The impact of changes in the physiological system at age is a disturbance and a decrease in sleep quality. A reduction in sleep quality can affect the life expectancy of the elderly. In Indonesia, almost half of the total elderly (50%) have problems with sleep quality and experience serious sleep problems reaching 17%. The island of Java, especially the East Java region, reported about 45% of the elderly experience sleep quality problems. The quality of sleep that does not get proper treatment can affect physical and psychological performance so that the rate of older adults decreases. One of the exercises that can be given is progressive muscle relaxation. Increasing the degree of health in the elderly can be done by progressive muscle relaxation, which aims to increase muscle relaxation so that the elderly are calmer to prepare for physical conditions and body physiology at night when going to sleep. The purpose of community service is to provide education on progressive muscle relaxation exercises to prevent and reduce poor sleep quality in the elderly at the Elderly Posyandu.

Published: May 2022

This biogas technology program aims to reduce environmental pollution due to the smell of livestock manure and, at the same time, reduce the household economic costs of the farmer group community to buy LPG. The service method is by providing education to farmer groups about the cultivation of beef and dairy cattle, manure as a source of energy and fertilizer, and demonstration plots for biogas production. As the result of the dedication to making Biogas with a capacity of 12 m3, the digester starts to produce gas on the 14th day after being filled with cow dung. The economic value of cooking using Biogas is that it saves rupiah by not buying LPG gas, so on average, it holds 4-5 3 kg LPG cylinders per week or 16-20 LPG cylinders per month. The economic value saved is IDR 320,000 – 400,000 per family per month that uses this biogas fuel. Farmer groups use biogas waste as fertilizer for vegetables and corn. Three main benefits are felt, Biogas as a substitute for LPG, which the community has used. The by-product of Biogas has been used as organic fertilizer. From a social perspective, this program has also educated the public that livestock manure, which the community has considered waste, can provide economic and environmental benefits. The by-product of biogas technology which is processed into solid organic fertilizer, can increase soil nutrients, save costs on purchasing fertilizer, and increase people's income.

Reinterpretasi Teori Language Game dalam Bahasa Dakwah Perspektif Ludwig Wittgenstein
Authors: Wasilatul Firdausiyah Umi , Fikri Khairul
Published: May 2022

The discourse of this study focuses on the language game theory by Ludwig Wittgenstein which is applied in the da’wah language. The purpose of the study is to determine the significance of the language game theory applied to the da’wah language. The research method used is library research, with data analytics in the form of descriptive-interpretative, and is assisted by Hans George Gadamer’s effective hermeneutic theory in studying language game theory and Wittgenstein’s idea. The results of this study are sufficient to answer the significance of the language game theory applied to the da’wah language, with two points. First, language game theory can be applied in da’wah language. Second, the use of language game theory can attract the interest of da’wah listeners. These two points have implications for the actions or behavior of the da’wah listeners, which is called compulsive and impulsive behavior. cThus it can be understood that language and da’wah are an inseparable bond

Kinetic Model Development of the Oligomerization of High Olefin Containing Hydrocarbon By-products to Clean Engine Fuels on Amberlyst Catalyst
Authors: Bárkányi Ágnes , Varga Tamás , Hancsók Jenő
Published: May 2022

Nowadays, since the demand for engine fuels is continuously changing, in petroleum refineries, increasing the flexibility of gasoline/middle distillate is still an important issue, e.g. by oligomerizing light olefins (3–6 carbon atoms). The aim of our work was to develop a valid kinetic model based on the extended Eley-Rideal mechanism to describe the oligomerization of the olefin content of light naphtha by fluidized catalytic cracking (FCC) on an ion-exchange resin. Experiments were carried out in a fixed-bed tubular reactor at temperatures of between 80 and 130 °C with liquid hourly space velocities (LHSV) of between 0.5 and 2.0 1/h using Amberlyst® 15 as a catalyst. The oligomerization process was characterized based on the composition of products determined by gas chromatography. The conversion of olefins and the selectivity of the oligomerization reactions forming C8-11 and C12+ hydrocarbons (C8-11 and C12+ selectivity; unit: relative %) were dependent on factors that determine the reactor performance in order to identify the kinetic model parameters. Given that the developed reactor model described the measured data reasonably accurately, it can be used in terms of the optimal design of an industrial oligomerization reactor.

Interplay between hypertriglyceridemia and acute promyelocytic leukemia mediated by the cooperation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α with the PML/RAR α fusion protein on super-enhancers
Authors: Wu Shishuang , Li Shufen , Jin Peng , Zhang Yi , Chen Li , Jin Wen , Li Junmin , Wang Kankan
Published: May 2022

Patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are often obese or overweight, accompanied by metabolic disorders, such as dyslipidemia. However, the link between dyslipidemia and leukemia is obscure. Here, we conducted a retrospective study containing 1,412 cases (319 newly diagnosed APL patients, 393 newly diagnosed non-APL acute myeloid leukemia patients, and 700 non-tumor controls) and found that APL patients had higher triglyceride levels than non- APL and control groups. Using clinical data, we revealed that hypertriglyceridemia served as a risk factor for early death in APL patients, and there was a positive correlation between triglyceride levels and leukocyte counts. RNA sequencing analysis of APL patients having high or normal triglyceride levels highlighted the contribution of peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor-α (PPARα), a crucial regulator of cell metabolism and a transcription factor involved in cancer development. The genome-wide chromatin occupancy of PPARα revealed that PPARα co-existed with PML/RARα within the super-enhancer regions to promote cell proliferation. PPARα knockdown affected the expression of target genes responsible for APL proliferation, including FLT3, and functionally inhibited the proliferation of APL cells. Moreover, in vivo results in mice having high fat diet-induced high triglyceride levels supported the connection between high triglyceride levels and the leukemic burden, as well as the involvement of PPARα-mediated-FLT3 activation in the proliferation of APL cells. Our findings shed light on the association between APL proliferation and high triglyceride levels and provide a genetic link to PPARα-mediated hyperlipidemia in APL.

Authors: Meysyaranta Syalistya , Effendy Mohammad , Wardhono Endarto Yudo
Published: May 2022

The most popular fruit is bananas. The problem bananas face declining quality or preservation of fruit before reaching the consumers. The decline in the quality of post-harvest bananas is generally caused by shrinkage of fruit mass and ripening caused by respiration and the presence of ethylene gas. One of the ways to prevent the decrease in the quality of bananas is by coating the fruit with Chitosan-based edible film. This study aims to determine the effect of adding ethylene absorber (KMnO4) to the coating Chitosan base and the composition of the coating film with the best performance in extending the shelf life of bananas. Edible film Nano Chitosan was synthesized from Sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and the addition of Cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) as a stabilizer agent to form a nano-composite to improve the mechanical properties of the edible coating. The method used is to provide a coating of Chitosan, and nano Chitosan with the addition of CNC and KMnO4 applied on bananas. The analysis results showed that the composition of Chitosan-CNC-KMnO4 gave the optimum performance in decline shrinkage of bananas mass with a weight loss value of 4.87% in 5th days had the lowest sugar content value on the 5th day, which was 16%.ABSTRAKBuah yang paling digemari masyarakat salah satunya adalah Pisang.

Published: May 2022

In building construction, prestressed concrete is used for large spans and to increase capacity. One of them is the 16 meters long Lakes Surabaya Mall project. An important parameter is the effectiveness of the design, especially determining the parameters of the cross-sectional property. In this study, the redesign technique was used to assess the current condition in the hope that it could be modeled more effectively using cross-sectional dimensions. The design was evaluated theoretically using the concept of direct and indirect prestressing, then numerically verified using SAP2000. Prestressed beam with low relaxation PC60×12cm A416 grade 250 in the existing condition is modified using a lower dimension of 50×10cm A416 but has a grade value of 270, which is more extensive. The same data were used for criteria such as 35 MPa concrete quality, 100% load distribution factor, and 75% tendon stress percentage. The inspection results show that the transfer and service conditions are 10% smaller than the existing cross-section. A combined direct and indirect prestress loss of 19% still meets the design code.ABSTRAKDalam bidang konstruksi bangunan, beton prategang digunakan untuk bentang besar dan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas.

The Picture of Dorian Gray; The Return of the Real
Authors: Cârstea Daniela
Published: May 2022

I feel that my analysis, which endeavours to articulate the operational Lacanian concepts onto Wilde’s fiction, will achieve a “liberating” of the meaning from the text, an enterprise which can be equated with a transvaluation of the textual psychical values. One of the points I argue in what follows is that the readers of The Picture of Dorian Gray are encouraged by Wilde to transcend the limited perspective of the fictional selves (characters) in the story. To use Lacanian terms, consciousness equals a fictional construct that performs a masquerade of truth because it is attached to signifiers that reside beyond the subject in the Other (and in the unrepresented sphere of the Real). Approaching the text from a Lacanian perspective will make the reader aware of how one constructs an ideal image of one’s ‘self’ and seduces others into recognizing it. The results that such an enterprise yields point to the fact that there is an eccentric relationship between what a person (Dorian Gray, in our case) is and what one desires, a lack-in-being that haunts the human subject. Even if the portrait fills his lack-in-being, by bestowing upon him everlasting beauty, there remains a gap within itself likewise. It lacks life. To conclude, the portrait becomes more Dorian-like in proportion as Dorian himself gets alienated from his self, so that eventually it becomes the real Dorian. When the latter fully realizes that, he tries to reconquer his life, even if the price is his death.

Diabetic nephropathy, included in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is the primary disease leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or dialysis treatment, accounting for more than 40% of all patients with ESRD or receiving dialysis. Developing new therapeutics to prevent the transition to ESRD or dialysis treatment requires an understanding of the pathophysiology of DKD and an appropriate animal model for drug efficacy studies. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes in uninephrectomized db/db mice. In addition, the nephrectomized db/db mice from 10 weeks to 42 weeks were used to assess the efficacy of long-term administration of the angiotensin-II–receptor antagonist losartan. The blood and urinary biochemical parameters and the blood pressure which is a main pharmacological endpoint of the losartan therapy, were periodically measured. And at the end, histopathological analysis was performed. Uninephrectomized db/db mice clearly developed obesity and hyperglycemia from young age. Furthermore, they showed renal pathophysiological changes, such as increased urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) (the peak value 3104±986 in 40-week-old mice), glomerular hypertrophy and increased fibrotic areas in the tubulointerstitial tubules. The blood pressure in the losartan group was significantly low compared to the normotensive Vehicle group. However, as expected, Losartan suppressed the increase in UACR (829±500) indicating the medication was sufficient, but the histopathological abnormalities including tubular interstitial fibrosis did not improve. These results suggest that the uninephrectomized db/db mice are useful as an animal model of the severe DKD indicated by the comparison of the efficacy of losartan in this model with the efficacy of losartan in clinical practice.
Hacia una teoría de lo grotesco en la narrativa indigenista hispanoamericana
Authors: Lopez-Saravia Fernando J.
Published: May 2022

El presente artículo de investigación científica busca comprobar si los recursos de la estética grotesca enriquecen el análisis de la narrativa indigenista con el objetivo de que estas obras ya no solo sean valoradas como vehículos de denuncia, como usualmente son catalogadas, sino también como productos artísticos. A partir de un análisis de diferentes teóricos de lo grotesco, esta investigación propuso categorías de análisis, tales como las intrusiones narrativas, la animalización, la mezcla de lo heterogéneo, el trastocamiento de la realidad, las caricaturas, las alegorías y la función utópica. El método empleado fue el uso de la narratología, la retórica y la hermenéutica, procedimientos por medio de los cuales se buscó demostrar la hipótesis, tomando como muestra, fragmentos de las novelas Huasipungo de Jorge Icaza y El tungsteno de César Vallejo. El principal resultado que se obtuvo demuestra que, en su esencia, la estética grotesca se relaciona estrechamente con la cultura latinoamericana. Por ende, se llegó a la conclusión de que un análisis de la estética grotesca resulta siendo no solo pertinente, sino provechoso para la narrativa indigenista, ya que no solo abre líneas de investigación poco desarrolladas, sino que permite determinar de modo preciso el propósito de los autores.

Relationship between Depression and Antihypertensive Medication Adherence in the Elderly
Authors: DEMİR BARUTCU Canan
Published: May 2022

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the presence of depression in elderly patients with hypertension and to evaluate its relationship with treatment adherence.

Material and Methods: The sample of this descriptive and correlational study consisted of 334 patients with aged 65 and over which using antihypertensive drugs. Data were collected using the hypertension compliance assessment scale and the geriatric depression scale.

Results: 58.4% of the patients participating in the study were evaluated as incompatible according to the score they got from the hypertension compliance assessment scale. The mean score that the patients got from the compliance scale was found as 7.29 ± 2.65. 39.5% of the patients included in the study were found to be mildly depressed compared to the average score they got from the depression scale. The mean score obtained from the depression scale was found to be 6.70 ± 3.44. As the age of the patients participating in the study increased, it was found that the score which they got from the hypertension compliance assessment scale increased, and there was a weakly positive significant relationship between them (r = 0.113, p = 0.038).

Conclusion: As a result, there is a relationship between treatment compliance and depression levels in the elderly. As the age of elderly patients increases, their level of compliance with treatment decreases and their depressive symptoms increase. Therefore, healthcare professionals should routinely evaluate the symptoms of depression in the elderly with chronic diseases such as hypertension.
Harry Potter and the Medium of TikTok: Shifting and POV Videos During Quarantine
Authors: McGorry Meghan
Published: May 2022

In this study, a new media phenomena that has developed on TikTok throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine period will be explored. This phenomenon is where fans actively insert themselves into movies or TV shows by using editing softwares and post them via TikTok. This emergent category of POV (Point of View) TikTok edits in relation to fandom can give us great insight into the presentation of self online, as well as fanfiction itself. In these videos, creators often insert themselves into these metafictional spaces as original character versions of themselves, which simultaneously invites us to join them in that reality, yet excludes us due to the specificity of each individual “storyline.” TikTok has been created in such a way that invites these sorts of “mashups” and “crossover” edits to happen on the platform. Due to the algorithm driven mechanism that runs the app, one’s For You Page (FYP) is filled with content TikTok “thinks” you will like or interact with. This has combined each medium of the app (popular audio and visual), to run in parallel with one another in relation to these POV videos. This study will explore the Harry Potter fandom specifically on TikTok, and how fans create desired worlds on the app through their POV videos. The study’s hypothesis is that the videos represent a novel blend of self-performance and fan-fiction, facilitated by an app organized around multi-media mashups and siloed subcultures. Based on an analysis of such TikTok videos, the hypothesis proposes that the blend of self-performance and fan fiction represents an “imaginary idealization.” This relates directly to the idea of the performance or appearance of one’s own self in online spaces. These TikTok creators project a desired reality onto their characters—an idealized self as imagined in a fictional world. The blend of self-performance and fan fiction aligns with the idea of “shifting,”which has become explosively popular on post-pandemic TikTok. Shifting supposedly entails transporting one’s subconscious to a “desired reality” or state, typically in a fictional world. This study will focus on the intersection of shifting and POV videos via TikTok, and how imagining fictional worlds through media was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Intronic gRNAs for the Construction of Minimal Gene Drive Systems

Published: May 2022

Gene drives are promising tools for the genetic control of insect vector or pest populations. CRISPR-based gene drives are generally highly complex synthetic constructs consisting of multiple transgenes and their respective regulatory elements. This complicates the generation of new gene drives and the testing of the behavior of their constituent functional modules. Here, we explored the minimal genetic components needed to constitute autonomous gene drives in Drosophila melanogaster. We first designed intronic gRNAs that can be located directly within coding transgene sequences and tested their functions in cell lines. We then integrated a Cas9 open reading frame hosting such an intronic gRNA within the Drosophila rcd-1r locus that drives the expression in the male and female germlines. We showed that upon removal of the fluorescent transformation marker, the rcd-1rd allele supports efficient gene drive. We assessed the propensity of this driver, designed to be neutral with regards to fitness and host gene function, to propagate in caged fly populations. Because of their simplicity, such integral gene drives could enable the modularization of drive and effector functions. We also discussed the possible biosafety implications of minimal and possibly recoded gene drives.

Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate] [P(3HB-co-3HHx)] is a practical kind of bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). A previous study has established an artificial pathway for the biosynthesis of P(3HB-co-3HHx) from structurally unrelated sugars in Ralstonia eutropha, in which crotonyl-CoA carboxylase/reductase (Ccr) and ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase (Emd) are a key combination for generation of butyryl-CoA and the following chain elongation. This study focused on the installation of the artificial pathway into Escherichia coli. The recombinant strain of E. coli JM109 harboring 11 heterologous genes including Ccr and Emd produced P(3HB-co-3HHx) composed of 14 mol% 3HHx with 41 wt% of dry cellular weight from glucose. Further investigations revealed that the C6 monomer (R)-3HHx-CoA was not supplied by (R)-specific reduction of 3-oxohexanoyl-CoA but by (R)-specific hydration of 2-hexenoyl-CoA formed through reverse β-oxidation after the elongation from C4 to C6. While contribution of the reverse β-oxidation to the conversion of the C4 intermediates was very limited, crotonyl-CoA, a precursor of butyryl-CoA, was generated by dehydration of (R)-3HB-CoA. Several modifications previously reported for enhancement of bioproduction in E. coli were examined for the copolyester synthesis. Elimination of the global regulator Cra or PdhR as well as the block of acetate formation resulted in poor PHA synthesis. The strain lacking RNase G accumulated more PHA but with almost no 3HHx unit. Introduction of the phosphite oxidation system for regeneration of NADPH led to copolyester synthesis with the higher cellular content and higher 3HHx composition by two-stage cultivation with phosphite than those in the absence of phosphite.
