ABSTRACT

Beauty standards are predominantly associated with the physical appearance of certain groups that are depicted unrealistically. It becomes problematic because value of beauty for each culture and people's opinions are so diverse. Responding to the issue, Charisma wrote the song King to respond with her perspective. This study discusses the representation of mainstream beauty standards rejection in the song King by Charisma. The purpose of this study is to explain the aspects represented in the song about the rejection of mainstream beauty standards. Primary data consists of parts of the song, namely lyrics and music. While secondary data obtained from scientific articles for analysis purposes. This research is a descriptive qualitative type with analysis based on Saussure's semiotic method. The data is mapped into a signifier consisting of lyrics, melodic elements, and rhythmic elements. The next mapping is the signified which is the interpretation of the signifier aspect. This study findings consist of three things, the song King represents criticism and rejection of beauty standards, the intention of rejecting beauty standards, and the reality of beauty standards.

Comparing the Concept of Halal Tourism in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia
Authors: Mawardi Imam
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to illustrate the development and thoughts of halal tourism in several Southeast Asian countries. The study was conducted using library research to examine previous references, such as books, media journals, and websites. Results show that the globalization of the tourism industry has developed due to the rising demand from Muslim tourists which led to the birth of halal tourism. This condition is most prominent in the countries with large Muslim population. However, tourism is much in demand and practised in both Muslim majority and Muslim minority countries. Halal tourism trends provide many benefits for economic growth through consumers who are mostly Muslim. In Indonesia, Ulama Council as a supporter of halal tourism has no formal legality or legal certainty, unlike JAKIM in Malaysia. Nevertheless, the concept of halal tourism itself is still different in each country. In conclusion, the concept of halal tourism do not merely emphasise religious values, but also on the economic sector.

Authors: Hadinata Fristian
Published: November 2023

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gagasan Merdeka Belajar secara filosofis, tidak hanya berfokus pada mengatasi persoalan-persoalan secara teknis dalam implementasi kebijakan tersebut. Hal ini perlu dilakukan supaya tidak melulu terjebak dalam tafsiran keuntungan instrumental dari pendidikan, tetapi juga untuk mewujudkan cita-cita bersama dalam Pembukaan UUD 1945 dalam masyarakat demokratis. Metode penelitian dilakukan dengan metode refleksi kritis dan fenomenologi. Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan, tafsiran baru atas Merdeka Belajar bisa dilakukan dengan memperluas gagasan itu sebagai upaya pembentukan individu agar mampu merefleksikan kehidupannya sendiri dan menjadi warga negara yang mampu menjalankan fungsi-fungsinya di tengah keberagaman dalam masyarakat demokratis. Oleh karena itu, Merdeka Belajar perlu dilengkapi dengan konsep pendidikan demokratis yang berhubungan dengan reproduksi sosial secara sadar seperti yang dikemukakan oleh Amy Gutmann, di mana di dalamnya terkandung pembagian otoritas dan dua prinsip pembatasan, yaitu prinsip non-represi dan prinsip non-diskriminasi dalam pendidikan.
Agency Narrative of the Dangdut Koplo Singer on Stage
Authors: Endah Siswati  , Rachmah Ida  , Mustain
Published: November 2023

This study started from the skepticism of the thought which states that work as female entertainers (dangdut koplo singers) puts women as objects and victims. Based on the thoughts of Sarah Drew Lucas about narrative agency which believes that every woman has the capacity   as an autonomous agent, the researcher wants to explore another possibility that dangdut koplo singers are active subjects or autonomous agents by revealing the narrative of their lives on stage. The focus of this research is on how the female dangdut koplo singer does her job, how she builds and plays her existence on the performance stage, how oppression (subordination, marginalization, objectification, stigmatization) is faced, and how she negotiates to overcome oppression that threatens her capacity as autonomous agent. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews with a research subject and participant observations on the stage of dangdut koplo in East Java from late 2017 to late 2019. This research found that the research subject is a narrative agent who has the capacity to understand herself as "I" among other "I". The research subject is able to read and understand the plurality of life on the stage, and with that awareness and understanding perform actions in her own way which shows her identity. In conclusion, these findings confirm Sarah Drew Lucas's thought that being an agent is a necessity for women, no matter how oppressed or how tied they are to subordinate power relations.

Published: November 2023

Enzymatic alcohol oxidation (EAO) is highly attractive thanks to its efficiency, selectivity, and sustainability benefits, but it is often neglected as a catalytic tool for practical production due to the instability and non-reusability of enzymes. Herein, a non-enantioselective alcohol dehydrogenase engineered from Candida parapsilosis (Cps ADH) and a laccase from Trametes versicolor was immobilized on mesoporous silica nanoflowers (MSNs), fabricating Cps ADH@MSNs (41 U/gsupport) and laccase@MSNs (67 U/gsupport) for EAO, respectively. The structural and functional properties of the MSNs endowed the immobilized enzymes with higher stability than free enzymes, and the relative activity of the immobilized enzyme was 52% and 63%, respectively, after being reused five times. The immobilized enzymes exhibited high activity, selectivity, and complementary substrate specificity in alcohol oxidation. The optimized EAO, as a versatile cascade module, was coupled with several other enzymatic transformations for multi-enzymatic synthesis of high value-added chemicals. The chiral alcohols and amines were produced with 99% ee and 84% to 98% ee, respectively, and (R )-benzoin and 2-furoic acid were prepared with 91% yield, 99% ee and 86% yield, respectively, demonstrating the synthetic utility of the immobilized enzymes.

Authors: Ritschl Lucas , Schilling Pia , Wittmer Annette , Serr Annerose , Schmal Hagen , Seidenstuecker Michael
Published: November 2023

Background: Antibiotic-containing carrier systems are one option that offers the advantage of releasing active ingredients over a longer period of time. In vitro sustained drug release from a carrier system consisting of microporous β-TCP ceramic and alginate has been reported in previous works. Alginate dialdehyde (ADA) gelatin gel showed both better mechanical properties when loaded into a β-TCP ceramic and higher biodegradability than pure alginate. Methods: Dual release of daptomycin and BMP-2 was measured on days 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, 21, and 28 by HPLC and ELISA. After release, the microbial efficacy of the daptomycin was verified and the biocompatibility of the composite was tested in cell culture. Results: Daptomycin and the model compound FITC protein A (n=30) were released from the composite over 28 days. A Daptomycin release above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by day 9 and a burst release of 71.7 ± 5.9 % were observed in the loaded ceramics. Low concentrations of BMP-2 were released from the loaded ceramics over 28 days.
Clustering of Floating Tracer in the Random Velocity Field Modulated by an Ellipsoidal Vortex Flow
Authors: Koshel Konstantin , Stepanov Dmitry , Kuznetsova Nata , Ryzhov Evgeny
Published: November 2023

The influence of a background vortex flow on clustering of floating tracer is addressed. The vortex flow considered is induced by an ellipsoidal vortex evolving in a deformation. The system exhibits various vortex motion regimes: (i) steady state, (ii) oscillation and (iii) rotation of the ellipsoidal vortex core. The latter two induce unsteady velocity field for the tracer thus leading to irregular (chaotic) tracer motion. Superimposing a stochastic divergent velocity field onto the deterministic vortex flow allows us to observe significantly different tracer evolution. We use the method of characteristics to integrate the floating tracer density evolution equation and the Euler-Ito scheme for obtaining the floating tracer trajectories with the random velocity field. The cluster area and cluster mass from the statistical topography were used as the quantitative diagnostics of floating-tracer’s clustering. For the case of the steady ellipsoidal vortex embedded into the deformation flow with a random velocity field component we found that clustering characteristics are weakened by the steady vortex. For the cases of an unsteady ellipsoidal vortex, we observed clustering in the floating-tracer density field if the contribution of the divergent component is higher or equal to that of the rotational (nondivergent) component. Even when the initial floating tracer patch was set on the boundary of oscillating ellipsoidal vortex, we observed formation of clusters. In the case of a rotating ellipsoidal vortex, we also observed pronounced clustering. Thus, we argue that unsteady ellipsoidal vortex regimes (oscillation and rotation), which induce chaotic motion of the nearby passive tracer’s trajectories, are still conducive to clustering of floating tracer observed in the density field despite the intense deformation introduced by strain and shear.
Phytoremediation of Diesel-Contaminated Farming Soils: A Gc-Ms-Based Protocol to Distinguish Biogenic Hydrocarbons from Diesel-Derived Compounds in Plant Tissues

Published: November 2023

Diesel contamination of farming soils is of great concern because hydrocarbons are toxic to all forms of life and can potentially enter the food web through crops or plants used for remediation. Data on plant ability to uptake, translocate and accumulate diesel-derived compounds are controversial not only due to the probable diverse attitude of plant species but also because of the lack of a reliable method to distinguish petrogenic from biogenic compounds in plant tissues. The purpose of this study was to set up a GC-MS-based protocol enabling the determination of diesel-derived hydrocarbons in plants grown in contaminated soil for assessing human and ecological risks, predicting phytoremediation effectiveness and biomass disposal. To this aim two plant species Vicia sativa L. and Secale cereale L., belonging to two diverse vascular plant families, were used as plant models. They were grown in soil spiked with increasing concentrations of diesel fuel and the produced biomass was used to set up the hydrocarbon extraction and GC-MSD analysis. The developed protocol was also applied to the analysis of Typha latifolia L. plants, belonging to a different botanical family and grown in a long-time and highly contaminated natural soil. Results showed the possibility of distinguishing diesel-derived compounds from biogenic hydrocarbons in most terrestrial vascular plants, just considering the total diesel compounds in the n-alkanes carbon range C10-C26, where the interference of biogenic compounds is negligible. Diesel hydrocarbons quantification in plant tissues was strongly correlated (0.92<r2<0.99) to the concentration of diesel in spiked soils, suggesting a general ability of the considered plant species to adsorb and translocate relative low amounts of diesel hydrocarbons and the reliability of the developed protocol.

Published: November 2023

Recently, the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced the New Radio (NR) technology for Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication to enable delay-sensitive and bandwidth-hungry applications in vehicular communication. The NR system is strategically crafted to complement the existing Long Term Evolution (LTE) Cellular-Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) infrastructure, particularly to support advanced services such as the operation of automated vehicles. It is widely anticipated that the 5th generation (5G) NR system will surpass LTE C-V2X in terms of achieving superior performance in scenarios characterized by high throughput, low latency, and enhanced reliability, especially in the context of congested traffic conditions and a diverse range of vehicular applications. This article will provide a comprehensive literature review on vehicular communications from Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) to NR V2X. Subsequently, it delves into a detailed examination of the challenges and opportunities inherent in NR V2X technology. Finally, we proceed to elucidate the process of creating and analyzing an open-source 5G NR V2X module in network simulation-3 (ns-3) and then demonstrate the NR V2X performance in terms of different key performance indicators implemented through diverse operational scenarios.
New PLA-Hydrogel Core-Shell Scaffolds Highly Support MSCs Viability, Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation

Published: November 2023

Scaffolds for tissue engineering are expected to respond to a challenging combination of physical and mechanical requirements, guiding the research towards the development of novel hybrid materials. This study introduces innovative three-dimensional bioresorbable scaffolds, in which a stiff poly(lactic acid) lattice structure is meant to ensure temporary mechanical support, while a bioactive gelatin-chitosan hydrogel is incorporated to provide a better environment for cell adhesion and proliferation.
The scaffolds present a core-shell structure, in which the lattice core is realized by additive manufacturing, while the shell is nested throughout the core by grafting and crosslinking a hydrogel forming solution. After subsequent freeze-drying, the hydrogel network forms a highly interconnected porous structure that completely envelops the poly(lactic acid) core. Thanks to this strategy, it is easy to tailor the scaffold properties for a specific target application, by properly designing the lattice geometry and the core/shell ratio, which are found to significantly affect the scaffold mechanical performance and its bioresorption.
Compression stiffness and strength provided by poly(lactic acid) lattices are overall within the range of values displayed by human bone tissue and remain stable after prolonged immersion in water at body temperature for several weeks. On the other hand, the hydrogel undergoes gradual and homogeneous degradation over time, but the core-shell integrity and structural stability are nevertheless maintained during at least 7-week hydrolytic degradation tests. In vitro experiments with human mesenchymal stromal cells reveal that the core-shell scaffolds are biocompatible and their physical-mechanical properties and architecture are suitable to support cell growth and osteogenic differentiation, as demonstrated by hydroxyapatite formation. These results suggest that the bioresorbable core-shell scaffolds can be considered, and further studied, in view of clinically relevant endpoints in bone regenerative medicine.

Published: November 2023

Irrigation and fertilization are indispensable links in the jujube planting industry in southern Xinjiang, China. However, the water and fertilizer integration effects on jujube growth and fruit quality remain unclear. A two-year water and fertilizer optimization coupling test was conducted to determine the optimal water- and nutrient-supply scheme. The three-factor randomized block experiment included water (W), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). According to the principal component analysis of each index, each treatment’s comprehensive score was obtained. Using yield and economic regression models, the theoretical value and yield value of the optimal economic benefit are inferred. When W, N, and P were applied together, the fruit quality and yield of each treatment significantly differed, and the vitamin C, soluble sugar, and sugar–acid ratio increased significantly with an increase in nitrogen fertilizer. However, the titratable acid decreased. An increase in irrigation and nitrogen application significantly increased fruit yield. The comprehensive score was the highest in the N3P3W2 treatment, which improved fruit quality, and the lowest in the N4P3W2 treatment. When the amounts of N, P, and W were 275.56 kg·hm-2, 413.66 kg·hm-2, and 7278.19 m3·hm-2, respectively, the theoretical economic benefit was the best. The N4P3W2 treatment is the optimal treatment.

Effect of Iron (Fe) heavy metal content at different pH on the germination of seven soybean varieties in Indonesia
Authors: Timotiwu Paul Benyamin , Agustiansyah Agustiansyah , Muslimah Dini
Published: November 2023

Greater use of acid soil has expanded the area under cultivation for soybeans; however, acid soil is associated with heavy mineral toxicity, including Iron (Fe). This investigation looked at how well soybean seeds germinated in media containing heavy metal Fe and how the pH of the media affected the viability of soybean seeds. This research was conducted at the Seed and Plant Breeding Laboratory at the University of Lampung, Indonesia. The experimental design was a randomized block design. The first factor was seven soybean local varieties – Grobogan, Anjasmoro, Derap 1, Detap 1, Dena 1, Deja 1, and Dega 1 – and the second factor was heavy metal Fe solution pH of 6–7 and 4.5 and without heavy metal Fe (control). Seed viability in heavy metal Fe medium was assessed using radicle emergence, germination capacity or percentage, germination speed, number of normal seedlings, normal seedling hypocotyl length, main root length of regular seedlings, and normal shoot dry weight. This research found that heavy metal Fe affected soybeans’ seeds’ viability in pH 6–7 and 4.5. The observed data showed that all seeds’ viability variables in media with heavy metal Fe, both in pH 6–7 and in pH 4.5, differ from the control media. The seed viability in media heavy metal Fe pH 6–7 was not significantly different from the control media, but in pH 4.5, the difference is significant. Soybean varieties’ characteristics also influence how heavy metal Fe in different pH affects seed viability. Overall, Anjasmoro, Deja, Grobogan, and Dega were the types that consistently demonstrated resistance or adaptation to heavy metal Fe existence, while Dena, Derap, and Detap are susceptible to heavy metal Fe existence. Seed viability in Iron medium is not always related to seed physical performance; therefore, before planting soybean in acid soil, it is recommended to conduct a seed viability test.
