Morphological characteristics of Phaius spp. orchids from Indonesia

Abstract. Hartati S, Samanhudi, Manurung IR, Cahyono O. 2021. Morphological characteristics of Phaius spp. orchids from Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 1991-1995. Orchid is one of the ornamental plants with great economic value in various communities. Characterization and grouping of several orchid species can be used in breeding efforts to obtain hybrid with the desired traits. This study is aimed to characterize the morphological appearance of Phaius orchids and to cluster the species based on their similarity in morphological characteristics. Five species of Phaius (P. tankervilleae, P. indigoferus, P. montanus, P. amboinensis, and P. callosus) of the collection of the Bogor Botanical Garden were observed based on 30 morphological characters including the characters of stems, pseudobulbs, leaves and flowers. The data obtained were converted into binary data and computed using the Numerical Taxonomy and Multivariate Analysis System (NTSYS) Spc 2.02 program to produce dendrogram. The results show that based on the morphological characterization of the five species of Phaius spp. , they have similarities from 63% to 80%. Among the five Phaius species, P. amboinensis, P. tankervilleae, and P. montanus had 80% similarity and can be used as parents for crossing.
Ideology and Media Framing: Stigmatisation of LGBT in Media Coverage in Indonesia

This essay analyzes how the ideology that is owned by the media influences the media's framing in reporting a reality. The framing dimension will always be related to the selection of issues, emphases, and projection on certain aspects of the issue. For this reason, this study will present the media cases of Republika.co.id and Tempo.co in informing LGBT reality. So, the reality of LGBT conveyed by Republika.co.id and Tempo.co cannot be seen separately, because it will be related to the interests that these two media outlets want to serve by reporting the reality. The analysis demonstrates that the reporting of Republika.co.id and Tempo.co on LGBT is influenced by each outlet's ideology. Republika.co.id, which embraces the ideology of nationalism and Islam, tends to report the rejection of LGBT presence in Indonesia. Republika.co.id provides a negative stigma against LGBT issues. It is considered that LGBT is a serious threat to the nation and state because behaviour is deemed not following religion, generally applicable social norms, and the laws of Indonesia. Tempo.co does not see LGBT as a serious problem for the Indonesian people. Tempo.co considers the behaviour and activities of LGBT people to be normal, which is part of human rights that must be respected by the Indonesian people.
Polymeric nanomicelles for cancer theragnostics

ABSTRACT Recently, interdisciplinary research in cancer diagnosis and therapy has evolved to the point where nanotechnology particularly polymeric nanodelivery systems are utilized for theragnostic applications. Nanoscale are being trialed for specific targeted delivery of drugs, micelles, antibody, DNA, protein, etc. to cancer sites to improve the therapeutic efficacy due to improved distribution specificity, increased internalization, and intracellular drug delivery that minimize the side effects. Polymeric micelles have been subjected to extensive studies in the field of drug delivery, functioning as drug solubilizers and carriers. More recently, a micelle constructed as a hybrid from hydrophilic oligonucleotide and hydrophobic polymer has drawn close attention. Mostly used micelles are synthesized with polymer and have several physical properties, including molecular weight and copolymer block composition, which can be tailored to alter the vesicle structure. In this review, we focused on the different polymeric nanodelivery systems is association with different type of cancer therapeutics such as micelles, drug, aptamer, DNA, recombinant protein, miRNA, siRNA, small inhibitors, gene, antibody, proteins and some conjugating molecules that involved in cancer therapy have been discussed.

Study on Knudsen flow through membrane pores using analytical approximation and Monte Carlo method

In this study, Knudsen diffusion of low-pressure gases of infinite mean free path through various tubes is studied using the integral equation theory, standard diffusion theory, and Monte Carlo simulations. We investigated the transmission probabilities (TPs) of linearly diverging-converging, sinusoidally bulging, and periodic tubes as compared with TPs of conventional straight cylinders. An exact analytic solution for the TP through the straight cylindrical tube was developed using the standard diffusion theory with a linear concentration approximation. Integral equation theories for the TPs through the divergingconverging and bulging tubes were developed. Monte Carlo simulation techniques were applied to calculate TPs through all the tube types whose azimuthal symmetry was held with tube radius changing only along the axial coordinate (z). The equivalent radii of these tubes are calculated as root-mean-squares of the z-dependent radius to have the same internal void volume. The linearly diverging-converging and sinusoidally bulging tubes provide noticeably higher TPs than those of the equivalent straight tubes. Periodic tubes show that if the tube length scaled by the equivalent diameter is on the order of or greater than the periodicity coefficient (equal to the number of peaks on the tube wall), the TP of the periodic tube is larger than that of the equivalent straight tube. In general, an opening at the tube inlet significantly enhances the Knudsen diffusion.
Women’s perceived support of parents and parents-in-law in China: Socioeconomic resources, reciprocity, and family context

Filial support has been recognized as a main source of social support for China’s aging population. While traditional Chinese families generally adhere to patrilineal, patriarchal, and patrilocal principles, there have been signs of an emerging trend of a complex, bilateral family system that has influenced the ways in which married women support elderly family members, both natal kin and in-laws, in contemporary China. However, little research exists focusing on the perspectives of married women in China on intergenerational support. Drawing on nationally representative data from the Chinese General Social Survey, this study investigates the patterns and determinants of women’s financial and instrumental support of their parents and parents-in-law in China. The main results show that, while education and income separately affect women’s support patterns, their husband’s income level is the crucial factor determining women’s financial support for parents and parents-in-law. In terms of instrumental support, norms of reciprocity are evident between women and parents/parents-in-law. Despite a positive association between financial support that women give to parents-in-law and that which they receive from parents-in-law, women’s financial support tends to be less frequent when their own parents have financially supported them. The implications of these findings for our understanding of intergenerational support mechanisms and for future research are discussed.
An Approach to the Analysis of Causes of Delays in Industrial Construction Projects through Planning and Statistical Computing

The analysis of the planning activities of industrial construction projects can help to evaluate some of the causes that have an impact on the variation of execution times and can also contribute to identifying those activities and components that are most likely to experience or cause delays. Data analysis is facilitated by the use of techniques based on statistical programs, allowing delays to be unequivocally linked to the different elements that make up these projects. In a theoretical study, a simulation is carried out with data that are hypothetical but consistent with real projects, which are transformed and standardized before being uploaded to the statistical software. Using the statistical software’s graphical interface, the data set is analyzed from a descriptive point of view, unraveling the relationships between variables and factors by means of contingency tables and scatter plots. Using other techniques such as the comparison of variables and correlation studies, as well as linear regression and variance analysis, the characteristics are evaluated and the differences in project delays are investigated in order to determine, after the fact, which components have the highest rates of delay in execution times.
Aerial attack strategies of hawks hunting bats, and the adaptive benefits of swarming

Abstract Aggregation can reduce an individual’s predation risk, by decreasing predator hunting efficiency or displacing predation onto others. Here, we explore how the behaviors of predator and prey influence catch success and predation risk in Swainson’s hawks Buteo swainsoni attacking swarming Brazilian free-tailed bats Tadarida brasiliensis on emergence. Lone bats including stragglers have a high relative risk of predation, representing ~5% of the catch but ~0.2% of the population. Attacks on the column were no less successful than attacks on lone bats, so hunting efficiency is not decreased by group vigilance or confusion. Instead, lone bats were attacked disproportionately often, representing ~10% of all attacks. Swarming therefore displaces the burden of predation onto bats outside the column—whether as isolated wanderers not benefitting from dilution through attack abatement, or as peripheral stragglers suffering marginal predation and possible selfish herd effects. In contrast, the hawks’ catch success depended only on the attack maneuvers that they employed, with the odds of success being more than trebled in attacks involving a high-speed stoop or rolling grab. Most attacks involved one of these two maneuvers, which therefore represent alternative rather than complementary tactics. Hence, whereas a bat’s survival depends on maintaining column formation, a hawk’s success does not depend on attacking lone bats—even though their tendency to do so is sufficient to explain the adaptive benefits of their prey’s aggregation behavior. A hawk’s success instead depends on the flight maneuvers it deploys, including the high-speed stoop that is characteristic of many raptors. Swarming bats emerging from a massive desert roost reduce their predation risk by maintaining tight column formation, because the hawks that predate them attack peripheral stragglers and isolated wanderers disproportionately. Whereas a bat’s predation risk depends on maintaining its position within the column, the catch success of a hawk depends on how it maneuvers itself to attack, and is maximized by executing a high-speed dive or rolling grab maneuver.
Analytical method development and validation for Candesartan Cilexetil as bulk drug and in pharmaceutical dosage forms by HPLC

A simple, sensitive and inexpensive isocratic reverse-phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed for quantitative determination of Candesartan cilexetil, as bulk drug and in pharmaceutical dosage forms. Chromatographic separation was achieved on an Octa Decyl Silyl column (C-18, 250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle) with a 20:80 (v/v) mixture of phosphate buffer, pH 2.5, and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL / min and the detection wavelength was 215 nm. Resolution of Candesartan cilexetil was greater than 2.0. The drug was subjected to forced degradation such as photochemical oxidation, chemical oxidation, acid hydrolysis, base hydrolysis, different pH range, aqueous & non aqueous solution and thermal stress. The substantial degradation occurred in alkaline and acidic media and under oxidative and hydrolytic stress conditions and also in aqueous & non-aqueous hydrolysis. The method was validated for Accuracy, Precision, Specificity, Limit of Detection, Limit of Quantification and Linearity Range.
Electromyography changes in assessment of functional status of muscles in subjects with knee-osteoarthritis undergoing low level laser therapy

Introduction and Aim: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease which is one of the leading causes of disability in elderly people. Electromyography (EMG) is an electrophysiological method in evaluating skeletal muscle activity. Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) is a modality of treatment used in several conditions required to suppress the pain, inflammation, stimulation of healing and restoration of function. Surface EMG parameters were studied before and after the low level laser therapy in subjects with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: Subjects with knee OA participated in the study. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) was administered using a laser device with probe giving maximum power output of 10 mw with a wavelength of 810 nm. Surface electromyography (sEMG) of quadriceps muscles was recorded in all the study participants before and after the therapy. The parameters were statistically compared. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the maximum contraction and duration of contraction before and after the laser intervention in all the muscles. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the muscle performance increased in the subjects with knee OA after the LLLT.
Rethinking infrastructure supply chain management – a manifesto for change

ABSTRACT Infrastructure projects exemplify engineer-to-order supply chains, where there is a high degree of complexity and uncertainty associated with developing a ‘unique’ product. While there is much advocacy of translating operational excellence techniques from high volume manufacturing sectors, we argue that such an approach is based on a mis-presumption of order and structure at all systems levels. We suggest an alternative ‘travel of an idea’ from the knowledge management discipline, a phenomenological framework describing contexts in terms of ordered and un-ordered, which directs us towards the need for diverse management approaches if we are to minimise the risk of project underperformance and failure. We contemplate the value of the framework and reflect on the contribution it can make to the construction industry specifically and to engineer-to-order production systems more generally; we provide a basis to bring a healthy challenge when ‘travelling ideas’ and expose how unthinking choices can be expected to fail.

Dampak Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar di Komunitas terhadap Kunjungan Pasien COVID-19 di Rumah Sakit

Pandemi Covid-19 ini sudah berlangsung lebih dari enam bulan, jumlah pasien terus bertambah, dan belum ada tanda tanda kurva epidemi turun. Sementara sudah banyak kebijakan yang dikeluarkan oleh pemerintah pusat dan pemerintah daerah untuk mencegah penularan. Kebijakan pemerintah dalam pelaksanaan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) merupakan harapan bagi rumah sakit untuk mengurangi jumlah kenaikan kasus Covid-19 di rumah sakit. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendokumentasikan dampak kebijakan terkait PSBB terhadap kunjungan pasien penanganan COVID-19 di wilayah DIY dan DKI Jakarta melalui pendekatan penelitian kuantitatif dengan analisis penelitian deskriptif. Sejak Januari sampai 7 Agustus 2020, terdapat sekitar 241 regulasi regulasi tingkat nasional dan daerah, di mana 100 mengatur mengenai kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) dan sisanya mengatur hal lain. Bersamaan dengan penerbitan kebijakan tersebut, pada 25 Maret – 5 Juli 2020 jumlah angka kunjungan pasien penanganan covid di rumah sakit fluktuatif. Pemerintah dan pemerintah daerah DIY dan DKI Jakarta sudah mengupayakan berbagai kebijakan pembatasan sosial, sementara disisi lain kunjungan pasien rumah sakit baik itu pasien dalam pengawasan (sekarang dikenal dengan sebutan suspect) dan pasien konfirmasi positif masih belum menunjukkan penurunan secara signifikan. Selama Maret hingga Juli, terlihat bahwa tidak terjadi lonjakan pasien yang ekstrim yang melampaui kapasitas kesehatan setempat. Artinya kebijakan pembatasan sosial ini mampu menekan tingkat kunjungan pasien. Sehingga selama belum terjadi lonjakan pasien dengan pemberlakuan kebijakan pembatasan sosial, dapat memberikan waktu untuk pemerintah daerah dalam upaya menyiapkan kapasitas lonjakan ( surge capacity ) dengan memperbaiki maupun meningkatkan kapasitas layanan kesehatan.

Evaluation of energy consumption of LPWAN technologies

The majority of IoT implementations demand sensor nodes to run reliably for an extended time. Furthermore, the radio settings can endure a high data rate transmission while optimizing the energy-efficiency. The LoRa/LoRaWAN is one of the primary low-power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies that has highly enticed much concentration. The energy limits is a significant issue in wireless sensor networks since battery lifetime that supplies sensor nodes have a restricted amount of energy and neither expendable nor rechargeable in most cases. A common hypothesis is that the energy consumed by sensors in sleep mode is negligible. With this hypothesis, the usual approach is to consider subsets of nodes that reach all the iterative targets. These subsets also called coverage sets, are then put in the active mode, considering the others are in the low-power or sleep mode. In this paper, we address this question by proposing an energy consumption model based on LoRa and LoRaWAN, which optimizes the energy consumption of the sensor node for different tasks for a period of time. Our energy consumption model assumes the following, the processing unit is in on-state along the working sequence which enhances the MCU unit by constructing it in low-power modes through most of the activity cycle, a constant time duration, and the radio module sends a packet of data at a specified transmission power level. The proposed analytical approach permits considering the consumed power of every sensor node element where the numerical results show that the scenario in which the sensor node transfers data to the gateway then receives an acknowledgment RX2 without receiving RX1 consumes the most energy; furthermore, it can be used to analyze different LoRaWAN modes to determine the most desirable sensor node design to reach its energy autonomy where the numerical results detail the impact of scenario, spreading factor, and bandwidth on power consumption.
Switching transient‐based state of Ampere‐hour prediction of lithium‐ion, nickel‐cadmium, nickel‐metal‐hydride and lead acid batteries used in vehicles

The state of the ampere ‐ hour capacity of the battery depends on the condition of materials used in it. Large reduction of capacity ends with maintenance or replacement of the battery. Modern battery materials include application of nanomaterials and nanotechnology in various stages of production. This article attempts to monitor the capacity of battery used for vehicles which are made of different types of materials using switching transients. The analytical part was done using wavelet ‐ based decompositions. Data sets of large number of coefficients have been developed for learning. Their statistical behaviour has been studied, and monitoring was initially carried out by some selective parameters. Then the artificial neural network ‐ based algorithm was developed which includes all features of statistical variation for better monitoring. Case studies have been carried out followed by comparison. The study ends with a satisfactory monitoring.
