Incidencia de fuegos en la Argentina durante las últimas dos décadas y su asociación con coberturas y usos del suelo en distintos contextos ambientales
Authors: Cavallero Laura , Peinetti Raúl , López Dardo R.
Published: October 2023

El uso del fuego ha impulsado grandes cambios en la cobertura de la tierra. Aunque la ocurrencia de fuegos está modulada por condiciones climáticas y por la disponibilidad de biomasa combustible, el ser humano ha modificado los regímenes históricos de fuego mediante diversos mecanismos. En muchos ambientes, las actividades antrópicas son las moduladoras principales del régimen moderno de fuego. En este estudio analizamos la incidencia de fuego en la Argentina entre 2000 y 2019. En particular, 1) caracterizamos la ocurrencia de fuego a nivel provincial y 2) evaluamos el patrón espacial de la superficie quemada (SQ); en las zonas donde se concentró la SQ, 3) describimos el clima y la vegetación, y 4) evaluamos si distintas coberturas/usos del suelo se asociaron con atributos del régimen moderno de fuego (frecuencia y extensión). Entre 2000 y 2019 se quemaron 47.84 Mha, que se concentraron en el centro-norte de la Argentina. En dicha área se diferenciaron cuatro zonas climáticas (subtropical-húmeda, subtropical, templada y templada-semiárida), seis unidades de vegetación (Chaqueña, Monte, Pampeana, Espinal, Yungas y Paranaense) y siete conglomerados de asociación espacial entre coberturas/usos de suelo y fuego. Los fuegos asociados al uso intensivo del suelo ocurrieron mayormente en las zonas subtropical y templada, con vegetación de las unidades Chaqueña y Espinal. Los relacionados con usos de baja intensidad se registraron sobre todo en las zonas subtropical-húmeda y templada-semiárida, con vegetación de las unidades Monte y Paranaense. En la mayoría de los casos, el fuego se usó para disminuir o eliminar la cobertura de especies nativas, leñosas o herbáceas con el objetivo de promover el crecimiento de especies cultivadas (cereales, oleaginosas) o forrajeras (implantadas o autóctonas), para favorecer la producción agrícola o ganadera. Por lo tanto, los resultados sugieren que la elevada incidencia de fuego en el centro de la Argentina se asocia al sistema productivo actual.
Dehydrated Human Amnion/Chorion Membrane Allograft for Postoperative Wounds Following Mohs Micrographic Surgery: A Retrospective Comparative Evaluation
Authors: Moradi Sadaf , Ormaza Ana , Ezra Navid
Published: October 2023

Introduction. Defects that remain after MMS cannot always be repaired immediately. When closure is not feasible, wounds are left to heal by secondary intention and may take weeks to close. In such cases, the use of an allograft that stimulates endogenous wound healing pathways may be desirable. Objective. This retrospective study assessed whether the use of dHACM allograft after MMS led to a statistically significant improvement in post-Mohs wound closure rates compared with secondary intention healing. Methods. This study evaluated 80 patients who underwent MMS and compared time to complete healing between wounds treated with dHACM allografts (n = 40) and wounds healed by secondary intention (n = 40). Wounds were assessed every 2 weeks, and photographs were taken. Statistical analysis was conducted. Results. Average time to complete wound healing was significantly reduced with the use of dHACM allograft compared with traditional secondary intention healing (5.2 weeks and 6.5 weeks, respectively; P = .01). Conclusion. The use of dHACM allograft resulted in more rapid wound healing, and this allograft is a potential alternative to traditional secondary intention healing methods. Further studies are needed to reinforce the results of this pilot study.

BAGAIMANA EKONOMI ISLAM MEMANDANG HUBUNGAN ANTARA PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI DAN PERUBAHAN IKLIM ? (STUDI KASUS: INDONESIA)
Authors: Luthfi Faishol
Published: October 2023

This study aims to examine the relationship between economic growth and climate change and how Islamic economics views this relationship. This study uses a quantitative approach with the analytical method used is Vector Autoregression (VAR). The data used in this study is Indonesia's country data for the period 1990 to 2018. The results of the study show that there is a unidirectional relationship between economic growth and climate change. This indicates that climate change, which is proxied through the amount of GHG, has affected economic growth. Climate change that has been happening for a long time due to human activities is starting to have an impact on the economic sector. Therefore, it is time for humans to be aware and think forward or visionary. Islam, through its various arguments, has explained the importance of environmental sustainability. Even more specifically, Islamic economics through the concept of hifdz al-'alam from Yusuf Qardhawi has explained the importance of preserving nature.
PENGARUH INDEKS PEMBANGUNAN MANUSIA TERHADAP TINGKAT KRIMINALITAS DI KALIMANTAN BARAT DALAM KERANGKA EKONOMI ISLAM
Authors: Ardelia Aya Sofia
Published: October 2023

This study aims to analyze the effect of the human development index on crime rates in West Kalimantan Province within the framework of Islamic economics. Quantitative approach is used in this research. The analytical method used is Panel Data Regression. The data used in this study is data on all regencies/cities in West Kalimantan Province for the period 2010 to 2016. The results of the study show that the best model for estimation in this study is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The influence of HDI on the crime rates shows a significant negative effect, which means that the higher the HDI, the lower the crime rates and vice versa. In addition, the HDI concept, which consists of 3 main dimensions, namely health, education and income, is very close to the maqashid sharia concept of Islamic economics, namely hifdzunnafs (safeguarding the soul), Hifdzunnaql (preserving the mind) and hifdzulmal (preserving wealth).

High-spin organic tetraradicals with significant intramolecular exchange interactions have high potential for advanced technological applications and basic research, but those synthesized to date possess limited stability and processability. In this work, we designed a tetraradical based on the Blatter’s radical and nitronyl nitroxide radical moieties and successfully synthesized it using the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of triiodotriazine with gold(I) nitronyl nitroxide-2-ide complex in the presence of a newly developed efficient catalytic system. The molecular and crystal structure of the tetraradical was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The tetraradical possesses good thermal stability with decomposition onset at ∼150 °C in an inert atmosphere. The tetraradical exhibits reversible redox waves (at −0.54 and 0.45 V vs Fc/Fc+), unprecedented for high-spin tetraradicals. The magnetic properties of the tetraradical were characterized by SQUID magnetometry of polycrystalline powders and EPR spectroscopy in various matrices. The collected data, analyzed using high-level quantum chemical calculations, confirmed that the tetraradical has a triplet ground state and a nearby excited quintet state. The unique high stability of the prepared triazinyl-nitronylnitroxide tetraradical is a new milestone in the field of creating high-spin systems.
High entropy hexagonal manganites for fast oxygen absorption and release
Authors: Danmo Frida Hemstad , Westermoen Aamund , Marshall Kenneth , Stoian Dragos , Grande Tor , Glaum Julia , Selbach Sverre M.
Published: October 2023

Hexagonal manganites (RMnO3) display large capacity for oxygen storage and release at temperatures below 400 °C. A challenging trade-off is that larger R3+ cations improve both the absorption capacity and the exchange kinetics, but also destabilize the layered hexagonal structure with respect to competing orthorhombic perovskite phase. Here, high-entropy RMnO3 materials with 5 or 6 rare earth elements are prepared as both bulk and nanocrystalline materials, and the resulting configurational entropy stabilizes the hexagonal phase for compositions RMn1-xTixO3 where R = Y, Gd-Er and x = 0, 0.15. These high-entropy hexagonal manganites show similar oxygen storage capacity as the best known single or double R3+ compositions, and greatly enhanced oxidation kinetics. Importantly, both the oxygen capacity and oxidation kinetics are insensitive to the exact R3+ composition. This improves the commercial application potential of hexagonal manganites for oxygen storage and separation from air.
The factors of ideological influence on translation (based on Ukrainian translations of E. Hemingway's novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” in 1981 and 2018)
Authors: Frolova Iryna , Lapina Oleksandra
Published: October 2023

This article provides a study into the nature of differences in Ukrainian translation due to the radical change of ideology in 1981 and 2018. Perceiving the ideological factors that influence translation activity as those of censorship, we suggest a classification that consists of three types: objective, relatively objective and subjective factors. Further on, we consider the manifestations of these types of factors influence in the Ukrainian translations of E. Hemingway novel “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by M. Pinchevskyi (1981) and A. Savenets (2018). The objective factor is beyond the sphere of translation activity as translators have no power over it. It consists in the necessity for a foreign literary work to go through the "filters" of censorship to get an approval for translation and publication. Despite absolutely different ideological considerations underlying this approval in 1981 and 2018, E. Hemingway's novel turned out to be successful in passing through such “filters”. The relatively objective factor, being a blend of censorship and self-censorship, consists in the mental representation of the censorship requirements in translators' mind. The influence of this factor comes in two varieties: omission of certain elements of the original text in translation and ideologically motivated restrictions in the choice of equivalents. Both are clearly seen in the Ukrainian translation of the Soviet period, while the recent translation is free of such influences. The subjective factor is that of self-censorship solely with regard to the potential reader's ideology and translation ethics. Its influence can be seen in the choice of different methods of translation/ translation transformations and/or different language means. The influence of this factor has been observed in the translations under study but the ideological nature of the registered differences requires a further detailed analysis.

SONG TRANSLATION OF SPEECHLESS BY NAOMI SCOTT: METAPHOR AND UNTRANSLATABILITY
Authors: Adawiyah Siti Lutfiah Rabiyatul , Firdausi Annisa Nurul
Published: October 2023

Song is an expressive text which is not an easy task to translate. Many considerations must be taken in order to create a well-produced song translation. In defining the song’s meaning, many procedures are needed to be done. Metaphor and untranslatability need to be presented as the analysis of the song translation. Metaphor which employs hidden and deepen meaning of a text comes along with the song’s expressive feature as a tool to deliver the writer’s feeling and emotions. Translation loss in metaphorical text is also presented while untranslatability deals with the linguistics, cultural, and compensation value of the text. The method used in this research was qualitative descriptive methodology. Metaphorical analysis was done to scrutinize the unseen feature of the text’s meaning. Translation loss in metaphorical view is also being presented in order to reveal the equivalence and inequivalence of the song translation. Two kinds translation loss are found, inevitable and avertable. Untranslatability dealt with the song’s linguistic and cultural phenomenon such as alliteration, assonance, and rhyme. Compensation which deals with untranslatability is also explained in this paper. Compensation in Kind, Compensation in Place, and Compensation in Merging are used to deal with the translation loss of the metaphorical sense of the song.

Published: October 2023

This research introduces the design and simulation of a monopole antenna with a simple ground plane, specifically developed for dual-band communication. The antenna consists of a radiating patch, feed line, and ground plane, and it was fabricated on an FR-4 substrate. The operating frequency bands of the antenna cover 2.5–2.7 GHz and 3.9–4.6 GHz. By carefully selecting the dimensions, the antenna achieves resonance frequencies at 2.6 GHz and 4.2 GHz, with corresponding bandwidths of 200 MHz and 700 MHz. The research provided excellent impedance matching for the antenna, as indicated by the measured return loss (S11) values of -29.35 dB and -22.48 dB, surpassing the required criterion of S11 < -10 dB. The compact size of the antenna, measuring 12×24×1.6 mm³, makes it highly suitable for applications with space limitations. The antenna performance was extensively analyzed through simulations utilizing High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software. The results validate its effectiveness for two specific frequency bands:2.6 GHz for mobile broadband service and 4.2 GHz for various applications such as cordless phones, wireless audio devices, and industrial, Scientific, and Medical Networks (ISM). This research lays a solid foundation for future developments in dual-band communication antennas, offering potential benefits in terms of connectivity and communication efficiency.

Authors: Latha Divya Sasi , Samanchuen Taweesak
Published: October 2023

The utilization of the reference process model (RPM) and reference architecture (RA) as disruptive information and communication technologies (ICT) in the pharmaceutical cold chain (PCC) industry has enabled the management of tasks through a model-architecture-based approach. This research presents an innovative method for competency development in the cold chain sector, leveraging RPM and RA. By introducing a comprehensive conceptual framework encompassing RPM and RA design and workflow into cold chain competency development, this study outlines the key areas for incorporating RPM and RA into the PCC field. The framework elucidates the functioning of RPM and RA concerning occupational standards (OS) and units of competencies (UOC) within the industry. The study generates a research framework for the PCC industry by systematically implementing RPM and RA using a proposed method. The primary outcomes and empirical evidence are UOC and OS derived from RPM and RA implementation and integration, substantiating the conceptual framework's validity. The research highlights the evolutionary aspects and the significance of the conceptual framework in guiding the research framework and proposes a method for competency development. Furthermore, recommendations are provided for future research endeavors. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-02-011 Full Text: PDF
Study of Optimization of Tourists' Travel Paths by Several Algorithms
Authors: Wang Ting
Published: October 2023

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the tourism path to make the distance shorter. The article first constructed a model for tourism route planning and then used particle swarm optimization (PSO), genetic algorithm (GA), and ant colony algorithms to solve the model separately. Finally, a simulation experiment was conducted on tourist attractions in the suburbs of Taiyuan City to compare the path optimization performance of the three algorithms. The three path optimization algorithms all converged during the process of finding the optimal path. Among them, the ant colony algorithm exhibited the fastest and most stable convergence, resulting in the smallest model fitness value. The travel route obtained through the ant colony algorithm had the shortest distance, and this algorithm required minimal time for optimization. The novelty of this article lies in the enumeration and description of various algorithms used for optimizing travel paths, as well as the comparison of three different travel route optimization algorithms through simulation experiments. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-02-012 Full Text: PDF
An Improved Differential Evolution Algorithm for Numerical Optimization Problems
Authors: Farda Irfan , Thammano Arit
Published: October 2023

The differential evolution algorithm has gained popularity for solving complex optimization problems because of its simplicity and efficiency. However, it has several drawbacks, such as a slow convergence rate, high sensitivity to the values of control parameters, and the ease of getting trapped in local optima. In order to overcome these drawbacks, this paper integrates three novel strategies into the original differential evolution. First, a population improvement strategy based on a multi-level sampling mechanism is used to accelerate convergence and increase the diversity of the population. Second, a new self-adaptive mutation strategy balances the exploration and exploitation abilities of the algorithm by dynamically determining an appropriate value of the mutation parameters; this improves the search ability and helps the algorithm escape from local optima when it gets stuck. Third, a new selection strategy guides the search to avoid local optima. Twelve benchmark functions of different characteristics are used to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs significantly better than the original DE in terms of the ability to locate the global optimum, convergence speed, and scalability. In addition, the proposed algorithm is able to find the global optimal solutions on 8 out of 12 benchmark functions, while 7 other well-established metaheuristic algorithms, namely NBOLDE, ODE, DE, SaDE, JADE, PSO, and GA, can obtain only 6, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, and 1 functions, respectively. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-02-014 Full Text: PDF
Noonomics as a scientific theory: Key postulates and implications
Authors: Urasova Anna A.
Published: October 2023

Scientific economic discourse holds a certain pool of theories and concepts, which are now considered generally accepted. They rely on a developed evidence base, have passed through several stages, and have mature schools of thought. Yet as we can see from the history of economic thought, during their genesis these theories were not always connoted and contextualized unambiguously. Perhaps at present we are witnessing the formation of a new scientific theory – noonomics. The paper aims to study its essence, basic characteristics and postulates and to prove that it belongs to the modern stage in the development of the theories of economic dynamics and stadiality in economic processes. These theories constitute the methodological basis of the research. The methods include systematisation and generalisation used to reveal the key propositions of the theories of economic cycles and dynamics; logical structural analysis and causal analysis to track the evolution of the foundations underlying the theories of technological development; the method of particularising to describe the essence of noonomics. The paper identifies the relevant characteristics of the theories of economic dynamics and stadiality of economic processes and examines noonomics in the context of the said theories. The research confirms the scientific foundations of this concept. The results contribute to the understanding of a transition to the next stage in the economy and society’s technological development by extending the boundaries of the theories of economic dynamics.

Authors: Khmura Sergey V. , Yakimova Vilena A.
Published: October 2023

Modern conditions brought forth digital investment platforms, which have offered new possibilities of raising capital by entrepreneurs. The paper aims to rank these platforms to meet the information and analytical needs of agents in investment decision-making. Methodologically, the paper relies on the ecosystem approach, as well as propositions of digital, collaborative and platform economics. The paper applies the methods of grade rating, coefficient and correlation analysis. The evidence comes from public reports on investment activities of 68 crowdfunding platform operators and other information available on their websites. To rank the platforms, the study considers the factors related to investment activity (competitiveness, market activity, scaling up, etc.) and risks (financial insolvency, credit and litigation risks, etc.) and then designs a method for a rating-based assessment of investment activity and risks. The paper provides a multivariate assessment of investment activity and risks including systemic ones and specific for certain types of crowdfunding. The study presents the ranking of 68 crowdfunding platforms, identifies types of platforms according to the criteria “investment activity – risks”, as well as the criteria of security of investment (Co-Fi, Peers.money, Potok.Digital, InveStore, InvestGO) and association with a high risk. The method can be useful for investors and borrowers to justify their financial decisions; for the Bank of Russia to perform control and supervision procedures; and for professional community to outline directions for the development and promotion of the crowdfunding in Russia.

Os Institutos Federais numa perspectiva de gênero, raça e classe: uma análise interseccional
Authors: Jobim Letícia Mossate , Silva Márcia Alves da
Published: October 2023

Este artigo apresenta algumas reflexões das autoras, que são pesquisadoras e docentes que desenvolvem estudos e pesquisas sobre a participação das mulheres no mundo do trabalho, especialmente no Brasil. Esta escrita tem como objetivo realizar uma análise do perfil dos/das estudantes dos Institutos Federais brasileiros numa perspectiva interseccional, incorporando no debate dados sobre raça, classe e gênero, nas modalidades presenciais e a distância.  Para isso, foram utilizados os dados da plataforma Nilo Peçanha (dados do ano de 2019). Sobre os referenciais teóricos adotados, o conceito de interseccionalidade permeia o texto, aliado a contribuição de referenciais que compõe o campo dos estudos feministas e dos estudos sobre o mundo do trabalho. No que se refere aos aspectos metodológicos, foram utilizadas abordagens tanto quantitativas como qualitativas, considerando-as em suas complementaridades. O resultado do processo de análise dos dados demonstrou que, apesar do equilíbrio nas matrículas de estudantes homens e mulheres nos IFs, prevalece a divisão sexual em determinadas áreas de conhecimento. Em relação à raça, as matrículas de estudantes de cor preta e parda predominam em quase todas as regiões do país, exceto na região Sul. Entretanto, quando se incorpora na análise o marcador de classe social, as famílias que possuem maior renda são as brancas, e as menores rendas são das famílias pretas. São esses últimos também, que possuem menos acesso aos salários mais altos. Assim, é possível concluir que a divisão sexual do trabalho se mantém na realidade brasileira, apesar do visível aumento da incorporação das mulheres, tanto como estudantes do ensino técnico como trabalhadoras no mundo do trabalho. Dessa forma, a perspectiva interseccional permitiu verificar que, em conjunto com o gênero, funciona outros marcadores sociais, como classe social e raça.
Relato de experiência de ensino na pós-graduação em educação: relações étnico-raciais, educação e dinâmica social no Brasil
Authors: Souza Sérgio , Lastoria Andrea
Published: October 2023

Neste artigo relatamos nossa experiência como docentes de uma disciplina desenvolvida no âmbito da Pós-graduação em Educação, que passou da modalidade presencial para o ensino remoto no contexto da COVID-19. O objetivo é refletir sobre a relevância da temática abordada, as características da experiência formativa e os principais enfrentamentos nossos e dos estudantes. O cenário de legitimação teórico está assentado em autores da área educacional e de pesquisadores que focalizam nos estudos sobre relações étnico-raciais no Brasil. Os dados foram colhidos por meio de um questionário aplicado aos estudantes que cursaram a disciplina e por comentários que eles publicaram no fórum Ibero-Americano de Educação, Geografia e Sociedade (GEOFORO). Os resultados podem ser considerados sob dois eixos. O primeiro refere-se as dificuldades que os estudantes tiveram com as produções escritas e o curto prazo para suas finalizações. O segundo eixo aponta para o reconhecimento unânime, sobre a necessidade de ampliar a oferta de disciplinas voltadas para a discussão das relações étnico-raciais em programas brasileiros de pós-graduação em Educação. Tal aspecto está ligado a ampliação dos repertórios dos estudantes e a ressignificação de noções e conceitos inerentes a tal temática nas práticas escolares e sociais dos envolvidos.
Fragments of Legitimacy: Symbolic Constructions of Political Leadership in Twenty-First-Century Mali
Authors: Diallo Souleymane , Schulz Dorothea E.
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article examines official constructions of political legitimacy since the introduction of multiparty democracy in Mali and asks how some segments of the population have responded to them. We argue that these constructions evolved in the context of three symbolic repertoires, symbolized by the rifle, the ballpoint pen, and prayer beads. In this process, politicians have mobilized repertoires in selective and changing ways, subject to continuous reformulation, bricolage, and rearticulation. We end with the proposition that the result of these constructions, a cross of the pen and the rifle repertoires favored by the military regime of Colonel Assimi Goita, high-lights the popularity of the imagery of military strongmanship in Mali—and in sub-Saharan Africa more widely.
Between the Border of Despair and the "Circle of Tears": Musrara on the Margins of Jewish-Arab Existence in Jerusalem
Authors: Naor Moshe , Jacobson Abigail
Published: October 2023

Abstract: This article focuses on Jerusalem's Musrara—a neighborhood trapped between borders—between 1948 and 1967. Barbed wire running along the eastern side of the neighborhood divided the city of Jerusalem between 1948 and 1967. Musrara's western border separated it from West Jerusalem, thus enhancing the division between its residents—new immigrants of Middle Eastern descent—and the mainly Ashkenazi population of the western part of Jerusalem. Our analysis of a neighborhood on the margins of Jewish and Arab existence in post-1948 Jerusalem considers the perspectives of immigrants and refugees living on a double border that separated the Eastern-Arab part of the city from its Western-Jewish part, or between "old Jerusalem" and "new Jerusalem." The border also signified the boundary between "first Israel" and "second Israel," or the Jewish frontier and neighborhoods in the city center.

Abstract: Beckett's The Lost Ones —an angrier, more action-oriented text than is generally acknowledged—enacts socio-politically functional notions of "social cohesion" predicated on economic, racial, gender, and sexual considerations in ways apt to expose not just their harmful nature but also their aggregate functioning—their interconnected machinic articulation, which allows them to act concertedly, with crushing power, but also exposes them to generalized sabotage. The narrative voice feigns objectivity and detachment while proffering support for practices evocative of real-life economic instrumentalizations of the human body, racially justified forms of mistreatment, and gender-based discrimination and violence. The text's long-winded explanations, conspicuously rich in self-satisfied, pedantic-to-malicious caveats, understatements, and repetitions, ultimately emanate strictly unreliability, voyeurism, and cruelty. The Lost Ones thus provides not a meditative critique but an angry diagrammatic enactment (a term borrowed from Deleuze and Guattari) of the violence of abstraction.
THE SUPRA-NATIONALITY PRINCIPLE IN EU VISA POLICY: THEORETICAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS
Authors: Kazik Tetiana
Published: October 2023

Abstract. The author analyses scientific findings and legal acts related to supranationality in the EU. In particular, the article focuses on the theoretical and applied aspects of the supranationality principle in the EU visa policy. According to the author, supranationality at the EU level is an opportunity for the EU to influence the internal legislative policies of the EU member-countries through relevant bodies authorised to do so. The research methodology used in the paper includes general scientific and special scientific approaches and methods. According to the study's findings, the concept of “supranationality” in the EU visa policy is manifested in the minimum standards established at the EU level regarding the operation of the visa regime. These standards are mandatory for implementation in the policy of each individual EU member-country, with the possibility of their adjustment based on conditions for maintaining the required minimum.
The role of environmental performance to strengthen firm values to financial performance
Authors: Pramono Hadi , Rohman Abdul
Published: October 2023

Firm value is very closely related to financial performance, which reflects management's achievements in generating profits. For investors, financial performance is an important aspect in determining investment. In addition to financial results, a company's environmental compliance is also important information to attract and influence investors' perceptions, which can add value to the company. Tobin's Q is used to measure the value of the corporate. ROA and ROE measure financial performance, while environmental performance is measured by PROPER. The study results show that ROE positively affects firm value, while ROA has no effect. Environmental performance can strengthen the impact of ROA on firm value, while the relationship between ROE and firm value cannot be strengthened. However, at an alpha level of 0.1, financial results can increase the impact of ROE on firm value.

Sikap konsumtif akhir-akhir ini di kalangan pelajar dan generasi muda lainnya telah membuat pengelolaan keuangan menjadi sulit. Selain sikap tersebut, beberapa penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa banyak anak muda yang tidak memiliki pengetahuan tentang pengelolaan keuangan. Beberapa masalah keuangan muncul di masyarakat, terutama bagi mahasiswa, seperti ketidakmampuan untuk menghidupi diri sendiri, belanja online, danmasalah keuangan lainnya. Di antara kita sebagai mahasiswa, kasus seperti itu sering terjadi, terutama di Universitas Tanjungpura, Pontianak, Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengetahui bagaimana perilaku mental accounting mahasiswa dalam mengelola pengeluaran harian dan keputusan investasi pada mahasiswa.  Metode penelitian yang dilakukan oleh peneliti adalah Pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil wawancara yang dilakukan peneliti pada mahasiswa FEB UNTAN terkait perilaku mahasiswa dalam perilaku mental acounting, keputusan melakukan investasi, dan manajemen keuangan dalam setiap priode tertentu. Dari ke 6 mahasiswa yang di wawancara, mahasiswa memiliki pemahaman terhadap mental acounting dan manajemen keuangan, namun mahasiswa tidak melakukan investasi.  Dari ke 6 mahasiswa yang diwawancarai masing-masing memiliki perilaku accounting dan manajemen keuangan yang berbeda, tapi memiliki tujuan yang sama yaitu untuk memcukupi kebutuhan setiap periode.

Extensive research is being conducted for cancer treatment but eradicating cancer cells is a great challenge till date due to lack of understanding regarding cancer development and manifestation in the systemic and local environment. L-asparaginase (ASNase), a well-known drug since decades for treatment of paediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is an enzyme that restricts the ability of the non-essential amino acid asparagine for tumor progression by breaking it down to aspartic acid and ammonia thereby depriving tumor cells from their key nutrient for survival. Though the enzyme has gained immense interest in clinical and scientific community the major challenge posed by the use of this specific enzyme in antilymphoproliferative studies is the induction of several immunogenic responses. In this review, we have highlighted the different encapsulation techniques using emerging carrier molecules to increase enzyme efficacy with a minimum negative impact on the living cells. Further we have highlighted the recent approach in which encapsulation of the enzyme using diverse nanoparticles which have proved its effectiveness in rendering target-specific action along with reduced immunogenicity, improved half-life, thermal stability and better enzyme activity.
A review of fermentation and the nutritional requirements for effective growth media for lactic acid bacteria
Authors: Yeboah Philip Junior , Ibrahim Salam A , Krastonov Albert
Published: October 2023

Lactic acid bacteria are useful microorganisms that are well-known to have probiotic effects and provide foods with unique sensory qualities such as aroma and taste (flavor). Probiotic bacteria such as Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus are found in many fermented food products and confer several human health benefits. Probiotic strains help to strengthen and boost the human immune system, increasing the body's resistance to a wide range of disease conditions. The food industry’s effort to meet customers' sensory and health demands in dairy and fermented food items has boosted the need for probiotic starter cultures with superior performance and health-beneficial qualities. One of the crucial dairy starter cultures for producing fermented dairy products such as yogurt and cheese is lactic acid bacteria, particularly L. bulgaricus. An enhanced fermentation media improves the generation of essential metabolites, such as lactic acid and the sensory attribute of fermented food. Therefore, this review aims to present an overview and the importance of lactic acid bacteria in fermentation. The review also presents information on specific nutritional requirements of growth media for fermentation purposes as well as new classifications and views on the present commercial applications of these healthy bacteria.
Nutritional and functional potentials of germinated rice: A systematic review

Published: October 2023

The cereal food group contributes significant amounts of the major macronutrients and micronutrients, making it an essential part of a healthy diet. The primary food for nutrition, energy, and nourishment in India, especially in North Eastern India, is rice. It is rich in dietary fiber, vitamin B including niacin, riboflavin, and thiamin, in addition to minerals like phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Germination as a biochemical process has the ability to enhance the nutritional value of whole brown rice grains and bioactive properties of rice. It is a time-honored, cost-effective way to prepare sprouted seeds. Since, high molecular proteins break down into low molecular proteins during germination, this process impacts on product qualities including odor, bioactivity and digestibility, which is advantageous for baby nutrition. Varying steeping time or water pH causes changes in reducing sugar, free GABA, and amylase activity, however, there is a decrease in total starch content. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) inhibits leukemia cell proliferation and stimulates cancer cell Apoptosis. Therefore, the aim of this present review is to highlight the biochemical changes that occur in rice due to germination and its health benefits.
