PRACTICING VALUES OF PHILOSOPHICAL SUFISM IN THE PENCAK SILAT OF BROTHERHOOD FAITHFUL HEART OF TERATE
Authors: Muhammad Sutoyo
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Pencak silat has been a part of Indonesia's cultural heritage imparting lessons in Islamic morality, in addition to self-defense, cultural arts, sports, and mental and spiritual training. Members are trained in these skills along with Islamic religious lessons and the Sufi philosophy. Previous studies have however shown a grey side of pencak silat, which involved violence with other groups, and not the Sufi and the spiritual teachings. The current study, therefore, aimed to examine the Sufism in PSHT’s pencak silat and how its members practiced the teaching of Sufism and Islamic philosophy. Qualitative ethnographic research approach was used, with observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation as data collection instruments. Finds show that Sufism in PSHT means mastering a control over heart or mind, showing good behavior, de-radicalizing religion, and learn the meaning of life to develop spiritual intelligence. It was also evident in the study that Sufism can strengthen Muslim members' faith and aqidah as it also teaches religious tolerance towards non-Muslims. It strengthens inner relationships, builds noble character, preserves nature and peace, and increases ma'rifah knowledge by drawing closer to God. This research recommends that the government should support mental spiritual, cultural arts, martial arts, and sports in all pencak silat organizations in Indonesia and preserve the cultural heritage to benefit the nation, state, and society

Published: June 2023

Los cuerpos de agua continentales suelen ser receptores de efluentes de origen antrópico, que ocasionan perturbaciones ambientales que pueden manifestarse con cambios en la composición de las comunidades biológicas. Los moluscos pueden ser considerados excelentes indicadores de la salud de los ecosistemas acuáticos, debido a la sensibilidad que presentan ante las alteraciones en el ambiente. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar el efecto del vertido de efluentes urbanos sobre el ensamble de moluscos en el río Chico (Santa Cruz, Argentina), a través de estudios de campo y de bioensayos en laboratorio. Se realizaron cuatro campañas de muestreo entre marzo de 2017 y marzo de 2019, en épocas con diferente caudal del río. Se establecieron seis estaciones de muestreo: dos estaciones control aguas arriba de la localidad de Gobernador Gregores y cuatro aguas abajo a distancias crecientes del centro urbano. En cada estación se midieron variables fisicoquímicas y se recolectaron cuatro muestras bentónicas utilizando una red manual tipo Surber con malla de 500 μm. Las variables ambientales y los datos de abundancia de los moluscos fueron analizados con métodos estadísticos multivariados. Además, se realizó un ensayo de toxicidad directa bajo condiciones controladas en laboratorio para evaluar el efecto sobre el crecimiento y la supervivencia de Pectinidens diaphanus (Lymnaeidae). Las respuestas de las especies de moluscos, en términos de distribución y abundancia, mostraron una fuerte relación con las diferentes condiciones ambientales en las estaciones de muestreo, diferenciándose de acuerdo con su grado de sensibilidad o tolerancia. Los cambios espaciales observados en la composición del ensamble de moluscos son una respuesta a la sumatoria de fuentes puntuales y difusas que aportan contaminantes al río. El bioensayo permitió evaluar aisladamente el efecto puntual del efluente cloacal de la localidad y demostrar su impacto negativo sobre la supervivencia  de la especie bajo estudio.

Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini memiliki tujuan untuk memberikan penyuluhan dan sosialisasi kepada masyarakat yang tergabung dalam masjid dalam kegiataan keagamaan. Sebagaimana tujuan dari didirikannya masjid bukan hanya untuk tempat beribadah melainkan juga untuk menimba ilmu dalam kehidupan dunia dan akhirat. Jumlah jamaah pengajian Masjid Al-Huda sebanyak 50 orang. Keikutsertaan jamaah dalam penyuluhan dan sosialisasi terpantau cukup baik, hal ini terbukti pada saat pemaparan materi jamaah dengan seksama untuk menyimak dan memberikan feedback berupa pertanyaan. Harapannya, kegiatan semacam ini dapat dipertahankan. Mengingat bahwa dalam kegiatan sehari-hari umat Islam dituntut untuk berpedoman dalam kaidah syariah. Terlebih dalam mencapai sebuah kesejahteraan baik didunia maupun diakhirat. Pemenuhan kebutuhan untuk mencapai kesejahteraan merupakan tanggung jawab bersama, baik pemerintah selaku regulator maupun masyarakat selaku objek dan aktor. Kontribusi ekonomi Islam terhadap peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat wajib menjadi semangat dalam menerapkan ekonomi syariah. Akan tetapi, realita di lapangan masih sangat jauh dari harapan. Dominasi ekonomi konvensional yang sudah melekat dalam kegiatan sistem perekonomian. Kesejahteraan masyarakat sangat erat kaitanya dengan prinsip keadilan. Apabila prinsip keadilan mampu diterapkan dalam ekonomi Islam, maka akan menjadi solusi yang tepat guna mengurangi kemiskinan di masyarakat dan menciptakan sebuah kesejahteraan bagi masyarakat berdasarkan prinsip tolong menolong (tabarru’)

Open visitation in the NICU: nurses’ perspectives on barriers and facilitators†
Authors: Ghorbani Fatemeh
Published: June 2023

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the nurses’ perspectives on open family visitation and its barriers and facilitators in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Methods

This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A total of 113 nurses employed in 3 main NICUs of Tabriz participated in the study through the census sampling method. Nurses’ perspectives on open visitation and its facilitators and barriers were assessed and analyzed using the Beliefs and Attitudes toward Visitation in NICU Questionnaire (BAVNIQ) and descriptive and analytical statistics, respectively.

Results

Approximately 74% of the nurses who participating in the study had a moderate perspective on open visitation. From the nurses’ viewpoint, “Parents’ low awareness of sensitivity and hygienic principles of the NICU” was the first (90.3%) barrier, and the 2 factors, namely, “physical structure of the ward/lack of sufficient space” and “far distance between family’s residence and the hospital/having another child,” were the second (86.8%) barrier with an equal percentage. Among the facilitating factors, “Supporting employed parents during the neonate’s hospitalization” and “providing facilities for family accommodation in the hospital” were the first (82.3%) and the second (79.6%) facilitators, respectively, for open visitation.

Conclusions

The majority of NICU nurses had a moderate perspective on the family open visitation. This reluctance seems to be originated mainly from the factors inhibiting open visitation, making its implementation challenging for nurses. The perspective of the frontline staff in caring for vulnerable infants on facilitators and barriers to open visitation may help policymakers, managers, and relevant officials in decision-making and implementing new visiting policies in the NICUs.

Authors: Langenbach Marcel Christian , Vogl Thomas Joseph , Buchinger Amelie , Eichler Katrin , Scholtz Jan-Erik , Hammerstingl Renate , Gruber-Rouh Tatjana
Published: June 2023

Background

While computed tomography (CT)-guided liver biopsies are commonly performed using unenhanced images, contrast-enhanced images are beneficial for challenging puncture pathways and lesion locations. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of CT-guided biopsies for intrahepatic lesions using unenhanced, intravenous (IV)-enhanced, or intra-arterial Lipiodol-marked CT for lesion marking.

Patients and methods

Six-hundred-seven patients (men: 358 [59.0%], mean age 61 years; SD ±12.04) with suspect hepatic lesions and CT-guided liver biopsies were retrospectively evaluated. Successful biopsies were histopathological findings other than typical liver tissue or non-specific findings. Data was ascertained regarding the use of contrast medium for the biopsy-planning CT, unenhanced (group 1) vs. Lipiodol (group 2) vs. IV contrast (group 3). Technical success and influencing factors were insulated. Complications were noted. The results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon-Man-Whitney t-test, Chi-square test, and Spearman-Rho.

Results

Overall lesion hitting rate was 73.1%, with significantly better rates using Lipiodol-marked lesions (79.3%) compared to group 1 (73.8%) and group 3 (65.2%) (p = 0.037). Smaller lesions (<20 mm diameter) benefited significantly from Lipiodol-marking with 71.2% successful biopsy rate compared to group 1 (65.5%) and group 3 (47.7%) (p = 0.021). Liver cirrhosis (p = 0.94) and entity of parenchymal lesions (p = 0.78) had no impact on the hitting rate between the groups. No major complications occurred during the interventions.

Conclusions

Pre-biopsy Lipiodol marking of suspect hepatic lesions significantly increases the lesion-hitting rate and is especially beneficial for biopsy of smaller targets below 20 mm diameter. Further, Lipiodol marking is superior to IV contrast for non-visible lesions in unenhanced CT. Target lesion entity has no impact on the hitting rate.

Published: June 2023

Background

The aim of the study was to evaluate the independent prognostic role of PIK3CA activating mutations and an association between PIK3CA activating mutations and efficacy of adjuvant endocrine therapy (ET) in patients with operable invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC).

Patients and methods

A single institution study of patients with early-stage ILC treated between 2003 and 2008 was performed. Clinicopathological parameters, systemic therapy exposure and outcomes (distant metastasis-free survival [DMFS] and overall survival [OS]) were collected based on presence or absence of PIK3CA activating mutation in the primary tumor determined using a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based assay. An association between PIK3CA mutation status and prognosis in all patient cohort was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, whereas an association between PIK3CA mutation and ET was analyzed in estrogen receptors (ER) and/or progesterone receptors (PR)-positive group of our patients by the Cox proportional hazards model.

Results

Median age at diagnosis of all patients was 62.8 years and median follow-up time was 10.8 years. Among 365 patients, PIK3CA activating mutations were identified in 45%. PIK3CA activating mutations were not associated with differential DMFS and OS (p = 0.36 and p = 0.42, respectively). In patients with PIK3CA mutation each year of tamoxifen (TAM) or aromatase inhibitor (AI) decreased the risk of death by 27% and 21% in comparison to no ET, respectively. The type and duration of ET did not have significant impact on DMFS, however longer duration of ET had a favourable impact on OS.

Conclusions

PIK3CA activating mutations are not associated with an impact on DMFS and OS in early-stage ILC. Patients with PIK3CA mutation had a statistically significantly decreased risk of death irrespective of whether they received TAM or an AI.

Published: June 2023

Background

Biomedical applications of electroporation are expanding out of the field of oncology into vaccination, treatment of arrhythmias and now in the treatment of vascular malformations. Bleomycin is a widely used sclerosing agent in the treatment of various vascular malformations. The application of electric pulses in addition to bleomycin enhances the effectiveness of the drug, as demonstrated by electrochemotherapy, which utilizes bleomycin in the treatment of tumors. The same principle is used in bleomycin electrosclerotherapy (BEST). The approach seems to be effective in the treatment of low-flow (venous and lymphatic) and, potentially, even high-flow (arteriovenous) malformations. Although there are only a few published reports to date, the surgical community is interested, and an increasing number of centers are applying BEST in the treatment of vascular malformations. Within the International Network for Sharing Practices on Electrochemotherapy (InspECT) consortium, a dedicated working group has been constituted to develop standard operating procedures for BEST and foster clinical trials.

Conclusions

By treatment standardization and successful completion of clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of the approach, higher quality data and better clinical outcomes may be achieved.
The Concept of Security in Turkish History and Culture
Authors: Davydov S. A.
Published: June 2023

An analysis of the evolution of academic approaches to security issues in Turkish politics will help shed light on the development of Turkish political thought and the main theories and ideas that served as a catalyst for this process. This study is especially relevant in the modern context when the Turkish political establishment is regarded as more private and the underlying foreign policy documents are primarily classified. In addition, this study is able to give a new evaluation of a number of problems related to changes in the foreign policy of the Republic of Türkiye and provide a more relevant understanding of the logic behind Ankara's actions. The subject of this paper is the philosophical and theoretical justification of the Turkish state's political approach to security issues. The main methodological tools in this regard seem historical-chronological and historicalgenetic methods — their use will allow to consider and highlight the causal factors in the evolution of Turkey's approaches to ensuring its own security. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the issues of the evolution of the security concept in the Turkish political discourse have been little addressed in Russian Turkology and mainly do not go beyond the foreign policy of the ruling Justice and Development Party. The present paper aims at a comprehensive study of security issues in the perspective of Turkish history from the early days of the Beylik of Osman to the modern Republic of Türkiye. The conducted research shows that Turkish political thought has gradually changed according to Türkiye's foreign policy agenda and the goals that the ruling circles of the Turkish state set for themselves throughout its history.
OMTANKE SOM UTGÅNGSPUNKT VID AKDEMISK HANDLEDNING
Authors: Mangold Mikael
Published: June 2023

Det är under all kritik att så många doktorander mår dåligt och inte färdigställer sina avhandlingar. Vi mer seniora akademiker har ett medmänskligt ansvar att etablera strukturer som tar hand om våra kollegor. Omtanke om våra doktoranders utveckling behövs då vi designar strukturer för doktorerande så väl som handledande. I denna artikel argumenterar jag för att omtanken om doktorandens utveckling bör vara en utgångspunkt i handledningsarbetet. Med hjälp av omtanke blir det enklare att: hitta rätt nivå för krav och mål, erkänna brister i handledarskapet, prata problem i satta maktrelationer, hantera utmaningar från den våldsamma akademin, med mera. Att bry sig om doktorandens utveckling innebär många olika saker under resans gång. Även om det i artikeln konkretiseras vad omtanke om doktorandens utveckling kan innebära, så är poängen snarare att det blir enklare att inse vad god handledning är, ifall omtanken om doktorandens väl är en utgångpunkt i handledningsarbetet.
COMPLEXITIES OF A HYPOTHETICAL CO-SUPERVISION CASE
Authors: Reitsma Lizette
Published: June 2023

This essay reflects on possible complexities that embarking on co-supervising a doctoral candidate might entail. The hypothetical co-supervision case under consideration is one between different disciplines, organisations and countries, and it focuses on how differences in understanding the role of a PhD candidate might surface. Furthermore, the importance of reflecting on the nature of the project, whether it is an open brief or a specified project, is highlighted. This also necessitates consideration of the extent to which the supervisors connect ownership to the project idea, outcome, and process. Lastly, the importance of the role of the supervisor in supporting the PhD candidate towards becoming an independent researcher is raised. As a conclusion, attention is drawn to the need for potential co-supervisors to articulate and discuss their stances and expectations on the above questions prior to embarking on co-supervision; this is in order to prevent or lessen possible tensions at a later stage.
PANDEMIC, DOCTORAL STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION AND THE ROLE OF SUPERVISION
Authors: Dabaieh Marwa , Sarkheyli Elnaz
Published: June 2023

The Ph.D. research and supervision process passes through different momentums of ups and downs, demotivation, and stress. Unexpected situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and its considerable influence on daily life and their working situation and research process, put new pressures on Ph.D. students. This study aims to investigate the COVID-19 pandemic on doctoral motivation, the supervisions' strategies, and the importance of supervisors in helping students tackle demotivation and stress situations. In this study, we conducted an online survey, including open-ended and Likert scale questions, distributed among the doctoral students and interviews with supervisors at Malmö University. According to the survey result, the pandemic has affected the doctoral students' research methodological process, communication frequency and efficiency with their supervisors, access to the office and laboratory, and motivation to write and finish their doctoral thesis. Stress, new life and family priorities, the uncertainty of fieldwork and research methods, isolation, skepticism about the importance of their research, and less connection with supervisors and peers have been mentioned as their reasons for demotivation. In addition, the survey results showed that most respondents emphasized the importance of the supervisors' role in their motivation. The message from this study is that the clarity of feedback, setting realistic goals, time management, mutual understanding, caring and support, flexibility and availability, regular and informal meetings, and positive attitudes are essential factors in doctoral supervision under stressful situations. The findings pinpoint the most efficient supervision strategies during challenging situations like the pandemic, which can be lessons for future similar events. However, the results also addressed the students' different needs and the importance of awareness and attention to the students' differences under supervision and mentoring.

The Effects of Biochar on Exchangeable Metal Concentration in Paddy Soils
Authors: Thanh Binh Nguyen , Nghiem Ha Tran Quang
Published: June 2023

The presence of metals in soil may impact the environment, as well as agricultural products. Biochar can alter some physical and chemical properties of the soil, reducing the concentrations of exchangeable metals in the soil. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of biochar on the exchangeable metal concentration in two paddy soils that have different organic carbon (OC) contents. A pot experiment was conducted in a greenhouse using two soils with high (3.05%) and low (0.54%) OC content mixed with biochar at rates of 0, 1.5, 3, 6, and 12%, and planted with rice in two consecutive seasons. At the end of each season, 30 soil samples (2 soil types x 5 biochar rates x 3 replicates) were collected to determine the exchangeable concentration of Al, Fe, Mn, Cd, Ni, Pb, and Zn, as well as pH. The metal quality index was calculated using principal component/factor analysis. The results showed that biochar increased the pH value after the first rice crop but did not improve after the second rice season. Biochar reduced the exchangeable concentration of some metals, including Al, Fe, Ni, Cd, Pb, and Zn. Compared to the no-biochar treatment, biochar application increased the soil metal quality index from 4.1 to 12.8% after the first crop and from 9.6 to 188.7% after the second rice crop, depending on soil properties and used biochar rate. This effect could be related to the increased pH in biochar-added soil and biochar's adsorption capacity. In conclusion, biochar has promising prospects for reducing exchangeable metal content in arable soils, thus exhibiting the potential to be used in paddy fields to remediate metal-contaminated soils.
Geometries, Electronic Structures, and Energetic Parameters of the first-row transition metal doped aluminum clusters Al16M
Authors: Trung Kien Hoang , Tuan Cuong Ngo , Minh Tam Nguyen
Published: June 2023

A theoretical study of geometry, stability, electronic structure, and magnetic property of neutral Al16M clusters with M being a first-row 3d transition metal atom, including Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, are investigated in this theoretical study using quantum chemical approaches. The neutral Al16M clusters favor three kind of structures based on pure Al17 framework, including two exohedral doped isomers and one endohedral doped structure. There is a competition between the endoheral and the exohedral structures of Al16M with M being Ni, Cu, and Zn. The thermodynamic stability of encapsulated structure Al16Ni is confirm by the calculated average binding energy and embedded energy values. DFT calculation, however, indicate that the transition metal doping reduces the ionization potential of the pure aluminum clusters. Based on NBO calculations, a comprehensive picture of magnetic behavior is shown for Al16M clusters. Remarkably, the magnetism of the encapsualated Ni dopant is quenched in Al16 cage. Moreover, NBO calculations found that the 50-electron shells are completely preserved in both clusters Al16Sc and Al­16Ti and the remaining unpaired electron(s) localize(s) mainly on 3d atomic orbitals of the transition metal dopant.

Authors: Van Dung Nguyen , Thi Tuyet Nhung Nguyen , Vinh Truong Le
Published: June 2023

The blend of waste cooking oil and rapeseed oil was studied as an alternative to mineral oil in transformers. Waste cooking oil after filtering, neutralizing and drying was mixed with refined rapeseed oil. The ratio between waste cooking oil and rapeseed oil was determined based on the pour point. Physico-chemical parameters of the oil mixtures were measured according to the ASTM D6871, and the oil mixture was examined in both new and aged conditions. For ageing, the oil mixture was heated at 120 oC for 164 h with an air flow of 5.5 L/h. In addition, the influence of antioxidants on the breakdown voltage and ageing of the oil mixture was also studied. Experimental results showed that the mixture consisting of 15 vol.% of waste cooking oil and 85 vol.% of rapeseed oil met the standards of ASTM D6871. Tert-butylhydroquinone and propyl gallate significantly increased the oxidation stability index, breakdown voltage and ageing resistance of the the oil mixture.
Preliminary Study on Alternative Reflectors for LOTUS Reactor
Authors: Hong Bui Thi , Mai Vu Thanh , Hartanto Donny
Published: June 2023

LOTUS reactor - a compact lead-cooled fast reactor is currently being studied to generate 200 MWth of capacity and operate for 20 years without refueling for the floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) application. Therefore, it would be a big advantage to achieve a long operation without refueling. However, a small reactor usually has a higher neutron leakage, and a good neutron reflector is essential to maintain the neutron economy. The main objective is selecting potential reflectors materials for the LOTUS reactor using Monte Carlo code, Serpent. The various candidate reflector materials, including Al2O3, BeO, MgO, PbO, SiO2, and ZrO2 are calculated from the neutronics characteristics to determine a good neutron reflector. In this work, we have investigated the parameters of neutronics characteristics, such as core neutron flux spectrum, evolution of keff due to burn-up, power distribution, and lead coolant void reactivity with each reflector. From the comparison of those parameters, MgO material was found to be a good candidate for the relector of LOTUS reactor.

The crystallization process was studied by using a differential thermal analyzer (DSC). The DSC analysis show that there are two exothermic peaks corresponding to two crystalline phases appeared in the alloy ribbons. By changing the heating rate (i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 oC/min) and by using the Kissinger method,  The activation energy of crystallization of the crystalline phases determined for one phase was found to be E1 = 350 kJ/mol and for other one, E2 = 375 kJ/mol. Based on these results, we have chosen the appropriate annealing mode for the alloy ribbons. After annealing, the alloy ribbons were achieved nanocrystalline states of FeNi and α-Fe nano-particles with the grain size ranging from 5 to 15 nm and the fraction of crystallization between the crystalline and amorphous phases of 46, 67, 85 and 96 % respectively for the annealing regimes at 500 oC for 20, 30, 50 and 60 minutes.

Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson is an edible vegetable, cultivated in Vietnam. This plant was reported to contain a diverse chemical composition including megastimans, flavonoids, iridoids, and phenylpropanoid glycosides. It also exhibited many interesting biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antihypertensive, anti-asthmatic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, tyrosinase inhibitory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic effects. However, so far, the studies on this species in Vietnam are relatively few. In this study, six compounds including lutein (1), verbascoside (2), indole-3-carboxylic acid (3), 3α,24-dihydroxy-olean-12-en-28-oic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), and pomolic acid (6) were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the aerial parts of A. gangetica. Their structures were identified based on the NMR and MS spectroscopic data and comparison with those in the literature. Four compounds (3-6) have been isolated from this plant for the first time.

Doubled haploid (DH) technology remarkably accelerates the crop breeding by obtaining homozygous lines in a single generation. The present study was targeted in generating haploid plants through androgenesis. Anthers from immature flower buds of six tomato genotypes viz., LE-1230, LE-1236, LE-1256 TLCV 2, PKM 1 and TNAU tomato hybrid CO 3 were used for induction of haploids. A preliminary study based on callus induction frequency (CIF), more than 5% was helpful in short listing flower bud size, pre-treatments and growth regulator combinations. Subsequently, anthers from two different sized flower buds (4 and 6 mm length), dissected either from fresh or pre-treated flower buds (2 and 5 days in dark at 4 °C or gamma irradiated) were inoculated in MS medium fortified with different growth regulators for callus induction. Among the genotypes, TLCV 2 had recorded the maximum CIF (38.80%) from anthers of 4 mm long flower buds followed by TNAU tomato hybrid CO 3 (34.70%). Throughout the study, anthers from 4 mm long flower buds responded the best for callus induction. Among the pre-treatments, anthers from gamma irradiated flower buds recorded the highest CIF (31.90%) when compared to others. Cold shock (4 °C) in dark to flower buds for 2 days had improved the CIF of anthers when compared to fresh in LE 1230, LE 1238, TLCV2 and TNAU tomato hybrid CO 3, but when the cold shock was increased to 5 days, invariably there was a reduction in CIF in all the six genotypes. TA 8 (MS + 2iP (0.5 mg L-1) + NAA (0.5 mg L-1)) medium was found to be the best for maximum CIF in LE 1230 and PKM1, TA1 (MS + 2iP (1.0 mg L-1) + IAA (2.0 mg L-1)) in LE 1238, LE 1256 and TNAU tomato hybrid CO 3 and TA7 (MS + 2iP (0.5 mg L-1) + Kinetin (1.5 mg L-1) + NAA (1.0 mg L-1)) for TLCV 2 genotypes. The callus induced was sub cultured at monthly intervals in the same medium for proliferation and later transferred to regeneration medium. A good number of shoots got regenerated only from anther calli of TNAU hybrid CO 3 that was sub cultured in MS medium fortified with Zeatin (0.5 mg L-1). The clumps of shoots induced were separated and inoculated in MS medium supplemented with GA3 (0.5 mg L-1) for shoot elongation. After 4-6 weeks, the elongated shoots were transferred to half strength MS medium enhanced with IBA (1 mg L-1). Profuse rooting from the base of the shoot was noticed in 4-5 weeks. The stomatal count with leaves from the diploid plants and in vitro plants observed were 3-4 and 1 respectively indicating the haploidy nature of in vitro plants.

Lost Circulation adalah sebuah kasus hilangnya sebagian atau seluruh sirkulasi lumpur pemboran masuk ke dalam formasi yang sedang dibor sehingga sirkulasi lumpur pemboran tidak sempurna. Pada kegiatan pemboran di Lapangan X ini, terdapat sumur yang diindikasi mengalami masalah yaitu Lost Circulation. Lost Circulation yang terjadi terindikasi berada pada Formasi Bekasap dengan lithologi batuan limestone. Pada sumur ini terjadi total lost, dimana penyebab Lost Circulation dikarenakan formasi yang memiliki lubang pori yang cukup besar sehingga terbentuk rongga-rongga atau terbentuk gua(cavern) dan tekanan Formasi lebih kecil daripada tekanan Hidrostatik begitu juga tekanan Formasi lebih kecil dari Tekanan Surge. Dimana setelah dilakukan perhitungan pada kedalaman 634 ft terjadi lost circulation atau hilangnya sirkulasi pada kedalaman 356 ft yang dimana sumur ini mengalami total lost. Didapatkan tekanan formasi 45 psi,tekanan hidrostatik 151.79 psi, tekanan rekah formasi 146.24 psi, EMW 7.9 psi, ECD 9.0 psi, BHCP 163.56 psi, dan Pressure surge 163.56 psi. Dapat disimpulkan lost terjadi karena Tekanan Hidrostatik lumpur yang melebihi tekanan formasi dan Tekanan Surge yang melebihi Tekanan Formasi sehingga menyebabkan formasi menjadi rekah. Kemudian dilakukan metode penanggulangan menggunakan Lost Circulation Material (LCM) CaCO3 Coarse dan Blind Drilling.

In this study, Decision Tree, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and K-Nearest Neighbor Machine Learning model are presented that use log and core data available as the basis for permeability prediction. The results were then compared to previously available method, namely Hydraulic Flow Unit (HFU) based on MAE and RMSE Value. The approach was taken by considering correlation relationships between existing log data in predicting permeability values. Three correlations, namely Spearman, Pearson, and Kendall, will be used to determine the relationship between existing log data and permeability. The machine learning model is then compared with the Hydraulic Flow Unit (HFU) Method in predicting the permeability value. The Novelty of this Machine Learning Model is to be able to predict permeability value, to solve the problem of accuracy using the existing method, and to save reasonable time to obtain permeability value by coring in the laboratory by utilizing standard computer available.

Sifat fisik lumpur pemboran sangat berpengaruh terhadap sirkulasi pemboran. Penggunaan komposisi pada lumpur pemboran selama ini banyak menggunakan polimer yang mengandung bahan kimia, maka dari itu diperlukan komposisi pada lumpur pemboran yang berasal dari bahan alami. Tujuan: Pada penelitian ini dilakukan pembuatan lumpur pemboran yang berasal dari kulit pisang ambon. Selanjutnya dilihat dampak dari setiap penambahan pada bubuk kulit pisang tersebut terhadap sifat fisik filtration loss dan mud cake pada dua titik temperatur. Metodologi dan Hasil: Penggunaan bubuk kulit pisang pada penelitian ini dikonsentrasikan pada sampel 2 gram, 4 gram, 6 gram, 8 gram dan akan ditentukan pada konsentrasi mana yang paling optimal. Kemudian diuji untuk melihat nilai perubahan pada filtration loss dan mud cake pada sampel tersebut. Pada penelitian ini menggunakan dua faktor temperatur 80oF dan 200oF, untuk melihat perubahan pada lumpur tersebut pada setiap sampel yang digunakan. Nilai dari filtration loss pada temperatur 80oF yaitu 16 ml/30 menit, 15 ml/30 menit, 14 ml/30 menit, 13,5 ml/30 menit, dan pada temperatur 200oF didapatkan nilai sebesar 6,5 ml/30 menit, 5,5 ml/30 menit, 5,3 ml/30 menit, 5,2 ml/30 menit. Pada temperatur 80oF nilai mudcake yang didapatkan sebesar 1,3 mm, 1 mm, 0,8 mm, 0,6 mm, dan untuk temperatur 200oF nilai mudcake yaitu 0,8 mm, 0,6 mm, 0,3 mm dan 0,2 mm. Kesimpulan: Kenaikan temperatur menyebabkan nilai filtration loss menurun dikarenakan kandungan air di dalam filtrat ikut menguap. Selain itu, semakin tinggi nilai filtration loss maka semakin tebal nilai dari mudcake dikarenakan banyaknya partikel yang mengendap.
