Authors: Mahdhalita Daraini , Fauziah Ida , Rahmiati Rahmiati , Sartini Sartini
Published: July 2023

Pandan Wangi (Pandanus amaryllifolius) is a plant that grows in the tropics and is known to contain antioxidants. Pandan Wangi can be a garden plant or deliberately planted in the yard. The preparations made in this study were pandan extract peel-off gel masks with varying concentrations of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). PVA is a water-soluble eco-friendly polymer. This study aims to determine the effect of PVA concentration on the physical quality of peel off gel mask preparations of fragrant pandan leaf extract. The research was conducted using laboratory experimental methods. Three gel peel off mask preparation formulas were used in the study, namely FI (5% PVA), FII (10% PVA) and FIII (15% PVA). Parameters for observing the quality of the peel off gel mask preparations included organoleptic tests, namely changes in aroma, color and shape as well as viscosity. The results showed that after a storage period of 28 days, the physical quality of the pandan leaf extract peel-off gel mask was still good. The mask preparation is characterized by a pale yellow color, smells of fragrant pandan extract and has a soft texture. Variation of PVA concentration affected the viscosity of the pandan leaf extract gel mask preparation.

RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN JAVANESE CULTURE IN THE COMMUNITY OF TRIRENGGO VILLAGE, BANTUL, YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Haryanto Joko Tri
Published: July 2023

The phenomenon of radicalism and violence with religious nuances encourages the emergence of a discourse of religious moderation. Religious moderation is expected to direct a moderate, tolerant, and friendly related to the balance between religious commitment and the attitude toward religious relations. Indonesian people, especially the Javanese people, along with their rich culture and traditions, can encourage the discourse of religious moderation based on local culture in the form of social practices, institutions, and various traditions. This article reveals the practice of religious moderation in Javanese culture, which is grounded in the behaviour and way of life of the people of Trirenggo Village, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta. The research was conducted using qualitative methods through data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The study results show that the Javanese cultural values â€‹â€‹adopted by the Trirenggo community teach an attitude of living in harmony with the environment, including relationships among residents and religious adherents. Various social activities show Javanese cultural values â€‹â€‹that are in harmony with religious moderation carried out interfaith and the Javanese's social view of life, manners, and work concepts. The traditional expression as a reflection of the philosophy of life is internalized into self-awareness and morality, and externalization is in the form of views and moderation behaviour in carrying out social relations in society. The Trirenggo people construct themselves as Javanese people who get along harmoniously through moderate attitudes and behaviour. Thus, Javanese culture can be important for strengthening religious moderation in society.

Odpowiedzialność wobec pasażera za przedwczesny odjazd środka transportu publicznego
Authors: Gawrysiak-Zabłocka Aleksandra
Published: July 2023

The inspiration for this article came from the Court of Justice of the European Union judgment in case C-146/20 Azurair et al. Punctuality is extremely important in public transport. Problems arise not only when buses or trains are delayed, but also when they leave too early. Among the regulations aimed at ensuring punctuality is – in addition to European Union regulations – also Article 62(1) of the Polish Transport Law. This study aims at discussing prerequisites for liability to a passenger for the early departure of means of public transport. Amongst other things, the following questions are taken into consideration: with whom does the passenger conclude the contract and from whom can he claim compensation? can compensation be claimed by a person legally entitled to free travel (100% discount)? can compensation be claimed by a passenger who was in time for departure (albeit early)? The conclusion of this analysis is that, although compensation under Article 62(1) of the Polish Transport Law is rarely claimed in practice, it is a necessary provision. It guarantees those few passengers who have suffered damage as a result of the early departure of the means of transport (and are able to prove this damage) the right to full compensation.

The aim of the paper is to present comments to the second draft of the franchise agreement regulation proposed by Rafał Adamus. Undoubtedly, the franchise agreement requires statutory regulation, hence the solutions to be adopted in the planned act are very important. The study discusses the issue of the place of regulation of the franchise agreement (the Civil Code or a separate act), the definition of this agreement, the regulation of the agreement taking into account the Act on Combating Unfair Competition of 16 April 1993, the essence and content of the information prepared by the franchise network organizer, the rights and obligations of the parties of the agreement, the advisability of introducing regulations on practices infringing the collective interests of franchisees and intertemporal rules. The paper contains suggestions concerning additional solutions in the planned regulation, e.g. about issues related to the sub franchise agreements, the rules of joint (and several) liability of the franchisee and the franchisor towards third parties, overriding provisions and regulation regarding the obligation of the parties to the contract to care for the good name of the franchisor and the entire network. The study is to be an incentive for further intensive work on the statutory regulation of the franchise agreement.

Abstract

Research to determine the effect of several salt concentrations on several tidal local rice varieties in Indragiri Regency. The research was conducted in the wire house of the Faculty of Agriculture from March to June 2020. This research used a completely randomized factorial design with 2 treatment factors, namely variety and salt concentration. The variety factor consisted of the Frog, Lemongrass, Karya, Arum and Super varieties. The salt concentration factor consisted of 0 nM, 100 nM, 200 nM and 300 nM. IR 64 which is salt sensitive is used as a control variety. All varieties of rice were sown in tarpaulins with mud as the medium. Rice seeds that are 14 days old are transferred to polybags. Rice is watered with tap water twice per day for two weeks. After two weeks of watering, the rice was then flushed with NaCl according to the treatment twice per day. Salt watering was stopped when one of the lines died (salt sensitive lines) then continued with watering with tap water twice per day for two weeks. The influence of the salt concentration given to the Serai variety showed that leaf width, number of tillers and root length were quite tolerant at concentrations of 100 – 300 nM, while the Super variety produced smaller number of tillers, leaf width and root length compared to other treatments, especially at a salt concentration of 300 nM.

Authors: Rahayu Niken Calista
Published: July 2023

Vegetables are food ingredients that are needed by humans, but there are other things that must be known that most vegetables consumed today cannot be separated from the influence of chemical substances. Vegetables cultivated under the influence of chemicals will mostly contain chemical residues which can be bad for humans who consume them continuously. Therefore, it is necessary to have an agricultural system that is more environmentally friendly or commonly referred to as organic farming to deal with this problem. The purpose of this study is to describe the process flow of organic vegetable production at CV. Reja Mayur. This research is expected to provide information to the public regarding the flow of organic vegetable production and can become a database for further research. The research method used is the method of active participation and interviews, where the results will be analyzed using descriptive methods. The results of this study are on CV. Reja Mayur has 7 stages of organic vegetable production which consist of tillage, seeding, transfer of seeds, nutrition, maintenance, pest control, and harvest and post-harvest.
Epidermoid cyst of the brain: A common cystic lesion in rare location
Authors: Kuppusamy Thilagarani , AJITH SOWMYA
Published: July 2023

Epidermoid cysts are common benign tumors comprising around 1% and 2% of all intracranial tumors. Their usual locations include the parasellar region and cerebellopontine angle, and less commonly, the Sylvian fissure, suprasellar region, cerebral, and cerebellar hemispheres. Epidermoid cysts located in the brain stem are rare. These epidermoid cysts are similar to epidermoids arising in the skin which contain cheesy and flaky-white soft pultaceous material. Epidermoid cysts are very slow-growing tumors having a similar growth pattern of the epidermal cells of the skin and develop from the remnants of epidermal elements during the closure of the neural groove and disjunction of the surface ectoderm with neural ectoderm between the 3rd and 5th weeks of embryonic life. The ideal treatment of choice is the removal of cystic components with the complete resection of the capsule. We are presenting an interesting case of an epidermoid cyst in the frontal lobe in a 42-year-old male along with radiological investigations.
The 'uberization of policing'? How police negotiate and operationalise predictive policing technology
Authors: Sandhu Ajay , Fussey Peter
Published: July 2023

Predictive policing generally refers to police work that utilises strategies, algorithmic technologies, and big data to generate near-future predictions about the people and places deemed likely to be involved in or experience crime. Claimed benefits of predictive policing centre on the technology’s ability to enable pre-emptive police work by automating police decisions. The goal is that officers will rely on computer software and smartphone applications to instruct them about where and who to police just as Uber drivers rely on similar technologies to instruct them about where to pick up passengers. Unfortunately, little is known about the experiences of the in-field users of predictive technologies. This article helps fill this gap by addressing the under researched area of how police officers engage with predictive technologies. As such, data is presented that outlines the findings of a qualitative study with UK police organisations involved in designing and trialing predictive policing software. Research findings show that many police officers have a detailed awareness of the limitations of predictive technologies, specifically those brought about by errors and biases in input data. This awareness has led many officers to develop a sceptical attitude towards predictive technologies and, in a few cases, these officers have expressed a reluctance to use predictive technologies. Based on these findings, this paper argues that claims about predictive software’s ability to neutralise the subjectivity of police work overlooks the ongoing struggles of the police officer to assert their agency and mediate the extent to which predictions will be trusted and utilised.

Published: July 2023

This study is to assess the level of some heavy metals in samples of wild and cultured catfish (Clarias gariepinusis) regularly consumed, therefore, the need to ascertain the safety of the consumption of this fish. Fresh samples of the wild and the cultured Clarias fish of different sizes were purchased from different locations in Samaru – Zaria, Nigeria. The fish samples were digested with a mixture of 20 cm3 concentrated nitric acid and 5 cm3perchloric acid (ratio 4:1). The concentrations of lead, copper, chromium, cadmium and Zinc were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The results obtained indicated that in both wild and cultured Clarias gariepinusis, the concentration of Zn > Cr > Cu > Pb > Cd. The concentrations of all the heavy metals determined in the various sizes of wild Clarias gariepinusis samples were higher than the corresponding cultured Clarias fish. In both wild and the cultured Clarias fish the concentrations of Cd, Pb and Cr were found to be in the order of: small size > medium size > large size, but for Cu and Zn there were variations in concentrations. In wild Clarias fish the concentrations of Cd, Pb and Cr were found to be higher than the permissive limits set by FAO/WHO, while in cultured fish only Cr concentration was higher than the permissive limit.  Though the contents of heavy metals determined in this study have a great health implication on human, aquaculture and fisheries activities be encouraged.

Published: July 2023

Lipoxygenase (LOX) is an enzyme that catalyses the step-wise oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to form fatty acid hydroperoxides within living tissues. In the present study, lipoxygenase was isolated from defatted and whole (full fat) conophor nut (Tetracarpidium conophorum) and purified to homogeneity using 60% ammonium sulphate precipitation, DEAE-sephadex A50 and sephadex G-200 chromatography. The effects of pH and temperature on the activity and stability of LOX were investigated. The optimum pH and temperature of the purified lipoxygenase were 5.0 and 50 oC, respectively. Lipoxygenase activity was stable at 40 oC and 50 oC after an hour of incubation. The enzyme was stable at pH values of 5.0 and 6.0. The activity of the enzyme was enhanced by Ca2+ while Zn2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ inhibited its activity. The Km and Vmax values were 40.38 µM and 125 µmol/min/mg proteins, respectively. The molecular weight was estimated to be 67.83 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The findings reveal that conophor nut can be a cheap source of industrial lipoxygenase, which could be exploited in various biotechnological applications. The enzyme’s thermostability and adaptation in slightly acidic medium are factors that can help boost its acceptability in food systems.
Unlocking Undergraduate Student Success: A Study of High-Impact Practices in a Comprehensive and Diverse College
Authors: Shi Qingmin , Cresiski Robin , Thanki Sandip , Navarrete Lori
Published: July 2023

This study examines undergraduate senior students’ participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) and the relationship of that participation with engagement indicators, perceived gains, and overall satisfaction, as well as institutional outcomes of persistence and graduation based on race/ethnicity, first-generation status, and low-income status. Drawing on multiple years of data from 1,482 undergraduate seniors who completed the 2015 through 2019 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and enrolled in a comprehensive four-year state college, this study indicates that HIP participants reported higher levels of engagement, perceived gains, and overall satisfaction. Participation in HIPs is also positively related to improved persistence or graduation, particularly for racially minoritized students. While overall participation patterns were similar regardless of race/ethnicity or first-generation status, low-income students had higher participation rates in HIPs and participated in more kinds of HIPs as compared to their non-low-income counterparts. Implications of implementing and increasing access to HIPs for enhancing student success in similar institutions are discussed.
What Does “Success” Mean to Students at a Selective University? Individual Differences and Implications for Well-Being
Authors: Lipstein Malorie , Wong Michelle , Hard Bridgette
Published: July 2023

This study investigated how college students (N = 376) at a private, selective university (a) define success in college in their own words, and how conceptions of success (b) relate to differences in motivation and other individual differences, and (c) predict well-being. A thematic analysis suggested that students’ definitions of success were multifaceted, but the most common themes reflected academic and social criteria for success. Students who defined success in terms of Experience (e.g., trying new things) and Future-Readiness (e.g., preparedness to handle life after college) tended to be higher in mastery orientation and intrinsic motivation. Success definitions varied with demographic characteristics, including gender, class year, race, first-generation status, academic interests, and more, in ways that likely reflect differences in students’ cultural backgrounds and interests. Finally, well-being was higher in students who defined success in terms of Intellectual Growth (e.g., learning, being challenged, determining academic interests). We discuss the implications of these findings for practice (e.g., for university administrators, faculty, and advisors) and for future research.
Understanding the Impact of Data-Driven Tools on Advising Practice and Student Support
Authors: Kyte Sarah , Atkins Celeste , Collins Elizabeth , Deil-Amen Regina
Published: July 2023

Universities are increasingly turning toward data-driven technologies like data dashboards to support advisors’ work in student success, yet little empirical work has explored whether these tools help or hinder best practices in advising, which is in many ways a relationship-based enterprise. This mixed-methods study analyzed whether and why the release of a student success dashboard impacted proactive and/or developmental advising at a large public university. After quantitatively demonstrating no measurable changes in advising practice following the release of the dashboard, qualitative evidence from interviews with advisors was used to interpret and explain the disconnect between the tool and the advising community. This study places scholarly attention from a practitioner perspective on the largely structural challenges to integrating retention software into advisors’ work in supporting their students’ success, with implications for the successful implementation of data-driven student success tools more broadly.

Published: July 2023

Pandemi COVID-19 yang telah berlangsung selama dua tahun terakhir menyebabkan disrupsi layanan kesehatan di berbagai bidang kesehatan tanpa terkecuali termasuk layanan kesehatan jiwa di seluruh negara di dunia. Tinjauan pustaka ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi potensi media sosial sebagai media promosi kesehatan jiwa di masa pandemi COVID-19. Penelusuran literatur dilakukan di 2 situs pencari (Google Scholar dan PubMed) yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi. Dari hasil penelurusuran diketahui bahwa media sosial sering dijadikan sebagai sarana untuk berbagi informasi dengan banyak orang lainnya. Aksesnya yang relatif mudah menjadikan media sosial sebagai platform berbagi yang cukup efektif dengan jangkauan yang luas. Salah satu platform media sosial yang banyak digunakan oleh masyarakat dari berbagai latar belakang dan usia adalah Instagram. Penggunaan Instagram sebagai salah satu media edukasi atau penyuluhan kesehatan yang murah, dan mudah untuk diakses masyarakat luas merupakan salah satu opsi yang efektif dalam upaya promosi kesehatan di masa pandemi. Berbagai studi menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media sosial berdampak positif terhadap upaya promosi kesehatan termasuk promosi kesehatan jiwa. Berdasarkan hasil survey WHO di akhir tahun 2021, didapatkan masih banyak masyarakat yang tidak dapat mengakses layanan kesehatan baik di tingkat perawatan primer maupun lanjut di era pandemi COVID-19. Situasi ini dapat berdampak pada information flow di dunia kedokteran dan kesehatan di mana dikhawatirkan dapat menyebabkan tersebarnya informasi kesehatan yang menyesatkan (misleading atau false information/hoax). Karena keterbatasan interaksi sosial akibat situasi pandemi, salah salah satu metode yang dapat digunakan untuk melaksanakan promosi kesehatan sekaligus penyuluhan/edukasi tentang berbagai topik kesehatan yang dapat diakses oleh masyarakat luas adalah dengan menggunakan media sosial.
Mechanistic-empirical Design of Perpetual Road Pavement Using Strain-based Design Approach
Authors: Sahis Manoj Kumar , Biswas Partha Pratim , Sadhukhan Sanjib , Saha Geetam
Published: July 2023

Present paper deals with the development of a Mechanistic-Empirical model of the strain-based design of perpetual road pavement using Odemark's principle. The bituminous pavement which can withstand minimum design traffic of 300 msa has been classified as perpetual pavement in this paper. The pavement has been considered as a three-layered system with a top layer of bituminous mix followed by unbound granular materials which rest on soil subgrade. The constituent bituminous layer thickness in the pavement has been determined by limiting the radial tensile strain at the bottom of the bituminous layer against fatigue and the vertical compressive strain at the top of the subgrade against rutting. The allowable strain against rutting and fatigue has been used in the present analysis from mechanistic-empirical correlations recommended in IRC:37-2018. The pavement section has been transformed into a homogeneous system by Odemark's method for application of Boussinesq's theory. To validate the thickness of the perpetual pavement, the strain at different layer interfaces in the pavement was compared using IITPAVE software, which shows the pavement section using present method is safe against rutting but marginally fails under fatigue. Moreover, conventional pavement thickness obtained using IRC:37-2018 were compared with the present method, which shows reasonably good convergence. It has been found that the bituminous layer thickness in a layered system of pavement seems to be more sensitive to fatigue than rutting. In this backdrop, modified fatigue and rutting strain values have been recommended for the design of perpetual road pavement.

Prevalence of stress and anxiety in people with some Level of Spiritist Engagement (LSE) before and during the pandemic. A cross-sectional study with 848 people with LSE in Ceará/Brazil. Findings were significant on the severe stress and anxiety of young adults (15,0% and 15,9%, respectively), in marital crisis (17,1% and 15,9%), who were affected very/completely by social confinement (14,8% and 16,7%), who suffered violence (15,5% and 16,9%), who self-inflicted violence (29,4% and 35,3%), whose self-perception of the emotional health was bad/awful (35,7% and 33,9%), and that used 3 or more psychiatric drugs a day before (22,9% and 28,6%) and during the pandemic (31,6% for stress and anxiety). Severe stress and anxiety were more associated to low and very low LES before and during COVID-19. Spiritism reinforces itself as a religion of psychological quest and a higher LES seems to be connected to less severe anxiety and stress levels.

Introdução: O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) é uma condição definida pelos níveis elevados de glicemia sanguínea, sendo uma enfermidade muito prevalente hodiernamente. Dentre suas inúmeras interações fisiopatológicas, as complicações musculoesqueléticas despontam como um grande percentual das queixas ambulatoriais, sobretudo, àquelas que se manifestam nas mãos, pelo fato de comprometer a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os aspectos clínicos, epidemiológicos e fisiopatológicos das complicações musculoesqueléticas das mãos nos pacientes com DM, alicerçando a construção do conhecimento com base em relatos de casos e artigos já publicados. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura acerca dos distúrbios musculoesqueléticos concomitantes a diabetes mellitus. Utilizou-se a estratégia PICO para a elaboração da pergunta norteadora. Ademais, realizou-se o cruzamento dos descritores “Doenças Musculoesqueléticas”; “Diabetes Mellitus”; “Complicações”, nas bases de dados National Library of Medicine (PubMed MEDLINE), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO), Ebscohost, Google Scholar e Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS). Resultados e Discussão: O DM é uma causa bem caracterizada para o desenvolvimento de doenças musculoesqueléticas, tais como a quiroatropatia, a contratura de Dupuytren, o dedo em gatilho e outras, ressaltando a necessidade de se estabelecer uma terapêutica adequada para evitar a progressão dessas e outras complicações. Conclusão: As condições descritas impactam diretamente a vida dos pacientes, gerando limitação nas atividades de vida diárias e comprometendo a qualidade de vida. Essas condições carecem de uma busca ativa, visando identificá-las precocemente, além de servir como um parâmetro para a avaliação da terapêutica estabelecida para o DM.
