Optimizing the Use of Social Media as a Brand Destination-based Promotional Media for Glagah Wangi Istambul Beach in Demak
Authors: Wulandari Cahyo
Published: October 2021

Glagah Wangi Istambul Beach is one of the new natural tourist destinations in the Demak Regency, experiencing rapid development. This beach's management is carried out directly by Tambakbulusan Village people through the Village-Owned Enterprises (Badan Usaha Milik Desa, BUMDes). Community-based tourism adopts as a village development strategy to establish independence and improve community well-being. Promotion is an essential part of the development of a tourist attraction, including Glagah Wangi Istambul Beach. Advertising through social media has become a good strategy in the digital era because the internet has reached the villages nowadays. However, through social media, promotional efforts have not been carried out optimally by Glagah Wangi Istambul Beach's tourism manager. The COVID-19 pandemic situation led to the KKN PPM or Student Community Services-Community Empowerment UGM online, which was previously done by going into the field and interacting directly with residents. This condition creates limitations in determining what programs we can implement. The KKN PPM UGM JT 314 team (2020) focuses on solving the lack of efforts to promote tourism objects in Glagah Wangi Istambul Beach through branding destinations to take advantage of social media. Team did the data collection through observation, literature study, and online interviews. An online survey was also conducted in a google form questionnaire for visitors to evaluate the Sapta Pesona (Seven Enchantments) implementation. The activities carried out to promote the beach in this program are the procurement of some competitions such as creating creative photos, Tambakbulusan Village profiles infographics, health protocol guide during the pandemic, website management, and tourist promotion destinations through online media. The result of service activities shows increased public awareness of social media's importance to promote tourism objects.
People on the Move: Addressing Vulnerabilities of Nomadic Communities in Darfur
Authors: Elzarov Zurab
Published: October 2021

Until recently, the needs and concerns of the Arab nomadic communities in Darfur were not given sufficient attention by the international community, probably because of the tendency to equate them with the notorious “Arab militia” accused of committing crimes during the conflict in Darfur. This began to change after several Arab nomad leaders complained to the United Nations and relief groups about their exclusion from humanitarian and development programmes and projects implemented in the region. The article explores the conditions and vulnerabilities of nomadic communities in Darfur and highlights some of the subsequent successful initiatives undertaken by the United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) to address the concerns of the nomadic community members.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Cortázar’s Phenomen(ologic)al Fictions
Authors: Parkinson Zamora Lois
Published: October 2021

This essay is about Julio Cortázar's literary that concerns shifted notably from his early concern with art and artistic expression to the strong political commitment of his later work. Despite this shift, certain basic ontological questions remained constant, questions that coincide with those of the French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty and may be stated generally as follows: how do embodied human beings experience the world, and how do they know and express that experience? For Merleau-Ponty, being is being-in-the-world, for Cortázar, art is the expression of being-in-the-world in the sense that Merleau-Ponty intends.
La question de l’imprèsentable: rèflexion sur une lecture
Authors: Iankova Silvia D.
Published: October 2021

La question du roman commence d'ailleurs avec l'incipit: «Le désert est indescriptible oo. » Ainsi la premiere ligne du Désert mauve marque-t-elle son degré zéro de la présentation, une ligne de partage entre l'objet et les signes, entre le réel et l'ouverture symbolique de l'oeuvre. Or, si le rapport entre les mots et les choses est d'emblée mis-en question par l'incipit, c'est encore pour marquer cette autre dimension du texte littéraire qu'on pourrait appeler aussi avec Jean-Franyois Lyotard le domaine de l'imprésentable.
Seismic Study of Soil Structure Interaction Modelling Approaches
Authors: Mishra Utkarsh
Published: October 2021

Abstract: In this paper we study certain modelling techniques by which the concept of soil structure interaction can be simulated in engineering problems and become fruitful for modern construction methods. For practical examination, a baseline model is prepared and put in comparison with an isolated base model which conforms to a rigid bathtub model with spring arrangement. Soil flexibility is taken into consideration during modeling. These modelling techniques are analysed using response spectrum analysis to get the maximum response of seismic parameters like storey forces and spectral acceleration. The study showed that the isolated base model had a superior seismic response and may be used in a variety of engineering applications, such as the design of new infrastructure, such as structures for storing water or other types of sediment, geotechnical modelling. Keywords: Baseline Model, Storey Forces, Spectral Acceleration, Soil Flexibility Rigid Bathtub Model

Investigating the role of the International Monetary Fund in the process of resolving financial crises: case study of Greece
Authors: Bijan Aref , Ejazi Ehsan
Published: October 2021

The economic crisis in the United States and its spread to continental Europe caused a financial crisis in European stock markets, which in turn reduced production in Europe, resulting in rising unemployment, that eventually led to protests against the current economic situation. These political unrests have prompted international and regional governments and financial institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the European Central Bank to find a way to end this severe financial crisis. Greece, as one of the EU member states that has been affected by this global crisis, has made efforts to improve its economic situation. The main question of this study is to what extent the International Monetary Fund was able to help resolve the financial crisis in Greece? The hypothesis is that due to the conditionality of financial aid from the International Monetary Fund to Greece in crisis and Greeces lack of attention to the full implementation of austerity programs, such financial aid has not been able to save the Greece economy from financial crisis. One of the aims of this study is to what extent developing countries can rely on IMF recommendations to overcome the financial crisis. The aim of the research is to find out why International Monetary Fund could not adopt proper monetary and financial policy to settle the financial crisis in Greece. Moreover, the reasons behind failed attempts of Greeces policymakers to implement IMFs austerity measures in their country are sought.

Published: October 2021

Aim: The aim of the present study was to study the effect of chitosan treatment on extending the shelf life of tomatoes stored at room temperature (27ºC±2) for 21 days. Methodology: Chitosan working formulation were prepared by dissolving chitosan in 1 % glacial acetic acid to get final concentrations with adjusting pH above 5 with 1N NaOH until suspension appears as colloide. Selected tomatoes were dipped in different concentrations of chitosan (0.01, 0.04, 0.08, 0.12, 0.16 and 0.20 % and water (control) for 6 min and kept in well ventilated paper baskets for storage at room temperature (27°C±2) with 55±2 % relative humidity. Results: Chitosan treated tomatoes were evaluated for different parameters related to post harvest losses. Chitosan at 0.16 % effectively prevented microbial decay, physiological loss in weight, maintained the firmness and reduced the respiration rate. Chitosan treatment further decreased the loss of titratable acidity (TA), retained the total soluble solids (TSS), total sugar, ascorbic acid, reducing sugar during storage period. Chitosan effectively preserved lycopene content, inhibit polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, maintained L*, a*, b* value and organoleptic score during storage from day 1 to day 21 as compared to control tomatoes. Interpretation: The study delves that low concentration of chitosan (0.16%) effectively extend the shelf life of tomato.

Authors: Priani Sani Ega , Setianty Tia Nur , Aryani Ratih , Fitrianingsih Sri Peni , Syafnir Livia
Published: October 2021

Background: The incidence and mortality of cancer are rapidly growing worldwide. Modification on drug delivery systems based on nanotechnology was applied to improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment. Nanoencapsulation, a part of nanotechnology,  was known can be involved in cytotoxic agents. Objective: This research was conducted to determine the type of polymers for nanoencapsulation of cytotoxic agents and analyze the effect of nanoencapsulation on the cytotoxic activity. Methods: The study was performed by systematic literature review using selected articles from reputable databases that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The results show that many cytotoxic agents have been developed in nanocapsules systems due to their low water solubility, chemical instability, and low bioavailability. The nanoencapsulation process was carried out using synthetic or natural polymers such as polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), PEGylated PLGA, polycaprolactone (PCL), chitosan-sodium tripolyphosphate, chitosan-sodium alginate, heparin-poly(l-lysine), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Those polymers are widely used for nanoencapsulation related to their biocompatible, biodegradable, non-toxic, and providing the desired coating properties. The nanoencapsulation on cytotoxic agents significantly increases the in vitro cytotoxicity, marked by the decrease of IC50 value in the range 1.4-15.4 folds compared to pure drugs. The increase in cytotoxicity could be caused by particle size reduction, modification of particle surface properties, and enhancement of drug stability. Conclusion: It can be concluded that nanoencapsulation can be applied for cytotoxic agents to increase their activity using the appropriate coating polymer.
Genome-wide footprints in the carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) unveil a new domestication pattern of fruit trees in the Mediterranean

Published: October 2021

Intense research efforts on phylogeography over the last two decades
uncovered major biogeographical trends and renewed our understandings of
plant domestication in the Mediterranean. We aim to investigate the
evolutionary history and the origin of domestication of the carob tree
that has been cultivated for millennia for food and fodder. We used
>1000 microsatellite genotypes to identify carob
evolutionary units (CEUs) based on genetic diversity structure and
geography. We investigated genome-wide diversity and evolutionary
patterns of the CEUs with 3557 SNPs generated by restriction-site
associated DNA sequencing (RADseq). The 56 populations sampled across
the Mediterranean basin, classified as natural, semi-natural or
cultivated, were examined. Although, RADseq data are consistent with
previous studies identifying a strong West-to-East genetic structure and
considerable admixture in some geographic parts, we reconstructed a new
phylogeographic scenario with two migration routes occurring from a
single refugium likely located in South-Western Morocco. Our results do
not favour the regionally bound or single origin of domestication.
Indeed, our findings support a cultivation model of locally selected
wild genotypes, albeit punctuated by long-distance westward dispersals
of domesticated varieties by humans, concomitant with major cultural
waves by Romans and Arabs in the regions of dispersal. Ex-situ efforts
to preserve carob genetic resources should prioritize accessions from
both western and eastern populations, with emphasis on the most
differentiated CEUs situated in South-Western Morocco, South Spain and
Eastern Mediterranean. Our study underscores the relevance of natural
and seminatural habitats of Mediterranean forests and their refugia in
the conservation efforts of tree crops.
In silico study predicts a key role of RNA-binding domains 3 and 4 in nucleolin-miRNA interactions.
Authors: San Avdar , Palmieri Dario , Saxena Anjana , Singh Shaneen
Published: October 2021

RNA binding proteins (RBPs) regulate many important cellular processes
through their interactions with RNA molecules. RBPs are critical for
post-transcriptional mechanisms keeping gene regulation in a fine
equilibrium. Conversely, dysregulation of RBPs and RNA metabolism
pathways is an established hallmark of tumorigenesis. Human nucleolin
(NCL) is a multifunctional RBP that interacts with different types of
RNA molecules, in part through its four RNA binding domains (RBDs).
Particularly, NCL interacts directly with microRNAs (miRNAs) and is
involved in their aberrant processing linked with many cancers,
including breast cancer. Nonetheless, molecular details of the NCL-miRNA
interaction remain obscure. In this study, we used an in silico
approach to characterize how NCL targets miRNAs and whether this
specificity is imposed by a definite RBD-interface. Here, we present
structural models of NCL-RBDs and miRNAs, as well as predict scenarios
of NCL- miRNA interactions generated using docking algorithms. Our study
suggests a predominant role of NCL RBDs 3 and 4 (RBD3-4) in miRNA
binding. We provide detailed analyses of specific motifs/residues at the
NCL-substrate interface in both these RBDs and miRNAs. Finally, we
propose that the evolutionary emergence of more than two RBDs in NCL in
higher organisms coincides with its additional role/s in miRNA
processing. Our study shows that RBD3-4 display sequence/structural
determinants to specifically recognize miRNA precursor molecules.
Moreover, the insights from this study can ultimately support the design
of novel antineoplastic drugs aimed at regulating NCL-dependent
biological pathways with a causal role in tumorigenesis.
Max Weber’s theory of Männerbund
Authors: Jeremic-Molnar Dragana , Molnar Aleksandar
Published: October 2021

Considering that Max Weber?s theory of the ?men?s union (Mannerbund)? is
still unsurpassed today, despite the fact that it was not syst ematically
developed anywhere, the authors undertook its reconstruction from the many
fragments left behind after his death, primarily in the book Economy and
Society. Although Weber is rightly considered to have paid the most
attention to the phenomenon of warrior communism in his discussions of the
Mannerbund, a detailed analysis shows that his dealings with the warrior
orgy and the warrior cult are equally important contributions.
The university as a community, or the university in a community? From the development of social sciences towards the university’s third mission
Authors: Lungulov Biljana , Kisjuhas Aleksej
Published: October 2021

This paper begins with a sociohistorical analysis of the university as a
specific community of interacting intellectuals, which enabled the creation
of an epistemological and institutional core for the development of the
social sciences. On the other hand, we critically consider and analyze the
contemporary university reforms in Europe, in terms of bringing universities
and the social community closer together through the social dimension, as
well as the dimensions of entrepreneurship and innovation. This paper aims
to investigate the role of the university from its inception as a specific
and unique intellectual community, towards its current aspirations to
connect and integrate with the wider community. Two research tasks have been
defined: the first refers to determining the importance of the interaction
among intellectuals within the university for the production of scientific
knowledge, while the second task involves analyzing the importance of
interaction between the university and the social community through the
university?s third mission. The research results indicate that the
institutional and interactionist framework for the establishment of the
university as an institution that communicates with the wider community was
gradually formed through its various roles and reforms in the course of
social history. However, we also conclude that the social role of the
university has always been relatively complementary to the current third
mission requirements, and with the historical development of knowledge
concerning human society.
Paternalistic means for antipaternalistic ends: State intervention and societal non-interference in John Stuart Mill
Authors: Simendic Marko
Published: October 2021

In On Liberty John Stuart Mill defends individual liberty from any kind of
interference that is not justified by self-protection. Paternalism,
interfering in somebody?s liberty against his will in order to promote this
person?s welfare, is forbidden by Mill?s ?one very simple principle?.
However, numerous examples in other Mill?s works show that the famous
utilitarian not only supports, but also suggests various paternalistic
policies. In this paper I aim to offer an interpretation by which Mill was
not indifferent toward the subject of a paternalistic action, and that there
is a noteworthy difference between governmental (political), social and
individual paternalism. Mill accepts the first kind of paternalism and
rejects the other two in On Liberty. Such an interpretation might somewhat
relieve Mill?s political thought from the burden of incoherence.

Published: October 2021

Controllable
genetic manipulation is an indispensable tool in research, greatly advancing our
understanding of cell biology and physiology. However in beta cells, transgene
silencing, low inducibility, ectopic expression and off-targets effects are
persistent challenges. In this study, we investigated whether an inducible,
Tet-Off system with beta-cell specific MIP-itTA driven expression of TetO-CreJaw/J
could circumvent previous issues of specificity and efficacy. Following assessment
of tissue-specific gene recombination; beta cell architecture; in vitro
and in vivo glucose-stimulated insulin secretion; and whole-body glucose
homeostasis, we discovered that expression of any tetracycline-controlled
transactivator (e.g. itTA, rtTA or tTA) in beta cells significantly reduced Insulin
gene expression and decreased insulin content. This translated into lower pancreatic
insulin levels and reduced insulin secretion in mice carrying any tTA
transgene, independent of Cre recombinase expression or doxycycline exposure. Our
study echoes ongoing challenges faced by fundamental researchers working with beta
cells and highlights the need for consistent and comprehensive controls when
using the Tet-On or Tet-Off systems for genome editing.
Laser lap joining of high-strength steel to aluminum with cold sprayed steel coating
Authors: Maeda Kyohei , Sato Yuji , Suzuki Reiichi , Suga Tetsuo , Tsukamoto Masahiro
Published: October 2021

Owing to a multimaterial car body design that has been utilized in recent years in order to reduce vehicle weight, the joining of dissimilar materials is becoming a crucial issue. The authors have developed a new dissimilar laser lap joining method using a cold spray process. In this procedure, first of all, a steel coating was sprayed onto an aluminum surface, after which this together with a steel sheet were laser welded. When the aluminum remained in a solid state, porosity was observed in the weld metal, suggesting that the cold sprayed coating caused this, while the amount of the porosity decreased as the aluminum melted, indicating that this helped prevent this occurrence. The tensile shear strength of these joints was much greater than that of laser welds without the coating. The mechanical property was greatly influenced by the penetration depth and porosity, including the surface pores, in the weld metal. The study has shown that the melting of aluminum is critical in achieving a weld metal without porosity, though the laser welding should be carried out with as little heat input as possible in order to decrease the intermetallic compound layers and the cracks within them.
The Effect of Organizational Culture and Employee Competence on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with Work Motivation as a Mediation Variable (Case Study in Pekalongan District Land Office)
Authors: Uliyah Ida , Ariyanto Setyo
Published: October 2021

Having skilled employees is not enough to achieve the goals of an organization. What is most important is how to manage qualified employees to demonstrate their performance actively and engage in work and organizations with skills that cover all or even beyond their formal roles and responsibilities. Employees are expected by the organization, not in terms of completing tasks that conform to usual behavior but also behavior that provides performance that exceeds expectations or extra-role behavior. This extra-role behavior is also known as OCB. In this study, three variables can affect OCB, namely organizational culture, employee competence, and motivation as mediating variables. In measuring the relationship between the third variable and OCB, the researcher uses the SmartPLS application. And the results of the study show that organizational culture has a positive and significant effect on OCB, employee competence has a positive and significant effect on OCB, motivation can mediate the effect of employee competence on OCB but work motivation cannot judge the relationship between organizational culture and OCB.

Published: October 2021

Organizational capabilities are seen as the firm context in which the organization members work in order to contribute to growth of the firm. Thus, inadequate organizational capabilities have resulted to numerous problems for many Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) with growing difficulties in their ability to perform and attain sustainable growth. Numerous researches relating to organizational capabilities and firm’s growth have been conducted in the literature but none of these have examined the implications of organizational capability on firm’s growth. This research therefore examined the implications of organizational capability on firm’s growth, its implications of SMEs in Anambra State. The research employed a descriptive research design. The study population was one hundred and fifty-two business owners and managers of selected SMEs in Anambra State. Complete enumeration was used. Primary data was used and was collected using questionnaires. The questionnaire was validated using face and content validity. Reliability of the instrument was done with Cronbach Alpha indicates high internal consistency. Data collected was analyzed using correlation analysis. Findings from the study indicated that research and development capability have no significant positive relationship on firm’s growth, while human resource capability has a significant positive relationship on firm’s growth. The study concluded that organizational capabilities are key success factor for driving firm’s growth among SMEs in Anambra State, Nigeria. The study recommended that for SMEs to achieve sustainable growth, business owners and managers should increase their degree of firm’s interaction with the environment and add more value to human resources capability.

COVID-19 pandemic that outbroken since early 2020 has brought a huge impact on the overall country condition while at the same time stimulate the growth of the pharmaceutical market as it is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% between 2016 and 2021 according to IQVIA. This situation creates a reaction in the stock market especially of pharmaceutical companies that experienced an average increase of 67% since last year with its key driver of news regarding the distribution of Sinovac vaccine by some state-owned pharma companies as part of the national vaccination program. PT. Kalbe Farma, Tbk as one of the largest pharma companies in Indonesia is also accounting a positive growth over the years while also presented with bright prospects as a result of its strategic initiatives to collaborate with South Korea in developing COVID-19 vaccine and medication, named Genexine which is planned to be completed in Q3 2021. The possibility of success in this project might affect the company’s stock performance since it would result in bigger profitability for the company. In order to help investors to make a decision in this situation, the intrinsic value of the company stock is required. Therefore, conducting absolute and relative valuation are believed to be important in order to find the intrinsic value. This study examined absolute valuation using FCFF model and relative valuation using P/E and EV/EBITDA for KLBF. Result of the valuation suggested that the current stock price of IDR 1,445 is overvalued. The intrinsic value calculated from FCFF model is IDR 1,397 and based on the relative valuation models are IDR 1,330 and IDR 1,233 for EV/EBITDA and P/E ratio, respectively.

Authors: Wicaksono Satrio , Min Fadlillah Alnisa
Published: October 2021

PT X is a company engaged in distribution and trading as its business activities. The logistics division, especially the logistics admin as a supply chain, certainly, has a big responsibility. In order to carry out this great responsibility, an appropriate number of workers is needed so that the work carried out can be executed properly. In this study, the main objective is to analyze the workload that exists in the current logistics admin employees and later from the results of the workload analysis, a human resource policy can be drawn concerning workloads setting.

The method used in this study was the Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) method where this method could show how much workload is proportional to each employee. As a result, the workload received by each logistics admin employee has a different workload from one employee to another. Of the three existing logistics admin employees, 2 were overloaded and one was inloaded. Human resource policies related to workload arrangements for PT X logistics admin employees can be said to have not been maximized due to differences in workloads for each employee even though each of them does the same job.

The study concluded that there was a significant relationship between employees` involvement and organization`s performance therefore rejecting the null hypothesis H0 at β = .695 and P = .000.
Level of Micronutrients Affects Pathophysiology of Diabetes Mellitus: A Scoping Review
Authors: Kiprotich Dominic , Yegon Nourine C. , Walekhwa Michael N.
Published: October 2021

Currently, 463 million adults across the globe are living with diabetes. If undeterred, this figure is projected to rise to 700 million by 2045. About 79% of adult diabetics live in Africa; majority of whom are undiagnosed. Several interventions are already available, but the disease prevalence seems steady on an upward trajectory. The economic cost of managing diabetes is overwhelming considering that type II cases have overly and audaciously continues to rise. This underpins the need for exploration of more feasible and relatively inexpensive interventions. We profiled the role of micronutrients in the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM). Findings from 10 studies published in highly refereed journals and indexed in Research Gate, PubMed, and Elsevier were synthesized, collated, and reported. Guidelines such as year of publication, conflict of interest, type of journal, research design among others, informed the process of study selection. The level of Selenium (Se) and Copper (Cu) was higher when HBA1C was higher. Further, the level of Mg, P, K, & Vitamin D correlated inversely with HBA1C. Some studies reported increased levels of Zinc (Zn) in DM subjects while others reported a decrease. Diabetes mellitus subjects should reduce intake of Se and Cu and increase intake of Mg, P, K, & Vitamin D.
How Combining Grounding and Acupuncture Simultaneously Increases Beneficial Outcomes Over Traditional Acupuncture?
Authors: Khalid Madiha , Madvin Jeremy
Published: October 2021

Multidisciplinary studies showed that when the human body is electrically in contact with the Earth (earthing or grounding), it produces intriguing consequences on the physiology and health of the human being. These effects are related to treating acute and chronic inflammatory and autoimmune illnesses, immunological responses, wound treatment, and prevention. At the same time, acupuncture in Traditional Medicine has been widely utilized for its low side effects and therapeutic effectiveness as primary therapeutic therapy. However, the electrical reaction to acupuncture stimulation has not been investigated in conditions with acupuncture that could alter acupuncture therapeutic effectiveness. The study's objective is to inform scientists of the apparent innovative approach to inflammation studies; and alert researchers to the importance of the duration and the degree of grounding, which may affect the results of inflammation, injury, and tumorigenesis studies. Grounding with acupuncture decreases pain and changes the quantity of circulating neutrophils and lymphocytes and circulating chemical substances linked to inflammation. This work reviews the potential of acupuncture with earthing as an easy and readily accessible worldwide modality of substantial clinical importance is reviewed in this work.

Feministic Approach in The Novel’s of Githa Hariharan: A Critical Study
Authors: Singh Ashok , Sharma Dr. Mukesh
Published: October 2021

Githa Hariharan, a well-known Indian woman author, has tried to focus on the deeply entrenched biases of Indian society against the feminine gender. Githa Hariharan’s new-age feminism is not about the eradication of differences between the sexes or the attainment of equal prospects, but rather concerns the individual’s rights to identify one and be comfortable in one’s own skin. The chief psychological consistencies between the sexes include women’s emotive uncertainty, greater acceptance for tiresome details, inability for intellectual thought and proneness to submission. The feminist mindfulness is to identify oneself as the victim to the power of men in society and the system. However, modern day feminists are against masculinist hierarchy but are firm believers of sexual dichotomy. This paper will study the feministic approach of Githa Hariharan in her four novels that is The Thousand Faces of Night, The Ghosts of Vasu Master, In Times of Siege and Fugitive Histories.
