Design, In Silico Molecular Docking, and ADMET Prediction of Amide
Derivatives of Chalcone Nucleus as EGFR Inhibitors for the Treatment of
Cancer
Authors: Patil Shital , Randive Vrushali , Mahadik Indrani , Asgaonkar Kalyani
Published: November 2023

Background:

Cancer is a devastating disease. Many studies have shown that the primary
causes of the aggressive and resistant types of cancer are the overexpression of receptors and growth
factors, activation of oncogenes, and the inactivation of tumour suppressor genes. One such receptor
is the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), which is used as a drug target for the treatment of
cancer.

Objective:

This study aimed to develop the new chemical entities of amide derivatives of chalcone
as EGFR inhibitors using structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, molecular docking, and ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) studies

Method:

New chemical entities (NCE) were designed based on literature findings. The Schrodinger
13.4 software was used for the molecular docking study. While Quickprop and Pro Tox-II online
tools were used for ADME and toxicity prediction, respectively.

Result:

In this work, all compounds were subjected to an in-silico ADMET analysis. After pharmacokinetic and toxicity profile predictions, the molecules were further analysed by molecular docking.
As a result of molecular docking, molecules AC9 and AC19 showed comparable docking scores
compared to standard Afatinib.

Conclusion:

Molecules AC9 and AC19 showed good docking scores and a promising ADMET profile. In the future, these derivatives can be further evaluated for wet lab studies and determination of
their biological activity.
Cellular Transdifferentiation: A Crucial Mechanism of Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis
Authors: Jimenez Sergio A. , Piera-Velazquez Sonsoles
Published: November 2023

Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a systemic autoimmune disease of unknown etiology with a highly complex pathogenesis that despite extensive investigation is not completely understood. The clinical and pathologic manifestations of the disease result from three distinct processes: 1) Severe and frequently progressive tissue fibrosis causing exaggerated and deleterious accumulation of interstitial collagens and other extracellular matrix molecules in the skin and various internal organs; 2) extensive fibroproliferative vascular lesions affecting small arteries and arterioles causing tissue ischemic alterations; and 3) cellular and humoral immunity abnormalities with the production of numerous autoantibodies, some with very high specificity for SSc. The fibrotic process in SSc is one of the main causes of disability and high mortality of the disease. Owing to its essentially universal presence and the severity of its clinical effects, the mechanisms involved in the development and progression of tissue fibrosis have been extensively investigated, however, despite intensive investigation, the precise molecular mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Several recent studies have suggested that cellular transdifferentiation resulting in the phenotypic conversion of various cell types into activated myofibroblasts may be one important mechanism. Here, we review the potential role that cellular transdifferentiation may play in the development of severe and often progressive tissue fibrosis in SSc.

Authors: Almalki Abdullah
Published: November 2023

Aims:

This study aimed to perform a literature review on the effect of pharmacological methods in accelerated orthodontics and the evidence of published studies.

Materials and Methods:

A search of the reported literature till December, 2020, was conducted using “PubMed,” “Google Scholar,” and “manual search.” The MesH terms and keywords in the search criteria were “tooth movement,” “orthodontics,” “pharmacological,” and “drugs” in various combinations. The search was confined to the English language. Data extraction was done under the heading authors, country and year, study design (level of evidence), study type, and pharmacological agents. The level of evidence of included studies was in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council.

Results:

Five hundred forty-seven studies were retrieved from different databases, and 12 were included in this review. Out of 12 included studies, 10 were animal studies, and two were human trials. Pharmacological agents utilized for intervention were prostaglandin, followed by relaxin, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone. The level of evidence in the human study was reported as level II, and for animal studies, level III; all the included studies recorded accelerated tooth movement. The risk of bias in the included animal studies was unclear, and the risk was low and moderate for human studies.

Conclusion:

Prostaglandin, interleukins, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D are commonly used in published literature for accelerating tooth movement. Nonetheless, all these experimented drugs have few or other unsolicited adverse effects. Further studies with long-term follow-ups are recommended to support the utilization of pharmacological methods in accelerated orthodontic movements.
Globalisasi dan Tenaga Kerja: Internalisasi Norma Sertifikasi Tenaga Kerja Pariwisata di Indonesia
Authors:   Universitas Indonesia, Soeharto Dyah Nurnaningtyas
Published: November 2023

Tourism is one of ASEAN's economic leading sectors. In order to improve the quality and mobility of the tourism professional workforce, ASEAN countries established ASEAN-MRA TP as the regional standard form of certification. The implementation of the ASEAN-MRA TP encourages Indonesian workers to obtain certification as proof of competence. However, the Indonesian tourism professional workforce rate is low, compared to the total tourism workforce in general. The culture of personal networking that deeply rooted in the tourism workforce is hampering Indonesian effort in implementing the ASEAN-MRA TP certification norm. By using Cortell A.P and Davis J's theory of domestic salience, this study aims to analyze the government's efforts to internalize the ASEAN-MRA TP certification norms to the domestic level, with the challenges of existing domestic cultures. There are 4 strategic actions taken, domestic institution, domestic interest, rhetoric and socialization forces. Keywords : Certification, ASEAN MRA-TP, Indonesia tourism professional workers, The culture of personal networking
Repositioning Culture in International Relations: Confucianism as Geopolitical Instrument
Authors:   Brawijaya University, Amalia Ariffah Isna
Published: November 2023

Confucianism is a culture taken from the name of a thinker, namely Confucius, and is considered the basis of Confucian teachings. The primary view of Confucianism is to invite people to live an orderly, peaceful, and happy life replacing the rulers as one of the key factors in achieving country ideals. This study aims to identify and evaluate the chronology of Confucianism and its implications for China's geopolitical sustainability. The method used is qualitative with constructivist ideas to create a comprehensive thought allocation on the impact of Confucianism from the perspective of cultural superiority. The results obtained are that, over time, Confucianism has developed into a tool for the Chinese state to carry out geopolitical instruments to achieve geostrategy for expanding territorial boundaries. On the one hand, Confucianism can become a superior culture that places the people's fighting spirit. On the other hand, this flow can become a trigger for war when each region to be recruited for China's expansion has a culture and beliefs different from their own. Keywords: Confucianism, China, Geopolitics, Geostrategy

The trade liberalization of domestic salt sector in Indonesia indicated by tarriff reduction faced pros and contras. By using the concept of two-level games and governmental process, the authors found that there was a political upheaval of actors both from bureaucrats and interest groups adorning the political process in salt liberalization in Indonesia. Political upheaval occurred due to the tug of war between the pro and the cons. The pros, represented by Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Trade, importers and mafias supported imports of salt to meet domestic needs that cannot be fulfilled by domestic salt productions, both in quality and quantity. On the other hand, the cons represented by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries and salt farmers both from associations and from non-associations demanded salt import reduction to support the domestic salt production program and the sustainability of the domestic salt industries. KeyWords: Liberalization of Domestic Salt, Two Level Games, Governmental Process, PoliticalÂ Upheaval, Tug of War.

Analisis Sanksi Ekonomi Terhadap Rusia Atas Invasinya di Ukraina 2022
Authors:   Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, Zulfa Khisna Kamalia , Arisanto Puguh Toko ,   Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta, Mahadana Khansa Rulif ,   Universitas Teknologi Yogyakarta
Published: November 2023

Western countries as sender states have imposed economic sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine since February 2022. Sender states claimed that Russia had violated international law and human rights. The economic sanctions imposed on Russia ranged from freezing state and individual assets to terminating export-import activities to halt the invasion. With a qualitative method, this paper seeks to analyze the effectiveness of the economic sanctions imposed by sender states . The authors use the concept of economic sanction that some scholars argue that most of the economic sanctions are proven ineffective in changing behaviors of the target. In line with this postulate, the authors found that economic sanctions imposed by western countries and their allies on Russia are not effective. Until August 2022, economic sanctions imposed on Russia were unable to stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The authors argue that the ineffectiveness of the sanctions is influenced by at least three factors; dependence on Russian energy, Russia's resistance to economic sanctions and Putin's individual factors. Keywords: Economic Sanction, Russia Invasion, Sender, Target, Ineffective
Low-Frequency Oscillations for Nonlocal Neuronal Coupling in Shared Intentionality Before and After Birth: Toward the Origin of Perception
Authors: Val Danilov Igor
Published: November 2023

The theoretical study observes literature to understand whether or not low-frequency oscillations can simultaneously alter the excitability of neurons from peripheral nervous subsystems in different individuals to provide Shared Intentionality in recipients (e.g., fetuses and newborns) and what are the attributes of ecological context for Shared Intentionality. To grasp the perception of objects during environmental learning at the onset of cognition, a fetus needs exogenous factors that could stimulate her nervous system to choose the relevant sensory stimulus. Low-frequency brain oscillations can cause the nonlocal coupling of neurons in peripheral and central nervous subsystems that provide subliminal perception. An external low-frequency oscillator and the proximity of individuals can stimulate the coordination of their heart rates and modulate neuronal excitability. External low-frequency oscillations can increase the cognitive performance of the subjects. The characteristics of this pulsed low-frequency field are oscillations with 400 and 700 nm wavelengths alternately with the pulsed frequency ranging from 1 to 1.6 Hz. This theoretical work contributes to knowledge about nonlocal neuronal coupling in different organisms that can appear due to low-frequency oscillations. The significance of the article is that it explains the neurophysiological processes occurring during Shared Intentionality - one of the central issues in understanding the cognitive development of young children, as the conventional view in cognitive sciences argues. The article's impact is a proposal of the universal mechanism of nonlocal neuronal coupling in shaping the embryonal nervous system in animals of all species, which opens new directions for research on the origin of perception of objects.

Authors: Nurhopipah Ade , Suhaman Jali , Widianto Anan
Published: November 2023

In the last decade, there have been significant developments in Image Caption Generation research to translate images into English descriptions. This task has also been conducted to produce texts in non-English, including Bahasa. However, the references in this study are still limited, so exploration opportunities are open widely. This paper presents comparative research by examining several state-of-the-art Deep Learning algorithms to extract images and generate their descriptions in Bahasa. We extracted images using three pre-trained models, namely InceptionV3, Xception, and EfficientNetV2S. In the language model, we examined four architectures: LSTM, GRU, Bidirectional LSTM, and Bidirectional GRU. The database used was Flickr8k which was translated into Bahasa. Model evaluation was conducted using BLEU and Meteor. The performance results based on the pre-trained model showed that EfficientNetV3S significantly gave the highest score among other models. On the other hand, in the language model, there was only a slight difference in model performance. However, in general, the Bidirectional GRU scored higher. We also found that step size in training affected overfitting. Larger step sizes tended to provide better generalizations. The best model was generated using EfficientNetV3S and Bidirectional GRU with step size=4096, which resulted in an average score of BLEU-1=0,5828 and Meteor=0,4520.

Published: November 2023

Lack of information related to maternal health care during pregnancy and post-pregnancy, especially in rural areas, results in many cases of pregnancy complications. Risk analysis for pregnant women is really needed as a reference in handling pregnant women so that the risk to pregnant women can be minimized. To analyze the risk of pregnant women can use data mining techniques by classifying the risk of pregnant women. This study proposes to classify Maternal Health Risk using the Naive Bayes method with three models, namely Gaussian, Multinomial, and Bournolli. The data used is the health data of pregnant women based on risk intensity which is grouped into three classes, namely low, mid and high risk. while the attributes are Age, Systolic Blood Pressure as SystolicBP, Diastolic BP as DiastolicBP, Blood Sugar as BS, Body Temperature as BodyTemp, and HeartRate. The results show that among the three Naïve Bayes models that have the best performance are the Multinomial and Bournolli with an accuracy of 84.8% while the Gaussian produces an accuracy of 82.6%.

Published: November 2023

Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer that afflicts women across all nations globally. One of the ways that can be done as a prevention to reduce elevated fatality due to breast cancer is with a detection system that can determine whether a cancer is benign or malignant. Logistic Regression and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification algorithms are often used to detect this disease, but the use of these two algorithms often doesn’t give optimal results when applied to datasets that have many features, so additional algorithm is needed to improve classification performance by using Backward Elimination feature selection. The comparison of Logistic Regression and SVM algorithms was carried out by applying feature selection to breast cancer data to see the best model. The breast cancer dataset has 30 features and two classes, Benign and Malignant. Backward Elimination has reduced features from 30 features to 13 features, thereby increasing the performance of both classification models. The best classification was obtained by using the Backward Elimination feature selection and linear kernel SVM with an increase in accuracy value from 96.14% to 97.02%, precision from 98.06% to 99.49%, recall from 90.48% to 92.38%, and the AUC from 0.95 to 0.96.

Published: November 2023

Copper loss can cause a decrease in performance in BLDC motors, so efforts will be made to reduce copper loss by using Litz wire. Additionally, there have been studies that simulate the performance of Litz wire, but they have not been directly applied, especially to propeller thrust. The objective of this research is to implement Litz wire in a BLDC motor and analyze its performance for an increase in propeller thrust per power. The BLDC motor is wound with single wire and Litz wire. The analysis conducted compares the resistance, copper loss, thrust force, and thrust-to-power ratio of the single wire and Litz wire with the same wire cross-sectional area. The BLDC motor is equipped with a propeller to measure the thrust force. The average resistance of the single wire is 0.43 Ohms, while the Litz wire is 0.38 Ohms. The copper loss of the Litz wire is 7% lower than a single wire. The Litz wire exhibits a 3% improvement in thrust force compared to the single wire in the testing. The thrust-to-power ratio of the Litz wire is also 3% better during the testing.

Drying Moringa leaves is needed to reduce the water content so that the Moringa leaves become fresh and can be used for the following process. Drying Moringa leaves to change the water content from 80% to 9.2% requires ideal heating conditions because the heating speed must not damage the nutritional content in the leaves. Developing an existing drying system using IoT to monitor humidity and temperature to increase the drought stability of the Moringa leaves produced. By using IoT, it is hoped that drying conditions can be watched from anywhere and recorded so that if undesirable things happen, it will be easier to track the history of the drying process that has taken place. This system is also connected to a recommendation system using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). This system will provide recommendations for the best conditions for Moringa flour production because various external factors influence the drying of Moringa leaves. Utilization of the ANN model can recognize data patterns in seasonal time series. The results of implementing the Moringa leaf drying machine can reduce the time by 120 minutes faster than the previous tool

Published: November 2023

Accomplishing a publication in English represents a challenge for scholars in Mexico (Hanauer and Englander 2011; Diaz-Sosa and González-Videgaray 2019, 39), where Spanish is the national language and academic writing mentors are scant. Like Bal (2002), this narrative explores the concept of Academic Writing Conventions (AWCs) in English as an additional language that traveled through interactions between a Mexican scholar and reviewers of research articles for publication. The narrative allowed the researchers to identify the AWCs concept based on the analysis of the narrated data gathered from the Mexican scholar, while trying to fulfill the AWCs in order to publish in English, and the comments provided to standardize academic writing in English for the international disciplinary community through the revision tool in Word by the reviewers. This main AWCs concept involved grammar, rhetorical structure, clarity, and style. In conclusion, AWCs are a differing concept traveling disciplinarily through the interaction of different stakeholders.
Natural Selection and the Nature of Statistical Explanations
Authors: Deulofeu Batllori Roger
Published: November 2023

There is a widespread philosophical interpretation of natural selection in evolutionary theory: natural selection, like mutation, migration, and drift are seen as forces that propel the evolution of populations. Natural selection is thus a population level causal process. This account has been challenged by the Statistics, claiming that natural selection is not a population level cause but rather a statistical feature of a population. This paper examines the nature of the aforementioned ontological debate and the nature of statistical explanations given by population genetics. I claim that the Modern Synthesis provides good explanations of the changes in trait structure of populations without appealing to detailed causal information about the individual trajectories of the members of a population.

Published: November 2023

In this study, the effects of smartphone usage time, and purpose of use on psychological variables-depressive anxiety, community consciousness, self-esteem, and academic self-efficacy-were analyzed in detail through multiple regression analysis. When looking at the effect of smartphone usage time, in the case of middle school and general high school, as the usage time increased, depressive anxiety showed a statistically significant increase. And in the case of academic self-efficacy, it showed a tendency to decrease as the usage time also increased. However, unlike middle school or general high school, the time spent in specialized high schools did not show a statistically significant effect on depressive anxiety or self-efficacy, but rather showed a different trend in which the sense of community increased statistically. Looking at the purpose of use, most of them tended to increase their academic self-efficacy when they were used for learning. Relational use (conversation with family/friends, chatting, etc.) was found to have a positive effect on the sense of community in middle and general high schools. In addition, the use of video viewing and visits to harmful sites was often associated with high depressive anxiety and low self-efficacy.

Authors:   The Korean Society for the Study of Local Education Management, Kim Se Yeong , Kim Do Ki
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to explore the conceptual model of performance management at the general teacher training university. In order to achieve the research purpose, K University, a comprehensive teacher training university, was used as the subject of the study, and literature related to K University's characteristics and performance management was analyzed. Through this, the characteristics of K University were identified and the concept of performance management of K University was derived based on the analysis of the performance management status of K University. The performance management of the university was defined as "a series of processes that induce university growth by analyzing and evaluating the overall behavior and process systematically established to achieve the intended results in education, research, training, university management (operation, finance, environment), regional contribution, and graduate school". Based on this, the higher dimension of the performance management model of the general teacher training university was proposed by devising the components of the performance management concept model as 'vision', 'mission', and 'view'.

Additive manufacturing is an enticing way of producing complex geometries and optimized parts for special applications. Even though the achievable static properties for the printed material are usually good when compared to wrought materials, in many cases dynamic properties are known to be much worse. Often, the quality is sacrificed in respect of printing speed. Furthermore, printed materials have usually anisotropic behavior, caused by the remelting and fast cooling of each deposited layer. This means that the mechanical properties need to be measured in several directions in respect of the printing direction for attaining a more holistic approach to the achieved static and dynamic behavior. As a demonstration, this study focuses on determining the properties of 316L stainless steel-manufactured with laser powder bed fusion. A comprehensive set of samples for various testing methods were manufactured to investigate the effect of the layer thickness and printing orientation on the microstructure, mechanical properties, impact strength, and fatigue life. Fatigue performance of the material was evaluated in both axial and flexural bending comparing as-built and polished surface conditions. Bending fatigue testing revealed that a fatigue limit of 100 MPa at best can be achieved with the as-built surface quality, but with a polished surface and lower layer thickness, it could be doubled. Impact toughness and mechanical strength of the material are heavily dependent on the layer thickness, and while the best results were obtained with the lower layer thickness, the printing orientation can have a detrimental effect on it.
