Authors: YALÇIKLI Derya
Published: August 2023

Kuzeybatı Anadolu’nun dağlık coğrafi yapısı içinde, geniş tarım alanlarına sahip Balıkesir Ovası’nda saptadığımız Prehistorik yerleşimler arasında Heybeli Höyük, buluntuları ile özgün bir yere sahiptir. Seramik buluntulara göre yerleşimde iki dönemin yaşandığı anlaşılmaktadır. Yerleşimin erken evresi Geç Neolitik Çağ’a tarihlenmekte olup Balıkesir Ovası’nın Marmara bölgesi Neolitik kültürünün yayılım alanı içinde yer almaktadır. Heybeli Höyük Kalkolitik Çağ seramik buluntularının büyük bir grubunun Ege sahil kesimi yerleşmelerinden tanınan seramik kültürüyle yakın paralellik içinde olduğu görülür. Bu veriler sayesinde geç evre, Erken-Orta Kalkolitik Çağ’a tarihlenebilmekte olup bu süreçte, Balıkesir Ovası’nın Ege kültürlerinin etki alanı içinde kaldığı anlaşılmaktadır. Her iki evre arasında bir zaman aralığı olduğu ve yerleşimin birbirlerinden farklı kültürlere sahip topluluklar tarafından iskan edildiği görülmektedir. Heybeli Höyük buluntuları sayesinde, Balıkesir Ovası’nın farklı dönemlerde Marmara ve Ege sahil kesimi kültürlerinin etki alanı içinde kalan bir bölge olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.

Published: August 2023

Cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC) has superior mobility and thermal
conduction than that of widely applied hexagonal 4H-SiC. Moreover, much
lower concentration of interfacial traps between insulating oxide gate
and 3C-SiC helps fabricate reliable and long-life devices like
metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). However,
the growth of high quality and wafer-scale 3C-SiC crystals has remained
a big challenge up to now despite of decades-long efforts by researchers
because of its easy transformation into other polytypes during growth,
limiting the development of 3C-SiC based devices. Herein, we report that
3C-SiC can be made thermodynamically favored from nucleation to growth
on a 4H-SiC substrate by top-seeded solution growth technique (TSSG),
beyond what’s expected by classic nucleation theory. This enables the
steady growth of high-quality and large-size 3C-SiC crystals
(2~4-inch in diameter and 4.0~10.0 mm in
thickness) sustainable. The as-grown 3C-SiC crystals are free of other
polytypes and have high crystalline quality. Our findings broaden the
mechanism of hetero-seed crystal growth and provide a feasible route to
mass production of 3C-SiC crystals, offering new opportunities to
develop power electronic devices potentially with better performances
than those based on 4H-SiC.

Published: August 2023

Aim: To test the feasibility and accuracy of a new
attention-based deep learning (DL) method for right ventricular (RV)
quantification using 2D echocardiography (2DE) with cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging (CMR) as reference. Methods and results: We
retrospectively analyzed images from 50 adult patients (median age 51,
interquartile range 32-62 42% women) who had undergone CMR within 1
month of 2DE. RV planimetry of the myocardial border was performed in
end-diastole (ED) and end-systole (ES) for 8 standardized 2DE RV views
with calculation of areas. The DL model comprised a Feature Tokenizer
module and a stack of Transformer layers. Age, gender and calculated
areas were used as inputs, and the output was RV volume in ED/ES. The
dataset was randomly split into training, validation and testing subsets
(35, 5 and 10 patients respectively). Mean RVEDV, RVESV and RV ejection
fraction (EF) were 163±70ml, 82±42ml and 51±8% respectively without
differences among the subsets. The proposed method achieved good
prediction of RV volumes (R =0.953, absolute
percentage error [APE]=9.75±6.23%) and RVEF (APE=7.24±4.55%). Per
CMR, there was 1 patient with RV dilatation and 3 with RV dysfunction in
the testing dataset. The DL model detected RV dilatation in 1/1 case and
RV dysfunction in 4/3 cases. Conclusions: An attention-based DL
method for 2DE RV quantification showed feasibility and promising
accuracy. The method requires validation in larger cohorts with wider
range of RV size and function. Further research will focus on the
reduction of the number of required 2DE to make the method clinically
applicable.

Improving Energy Harvesting from Cantilever-Like Structures Based on Beam Geometry
Authors: kurt polat , Orhan Sadettin
Published: August 2023

The power gain from the piezoelectric harvesters depends on the several
parameters and one of them is to design the substructure as to increase
the mechanical strain occurred in the piezoelectric material. In this
study, the effectiveness of auxetic structures is investigated by
comparing them to non-auxetic nonlinear structures rather than comparing
them to the plain structures unlike the literature. It is shown that the
power gain from auxetic structures is very high compared to plain
structures; however, this increase in power can also be achieved using a
non-auxetic simple rectangular structure in some cases. The increase in
the power gain using the auxetic structures is due to the increase in
the strain in the longitudinal direction, and the effect of the sign
change in the perpendicular direction is not very effective on the
response. In the second part of the study, four new shapes inspired by
Re-entrant structure are presented for increased power response, and
power responses of these structures are evaluated under different cases.
The results show that new structures outperformed the plain structure in
all cases and performed better from the auxetic structure in some cases.
A combination of finite element analysis and experimental study is
implemented in the study.

Authors: Zhang Ruifeng , Liu Lei , Yang Weiye , Liu Yao , Liu Yingkai
Published: August 2023

Bi2WO6 flower-like materials (FMs) were prepared by hydrothermal method
and reduced by in situ reduction reaction to obtain Au@Bi2WO6 FMs. The
samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron
microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM),
high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It is found that the calculated OV
content of Au@Bi2WO6 FMs is 25.16% whereas that of Bi2WO6 FMs is
20.81%, which provided potential active sites for gas adsorption and
then enhanced excellent sensing property. In addition, the performance
of Au@Bi2WO6 FMs sensors was evaluated by detecting volatile and toxic
gases such as formaldehyde, methanol, acetone, benzene, toluene, and
xylene. It revealed that the optimal operating temperatures for the
Bi2WO6 FMs and Au@Bi2WO6 FMs sensors were 290°C and 260°C, respectively.
Compared Au@ Bi2WO6 FMs sensor and Bi2WO6 FMs one, the best response of
the front was 250 (900) to 100 (800) ppm formaldehyde whereas that of
the latter was 90 (230). Therefore, Au@ Bi2WO6 FMs have good response
and selectivity, which are promising candidates for formaldehyde
detection.

Utilizing Weibull Distribution for Fitting System Data and Time Between Maintenance Operations to Derive Maintenance Schedules and Parameters for Critical Equipment in a Textile Industry
Authors: Kipchumba Bett , Chemweno Peter , Nganyi Eric , Ochola Jerry
Published: August 2023

In the context of a textile industry, where inconsistent maintenance
scheduling and disjointed maintenance strategies could lead to
breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and safety concerns, the need for
reliable maintenance schedules and coherent strategies became paramount.
This study endeavored to address this challenge by harnessing the power
of the Weibull distribution. Its application involved scrutinizing
system data and the time intervals between maintenance operations for
critical equipment, with the overarching goal of deriving maintenance
schedules and parameters that amplified both reliability and
performance. To realize this objective, a methodological approach rooted
in the Weibull distribution was employed. The analysis encompassed not
only failure data examination but also the calculation of the Mean Time
Between Failures (MTBF), offering insights into the system’s
reliability. The study delved into the intricate connections among
Weibull distribution parameters, hazard functions, and reliability
functions. To validate the derived models, an array of techniques such
as data fitting, probability plots, and regression analysis were
systematically undertaken. Consequently, the study unveiled a spectrum
of failure patterns contingent upon the shape parameters identified.
These patterns encompassed premature, random, and wear-out failure
modes, each necessitating specific maintenance strategies tailored to
optimize equipment performance and ensure safety. The calculated MTBF
values shed light on the equipment’s reliability, while the derived
probability density functions, survival functions, and hazard functions
enriched the comprehensive understanding of the system’s behavior. It
was established that a shape of 1.46503 implies that most of the
failures are associated with early wear-out failure. By pinpointing the
failure modes and aligning corresponding maintenance approaches, the
study not only enhanced equipment performance but also elevated safety
standards.The study also proposed avenues for improving analysis
accuracy through diverse data collection, real-time monitoring, and
exploring dynamic parameter adjustments to accommodate evolving
operational conditions.

Published: August 2023

Aim: As the non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) most
recently approved in China, data pertaining to clinical edoxaban use are
still scarce. This study investigated the prevalence of and contemporary
trends in edoxaban prescription among Chinese patients as well as
factors associated with its inappropriate use in a multi-center registry
of patients treated in real-world clinical practice. Methods: This
real-world, prospective, multicenter, and non-interventional study
included 1005 inpatients treated with edoxaban. According to National
Medical Products Administration and European Heart Rhythm Association
guidelines, edoxaban therapy was determined to be appropriate or
inappropriate in each case. Results: The median patient age was 70.0
years (interquartile range, 61.0–78.0 years), and 46.3% were women.
Overall, 456 (45.4%) patients received inappropriate edoxaban therapy,
and common issues included an inappropriately low (183, 18.2%) or high
(73, 7.3%) dosage, wrong drug selection (109, 10.8%), unreasonable
off-label use (49, 4.9%), incorrect administration timing (16, 1.6%),
and contraindication due to other medications (27, 2.7%). Several
factors (e.g., age, weight, kidney function, anemia, and bleeding
history) were associated with an increased risk of inappropriate
edoxaban therapy, whereas factors associated with cardiovascular
specialties (e.g., hospitalized in cardiovascular department and
dronedarone or amiodarone use) decreased this risk. Conclusion: In this
real-world study, 45.4% of patients received an inappropriate treatment
with edoxaban. Multiple clinical characteristics can help identify
patients who should receive edoxaban. Further development and
implantation of educational activities and management strategies are
needed to ensure the correct use of edoxaban.
Neural correlates of inspection time: the tactical role of P3b
Authors: Pei Yilai , Lee Tatia , Wang ZhaoXing
Published: August 2023

Both P3b and Inspection Time Task (ITT) are related with intelligence,
yet their relationships have not been well addressed. This event-related
potential study sought to address this question with four levels of
discriminative stimulus duration, and further tried to shed lights on
the long controversial subject about what psychological process is
associated with P3b. Participants (N=25) were asked to perform this ITT
while undergoing 64-channel EEG recording. A Tapping task and four
Elementary Cognitive Tests (ECTs), including a Simple Reaction Time
(SRT), 2 Choice Reaction Time task (CRT), and a Pattern Discrimination
task (PD), were included. N1, P1, and P3b at Pz were analyzed. Results
showed that the P3b latency significantly prolonged with the increase of
ITT duration. More intriguingly, the P3b latencies was negatively
correlated with ITT accuracies but positively correlated with the RTs of
the SRT, but only in the 34 ms condition. No significant correlation was
found between the P3b latencies and the RTs of other ECTs or the Tapping
task. Our results indicate that those who are able to accurately
perceive and process very briefly presented stimuli have a higher
information processing speed reflected by P3b latency, which is likely a
reflection of mainly bottom-up process to form a perceptual memory and a
decision. We conclude that these results support Verleger et al.’s view
that P3b elicited by ITT, at least in the early stage, is more related
with tactical processing that marks the closure of a perceptual epoch,
rather than strategic processing or metacognition.

Published: August 2023

Central Asia (CA) is experiencing rapid warming, leading to more Extreme
precipitation events (EPEs). However, the anticipated changes in
cropland and population exposure to EPEs are still unexplored. In this
study, projected changes in EPEs characteristics, as well as cropland
and population exposure from EPEs are quantified using global climate
model simulations. Our findings reveal a significant increase in the
exposure of cropland and population to extreme precipitation over time.
Specifically, under the high-emission SSP5-8.5 future pathway, the
amount, frequency, intensity, and spatial extent of extreme
precipitation in CA are projected to considerably amplify, particularly
in the high mountain regions. Under the SSP5-8.5 scenario, cropland
exposure in CA increases by 46.4%, with a total cropland exposure of
approximately 190.7 million km² expected between 2021 and 2100.
Additionally, under the SSP3-7.0 scenario, population exposure in CA
increases by 92.6%, resulting in a total population exposure of about
48.1 billion person-days during the same period. The future maximum
centers of exposure are concentrated over northern Kazakhstan and the
tri-border region of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan. Notably,
the climate effect is more dominant than the other effects, whereas
changes in population effect contribute to the total change in
population exposure. Given the heterogeneous distribution of population
and cropland in CA, it is imperative for the countries in the region to
implement effective measures that harness extreme precipitation and cope
with the impacts of these extreme climate events.

Published: August 2023

The rapid growth of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports underscores the
importance of CO2 monitoring for LNG export terminals. This study
presents a method for measuring CO2 emissions using remote sensing
imaging spectroscopy applied to LNG terminals. The method is first
validated using 47 power plant emission events with in situ measured
data, then applied to 22 emission events in Sabine Pass and Cameron LNG
terminals. The power plant dataset shows a robust correlation between
our emission rate estimates and in situ data, with R2 0.9146 and the
average error −2%. At Sabine Pass, 8 point sources are identified with
emission rates ranging from 219.69 ± 54.95 to 1083.22 ± 308.06 t/hr. At
Cameron, 3 point sources are identified with emission rates ranging from
91.64 ± 25.81 to 265.61 ± 67.80 t/hr. This study illustrates the
potential of remote sensing to validate environmental reporting and CO2
inventories for industrial facilities.

Hyperbolic Navier-Stokes equations in three space dimensions
Authors: Abdelhedi Bouthaina
Published: August 2023

We consider in this paper a hyperbolic quasilinear version of the
Navier-Stokes equations in three space dimensions, obtained by using
Cattaneo type law instead of a Fourier law. In our earlier work [2], we
proved the global existence and uniqueness of solutions for initial data
small enough in the space H4(R3)3 ? H3(R3)3. In this paper, we refine our
previous result in [2], we establish the existence under a significantly
lower regularity. We first prove the local existence and uniqueness of
solution, for initial data in the space H5 2 +?(R3)3 ?H32 +?(R3)3, ? > 0.
Under weaker smallness assumptions on the initial data and the forcing term,
we prove the global existence of solutions. Finally, we show that if ? is
close to 0, then the solution of the perturbed equation is close to the
solution of the classical Navier-Stokes equations.
A new approach to fully degenerate Bernoulli numbers and polynomials
Authors: Kim Taekyun , Kim Dae
Published: August 2023

In this paper, we consider the doubly indexed sequence a(r) ? (n,m), (n,m ?
0), defined by a recurrence relation and an initial sequence a(r) ? (0,m),
(m ? 0). We derive with the help of some differential operator an explicit
expression for a(r) ? (n, 0), in term of the degenerate r-Stirling numbers
of the second kind and the initial sequence. We observe that a(r) ? (n, 0) =
?n,?(r), for a(r) ? (0,m) = 1/m+1 , and a(r) ? (n, 0) = En,?(r), for a(r) ?
(0,m) = (1/2)m . Here ?n,?(x) and En,?(x) are the fully degenerate
Bernoulli polynomials and the degenerate Euler polynomials, respectively.
Genetic Evidence Strongly Supports Managing Weight and Blood Pressure in Addition to Glycemic Control in Preventing Vascular Complications in People With Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: Ahmed Altayeb , Amin Hasnat , Drenos Fotios , Sattar Naveed , Yaghootkar Hanieh
Published: August 2023

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the causal association of type 2 diabetes and its components with risk of vascular complications independent of shared risk factors obesity and hypertension and to identify the main driver of this risk.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) using independent genetic variants previously associated with type 2 diabetes, fasting glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, BMI, and systolic blood pressure as instrumental variables. We obtained summary-level data for 18 vascular diseases (15 for type 2 diabetes) from FinnGen and publicly available genome-wide association studies as our outcomes. We conducted univariable and multivariable MR, in addition to sensitivity tests to detect and minimize pleiotropic effects.

RESULTS

Univariable MR analysis showed that type 2 diabetes was associated with 9 of 15 outcomes; BMI and systolic blood pressure were associated with 13 and 15 of 18 vascular outcomes, respectively; and fasting insulin was associated with 4 and fasting glucose with 2. No robust association was found for HbA1c instruments. With adjustment for correlated traits in the multivariable test, BMI and systolic blood pressure, consistent causal effects were maintained, while five associations with type 2 diabetes (chronic kidney disease, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and intracerebral hemorrhage) were attenuated to null.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings add strong evidence to support the importance of BMI and systolic blood pressure in the development of vascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes. Such findings strongly support the need for better weight and blood pressure management in type 2 diabetes, independent of glucose lowering, to limit important complications.
Fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli among the rectal flora is the predominant risk factor for severe infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy: a prospective observational study
Authors: Holmbom Martin , Forsberg Jon , Fredrikson Mats , Nilsson Maud , Nilsson Lennart E. , Hanberger Håkan , Hällgren Anita
Published: August 2023

Background: Infection of the prostate gland following biopsy, usually with Escherichia coli, is a common complication, despite the use of antimicrobial prophylaxis. A fluoroquinolone (FQ) is commonly prescribed as prophylaxis. Worryingly, the rate of fluoroquinolone-resistant (FQ-R) E. coli species has been shown to be increasing.Objective: This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with infection after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx).Methods: This was a prospective study on patients undergoing TRUS-Bx in southeast Sweden. Prebiopsy rectal and urine cultures were obtained, and antimicrobial susceptibility and risk-group stratification were determined. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for post-biopsy urinary tract infection (UTI) and FQ-R E. coli in the rectal flora.Results: In all, 283 patients were included, of whom 18 (6.4%) developed post-TRUS-Bx UTIs. Of these, 10 (3.5%) had an UTI without systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and 8 (2.8%) had a UTI with SIRS. Being in the medium- or high-risk groups of infectious complications was not an independent risk factor for UTI with SIRS after TRUS-Bx, but low-level FQ-resistance (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC): 0.125–0.25 mg/L) or FQ-resistance (MIC > 0.5 mg/L) among E. coli in the faecal flora was. Risk for SIRS increased in parallel with increasing degrees of FQ-resistance. Significant risk factor for harbouring FQ-R E.coli was travelling outside Europe within the previous 12 months.Conclusion: The predominant risk factor for UTI with SIRS after TRUS-Bx was FQ-R E. coli among the faecal flora. The difficulty in identifying this type of risk factor demonstrates a need for studies on the development of a general approach either with rectal swab culture for targeted prophylaxis, or prior rectal preparation with a bactericidal agent such as povidone-iodine before TRUS-Bx to reduce the risk of FQ-R E. coli-related infection.

The Armed Conflict in Ukraine: Use of Force, Prosecution, and Complicity
Authors: Nursabrina Mizalfia
Published: August 2023

In the early hours of Thursday, 24 February 2022, President Vladimir Putin addressed the Russian people and declared to the world that Russia has decided to commence a “special military operation” against Ukraine. Shortly afterwards, the Russian military entered Ukrainian territory from many parts of the country. The conflict has resulted in heavy casualties, especially within the Ukrainians. The international community has condemned the invasion, stating that it violates Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, and it’s contrary to the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations (UN Charter).  The North Atlantic Council has also identified the attack as “a grave violation of international law, including the UN Charter.

In the wake of protests sounded by the international community, Russia has continued to oppose such arguments. As a preliminary analysis, it is evident that Russia’s actions against Ukraine consist of elements of force. Rather than denying the allegations, Russia has justified its use of force by referring to principles of international law. This paper examines a brief background of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, Russia’s and Ukraine’s justifications in the war, the possible prosecution of high-ranking Russian officials in potential fora’s, and also Belarus’ involvement in the conflict. While this paper finds that Russia’s justifications for their invasion are unlawful and invokes their responsibility, there are obstacles in prosecuting the crimes. It also considers that Belarus is responsible for their involvement.

Authors: R Abishek J , S Hariharan , M Anbu Priya
Published: August 2023

Background: Ethics becomes inevitable in the physiotherapy profession as it is concerned with professionalism and patient outcomes by avoiding patient-therapist conflicts and helps avoiding medical negligence.
Objctive: This study aims to explore the impedance faced by the community physiotherapist in implementing the code of ethics.
Methodology: A structured interview-based questionnaire was framed to assess the perception of ethics, role of ethics and the barriers faced in implementing ethical guidelines by community physiotherapist during their practice.
Results: Ethics is important as it dignifies the profession and gains the confidences of the patient and helps in developing a good rapport with the patient. The most important barriers faced by the physiotherapist in abiding by the code of ethics were the unawareness among the patient and their cultural belief alongside with lack of inter-sectorial harmony.
Conclusion: This study concludes that educating the patients and creating an inter-sectoral harmony will be most effective in breaking the barriers in ethical implementation in practice.

Published: August 2023

During the pandemic, the issue of sexual violence against children in Indonesia reached 10,328 cases. One form of media that can be a source of information in Indonesia are news portals. The media should carry out objectivity in publishing news about sexual violence. News pertaining to sexual violence against children has been highlighted by the media; among them are Kompas.com and Tribunnews.com. This study aims to determine the level of factuality and impartiality of news portals in producing news content on sexual violence against children. Researchers use a quantitative approach with a descriptive nature. In this study, researchers looked at each indicator, including the level of truth, relevance, balance, and neutrality, by Westersthal's concept of objectivity. Researchers use a positivistic paradigm and descriptive content analysis research method. The results showed that the level of truth in the news on Tribunnews.com is higher while Kompas.com has not fulfilled the news with 5W + 1H, Kompas.com still has not fulfilled the level of relevance while Tribunnews.com has fulfilled the level of social reality and the audience so that the news is not subjective. At the level of balance, Kompas.com and Tribunnews.com still tend to report the perpetrator's point of view, and Tribunnews.com still uses hyperbolic language in processing news. In assessing factuality and impartiality, Kompas.com and Tribunnews.com still do not meet the objective requirements in producing news of sexual violence against children.
Blurring Context and One-Sided: Kompas.com in Framing the West Papua Crisis
Authors: Adiprasetio Justito , Taqiyya Almas
Published: August 2023

In September 2021, the conflict between West Papuan separatist groups and the Indonesian National Army (TNI) heated up. Kompas.com, one of Indonesia's media with the most extensive readership, contributes significantly to public understanding and perception of the West Papua crisis. This study aims to examine how Kompas.com frames the West Papua crisis on 7-30 September 2021. Framing analysis examines three important aspects of news framing: crisis frames, thematic and episodic frames, and news sources. The news regarding the West Papua crisis on 7-30 September 2020 was only filled with three frames: conflict, attribution of responsibility, and human interest. Kompas.com has tried to provide space for parties with a moderate position in the conflict, such as the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), Komnas HAM (National Commission on Human Rights), and Kontras (The Commission for Disappeared and Victims of Violence). However, in general, the news is still very much dominated by news sources from the Indonesian government and the military and not using enough thematic frames. Kompas.com needs to be more comprehensive to report on the crisis in West Papua during the reporting period of 7-30 September 2020. Kompas.com also does not elaborate that the Free Papua movement is plural and fragmentary, with a spectrum of violent movements to peace movements. The conclusion of this study, Kompas.com tends to blur the context of the West Papua crisis, which risks limiting and directing public understanding of the West Papua crisis to exist within the government's frame.

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) belongs to multipurpose crops. All parts of sorghum can be used both as main products and derivative products; some derivative products produced from the sorghum plant consist of sugar, bioethanol, biomass, handicraft raw materials and starch. This study aims to determine the time required for testing the vigor and viability of sorghum seeds using the electrical conductivity and radicle emergence methods. The study was conducted in two experimental stages using a completely randomized design. The first experiment consisted of two factors: the number of sorghum seeds (40, 70 and 100 grains) and the volume of soaking water (75, 100, 125, and 150 ml). The second experiment consisted of two factors: research method (germination/control method, electrical conduction method, and radicle emergence method) and varieties (consisted of Numbu, Kawali, Suri 3, and Suri 4). The first experiment's results showed that the best electrical conductivity method on Suri 4 varieties were 40 seeds and 150 ml water volume. The electrical conductivity value is negatively correlated with Germination capacity, vigor index, growth of speed, maximum growth potential, and sprout growth rate. Time needed for Electrical Conductivity method in this study was three days. The germination period of 96 hours gives the best results on the radicle emergence of sorghum seed varieties. Vigor index, growth of speed, germination capacity, and maximum growth potential are positively correlated with the value of radicula emergence.Keywords: Electrical Conductivity, Radicle emergence, Vigor, Viability, Germination

Published: August 2023

The moringa plant (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is a member of the Moringaceae family that grows in Indonesia. Moringa plants have many benefits, both as a source of food, medicine, and cosmetics. The development of moringa plants in Indonesia has not been carried out because it is still constrained by the absence of a mother tree and a source of moringa seed gardens. This study aims to identify morphological characters and production potential in two populations of moringa plants. The research was conducted in August 2021 in East Flores District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. The research was conducted by determining the selected mother tree (SMT), observing morphological characters, and seed production. Exploration of selected parent trees was carried out using a survey method on two moringa plant populations in Tiwatobi and Harubala villages. Observations of plant morphological characters were carried out on quantitative and qualitative characters. The production potential is carried out by estimating the production of moringa seeds in each population. The results showed that there were 19 SMTs in the first population and 29 SMTs in the second population. There are 27 morphological characters that have been observed, with the potential for seed production in each population of 314,554 seeds and 529,538 seeds per year.Keywords: moringa, morphology, mother tree, seed, population

Published: August 2023

Patchouli plants produce essential oils and are used as a raw material and fixative agent for perfumes. The most widely cultivated patchouli plant in Indonesia is Aceh patchouli. Sexual propagation in Aceh patchouli plants is impossible as it does not flower. Genetic diversity can be elevated through another method, such as polyploidy induction using colchicine. This research aimed to evaluate the state-of-the-art application of polyploidization techniques as a breeding tool for callus-based explants. A completely randomized design with a factorial pattern was used in this experiment consisting of two factors, patchouli cultivars (Sidikalang, Tapak Tuan, and Lhokseumawe) and colchicine concentration (0.0%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 1%).  The result showed an interaction between three patchouli cultivars with colchicine concentration on callus size and color characters. In Sidikalang cultivar, 0.2% colchicine concentration affects the character of callus emergence time and has more buds. In cultivar Tapak Tuan, the application of colchicine 0.2% affects the callus size character and has the highest number of buds. In the Lhokseumawe cultivar, giving 0.5% colchicine affects the character of callus appearance time, callus size, and callus color. Concentrations of 0.2% and 1.0% colchicine in Sidikalang and Tapak Tuan calluses increased the number of chromosomes, ranging from 2n (32), 3n (48), and 4n (64). The implication of the research could be disclosure of an opportunity to create a new superior variety.

Published: August 2023

The Weberian narrative has become ingrained in the Indonesian bureaucracy has an impact on the fact that the bureaucratic reform agenda is not yet actual, so that public disappointment with the performance of the bureaucracy is still a general finding. The performance of the bureaucracy in Indonesia is still ineffective. To overhaul this order, Zizek’s thoughts on the subject deserve to be placed as a critical activity in exploring the role of the state civil apparatus (SCA). This study aims to read the authentic potential of bureaucrats as agents of change in bureaucratic reform in Indonesia by borrowing the analysis of the Zizekian radical subject. This research method uses a desk study by collecting data and information based on information analysis and secondary data. The results showed that basically SCA has an authentic capacity as a radical subject, in this case the subject of reform which is able to overthrow the Weberian bureaucratic structure that has become the shackles of the Symbolic One. This can be done by organizing the subject of reform collectively which is continually breaking the Weberian bureaucracy. The important implication of this study is as an anchor for SCAs who believe in the importance of change in the bureaucratic environment and that their role is very important as agents of reform subjects who dare to risk themselves taking action towards better bureaucratic reform.

Pagoda as a cultural product and religious institution that must be maintained as a national cultural treasure. Siu Hok Bio Temple is one of the oldest temples in Semarang. The pagoda is able to maintain the authenticity of the building and the values of Chinese culture and Taoist religious values, and even become a center of reference for the culture and values of Taoism. However, there are concerns about its sustainability because there is no younger generation who want to continue their cultural and religious values. Starting from this, this research wants to examine by focusing on the efforts of pagodas to maintain their existence as centers of Chinese culture and Taoist values in areas where the majority are of other religions. This research uses a theoretical approach through the perspective of social exchange evolution theory developed by Sillar, 2019 and ICT (Integrative Communication Theory) theory, 2005. The research method uses subjective interpretive research, a qualitative approach through participatory research. The conclusion of the research shows that the external approach to the environment is carried out in participatory communication quite successfully. However, in building communication with the congregation the pagoda tends to be puritanical and conservative, so that integrative communication cannot be carried out, which in the end does not occur conducive social exchange. The recommendation is to separate the values of Taoism and Chinese culture in order to be adaptive to the younger generation who have entered the digital world.
Fernando Noy: escriba viviente de mitos recientes
Authors: Bevacqua Guillermina
Published: August 2023

Fernando Noy es un ser poiético aunque él prefiere llamarse un poema encarnado. Su yire cultural comenzó hacia la década del sesenta, primero, en compañía de Tanguito, después, de la mano de Alejandra Pizarnik. En los setenta, exiliado en Brasil, supo ser la dona del carnaval. De vuelta en los años ochenta, fue artífice de mágicos escenarios donde la libertad se hizo cuerpo. Su poesía sobrevivió a la superficialidad de los noventa con intensidad y complicidades afectivas. Es musa creativa de nuestro tiempo y, aún hoy, sus pactos y andanzas con aquellos años, lo vuelven la reina de eso que alguna vez llamaron under. En 2001, como abrazando al enviado, compiló la biografía coral: Te lo juro por Batato. En esta entrevista, Fernando Noy, tal encarnación de un crono paracultural, reconstruye las aventuras de una vida en continuo carnaval y, como médium de un lisérgico viaje que desembocó en las neobarrosas aguas del Rio de La Plata, relata aquella tan mentada consagración de lo obvio.
Drivers and Loci of Big Data Innovation: A Review, Synthesis, and Future Research Directions
Authors: Radojević Nebojša , Heumüller Erich
Published: August 2023

Despite a drastic increase in the amount of data collected and stored, the exact role that big data plays in innovation remains a subject of a diverging debate. This paper hence employs a systematic literature review and qualitative analysis techniques to identify, analyze and synthesize extant conceptual contributions on how big data drives the innovation process, where this process takes place, and which theoretical perspectives have shaped the research on big data innovation so far. Our findings reveal that big data innovation primarily takes place cooperatively, in the form of open innovation or within innovation networks, and that it is simultaneously driven by a variety of drivers. However, purposeful applications of big data and analytics for innovating in response to existing but unsatisfied market needs ("market pull") remain comparatively underresearched. Concomitantly, the theoretical lenses of “traditional” innovation management have largely framed the research on big data innovation so far. We coherently integrate these findings within an overarching framework and suggest an extensive future research agenda.
