Published: February 2023

The present work examines the thermochemical nonequilibrium flow in the freestream and shock layer of the Plasma Wind Tunnel Facility using experiments and computations. Computational studies were performed using the open-source solver [Formula: see text], which was validated using the NASA Interaction Heating Facility case. Two chemical reaction models were used to compute the nonequilibrium state of air, composed of six species ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], NO, N, O, Ar). Optical emission spectroscopy was employed to experimentally capture the [Formula: see text] first positive system emission from the freestream and molecular CN vibration bands emissions in the shock region. The Boltzmann plot method was employed to estimate the vibrational temperatures from the measured spectra. The measured vibrational temperatures in the freestream for two different transitions of [Formula: see text] agree with one another, which shows that the vibrational modes obey the Boltzmann distribution for the conditions considered in this study. The vibrational temperatures computed using [Formula: see text] in the nozzle freestream and the shock layer for the Plasma Wind Tunnel conditions agree with the values obtained from optical emission spectroscopy.

Authors: Garkusha V. V. , Zhuravlev S. S. , Shakirov S. R. , Yakovlev V. V.
Published: February 2023

The paper presents a full-featured simulation debugging system designed to test programmable controllers for automated process control systems in the laboratory. This system imitates the operating conditions of the automated process control system, as close as possible to the real operating conditions at the automation object. The presented system can form various levels of interference of input signals, inﬂuencing the automatic process control system with high-intensity network and impulse noise. The system also allows one to vary the parameters of the communication line. The structure of the conducted interference generator and the variator of the communication line parameters have been developed. A description of all elements necessary for modeling the main types of interference is given. In this work, an analysis of the existing electromagnetic interference in the signal circuits of process control systems was carried out, and the most typical interference was identifed. A block diagram of a conducted interference generator and a variator of communication line parameters has been developed. Both functional blocks are part of the modeling and debugging complex. They allow one to simulate the interference environment for the controller under test by introducing the generated interference into the signal communication lines in a conductive way. The structure of the adapter-former of interference for analog signals is worked out in detail with a description of its main components. Recommendations for choosing the element base are given. The practical signifcance of the performed work lies in the fact that it may improve the efciency of the complex of control and laboratory tests of the systems being created. This allows one to achieve a reduction in complexity and in setup time during implementation at the automation facility

Kinesiological Approach to the Interpretation of Gestures in a Written Literary Text
Authors: Gorshkova V. Ye.
Published: February 2023

The interpretation of the universal hand gestures of spreading arms and clapping hands in a written literary text is considered using the kinesiological approach to non-verbal communication of participants while speaking, which is currently widely developed. This approach makes it possible to identify the structuring role of the human body in the implementation of gestures based on the biomechanics of individual body parts involved in the process of gesticulation. For movement analysis researchers of French Sign Language designed a real-time 3D gesture visualization tool named ThirdEye to help study the importance of movement in the production of meaning within the context of sign language. Some studies support the idea that research on gestures accompanying speech can provide ways of studying speakers’ conceptualization of grammatical notions as they are speaking. So, the research on co-verbal gestures in French shows that gestures marking a boundary are predominantly associated with the Passé composé (perfect tense) whereas the gestures without boundaries are more often associated with the Imparfait (indefinite tense).

As to literary text, it has been proved that the material embodiment of a gesture will obviously differ in each individual case, taking into account the author’s commentary, which gives an ambiguous expressive and evaluative characteristic of the action being performed. The importance of reliance on the extralinguistic context is emphasized, which increases significantly in the situation of translating a text that interprets the body language of the “third” culture representatives who are not native speakers of the source or the target languages. Given the lack of a visual representation illustrating a specific gesture, the interpretation of the relevant fragments of the text requires an extensive cognitive baggage and a developed creative imagination of the translator.
Text Aesthetics in M. Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and its Reflection in the Russian Version of the Novel (Revisiting Translation Adequacy)
Authors: Izvolenskaya A. S.
Published: February 2023

The present article looks at how the translator’s creativity can adequately reconcile with the objective necessity for him/ her to follow the letter of the original. The case study of the Russian version of M. Atwood’s 1984 dystopian novel “The Handmaid’s Tale”, the latter literally bristling with metaphor and simile, demonstrates a great importance of adequately conveying the text’s poetic function.

In our approach, inspired by G. Bachelard’s phenomenological theory of space, we view Offred’s monologue as a kind of revery, herself – as a day-dreaming subject going through an emotional ordeal. It should be noted that in modern psychology, Offred’s revery, including her memories and fantasies, can be regarded as a product of the “wanderings” of her mind. To look deeper into Offred’s subconscious and bring out her most personal emotions we apply cognitive linguistic tools. We also turn to Atwood’s early poetry since the “Tale” told by Offred the Handmaid manifests evocative images and motives typical of the peculiar Atwoodian style.

Specifically, we have focused on contexts, in which nature-inspired images produced by the protagonist’s “wandering mind” and unfolding within innumerable metaphors and similes, unveil the ambiguity of human nature and the eerie side of life in the fictional Republic of Gilead. The cognitive analysis of the original contexts has demonstrated the equal value of metaphor and simile as major literary devices for creating character profile and even for constructing a complex plot. We have studied how those extremely diverse figures of speech are conveyed by the translator, Anastasia B. Gryzunova. Despite the many occasions when she succeeded in conveying the meaning of Atwood’s unconventional comparisons, her version, however, lacks a clear-cut translation strategy which results in a dissonance between Offred’s deep depression and the way the translator actually makes her sound in some parts of the text.

Acknowledging the positive role of the translator’s creativity, we emphasize the need for translation adequacy interpreted as consistency in pursuing a strategy that builds on the key ideas of the source text, the author’s intention and her individual style. Such view on the nature of adequacy is in line with scientifically based evaluation methods for poetic prose, of which Atwood’s acclaimed dystopian novel is no doubt a remarkable example.

Today, there are many urgent problems related to the practical aspects of reforming the judicial system of Ukraine. One of the key aspects of the judicial reform of Ukraine, based on the realities of today, is the formation and development of applied mechanisms for bringing a judge (judges) to legal responsibility, with the aim of: introduction of new effective approaches to ensuring the fundamental right of a person and a citizen to a fair trial; preventing and countering corruption in the judicial system (courts); increasing the authority of the judiciary and citizens' trust in the judicial system of Ukraine. It was determined that today one of the important aspects in this direction is a typological analysis in the countries of the European Union and the study of procedural aspects in Ukraine regarding bringing a judge to legal responsibility. Based on the results of the research, general conclusions were formulated, as well as proposals of a theoretical and practical nature were presented regarding a new solution to certain scientific and practical problems related to the legal responsibility of a judge (judges). In particular, we recommend that the legislation of Ukraine take into account the existing experience of Germany regarding the application of disciplinary responsibility of retired judges. This, taking into account the problems of theory and practice in this direction, will to some extent reduce (in the future) certain abuses of their status by judges, as well as contribute to the restoration of the level of trust and respect for the judiciary on the part of society. To ensure the legitimacy of the lustration procedure (purification of power) in Ukraine, it is necessary to take into account: the principles of the institution of legal responsibility of judges, as well as guarantees of due legal procedure. It is also stated that it is necessary to establish a clear ban on the prosecution of judges in Ukraine for one and the same specific illegal act within such limits as: one type of proceeding (disciplinary, administrative or criminal); administrative and criminal proceedings; any type of legal liability after the application of specific measures provided for by the legislation of Ukraine in the sphere of lustration (purification of power). It is advisable to conduct further research in the direction of studying practical issues regarding the violation of the oath of a judge in Ukraine in the context of constitutional responsibility.
Formation of HCO+ by protonation of carbon monoxide in zeolites
Authors: Kwak Ja-Hun , Jaegers Nicholas , Szanyi Janos , Vayssilov Georgi , Aleksandrov Hristiyan , Khivantsev Konstantin
Published: February 2023

We show both experimentally and theoretically that CO can be activated (protonated) by Bronsted acid sites to form the super-electrophilic HCO+ cation in H-zeolites such as mordenite. This mode of activation of carbon monoxide is novel for solid materials and has not been observed before. This reactivity stems from the confining environment of zeolitic micropores. HCO+ is a catalytically active super-electrophile showing catalytic reactivity in C-H and C-O bond activation, leading, for example, to methanol carbonylation to acetic acid.

Published: February 2023

The eChem project features an e-book published as a web page https://doi.org/10.30746/978-91-988114-0-7), collecting a repository of Jupyter notebooks developed for the dual purpose of explaining and exploring the theory underlying computational chemistry in a highly interactive manner as well as providing a tutorial-based presentation of the complex workflows needed to simulate embedded molecular systems of real biochemical and/or technical interest. For students ranging from beginners to advanced users, the eChem book is well suited for self-directed learning, but workshops led by experienced instructors and targeting student bodies with specific needs and interests can readily be formed from its components. This has been done by using eChem as the base for a workshop directed towards graduate students learning the theory and practises of quantum chemistry, resulting in very positive assessment of the interactive nature of this framework. The members of the eChem team are engaged in both education and research and as a mirroring activity, we develop the open-source software upon which this e-book is predominantly based. The overarching vision and goal of our work is to provide a science- and education-enabling software platform for quantum molecular modeling on contemporary and future high-performance computing systems, and to document the resulting development and workflows in the eChem book.
Characterizing the Top-down Sequencing of Protein Ions Prior to Mobility Separation in a timsTOF
Authors: Graham Katherine , Lawlor Charles , Borotto Nicholas
Published: February 2023

Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics workflows of intact protein ions have increasingly been utilized to study bio-logical systems. These workflows, however, frequently result in convoluted and difficult to analyze mass spectra. Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is a promising method to overcome these limitations by separating ions by their mass- and size-to-charge ratios. In this work, we further characterize a newly developed method to collisionally dissociate intact protein ions in a trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS) device. Dissociation occurs prior to ion mobility separation and thus, all product ions are distributed throughout the mobility dimension, enabling facile assignment of near isobaric product ions. We demonstrate that collisional activation within a TIMS device is capable of dissociating protein ions up to 66 kDa. We also demonstrate that the filling of the TIMS device significantly influence the efficiency of fragmentation. Lastly, we compare CIDtims to the other modes of collisional activation available on the Bruker timsTOF and demon-strate that the mobility resolution in CIDtims enables the annotation of overlapping fragment ions and improves sequence coverage.

The desire to increase the energy density of stoichiometric layered LiTMO2 (TM = 3d transition metal) cathode materials has promoted investigation into their properties at high states of charge. Although there is increasing evidence for pronounced oxygen participation in the charge compensation mechanism, questions remain whether this is true O-redox, as observed in Li-excess cathodes. Through a high-resolution O K-edge resonant inelastic X-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) study of the Mn-free Ni-rich layered oxide, LiNi0.98W0.02O2, we demonstrate that the same oxidized oxygen environment exists in both Li-excess and non-Li-excess systems. The observation of identical RIXS loss features in both classes of compounds is remarkable given the differences in their crystallographic structure and delithiation pathways. This lack of a specific structural motif reveals the importance of electron correlation in the charge compensation mechanism for these systems and indicates how a better description of charge compensation in layered oxides is required to understand anionic redox for energy storage.
Methanation of CO/CO2 mixtures: Evaluation of pellet size effect on methane formation rate and reactant selectivity
Authors: Schumacher Jannik , Meyer Dominik , Friedland Jens , Güttel Robert
Published: February 2023

In the present contribution, numerical experiments are used to interpret results obtained from physical diffusion-influenced experiments for the CO and CO2 co-methanation. Physical and numerical experiments are conducted in the temperature range from 513 to 573 K and different CO/CO2 ratios. It is revealed that CO and CO2 behave very differently when both are simultaneously converted into CH4, which is mainly due to the competing reaction kinetics. Since CO inhibits the methanation of both CO2 and itself, large pellets and the associated diffusion limitation can be used to reduce the concentration of CO inside the pellets and hence its overall inhibiting effect. This catalyst design aspect can be used to increase the effective methane formation rate up to 35 % for a co-methanation of CO and CO2, while larger pellets allow to reduce the pressure drop in the reactor at the same time, which provides further advantages for reactor operation. Moreover, it is found that a selective CO methanation can be conducted with low-loading (nickel) catalysts, as long as the catalyst is operated in the low-temperature region (T << 300 °C) with small particle sizes below 1.5 mm. In addition, it is shown that industrially relevant catalysts significantly affect the reactant selectivity.

Published: February 2023

Hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) reactions are important in many biological systems. As these reactions are hard to observe experimentally, it is of high interest to shed light on them using simulations. Here, we present a machine learning model based on graph neural networks for the prediction of activation energies of HAT reactions in proteins. It is trained on more than 17,000 energy barriers calculated using hybrid density functional theory. We built and evaluated the model in the context of HAT in collagen, but the same workflow can easily be applied to HAT reactions in other biological or synthetic polymers. We obtain for relevant reactions (small reaction distances) a model with good predictive power (R2 <0.9 and mean absolute error of <3 kcal/mol). As the inference speed is high, this model enables evaluations of many chemical situations in rapid succession. When combined with molecular dynamics in a kinetic Monte-Carlo scheme, the model paves the way toward reactive simulations.
Catalytic hydrogenation of hemicellulosic sugars: reaction kinetics and influence of sugar structure on reaction rate
Authors: Freitas Victoria , Paez Ana , Fongarland Pascal , Philippe Régis , Vilcocq Léa
Published: February 2023

Hemicelluloses are a major part of lignocellulosic biomass. Different sugars can be obtained from hemicelluloses: xylose, arabinose, galactose, mannose, glucose. Their catalytic hydrogenation produces polyols: xylitol, arabinitol, dulcitol, mannitol, sorbitol, which are valuable chemicals and platform molecules. In this paper, the hydrogenation of sugars was investigated with a Ru/TiO2 catalyst. The influence of temperature, pressure, xylose concentration and catalyst amount was studied for xylose hydrogenation and a Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model was designed. The comparative study of five hemicellulose sugars showed a strong impact of sugar structure on hydrogenation rate: hexoses (glucose, mannose, galactose) react slower than pentoses (xylose, arabinose).
Side-chain engineering in hydrophilic n-type π-conjugated polymers for enhanced reactivity
Authors: Berl Alexandra , Sklar Jonathan , Yun Young Ju , Kalow Julia
Published: February 2023

Minor changes to side chains in conjugated polymers can have pronounced effects on polymer properties by altering backbone planarity, solubility, and interaction with ions. Here, we report the photocontrolled synthesis of hydrophilic CPs from Grignard monomers and find that switching from alkyl to oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) side chains changes their photoreactivity. Specifically, installing hydrophilic side chains on the same monomer core yields higher molecular weight polymers and allows polymerization to proceed with lower-energy red light. Additionally, we discover a side chain decomposition pathway for N-OEG monomers, which are prevalent in CP research. Decomposition can be overcome by adding an extra methylene unit in the side chains without compromising polymer molecular weight or hydrophilicity. Importantly, this polymerization does not require transition metal catalysts and is a promising approach to the preparation of n-type conjugated block copolymers.
Measurement in Scientific Research
Authors: Asmar Hassan , Mohammed Murad
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of measurement in scientific research, with an emphasis on measurement in social research and the progress it has made, as well as, the differences in views in the social sciences on the need for measurement. To explain measurement, scale-related concepts such as reality, validity, certainty, accuracy, objectivity and intersubjectivity are highlighted, as these concepts directly affect the measurement process and scale creation. The understanding of measurement in the natural sciences differs from the social sciences. Measurement in the natural sciences was found to be more advanced than in the social sciences. While the purpose of measurement is to produce some kind of truth, but it may sometimes not be able to measure the entire object or component intended to measure, therefore, we may reach wrong conclusions, and the measurement may appear at a lower level than expected.

Published: February 2023

The liquid smoke in liquid form is considered less practical and susceptible to damage to
phenolic compounds during storage. Liquid smoke encapsulation technology is expected
to be able to overcome the problem of handling liquid smoke. This study aimed to
determine the optimum conditions for the manufacture of liquid smoke nanoparticles in
terms of the particle size distribution produced. The ratio of arabic gum and maltodextrin
concentration, homogenization speed and homogenization time were optimized using the
Box-Behnken Response Surface Methodology (RSM) experimental design. The response
used in this study is the particle size distribution (z-average). Based on the results of the
study, the optimum conditions for the manufacture of liquid smoke nanoparticles were
obtained at a concentration ratio of gum arabic and maltodextrin 12:88, a homogenization
speed of 4000 rpm and a homogenization time of 3 mins, with a particle size distribution
(z-average) 78.53±1.48 nm.
Six Unique Years

Published: February 2023

This article addresses the question of what caused the 1980 growth strategy which led to investment in major energy projects in NewZealand. It argues that it was a rational policy response at the time. However, the political goal of self-sufficiency in transport fuels was costly and inefficient. Pressure on construction resources and inflation led to unacceptable cost overruns and the forecasting of future prices was astray. As a result, the ventures needed financial restructuring. Some lessons for the imminent investments to combat climate change are drawn.
A Reform Architecture for Political Party Funding in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors: Rashbrooke Max , Marriott Lisa
Published: February 2023

We recently published a comprehensive report on political party funding in Aotearoa New Zealand (Rashbrooke and Marriott, 2022). This article documents some of the issues we discovered in the process of writing that report and some of the solutions we propose to address these issues. We recommend stronger donation regulation: capping annual donations at $15,000 and donor identification for donations above $1,500. We also recommend increased state funding: for approximately $2 per voter per annum, ‘big money’ can be eliminated from the political finance arena. This improves transparency and – crucially – can significantly reduce the perception of influence from large donations.

The Dairy-4-Future project focuses on improving the sustainability of dairy farming in the UK, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal. Improvement in dairying sustainability can be achieved by supporting and expanding the positive impacts and services that dairy farming has upon, and offer to, the local communities and by reducing the disservices, or negative impacts associated with dairying. To create a qualitative identification of a relevant, ranked list of items or issues associated with dairying in each territory in the project, interactive workshops with local stakeholders were organized in each regional case study. Stakeholders identified positive or negative impacts of local dairy farming on their territories, broken down into four specific categories: provisioning (e.g., food), rural vitality, environmental quality, cultural heritage, and quality of life. A total of 165 services and 135 dysservices were identified, balanced across the four categories. From these services and dysservices, groupings showed correlations between items and/or territories (for example, between Northern Ireland and Cornwall; Southern Ireland and Normandy; Galicia and Brittany). The impact of farm system type, specifically grassland, played a strong role in the linking of services and dysservices. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-03-010 Full Text: PDF

Development of efficient modified bioinspired material for the sorption of heavy metals is currently on the fore front of environmental heavy metals remediation research. Functionalized biochar for heavy metals removal is highly advantageous because of striking properties such as regenerability, simplicity, low–cost, high efficiency, and mechanical stability, chemical inertness to many organic solvent, surface polarity, functionality, chelation property and decreased hydrophobicity absent in naked biochar. This review surveyed the sources of heavy metals, the bioavailability and effects on man and biota, and previous work on the method of preparation of the biochar, its modification, and its characterization. The paper also presented critical analysis on the preparation of biochar, modification methods, surface chemistry, mechanisms of interaction, extraneous variables, and characterization methods. A comparative treatment of the preparation conditions, characterization methods, and surface functionalities was presented. The perceived disadvantages were listed, and the future prospects of the new research area for industrial scale applications were thoroughly presented. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-03-09 Full Text: PDF
RIGHTEOUS ANOREXICS. THE PRO-ANOREXIA (PRO-ANA) MOVEMENT AS AN AUDIENCE CULT
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Ivlieva Ekaterina P.
Published: February 2023

The article considers the pro-anorexia (pro-ana) movement an audience cult. The author defines the pro-ana movement as an Internet movement whose members view anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders not as severe mental illnesses, but as a lifestyle choice. The audience cult is a term proposed by sociologists R. Stark and W. S. Bainbridge in the framework of the theory of religious movements. According to Stark and Bainbridge, an audience cult is a community of people who are not bound by a fixed membership, but are united by a set of ideas spread by the media. Adherents of the audience cult act as “consumers” of cult ideas, and not members of a religious organization. The author considers the materials of Russian-speaking pro-ana communities, collected by the methods of the virtual ethnography. The author uses research conducted by Olivia Knapton, Beata Hoffman, Grace Overbeke, Michelle Lelwica and other authors who researched English-speaking pro-ana communities. The article describes the mythology and practices of the pro-ana movement. The article also uses the research of Rudolph Bell and Caroline Walker Bynum on medieval women mystics in order to separately discuss the similarities between the food restriction practices of the pro-ana movement and the ascetic practices of the Middle Ages saints. The author concludes that there are features of an audience cult in the Russian-speaking pro-ana movement.
THE CONTEMPORARY ANTI-CULT MOVEMENT IN RUSSIA. FROM “VKONTAKTE” COMMUNITIES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Popova Alexandra M.
Published: February 2023

The study focuses on the contemporary anti-cult movement in the Russian Federation. The object of the study is four large and active virtual groups dedicated to anti-cult themes. The research objectives are to identify the main characteristics of “sect” in the discourse of the anti-cult movement; to establish the specifics of the construction of the “sectarian” image in the anticult movement through the prism of modern media and to offer an analysis of the activities of the virtual groups’ participants. The study found that anticult communities are platforms for polemics between followers and opponents of the anti-cult movement. They reproduce and offer their participants to complement and develop a negative image of a “sectarian”. At the same time, judging by the materials of the communities, the anti-cult movement largely limits its activities to the space of the Network and, with a few exceptions, does not conduct any actions outside of it.

Published: February 2023

Phosphorus (P), a essential element for all living organisms is often the most limiting nutrient in soil-plant systems. In order to increase the phosphorus content in plants and its uptake efficiency in alkaline soil, the following study was undertaken. The experiment was carried out in a factorial completely randomized block design with five treatment combinations viz., Control (no P), P alone @ 71.35 kg ha-1 , P with Farm Yard Manure (FYM) @ 12.5 t ha-1 , Enriched Farm Yard Manure (EFYM) (FYM @ 750 kg ha-1 enriched with recommended dose of SSP) and P with Humic acid @ 3 kg ha-1 . All the five treatments were tried with and without Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza (VAM) @ 5 kg ha-1 and the experiment was replicated four times. The phosphorus concentration in soil and plant samples were analysed. The available phosphorus status in soil showed a decreasing trend along the growth stages of maize but the application of P with FYM (25.04 kg ha-1 ) and as EFYM (24.57 kg ha-1 ) recorded significantly higher available P in all the stages. The plant P concentration also showed the decreasing trend along the crop growth stages and recorded the highest concentration in P with FYM and VAM treatment (0.19 %). The grain P uptake (0.14 g pot-1 ) and stover uptake (0.10 g pot-1 ) was also found to be higher in the application of P and FYM with VAM. The combined application of inorganic minerals (SSP @ 71.35 kg ha-1 ) along with organics (FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 ) and bioinoculants (VAM @ 5 kg ha-1 ) can enhance the soil quality and health for the sustainable crop production.

The tourism sector is one of the priority sectors for national development. Lampung province has three potential tourism sectors that can be developed for regional development. However, Lampung still focuses on ecotourism which has not been properly developed. A lot of natural/maritime tourism is developed without a clear plan, so there is a misunderstanding in developing ecotourism which is undoubtedly dangerous for nature’s survival. Therefore, we need a model that could be the key to success in developing tourism potential in Lampung. The quadruple helix model can be seen as a refinement of the triple helix perspective, which focuses on practitioners from academia, government, and industry, and recognizes the increasing role played by society. Implementing the quadruple helix based on ecotourism needs to involve four parties, including academics, companies, government, and the community. Each party has its role, where academics play a role in the development of education, research, and community service in ecotourism. The company acts as an actor who develops the potential of tourism. The government plays an essential role as a regulator and facilitator in developing ecotourism. Finally, the community acts as a forum that unites the interests of business practitioners and stakeholders. Three different types of quadruple helix models can be used for collaborative innovation. The firm-driven living lab model is suitable for developing ecotourism in this research because it focuses on commercializing innovation. This model can be used to develop the commercialization of ecotourism innovations in Lampung province.

The need for communication technology, especially internet data services, cannot be separated from people’s lives. Almost all people now have internet data services to meet their internet access needs. However, the public is faced with many choices of internet data services offered by cellular network operators, one of which is Smartfren. PT Smartfren Telecom, Tbk, provides a wide selection of attractive data services and adapts to the needs of the community in order to increase the number of new customers and retain old customers. PT Smartfren Telecom, Tbk uses a 4P marketing mix strategy (Product, Price, People, Promotion) to increase and retain its customers. However, Smartfren is still inferior to other provider competitors, where Telkomsel has a market share value of 49.47%, XL 29.79%, Tri 16.49%, Indosat 10.64%, and Smartfren 5.85%. This shows that although there is a growth in customers every year, the market share (users) is still lagging behind other competitors. This study aims to increase market share using SWOT analysis. This study applied the 4P marketing mix theory and SWOT analysis to examine the issues raised. Data were collected by conducting interviews and direct observation. The results of this research will later show a marketing strategy to increase and retain the number of Smartfren customers.

University is one of the highest energy consumptions among commercial buildings because the university has high load consumption. So, strategic management of energy saving in universities needs to be considered to reduce costs and energy consumption. Actually, there are many methods to save electricity consumption in university (community load system) from electrical sides and building design construction and human behaviors. Another thing is that energy consumption can be reduced by making green university. Some methods that can reduce energy in university are using conservation voltage reduction methods, utilizing IoT devices and smart technology instead of outdated electrical equipment, and installing renewable energy technology such as solar PV on campus. This paper reviews some methods that can save energy consumption and electricity bills as a background. The cost-effectiveness analysis was done by installing individual AC in universities. The experiment was done over 15 days with 8 h per day and energy savings can be found in 10,624 kWh with a cost-saving was 45,683 Baht for 15 days. The payback period was 1.6 years. According to these results, individual air-conditioning systems can be used instead of chiller systems in universities to save energy. This is the way of making the university become a green campus and sustainable.

Authors: Rosiawan Muhammad
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to discuss the implementation of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) in the relevant ISO 21001 requirements. These requirements include understanding the organization and its context, needs of students and other beneficiaries, actions to address risks and opportunities, delivery and assessment of learning, evaluation, and corrective/improvement actions. The research method examines the requirements of ISO 21001 relevant to the implementation of OBE and provides an example of its application in one of the study programs. The study results show that ISO 21001 in higher education can be used as a management system platform to achieve the desired results under the organization’s vision, mission, and goals and implement OBE. An example of the application shows that the study program carried out the delivery of OBE in a more structured and systematic manner by referring to the requirements in ISO 21001. Structured, the study program uses an input-process-output/outcome approach in managing OBE. Meanwhile, systematic, the study program uses the PDCA cycle to improve OBE performance. Practically, study programs in Indonesia can use the ISO 21001 standard to harmonize the application of Education Standards in the National Standards for Higher Education, especially competency, content, learning process, and assessment. Furthermore, the study program uses the PDCA cycle to continuously meet and improve OBE performance.
