fabrication. However, due to the low mechanical integrity, a large-scale scaffold (>10 layers) with intricate architecture is a challenge. In this paper, we developed and characterized a novel bio-ink consisting of alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and 2,2,6,6 tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO)-mediated nanofibrillated cellulose (TO-NFC) for bio-printing applications. The potential of cellulose derivatives in terms of rheological property to satisfy scaffold architecture and cell viability is explored with a relatively small amount of solid content (<5%). By combining alginate, CMC, and TO-NFC as a hybrid hydrogel, we design to overcome their individual challenges as bio-ink. At the design stage, we have considered two main characteristics: printability and shape fidelity with quantitative indices following their rheological characteristics. Our proposed hydrogel blend (5% solid content) demonstrates a 0% collapse rate for 3-mm pillar distance and 25% fusion rate for 5 mm × 5 mm pore size which can ensure shape fidelity. We fabricated 42 layers and a 9-mm tall scaffold structure with relatively lower applied pressure (10 psi). The proposed hybrid hydrogel is used to prepare bio-ink encapsulating cells, and cell viability is measured as 90% after 10 days of incubation.
The Production of Zeolite Y Catalyst From Palm Kernel Shell for Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit

Exorbitant costs of fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) catalysts coupled with their ever-increasing demand have led researchers to develop alternative materials from indigenous sources. In this study, the zeolite Y component of the FCCU catalyst was synthesized from palm kernel shells. Leaching was carried out with the aid of citric acid to remove impurities. The synthesis process was done using alkaline hydrothermal treatment while varying reagent concentration and reaction time. The resultant products were characterized using XRF, XRD, FTIR, BET, and SEM analysis. The XRD and XRF showed a high silicate content level, while an 85% reduction in iron oxide impurities was observed after leaching. The process carried out at a duration of 9 hours, a temperature of 80°C with a NaOH molarity strength of 2 mol/L, had the highest SiO2 and Si/Al ratio value. A spongy, porous zeolite crystal was formed with the presence of hydroxyls in its sodalite cage. All samples had a combination of types II & I adsorption isotherms, Si/Al ratio of 2–5, and specific surface area within 80–260 m2/g, which indicates the presence of intermediate mesostructured Zeolite Y catalyst. Synthesized zeolite Y showed a more significant gap in its structural formation as the addition of NaOH decreased the grain size by 14.3%. FTIR highlighted the significant functional groups present in the novel compound, which, when compared to previous works, proves its suitability.
An improved sliding-mode observer-based equivalent-input-disturbance approach for permanent magnet synchronous motor drives with faults in current measurement circuits

The reliability of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) systems is very important in high-precision industrial drives. However, disturbance or sensor fault may cause the performance degradation of the system. This paper presents an improved sliding-mode-observer (SMO)-based equivalent-input-disturbance (EID) approach for the rejection of faults in current measurement circuits of a PMSM drive. A system model, which contains faults in current measurement circuits, is first constructed by using EIDs in control input circuits. Then, an improved SMO is designed to estimate the equivalent-input-faults. The effect of the faults on the system is rejected based on the EID theory. Moreover, the global stability and convergence analysis is also provided. Experiments and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
The manifestation of the 10 personality aspects amongst the facets of the Basic Traits Inventory

Personality traits play an important role in the prediction of important work-related outcomes. Adapting the level at which personality constructs are measured can assist in predicting work-related outcomes at the corresponding level of specificity with greater accuracy. This study investigates whether eight hierarchical factors (also referred to as personality aspects) manifest amongst the facets of the Basic Traits Inventory (BTI). The study is based on an archival dataset of 1359 South African employees. Orthogonal first-order, single-factor, higher-order, oblique lower-order and bifactor models were specified to investigate the hierarchical structure of eight of the 10 personality aspects. The evidence supports the notion that seven of the 10 personality aspects (as measured by the BTI) could be more parsimoniously interpreted as total scores, but not necessarily hierarchical factors, amongst South African employees. It is, therefore, practically meaningful for practitioners to calculate such scores when the need arises for more detailed levels of prediction when selecting applicants or developing employees.
“Mixed” Sexual Offending Against Both Children and Adults: An Empirical Comparison With Individuals Who Exclusively Offended Against Child or Adult Victims

Individuals who sexually offended against both children and adults might be particularly dangerous. However, studies on this group are rare due to methodological difficulties. We investigated adverse childhood experiences, criminological variables, and other characteristics as well as recidivism in individuals who sexually offended against mixed-aged victims (ISOMAVs) compared to individuals who exclusively offended against adults (ISOAs) or children (ISOCs). Compared to previous studies, we applied more stringent classification criteria by including only individuals with at least two past sexual offenses. Analyses revealed that ISOMAVs more often had an extensive history of sexual offending. In addition, they were more likely than ISOAs to assault males, and more likely than ISOCs to assault strangers. Violent reoffending was more common in ISOMAVs compared to ISOCs, but ISOMAVs showed no more sexual recidivism. Other findings, limitations, and implications for research and practice are discussed.
Mapping Sub-Metre 3D Land-Sea Coral Reefscapes Using Superspectral WorldView-3 Satellite Stereoimagery

Shallow coral reefs ensure a wide portfolio of ecosystem services, from fish provisioning to tourism, that support more than 500 million people worldwide. The protection and sustainable management of these pivotal ecosystems require fine-scale but large-extent mapping of their 3D composition. The sub-metre spaceborne imagery can neatly produce such an expected product using multispectral stereo-imagery. We built the first 3D land-sea coral reefscape mapping using the 0.3 m superspectral WorldView-3 stereo-imagery. An array of 13 land use/land cover and sea use/sea cover habitats were classified using sea-, ground- and air-truth data. The satellite-derived topography and bathymetry reached vertical accuracies of 1.11 and 0.89 m, respectively. The value added of the eight mid-infrared (MIR) channels specific to the WorldView-3 was quantified using the classification overall accuracy (OA). With no topobathymetry, the best combination included the eight-band optical (visible + near-infrared) and the MIR8, which boosted the basic blue-green-red OA by 9.58%. The classes that most benefited from this MIR information were the land use “roof” and land cover “soil” classes. The addition of the satellite-derived topobathymetry to the optical+MIR1 produced the best full combination, increasing the basic OA by 9.73%, and reinforcing the “roof” and “soil” distinction.
Effects of salt stress on physiological and biochemical responses of three maize genotypes at the early seedling stage

Salt stress is one of the major global problems for crop productivity in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In this study, variations in some physiological parameters, water relations, and antioxidant systems under salinity (300 mM NaCl) among three maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes (‘P3167’, ‘32K61’, and ‘Bora’) were investigated. Our result indicated that shoot growth is more sensitive to salinity as compared to root growth. Salt stress led to physiological drought in all maize genotypes as indicated by the significant decrease in relative water content and increase in water deficit index. Salt stress increased SOD activity in all genotypes showing an efficient formation and detoxification of superoxide radical. The constant level of oxidative markers (MDA and H2O2) and the increased level of the reduced ascorbate and phenolic may indicate that non-enzymatic antioxidants are responsible for the elimination of oxidative stress. Changes in ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities under salinity demonstrated a functional failure in the ascorbate-glutathione cycle, especially in ‘P3167’ and ‘32K61’. Based on the presented results we may conclude that the genotype ‘Bora’ is tolerant to salinity while ‘P3167’ and ‘32K61’ are sensitive.
Production and purification of anhydrous sodium sulfide

Anhydrous sodium sulfide (Na2S) is a key component in sodium-sulfur batteries as well as an important chemical reagent. However, anhydrous Na2S is currently prohibitively expensive for applications outside of research labs, and purity is a concern. Herein, we compare the properties of three forms of anhydrous Na2S: (i) commercially supplied, (ii) Na2S produced through dehydration and purification of commercial hydrate flakes (Na2S•xH2O), and (iii) Na2S formed by the reaction of hydrogen sulfide with dissolved sodium alkoxide and recovered through solvent evaporation. Vacuum annealing of low-cost Na2S hydrate at 150°C produced anhydrous Na2S. This dehydrated material retains impurity signatures attributed to polysulfide (Na2S x ) and oxysulfur impurities (SO x ) that were also observed in commercially supplied Na2S. Impurity removal typically requires hydrogen reduction at very high temperature (700–900°C), but it is demonstrated here that this can instead be accomplished at 400°C, preventing auto-oxidation and following kinetics well-described by a shrinking core model. The solution-based approach resulted in the direct synthesis of crystalline Na2S anhydride at low temperatures (100°C) without need for further purification. Both approaches presented herein are inherently scalable with materials costs that are one to two orders of magnitude lower than the current price of anhydrous Na2S. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
