Authors: Pramana Louise Valencia , Putri Naomi Valerisha Astridira , Rahman Fathony , Prasetya Prita
Published: November 2024

Most Indonesian e-commerce brands use sensory marketing, such as repetition of sonic logos and visual logos, in their advertisements. This research investigates the impact of repeated exposure to sonic logo and visual logos in advertisements on brand recall, brand recognition, attitudes toward the brand, and purchase intention. This study employed an experimental design with three repetition levels: one, three, and seven repetitions. The sample comprises individuals from the target market of Indonesian e-commerce platforms, selected through probability random sampling. The total sample is 300, with 100 participants in each group. The hypotheses were tested using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to determine the significance of differences between groups. The results indicate that the repetition of sonic logo and visual logos in advertisements significantly enhances brand recall and recognition, positively influences attitudes toward the brand, and increases purchase intention. Industry players are advised to use sonic logos and visual logo repetition considering its significant effect on a brand. The recommended number of repetitions is three times to assess the effect of changes in the brand. Although additional repetitions beyond three may further enhance these effects, the incremental benefit diminishes.

Singularidad ecofisiológica de los rasgos fotosintéticos e hidráulicos de las plantas vasculares antárticas.
Authors:   , FLORES BRANTTES PEDRO IVÁN LORENZO ARÍSTIDES
Published: November 2024

Deschampsia antarctica y Colobanthus quitensis son las únicas especies de plantas vasculares que han logrado colonizar naturalmente las condiciones climáticas extremas de la Antártida. Además de estar ampliamente distribuidas en casi toda la Antártida Marítima, desde los 62°S hasta los 68°S, D. antarctica se ha encontrado creciendo fuera de la Antártica, desde latitudes menores, alrededor de los 33°S, hasta la Patagonia, mientras que C. quitensis tiene una distribución más amplia a lo largo de toda la cordillera de los Andes (desde aproximadamente los 10°N hasta los 55°S). Bajo las condiciones antárticas, se ha reportado que la asimilación de carbono (AN) en ambas especies está limitada por la conductancia del CO2 a través del mesófilo foliar (gm), lo que está relacionado con características fuertemente xerofíticas como una alta masa foliar por área (LMA) y densidad foliar (LD), esenciales para sobrevivir en el severo clima antártico. Para sobrellevar esta restricción en la difusión del CO2 hacia los sitios de carboxilación en los cloroplastos, las propiedades cinéticas de la Rubisco de las especies antárticas muestran una alta especificidad por el CO2 (Sc/o) y altas tasas de recambio catalítico (kcatc). A pesar del conocimiento extenso sobre los rasgos fisiológicos de las plantas vasculares antárticas, persisten vacíos respecto a la singularidad de estos rasgos. Específicamente, se desconoce si estos rasgos están determinados exclusivamente por el clima antártico, haciéndolos únicos en las especies que crecen en la Antártica, o si también están presentes en poblaciones subantárticas de estas especies, así como en otras especies filogenéticamente relacionadas o que se consideran potenciales invasoras de la Antártica. El objetivo de esta tesis fue analizar las características fotosintéticas e hidráulicas de D. antarctica y C. quitensis creciendo en ambientes subantárticos y antárticos, así como las características de especies filogenéticamente relacionadas que crecen en climas extremos, incluyendo dos potenciales especies invasoras en la Antártica. Las evaluaciones incluyeron características anatómicas, rasgos funcionales fotosintéticos (gs, gm, vcmax) y características hidráulicas (Kleaf, max, o) en plantas cultivadas bajo diferentes regímenes térmicos. Nuestros resultados subrayan algunas singularidades en la adaptación de las plantas vasculares antárticas en respuesta a la temperatura, destacando su eficiencia hidráulica y capacidad fotosintética relacionada a ajustes anatómicos foliares.
Relacionismo perceptual y la percepción del cambio: el enactivismo sensoriomotor de Alva Noë y los estados “ocurrentes” de Matthew Soteriou.
Authors:   , SOTO MOLINA CARLOS MARCELO
Published: November 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar y vincular las propuestas de los filósofos Alva Noë y Matthew Soteriou en lo que respecta a percepción. Noë está enfocado en la percepción espacial y el volumen de los objetos, y Soteriou en la percepción temporal y la extensión temporal de los eventos. Ambas propuestas fundamentan una relación de conocimiento que tienen el individuo percipiente con el mundo, por lo que las propuestas son descritas como relacionistas, y esta definición las contrapone a las propuestas representacionalistas que los autores rechazan. Las críticas se fundamentan en que el uso de representaciones es de una noción estática y no dinámica de la experiencia perceptiva y además implica una idea centralizada de la percepción que no considera el desarrollo co-evolutivo que ha tenido el aparato perceptual con la capacidad motora y agente del cuerpo del individuo percipiente. Los argumentos de las propuestas relacionistas de Noë y Soteriou justifican sus diferencias a través de la caracterización de la relación de conocimiento, y proporciona matices distintos para las interrogantes perceptuales.

Published: November 2024

The continuous discharge of effluent into the adjoining environment is a major source of aquatic pollution which can trigger critical problems in the aquatic environment including terminating life forms directly or indirectly. This study aimed to comparatively investigate the toxicity of effluent to Tilapia guineensis (fish) and Clibanarius africanus (hermit crab). Treated effluent sample was sourced from a petroleum producing industry that discharges its effluent into Bonny estuary, Bonny while the test organisms were obtained from National Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research (NIOMR), Buguma both in Rivers State, Nigeria. The range of pH (7.24 – 7.59), salinity (17.46 – 27.31psu), temperature (22.00 – 23.42℃), dissolved oxygen (2.93 – 3.79mg/l) total dissolved solid (1479 – 19980 mg/l) and electrical conductivity (2957 – 29840uscm-1) of the test medium for the different concentrations of effluent were within the limits that permits survival of aquatic organisms. Clibanarius africanus displayed more tolerance than Tilapia guineensis. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of the treated effluent at 96hours for both Tilapia guineensis and Clibanarius africanus were very high (409,824mg/l and 299,008mg/l respectively) which implies that the treated effluent was not toxic to both organisms hence would not cause fatal effect on the test organisms. Thus, effluent treatment compliance and management is essential for protection of sensitive aquatic areas.

Published: November 2024

The application of green corrosion inhibitors is increasingly recognized as an eco-friendly approach to mitigating corrosion. This study investigates the inhibitory effects of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Ocimum gratissimum (OG) on buried metals, focusing on managing microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC). Over a 28-day period, carbon steel coupons were conditioned with OG extracts and buried in spiked clayey loam soil containing produced water to simulate anaerobic MIC conditions. Experimental setups included OGEE (Ethanolic extract of OG), OGAE (Aqueous extract of OG), and a control without extracts. After 14 and 28 days, corrosion effects were assessed gravimetrically, calculating metal weight loss, corrosion rate, and inhibition efficiency. Results showed mean percentage weight losses of 0.87%, 0.82%, and 1.73% for OGEE, OGAE, and Control setups, respectively. The corrosion rates were 11.76 mpy for OGEE, 11.15 mpy for OGAE, and 23.43 mpy for the control. Inhibition efficiencies were 49.7% and 52.3% for OGEE and OGAE, respectively. One-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests confirmed significant reductions in mean percentage weight loss for both OG-treated setups compared to the control at 14 and 28 days, with no significant difference between OGEE and OGAE. The findings indicate that O. gratissimum extracts significantly reduce MIC in buried metals, providing an effective, sustainable approach to corrosion management in buried pipelines.

Published: November 2024

Natural gas is crucial for energy generation, industrial production, and residential heating in the United States. The demand is difficult to forecast due to economic fluctuations, energy price instability, and seasonal temperature variations. Time series analysis and linear regression may fail to account for the nonlinear interactions in gas demand data, potentially resulting in inaccuracies. This work addresses the necessity for precise gas demand projections, which are essential for energy planning and resource management. Natural gas is crucial for electricity production, industrial processes, and residential heating; nevertheless, demand is influenced by weather conditions, economic activity, and energy pricing. Conventional forecasting models are inadequate for capturing these intricate processes, necessitating the employment of more sophisticated predictive methodologies. This research employs decision trees, linear regression, gradient boosting, and random forests to examine data from 10 significant US states spanning 2000 to 2019. The random forest model accurately anticipated demand patterns, achieving an R-squared of 99.67% and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 34.53. These findings demonstrate that machine learning can elucidate nonlinear relationships in gas demand data. The study provides a framework for improved demand forecasting, aiding energy providers and legislators in optimising resource allocation, increasing cost-efficiency, and promoting environmental sustainability.
Hysteroscopic versus laparoscopic management of two different variants of OHVIRA syndrome with preservation of hymen integrity
Authors: Diaa Ahmed Abdelhalim
Published: November 2024

OHVIRA syndrome is a rare mesonephric duct-induced mullerian anomaly characterised by the triad of uterus didelphys, obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly.
I present here 2 cases of OHVIRA syndrome. One with the mentioned classic features and another rare variant with a high/proximal vaginal septum which made the diagnosis and management even more challenging.
The first case was a 12-year-old girl who presented with dysmenorrhea in the last 2 months since menarche. Ultrasound and MRI scans confirmed the diagnosis of right haematocolpos, double uterus and right renal agenesis. Trans-hymenal vaginoscopic septoplasty was performed using a hook and loop of a bipolar resectoscope.
The second case was a 14-year-old girl who was referred to us with left iliac fossa pain, absent left kidney and a pelvic cystic structure. After full assessment and investigations including MRI, the differential diagnosis was unicornuate uterus with functioning non-communicating horn versus OHVIRA syndrome with cervicovaginal atresia (class 1.2). However, the final diagnosis of OHVIRA syndrome (class 1.1) with a high/proximal vaginal septum was confirmed by combined hysteroscopy and laparoscopy. She was managed by laparoscopic ipsilateral hemihysterectomy and septoplasty. The integrity of the hymen was preserved as per the patient and her parents’ wishes.
OHVIRA syndrome is generally a very rare condition. However, there are even more rare forms and variants of this anomaly which need more vigilance to reach timely accurate diagnosis and more experience and skills to perform proper management.

Published: November 2024

Air pollution has become one of the most critical threats to human health in the last century. Heavy metals are among the components of air pollution that threaten human health the most. Boron is one of the heavy metals whose use has been increasing in recent years due to its use in more than 250 fields in industry. Due to intensive use, boron concentrations in receiving environments are constantly increasing. However, boron, one of the important heavy metals, can cause significant health problems when inhaled from the air and taken into the human body. Therefore, monitoring the changes in boron concentration in the air is very important. In this study, species, organ, and directional changes of boron concentration in Tilia tomentosa, Robinia pseudoacacia, Cedrus atlantica, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Fraxinus excelsior species growing in Düzce, one of the five most polluted cities in Europe. The study results show that boron concentrations are generally higher in the outer bark. Regarding species, the lowest values were obtained in P. menziesii, and the highest were obtained in R. pseudoacacia. The highest B concentrations in wood were obtained in R. pseudoacacia, and it is thought that this species can be used effectively to reduce B pollution.
Classification and properties of composites based on matrix material
Authors: Tanriverdiyev Yusif Alovsat
Published: November 2024

Composites are advanced materials engineered to combine the best properties of their constituent phases, resulting in superior mechanical, thermal, and chemical characteristics. They consist of a matrix material that acts as the binding phase and reinforcement materials that enhance the overall properties of the composite. The classification of composites based on the matrix material provides a systematic approach to understanding their behavior and applications. The primary classifications include polymer matrix composites (PMCs), metal matrix composites (MMCs), and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Each type of matrix material contributes distinct properties: PMCs are lightweight and corrosion-resistant but have limited thermal stability; MMCs exhibit high strength, thermal conductivity, and toughness but are heavier and prone to corrosion; and CMCs offer exceptional thermal and wear resistance but are brittle and costly to produce. This paper provides an in-depth discussion of these classifications, focusing on their composition, properties, advantages, limitations, and applications in various industries. By highlighting the importance of matrix materials, this study aims to provide insights into the design, selection, and optimization of composites for specific engineering applications.

Authors: Maksudul Shadat Akash
Published: November 2024

This study explores the philosophical and cultural themes embedded in the song ‘Mary on a Cross’ by Ghost, analyzing how it engages with concepts of suffering, love, authenticity, and redemption within the human experience. Through a qualitative, interpretive approach, the study examines the lyrics’ portrayal of existential themes, focusing on the symbolic use of “Mary” to represent both purity and suffering, and highlighting the duality between fame and disillusionment as a critique of modern societal values. Using textual analysis and philosophical hermeneutics, the research situates the song within existentialist and cultural theories, drawing on thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Erich Fromm to interpret its messages on personal and spiritual transformation. The analysis also incorporates perspectives from cultural theorists like Theodor Adorno and Jean Baudrillard to examine the song’s rejection of superficiality and its advocacy for genuine human connection. Furthermore, the study considers the role of music in philosophical reflection, illustrating how ‘Mary on a Cross’ functions as a medium for audience engagement with complex existential themes, allowing listeners to explore their own experiences of suffering and meaning. Ultimately, this paper positions ‘Mary on a Cross’ as a reflection on the human condition, underscoring music’s unique capacity to prompt introspection and foster connections through shared existential insights.
Emotion detection from facial images: A hybrid approach to feature extraction and classification
Authors: Ruchita Mathur  , Vaibhav Gupta
Published: November 2024

Emotion detection from facial images has become increasingly important across various domains, including human-computer interaction, security, and mental health assessment. This study presents a novel hybrid approach that integrates traditional feature extraction techniques with advanced deep learning methods to enhance the accuracy and reliability of emotion recognition systems. We explore conventional methods, such as Local Binary Patterns (LBP) and Gabor filters, which focus on capturing texture and spatial features of facial expressions. In conjunction with these techniques, we employ Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for automatic feature extraction, allowing the model to learn complex patterns in the data without manual intervention. By combining traditional and modern methods, our approach leverages the strengths of both, effectively capturing intricate facial expressions and reducing the impact of variations in lighting, occlusion, and orientation. In our experimental evaluation, we utilize well-established datasets, including FER2013 and CK+, to rigorously train and test our model. We apply various classification algorithms, such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and advanced deep learning frameworks, to assess the performance of the extracted features.
The results demonstrate that our hybrid approach significantly outperforms traditional methods alone, achieving superior accuracy, precision, and robustness in emotion detection. This research underscores the potential of combining diverse feature extraction techniques to enhance the reliability and effectiveness of facial emotion recognition systems. Our findings suggest that the integration of conventional and deep learning methods can pave the way for more effective and practical applications in real-world scenarios, ultimately contributing to advancements in fields such as affective computing, user experience design, and mental health monitoring.
A study to assess the knowledge regarding obesity and its long-term complications among adolescents from selected higher secondary school, Udupi
Authors: Aishwrya V  , Gishel Nisha Fernandes
Published: November 2024

Teenagers from a chosen higher secondary school in Udupi were asked to rate their awareness of obesity and its long-term consequences using descriptive research methods and a descriptive survey approach. A systematic, self-administered knowledge questionnaire was developed to evaluate adolescents' knowledge of obesity in light of the nature of the problem and to meet the study's aims. The validity and reliability of the tool were confirmed by interaction with guides and professionals in the fields of medicine and nursing. The study was carried out in the Udupi Christian English Medium School. 100 teenagers were chosen using the purposive sampling method. A structured knowledge survey was utilized to collect the data. Collected data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The majority on the obesity spectrum, 16 (16%) and 84 (84%) of the teenagers had moderate knowledge scores. An examination of the adolescents' knowledge score on obesity by area reveals that the average knowledge score was 16.62, the mean percentage was 47, and the standard deviation was 3.186. Knowledge scores were significantly correlated with the chi square value of characteristics like family type. Additional factors include age, gender, birth order, religion, family income, parents' occupations and levels of education, nutrition, habit of consuming junk food, means of transportation to school, leisure activities, length of time spent watching TV, and length of time spent playing video games. Exercise, issues of any kind, family history of obesity, and personal history of obesity do not significantly correlate. Therefore, the hypothesis H1 is partially accepted. According to the survey, most teenagers didn't know much about obesity and its long-term effects. An incomplete statistically significant correlation was observed between the knowledge score of teenagers and demographic factors.

A Comparison of Fremanezumab and Eptinezumab in the Prevention of Chronic Episodic Migraine
Authors: Sultan Akbar
Published: November 2024

Chronic migraine is a disorder that affects millions worldwide. Research indicates that people suffering from chronic migraine respond well to monoclonal antibody treatment aimed at characteristic immune cell markers. By targeting immune cell markers, the immune system is subsequently suppressed in a way such that disease activity is decreased. Monoclonal antibody treatments targeted towards a variety of immune cell markers have historically been shown to result in decreases in chronic migraine disease activity. Many studies have assessed disease activity with monoclonal antibody treatments, but few have compared different treatments.
A systematic review of a study that assessed the migraine activity using mean monthly migraine days (MMDs) for those taking fremanezumab was then compared to the findings of another study which assessed the MMDs with those taking eptinezumab
The patients treated with fremanezumab had significantly decreased MMDs when compared with other matched controls. Those who were treated with fresolimumab had significantly decreased MMDs when compared with other matched controls. However, those who were treated with eptinezumab had a greater reduction of MMDs as compared to control groups than did those who were treated with fremanezumab.
Monoclonal antibody treatments for chronic migraine are widespread. It is critical that these treatments are compared in order to find those with the greatest efficacy. For this review, eptinezumab seemed to have a greater reduction of disease activity than did fremanezumab. Further studies with greater sample sizes are needed to conclude which has greater efficacy.

Authors: Endarto Budi
Published: November 2024

Transportation is still the largest emission-contributing sector in Indonesia. However, the Government has set an aggressive electrification target in the transportation sector if it needs to be balanced with a financing scheme for energy conversion towards battery electric vehicles (BEV). For this reason, BEV conversion industry players should utilize green bond financing schemes. The main issue lies in the need for more alignment between EV conversion industry regulations and financing models for the sector. However, the Government needs to harmonize rules and coordination among sectoral institutions such as the OJK, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Transportation. Especially concerning Regulation Number 39 of 2023 regarding the Conversion of Fuel-Powered Motorcycles into Battery-Based Electric Motorcycles, and Minister of Transportation Regulation Number 15 of 2022 regarding Motor Vehicle Conversion to formulate green bonds as an alternative financing option for BEV programs. The method used in this writing is normative legal research of the exploratory type with a statutory and conceptual approach. The result shows that through the synchronization model of green bond financing regulations with the battery electric vehicle conversion regulation and coordination between sectoral institutions, it is expected to accelerate the commitment to realize net zero emission and as an effort to mitigate the energy crisis and reduce fuel energy subsidies in Indonesia.

Forced marriage by guardians is recorded as a form of sexual violencein Indonesia. Government regulation Article 10 of Law No. 12 of 2022explains that forced marriage is divided into 3, namely child marriage, inthe name of culture, and rape victims. The background of this research isdue to the problem of the great authority held by the guardian of the mujbiras the guardian of the marriage of children or grandchildren. This greatauthority is in the form of forced marriage carried out by the guardian ofthe mujbir without the consent of the bride. The concept of the guardian ofthe mujbir is a concept contained in the views of the Imam Syafi’i schoolof thought, as one of the schools of thought widely used in Indonesia. Thepractice of the guardian of the mujbir in Indonesia certainly raises problemswhen associated with the provisions of Article 10 of Law Number 12 of2022, which states that forced marriage is a criminal act of sexual violence.So there are two legal problems. First, is it possible for the view of theImam Syafi’i school of thought on wali mujbir to be applied in Indonesiasecond, how is the legitimacy of the authority to force marriage held by thewali mujbir reviewed from the objectives of Islamic law maqashid shariaBy using the normative legal research method with a conceptual approachand literature study method, the results obtained are that the concept ofwali mujbir is contrary to Law Number 12 of 2022 because it causes forcedmarriage which is a criminal act of sexual violence so that the view onthe concept of wali mujbir cannot be implemented in Indonesia. Viewedfrom the perspective of its benefits, the concept of wali mujbir is not morebeneficial. It causes more forced marriage practices and does not protectwomen and their rights.
