Authors: Bawan Elias K. , Al Hasibi Rahmat A.
Published: December 2022

A model of regional energy planning has been developed based for West Papua province. Regional energy planning had two major scenario which are baseline and mitigation scenario. Mitigation scenario consisted of energy efficiency and fuel switch scenarios. A baseline scenario has been used to reflect energy demand without any intervention of new energy policy in the province. Energy efficiency scenario describe the impact of more efficiency vehicle and appliance in energy consumption. In transportation sector, energy efficiency scenario included a mode change scenario. The use of renewable energy has been included in fuel switch scenario. In supply side planning, renewable energy sources have been accommodated to meet a portion of electricity demand. The model of regional energy planning has been implemented by Long-range Energy Alternative Planning software. The result indicated that the same goal of regional development program can be achieved with less emission. By the implementation of mitigation scenario, overall energy demand in the end of projection period can be reduced by 16.63 PJ compare to the baseline. As an impact, global warming potential is 15.89% less by mitigation scenario compare to baseline scenario. It can be concluded that the emission intensity by the implementation of mitigation scenario is 8.93 Thousand Ton CO2 Equivalent/Billion USD.

Published: December 2022

Scrum is one of the most used agile approaches in the software industry. However, some aspects can hinder its implementation, e.g., the lack of detail of artifacts, meetings, generation of the product backlog, and team composition, among others. This paper presents Mr. Scrum, a Scrum reference model obtained from comparing existing Scrum guides and applying the GQM (Goal-Question-Metric) paradigm. Mr. Scrum proposes a clear and complete set of process elements, as well as: purpose, objectives, phases, activities, roles, satisfactory-expected results, and process flows. The proposed model was evaluated through a focus group where its suitability, clarity, and completeness were evaluated. The findings show that the participants agree with the acceptance of the proposed model and that its use in the industry could motivate and facilitate the adoption, implementation, and evaluation of the Scrum implementation. In this sense, Mr. Scrum would allow professionals and organizations to be guided toward a better understanding of Scrum and minimize the subjectivity and error of its interpretation, adoption, and assessment.

Published: December 2022

Roof is the most affected building envelope element by local climate changes such as solar radiation, rain, wind, etc. The design of a building's roof will have a significant impact on the building's thermal conditions and comfort. This study aims to numerically analyze and optimize the slope of a gable roof on an 8 m Ã— 12 m residential building with 3 m walls located in a tropical climate region. The parameter analyzed in this parametric study on galvanized steel gable roofs is the slope angle impact in the interval between 150 to 450, with an angle increment at 50. The thermal aspect of the analyzed building is modeled numerically using the TRNSYS simulation tool coupled with CONTAM for aerodynamic modeling. The results showed that the greater the roof slope angle, the more comfortable the room condition was due to the amount of heat release that occurred in the attic zone before penetration into the occupation zone. Otherwise, the greater the angle of inclination, the greater the roof geometry that leads to construction material addition for the frame and roof covering. Therefore, it is necessary to perform numerical analysis to determine the optimal slope of a gable roof that provides maximum thermal comfort in a room with low roofing material requirements. Analysis and optimization of convective heat dissipation from the attic zone through natural ventilation or infiltration to reduce indoor thermal gain is an outlook for further research.

Published: December 2022

Cancer is one of the most common causes of death in the globe. The development of new cancer medicines and the identification of new therapeutic targets is still a pressing necessity. The protein AKR1B10 was discovered to be a valuable biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of some malignancies. Over expression of the AKR1B10 gene is found in lung cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, breast cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic cancer and liver cancer. AKR1B10 is implicated in detoxification, retinoic acid metabolism, and lipid synthesis, among other pathological actions. AKR1B10 is known to be carcinogenic and can be utilized as a tumor marker, according to research. The tetraprenyltoluquinone compound is an isolate from the bark of kandis (Garcinia cowa, Roxb) which has been reported to have anticancer activity in vivo and in vitro and has the potential to be developed as an anticancer drug derived from natural ingredients. This study aims to determine the activity of the tetraprenyltoluquinone compound in silico with the target of the AKR1B10 protein. The method used is molecular docking using PLANTS (Protein Ligand ANT System) for protein visualization and preparation and Ligplus program for visualizing amino acids. The docking score results showed that the AKR1B10 protein interaction with the test ligand tetraprenyltoluquinone is lower than the native ligand, which means the binding energy of tetraprenyltoluquinone to the AKR1B10 (PDB ID: 1ZUA) protein was higher than the native ligand tolrestat. These results indicate that tetraprenyltoluquinone is a potential inhibitor of the AKR1B10 protein in the pathway of cancer.

Published: December 2022

Flies cohabit with humans, particularly in areas with poor sanitation, producing health problems. Flies serve as vectors for spreading a variety of harmful bacteria, either directly or through food. This research aims to use an ex post facto approach to determine the amount of diversity and distribution patterns of flies in Gampong Jawa, Banda Aceh City, Indonesia. Furthermore, this study can be used as a reference for the sorts of diseases distributed in the community and a factor in fly population control models for the prevention of infectious diseases in the area. The parameters chosen were the diversity index and the fly distribution pattern. Based on the results obtained, the diversity index tended to be low. The moderate diversity index was reached only in clusters 2 (1.02) and 3 (1.08) in the first-day morning, cluster 2 (1.2) in the second-day morning, cluster 3 (1.18) in the morning, and cluster 4 (1.01) in the afternoon of the third-day observation. In terms of distribution pattern parameters, the results obtained for uniform and clumped distribution patterns are the same when seen from the four clusters observed. According to the findings of this study, the fly diversity index in Gampong Jawa is still low, and the distribution pattern is homogeneous and clumped. As a result, to avoid pathogen transmission, a fly control model must be developed.

DCs are highly motile cells whose main function is antigen presentation; they are mediators between innate and adaptive immunity. In this investigation, DCs were differentiated and matured with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), 25 ug/mL and spherical gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) of approximately 30 nm at concentrations of 5 to 200 ug/mL. DCs were obtained from the bone marrow of adult mice; their characterization was performed by means of RT-PCR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal to know their morphology and the location of the nanoparticles inside. The bone marrow DCs (bmDCs) possibly differentiated into cCD1 dendritic cells, their mature morphological status was determined by the presence of co-stimulatory factors (CD40, CD86 and CD11c), in addition to MHC II and CIITA when in contact with AuNPs, the results were confirmed by SEM observation due to their star-like shape. In terms of the location of the AuNPs they would be clustered and outside the nucleus. The discovery of nanoparticles that do not cause significant cytotoxicity, activate dendritic cells, and produce cytokines, causing phenotypic changes in them, enhancing, and modulating the adaptive immune response or generating a targeted immunotherapy in the presence of different pathogens in the organism.
Factors that influence the enzymatic hydrolysis of agricultural wastes for ethanol production: a review
Authors: Santos Natasha Kevellyn dos , Pasquini Daniel , Baffi Milla Alves
Published: December 2022

Lignocellulosic biomass, such as agricultural and forestry residues, can be reused and serve as sources of sugars for the production of second-generation ethanol (2G) and other bioproducts. However, these wastes are composed by molecules of difficult degradation, which require steps of pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis for their bioconversion into fermentable sugars. At the same time, chemical substances with a potential inhibitory effect on the microbial metabolism can also be produced after the pretreatments and hinder the overall yield of the hydrolytic process. For an efficient and low-cost hydrolysis, homemade enzymes produced from agroindustrial residues, such as sugarcane bagasse, can be employed. However, a set of parameters might be adjusted, such as: kind of pretreatment, enzyme load, solids load, hydrolysis time and use of additives, to improve the yields in free sugars using these onsite enzymatic preparations. In this sense, studies involving the optimization of the conditions of pretreatment and saccharification are essential to increase the bioconversion rate of lignocellulose. These strategies are important for the production of value-added products from these wastes and, consequently, offer a correct and profitable destination to them. Hence, this study presents a review of the main features that influence the enzymatic hydrolysis of agricultural wastes and the yield in reducing sugars for ethanol production.

Deposit insurance scheme for individuals in the Visegrad Group states. The deposit guarantee systems that are part of the financial safety net are important elements contributing to the stability of the banking sector. Their existence gives depositors a sense of security, which translates into a higher savings rate in a country. The shape of deposit guarantee systems is adjusted to the banking sector operating in a country, which results in observable differences in individual institutions of this type. This can be noticed, for example, in the Visegrad Group countries, although it was more visible in the period before they joined the European Union, as implementing aspects related to the European Deposit Insurance System is currently underway. Although the applicable international regulations (mainly EU directives) affect the shape of the functioning deposit guarantee systems, there are still differences between them, for example in the method of determining premiums (they consider the risk taken or not, depending on the country). The author chose this group of countries from the Visegrad Group, as they were the first countries from the Eastern bloc to transform the banking sector. A comparative analysis of solutions that were decided in the countries of the Visegrad Group is the aim of the study. The work presents the applicable legal solutions and analyzes indicators e.g., the coverage ratio.

Uniform and normal distributions were analyzed on customer demands to observe the stochastic nature of the problem. These methods were compared by using GAMS with different test problems which were taken from the literature. The clustering analysis including the K-means algorithm also applied on large-sized test problems. All of the obtained results were presented in detail.
Replication-transcription complex of coronaviruses: functions of individual viral non-structural subunits, properties and architecture of their complexes
Authors: Mishchenko E. L. , Ivanisenko V. A.
Published: December 2022

Coronaviruses (CoVs) belong to the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae of the family Coronaviridae. CoVs are enveloped (+) RNA viruses with unusually long genomes. Severe acute respiratory syndrome CoV (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome CoV (MERS-CoV), and the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) have been identif ied as causing global pandemics. Clinically tested vaccines are widely used to control rapidly spreading, acute, and often severe infections; however, effective drugs are still not available. The genomes of SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV are approximately 80 % identical, while the genomes of SARS-CoV-2 and MERS-CoV are approximately 50 % identical. This indicates that there may be common mechanisms of coronavirus pathogenesis and, therefore, potential therapeutic targets for each virus may be the same. The enzymes and effector proteins that make up the replicationtranscription complex (RTC) of coronaviruses are encoded by a large replicase gene. These enzymes and effector proteins represent promising targets for potential therapeutic drugs. The enzyme targets include papain- and 3C-like cysteine proteinases that process two large viral polyproteins, RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RNA helicase, viral genome-modifying enzymes, and enzymes with 3’–5’ exoribonuclease or uridylate-specif ic endonuclease activity. Currently, there are many studies investigating the complex molecular mechanisms involved in the assembly and function of the RTC. This review will encompass current, modern studies on the properties and complexes of individual non-structural subunits of the RTC, the structures of individual coronavirus RTC subunits, domain organization and functions of subunits, protein-protein interactions, properties and architectures of subunit complexes, the effect of mutations, and the identif ication of mutations affecting the viability of the virus in cell culture.

Authors: Xhindi Teuta , Gjika Ira
Published: December 2022

The progress of Western Balkan countries has been influenced by similar factors of a political, social, and geographical nature. Their recent transition into a functional market economy has brought economic growth, but it is accompanied by negative phenomena as well. Stimulating economic development, gender equality, urbanization, human development, and economic freedom challenged these countries. Since the beginning of the 1990-s, international institutions have strongly supported these countries. They have contributed to encouraging advancement, as well as overcoming the obstacles that have been similar in these countries. Corruption is one of them that can hinder development and has consequently attracted the attention of all stakeholders to fight against it. Many indicators are generated in recent decades to measure both economic development and encumbering factors. Analyzing the indicators and comparing them between countries intends to promote their improvement and to identify the best practices at the regional level. This paper aims to examine the relationship between corruption and economic development in Western Balkan countries in the last two decades. The panel time-series autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is used for making the empirical analysis for a period from 2003 to 2019, based on official data from local and international sources. The ARDL model used and the time span of data involved make this study distinct from the other surveys done for the same region. The results from the model application have enabled a detailed analysis and discussion of the main findings. There are recommendations drawn for the future, applicable both at the country and region level, especially with recent advancements of two countries – Albania and North Macedonia – toward EU integration.
International Business Influenced by Quality Environment: A Sociological Appraisal

Published: December 2022

International business is an action widely practiced within the world nations today. It is highly influenced by safe quality of environment. Environment is itself varies in different geographies of the world. Africa as a whole is environmentally unsafe, and its unhealthy situation increases its environmental vulnerability every day. Poor economic conditions, increasing population in cities, high population growth rate, droughts and many more are some of the factors destroying the environment within the entire African nations. However, where environment is destructed, business interactions are slow. All nations today are somehow or the other facing environmental issues. Therefore, the world countries need to improve their environments so that they can enhance their business administration. To develop business, first quality of environment must be improved. We can conclude that a safe environment if the foreground of international business. If environment is reformed and poverty is eradicated, more business will be on move.

MENTIONS OF THE DANUBE IN THE POETRY OF CLAUDIUS CLAUDIANUS
Authors: VUKADINOVIĆ SNEŽANA , SMIRNOV-BRKIĆ ALEKSANDRA
Published: December 2022

Claudian (Claudius Claudianus fl. 395 CE–404 CE) was a late antique poet from the Hellenised East, who rose to fame as the court poet for the western Roman emperor Honorius (393– 423). He came to Rome around 395 CE, and there he began using his talent as a classically trained poet to write panegyrics for wealthy and influential aristocrats and politicians. Claudian is considered one of the best authors of late Roman literature, even though he directed his talents toward propaganda primarily celebrating the well-known military commander Stilicho and writing invectives against Stilicho’s enemies at the court of the eastern Roman emperor Arcadius (395–408). Claudian’s poetry is one of the most valuable sources for the history of this period. In his rich poetic images, he mentions many toponyms, oronyms, and hydronyms, and his knowledge of Balkan geography seems truly enviable. One of the most frequently mentioned hydronyms in Claudian’s poetry are those referring to the river Danube, which he mentions thirty-eight times. In this paper the authors cite and analyse Claudian’s references to the Danube as a river that was a very important natural, political, and cultural border for the ancient world.

AUTHENTICITY IN ETHNIC RESTAURANTS: INVESTIGATING THE ROLES OF ETHNOCENTRISM AND XENOCENTRISM
Authors: Hyun Jonghan , Lee Kiwon
Published: December 2022

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine how perceived authenticity of ethnic restaurants interacts with personality traits (ethnocentrism and xenocentrism) to predict behavioural intentions. Methodology –A self-administered online questionnaire was utilized. First, participants answered questions to measure their level of ethnocentrism or xenocentrism, Next, they were presented with one of two scenarios (low or high authentic ethnic restaurant), followed by questions to measure their behavioural intentions. Approach – A total of 581 responses were analysed using regression analyses to examine the interaction effect of perceived authenticity and personality traits on behavioural intentions toward ethnic restaurants. Findings – Both ethnocentrism and xenocentrism attenuated the positive impact of perceived authenticity on behavioural intention. The extent to which people are influenced by the authenticity of ethnic restaurants was reduced for consumers with higher levels of ethnocentrism and xenocentrism, Originality of the research – This study examined the role of personality traits (ethnocentrism and xenocentrism), which are important but under-researched in the hospitality literature. Such a study is particularly important because a better understanding of these traits could demonstrate, contrary to popular belief, that authenticity is not always a factor in the success of ethnic restaurants.

Published: December 2022

The idea of integrating human knowledge and Islamic values, or Islamization of knowledge, has triggered fruitful discussions, but the concrete output in terms of an ‘Islamized' textbook has not occurred. In this paper, we report practical insights from the textbook writing initiative at Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) to materialize the idea. Our reflection on the ongoing process has identified several challenges. These include diversity of the disciplines, limited exposure to the philosophy of knowledge, lack of ready-to-use integration methods and inadequate mastery of the Islamic legacy. To cope with the challenges, we have taken several actions, including arranging a series of workshops (on the philosophy of knowledge and integration strategies), providing relevant literature and offering technical assistance. In concluding, we present an overview of the future directions that UII will take.Keywords: textbook writing; Islamization of knowledge; integration of human knowledge.
The Value of N-of-1 Data in Zoological Medicine: A Methodological Review

Published: December 2022

N-of-1 data are unavoidable in zoological medicine. Accordingly, zoological medicine clinicians and investigators need research techniques that can make use of these data. This article reviews two methodologies for using both observational and experimental N-of-1 data: 1) systematic reviews and meta-analyses of case reports and 2) prospective N-of-1 trials. Systematic reviews of case reports and other observational evidence are formal, unbiased summaries of clinical characteristics of a particular disease-taxon combination. They offer advantages to narrative reviews by minimizing omission of relevant articles, thereby reducing the potential for mischaracterization of the literature. Meta-analyses are extensions of systematic reviews that quantitatively synthesize the data from the included articles. While valuable, systematic reviews and meta-analyses of case reports can have limited interpretations due to publication bias and confounding present in their source materials. In contrast to case reports, N-of-1 trials are prospective study designs that allow clinicians to make strong inferences about the effect of an intervention in a particular patient. They are double-blinded, single patient, multi-crossover studies that are of particular value in fields where it is difficult to recruit sufficient patients for conventional randomized control trials (RCTs), such as zoological medicine. Because they require multiple crossover periods, N-of-1 trials are ideal for evaluating short-acting interventions in patients with somewhat stable chronic diseases, such as osteoarthritis. More complex than conventional therapeutic trials, N-of-1 trials require prior consideration of how to achieve blinding, appropriate placebo controls, quantitative primary outcomes, analysis methods, and ethical approval. Aggregation of N-of-1 trials allows estimation of the average treatment effect across the population with fewer participants than a conventional RCT. While systematic reviews and meta-analyses of case reports can be used to synthesize the observational N-of-1 data already in existence, N-of-1 trials offer an exciting way to prospectively generate strong evidence that will be useful for evidence-based decision-making.

Currently, research on computerized adaptive testing (CAT) focuses mainly on dichotomous items and cognitive traits (achievement, aptitude, etc.). However, polytomous IRT-based CAT is a promising research area for measuring psychological traits that has attracted much attention. The main purpose of this study is to test the practicality of the polytomous IRT-based CAT and its equivalence with the paper-pencil version. Data were collected from 1449 high school students (45% female) via the paper-pencil version. The data were used for IRT parameter estimates and CAT simulation studies. For the equivalence study, the research group consisted of 81 students (47% female) who participated in both the paper-pencil and live CAT applications. The paper-pencil version of the vocational interest inventory consists of 17 factors and 164 items. When the EAP estimation method and setting SE < .50 as the termination criterion, better performance was obtained compared with other CAT designs. The Item selection did not help to reduce test duration or increase measurement accuracy. As a result, it was found that an area of interest can be assessed with four items. The results of the live CAT application showed that the estimates of CAT were strongly positively correlated with its paper-pencil version. In addition, the live CAT application increased applicability compared to the fixed-length test version by reducing test length by 50% and time by 77%. This study shows that the polytomous IRT-based CAT is applicable and efficient for measuring psychological traits.

DIFUSIÓN CULTURAL Y EXPLOTACIÓN COMERCIAL DE IMÁGENES DE OBRAS ARQUITECTÓNICAS Y PLÁSTICAS: LA EXCEPCIÓN «LIBERTAD DE PANORAMA» A EXAMEN
Authors: CABEDO SERNA LLANOS
Published: December 2022

La libertad de panorama es una excepción a los derechos de autor, regulada a nivel comunitario, que permite fotografiar, grabar en video y difundir por cualquier modo las imágenes de obras arquitectónicas y plásticas situadas permanentemente en lugares públicos con cualquier finalidad. Su trasposición en las legislaciones nacionales con diferencias significativas tiene una gran trascendencia tanto en la difusión de la cultura como en la explotación comercial de las imágenes. Tales diferencias se deben a la naturaleza facultativa de la excepción y a su formulación amplia. Conviene analizar estas dos cuestiones, contrastando la regulación comunitaria con las legislaciones nacionales, en particular la española, para concluir si es posible reducir las diferencias existentes para conseguir el mayor grado de armonización posible entre todas ellas.
EL CONTRATO DE SUMINISTRO ANTE LA INSOLVENCIA: REESTRUCTURACIÓN EMPRESARIAL Y CONCURSO DE ACREEDORES
Authors: González Navarro Blas Alberto
Published: December 2022

La relevancia del contrato de suministro en el campo concursal es evidente. Pocos casos tan frecuentes y determinantes como el suministro se dan en la práctica a la hora de valorar cuándo nos encontramos ante un contrato necesario para el mantenimiento de la actividad del deudor, o cuándo, por el contrario, se carece de este carácter. Las consecuencias previstas en el TRLC, siguiendo la estela de la antigua Ley de 2003, siguen siendo las mismas - las diferentes posibilidades y tipos de resolución contractual, o el mantenimiento forzoso de un contrato a pesar de su incumplimiento - pero es ineludible examinar las variaciones, algunas sensibles, introducidas en este terreno por la reforma operada por la Ley 16/2022, sobre todo en las negociaciones de un plan de reestructuración. Usando la figura del suministro, se estudian seguidamente las modificaciones efectuadas en la ley en plano contractual, para llegar de nuevo a la pregunta siempre subyacente en la relación del Derecho preconcursal y concursal con los contratos del deudor: los límites del interés del concurso y, ahora, del interés de la restructuración.
