Published: May 2024

Tanggung renteng menjadi salah satu upaya pertanggungjawaban bersama pada perusahaan grup ketika terdapat pihak ketiga yang dirugikan. Namun dalam penerapannya, seringkali menimbulkan ketidakadilan dikarenakan belum adanya aturan terkait pertanggungjawaban perusahaan induk terhadap perusahaan anak. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui tanggung renteng perusahaan grup perspektif Hukum Perusahaan dan Hukum Islam. Jenis penelitian ini normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tanggung renteng terhadap perusahaan induk merujuk pada KUHPerdata dan pasal 3 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 40 Tahun 2007 tentang Perseroan Terbatas mengingat perusahaan induk dan perusahaan anak masih menjadi komponen hukum perseroan. Kedudukan perusahaan induk dan perusahaan anak yang terpisah secara yuridis tidak lantas menghapuskan tanggung jawab perusahaan induk selaku pemegang saham ketika terdapat pihak ketiga yang dirugikan. Tanggung renteng pada perusahaan induk merupakan solusi yang tepat dan sesuai dengan konsep al-‘Adl dalam arti persamaan hak sebagaimana terdapat pada surah An-Nisa ayat 58 dan 135. Apabila nominal ganti rugi dihitung berdasarkan kesalahan yang dilakukan akan menimbulkan ketidakadilan dan merugikan salah satu pihak. Solusinya diharapkan segera dibentuk pengaturan khusus terkait perusahaan grup untuk menciptakan kepastian hukum.

Divergent learning responses to a spatially consistent olfactory stimulus in two reef shark species

Published: May 2024

There is growing evidence of the important role learning plays in shark foraging, but few studies have examined the relationship between learning and foraging behavior in free-living settings. We addressed this knowledge gap by experimentally contrasting responses of blacktip reef Carcharhinus melanopterus and sicklefin lemon Negaprion acutidens sharks to an olfactory-only feeding stimulus—baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS)—that was either spatially randomized (as a control) or offered repeatedly at the same location in the lagoon of Tetiaroa, French Polynesia. Relative to their response to the randomized BRUVS, blacktip reef sharks appeared to sensitize to the repeated treatment, exhibiting increasing relative abundance upon introduction of the cue (maximum number of individuals of a species observed on any frame of a video [MaxN] at deployment) and decreasing arrival times as the experiment progressed. By contrast, sicklefin lemon shark responses were either consistent across control and treatment BRUVS over time or suggested habituation (as evidenced by declining MaxN in response to the spatially repeated exposure). Accordingly, our findings advance our understanding of shark cognition by highlighting that sensitized learning responses to stable feeding cues can develop even when the olfactory attractant is not accompanied by a reward, while also indicating that shark responses to these cues can be species-specific. They also suggest that, for at least some shark species, olfactory cues alone could lead to learned responses that confound non-invasive efforts to monitor shark populations and communities (e.g. with BRUVS) and drive spatial behavior with the potential to affect both ecotourism and negative human-shark interactions.
Various colors of resilience in the face of disease-related challenges
Authors:   , van der Laan Sabine Elena Ineke
Published: May 2024

Nowadays, one in four individuals under the age of twenty-five is living with one or more chronic conditions. Youth living with a chronic condition experience disease-related challenges and more often develop depressive symptoms and behavioral problems compared to their healthy peers. However, there are large inter-individual differences, and not all youth with similar chronic conditions experience similar difficulties; many children and adolescents seem to be resilient. Yet, what exactly does the term "resilience" encompass? Over the years, resilience researchers have portrayed resilience in various colors. This thesis aimed to better understand the various colors of resilience in adolescents facing disease-related challenges. It is divided into two parts. The first part of this thesis focused on resilience in the face of the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions in youth, while the second part explored resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This thesis begins with a scoping review investigating the definitions and measures of resilience used in the pediatric field. This review revealed that, at present, no unified approach is used in pediatric healthcare research to define and measure resilience due to variations in definitions and measurement tools across articles. We recommend using the definition introduced by Kalisch et al.: “resilience is a dynamic process that involves adaptation to a stressor leading to the maintenance or quick recovery of mental health”. Using this definition, this thesis investigates resilience in three distinct studies by tracking the mental wellbeing of adolescents with chronic conditions before, during, and/or after facing disease-related adversities. Our study populations included individuals with cystic fibrosis, adolescents with asthma, and adolescents diagnosed with various chronic conditions, ranging from having an autoimmune disease or a congenital heart disease to a general pediatric condition.

The second part of this thesis focused on the resilience of healthy adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic by investigating whether adolescent mental wellbeing changed during various lockdown periods with varying stringencies compared to pre-pandemic levels. Moreover, this thesis evaluated the mental wellbeing of adolescents with and without chronic conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic to gain insight into who might function more resiliently during the pandemic.

In conclusion, this thesis explored various colors of resilience by drawing insights from the literature, by identifying new research avenues for disease-related challenges, and by examining strategies to integrate resilience research into pediatric healthcare. Through these efforts, I have endeavored to paint a more complete picture of resilience in the face of disease-related challenges.
Social Influence and the Energy Transition
Authors:   , Schneider Philipp Tobias
Published: May 2024

How people influence each other with regards to adopting sustainable behaviors is a major scientific and societal question. This is particularly relevant within the context of the energy transition. While much research has focused on determining the effectiveness of specific social influence mechanisms, there remains a gap in understanding the underlying mechanisms that determine their success. Through a multifaceted approach including lab experiments, survey studies, and a field experiment, this thesis explores these issues. It finds that the effectiveness of a social influence mechanism for simple behaviors may not translate to complex ones, and the degree to which a behavior is gradual does not seem to influence its adoption rate among social networks. Furthermore, sharing social influence information within networks can lead to both desired and undesired behavior changes. In sum, this thesis reveals that social influence mechanisms are not universally applicable tools for achieving homogeneous adoption, but rather their effectiveness is contingent on contextual factors.

It has long been a coveted idea to combine the motivational aspects of games with learning in formal education. Digital educational games have indeed shown potential in this respect. However, individual educational games demonstrate large variations in (learning) outcomes. Ensuring that learning and gameplay are integrated with each other appears to be the key to obtaining higher learning outcomes. This is referred to as intrinsic integration. This dissertation adds to the body of knowledge on the characteristics that make educational games effective, realizing that no easy fix exists. To use a game in formal education, students should be able to transfer their acquired conceptual knowledge from the game context to other scenarios. This is possible by embedding the game in other learning activities. This dissertation describes four studies that were conducted to answer the main research question: How can a digital intrinsically integrated game be designed and implemented in a lesson fostering conceptual knowledge and transfer regarding Newtonian mechanics? Findings of our studies provide more insight on how students learn using a digital educational game. We developed a guiding frame for designing an intrinsically integrated game. Our studies demonstrate the benefits of embedding an educational game within other learning activities. Based on our findings, we give practical recommendations for such learning activities. Our studies provide an in-depth analysis, giving more insight on students’ learning and providing recommendations for others who want to venture into the wonderful world of game didactics.

In Kolipadan Village, Ile Ape District, Lembata Regency, the emphasis on family economic capability has created chances for women to maximize the varied family welfare potentials. Several factors include husbands who have passed away, husbands who don't have a stable career, and husbands who earn a livelihood overseas (migration).  To help raise family income, a variety of initiatives and opportunities are used, including the regional specialty, namely titi corn, also known locally as Wata Kena'e in Kolipa Village and Ileape District, Lembata District. This study seeks to understand the role of female heads of home in boosting family income to satisfy family requirements through selling titi corn. In this study, the sale of titi corn in particular, is examined, along with the selling price and technique of processing. Both primary and secondary data were used in this investigation. Interviews with 25 female head-of-household respondents in Kolipadan Village provided the primary data. Secondary data comes from data-related offices, namely population density and the number of female workers. A qualitative technique and descriptive analysis were both used in the data analysis for this investigation. The findings demonstrated that women significantly contribute to raising family income by processing corn titi. For one kilogram of corn, titi corn processing costs IDR 10,000 in raw materials and takes a half-day to complete. Titi corn is sold for between IDR 50,000 and IDR 100,000 per kilogram. Monthly revenue from corn sales ranges between IDR 500,000 and IDR 1,500,000. In order for the family to be able to meet its fundamental needs, social and psychological needs, and developmental needs and be considered affluent, women must be the head of the household and must work to improve the family's economics.

Emerging adulthood is a transitional period from adolescence to adulthood. During this time, there are many sources of stress due to uncertainty, which can lead to mental health disorders, especially for female individuals. Based on previous literature, mindfulness and self-efficacy against uncertainty can be protective factors for female emerging adults (EA) in facing this period. This study aims to examine the relationship between mindfulness and self-efficacy on uncertainty among emerging adult women. The study utilizes a quantitative approach with a correlational method. Two measurement tools are employed in data collection: the Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) and the Self-Efficacy on Uncertainty Scale. The participants of this study consist of 121 female students aged between 18 and 25 years, distributed in Jakarta. The results of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between mindfulness and self-efficacy on uncertainty. The higher the level of mindfulness among emerging adult women, the higher their self-efficacy on uncertainty, and vice versa, the lower the level of mindfulness, the lower their self-efficacy on uncertainty. The variation in mindfulness can account for 12.96% of the variance in self-efficacy on uncertainty, and vice versa, the variation in self-efficacy on uncertainty can explain 12.96% of the variance in mindfulness.

The Changing Nature of Policing Studies in Türkiye
Authors: Baygeldi Merve Reyhan , Arslan Alp Cenk , Şahin Yusuf
Published: May 2024

In Turkey, policing has been profoundly influenced by a heritage rooted in traditional law enforcement models derived from both Ottoman and global mentalities. This research addresses the reflections of the dynamic nature of policing reality in academic publications, examining the evolution of these studies both in content and structure. To this end, it presents a quantitative content analysis of the changing character of policing studies in Turkey, encompassing all publications produced up to 2023. A meticulously compiled dataset of 389 different articles from DergiPark, Turkey's online publication service and editorial workflow management system for academic journals, was utilized. Using a content scanning form, fundamental information such as publication year, author background, subject matter, and research methodology was systematically extracted. The data underwent descriptive analyses in SPSS, including frequency and cross-tabulation, to reveal significant trends and patterns. The findings demonstrate that Turkey's shifting political landscape has had a substantial quantitative and qualitative impact on policing research. Looking back over the years, it is evident that during coup periods, the content of police activities was quantitatively limited and lacked diversity. However, in periods without or with unsuccessful coups, there was a noticeable increase in the diversity and quantity of research. Despite advancements in policing studies, more methodologically rigorous and targeted research is needed to thoroughly examine the reality of policing in the academic field.

Published: May 2024

The aim of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), rubella and cytomegalovirus (CMV) and the primary infection rates of these agents with avidity test in pregnant women in Muş province. Additionally, the effect of prevention and protection measures implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic on the prevalence of T. gondii, rubella and CMV in pregnant women was also investigated. Between 2018 and 2021, IgG and IgM antibodies in the serum samples of pregnant women who applied to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics polyclinic of Muş State Hospital were examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA). High and low avidity assays were examined by enzyme linked fluorescence assay (ELFA). Low seroprevalence of T. gondii IgG antibody (28%) and the detection of low avidity detection in 38 of 102 pregnant women indicate that this parasite may be a risk for intrauterine life. Rubella IgG (89%) and CMV IgG (99%) antibodies were found to carry a low risk due to their high seroprevalence and avidity. It was determined that Covid-19 prevention and protection measures caused a significant decrease in the prevalence of rubella and CMV, but had no effect on the prevalence of T.gondii.

Introduction: In HIV-positive patients, the risk of diabetes and the existence of metabolic syndrome have been discounted. Goals: Assessing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and contrasting the FINDRISC-based diabetes mellitus risk classification in HIV-positive individuals. Methodology: from January 2016 to December 2018, 760 persons with HIV were included in a cross-sectional study. The ATP-III criteria were used to assess the existence of metabolic syndrome, and the FINDRISC was used to assess the diabetes risk score. Information gleaned from health records was connected. Measures of association in the inferential statistical analysis will be odds ratios. The Mann-Whitney test or Student's T test was utilized while dealing with numerical or quantitative variables. Findings: Of the comorbidities, smoking accounted for 66.8%, followed by hypercholesterolemia (52%), and arterial hypertension (32%). The results of the FINDRISC showed that 646 patients (85%) had low risk, 98 patients (12.8%) had moderate risk, and 16 patients (2.2%) had high risk. There was statistical evidence of a link between a relatively high FINDRISC and a low CD4 count of fewer than 200 cells and a high viral load. Conclusions: Among individuals infected with HIV, a significant proportion of patients had both a moderate and high risk of diabetes. Given that cardiovascular risk factors are often linked to negative outcomes of this kind, it is important to take them into consideration. Of particular, patients with HIV may be at increased risk of developing diabetes.

Fungi are microorganisms that live heterotrophically, are saprophytic, and parasitic. Fungi can be grown in-vitro or in-vivo in the laboratory using Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media. The limited availability of PDA can be overcome by looking for new alternative media derived from materials that are easily obtained based on the potential of natural resources in the immediate environment. The research aims to test avocado fruit as an alternative medium for the growth of Fusarium sp. The research used descriptive exploratory methods and the data were presented in the form of tables, graphs, and figures. The results showed that the growth of Fusarium sp. fungi in avocado fruit media (ripe and unripe avocado fruit media) had better growth than the control. This is characterized by the average diameter of colony growth reaching 93 mm at 96-120 hours after incubation, while on PDA media the average diameter of colony growth reaches 93 mm at 168 hours after incubation. In conclusion, avocado fruit media (Persea americana Mill.) can be used as an alternative media for the growth of Fusarium sp.

Objetivando intervir com as demandas apresentadas nos estabelecimentos de estágio, foram elencados diferentes tópicos reflexivos que transitam entre as deficiências de espaço, financiamento e comprometimento do próprio poder público para o atendimento de forma integral a saúde da mulher, pontuando o compromisso ético, estético e político da Psicologia enquanto ciência e profissão junto a essas usuárias.
A graph model to describe the network connectivity of trabecular plates and rods

Published: May 2024

Introduction: The trabecular network is perceived as a collection of interconnected plate- (P) and rod-like (R) elements. Previous research has highlighted how these elements and their connectivity influence the mechanical properties of bone, yet further work is required to elucidate better the deeply interconnected nature of the trabecular network with distinct element formations conducting forces per their mechanical boundary conditions. Within this network, forces act through elements: a rod or plate with force applied to one end will transmit this force to a component connected to the other end, defining the boundary conditions for the loading of each element. To that end, this study has two aims: First, to investigate the connectivity of individually segmented elements of trabecular bone with respect to their local boundary conditions as defined by the surrounding trabecular network and linking them directly to the bone’s overall mechanical response during loading using a mathematical graph model of the plate and rod (PR) Network. Second, we use this model to quantify side artifacts, a known artifact when testing an excised specimen of trabecular bone, where vertical trabeculae lose their load-bearing capacity due to a loss of connectivity, ultimately resulting in a change of the trabecular network topology.

Resuts: Connected elements derived from our model predicted apparent elastic modulus by fitting a linear regression (R2= 0.81). In comparison, prediction using conventional bone volume fraction results in a lower accuracy (R2= 0.72), demonstrating the ability of the PR Network to estimate compressive elastic modulus independent of specimen size or loading boundary condition.

Discussion: PR Network models are a novel approach to describing connectivity within the trabecular network and incorporating mechanical boundary conditions within the morphological analysis, thus enabling the study of intrinsic material properties of trabecular bone. Ultimately, PR Network models may be an early predictor or provide further insights into osteo-degenerative diseases.

Stem cell spheroid is a promising graft substitute for bone tissue engineering. Spheroids obtained by 3D culture of STRO1+ Gingival Mesenchymal Stem Cells (sGMSCs) (sGMSC spheroids, GS) seldom express angiogenic factors, limiting their angiogenic differentiation in vivo. This study introduced a novel stem cell spheroid with osteogenic and angiogenic potential through 3D co-culture of sGMSCs and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) (sGMSC/HUVEC spheroids, GHS). GHS with varying seeding ratios of sGMSCs to HUVECs (GHR) were developed. Cell fusion within the GHS system was observed via immunofluorescence. Calcein-AM/PI staining and chemiluminescence assay indicated cellular viability within the GHS. Furthermore, osteogenic and angiogenic markers, including ALP, OCN, RUNX2, CD31, and VEGFA, were quantified and compared with the control group comprising solely of sGMSCs (GS). Incorporating HUVECs into GHS extended cell viability and stability, initiated the expression of angiogenic factors CD31 and VEGFA, and upregulated the expression of osteogenic factors ALP, OCN, and RUNX2, especially when GHS with a GHR of 1:1. Taken together, GHS, derived from the 3D co-culture of sGMSCs and HUVECs, enhanced osteogenic and angiogenic capacities in vitro, extending the application of cell therapy in bone tissue engineering.

In seismic nuclear monitoring, attenuation models are important prerequisites for reliably estimating the explosive yield in an uncalibrated region without the occurrence of standard events. The seismic moment obtained by fitting source spectra is related to the source energy. This approach is appropriate for estimating yield, as the attenuation effects on the propagation path can be accurately considered. In this study, we collected 2022 vertical component waveforms in and around the Korean Peninsula from May 2010 to May 2022 to construct a high-resolution broadband Lg-wave attenuation model and inverted the Lg-wave source excitation spectra of the nuclear explosion simultaneously with attenuation correction. We obtained the scalar seismic moments by fitting the theoretical source spectra based on the Brune (J. Geophys. Res., 1970, 75, 4997–5009) model. Under the given emplacement conditions and burial depths, the seismic moments can be used to estimate yields of the North Korean nuclear tests, which are 4.6, 8.5, 19.9, 20.9, 24.7, and 337.4 kt for six nuclear explosions that occurred between 2006 and 2017. Our results are consistent with those obtained from previous teleseismic observations.

Most students with disabilities spend the majority of their school day in general education classrooms, yet most general education teachers do not feel prepared to meet the diverse learning and social and emotional needs of these students. A key to the enactment of evidence-informed practice for creating and supporting meaningful learning experiences for students with disabilities is the preparation of general education teachers. In this article, we conceptualize the key features of high-quality teacher preparation that support general education teachers to teach students with disabilities. We illustrate how these features have been addressed in one equity-focused elementary teacher education program and provide recommendations and questions to consider for teacher preparation programs and future research. Recommendations for teacher preparation include (1) naming disability in guiding principles and program documents, (2) examining ableism, (3) integrating universal design for learning, and (4) navigating policies and practices together within higher education.

Introduction

Firefighters are exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) during fire suppression, but the extent of PAH penetration through turnout gear and its impact on blood cell components remains uncertain. The main objective of this study is to investigate the residual levels of PAHs on turnout gear and skin, and to assess their potential effects on blood cell components in firefighters. We hypothesize that firefighting activities lead to increased PAH exposure, which in turn may induce alterations in blood cell composition. We also hypothesize that differences in PAH exposure and corresponding blood cell changes will be observed between volunteer and career firefighters.

Methods

Forty-seven firefighters were recruited from 11 fire departments in Oklahoma. PAH levels on gear and skin were measured, and complete blood count (CBC) parameters were analyzed. Parametric and non-parametric tests were used to examine differences in PAH exposures and hematological profiles between volunteer and career firefighters and possible changes over time. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) models were performed to assess the relationships between PAHs and blood cells.

Results

Our analysis revealed significant hematological differences between volunteer and career firefighters, with volunteers exhibiting lower aerobic capacity and higher systemic inflammation. Increased levels of specific PAHs were found on volunteers' gear post-fire.

Conclusion

Our findings indicate an association between PAH exposure and changes in blood parameters, emphasizing the need for improved decontamination protocols and protective measures, particularly for volunteer firefighters.
MIFAM-DTI: a drug-target interactions predicting model based on multi-source information fusion and attention mechanism

Accurate identification of potential drug-target pairs is a crucial step in drug development and drug repositioning, which is characterized by the ability of the drug to bind to and modulate the activity of the target molecule, resulting in the desired therapeutic effect. As machine learning and deep learning technologies advance, an increasing number of models are being engaged for the prediction of drug-target interactions. However, there is still a great challenge to improve the accuracy and efficiency of predicting. In this study, we proposed a deep learning method called Multi-source Information Fusion and Attention Mechanism for Drug-Target Interaction (MIFAM-DTI) to predict drug-target interactions. Firstly, the physicochemical property feature vector and the Molecular ACCess System molecular fingerprint feature vector of a drug were extracted based on its SMILES sequence. The dipeptide composition feature vector and the Evolutionary Scale Modeling -1b feature vector of a target were constructed based on its amino acid sequence information. Secondly, the PCA method was employed to reduce the dimensionality of the four feature vectors, and the adjacency matrices were constructed by calculating the cosine similarity. Thirdly, the two feature vectors of each drug were concatenated and the two adjacency matrices were subjected to a logical OR operation. And then they were fed into a model composed of graph attention network and multi-head self-attention to obtain the final drug feature vectors. With the same method, the final target feature vectors were obtained. Finally, these final feature vectors were concatenated, which served as the input to a fully connected layer, resulting in the prediction output. MIFAM-DTI not only integrated multi-source information to capture the drug and target features more comprehensively, but also utilized the graph attention network and multi-head self-attention to autonomously learn attention weights and more comprehensively capture information in sequence data. Experimental results demonstrated that MIFAM-DTI outperformed state-of-the-art methods in terms of AUC and AUPR. Case study results of coenzymes involved in cellular energy metabolism also demonstrated the effectiveness and practicality of MIFAM-DTI.
