Authors: Dewi Listiani Indri , Kardina Rizki Nurmalya
Published: April 2023

In obese patients, one way to prevent obesity with the right method is to modulate the intestinal microflora. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the differences in administration of milk kefir with additional sorghum flour on body weight, appetite, and abdominal fat in mice (Mus musculus) induced obesity.This type of research is a true experimental in vivo using a randomized controlled design pretest – posttest control group design. The experimental animals used were 34 healthy mice (Mus musculus). Data analysis with normal distribution was tested by One Way Anova, otherwise Kruskal Wallis was tested. Meanwhile, categorical data were tested Univariate. The results showed that in the third treatment (P3) mice experienced differences in the treatment given milk kefir with the addition of sorghum flour and high fat diet feed for 8 weeks or 56 days there was a difference in weight loss as measured by weight gain (p<0.05), then there wasn’t difference in appetite (p>0.05), while there was a difference in abdominal fat compared to the control group. So, for those who are obese, it’s expected that milk kefir products with sorghum can be used as a daily drink to help reduce body weight and abdominal fat.

Objective: The main aim of this research is to determine the optimum conditions required for the synthesis of metal-flavonoid complexes from leaves of Jatropha curcus.
Methods: Soxhlet extractor was used for the extraction. Phytochemical screening was carried out using the method described by Harborne. The phytochemical profile of the extract was determined using GC-MS. The flavonoid-metal complexes were synthesized using different transition metal salts and the methanolic plant leaves extract. The synthesis was carried out by varying the pH, metal ion and extract concentrations. The solubility of the flavonoid-metal complexes in different solvents was determined. The synthesized complexes were subjected to UV-visible and FTIR analysis.
Results: Methanol extract gave a yield of 4. 88%. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of Flavonoids, steroids and alkaloids. The GC-MS analysis showed the presence of 14 compounds. Maximum dry weights of complexes formed between 600-700 mg were obtained at a concentration of 1000 ppm crude extract and for the metal ion concentrations, the optimum concentration observed for Cd2+and Cu2+complexes was 120 ppm while that of Ni2+and Co2+complexes was 140 ppm. Most suitable pH for copper-flavonoid was 8, for cobalt-and cadmium-flavonoid complexes was 9 and pH of 10 for nickel-flavonoid complexes. The FTIR results showed the formation of the complex due to the shift observed in the band assigned to C=O The UV/visible spectrum showed absorbance in the wavelength range of 250-480 nm.
Conclusion: Flavonoid-metal complexes were synthesized and their optimum conditions determine.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui profil kelembaban tanah secara horizontal pada areal piringan tanaman kelapa sawit (0-200 cm dari pangkal batang). Lokasi penelitian di Pusat Penelitian Kelapa Sawit (PPKS) antara 21 Agustus - 18 September 2018. Pengamatan dilakukan menggunakan Soil Moisture Meter (SMM) MP 306 pada piringan pohon dengan jarak 50 cm, 100 cm, 150 cm, dan 200 cm dari pangkal batang dua tanaman kelapa sawit berumur 14 tahun. Data curah hujan dan unsur iklim lainnya diperoleh dari AWS Davis Vantage Pro-II Plus. Interval waktu pengukuran kelembaban tanah dan unsur iklim adalah 15 menit. Analisis deskriptif dilakukan untuk menganalisis pola keterkaitan antara kelembaban tanah dengan unsur iklim khususnya curah hujan. Selain itu, dilakukan analisis korelasi akumulasi curah hujan pada setiap kejadian hujan dengan fluktuasi kelembaban tanah untuk mengetahui zona piringan  pohonyang paling dipengaruhi curah hujan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan curah hujan berkorelasi positif terhadap peningkatan kelembaban tanah. Sementara itu, rerata kelembaban tanah pada radius 50 cm; 100 cm; 150 cm; dan 200 cm berturut-turut adalah 28,41%; 33,50%, 36,75% dan 38,26%. Zona piringan pohon dengan jarak 150 cm hingga 200 cm dari pangkal pohon sebaiknya lebih dipertimbangkan sebagai zona peletakan pupuk karena memiliki kelembaban tanah yang lebih tinggi. Selain itu, perlu dilakukan upaya untuk menjaga kelembaban tanah melalui pembuatan rorak dan guludan, aplikasi bahan organik, maupun manajemen vegetasi penutup tanah khususnya di gawangan mati dan area di antara baris tanaman.

Authors: Hasibuan Hasrul Abdi
Published: April 2023

Minyak goreng yang umumnya dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat Indonesia adalah minyak goreng sawit dalam bentuk curah dan branded. Minyak goreng curah biasanya dijual tanpa dikemas terlebih dahulu sementara minyak goreng branded dijual dengan kemasan. Minyak goreng curah dijual oleh pedagang-pedagang di pasar tradisional relatif kurang memenuhi standar kehigienisan dibandingkan minyak yang sudah dikemas. Oleh karena itu, Pemerintah membuat kebijakan minyak goreng wajib dikemas agar mutu dan keamanan serta kesehatan minyak goreng meningkat. Program tersebut memiliki kendala dikarenakan dibutuhkan investasi, ruang produksi dan penyimpanan serta biaya distribusi yang cukup besar. Namun demikian, program ini memberikan peluang tumbuhnya industri kecil menengah (IKM) dalam pengemasan minyak goreng yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat.

Cokelat cair merupakan produk makanan cokelat berbentuk cair yang dapat digunakan sebagai penambah citarasa dalam makanan seperti sebagai topping pada produk es krim. Berbeda dengan cokelat batang, cokelat cair dibuat dengan menggunakan lemak atau minyak yang berbentuk cair pada suhu ruangan dengan asam lemak tak jenuh tinggi, titik leleh dan kandungan lemak padat rendah. Namun, pada suhu rendah, lemak atau minyak berbentuk padat sehingga cokelat menempel di permukaan produk tertentu. Olein sawit merupakan fraksi minyak sawit yang berpotensi digunakan sebagai lemak dalam pembuatan cokelat cair karena berbentuk cairan pada suhu ruangan namun berbentuk padatan pada suhu < 10°C. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk membuat cokelat cair dengan dua jenis olein sawit yaitu olein normal dan olein super, masing-masing sebanyak 29,9, 32,4 dan 34,9% dari bahan adonan. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa olein normal dan olein super dapat digunakan sebagai lemak dalam pembuatan cokelat cair. Dari hasil uji organoleptik menunjukkan bahwa olein super sebanyak 34,9% dari bahan adonan paling disukai oleh panelis. Pada formula tersebut, cokelat cair memiliki ukuran partikel 0,02 mm, kadar air 0,22%, kadar lemak 37,98% dan titik leleh lemak 16,8°C.

Published: April 2023

Penyakit bercak daun telah bertransformasi menjadi ancaman serius untuk keberlangsungan pembibitan kelapa sawit. Dalam kurun dua tahun terakhir, infestasi penyakit bercak daun pada beberapa sentra pembibitan kelapa sawit di Sumatera dan Kalimantan telah menyebabkan kerusakan yang berat hingga menyebabkan kematian pada bibit yang dibudidayakan. Evaluasi penyakit pada sentra-sentra pembibitan dengan tingkat penyakit berat menunjukkan adanya kesamaan metode penyiraman yang menyediakan kondisi optimal bagi patogen untuk menginisiasi penyakit. Tindakan pengendalian yang masih mengandalkan penggunaan fungisida harus dilakukan secara bijak untuk mencegah terjadinya resistensi. Indikasi resistensi dapat dikaji dari penurunan efektivitas pengendalian fungisida yang sama dari waktu ke waktu. Rotasi dan pencampuran bahan aktif menjadi salah satu solusi untuk mematahkan serta mencegah terjadinya resistensi terhadap suatu bahan aktif fungisida. Namun, penggunaan fungisida hanya akan mampu menghentikan epidemi penyakit jika diiringi dengan pemahaman mengenai aspek-aspek yang memengaruhi perkembangan penyakit bercak daun di pembibitan kelapa sawit.

Authors: Digilina Olga B. , Teslenko Irina B. , Nalbandyan Astghik A.
Published: April 2023

The research explores the main problems associated with the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in human activities, as well as with the humanization of these technologies. In a broad sense, artificial intelligence is a set of algorithms and software systems that can solve some problems the way a person would do and differ in that they are amenable to learning. An analysis of the problems of introducing artificial intelligence technologies makes it possible to substantiate the main levers of state policy aimed at the development and integrated use of digital intelligent systems. The success of the introduction and dissemination of artificial intelligence technologies largely depends on the effectiveness of state regulation of this sphere, both at the state and supranational levels. The development of machine learning systems must necessarily include an ethical aspect and some restrictions, otherwise the rapid development of intelligent machines can lead to the collapse of human civilization. To avoid such a development of events, it is necessary to create a supranational system for regulating artificial intelligence. Thus, the object of study of this article is the use of artificial intelligence systems in various fields of human activity. The authors use content analysis, systemic, adaptive and synergistic methods. In addition, the authors apply modern statistics, empirical generalization and grouping.

It is possible to ensure the country’s food security only with the sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy, which, in turn, is impossible without a transition to an innovative way of agricultural development. Consistent implementation of import substitution practices, improving the quality and increasing the volume of products in the long term will allow the domestic agro-industrial complex to reach a new level of its development, it is also possible only with the widespread introduction of innovative technologies and tools, thereby ensuring a high level of competitiveness of domestic agricultural products. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the transformation of the agricultural sector of the Russian economy, which is taking place under the influence of increasing geopolitical risks, which should become a point of growth of the domestic agro-industrial complex, since, as practice shows, any economic crisis is replaced by economic growth subsequently. The aim of the study is to develop and test a methodology for determining the factors of sustainable development of the agricultural sector of the economy, based on the technology of data-mining and big-data analysis, and to conduct a subsequent assessment of trends in the identified factors.

Published: April 2023

Cases of underage marriage have continued to increase, supported by religious law, and accepted by Indonesian Muslims. To analyze this phenomenon, this study used a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and reviews of religious texts or references, this article explores the correlation between underage marriage and the naskh (abrogation) of the Qur'an and Hadiths. It shows that this exegetical approach has helped perpetuate the practice of underage marriage, as it not only promotes a partial and purely textual understanding of Islam's teachings regarding marriage but is also easily manipulated to promote certain views, as a form of religious manipulation of underage marriages. As a result, marriage is taught and understood from a purely doctrinal perspective, without considering the health and wellbeing of the married couple. Instead, this study recommends using an integrated approach that continuously strives to prevent underage marriage, one capable of obtaining a comprehensive understanding that recognizes the interests of all stakeholders including underage couples. Only then can a comprehensive understanding of religious teachings and experiences be obtained

This article aims to examine the application of ta’zīr punishment as a reinforcement of education in Islamic law. Humans are mulattoes or social beings who are related to one another, they cannot be separated from interactions with others. In order for this relationship to be in the corridor and frame of justice, Allah sent down rules in the form of orders and prohibitions. This study is a normative legal study using ushul fiqh theory and maslāhah theory. This study concludes that all commands and prohibitions contained in Islamic law are based on the Qur'an and the commands and prohibitions of the Prophet. which is formulated in fiqh, it will be seen that everything has a specific purpose, namely the benefit of mankind. If there is a violation of these rules, a penalty will be imposed, whether the punishment is in the form of ḥadd, qiṣaṣ or ta’zīr punishment. In addition to ḥadd, qiṣaṣ, kaffārah punishments, ta’zīr punishments are seen as punishments/sanctions that contain educational values because they aim to create a deterrent effect on the perpetrators and become a lesson for others not to commit similar violations. Therefore, this study argues that the imposition of punishment in Islamic law including ta’zīr contains beneficial values that educate humans and has a deterrent effect for perpetrators and for others.
The Reinforcement of the ‘Dowry for Groom’ Tradition in Customary Marriages of West Sumatra’s Pariaman Society

Published: April 2023

In contrast to the customary mahar or dowry system in typical Indonesian marriages, West Sumatra's Minangkabau people in Pariaman practice a unique ‘dowry for groom’ tradition, in which the bride pays a dowry to the bridegroom based on his social status. Payment is adjusted according to the social status of the man and is a must for the marriage to take place. This paper aims to examine the persistence and strengthening of the ‘dowry for groom’ tradition in the Pariaman Muslim community in West Sumatra by focusing on three main issues, namely the practice of ‘dowry for groom’ in the Pariaman community; factors that make the ‘dowry for groom’ tradition survive among Pariaman Muslims in the midst of the swift currents of modernization and globalization; and the mechanism of social reproduction of the 'dowry for men' tradition in the Pariaman community. The study is an empirical legal research using sociological theory as an analytical tool. Data is collected through interviews, observation and literature studies. The findings reveal that the reinforcement of the 'dowry for groom' tradition in Pariaman society is supported by several fundamental factors, including the widespread practice and support from the community, religious and traditional leaders, the local government, and the younger generation. The 'dowry for groom' tradition in Pariaman reflects the values of Muslim identity, such as adherence to religious teachings by finding husbands for daughters and maintaining a spirit of mutual aid, while also protecting the Minangkabau institution of ninik mamak (elders) and strengthening women's position as the true "monarchs" in Minangkabau society. Further research could explore more extensive meanings related to the 'dowry for groom' tradition

Authors: Usman M
Published: April 2023

This study focuses urgent issue directly related to whether the LGBT community is eligible as a mustahik right holder (zakat recipient) under Islamic law. This study is a normative legal study using the maṣlāḥah mursalaḥ approach. The data analyzed is literature from books of fiqh scholars, textbooks, scientific journals, and other sources. Result of this study shows that Islam can regulate the management of zakat assets through the socio-economic empowerment of the people, preventing wealth accumulation in one group and reducing poverty. Mustahik, previously limited to short-term goals and institutional charity, now appears to have long-term benefits, including reducing poverty and empowering the community's economy. Mustahik is also useful for marginalized people, people with disabilities, and people experiencing moral and social deprivation, including mental health. The fact that the spread of this group is not limited to social media, but has also spread to campuses, schools, and being part of modern lifestyle needs urgent responses from various stakeholders, particularly in distributing zakat for LGBT community in Indonesia. The LGBT group is a legal reality that arises due to psychological and medical factors and entities caused by deviant associations. This research contributes to the Indonesian government's strategic steps to address the LGBT through zakat empowerment. So that in this way the group slowly through rehabilitation using zakat they experience awareness about life behavior that is in accordance with Islamic law in a dignified way.

In the assessment of governments’ fiscal performance, exchange rates play some roles while capital movements could serve as determinant of fiscal discipline. This study examined the effects of exchange rate devaluation, and capital inflows, on budgetary spending, and the interactions among the variables using the Bayesian vector autoregression (BVAR) and sys-generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators with 1,184 panel observations. The study covers 37 emerging nations. The variables had a co-integrating connection, demonstrating a long-run link between the variables studied. Having executed the Gibbs sampling for simulation efficiently, our Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation converged appropriately. The sampling efficiency parameter is equal to 0.96257, close to 1. The Monte Carlo standard errors (MCSE) are extremely low at 0.000 with an implication of adequate precision in the BVAR model estimation. The results disclose that a 1 percent devaluation shock compressed fiscal spending by 0.56 percent and a shock to capital inflows stimulated 0.99% growth in fiscal spending. The 95 percent credible interval suggests a considerable size of effects on devaluation and capital flows. Accordingly, managing the exchange rate can be a valuable tool for managing capital shortage in Africa. Rather than increase government spending, governments should concentrate on revenue generation by utilizing an effective exchange rate policy to influence the national pattern of product diversification.
A case and review of Haemoglobin SE in the paediatric population.
Authors: Swift Annette , Barbaro Pasquale
Published: April 2023

HbSE is a rare hemoglobinopathy with conflicting reports in the
literature regarding potential complications. We report an 11-year old
girl with HbSE disease and resultant bone infarction most likely due to
vaso-occlusion. She had similar HbS and HbE levels as her sister, who
has had no complications to date. We performed a literature review and
identified a further 23 pediatric cases of Hemoglobin SE and although
the majority of patients remained asymptomatic, up to 50% of children
may suffer mostly vas-occlusive complications, some resulting in death.
Infection and hyposplenism were uncommon. Further reports and case
series of HbSE are needed to clarify the natural history of this rare
hemoglobinopathy.

Today, the most important treatment methods for cancer are chemotherapy,
surgical intervention, and radiotherapy. In recent years, many studies
on radioimmunotherapy have been carried out. New drugs and treatment
strategies are constantly being researched, and targeted cancer therapy
is the treatment with the highest efficacy and negligible side effects
compared to other methods. Breast cancer is the most common type of
cancer in women. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is
overexpressed in 20-30% of breast cancer cases. Trastuzumab is a
humanized monoclonal antibody of recombinant DNA origin targeting the
HER2 protein. In this study, the pharmaceutical part of a new
radiopharmaceutical to be used in breast cancer treatment was prepared.
For this purpose, molecular insertion studies were conducted to show the
binding sites between Trastuzumab and different chelating agents (DOTA,
DTPA, EDTA and MAG3) in silico. Then, these chelating agents were
complex, and characterization studies were carried out.

Published: April 2023

Purpose: Optimal adherence to antidiabetics among patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus has been associated with positive health
outcomes; however, studies to assess this adherence in Saudi Arabia are
scarce. We aimed to evaluate adherence to antidiabetics using a Saudi
population. Methods: This was a multicenter, retrospective
cohort study of patients (≥ 18 years old) with type 2 diabetes mellitus
who received ≥ 1 antidiabetic between 2015 and 2020. Adherence was
estimated using the continuous multiple-interval measure of medication
availability (CMA7). A CMA7 cutoff point of ≥ 80% was chosen to define
optimal adherence, and the odds of not achieving therapeutic annual
HbA1c levels (i.e. ≥ 7%) in the optimal vs. suboptimal adherence groups
was assessed using a logistic regression model adjusting for the
measured confounders. Results: A total of 36,789 patients were
included in the study. The most commonly prescribed regimens were
metformin single treatment (n=15,025 [41.6%]) and
gliclazide-metformin combination treatment (n=5,667 [15.7%]). The
median CMA7 was 70.4%, and only 13,552 (36.9%) patients were adherent
to their antidiabetics (CMA7 ≥ 80%). The odds of not achieving
therapeutic HbA1c levels one year after the index date were comparable
in the optimal vs. suboptimal adherence groups (odds ratio = 0.99, 95%
confidence interval 0.92 to 1.05). Conclusions: This study
showed that a large proportion of a Saudi population with type 2
diabetes mellitus were non-adherent to their antidiabetic treatments.
Future Saudi and regional studies are needed to assess the impact of
adherence on HbA1c levels and on cardiovascular outcomes.
A PLC communication characteristics-based fault location method in MV meshed distribution networks
Authors: Tan Mingang , Tang Yi , Zhang Chaohai , Chen Bin , Qian Junliang
Published: April 2023

A power line carrier (PLC) communication characteristics-based method is
proposed for single-phase-to-ground fault location in neutral isolated
medium voltage (MV) meshed distribution networks in this paper. The
carrier signals with a time-varying frequency and constant amplitude are
processed by a set of PLC transmitters and receivers, whose placement is
optimized by regarding the power network as an undirected graph. Two
signal encoding and decoding algorithms for the PLC terminals are
proposed to avoid using expensive timing systems between the terminals.
The fault location technique is implemented by comparing the cosine
similarity of amplitude attenuation (AA) and phase offset (PO) between
the fault and a library. The node corresponding to the maximum cosine
similarity of the characteristics between the present fault and the
library is selected as the location of the current fault. Only one set
of low-cost PLC communication terminals and the widely available power
lines are needed in the fault location system, making this approach
highly practical. Numerical simulations using MATLAB/Simulink have been
performed to verify the technique’s feasibility. The results show that
the method can accurately locate faults in neutral isolated MV meshed
distribution networks. Besides, the presented approach achieves high
accuracy in estimating transition resistance values.

detections, they are not only difficult to implement but also impossible
to monitor in real time. In this contribution, we propose a real-time
monitoring method for the burial depth of direction current submarine
cable based on the equivalent thermal circuit and optical fiber
monitoring temperature: establish an equivalent thermal circuit from the
built-in optical fiber to the outer sheath, use the optical fiber
monitoring temperature to calculate the outer sheath temperature, then
calculate the seabed soil thermal resistance from the core loss, the
outer sheath temperature and the seabed surface temperature, and then
calculate the burial depth of submarine cable according to the
relationship between the seabed soil thermal resistance and the burial
depth in IEC-60287 standard. We simulate the optical fiber monitoring
temperature by finite element analysis, and put forward correction
factors to determine the thermal resistance of the bedding layer and the
armour layer according to the simulation results. Our results show that
the maximum error of detection does not exceed 8cm when the depth of
burial lies in the range from 0.5m to 1.5m under any current load.
Superhighway channels of nickel ferrite doped Polyaniline nanocomposites for a high-performance stable symmetric pseudo-supercapacitor
Authors: Husain Samina , Singh Gyan , Kumar Yogesh
Published: April 2023

The electrochemical performance of Polyaniline (PANI) can be
significantly improved due to the incorporation of spinel-type
transition metal oxide, i.e., 1 wt. % of Nickel Ferrite (NiFe
O ) into the PANI matrix. In this
report, we have synthesised NiFe O
(NF), PANI1:1 ratio, PANI1:2 ratio, and PANI/NiFe O
nanocomposites, i.e., PANI1:1/NF1 and PANI1:2/NF2
nanocomposites by in-situ oxidative polymerization method. The
conducting network formed in the nanocomposite significantly increases
the multiple valence states of the metal for the electrolytic ions. The
PANI/NiFe O nanocomposite shows good
interaction and was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infra-red
Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman analysis. The SEM analysis reveals a
uniformly porous and agglomerated globular morphology of the
nanocomposite. Also, the PANI/NiFe O
composite (PANI1:1/NF1) exhibits enhanced supercapacitive properties due
to improve strong conducting path of PANI, which helps to provide the
delocalization of the electrons in the polymeric chain. The highest
specific capacitance ~ 758 Fg is
achieved for PANI 1:1/NF1 sample as compared to bare PANI1:1 (677 Fg
), PANI1:2 (500 Fg ), NF (253 Fg
) and other PANI1:2/NF2 (686 Fg
) samples at 10 mV/s scan rate in a two-electrode
system due to NF nanoparticles filling the vacant places in the
polymeric matrix. The energy density (54 Whkg ),
power density (1705 Wkg ) and good cycling stability
approx. 97 % after 10000 GCD cycles of the device is found for
PANI1:1/NF1. The EIS studies further confirm that the PANI 1:1/NF1
device has a lower charge transfer resistance (R )
~ 0.35 Ohm in comparison to other fabricated devices. It
seems that NiFe O acts as a
“superhighway” for charge transportation between PANI which is
beneficial for supercapacitors.
What physical mechanisms cause positive subtropical low cloud feedbacks in climate models?
Authors: Webb Mark J , Lock Adrian , Ogura Tomoo
Published: April 2023

We investigate positive subtropical low cloud feedback mechanisms in
climate models which have performed the CMIP6/CFMIP-3 AMIP and AMIP
uniform +4K experiments while saving CFMIP-3 process diagnostics on
model levels. Our analysis focuses on the trade cumulus/stratocumulus
transition region between California and Hawaii, where positive low
cloud feedbacks are present in the JJA season. We introduce a
methodology to} test various positive cloud feedback mechanisms
proposed in the literature as primary explanations for the low cloud
responses in the models. Causal hypotheses are tested by comparing their
predictions with the models’ responses of clouds, cloud controlling
factors, boundary layer depth and temperature/humidity tendencies to
climate warming. Changes in boundary layer depth, relative humidity in
the cloud layer and humidity advection at the top of the boundary layer
are shown to distinguish among the hypotheses considered. For the cases
examined, our approach rules out 4/5 of the mechanisms considered in
half of the models and 3/5 in the remainder. We argue that unambiguously
identifying the positive feedback mechanisms operating in models will in
some cases require intervention experiments designed to test specific
hypotheses.

During geomagnetically active times, Joule heating in the Lower
Thermosphere - Ionosphere is a significant energy source, greatly
affecting density, temperature, composition and circulation. At the same
time, Joule heating and the associated Pedersen conductivity are amongst
the least known parameters in the upper atmosphere in terms of their
quantification and spatial distribution, and their parameterization by
geomagnetic parameters shows large discrepancies between estimation
methodologies, primarily due to a lack of comprehensive measurements in
the region where they maximize. In this work we perform a long-term
statistical comparison of Joule heating as calculated by the NCAR
Thermosphere - Ionosphere - Electrodynamics General Circulation Model
(TIE-GCM) and as obtained through radar measurements by the European
Incoherent Scatter Scientific Association (EISCAT). Statistical
estimates of Joule heating and Pedersen conductivity are obtained from a
simulation run over the 11 year period spanning from 2009 until 2019 and
from radar measurements over the same period, during times of radar
measurements. The results are statistically compared in different
Magnetic Local Time sectors and Kp level ranges in terms of median
values and percentiles of altitude profiles. It is found that Joule
heating and Pedersen conductivity are higher on average in TIE-GCM than
in EISCAT for low Kp and are lower than EISCAT for high Kp. It is also
found that neutral winds cannot account for the discrepancies between
TIE-GCM and EISCAT. Comparisons point towards the need for a
Kp-dependent parameterization of Joule heating in TIE-GCM to account for
the contribution of small scale effects.
A Bayesian model for inferring total solar irradiance from proxies and direct observations: application to the ACRIM Gap
Authors: Amdur Ted , Huybers Peter
Published: April 2023

Differences among total solar irradiance (TSI) estimates are most
pronounced during the so-called “ACRIM Gap” of 1989–1991, when
available satellite observations disagree in trend and no observations
exist from satellites with on-board calibration. Different approaches to
bias-correcting noisy satellite observations lead to discrepancies of up
to 0.7 W/m in the change in TSI during the Gap. Using
a Bayesian hierarchical model for Total Solar Irradiance (BTSI), we
jointly infer TSI during the ACRIM Gap from satellite observations and
proxies of solar activity. In addition, BTSI yields estimates of noise
and drift in satellite observations and calibration for proxy records.
We find that TSI across the ACRIM Gap changes by only 0.01
W/m, with a 95% confidence interval of [-0.07,
0.09] W/m. Our results are consistent with the PMOD
CPMDF and Community Consensus TSI reconstructions and inconsistent with
the 0.7 W/m trend reported in the ACRIM composite
reconstruction. Constraints on the trend across the ACRIM Gap are
primarily obtained through constraints on the drift in the Nimbus-7
satellite that are afforded by overlapping satellite and proxy
observations.

Published: April 2023

Although the origin of disease and drug targets are primarily at intracellular space, such targeting is not achievable in currently available drugs. We and others recently show that molecular drugs can be transformed into nanodrug for better subcellular targeting with the enhanced therapeutic performance. This can be achieved via appropriate size and surface chemistry of colloidal nanodrug to control or bypass the endocytic uptake and intracellular trafficking processes. This approach can be adapted for enhanced drug performance with lower side effects.
A Validation Study on the Children's Playfulness Scale (CPS)
Authors:   The Korea Associantion For Early Childhood Education Administration, Oh Ah-Reum
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this study was to validate the Children's Playfulness Scale (CPS) produced by Barnett (1990 and 1991), which is used to find out playfulness for Korean children. To this end, each class teacher measured the playfulness of children with a Children's Playfulness Scale (CPS) for 214 Korean children. The collected data were statistically processed with the SPSS 25.0 program and the AMOS 26.0 program. As a result of the analysis, Barnett's (1990 and 1991) Children's Playfulness Scale (CPS), which was translated into Korean, can be used by teachers to see and measure playfulness as one factor rather than looking at playfulness for children by factor. In order to measure the playfulness characteristics of each factor, it is necessary to modify and supplement the contents of the questions through research on content validity, and then check the convergence and discriminant validity.

Authors: Zhang Wei , Li Rui
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the theoretical and numerical analysis of the stochastic
Volterra integral equations (SVIEs) driven by L?vy noise are considered. We
investigate the existence, uniqueness, boundedness and H?lder continuity of
the analytic solutions for SVIEs driven by L?vy noise. The Euler-Maruyama
method for SVIEs driven by L?vy noise is proposed. The boundedness of the
numerical solution is proved, and the strong convergence order is obtained.
Some numerical examples are given to support the theoretical results.
TARI OLANG-OLANG: KAJIAN ATAS PERILAKU SOSIAL BUDAYA DAN KEARIFAN LOKAL SAKAI

Published: April 2023

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keberadaan tari olang-olang sebagai perilaku sosial dan budaya serta kearifan lokal masyarakat suku Sakai. Kehidupan yang tergolong tradisional sangat banyak menghasilkan warisan budaya local terutama dalam pengobatan karena masyarakat Sakai yang hidupnya nomaden sangat bersahabat dengan alam, tanah dan udara. Dengan demikian mereka memiliki cara dalam menghadapi berbagai kesulitan kehidupan. Misalnya Bomoh merupakan pemimpin utama dalam mengobati penyakit. Jenis penelitian ini studi kepustakaan (library research) dengan pendekatan metode kualitatif yang mengarah kepada content analisis. Hasil kajian menemukan bahwa salah satu kearifan local masyarakat Sakai adalah tari olang-olang. Tari Olang-olang juga menjadi cirikhas perilaku sosial dan budaya masyarakat Sakai karena Tari Olang-olang digunakan untuk prosesi pengobatan disamping menggunakan dedaunan dalam pengobatan tradisionalnya. Kemudian masyarakat Sakai juga mengobati penyakit dengan cara gerakan yang dilakukan Bomoh ketika mengobat pasien. Gerakan Bomoh seperti sebuah tarian yang dikenal dengan nama Tari Olang-olang. Dalam prosesi pengobatan masyarakat Sakai, Bomoh berperan sebagai perantara dengan penguasa roh dengan menggunakan gerakan seperti burung elang yang terbang. Gerakan burung terbang diiringi sengan mantera-mantera dan itulah dinamakan tari olang-olang. Tari olang-olang tersebut digunakan Bomo untuk komunikasi dengan roh-roh agar manusia tidak diganggu oleh roh jahat. Artinya Tari Olang-Olang adalah sebuah tari asli suku Sakai yang dihelat pada ritual pengobatan karena masyarakat suku Sakai tidak mengenal pengobatan moderen seperti sekarang sehingga kreativitas yang bersifat tradisional tercipta yang berlandaskan kepada kepercayaan dan berfungsi sebagai upaya pengobatan masyarakat. Kata kunci: Tari Olang-Olang, Sosial Budaya, Kearifan Lokal, Sakai
