Authors: Yuniar Villa , Noor Rijali
Published: December 2024

Tahu merupakan produk kuliner berbahan dasar kedelai. Selama proses pembuatannya, industri tahu menghasilkan sampah padat dan limbah cair. Sebagian besar industri tahu tidak memiliki infrastruktur pengolahan limbah, sehingga limbah yang dihasilkan dibuang langsung ke sungai. Tingkat polutan organik yang tinggi hadir dalam limbah cair, yang dapat menyebabkan polusi yang signifikan. Limbah yang dibuang ke air harus memenuhi persyaratan kualitas yang ditetapkan. Jika air yang dibuang tidak memenuhi baku mutu, maka akan mencemari lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi kualitas air limbah yang dihasilkan oleh industri tahu, serta menentukan teknologi pengolahan yang paling sesuai dengan kondisi limbah tersebut dan merancang instalasi pengolahan air limbah (IPAL). Limbah cair industri tahu mengandung BOD 2666,5 mg/L, COD 12476,1 mg/L, dan TSS 3220,3 mg/L. Pemilihan teknologi IPAL menggunakan metode skoring, dengan kriteria penilaian yang bersumber dari Tim Teknis Pengembangan Sanitasi. Unit pengolahan yang dipilih adalah Biofilter Anaerobik-Aerobik dengan skor 4,3. Rancangan bangunan IPAL mencakup bak ekualisasi, bak sedimentasi awal, bak biofilter anaerobik, bak biofilter aerobik, dan bak sedimentasi akhir.

The Role of Alay Language in Online Relationship Dissolution: A Netnographic Study of TikTok Trend “Kenapa Gak Coba Sama Yang Baru?”
Authors: Hahijary Lucia Winona , Sabiq Putra
Published: December 2024

The “Kenapa gak coba sama yang baru?” TikTok trend in Indonesia highlights the use of “typing jelek” in online relationship dissolution, in this case Alay language. This study aims to explore the motivations behind sharing private conversational failures on social media platforms, particularly within the context of the trend on TikTok. A netnographic content analysis of 28 TikTok posts following this trend reveals how Alay language can create negative first impressions in early stages of online relationships. The use of Alay language is now often perceived as outdated and can create a horn effect, negatively influencing overall perceptions of the sender, reflecting broader societal attitudes and cultural shifts in digital communication norms. The high engagement rates of posts featuring Alay language miscommunications suggest that this content resonates strongly with TikTok users, likely due to its relatability or entertainment value. Creators following this trend suggested were seeking validation and emotional support from others who have had similar experiences and engaging in a form of digital self-presentation. This study contributes to our understanding of how social media platforms can serve as spaces for shared experiences, even when those experiences are negative, potentially offering users a sense of community and validation through the sharing of communication mishaps.

Authors: Pedan Stanislav , Melnik Maksim , Alieksieiev Mykola , Umakoğlu İnci
Published: December 2024

Background. The usage of IoT technologies leads to the social, technological and financial development of society. While complex systems play an important role in the IoT, the design, integration and use of simple devices really drive the technology's widespread adoption. At the same time, ensuring a high level of security for simple IoT devices is a difficult task. The reasons for this are device limited computing resources and low power consumption requirements. It prevents the implementation of most modern cryptographic protocols for simple IoT devices. From a security point of view, the most critical communication stage is device pairing, when shared encryption keys are formed to establish a secure communication channel.
Objective. The purpose of the paper is to analyse the main vulnerabilities of a simple IoT device pairing process and develop a method for improving security of this process. The method should provide proximity-based device authentication and pairing process protection against known attacks, such as man-in-the-middle attack.
Methods. The method of pairing process security improvement includes proximity-based device authentication using analysis of the wireless signal strength. The security of the authentication method is proven analytically and by results of practical experiments with measurement of wireless signal strength change with distance and obstacles between devices.
Results. Performed research demonstrated that the proposed method guarantees secure user authentication at a close distance between devices and protection against attacker located at least 10 meters from the paired device. Provided theoretical calculations and experimental results show that the level of attacker's wireless signal power increase required for a successful attack exceeds technical capabilities of existing communication devices.
Conclusions. The article solves an important issue of improving the security of simple device pairing. The proposed method of proximity-based IoT device authentication provides pairing process protection against man-in-the-middle attacks. Mathematical calculations were confirmed by conducting a number of experiments to research wireless signal power change depending on the distance and types of obstacles between devices. The proposed authentication method can be integrated into the existing JustWorks protocol for connecting simple IoT devices using the BLE communication channel.
COGNITIVE-COMMUNICATIVE DYNAMICS OF MANIPULATION IN MEDIA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Zabotkina V.I. , Pozdnyakova E.M. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2024

The article examines the dynamics of cognitive processes of creators and recipients of manipulation in media discourse. Cognitive dynamics is considered as an interaction of participants’ conceptual and linguistic worldviews in a manipulative act. The purpose of the article is to develop an integrative cognitive model that represents a system of frames, the dynamics of slot profiling and the variability of conceptual projections within an integrated mental space of participants (AGENT, COUNTERAGENT, EXPERIENCER) and the manipulative communicative EVENT. The research methodology is based on cognitive linguistics theories of frame semantics and conceptual integration. To operate a big sample of media texts the authors employed a specially designed parser. In an advanced analytics system, the parser analyzes the syntactic structure of each sentence of downloaded telegram channel texts, constructs its semantic representation and associates it with one of 3,800 situational frames extracted from a large text corpus. The integrative model represents a new development applicable to identifying manipulations in the media. The proposed approach can be successfully applied to manipulation identifications not only in media but in a broad social context.
AN IDEOGRAPHIC DICTIONARY AS A TEXT: THE MAIN CATEGORIES AND GENRES
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Babenko L.G.
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the study of the nature of ideographic dictionaries. The need for this research arises from the rapid development of Russian lexicography, particularly in the field of ideography. Ideographic dictionaries published by Ural Semantic School were used as a basis for this study. The author examined more than twenty titles, taking into account scientific poly-paradigmatic principles. The focus is on the analysis of text-forming categories, identification of theoretical principles, and lexicographical parameters. The genre-forming factor is found in the interaction of the fundamental principles of building ideographic dictionaries, the text categories presented in them and a set of units that differ in semantic and grammatical nature. The author highlighted the following categories as representatives of the textual nature of ideographic dictionaries: informativeness, conceptuality, integrity, completeness, consistency and articulateness. Categories form a special type of ideographic dictionary, which occupies the highest position in the hierarchy. There are two main types of ideographic dictionaries: thesaurus dictionaries and large explanatory dictionaries. Further, they can be divided into several subcategories, such as complex explanatory dictionaries, ideographic dictionaries with combined explanations and extended ideographic dictionaries, as well as smaller ideographic ones.
METATEXTS ABOUT PRANK NEWS IN THE RUSSIAN TELEGRAM-SPACE
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg State University, Troshchenkova E.V.
Published: December 2024

The article aims at conducting cognitive modeling for key aspects of bloggers’ and their nuclear audience’s perceptions of NEWS-PRANK as a specific, new genre of social media and outlining the connections among these aspects. Methodologically, the study is based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods that help identify and describe those elements of communicative coordination (verbal and iconic, in the case of polycode metatexts) of bloggers and their nuclear audience that signal the coordination of their mental representations regarding NEWS-PRANK. In turn, such shared group knowledge determines the emerging genre itself, as creating and disseminating such texts are being collectively evaluated and the feedback is taken into account by prank creators in their future prank activity. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the metatexts about prank news allowed to identify the key lexicon. Basing our observations on the data of contextual analysis of word meanings and discourse analysis of statements in the framework of discussions, taking into account sociopolitical and cultural context, we identified the main topics and determined the characteristics essential for the discussed pranks and pranking activities and the features of their interpretation. Collective discussion of the news-prank genre adds to genre-formation: users not only disseminate information, thus taking an active part in the life of the prank, but also interpret the concept of “news-prank” itself. Their metatexts are highly consistent as of the features emphasized and described. Pranks are correlated with real news and fake news; in comparison, we defined the specificity of prank as a fictional text in which not only the entertainment aspect is emphasized, but also prank’s ability to influence reality, its educational potential, which makes all participants of the datasphere more attentive to sources of information and fact-checking. The space of pranking is represented as the one for freedom of expression, which is given a value status. The high level of conflict in this space becomes most evident when harsh sarcasm is used against “outsiders”, who did not understand the essence of the prank and mistakenly perceived it as real news or a malicious fake.
“POSSIBLE” AND “IMPOSSIBLE” IN THE NATIONAL VARIETIES OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba, Demyankov V.Z.
Published: December 2024

Lexical items denoting possibility and impossibility are part of the semantic category of “epistemic warrant” (Lyons, 1977). They are used differently in Castilian Spanish (Spain) and Spanish of Latin America. This paper explores how some principles behind artificial intelligence systems are applied in algorithms for processing text corpora in these two varieties of Spanish. The results include statistical analysis of the left and right contexts of these words and their related terms within representative corpora. The data was further analyzed to demonstrate differences in the concepts of possibility and impossibility between the two varieties. For example, in Castilian Spanish, ‘imposible’ is most frequently used immediately after ‘es’ (3rd person singular form of the verb “to be”) in the present tense, while in Latin American Spanish, it is most frequently used immediately after ‘era’ (3rd person singular of the past tense of “to be”). In both corpora, as well as in other languages studied in several publications by the author (Latin, English, Russian, French, etc.), lexical items that denote positive possibility quantitatively outnumber those of the impossibility class. However, this predominance is less pronounced in Latin American texts than in the Castilian corpus. These findings may be useful in identifying different attitudes towards epistemological justifications for statements in different cultural contexts.

Authors:   Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Zykova I.V.
Published: December 2024

The paper describes the results of studying the pragmatic and creative aspects of title formation in multimodal discourse. The research material involves titles of English film dramas. As a source of the research material, two Internet databases were used - Kinopoisk and Internet Movie Database. The criteria for selecting film titles and the algorithm for analyzing the way of their formation by means of integrated (complex) methodology have been developed. The compiled multimedia corpus of research material includes 193 titles of modern American and British film dramas and more than 420 of their multimodal representations in film posters and trailers. The research conducted has resulted in (1) establishing the main structural and syntactic types of the analyzed film names; (2) identifying and describing their lexical and semantic features, and (3) detecting the conceptual and semantic transformations that appellatives acquire in the process of their transition to the category of titles in order to attract the addressee’s attention and inform about the content of the films. The obtained data reveal that naming in multimodal discourse is a dynamic creative process that takes places on three interrelated levels: linguistic, linguistic-visual (in film posters) and linguistic-audiovisual (in trailers).

Published: December 2024

The SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted the health of millions globally, with many individuals experiencing persistent symptoms even after testing negative, a condition known as Post-acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), or “Long COVID”. This study analyzes demographic influences on the severity and timeline of PASC symptoms, with emphasis on physiological and cognitive effects. Using a self-reporting survey method, data was collected from a sample of 110 participants and analyzed using statistical methods such as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Pearson Correlation, and Two-Factor ANOVA Test. The participants were primarily based in California, and a majority of them were ethnically Asian. Based on the study, females generally reported higher severity for cognitive and physiological symptoms compared to males, and symptom severity was generally lower among vaccinated individuals. Correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between depression and cognitive impairments, underscoring the psychological impact of PASC. This study emphasizes the complexity of PASC, demonstrating how demographic characteristics such as age, sex, and vaccination status influence the severity and duration of symptoms, contributing to the growing understanding of PASC. Further research should consider SARS-CoV-2 variant-specific impacts and broader population samples.
Integrating Remote Sensing and Community Perceptions for Sustainable Climate Adaptation Strategies in Mountain Ecosystems
Authors: Pokhrel Ankita , Fang Ping , Bastola Gaurav
Published: December 2024

Mountain ecosystems, such as Nepal’s Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), are highly vul-nerable to climate change, which threatens biodiversity, water resources, and livelihoods. This study examines Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI), climate variability, and community per-ception and adaptations over a 35-year period (1988–2023) using remote sensing, meteorological data, and community surveys. Vegetation expanded by 19,800 hectares, while barren land de-clined, reflecting afforestation and land reclamation efforts. NDVI showed improved vegetation health, while NDSI revealed significant snow cover losses, particularly after 1996. Meteorological analysis highlighted intensifying monsoonal rainfall and rising extreme precipitation events at lower elevations. Communities reported increased flooding, unpredictable rainfall, and reduced snowfall, driving adaptive responses such as water conservation, crop diversification, and rain-water harvesting. These findings demonstrate the value of integrating scientific data with local knowledge to inform sustainable adaptation strategies. Contributing to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6 and 13, the findings emphasize the importance of adaptive water management, resilient agriculture, and participatory conservation to enhance climate resilience in mountain ecosystems.
An Integrated Method for the Reconstruction of Renaissance Private Exhibition Rooms Camerini Starting from the Ippolito II d’Este’s Cabinet of Paintings at His Tiburtine Villa
Authors: Occhipinti Carmelo , Patroni Olga Concetta , Gaiani Marco , Cipriani Luca , Fantini Filippo
Published: December 2024

This paper presents a new object of study: the so-called camerini, private rooms for study and reflection in the great stately palaces of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, which contained riches and artistic heritage of inestimable value and were characterized by very dim lighting. The analysis of the camerini, true precursors of the modern museum, is not only a specific subject of study but also extremely relevant because it allows us to re-analyze the entire evolution of the museum type and its characteristics: discovering its origins, following its evolution, and critically reviewing its current features. Starting from the case study of the Quarto Camerino of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, a superset of the specific features of this type of space and the possible problems in its 3D reconstruction, the article presents a method, and a workflow aimed at the reconstruction and visualization with high visual quality of these spaces and their features. Digital surveying technologies are integrated with advanced methods that allow the reproduction of the full optical properties of spatial surfaces and with tools for semantic modelling and visualization to generate a digital artefact that is consistent with the available information and its interpretations and that can be analyzed both perceptually and analytically.
Power Distribution System Improvement Planning Considering Financial Losses Due to Faults in Power System
Authors: Kesphrom Nitikorn , Nedphokaew Supawud , Ruangsap Natchapol , Rugthaicharoencheep Nattachote
Published: December 2024

This research article presents a method for selecting an improvement approach for the power distribution system by analyzing financial losses caused by faults in the system. These losses can be estimated in two parts: the first part arises from power outages, which lead to lost sales opportunities and expenses for resolving the outages, while the second part results from voltage sags that affect sensitive electrical equipment. The method involves simulating faults at various points in the distribution system and assessing their impact on industrial, commercial, and largescale electricity consumers. The results demonstrate that by combining the total financial losses from both parts and comparing these losses before and after implementing system improvements, effective and economically viable decision-making information can be obtained for enhancing the power distribution system.

This review summarizes the available literature on the association between IVF treatments and thrombosis, focusing on epidemiology and pathophysiology. Thrombosis is a rare IVF-related complication, with an incidence of approximately 0.2%, dramatically increased by ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Arterial thrombosis, primarily associated with OHSS, is a rare and early event, while venous thrombosis, although more common, remains a rare complication of IVF. Venous thrombosis often affects the upper body. The thrombotic risk is higher during the first trimester of pregnancy obtained through IVF. This review discusses the impact of risk factors such as OHSS, thrombophilia, obesity, smoking, advanced maternal age, and polycystic ovarian syndrome, which predispose women to thromboembolic events during and after IVF stimulation.

Urban cycling is a sustainable mode of transportation in large cities, and it offers many advantages. It is an eco-friendly means of transport that is accessible to the population and easy to use. Additionally, it is more economical than other means of transportation. Urban cycling is beneficial for physical health and mental well-being. Achieving sustainable mobility and the evolution towards smart cities demands a comprehensive analysis of all the essential aspects that enable their inclusion. Road safety is particularly important, which must be prioritized to ensure safe transportation and reduce the incidence of road accidents. In order to help reduce the number of accidents that urban cyclists are involved in, this work proposes an alternative solution in the form of an intelligent computational assistant that utilizes Simplified Machine Learning (SML) to detect potential risks of unexpected collisions. This technological approach serves as a helpful alternative to the current problem. Through our methodology, we were able to identify the problem involved in the research, design and development of the solution proposal, collect and analyze data, and obtain preliminary results. These results experimentally demonstrate how the proposed model outperforms most state-of-the-art models that use a metric learning layer for small image sets.

STXBP1 syndrome is a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy characterized by developmental delay and intellectual disability. This review addresses key challenges in STXBP1 syndrome research, focusing on advanced therapeutic approaches and experimental models. We explore gene therapy strategies, including CRISPR-Cas9, adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors, and RNA therapies such as antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), aimed at correcting STXBP1 genetic dysfunctions. The review presents in vivo and in vitro models, highlighting their contributions to understanding disease mechanisms. Additionally, we provide a detailed bioinformatic analysis of a Spanish cohort of 41 individuals with STXBP1-related disorders, offering insights into specific mutations and their biological implications. Clinical and translational perspectives are discussed, emphasizing the potential of personalized medicine approaches. Future research directions and key challenges are outlined, including the identification of STXBP1 interactors, unexplored molecular pathways, and the need for clinically useful biomarkers. This comprehensive review underscores the complexity of STXBP1-related infantile epileptic encephalopathy and opens new avenues for advancing understanding and treatment of this heterogeneous disease.

Background: 50% of patients in AL amyloidosis have t(11;14) translocation, allowing to use the selective, oral BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax in their treatment. Case presentation: Our patient was admitted to the Gastroenterology Ambulance due to weight loss and abdominal pain. An abdominal CT scan revealed some enlarged lymph nodes, he was referred to the Hematology Ambulance. Bone marrow biopsy showed massive amorphous amyloid deposition. The sample was positive with Congo red staining and exhibited double refraction under polarized light microscope. Serum free light chains and the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chains (dFLC) were elevated. Fluorescent in situ hybridization detected t(11;14) translocation. Further examinations confirmed the involvement of the liver, colon and heart. Stage II. AL amyloidosis was confirmed. Combined chemotherapy was initiated with Venetoclax due to the presence of the t(11;14) translocation. After six cycles, the patient achieved complete remission. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) was performed. At 100 days post-ASCT, the patient had complete hematologic remission. Venetoclax maintenance treatment was initiated. Follow-up examinations are showing that the patient is in very good partial remission. Conclusions: In case of our AL amyloidosis patient with t(11;14) translocation the combined treatment of CyBorD and venetoclax was well tolerated and effective.
Transfinite Patches for Isogeometric Analysis
Authors: Provatidis Christopher
Published: December 2024

This paper extends the well-known transfinite interpolation formula, which was developed in late sixties by the applied mathematician William Gordon at the premises of General Motors as an extension of the pre-existed Coons interpolation formula. Here, a conjecture is formulated, which claims that the meaning of the involved blending functions can be enlarged, so that to include any linear independent and complete set of functions, including piecewise-linear, trigonometric functions, Bernstein polynomials, B-splines, NURBS and so on. In this sense, NURBS-based isogeometric analysis and aspects of T-splines may be considered as special cases. Applications are provided for the accuracy in the interpolation through the L2-error norm, of closed-formed functions prescribed at the nodal points of the transfinite patch, which represent the solution of partial differential equations under boundary conditions of Dirichlet type.

Published: December 2024

The present pilot study aimed to investigate whether common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1), both individually and in combination with variants of the catalytic subunit of glutamate cysteine ligase (GCLC) gene and environmental risk factors, are associated with the risk of psoriasis. The research included a total of 944 participants, comprising 474 individuals diagnosed with psoriasis and 470 healthy control subjects. Five common SNPs in the GSTO1 gene—specifically, rs11191736, rs34040810, rs2289964, rs11191979, and rs187304410—were genotyped in the study groups using the MassARRAY-4 system. The allele rs187304410-A (OR=0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.86, Pperm=0.02) and the genotype rs187304410-G/A (OR=0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.85, Pperm=0.01) were found to be associated with psoriasis in females. The model-based multifactor dimensionality reduction approach facilitated the identification of higher-order epistatic interactions between the variants of the GSTO1 and GCLC genes (Pperm<0.0001). These interactions, along with the risk factor of alcohol abuse, collectively contribute to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. This study is the first to demonstrate that polymorphisms in the GSTO1 gene, both individually and in combination with variants of the GCLC gene and alcohol abuse, are associated with an increased risk of psoriasis.

Published: December 2024

Carbon nitrides are polymeric materials with a broad extent of applications, including photocatalysis. Among them, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a low-cost material, is an excellent photocatalyst under visible light irradiation owing to its features such as correct band positions, high stability and non-toxicity. g-C3N4 is a metal-free material that is easily synthesized by polymerizing nitrogen-rich compounds and is an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for many reaction procedures due to its distinctive electronic structure and the benefits of the mesoporous texture. In addition, in situ or post-modification of g-C3N4 can further improve catalytic performance or expand its application for remediating environmental pollution. Water pollution from organic compounds such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals is increasing dramatically and is becoming a serious problem around the world. They enter water supplies in a variety of ways, including industrial and hospital wastewater, agricultural runoff, and chemical use. To solve this problem, photocatalysis is a promising technology. Without the use of other oxidative chemicals, g-C3N4 uses renewable solar energy to transform harmful pollutants into harmless products. As a result, much recent research has focused on the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 for wastewater treatment. For this reason, the main objective of this paper is to contribute a chronological overview of the bibliometrics on the g-C3N4 for the removal of pesticides and pharmaceuticals from water using the tools BibExcel, Bibliometrix and R-Studio IDE. A bibliometric analysis was performed using the Science Citation Index Expanded (WoS©) database to analyze the scientific literature published in the field over the last 10 years. The results were used to identify limitations and guide future research.
