Authors: Biswas G. , Islam Md. S. , Rahman S. M. M. , Al Mamun S. M. A.
Published: July 2024

During beef processing, contamination by microorganisms from diverse sources poses a significant risk to its quality and safety. This contamination can lead to reduced shelf life, compromised meat quality, and increased health hazards. In recent years, electrolyzed water (EW) has emerged as a promising solution for sanitizing and cleaning beef. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physicochemical and sensory qualities of beef that had been treated with EW. In this experiment, there were three replications with a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). Factor-A: consisted of six (06) treatments concentrations: T0 = Control sample (fresh water); T1 = 10 ppm electrolyzed water; T2 = 20 ppm electrolyzed water; T3 = 30 ppm electrolyzed water; T4 = 40 ppm electrolyzed water; T5 = 50 ppm electrolyzed water; Factor-B: consisted of three (03) durations: TM1 = 5 minutes; TM2 = 10 minutes; TM3 = 15 minutes. The findings showed that the moisture content (%), crude protein (%), ether extract (%) and ash content (%) of beef samples ranged from 72.31 ± 0.29 to 73.93 ± 0.30, 19.95 ± 0.16 to 21.91 ± 0.19, 4.28 ± 0.09 to 5.06 ± 0.09, 1.29 ± 0.09 to 1.76 ± 0.07 respectively. Beef's proximate composition (moisture, crude protein, ether extract, dry matter, and ash) and physical analyses (cooking yield, cooking loss, and pH) were not significantly affected by the EW treatments (p > 0.05). However, drip loss and beef color showed substantial significant effects (p < 0.05). Findings suggest that EW treatments with concentration up to 50 ppm can effectively decontaminate beef while maintaining its nutritional and sensory properties.
Leakage assessment of water supply networks in a university based on WB-Easy Calc and night minimum flow: a case study in Xi'an
Authors: Zhang Bo , Zhang Jingtai , Xiong Jiaqing
Published: July 2024

Under carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals in China, many public institutions have started to decarbonise their energy consumption sectors, saving water and indirectly reducing energy consumption by controlling leaks in water supply networks. Universities receive more attention for their huge water consumption. The campus water supply system of a university in Xi'an was selected as the study object. Through real-time monitoring of the water consumption of the water supply network system, flow trends and leakage characteristics were analysed in conjunction with changes in water consumption, and WB-Easy Calc (water balance analysis software) proposed by the International Water Association was used to calibrate and evaluate the system for leakage. The results show that: with each building as a separate metering zone, the minimum night-time flow rate of the university occurs between 2:00 and 5:00 a.m., and the WB-Easy Calc analysis can obtain more accurate apparent leakage; therefore, the combination of the water balance method and the minimum night-time flow rate method can effectively assess the water use and leakage of the university, which is a good inspiration for assessing the water-saving potential of the university and formulating the corresponding water-saving measures.
How Useful are Antimicrobial Peptide Properties for Predicting Activity, Selectivity, and Potency?
Authors: Bertrand Brandt , Hernandez-Adame Pablo Luis , Munoz-Garay Carlos
Published: July 2024

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are recognized for their potential application as new
generation antibiotics, however, up to date, they have not been widely commercialized as expected.
Although current bioinformatics tools can predict antimicrobial activity based on only amino
acid sequences with astounding accuracy, peptide selectivity and potency are not foreseeable.
This, in turn, creates a bottleneck not only in the discovery and isolation of promising candidates
but, most importantly, in the design and development of novel synthetic peptides. In this paper,
we discuss the challenges faced when trying to predict peptide selectivity and potency, based on
peptide sequence, structure and relevant biophysical properties such as length, net charge and hydrophobicity.
Here, pore-forming alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides family isolated from anurans
was used as the case study. Our findings revealed no congruent relationship between the predicted
peptide properties and reported microbial assay data, such as minimum inhibitory concentrations
against microorganisms and hemolysis. In many instances, the peptides with the best physicochemical
properties performed poorly against microbial strains. In some cases, the predicted properties
were so similar that differences in activity amongst peptides of the same family could not be
projected. Our general conclusion is that antimicrobial peptides of interest must be carefully examined
since there is no universal strategy for accurately predicting their behavior.
Comprehensive Investigation of Natural Ligands as Inhibitors of β Secretase to Identify Alzheimer’s Disease Therapeutics
Authors: Kushwah Shikha , Mani Ashutosh
Published: July 2024

Introduction:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an alarmingly prevalent worldwide neurological
disorder that affects millions of people and has severe effects on cognitive functions. The amyloid
hypothesis, which links AD to Aβ (amyloid beta) plaque aggregation, is a well-acknowledged
theory. The β-secretase (BACE1) is the main cause of Aβ production, which makes it a possible
target for therapy. FDA-approved therapies for AD do exist, but none of them explicitly target
BACE1, and their effectiveness is constrained and accompanied by adverse effects.

Materials and Methods:

We determined the essential chemical components of medicinal herbs by
conducting a thorough literature research for BACE1. Computational methods like molecular
docking, ADMET (Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity) screening, molecular
dynamic simulations, and MMPBSA analysis were performed in order to identify the most promising
ligands for β-secretase.

Results:

The results suggested that withasomniferol, tinosporide, and curcumin had better binding
affinity with BACE1, suggesting their potential as therapeutic candidates against Alzheimer’s disease.

Conclusion:

Herbal therapeutics have immense applications in the treatment of chronic diseases
like Alzheimer’s disease, and there is an urgent need to assess their efficacy as therapeutics.
Angiographic, CT, and MRI Findings in Moyamoya Disease: A Case Report with an Updated Review of the Literature
Authors: Muñoz-Insignares Alejandro , Corona-Cedillo Roberto , Espinoza-Garcia Juan-Jose , Garcia-Lezama Melissa , Roldan-Valadez Ernesto
Published: July 2024

Background

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an occlusive cerebrovascular condition characterized by progressive stenosis of the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) and the development of an abnormal vascular network at the base of the brain. This disease predominantly affects individuals in East Asian countries, with an incidence rate ranging from 6.03 to 9.1 per 100,000 people.

Case Presentation

We report the case of a 41-year-old Hispanic woman who presented severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, and intermittent loss of alertness over a 15-day period. Upon admission, her vital signs were normal, and no focal neurological deficits were observed. Initial plain CT imaging revealed an interhemispheric subarachnoid hemorrhage with intraventricular involvement in the occipital recess and right atrium. Subsequent angiographic CT with 3D reconstructions exhibited the classic 'puff of smoke' appearance indicative of Moyamoya disease. Perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) demonstrated normal relative cerebral blood flow, blood volume, and mean transit time in both hemispheres. Based on these imaging findings, the patient was diagnosed with MMD. She underwent an indirect revascularization procedure known as encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis, which involved suturing branches of the superficial temporal artery to the dura.

Discussion

This case report underscores an atypical presentation of MMD in a Hispanic patient diagnosed by a combination of digital subtraction angiography (DSA), 3D CT angiography, and brain perfusion MRI. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing and diagnosing this rare condition in populations outside of East Asia. Furthermore, this report includes a review of the updated literature on MMD, providing valuable information on its diagnosis and management.

Conclusion

The clinical presentation and imaging findings, in this case, underscore the need for advanced diagnostic techniques, such as perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) and quantitative color-coded parametric DSA (QDSA), to improve diagnostic precision and treatment planning. The successful application of indirect revascularization through encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis demonstrates the efficacy of surgical interventions in the treatment of MMD. Addressing ethnic disparities in MMD is crucial to improving early diagnosis and patient outcomes. Future research should focus on refining treatment algorithms, investigating nonsurgical interventions, and examining cognitive and psychological outcomes to further improve patient care.

Paradigmas medievales del conocimiento: diversidad de perspectivas
Authors: Suárez-Nani Tiziana
Published: July 2024

Theories of cognition differ according to assumptions and parameters that medieval philosophers adopt in their specific approaches to the subject and to the object of knowledge. Their analysis of cognitive processes in subjects of distinct natures (the human being, the angel, God), and in relation to a wide range of objects of knowledge (i.a. material, immaterial, fictional or conceptual entities), gave rise to a large diversity of views and epistemological perspectives. This contribution focus on three main paradigms that feed the various and often antagonist medieval theories of cognition: the emprirism, the innatism and the intentionalism.
A composição da linguagem mental na evolução da noção de conceito em Guilherme de Ockham
Authors: Souza Laiza Rodrigues de
Published: July 2024

William of Ockham’s theory of mental language is understood in the secondary literature as the belief that our mental representations are structured as a language. The elements of mental language can be combined and form larger complexes, just as in ordinary language words can be combined with each other to form complex sentences. The dynamics of these elements of mental language are given through the formation and succession of cognitive acts. The fundamental units of mental language are the concepts that have linguistic and referential functions and, at the same time, are the very cognitive acts through which extramental object cognition occurs. In this paper we propose to investigate the elements that make up Ockham’s mental language considering the evolution of his notion of concept throughout his work. As is well known, initially concepts were conceived as fictum and taken as purely objective. In his mature theory, concepts were considered as the intellectual acts themselves. The main motivation for adopting the act theory over the ficta theory was one of ontological economy. Ockham believed that it was not necessary to postulate a third unit for an intellectual operation that could be performed with fewer elements. In turn, the concept as a mental act fulfills all the functions necessary to explain cognition without having to postulate an intermediary between the cognizer agent and the known object, a major objective of Ockham’s nominalist program. Therefore, our goal is to analyze how the elements of mental language are transformed to accommodate the transition from concept as fictum to concept as intellective act.
Rodrigo de Arriaga (1592–1667) and Bartolomeo Mastri (1602–1673)/Bonaventura Belluto (1600–1676) on Animal Perception of Negations
Authors: Heider Daniel
Published: July 2024

This study presents Rodrigo de Arriaga’s “exotic” theory of the animal perception of negations, such as shadows and holes, as presented in the De anima part of his Cursus philosophicus (first edition 1632). According to Arriaga, God supplies these creatures with sensible species representing these negative items. Against the background of what can be called the standard view on this subject, the paper shows how this theory was criticized by two foremost Italian Baroque Scotists, the Franciscans Bartolomeo Mastri and Bonaventura Belluto, in their In De anima (first edition 1643) of their Philosophiae ad mentem Scoti cursus integer.

Authors: Nugraha Adri Putra ,   Student of Doctoral Program in Accounting of Airlangga University, Indonesia, Soewarno Noorlailie ,   Accounting Department of Airlangga University, Indonesia
Published: July 2024

Management Control System is a tool for guiding and supervising corporate governance to ensure the achievement of organizational objectives and the effective and efficient performance of management. Industrial companies typically maintain material supplies to ensure their survival. Therefore, an appropriate control system is essential for better supervision of the raw material procurement process. This qualitative case study aims to analyze the implementation of management control in textile companies from the perspective of contingency theory. This theory posits that no single control system is universally applicable and suitable for all organizations in every situation. Most management controls implemented by companies generally align with Contingency Theory, though they have not been utilized to their full potential. Contingency theory helps companies identify the most accurate practices for corporate management control. The results showed that management control is significant for a company because the business world presents many challenges and problems from both the internal and the external environments. The results of this research enrich knowledge and thinking, expand references for further research, and provide information for researchers and company managers.

Published: July 2024

The service team targeted the Malang Regency Tourism and Culture Office as the organizer of activities in the tourism sector. The main task of the Department of Tourism and Culture is tourism promotion. Therefore, it is hoped that the ARCA application can be part of a tourism promotion strategy in Malang Regency. Candi Jago is chosen as the object of this application because on the main terrace of the temple there are Reliefs about fables that contain moral values for tourists. With the ARCA Application, tourists do not need to hesitate anymore to be able to visit Candi Jago because ARCA can help tourists to read the Reliefs found on the main terrace with 3-Dimensional AR (Augmented Reality) media in the form of animated videos. The methods used are the online lecture method, the online question and answer method, and the online demonstration method. The results of the evaluation of the outreach, the ARCA application is still limited and available on the Play Store and cannot be downloaded on the App Store, because during the application trial, there were participants who asked why on their smartphone they could not download the application. Meanwhile, another obstacle is that your smartphone does not support being able to download the ARCA application because it requires an upgrade to the latest version.

Authors: Destriana Saraswati  , Mohamad Anas  , Kurniawan
Published: July 2024

Indonesia is known as a country with a diversity of cultures, ethnicities, and religions. On one hand, this diversity can be seen as a potential. But on the other hand, religious and ethnic diversity can sometimes cause friction in society. Currently, digital technology such as social media plays a role in maintaining and spreading conflicts related to diversity. Therefore, an effort is needed to create educational content related to inter-religious tolerance. One of them is through the branding of the tolerance village which can provide real examples related to people's lives with religious diversity. Wirotaman Village, Ampelgading, Malang Regency, which is known to have a community with religious diversity, is an appropriate target. Through community service activities, a team from Universitas Brawijaya invites youth who are members of Karang Taruna to brand Wirotaman Village as a village of tolerance. The service is carried out through training on the use of sosial media as a means of branding and the preparation of educational content regarding religious tolerance. The method applied is a participatory approach and interactive learning through training. As a result, the youth of Wirotaman Village are educated about the potential of Wirotaman Village, as well as the importance of using sosial media as a means of branding and village progress. In addition, the youth of Wirotaman Village also gain knowledge in content creation and social media management which they can use as a means of education, especially with regard to tolerance in society.

Authors: Chanifah Nur , Rohmah Siti
Published: July 2024

The current development of information and communication technology has triggered a digital transformation that has changed the industrial order. If in the Industrial 4.0 era technology was only placed as a machine or tool to access information, then in the Social 5.0 era technology and its functions have been emphasized more as part of human life. Islamic boarding schools as educational institutions are currently also required to be able to accelerate and transform according to these developments. If previously the da'wah media was more conventional with a very limited reach, now it is hoped that santri can expand their da'wah by using digital media so that their contribution can reach all levels of society. This is an opportunity and a challenge for Islamic boarding schools in developing da'wah. This activity uses a personal approach by providing understanding to caregivers and administrators of the Tahfidz Al-Quran Islamic Boarding School Merjosari Lowokwaru Malang "Oemah al-Quran" about the importance of digital da'wah for students as a provision when students have graduated from the Islamic boarding school. For this reason, the UPT PKM Universitas Brawijaya community service team provided a solution by holding digital da'wah training by inviting competent resource persons in their fields.
In this community service activity, the Community Service Team collaborates with preachers as well as content creators who are experts in the field of virtual preaching. Some of the digital platforms that are in digital da'wah training are Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. From the results of the training, some students already understand how to make da'wah material that is interesting and can be delivered in the virtual world. From the results of the evaluation carried out by the community service team, it was found that the majority of students had good enthusiasm for the material presented because awareness grew both when the material was delivered, or during the socialization process.

Published: July 2024

This community service program in Ngroto Village, Pujon District, Malang Regency aims to increase community understanding and skills in formulating rules for participating villages. This activity was launched to follow up on the results of a previous study on the obstacles to village code formation. In principle, the formation of a village order in Ngroto Village follows the path specified in Permendagri No. 111 of 2014 from the Technical Guidelines for the Village Law, however, sometimes the process of forming the village order encounters obstacles. The obstacles that arise are: (1) the identification of opportunities and problems as outlined in the draft village regulations is not precise, detailed and complete; (2) lack of direct participation from some communities in drafting village regulations; (3) the process of drafting village regulations took longer during the Covid-19 pandemic; (4) lack of socialization and knowledge of village officials' projects; and (5) the lack of dissemination of village regulations which were transferred to the RT/RW level. This non-profit activity is carried out through advocacy and facilitation methods. Finally, an ideal village can be created through optimal community participation in the village development process, where the village government leadership responds to the wishes and aspirations of the village community.

Published: July 2024

Social media is the main source of information and advice for millennials. Social media interactions and the massive development of digital technology have proven to be black holes, but at the same time offer opportunities to make things easier for society. One of the negative impacts of using social media is the fading of tolerance values ​​because SARA content has penetrated and flooded our social media. It is in this context that UPT PKM carries out community service through Digital Literacy Training, where one of the pillars is a digital culture that focuses on knowledge of tolerance values ​​as the basis for digital skills in the life of a diverse society. Digital Literacy Training was held at SMK PGRI 3 Tlogomas, Malang. This event lasts for 2 days, namely on 2 and 3 August 2022. This activity is intended for students who are in the early semester intending to increase their skills and digital intelligence in social media based on tolerance values.
There are several things that we do in the community service event, namely strengthening the understanding of tolerance values ​​based on Nusantara culture (Pancasila values) through lecture and discussion methods. Then the students were also invited to understand the digital culture, and then they were persuaded to color social media with content that contained tolerance. The results of community service for two consecutive days can at least increase students' understanding and awareness of the importance of tolerance values ​​in the real world and the virtual world.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengoptimalkan potensi suku Bajo desa Torosiaje sebagai desa wisata toleransi yang berbasis pada kearifan lokal. Suku tersebut dikenal juga dengan sebutan suku pelaut, karena mereka tinggal di atas laut. Penduduknya tidak hanya berasal dari suku Bajo, namun juga suku-suku yang ada di Indonesia. Menariknya, mereka hidup rukun tanpa memperhatikan latar belakang suku. Selama ini, suku Bajo hanya popular dengan wisata laut, padahal sisi kehidupan mereka dapat menjadi pembelajaran “toleransi” bagi wisatawan. Dalam konteks inilah maka pengabdian ini dilakukan. Pendekatannya menggunakan pendekatan personal melalui wawancara, dialog dan observasi. Metode yang digunakan adalah dengan sosialisasi. Berdasarkan analisis SWOT, dapat dirumuskan beberapa strategi pengembangan potensi desa wisata pendidikan toleransi suku Bajo desa Torosiaje, yaitu: (1) Bekerjasama dengan dinas pariwisata setempat, karena kurangnya SDM masyarakat desa Torosiaje yang memahami dan mengerti tentang pengembangan pariwisata. (2) Membranding desa wisata pendidikan toleransi desa Torosiaje melalui media sosial. (3) Pemerintah mendukung dengan memberikan kemudahan transportasi menuju ke desa Torosiaje (4) Mempromosikan kearifan lokal desa Torosiaje melalui perayaan atau ritual yang diselenggarakan oleh penduduk setempat.

Gunung Agung Village faces challenges in managing human resources, especially regarding knowledge and skills in digital production and marketing. The people in Gunung Agung Village still do not make maximum use of existing commodities, especially cassava. This ignorance can be seen from the fact that many residents still directly sell their cassava harvests to factories. The cassava commodity can actually be used to make various processed products. However, there is a lack of knowledge in the community, especially in Gunung Agung Village, in utilizing cassava commodities, so that cassava commodities are only harvested and then sold to factories. Through one of the Real Work Lecture activities, an approach was made to the community by making a presentation regarding the production of Dried Cassava Noodles with digital marketing strategies. The results of this activity show an increase in knowledge and skills of human resources in Gunung Agung Village in the production of processed cassava products, as well as marketing via digital platforms. This activity also has the potential to improve people's standard of living and strengthen the competitiveness of local processed products.

Authors: Oktaviani Siska Aprilia
Published: July 2024

This research explores the educational potential of Doraemon Story of Seasons, a game that blends the charm of the Doraemon series with engaging farming simulation mechanics. The study adopts an ethnographic approach, focusing on participant observation to analyze how the game implicitly teaches fundamental accounting principles. The purpose of this research is to investigate the game’s capacity to transform traditional gameplay into an interactive learning environment. Through managing resources, making financial decisions, and engaging in-game economic activities, players interact with core concepts of accounting, such as budgeting investment, and financial tracking. Findings indicate that Doraemon Story of Seasons effectively integrates educational content within its gameplay, providing players with practical experience in financial management and decision-making. The novelty of the study lies in its demonstration of how seemingly conventional video games can serve as an innovative educational tool. This research underscores the transformative potential of game-based learning, suggesting that video games like Doraemon Story of Seasons can be potent platforms for delivering educational content, thus redefining the landscape of learning methodologies. The study opens avenues for further exploration into the use of video games as a viable and effective medium for education.

Effective learning is crucial for helping young people gain knowledge, skills, and overall development. This study aims to identify key factors necessary for effective learning in rehabilitation schools for juveniles. A constructivist grounded theory (CGT) approach was employed to gain a deeper understanding. Fifteen teachers, three administrators, and five education experts participated in the study using purposive sampling. Data was collected via in-depth interviews with these participants. The thematic analysis revealed four main themes essential for effective learning among juveniles: teachers (qualifications, teaching methods, and attitudes), juveniles (emotions and interest in learning), rehabilitation schools (administrator support and learning facilities), and community (support from families and assistance from governmental and non-governmental organizations). This research highlights the elements that all stakeholders need to address to ensure effective learning for juveniles, aligning with their growth needs. Unlike previous studies, this paper focuses on the essential components of effective juvenile learning in the Malaysian context, aiming to fill this research gap.

The Bregana River is the 16.5 km long main right tributary of the Sava River on the border of Croatia and Slovenia. There are two hydrological stations on the Bregana River and one more on its main tributary, the Breganica River. The Bregana River drainage basin is mostly hilly and mountainous, sparsely populated, wooded, and humid, with a relatively developed stream network. The annual discharge change and the characteristics of the discharge regimes were analysed on the three hydrological stations between 1981 and 2020. No trend was recognised in mean annual discharges, but all three stations recorded a slight increase in annual minima discharges and a more pronounced increase in annual maxima discharges in the last twenty-year period (2001–2020) compared to the previous twenty-year period (1981–2000). Moreover, in the last twenty-year period, some changes occurred in the discharge regime in the research area. For all three stations in the Bregana catchment an increase in the share of annual discharge was recorded in February and March and a decrease in the share of annual discharge in December and January. Bregana River stations recorded a decreased share of annual discharge from May to July (especially in June). At all three stations, in the last twenty-year period compared to the previous twenty period, the primary maximum in March is a bit more pronounced, and the secondary maximum in December (November at Koretići station) is less pronounced. Also, for all three stations in the last twenty-year period, the primary minimum shifted from August to July and the secondary minimum shifted from February to January.

Los biopolímeros tienen un gran potencial en el campo del cuidado y la cicatrización de heridas. El almidón, como biopolímero abundante en la naturaleza, puede ser utilizado para reparar tejidos y mejorar su función natural, siempre y cuando cumpla con ciertas características específicas que se logran mediante la modificación de las propiedades fisicoquímicas del biomaterial. Por lo anterior, en este artículo se realiza una revisión sistemática del uso de biomateriales a base de almidón en el desarrollo de apósitos. Siguiendo las directrices de la metodología Prisma, se buscaron y analizaron artículos originales de los últimos siete años, donde se estudió la elaboración de biomateriales a base de almidón y su uso en la cicatrización de heridas. La selección de estos artículos incluyó criterios de inclusión y exclusión que permitieron elegir 57 estudios para cumplir con el objetivo de la revisión. Así, se describe detalladamente el tipo de apósito creado, las técnicas utilizadas para su obtención, los principales polímeros y aditivos empleados, así como los métodos de evaluación del biomaterial. Las técnicas de fabricación influyeron directamente en el tipo de apósito obtenido y las ventajas funcionales que adquirieron, donde sus modificaciones fisicoquímicas resultaron relevantes para que el biomaterial tuviera la capacidad de funcionar adecuadamente como apósito; además, los apósitos compuestos por diversos materiales y aditivos tienen mejor comportamiento mecánico que los elaborados a partir de un solo material. Se debe tener en cuenta que los métodos de caracterización permiten una evaluación precisa de los biomateriales, asegurando que estos proporcionen los beneficios esperados en la curación y el cuidado de heridas.
