The objective of this study is to search families of chemical compounds and to evaluate subacute toxicity of decoction of Landolphia owariensis liana bark on wistar rat.

To identify the family compound chemical staining reactions and / or precipitation was used. Subacute toxicity study was conducted using OECD method 404. 15 rats of both sexes were divided into five groups. They were received for each lot, distilled water (control), 50, 300, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg body weight of decoction every 24 hours orally for 28 days (OECD 404). Body weights, hematological, biochemical and histological parameters of the liver and kidneys were analyzed.

The results of phytochemical screening showed that the decoction of L. owariensis contains sterols, polyterpenes, polyphenols and flavonoids. It is rich in chemical substances with antioxidant properties (polyphenols and flavonoids). For toxicity assessment, no significant changes in body weight between control and treated groups and no physiological disturbances were observed after 28 days of treatment. Analyzes of hematological and biochemical parameters revealed no toxicity of the decoction. No mortality was also recorded for the methods used. It is nontoxic to rats, even at high doses (5000 mg/kg body weight).

As a result, liana bark of this plant could be used for effective therapeutic purposes.

Published: June 2020

Motivation/Background: The formation of a lesbian mindset does not happen immediately. This study aims to explore the process of family roles experienced by research subjects who have a lesbian sexual orientation even though it is not accordance with their religion.

Method: The research method used was a qualitative research of phenomenology in two subjects who had lived lesbian sexual orientation for more than 2 years with different backgrounds. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was conducted to analyze the role of the family as a model, how the subject perceives the stimulus, direct or indirect environmental contributions, and how close family experiences form a lesbian mindset about the subject.

Results: The results of this study indicate the subject "I" had a model of his father's behavior and reinforces the general perception of his mother that men had bad behavior. The social Environment made the subject felt ostracized and entered the domain of the lesbian community who can accept the subject with the circumstances as she was without much demand. A female friend in this environment became modes and informants experienced being lesbian. Meanwhile, "R" was growing psychologically with a style of parenting that is too spoiled by her mother and got a model and informants experienced from her older sister.

Conclusions: Both subjects get different experiences in the process of forming a lesbian mindset. From a neurocognitive social perspective, the formation of a lesbian mindset is very complex. Neurocognitive response of the experience of getting too many rough touches or too long getting a hug of comfort, both can trigger perceptions that supported by the environment will form a lesbian mindset.

Published: June 2020

The increasing demand for live ornamental fish for export needs triggers fishermen to start looking for alternative fishing techniques that are more effective and efficient. The technique commonly used is the anesthetic technique using potassium cyanide. The use of cyanide has been banned by the government because of the many impacts it has caused such as the degradation of coral reef ecosystems, high non-target fish mortality and pollution of coastal areas. Clove oil is an alternative anesthetic which can be utilized with many advantages compared to cyanide. The sampled fish used was sergeant major (Abudefduf vaigiensis) as many as 15 fish with a size of 9-12 cm obtained from fishermen's catch using a scoop. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of clove oil as an anesthetic of Sergeant Major Fish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) based on induction time  and recovery time. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Analysis of the data used is One-Way ANOVA parametric analysis and Kruskal Wallis nonparametric analysis. The results obtained are five series of concentrations (20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm, 50 ppm, 60 ppm) which have a significant effect on induction time (20 ppm and 60 ppm) of sergeant major fish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) (P<0.05) The treatment of five concentration series (20 ppm, 30 ppm, 40 ppm, 50 ppm, 60 ppm) did not have a significant effect on the recovery time of the Sergeant Major Fish (Abudefduf vaigiensis) (P>0.05).

The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge(HZMB) project, which has just been opened to traffic in 2018. The special location, construction conditions, quality requirements and multiple functions of HZMB brought many challenges, such as management, technology, safety and environmental protection. To meet these challenges and ensure the achievement of high quality and 120 years design service life, the HZMB project first introduced the completely new concept of "Large size, Factory production, Standardization and Assembly", which was fundamental to the design and construction. This was developed in consideration of the difficulties of the offshore environment.The core idea was Prefabrication and Assembly, which was to change this HZMB project into onshore work as much as possible by cutting this mega sea-crossing into large sized components, which could be prefabricated on land and then transported to the offshore site for assembly. The success of the HZMB undoubtedly has led the technology of prefabrication and assembly to a new height and recognized scale. This paper describes the implementation process of the concept; "Large size, Factory production, Standardization andAssembly" (LFSA) to the HZMB.

Published: June 2020

With the continuous implementation of the PPP projects, due to the imperfection of relevant policies, the blindness of government subsidy is constantly emerging. Thus, it is important to put forward a practical approach for valuing the subsidies and risk. In this paper, the revenue subsidies model and traffic subsidies model are established. Then combined with practical cases, Monte Carlo simulation is used to get the value and probability of government subsidies under different compensation ways. On this basis, the influence of initial traffic volume and traffic growth rate on government subsidies and net present value of investors is analyzed. The research findings can provide theoretical guidance for the government to choose a reasonable way of subsidies, balance the risk of compensation, and formulate subsidies policies.

Published: June 2020

The following paper discusses analysis and morphology of key motifs and patterns drawn from a range of cases in Malay architecture and built form, which arise of centuries of observation of nature and its eventual artistic expressions in building elements. They focus on patterns found in many traditional buildings repeatedly across the Nusantara. These patterns, taken from flora and fauna of the region, recall how woodcarvers, artisans and builders were inspired by the living beings which they found surrounding them. The paper highlights that these nature-related motifs represent a ‘regionalising’ aesthetic strategy, which vary in terms of location, and which builders and patrons of architecture used to regionalize and ‘localise’ their buildings and cases. The hand-drawn motifs in the study were thenrelated to the symbolic and spiritual meaning of them, highlighting that these meaning could be again re-instated in modern architecture. The motifs could represent a spiritual and regional means of re-infusing the built environment with a ‘soul’ and meaning, in the midst of modernization and urbanization.

Wacana dapat diklasifikasikan berdasarkan media yang digunakan untuk mewujudkan sebuah wacana. Hubungan antar bagian wacana ada dua jenis, yaitu (1) hubungan bentuk yang disebut dengan kohesi (cohesion) dan hubungan makna atau hubungan semantis yang disebut koherensi (coherence). Wacana merupakan rentetan kalimat yang berkaitan dengan menghubungkan proposisi yang satu dengan proposisi yang lainnya. Selain itu, wacana dapat membentuk satu kesatuan sehingga terbentuklah makna yang serasi di antara kalimat-kalimat.

Authors: Mubin Fatkhul
Published: June 2020

Tulisan ini membahas tentang dosa besar, menyekutukan Allah dan tujuh macam dosa besardalam perspektif hadis. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah Dosa-dosa besar merupakan segalalarangan yang berasal dari Allah maupun Rasul-Nya. Dosa-dosa besar sangat banyakjumlahnya, diantaranya: syirik, durhaka terhadap kedua orang tua, membunuh jiwa tanpa hak,saksi palsu, sihir, menuduh mukminat berzina, membunuh anak karena takut miskin, memakanharta anak yatim, memakan harta riba, lari dari medan perang, berzina dengan istri tentangadan lainnya. Selain itu, durhaka terhadap orang tua juga merupakan dosa besar dan termasukdosa yang membinasakan. Sudah sepatutnya kita harus taat terhadap keduanya sesuai dengansyariat Islam. Namun demikian, dari sekian banyak dosa yang tergolong kepada dosa-dosabesar, dosa musyrik menempati urutan paling atas (yang terbesar) dari dosa-dosa besar lainnya.Adapun dosa-dosa besar lainnya yang tidak tercantum dalam hadis di atas, tetapi menjadikriteria dosa besar dalam hadis yang lain, di antaranya adalah durhaka terhadap orangtua,membunuh anak karena kekhawatiran menambah kemiskinan, persaksian palsu atau dusta,khianat dalam perkara ghanimah, zina, mencuri, meminum minuman keras, memisahkan diridari al-jama’ah, menebar fitnah, melanggar bai’at, dan tidak membersihkan air kencing.

Tradisi keilmuan Islam secara global dapat dipetakan dalam tigakategori: Bayani,Irfani, dan Burhani. Ketiga istilah ini, walaupun secaraliteral sudah ada dalam berbagaiteks keislaman, seperti dalam al-Qur'an,bahasa Arab, filsafat, dan kalam, namun ketigaistilah tersebut munculsebagai suatu bentuk penalaran atau epistemologi keilmuan Islambarubelakangan ini ketika Muhammad Abed al-Jabiri melakukan dekonstruksiatas tradisikeilmuan Islam dalam proyek "Kritik Nanar Arab"-nya.Al-Jabiri, yang telah banyak bergumul dengan tradisi filsafat Barat, khususnyapemikiran-pemikiran filsafat yang berkembang di Perancis, seperti strukturalisme dan poststrukturalisme serta pemikiran-pemikiran filsafat lainnya mencoba "membongkar"bangunan keilmuan Islam (klasik) dengan pisau analisis atau pendekatan yang bisadikatakanjarang digunakan oleh ilmuan-ilmuan muslim lainnya, yaitudenganmenggunakan analisis: strukturalisme, sejarah, dan kritik ideologi.
Pendekatan, Metode dan Tekhnik Perencanaan Pendidikan
Authors: Mubin Fatkhul
Published: June 2020

Perencanaan dalam dunia pendidikan, terutama dalam sebuah lembaga pendidikan,memang sangatlah penting, sebab perencanaan tersebut kedepannya akan berperanvital sebagai petunjuk dalam gerak langkah lembaga tersebut. Namun demikian,model perencanaan dalam sebuah lembaga pendidikan tentunya akan sangatberbeda dengan perencanaan dalam sebuah perusahaan. Perusahaan yang notabeneberorientasi profit, tentu saja ‘memproses’ benda mati, baik berupa barang maupunjasa. Di lain pihak, lembaga pendidikan, atau dapat disebut sebagai sekolah,‘memproses’ manusia dengan segala sifat-sifat kemanusiaannya yaitu hidup danberkembang. Perencanaan dalam sebuah lembaga pendidikan, tentunya tidak bolehkeluar dari tujuan pendidikan itu sendiri, karena tujuan itulah yang nantinya akanmenjadi titik tolak penyusunan sebuah kerangka rencana. Dan agar sebuahperencanaan dalam lembaga pendidikan tersebut tidak keluar dari tujuanpendidikan maka harus digunakan sebuah pendekatan, metode, dan teknik-teknikperencanaan yang sesuai dan tepat.
Kitchen Range Oven Enabled One-tube RT-LAMP for RNA Detection at Home - A Potential Solution for Large-scale Screening of COVID-19
Authors: Lei Yu
Published: June 2020

Rapid, low-cost, and user-friendly molecular diagnostic methods are prerequisite to address the outbreaks of infectious diseases. Especially during the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to build the global testing capacity up to 100-fold above what is achievable with current standard approaches. However, current gold standard methods such as RT-PCR and isothermal PCR (e.g., RT-LAMP), which are routinely conducted in laboratories, suffer from limit capacity due to the requirement of special equipment, multiple sample handling steps, and/or the need of skilled personnel. In this study, a kitchen Range Oven enabled RT-LAMP was conducted at a residential home without sacrificing the performance in RNA detection. In addition, one-step, closed-tube RT-LAMP for the detection of target RNA in the oven was accomplished by pre-loading sample collection solution and RT-LAMP reaction reagents into the bottom and cap cavity of PCR tube, respectively. After the addition of target RNA into sample collection solution through either swab swirling or direct pipetting, a flip-and-swing enabled mixing of sample solution and RT-LAMP reaction reagents was conducted first, followed by RT-LAMP detection at a constant temperature in pre-heated oven. The RNA positive sample can be obviously differentiated from the RNA negative sample through both naked-eye based turbidity detection and fluorescence detection under UV light. In conjunction with the user-friendly one-step, closed-tube concept, this study indicates that it is feasible to run RT-LAMP at home using oven with minimum involvement of end-users, thus offering an excellent molecular detection platform, which has the potential to boost the detection capacity for any nucleic acid target. It could be a potential solution for large-scale screening of COVID-19 in short time as the tests can be conducted by residents at home, without the need of well-trained health caregivers and capacity limitation.
Fall asleep or freeze? In home settings, extreme low and high levels of ambient noise associate with reductions in infants’ spontaneous movement.
Authors: Wass Sam
Published: June 2020

Early exposure to noisy, chaotic home environments is associated with increased physiological stress and adverse long-term cognitive and clinical outcomes. However, this research has generally used questionnaires to measure average household noise, despite that stress is, by definition, a dynamic, compensatory mechanism – thus obscuring the detailed picture of how we are dynamically influenced by, and compensate for, stressors in our environment. Here, we used miniaturised microphones and autonomic monitors to measure noise and infants’ spontaneous movement at home. We observed an inverse-U-shaped relationship, such that less movement was observed at extreme low and high ambient noise levels. This relationship was observed across multiple settings and time scales; however, when we removed the autocorrelation (i.e. slow-varying fluctuation) from the sound data, it disappeared and only a linear relationship (higher movement associated with higher sound) was observed. This indicates that the effect of reduced movement at extreme high sound is driven by sustained episodes of high sound. This effect may be caused by temporary fatigue, or by children actively down-regulating their movement levels to compensate for highly arousing situations - analogous to a newborn closing their eyes when over-stimulated. Implications of these findings for understanding how noisy/chaotic environments affect development are discussed.
Positive Psychosocial Outcomes and Fanship in K-Pop Fans: A Social Identity Theory Perspective.
Authors: Laffan Derek A
Published: June 2020

Korean pop culture (K-Pop) has spread its influence outside of Korea to a worldwide fan audience. The present study investigate the self-categorised K-Pop fandom characteristics that predicted higher levels of K-Pop fanship, and subsequent psychosocial outcomes. Social identity theory was applied as a theoretical framework. In total, 1477 K-Pop fans from 92 predominantly Western countries fully completed an extensive online survey measuring fanship, fandom and psychosocial outcomes (happiness, self-esteem and social connectedness). Results of this study indicated that K-Pop fanship was significantly predicted by a several K-Pop demographic and fandom characteristics. K-Pop fanship was a significant predictor of increased happiness, self-esteem and social connectedness. The study findings advance the application of social identity theory in a K-Pop fan context and the psychological fanship research more broadly.
What is (perception of) effort? Objective and subjective effort during attempted task performance
Authors: Steele James
Published: June 2020

Despite its apparent intuitiveness and widespread interest across various fields, ‘effort’ is a concept that seems difficult to define. The purpose of this article is to consider and define ‘effort’ during attempted task performance. In doing so I argue for distinction between the actual effort (objective effort) required, and the perception of that effort (subjective effort), during intentionally attempted task performance. I adopt a set theoretical approach to defining the intensional concepts, and extensional phenomenal constructs, and employ the tradition of Theory-Theory to illustrate tentative causal theories for and relating the concepts. The definitions I propose are deliberately agnostic of the specific task demands being attempted (e.g. physical, cognitive, self-control, or a combination) and thus reflect ‘general’ definitions of effort and its perception. Throughout, I draw upon and synthesise literature from across a multitude of disciplines, combining empirical evidence with armchair philosophising, and offer what insights I have from my own experience both as someone experiencing ‘effort’, and as a third-person observer investigating it. This work is intended to, at the very least, make my own current pretheoretical conceptualisation and understanding of ‘effort’ transparent to other researchers, and aid interpretation of subsequent empirical work, theory building, and theory testing on the topic. Further, I hope it might be useful to researchers across various fields, unify paradigms and help with integration of learnings across disciplines, and further understanding of the role of ‘effort’ and its perception from a broad scientific perspective.
WAKING TO NORMAL: Examining Archival Appraisal in Data-driven Society
Authors: Fitzgerald Roberta M
Published: June 2020

The COVID-19 environment, where the internet is the literal lifeline and livelihood of humanity, has exposed the chasm between those equipped for technological existence and those shocked by abrupt isolation. For archives, many institutions are on an unforgiving precipice of irrelevancy. The focus of this paper is not to iterate the necessity of archival theory but to examine the position of appraisal within a technologically-driven, internet society. Of significance to this evaluation is that organization, retrieval, and use of information have evolved, and users are central players in curation cycles. Also, of importance are those archives shifting to, and innovating, decentralized digital models - and thriving. A historical overview of both fields shows that appraisal falters in technical maturation and in response to changes in how society generates, captures, and retrieves information. There exist alternate paradigms for archival roles and appraisal, however, including recognizing that users derive the interpretation of information and that transdisciplinary archivists are vital. There are also developments in digital archives where access is the bedrock of the arrangement and description and the entire appraisal process.
