MSME come from various circles, one of which is students. Seeing the large number of students who are entrepreneurs, the Ministry of Education and Culture moved the government to hold an entrepreneurial student development program or called P2MW. The target of this program is students who have businesses nationally. The P2MW program is divided into several activities, namely workshops, talk shows, webinars/seminars, workshops, as well as coaching and funding related to entrepreneurship. One of the selected student businesses from Mahasaraswati University Denpasar is AW Dimsum. The aim of this research is to determine qualitatively the development of AW Dimsum's business profits before and after participating in the P2MW program. This research is qualitative in nature by emphasizing comparative descriptions of results before and after participating in the p2mw program and theoretical studies from several literatures. This research uses data collection techniques in the form of structured interviews and field observations. The results of this research show that the series of P2MW programs that have only been running for one month have already seen an increase in profits of around 10 – 15%. It is hoped that business owners will be able to be consistent in running their business and develop creative ideas for developing their business in the future.

Based on the agency perspective, the individual is a rational economic man who seeks to optimize his personal interests. Optimization of personal interests along with opportunistic behavior has the potential to reduce audit quality. The aim of this study is to investigate the interaction effect of audit tenure on the audit fees and audit quality relationship. This study uses a quantitative method involving financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange as a research sample. The literature is still limited in considering the positive impact of fees and audit tenure on audit quality. However, based on an agency perspective, this study shows that the existence of individual opportunistic behavior is the fundamental reason that aspects of the fee and audit engagement period have the potential to reduce audit quality. The findings of this study also indicate that the audit tenure moderates the effect of audit fees on audit quality. This research contributes to the audit quality literature that audit fees and engagement tenure can be two sword because apart from being able to improve audit quality, in the long term it has the potential to reduce audit quality.

Published: December 2024

The Fib Model Code 2010 introduced new design guidelines for tension laps, which have influenced the upcoming version of Eurocode 2 set to be released in 2023. Unlike the previous Eurocode 2 standards, the Model Code 2010 suggests longer lap lengths, potentially resulting in longer lap joints compared to the British Code (BS 8110-1). This study aims to enhance the sustainability of RC frame buildings by exploring the use of shorter lap lengths to reduce steel consumption in concrete structures and subsequently lower CO2 emissions. A comprehensive investigation, involving both experimental and numerical analyses, was conducted to assess the impact of rebar lap joints on the strength and ductility of beams. The experimental phase focused on simply supported reinforced concrete beams with lap splices subjected to four-point bending, varying lap lengths, and two types of reinforcement bars. The findings indicated that increasing the lap splice length enhances the stiffness, resistance, and ductility of the beams. However, extending the lap splices beyond 50∅ did not yield any additional benefits in terms of strength and ductility. It is evident that the current lap length recommendations by Eurocode 2 and Fib Model Code 2010 could potentially compromise the economic and environmental efficiency of construction projects without significantly enhancing the structural performance of the building.

Since the beginning of the South London Stroke Register (SLSR) in 1995, stroke care has undergone major transformations and the SLSR adapted alongside. Recruitment strategies changed in line with patient pathways, and data collections were updated to reflect clinical practice and provide clinicians and policymakers with the most impactful data. Our Stroke Research Patient and Family group was pivotal to define the most relevant care and outcome measures for stroke survivors. The SLSR has published numerous studies on epidemiological trends and the implementation of care interventions. By providing real-world data, the SLSR has contributed to shaping local and national stroke policies, such as the UK’s National Audit Office reports 2005 and 2010, the reconfiguration of London’s stroke services and national stroke guidelines. Linking SLSR data with routinely collected health data might further address many unanswered questions around stroke as a long-term chronic condition in ageing populations.
Lipid droplets in neurodegenerative disorders: Molecular insights and therapeutic intervention
Authors: Chen Xin-Yi , Fu Ting-ting , Huang Ling , Xiong Wan-Di
Published: December 2024

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic lipid storage organelles, derived from phospholipid monolayer membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum. LDs are composed of neutral lipids, mainly including triglycerides, sterol esters, and other non-polar lipids like cholesterol. The functions of LDs differ from different cell types in the central nervous system. The major role of LDs is to maintain lipid homeostasis, provide energy supply, and play a protective role in response to intracellular oxidative stress in the brain. Oxidative stress can lead to lipid dyshomeostasis, particularly the accumulation of LDs, followed by abnormal myelination, neuroinflammation, and cognitive decline. Neuroinflammation, aging, and age-related neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs) are characterized by the excessive accumulation of LDs in the brain. Although the LDs accumulation in the brain of the NDDs mouse model has been reported as early as a century ago, the role of LDs in the brain remains largely unknown. It is still unclear regarding the involvement of LDs accumulation in the pathogenesis of NDDs. In this review, we provide an overview of LDs biogenesis, the characteristics and functions of LDs from a cell-type perspective, and the pathological roles of LDs in NDDs on recent advances. In addition, we discuss the emerging LDs-based therapeutic strategies for NDDs, which may provide promising clues to develop novel therapeutic approaches for NDDs.

Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, and its prevalence has been increasing in recent years. Despite advancements in pharmacological therapy, symptoms such as fatigue, dyspnea, and exercise intolerance are still likely to persist over time. Therefore, functional evaluation is crucial for treating patients with HF and improving their prognosis. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the functional profile of patients with HF who were followed up at a referral ambulatory clinic in southern Brazil. In total, 51 patients with HF were treated in an outpatient setting. Functional capacity was assessed using the 6-min walk test, dynamometry, 30s sit-and-stand test, and manovacuometry (maximum inspiratory pressure [MIP] and maximum expiratory pressure [MEP]). The Minnesota Living with HF Questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life (QOL). The sample mostly comprised men (72.5%), with an average age of 48.2 ± 12.4 years. Cardiomyopathy (62.7%) was the most predominant etiology. A reduced left ventricular ejection fraction was prevalent in 94.1% of individuals and New York Heart Association functional class II and III HF in 62.8%. The most predominant risk factors were systemic arterial hypertension (60.8%), sedentary lifestyle (80.4%), obesity (41.2%), and smoking (41.2%). The most used medications were beta-blockers (94.1%), antihypertensives (52.9%), diuretics (100%), antiarrhythmics (64.7%), and angiotensin II blockers (68.6%). The average distance covered in 6MWT (Six Minute Walk Test) was 429.8 ± 96.7 m. The MIP and MEP reduced to 79.6% and 92.6% of the predicted distance, respectively. The right-hand grip strength (39 ± 11 kg) and left-hand grip strength (36 ± 10 kg) and the sit-and-stand test in 30s (30CST) (9.8 ± 2.3 repetitions) also decreased. HF had a moderate impact on QOL (46.6 ± 24.6 points). Individuals with HF have a reduced functional capacity in terms of respiratory and peripheral muscle strength, which moderately impacts QOL.

The intervertebral disc, a fibro-cartilaginous structure, contains a gelatinous core (Nucleus pulposus) surrounded by collagen fiber lamellae (Annulus fibrosus). Intervertebral disc degeneration leads to a debilitating disorder, and new treatments are currently being developed. Unfortunately, the conventional monolayer in vitro models fail to predict the clinical efficacy of novel therapies accurately. Here, we report a bioprinted construct that mimics the macroscopic and microscopic architecture of the intervertebral disc. First, a 3D model was created from a histological section of a sheep lumbar intervertebral disc. The printability of the ink, gelatin (7% w/v), alginate (0.6% w/v), and hyaluronic acid (0.2% w/v) was optimized by varying the printing pressure (70-110 kPa), printing speed (2-10 mm/s) and nozzle type (needle or tip). Nucleus Pulposus and Annulus Fibrosus cells, harvested from four-month-old lambs, were bioprinted (5 × 105 cells/mL) using an in-house extrusion bioprinter. Cell viability (Live/Dead assay), shape (actin immunostaining), distribution (confocal microscopy), and matrix synthesis (immunostaining) were evaluated after 21 days of culture. We used a parametric study to quantify and optimize the factors (pressure, printing speed, nozzle type) influencing the filament width. The 3D construct exhibited fidelity to the initial design and maintained stability in length, width, and height for 21 days. Fluorescent labeling confirmed the Nucleus Pulposus and Annulus Fibrosus cell distribution in each tissue, replicating the native intervertebral disc structure. We also evidenced cell viability and collagen type 1 synthesis. This bioprinted construct offers a promising alternative to current in vitro models, potentially enabling more relevant preclinical evaluations.

Published: December 2024

Anchang historical town, a historic Jiangnan water town in Shaoxing city, Zhejiang province, China, is home to well-preserved heritage buildings dating back to the Northern Song dynasty (960 – 1127). Despite preservation efforts, environmental factors, such as high humidity, heavy rainfall, and prolonged sunlight exposure continue to cause material degradation. Addressing the deterioration challenges requires comprehensive analysis and diagnosis to identify root causes and ensure the sustainable restoration of these cultural relics. To investigate the deterioration of historical buildings in Anchang historical town, the research team employed instrument-based detection, software simulations, data integration, and other methods. Two cultural heritage buildings were selected as case studies: the former site of the Bank of China at Wangjiaqiao (BCW building) and the residence of He Gongsheng at Siqiao (HGS building). In this study, a comprehensive analysis was conducted at both macro- and micro-levels, utilizing building models and incorporating environmental parameters. Macroenvironmental factors, such as regional temperature, sunlight, climate, humidity, and soil type were examined. Simultaneously, microenvironmental data, including wall materials, wall temperature, wall humidity, and sunlight exposure, were collected to analyze the impact of factors such as site selection, proximity to water bodies and vegetation, building layout and orientation, and window placement. By employing statistical analysis, inductive reasoning, and other techniques, the study identifies the mechanisms underlying wall damage and predicts future trends. Ultimately, this study aims to provide data-driven insights for the development of scientifically sound preventive conservation strategies for cultural relics and buildings, thus guiding future restoration efforts.

Published: December 2024

 This study utilizes Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals (a non-leaching biocide) to develop plastic articles with anti-microbial activity. The standard method for manufacturing plastic nanocomposites involves melt compounding Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals into a polymer melt, followed by injection molding; however, this approach did not produce a part with anti-microbial activity because there were no Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals on the surface of the parts. Anti-microbial polyamide 12 (PA 12) parts could be produced using a specific 3D printing method called high-speed sintering (HSS). The HSS-printed parts were subsequently dip-coated with an anti-microbial suspension of Mg(OH)2 nanoplatelets (NPs). The Mg(OH)2 NPs embedded on the surface of the HSS-printed part exhibited a log10 4 reduction (effective killing) of the bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 (E. coli). The Mg(OH)2 NPs adhered well to the HSS-printed parts and could be used repeatedly with no loss of anti-microbial activity. In contrast, the dip-coated injection-molded PA 12 part was ineffective because the Mg(OH)2 NPs did not adhere to it. The surface of the HSS-printed part naturally allows the binding of the Mg(OH)2 nanocrystals. The anti-microbial activity of Mg(OH)2 NPs depends on direct contact between them and the microbe, which is feasible with the dip-coated HSS-printed part but not with the injection-molded nanocomposite. The work illustrates some of the unique possibilities arising from 3D printing.

Crop Insurance (CI) is one of the most effective tool for managing risks associated with agriculture. In India, agriculture contributes significantly to its economy and according to the government report sector is transiting through a revolution of feminization. Additionally, literature on the agriculture sector reveals that female participation boosts agricultural productivity and food security. The paper examines the perceived impact of CI scheme PMFBY on female farmers across four major states of India, including Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Using a sample size of 455 female farmers and MLR models, along with Pearson correlation and descriptive statistics, we evaluated the perceived impact of the scheme. We introduced ten independent predictors - satisfaction, transparency, increase in agriculture income, knowledge of PMFBY, awareness campaign, overall satisfaction, risk coverage satisfaction, compensation satisfaction, benefits and transparency satisfaction. Our empirical findings indicate that there are positive and negative predictors that impact the perception of the scheme among the female farmers. But, major findings reveal that overall satisfaction, risk coverage and compensation related to the scheme were concerns. The predictors such as satisfaction, transparency, increase in agriculture income, awareness campaign, and potential benefits positively influenced the perception of female farmers. Hence, the paper highlights various policy problems and identifies elements that could be taken into account to enhance the scheme's effectiveness specially among the female farmers.

Generation of Fractal Attractor for Controlled Metric Based Dynamical Systems
Authors: Thangaraj C. , Valarmathi R. , Easwaramoorthy D. , Kumar D. Ramesh , Prasad Chamola Bhagwati
Published: December 2024

Mandelbrot initiated the term “Fractal” in 1975, and it has since gained popularity among mathematicians and physicists alike. The mathematical properties of fractals are available and applied in the chaotic structures of various systems, which are generally experienced in science and technology. The iterated function system (IFS) evolved as a practical application of the theory of discrete dynamical systems and is a valuable tool to generate fractal attractors. In this context, the Hutchinson-Barnsley (HB) theory is generalized to construct fractal sets using an IFS of contractions on a controlled metric space (CMS). The HB theorem of IFS is proved in a Hausdorff controlled metric space (HCMS), and it is also guaranteed that the HB operator has merely a single fixed point in a Hausdorff controlled metric space, known as a controlled fractal. This study also links the extended rectangular b-metric space (ERbMS) and the controlled metric space to create a new metric space, the controlled extended rectangular b-metric space (CERbMS), by incorporating the control factor as a function in the rectangular inequality. In addition, the fixed point theorem is also proved with specific conditions for contractions in the proposed metric space CERbMS and illustrated with an example. Finally, the structure of IFS is defined in CERbMS to construct the HB theory for generating the controlled extended rectangular b-fractals.

Published: December 2024

Medical terminology is a system of terms used by medical professionals, whereas nomenclature is a formal and coherent set of terms, arranged according to certain rules and principles, which was approved by scientific commissions. Modern anatomical terminology is based on centuries-old traditions and knowledge that is constantly being revised. This research is based on the use of anatomical terms in the atlas “A Colour Atlas of Applied Anatomy”, published by Robert Matthew Hay McMinn et al. in 1984.
Medical terms in the atlas can be basically divided into one-word and multi-word terms. Two-word compound terms form one small group of word combinations used in the scientific language. There are few three-word or four-word terms in the analysed source. No five-to-eight-word compound terms were found. The distribution of one-word terms by origin indicates that the most commonly used terms in English are those derived from Latin or Ancient Greek. Most of the terms found in the Atlas are two-word terms. The secondary component of this group of terms is agreed attributes. The first and second secondary components of three-word terms are the most commonly used agreed attributes. The first secondary components of four-word terms, both in English anatomical terms and Latin anatomical terms, are agreed attributes. The analysis of the terms shows that only about one in three English and Latin compound terms is a non-agreed attribute.

Authors: Miftahul Jannah  , Sabbar Dahham Sabbar
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the suitability of contracts in online transactions on the Grab-Food application with the principles of muamalah fiqh. In this application-based food delivery transaction, three types of contracts used are rental contracts, sale and purchase contracts, and wakalah contracts. The rental contract occurs between the application provider company and the driver and seller, while the sale and purchase contract is between the user (buyer) and the food seller. In addition, the wakalah contract occurs when the user gives the driver power to complete the purchase and delivery of food. The results of the study show that each contract has fulfilled the pillars and requirements of sharia, where the roles and responsibilities of each party have been clearly regulated, thereby reducing the potential for ambiguity (gharar) in the transaction. This finding supports previous studies and strengthens the concept of flexible muamalah fiqh that can be applied in various forms of digital transactions. The study concludes that app-based transactions such as Grab-Food can be adjusted to remain compliant with sharia values, providing confidence for Muslim consumers in conducting halal digital transactions. Recommendations for further research include analysis of blockchain technology to strengthen transparency in online transactions.

O setor de laticínios representa um segmento crucial na economia brasileira, posicionando-se atualmente como o quinto maior produtor a nível mundial. Contudo, enfrenta desafios ambientais consideráveis, sendo reconhecido como uma das indústrias mais poluentes dentro do setor alimentício. Estima-se que a produção de laticínios resulte na geração de 1 a 6 litros de efluentes para cada litro de leite processado, o que tem suscitado uma crescente preocupação com o tratamento e destinação adequada desses resíduos industriais. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral caracterizar os efluentes gerados na unidade de laticínios da fazenda experimental da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso e propor métodos viáveis de tratamento. A metodologia empregada para a coleta e análise seguiu os preceitos estabelecidos no Standard Methods. Foram registrados os seguintes parâmetros médios nos efluentes analisados: pH médio de 11,1, cor de 1662 mg/L, sólidos totais de 579,7 mg/L, demanda química de oxigênio (DQO) média de 277,5 mg/L, DQO de 23628 mg/L, fósforo médio de 72,29 mg/L e óleos e gorduras com uma média de 617,6 mg/L. A interpretação preliminar do estudo leva à conclusão de que o tratamento mais apropriado para os efluentes em questão é o de reator anaeróbio, com um pré-tratamento para a contenção da gordura presente no leite, uma vez que demanda menor área e apresenta um considerável potencial de tratamento.
