Immunotherapy is a breakthrough approach for cancer treatment and prevention. By exploiting the fact that cancer cells have overexpression of tumor antigens responsible for its growth and progression, which can be identified and removed by boosting the immune system. In silico techniques have provided efficient ways for developing preventive measures to ward off cancer. Herein, we have designed a potent cytotoxic T-lymphocyte epitope to elicit a desirable immune response against carcinogenic melanoma-associated antigen-A11. Potent epitope was predicted using reliable algorithms and characterized by advanced computational avenue CABS molecular dynamics simulation, for full flexible binding with HLA-A*0201 and androgen receptor to large-scale rearrangements of the complex system. Results showed the potent immunogenic construct (KIIDLVHLL), from top epitopes using five algorithms. Molecular docking analyses showed the strong binding of epitope with HLA-A*0201 and androgen receptor with docking score of −780.6 and −641.06 kcal/mol, respectively. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis revealed strong binding of lead epitope with androgen receptor by involvement of 127 elements through atomic-model study. Full flexibility study showed stable binding of epitope with an average root mean square deviation (RMSD) 2.21 Å and maximum RMSD value of 6.48 Å in optimal cluster density area. The epitope also showed remarkable results with radius of gyration 23.0777 Å, world population coverage of 39.08% by immune epitope database, and transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) affinity IC50 value of 2039.65 nm. Moreover, in silico cloning approach confirmed the expression and translation capacity of the construct within a suitable expression vector. The present study paves way for a potential immunogenic construct for prevention of cancer.

Published: November 2020

Bladder cancer (BC) is the most common tumor of the urinary tract. Increasing evidence showed that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is a critical regulator in cancer development and progression. However, the functions of lncRNAs in the development of BC remain mostly undefined. In the present study, based on RNA sequence profiles from The Cancer Genome Atlas database, we identified 723 lncRNAs, 157 miRNAs, and 1816 mRNAs aberrantly expressed in BC tissues. A competing endogenous RNA network, including 49 lncRNAs, 17 miRNAs, and 36 mRNAs, was then established. The functional enrichment analyses showed that the mRNAs in the ceRNA network mainly participated in ‘regulation of transcription’ and ‘pathways in cancer’. Moreover, the Cox regression analyses demonstrated that three lncRNAs (AC112721.1, TMPRSS11GP, and ADAMTS9-AS1) could serve as independent risk factors. We established a risk prediction model with these lncRNAs. Kaplan–Meier curve analysis showed that high-risk patients’ prognosis was lower than that of low-risk patients (P=0.001). The present study provides novel insights into the lncRNA-mediated ceRNA network and the potential of lncRNAs to be candidate prognostic biomarkers in BC, which could help better understand the pathological changes and pathogenesis of BC and be useful for clinical studies in the future.

Authors: Mandal S. , Singh B.K. , Thakur K.
Published: November 2020

Single modality brain–computer interface (BCI) systems often mislabel the electroencephalography (EEG) signs as a command, even though the participant is not executing some task. In this Letter, the classification of different working memory load levels is presented using a hybrid BCI system. N‐back cognitive tasks such as 0‐back, 2‐back, and 3‐back are used to create working memory load on participants while recording EEG and functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals simultaneously. A combination of statistically significant features obtained from EEG and fNIRS corresponding to frontal region channels are used to classify different N‐back commands. Kernel‐based support vector machine (SVM) classifiers are employed with and without cross‐validation schemes. Classification accuracy of 100% is achieved for binary classification of 0‐back against 2‐back and 0‐back against 3‐back using linear SVM, quadratic SVM, and cubic SVM under holdout data division protocol.

Context. Aims. We systematically search for magnetic flux rope structures in the solar wind to within the closest distance to the Sun of ~0.13 AU, using data from the third and fourth orbits of the Parker Solar Probe.

Methods. We extended our previous magnetic helicity-based technique of identifying magnetic flux rope structures. The method was improved upon to incorporate the azimuthal flow, which becomes larger as the spacecraft approaches the Sun.

Results. A total of 21 and 34 magnetic flux ropes are identified during the third (21-day period) and fourth (17-day period) orbits of the Parker Solar Probe, respectively. We provide a statistical analysis of the identified structures, including their relation to the streamer belt and heliospheric current sheet crossing.
Every Drop of Water Footprint Counts For Humanity
Authors: Kian Heng Liew , Yuqiang Liew
Published: November 2020

Since 2002, Water Footprint concept was developed by Hoekstra as an indicator of water use behind all the goods and services consumed by one individual or the individuals of a country, more new concepts and definition evolved to ‘The water footprint is a measure of humanity’s appropriation of fresh water in volumes of water consumed and/or polluted’. Water Footprint answers how earth’s limited freshwater resources are being consumed or wasted through pollution or by misuse, abuse and disuse. At the highest level of United Nations, there are Sustainable Development Goals 2030 to achieve development programmes such as ‘Leaving No One Behind’. From nations to corporations, reduce Water Footprint contributes to sustainability and in shrinking the Carbon Footprint to conserve energy with less wastages, less wastefulness at all levels. Less Water Footprint, Less Carbon Footprint and Less Global Warming. Every individual as a stakeholder can realise and practise stringently the concept of Every Drop Counts. Developed countries like Singapore consumed more water and yet with widespread education, study found that ‘Saving water less of a concern for younger residents’. The author and co-author provide mentorship/internship to Universities and Polytechnic to learn ‘Every drop Counts’ from concept of Water Footprint. The mentees/interns were driven on learning by listening and undertaking hands-on-real-life measuring individual Water Footprint at their 3-month internship venue called The Living Lab. They collected and used every drop of water drips from the taps in the Living Lab to imbue the true meaning of Every Drop Counts for life-long. Every individual, home, corporation as well as every country when practises water-saving for proper use contribute to humanity. The youngsters and the educated must listen, learn, contribute and secure mother earth’s environment.

Published: November 2020

Natural resources play as vital inputs for economic activities, mainly in developing countries. However, massive use of natural resources puts more pressure on the environment and as the result, the quality of environment is deteriorating. The body of economic literature have shown that income is associated with harm to the natural environment. The relationship between income and degradation of the environment is known as the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Previous studies of EKC hypothesis in Indonesia are still limited and the results are inconclusive due to different results. Therefore, the aim of this study is to present a new insight of the existence of EKC in Indonesia using different method. Most of previous studies of EKC in Indonesia employ Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method, while this study uses data panel regression method from 33 provinces in Indonesia during 2012 to 2018. The result confirms the existence of EKC hypothesis in Indonesia. This study also estimates the turning point, a level of income that starts give positive impact on the environment. This result gives new insight to the existing literature. The policy implication for policymakers are straightforward, i.e. improve wealth of the society through higher income for the protection of the environment.

Published: November 2020

The aim of the paper is to analyse peculiarities of building an environmental tax systems, examining the level of their convergent (divergent) relationships. Main contribution of the paper lies in testing of the hypothesis of existing convergence processes in architecture of environmental tax systems of European countries (as the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic) on the basis of panel data analysis for the set of European countries using the regression model in Stata 12/SE and MS Excel. Testing the hypothesis about the existence of convergence in construction of environmental tax system of the above mentioned European countries was realized on the base of analysis of coefficients of panel data regression analysis (both fixed effects and random effects models) – for beta convergence and variation coefficient – for sigma convergence. Such parameters as environmental tax revenue (for air pollution) to general tax revenues ratio, %; environmental tax revenue (for water pollution) to general tax revenues ratio, %; environmental tax revenue (for waste management) to general tax revenues ratio, % were chosen as measures of environmental tax system characteristics. Empirical research results confirmed hypothesis of the presence of β-convergence and σ-convergence in the context environmental tax systems of chosen countries.

Published: November 2020

Analysis of groundwater availability for irrigation purposes pertains to not only quantity but also quality. The characteristics of groundwater quality essentially define crop productivity and determine whether or not crops can grow. This research was designed to identify the suitability of karst groundwater for irrigation temporally (in one year), with an example of Gremeng Resurgence in Gunungsewu Karst Region, Indonesia. It drew on data on electrical conductivity and several major ions, such as potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium, by analyzing % sodium content (Na%), Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), and groundwater suitability for irrigation using the Wilcox and USSL diagrams. These analyses revealed that the water quality observed varied by seasons owing to the effects of dilution by rain and water-rock interaction in the karst region. However, this temporal variation was not substantial so that the classes of groundwater suitability only ranged between good and excellent, and the salinity hazard levels differentiated into low until medium.

Authors: Ilhami Firiyal Imtinan Siti , Purwanto P. , Yulianto Bambang
Published: November 2020

Currently, waste generation in Indonesia is increasing; the amount of waste generated in a year is around 67.8 million tons. Increasing the amount of waste generation can cause other problems, namely water from the decay of waste called leachate. Leachate can contaminate surface water, groundwater, or soil if it is streamed directly into the environment without treatment. Between physical and chemical, biological methods, and leachate transfer, the most effective treatment is the biological method. The purpose of this article is to understand the biological method for leachate treatment in landfills. It can be concluded that each method has different treatment results because it depends on the leachate characteristics and the treatment method. These biological methods used to treat leachate, even with various leachate characteristics, also can be combined to produce effluent from leachate treatment below the established standards.

Published: November 2020

The high use of plastic products is currently causing uncontrolled accumulation of plastic waste so that an effort is needed to minimize the negative impacts caused to the environment. One of the appropriate efforts in processing plastic waste is recycling to produce a variety of useful products. Each stage of the process in managing plastic waste recycling starts from collecting raw materials to producing a new product for consumers requiring energy that can be calculated and analyzed for their impact on the environment using the LCA method. From this study can be concluded that the plastic recycling industry as one of the efforts in reducing the generation of plastic waste to the environment consists of 3 (three) main stages, namely the stages of enumeration, the distribution of raw materials and the stages of production of plastic pellets. The environmental burden analyzed includes the production process of recycling plastic waste to produce an output in the form of 1 ton of plastic where the total GHG emissions generated are 2.36E + 03 kg CO2 eq, with details of the potential contribution to global warming of 1.30E + 02 kg CO2 eq at the stage enumeration, 3.52E + 01 kg CO2 eq at the distribution stage and 2.15E + 00 kg CO2 eq at the plastic pellets production stage. The efficiency of plastic seed products in this study showed a good result, where the NEV and NER values of the recycled plastic pellets products were 39664.1 MJ and 2.11 MJ.

Published: November 2020

Furniture industry is the industry that processes raw or semifinished material from wood, rattan, or other natural material, into products with higher value added and benefit. Because of a rise in consumer demand each year, the furniture industries should have much attention. High consumer demand may cause production process-related problems that damage the environment. Such environmental damage may be caused by waste, raw materials, or production process. High consumer demand in furniture industry brings negative impacts not only to the environment but also to the society. Social impact assessment is needed to evaluate how a product or a process influences workers, consumers, citizen, and value chain. This study uses life cycle assessment method with the help of SimaPro software to determine the environmental impact, and social-life cycle assessment to determine the social impact. The largest contributor to environmental impact is the use of acrylic varnish. Substitution acrylic varnish with woodstain-water based aims to lead to a circular economy by reducing adverse impacts on the environment. The replacement of acrylic varnish with woodstain water based reduces the environmental impact score by 24.8%. Social impacts score on the workers and local community stakeholder are categorized as poor.

Early Childhood Character Education in Japan
Authors: Mulyadi Budi
Published: November 2020

Character education has a very important role in shaping the superior character of Japanese society. Compared to Indonesia, Japan has long designed and implemented character education for all levels of education. Since 1970 Japan has begun to develop a character-based curriculum that has begun to be applied at the kindergarten and elementary school level. Japan recognizes the importance of character education starting at the age of children because educating characters in children will be easier to do than educating teenage or adult characters. Implementation of character education in early childhood in Japan prioritizes character education that can bring out superior characters such as courage, independence, discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and socializing. To bring out these characters, the application of early childhood character education in Japan places great importance on moral and personality education. Through moral education and personality, the characters are brave, independent, disciplined, responsible, cooperating, and socializing. Moral and personality education is not taught through special subjects but is applied in everyday life. And this is characteristic of the application of early childhood character education in Japan

Authors: Abdullah Muhammad
Published: November 2020

By translating many books of fiqh and Sufism into Javanese, KH Sholeh Darat has actually left a trail of brilliant Islamic thought in Semarang. This can be traced through his works which are works of translation, one of which is the magnum opus is the Book of Syarh Al Hikam. Therefore, the teachings of Islam are easily understood and accepted by the Semarang Islamic community. This is as conveyed in the message of preaching at the house of the Regent of Demak who is the uncle of R.A. Kartini. KH Sholeh Darat translated the Koran into Javanese using Arabic Pegon. Therefore, the effort to translate various books into Javanese is none other than the process of Islamization in Semarang, which is a trail of Islamic teaching that is very accommodating to Javanese culture in the Semarang area. Therefore, this manuscript needs to be studied philologically and thematically, especially the values of the propaganda of KH Sholeh Darat which provide a wind of harmony in religion. Through intertextual studies this study intends to find the character relationship of Syarah Al Hikam KH Soleh Darat. Through the learning of the Al Hikam book, traces of Islamic thought and the method of da'wah that combines Islamic culture and Javanese culture, accommodating, moderate, between the Shari'a and the tarekat is the harmonization of Islam can be accepted in the multicultural society in Semarang and Java in the 19th century.

According to several studies, cooking oil waste can be processed into more valuable products through certain processes that require energy and material. Biodiesel is an example. Beside biodiesel, the production process also produces non-product output. Thus, efforts to utilize cooking oil waste into more valuable products also have a negative impact on the environment. This study aims to measure the environmental impact of biodiesel production from waste cooking oil and compare it if it is discharged to landfill without the recycling process. Measurement of environmental impacts is carried out using a Life Cycle Assessment. Measurement of the environmental impact of biodiesel processing from cooking oil waste is based on a process carried out at a research institute. The measurement results state that the disposal of cooking oil waste has an adverse effect on the ecotoxicity category. Whereas the processing of cooking oil waste into biodiesel has advantages in the categories of climate change, the formation of photochemical oxidants, fine dust, oil and gas depletion, and water pressure indicators. the level of eco efficiency from processing waste cooking oil to biodiesel produces a value close to one which means that the production process is affordable but not yet sustainable.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by Dengue virus. In 2016, the number of DHF patients in areas of Health services of Rowosari was 247 cases, IR 289.6/100.000 populations and the highest number of the patients was from Meteseh Village. The most usual mechanism happened in the vertical transmission, transovarial infection, from adult mosquito to the egg. The study was conducted to describe of entomological status of House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), Breteau Index (BI), House index (HI), Ovitrap Index (OI) of larvae as well as transovarial infection in Aedes sp. The research method was descriptive method by conducting test to the entomology status of DHF incidence. Based on the survey in Meteseh sub-village (XVI), a result found that average House Index 8.99%, Container Index 2.88%, Breteau Index 16.40%, HI 8,99 Ovitrap Index 35.46% with the egg density at 1.023 eggs. The identified mosquitoes were 30, and from the identification result of Aedes sp., two Aedes species were found, 28 Aedes aegypti,and only 2 Aedes albopictus. The transovarial infection in Aedes sp. using ELISA method was found 6 mosquito samples which were positive of dengue virus, with the detail in neighborhood 01 (1 sample), neighborhood 02 (2 samples), neighborhood 03 (3 samples). DHF in Meteseh Sub village in Semarang City was probably happened because correlated with transovarial infection.

In logistics and supply chain management, a problem of supplier selection is an optimization problem where the number of variables is growing exponentially which will produce a large-scale optimization problem. A right choice of the used method to solve is needed according to the performance of the method. This paper is considered to compare and analyse how the performance of some classic numerical optimization methods which are interior point, SQP, SQP-legacy and active-set to solve a large-scale optimization problem of a probabilistic supplier selection problem with inventory management. Word “probabilistic” in this case is referring to that the problem is involving some uncertain parameters approached by random variable (probabilistic parameter). We used the existing mathematical model of probabilistic supplier selection problem with inventory management provided in our previous works that only considering few numbers of decision variable then the occurred optimization problem is a small-scale problem that can be solved efficiently by analytical method or numerical method. Then, in this paper we resolved this model with huge number of decision variable indicated by the number of the supplier and time period that is large by using an existing numerical optimization method to analyse how the decision variable, is it reliable to be used or not. We generate some randomly data to simulate the problem and the results. From our computational experiment, the optimal decision variables obtained by the used methods are acceptable to be used as the decision that can be used to be applied by the decision maker. Based on the relative error given by these methods, the active set was given the best performance which means that active-set method is the best choice to solve.

Demak Regency is one of the regions in Central Java Province with a low incidence of Dengue Fever compared to other cities and districts. Even so, DHF control needs to be done to minimize the occurrence of dengue fever, because DHF is a fairly dangerous disease. One form of controlling the number of DHF events that is widely used is using forecasting models, one of them is using Fuzzy Time Series. The Multivariate Fuzzy Time Series (MFTS) model is a development of the Fuzzy Time Series model that can be used to forecast using time series data by using more than one variable for forecasting, compared to the Fuzzy Time Series method that usually using only one variable. Based on the research results obtained, the MFTS model has a fairly accurate MAPE value, wherein the best MAPE was at 3 years scenario with MAPE 10,728%.

The Coad barb,Capoeta coadiAlwan, Zareian and Esmaeili, 2016, is a newly described endemic fish in Beheshtabad River, Tigris basin of Iran and little is known about its life-history. Life history characteristics were examined in 426 specimens collected monthly from Beheshtabad River (central Iran) during May 2013 to May 2014. The sex ratio was 1M:0.7F. Based on scale and opercular readings, the maximum ages of the population were 8+years for females and 7+for males. The most frequent age groups were 3+and 4+in males and females, respectively. Size varied from 8.94 to 42.95 cm in fork length and weight between 10.3 and 1255.5 g. Length–weight relationship implied that the growth was negatively allometric for both sexes. The von Bertalanffy growth model was estimated as Lt =35.97[1‑e‑0.205(t+0.586)] and Lt = 49.31[1‑e‑0.162(t‑0.208)] for males and females, respectively. The growth performance index was estimated as 5.58 and 5.97 for males and females, respectively, indicating a faster growth rate for females.
Les forces dans l’image et les gestualités émotionnelles
Authors: Dondero Maria Giulia
Published: November 2020

Cet article aborde les relations entre le langage visuel et les émotions. Cette exploration se compose de deux volets : le premier est consacré aux forces textualisées dans l’image, le second aux gestualités émotionnelles, à savoir aux pratiques énonciatives du corps qui accompagnent l’interprétation et l’appréciation des images. La première partie discute la contribution de René Thom à la réflexion sur les émotions de la contemplation esthétique face au déploiement des forces dans les tableaux ; tandis que la deuxième partie met en contraste l’analyse manuelle et l’analyse computationnelle au regard des gestes de l’analyste et de l’observateur. L’analyse manuelle est illustrée à travers la pratique d’enseignement de Roland Barthes au Collège de France, l’analyse computationnelle est en revanche prise en examen à partir des expériences de Lev Manovich et des Cultural Analytics.
