Published: December 2023

Single-molecule immunoassay is a reliable technique for the detection and quantification of low-abundance blood biomarkers, which are essential for early disease diagnosis and biomedical research. However, current single-molecule methods all require signal amplification via labelling, which brings a variety of unwanted consequences, such as matrix effects and autofluorescence interference. Here, we introduce a real-time mass imaging-based label-free single-molecule immunoassay (LFSM-immunoassay). Featuring plasmonic scattering microscopy-based real-time mass imaging, a 2-step sandwich assay format-enabled background reduction, and minimization of matrix effects by dynamic tracking of single binding events, the LFSM-immunoassay enables ultra-sensitive and direct protein detection at the single-molecule level in neat blood sample matrices. We demonstrated that the LFSM-immunoassay can measure sub-femtomolar levels of interleukin-6 and prostate-specific antigen in whole blood with 8 log dynamic range. To show its translational potential to clinical settings, we measured NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) in 28 patient serum samples using a 20 minute LFSM-immunoassay, and the results show a strong linear correlation (r > 0.99) with clinical lab reported values.
Drug Trade in Peru
Authors: Mickelson David
Published: December 2023

This paper covers the effectiveness of the United States’ anti-narcotics policy against Peruvian Coca farming in the 1980s. It finds that a supply-side oriented approach to targeting drug use, which made use of extradition, interdiction and eradication of relevant “players” was an ineffective strategy at curbing global cocaine use. It also highlights how this policy failed to account for or curb the emergence of the Shining Path, as well as Peru’s bureaucratic inefficiencies which, through organizations like ENACO, continued to make illicit coca production highly profitable for farmers.
Ruination of Sacred Space in Hawaii
Authors: Cialone Bianca
Published: December 2023

The planned construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii reflects the island’s long and historical struggle with colonialism, particularly within the astronomy industry. This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between colonialism and Indigenous space in Hawaii by framing Mauna Kea as a site of colonial ruination. Rather than mere defunct “memorialized monuments”, Ann Stoler defines ruination as the physical and psychological debris left over from periods of colonization and how they seep into the present social and political present of those subject to colonialism. Manifested through the discourse, ideology, and violence behind the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope, this paper posits that Mauna Kea is an example of an active site of ruination of Indigenous space as a result of Hawaii’s past with colonialism and empire.
Lessons from Montréal
Authors: Gil Aden
Published: December 2023

The 1986 Montréal Protocol was an unprecedented success in the United Nations campaign to tackle climate change. The Protocol was the first piece of UN legislation to achieve universal ratification and successfully stopped the deterioration of the ozone layer. This paper analyzes how two key factors - consumer action and a narrow legislative focus - allowed for the Protocol to successfully regulate multi- national corporations at a global level. Further, the paper discusses the failures of the Kyoto Protocol and Paris Accords when considering the capacity in which the protocols regulate corporations and induce significant environmental change, and last, provides recommendations for future UN climate negotiators.
Adaptation and Validation of the Mental Health Continuum Long Form (MHC-LF) in Indonesia: A Psychometric Analysis
Authors: Sari Novita , Inskandarsyah Aulia , Purwono Urip
Published: December 2023

The study aims to adapt and validate the MHC-LF in Indonesia. The sample used was 315 participants (29 client group and 286 general group. Psychometric property analysis was carried out, including item analysis, reliability estimation using test-retest and internal consistency, and collecting validity evidence based on test content, internal structure, and relationships with other variables. The results showed that psychological well-being item number 10 and social well-being number 3 had insignificant loading factor values. MHC-LF reliability is high, with r= 0.85-0.94. This shows that the score produced by the MHC-LF is stable over time, and the items that compose it have internal consistency and are unidimensional. The expert panel judgment provides evidence that all MHC-LF items are relevant to measured aspects. Confirmatory factor analyses confirmed the three-factor model of emotional, psychological, and social well-being. MHC-LF is positively correlated with WEMWBS and negatively correlated with BDI-II. The difference in the mean scores of each subscale and the total significantly differed between the general and client groups. The validity evidence proves that the MHC-LF is a measuring tool that measures subjective well-being. The systematic judgmental scale provides evidence that the measurement tool for the translation results is equivalent to the original version.

Published: December 2023

This descriptive qualitative research was conducted to describe the problem-solving strategies of junior high school students on Pythagorean theorem material. The source of the research data was 23 students of class IX SMP Pontianak in the academic year 2022/2023. From this research, it is known that the variety of strategies in solving mathematics problems are trial and error, making illustrations of pictures or diagrams, trying simpler problems, making tables, finding patterns, working backward, considering several possibilities, and simplifying problems. The strategies that were widely used were trial and error (38.04%), making pictures or diagrams (17.39%), finding patterns (27.17%), and working backward (15.22%). Generally, subjects were able to understand the problem by finding the known and questionable information in the problem, only a few had difficulty formulating the problem. Similar cases were also identified when planning problem-solving strategies, most students were able to construct mathematical models and formulate problems, although there were also those who did not do this stage. In other variations, some students made illustrations of pictures or diagrams, found patterns, and worked backward. An important finding of this study is that subjects have a deep understanding of mathematical problems, and the ability to plan strategies and apply them appropriately affects students' success in solving problems.

Authors: Sari Nurlia , Faizin Akhmad , Fakhruddin Muhammad , Dani Agus
Published: December 2023

The quality of production goods, especially milling on aluminum material, is considered good if it is characterized by good surface quality of the components and efficient (short) machining time. There are various factors that affect this. This study investigated the CNC milling machining parameters, namely depth of cut and step over, which were written as the influence of the number and direction of cuts on the surface quality and machining time of aluminum materials. The purpose was to obtain the appropriate parameters so that the machining process is more efficient and with the appropriate quality. The CNC milling used was CNC Dahlih with a 6mm diameter tool, feed rate of 460 mm/min, and rotational speed of 2800 RPM. The variables were vertical cutting direction (depth of cut 5mm) with variations in step over of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm, and horizontal cutting direction (step over 5mm) with variations in depth of cut of 0.5mm, 1mm, and 2mm. So that the number of cuts can be equalized to 4, 6, and 12 in the vertical and horizontal cutting directions. The results showed that the more cuts, the lower the surface roughness, but it increased the machining time.
Savvy or Slimy Upward Influence: The Unintended Effects of Perceived Political Culture and Tactics on Employee Perceptions of Leader Trustworthiness
Authors:   Korean Academy Of Management, Park Sanghee
Published: December 2023

This study integrates attribution theory and target-observer differences with
a social information processing perspective to investigate how political perceptions
that are organizational culture-related versus supervisor-specific (in the
form of upward and supervisor-focused ingratiation tactics) interact to influence
subordinates’ perceptions of their leader’s trustworthiness. Using a latent moderated
structural (LMS) approach with a two-wave panel of 607 individuals,
this study found that subordinates’ perceptions of leaders’ upward ingratiation
tactics (Time 1) attenuated positive changes in their perceptions of the three
attributes of leader trustworthiness (ability, benevolence, and integrity) from
Time 1 to Time 2. However, when perceptions of leaders’ upward ingratiation
tactics were high and present within an organizational culture perceived as
highly political, the opposite was true; there was a strong positive relationship
between perceived leader trustworthiness (integrity) at Time 1 and positive
changes in perceived leader trustworthiness. Conversely, when perceptions
of leaders’ upward ingratiation tactics were low in highly political contexts,
there was a strong negative relationship between perceived leader trustworthiness
(integrity) at Time 1 and positive changes in perceived leader
trustworthiness. These findings reveal unintended effects of the fit between
two observed political contextual factors (leader ingratiation behavior and
organizational politics) on employees’ changing perceptions of leader
trustworthiness.

Authors: Weibull Wärnberg Anna , Brännström Johanna , Elvstam Olof , Gisslén Magnus , Månsson Fredrik , Sönnerborg Anders , van de Klundert Maarten AA
Published: December 2023

Background

The global distribution of HIV-1 subtypes is evolving, which is reflected in the Swedish HIV cohort. The subtype HIV-1A6, which may be prone to developing resistance to cabotegravir, is the most common subtype in Ukraine.

Aim

We aimed to examine trends in HIV-1 subtype distribution in Sweden, with a special focus on HIV-1A6, and to describe the virology, demography and treatment of Ukrainian people living with HIV (PLWH) who migrated to Sweden in 2022.

Methods

Data about PLWH in Sweden are included in a national database (InfCareHIV). We used the online tool COMET to establish HIV-1 subtypes and the Stanford database to define drug resistance mutations. We investigated the relation between virological characteristics and demographic data.

Results

The early epidemic was predominated by HIV-1 subtype B infections in people born in Sweden. After 1990, the majority of new PLWH in Sweden were PLWH migrating to Sweden, resulting in an increasingly diverse epidemic. In 2022, HIV-1A6 had become the sixth most common subtype in Sweden and 98 of the 431 new PLWH that were registered in Sweden came from Ukraine. We detected HIV RNA in plasma of 32 Ukrainian patients (34%), of whom 17 were previously undiagnosed, 10 had interrupted therapy and five were previously diagnosed but not treated. We found HIV-1A6 in 23 of 24 sequenced patients.

Conclusion

The molecular HIV epidemiology in Sweden continues to diversify and PLWH unaware of their HIV status and predominance of HIV-1A6 should be considered when arranging care directed at PLWH from Ukraine.

Authors: Mohammad Latief  , Muhammad Fajar Pramono  , Shanaz Nurzaini Bey
Published: December 2023

The Study world is faced with inter-community conflict, which creates disparities in social life. From this, John Locke tried to bring up the theory and concept of justice to achieve a prosperous society, but John Locke's theory and concept of justice ended in social capitalism and the behavior of prejudicial others that comes with critics from the Westerns. So, the purpose of writing this paper is to criticize John Locke's theories and concepts of justice with several theories of justice from other scientists, reveal the positive and negative sides of the whole, then only take the positive side. The writing of this paper uses the analytical-descriptive method to describe the theory of justice by John Locke and several other scientists, then analyze it to reach criticism and the positive and negative sides. So then by writing this paper will contribute to the integration of John Locke's concept of justice with including Islamic values. The result of integrating the concept of justice is that John Locke plays a role in expressing that there is a lack of wishful thinking about John Locke's concept of justice and the Islamic concept that can gain prohibition demonstrating that the Islamic law concept can support any tone without compromising any side.

Authors: Amamur Rohman Hamdani
Published: December 2023

This study aims to explain the fatwas disseminated on YouTube social media. It explains why ustadz or Islamic preachers disseminate their fatwas on YouTube and what factors surround it. This study uses a qualitative method and an ethnographic approach, namely data collection using keywords to search engines for specific fatwa themes among three popular religious preachers: Ustadz Abdul Somad, Ustadz Adi Hidayat, and Ustadz Khalid Basalamah. The fatwas issued by Islamic preachers were analyzed using the theory of the Muslim public sphere from Dale F. Eickelman and Jon W. Anderson about moving narratives in cyberspace. The moving narrative allows the fatwa to be reached by people connected to the internet. This moving narrative creates a discourse war only possible through the Muslim public sphere. The selection of three popular preachers because they have different backgrounds in terms of thought which makes it possible for dialogue to occur in the form of moving narratives. This research found that the moving narratives that occur in cyberspace are not only in the form of dialogue and contestation in the form of fatwas but are related to the religious authority they receive. Social media like YouTube allows them to gain authority because of the democratic nature that social media provides. This contrasts earlier forms of authority where social media had not yet been invented.

The effect of basalt fiber reinforcement at different ratios on the unconfined compressive strength of kaolin
Authors: ASLAN TOPÇUOĞLU Yasemin , GÜROCAK Zülfü
Published: December 2023

There are many materials used to stabilize or reinforcement low strength soils. While additives such as fly ash, lime, tuff, silica fume are preferred in stabilization works, fibers are used in reinforcement works. The use of fiber, which has emerged as an alternative to traditional methods, has become widespread. The most preferred fiber types in soil reinforcement are glass, polypropylene and basalt fibers. Basalt fiber, which is produced from basalt rock and widely distributed in nature, was chosen as a reinforcement material in this study, which is increasingly used due to its high strength, economic, environmentally friendly, natural and many other superior properties. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of basalt fiber ratio on strength in low plasticity kaolin clay reinforced with basalt fiber. For this purpose, unconfined pressure tests were carried out on cylindrical samples prepared by adding 6 mm long basalt fiber at different rates to clay and compressing it at optimum water content. In the samples reinforced with basalt fiber, the maximum strength was obtained in the sample with 2% basalt fiber ratio. It was determined that the strength decreased in samples with higher basalt fiber content.
Developing a Sample Frame from Multiple Sample Frame Sources and Fielding a Survey to State and City Leaders
Authors: Kovac Martha , Clusen Nancy , Coopersmith Jared , Bell Nadia , Newton-Hoe Emily
Published: December 2023

A critical driver of population health, well-being, and equity is making health a shared value, or the belief that health is a priority for oneself and one’s community. For people in positions of influence, attitudes regarding their organization’s perspective may result in decisions that advance health equity or reinforce inequities, yet little is known about leaders’ attitudes regarding their organization’s perspective on what shapes health, or how their attitudes translate into actions that improve population health. We conducted a mixed-mode survey from fall 2020 to spring 2022. The objectives of the survey were (1) to understand leaders’ attitudes regarding their organization’s perspective on population health and (2) to identify the attitudes associated with leaders’ perspectives regarding their organization’s intention to engage in behaviors that advance population health. Findings from this survey will fill the gaps in the evidence base regarding what people in positions of influence think about social determinants of health and health equity, as well as their attitudes regarding their organization’s perspective. A major challenge for the study was identifying the sample frame, meant to provide a list of all U.S. leaders at the city and state level covering ten sectors. We identified five sample frame sources from which we pulled and constructed a sample frame. We sampled 17,400 organizations and obtained completed surveys from 5,450 leaders, achieving a 32 percent response rate. We used the best sample frame sources we knew of to develop our sample frame. The percent of contact information we obtained from the five sample frame sources was high, and rates of ineligibility were low. Response rates varied widely by sector. Survey respondents tended to be slightly more male and very slightly more White compared to the full eligible sample, and more liberal than the general population.

Published: December 2023

Mangrove forests have tangible and intangible benefits, but mangrove deforestation and degradation in Indonesia are relatively high due to economic reasons. Mangroves can contribute economically by considering social and economic characteristics, such as natural dye on traditional fabrics. Unfortunately, studies on mangroves' potential as a natural fabric dye and their relationship with social and economic potential are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the feasibility, prospects, and challenges in developing natural dyes from mangroves for traditional fabrics. Through field observations in the Leuweung Sancang Nature Reserve in Garut Regency, interviews, and literature studies, this study used a descriptive approach with SWOT and financial analysis. At least three mangrove species can be used as natural dyes to produce brown color variants: Bruguiera gymnorrizha, Rhizophora mucronata, and Rhizophora apiculata. The strategic location, with an intense fabric industry and high community motivation, provided opportunities to develop mangrove dye products. The business was feasible and resistant to the economic crisis. However, even though the community knows the mangrove benefits of natural fabric dyes, there was no development practice because of no assistance in processing. Supports from the government, forestry extension agents, NGOs, and universities are essential for mangrove conservation while improving livelihood and economic welfare through the mangrove natural dyes business.

Published: December 2023

The use of media can help teachers to explain abstract mathematical concepts so students can more easily understand the material provided. However, teachers in elementary schools in Cluster IV, Sekarbela subdistrict, have difficulty using mathematics media or teaching aids and HOTS-based evaluation. This is because almost all teachers rarely use mathematics teaching aids in their classroom and they don't have props or they do but don't know how to use it. Therefore, teachers need to be empowered to implement HOTS-based teaching aids and evaluations by providing training. The training methods include discussions and demonstrations in using mathematics teaching aids as well as simulations in the use of HOTS-based teaching aids and evaluation in mathematics learning in the classroom. This service activity was carried out at an elementary school in Sekarbela District, with 18 elementary school teachers participating. Evaluation of activities is carried out by post-test. The results show that the teachers participating in the activity: (1) are enthusiastic and active in participating in the activity, (2) can practice using mathematics and GeoGebra teaching aids well, (3) give a positive response to the usefulness of teaching aids or learning media, and (4) able to describe at least 5 geometric shapes correctly on the post-test given

Published: December 2023

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have a very important role in the Indonesian economy. The main problem that MSMEs often face is how to carry out appropriate financial strategies in business management. One of them is the calculation of the Cost of Goods Sold (HPP) which has quite a significant influence in terms of sales escalation. Gading Bersinar UMKM is an association of small and medium traders in the Curug area, Depok.
