Authors: Martsenyuk Vasyl , Kit Nataliia
Published: May 2024

Design of production network based on multilayer neural models is considered in this paper. Design of production network is crucial because it determines the optimal location of production and logistics facilities, affects cost efficiency, customer service level and overall competitiveness in the global market. Multi-layer neural networks play an important role in this process, using advanced algorithms, machine learning models and optimization techniques to analyze huge amounts of data. Special attention is focused on qualitative analysis of dynamic behavior, dynamic lattice model. The model includes rate constants and initial conditions affecting the model trajectories, which can be classified as a stable site, limit cycle, or chaotic attractor. We aim to solve the problem of qualitative behavior of the model as a problem of multilayer neural models. A multivariate method of predicting nonlinear dynamics was used to construct the training data set. Neural networks defined by regenerative architectures with linear and non-linear outputs were analyzed and compared. As a result of the analysis, it was found that architectures with linear outputs show better correspondence between expected and predicted values. Architectures with non-linear outputs, despite their complexity, exhibit less accuracy and more deviation compared to linear ones. The single-layer architecture with linear outputs shows the best accuracy, although the two-layer architecture with linear outputs has the lowest rms error. Architectures with non-linear outputs have faster training times but poor accuracy, while architectures with linear outputs require more training time but have lower errors. The results obtained in the work indicate the importance of choosing the right architecture of the neural network depending on the tasks and requirements for accuracy and training time of the model.

Published: May 2024

The study revealed that adding crushed flax seeds to the dough system prolonged the duration of its formation by 5 minutes. It was also noted that the amount of gluten in the dough was 17% less than in the control sample, which had a loose, unbound structure and lower extensibility. The impact of the rollers ensures a high-quality grinding process of flax seeds, which allows mucilage-forming polysaccharides to pass into the liquid phase of the dough and prevent the formation of a continuous gluten structure. It was also found that the necessary rheological properties are provided by adding 4–5% of crushed flax seeds to the dough recipe, while increasing the amount to 6% and above leads to a deterioration in organoleptic characteristics.

An Efficient Micropropagation Protocol For Mucuna Pruriens (L.) Dc.
Authors: Karim MR , Bhadra SK , Rahman MM
Published: May 2024

An efficient protocol was developed for rapid micropropagation of Mucuna pruriens (L.) DC., an important medicinal plant species of Bangladesh. For the purpose, leaf segments, nodal segments and shoot apices of in vitro grown seedlings and cotyledon segments of immature seeds of field grown plants were cultured on agar solidified MS medium supplemented with different combinations of PGRs (Plant Growth Regulators). Only leaf and cotyledon segments produced light green to green friable/ compact callus in some of the media combinations. Combination and concentration of PGRs played important role in induction of such tissue. The induced tissues failed to differentiate on further culture in a wider spectrum of PGR supplemented media. On the other hand nodal segments and shoot apices produced multiple shoot buds when grown on a wide range of PGRs (BAP, NAA, IAA, Kn) supplemented media. Maximum number of multiple shoot buds were produced in medium containing 1.5 mg/l BAP + 1.0 mg/l IAA. The elongated shoot buds on further culture in rooting media produced strong and stout root systems. Half strength MS media fortified with either 1.0 mg/l IAA or 2.0 mg/l IAA was most effective for induction and proliferation of roots. These complete plantlets were successfully acclimatized and established in outside pots through a successive phase of acclimatization.

Educational Transformation: Refocusing Research, Innovation, Technology Integration and Social Inclusion – An Editorial
Authors: Habib Md Ahsan , Rahaman Muhammed Mahbubur , Wahiduzzaman M
Published: May 2024

In the post-pandemic era, the world simultaneously witnessed a rapid move towards technological integration and global interconnectedness, alongside social-economic disparities and setbacks. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific progress extended beyond the healthcare industry and encompassed various domains of knowledge, including education. The pandemic accelerated the incorporation of ICT in education, an area that had lagged behind other sectors. Conversely, digital integration generates a disparity in knowledge acquisition between individuals who possess access to it and those who do not. This experience serves as a reminder that a considerable number of communities globally remain behind in terms of socioeconomic development and access to digital resources. This trend is especially evident in the global south, where the integration of numerous global educational innovations and approaches may further isolate an already marginalized community by failing to account for contextual factors. Providing this complexity of introducing innovative efforts to education, it is imperative to refocus contextual educational paradigms, employing a multimodal approach that intertwines research, innovation, technology integration, and social inclusion. The purpose of this editorial is to emphasize the importance of an all-encompassing educational approach that not only equips students for the challenges of the future but also cultivates a just, inventive, and resilient society. A total of 11 papers were selected to be published in this issue, which examines four significant domains of educational transformation: the integration of technology, innovative approaches, research in education, and the representation of perspectives from underrepresented groups in education. The increasing integration of technology in the field of education is evident in the articles that discuss ICT, media usage, and visual materials. Two papers revisit inquiry-based science instruction and school-home partnerships as educational strategies. Two publications centered on teachers' practice and intention research and action research exemplify the recent shift towards involving teachers in research activities, both in higher education and at the classroom level. Three additional papers investigate the perspectives of students and underprivileged groups who are often overlooked in the development of education procedures and policies. This journal issue, thus, represents the current focus, endeavors, and implementation of education across several educational disciplines.

Cigarette smoke is a source of air pollution, especially indoors. The smoke from burning cigarettes doesn't just evaporate into the air, but there is nicotine residue that sticks to the dust or items around the smoker, such as clothes, carpets, walls. A smoke filter or smoke particulate filter is something that is really needed to reduce pollutants in the room. Research on "Testing Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP) Cigarette Smoke Particulate Filters with Copper and Aluminum Electrodes" aims to analyze the comparison of the use of copper and aluminum electrodes as filters on ESP. In this research, a high voltage DC generator was used using the full-wave cascade method, for the high voltage that was successfully generated by this full-wave cascade method was 2.25 kV to 5.46 kV. From the test results, it was found that the difference in (∆ levels between the inlet and outlet containers (∆ using a copper plate was higher than using an aluminum plate. In addition, it can be concluded that increasing the voltage causes more (∆ levels to be filtered.

A DFT-D investigation of the energetic and structural aspects of dehydrogenation of methanol on a bimetallic surface PtGe(110) exploring the germanium effect on the anti-poisoning of pt(110) catalytic activity
Authors: Hassak Abdellatif , Ghailane Rachida
Published: May 2024

Platinum is the most active pure metal for dehydrogenating methanol to create hydrogen, which is crucial for fuel cells. However, one significant disadvantage that reduces the effectiveness and long-term performance of platinum catalysts is their susceptibility to CO poisoning. In the current study, we examine and elucidate the promotional impact of Ge on Pt catalysts with increased resistance to deactivation by CO poisoning. We do this by combining partial density of states calculations with electronic configuration and Mulliken atomic charges. The self-consistent periodic density functional theory with dispersion correction (DFT-D) was used to investigate the methanol adsorption and dehydrogenation mechanisms on the surface of PtGe (110). On the surface, several adsorption mechanisms of pertinent intermediates were found. Furthermore, a thorough analysis of a reaction network comprising four reaction paths revealed that, in terms of activation barriers, the first O—H bond scission of CH3OH appears to be more advantageous than C—H bond cleavage on the PtGe(110) surface. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that the main route on the PtGe(110) surface is CH3OH→CH3O→CH2O→CHO→CO evolution. The remarkable differences in the predominant reaction pathway on the Pt(110) surface, and PtGe(110) surface indicate that the Ge-doped Pt Nano catalyst is more selective and resistant to deactivation.

Authors: Alkaya Yıldız Ceylan , Erkan Sultan
Published: May 2024

In this study, 2-benzylidene-1-indanone and its derivatives, which is a chalcone compound and contains indanone in its structure, were examined. Quantum chemical parameters for these compounds were calculated with the B3LYP method and the 6-31G(d) basis set and evaluated for their biological activity. The effect of different functional groups (F, Cl, Br, CF3, CH3 and OCH3) attached to the 2-benzylidene-1-indanone compound on biological activity was investigated. Some quantum chemical parameters such as highest energy filled molecule orbital energy (EHOMO), lowest non-bonding empty molecule orbital energy (ELUMO), energy gap (ΔE), hardness (η), softness (σ), global molecular electrophilicity (ω) index, global molecular nucleophilicity (ɛ) index, electron-accepting (ω+) and electron-donating (ω-) electrophilicity index were calculated for the biological activities of the compounds. Frontier molecular orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps were interpreted. The biological activities of 2-benzylidine-1-indanone and some of its derivatives bearing the 1-indanone skeleton were evaluated by performing molecular docking studies with the target protein PDB ID = 1HJD corresponding to the melanoma cell line. The activity ranking obtained with quantum chemical parameters was found to be compatible with the binding energies obtained from docking results.

Published: May 2024

A esporotricose, uma doença fúngica causada pelo Sporothrix e afetando tanto humanos quanto felinos, é comumente tratada com Itraconazol oral por períodos prolongados, porém a crescente resistência ao antifúngico decorrente de interrupções no tratamento tem sido observada. Diante desse cenário, os óleos essenciais e extratos de plantas surgem como potenciais alternativas terapêuticas mais eficazes em comparação aos fármacos existentes. O objetivo desta revisão é oferecer uma visão abrangente e atualizada sobre óleos e extratos vegetais contra cepas de Sporothrix spp., que possam contribuir futuramente para o desenvolvimento de terapias mais eficazes e seguras para essa importante zoonose. Os estudos in vitro avaliaram a ação fungistática pela determinação da Concentração Inibitória Mínima (CIM) e a ação fungicida pela determinação da Concentração Fungicida Mínima (CFM), este ultimo incluindo estudos de viabilidade celular. Os estudos in vivo em modelo animal, no geral determinaram a redução dos sintomas da doença e carga fúngica, remissão dos sintomas clínicos e disseminação do fungo para órgãos. Os estudos analisados indicaram que esses compostos vegetais têm potencial eficácia contra o fungo, especialmente para as cepas de S. brasiliensis e S. schenckii, entretanto é necessário uma padronização metodológica para comparação adequada dos resultados. Em geral, a utilização futura destes antifúngicos naturais em formulações orais ou tópicas pode representar um avanço significativo no tratamento da esporotricose felina, minimizando suas complicações.
A Comparison of WaveNet and XGBoost for traditional direct wave propagation and seismic inversion using horizontal layer models

Published: May 2024

The application of machine learning in geophysics has steeply increased in the last decade, with the quality of its results varying according to the type of seismic problem in focus and the employed computational method. Deep Learning methods are achieving impressive results in this area, but we note that there is still a lack of certainty on whether classical machine learning methods can provide similar results. In the present paper, the objective was to attempt to fill part of that gap, by comparing a well-known non-DL machine-learning method with a DL method for the direct wave propagation and the seismic inversion problems for 2D horizontally-layered models. Both methods are evaluated in different scenarios, but under similar conditions, so that it is possible to understand the effect of parameter configuration on their final results. The dataset has 20,000 samples, each consisting of three vectors: a velocity vector with 236 values (representing a vertical profile of a randomly generated 2D layered model), a reflective vector with 600 values obtained directly from the velocity vector, and the associated seismogram vector with 11 traces, each containing 600 values. The overall results show that the WaveNet produces a lower Mean Squared Error between predicted and correct outputs than that of XGBoost. One challenge yet not dealt with is that the WaveNet can train well in GPU, but we did not succeed in doing the same with the XGBoost, due to the amount of data to be processed.

Published: May 2024

The increasing resistance of microorganisms against antibiotics puts at risk the human being. This event requires urgently developing strategies for producing alternative antibacterial agents. The combination of green silver nanoparticles (reduced by essential oil) and molybdenum disulfide can be synergistically explored given the interaction of components. Herein, it is reported the response of isolated and combined components with resulting outstanding kinetics of kill-time (complete elimination of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after four hours of contact), effective action against biofilm formation (~99% of inhibition in the biofilm formation). These results confirm that the intercalation of silver nanoparticles between exfoliated sheets of MoS2 represents a promising strategy to develop efficient antibacterial agents against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Gempa dengan magnitudo 5,6 SR mengguncang Kabupaten Cianjur Provinsi Jawa Barat pada hari Senin 21 Nopember 2022 jam 13.21 WIB. Gempa tersebut tidak saja menyebabkan kerusakan bangunan rumah tinggal tetapi juga menimbulkan bencana longsor di area-area yang sangat vital dan padat penduduk. Patahan yang terjadi pada jalur lempengan sebelah timur di Desa Sarampad berupa pergeseran tanah yang relatif cukup panjang. Pergeseran tanah secara fisik akibat patahan tampak terlihat dari pergeseran di Desa Sarampad dimana posisi gubuk di ladang yang berpindah sangat jauh dari posisi semula. Demikian juga tanah longsor yang terjadi di wilayah tapal kuda ruas jalan nasional antara Kota Cianjur ke Puncak dengan kemiringan longsoran tanah sekitar yang cukup curam pada lereng bagian atas jalan raya dan menerus ke bagian bawah lereng yang berada di sisi jalan raya mengarah ke sungai dibawah permukaan jalan raya. Adanya sungai menjadi indikasi bahwa terdapat lapisan air yang dekat dengan permukaan tanah yang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat dan asrama tentara yang dekat lokasi tersebut.  Kondisi ini mengakibatkan tanah jenuh air sehingga menjadi faktor penyebab mudah longsor jika terjadi gempa. Longsor pada punggung bukit diatas jalan raya sudah diperkuat dengan perkuatan bronjong batu yang diletakkan dengan system terasering. Sedangkan longsor dibawah jalan raya belum dilakukan perkuatan. Selain itu patahan yang terjadi di ruas jalan secara melintang pada badan jalan yang dekat dengan tapal kuda dengan kontur berkelok kelok sangat perlu ditangani secara serius

Abstract
The concept of waste reduction (reduce), recycling or reusing (reuse/recycle), and safe disposal (dispose) is highly crucial in mitigating waste pollution today. The Community Service activity carried out at SMP Advent Tompaso through socialization and a creative waste recycling competition themed "Reduce Wasted and Save The Earth" underscores the importance of these principles. The enthusiasm of the students to learn about waste recycling methods in their environment, which can hold significant economic and market value, is evident. Furthermore, the participation of each class, sending their teams to compete in every contest, demonstrates their active involvement. From the two contests, namely the fashion show and waste recycling craft competition, it is apparent that each student possesses high levels of creativity. Plastic and paper waste transformed into clothing showcased in the fashion show highlight the variety of designs created. Meanwhile, the crafting of plastic waste into flower-shaped handicrafts demonstrates both economic and market value. Through the dissemination of information and the competitions, the hope is that students will not only become more environmentally conscious but also actively contribute to mitigating the impacts of global warming. They are encouraged not to dispose of waste recklessly but instead to start sorting waste in their surroundings, thus contributing to the preservation of the world and their immediate environment.

DESAIN PENGEMBANGAN RUANG PUBLIK TERPADU RAMAH ANAK (RPTRA) DI KOMPLEKS KANTOR KELURAHAN KRAMATJATI JAKARTA TIMUR
Authors: Sudarwani Margareta Maria
Published: May 2024

In the Kramatjati Sub-District Office Complex, there is an Integrated Child-Friendly Public Space (RPTRA) built on a vacant land formerly occupied by a soy sauce factory. RPTRA Mustika Kramatjati has successfully revitalized the area, preventing urban decay that could lead to the emergence of slums, abandonment, and increased crime rates. However, due to population growth, this RPTRA faces limitations in accommodating activities, and its densely packed schedule leads to insufficient maintenance. Therefore, redesign or reengineering is necessary to make this RPTRA more effective in facilitating community activities and providing comfort. In this collaborative program, The Faculty of Engineering of Architecture UKI partners with stakeholders to propose a redesign of RPTRA as the primary solution to address these issues. It is hoped that this Community Service Team can make a tangible contribution to optimizing the RPTRA's function in accordance with the established RPTRA Management Guidelines. This initiative involves field observations, data collection, design presentations to stakeholders, and engages professors and students from the Architecture Program at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Kristen Indonesia, as a contribution to the community in the field of architecture.

Pemilu merupakan kependekan dari pemilihan umum, yaitu suatu proses demokrasi dimana warga negara memilih pemimpin dan wakilnya melalui pemungutan suara. Seringkali partisipasi masyarakat sebagai pemilih masih belum optimal dan perlu dioptimalkan. Pada pemilu 2024 perlu dilakukan sosialisasi pemeriksaan DPT online di desa, karena seringkali masyarakat di desa belum begitu memahami teknologi dan masih adanya kesenjangan akses terhadap teknologi informasi di Indonesia. Untuk itu, untuk meningkatkan partisipasi pemilih dapat dilakukan upaya dengan membuat program “Optimalisasi Partisipasi Pemilih Melalui Sosialisasi Panduan Verifikasi Daftar Pemilihan Tetap (DPT) Online”.

Peningkatan kualitas tata kelola pemerintahan, diukur melalui Indeks Reformasi Birokrasi, menjadi fokus utama dalam memperbaiki perekonomian daerah. Salah satu strategi yang diadopsi adalah meningkatkan Maturitas Penyelenggaraan Sistem Pengendalian Intern Pemerintah (SPIP) oleh Pemerintah Daerah. Pemerintah Kabupaten Bekasi menghadapi tantangan dalam implementasi manajemen risiko sesuai mandat Pasal 13 ayat (1) Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 60 Tahun 2008. Pemahaman komprehensif mengenai manajemen risiko diperlukan oleh perangkat daerah untuk mendukung efektivitas SPIP. Meskipun Pemerintah Kabupaten Bekasi telah mencapai Predikat Level 2 untuk Maturitas SPIP, area perbaikan utama terletak pada manajemen risiko. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, pelatihan dan sosialisasi dilakukan pada tahun 2023, namun hanya terbatas pada perangkat daerah tingkat Dinas/Badan dan belum menyentuh Kecamatan.
Metode yang digunakan meliputi ceramah, demonstrasi, latihan/praktik, dan prosedur kerja. Pelaksanaan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) berhasil di Kantor Pemerintah Kabupaten Bekasi dengan peserta dari 23 Kecamatan. PkM mencakup pre-test, pemberian materi manajemen risiko dan SPIP terintegrasi, post-test, dan pemberian sertifikat kepada peserta. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman dari rata-rata nilai pre-test 3.33 menjadi post-test 5.47. Kesimpulannya, PkM ini berhasil memberikan kontribusi signifikan dengan melibatkan tim PkM UKI, Inspektorat Daerah, dan PT Klase Auto Rental (KAR) sebagai mitra pendukung.

Literasi Anti Hoaks dan Sosialisasi Pelaksanaan Pemilu 2024 pada Generasi Z melalui Webinar
Authors: Tobing Melati Mediana
Published: May 2024

The fierce competition between political parties and legislative candidates tends to use various methods to win the 2024 elections, including using fake news or hoaxes. Generation Z, who have no experience in conducting general elections, are trapped in a spiral of information on various social media platforms, making it difficult to make their choices and leading to irrational voters and "abstentions". The webinar for digital natives who are fluent in communicating via digital media was carried out 5 days before the 2024 election. The aim was for novice voters as webinar participants to play an active role by becoming anti-hoax agents and being able to convey the procedures for implementing the 2024 election. The webinar method includes public education through presentation of resource material, training in the form of intensive questions and answers, also mediation in the form of quizzes with prizes and filling out questionnaires. Post-test results on 52 participants who filled out the Google form showed that they had made their choice during the webinar and often read news about the 2024 Election. All respondents admitted that they accessed information from digital and electronic media and none used print media. Interestingly, 54% of respondents have the intention in getting involved in politics. Through an open questionnaire, it was discovered that Gen-z respondents had positive hopes for the election winners and future Indonesian leaders.
Narasi Diskriminatif Pascakonflik pada Masyarakat Kristen

Konflik di Maluku tahun 1999 meninggalkan bekas luka yang bertahan hingga 20 tahun. Fenomena ini tercermin dalam narasi masyarakat pascakonflik secara langsung yang terdapat dalam perbincangan masyarakat sehari-hari. Selama 20 tahun bertahan di Ambon sebagai pengungsi, masyarakat Kayeli mengalami berbagai macam pengalaman (baik pengalaman kekerasan maupun damai). Perjuangan yang dihadapi pengungsi Kayeli menggambarkan kerusakan yang terjadi akibat konflik berkaitan dengan pola-pola relasi komunal sekian tahun setelah perang selesai. Kondisi ini sayangnya tidak cukup mendapat perhatian dalam kajian tentang masyarakat pascakonfik. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perjuangan komunitas pengungsi sebagai kelompok masyarakat rentan yang hidup dengan narasi kekerasan pascakonflik di Ambon. Tulisan ini didasarkan pada data dari hasil wawancara mendalam terhadap delapan informan pengungsi Kayeli pada tahun 2023. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman konflik yang digambarkan dalam kelompok ini menggambarkan diskriminasi dan perjuangan dalam hubungan komunal di daerah baru tempat mereka dimukimkan kembali dari desa-desa mereka yang dilanda perang. Tulisan ini menguraikan tanggapan para pengungsi terhadap narasi konflik berdasarkan keyakinan Kristen yang mereka anut. Berbagai tanggapan tersebut merupakan cara komunitas pengungsi terus menjalani kehidupannya dengan mengatasi narasi-narasi diskriminatif di komunitas baru mereka.
