ABSTRAK

 

Latar Belakang. Demam Berdarah Dengue merupakan penyakit yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue melalui vektor Aedes aegypti. Penggunaan insektisida sintetik sebagai larvasida masih kurang efektif karena menimbulkan masalah lingkungan serta resistensi serangga sasaran. Upaya alternatif untuk mengatasi dampak negatif tersebut adalah menggunakan larvasida nabati dari ekstrak daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) yang lebih ramah lingkungan. Kandungan senyawa metabolit sekunder berupa alkaloid, saponin, tanin, terpenoid dan flavonoid dalam daun kelor (Moringa oleifera) dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai larvasida nabati yang menimbulkan kematian larva.

Tujuan. Untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya efek larvasida ekstrak daun kelor sebagai larvasida nabati terhadap kematian larva nyamuk Aedes aegypti.

Metode. Ekstrak daun kelor dibuat menggunakan pelarut etanol 70% dengan teknik maserasi. Uji fitokimia dilakukan untuk mengetahui kandungan metabolit sekunder dari ekstrak daun kelor. Digunakan 700 ekor larva Aedes aegypti instar III/IV yang dibagi dalam 7 kelompok perlakuan, (kelompok kontrol positif dengan abate 100 ppm, kelompok kontrol negatif dengan aquades, kelompok ekstrak daun kelor 750 ppm, 1500 ppm, 2250 ppm, 3000 ppm, dan 3750 ppm). Pengamatan dilakukan selama 24 jam dengan 4 kali pengulangan.

Hasil. Pada uji fitokimia didapatkan ekstrak daun kelor mengandung alkaloid, flavonoid, terpenoid, saponin, dan tanin. Rata-rata kematian larva yang paling tinggi ditemukan pada kosentrasi 3750 ppm yaitu 19,50 ekor larva Aedes aegypti. Hasil analisis Kruskall Wallis menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak daun kelor sebagai larvasida nabati memiliki efek larvasida untuk membunuh larva Aedes aegypti (p=0,000). Pada analisis probit didapatkan bahwa LC50 dari ekstrak terhadap Aedes aegypti adalah 3589 ppm dan LC99 10391 ppm.

Kesimpulan. Ekstrak daun kelor sebagai larvasida nabati memiliki efek larvasida terhadap kematian larva Aedes aegypti.

Kata Kunci :Daun kelor, Aedes aegypti, Larvasida nabati

Authors: Zhahira Laura Citra , Mutiaz Intan Rizky
Published: August 2023

Riset berperan sebagai tolok ukur kemajuan ekonomi suatu negara. Sayangnya, di Indonesia jumlah periset masih tergolong rendah. Data UNESCO menyebutkan angka periset di Indonesia tidak lebih dari 300 per satu juta penduduk, jauh dari kondisi ideal. Dukungan lembaga riset besar seperti BRIN diperlukan untuk membantu terlaksananya regenerasi periset di negeri ini, karena generasi muda menganggap profesi di bidang riset terlalu berat untuk dicita-citakan. Salah satu strategi komunikasi yang bisa dimanfaatkan untuk mengomunikasikan riset dan dekat dengan generasi muda adalah media sosial TikTok, dimana konten riset yang selama ini dianggap berat dan serius dapat dikombinasikan dengan materi visual yang menarik, narasi cerita yang unik melalui format game, serta menggunakan bahasa yang populer. Survei yang dilakukan oleh Kominfo menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia memiliki pasar video game yang besar, dengan jumlah pemain game di atas 170 juta orang, dimana game mobile merupakan sektor pendorong utama di industri ini. Dalam penelitian ini, pendekatan yang digunakan didasarkan pada model Penelitian dan Pengembangan (R&D) yang dikembangkan oleh Borg & Gall (1983). Fokus utama dari pendekatan ini adalah mengembangkan produk yang dapat digunakan oleh BRIN melalui media sosial untuk mengenalkan riset dan iptek kepada generasi muda, khususnya remaja. Dari hasil penelitian, diketahui bahwa penggunaan game edukasi berjudul ‘Infected Bananas!’ melalui platform TikTok BRIN merupakan salah satu pilihan strategi yang dapat diterapkan untuk mengenalkan riset kepada remaja.

Batam City Coastal Tourism Management: Economic Opportunities for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises in Tourism
Authors: Hulu Meitolo , Lemy Diena M. , Pramezwary Amelda , Juliana Juliana , Timba Yosep Dudedes
Published: August 2023

Objective – This research focused on local communities' involvement as SMEs in Batam City's coastal area tourism. This study is based on the argument that MSMEs offer welfare to local communities while simultaneously becoming an attraction in tourist destinations.
Methodology – This research used a descriptive qualitative approach with primary and secondary data collection. Primary data was collected through focused group discussions, interviews with local governments, interviews with community MSME actors, and field observations in four coastal areas. Secondary data was gathered through the collection of related documents.
Findings – The results of this study indicate that (1) local communities' involvement as MSME actors are still not optimal due to limited knowledge of when and how to exploit economic opportunities, (2) there is potential in developing culinary, crafts, and local culture by curating potential products and packaging local culture into a tourist attraction, (3) local communities have limited access to human resources training and service quality improvement programs provided by the local governments. Tourism awareness groups in observed areas have worked to mobilize and increase local communities' involvement.
Novelty – Exploring the potentials of culinary, craft, and tourist attractions requires optimum local government involvement. The provincial government and communities join efforts to improve the quality of coastal tourism by developing local communities' role as SMEs in the tourism sector. This finding proves that coastal potential cannot be used sustainably if it is not developed through the involvement of local communities.

Authors: T. Prof. Saadi, , A. Prof. Zaoudi,
Published: August 2023

Objective – This study examines the relationship between diversification strategy and company economic performance in the Moroccan real estate sector. The research focuses on measuring the impact of diversification on technical and Scale efficiency using the Data Envelopment Analysis (D.E.A.) method. The objective is to provide empirical evidence regarding the performance differences between diversified and undiversified companies in the Moroccan real estate industry context.
Methodology –Data was collected on sales, inventory, and personnel expenses to construct the input-output ratio from a sample of 60 companies in the Moroccan real estate sector. Diversified and undiversified firms were identified based on their business activities. The Data Envelopment Analysis (D.E.A.) method was then applied to measure these companies' technical and Scale efficiency.
Findings – The results reveal that diversified companies in the Moroccan real estate sector exhibit significantly higher economic efficiency, around 40% compared to 31% for undiversified firms. Moreover, diversified firms demonstrate superior pure technical efficiency with a score of 47%, while undiversified firms lag at 36%. However, the two groups have no significant difference in scale efficiency. These findings highlight the positive impact of diversification on overall efficiency and suggest the potential benefits of adopting diversified strategies in the real estate industry.
Novelty – This study contributes to the existing literature by exploring the relationship between diversification and performance in the particular context of the real estate industry in Morocco. The findings of this study have practical implications. Managers and policymakers can utilize the results to understand the potential benefits of diversification and consider incorporating this strategy into their business models.

Empirical Analysis of Unlisted Companies' Valuation Using Discounted Cash Flow Methods
Authors: DRISSI Ramzi
Published: August 2023

Objective – This paper aims to examine the theoretical and practical aspects of the widely used discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation method.
Methodology – The proposed method is probably the most widely used approach in the valuation of unlisted companies. It involves estimating the future cash flows that the company is expected to generate and discounting them to their present value using a discount rate. The study was conducted on Spanish olive oil companies between 2005 and 2020.
Findings – Our results show that there are two values for valuing companies: static and dynamic values. Both values are calculated based on the sum of the updated cash value plus the remaining value. The static value provides only one value, while the dynamic value provides a range of values, resulting in a more accurate understanding of a company's value and a better comprehension of the risks associated with that value. Therefore, the company is considered a cash flow generator, and the value of the company is found by calculating the present value of these flows using an appropriate discount rate.
Novelty – Despite this method being a powerful tool for evaluating companies, even in complex situations, the DCF method is subject to a significant assumption bias, and even slight changes in the underlying assumptions of the analysis can greatly alter the evaluation results.

Influence of epitaxial growth on spin current transmission of NiO films
Authors: Yamazaki Takumi , Seki Takeshi , Kubota Takahide , Takanashi Koki
Published: August 2023

This letter reports the effect of the epitaxial growth of NiO films on its spin current transmission. Two sample series of Pt/NiO/CoFeB, including epitaxial and polycrystalline NiO, were prepared using different deposition conditions. The spin current transmission of NiO is evaluated using the thermo-spin effects in the trilayers. Epitaxial NiO exhibits a non-monotonic behavior in the NiO thickness dependence of spin current transmission, while this behavior is smeared out in polycrystalline NiO. The non-monotonic behavior implies the presence of multiple spin transport mechanisms, which becomes apparent with epitaxial growth.

Published: August 2023

We report a q-plate-waveguide hybrid optical vortex emitter processed by femtosecond laser directly writing the lithium niobate (LN) single crystal. Both simulation and experimental results show that by utilizing the geometric phase of the q-plate, the fabricated device can convert the incident Gaussian beam into the vortex beam with orbital angular momentum (OAM) and realize the low-loss transmission of the vortex beam in the double-cladding waveguide. Our results demonstrate that the q-plate-waveguide hybrid structure has great prospects for promoting the development of photonic integrated chips (PICs) by generating and propagating a vortex beam with a certain topological charge.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the incidence of CVT at CMCH for a duration of 1 year. To study risk factors predisposing to CVT in pregnancy and puerperium and to assess their statistical signicance. To nd a correlation between Serum Homocysteine levels and risk factors affecting CVT in pregnancy and to study the outcome of CVT in pregnancy. Methodology: This prospective study was undertaken at Government Medical college hospital Coimbatore.30 consecutive patients admitted with CVT diagnosed on neuroimaging were evaluated. Data were collected after obtaining prior written consent by the interview method. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire Venous samples withdrawn from pregnant and those in the puerperal period diagnosed by neuroimagine with CVT and Serum Homocysteine levels were measured. In this s Result: tudy, among 8982 obstetric admissions over a period of 1 year, 30 cases were found to be diagnosed with CVT, with a prevalence of 0.3%. In the majority of the cases 26 out of 30 cases (86.7%) were presented during puerperium. Anaemia, lack of aseptic precautions during delivery and prolonged dehydration after delivery are the major causative factors. The majority of the patients belonged to low socio-economic group with 18 out of 30 patients ( 60% ) of them belonging to class V status. We also found that patients hailing from higher altitude areas are at a higher risk of developing CVT compared to the general population. Hyperhomocysteinemia was found in the majority of the patients studied and was found to have a signicant correlation with multi-parity. Conclusion: So in this present study, the analysis of risk factors, etiopathogenesis and outcome of cerebro venous accidents in pregnancy, Primary cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a major cause of stroke in young women, with factors including anaemia, lack of aseptic precautions, prolonged dehydration and hyperhomocysteinemia.

Introduction: Liver abscess, a disease troubling mankind from ancient times, has earliest documentation in the works of Bhrigu Samhita (3000 B.C.), wherein there is mention of blood and mucus in diarrhea with right upper abdominal pain. They have potentially lethal consequences, if prompt diagnosis and treatment are not accomplished. Liver abscess can be of various types depending on etiology. However two major types are amoebic and pyogenic in nature To m Aims: ake early, accurate and cost effective diagnosis of liver abscess on clinical, radiological and microbiological basis, etiological and epidemiological basis of liver abscess and to show association with other co-morbid condition and addiction (diabetes mellitus, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and alcoholism) and the different treatment option of liver abscess, amoebic or pyogenic in order to have some guidelines in our setting. This study was a prospective, Materials and Methods: non-randomized, comparative study from November 2020 to August 2022 at Department of General Surgery and Department of Radiology Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital. Total 50 patients were included in this study. In our study we found that more than 80% patient Result: were of amoebic liver abscess and among pyogenic liver abscess most common pathogen was E coli followed by klebsiella. Only 12% patients of our study presented with jaundice. Jaundice is not that common in hepatic abscesses. It occurs following intrahepatic obstruction or associated hepatitis and is usually seen in large or multiple abscesses and also in abscesses situated at porta hepatis due to extra-hepatic biliary obstruction and study subjects (78%) had solitary liver abscess (88% of ALA and 25% of PLA) and 78% of our patients had their right lobe involved (87.55 of ALA and 37.5% of PLA). CT guided aspiration showed excellent result however it wa Conclusion: s only done where USG was inconclusive and only two patient underwent CT guided aspiration so it will not be prudent to comment on this procedure however further studies are required for this intervention in our setting where cost of treatment is most important factor as most of the patient belong to low socioeconomic strata.

Authors: Rajiv Rajiv , Gupta Megha
Published: August 2023

Consumers of Indian fast food chains today's care not only about the quality and avor of their meals, but also about how
quickly they can get their orders at table. Managers at these Indian-branded quick-service outlets have been training their
staffs and improving other aspects of operations in order to keep up with the rising demand. The purpose of this study is to make an effort to analyse
the acceptance of convenience food among managers and chefs working in Indian branded quick service restaurants (QSR) and to rank the
perceptions that affect these individuals to employ convenience food in day-to-day operations. The present study was conducted in various Indian
branded QSR outlets in North India. The results reveal that Majority Indian Branded QSR Outlets operators warmly accept the usage of RTU food
in their respective outlets. Convenience food plays an important role in overall performance of these outlets especially in context to quality and
service time

Published: August 2023

This systematic review aims to summarize the best-available evidence concerning the prevalence of cognitive
impairment and depression in the northern and southern European countries from 2019 to 2022. A computerized literature
research was executed, using a stepwise searching approach. PubMed, EBSCO and Scopus databases were searched for studies published from
2019 to 2022. Findings suggest that in the years 2019-2022 the prevalence of depression and cognitive impairment was higher in southern
European countries than in northern European countries However, northern European countries had faster annual cognitive decline. A result that
could be explained by the prevention strategies that each country is using, the Mediterranean diet adherence, lifestyle and the COVID-19 impact.
The ndings presented here contribute to a better understanding of the prevalence of cognitive impairment and depression in older adults of north
and south Europe from the year 2019 which signaled the impact of COVID-19 situation. This may be a starting point for further research.
REGULARIZING NONLINEAR INVERSE PROBLEMS THAT WE CALL THE NONLINEAR X2 METHOD
Authors: Mohammed Wannas Israa
Published: August 2023

Regularizing nonlinear inverse problems uses multiple Theorems to analyze the least squares solution is sometimes
called the x2 test. If J (^x) is much larger than the mean of x2 n-m or is outside of some condence interval, for example
say a 95% condence interval, then this would suggest that the errors in the data are larger than expected. This indicates that either the covariance
of the data errors is too small or the forward problem does not accurately model the physical system. Therefore, Theorem supplies some very
useful information about the solution to the inverse problem. This result only applies to linear problems, however, it is shown in that it
approximately holds for nonlinear problems in a region around ^x. For nonlinear issues, the least squares estimate is not as straightforward. Since
the minimum cannot be calculated analytically, an iterative approach must be adopted. Finding the solution falls within the umbrella of the
mathematical discipline of optimization. This nonlinear unconstrained optimization problem can be solved using a wide range of techniques,
such as genetic algorithms, stochastic algorithms, particle swarm optimization algorithms, quantum optimization algorithms (which require a
quantum computer), pattern search algorithms, direct search techniques, steepest descent algorithms, and conjugate gradient algorithms.
However, Newton's method-style algorithms are among the fastest and most effective, and they can even provide quadratic convergence if the
function behaves properly (that is, if it is continuous and twice differential in the domain)

Published: August 2023

Acharya Sushruta has described unique concept of Marma Sharir. Marma are vital points where Prana resides. Marma comes from Sanskrit word “mru” which means 'to kill'. Marma plays an important role in surgery. That is why these points also called as 'shalya vishayardha'. Acharyas have explained 107 Marma, out of which 37 are Urdhvajatrugata Marma. Acharya Charaka also called 'Siras' as 'Uttamanga' as it has control over all other Indriya and Prana resides in it. Matrika is one of Urdhvajatrugata marma. Matrika Marma are eight in number and it is located in neck on either side of Kanthanadi. Structurally it is Sira Marma and on the basis of traumatic effect it is Sadhyopranahara Marma. Aim of this paper is to nd out appropriate structure and applied aspect of this Marma in present context.

Published: August 2023

COVID-19 calls for new ways of approaching internationalisation in adult learning and education. Based on experiences gathered during the 2021 virtual Adult Education Academy, this paper identifies challenges in international virtual learning settings in higher education. Such settings involve different levels of digital literacy among participants and moderators, limited access to high-speed internet, different time zones, and difficulties in social interactions. The article presents the didactical and methodological conceptualisation of a virtual setting to overcome these challenges. The concept involves facilitating exchanges between moderators, providing technical support, implementing (a-)synchronous sessions, and establishing a virtual space in which learning materials are created.

The adult education (AE) research community emphasise the importance of well-qualified personnel working in the field of AE. However, the field is facing with challenges achieving this aim. This chapter research professionalisation of AE from a multi-level perspective in one European Union member state – Slovenia. Based on empirical data from Slovenia, the chapter argues that coordination at three levels is important: at the national level, professionalisation is strengthened by state policies and regulations; at the organisational level, the professional development of adult educators is supported by organisations; and at the individual level, the focus is on professional knowledge and strengthening the professional identity of adult educators.
Natural reserves and their impact on biodiversity protection in the marshes
Authors: خضير عباس
Published: August 2023

The deterioration, which has increased in severity during the recent times, is considered one of the most serious environmental problems created by man as a result of his irrational dealings with his environment, especially environments that are characterized by fragile ecosystems, characterized by a rapidly perishable environmental balance, that can be disturbed under the influence of mismanagement and irrational exploitation of natural resources, including natural plants. And water and soil, that this imbalance in the natural environmental balance leads to deterioration.
There is no doubt that the marshes are no longer able to renew their natural resources and restore balance to the environment and nature to its health after the multiplicity of factors and causes that led to an imbalance in the environmental balance and the increase in biological deterioration and the extinction of many living creatures of all kinds.
