Published: August 2023

Asset management in Indonesia still poses problems in terms of securing state-owned property. These concerns make it difficult for analysts to predict laboratory equipment depreciation. Therefore, this research aims to create a new model to address this issue. Additionally, to support laboratory managers in gaining insights, a technology-based framework in the form of a laboratory equipment depreciation prediction model has been developed. A new model has been created in this research, which integrates supervised learning models with linear regression algorithms, and subsequently employs a waterfall system development approach. The testing results of the model for predicting laboratory equipment depreciation showed a high level of accuracy, reaching 93%. Furthermore, the comparison between the prediction model and the laboratory equipment data tested directly by technicians demonstrated an accuracy rate of 100%. Finally, the numerical results demonstrate that our framework provides a valuable solution to the difficulties in predicting laboratory equipment depreciation, offering an innovative and practical approach to laboratory equipment maintenance.

Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Gülbahar , KELEBEK GİRGİN Nermin
Published: August 2023

Objectives: Limited data is available regarding nutrition practices for patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who are also receiving veno-venous-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). The aim of the study was to describe the nutritional status of patients receiving VV-ECMO and compared with those who did not. Methods: Patients (>18 years-old) diagnosed with ARDS who received VV-ECMO (≥72 hours) were included in this retrospective study. The daily achievement of an energy target (%) and average protein intake during 2 weeks after initiation of VV-ECMO were calculated. Adequate feeding was defined as achieving 80-110% of the calculated target. The duration before initiating parenteral (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN), feeding route, length of intensive care, and hospital stay were evaluated. Data was compared between groups. Results: In this study, 24 patients were included, of whom 12 received VV-ECMO. EN was started in a median 1.5 and 1 days in the VV-ECMO and non-ECMO groups, respectively. In the VV-ECMO group, 75% of the patients could achieve nutritional adequacy (>80% energy goal) and 83.3% in the non-ECMO group (p = 0.615). PN being required in 4 (33.3%) patients who received VV-ECMO and 3 (25%) patients who did not (p = 0254). Ten of all patients experienced inadequate EN because of hemodynamic instability (n = 3), prone position (n=4), gastric distension (n = 2) and diarrhea (n = 1). Conclusions: VV-ECMO was not an obstacle for adequate nutrition, but prone position and hemodynamic instability were common causes of enteral feeding interruptions and inadequate energy delivery.

Approximate determination of losses in characteristic velocity and increments in flight altitude of the multistage launch vehicle upper stages
Authors: Mukhamedov L.P. , Kirievskii D.A.
Published: August 2023

An important role is assigned to design-ballistic calculations at the initial stage of developing a new type of the launch vehicle. Results of such calculations are a necessary condition in solving a more general multidimensional boundary value problem of the ballistic design. It should be noted that ballistic conditions determine the design-ballistic parameters ratio to solve the boundary value problem, and its algorithms could be used as components of the higher-level optimization problems. In order to save computer time, development of the so-called fast algorithms implemented using the analytical approaches to solving a ballistic problem becomes expedient. In the logical chain of calculation dependencies making part of the ballistic calculation algorithms, the main are those relations that connect losses in the characteristic velocity with the design and ballistic parameters. They are understood as the minimum set of parameters that uniquely determine the rocket trajectory. Analytical calculated dependences of the characteristic velocity losses and of the flight altitude increments on the design-ballistic parameters of the second and third stages of three-stage launch vehicles were derived.
Compression rate influence on the internal combustion engine efficiency
Authors: Agalarov J.H. , Hasanova T.J.
Published: August 2023

Nowadays, engines with the adjustable compression ratio are not used, which apparently could be explained by their design complexity. However, the known twin-shaft machines could be introduced without significant complications. Thus, a decrease in the engine efficiency at the increased crankshaft speed could be compensated by the compression ratio. The paper presents results of calculating efficiency and fuel consumption at the compression ratio of 8.6 and crankshaft speed of 2000 and 4000 min–1, as well as at the compression ratio of 13 and rotation speed of 4000 min–1 for the combustion character indicators equal to 3 and 1. It shows the indicated characteristics approximation at the higher rotation frequency to those at the lower rotation frequency with the increased compression. The engine parameters for various modes based on the Wiebe theory previously calculated made it possible to determine efficiency and fuel consumption for the corresponding engine operating modes.

Authors: Lustenkov M.E. , Lustenkova E.S.
Published: August 2023

The paper considers issues of creating multipliers for the medium power wind generators. It proposes a basic kinematic diagram of the multiplier mechanism based on the spherical ball gear. The satellite makes a spherical motion during the gear operation, and the intermediate rolling elements mounted on the satellite in two rows are moving along the drive shaft and the housing sleeve treads. The gear under study makes it possible to realize large values of the gear ratios and speed multiplication factors with small overall dimensions and weight, respectively. An algorithm was developed for theoretical determination of the gear average efficiency in the reducer and multiplier modes depending on its geometric parameters and friction coefficients. The paper studies influence of the multiplier coefficient transfer, difference in the number of balls in the satellite rows and friction coefficient on the efficiency. Computer simulation results of the gear operation were received in the NX system, which confirmed the obtained theoretical dependencies.

Published: August 2023

The relevance of research in the development of activated carbon materials with a high specific surface area and porosity, which can be used as materials for the separation or storage of various liquid and gaseous media, is shown. A plurality of approaches to the implementation of the activation process is noted, characterized mainly by the accumulation of experimental data and laboratory studies. The process of high-temperature activation of carbon material was studied using the synergistic effect of two activators on the activated material. The features of the flow of this process and the relationship between the regime parameters and the design of the equipment are established. The characteristics of the obtained activated carbon material, namely the parameters of the specific surface area and porosity, are analyzed. Solutions are proposed aimed at reducing the ambiguity in the design of hardware and technological design of the high-temperature activation process.

Published: August 2023

To increase the oil recovery factor, the bottom-hole pressure is reduced, which is accompanied by an increase in the free gas and mechanical impurities content at the pump inlet. As a rule, the serial equipment is not providing reliable and efficient operation in such conditions. In oil producing wells with the high free gas content, efficiency of the multiphase modules blade stages could be increased by correct selection of the serial equipment and introduction of the new design solutions. The paper analyzes specifics of the gas-liquid mixture flow in the flow path of the blade multiphase stages pumping the gas-liquid mixtures. Recommendations are provided for improving the flow path taking into account the multiphase specific speed coefficient formula. It is proposed to use the multiphase coefficient along with the cavitation specific speed coefficient in development of the blade pumps operating under the steam cavitation conditions.

Evolution of Tax Purpose and the Relevance of Property Right Institution for Taxation on Forest
Authors: Yusen Tan
Published: August 2023

In the year of 2015, China as a country whose total forest area ranked the 5th in the world and whose total forest area increased the most rapidly in the world during recent years, China’s forestry taxation is undoubtedly noteworthy. This paper studies the major changes in forest taxation purpose in varying phases including the period of transmitting from an agricultural country to an industrialized country, which could provide valuable reference to some developing countries who are still undergoing the transmission from an agricultural country to an industrial country. In ancient China, the major purpose of charging taxes on forests was to collect tax revenue; subsequent to the founding of the PRC but prior to its industrialization, the main purpose of forest taxation was to balance the land allocation between grain production and forestry production; in recent years of post-industrialization, in order to deal with the pollution caused by industrialization and urbanization, the major purpose of charging negative forestry tax, such as initiating some public expenditure projects in forestation and granting some fiscal subsidies to forestry are to make use of forest’s ecological function in environmental protection. This paper also provides reference to transitional economies which are experiencing the transformation from planned economy to market economy in the perspective of reforming their forest property right institutions and formulating forestry tax policies compatible with the complexity of varying forest property rights.

Tierra, territorio y autonomía: los gobiernos territoriales autónomos en la Amazonía Peruana
Authors: Balbuena Palacios Patricia
Published: August 2023

Las organizaciones indígenas nacieron con una demanda que hasta hoy sigue siendo la espina dorsal de su agenda: proteger sus tierras y recursos naturales como garantía para su subsistencia. La respuesta estatal fue la de crear la figura de comunidades nativas que pasarían a ser la concreción territorial fragmentada de cada pueblo indígena de la Amazonía; figura similar a las comunidades campesinas, pero estas tenían como antecedente las delimitaciones de los reductos coloniales. Para crear comunidades nativas, hubo que concentrar a la población indígena, rompiendo patrones de asentamientos tradicionales. No obstante, todo ello fue aceptado, a cambio de garantías frente a las olas de migración y actividades como tala ilegal.El propósito de este artículo es mostrar cómo la respuesta estatal, a través del marco normativo que data de la Ley de Comunidades Nativas de 1974 y 1978, ya no es suficiente para cumplir el anhelo de los pueblos indígenas para proteger sus tierras y territorios. No se ha cumplido con la tarea de alinear la norma nacional al Convenio 169° de la OIT y tampoco a los estándares desarrollados por la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos. Las actividades ilegales crecen en la Amazonía, y los conflictos por superposiciones son fuente permanente de conflictos con terceros formales o ilegales. Ante esto, la respuesta de las organizaciones indígenas es recuperar la gobernanza de sus territorios, a través de dos estrategias: i) la titulación como pueblo indígena y ya no como comunidades; y ii) sobre esos territorios, la constitución de gobiernos territoriales autónomos. A la fecha, son 7 pueblos de los 5 los que han avanzado en ese proceso. El mismo es liderado por el pueblo Wampis y puede ser el inicio de una nueva etapa en la relación entre el Estado y los pueblos indígenas amazónicos, la cual no se puede ignorar, sino que debe ser abordada con carácter de urgencia, ya que está en juego no solo la subsistencia de los pueblos indígenas, sino también la biodiversidad y los ecosistemas de nuestra Amazonía, frente a los actores ilegales que aprovechan estas fragilidades para avanzar a pasos agigantados.

El “autoplagio” es una figura prevista en el ámbito académico y científico para describir la conducta de los autores consistente en “plagiarse a sí mismos”, algo que ocurriría cuando un autor publica una obra cuyo contenido coincide con el de otro trabajo del mismo autor ya publicado anteriormente, sin citar la obra anterior. A diferencia del plagio, el autoplagio no está regulado legislativamente, solo está previsto reglamentariamente a través de directrices de revistas científicas e instituciones educativas. Al respecto, se plantea en el presente artículo la posibilidad de regular legislativamente el autoplagio dentro de la normativa sobre derechos de autor, a fin de que los autores cuenten con un marco normativo claro que facilite su tarea de investigación y publicación.
Molecular Investigation on Expression Analysis of Tapping Panel Dryness (TPD) Syndrome Associated Genes in Rubber Tree (Hevea brasiliensis Muell.Arg.)
Authors: Irulappan Ganesh B. , Natesan Geetha , Padikasan Indra A.
Published: August 2023

Rubber clones especially high yielding clones (RRII 105, PCK2, PB 217, and GT 1) are considered to be susceptible to Tapping Panel Dryness (TPD) syndrome. The main objective of this study was to find the significance of TPD associated genes in rubber tree and their expression of mRNA transcript level by Real Time PCR and Semi-Quantitative RT-PCR. A total of 15 TPD associated candidate genes were screened by RT-real time PCR. Among these, 8 candidate genes were analysed by Semi-Quantitative RT-PCR. RT-real time PCR result revealed that among 15 genes screened, mRNA transcript level of 3 genes (TOM 20, TCTP, and Myb 1) was down-regulated significantly in various TPD affected clones of rubber tree compared to healthy and their expression pattern was altered in different rubber clones due to various degrees of TPD tolerance. Semi-Quantitative RT-PCR results proved a down-regulation of five genes (TOM 20, TCTP, Myb 1, ABC, and PT2) in the TPD tree in comparison to the healthy tree. The findings of this study confirmed that the mRNA transcript levels of the TOM 20, TCTP, and Myb 1 genes were significantly lower in various rubber clones that had been affected by TPD and also suggested that these genes may be crucial for the development of TPD, which results in impaired latex biosynthesis in rubber trees.

Authors: ÇATIKKAŞ Berna , ŞAHİNLER Özge
Published: August 2023

By employing the Scaled Quantum Mechanics Force Field (SQMFF) methodology, a comprehensive analysis was conducted to assign the vibrational spectra of three antimony (III) compounds, [1a-3a], that possess pyridine and pyrimidine ligands. The potential energy distribution (PED) was calculated and utilized to assign the IR spectra of the antimony (III) compounds. The theoretical frontier molecular orbital descriptors, the partial and total density of state distribution (TDOS, PDOS), molecular electronic potential surface map (MEP), nonlinear optical properties (NLO) of these complexes also were computed and investigated. The DFT/B3LYP/GEN (C, H, N, Cl: 6-31G(d,p) and Sb: LanL2DZ) level was utilized for all DFT calculations using the Gaussian 09W program. Furthermore, theoretical frontier molecular orbital descriptors, including electronegativity, chemical potential, softness, electrophilicity index, and electron affinity for six antimony (III) compounds were calculated ([1a/1b-3a/3b]). The results showed that, the ionization potential energy value of the [3a], which had the lowest experimental Leishmania activity, was also found to be the lowest among the others.

Published: August 2023

Aim: In males, obesity is characterized by features resembling those observed during aging, such as hypogonadism and cytokines imbalance, yet at an early age. A direct connection between the low-grade inflammatory state and sex steroid abnormalities has been proposed to explain the development of these conditions in obesity. Methods: We evaluated the relationship between sex hormones plasma levels and metabolic and inflammatory parameters in a cohort of patients with grade III obesity (n = 24, BMI 43.4 ± 8.5 kg/m2) undergoing bariatric surgery. Furthermore, we assessed the in vitro effects of testosterone exposure on the expression of markers of adiposity such as FABP-4, PPARγ, leptin, and adiponectin in human-derived adipocytes. Results: A direct correlation was observed between BMI and hsCRP (P < 0.05), while testosterone plasma levels showed a statistically significant inverse correlation with hsCRP, but also with HOMA index, leptin, and von Willebrand factor concentrations (P < 0.05). In human-derived adipocytes, testosterone exposure promotes a reduction in the gene expression of adiposity markers, which is inhibited by co-exposure with the antiandrogen flutamide. Conclusion: Our study shows a relationship between testosterone plasma levels and markers of inflammation in severe obesity, with testosterone exposure affecting adiposity biomarkers expression in humans. In light of these results, hypogonadism should be promptly identified in male patients with obesity and timely treated to reduce the burden of the disease.

The uneven distribution of superior human resources, which alienates some communities and contributes to the issue of business management literacy in SMEs, is one of the obstacles to community development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of community empowerment through literacy-based entrepreneurship management training. With a sample of 98 participants, this study use participatory action research (PAR). To select training participants, sampling method is purposive sampling with the criteria used: (1) Indonesian Manpower (TKI) who no longer work abroad; (2) Existing micro or small business owners; and (3) Trainees who have been mentored for at least one year. Methods of question and answer, observation, or questionnaires are used to obtain the data including focus group discussion (FGD), in-depth interviews, and strategies for exchanging stories, and pretest and post-test; behavioral analysis and participatory assessment analysis using percentages and likert scales; and data analysis of training success. This study is new because it explores specifically how to organize, execute, and value manufacturing innovation, inventive marketing, financial management, administrative control, financial reporting, teamwork, and business networking. It was determined that this training is helpful in increasing participants' awareness to fall into the very good category and increasing their knowledge and abilities. This finding is consistent with the notion of resource mobilization in support of human empowerment and human resource development theory, which argues that training is a process of improvement to deal with dynamic change.

The current weakness of various dimensions of service quality measurement scales that have been adopted in measuring the level of student service satisfaction at HE is often an obstacle to understanding weaknesses in the quality of HE service. This study aims to investigate the level of student service satisfaction based on the HEISQUAL synthesis combined with the ACSI, IPA, and PGCV methods as a holistic approach to determine priorities for continuous improvement. The integration of these three methods is very appropriate to answer the needs of HE in improving the quality of its services. The data in this study were obtained by distributing questionnaires to respondents with a sample size of 320 students using a convenience sampling technique (non-probability sampling). The results of this study indicate that HE service satisfaction is in the satisfied criteria, where 6 sub-dimensions are in quadrant A, 5 sub-dimensions are in quadrant B, 1 sub-dimension is in quadrant C, and 4 sub-dimensions are in quadrant D. From this analysis, the priority order of improvement are 1) ET, 2) LWE, 3) LF, 4) ECA, 5) C&M, 6) BTS. Through the HEISQUAL – ACSI – IPA – PGCV synthesis, HE can understand and determine well-accelerated strategic and practical policies.

Authors: Nugroho Dwi
Published: August 2023

This study intends to observe and investigate the increased activity of Muslim women (housewives) as entrepreneurs, the influence of women entrepreneurs on the family economy, and community (NGo) contributions to empowering women, mentorship, education, and expanding capacities. In a qualitative study employing a phenomenological approach, information was gathered by observing and interviewing six members of the empowerment community (two of whom were the initial initiators) and five women (housewives). Meanwhile, documentation studies are optimized in order to deepen the data analysis outcomes. Data from primary sources were evaluated and validated using triangulation techniques. The results reveal that, first and foremost, entrepreneurship is a new economic activity for Muslim women (housewives). Second, women entrepreneurs working together in a culinary tourism destination have a favorable impact on the family's economic well-being. Third, the community's presence (NGo) in developing women entrepreneurs' knowledge, capacities, and competencies in the notion of empowerment is the foundation for the transformation of women into entrepreneurs. The Payungi community serves as a role model for empowerment by optimizing the existence of a religious space, the Entrepreneurial Pesantren, as a space for women's education. The empowerment process pushes women to continuously develop their capabilities, such as optimizing social media, smartphone applications, and product branding content. This study requires additional research in order to acquire more comprehensive results by taking into account the opinions of academia, the media, and the greater business. This research becomes a proposal for government institutions and non-governmental organizations, which is empowering or want to empower.

This article compares Abu 'Ubaid Al-Qasim and Adam Smith’s thought on international trade. Abu ‘Ubaid argued that the role government in international trade is needed to ensure that the laws in Holy Qur'an and Sunnah are implemented. According to Adam Smith, the roles government  is not necessary. Trade capitalism in Smith's thought of improving a country's economy in trade between nations, by removing tariffs and non-tariffs to increase aggregate sales without concern for its own economic goals, that is to achieve prosperity for society. In contrary, Abu 'Ubaid argued the importance of a fair economy for society. This article shows that Abu 'Ubaid's thought provides more certainty for realizing the goals of economic development and creating social welfare. –(Artikel ini membandingkan pandangan Abu ‘Ubaid Al-Qasim dan Adam Smith berkaitan dengan perdagangan internasional. Abu ‘Ubaid Al-Qasim berpandangan bahwa intervensi pemerintah dalam perdagangan internasional  sangat dibutuhkan untuk memastikan hukum-hukum dalam Al-Qur'an dan Sunnah dijalankan.  Sedangkan menurut Adam Smith, peran pemerintah dalam konsep ekspor dan impor di dalam perdagangan internasional harus diminimalisir bahkan sampai pada posisi tidak diperlukan. Kapitalisme perdagangan dalam pemikiran Smith untuk meningkatkan perekonomian suatu negara dalam perdagangan antar bangsa, dengan menghapus berbagai hambatan tarif dan non tarif untuk meningkatkan penjualan yang agregat tanpa memperhatikan tujuan ekonomi itu sendiri, yaitu mencapai kesejahteraan bagi masyarakat. Pandangan ini berbeda dengan Abu ‘Ubaid yang mengarahkan perdagangan international untuk menciptakan sistem ekonomi yang adil bagi masyarakat. Artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa pemikiran Abu ‘Ubaid Al-Qasim lebih memberikan kepastian untuk mewujudkan tujuan pembangunan ekonomi dan menciptakan kesejahteraan sosial.)— Keywords: International trade, export and import, Abu ‘Ubaid Al-Qasim, Adam Smith
Praktek Kekerasan Simbolik (Relasi Guru dan Peserta Didik dalam Pendidikan Islam)
Authors: Putri Rina Oktafia
Published: August 2023

Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan tentang terjadinya praktek kekerasan simbolik dalam relasi guru dan peserta didik khususnya di dunia pendidikan Islam. Praktek kekerasan simbolik tidak terlepas dari dinamika pendidikan di Indonesia, karena tidak ada  dalam  proses pembelajaran yang berlangsung dengan baik tanpa adanya upaya pendisplinan. Selanjutnya kekerasan simbolik sama halnya dengan dominasi simbolik di mana penindasan dengan menggunakan simbol-simbol (sloganistik, sederhana, populer,). Penindasan ini tidak dirasakan sebagai penindasan antara guru dan peserta didik, tetapi sebagai sesuatu yang secara normal perlu dilakukan. Artinya, penindasan tersebut telah mendapatkan persetujuan dari pihak yang ditindas itu sendiri. Adapun bentuk relasi ini dipandang wajar sebagai hal yang seharusnya terjadi antara guru dan peserta didik dan  hal  ini  sangat  perlu diwaspadai karena kekerasan simbolik melekat di ranah pendidikan dan hal tersebut berlangsung di lingkungan sekolah.
Konsep Pendidikan Islam Berwawasan Kerukunan pada Masyarakat Multikultural
Authors: Nugroho Muhammad Aji , Ni’mah Khoiriyatun
Published: August 2023

Islam menganjurkan manusia untuk bekerja sama dan tolong menolong (ta’awun) dengan sesama manusia dalam hal kebaikan. Dalam kehidupan sosial kemasyarakatan umat Islam dapat berhubungan dengan siapa saja tanpa batasan ras, bangsa, dan agama. Namun proses tersebut dalam realisasinya mengalami banyak kendala, seperti Fundalisme, Radikalisme, Terorisme. Sikap Islam sebagai agama rahmatan lil alamin sangatlah humanis dan relevan, tidak menggadaikan hal yang profan sebagai keyakinan yang dimiliki penganutnya, akan tetapi juga tidak meninggalkan nilai nilai universal sebagai pesan agama untuk senantiasa menjaga kedamaian antar sesama umat manusia, dengan menumbuhkan Toleransi, Membangun Solidaritas, Menegakkan Demokrasi, Menghindari Fanatisme dalam Beragama. Maka pendidikan Islam berwawasan kerukunan adalah pendidikan yang mampu menjadikan perbedaannya sebagai alat untuk semakin menjadi pribadi yang taat dan tidak keluar dari fitrahnya, yaitu dengan mengajarkan bagaimana cara hidup ditengah pluralitas bangsanya, agar mereka mampu hidup, baik dalam internal kelompoknya maupun eksternal kelompok lain, dapat hidup damai dengan lingkungannya, memaknai perbedaan yang secara bijaksana dan tepat. Hal ini terlihat dalam konsepnya yang: 1) berpijak pada konsep fitrah; 2) bersifat moderat; 3) mengusung misi kemanusiaan (humanisme); 4) Inklusif dalam beragama; 5) meyakini kemajemukan adalah sunnatullah & kebenaran bersifat privat dan universal; 6) mampu hidup berdampingan secara damai dan bekerjasama dengan pemeluk agama lain; 7) tumbuh sikap sportif dalam bersosialisasi dan hidup bersama kelompok lain; 8) mengelola perbedaan secara etis dan berkompetisi secara sehat; 9) jauh dari persepsi yang sempit yang diwujudkan dengan komunikasi yang sehat berdasarkan pengamatan dan pengertian terhadap perbedaan yang ada.
Merajut Ke-Indonesia-an yang Multikultural dalam Pandangan Gereja

Ada sejumlah nas Perjanjian Lama (PL) yang mengindikasikan sikap dan relasi terhadap yang lain (the others). Hubungan TUHAN (Yahweh) dengan allah-allah, yang dianut oleh bangsa- bangsa lain, Nabi Musa menyatakan dalam Ulangan 6:4, ‘Dengarlah, hai orang Israel: TUHAN itu Allah kita, TUHAN itu esa!’ Sikap dan relasi terhadap TUHAN ini terjadi dalam jangka waktu dan proses yang cukup lama. Bahwa Allah Israel adalah Allah bagi bangsa-bangsa, bukan allah suku. Keluaran 20:3, ‘Jangan ada padamu allah lain di hadapan-Ku.’ Pada awal pengenalan terhadap Allah ini, bangsa Israel cukup sukar untuk mengakui Allah mereka sebagai Allah yang esa. Hal ini karena Israel mensejajarkan posisi TUHAN (Yahweh) dengan ilah-ilah yang disembah oleh bangsa-bangsa lain. Nehemia mencatat pergumulan iman Israel atas Yahweh dalam pasal 9:17-18,
