Published: June 2023

Rumah tradisional di Indonesia termasuk rumah Melayu kini telah banyak mengalami perubahan dan mulai ditinggalkan. Perubahan bentuk dan penggunaan material akan berpengaruh terhadap kinerja termal yang terjadi. Sementara itu rumah tradisional diyakini sebagai bangunan vernakular yang responsif terhadap iklim dan dapat memberikan kondisi termal yang cukup bagi penghuninya. Hal tersebut menjadi dasar untuk mengetahui kinerja termal yang terjadi pada rumah tradisional yang menggunakan jendela tingkap. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini kuantitatif deskriptif dengan melihat korelasi variabel suhu, kelembaban, dan kecepatan angin pada objek dalam waktu tertentu dengan ragam ventilasi bukaan. Hal ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh ragam bukaan jendela tingkap terhadap kinerja termal yang terjadi. Hasil dari penelitian kinerja termal jendela tingkap ini adalah cukup baik yang berpengaruh pada tingkat kenyamanan temal. Dari hasil perolehan akhir perhitungan tingkat kenyamanan termal relatif sama antara ruang (perbedaan tidak signifikan), selasar dalam dengan PMV = 1,17 (agak hangat/slightly warm) dan ruang induk dengan nilai PMV=1,2 (agak hangat/slightly warm). THERMAL ANALYSIS OF VERNACULAR WINDOW IN PEKANBARU Traditional houses in Indonesia, including Malay houses, have undergone many changes and are starting to be abandoned. Differences in shape and use of materials will affect thermal performance. Meanwhile, traditional houses are believed to be vernacular buildings that are responsive to climate and can provide sufficient thermal conditions for their inhabitants. This is the basis for knowing the thermal performance in traditional houses that use casement windows. The method used in this research is quantitative descriptive by looking at the correlation of temperature, humidity, and wind speed variables on objects at a particular time with various ventilation openings. This aims to determine the effect of various window openings on thermal performance. The results of this casement window thermal performance study are pretty good, affecting the thermal comfort level. From the results of the final calculation, the level of thermal comfort is relatively the same between the rooms (the difference is not significant), the inner hallway with PMV = 1.17 (slightly warm) and the main room with a value of PMV = 1.2 (slightly warm).

Published: June 2023

During the "lockdown" of the COVID-19 pandemic from March to August of 2020, everyone was required to work and study online from home and limit social interaction.  For architecture schools to transfer lecture activities online is challenging. This is because the majority of architecture school courses are studio-based with an emphasis on teachers directly reviewing student work and providing feedback in the form of scribbles. Additionally, site visits are necessary throughout the design process. The purpose of this paper is to gain a deeper understanding of the significant aspects of online design studios from the perspective of first- and second-year undergraduate architecture students during the pandemic. In an online survey, students were asked about their opinions of online design studios and their preference for online or hybrid design studios (a combination of online and limited face-to-face studios) in the following semester. According to the findings of the study, respondents have varying preferences for online design studios based on the length of their studies and the drawing technique used for their assignments. The evaluation identifies three significant aspects of online design studios: the studio system, the supervision process, and the media and facilities. EVALUASI STUDIO DESAIN ARSITEKTUR ONLINE SAAT PANDEMI COVID-19Selama "lockdown" pandemi COVID-19 dari Maret hingga Agustus 2020, semua orang diharuskan bekerja dan belajar secara daring dari rumah serta membatasi interaksi sosial. Dalam pendidikan arsitektur mentransfer kegiatan perkuliahan secara online merupakan hal yang sulit. Hal ini dikarenakan mayoritas mata kuliah sekolah arsitektur berbasis studio, dengan penekanan pada dosen yang meninjau langsung hasil karya mahasiswa dan memberikan umpan balik berupa coretan. Selain itu, kunjungan ke lokasi diperlukan selama proses desain. Tujuan dari makalah ini adalah untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih dalam tentang aspek signifikan dari studio online dari perspektif mahasiswa arsitektur sarjana tahun pertama dan kedua selama pandemi. Survei online menggunakan skala Likert dan pertanyaan terbuka dilakukan untuk menanyakan pendapat, 178 mahasiswa tentang studio online dan preferensi mereka untuk studio online atau studio hybrid (gabungan studio online dan studio tatap muka terbatas) pada semester berikutnya. Menggunakan analisis deskriptif, data menunjukkan responden memiliki preferensi yang berbeda-beda untuk studio online berdasarkan lama studi mereka dan teknik menggambar yang digunakan untuk tugas mereka. Evaluasi mengidentifikasi tiga aspek signifikan dari studio online: sistem studio, proses pengawasan, dan media dan fasilitas.

Kawasan Universitas Tanjungpura menjadi bagian dari ruang terbuka Kota Pontianak saat ini mulai ramai dikunjungi masyarakat, peningkatan jumlah kunjungan ini terlihat jelas sejak mulai ditatanya taman-taman yang berbatasan langsung dengan ruang terbuka Untan yaitu Taman Sepeda. Disisi lain ini memberikan dampak positif yaitu warga dan masyarakat kota Pontianak memiliki area ruang terbuka yang nyaman dikunjungi, namun disisi lain keberadaan ruang terbuka ini juga mendatangkan sektor informal seperti PKL. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi pola sebaran ruang yang dibentuk oleh PKL di sepanjang kawasan Untan khususnya koridor jalan Auditorium Untan (Jln Moh Isja), dan faktor seting apa saja yang berperan di dalamnya, dan hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi bagian rekomendasi awal dalam penataan PKL di Kawasan Untan. Metode pengamatan yang digunakan yaitu Behavior Mapping, place centered Mapping, dengan menggunakan variabel  bebas yaitu bentuk ruang dan variabel terikat yaitu elemen seting dan teritori sebagai amatan penelitian. Hasil penelitian ditemukan bawah pola sebaran teritori PKL adalah di sepanjang Streets atau jalan di depan Auditorium Untan (Jln Moh Isja) yang sebelumnya relatif rendah tingkat lalu lintas kendarannya atau merupakan jalur alternatif masuk kawasan untan, dan penanda ruang PKL yang digunakan yaitu seting yang sifatnya semi-fix seperti gerobak, payung dan tenda. TERRITORY DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS OF STREET VENDORS IN UNIVERSITAS TANJUNGPURA OPEN SPACE Universitas Tanjungpura/Tanjungpura University (Untan) area, which is part of the open space of Pontianak City, is currently starting to get crowded with people. The increase in the number of visits has been evident since the arrangement of parks directly adjacent to Untan's open space, namely the Bicycle Park. On the other hand, this has a positive impact, namely, the residents and people of Pontianak have an open space area that is comfortable to visit. Still, on the other hand, this open space also invites the informal sector, such as street vendors. This study aims to identify the spatial distribution pattern formed by street vendors along the Untan area, especially the Untan Auditorium road corridor (Jln Moh Isja). What setting factors play a role in it, and the results of this study can be part of the initial recommendations in structuring street vendors in Untan area. The observation method used is Behavior Mapping, place-centered Mapping, using the independent variables, namely the form of space, and the dependent variable, namely the elements of the setting and territory, as research observations. The results of the study found that the street vendors' territorial distribution pattern was along Streets or the road in front of the Untan Auditorium (Jln Moh Isja), which previously had a relatively low level of vehicle traffic or was an alternative route to enter the camel area, and the street vendor space markers used were semi-dark settings. -fixes such as carts, umbrellas, and tents.
Geometry and Chemistry: Influence of Pore Functionalization on Molecular Transport and Diffusion in Solvent-Filled Zirconium Metal–Organic Frameworks
Authors: Wang Rui , Bukowski Brandon , Duan Jiaxin , Zhang Kun , Snurr Randall , Hupp Joseph
Published: June 2023

Post-synthetic modification (PSM) of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) enables incorporation of diverse func-tionalities in pores for chemical separations, drug delivery, and heterogeneous catalysis. However, the effect of PSM on molecular transport, which is essential for most applications of MOFs, is rarely studied. In this paper, we used the perfluoroalkane-functionalized Zr-MOF NU-1008 as a platform to systematically interrogate transport processes and mechanisms in solvated pores. We anchored perfluoroalkanes onto NU-1008 nodes by solvent-assisted ligand incorporation (SALI-n, with n = 3, 5, 7, 9 denoting the number of fluorinated carbons). Transport of a luminescent molecule, BODIPY, through individual crystallites of four versions of methanol-filled SALI-n was monitored by confocal fluorescence microscopy as a function of time and location. In com-parison with the parent NU-1008, the diffusivity of the probe molecules within SALI-n declined by 2 to 7-fold depending on chain length and loading, presumably due to steric effects or adsorptive interactions with per-fluoroalkyl chains. Atomistic simulations were performed to uncover the microscopic behavior of BODIPY dif-fusion in SALI-n. BODIPY molecules, which preferably interact with linkers, were pushed to the interior of the channels as chain length increased, resulting in solvated diffusion and minor differences in the short-time mobility of BODIPY in SALI-n. This suggested that the observed decline of transport diffusivity in SALI-n mainly stemmed from the steric effect from these flexible chains. We anticipate that this proof-of-concept will assist in understanding how pore functionalization can physically and chemically affect mass transport in MOFs and will be useful in further guiding the design of PSM to realize the optimal performance of MOFs for various applications.
The effects of maternal environmental tobacco smoke exposure on periodontal health and mother-infant bonding in relation to salivary cotinine level
Authors: Salim Nada Z , Diab Ban S
Published: June 2023

Background: Environmental tobacco smoking is produced by active smokers burning the tip of a cigarette and breathed by nonsmokers and measured by cotinine level. It has the potential to raise the risk of periodontal disease. One of the most frequent chronic diseases in adults is periodontal disease. The lower maternal-fetal attachment has been found to predict smoking status in previous studies, but no research has examined whether maternal-fetal attachment predicts environmental tobacco smoking. This study assessed the effects of maternal environmental tobacco smoke exposure on periodontal health and mother-infant bonding concerning salivary cotinine levels. Materials and methods: This is a comparative cross-sectional study comparing environmental tobacco smoke on exposed and non-exposed mothers aged between 20-35 years with their infants aged up to one year who attended primary health care centers in rural areas of AL-Karkh sector/Baghdad. Along with the essential socio-demographic data, a secondhand smoke exposure scale and postpartum bonding questionnaire were employed. Collection of unstimulated saliva from mothers was done according to Navazesh and Kumer in 2008. After that, the clinical Assessment of gingival bleeding and periodontal pockets was performed by using Community Periodontal Index according to the world health organization in 1997. Results: Out of 150 subjects,67(44.66%) were exposed to environmental tobacco whereas the non-exposed mothers were composed of 83 (55.33%). The highest mean number of CPI0(healthy gingiva) and CPI1(gingival bleeding) were among the non-exposed mothers while the highest mean number of CPI2(dental calculus), CPI3 (shallow pocket 4-5mm) and CPI4(deep pocket 6mm or more) were among the exposed mothers. The mean value of cotinine level among the non-exposed mothers was lower than exposed mothers with significant results. A higher salivary cotinine level was linked to a lower maternal-fetal bonding score. Conclusions: Mother’s exposure to environmental tobacco smoke significantly negatively impacts periodontal disease. Furthermore, mothers who have a stronger sense of attachment and affiliation to their fetus have lower salivary cotinine concentrations than mothers who have a less sense of fetal attachment.

Minimally invasive access cavities in endodontics
Authors: Abdulrazaq Lubna A , Ali Ahmed H , Foschi Federico
Published: June 2023

Background: The access cavity is a critical stage in root canal therapy and it may influence the subsequent steps of the treatment. The new minimally invasive endodontic access cavity preparation concept aims to preserve sound tooth structure by conserving as much intact dentine as possible including the pulp chamber's roof, to keep the teeth from fracturing during and after endodontic treatment. While there is great interest in such access opening designs in numerous publications, still there is a lack of scientific evidence to support the application of such modern access cavity designs in clinical practice. This review aims to critically examine the literature on minimal access cavity preparations, explain the effect of minimally invasive access cavity designs on various aspects of root canal treatment, and identify areas where additional research is required. Data: An electronic search for English-language articles was performed using the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and Research Gate. The following keywords were used: "minimally invasive access cavity", "conservative endodontic cavity ", and "classification of access cavity". Study selection: 64 papers that were the most relevant to the topics in this review were selected between 1969 to 26 February 2022. Conclusions: Minimally invasive access cavities can be classified into conservative, ultraconservative, truss access, caries and restorative-driven cavities. There is a deficiency of proof that a minimally invasive access cavity maintains the resistance to fracture of endodontically treated teeth greater than traditional access cavities. There was no difference in the percentage of untouched walls and debris removal in teeth with conservative vs traditional access cavities, however, truss and ultraconservative access cavities resulted in poor irrigation efficacy compared to traditional ones. Also, the lower cyclic fatigue resistance of rotary instruments and root canal obturation with voids were associated with minimally invasive access cavities. The studies about minimally invasive access cavities still have a wide range of methodological disadvantages or register unsatisfactory or inconclusive results. Therefore, further research on this topic is needed especially with the everyday advancement of techniques and armamentarium used in endodontics.

Authors: Mithans Monika , Zurc Joca , Ivanuš Grmek Milena
Published: June 2023

The quality of educational work is inextricably linked to many factors at the system, school, teacher, and student levels. This research was carried out within the project ‘Education of Teachers as a Factor of Providing High-quality Life-long Learning in the Learning Society/The Society of Fast Socio-economic Changes and Unsure Future’, funded by the Slovenian Research Agency. This paper provides a basic overview of the characteristics of open instruction, an umbrella term that combines active and learner-centred didactic strategies. The empirical section focuses on the use of didactic strategies. The survey was carried out with 1,536 primary school[1] pupils in Grades 7 and 9 and 263 of their teachers. Both pupils and teachers cited problem-based learning and research-based learning as the most commonly used didactic strategies, while project-based learning was the least frequently used. Despite the agreement on the most and least frequently used didactic strategies, there are statistically significant differences between pupils’ and teachers’ perceptions of all selected didactic strategies. Teachers reported that they used these strategies more often than was perceived by their pupils. We also found a statistically significant impact of better learning performance on the perception of certain didactic strategies. The results of the study raise new research questions, especially in the design of more detailed analyses of the use of didactic strategies in pedagogical practice.

Brain asymmetry: a novel perspective on hemispheric network
Authors: Wang Bin , Yang Lan , Yan Wenjie , An Weichao , Xiang Jie , Li Dandan
Published: June 2023

Brain asymmetry, involving structural and functional differences between the two hemispheres, is a major organizational principle of the human brain. The structural and functional connectivity within each hemisphere defines the hemispheric network or connectome. Elucidating left-right differences of the hemispheric network provides opportunities for brain asymmetry exploration. This review examines the asymmetry in the hemispheric white matter and functional network to assess health and brain disorders. In this article, the brain asymmetry in structural and functional connectivity including network topologies of healthy individuals, involving brain cognitive systems and the development trend, is highlighted. Moreover, the abnormal asymmetry of the hemispheric network related to cognition changes in brain disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and bipolar disorder, is presented. This review suggests that the hemispheric network is highly conserved for measuring human brain asymmetries and has potential in the study of the cognitive system and brain disorders.

Published: June 2023

This research involves the implementation of a dual-input DC-DC boost converter for integrating solar and fuel cell energy sources with a smart grid. The growing demand for renewable energy sources necessitates the efficient utilization and integration of multiple energy systems. The proposed dual-input converter enables simultaneous extraction and management of power from solar panels and fuel cells, resulting in improved energy generation and utilization. The converter incorporates a smart grid interface, allowing bidirectional power flow between the energy sources and the grid. The design and control strategy of the dual-input converter are discussed in detail, with a focus on achieving high conversion efficiency, maximum power point tracking, and optimal power sharing between the solar panels and fuel cells. The control algorithm utilizes a combination of Perturb and Observe (P&O) and Incremental Conductance (IncCond) methods for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), ensuring efficient power extraction from the solar panels. Additionally, a Proportional-Integral (PI) controller is implemented to regulate power flow between the energy sources and the grid. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the proposed converter's performance under various operating conditions.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was analyze the interrelationships of internal financial factors, which include financing risk and capital adequacy, ICG and ICSR as determinants of ROA in Islamic banking in Indonesia.
 
Theoretical framework:  Previous studies have provided mixed results regarding the application of ICG to profitability. Therefore, it is necessary to re-examine the implementation of ICG on the profitability of Islamic banks.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The research sample consist of 14 sharia commercial banks in Indonesia in the study period 2012 to 2021 with a total of 130 observations. This study used multiple regression analysis.
 
Findings: The results showed a negative effect of NPF on ROA financial performance. Furthermore, there was a positive effect of CAR and ICG disclosure on ROA financial performance. Meanwhile, disclosure of ICSR had no significant effect on ROA financial performance. Age control variables and Islamic bank size were found to have no effect on ROA.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The government can make a regulation requiring Islamic banks in Indonesia to carry out ICSR because it is more suitable with business forms that use Islamic concepts.
 
Originality/value: This study offers an examination of the factors affecting financial performance of financial and non-financial factors. Financial factors are seen in terms of financing risk and capital adequacy while non-financial factors are represented by sharia governance and sharia social responsibility in sharia commercial banks in Indonesia.
Perceived and Attitudes Influencing Intention to Adopt New Technology for Farm Production: A Case Study of Farmers at Nakhon Ratchasima Province Thailand
Authors: Mahattanakhun Chanawut , Suvittawat Adisak
Published: June 2023

Purpose:  The purpose of this research is to study the factors that influence the acceptance of technology among farmers and their ability to adapt to changing times in agriculture, focusing on Thai farmers.
 
Theoretical framework:  The theory was intended to explain an individual’s decision in behavioral technology acceptance, which is determined by three factors: attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. Attitudes refer to an individual’s behavioral assessment which is a consequence of experience and environment that can lead people to perform individual behavior, both positive and negative, those individuals can motivate by their attitudes and perform different behaviors depending on their environment.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The study constructs a model to explain the causal factors in relation to usefulness, control, attitude, and intention. Data was collected from a sample group of 420 registered farmers with the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives who grow economic crops (rice, cassava, corn, sugarcane) using questionnaires.
 
Findings:  It was found that attitude has the greatest influence on the intention to use technology. This implies that good attitude towards new technology, especially technology that is not yet widely distributed, has a significant impact on the intention to use technology. The attitude mediate has relationship between usefulness and intention.
Research, Practical & Social implications: We recommend that the future research should have widen areas for results calibration.

Women Farmer's Perspectives on Climate Change and Intention to Adopt Sustainable Agriculture
Authors: Bhujel Roshan Raj , Joshi H. G.
Published: June 2023

Purpose: This study highlights the significance of sustainable agriculture and delves into the views of women farmers on climate change and their aspirations to adopt sustainable farming practices.
 
Theoretical framework: The opportunity comes in creating fresh methods, abilities, and interventions that foster innovation. The challenge is figuring out ways to mitigate its effects and search for alternatives. Women farmers in particular need creative behaviour and decision-making power to adapt to climate change since they face resource, cultural, societal, and personal constraints.
 
Design/methodology/approach: To better understand how farmers think about climate change, sustainable agriculture, and related topics, we conducted structured, open-ended interviews with them. Twenty-six female farmers in the Himalayan state of Sikkim were chosen using convenience sampling. Qualitative data analysis tools were used to analyse the interview data. A web-based tool was used for sentiment analysis, which also contributed to identifying the themes.
 
Findings: Positive sentiments were identified in the use of organic farming for sustainable agriculture. Most respondents believed that government support is required for large-scale use of organic farming. The respondents also acknowledged the positive effects of vermicomposting. The analysis showed that vermicomposting provides good health and growth to plants and crops. Resilient crop selection was identified as a method that assists in standing against weather fluctuations.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: Crop selection based on seasons is vital for good yields. The thematic analysis also presented a positive response toward applying crop rotation, intercropping, and companion cropping. Compared to women with lower decision-making and inventive skills, women with these traits embraced more sustainable agricultural practises.
 
Originality/Value: Giving women in agriculture greater autonomy will thereby enhance the adoption of sustainable agricultural techniques, so enhancing food security and reducing climate change. This outcome will help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals of gender equality and climate action set by the United Nations.
Small Medium Enterprises Brand Gestalt: A Key Driver of Customer Satisfaction and Repurchase Intention
Authors: Rantung Danny Ivan , Mandagi Deske Wenske , Wuryaningrat Nikolas Fajar , Lelengboto Abraham Leslie Petir
Published: June 2023

Purpose:  There has been a lack of empirical research examining the relationship between brand gestalt, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention. The present study aims to fill this theoretical gap by analyzing the influence of brand gestalt on customer satisfaction and repurchase intention in the context of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
 
Theoretical framework:   Brand gestalt is a crucial construct that explains the comprehensive perception of a brand held by customers, and its importance in constructing brand meaning is paramount.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  The study employed a quantitative survey approach, using purposive sampling to collect data from 344 SME customers in Manado, Indonesia. The hypotheses were tested using partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM).
 
Findings:  The empirical results demonstrated that the four dimensions of brand gestalt (namely, story, sensescape, servicescape, and stakeholder) are significant predictors of customer satisfaction. Additionally, both brand sensescape and servicescape exert a significant impact on customer intention to repurchase, both directly and through the mediating effect of customer satisfaction. While the direct relationship between the story and repurchase intention was not found to be significant, this result provides support for the complete mediating role of customer satisfaction.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: These findings provide valuable insights for SME practitioners in formulating brand strategies, highlighting that an effective story, sensescape, and servicescape can lead to customer satisfaction and repurchase intention.
 
Originality/value:  This study contributes to the existing literature on SME branding by providing the first empirical evidence on the link between brand gestalt, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention. Moreover, it can aid in the development of effective branding strategies and improve the competitiveness and performance of small businesses, which can have a positive impact on local economies and communities.
