Capacity Building and Market Intervention for Refugees: A Study of Current and Future Direction towards Sustainable Refugee Management
Authors: Fauzan Fauzan , Helmi Helmi , Harza Zulkifli , Oktavia Sri
Published: August 2020

The number of refugees has increased for a decade leading to seek an alternative approach to managing refugees globally. This research will explore the current management of refugees and future direction towards sustainably managing refugees. While the UNHCR has a role in particularly resettling refugees to developed countries, states also have the authority to integrate refugees with local people under the Refugee Convention in 1951. The methodology used is a quantitative study through a statistical descriptive analysis from secondary sources and literature reviews. The result shows that states are reluctant to have a new arrival of refugees into their territories, while the UNHCR currently faces difficulties in resettling refugees to third countries. As a result, refugees are waiting with uncertainty and without livelihood opportunities in transiting countries. In regards to this issue, it seems necessary to have a capacity building and market intervention for the future direction of sustainable refugee management through a partnership with private sectors under the SDGs and other global agenda. These will equip refugees with skill development to enhance self-reliance as well as labor opportunities entering the future market places.

Published: August 2020

Indonesia yang berada di bawah garis katulistiwa, memiliki keunggulan yang sangat luar biasa, satu diantaranya adalah memiliki potensi energi matahari yang tinggi. Dengan paparan sinar matahari tinggi sepanjang tahun, Indonesia berpotensi menggunakannya untuk menghasilkan energi listrik. Wilayah terpencil yang belum terjangkau jaringan listrik dapat menggunakan panel surya sebagai alternatif untuk menghasilkan energi untuk penerangan dan kegiatan lainnya.Kurang lebih 173 triliun kilowatt energi diterima melalui bagian atas atmosfer: 30 % direfleksikan kembali, 47% diserap oleh molekul-molekul di atmosfer, diubah panjang gelombangnya kemudian diradiasikan kembali sebagai radiasi infra-merah; dan sisanya 23% sebagai besar dirubah melalui proses gerakan thermo-chemo-dinamik di permukaan bumi, seperti angin, arus laut, dan juga proses penguapan dan fotosintesis dan lain sebagainya. Energi hasil fotosintesis pada umumnya disimpan dalam bentuk tumbuhan yang kemudian dalam proses alam sebagian berubah menjadi fosil karbon, seperti batu bara, minyak, dan gas alam.Energi surya melalui konversi dimanfaatkan menjadi energi listrik, yang diperoleh dengan sistem fotovoltaik (pembangkit Listrik Tenaga Surya). Pembangkit listrik tenaga surya diarahkan agar dapat dimanfaatkan oleh para penduduk di Pulau Tegal yang masih belum dijangkau oleh jaringan PLN.Dalam penelitian ini, akan dikupas rancang bangun dan aktifitas terhadap implementasi Solar Cell yang merupakan CSR dari PT Bukit Asam, Tbk di salah satu pulau terpencil, yaitu Pulau Tegal, kabupaten Pesawaran, Lampung.
O aprendizado de outras línguas e sua importância
Authors: Nopes Felipe de Queiroz
Published: August 2020

A conferência se inspira na fala da escritora Chimamanda Adichie, intitulada O perigo de uma única história, e no conceito de “local” da escritora Taiye Selasi para abordar a importância de se aprender outras línguas, visto que são elas, entre outros motivos, que fazem com que o indivíduo se sinta um local, já que o conceito de país é uma criação, mas toda experiência é real e local. Para retratar o papel das línguas na construção/coesão nacional, a primeira autora menciona a Suíça, país multilíngue que possui quatro línguas nacionais, sendo duas majoritárias que disputam, entre si, o papel de primeira língua estrangeira obrigatória a ser ensinada na escola, juntamente com o inglês. A discussão também destaca o papel do multilinguismo na promoção e manutenção de uma ecologia de línguas, finalizando com a segunda autora apresentando uma proposta concreta nesse sentido: a criação da Associação Iberoamericana de Linguística Aplicada (AIALA).

Evaluating the “Darkness” of Melanin Materials.
Authors: Vercruysse Koen
Published: August 2020

We developed a mathematical process to quantify the apparent darkness of solutions containing melanin-like materials. The visible portion of their UV-Vis spectra is model using an exponential equation. Linear regression analysis provides the constants that define this exponential equation. Using these constants, the exponential equation is integrated between 400nm to 900nm to obtain the area-under-the-curve (AUC) of the visible portion of the UV-Vis spectra. This process was applied to data collected from various melanin-like materials discussed in earlier reports. By comparing the AUC values of different samples one can readily compare the “darkness” of melanins and evaluate the impact varying reaction conditions may have on this physical property. We revisited the results of earlier reports and discuss additional points related to the UV-protective properties attributed to melanins.

Published: August 2020

It is generally accepted that per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) occur primarily in protein-rich tissues such as blood and liver, but few studies have examined the occurrence of PFASs (in particular emerging PFASs), in lipid-rich tissues such as blubber. Here we report the distribution of 24 PFASs, total fluorine (TF) and extractable organic fluorine (EOF) in eight different tissues of a killer whale (Orcinus orca) from East Greenland. The sum of target PFAS concentrations was highest in liver (352 ng/g ww) and decreased in the order blood > kidney ≈ lung ≈ ovary > skin ≈ muscle ≈ blubber. Most of the EOF was made up of known PFASs in all tissues except blubber, which displayed the highest concentration of EOF, almost none of which was attributed to targeted PFASs. Suspect screening using high-resolution mass spectrometry revealed the presence of additional PFASs but the magnitude of peak areas could not explain the high concentrations of EOF in blubber. While the identity of this unknown organofluorine and its pervasiveness in marine mammals requires further investigation, this work suggests that exposure of killer whales to organofluorine substances may be underestimated by determination of legacy PFASs exclusively in liver tissues.

Authors: Ghiringhelli Francesca , van Gemmeren Manuel
Published: August 2020

In this study we report the identification of a novel class of ligands for palladium-catalyzed C(sp3)–H activation that enables the direct alkynylation of free carboxylic acid substrates. In contrast to previous synthetic methods no introduction/removal of an exogenous directing group is required. A broad scope of acids including both α-quaternary and challenging α-non-quaternary can be used as substrates. Additionally, the alkynylation in the distal γ-position is reported. Finally, this study encompasses preliminary findings on an enantioselective variant of the title transformation as well as synthetic applications of the products obtained.

Increasing number of human diseases have been shown to be linked to aggregation and amyloid formation by intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). Amylin, amyloid-β, and α-synuclein are, indeed, involved in type-II diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, respectively. Despite the correlation of the toxicity of these proteins at early aggregation stages with membrane damage, the molecular events underlying the process is quite complex to understand. In this study, we demonstrate the crucial role of free lipids in the formation of lipid-protein complex, which enables an easy membrane insertion for amylin, amyloid-β, and α-synuclein. Experimental results from a variety of biophysical methods and molecular dynamics results reveal this common molecular pathway in membrane poration is shared by amyloidogenic (amylin, amyloid-β, and α-synuclein) and non-amyloidogenic (rat IAPP, β-synuclein) proteins. Based on these results, we propose a “lipid-chaperone” hypothesis as a unifying framework for protein-membrane poration.

Published: August 2020

With rising consumer demands, society is tapping into wastewater as an innovative source to recycle depleting resources. Novel reclamation technologies have been recently explored for this purpose, including several that optimize natural biological processes for targeted reclamation. However, this emerging field has a noticeable dearth of synthetic material technologies that are programmed to capture, release and recycle specified targets, and of the novel materials that do exist, synthetic platforms incorporating biologically inspired mechanisms are rare. We present here a prototype of a materials platform utilizing peptide amphiphiles that has been molecularly engineered to sequester, release, and reclaim phosphate utilizing a stimuli-responsive pH trigger, exploiting a protein-inspired binding mechanism that is incorporated directly into the self-assembled material network. This material is able to sequester completely and controllably release phosphate for multiple cycles of reuse. We have determined by simulations that the binding conformation of the peptide becomes constrained in the dense micelle corona at high pH such that phosphate is expelled when it otherwise would be preferentially bound. However, at neutral pH, this dense structure conversely employs multi-chain binding to further stabilize phosphate when it would otherwise be unbound, opening opportunities for higher-order conformational binding design to be engineered into this controllably packed corona. With this work, we are pioneering a new platform to be readily altered to capture other valuable targets, presenting a new class of capture and release materials for recycling resources on the nanoscale.

The development of submergence tolerant rice varieties is urgently required to maintain the stability of future food production, to anticipate the unpredictable global climate changes. Due to in-economical agronomic traits of native submergence tolerant varieties for large scale cultivation, submergence tolerance gene (sub1) must be introduced into popular high-yielding rice variety, such as Ciherang. To develop new submergence tolerant variety with good agronomic traits as those of Ciherang, in this research, submergence tolerance gene (sub1) was introduced into Ciherang variety. To avoid strict GMO regulation, gene introduction was carried out through site-directed crossing. Donor sub1 was crossed with Ciherang host. The selected F1 progenies were further backcrossed to Ciherang 4 x to obtain BC5F1 progeny having ~98% agronomic traits of those of Ciherang. In every cross/backcross generation, submergence test was performed, followed by sub1 marker-assisted PCR. F1 and BC1F1 submergence-tolerant Ciherang were successfully constructed. Co-dominant RM464A marker was not able to discriminate between host, donor, and progenies (F1 and BC1). Co-dominant RM219 maker showed slightly different size between donor and host amplicon, but it was difficult to see their heterozygous progenies. Both C173 and AEX1 dominant markers were able to show sub1 introgression from donor to host. PCR results confirmed that progenies-submergence tolerance was due to sub1 introgression, not escape mechanisms. AEX1 was chosen for subsequent experiments. Backcross until BC5 is in progress, to obtain maximum host retention for engineering new submergence tolerant varieties with good agronomic traits as those of Ciherang.

Published: August 2020

DNA barcoding has become a useful tool for identifying and confirming of species within a known taxonomic framework. A large-scale effort is underway to barcode all amphibian species using the universally sequenced DNA region, a partial fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). This study was aimed to use DNA barcoding technique to identify and confirm species of Polypedates leucomystax and to analyze their phylogenetic relationship. Samples of Polypedates leucomystax were collected from Campus Area of Bogor Agricultural University. The cytochrome oxidase I gene of 600-700 nucleotides were amplified and observed in agarose gel electrophoresis. Forward sequence (604 base pairs) of COI gene was used for phylogenetic analyses. BLAST analysis against BOLD System database showed 95.75% identity with sequences of Polypedates leucomystax. The pairwise genetic distances of Polypedates leucomystax with Rhacophorus schlegelii, Limnonectes fujianensis, Fejervarya cancrivora, and Bufo melanostictus were 0.274, 0.352, 0.339, 0.339, 0.393, respectively. These results illustrated that the genetic identification is congruence with the morphological identification. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the samples were in one clade with other tree frogs. The DNA barcoding technique based on the sequence of COI gene can therefore be used to identify and confirm species of Polypedates leucomystax.

Los resultados indicaron que 65.5% de los productores que se entrevistaron utilizaron el sistema convencional para la producción de maíz de temporal y aunque se ubicaron en zonas de vocación agrícola, se identificaron diferencias en tecnificación y socioeconómicas. El otro 34.5% de productores utilizan labranza mínima y se ubicaron en zonas de vocación pecuaria. A pesar que el índice de aptitud agrícola sustentable ubicó 71% de los productores dentro de la categoría moderada, es necesario implementar estrategias para minimizar la extracción de los nutrientes en el suelo ya que los productores retribuyen muy poco al aplicar dosis por debajo de lo recomendado. En el indicador de mineralización potencial anaerobia del nitrógeno asociado con la fertilidad del suelo se obtuvo valores negativos en los dos grupos de suelo predominantes Leptosoles con -14.7 y Vertisoles con -27.9.

Introduction

Excessive adipose tissue is associated with adverse metabolic effects and is an important risk factor for chronic diseases. According to the American Heart Association, most cardiovascular events can be prevented by adhering to healthy practices, reflecting cardiovascular health as poor, intermediate, and good.

Objective

To evaluate the effect of weight loss on vascular function, metabolic profile and inflammatory markers of obese subjects with poor cardiovascular health.

Methods

Obese individuals, both sexes, aged 40–70 years, will be instructed to follow a hypocaloric diet (−800 Kcal/day) for 16 weeks. Before and after intervention, participants will undergo clinical, nutritional (anthropometry and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry), biochemical, vascular and sleep evaluation. Patients will be submitted to sympathetic tone assessment using a frequency meter Polar® RS800 (Polar Electro OY, Kempele, Finland), oscillometric pulse wave analysis by Mobil-O-Graph® (IEM, Stolberg, Germany), post-occlusive microvascular reactivity by laser speckle contrast imaging, carotid ultrasound and degree of obstructive sleep apnea through the home polysomnography device (WatchPAT 200®). Serum levels of leptin, adiponectin, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and C-reactive protein will be determined. Participants will be stratified in two groups according to cardiovascular health (poor vs. intermediate/ideal). Cardiovascular health is said to be ideal by the presence of optimal health behaviors (non-smokers, adequate body mass index, physical activity level and healthy eating pattern) and health factors (blood pressure, total cholesterol and blood glucose). Ideal cardiovascular health is considered for those with five or more metrics within this qualification, intermediate for presence of three or four metrics and poor for two or less metrics.
A "foto roubada” - mídias, visibilidade e cidadania da imigração haitiana no Brasil
Authors: Cogo Denise , Pássaro Matheus
Published: August 2020

O artigo analisa as relações entre produção de

imagens, visibilidade midiática e cidadania da

imigração haitiana no Brasil. Coletamos em espaços

da internet e analisamos os posicionamentos e

as disputas em torno de um episódio específico

envolvendo a produção e publicação “não

consentida” da foto de um imigrante haitiano pelos

jornais Agora e Folha de S. Paulo. Orientados

teoricamente pelas noções de imagem, visibilidade

e cidadania, os resultados obtidos problematizam

as relações entre estética e política na ordem de

visualidades das migrações contemporâneas e os

impactos de uma visibilidade midiática compulsória,

a qual destitui de agência os imigrantes e

descontextualiza os processos migratórios.
Entre a realidade jornalística e a realidade social: o jornalismo como forma de acesso ao cotidiano
Authors: Tavares Frederico de Mello Brandão
Published: August 2020

O artigo propõe considerar reportagens sobre transtornos mentais publicadas em revistas semanais brasileiras, nos últimos 15 anos, como peças publicitárias para estimular o consumo de edicamentos, especificamente, de antidepressivos. Investiga, então, o nexo entre consumo e subjetividade contemporânea pelo estudo das estratégias retóricas que permitem ao indivíduo se conceber como um

possível doente e, assim, consumidor de medicamentos.

Duas estratégias são enfatizadas. Uma contorna o estigma associado à doença mental por separar o sofrimento da moral; a outra analisa o uso de testes como modo de gerar uma incerteza no indivíduo sobre a normalidade de seus estados mentais.

Resenha do livro “Música independente no século XXI: percalços, conquistas e desafios”, organizado por Micael Herschmann. Trata-se de uma coletânea de artigos de renomados pesquisadores da Europa, dos Estados Unidos e do Brasil, que repensam continuidades e rupturas na indústria da música, apontando estratégias dos atores que têm ressignificado a palavra independente. Sem partir de uma visão deslumbrada ou nostálgica a respeito das transformações pelas quais a indústria da música passa, a obra compõe um panorama analítico das complexas relações que se estabelecem entre músicos, consumidores e mercado.
Sobre a possibilidade de escutar o Outro: voz, world music, interculturalidade
Authors: Pereira Simone Luci
Published: August 2020

Partindo de uma inquietação suscitada pela leitura de um texto de Roland Barthes de 1968 – em que afirmava que a voz é o que está realmente em jogo na modernidade – este texto faz uma discussão conceitual sobre a escuta midiática na era global. Abordando também o conceito de world music, discutimos a escuta como forma de consumo cultural que pode possibilitar o conhecimento do Outro, do diferente, mediado pela técnica nas canções midiáticas, num momento em que fluxos globais e locais se acham em confronto e negociação, configurando espaços interculturais. Neste contexto, a voz e a escuta midiática adquirem papel de destaque num mundo em que identidades e sentidos de pertencimento se encontram em reconstrução constante. Uma escuta que põe em jogo novas articulações entre próprio/estrangeiro, local/global, em que “escutar é escutar-se” (Barthes).

Meio, mediação, agência: a descoberta dos objetos em Walter Benjamin e Bruno Latour
Authors: Felinto Erick
Published: August 2020

Não obstante a originalidade das proposições de Bruno Latour, seria equivocado dizer que sua obra foi gestada em um vácuo teórico. As influências de pensadores como Étienne Souriau, Gilbert Simondon e Gabriel Tarde, por exemplo, foram dissecadas cuidadosamente pela crítica. O objetivo deste trabalho é esboçar convergências importantes entre o pensamento de Latour e certas ideias de Walter Benjamin, expressas de forma mais incisiva em alguns textos de juventude. Através dessa aproximação, já ensaiada anteriormente por alguns autores, pretende-se dar início a uma exploração filosófica dos conceitos de agência, meio e mediação – fundamentais para a reflexão comunicacional, especialmente no contexto contemporâneo.

You Are Ok Because I Am Ok: Religion: Idol of Divinity as an Agent of In-group and Out-group Feel
Authors: Shibli Naveed
Published: August 2020

Present study presents
an inbuilt idol of divinity among humans that is related with religion and discusses
that how it plays a role in the development of an in-group and out group feel
among us? To explain an assumed human interaction between persons belonging to
an old religion Judaism and ancient religion Hinduism with reference to a Hindu
religious concept ‘Karma’ and psychological construct “ambivalence” discussed
to highlight the inbuilt idol of divinity. A brief survey finding also supported
the proposition about in-group and out-group assumptions. More studies would
develop further.
Kasih Sejati: Memahami Misi Secara Teks, Konteks, dan Komunitas Berdasarkan Yohanes 17:18 Pada PTT/AK
Authors: Karlau Sensius Amon
Published: August 2020

Abstract:The existence of God is in essence impossible to shift, but, in fact seems to experience a shift that appears in human efforts to respond to the mission call. Efforts to "narrow" the meaning, purpose and impact of understanding the "true love and mission" for His people here are in contrast to God's love that cannot be separated from His essence. God himself wants His love to be part of His ransom people, so this is where "mission" becomes the logical implication of God's existence as a mission initiator that has been, is being, and continues to be done through His chosen people in every age in (community). The author used qualitative method with text and language analysis approaches. Based on research results in the "text" it can be understood that God's love enables Him to send His only begotten Son to fulfill His mission. Then in His grace; The Son continues the Father's mandate to disciples to become a "community" sharing the love of God the Father. This task is then passed on to the present generation specifically for graduates of Theological/Christian Religious College.Key Words: True Love, Text, Context, CommunityAbstrak:Eksistensi Allah pada hakikatnya tidak mungkin bergeser, namun, pada kenyataannya terkesan mengalami pergeseran yang nampak dalam upaya manusia meresponi panggilan missions. Upaya “menyempitkan” makna, tujuan dan dampak dari pemahaman akan “kasih sejati dan misi” bagi umat-Nya disini bertolak belakang dengan kasih Allah yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan hakikat-Nya. Allah sendiri menginginkan agar kasih-Nya menjadi bagian dari umat tebusan-Nya”, maka disinilah hal “misi” menjadi implikasi logis dari eksistensi Allah sebagai Inisiator misi yang telah, sedang, dan terus dikerjakan melalui orang-orang pilihan-Nya pada setiap zamannya dalam (komunitas). Penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif (Qualitative Research) dengan pendekatatan analisis teks dan Bahasa. Berdasarkan hasil kajian secara “teks” dapat dipahami bahwa kasih Allah memungkinkan Dia mengutus Anak-Nya yang tunggal untuk menggenapi misi-Nya. Kemudian dalam anugerah-Nya; Sang Anak meneruskan mandat Allah Bapa itu kepada para murid untuk menjadi satu “komunitas” pembagi kasih Allah Bapa. Tugas inilah yang kemudian diteruskan pada generasi masa kini secara khusus bagi lulusan Perguruan Tinggi Teologi / Agama Kristen.

Synthesis and Characterization of CuO-ZnO Nano Additive for Lubricant
Authors: Shrestha Buddha Kumar , Trital Hira Mani , Rajbhandari Armila
Published: August 2020

A mixed metal oxide (CuO-ZnO) additives has been successfully synthesized in laboratory by co-precipitation technique. The optimum ratio of CuO and ZnO in mixed metal oxide was found to be 1:1. The sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) has been used as surfactant. The obtained material was found to be crystalline having crystalline size of 18 nm. The stretching band in FTIR spectra at around 1072 cm-1 to 750 cm-1 and around 600 cm-1 indicates the presence of Zn-O and Cu-O bonds. As prepared nano-particles have been used as nano additive in base oil to improve physio-chemical parameters of lubricants. The results revealed that the additive blended base oil (lubricant) has shown excellent lubrication properties. The higher kinematic viscosity of 33.0504 and 6.0158 at 40°C and 100°C respectively showed that as prepared additive blended lubricant is of ISO-32 category according to ISO grading system for lubricants. Similarly, viscosity index was found to be improved from 101 to 129. The pour point was found to be significantly decreased from -6°C to -24°C. So it can be used as good pour point depressant and could be used even in the extreme cold environment condition. The flash point was found to be increased from 215°C to 220°C indicating that the prepared mixed metal oxide (CuO-ZnO) acts as flash point enhancer. The copper strip corrosion rating was found to be 1b for additive indicating the non corrosive nature. The absence of moisture and pH around the neutral range 6.18 showed the additive blended lubricant is not harmful for machinery devices.
