Mutant Status of the P-53 Gene in Relation with microRNA, as an Unfavorable Marker in Breast Cancer, a Systematic Review
Authors: Udristioiu Aurelian , Giubelan Alexandru , Delia Nica-Badea
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACT

Breast cancer affects more than one million patients annually in the world and is a leading cause of mortality. Histological type, grade, tumor size, lymph node involvement, and estrogen receptor and HER-2 receptor status, all influence prognosis and the probability of response to systemic therapies.

Purpose:

Aim of this work was to emphasize possible links between alterations of the P-53 gene, together with its protein, in the pathological features of breast cancer, resistant to a conventional therapy.

Method:

New genetic technologies were investigated to promote a stronger anti-oncogene response, using both RNA-based p53 vaccines and the likelihood of response to specific oncological therapies.

Results:

Studies have shown that mutant P-53 gene had a strongly unfavorable prognostic factor for relapse-free survival and overall survival only in a triple-negative group in patients treated with adjuvant anthracycline-containing chemotherapy. The adjuvanted vaccine induced the type T1 cells helper response in most patients. However, the response has not yet been shown to be strong enough to be beneficial as monotherapy and most patients have had T-helper cells that have failed to produce effective cytokines to kill cancer cells. The results of these studies justified attempts to discover and apply the new vaccines to cancer patients using p53-derived peptides.

Conclusions:

Conditions of the mutant P-53 gene or deletion of 17p chromosome were an unfavorable prognostic factor for the survival of patients, treated with adjuvant chemotherapy, in the groups with triple-negative forms of BC.
Understanding the Dynamics of the Renewable Energy Transition: A Determinant Index Approach
Authors: Yılmaz Fatih
Published: February 2022

Renewable energy is a key component of global energy transitions. To better identify its dynamics, this study constructs a composite index to measure countries’ renewable energy transition potential. Based on two decades of academic research, we identify 45 main enabling factors of the renewable energy transition. We classify these factors into seven subindices: economic factors, financial development, human capital, energy access, energy security, environmental sustainability and institutional infrastructure. We then aggregate the subindices into a composite index, which we call the renewable energy transition potential index. This index and its subindices are available for 149 countries for the period from 1990 to 2018.

Published: February 2022

Fisheries resources exploitation is an open access business in Nigeria and the instrument or gear utilized come in various forms, sizes and shapes. The mesh sizes and gear types were investigated in riparian communities of Amassoma and Ogoubiri at Igbedi creek, Bayelsa State with the objectives to note the mesh sizes and gear types utilized in these communities. A total of 100 structured questionnaires was administered and retrieved from active fishers in the landing sites. Descriptive statistics such as simple percentage method, tables and charts were used to examine the mesh size and gear types utilized in the study area. The results obtained from the study revealed that the mesh sizes used ranges from 19 mm to 105 mm with a mean of 59.9±24.3 and 56.8±25.8 in Ogoubiri and Amassoma respectively. The types of gear recorded were gillnet (45.6%), cast net (7.7%), purse seine net (5.3%), beach seine net (14.7%), drift net (1.5%), hook and line (10.4%) and traps (14.8%). The length of nets utilized ranged from 68 m to 200 m at the study area. The study established that mesh sizes and gear types in use at the study area may lead to overexploitation of fish species in the study area. The survey of the mesh sizes and gear types used for fishing in riparian communities of Amassoma and Ogoubiri landing sites in Igbedi creek call for urgent need for intervention on the part of Government for policy review and implementation, so as to ensure sustainable use of the aquatic resources.
The influence of studying abroad on word-production acquisition and intercultural growth of Indonesian EFL learner
Authors: Hifni Hanifah , Fahriany Fahriany
Published: February 2022

This paper explores how an English Foreign Language learner who studies abroad acquires and develops her vocabularies according to the subjects’ perspective. The concept of studying abroad in the target language country can lead to the improvement of the language as well as the individual intercultural growth and perspective. Numerous statistical studies on the importance of studies abroad (SA) have mainly identified language acquisition as a successful way. Students who also lived abroad are exposed by other cultural environment, and therefore offering them to experienced cultural differences. Through the interpretation of the interview results, the research reports the learner’s word-knowledge development in the light of their studying abroad (SA) experience. One reason for anyone in learning foreign language is when they move out with their relatives in order to navigate with new worlds, new people, new cultures, and many other things of the country. This research shows that friends in the neighborhood and school contribute greatly to language development. The results showed that internal and external influences affected the English accomplishment of the participant. It turned out, the English proficiency influenced by intrinsic motivation, attitude, personality, cognitive style, and learning strategy. While the external influences of the participant were schooling, curriculum, motivation, and culture in her surroundings. The results show that motivation and anxiety are closely related to the English output.
Confirmation of Indonesian EFL Students' Achievement and Views in Translation through Mobile-Assisted Language Learning
Authors: Pudjiati Danti , Sianna  , Fitria Tira Nur
Published: February 2022

MALL in translation is increasingly prevalent among Indonesian EFL students due to ICT development and practical usage in teaching and learning. In addressing this issue, this research assessed the students' success and understanding by using MALL to translate a coronavirus text. There are four issues to consider: 1) Is MALL helpful in improving students' translation abilities? 2) How do students see MALL translate a text from English to Indonesian? 3) How does MALL help them cope with language competency when translating a text from English to Indonesian? 4) What challenges do students have while translating a text from English to Indonesian using MALL? This research was performed using qualitative and quantitative methods (Mix Methods). The research possessed 85 undergraduate students from East Jakarta and South Sulawesi as the respondents. Data was amassed through an online survey, a semi-structured interview, and document analysis. After attending the MALL online learning session, a paired-sample t-test indicated a significantly different score across the students. According to the survey, interview, and document analysis findings, they had a positive attitude about MALL for translation. They had acquired powerful support in terms of word order, word choice, and sentence structure. Nonetheless, most of them agreed that the technical issue and the lack of assistance were the most significant obstacles to successfully operating the MALL for translation.
Embodied Comprehension: Treatment of Psychosomatic Disorders in Bioenergetic Analysis
Authors: Clauer Jörg
Published: February 2022

Bioenergetic Analysis should prove to be the method of choice in the treatment of psychosomatic diseases. Patients with psychosomatic dissociation need an embodied dialogue with the parent-body of the therapist, i.e. non-verbal somatosensory awareness and attachment as well as verbal dialogue. For the basic construction of a new embodied self the three Ss are needed: Slowness, Safety and Support. In this way the process of therapy supports bodily self-awareness and agency, and a change in the implicit relational knowledge of patient and therapist is co-created. Inevitably, the therapist shares the dissociation of the patient and attunement is disrupted again. By acknowledging his »faults« the therapist regains his self-regulation and is thus available for the regulation of the patient’s somatosensory states and emotions. The new implicit knowledge leads to changes in the »mental organizing principles«. This is shown by an extended case history of ulcerative colitis. Finally exercises and techniques helpful in the work with psychosomatic as well as traumatized patients are described. In this context triangulation is a useful concept.
Bioenergetics In Search Of A Secure Self

Specifically, it explores the use of the body, its energy and sexuality as substitutes for a secure relationship with a caregiver.
Sensitivity Training during Pregnancy: Key to Bonding and Possible Prevention of Neurosis of the Child?
Authors: Ventling Christa D.
Published: February 2022

The prime importance of the quality of mother-child bonding has been known for many years among psychotherapists; however, this is not common knowledge for most mothers-to-be. Thus a pregnant client is a chance and a challenge for a body psychotherapist: 1.We can assist the mother-to-be to form a deep bonding with the baby before birth already by educating her about the neurobiological changes occurring during pregnancy and the expected degree of development of the infant at birth. 2. We can offer special awareness exercises (described here in detail) which improve perception of all senses (seeing, hearing, touching and smelling) and thus sharpen the mother-to-be’s sensitivity for her environment, especially for the signals the baby will send out. The work described here aims to help the pregnant client to tune into the body language of the baby as a prerequisite for a deep and loving bonding. It could also be a preventive measure for a later neurosis of the child. Two short case vignettes will illustrate the approach.
Standing on both Legs: A Bioenergetic Perspective on the Family, Gender Roles and the Development of the Self in the 21st Century
Authors: Cockburn Garry
Published: February 2022

How does Bioenergetics, which is focused on the body of the individual, articulate its concerns about the family and gender roles? And how can we add new ideas to Bioenergetics without betraying Alexander Lowen’s essential ideas, whose integrity he strongly protected? The model of ‘suspicion and recovery’ of Paul Ricoeur, the French philosopher, allows us to discover what is unexamined, unexplored or repressed in Lowen’s ideas on the body and the self. This hermeneutic perspective enables us to examine the otherness of the embodied self in a way that honors Lowen’s genius and his emphasis on the body. It also provides a way to critique the historical limitations of Lowen’s views on the development of the self, the family and gender roles, and provides a pathway for incorporating new knowledge into Bioenergetics.
Bioenergetic Analysis and Contemporary Psychotherapy: Further Considerations
Authors: Klopstech Angela
Published: February 2022

This article attempts to make a case for the integration of neuroscience research and theory into the field of Bioenergetic Analysis, and body psychotherapy in general. It is argued that such an integration might lead to a better dialogue between body psychotherapies and more traditional schools of therapy. After discussing basic neuroscience terms a basic bioenergetic concept, «energetic charge”, is reviewed in the light of neuropsychological models; in this context the concept of a «window of tolerance” comes into play. Then, illuminated by the description of two concrete therapy situations, the author demonstrates how body oriented interventions might have an influence on brain activity. This, it is argued, points to the necessity of more focus on the body in traditional psychotherapy, as well as to the necessity of integrating appropriate body oriented interventions into the repertoire of traditional psychotherapy. In this context, a propositon for ‘multi-lingual’ understanding and language, bioenergetic, neuropsychological and relational, is made, in order to ease our communication with other modalities.
Your Core Energy is Within Your Grasp
Authors: Shapiro Bennett
Published: February 2022

This paper, an abridgement of a 55-page paper, Curling: Exercises and Notes, highlights a new gentle approach to stimulating instinctual life-energy, helping restore natural energetic pulsation, and providing containment for building boundaries. A soft curling and uncurling of the fingers and/or toes, in rhythm with the regular breathing pattern, brings up a mild, expansive, pleasurable energetic charge, which can then be augmented with simple body movements, eyes and words to help repossess repressed natural instincts. If stronger, more assertive energy is desired, the curl can be held tighter and longer. This paper outlines six Curling exercises, useful both in the therapeutic setting and as self-help. The exercises can be done standing, sitting or lying down, and can be both relaxing and/or revitalizing. Some exercises can be done in bed, for helping to fall asleep, for example, or for an invigorating way to wake up.

The author explores ways in which her process in training and her process in her own therapy impact her growth and understanding of her countertransference.
Helping Children Discharge Negative Aggression
Authors: McCarthy Dennis
Published: February 2022

This article examines the need for children in treatment to be able to discharge negative aggression and describes various means of helping them do so. Through case material and anecdote I focus on the capacity for dynamic play therapy to facilitate pulsation, obvious in the child’s play configurations and their bodies in movement. Every child I work with engages in the expression of negative aggression to some extent and this aggression is often in and of itself a significant component in solving the myriad problems they bring with them. This text is largely influenced by the work of Dr. Alexander Lowen as well as the thousands of children I have worked with.

The Lyceum in Twilight: Athens’ “Second School” and its Struggle to Re-Invent Itself and Survive in the Last Years of the Roman Republic
Authors: Wick David P.
Published: February 2022

After the Athenian crisis of the early 80’s, which saw the ancient city held hostage between an Anatolian military expedition (whose leader at least claimed some intellectual credentials from Athenian schools including the Lyceum) and a renegade Roman with only the most cynical interest in heritage or culture, the schools of Athens – in particular the “peripatetic” school which dated back to Aristotle – faced challenges of identity, recruiting students, and in holding its own, perhaps too “peripatetic,” faculty. In early post-classical and Hellenistic times the second and third generation Lyceum had been successful, even when it had lost intellectual “stars” like Theophrastus, and (worse) its original library, to rivals like Pergamum – but as the other schools attracted career-minded students from the west, Aristotle’s foundation of a broad-minded liberal arts approach to learning in the Lyceum grove was in danger. The Lyceum seems actually to have failed for a time, or at least to have limped through the middle first century with faculty borrowed from the Akademe, in spite of a reputation for teaching practical politics which neither the Epicureans nor the Stoics could substitute for very well. Experts of the Aristotelian sort found either too-attractive employment in an Italy closer to the centers of power, or too strong a lure toward traveling consulting positions with neophyte Romans trying to learn the eastern Mediterranean “on their jobs.” At its Athenian home, it moved a significant part of its teaching into the city and melded it into the ephebeia or “civic school” for young Athenian citizens (but in the new Athens, those included a more and more multi-cultural mix of foreign youth as the Republic’s business class and students arrived in town). And then, it also attracted those in retirement from the turmoil of the disintegrating Republic, who valued the Lyceum more as a refuge than as a provider of power-skills for “players,” the sort of thing the Akademe or the Epicurean ‘Garden’ did. The solution itself endangered Aristotle’s idea for the school. As the Republic died, the “Peripatetic” school’s greatest teachers were more often on the road with its “players” than home. What it kept at its home, though, it re-invested in the educational life of its own city. The Lyceum, like the Stoa, found its new Athenian home “downtown” in more ways than one, and faced challenges quite familiar both in modern “peripatetic” and in “career-direct” higher education.
Change of Status, Change of Art
Authors: Prelipceanu Raluca
Published: February 2022

The changes in art and the changes in the status of Orthodox icon painters from Transylvania during the 18th and early 19th centuries are closely linked. This paper looks into the link between the two. During this time, there is an important shift in the condition of the painters from that of mere craftsmen to artists. The main sources used in this paper, besides the paintings themselves and the signatures of the artists are the visitations notes, a few contracts that remain to this day and the painters’ biographies. The article first looks into the status of the painters, then it presents the social and political context of the period. These sections are followed by an analysis of the changes at the level of the art and also by a semantic analysis. The change in the status of Orthodox icon painters can be considered not only by looking into the transformation and development of certain iconographic representations, but also by the study of their signatures. Are all these changes due to the desire of icon painters to acquire a better social status, or are they imposed by the donors and the church authorities? This is the main question addressed in this article. In conclusion, the seeking of social status is intertwined with the demands of the donors, both determining the changes in Orthodox church art.
Public demand drives regulation of sustainable global supply chains in high-income countries
Authors: Kolcava Dennis , Smith E. Keith , Bernauer Thomas
Published: February 2022

In the past few decades, most high-income countries have improved environmental and labor conditions on their respective territory while consumption has strongly increased. One main enabler is international trade. The latter allows for the geographic dissociation of consumption benefits from adverse production impacts. Green economy strategies are seeking to reduce such indirect international externalities by making not only domestic, but also global supply chains more sustainable. Support by consumers and citizens is a key prerequisite for successful policy interventions to this end. To estimate how strong public demand for sustainability regulation of global supply chains is, we conducted survey experiments with representative samples in the world’s 12 largest high-income importing economies with democratic political systems (N 24,000). These account for 45 percent of imports worldwide. The focus is on which policy designs for sustainability governance of international supply chains are likely to be acceptable to the public. The main finding is that, overall, citizens prefer policy instruments with strong reporting requirements and enforcement provisions applied from mid-sized to large firms. These policy preferences are surprisingly consistent across all 12 countries, something we did not expect given vast differences in economic structures and political/regulatory cultures. Within countries, variation in preferences for increased transparency regulation and enforcement is largely driven by environmental concern and political ideology. Our results point to substantial, cross-national public opinion mandates for new policies to green global supply chains.

High-resolution Ge-Si-Fe, Cr isotope and Th-U data for the Neoarchean Temagami BIF, Canada, suggest primary origin of BIF bands and oxidative terrestrial weathering 2.7 Ga ago
Authors: Bau Michael , Frei Robert , Garbe-Schoenberg Dieter , Viehmann Sebastian
Published: February 2022

ABSTRACTUnique deposits that formed in the Precambrian oceans are the Banded Iron-Formations (BIFs) which are chemical sediments comprised of alternating layers of iron- and silica-dominated precipitates. The origin of this enigmatic banding is still debated, with most favoring a primary sedimentary and a few others arguing for a secondary diagenetic origin. We here used a high-resolution integrated multi-proxy approach and report on the Ge-Si-Fe and Th-U systematics and on the isotopic composition of Cr in exceptionally pure adjacent magnetite and metachert bands from the ~2.7 billion years old Temagami BIF, Ontario, Canada. While each of the geochemical proxies alone may still be controversially discussed, our multi-proxy approach sheds new light on their applicability, as the two types of adjacent BIF bands are characterised by distinct geochemical signatures. The magnetite bands show super-crustal (i.e. fractionated) Ge/Si ratios approaching those of modern marine high-temperature hydrothermal fluids, unfractionated Th/U ratios similar to those of crustal rocks, and unfractionated Cr isotope ratios similar to "Bulk Silicate Earth". Adjacent metachert bands, however, show lower (i.e. unfractionated) Ge/Si ratios close to those of modern seawater, river water and crustal rocks, sub-crustal (i.e. fractionated) Th/U ratios and fractionated Cr isotope ratios above those of Bulk Silicate Earth. The composition of the magnetite bands suggests that the original iron-oxyhydroxide precipitated during periods when the Ge, Th, U, and Cr inventory of seawater was dominated by input from mafic crust via anoxic high-temperature hydrothermal fluids. In contrast, the composition of the metachert bands indicates that these formed during times when seawater was dominated by low-temperature riverine input from an evolved landmass that despite its Neoarchean age had provided environments for oxidative Cr and U mobilization during terrestrial weathering. This suggests that habitats with oxygenic photosynthesis may have existed almost 400 million years before the GOE. The systematic difference between the geochemical signature shown by the two types of adjacent BIF bands also demonstrates that the prominent banding of BIFs is a primary depositional feature reflecting precipitation from different watermasses and is not the result of post-depositional separation of an initially homogenous chemical sediment.
Heralds of a Future Eruption? Swarms of Microseismicity beneath the submarine Kolumbo Volcano indicate Opening of near-vertical Fractures exploited by ascending Melts
Authors: Schmid Florian , Petersen Gesa , Hooft Emilie , Paulatto Michele , Chrapkiewicz Kajetan , Hensch Martin , Dahm Torsten
Published: February 2022

The Kolumbo submarine volcano in the southern Aegean (Greece) is associated with repeated seismic unrest since at least two decades and the causes of this unrest are still hardly understood. We present a ten-month long microseismicity dataset for the period 2006-2007. The majority of earthquakes clusters in a cone-shaped portion of the crust below Kolumbo. The tip of this cone coincides with a low Vp-anomaly at 2-4 km depth, that is interpreted as a crustal melt reservoir. Our dataset includes several earthquake swarms, of which we analyse the four strongest in detail. The swarms occupy near-vertical volumes of the crust and together they form a zone of fracturing elongated in SW-NE direction, parallel to major regional faults. All four swarms show a general upward migration of hypocentres and the cracking front propagates unusually fast, compared to swarms in other volcanic areas. We conclude that the swarm seismicity is most likely triggered by a combination of pore-pressure perturbations and the re-distribution of elastic stresses. Fluid pressure perturbations are induced either by obstructions in the melt conduits in a rheologically strong layer between 6-9 km depth or by dynamic triggering from purely tectonic earthquakes. We conclude that the zone of fractures below Kolumbo is exploited by melts ascending from the mantle and filling the crustal melt reservoir. Together with the recurring seismic unrest, our study suggests that a future eruption is feasible and monitoring of the Kolumbo volcanic system is highly advisable.
Extracting blinks from continuous eye-tracking data in a mind wandering paradigm
Authors: Hollander John , Huette Stephanie
Published: February 2022

Mind wandering is a universal phenomenon in which a person’s attention decouples from stimuli within their current environment. Researchers have sought objective, less disruptive indicators of cognitive disengagement, resulting in a focus eye tracking and blink characteristics. Such research has found positive associations between mind wandering and blink characteristics, typically in reading tasks. However, extracting blinks accurately from continuous eye-tracking data is complex, and the literature contains inconsistently reported data processing methods, some of which may have an elevated risk of identifying noise as signal. Further, the relationship between attentional disengagement and blink durations has not been fully explored in multiple task modalities. We conducted three modality-specific experiments while recording eye movements. Blink durations varied as a function of stimulus/task engagingness; less engaging tasks yielded longer blink durations, suggesting a link between blinking and mind wandering. Recommendations are provided for researchers seeking to accurately derive blink events from continuous, binocular, eye-tracking data.

Adolescence is a window of opportunity for youth worldwide. However, it is also a phase in which many behavioral or emotional problems emerge. In this inaugural address (in Dutch), I present an overview of research on how parenting may contribute to adolescent well-being - as well as the limitations of existing nomothetic work. With new technology, such as Experience Sampling methods, we can now study the daily lives of adolescents, and discover whether and to which extent each child is unique. Finally, I present novel eHealth tools which may help to promote well-being through personalized feedback, and my vision on how scientists may achieve such innovative solutions.
Negative expectations regarding interpersonal interactions in daily life are associated with subclinical depressive symptoms in a student sample: A prospective experience sampling study
Authors: Lüdtke Thies , Westermann Stefan
Published: February 2022

Background. Dysfunctional expectations and interpersonal problems are central aspects of depression, but expectations regarding everyday-life interpersonal interactions have not been studied, yet. Using Experience Sampling, we measured expected emotions towards interaction partners and compared them with actual emotions. We hypothesized that stable negative expectations would predict sub-clinical depression and negative affect.Methods. Fifty-three students completed six days of Experience Sampling, consisting of one morning assessment on expectations regarding anticipated interpersonal interactions (9am), three assessments on actual interpersonal experiences (1pm, 5pm, 9pm), and six pseudo-random affect assessments. We compared expected emotions, experienced emotions, and day-to-day fluctuations of expectations between individuals with high versus low sub-clinical depression (median split). Using mixed models, we examined whether negative expectations preceded negative affect, and whether expectation violations preceded adjustments of expectations. Results. Individuals with higher depression expected more negative emotions, even after controlling for negative experiences, and surprisingly more variable expectations. In mixed models, neither momentary expectations nor experiences preceded negative affect, but worse-than-expected interpersonal interactions did. Better-than-expected interactions predicted reductions of negative expectations, but less so in the high-depression group. Conclusions. Our findings are limited by the non-clinical sample and skewed data. Nonetheless, our approach appears well-suited to examine idiosyncratic interpersonal expectations in vivo.

As conventional non-renewable energy is becoming increasingly scarce, the development of renewable energies, such as solar energy, has become a major priority in today's world. In this study, it has developed an approach to simulate solar radiation on rooftops of Paschimanchal Campus and estimate the solar photovoltaic (PV) potential using Photogrammetry and GIS techniques. The object-based method was used to extract and classify buildings using very high-resolution data: orthophoto, the UAV-derived Digital Surface Model, and Digital Terrain Model raster layers. For more accurate estimation of solar panel installations, the evaluation of solar radiation is essential and the amount of solar radiation that was converted into solar PV potential depends upon the technical characteristics of the panel (technology used: monocrystalline or polycrystalline). Subsequently, the evaluated cost of solar panel installation was compared to the cost of grid-based electricity of the study area. The result obtained shows that 18 rooftops of the buildings are the most suitable place for solar panel installation and their usable area is 4303.67m². 32 For polycrystalline and monocrystalline technologies, the annual PV power generation in the study area is 868 MWh/ yr and 1274 MWh/yr respectively. It was found that 1428.42m² of the suitable area was enough to fulfill the yearly demand of Paschimanchal Campus. For polycrystalline technologies, around 876 panels costing NRS.1,57,68,000 are required. The cost analysis of 10 years concludes solar energy will be cheaper than grid-based electricity by NRS.1,04,10,785.

Kabupaten Labuhanbatu Utara telah mengalokasikan dana Desa sejak tahun 2014 dengan harapan pembangunan semakin merata sampai ke tingkat desa. Terdapat 57 Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes) yang berstatus aktif sejak tahun 2018, namun berdasarkan jumlah tersebut posisi BUMDes rata-rata masih pada posisi cluster rintisan, dimana ditandai dengan sistem manajemen masih tradisional, SDM terbatas dan pemasaran yang belum memadai. Agar rakyat pedesaan dapat mengembangkan potensi, sehingga tidak dirugikan dan lebih diuntungkan, maka diperlukan arus balik dalam pemerataan sumber daya alam dan kebijakan. Permasalahan memilih dan menentukan jenis usaha yang akan dijalankan oleh BUMDes merupakan masalah yang harus dituntaskan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan campuran (mix methods) antara kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan studi kasus sebagai strategi penelitian. Data di peroleh dari wawancara, observasi dan kuesioner. Analisis data deskriptif dengan menggabungkan analisis SWOT. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa BUMDes di Kecamatan Kualuh Selatan, Kabupaten Labuhanbatu Utara tersebut secara umum sudah cukup baik, meskipun ada beberapa hal yang masih perlu dibenahi dalam hal pemilihan jenis usaha yang kurang sesuai kebutuhan masyarakat, belum memiliki sumber daya yang memadai. Peran kepala Desa dan Badan Perwakilan Desa (BPD) dan Direktur BUMDes sudah terjalin komunikasi yang baik. Keterlibatan Dinas Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Desa sangat diperlukan untuk mensosialisasikan pendirian, rekrutmen pengelolaan BUMDes, penguatan kapasitas SDM dan pendampingan aktif BUMDes oleh SKPD terkait sebagai suatu rangkaian model.

Baja  adalah  logam  paduan  dengan  besi  sebagai  unsur  dasar  dan karbon sebagai unsur paduan utamanya. Kandungan karbon dalam baja berkisar antara 0.2% hingga 2.1% berat sesuai grade-nya. Penambahan kandungan karbon pada baja dapat meningkatkan kekerasan (hardness) dan kekuatan tariknya (tensile strength), namun di sisi lain membuatnya menjadi getas (brittle) serta menurunkan keuletannya (ductility). Steelmaking adalah proses produksi baja dari bijih besi dan/atau scrap . Dalam pembuatan baja, pengotor seperti nitrogen , silikon , fosfor , belerang dan kelebihan karbon (pengotor yang paling penting) dihilangkan dari sumber besi, dan elemen paduan seperti mangan, nikel, kromium, karbon, dan vanadium ditambahkan untuk menghasilkan nilai yang berbeda dari baja. Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) adalah salah satu teknologi yang umum dan popular digunakan dalam industri baja. EAF digunakan untuk memproduksi baja karbon dan baja paduan terutama dengan mendaur ulang scrap besi. Dalam EAF, scrap dan / atau unit besi yang diproduksi - seperti DRI, pig iron, besi karbida dilebur dan diubah menjadi baja berkualitas tinggi menggunakan busur listrik daya tinggi tanpa mengubah sifat elektrokimia logam. Pemuatan scrap (scrap charging) dapat dilakukan dengan 2 metode  yaitu sistem pemuatan scrap dengan bucket (conventional charging) dan sistem pemuatan scrap secara kontinyu (continuous scrap charging). Metode pemuatan scrap ini berpengaruh pada jalannya proses peleburan mulai dari electrical power maupun lama waktu proses peleburannya.
