Authors: Junaedi Junaedi , Yusuf Anas , Hidayat Rumanul
Published: April 2023

The president also reminded the National Police to reveal the case of Brigadier J as it is. This, said Jokowi, is to maintain the image of Polri in the eyes of the public. National Police Chief Gen. Pol. Listyo Sigit Prabowo confirmed that there was no shooting incident in the case of Brigadier J's death. Based on the results of the work of the special team, it is known that Bharata E allegedly shot Brigadier J on orders from Inspector General Ferdi Sambo alias FS. Then it was engineered that a shootout occurred; this was to make it appear as if a shootout had occurred. Brother FS shot J's weapon into the wall many times to make it appear as if a shootout had taken place; Ferdy Sambo became the director behind this murder, including those who designed a fictitious story to cover up the real incident. Then Bharada Eliezer was allegedly the executor who shot Brigadier J, which was carried out on orders from Ferdy Sambo. There were at least three roles played by Ferdy Sambo in this case, including 1).The first role played by Ferdy Sambo was to order the murder of Brigadier J. He ordered the suspect, Bharada E, to shoot Bharata J at his official residence at the Police Complex, Duren Tiga, South of Jakarta 2).The second role is to kill Brigadier J; 3).The third role is to design scenarios as if there was shooting action. Based on the results of the investigation, the four suspects were suspected of committing criminal acts following Article 340 of the Criminal Code on premeditated murder, a subsidiary of Article 338 of the Criminal Code on murder, and Junction Articles 55 and 56 of the Criminal Code on conspiracy. The threat of the death penalty, life imprisonment, or a maximum of 20 years in prison. In addition to criminal matters, Ferdy Sambo's actions are suspected of violating the Police's professional code of ethics. He is suspected of having behaved unprofessionally in handling the scene of the death of Brigadier J. along with 31 other police personnel who are currently being investigated for: 1).Violating Polri's professional ethics, 2). Obstructing the investigation process by eliminating evidence such as CCTV footage and autopsy process; 3). Committing unprofessional actions when handing over Brigadier j's body to the family in Jambi. As a result of this action, the Police locked up 11 officers in a special place related to the death of Brigadier J. So far, 11 officers have been locked up in special placements to undergo the provost's examination process.

Published: April 2023

The development of the banking world in Indonesia is very fast, dynamic and modern, both in terms of the variety of banking products as well as the quality of service and technology owned. Banking is increasingly dominating the economic and business development of a country, not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. The role of banks in the service sector has a very important role in improving service quality and satisfaction for its customers. For this reason, banking management can understand the factors that affect service quality. Islamic banks are financial institutions whose main business is to provide financing and other services in payment traffic and money circulation, whose operations are adjusted to the principles of Islamic law, namely based on the Qur'an and Hadith. , Bank Syariah Indonesia (IDX: BRIS; abbreviated BSI) is a bank in Indonesia that is engaged in Islamic banking. This bank is the result of the merger of Bank Syariah Mandiri, BNI Syariah, and BRIsyariah into one. Bank Syariah Indonesia became a sharia bank owned by HIMBARA (State-Owned Bank Association) with majority (controlling) shares held by Bank Mandiri, so it is considered a subsidiary company in the Mandiri Group.Islamic banks, especially Indonesian Islamic banks, have several superior products, one of which is sharia savings products. In sharia savings, Bank BSI has 2 types of contracts that can be chosen, namely by using wadiah and mudharabah contracts. Wadiah is an activity that includes the safekeeping of goods which is carried out between parties who want to do safekeeping and those who have the power to do safekeeping and gain trust with the aim of maintaining the safety, security, and integrity of the goods or money. Meanwhile, mudharabah is a form of cooperation agreement between the owner of the property and the manager of the property or mudharib. The owner of the property surrenders his property to another party for business. If it is profitable, the profits are divided between the owner of the property and the property manager in accordance with the agreement at the beginning of the agreement. The method used in this problem is descriptive method and associative method.. The results of this study are that there is a positive and quite strong influence between Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty in the Easy Wadiah Savings product of PT. Indonesian Islamic Bank with a correlation value of (+) 0.503. This means that the higher the customer satisfaction, the higher the customer loyalty.
Using XML to Improve Frameworks Reuse
Authors: Amaral Juliana Alves , Pietrobon Carlos Alberto Marques
Published: April 2023

This paper presents an approach to promote framework exchange through the use of XML standards. This exchange is quite important for developers’ teams who do not work at the same place neither the same environment, but need to collaborate in common projects. This paper combines the benefits of XML for defining, validating and sharing documents on the Web with the benefits of frameworks and object-oriented Unified Modeling Language (UML). UML-F-X, a extension of UML-F (an extension of UML for framework domain), is then proposed in this paper in order to take advantage of DTD concepts, reducing the semantic loss of framework-DTD mapping. By using standards for storing (UML) and sharing (XML) object-oriented frameworks, development teams using tools from multiple vendors can build and reuse applications in a distributed environment. The objective of this approach is to use the Web as a channel to exchange frameworks, stimulating then the use of this object-oriented technique among software engineers.

Environmental Epigenetics and Obesity
Authors: Ramirez-Diaz Ivonne , Lobato Sagrario , Perez-Gonzalez Andrea , Morales Alejandra , Rubio Karla
Published: April 2023

In recent years, increasing interest on the effects of dietary components on epigenetic processes and, consequently, on the regulation of gene expression and metabolic responses has led clinical efforts worldwide to approach obesity. When inadequate, food consumption leads to chronic and non-communicable diseases (CNCD) including obesity. Among the dynamic changes in cellular responses by nutritional interventions, epigenetic control represents a master regulator underlying both positive and negative effects of diet on body mass, including DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications and microRNA expression signatures. Indeed, mechanistical studies of the relationship between environment, diet and differential epigenetic landscapes are gaining attention on functional pathways involved in cell growth, DNA-repair, lipogenesis, senescence, inflammation, tumor suppression, apoptosis and oncogenesis. Being the dynamic interplay between epigenetics and obesity so complex, moreover considering a detrimental environment context, this chapter will discuss the state-of-the-art evidence showing the pollution impact on the different epigenetic mechanisms regulating an obese phenotype, and how these molecular events determine the organic interplay upon metabolic alterations, and finally we will introduce recent epidrugs and biocompounds of therapeutic interests due to their potential to modulate and even revert obesity-inducing epigenetic mechanisms.
Fire and Climate Change in the North American Great Lakes Pine Transition Forest
Authors: I. Apfelbaum Steven , Haney Alan
Published: April 2023

This chapter explores potential changes in fire regimes and biodiversity given projected changes in climate in the Great Lakes Pine Transition Forest (GLPF), a portion of the southern boreal forest. We have studied how forest structure, composition, and biodiversity changed over nearly 500 years by comparing communities on comparable edaphic locations of various ages since stand-replacing disturbance. Our interpretation of probable future changes is based on how these ecosystems have reassembled after wildfire, blowdown, and insect disturbances in the past and projections of climate change in the next 75 years. Rapid climate change is now introducing different conditions from those to which this ecosystem was historically adapted, and therefore, projections of future change are more subjective.

Published: April 2023

The cases of ethical issues (new and unfamiliar daily circumstances) are increasing every day in palliative care services. The role of the codes of ethics is to help with these problems. The goal of end-of-life care for dying patients is to prevent or relieve suffering and respect the patient’s wishes and values. The benefits of ethical decision-making are relief of pain, improving the patient’s recovery, reducing the side effects of treatment, prevention of depression, and increasing quality of life. An essential component of the ethical decision-making processes may concern patients’ family members and society. However, physicians, healthcare teams, and nurses are facing difficulties in ethical challenges in end-of-life care. It should also protect the patient’s rights, dignity, beliefs, and religion. Healthcare professionals should understand the principles of ethics, ethical legal documents, advanced care planning, and ethical conflict to help patients make the best decision possible. The ethical principles guide healthcare professionals in the management of these situations and the problem they face in end of life care. In this chapter, we will cover the consideration regarding the ethical principles, ethical issues, ethical challenges, and dilemmas during the palliative care. The cases of ethical issues are increasing every day in the palliative care service.
Immune Response to Chlamydia
Authors: Aydın Tığlı Gül
Published: April 2023

Following the chlamydial exposure, a series of events occur in the host belonging to the innate and adaptive immune systems. The first line of defense against chlamydial infections is mucosal secretions contain various antimicrobial peptides. The complement system that can be part of defense is triggered by elementary bodies of Chlamydiae. Chlamydiae that escape from the complement system infect the epithelial cells. Chlamydiae are protected from phagolysosome fusion by generating inclusion formation. However, they are recognized by pattern recognition receptors (PRR), mainly Toll-like receptor 2. Chlamydia-PRR interaction can be resulted by cytokine/chemokine secretion. The first innate immune cells that reach the infection site are natural killer (NK) cells and neutrophils. The most important contribution of NK cells to this pathogen is the production of high levels of IFNγ. Neutrophils are effective in reducing the load of Chlamydia and shortening the duration of infection. The relationship of neutrophils with pathology is also discussed. Recognition of MHC class II-restricted Chlamydia peptides presented by dendritic cells via CD4 T cells initiates an adaptive immune response. IFNγ-mediated Th1 immune response is essential for Chlamydia clearance. CD8 T cells, which are fewer in numbers, have been suggested that they are the main cause of infection-related immunopathology. B cells and antibodies were found to be particularly effective in preventing reinfection.
Polymerase Chain Reaction: Applications in Gene and Cell Therapy Studies
Authors: Murphy Jacqueline , Herr Kate , Vepachedu Venkata
Published: April 2023

The rapidly developing fields of gene and cell therapy allow us a platform to repair or replace defective genes or introduce a missing gene. AAV and lentivirus are common viral vectors used in gene therapy to deliver a DNA payload to a tissue of interest. Recently, self-replicating RNA-based vaccines and therapies are also becoming increasingly popular for gene therapy after the success of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. Cell therapy is the transplantation of human cells without or with ex vivo modification utilizing CAR-T and stem cell technology. Because PCR allows us to detect transgenes with high sensitivity, we can leverage this technology to quantify the efficacy of a therapy and long-term expression in vivo using both qPCR and RT-qPCR, respectively. PCR provides information that is used to justify first in human dose, toxicological evaluations, efficacy through PK/PD relationships, monitor persistency and shedding as well as biomarker and gene expression quantitation. As evaluation of safety endpoints is critical to drug development, PCR is imperative in the field of clinical pharmacology discovery.
Molecular Histopathology of Mammary Carcinogenesis as Approach to Cancer Prediction and Prevention
Authors: Ayu Oktavianie A. Pratama Dyah
Published: April 2023

Breast/mammary cancer is the most frequent type of cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in humans and animals worldwide. The incidence of mammary cancer is continuously increasing worldwide. This increasing trend is attributed partly to the little information on the early changes occurring during mammary gland carcinogenesis. The lack of molecular information on mammary carcinogenesis has impeded the identification of clinically relevant tumor markers beyond histopathology and the introduction of new therapeutic concepts. Numerous factors, molecular and cellular pathways are involved in mammary tumor development and carcinogenesis. To characterize some of the early molecular changes of mammary carcinogenesis, mammary cancer was induced in female rats using the environmental carcinogen 7,12 dimethylbenz (α) anthracene (DMBA) combined with estrogen. Analysis of histopathological alterations in the tissue can observe the process of mammary cancer development. At the molecular level, some genes act as functional components in regulating cancer development, including tumor suppressor genes, oncogenes, and DNA repair genes. In this chapter, the histopathological alterations and the advanced of molecular histopathology stages of breast cancer progression are mainly discussed, including on animal models induced by DMBA-estrogen combination as an effort for cancer prediction and prevention.

Aging is a natural and inevitable process of change experienced by every living being. Old age can be defined as the irreversible loss of biological and mental functions as a result of the physical and mental decline of the individual, and the decrease in the body's potential to balance between internal and external factors. Individuals go through a process of physical, mental and social change while aging, and they may encounter many problems such as chronic illnesses, discrimination, abuse, neglect, social isolation, loneliness, and poverty. It is very important for individuals to live their lives biopsychosocially healthy, active, successful and happy and to cope with the problems they experience in the aging process. Art therapy, which includes the development of coping and problem-solving skills, is a psychosocial intervention used in older individuals. Different types of art therapy can be used in many problems elderly individuals face such as depression, dementia, loneliness and hopelessness. It is stated that art therapy enables the elderly to relax physically, supports autonomy, increases socialization and sharing, reduces functional impairment and improves self-confidence. In addition, art therapy is described as an extremely effective method in conditions such as dementia, depression and loneliness, which are common in elderly individuals. Art therapy, which is included in the nursing intervention classification, can also be used by nurses to increase the quality of care.

Abiotic Stress and Plant Physiology, Volume 02: Productivity
Authors: Bhattacharya Amitav
Published: April 2023

Abiotic stress factors frequently constrain the growth and productivity of major crop species. The single greatest abiotic stress factor that limits crop growth worldwide is water availability. While genetic increases in yield potential are best expressed in optimum environments, they are also associated with enhanced yields under drought and nitrogen deficiency. These gains are especially relevant given that further large increases in the area under irrigation are not expected, and land deterioration associated with intensive agriculture threatens those areas already irrigated. This book is intended to cover all known factors of abiotic stresses and their respective effects on some of the important aspects of physiological processes in plants. • Abiotic Stress and Crop Yield • Physiology of Grain Legume Yield Under Abiotic Stress • Photosynthesis and Physiological Parameters Under Intercropping Condition • Role of Growth Regulators Under Abiotic Stress • Plant Water Relationship Under Abiotic Stress • Dry Matter Partitioning Under AbioticS tress • Effect of Pesticides on Physiological Processes in Plants

Abiotic Stress and Physiological Process in Plants
Authors: Bhattacharya A
Published: April 2023

This book is intended to cover all known abiotic stresses and their effects on the various aspects physiological processes in plants. The first chapter deals with introduction and the introductory remarks on abiotic stress and overall effects of different factors on crop. Second chapter deals with aspects of seed germination, seedling growth and root development under stressful condition for different factors of abiotic stress. Third chapter is a contributory chapter and deals with different aspects of biological nitrogen fixation under abiotic stress. Fourth chapter deals with growth, development and phenology of crop plants under environmental stress condition. Various aspects of photosynthesis under abiotic stress have been discussed in the fifth chapter. Mineral nutrition under abiotic stress condition and roles of different nutrient to overcome abiotic stress has been discussed in Sixth chapter. Seventh chapter discussions have been provided regarding transgenic approach to enhance drought tolerance and it is a contributory chapter. Eighth chapter is about the effects of different factors of abiotic stress on respiration processes of plant have been discussed. These review chapters addresses how knowledge of the physiological mechanisms of crops can improve crop yield. The study of crop physiology can assist cereal breeding by: i) improving our understanding of the factors that determine crop yield and adaptation through the syncretic concept of ideotype and, consequently, improve crop simulation models; ii) defining particular “secondary” traits to select (analytical breeding) when choosing: iii) indicating the kind of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with potential for development and how to test them; and iv) phenotyping associated with marker-assisted selection.

"Extension education is no more an out -- of -- school education alone. The science and practice of extension has been found useful for environment, health, education, small industries as well. There have been many changes in the way extension should be organized. Privatization of extension is seriously being considered, extension has also been added as the third dimension of general universities as well, participatory methods of extension are being tried and new information technologies are finding application in providing useful information to farmers, scientists and students communities. The book "Advances and Challenges in Agricultural Extension and Rural Development" covers the applications of areas like extension education, extension educational technology, administration and management, human relation in development administration and human resource development, participatory approaches, recent approaches in extension techniques, extension strategies for changing agricultural scenario and rural development, transfer of technology efforts, and recent advances in research methodology which has highly innovative methods of applications and implementation. This book would prove helpful to the extension and rural development workers in planning and manipulating communication strategies. Besides that it will be useful to the students in the field of extension and rural development. This book will be very helpful to the researchers, planners, policy makers in planning and decision-making regarding agricultural extension and rural development."
Advances in Crop Production and Climate Change
Authors: Yadav A.S.
Published: April 2023

In recent years India has made notable advances in the fisheries. Progresses made in refinements of vessels, new line materials and line-handling systems, preserving the catch, the availability of oceanographic-sensor equipments and the utilization of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds have greatly improved the fishing power of longline vessels. Post harvest technology of fish has evolved in the last one decade to a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and quality upgrading technology. Since fresh fish can get spoiled very quickly, the development of technology for post-harvest preservation and methodology to convert fish to value added products have also become popular in recent times. Value addition helps in getting high price for the fishery products. There is a need to develop competent human resources in the field of post harvest management of fish and production of value added products from them. It is required to inculcate vocational and entrepreneurial skills in order to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and the disadvantaged sections of the society as well as to enable self employment.
Advances in Cereals Processing Technologies

The present book presents its reader with comprehensive knowledge related to cereals processing. It is imperative to have sound knowledge of Food laws and regulations with an Indian perspective as these plays a pivotal role in commercializing food products as well as fresh produce which is aptly covered in this book. It includes recent trends in technology of cereals based products, technological updates in legumes and pulses based convenience/ processed foods, various aspects of evolution of Bakery and confectionery technology, Technological evaluation of milling. Since age's process of fermentation was employed for preserving the cereals based food by using general and specified micro flora and micro fauna. The science and technology involved is well explained in chapter titled Fermented foods based on cereals and pulses.  The most important quality attributes related to cereals processing are rheological and thermal changes which occur when extrinsic factors such as moisture and temperature are ebbed and flowed. This subject was sensibly covered under Rheological & thermal changes occurring during processing. Sugarcane and sugar industry have the largest contribution to the industrial development. Various unit operations and technology involved are explained as Recent updates in sugar, honey, jaggery and salt processing. Self life stability of the products with respect to various chemical parameters attributed to the oxidative changes in processed Foods and is also aptly covered
Genological media alternative: Column as an antigenre
Authors: Stanojević Dobrivoje , Mirkov Lidija
Published: April 2023

In the age of digital content, information does not reach people only through standard and established linguistic and genre forms. In addition to hybrids, it is possible to experience many other genres in public, in accordance with the context of current reality. The first journalistic genre singled out from the world of literature -the column -today is not just small-scale literature. There are currents in it that we can observe from the angle of literary and journalistic studies because it retains the standardized genre properties, giving new dimensions of meaning. There is little genealogical research in the field of media. Preserving the features of traditional genres is as difficult as shaping new genres that can be labeled as alternatives. The column in public discourse today is not neglected, but, on the contrary, it attracts the attention of young generations (weeklies, portals, new media platforms such as YouTube or Ted talk). The column as a counter-genre is a proven "habit" of the text to take shape against expectations. The columnist himself determines his genre boundaries. The ironic-parodic, negative, nihilistic side of the column stems from the uncertainty of journalistic discourse. The constant meandering of the form affects its perception. The anti-genre features of the column make it critically oriented towards genealogical conventions. The column has no strict conventions, other than conventions breaking conventions and trying to be "unconventional." The column pushes the boundaries and meanings of genres and contributes to the decentralization of contemporary media discourse. It is becoming the new structural dominant of contemporary journalism.
