Cocoa butter is a by-product in the production process of chocolate bars and chocolate powder. In Bloro Village, Nita District, Sikka Regency, cocoa butter is produced in quite significant quantities, considering that Bloro Village is one of the largest cocoa producers in Sikka. The "Plea Puli" farming group in the village manages a production house known as "Plea Puli Chocolate House." The main objective of this research is to use cocoa butter produced from the chocolate production process as a basic ingredient for making bar soap. Soap is a chemical compound made through the reaction between fat or oil and alkali (usually sodium hydroxide). This soap has emulsifying properties that allow it to bind with dirt and oil on the skin, which can then be washed away. Therefore, the cocoa butter produced from the chocolate production process can be an absorbing soap-making base material. By using these tallow cocoa stalks to make soap, we can create added value for chocolate by-products, which have been considered waste. Apart from that, this can also make a real contribution to local economic development by helping to increase the income of cocoa farmers and encouraging the growth of the Plea Puli Farmers Group.

A new genus and new species of Trechina (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Trechinae:
Trechini), Ryukyuaphaenops pulcherrimus gen. & sp. nov. is described from the Ryukyu
Archipelago, Japan. This is the first troglomorphic Carabidae in the Ryukyus and probably the most cave-adapted beetle in Japan. Interestingly, our observations suggest that this new trechine beetle is not similar to any genera of Trechina distributed in Kyushu and Taiwan, which are geographically close to the Ryukyu Archipelago, but is more similar to several aphaenopsian genera distributed in the inland of China. The genetic diversity of the new species is discussed based on mitochondrial DNA (COI-5’, COI-3’, 16S).

Drug Diffusion from the Gastrointestinal Tract through the Body, Bloodstream, and Urinary Compartments: Mathematical Modeling Approach
Authors: Bunonyo K.W. , Ebiwareme L.
Published: December 2023

This research involved the formulation of a mathematical system that mimics the diffusion of drug concentration from the gastrointestinal tract to the body and bloodstream compartments and the elimination through the urinary tract. The models are formulated separately as ordinary differential equations for the aforementioned compartments, where some pertinent entry parameters in the form of rates were obtained. We applied the Laplace method of solution to solve the formulated mathematical models for the drug concentration in the various compartments as mentioned. In order to investigate the effect of the drug concentration in the urinary and gastrointestinal tracts on the concentration in the body and bloodstream compartments, we solved the urinary tract and gastrointestinal models and substituted the results into the models representing the drug concentration in the body and bloodstream compartments, and those models were later solved to obtain the function representing the body and bloodstream compartments. The research further involved the numerical simulation of the various functions obtained by varying the various rates of diffusion on the drug concentration in the body and bloodstream compartments. The results revealed that the various diffusion rate changes affect the drug concentration level in the body and bloodstream compartments, respectively. The novelty of this research is the fact that we’ve been able to incorporate drug administration and concretion in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts, which were not considered previously. This research is recommended for application by mathematicians and scientists alike who could be interested in understanding drug diffusion from one compartment to another with different rate constants.

Data were collected by distributing questionnaires filled out through direct interviews with the patients. The questionnaires used were the MARS and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires were used. The subjects in this study were outpatients with tuberculosis who were undergoing treatment at our hospital. The Drajat Prawiranegara Serang Hospital met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Sequential sampling was used as a sampling technique in this study. Statistical data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and correlation. The number of respondents in this study who met the inclusion criteria was 30. As many as 80.0% of tuberculosis patients adhere to taking medication, and 83.3% of tuberculosis patients have a good quality of life. The results of statistical tests show that there is a relationship between the level of compliance of tuberculosis patients and the level of knowledge, income, attitude of health workers, and family support. In contrast, the variables of the level of education, employment, motivation, distance to health facilities, and quality of life did not have a significant relationship with the level of tuberculosis patient compliance...

Glaukoma merupakan salah satu penyakit neuropati optik kronis dan progresif yang memerlukan terapi jangka panjang, salah satunya dengan sediaan tetes mata. Dalam penggunaan sediaan tetes mata, pasien perlu memperhatikan Beyond Use Date (BUD) sediaan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik pasien glaukoma tentang BUD obat tetes mata di salah satu rumah sakit di Bandung. Penelitian melibatkan 313 subjek penelitian dengan kriteria inklusi menderita glaukoma dan menerima terapi obat tetes mata minidose maupun multidose. Desain penelitian adalah observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Instrumen penelitian adalah kuesioner valid dan reliabel yang dikembangkan oleh peneliti untuk mengevaluasi pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku pasien. Data dianalisis secara univariat (karakteristik demografi, terapi, tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik) dan bivariat (uji korelasi spearman) untuk menganalisis korelasi antar variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar pasien glaukoma merupakan pasien lansia (52,8%), dengan pendidikan terakhir SMA (32.3%), menerima obat tetes mata kombinasi minidose dan multidose (55.3%), dengan durasi penggunaan obat 1 bulan sampai 1 tahun (55.3%). Obat yang paling banyak digunakan adalah timolol 0.5% (33,9%), artificial tears (24.8%), prednisolon (13.1%), dan latanoprost (12.6%). Sebagian besar pasien memiliki pengetahuan terkait BUD yang kurang (87.2%), namun memiliki sikap (99.4%) dan praktik (73.4%) penerapan BUD yang positif. Uji korelasi Spearman menunjukkan bahwa sikap pasien berkorelasi dengan praktik pasien terkait BUD secara signifikan dengan kekuatan korelasi moderate (Corr. Coef = 0.441; p=0.000**) dengan arah korelasi positif...
EVALUATION OF APHRODISIAC ACTIVITY OF ETHYL ACETATE FRACTION OF CLOVE LEAVES (Syzygium aromaticum L.) IN MALE WHITE RATS (Rattus norvegicus)

Clove leaves contain antioxidant compounds such as saponins, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, and essential oils. Among those chemical constituents, eugenol, eugenol acetate, caryophyllene, and sesquiterpenes were believed to have aphrodisiac activity. This study aims to investigate the potential aphrodisiac effects of the ethyl acetate fraction of clove leaves (Syzygium aromaticum L) administered at a dose of 250 mg/kg BW. The research employed an experimental method with a modified post-test randomized controlled group design and utilized a total of 45 white rats, consisting of 15 males and 30 females, divided into three treatment groups in a 1:2 ratio. Each group consisted of 5 male rats and 10 female rats. The three groups included the healthy control group (Na-CMC 0.5%), the positive control group (treated with X-Gra 52.5 mg/kg body weight) and the treatment group receiving clove leaf extract samples at a dosage of 250 mg/kg BW. The results indicate that the ethyl acetate fraction of clove leaves contains steroids and alkaloids with mount latency (ML), intromission latency (IL) ejaculation latency (EL), mount frequency (MF), intromission frequency (IF) and ejaculation frequency (EF) of 11.40 s, 15.80 s, 6.228 s, 23.60, 14.60, and 1.60 s, respectively. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that it has the potential to be used as an aphrodisiac agent.

Undermining the ‘Polder Model’: Workers’ Militancy and Trade-Union Leadership in Four Dutch Wildcat Strikes, 1963–1970
Authors: Knotter Ad
Published: December 2023

All over Europe, workers’ insubordination in the 1960s and 1970s became manifest in a growing number of wildcat strikes. In the Netherlands, under the guise of the so-called consensual ‘polder model’, trade unions were part of a repressive system of industrial relations. From 1963, rank-and-file opposition in ‘unofficial’ strikes forced the ‘official’ unions to abandon their support of restrictive wage policies. After a huge wildcat strike in the port of Rotterdam in 1970, the union leadership changed its policy and began to initiate strikes. In this article, rank-and-file mobilization and the union leaderships’ reaction are analysed in four wildcat strikes between 1963 and 1970. It concludes that in these strikes the union leadership and rank-and-file members, while opposed to each other, were also mutually dependent. The union leadership was forced to adapt to pressure from below, and strikers had to rely on the bargaining ability of union officials to reach an agreement with the employers. Both parties had to accept an involuntary symbiosis. In this way, the attachment of the trade-union leadership to the top-down consensus in the ‘polder model’ was undermined.
Discrimination through Bargaining Structures: Gender Bias in the National Coal Board and British Coal
Authors: Fine Ben
Published: December 2023

In its analysis of the pay determination of British Coal canteen workers, this article introduces that by Kathy O’Donnell, who argues that, in all but name, canteen workers were part of a single bargaining structure that included male surface mineworkers. It is drawn from the evidence prepared for the National Union of Mineworkers in late 1990 in support of an equal pay claim for female canteen workers and cleaners employed by British Coal. The claim was successful.

Two points clearly emerge. First, job segregation allowed women workers to be placed in a separate grading structure from men, and even if there was some overlap between the two at the bottom of the one and at the top of the other, the situation was one in which there was no effective difference from the operation of a single grading structure. But for this institutional segregation, there would have been a much more transparent instance of pay discrimination.
A Sociological Imagination at Work: An Appreciation of the Contribution of John Eldridge
Authors: Elger Tony
Published: December 2023

The early experience of John Eldridge (17 May 1936 to 24 December 2022) in teaching adult classes and research in industry led him to appreciate the understandings and expertise of shop-floor informants, and to think critically about the unequal relations of authority and power that conditioned people’s working lives. His radical Weberian orientation to dispassionate research fused with his Methodist background to underpin a strong linkage between his scholarship and a commitment to social justice and peace.

Fully conversant with sociological research and theory, John explored the complexity and the variety of forms of conflict and accommodation in a distinctive sociological contribution to the debate on the character of workplace industrial conflict in the 1960s and 1970s, and the centrality of analyses of contested cultures, power relations and control strategies in the organization and evolution of industrial enterprises. Later, this formed the basis for a systematic investigation of media bias in industrial relations reportage. He also explored the contested issue of ‘industrial democracy’. John’s essays for

Girls, Wives, Factory Lives
: Fifty Years On
Authors: Pollert Anna
Published: December 2023

Anna Pollert revisits her 1970s ethnographic study of women’s working lives at the Churchman tobacco factory in Bristol to discuss her qualitative methodology and to summarize her findings. In vivid extracts, Pollert recalls the gendered world that women then faced at home as principal family carers and at work – pay, conditions, male managers, a male-dominated union – and analyses their views, values, and lives.

Although the 2020s are a very different world from the 1970s, Pollert notes unwelcome continuities – occupational gender segregation, the gender pay gap (albeit narrowed), low pay, and the domestic division of labour in which women still do more work than men. A positive change is that women are more assertive about their rights. However, the greater openness and social liberalism has been accompanied by a fracturing of other certainties such as the availability of public provision and the growth of zero-hours and sub-contract labour. Pollert restates the value of ethnographic research in understanding what goes on at work ‘behind the headlines’ to understand the dynamics of workers’ consciousness and collective action.
