Published: April 2023

This study intends to analyze methane gas emissions resulting in landfill procedures. The magnitude of the impact of methane gas emissions on global warming from the waste sector, it is necessary to calculate the potential amount of methane gas emissions of Padang city waste in the Air Dingin Landfill so that it can be used for new energy potential as an alternative energy to replace fossil fuels no longer as a contributor to global warming. In this study, the methodology contains systematic steps in researching to achieve research objectives, namely conducting preliminary studies and literature studies, formulating problems, and setting research objectives as well as how to collect and obtain research data. The result of this study is that the Air DIngin Landfill in Padang City is still processing open dumping, with land that has been operated around 50% of the existing land area. The high operational costs are one of the reasons the sanitary landfill system cannot be done by the Padang City Government.  Methane gas produced from 2020 - 2031 in the Air Dingin Landfill is produced from scenario 1 (waste directly landfilled) which is 43,289 gigagrams of CH4 or 43,289 tons of CH4 emissions. CH4 emission scenario 2 (waste reduction by waste pickers in landfill) produced 43,267 gigagrams or 43,267 tons of CH4. CH4 emission scenario 3 (Reduction of waste at source, in the region, and in landfill) produced 40,944 gigagrams CH 4 or 40,944 tons of CH4. After converting methane gas into electrical energy, the potential electricity in scenario 1 is 84.15 megawatts, scenario 2 is 84.10 megawatts and scenario 3 is 79.59 megawatts in 2031.

Sharia E-Wallet: The Issue of Sharia Compliance and Data Protection
Authors: Hamsin Muhammad Khaeruddin , Halim Abdul , Anggriawan Rizaldy , Lutfiani Hilda
Published: April 2023

Sharia digital payments have lately emerged as one of the most significant innovations and breakthroughs in the field of Islamic economics in Indonesia. However, behind the positive side of the use of sharia e-wallets, there is one thing that all parties involved need to pay attention to, which if ignored can become a double-edged sword for its users, namely compliance, security, and personal data protection. The paper aims to investigate how the Indonesian government regulates data privacy for Islamic e-wallet users. It also investigates the potential risks and challenges of Islamic digital payments particularly in regard to data protection. Besides, it also investigates whether or not the sharia e-wallet has complied with the Fatwa of National Sharia Council (DSN-MUI). The study used normative research methods employing statutory, case, and conceptual approaches. This study reveals that the use of sharia e-wallets in Indonesia is essentially in compliance with Islamic principles as stated in the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council. As for the protection of personal data, in fact, this has been regulated in a comprehensive manner by the government and related state institutions such as Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority. However, the government still has work that must be considered in regard to the compliance of sharia digital payment operators with established laws and regulations, where in the event of the operators violated the use of data privacy, thus they will face a severe sanctions stipulated by the prevailed rule.

Published: April 2023

Banana (Musa spp.) is one of the agricultural commodities that’s widely cultivated and used by the local community. Currently, only 101 types of local varieties of bananas are registered in Indonesia; one of them is the Roid banana from Jatigede District. Roid bananas grow wild without any mandatory special care. Continuous use without any conservation and preservation efforts can lead to scarcity of Roid banana germplasm as a genetic resource. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the distribution and diversity of Roid bananas through in situ exploration and characterization activities. This study aimed to identify the potential for genetic diversity and develop conservation efforts for the local variety of Roid banana (Musa spp.) in Jatigede District. This research was conducted from November 2021 - March 2022 in three villages in Jatigede District: Ciranggem Village, Jemah Village, and Mekarasih Village. The research used exploratory, survey, and interview methods as data collection techniques. Based on the results of the study, Jatigede District has a wide genetic diversity and distant kinship among Roid banana accessions. Characters that contributed to genetic diversity among accessions were the width of the midrib margin, the diameter of the bunch, and the length of the pseudostem. MS1.3 was the selected accession with its potential characteristics: more combs in bunches, leaf width of 71-80 cm, leaf length of 171-220 cm, and the number of rhizomes > 5 tillers.

Strategi ‘Jari Manis’: Pemertahanan Tenun Ikat di Tengah Krisis Regenerasi Penenun di Desa Julah Bali Utara
Authors: Yudha Pramiswara I Gusti Agung Ngurah Agung , Mardika I Putu
Published: April 2023

The Julah Village in North Bali is known for its traditional ikat cloth crafts. However, the number of weavers is currently declining, which is due in part to the regeneration problem. This research examines factors contributing to the shortage of ikat weaving, and it comes to the conclusion that the absence of regeneration in the inheritance process is the primary cause. Following closely behind is the need for a variety of processes in weaving production, and finally, a prolonged and expensive process for producing ikat. There are a number of initiatives that can be performed to help encourage younger generations to be interested in weaving, such as socialization, enculturation, and collaboration using tradition-based regulations. The lack of Julah Traditional Ikat weaving signifies that it's impracticable to perform religious rituals, which is the implication of scarcity in the religious system. This article offers Jari Manis strategy (Julah Mandiri, Manjemen, Investasi or Julah Independent, Management, and Investment) to stimulate weaving production, including for the local younger generation.

Published: April 2023

In response to an empirical study on scarcity cues in COVID-19, the present study offers a model of the relationship between scarcity cues and revisit intention by integrating perceived value and sensory brand experiences (SBE). The moderation mediation model (MOD MED) was tested using 426 respondents who were university students in Jakarta. The results of the analysis show that scarcity cues have a negative impact on perceived value and revisit intention. The process model has been confirmed through the role of perceived value in the scarcity cues relationship. SBE in this study has an essential role as a bearing for the negative effect of scarcity cues on perceived value and revisit intention. Hence, this study offers a theoretical contribution to the proposed model and a practical one regarding the effectiveness of "scarcity cues" marketing strategies.

Published: April 2023

Objective: In this study, we aimed to analyze the effects and underlying mechanisms of LPM570065 on behavioral phenotypes in rats with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).Methods: The chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats were used to observe the results of LPM570065. Total 72 male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into control, vehicle (0.5% CMC-Na), LPM570065 (32 mg/kg) and diazepam (3 mg/kg) groups, 12 rats in each group. Anxiety-like behaviors of rats were observed by elevated zero maze test and novelty-suppressed feeding test. Depressive-like behaviors of rats were detected by forced swimming test. DNA methylation in hippocampi of rats were measured by reduced representation bisulfite sequencing (RRBS). In hippocampi of rats, expressions of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) 1 and DNMT3a proteins were measured by western blot, and density of dendritic spines was observed by Golgi staining.Results: Compared with the control group, the weights of rats were obviously decreased (p < 0.001) and the rats showed anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors (p < 0.001) in the vehicle group. Compared with the vehicle group, the weights of rats were significantly increased (p < 0.001) and the anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors were improved (p < 0.001) in the LPM570065 group. The results of RRBS showed that there were 49964 promoters showed hypermethylation in the LPM570065 treatment rats contrasted to the vehicle treatment rats. In addition, these promoters were enriched in signal transduction and immune function. Furthermore, the expressions of DNMT1 and DNMT3a were significantly decreased, the density of dendritic spines was significantly increased in hippocampi of LPM570065 treatment rats compared with the vehicle treatment rats.Conclusions: LPM570065 ameliorates anxiety-like and depressive-like behaviors in CUMS rats, and its mechanism is possible associated with downregulating DNA methylation in hippocampus.

La plus secrète mémoire des hommes: la consolidación de la littératuremonde en el campo literario francés
Authors:   Universidad de Málaga (España), MARÍN HERNÁNDEZ David
Published: April 2023

The award in 2021 of the Goncourt prize to La plus secrète mémoire des hommes, by the Senegalese Mohamed Mbougar Sarr, represents a new step in the consolidation of the «littérature-monde». In this paper, we will analyse those aspects of this novel that best illustrate this new deterritorialized narrative that forces us to trascend strictly national frameworks in the study of literature. We will also delve further into the characteristics of these novels written by migrant authors who have been distinguised by their cultural hybridization, who draw from multiple literary traditions and feature postmodern narrative techniques. Those thematic and formal aspects in which this last Goncourt prize deviate from the preceding generations of French-speaking African authors will also be studied.
L’oubli de la complexité et la mémoire de l’essence : représentations des ethnies Hutu et Tutsi après les indépendances
Authors:   Universidade de Coimbra(Portugal), SCHURMANS Fabrice
Published: April 2023

"This article examines the characteristics of the Africanist ideology in the novel Afrique, afrique (Marchal, 1983). In the first part, it addresses how this ideology understood Central Africa, namely by reducing the complexity of reality to a few general characteristics. Then it examines how the post-independence expressions of the Africanist Text rely on metonymy and overgeneralization as a way of describing the main ethnicities of Rwanda and Burundi. This is ultimately to highlight that regardless of their institutional status, symbolic goods written after independence reproduce colonial knowledge without questioning it, like in de Villiers’s SAS broie du noir (1967) and Hatzfeld’s La Stratégie des antilopes (2007)."

This work examines the influence of Pierre Restaut's grammatical works, the Principes généraux et raisonnés de la grammaire françoise, par Demandes et Réponses (1730) and the Abrégé des principes de la grammaire françoise (1732a), in the history of French language teaching abroad in the 18th century. These grammars were intended in principle for French speakers wishing to master their language through the rules. They also served as a propaedeutic to learning Latin, but their success was not confined to the French territory. Indeed, in the second half of the 18th century, there were numerous examples of collection and translation of these two works. They were also published in many countries such as: Italy, Germany, Russia, Poland, England and Spain.

Method: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among female undergraduate students in which departments were selected by using a lottery method and a simple random sampling technique was used to select 214 female students from each department. Data was collected by using a selfadministered, structured questionnaire from April to May 2022. The data was entered into Epidata and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) window software. Result: A total of 214 respondents were enrolled in the study giving a response rate of 100%. About 133(62.8%) of respondents had a good knowledge of Breast Self- Examination and Breast Cancer. Nearly half 106(48.5%) of the study participants have practiced breast self-examination at least once in their life. There were three main reasons for not doing the examination. Conclusion: This study discovered that more than half of the study participants have a piece of good knowledge about BSE. However, the vast majority of study subjects never engaged in BSE. The concerned bodies should create awareness about breast self-examination.

NORSE occurs secondary to multiple etiologies including a rare diagnosis of Hashimoto Encephalopathy (HE). The mechanism of HE is not fully understood. Most reported patients with HE are hypothyroid or euthyroid at the time of presentation. Patients with HE commonly present with subacute clinical features, namely behavioral changes, and rarely with the acute presentation of status epilepticus. We report a case of a 14 years old female presenting with New Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus (NORSE) and clinical hyperthyroidism, subsequently developing behavioral symptoms with multiple relapses requiring various treatment modalities including pulse steroid therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin therapy, plasmapheresis and eventually partial thyroidectomy.
Contained Spontaneous Saphenous Vein Graft Rupture Status Post CABG: Optimal Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment
Authors:   Department of Medicine, University of Medicine and Pharmacy at Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, QD Ha
Published: April 2023

Spontaneous rupture of Saphenous Vein Graft (SVG) is a rare complication status post Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery (CABG). Its pathophysiology could depend on several factors including increased vessel wall stress, the size and thickness of the vessel. The optimal approach to diagnose and manage spontaneous SVG rupture remains unclear. Here, we describe a case of a 73-year-old man with a 14-year history of triple vessel CABG who presented with 8 months of chest pain and was found to have contained spontaneous SVG rupture. The chest pain was completely resolved after successful implantation of a covered stent. Learning Points: Spontaneous rupture of SVG is worth to be considered in the differential diagnoses of chest pain status post CABG. Along with patients’ comorbidities, coronary angiogram to provide information about anatomy and hemodynamic flow can contribute to individualize the management.

Excited-state singlet-triplet inversion in hexagonal aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds
Authors: Sobolewski Andrzej L. , Domcke Wolfgang
Published: April 2023

The inversion of the energies of the lowest singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) excited states in violation of Hund’s multiplicity rule is a rare phenomenon in stable organic molecules. S1-T1 inversion has significant consequences for the photophysics and photochemistry of organic chromophores. In this work, ab initio computational methods were employed to explore the possibility of S1-T1 inversion in hexagonal polycyclic aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Although the singlet-triplet energy gap ΔST = ES1 – ET1 decreases with increasing size of hexagonal polycyclic aromatics, it remains positive up to kekulene (19 rings). However, symmetric substitution of C-C pairs by B-N groups in the interior, keeping the conjugation of the outer rim intact, results in compounds with robustly negative ΔST. The non-overlapping pattern of the densities of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is identified as the decisive criterion for S1-T1 inversion. These findings establish the existence of a new family of boron carbon nitrides with inverted singlet-triplet gaps.

We have experimentally demonstrated conclusive evidence of solvent-to-chromophore excited state proton transfer (ESPT) as a deactivation mechanism in a binary complex isolated in the gas phase. The above was achieved by determining the energy barrier of the ESPT processes, qualitatively analysing the quantum tunnelling rates and evaluating the kinetic isotope effect. The 1:1 complexes of 2,2’-pyridylbenzimidazole (PBI) with H2O, D2O and NH3, produced in a supersonic jet-cooled molecular beam, were characterised spectroscopically. The vibrational frequencies of the complexes in the S1 electronic state were recorded using a resonant two-colour two-photon ionization method coupled to a Time-ofFlight mass spectrometer set-up. In the PBI-H2O, the ESPT energy barrier of 43110 cm-1 was measured using UV-UV hole-burning spectroscopy. The exact reaction pathway was experimentally determined by isotopic substitution of the tunnelling proton (in PBI-D2O) and increasing the width of the proton transfer barrier (in PBI-NH3). In both cases, the energy barrier was significantly increased to > 1030 cm-1 in the PBI-D2O and to > 868 cm-1 in PBI-NH3. The heavy atom in PBI-D2O decreased the zero-point energy in the S1 state significantly, resulting in the elevation of the energy barrier. Secondly, the solvent-to-chromophore proton tunnelling was found to decrease drastically upon deuterium substitution. In the PBI-NH3 complex, the solvent molecule formed a preferential hydrogen bonding with the acidic (PBI)N-H group. This led to the formation of a weak hydrogen bonding between the ammonia and the pyridyl-N atom, thus, increasing the proton transfer barrier width (H2NH‧‧‧Npyridyl(PBI)). The above resulted in increased barrier height and decreased quantum tunnelling rate in the excited state. The experimental investigation, aided by computational investigations, demonstrated conclusive evidence of a novel deactivation channel of an electronically excited biologically relevant system. The variation observed for the energy barrier and the quantum tunnelling rate by substituting NH3 in place of H2O can be directly correlated to the drastically different photochemical and photo-physical reactions of biomolecules under various microenvironments.

Copper plating of industrial components is common. However, the application of copper to moving parts is limited due to its poor tribological properties. In this study, a novel nickel-flashed, graphene nanoplatelet-reinforced copper matrix coating (referred to as ML(Ni)) on AISI 52100 steel exhibited stable and long-lasting friction coefficients (μ < 0.2) that were substantially lower than from similarly-prepared coatings that omitted nickel and graphitic material. Chemical, structural and mechanical analysis of the wear tracks on ML(Ni) after pin-on-disk testing identified key contributions that promote lubrication synergy. Moreso, the roles of individual components (Ni, Cu and GnP) within ML(Ni) were probed in detail to demonstrate that its hybrid composite structure is a promising candidate for use in high-load engineering applications.
