Putusan WTO DSB Panel dan Imbalance of Power Pada Negara WTO
Authors: Luthfiah Nyimas Sheila , Oppusunggu Yu Un
Published: June 2024

Liberalisasi ekonomi, mudahnya akses masuk pasar dan perdagangan yang bebas merupakan salah satu tujuan dari World Trade Organization (WTO). Perdagangan yang bebas dan teratur dapat dicapai dengan adanya WTO sebagai organisasi perdagangan internasional. Akan tetapi aktivitas perdagangan internasional berpotensi menghasilkan perselisihan. WTO hadir tidak hanya sebagai organisasi perdagangan internasional tetapi juga menjadi pilihan forum dalam penyelesaian sengketa dagang internasional. Mekanisme penyelesaian sengketa melalui WTO menggunakan Dispute Settlement Understanding (DSU) yang memuat aturan-aturan penyelesaian sengketa. Putusan WTO disahkan melalui Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) dan mengikat pihak yang bersengketa. Akan tetapi ketidakpatuhan dapat muncul dalam implementasi tersebut. Terlebih jika sengketa melibatkan negara berkembang yang cenderung memiliki posisi lemah dalam hubungan internasional.

Aim: The present study assessed the potential of Moringa oleifera and Bacopa monnieri leaf extracts in amelioration of Cr (VI) induced oxidative stress in Drosophila melanogaster. Methodology: The 96 hr lethal dose (LD50) of chromium was determined by exposing flies to varied doses (10, 20, 30,40,50,60 mg kg-1) of Cr (VI) through diet. Later, flies were exposed to 0, 30 and 50 mg kg-1 of Cr and treated with leaf extracts to evaluate their alleviating effect on lipid peroxidation, catalase and glutathione-S-transferase. In silico studies analyzed the binding pattern of potential bioactive compounds in leaf extracts to the proposed target proteins. Results: LD50 was 50 mg kg-1 obtained through. The lipid peroxidation increased 2 folds with increase in Cr (VI), however, on treatment concentration with leaf extracts it decreased 1.5 times. While glutathione-s-transferase activity was reduced by 50% in Cr (VI) treated flies, the activity significantly increased by 66% and 76% after treatment with Bacopa and Moringa leaf extracts. Catalase activity showed 50% decrease in the flies treated with Cr (VI), while combined treatment of Cr (VI) and leaf extracts showed a significant increase (1.5 times) in catalase activity suggesting recovery. Molecular docking studies on the active phytochemicals of leaf extracts demonstrated their antioxidant potential on par with taurine (ligand), a known antioxidant. Interpretation: The leaf extracts significantly alleviated the Cr (VI) induced oxidative stress, promising a natural therapy to overcome the harmful effects of Cr (VI) exposure in life forms.

Aim: The present study was performed to find association of morphological traits with kernel phytic acid. Methodology: A set of 20 qualitative phenotypic observations were studied in 29 diverse germplasms and two F2 populations. Further correlated traits were quantitatively verified for their correlation and heritability. Results: Maize kernels characterized by low phytate content correlated with reduced seed density traits. Further insights from scanning electron microscopic studies revealed alterations in the distribution pattern of starch granules, among low and high phytate genotypes. Heritability studies indicated a strong heritable nature of the traits viz., kernel density, inorganic phosphorous and phytic acid, and were found to be inter correlated. Interpretation: Intercorrelation and heritable nature of the trait is viewed as a ‘risk index’ that directly influences the success of genetic selection for the phytic acid trait which is highly complex and involves more laboratory experimentation. The selected genotypes may be further screened using biochemical analysis for confirmation. Key words: Correlation, F2 population, Germplasm, Kernel density, Maize, Phytic acid

Aim: The present study investigated the relationship between avian ecological guilds and water quality parameters at three selected village ponds (namely Pond A, B and C) falling in the central plain agroclimatic zone of Punjab State. Methodology: During the monsoon season (July-October 2022), bird populations and habitat utilization were assessed using point count/line transect methods. Water quality parameters were measured following the standard methods of APHA (2023). Results: Twenty-eight bird species comprising of 7 orders and 15 families were identified, representing 12 trophic guilds, 4 habitat guilds and 5 substrate guilds. Pond B showed the best water quality, harbored the most semi-aquatic/aquatic species (9) and highest trophic diversity. Conversely, Pond C revealed the poorest water quality and had the lowest number of aquatic species. Interpretation: Water quality in ponds seemed to play a crucial role in shaping avian community composition and ecological roles. This study underscores the importance of maintaining good water quality in ponds interspersed in an agroecosystem for the diversity of ecological guilds. Study findings have the potential to be extrapolated to thousands of ponds in the Indian agricultural landscape, thereby having far reaching ecological implications.

Authors: Yuandry Syafrina , Irdawati Irdawati
Published: June 2024

Indonesia merupakan salah satu negara yang memiliki potensi yang besar didalam sektor pertanian dan perkebunan, salah satu jenis tanaman yang saat ini dijadikan sebagai komoditas perkebunan yaitu kelapa sawit. Kelapa sawit merupakan salah satu komoditas perkebunan dan industri sebagai penghasil berbagai minyak seperti minyak industri,  minyak masak, serta minyak bahan bakar atau biodiesel. Proses produksi nya dimulai dengan melakukan buah kelapa sawit sampai berubah menjadi Crude Palm Oil (CPO) atau minyak kelapa sawit. Salah satu parameter utama dalam menentukan kualitas dari CPO adalah kadar free fatty acid (FFA) yang terkandung didalam nya. FFA merupakan asam yang di bebaskan pada hidrolisa dari lemak yang ada pada kelapa sawit. Peningkatan kandungan FFA pada minyak kelapa sawit disebabkan oleh berbagai faktor salah satunya yaitu terjadinya kerusakan morfologi dan mikroorganisme pada buah kelapa sawit. Semakin tinggi presentase kandungan FFA pada CPO maka semakin rendah pula kualitas CPO tersebut, hal ini karena kadar FFA dapat menyebabkan banyak perubahan pada CPO.
 yaitu dapat menyebabkan ketengikan, perubahan rasa pada minyak, serta warna pada minyak yang dihasilkan. Selain itu tingginya kadar FFA didalam minyak kelapa sawit juga dapat menyebabkan menurunnya nilai jual pada CPO sehingga akan mengakibatkan kerugian perusahaan.

Objective To explore if oral insulin could delay onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) among stage 1/2 patients who carry HLA DR4-DQ8 and/or have elevated levels of IA-2 autoantibodies (IA-2A).

Research and methods Next generation targeted sequencing technology was used to genotype eight HLA class II genes (DQA1, DQB1, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DPA1, and DPB1) in 546 participants in the TrialNet oral insulin preventative trial (TN07). Baseline levels of autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA), and IA-2A were determined prior to treatment assignment. Available clinical and demographic covariables from TN07 were used in this post-hoc analysis with the Cox regression model to quantify the preventative efficacy of oral insulin .

Results 1) Oral insulin was found to reduce the frequency of T1D onset among participants with elevated IA-2A levels (HR=0.62, p=0.012), but had no preventive effect among those with low IA-2A levels (HR=1.03, p=0.91). 2) High IA-2A levels were found to be positively associated with the HLA DR4-DQ8 (OR=1.63, p=6.37*10-6) haplotype and negatively associated with the HLA DR7-containing DRB1*07:01-DRB4*01:01-DQA1*02:01-DQB1*02:02 (OR=0.49, p=0.037) extended haplotype. 3) Among DR4-DQ8 carriers, oral insulin delayed the progression towards stage 3 T1D onset (HR=0.59, p=0.027), especially if participants also had high IA-2A levels (HR=0.50, p=0.028).

Conclusions These results suggest the presence of a T1D endotype characterized by HLA DR4-DQ8 and/or elevated IA-2A levels, and, for those stage 1/2 patients with such an endotype, oral insulin is found to delaythe clinical T1D onset.

İKTİSATTA ORTODOKSİ SORUNU
Authors: Akansel İlkben
Published: June 2024

İktisadi olaylara bakış açısı büyük çoğunlukla piyasa kavramını yüceltme çerçevesinde şekillenmiştir. Tarihsel olarak iktisadi düşünce yaklaşımları çok büyük çoğunlukla kâr elde etmeye odaklı olarak iktisadi olaylara yaklaşmışlardır. Bu durum sonucunda, özellikle 20. Yüzyılın başında şekillenen “neoklasik” iktisat olarak adlandırılan iktisadi düşünceyi ana-akım iktisat olarak ön plana çıkarmıştır. Ana-akım iktisat, iktisatta hâkim bir iktisadi görüş olarak ortodoks bir yer işgal etmektedir. Ortodoksi, en genel anlamıyla, herhangi bir düşüncedeki ana-akım olarak kabul edilen baskın olan durum olarak tanımlanabilir. İktisatta “neoklasik iktisat” ve türevleri olan tüm iktisadi yaklaşımlar ortodoks iktisat olarak adlandırılabilir. Heterodoksi ise, herhangi bir düşüncede ana-akımdan sapan fikirler olarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu bakımdan iktisatta tek seslilik mi çok seslilik mi olduğu sorunsalı çok uzun süredir bilimin tartışma gündemindedir. Bu bağlamda iktisattaki tek sesliliği/ana-akım iktisadı önceleyen çalışmalar bir ortodoksi yaklaşım olarak değerlendirilebilir ve düşünülebilir. Bu düşünceden hareketle bu çalışmada iktisatta ortodoksi sorununun kökenleri, tarihsel durumu ve buna karşı olarak geliştirilen heterodoksinin perspektifi (ve bu bağlamda değerlendirilebilecek iktisadi görüşlerin temel argümanları) irdelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Diğer bir deyişle, çalışmada önce ana-akım olarak adlandırılan neoklasik iktisadın neden bu tanımlamayla uzun süre anıldığını, ona karşı argümanlar üreten diğer iktisat akımlarının neden böyle konumlandırıldıkları tartışılacaktır.

Published: June 2024

This paper investigates APBT compression system for grayscale natural images to achieve a higher CR with preserving image quality by utilizing C321, DWT, BPS for MSV/LSV. The APBT efficiently improves the performances compared to TPBT, by overcoming the inherited problems related to modeling parts (deterministic /probabilistic), due to utilizing image data redundancy(s) successfully, where the deterministic part (Mn, dx) reduced by over 400 bytes, and probabilistic part (Rs) reduced by more than 5000 bytes on average. So the required size in bytes has been reduced by nearly 50% compared to TPBT, in which the CR increased twice the traditional one on average, with higher quality by 5 dB more compared to the TPBT.

Many Western and economically developed countries have already incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI) into their newsrooms. As the media industry is constantly addressing new technological advancements, media scholars are highly confident about the combination of AI and the newsroom. This research investigates AI as a new prospect in the Bangladeshi journalism arena, focusing on the current state of AI usage and projecting the future by evaluating professional journalists’ ‘Mental Readiness’ across a variety of media companies. In the first phase, from the survey of 107 working journalists from 20 different news organisations, this study finds that journalists possess a mostly positive attitude towards AI and are willing to incorporate current technologies in their newsrooms. The majority of journalists are informed, yet many of them lack sufficient AI literacy. In the second part, in-depth interviews with five newsroom editors reveal that it is difficult for Bangladesh to make a significant transformation within a short period. Most of them believe that providing AI-enabled newsrooms in a developing country like Bangladesh is still a long shot, owing to economic and technological constraints.

Maize is one of the most consumed cereal crops worldwide, and it is a strategic crop to the attainment of SDG 2 of Zero hunger. Despite its importance, the cultivation of maize has been significantly impaired by fungal pathogens causing foliar diseases. The occurrence of this disease in maize plantations at the Research Farm of the North-West University, Molelwane, Mafikeng, South Africa prompted this investigation. Samples of diseased maize rhizosphere soil were aseptically collected. Bacteria species associated with the rhizosphere were isolated and characterized as Bacillus siamensis, Enterobacter asburiae, Enterobacter chengduensis, Priestia aryabhattai, Burkholderia sp., Priestia megaterium strain AOA6 and Priestia megaterium strain AOA7. The anti-fungicidal potentials of the bacterial species were evaluated against pathogenic fungal species, Nigrospora sphaerica, Alternaria alternata and Fusarium equiseti in-vitro. The percentage mycelia growths were calculated and the data were subjected to ANOVA using SAS version 9.8. All the seven bacteria isolates tested positive to ammonia production, phosphate solubilization, siderophore production and ACC deaminase tests. The percentage mycelia inhibition showed Nigrospora sphaerica (36.29%), A. alternata (26.19%) and F. equiseti (20.63%) as the order of fungal inhibition by the bacteria species. Furthermore, E. asburiae > P. megatarium strain AOA7 > B. siamensis > P. aryabhattai > E. chengduensis > Bulkholderia sp. were the order of antifungal efficacy of the bacteria species evaluated. In conclusion, the efficacy of the bacteria especially E. asburiae, P. megatarium strain AOA7 and B. siamensis over various fungal pathogens. The result obtained, therefore, justifies the further investigation, formulation and deployment of the bacteria species as biofungicide in the management of foliar diseases of maize.
Keywords: antifungicidal potential, biofungicide, microbial formulations, rhizosphere, zero hunger.

Analysis of Suspended Marriages from The Perspective of Human Rights and Child Protection Laws
Authors: Zinqi Navila , Fakhruddin Aziz
Published: June 2024

Early marriage by minors becomes a problem in many countries including Indonesia, with economical, educational and customary factors being the main reasons. In some areas in Indonesia where customs are still closely held, the practice of suspended marriages is very common. Suspended marriage is a condition where marriage is carried out when each partner is very young with a specific purpose and both are prohibited from living together in the same house before adulthood. This article aims to examine suspended marriage in human rights’ perspective and child protection law’s using normative research techniques by reviewing and deepening literature studies. The results of this study indicate that suspended marriages are included in the marriage of minors which is an act categorized as violating human rights because child marriage affects the education and growth of children and is a form of opposition to the Child Protection Law, the practice of early marriage and suspended marriages often occur in Indonesia even though the law has expressly prohibited doing so.

Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) were used in various application, including in mortar production. The ability of SAP to absorb a high amount of water made this material become a promising water reservoir in the mortar that can later mitigate micro-cracks in concrete. Besides SAP, a nutrient must be embedded into self-healing mortar to support metabolism in bacteria-based self-healing mortar. However, adding SAP and nutrient was reported to decrease the mechanical properties of the resulting self-healing mortar. Thus, in this research, the modification in the mix design of mortar containing SAP and nutrient were observed. The water to cement ratio was decreased up to 0.3. The amount of SAP and entrained water added is based on its swelling capacity. The swelling capacity of SAP, the workability of fresh mortar, and the compressive strength of mortar were examined. The results show that the swelling capacity of SAP was affected by the pH and the presence of calcium ions in the solution. The higher the pH and the calcium ion in the solution, the lower SAP’s swelling capacity. Applying the modified mortar mix design containing SAP and nutrient proofed to mitigate the reduction in workability and compressive strength of the resulting self-healing mortar.
Hereditary Ectodermal Dysplasia in Two Identical Siblings
Authors: Sarkar A. S. , Rao K. , Ajila V.
Published: June 2024

Primary defects in two or more ectodermally-derived tissues during embryonic development characterize ectodermal dysplasia, a vast, varied group of inherited illnesses. Skin, hair, nails, eccrine glands, and teeth are the primary tissues affected. Most cases of ectodermal dysplasia are caused by the X-linked recessive form of the disease (also known as Christ–Siemens–Touraine syndrome), which is passed down from female carriers to their male offspring. It is characterized by an absence of sweat glands (hypohidrosis or anhidrosis), malformed teeth (anodontia or hypodontia), and scant hair (atrichosis or hypotrichosis). Lack of teeth and unusual look were cited as major causes for alarm. The usual manifestations of hypohidrotic hereditary ectodermal dysplasia have been described in two case reports. Two identical siblings with possible typically X-linked recessive hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia are described here. Despite the lack of a cure, patients can benefit from a multidisciplinary approach to treatment planning and an expedient diagnosis.

The 3D printing is a technology of manufacturing that is now well known. Usually the part is obtain using layer-by-layer deposition and the main inconvenience of this process is that the deposition of material takes place in the plane (2D space) and then it is moved to the next plane by applying a constant increment on the third axis. The accuracy of the product is given by the increment value. The properties of the product, such as strength, also is given by the bond that is made between the layer and the density of the layers. Nowadays, it is proposed a new type of 3D printing using robotic arms. This approach give the possibility to work in 3D space and obtain a 3D defined deposition. It is believed that the properties of the part will be improved together with the mechanical properties of the part. In this article will be presented a comparative study that will indicate the positive and negative aspects of both conventional 3D printing and robotic printing.
Unleashing a Student’s River of Being: A Dialogic Exploration of Expanding Possibilities
Authors: Tobón Juan Pablo Yepes , Godfrey Phoebe
Published: June 2024

Sociology professor Phoebe Godfrey and her former student Juan Pablo Yepes Tobón, engage in boundary -crossing explorations of the relationship between the academy and spirituality — recognizing dialogue as intimate and animate, reflecting the character of spirituality. The purpose of education is posed as the cultivation of the students’ inner life. This entails nurturing intrinsic curiosity; encouraging cross -disciplinary, spiritual/ontological consideration; holding space for students to explore their “authentic Self”; and thusly helping the students to discover their “gifts”, which arise innately from this spiritual cultivation and flourishing.

This stands in stark opposition to the realities of the modern academy, which has predominantly assumed the patterns of the capitalist context within which it is embedded. The modern academy serves to produce a workforce and echoes positivist notions of “objective knowing”. Accordingly, a hierarchical model is assumed, along with an orientation toward grinding intrinsic curiosity out of students from a young age and into higher education. This at once supplants tendencies for “disruption” with an inclination to please authority figures, while predisposing students to forgo autonomous and experiential exploration in exchange for “handed -down” knowledge. Yet there is hope, as our dialogue illustrates, when students’ inner lives and spiritual autonomies are prioritized.
Between urban and rural: towards an understanding of metropolitan edge
Authors: López-Goyburu Patricia
Published: June 2024

The need to act on urban expansion has been a common concern throughout the history of urbanism. Different authors have shown how in industrialized countries the old distinctions between urban and rural become blurred. The location and conformation of new leisure, commercial and tertiary objects have become triggers for new looks at the urbanization edges of industrial cities. Although they have been less explored in non-industrial cities or cities with a lower degree of industrialization, different studies show that these characteristics seem to be combined there with other factors such as social housing, progressive expansion of the urban fabric and degraded areas. Nevertheless, could there be a theory that enlightens the conditions and transformations of the metropolitan edge and guides their research? The aim of this work is to compare four key approaches: spaces in socio-spatial transformation, multi-actor project, multiple, dynamic and heterogeneous uses, and non-universal spatial delimitation, focusing on three categories: concept, attribute, and methodology. This research is grounded in the selection of relevant publications based on their substantive scope, significant impact factor index, and/or number of citations, as well as the international recognition of researchers. These findings underscore the importance of theorizing the metropolitan edge as a process that transforms inherited spaces according to their socio-economic, historical, and environmental contexts. The results reflect the need for denominations and classifications that help us to differentiate analytically and cartographically the multiple landscapes of the metropolitan edge and question us about the specificity of this territory that extends between urban nuclei and rural space, the processes that have overlapped over time, and their logics.
The geography of individual charitable giving: do personal or regional characteristics matter?
Authors: Halada Marek , Ženka Jan , Kofroň Jan

Drawing on a highly detailed database of anonymized tax returns (N = 400,000) from Czechia (2008–2020), we aim to describe and explain regional patterns in individual giving. The key research question is to what extent regional differences are shaped by individual factors and to what extent by factors at the regional level, including regional economic performance and structure (industrial, ownership), position in the urban hierarchy, human and social capital, rurality, and political preferences. Czechia is a relatively small, developed, and ethnically homogeneous country, with a centralised tax system. Potential regional differences in individual giving are likely to be driven by particularities of economic structure and/or social capital. Hierarchical linear regression models with fixed effects were employed to distinguish the effects of these two groups of factors.
