Authors: Wulandari Siska , Basuni Firdaus , Febriyanti Febriyanti
Published: September 2024

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen semu (Quasi Eksperimen) dan desain quasi experimental nonequivalent control group. Penelitian dilakukan pada peserta didik kelas IV A (eksperimen) dan IV B (kontrol) dengan jumlah masing-masing 31 peserta didik. Pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) diberikan dengan menggunakan media audio visual pada kelompok eksperimen, sementara kelompok kontrol menerima pembelajaran tanpa media tersebut. Data dikumpulkan melalui pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur pengaruh dari penggunaan media audio visual. Data yang telah terkumpul dilakukan analisis menggunakan teknik paired samples t-test dengan bantuan perangkat lunak SPSS untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh media audio visual. Sebelumnya, dilakukan uji normalitas dan homogenitas data. Selain itu, validitas instrumen diukur menggunakan validitas internal dengan rumus Product Moment dari Pearson. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, penggunaan media audio visual dalam pembelajaran pendidikan agama Islam di sekolah dasar (SD) memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap pencapaian hasil belajar peserta didik. Hal ini terlihat pada uji hipotesis menggunakan t test. Setelah semua pengujian dilakukan dapat diperoleh nilai posttest thitung sebesar 5,220, sedangkan ttabel 2,000. Dengan kata lain thitung > ttabel. Selain itu, analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kelompok eksperimen, yang menerima pembelajaran dengan media audio visual, memiliki rata-rata skor posttest yang lebih tinggi kelas eksperimen (85,32) dibandingkan dengan kelas kontrol (71,61). Meskipun tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan dalam hasil pretest dan posttest antara kedua kelompok, uji statistik menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan dalam hasil belajar antara keduanya. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan media audio visual dalam pembelajaran dapat meningkatkan kualitas proses belajar mengajar yang pada akhirnya mempengaruhi hasil belajar peserta didik.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Estimating the prevalence of second-hand tobacco smoke exposure is a public health priority while evaluating the population-attributable disease burden and impact of smoking bans. We conducted a systematic review to analyze how secondhand tobacco smoke exposure has been assessed, and how its prevalence has been estimated among the Portuguese population since the implementation of the partial smoking ban in 2008.Methods: A literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, MEDLINE and Embase databases until November 2022, applying a pre-designed search strategy and following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The search was not restricted by study period, study design, sample size or language, and was complemented by a manual literature search. A modified Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to assess the quality of the studies.Results: Thirteen cross-sectional studies were included. The prevalence of second-hand tobacco smoke exposure among the three European studies ranged from 8.2% (adult population exposed at home in 2010) to 93.3% (adolescent/adult population exposed in bar/restaurant terraces in 2016). Three nationwide studies estimated children’s exposure at home: ranging from 32.6% in 2010 - 2011 to 14.4% in 2016. According to the most recent studies, 49.8% of women living in Porto were exposed during the third trimester of pregnancy in 2010 - 2011; 32.6% and 38.4% of children were exposed at home, respectively in Lisbon and the Azores.Conclusion: A significant proportion of the Portuguese population, especially children and pregnant women, remain exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke. A comprehensive smoke-free policy is needed, not only in outdoor public places, but also in indoor private settings.

Authors: Widodo Sarah Fitriani
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis essay examines the impact of Deng Xiaoping’s “To Get Rich is Glorious” concept on China’s economic reforms and its subsequent influence especially in Indonesia. Originating in the late 1970s, this concept spurred economic growth, entrepreneurship, and international engagement in China. The analysis delves into the historical aspects and current economic connections between China and Indonesia. It unveils China’s substantial contribution to Indonesia’s progress in infrastructure, development, digitalization, and industrialization. While bilateral relations present opportunities, challenges such as Indonesia’s reliance on Chinese debt and diplomatic issues are acknowledged. Future outlooks underscore the importance of ongoing collaboration to foster Indonesia’s economic growth, all within the framework of its partnership with China. In essence, Deng’s concept has not just influenced China’s course, but has also left a lasting impact on Indonesia’s economic path. Keywords: Deng Xiaoping; Economic Reforms; To Get Rich is Glorious.
Quo Vadis RKUHP: Polemik Tindak Pidana Penghinaan Presiden, Lembaga Negara, dan Pemerintah dalam Perspektif Pidana, Konstitusi, dan Hak Asasi Manusia
Authors: Adi Sutiyoso  , Daffa Athaillah maulana  , Edmond Wangtri Putra
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The reform of criminal law in Indonesia through the Criminal Code Draft (RKUHP) is actually an urgent need, because the current Criminal Code (KUHP), which is a Dutch heritage, still contains elements of colonialism and is increasingly irrelevant. The RKUHP carries out five main missions, namely decolonization, democratization, harmonization, consolidation, and modernization. However, a number of articles in the RKUHP are contradictory to the five missions. A number of provisions in the RKUHP actually maintain the colonial articles. These articles fortify the president, vice president, legitimate government, and public powers or state institutions from insults and criticism. The existence of these articles certainly threatens the right to freedom of expression which is a constitutional right and human right. The reform of the criminal law is indeed urgent, but the reform, especially regarding the limitation of the right to freedom of expression, must be based on the constitution and human rights.
Keywords: Criminal Code Draft, Rights to Freedom of Expression, Constitution, Human Rights.
 
Abstrak
Pembaharuan hukum pidana di Indonesia melalui Rancangan Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (RKUHP) sejatinya memang kebutuhan yang mendesak, sebab Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana (KUHP) saat ini yang merupakan warisan Belanda, substansinya masih mengandung unsur kolonialisme dan kian tidak relevan. RKUHP mengusung lima misi utama, yaitu dekolonisasi, demokratisasi, harmonisasi, konsolidasi, dan modernisasi. Namun, hal sejumlah substansi pasal dalam RKUHP justru kontradiktif dengan lima misi tersebut. Sejumlah ketentuan dalam RKUHP justru mempertahankan pasal-pasal kolonial. Pasal-pasal tersebut membentengi presiden, wakil presiden, pemerintah yang sah, dan kekuasaan umum atau lembaga negara dari penghinaan serta kritik. Eksistensi pasal-pasal tersebut tentunya mengancam hak atas kebebasan berekspresi yang merupakan hak konstitusional dan hak asasi manusia (HAM). Pembaharuan hukum pidana memanglah mendesak, tetapi pembaharuan tersebut, khususnya terkait pembatasan hak atas kebebasan berekspresi, haruslah berlandaskan konstitusi dan HAM.
Kata Kunci: Rancangan Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Pidana, Hak atas Kebebasan Berekspresi, Konstitusi, Hak Asasi Manusia.

AbstractIn this era of development, the need for online transportation as one of the options to move to the destination certainly attracts the attention of several companies that provide online transportation services. In Indonesia itself, this online transportation competition was initiated by three companies. But in its development, GO-JEK and Grab remain as two big competitors in the world of online transportation, which gives rise to a duopoly market structure that makes it difficult for other companies that want to enter the world of online transportation services to get customers. This article uses conceptual and statutory research to examine the conditions of the duopoly market and the company's responsibilities if there are violations. It was found that in relation to the conditions of the duopoly market, per se illegal, and rule of reason approach is needed to determine whether the action is prohibited or not. Furthermore, when viewed from a vertical integration approach, of course the two companies are allowed with the aim of saving and efficiency. However, if it is done to control the operation of online transportation services, of course it is categorized as unfair business competition.Keyword: Vertical Integration; Duopoly Market; Online Transportation; Per Se Illegal; Rule of Reason.
AbstrakDengan adanya perkembangan jaman, tentu saja kebutuhan transportasi online sebagai salah satu pilihan untuk berpindah ke lokasi tujuan tentunya menarik perhatian beberapa perusahaan untuk menyajikan layanan transportasi Online. Di Indonesia sendiri, persaingan transportasi online ini diawali oleh tiga perusahaan. Dalam perkembangannya tersisa GO-JEK dan Grab sebagai dua pesaing berat di dunia transportasi online yang menimbulkan adanya struktur pasar duopoli sehingga timbul kesulitan perusahaan lain yang ingin terjun ke dalam dunia jasa transportasi online untuk mendapatkan pelanggan. Artikel ini menggunakan penelitian konseptual dan perundang-undangan untuk mengkaji kondisi pasar duopoli dan pertanggungjawabannya apabila terdapat pelanggaran. Ditemukan bahwa berkaitan dengan kondisi pasar duopoli, diperlukan adanya suatu pendekatan pendekatan per se illegal dan rule of reason untuk menentukan apakah tindakan tersebut dilarang atau tidak. Terlebih lanjut apabila dilihat dari pendekatan integrasi vertikal, tentunya kedua perusahaan tersebut diperbolehkan dengan tujuan untuk penghematan dan efisiensi. Akan tetapi, apabila dilakukan untuk menguasai operasi jasa transportasi online, tentunya dikategorikan sebagai persaingan usaha tidak sehat.

Published: September 2024

This study was carried out to assess the occurrence of endoparasites in (Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848)) from Tono reservoir, Navrongo Ghana. A total of 120 fish samples were collected from the upstream, midstream and downstream regions of the reservoir using cast nets. All the collected fish samples were transported to the research laboratory in the University for Development Studies and examined for ectoparasites during January 2022 to August 2022. Five ectoparasites namely Trichodina sp. of Protozoans ciliates, Dactyolgyrus sp. of Monogenean, Argulus sp. and Lernaea sp. of Crustaceans and the Diplostomum sp were identified.  Overall prevalence of the fish parasites was 52.32 %. Intensity of the parasites observed ranged between 1.58% to 3.52%. Highest prevalence 70 % was reported in dry season while lowest (31.67%) was reported in the rainy season. Female fish samples had higher prevalence (64.47 %) than males (27.27 %). Fishes of downstream had highest prevalence (92.5 %) than upstream (17.5 %). Fish samples with maximum length and weight were highly (65.15 %) infected than small sized fish with low body length and weight (33.33 %). It is debatable if the degree of ectoparasite activity found in this study will constitute a serious danger to the local fish population. Yet, in order to stop disease outbreaks brought on by an increase in ectoparasites, the reservoir must be given significant attention by using optimum management strategies. This study shows that dry season  affects the fish business and result in poor quality fish meat with risk of diseases infection.

The study utilized a mixed method research design, specifically interview guide and survey, to gain local understanding of needs and opportunities of 11 conservation practitioners, 65 Bulakenyos from different localities wherein the majority are from Malolos, and 55 college students from Bulacan State University in Malolos. The results of this research show that the Kamestisuhan District of Malolos should be protected as a heritage site to maintain its identity and culture because raising awareness of cultural heritage can also open opportunities for bigger tourism plans and livelihood for locals. Media such as TV, documentaries, social media, radio, journal publications, and film can be used to raise awareness about heritage conservation. Modern media can create a more solid foundation for building the image and popularity of the district. This study concluded that stakeholders of heritage conservation believe they can effectively raise awareness about the importance of heritage if they have sufficient knowledge and money to spread information, research and promotion, conduct seminars, and engage in information campaigns.

В статті досліджено вплив поверхневої морфології масиву кремнієвих нанониток (КНН) на їх вологочутливі характеристики. В роботі синтезовано сенсори вологості діодного типу на основі кремнієвих нанониток. КНН синтезовані методом метало-стимульованого хімічного травлення, а p–n-перехід сформовано в масиві КНН методом дифузії. Дослідження поверхневої морфології здійснювалось методом атомно-силової мікроскопії. Проведено вимірювання електричних та вологочутливих характеристик сенсорів вологості. Встановлено вплив середньоквадратичного значення (СКЗ) шорсткості поверхні та об’ємної поруватості матеріалу на робочі характеристики приладів. Зокрема показано, що зростання величини шорсткості поверхні масиву кремнієвих нанониток призводить до помітного зростання величини відгуку (до 72,5 разів), а також зменшення часу відгуку та часу відновлення сенсорів вологості до 20 та 36 с відповідно. Натомість зменшення СКЗ шорсткості призводить до покращення реверсивності (до 11,3%), короткочасової стабільності (до 1,61%), та повторюваності сигналу сенсора (до 0,45%). Продемонстровано важливість врахування взаємозв’язку поверхневої морфології масиву нанониток з їх вологочутливими характеристиками для розробки високоефективних сенсорів на їх основі.
Experimental Analysis of Shell-like Deployable Anchors for Increased Tensile Resistance
Authors: Tucker Kaylee A. , Sychterz Ann C.
Published: September 2024

Structures with deployable and compliant mechanisms are new to the domain of underground geotechnical systems. An anchor with rotationally deploying compliant thin-wall elements has been developed. This paper presents variations of this anchor that are targeted to increase the surface
area associated with the anchor. This increased surface area correlates to higher skin friction to better resist tensile forces. The number and sizing of the deployable components, called awns, are investigated. The work presented here includes methods to change the deployment behavior of
the awns by changing the shape of the awns and by using functionally graded materials for increased resistance when the anchor is subjected to uplift forces. Test members were fabricated from a combination of flexible and rigid polymers via additive manufacturing. Experimental testing included
anchor deployment tests and awn tension tests. For deployment tests, torque was applied to an anchor placed in clear sand. Awn tension tests provided additional information about the deformation of functionally graded awns through isolated testing of the awns. The presented design and experimental
methodologies give insights into the behavior of small-scale deployable anchors.

Antimicrobial peptides represent a promising alternative to traditional drugs in relation to cost, toxicity and, primarily, the growing problem of drug resistance. Here we report on the activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2 of a previously described wide-spectrum synthetic decapeptide, Killer Peptide (KP). As determined by plaque reduction assays, treatment with KP at 100 μg/mL resulted in a reduction in the viral yield titer of 3.5 Logs for HSV-1 and 4.1 Logs for HSV-2. Further evaluation of KP antiviral activity focused on the early stages of virus replicative cycle, including the determination of the residual infectivity of viral suspensions treated with KP. A direct effect of the peptide on viral particles, impairing virus absorption and penetration, was shown. The toxicity profile proved to be extremely good with a selectivity index of 29.6 for HSV-1 and 156 for HSV-2. KP was also active against an acyclovir (ACV)-resistant HSV-1 strain, while HSV-1 subcultures in the presence of sub-inhibitory doses of KP did not lead to the emergence of resistant strains. Finally, the antiviral action of KP proved to be synergistic with that of ACV. Overall, these results demonstrate that KP could represent an interesting addition/alternative to acyclovir for antiviral treatment.

Experimentation is a strong methodology that improves and optimizes processes, never the less, in many cases, real life dynamics of production demands and other restrictions inhibit the use of these methodologies because their use implies stopping production, generate scrap, jeopardize demands accomplishment and other problems. Here is proposed and alternative methodology to search for the best process variables levels and optimize the response of the process without the need to stop production. This algorithm is based on the principles of the Variable Simplex developed by Nelder and Mead and the continuous iterative process of EVOPS developed by Box and then modified as a simplex by Spendley. It is named parallel simplex because it searches for the best response with three independent Simplexes, searching the same response at the same time. The algorithm was designed for three simplexes of two input variables each. The case study documented shows that it is efficient and effective.

This study investigates the influence of internal factors on growth dynamics in four Cyprinus carpio varieties: three Romanian strains (Frăsinet, Ineu, and Podu Iloaiei) and the ornamental Koi variety. The research aims to elucidate variety-specific growth patterns and their implications for aquaculture and ecological management. Fish were measured for total length, maximum height, and weight at four ontogenic stages: 7 days post-hatch, summer fingerlings (0⁺), one year and summer old (1⁺), and two years and summer old (2⁺). Weight Gain (WG), Specific Growth Rate (SGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR), Fulton's condition factor, and profile index were calculated and analyzed. Results revealed significant intervariety differences in growth performance, body shape development, and physiological condition across life stages. The Romanian varieties showed superior growth performance at later stages, while Koi exhibited unique growth patterns. Fulton's condition factor and profile index varied markedly among varieties and life stages, indicating differential energy allocation and morphological adaptations. These findings highlight the complex interplay between genetic factors and developmental processes in carp varieties, providing valuable insights for selective breeding programs, aquaculture practices, and ecological management strategies. The study underscores the importance of variety-specific approaches in carp cultivation and conservation efforts.

A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out on the rod-shaped, orange pigmented strain C11T, isolated from gold mine tailings. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene showed relatedness to Brevundimonas, with 98.4 % and 98.2 % similarity to Brevundimonas bacteroides and Brevundimonas variabilis, respectively. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization with the closest phylogenetic neighbor of C11T indicates distinction at the species level, further confirmed by differences in physiology. C18:1 ω7c is the dominant cellular fatty acid. DNA G + C content is 68.3 mol %. The predominant ubiquinone is Q-10; 1,2-Di-O-acyl-3-O-α-D-glucopyranuronosyl glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl glycerol and 1,2-di-O-acyl-3-O-[D-glucopyranosyl-(1->4)-α-D-glucopyranuronosyl] glycerol are the major polar lipid constituents. This bacterium produces bacteriochlorophyll a and tolerates high concentrations of (μg/mL): tellurium (>1500), selenium (1000 to >5000), and vanadium (>5000) oxyanions. Data supports the inclusion of C11T into the genus Brevundimonas as a new species with the proposed name Brevundimonas aurifodinae sp. nov., (C11T = NRRL B-61758T; = DSM 118059T).

The rising prevalence of food intolerances and increased health and environmental consciousness has driven demand for free-from (FF) and organic products. This study aims to analyze consumer needs, motivations, and challenges related to these products in Portugal through an online survey with 2268 eligible responses, with a participants’ median age of 41 years, predominantly women (76.9%). Results show that 97.4% of respondents are aware of FF products, with 60.0% being regular consumers, particularly of lactose-free milk and gluten-free bread and biscuits. Significant market gaps were identified in the variety of FF bread (62.8%), pastries (49.0%), and cookies (38.4%). Consumers identified high prices (84.9%) and excessive sugar/fat content (52.1%) as the main drawbacks of FF products currently on the market. Women showed greater knowledge and purchase levels compared to men. Trust in organic certification was low (21.4%), with skepticism higher among lower-income and male participants. Despite this, 78.1% believed in the health benefits of organic products, and 72.2% agreed that increased demand could lower prices. Overall, the study highlights the need for greater products’ variety, improved transparency, and consumer education to enhance market trust and accessibility.
