Abstract_ The source of the noise level at the train station in several interior spaces including the VIP room, hall, office, market, and loco café by measuring in the field and carried out on September 15, 2023, at 12.33 WIB. The noise standard level based on the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 48 of 1996 that the train station is 60 decibels. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of noise. The method used is a quantitative method by taking in the field and comparing the calibrated Sound Level Meter and Sound Meter Application within 3 minutes from the arrival of the train until the train departs. The results of the noise level of the five interiors of Semarang Poncol Station show that the noise level is greatest in the hall of Poncol station because the room is semi-open to make the sound that enters the room is very disturbed, and the noise level of the five rooms above the standard limit of the noise level. So it can be concluded that the room at Poncol Station experiences more noise than it should. The noise in the interior area of the station can exceed the specified comfort limit because of the different sound sources.

Published: July 2024

Presently, any development initiatives without considering sustainability can barely be imagined. There has been a paradigm shift in the focus of the development partners from the mere development to sustainable development. However, the role of development partners in bringing sustainability in livelihood assets of the rural community has long been questioned. Hence, this study aims to explore the sustainability in the form of changes in livelihood assets of a local community in Bangladesh. This study considers the changes in livelihood assets of the community over the three-time frames - before, during, and after a project implemented by a national NGO called ‘UST’ and subsequently identifies the community’s capacity to sustain the project outcomes after the completion of the project. ‘Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF)’ developed by Department for International Development (DFID) was utilized in this study to analyse the vulnerability and livelihood issues of the community members. Data has been collected through focus group discussions, household survey and key informants’ interviews from three distinct villages of ‘Khutamara’ union in the ‘Nilphamari’ district of Bangladesh. The finding of the study states that all the livelihood assets such as the social capital, human capital, natural capital, financial capital, physical capital have positively changed due to the interference of the development partners. This study further finds that even after the completion of project tenure, such positive trends continue to exist among the community members indicating sustainable development. Moreover, political capital- a new type of livelihood has also emerged because of the project implementation which was not quite evident before the inception of the project. In addition, this study explored the unique phenomenon of the Shabolombee Gram, where the transformation altering farmers’, livelihoods does not come from the government or the private sector but originates from a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). Therefore, the government and its development partners may adopt and incorporate the Modified Sustainable Livelihood Framework (MSLF) to ensure the sustainable development.

Authors: Hidayawanti Ranti , Latief Yusuf , Gaspersz Vincent
Published: July 2024

A precise risk assessment in a production line constitutes a significant item to identify susceptible areas where there is a possibility of product quality degradation. This also applies to the precast concrete production line in Indonesia that has a spun pile product. Based on a risk assessment activity conducted in this study, it is proposed to build a traceability model in order to maintain and even improve the spun pile product quality in Indonesia. The approach used was the Neural Network of the perceptron model for weighing and will result in a defined traceability path in the context of reducing defects and even failed spun pile products. The simulation result showed that the model has been able to detect risky path possibilities to reduce product quality. The accumulation result of high-risk and medium-risk paths in this study showed that closer to product finalization, the risk will be higher. It is evident that when assessing Indicators, the order from the highest accumulation value first is Curing & Demolding and Stressing & Spinning at 29% each, Casting at 14%, Forming & Setting at 14%, and lastly Cutting & Heading at 14%. Regarding the risk assessment for activities, the first position is Curing & Demolding and Stressing & Spinning with 30% each, the second is Casting and Forming & Setting with 15% each, and the third is Cutting & Heading with 10%.

Film Industry at the Service of EU Identity Politics
Authors: Khakhalkina E. V. , Vyachistaya A. V.
Published: July 2024

Mass cinema can act as a powerful tool for influencing public opinion by appealing to shared values and collective historical memory, while simultaneously constructing and guiding these elements in alignment with policy objectives. This article explores the thesis that national cinema, as an element of a common cultural code, plays a significant role in the formation and reinforcement of collective (socio-cultural) identity. Specifically, it examines the significance of Brussels' efforts to cultivate a robust film industry as part of the European Union's strategy for constructing a collective identity.

The authors test the hypothesis that cinema serves as a medium for fostering a sense of belonging and emotional connection among EU citizens. To this end, the study aims to uncover the specific mechanisms by which common historical and social narratives are conveyed through European Union cinema. The research methodology is grounded in a structuralist perspective on cinema (P. Wallen, C. Metz).

The article analyzes how the EU has intensified its institutional support and promotion of European cinema, particularly in response to the «crisis of ideas» in Hollywood, which has left a void in the global film market. This analysis is contextualized within the broader sociopolitical landscape, including the rising popularity of mass cinema during the pandemic and the heightened urgency for strengthening EU collective identity amid the Ukrainian crisis and the initiation of a special military operation.

The findings indicate that the EU is increasingly leveraging the film industry to disseminate narratives, ideas, and values critical for both situational objectives – such as consolidating public opinion on specific political issues (illustrated by the «militarization» of the film market in response to the 2022 military operation) – and long-term goals of fortifying the EU's collective identity. However, the long-term efficacy of cinema in shaping public opinion is constrained by its susceptibility to rapid trend shifts driven by audience preferences.
Primer Design and in Silico PCR for Detection Microsatellite Locus on Cassava (Manihot esculenta) as an Early Study of Genetic Diversity of Gluten Free Food Crops
Authors: Septiasari Ni Putu Senshi , Dewi Ni Putu Yuni Astriani
Published: July 2024

Food allergy is a hypersensitive reaction of the body to certain substances that should not be harmful. One of the basic ingredients of foods that are reported to contain allergens is wheat. The type of allergen in wheat is found in gluten, which produces the protein gliadin. The protein gliadin is thought to be the cause of allergic reactions, especially in children and people who have celiac disease. Local food ingredients such as cassava can be used as alternative raw materials for gluten-free food products. The genetic diversity test of cassava is needed to determine the genetic variation of the cassava population and the ability to adapt to natural surroundings. Study of genetic diversity of a plant population can be analyzed by DNA fingerprinting technique using microsatellite molecular markers in the PCR method. Primer selection is a crucial stage because the position of the primer attachment will determine the success of the amplification process. Primer design and in silico PCR assay were carried out as a preliminary study to design the right primer to attach to a specific template. The method used digitally with the help of the NCBI Pick Primer page and FastPCR software for PCR stimulation, knowing the position of the primer attachment, precisely determining the primer and the length of the resulting amplicon. The results obtained in the form of 5 pairs of primer sequences attached to the microsatellite polymorphic locus. The length of the amplicon produced in each primer was 167 bp, 195 bp, 155 bp, 161 bp and 112 bp. The basis of primer selection consists of the length of the primary base, the TM value (melting temperature), the percentage of GC amount and the possibility of the formation of dimers between primers.

Published: July 2024

Traditional petroleum mining activities in 137 old wells in Wonocolo Village, Bojonegoro Regency Council District, East Java, have a positive impact on the local community's economy, but also have a negative impact on the environment in the form of pollution of surface water. The study aims to determine the quality of the Bongso River in the traditional Wonocolo petroleum mining area based on physical and chemical parameters (temperature, pH, DO, TSS, TDS, COD, phenol, and nitrate), as well as analyze the level of pollution in the river using the Pollution Index method. The results of the Bongso River water quality analysis contained parameters that exceeded quality standards, namely, SB 1 station with COD levels of 47.1 mg / L and Phenol 0.196 mg / L. SB 2 station with TDS levels of 1010 mg / L, TSS 93.60 mg / L, COD 94.0 mg / L and phenol 0.552 mg / L. SB 3 station TDS levels 1190 mg / L,  TSS 1778 mg/L, COD 84.7 mg/L, and phenol 0.747. Station SB 4 levels TDS worth 1450 mg / L, TSS 1019 mg / L, COD 28.2 mg / L, phenol 0.632 mg / L and DO levels do not meet the minimum quality standards of 3.4 mg / L. Station SB 5 levels TDS 1310 mg / L, COD 103.5 mg / L and phenol 0.364 mg / L. Station SB 6 levels TDS 1400 mg / L,  COD 65.9 mg/L and phenol 0.585 mg/L. Station SB 7 levels TDS 1230 mg/L, TSS 54.80 mg/L and phenol 0.556 mg/L. Salinity of the Bongso River increased from upstream (SB1) to middle (SB2); 0 ppt to 4 ppt (rainy season). Water quality status using the IP method shows that SB 1 and SB 5 stations are categorized as Lightly Polluted. Meanwhile, SB 2, SB 3, SB 4, SB 6, and SB 7 stations are categorized as Moderately Polluted.
Palladium and platinum minerals in Au-Pd ores of the Chudnoe deposit (Subpolar Urals, Russia)
Authors: Onishchenko S. A. , Kuznetsov S. K.
Published: July 2024

Research subject. Minerals of palladium, platinum, and native gold, localized mainly in the veins of chromium-containing mica (fuchsite) in rhyolites. Aim. Clarification of the localization features of platinum group minerals, their species diversity, determination of the composition of minerals, relationships between precious metal minerals, establishment of the sequence of formation. Methods. Polished sections from ore samples and concentrates of heavy minerals mounted in epoxy resin were studied using optical and electron microscopes. The composition of minerals was determined using a scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectrometer. Results. The main Pd minerals of the deposit are isomertieite/pseudomertieite and mertieite, the minor ones are ateneite and the unnamed Pd6BiSe mineral, and the platinum mineral is sperrylite. Isomertieite/pseudomertieite forms intergrowths with gold of any composition and structure, while mertieite occurs only with relatively low-copper gold of a homogeneous structure; therefore, significant areas of ore zones are characterized by the presence of one of the palladium arsenoantimonides. In some areas of ores, the replacement of isomertieite/pseudomertieite by mertieite wass established. Conclusions. The formation of fuchsite veinlets and the native gold, palladium minerals, and sperrylite contained therein is associated with one stage of mineral formation. Cr, Au, Pd, and Pt in ores form a single geochemical association, which indicates a common source of these elements. This source is most likely to be derivatives of basite-hyperbasite magmatism.

Background: β-Lactams are the most widely used antibiotic family in the world. Nevertheless, they also stand out as the primary culprits for inducing drug hypersensitivity reactions (HSR). Methods: Between May 2018 and March 2023, patients with suspected
HSRs to β-lactams, who underwent skin tests (ST), were retrospectively screened. The determinants of allergenic penicillin (DAP) tests, which include penicillin minor and major determinants, clavulanic acid, and amoxicillin, along with ampicillin, sulbactam, the identified culprit drugs,
and alternative cephalosporins, which include cefuroxime, ceftriaxone prick and/or intradermal tests, were administered. The analysis focused on identifying positive ST results and determining the true HSRs rates in this patient cohort. Results: Of the 147 patients, 78.9%
(n = 116) were women and the median (minimum-maximum) age was 41 years (18‐71 years). Mild HSRs (grades 1‐2) were observed in 72.78% (n = 107), whereas 24.4% (n = 36) had severe reactions (grades 3‐4) and 2.7% (n = 4) had an unknown grade. Of the patients, 64% (n = 94)
experienced HSRs within the first hour after the last dose of the identified culprit drug. The overall positivity rate for all STs was 26.5% (n = 39). ST positivity rates were notably higher in individuals who had experienced HSRs within the past 6 months (p = 0.02) and those
with severe anaphylaxis (p < 0.001). Conclusion: β-Lactam ST positivity is higher, especially in those with grades 3‐4 reactions and consulted a physician within the first 6 months after their HSRs.

A participação dos excluídos digitais em audiências por videoconferência: notas sobre a vulnerabilidade digital e o acesso à justiça
Authors: Moreira de Oliveira Heitor , Cezar Dias Paulo
Published: July 2024

As audiências por videoconferência, no processo civil e no processo penal, possibilitam que os participantes sejam ouvidos sem necessidade de deslocamento e contato físico, o que, em determinadas situações, pode significar economia de gastos para o Estado e para o usuário do Poder Judiciário. As experiências de audiências à distância são relatadas no Brasil desde a década de 1990 e atualmente há previsão legal expressa em diversos diplomas legislativos que autorizam a prática. Com o advento da pandemia de Covid-19 houve inequívoca expansão do uso das audiências virtuais, que se posicionaram como forma de garantir o acesso à justiça. Contudo, parcela significativa da população não possui conexão à internet e tampouco ferramentas tecnológicas, como smartphones e/ou computadores, o que acaba por excluí-la do acesso à justiça no tocante aos atos judiciais eletrônicos, a exemplo das audiências remotas. Nessa linha de raciocínio, a presente pesquisa, de natureza exploratória, realizada através de revisão bibliográfica, em textos e obras da doutrina, bem como legislação, pelo método dedutivo, tem por objetivo investigar o processo de exclusão digital dos usuários do serviço de prestação jurisdicional que não tem conhecimento técnico ou condição financeira para participação em audiências virtuais, bem como as medidas que podem ser adotadas para mitigação da vulnerabilidade digital, a fim de possibilitar o pleno acesso à justiça aos excluídos digitais. Ao final, conclui-se que, em tempos de Justiça 4.0, é necessário que haja mobilização do Poder Judiciário nacional para assegurar que todos os cidadãos possam participar das audiências por videoconferência.

Sobre o juízo consequencialista e suas “consequências” no Direito Administrativo: qual o peso de sua normatividade?
Authors: De Souza Lucas Daniel , Pereira das Neves Bolonha Carlos Alberto
Published: July 2024

A Lei de Introdução ao Direito Brasileiro (LINDB) confere às consequências de uma decisão a normatividade que muitos querem ver? Há previsão expressa para o decisor considerar as consequências práticas da sua decisão baseada em valores jurídicos abstratos, assim como declará-las quando houver invalidação de ato, contrato, ajuste, processo ou norma administrativa. Isso seria a evidência de que o direito administrativo brasileiro incorporou o consequencialismo como forma de decidir? Para alguns a resposta é afirmativa, mas importa ao presente artigo os argumentos de quem responde negativamente a esta pergunta. Este artigo problematiza a normatividade do raciocínio consequencialista para defender que, sob a perspectiva do decisor, as normas da LINDB são critérios de fundamentação da decisão e sob a perspectiva da autoridade-instituição as normas da LINDB são prerrogativas para coordenação dos indivíduos com vistas ao incremento da segurança jurídica.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are uncommon malignant mesenchymal neoplasms that affect the gastrointestinal (GI) system. We describe the case of a 45-year-old man who arrived at the emergency room with haemodynamic instability and profound lower GI haemorrhage. Despite early resuscitation efforts, bleeding continued, necessitating a further investigation. A sizable solid-cystic lesion in the jejunum that was heterogeneously enhancing was seen on computed tomography abdominal angiography. Urgent surgical exploration was performed, uncovering a large mid-jejunal tumour that was successfully removed, restoring haemodynamic stability. A histopathological analysis verified the presence of GIST, an uncommon jejunal occurrence. This case study emphasises the necessity of investigating GIST as a differential diagnosis in individuals presenting with significant lower GI bleeding, even if it is uncommon for their age. Surgical excision remains the cornerstone of care for localised, non-metastatic GISTs, especially in situations of severe bleeding when radiologic therapies are not possible due to haemodynamic instability.

A search for new anticancer agents has prompted the design and synthesis of new novel morpholine ring fused with substituted pyrazoline derivatives MCP 1-4 as potent anticancer agents. MCP compounds were synthesized and the compounds structures were elucidated using elemental analysis and spectroscopic techniques like FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. MCP derivatives binding affinities values were predicted by Auto Dock version, which shows the MCP derivatives as good anticancer 1OQA protein and antimicrobial properties, bacterial protein 1UAG and 5KEE with good binding affinity values from -6.2 to -6.5 kcal/mole and -7.6 to -8.9 kcal/ mole respectively. Among the four MCP compounds, the compounds MCP-1,3 and 4 have the similar binding interaction values of 6.5 kcal/mole. The MCP derivatives have good virus inhibition activity and these compounds are docked with SARS COVID 19 CORONA virus protein 6LU7 to have the docking score values -7.4 to 7-7.6 kcal/ mole. In silico ADME predictions were carried for the synthesized MCP 1-4 derivatives by online tool Swissadme. MCP derivatives have the good log p value of <5. MCP derivatives were also evaluated by antimicrobial activity, the compound MCP-3 showed zone of inhibition values on all the sixteen bacterial cell lines. The compound MCP-3 was subjected to anticancer screening on MCF-7 cell line, the compound showed the good IC50 value.

This paper presents a cross-age facial recognition model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with Transformers. The model first utilizes a depth-separable T2T-ViT network to extract rich facial features. Subsequently, it employs a multi-scale attention decomposition module to nonlinearly decouple age and identity features. The feature decomposition is jointly constrained by mutual information minimization, cross-entropy, and the Arcface function. The model achieves accuracy rates of 94.97%, 99.51%, and 95.81% on three benchmark datasets: FG-NET, CACD_VS, and CALFW, respectively, matching or surpassing the state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance. These results indicate that the proposed model can extract robust facial information and efficiently decouple features, achieving advanced recognition performance.

Selective anion recognition remains a key challenge in supramolecular chemistry: only a very small number of systems that can function in water are known, and these nearly always preferentially bind hydrophobic anions. In this work, we report three robust hexa-cationic cages that can be prepared on scales up to 14 g in two simple and high-yielding steps from commercially-available materials. One of these cages displays unusually strong sulfate binding in water (Ka = 12,000 M–1), and demonstrates high selectivity for this anion over H2PO4–/HPO42– in DMSO/buffer mixtures. These results demonstrate that relatively large, three-dimensional supramolecular hosts can be prepared in high yields and on large scales, and can be highly potent receptors.

Designing compounds with a range of desirable properties is a fundamental challenge in drug discovery. In pre-clinical early drug discovery, novel compounds are often designed based on an already existing promising starting compound through structural modifications for further property optimization. Recently, transformer-based deep learning models have been explored for the task of molecular optimization by training on pairs of similar molecules. This provides a starting point for generating similar molecules to a given input molecule, but has limited flexibility regarding user-defined property profiles. Here, we evaluate the effect of reinforcement learning on transformer-based molecular generative models. The generative model can be considered as a pre-trained model with knowledge of the chemical space close to an input compound, while reinforcement learning can be viewed as a tuning phase, steering the model towards chemical space with user-specific desirable properties. The evaluation of two distinct tasks - molecular optimization and scaffold discovery - suggest that reinforcement learning could guide the transformer-based generative model towards the generation of more compounds of interest. Additionally, the impact of pre-trained models, learning steps and learning rates are investigated. Scientific Contribution: Our study investigates the effect of reinforcement learning on a transformer-based generative model initially trained for generating molecules similar to starting molecules. The reinforcement learning framework is applied to facilitate multiparameter optimisation of starting molecules. This approach allows for more flexibility for optimizing user-specific property profiles and helps finding more ideas of interest.

6,13-Diethynylpentacene derivatives with sterically bulky substituents (Tr*, tris(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)methyl groups) appended to the ethynyl moieties at the 6- and 13-positions have been synthesized, as well as derivatives with electron withdrawing fluorine groups on the eight pro-cata positions. These molecules are designed to investigate relationships between steric and electronic effects on the stability of pentacene toward endoperoxide formation via reaction with photosensitized oxygen in solution under conditions of ambient light (i.e., ‘laboratory’ conditions). It is evident from the study that stabilization through changes to the electronic characteristics of pentacene are more effective than the incorporation of sterically bulky groups at the acetylenic termini. Selected pentacene derivatives have been made into binary, amorphous films with the fullerene derivative PCBM to investigate the stability imparted by substituents against cycloaddition reactions. Overall, the introduction of steric protection through incorporation of Tr* groups is not an efficient strategy for enhancing persistence of pentacenes. Stabilization through fluorination proves successful for extending the lifetime of the pentacene derivatives by an order of magnitude in solution. Notably, the persistence of pentacene derivatives in solution can also be enhanced through the use ethereal solvents stabilized with butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) and/or an increased number of trialkylsilyl groups as substituents.

Despite superior transport properties, lack of mechanical flexibility is a major drawback of crystalline molecular semiconductors compared to their polymer analogues. Here we report single crystals of an organic semiconductor that are not only flexible but exhibit systematic tuning of bandgaps, fluorescence lifetime, and emission wavelengths upon elastically bending. Spatially resolved fluorescence lifetime imaging and confocal fluorescence microscopy reveal systematic trends in the lifetime decay across the bent crystal region along with shifts in the emission wavelength. From the outer arc to the inner arc of the bent crystal, a significant decrease in the lifetime of ~1.9 ns was observed, with a gradual bathochromic shift of ~10 nm in the emission wavelength. For the crystal having a bandgap of 2.73 eV, the directional stress arising from bending leads to molecular reorientation effects and variations in the extent of intermolecular interactions– which are correlated to the lowering of bandgap and the evolution of the projected density of states. The systematic changes in the interactions quantified using electron density topological analysis in the compressed inner arc and elongated outer arc region are correlated to the non-radiative decay processes, thus rationalizing the tuning of fluorescence lifetime. Such mechanical tuning of band gaps and photophysical properties may pave the way to innovative technologies in the micro-fabrication of flexible organic functional materials such as semiconductors and organic light-emitting diodes.
