Authors: Sitamala Afandi
Published: August 2020

The overall objective underlying the establishment of the UN Security Council was to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” (Preamble to the UN Charter) which used as the official campaign by the Indonesia Foreign Ministry, Indonesia stated itself as ‘A True Partner for World Peace’. By that, Indonesia expresses the gravity of its membership by aiming towards ascertaining collaborations between the regional organizations in maintaining stability in the regional area (ASEAN). Indonesia’s goals for bridging UNSC hegemony on the global level and bringing the stability of the ASEAN area is going to be effortful. The challenge of establishing the UN resolution as a legal instrument in municipal law becomes one of the biggest challenges. The two years of tenure also grow into a barrier toward Indonesian contributions. This study aims to analyze Indonesia role as the non-permanent member of UNSC globally and in the ASEAN Region. The final results were presented in a descriptive manner, which gives an overview of how Indonesia’s role in the UNSC, and how Indonesia’s aimed toward synergized ASEAN.

Authors: Srinidhi FNU
Published: August 2020

In recent years, the significance of oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of Neurodegenerative/developmental diseases like Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s is being studied at an accelerating pace. Nrf2 activation via Keap1 inhibition is an established strategy for enhancing the activity of the cellular antioxidant mechanism. In this study pharmacophore modeling was employed to design efficient Keap1 inhibitors from well-known polypharmacological phytochemicals after extensive structural modifications to improve their pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and drug-likeness qualities. Quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level of theory were performed for geometry optimization of the novel ligands and for computing their electronic properties. Molecular docking studies and comparative interaction analysis ranked the Resveratrol-4 derivative as the best multi-domain antagonist of the Keap1 protein. The following study presents the application of novel, modified, phytochemical derivatives, as efficient antagonists of the Keap1 protein for enhancing neuroprotection from redox insults.

Published: August 2020

Respiratory masks having similar standards of ‘N95’, defined by U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, will be highly sought after, post this COVID-19 related pandemic condition. Here such a low cost (~$1/mask) mask design having electrostatic rechargeability and also having the filtration efficiency of >95% and quality factor of ~20 kPa-1 is demonstrated for its filtration efficacy towards particles of size < 0.5 μm. A tri-layer mask named ‘PPDFGO tri’ is designed here - containing nylon, modified polypropylene (PPY), and cotton non- woven fabrics as three layers. The melt-spun PPY, available in a conventional N95 mask, modified with graphene oxide (GO) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) mixture containing paste using a simple solution casting method acts as active filtration layer, and this tri-layer filtration system is shown for its efficacy towards triboelectric rechargeability using small mechanical agitations. These triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) assisted masks have high electrostatic charge retention capacity (~1 nC/cm2 after 5 days in ambient condition) and high rechargeability even in the very humid condition (>80% RH). A simple but robust permeability measurement set up is also constructed to test these TENG based membranes, where a flow rate of 30-35 L/min is maintained during the testing. Such a simple modification in the existing mask designs enabling their rechargeability via external mechanical disturbances, with enhanced usability for single use as well as for reuse with decontantamination, will be highly beneficial in the modern era of indispensable personal protective equipment.

Evaluating IV Acetaminophen for Pain Management After Cardiac Surgery: A Retrospective Chart Review
Authors: Wilhelm Jason
Published: August 2020

Pain after surgery is one of greatest complaints patients have in the surgical process. It is important to decrease pain after surgery to promote a quicker recovery and minimize complications. Opioids alone have been used to manage post-operative pain in cardiac surgery; However, recently multimodal approaches to pain management are now being explored. This approach involves using multiple medications with varying mechanisms of action for pain relief in addition to decreased adverse effects. Ofirmev (IV acetaminophen) is a relatively new medication for use in cardiac surgery that has few contraindications and side effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate if utilizing the current pain management approach in addition to Ofirmev impacted pain scores in post-operative cardiothoracic patients in a non-experimental retrospective chart review. A two group comparative chart review was conducted for a total of 30 charts to meet inclusion criteria. Group 1 (n=15) received opioid only for pain management were compared to Group 2 (n=15) who received Ofirmev and opioids for pain management after cardiac surgery. Results showed that pain scores at hour 6 and 24 showed significance in favor of Group 2, the Ofirmev group. Results also showed Group 2, the Ofirmev group, consumed less morphine on average than Group 1, opioid only. Unexpectedly, length of stay was on average longer for the Ofirmev group than the non- ofirmev group. The research supports the need to utilize multimodal pain management and alternative techniques to manage pain. This study shows there is a need for further research for pain management with a multimodal approach in cardiac surgery.
The Impact of Intrathecal Dexmedetomidine as an Adjuvant to Bupivacaine on Postoperative Pain
Authors: Wilson Stephanie
Published: August 2020

Postoperative pain is an unpleasant consequence of all surgical procedures. It is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. There are many negative consequences to postoperative pain including delayed recovery, increased healthcare costs, and overall dissatisfaction with care. There are many methods to minimize postoperative pain. Spinal anesthesia has been used for years to improve postoperative pain across a variety of surgical procedures. New research has shown that the use of adjuvant medications with intrathecal bupivacaine greatly improves postoperative pain. One adjuvant medication is dexmedetomidine. The purpose of this systematic review was to determine if the administration of intrathecal dexmedetomidine, as an adjuvant medication to bupivacaine, impacts postoperative pain in adult patients undergoing surgery. A literature review was conducted using the PRISMA flow diagram. Data was then collected from each study and a cross study analysis was conducted. Findings indicated, in all studies, the addition of dexmedetomidine to intrathecal bupivacaine decreased postoperative pain levels. Integration of dexmedetomidine into spinal anesthesia can make an immense difference in postoperative analgesia and recovery, an important consideration for anesthesia providers.

A Catalyst Reusability Study in Palm Fatty Acid Distillate and Glycerol Esterification using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis and Reaction Kinetics Approach
Authors: Sudibyo Hanifrahmawan , Setyaningrum Febbie , Rochmadi  , Fahrurrozi Mohammad
Published: August 2020

As a byproduct of the physical refinement of crude palm oil, palm fatty acid distillate or PFAD has a potential to be transformed into monoglycerides by means of irreversible esterification with glycerol over a cation exchange resin catalyst. Irreversibility of the esterification can be assured by continuous azeotropic removal of water by adding xylene as an entrainer. Because PFAD-glycerol esterification demands high temperatures for fast conversion and high selectivity of monoglycerides, it is necessary to test catalyst reusability performance. In this research, evaluation of catalyst reusability performance was based on five parameters: free fatty acid conversion, the rate of free fatty acid decomposition, the selectivity of monoglycerides, monoglyceride concentration, and the cation exchange capacity of the catalyst. The cation exchange resin used was Tulsion T-42 SM. The evaluation was conducted using the simple multi-attribute rating technique extended to ranking (SMARTER) method. The results showed that the optimum reaction temperature was 180°C. Ultimately, a kinetic study at 180°C was also performed to model the reaction after using similar catalysts for certain times. This kinetic study revealed that the reaction mechanism changed from Langmuir-Hinshelwood to Eley-Rideal after several cycles of catalyst reuse.

Authors: Thwe Thiri , Thwin Nang Su Le′ Mya , Hein Ne Min
Published: August 2020

Low to severe earthquakes occur around the world every year, damaging and causing structural failure in buildings. Consequently, seismic improvements are required for existing buildings that are vulnerable to damage by seismic forces. The objective of this study was to investigate retrofitting strategies in terms of their sustainability. Mandalay, Myanmar, was selected as the study area as it is located near the Sagaing fault, which itself is in a strong earthquake zone (seismic zone 4). A three-storied RC building with a non-seismic design was selected as a case study building. An investigation was carried out into the performance and vulnerability of the building under three earthquake hazard levels. The vulnerability index value was calculated using the Priority Index method. Meanwhile, non-linear static pushover analysis was performed to investigate the performance of the existing building using SAP2000 V14 software. Four different types of retrofitting strategies were considered, namely reinforced concrete shear walls with openings, reinforced concrete shear walls without openings, steel plate shear walls, and finally steel bracing. Among these, it was found that the use of steel plate shear walls was the best retrofitting technique, owing to it having the best performance along with the lowest displacement. Its performance level reached up to the Immediate Occupancy (IO) level even under the conditions of a Maximum Consider Earthquake (MCE).
WHY DOES THE STRUGGLE AROUND SRT CONTINUE TO THIS DAY?
Authors: Chubykalo A. , Espinoza A. , Kuligin V. , Korneva M.
Published: August 2020

The purpose of this article is not to criticize the theory of relativity, but to try to understand why, despite more than a century of dominance in physics, it is constantly criticized by physicists. In this paper, a thorough analysis of A. Einstein's theory of relativity is carried out. It relies on philosophical, physical-mathematical, logical-historical methods of investigation. It is shown that in SRT there is an error in the physical interpretation of the mathematical formalism of the Lorentz transformation (epistemological error). Therefore, the interpretation of the SRT phenomena contains logical contradictions and paradoxes. It is also shown that a consistent interpretation can be given for the Lorentz transformation within the framework of classical space-time representations. It is established that the real speed of the relative motion of inertial reference frames in  is greater than the speed entering the Lorentz transformation. A new explanation is offered for relativistic phenomena without violating logic and without paradoxes. The results are of great importance for the description of relativistic phenomena in physical theories, and also for applied disciplines, for example, for the theory of cyclic accelerators, etc.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JUSTICE AND RATIONALITY IN ANCIENT, MEDIEVAL AND MODERN ERA: A CRITICAL INVESTIGATION OF MACINTYRE’S CONCEPTION
Authors: Yasmin Anila , Iqbal Riffat
Published: August 2020

The present study aims to explore the nature of justice and rationality and a relationship between them that how it has become a base for any society and culture in ancient, medieval and modern age. And how different thinkers present rival and compatible views about justice and rationality and how they both impact in our society. Any society benefits from having justice as a prevailing virtue. This helps ensure that wrongs will be ended and rights will be upheld thereby leading to a safer society for everyone. Its strong relation with virtues maintains that it cannot uphold without the presence of virtues. The most basic virtue is rationality without which no justice is possible. Different thinkers in ancient medieval and modern times give different views about the relationship between justice and rationality. But Macintyre holds that there is no neutral conception of justice but there are different standards of justice and rationality in every society.

Authors: Zazueta-Gambino Alvaro , Reyes-Betanzo Claudia , Herrera-Celis José
Published: August 2020

The design and simulation of a biosensor based on interdigitated microelectrodes for bacteria detection is presented. The biosensor includes a microchannel to ensure the flow of the sample through the space between microelectrodes, where the surface is biofunctionalized with antibodies to capture the bacteria. The design was built on COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The effects of the microelectrode thickness and the channel depth on the biosensor sensitivity were studied by simulation. There is a specific microelectrode thickness at which the sensitivity is maximum for Escherichia coli. The microchannel depth affects the sensitivity of the device when it is below 10 μm, approximately. The sensitivity increases when the biosensor is made with low-permittivity materials. A maximum percentage change in capacitance of around 46% was obtained by covering the total sensing area with bacteria.

Os dados foram coletados e analisados por meio da utilização de questionário aplicado aos estudantes do ensino fundamental; da observação participante e da intervenção durante as aulas de matemática; das narrativas orais (audiogravações das aulas) e das narrativas escritas; e do diário reflexivo das pesquisadoras. A análise dos dados indica que o desenvolvimento de jogos nas aulas de matemática possibilita aos estudantes criar estratégias para resolução das situações-problema, apropriar-se de conceitos matemáticos através da sua participação ativa nos jogos, de maneira lúdica e prazerosa. Este trabalho contribuiu para enriquecer conhecimentos, visto que é possível tornar a matemática mais prazerosa e menos tediosa para os alunos, além de desenvolver o seu raciocínio, pela participação ativa e pela organização do pensamento matemático.

Authors: Silva Américo Junior Nunes da , Nery Érica Santana Silveira , Nogueira Cleia Alves
Published: August 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre os impactos e desafios impostos no momento atual de pandemia para a formação dos professores que ensinam Matemática no que se refere à efetivação de uma prática inclusiva com o uso das tecnologias digitais. Para isso, realizamos uma discussão teórica sobre astemáticas que emergem da problematização deste objetivo, a saber: formação de professores que ensinam Matemática, tecnologias digitais e educação inclusiva. Ao discorrermos teoricamente sobre cada uma dessas três temáticas, levantamos alguns desafios, que emergem do contexto pandêmico e apresentamos as interseções dessas três áreas de pesquisa, que nos possibilita compreender a educação, enquanto uma área de atuação, composta por um conjunto de subáreas que possuem relações e desafios semelhantes e que, por conseguinte, podem ser pensadas articuladamente. Com tais fundamentos, constatamos que perante o “novo normal”, faz-se necessário repensar o ensino de Matemática desenvolvido nas instituições de ensino, com o intuito de incorporar novas tecnologias digitais e de considerarmos um ensino paratodos, subsidiado pela concepção de acessibilidade enquanto um aspecto transversal que pode contribuir não apenas para o estudante ou professor que tem alguma Necessidade Educacional Específica, mas com todos os agentes envolvidos nos processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Ademais, para que todos esses aspectos possam se efetivar faz-se necessário, antes de tudo, uma formação docente pautada em uma práxis reflexiva, que possibilite aos professores analisarem continuamente a sua prática docente a luz de fundamentos teóricos. Além disso, torna-se necessária, a disponibilização de materiais adequados e acessíveis tanto para os professores quanto para os estudantes, para que os processos de ensino e aprendizagem sejam efetivos e contribuam para a formação humana e cidadã de todos os brasileiros.

Using Machine Learning to Generate Novel Hypotheses: Increasing Optimism about Covid-19 Makes People Less Willing to Justify Unethical Behaviors
Authors: Savani Krishna
Published: August 2020

How can we nudge people
to not engage in unethical behaviors, such as hoarding and violating social
distancing, during Covid-19? As past research on antecedents of unethical
behavior did not provide a clear answer, we turned to machine learning to
generate novel hypotheses. We trained a deep learning model to predict whether
or not World Values Survey respondents perceived unethical behaviors as
justifiable, based on their responses to 708 other questions. The model
identified optimism about the future of humanity as one of the top predictors
of unethicality. A pre-registered correlational study (N=218 US-residents)
conceptually replicated this finding. A preregistered experiment (N=294
US-residents) provided causal support: participants who read a scenario conveying
optimism about the Covid-19 pandemic were less willing to justify hoarding and
violating social distancing guidelines. The findings suggest that optimism can
help reduce unethicality, and document the utility of machine learning methods
for generating novel hypotheses.

Real Effective Exchange Rate, Broad Money Supply, and Trade Balance in Vietnam: An Empirical Analysis from Bounds Test to a Cointegration Approach
Authors: Dao Kieu Oanh , Nguyen V.C. , Dinh Si Tri Nhan
Published: August 2020

This paper aims to investigate the impact of the real effective exchange rate and broad money supply on the trade balance in Vietnam using quarterly data from the first quarter of 2000 to the fourth quarter of 2018. Using the ARDL-ECM approach to investigate this effect, a cointegration relationship exists between real effective exchange rate, broad money supply and trade balance. Results demonstrate that real effective exchange rate has a short-term negative impact on trade balance. Additionally, broad money supply has a positive impact on trade balance in the short run and long run with a very weak effect. Surprisingly, it was found that real foreign income and local income have no impact on trade balance.
