Authors: Dos Santos Olga Maria Assunção Pinto
Published: October 2023

Theoretical benchmark: Starting from a theoretical framework that addresses the multiplicity of roles inherent to the Social Educator, we wanted to understand the work developed by five undergraduate interns from the Social Education course at a higher education institution in Portugal, who stayed for four months, February to May, in the 2019/2020 and 2020/2021 academic years in various institutions, in São Tomé and Príncipe.
 
Method: Qualitative study, informed by descriptive and interpretative characteristics, seeks to understand and describe behaviors, feelings and ways of thinking and acting of the subjects participating in the study.
 
Results and conclusion: The paths followed by the interns, in their multiple roles, were an added value, making visible the importance of the role of the Social Educator in developing countries and, in particular, in the exercise of full citizenship in demanding and complex contexts that are aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is called for an increase in internships in the context of international cooperation, in developing countries.
Research implications: Need for the Social Education technician in developing countries, and especially in São Tomé and Príncipe.
 
Originality/value: Research carried out in São Tomé and Príncipe to highlight the valorization of the role of women, since this group was only female, in order to contribute to the reduction of socio-educational problems, associated with female and child poverty, which they still have a lot of expression on the Island of São Tomé and Príncipe.

Authors: Thao Le Thi
Published: October 2023

The implementation of the global minimum tax rule aims to create a level playing field in tax competition among countries and address issues such as tax evasion, tax avoidance, transfer pricing, and profit shifting—challenges that are particularly pressing in the current era of integration and globalization. Scheduled to take effect in Vietnam on January 1, 2024, this rule has significant implications for the country’s corporate income tax policy. This study employs legal analysis, statistical methods, and practical assessments based on secondary documents and expert opinions to evaluate the current state of corporate income tax policy in Vietnam, including its preferential investment policies. It explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the global minimum tax rule and its impact on the development and refinement of tax policies aimed at attracting foreign investment and ensuring sustainable development. The article addresses several key issues: (i) the neutralization of tax incentive policies; (ii) the taxing rights of the investing country; (iii) competitiveness in attracting investment; and (iv) recommendations for the Vietnamese government regarding law-making and effective enforcement. Using normative juridical and qualitative research methods based on secondary literature, this study analyzes the anticipated effects of the global minimum tax policy on Vietnam and examines the trends in legal and policy development, including efforts to reform and integrate international tax commitments.

From Particle-in-a-Box Thought Experiment to a Complete Quantum Theory?
Authors: Chen Jixin
Published: October 2023

While instructing an undergraduate physical chemistry course on quantum mechanics, I encountered difficulties in elucidating the concept of the particle-in-a-box thought experiment, initially formulated by Erwin Schrödinger. In particular, the node distribution of the wavefunction. Born's Copenhagen interpretation assigns the modulus of the wavefunction as the probability density distribution of particles. The developers of quantum mechanics, including Schrödinger, de Broglie, and Einstein, have openly expressed reservations about this interpretation. Schrödinger's original conception of the wavefunction is intrinsically linked to the particle's momentum rather than the statistical probabilities of particle locations. Because momentum can be encoded in different forms, it could be useful to create wavefunctions using different encoding equations, which is the major attempt of this manuscript. In addition to quantizing energy levels properly for several example systems, the proposed new equations have yielded a striking and alternative interpretation of Schrödinger's wavefunction that aligns well with classical mechanics. This proposed modification enhanced the simplicity of math and strengthened Schrödinger’s original interpretation. These equations could be baby steps to a brand-new quantum calculation algorithm that is simpler and faster than the established ones.

Published: October 2023

We synthesized two isoreticular furan-based metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), MOF-LA2-1(furan) and MOF-LA2-2(furan) with rod-like secondary building units (SBUs) featuring 1D channels, as sorbents for atmospheric water harvesting (LA = long arm). These aluminum-based MOFs demonstrated a combination of high water uptake and stability, exhibiting working capacities of 0.41 and 0.48 g of water per g of MOF (under isobaric conditions of 1.70 kPa), respectively. Remarkably, both MOFs showed negligible loss in water uptake after 165 adsorption-desorption cycles. These working capacities rival those of MOF-LA2-1(pyrazole), which has a working capacity of 0.55 g of water per g of MOF. The current MOFs stand out for their high water stability as evidenced by 165 cycles of water uptake and release. MOF-LA2-2(furan) is the first aluminum MOF to employ a double 'long arm' extension strategy, confirmed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). The MOFs were synthesized using a straightforward synthesis route. This study offers valuable insights into designing durable, water-stable MOFs and underscores their potential for efficient water harvesting.
Comparison of Machine-Learning and Classical Force Fields in Simulating the Solvation of Small Organic Molecules in Acetonitrile
Authors: Xun Sangni , Liu Fang
Published: October 2023

Machine learning force fields (MLFFs) have emerged as a new method for molecular simulation that combines the accuracy of ab initio approaches with the computational efficiency of classical force fields. However, the performance of MLFFs in describing the solvation configuration has yet to be explored. Here, we compare and contrast the performance of ANI-1ccx MLFF, the GAFF classical force field, and the ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) in simulating nine organic solutes in acetonitrile solvents. We examine the solvent-solute interaction described by these methods from four aspects: the solute conformation landscape, the solvation shell structure, the structure and dynamics of the O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, and the dynamics of the first solvation shell. For solute conformation description, ANI-1ccx and GAFF both yield minima that agree with density functional theory optimization for rigid solutes. However, their results diverge for flexible solutes. For solvation shell structure description, ANI-1ccx agrees better with AIMD on the location of the first solvent shell than GAFF does. For the description of the O-H⋯N hydrogen bond formed between acetonitrile and the solute, ANI-1ccx generates stronger hydrogen bonds with shorter bond lengths, wider bond angles, and longer hydrogen bond lifetimes, agreeing better with DFT-optimized structure. ANI-1ccx also describes a more frequent exchange of acetonitrile molecules in and out of the first solvation shell than GAFF. Our study demonstrates the potential benefits of utilizing MLFF for simulating solution-phase dynamics and generating solvation configurations.
Membrane Permeation of Psychedelic Compounds

Published: October 2023

Renewed scientific interest in psychedelic compounds represents one of the most promising avenues for addressing the current burden of mental health disorders. Classic psychedelics are a group of compounds that exhibit structural similarities to the naturally occurring neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT). Acting on the 5-HT type 2A receptors (5-HT2AR), psychedelics induce enduring neurophysiological changes which parallel their therapeutic psychological and behavioral effects. Recent pre-clinical evi- dence suggests that the ability of psychedelics to exert their action is determined by their ability to permeate the neuronal membrane to target a pool of intracellular 5-HT2AR. In this computational study, we employ classical molecular dynamics simulations and umbrella sampling techniques to investigate the permeation behavior of twelve selected tryptamines and to characterize the interactions that drive the process. We elucidate the impact of N-alkylation, indole ring substitution and positional modifications, and protonation on their membrane permeability. Dimethylation of the primary amine group and the introduction of a methoxy group at position 5 exhibited an increase in permeability. Morevoer, there is a significant influence of positional substitutions on the indole groups and the protonation of the molecules substantially increase the energy barrier at the center of the bilayer, making the compounds highly impermeable. All the information extracted from the trends predicted by the simulations can be applied in future drug design projects to develop psychedelics with enhanced activity
Eco Enzyme-Enhanced Constructed Wetlands for Greywater Treatment: Fixing Indonesia’s Onsite Treatment of Domestic Wastewater
Authors: Ciputra Felice
Published: October 2023

In many developing countries such as Indonesia, many cities lack centralized wastewater treatment plants to treat greywater. As a result, greywater is often directly discharged into water bodies without treatment, disrupting aquatic ecosystems by eutrophication and jeopardizing the health of rural communities that depend on these resources for clean water. Some greywater treatment systems exist but most of these projects require support from third parties and have high initial costs. One cost-effective and sustainable solution is to use constructed wetlands, which are artificial wetland systems engineered to treat sewage through natural processes. Constructed wetland mechanisms may be improved by the use of ornamental flowering plants and eco enzymes to increase efficiency and rate of contaminant removal. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of different ornamental flowering plant species and the use of eco enzymes on the removal rate of parameters such as COD, TSS, TDS, Ammonia, and pH. This paper presents the results and analysis of a 2- week study that determines the type of constructed wetland that resulted in the treated water with parameters that fulfil Indonesia’s domestic wastewater standard requirements. This type of constructed wetland is recommended to be implemented at the household, community or central (city) level to mitigate improper greywater disposal in developing countries.
The effect of natural dye from Caulerpa sp. microcapsules on jelly drink quality
Authors: Dewi E.N. , Purnamayati L.
Published: October 2023

Jelly drink is a hydrocolloid-based drink with a low gel consistency, making it easy to
consume. Dyes are food additives often added to jelly drinks to increase attractiveness.
However, synthetic dyes are known to negatively affect health. Caulerpa sp. macroalgae
are rich in chlorophyll pigment and have functional properties such as antioxidants and
can be used as an organic dye, replacing synthetic dyes. The purpose of this study was to
determine the effect of Caulerpa sp. microcapsules as a natural dye on the physical and
chemical properties of seaweed jelly drinks and to recommend concentrations. This study
used chlorophyll from Caulerpa sp. in microcapsules that were added to jelly drinks with
0–4,000 ppm concentrations with 1,000 ppm intervals. The drinks’ physical properties
were analyzed based on color, viscosity, dissolved solids, and syneresis level. The
chemical properties analysis covered sugar, dietary fiber, chlorophyll, and total phenol
levels, and antioxidant and organoleptic activity. The transition temperature of the jelly
drinks was analyzed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry. A higher concentration of
Caulerpa sp. microcapsules affected the characteristics of jelly drinks. The highest
addition of Caulerpa sp. microcapsules resulted in increased chemical characteristics,
however, lowered the soluble solids, degree of syneresis and panelist's acceptance. The
best concentration was found at 2000 ppm. The Caulerpa sp. microcapsules has the
potential as a natural colorant and improves product characteristics.

Published: October 2023

Spirulina platensis is a blue-green algae that contains bioactive compounds as a source of
antioxidants. Methanol is a polar solvent; it has similarities to the content of the bioactive
compound Spirulina platensis, which is polar. This study aimed to determine the effect of
different concentrations of methanol solvent (50%, 70%, 96%) using UAE on the content
of bioactive antioxidant compounds from Spirulina platensis. The parameters observed
were yield, antioxidant activity, phytochemical screening, and GC-MS. The results
showed that the difference in the concentration of methanol solvent using UAE
significantly affected the antioxidant activity of the Spirulina platensis extract. The
highest antioxidant activity was found in Spirulina platensis extract with 50% methanol
solvent concentration using UAE with an average inhibition value of 91.81%. The yield
value from the Spirulina platensis extract with a 50% methanol concentration was 9.3%.
The qualitative phytochemical screening test carried out on Spirulina platensis extract
with 50% methanol solvent using UAE showed positive results for flavonoid compounds,
alkaloids, tannins and phenols. GC-MS analysis on Spirulina platensis with 50% methanol
as a solvent using UAE resulted in 5 types of the most dominant compounds,
pentadecanoic acid, 9-Ooctadecenoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, hexadecanal, and 1-
nonadecene.

Optimizing Electrical Efficiency and Thermal Performance of AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Processor through Undervolting in Synthetic Benchmarks and Gaming Scenarios
Authors: Kharisma Rizqi Sukma , Wicaksono Ibnu Herlambang
Published: October 2023

Undervolt is a term that refers to a way to make a computer device run on lower electrical power than the manufacturer's provisions. To do undervolting requires a good experience for user and computer devices that are good or specialized for undervolt purposes such as processors. This study aims to find the optimal minimum voltage that the processor can use without causing performance degradation or instability, and temperature drops that the processor produces while it is running. In this study, the author tested a processor device with the type of AMD Ryzen that already supports the undervolting process from the factory. AMD Ryzen 3 2200G processor is one of the processors with 14nm fabrication, where this processor promises significant performance with the number of cores, memory chace capacity, and power efficiency. On this day, many games demand the use of an aggressive processor. Of course, this will consume power on a larger processor. The author conducted several test scenarios to get the best performance. It was found that the scenario with undervolt at 1.25V showed the best performance.

The crucial role in developing transformational leadership skills for the future is at the heart of business acumen today and while our model worked in this environment, we encourage additional experimentation using the magic spark model. In our experiment, we found a new way of leadership succession planning which is crucial for business success. Without selection and progression of leadership, the organizational life cycle will end with death. The magic spark model will help organizations better plan leadership succession and help them stay vital on the organizational life cycle. This article offers novel insights into the future of leadership succession planning. As executives across the globe develop a solid foundation that builds upon the idea of passing the torch (i.e., Succession Planning), they will be able to withstand any tumultuous activity facing organizations in our hypercompetitive work environment.
Development of a Theory That Explains Why Funders of Reward-Based Crowdfunding Campaigns Cancel or Decrease Previously Made Pledges
Authors: grace matthew
Published: October 2023

Crowdfunding research has primarily been composed of attempts to identify crowdfunding performance and success factors. A research gap exists concerning funder motivations and behaviors as well as the dynamics that occur with pledge changes during crowdfunding campaigns. Therefore, understanding funder motivations and pledging behaviors during reward-based crowdfunding campaigns was the focus of this inquiry. Using a grounded theory design, I conducted 18 individual semi-structured interviews with funders to understand why they canceled or decreased their already-made pledges to reward-based crowdfunding campaigns. A constant-comparative analysis of the interviews yielded a novel theory describing the factors that motivate and deter funders as well as the contexts in which they occur. The identified funder motivations are reward hunting, financial hardship, purchase later, cost, risk, competition in category, ethical concerns, satisfy others, and goal proximity. Deterrents include rarity and fear of missing out, impact, small company size, trust, and investment. An analysis of these motivations and deterrents in light of recognized crowdfunding success factors is shared, and implications for future reward-based crowdfunding research into funder motivations, behavior, and campaign dynamics are presented. Lastly, I present design principles that fundraisers can use to design and conduct their campaigns in a manner likely to decrease the number of funders canceling and decreasing their pledges while maintaining a plan likely to lead to campaign success or increased performance.
What strategies can motivate businesses to consider implementing ESG?
Authors: Gold Jeff
Published: October 2023

The problem addressed by this research is that some businesses are not motivated to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) into their plans. As a result, progress toward global sustainability has been impeded. The purpose of this study was to identity those strategies that motivate businesses to embrace ESG. Among the barriers impeding ESG is the lack of agreement whether it can coexist with corporate profit maximization goals and the insufficiency of standard measurements to assess its effectiveness. Another challenge is that businesses deal with diverse groups of stakeholders whose objectives may not coincide with corporate priorities. Among the key stakeholders are corporate boards who balance financial and ESG priorities while recognizing and maintaining the reputations/brands of their firms. One way to motivate businesses to embrace ESG is by integrating ESG initiatives into their strategic plans while focusing on finances, risk, board diversity, brand management, and stakeholder relationships. Since the key influencers of the business may include the next generation of leaders who are more attuned to sustainability needs, stakeholder theory is the lens through which this assessment was performed. I applied the principles of evidence-based management to address this problem and research gap involving business motivations to pursue ESG. I used the Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) methodology which entailed identifying the business problem and research question, conducting a literature review, searching for and evaluating evidence, and coding to develop results consisting of themes and actionable recommendations.
Assesing Marketing Strategy: Towards an integrated Maturity Model
Authors: Manuel Harraca Juan
Published: October 2023

Maturity models are a simple but powerful tool applied across an ample range of business disciplines. Originally emerging out of quality management and software engineering, these conceptual models help assess the quality of certain processes or strategies; and identify opportunities and actions needed to move to the next stage in maturity (Wendler, 2012). However, there is a lack of such a useful tool in the vast marketing management area of knowledge. Marketing textbooks and research are mostly focused on describing a set of definitions and proper conditions for marketing decisions, rather than having discussions on the way managers should make marketing decisions to improve the impact of those strategies (Wierenga, 2011). This needs to change.

Managers who are properly guided in the marketing strategy formulation process are benefitted by minimizing intended-realized marketing strategy gaps. They also tend to maximize the ability of the marketing strategy to achieve business goals and increase the quality of that business process. The proposed theory intends to answer two key questions: How could managers systematically improve their ability to assess the maturity of their current marketing strategy formulation process? How to develop marketing plans that, because of their content, result in an increased ability to be implemented and a potentially higher success rate? To answer these questions, I propose an integrated 5-stage Maturity Model that will help managers identify the maturity of their current marketing strategy, and determine proper areas for improvement, either in the formulation process or its content.

Negative factors indicating the imbalance of global and regional security assurance system are revealed. It is emphasized that understanding of military conflict development in the form of an “escalation ladder” will allow the political and military leaders to prevent the loss of controlability of the conflict. The main trends of military and political situation determining military dangers and threats to the Union State,as well as the peculiarities of its development in the medium- and long-term forecasts were revealed. It has been specified that challenges and threats to the military security of Belarus and Russia will be of a complex and multidirectional nature, affecting all spheres of their activities. The task of their foreign and military policies is strengthening international security and strategic stability on the global and regional levels. The main features of military conflicts and armed struggle in the XXI century are defined. It is concluded that peaceful development of the Belarusian state in the conditions of increasing military violence is possible under the condition of guaranteed provision of military security of the state. It is important to continuously forecast the international and military-political situation, to improve the military organization of the state, the unity of the state power, the army and the people of the country. The main military strategic task for the political elite of the state is to deter aggression in any of its manifestations.

Berdasarkan masalah yang telah diuraikan, terdapat 3 rekomendasi utama untuk pemerintah Desa Sendangsari dalam untuk mengimplementasikan model ekonomi sirkuler dengan penerapan pertanian-peternakan regeneratif, yakni sebagai berikut: Pemerintah Desa bersama dengan BUMDes, Kelompok Tani-Ternak dan Kelompok Perempuan perlu duduk bersama guna menentukan arah pengembangan desa dan pembagian peran masing-masing dalam rangka penerapan model ekonomi sirkuler pertanian-peternakan regeneratif. Pembagian peran ini juga bisa dilakukan dengan melibatkan INFID dan IPB sebagai mitra eksternal untuk peningkatan kapasitas SDM di masing-masing lembaga desa. Peningkatan kapasitas SDM perlu terus dilakukan, misalnya dengan melakukan pelatihan manajemen bisnis pakan dan pembuatan pakan sistem silase berbahan dasar limbah hasil samping pertanian pada anggota BUMDes. Selain itu, pelatihan yang menyangkut aspek pemeliharaan, pencegahan dan pengobatan ternak juga perlu terus menerus dilakukan dengan disertai pendampingan intensif. Pelatihan pemanfaatan pupuk kandang dengan metode bokashi untuk melakukan optimasi dan percepatan dalam produksi pupuk juga penting untuk dilakukan. BUMDes perlu segera menetapkan model bisnis yang akan dijalankan, tentunya dengan mengacu pada prinsip-prinsip penerapan model ekonomi sirkuler yang holistik dan integratif. Model bisnis ini juga bisa mengacu pada sistem canvas yang telah dijelaskan pada tulisan ini. BUMDes juga perlu mengganti orientasi sistem bisnis breeding dengan sistem penggemukan (fattening), serta mengganti ternak kambing dengan domba agar dapat melakukan optimasi luas kandang, tenaga kerja dan pasar untuk mendapatkan cash flow BUMDes yang sehat

Mempertimbangkan tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan (tujuan nomor 4 : Pendidikan Berkualitas), G 20 – Deklarasi Pemimpin Bali, 15-16 November 2022 di Bali, Indonesia dan Instruksi Presiden Republik Indonesia Nomor 1 Tahun 2023, dirasa perlu untuk merekomendasikan hal-hal sebagai berikut: Hasil kajian dapat diadopsi untuk memulai dimasukkannya kurikulum keanekaragaman hayati di sekolah menengah atas maupun kejuruan dalam bentuk ekstrakurikuler. Peningkatan kompetensi guru dan siswa dapat dilakukan dengan memasukkan konservasi keanekaragaman hayati dalam kurikulumnya salah satunya dengan mengadakan pelatihan para guru terkait teknik reklamasi lahan marginal, bioteknologi untuk konservasi tanaman terancam punah, serta bioprospecting (biodiversity prospecting) melalui Agro-Eco-Edu-Tourism. Pengembangan media sosial kampanye konservasi keanekaragaman hayati dan bencana alam yang lebih interaktif sebagai media pembelajaran dan bahan pembelajaran terkait hasil pembelajaran setiap mata pelajaran di SMA/SMK. Pembentukan jaringan antar Negara ASEAN dalam inklusi keanekaragaman hayati di sekolah menengah akan memperkuat dan mempercepat pencapaian Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan, khususnya Tujuan Nomor 4 yaitu menjamin kualitas pendidikan yang merata serta mempromosikan kesempatan belajar seumur hidup untuk semua orang, oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan kerjasama resmi antar mitra.

BSI sebagai perbankan syariah harus mengatasi keterbatasan modal kerja UMKM, yaitu dengan memberikan pembiayaan modal, berdasarkan UU No. 21 tahun 2008, bahwa perbankan syariah adalah seluruh hal mengenai bank umum syariah (BUS) dan unit usaha syariah (UUS), meliputi kelembagaan, kegiatan usaha, serta cara dan proses dalam melaksanakan kegiatan usahanya. Bank syariah memiliki fungsi perantara, yaitu melakukan penghimpunan dan penyaluran dana sesuai dengan prinsip syariah, seperti tidak menggunakan konsep bunga dan riba, tetapi menggunakan konsep bagi hasil dan menggunakan akad sewa atau jual beli. BUS dan UUS juga perlu mendorong pertumbuhan Dana Pihak Ketiga (DPK) dan mengatur nilai return of assets (ROA) dan financing to deposit ratio (FDR), karena variabel-variabel tersebut berpengaruh positif sehingga dapat meningkatkan proporsi pembiayaan modal kerja UMKM. Pemerintah sebagai regulator perlu mendorong pertumbuhan PDB agar perekonomian semakin membaik dan tetap stabil, mengingat produk domestik bruto (PDB) memberikan kontribusi terbesar dalam memengaruhi keragaman proporsi pembiayaan modal kerja UMKM

Berdasarkan hasil kajian direkomendasikan hak-hak berikut: Ekspor CPO ke India dan China sebagai pasar optimis, perlu dipertahankan, sementara di pasar malaysia dan Singapura yang berstatus pasar potensial perlu ditingkatkan daya saingnya. Ekspor RPO perlu dipertahankan dan ditingkatkan di pasar China, India, Pakistan, Mesir, Amerika Serikat, Rusia, Afrika Selatan, dan Turki yang memiliki pengembangan pasar optimis. Daya saing CPO yang cenderung menurun dan RPO yang meningkat, maka perlu meningkatkan hilirisasi CPO dengan memberikan insentif bagi investor pada industri pengolahan CPO menjadi RPO.

Strategi peningkatan pembangunan Kota-Desa menjadi layak huni dan investasi agro-maritim yang berkelanjutan membutuhkan dasar acuan dalam menyusun rencana pembangunannya. Kebijakan pemerintah yang terarah dapat dilakukan melalui kriteria kelayakan huni dan kelayakan investasi di sektor agro-maritim secara sistematis, cepat, dan berkesinambungan. Hal ini menjadi dasar dalam pegambilan intervensi dan penggunaan anggaran pemerintah untuk dukungan transformasi Kota-Desa dari tidak layak menjadi layak. Penerapan strategi pembangunan yang tepat akan mampu mentranformasi Kota-Desa ke arah yang lebih modern terintegrasi dengan jaringan bisnis secara vertikal dan horizontal yang berorientasi pada kelayakan hunian dan kelayakan investasi sektor agro-maritim
