Authors: Saiful Liza Arieska , Meutia Nuraiza
Published: June 2023

Melanocortin 4 Receptors (MC4R) merupakan turunan senyawa G protein coupled-receptors (GPCRs). MC4R berperan dalam homeostasis energi, fungsi kardiovaskular, dan sistem reproduksi. Gen MC4R ini menyandi sekitar 332 asam amino dan terkespresi pada hipotalamus. MC4R salah satu protein transmembran dengan memiliki tujuh subtipe protein. Melanocortin-pathway berhubungan dengan pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) dalam aktivasi leptin sehingga meningkatkan dan menurunkan nafsu makan. Mutasi yang ditemukan pada MC4R berbanding lurus dengan kejadian obesitas. Mutasi yang terjadi bisa karena munculnya defek pada struktur MC4R, ekspresi pada permukaan membran sel, ikatan dengan ligan dan jalur sinyal. POMC akan mengaktivasi atau inaktivasi MC4R sesuai dengan kebutuhan energi tubuh. MC4R akan berikatan dengan agonis α-MSH atau β-MSH dan antagonis AgRP. Kesimpulannya, pengaturan MC4R dalam tubuh meliputi fungsi kardiovaskular, aktivitas insulin dan sistem reproduksi. Sehingga saat ini menjadi target sebagai terapi antiobesitas.

Published: June 2023

COPD mengacu pada serangkaian gangguan di mana aliran udara terbatas karena kelainan saluran napas atau alveolar dan di mana gejala pernapasan bertahan dari waktu ke waktu. Penyakit ini hasil dari kontak yang terlalu lama dengan zat beracun. Ketika peradangan terus-menerus hadir, saluran udara menyempit, mengurangi recoil paru. Berkurangnya partisipasi dalam aktivitas sehari-hari dikaitkan dengan kualitas hidup yang lebih rendah bagi penderita COPD, dan kondisi yang disebutkan di atas dapat berkontribusi pada hal ini. Para peneliti di Rumah Sakit Universitas Airlangga ingin mengetahui seberapa besar dampak merokok terhadap kualitas hidup pasien PPOK. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian analitik observasional cross-sectional. Pengambilan sampel berturut-turut digunakan untuk memilih 90 peserta yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi dan eksklusi penelitian. Data sekunder dikumpulkan dari rekam medis, sedangkan data primer dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner yang diberikan kepada pasien di Klinik Paru RSUA. Dalam penelitian ini, kebiasaan merokok partisipan dijadikan sebagai variabel bebas. Sementara kualitas hidup menjadi fokus penelitian ini yang merupakan variabel dependen. Uji chi-square dilakukan pada data. Di Rumah Sakit Universitas Airlangga, pasien dengan penyakit paru obstruktif kronik memiliki kualitas hidup yang lebih buruk secara signifikan jika mereka merokok (p=0,023). Oleh karena itu, kecenderungan seseorang untuk merokok berpotensi berdampak negatif pada kualitas hidup mereka jika mereka menderita PPOK. Oleh karena itu diperlukan peningkatan pengetahuan kepada pasien PPOK terkait dengan akibat perilaku merokok kepada kualitas hidup.

Published: June 2023

Infectious diseases are estimated to be the cause of half of all deaths worldwide. About 50-75% of deaths in hospital are reported to be due to infection. This number continues to increase rapidly in line with the development of bacterial resistance to certain antibiotics. One of the causes of resistance due to antibiotic abuse. The number of resistance events that occur encourages new discoveries in order to overcome the problem of resistance. Actinomycetes are Gram-positive microscopic bacteria that are widespread in nature. These bacteria can live in various environmental conditions that contain lots of nutrients. Actinomycetes population increases in the presence of organic matter that undergoes decomposition. Acinomycetes have the ability to produce antimicrobial compounds. The need for antibiotic compounds and chemotherapy compounds that are effective with low toxicity to the host, and the resulting waste can be degraded by the environment, is a problem that needs serious attention. The existence of resistance to antibiotics causes the need to develop new types of antibiotics from natural ingredients and microorganisms that can control microbapatogens. Compounds obtained from natural materials, especially plants and microbes, provide promising results in the development of new antibiotic compounds, among the existing types of microorganisms, Actinomycetes are the most potential source of producing antibiotics. Apart from antibiotics, actinomycetes also produce bioactive compounds of high economic value in the health sector as antiviral and anti-cancer, while in agriculture as herbicides, insecticides, and anti-parasitic compounds. This causes the need to explore actinomycetes which have the potential to produce antibiotic compounds against bacteria. This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity of secondary metabolites of actinomycetes isolates against cuts infected with Staphylococcus aureus resistant methicillin (MRSA) in winstar rats (rattus norvegicus). This type of research is carried out in an experimental laboratory. The results showed that the potential for secondary metabolites of actinomysetes isolates against MRSA bacteria was classified as strong with an inhibitory index of 10.1.

Malaria is almost found all over the world, including Indonesia. WHO data on malaria case transmission in 2020, namely 241 million and 627,000 deaths. Female Anopheles mosquitoes are the main factor in the transmission of parasites, one of which is Plasmodium falciparum which is most dangerous to cause complications to death. Data from the Ministry of Health 2019 the highest transmission in Papua Province is 216,380 cases. The malaria elimination program uses ACT as a treatment therapy for malaria. The first appearance of ACT resistance in Cambodia was in 2008 to Plasmodium falciparum which was associated with the presence of a Kelch 13 gene mutation. The purpose of this study was to identify a mutation of the Kelch 13 gene markers of resistance in Plasmodium falciparum with ACT treatment after 3 days. This type of exploratory study used a population of all patients at the Amban Manokwari Health Center in West Papua, with a total sampling in August-September 2022. Of the 51 and 11 H3 samples met the inclusion criteria using RDT and Microscopic methods. The DNA isolated sample using Favorgen kit then amplified PCR and electrophoresis gel agarose. Then were 7 amplicons seen in the DNA band (±200bp) and confirmed results from PT. Science Genetics (±100bp), then 1 amplicon is continued for sequencing. The sequence results were analyzed using the Bioedit and Mega IX softwere with the alignment of the sequence results. Changes in nucleeid bases and amino acids were obtained so that the mutation of the Kelch 13 gene occurred, 3 mutation variants: substitution (transition & transversion), silent mutation (C3T codon 1 cysteine-cysteine), and missense mutation (T4A codon 2 tryptophan-serine). It can be concluded that the Plasmodium falciparum treatment ACT carriers the Kelch 13 gene mutation as one of the markers of resistance. Keywords: ACT, Plasmodium falciparum, Kelch 13 Gene Mutation.

Experimental and Numerical Approach on Bird Strike: A Review
Authors: BOYACI Erkan , ALTIN Murat
Published: June 2023

Bird strikes are one of the biggest threats to flight safety in aviation. Bird strikes occur in every 2000 flights. 90% of foreign body damage in aviation is caused by bird strikes. In the event of a bird strike, the most critical parts of the aircraft are the nose, windshield, engine, inlet, wing front edges. Bird strikes usu-ally occur during the landing and take-off moments of the aircraft. In addition, factors such as the increase in the number of flights in the globalizing world and the migration status of birds play a role in the increase of these cases. In 15% of bird strikes, the aircraft is seriously damaged. Aircraft components must have a certain durability to minimize damage for flight safety. Criteria for critical parts are set in aviation regulations. To meet these criteria, aircraft components must successfully complete bird strike certification tests prior to flight. Due to the cost of physical tests, analyzes based on numerical simulations are carried out in par-allel with certification tests. The purpose of this analysis is to predict the damage to the aircraft by the verified bird model, to make changes to the aircraft compo-nent design and material when necessary, and to reduce the cost. In this review, the theoretical background of the bird strike problem, finite element analysis (model bird materials, bird modeling methods, bird geometry) and tests in the relevant literature will be discussed.
A PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW ON THE PSYCHODYNAMIC COGNITION OF THE SUBJECT'S PSYCHE
Authors:   Ukrainian State Dragomanov University, Yatsenko Tamara , Andruschenko Viktor ,   Ukrainian State Dragomanov University
Published: June 2023

The article reveals a psychodynamic approach to understanding the psyche in its entirety (“conscious/unconscious”). We emphasize on the interrelationships of the substructures of the psyche in their conscious and unconscious manifestations, as well as on the research possibilities of the “Active Social Psychological Cognition” method (ASPC). The specified method plays the role of both a search and research procedure in the in-depth cognition of the psyche, and practical perspectives of providing assistance to future psychologists in their personal psychocorrection. The palette of psychological and philosophical problems, which are not covered by academic psychology, is specified. The work clarifies the essence of psychological defenses of the psyche in their situational and basal manifestations (“vertical” and “horizontal”). The problem of the applicability of the methods of the psyche cognition in its integrity (“conscious/unconscious”) is also outlined, as well as the form and content of training of future practical psychologists. For the first time, the “Super-Id” substructure is introduced into the “Model of the Internal Dynamics of the Psyche”, which reflects the archaic influence on the psyche of the pre-Oedipal period of human development in its psychological parameters, which remain effective to this day. A comparative analysis of the methodology of traditional and psychodynamic approaches to understanding the psyche is carried out, which affects the specifics of training the future psychologist for their professional activity.
Change, yes ‘we’ can: Protesting For (Ingroup) and Against (Outgroup) Change under Conditions of Threatened Personal Control
Authors: Lautenbacher Johannes , Fritsche Immo , Eckert Wanda , Hoke Tina-Marie
Published: June 2023

Personal control loss and crisis has been proposed to affect people’s attitudes towards social change, but there is controversy about how. From an uncertainty reduction perspective (i.e., compensatory control theory), people should typically reject social change under conditions of threatened personal control. From the perspective of group-based control theory, however, social change can serve as a means to restore people’s sense of control through their social self (i.e., on a collective identity level). Thus, should only reject outgroup-initiated change, but welcome ingroup-initiated change following threat. Partially supporting a compensatory control perspective, across three studies (N = 260, 431, 510), manipulated control threat reduced support for social change. However, the studies provided strong evidence that this effect was absent, when change was driven by an ingroup. Further, in Studies 4 and 5 (N = 219, 616), control threat even increased attitudinal support for change-oriented, but not stability-oriented, ingroup actions. This suggests that social change is only perceived as threatening when it is not an ingroup initiative, and that it can even buffer feelings of personal control loss by highlighting the collective efficacy of a relevant social ingroup.

Knowledge, attention, and psychomotor ability: A latent variable approach to understanding individual differences in simulated work performance
Authors: Mashburn Cody Anthony , Burgoyne Alexander P. , Tsukahara Jason S. , Pak Richard , Coyne Joseph T. , Sibley Ciara , Foroughi Cyrus , Engle Randall W
Published: June 2023

We compare the validity of personnel selection measures and novel tests of attention control for explaining individual differences in synthetic work performance, which required participants to monitor and complete multiple ongoing tasks. In Study 1, an online sample of young adults (N = 474, aged 18-35) based in the United States completed three-minute tests of attention control and two tests that primarily measure acquired knowledge, the Wonderlic and the Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT). Structural equation modeling revealed that acquired knowledge tests did not predict simulated work performance beyond attention control, whereas attention control did predict simulated work performance controlling for other measures. In Study 2, an in-lab sample of young adults from Georgia Tech and the greater Atlanta community (N = 321, aged 18-35) completed tests of attention control, processing speed, working memory capacity, and versions of two U.S. Military selection tests, one assessing acquired knowledge (the AFQT) and one assessing psychomotor ability (the Performance-Based Measures assessment from the Aviation Selection Test Battery). Structural equation modeling revealed that attention control fully mediated the relationship between the Performance Based Measures and simulated work performance, but the AFQT and processing speed retained unique prediction. We also explore possible gender differences. Collectively, these results suggest that tests of attention control may be a useful supplement to existing personnel selection measures when complex cognitive tasks are the criterion variable of interest.
Protect Others to Protect Myself: A Weakness of Western Countries in the face of Current and Future Pandemics? Psychological and Neuroscientific Perspectives
Authors: Mermillod Martial , Morisseau Tiffany
Published: June 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has generated a large number of publications in medicine and biology concerning the virus and the treatments, as well as in psychology, social sciences, and data sciences concerning the spreading of the virus. Surprisingly, much less articles have been published in neurosciences on this field of research and one can wonder whether cognitive neurosciences have anything to say at all on this hot topic. In this article, we highlight a perspective of research concerning differences in the individual perception of the pandemic in Western compared to Eastern countries. Although this problem is complex and multifaceted, including many other social variables, we suggest that cognitive neurosciences do have important and fundamental insights to provide concerning the collective response observed within these populations. More precisely, we propose the hypothesis that differences in the propensity to adopt a holistic perception of contamination processes at the group level, involving brain structures that are also associated with perspective taking and empathy, in particular the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), could contribute to explain the differences in virus diffusion observed between Western and Eastern countries.
Language, Theory of Mind, and Executive Function Skills in Deaf Children with Spoken Language Multilingualism
Authors: Wright Emily , Stojanovik Vesna , Serratrice Ludovica
Published: June 2023

Increasing numbers of deaf children around the world use multiple spoken languages, with or without a signed language(s) as well. A complex relationship exists between language ability, executive function (EF), and Theory of Mind (ToM), and deaf children can be at risk of difficulties in all three areas of development. Research on language outcomes in children with spoken language multilingualism (SLM) is highly varied, and the development of EF and ToM in this population has not yet been explored. This study examined the language and cognitive (EF and ToM) abilities of five deaf children with SLM compared to five deaf oral monolingual children, five hearing multilingual children and five hearing monolingual children. The children were matched as closely as possible on demographic factors (including age, gender and parental education), as well as on their audiological profile for the deaf children (including age of diagnosis, type/degree of deafness and type of technology used). English language abilities in expressive vocabulary and morphosyntax were tested, and the multilingual deaf and hearing children’s home language(s) was also indirectly assessed using parental reports. Results showed that deaf children with SLM performed in the same range as the other three groups on both the measures of EF and ToM, and morphosyntactic abilities in English. Expressive vocabulary skills in English were lowest for the deaf children with SLM; however, three out of five children scored above average compared to monolingual test norms. Parental ratings of the children’s home language skills were also very similar for the multilingual deaf and hearing children. Deaf children with SLM can achieve linguistic competency in at least two spoken languages and develop EF and ToM abilities in line with their hearing peers. Professionals should therefore not discourage multilingual parents from raising their deaf child with multiple spoken languages.
ChatGPT Is More Likely to Be Perceived as Male Than Female
Authors: Wong Jared , Kim Jin
Published: June 2023

We investigate how people perceive ChatGPT, and, in particular, how they assign human-like attributes such as gender to the chatbot. Across five pre-registered studies (N = 1,552), we find that people are more likely to perceive ChatGPT to be male than female. Specifically, people perceive male gender identity (1) following demonstrations of ChatGPT’s core abilities (e.g., providing information or summarizing text), (2) in the absence of such demonstrations, and (3) across different methods of eliciting perceived gender (using various scales and asking to name ChatGPT). Moreover, we find that this seemingly default perception of ChatGPT as male can reverse when ChatGPT’s feminine-coded abilities are highlighted (e.g., providing emotional support for a user).

This study explores the utilization of the PalTalk chat application by the Eritrean diaspora as a platform for solidarity building and long-distance activism against totalitarianism in their home country between 2000 and 2016. The objective of this research is to analyze the role of Eritrean PalTalk as a transnational mobilization network, with a particular focus on “Smer” room, one of the most popular Eritrean PalTalk groups ( Smer is “unite” in Tigrinya). The study delves into the evolution, struggles, and milestones of “Smer” room and illustrates how Eritrean migrants, living under a regime where private press is banned and criticism of the government is not tolerated, utilized chat rooms as safe spaces for solidarity building and public opinion construction. Additionally, the research considers how PalTalk may have enabled diaspora Eritreans to overcome fears of punishment from the repressive state, and how chat room patrons planned and mobilized diasporic mass demonstrations in Europe demanding the stepping down of their state leader.

The Comparative Theologian at Home and Abroad
Authors: Clooney Francis Xavier
Published: June 2023

[Figure: see text]

This essay addresses the question of the home of the comparative theologian, arguing that it is not inappropriate for a theologian to have a home, whence the comparative theological work is undertaken, and to which one returns after deep inter-religious learning. Inter-religious learning impresses upon us the value of having a home; certain poetic traditions make it almost impossible to imagine writing from nowhere, without a strong sense of personal place and of the place one visits in study. “Having a home” is also a matter of being willing to be accountable, explaining oneself to the community to which one belongs. The essay speaks of the author's many visits to India, showing how they have accentuated the dynamics of home, going abroad, and returning home.
Theologians and their Homes (or the Lack Thereof): The Quest for Truth and the Question of Belonging
Authors: Thatamanil John J.
Published: June 2023

Much depends on questions of belonging and home. If one must, by definition, belong to a single home community to do theology, then the use of the term “theology” in both comparative theology and Theology Without Walls is equivocal. Transreligious theologians refuse to stipulate that theology must be done for a theologian's home community. But the term “theology” might be understood in another sense—the existentially invested quest for religious truth that does not require a primary religious home. With this understanding, theology is existentially serious and committed reflection, whereas truth-seeking that entails no existential commitment (with or without a home) might go by another label, such as “philosophy of religion.” After all, the philosopher of religion may well be agnostic or atheist. But two further sets of distinctions must follow: 1) the distinction between a) transformative truth accessed through the specific therapeutic regimes of a particular home tradition and b) public truth that requires no transformation but only publicly defensible epistemological warrants; and 2) the means of arriving at a) transformative truth on the one side and b) publicly available truth claims on the other. What I know by way of experience ( anubhava) or a scriptural revelation ( śruti) is particular to how my tradition accesses transformative truth. When I seek to publicly defend the content of that experience or scripture, I must engage all comers by means of knowing and disputation that are acceptable to all and do not depend on belonging to or accepting the internal norms of a home tradition. Avoiding muddled debates between comparative theology and TWW requires keeping these distinctions in view.

The study was carried out to determine the impact of Interactive Smart Board (ISB) usage on technical students’ learning outcomes (achievement and motivation). The study adopted a quasi-experimental design and was carried out at First Technical University, Ibadan. The study's population consisted of 276 students enrolled in GST 004, with a sample size of 90. GST 004 was taught using ISB, and a pre-test and post-test were performed. The mean, standard deviation, t-test, and p-value were used to record and interpret the results. A questionnaire was also distributed to assess pupils' motivation. The results showed improved achievement scores and increased levels of motivation by the students who were taught using ISB, compared with those students who use the traditional method only. Results obtained from a pre-test/post-test revealed that students in the experimental group (taught using ISB) had a higher mean achievement score (23.06) and a higher mean gain score (15.27) than the control group (taught using the traditional method; mean achievement score 9.92, mean gain score 7.34). Further results from a motivation questionnaire showed that the experimental group had significantly higher scores than the control group on all three subscales of the questionnaire (Procedural Skills Rating, Interest/Enjoyment, and Perceived Choice), with the highest difference being for the Procedural Skills Rating subscale. The overall motivation score for the experimental group was also much higher than that of the control group. These findings suggest that ISB technologies have the potential to transform educational practices in Nigeria as the country strives to provide students with a quality education that meets the best global standards while also recasting itself as an innovative, efficient, and adaptable economy capable of competing in our modern world.

Diversos estudios demuestran que la inclusión de polinizadores, como las abejas Apis mellifera, generan efectos positivos sobre la productividad de cultivos de durazno (Prunus persica). Esto lleva a probar metodologías que estimulen a las abejas para visitar, con mayor frecuencia, el cultivo de interés, sugiriendo el uso de la técnica de osmoguiado, como herramienta para potencializar el efecto de la polinización. Este estudio valoró un protocolo de osmoguiado, para estimular híbridos africanizados de Apis mellifera, a recolectar polen de flores de durazno, utilizando, como indicador indirecto, el análisis palinológico en muestras de polen. Los tratamientos utilizados fueron con osmoguiado y sin osmoguiado. Cada tratamiento contó con tres colmenas y el periodo de evaluación fue de cinco semanas, coincidiendo con el mayor periodo de floración del durazno. Los resultados evidenciaron que este protocolo no logró estimular a las abejas a visitar la flor de durazno para la búsqueda de polen. La disponibilidad permanente de otras plantas productoras de polen, reportadas previamente como importantes en el aporte de este recurso, pudo influir en la selección de fuentes por parte de las abejas. El polen obtenido provino, principalmente, de plantas de las familias Fabaceae, Asteraceae, Malvaceae y Passifloraceae.

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, the need to improve the efficiency of material grinding processes has increased. One of the criteria for the effectiveness of the process is the product fineness. There are various types of mills for grinding materials, one of which is stirred media mills. The article presents the results of experimental studies of a new design of stirred media mill on the example of sand particles size reduction. The principle of operation of the new mill is based on the organization of complex radial and axial impact on the particles of the material by grinding balls. To ensure this principle, a typical stirred media mill design includes an ellipsoidal rotor and a vibratory drive with springs. The results of the study demonstrated that the maximal product fineness of the mill with an initial sand particle size of 100 μm accounted for 2.32 μm, which is 2.6 times higher than the product fineness obtained in typical stirred media mill designs.
