Ligand Field-Actuated Non-Innocence of Acetylacetonate
Authors: Vinum Morten Gotthold , Voigt Laura , Hansen Steen , Bell Colby , Clark Kensha Marie , Larsen René Wugt , Pedersen Kasper
Published: April 2020

The quest for simple ligands to participate in concerted base metal-ligand multiple-electron redox events is driven by perspectives of replacing noble metals in catalysis and for discovering novel chemical reactivity. Yet the vast majority of simple ligand systems displays electrochemical potentials impractical for catalytic cycles substantiating the importance of new strategies towards aligned metal–ligand orbital energy levels. We herein demonstrate the possibility to establish and tame the elusive non-innocence of the ubiquitous acetylacetonate (acac), that is the most commonly employed anionic, chelating ligand towards elements across the entire Periodic Table. By employing the ligand field in the high-spin Cr(II) as a thermodynamic switch, we were able to chemically tailor the occurrence of metal–ligand redox events. The very mechanism can be understood as a destabilization of the dz2 orbital relative to the pi* LUMO of acac, which proffers a generalizable strategy to synthetically engineer non-innocence with seemingly redox-inactive ligands.
An Asymmetric Mechanism in a Symmetric Molecular Machine
Authors: Blanc Florian , Cecchini Marco
Published: April 2020

The design of molecular architectures exhibiting functional motions is a promising area for disruptive technological development. Towards this goal, rotaxanes and catenanes, which undergo relative motions of their sub-units in response to external stimuli, are prime candidates. Here, we report on the computational analysis of the contraction/extension of a bistable [c2]-daisy chain rotaxane. Using free energy calculations and transition path optimizations, we explore the free energy landscape governing the functional motions of a prototypical molecular machine with atomic resolution.

The calculations reveal a sequential mechanism for contraction/extension in which the asynchronous gliding of each ring is preferred over the concerted movement suggested by chemical intuition. Analysis of the underlying free energy surface indicates that dissymmetric gliding is favored because it entails crossings of much smaller barriers.

Our findings illustrate an important design principle for molecular machines, namely that efficient exploitation of thermal fluctuations may be realized by breaking down the large-scale functional motions into smaller steps.

The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 or 2019-nCoV) as a global pandemic. However, the mechanisms behind the coronavirus infection are not yet fully understand, nor are there any targeted treatments or vaccines. In this study, we identified high-binding-affinity aptamers targeting SARS-CoV-2 RBD, using an ACE2 competition-based aptamer selection strategy and a machine learning screening algorithm. The Kd values of the optimized CoV2-RBD-1C and CoV2-RBD-4C aptamers against RBD were 5.8 nM and 19.9 nM, respectively. Simulated interaction modeling, along with competitive with experiments, suggests that two aptamers may have partially identical binding sites at ACE2 on SARS-CoV-2 RBD. These aptamers present an opportunity for generating new probes for recognition of SARS-CoV-2, and could provide assistance in the diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 while providing a new tool for in-depth study of the mechanisms behind the coronavirus infection.
REALITAS SOSIAL DALAM NOVEL PULANG KARYA LEILA S. CHUDORI: PERSPEKTIF REALISME SOSIALIS GEORG LUKACS
Authors: Arifin Moch. Zainul
Published: April 2020

Literary works as a reflection of society in their era. As a reflection of society, literary works raise the culture of society by the time or before the literary work was written. Leila S. Chudori's novel entitled Pulang can be said to be a historical work by bringing up major historical events namely the bloody tragedy of 30 September 1965, the French revolution in 1968 and also the events of 1998 in Indonesia. According to Lukacs, historical novels and social novels are the same because a social event in the past will be history for the present generation. Based on this, this study uses Georg Lukacs's theory of socialism realism. The theory states that the pure fact of nature arises when a real world phenomenon is placed (in the mind or in reality) into an environment where its laws can be monitored without the need for internal intervention. In doing so, we will be arrived at an understanding of the external forms of phenomena and think of them as forms, in which the deepest core can certainly emerge. With simple language the knowledge of the totality of facts from events must be understood the real existence and the deepest core of the facts. In Pulang's novel by Leila S. Chudori, there is a social reality that has never been learned at school. Facts such as the existence of political exiles that are adrift in Europe, torture and slaughter of victims of wrongful arrests, and so on. That explains how the history we learn today is only history made by irresponsible people. Therefore, the social reality in the novel Le Pulang S. Chudori's Pulang is a forgotten Indonesian community life.

Published: April 2020

The biological significance of deadenylation in global gene expression is not fully understood. Here, we show that the CCR4–NOT deadenylase complex maintains expression of mRNAs, such as those encoding transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, DNA damage response–related proteins, and metabolic enzymes, at appropriate levels in the liver. Liver-specific disruption ofCnot1, encoding a scaffold subunit of the CCR4–NOT complex, leads to increased levels of mRNAs for transcription factors, cell cycle regulators, and DNA damage response–related proteins because of reduced deadenylation and stabilization of these mRNAs. CNOT1 suppression also results in an increase of immature, unspliced mRNAs (pre-mRNAs) for apoptosis-related and inflammation-related genes and promotes RNA polymerase II loading on their promoter regions. In contrast, mRNAs encoding metabolic enzymes become less abundant, concomitant with decreased levels of these pre-mRNAs. Lethal hepatitis develops concomitantly with abnormal mRNA expression. Mechanistically, the CCR4–NOT complex targets and destabilizes mRNAs mainly through its association with Argonaute 2 (AGO2) and butyrate response factor 1 (BRF1) in the liver. Therefore, the CCR4–NOT complex contributes to liver homeostasis by modulating the liver transcriptome through mRNA deadenylation.

Published: April 2020

Although maximal incremental exercise tests (GXT) are the gold standard for outcome assessment and exercise prescription, they are not widely available in either fitness or clinical exercise programs. This study compared the prediction of VO2max in healthy, sedentary volunteers using a non-exercise prediction (Matthews et al., 1999), RPE extrapolation to 19 and 20 and the Rockport Walking Test (RWT), and of ventilatory threshold (VT) using the Talk Test and RPE @ 13,14,15. Subjects performed a treadmill GXT with gas exchange, a submaximal treadmill with RPE and Talk Test, the RWT and Matthews. All methods provided reasonable estimates of both VO2max and VT, with correlations of >0.80 and SEE~1.3 METs. VO2max was best estimated with the extrapolation to RPE=19. VT was intermediate between the TT Last Positive and Equivocal stages and between RPE 13 and 14. Non-maximal evaluation can be used in place of maximal GXT with gas exchange to make reasonable estimates of both VO2max and VT.

Published: April 2020

The processing of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam) yields a considerable amount
of bio-waste. Accumulation of this waste is considered a health risk because it is a
potential source of air and water pollution. Recycling of the unutilized fruit parts,
therefore, reduces the quantity and the impact of the bio-waste released to the
environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the phytochemical profile,
antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of extracts from three fruit parts (peel, fiber and
the core) of jackfruit sampled from the coastal region of Kenya. Different extraction
techniques and solvents were tested. The highest phenolic and flavonoid content of the
peels, fiber and the core were obtained from methanol extracts following a 48-hour
incubation. The values were recorded at 17.07±5.16 mg/g, 23.28±4.73 mg/g, and
15.68±3.74 mg/g for the phenolics and 28.55±12.42 mg/g, 35.4±9.53 mg/g and
36.23±2.54 mg/g for the flavonoids, respectively. The highest tannin content was obtained
from distilled water extracts following homogenization recorded at 10.82±2.63 mg/g,
10.39±4.10 mg/g and 10.52±1.05 mg/g for peels, fiber and core, respectively. The fiber
extracts gave the highest 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity
followed by the core at 61.51±29.90% and 51.06±33.39%, respectively. The antioxidant
activity was highest for methanol fiber extracts at 61.51±29.90% for DPPH radical
scavenging activity and 7.94±4.56 mg/mL for reducing power assay. The best
antibacterial activity against Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam) was obtained
from Ethyl acetate extracts showed. The unutilized jackfruit parts, therefore, are a
potential source of natural antioxidants as well as antibacterial, for agriculture and food
industry
Binary Logistic Regression Analysis of Variables That Influence Poverty in Central Java
Authors: Nurdiansah Sendi Nugraha , Khikmah Laelatul
Published: April 2020

The phenomenon of poverty is a serious problem faced by almost every country in the world. This is because poverty can affect various aspects of people's lives. One of the causes of poverty is due to lack of income and assets to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, health level and acceptable education. In addition, poverty occurs because of the powerlessness of society to get out of the problems it faces. The Central Java regional government incorporated poverty issues into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) because Central Java has a high number of poor people. This was done as an effort by the Central Java government to reduce poverty. Therefore, research is needed to find out the variables that most influence poverty in order to assist the government in developing the RPJMD. To find out what factors influence poverty in Central Java with the dichotomous categorical response variable, binary logistic regression analysis was used. The results showed that based on the analysis conducted did not obtain a logistic regression equation model because there were no significant parameters because there were no variables that had a sig value <0.05. Existing variables are Number of Population, Female Head of Household, Number of Children not in School, Number of Disabled Individuals, Number of Chronic Disease Individuals, Unemployment, Non-Electricity Lighting Sources, Unprotected Drinking Water Sources, Kerosene and Wood Cooking Fuels, Location Facilities Defecation (BAB) Not Available, so there are no variables that affect the level of poverty in Central Java Province.

Watershed Modelling of the Mindanao River Basin in the Philippines Using the SWAT for Water Resource Management
Authors: Guiamel Ismail Adal , Lee Han Soo
Published: April 2020

This study aims to simulate the watershed of the Mindanao River Basin (MRB) to enhance water resource management for potential hydropower applications to meet the power demand in Mindanao with an average growth of 3.8% annually. The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) model was used with inputs for geospatial datasets and weather records at four meteorological stations from DOST-PAGASA. To overcome the lack of precipitation data in the MRB, the precipitation records were investigated by comparing the records with the global gridded precipitation datasets from the NCDC-CPC and the GPCC. Then, the SWAT simulated discharges with the three precipitation data were calibrated with river discharge records at three stations in the Nituan, Libungan and Pulangi rivers. Due to limited records for the river discharges, the model results were, then, validated using the proxy basin principle along the same rivers in the Nituan, Libungan, and Pulangi areas. The R2 values from the validation are 0.61, 0.50 and 0.33, respectively, with the DOST-PAGASA precipitation; 0.64, 0.46 and 0.40, respectively, with the NCDC-CPC precipitation; and 0.57, 0.48 and 0.21, respectively, with the GPCC precipitation. The relatively low model performances in Libungan and Pulangi rivers are mainly due to the lack of datasets on the dam and water withdrawal in the MRB. Therefore, this study also addresses the issue of data quality for precipitation and data scarcity for river discharge, dam, and water withdrawal for water resource management in the MRB and show how to overcome the data quality and scarcity.

Authors: Bağbancı Bilal Muhammed
Published: April 2020

Historical structures are important in terms of both original construction techniques and cultural heritage. Therefore, material properties, construction techniques and dynamic behaviors of these structures must be identified in order to preserve them in the future by restoration studies.  This study is aimed to serve as an example for similar buildings in the region whose walls were constructed using filled brick with lime mortar and constructed using both timber and reinforced concrete slabs. In this study, the plan layout, construction techniques and the material usage of the building were investigated in detail. The mechanical and dynamic properties such as compressive stress, elastic moduli, shear stress, natural frequencies and mode shapes of the building were determined in-situ by flat-jack, shear and vibration tests. The finite element model of the structure was prepared, and the modal analysis of the structure was performed. The calibration of the model was ensured according to the vibration test results. The results obtained from this study show us that in-situ tests are extremely important for the accuracy of finite element models. It has been determined that the mechanical test data can be used with over 80% success in finite element models.

Published: April 2020

This research paper discusses the change in the workability and strength characteristics of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) due to addition of fly-ash and use of un-crushed Coarse Aggregate (CA). Laboratory based experimental work was carried out by preparing 12 SCC mixtures among which six mixtures contained crushed aggregate and other six mixtures contained un-crushed coarse aggregate. A total of 550 kg/m3 binder content and fixed Water-Binder (W/B) ratio as 0.35 were used. Two mixtures were controlled by using Portland Cement (PC) and other ten mixtures contained PC and Fly Ash (FA). Slump flow time, slump flow diameter and J-ring height tests were conducted to study the fresh properties of SCC. Furthermore, compressive strength was calculated at 7, 14 and 28 days of curing. The outcomes indicated that the slump flow time, slump flow diameter and J-Ring height for all the mixes are within the limits specified by EFNARC guidelines. The compressive strength of SCCs depends upon dosage of fly ash. Compressive strength for SCCs with crushed CA was better than obtained in case of un-crushed CA. The maximum compressive-strengths were observed as 64.58 MPa and 58.05 MPa for SCC with crushed and un-crushed CA respectively.
A Macro-element for Modeling the Non-linear Interaction of Soil-shallow Foundation under Seismic Loading
Authors: Huynh Van Quan , Nguyen Xuan Huy , Nguyen Trung Kien
Published: April 2020

This paper presents a macro-element for simulating the seismic behavior of the soil- shallow foundation interaction. The overall behavior in the soil and at the interface is replaced by a macro-element located at the base of the superstructure. The element reproduces the irreversible elastoplastic soil behavior (material non-linearity) and the foundation uplift (geometric non-linearity) at the soil- foundation interface. This new macro-element model with three degrees-of-freedom describes the force-displacement behavior of the footing center. The single element is restrained by the system of equivalent springs and dashpots. The footing is considered as a rigid body. It is solved by a suitable Newmark time integration scheme and implemented in Matlab to simulate the nonlinear behavior of soil-shallow foundation interaction under seismic loading. A reduce scaled soil-foundation system has been tested on a shaking table at the University of Transport and Communications, Hanoi, Vietnam. Five series of earthquake motions were used with maximum acceleration increased from 0.5  to 2.5 . The comparison of numerical results obtained from the simulation and experimentations shows the satisfactory agreement of the model. The proposed macro-element can be used to predict the seismic behavior of a wider variety of configurations.

Authors: Boumaraf Hemza , İnceoğlu Mehmet
Published: April 2020

3D printing technology offers the chance to produce very small-scale, complex forms that could help to improve educational materials for architectural design. In this age of technological advances, architectural education needs to integrate modern teaching methods that could enhance students’ visual perception. This research thus examined the impact of computational design modeling and 3D printing technology on the spatial cognition of architecture students. It starts with the premise that the use of the 3D printed models will support design logic and improve the deep understanding of spatial perception among students. Thirty architecture students were asked about a designed project realized for the purpose of this study. They were presented both a project designed via computer modeling software and a printed model of the same project. The outcomes indicate that the use of 3D printing gave better results in the development of students’ spatial abilities. The findings also confirm that adopting this technology in the development of teaching tools will enhance students’ spatial perception and extend beyond the seamless materialization of the digital model which can continuously inform design ideation through emerging perception qualities.
Residential Mortgage Loans Delinquencies Analysis and Risk Drivers Assessment
Authors: Spilbergs Aivars
Published: April 2020

Residential mortgage loans play an important role in improving living conditions in developed countries. In Latvia, however, residential mortgage volumes have declined throughout the post-crisis year’s and were at the end of 2018 12% below the end 2008 level, while the house price index ca. 25% below pre-crisis level. The main reasons for this are banks credit losses, which resulted in a revision of credit granting standards and a deteriorating in their availability. On the other hand, households have experienced increased uncertainty, both as a result of financial difficulties, experienced during the crisis years and political instability in the post-crisis years. It is therefore essential to identify the true risk drivers and to analyse them. Based on existing researches in other countries, the author has identified several dozen macro-economic indicators, such as the unemployment rate, wage growth, housing price index, etc. and micro factors such as the age of the borrower, total debt to income, loan-to-value, etc., have developed univariate and multivariate econometric models and have examined their statistical stability. Consequently, through a consistent application, it is possible to take sound credit decisions, both in banks and by households, and to contribute to the sustainable development of the housing market.
The Quality of Urban Air in Barcelona: A New Approach Applying Compositional Data Analysis Methods
Authors: Gibergans-Baguena Jose , Hervada-Sala Carme , Jarauta-Bragulat Eusebi
Published: April 2020

The main goal of this paper is to go some steps further to improve the understanding and manageability of air quality. Quality of atmospheric air in large cities is a matter of great importance because of its impact on the environment and on the health of the population. Recently, measures restricting access of private vehicles to the centre of large cities and other measures to prevent atmospheric air pollution are currently topical. The knowledge of air quality acquires special relevance to be able to evaluate the impact of those great social and economic measures. There are many indices to express air quality. In fact, quite every country has its own, depending on the main pollutants. In general, all indices ignore the compositional nature of the concentrations of air pollutants and do not apply methods of Compositional Data Analysis and have some other weak points such as leak of standardized scale. Therefore, the methodology used is founded on Compositional Data Analysis. The air quality index has an adequate correlation between input (concentrations) and output (air quality index), it distinguishes between air pollution and air quality and it has a 0-100 reference scale which makes easier interpretation and management of air quality expression. To illustrate the proposed method, an application is made to a series of air pollution data (Barcelona, 2001-2015). The results show the effectiveness of the 2008 European directive on ambient air quality.

Conjugal Love from a Sociological Perspective: Theorizing from Observed Practices.
Authors: Belleau Helene , Piazzesi Chiara , Seery Annabelle
Published: April 2020

This paper presents a sociological reflection on contemporary conjugal love, both from an empirical and a theoretical point of view. Drawing on analyses of data regarding financial arrangements between partners forming a couple, as well as on the sociological literature concerning love relationships, we present a theorization of contemporary conjugal semantics. We define these semantics as consisting of eight “meaning rules” through which social actors respond to the challenges of intimate relationships. Our analysis shows us the gaps and the tensions between different logics of love, on the one hand, and logics of love and social realities, on the other. However, partners’ utterances feature an integration of elements stemming from opposed semantic frameworks; meaning rules fostering mythical idealisation are combined with rules regarding relationship work, therapeutic communication, and the entrepreneurial management of the relationship. This empirical analysis also allows us to tackle a double confusion in the contemporary sociological literature on love and couples.

Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Anak Korban Penyalahguna Narkotika
Authors: Dharmaningtyas Luh Putu Gita
Published: April 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis terkait dengan Diversi Dan Rehablitasi Sebagai Upaya Perlindungan Hukum terhadap anak korban penyalahgunaan narkotika. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian normatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa narkotika pada dasarnya dapat dikualifikasikan sebagai crime without victim. Batasan antara pelaku dan korban penyalahguna narkotika tidak terlihat jelas, dengan adanya ketentuan tentang penyalahguna narkotika yang dikategorikan sebagai pelaku dan ancaman pidana yang diberikan pada penyalahguna narkotika sebagai korban dapat dilihat dari kewajiban menjalankan rehabilitasi dalam UU Nomor 35 Tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika. Namun pengenaan rehabilitasi tidak terlepas dari kualifikasi yang diatur dalam Sema Nomor 4 Tahun 2010 tentang Penempatan Penyalahgunaan, Korban Penyalahgunaan dan Pecandu Narkotika ke dalam Lembaga Rehabilitasi Medis dan Rehabilitasi Sosial. UU Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak menghadirkan konsep diversi dan keadilan restoratif, ketentuan ini dirasa belum cukup memberikan perlindungan hukum berupa diversi khususnya terhadap anak sebagai penyalahguna narkotika karena menyebabkan anak melalui sistem peradilan pidana biasa. Melalui Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 4 Tahun 2014 tentang Pedoman Pelaksanaan Diversi dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak, upaya diversi dapat dilakukan oleh Hakim. Anak penyalahguna narkotika yang diancam dengan pidana penjara diatas 7 tahun penjara mendapatkan perlindungan hukum berupa diversi pada tingkat pemeriksaan anak di pengadilan. Terkait perlindungan hukum berupa rehabilitasi medis dan rehabilitasi sosial tidak dapat berlaku secara mutlak dikarenakan harus melalui kualifikasi dalam Sema Nomor 4 Tahun 2010.

Desa Senteluk merupakan salah satu desa yang mepunyai wilayah pantai di  Kecamatan Batulayar. Oleh karena memiliki pantai, Pemerintah Desa Senteluk mengembangkan  wilayah tersebut sebagai obyek wisata dengan mengembangkan usaha kuliner sebagai daya tariknya. Usaha-usaha kuliner tersebut didirikan di sepanjang sempadan pantai yang ada di Desa Senteluk dengan cara pemeberian sewa lahan dan tempat ke masyarakat. Karena usaha kuliner tersebut menggunakan sempadan pantai maka peneliti tertarik untuk mengupas lebih jauh mengenai pengaturan pemanfaatan lahan sempadan pantai tersebut dan akibat hukumnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum empiris. Berdasarkan penelitian ini diketahui bahwa  pada dasarnya tidak terdapat larangan terkait terhadap pemanfaatan sempadan pantai, asalkan pemanfaatannya tidak merusak kondisi lingkungan di sekitar sempadan pantai.  Selain itu, terkait dengan perjanjian sewanya karena dibuat dengan cara tidak tertulis, dalam arti para pihak tidak menentukan hak dan kewajiban mereka secara terperinci, maka hak dan kewajiban para pihak dalam perjanjian sewa ini secara hukum ditentukan berdasarkan unsur naturalia.

Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. The Global Burden Disease (GBD) report published in 2018 estimated there were 6.1 million individuals suffering from PD globally and causing 3.2 million Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY) and 211,296 deaths in 2016. Disability mainly caused by motor symptoms. This study aims to determine the clinical characteristics and motor severity in PD patients in Sanglah and Wangaya General Hospital Denpasar. Method: Descriptive observational study with cross-sectional design. Samples taken consecutively from all patients diagnosed with PD at Neurology Polyclinic in Sanglah and Wangaya General Hospital from December 2018 - February 2019. Result: From 47 subjects with PD, 72.3% were male, 83% had onset within 1-5 years, and the mean age was 63.87 ± 8.67 years. As many as 44.7% subjects had Hoehn-Yahr 2 stadium, with an average MDS-UPDRS III score of 35.11 ± 21.39, and 48.9% subjects had mild severity. As many as 59.6% subjects had the status of ON. Motor severity showed a trend that increases with increasing staging, but was not seen when compared to the onset. This result might be affected by the ON/OFF status during examination. Conclusion: Parkinson's disease in Sanglah and Wangaya General Hospital is more common in men and over the age of 50 years, and most are found in moderate severity. There is a trend of worsening motor severity with the increasing Hoehn-Yahr stadium. Examination using UPDRS-III is recommended to be done both on ON and OFF state to get more sensitive results
