Evidence of a Three-State Mechanism in DNA Hairpins Folding
Authors: Cullinane Brendan , Ishii Kunihiko , Kaur Simi , Tahara Tahei , Goldsmith Randall
Published: January 2025

DNA hairpins are a model system for biomolecule folding as well as key structures in biology and nanotechnology. However, limitations in traditional solution-phase spectroscopy shorten the window of observable kinetics and cannot account for stat-ic heterogeneity. Here, we show that the application of 2-Dimenstional Fluorescence Lifetime Correlation Spectroscopy (2DFLCS) to a solution-phase molecule trapped in an anti-Brownian Electrokinetic (ABEL) trap bypasses those limitations, enabling kinetic analysis of the dynamics of single solution-phase molecules on a broad range of timescales down to micro-seconds. The analysis unambiguously shows that DNA hairpin folding proceeds via a three-state system, where hairpins fold initially on the scale of 10s-100s of microseconds from a random coil to a partially closed intermediate, and then form a sta-ble fully closed state.
In silico exploration of metabolite-derived soft materials using a chemical reaction network: what is possible?
Authors: Iyer Shruti , Jackson Nicholas
Published: January 2025

Future soft materials and polymer chemistries will require innovative non-petroleum sourcing pathways to thrive in a sustainable economy. While leveraging microbial metabolites derived from biological feedstocks possesses high potential in many avenues of chemical development, the applicability of this paradigm to the specifics of soft materials chemistry is unclear. Here, we construct a chemical reaction network based on databases of common microbial metabolites and the USPTO reaction set to examine what is possible in the chemical space of metabolite-derived chemistries of relevance to soft materials. We observe that the accessible chemical space of our chemical reaction network possesses strong microbe-specific chemical diversity, and that this space saturates rapidly within three synthetic steps applied to the original microbial metabolites. Importantly, we show that the chemical space accessible from metabolite precursors possesses significant overlap with existing petrochemical building blocks, known and proposed synthetically feasible polymer monomers, and the chemical space of common organic semiconductors, and redox active materials. The biases induced by the metabolite and reaction databases that parameterize our reaction network are analyzed as a function of chemical functional groups, and pathways towards broader sets of chemistries and reactions are outlined. This work introduces a computational framework for exploring a novel paradigm of soft materials discovery with the potential to accelerate the identification of soft materials relevant to metabolic engineering targets and non-petroleum sourcing pathways for existing soft materials.

Published: January 2025

Inflation targeting Framework (ITF) pertama kali diterapkan di Indonesia pada 1 Juli tahun 2005 sebagai respons terhadap tantangan ekonomi domestik dan internasional. Kebijakan ini bertujuan untuk mencapai stabilitas inflasi melalui penerapan sasaran inflasi yang realistis, sehingga memperkuat kemampuan Bank Indonesia dalam melaksanakan kebijakan moneter. Kata kunci inflation targeting memiliki hubungan yang kuat dengan monetary policy karena konsep inflation targeting merupakan salah satu strategi utama yang diterapkan dalam kebijakan moneter modern. Strategi ini melibatkan penetapan target inflasi tertentu oleh bank sentral untuk menjaga stabilitas harga, yang merupakan salah satu tujuan utama kebijakan moneter. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif- kualitatif dengan analisis data sekunder dari berbagai sumber terpercaya, antara lain Bank Indonesia, BPS, dan IMF. Data yang sudah terkumpul kemudian diproses di VOSviewer untuk menghasilkan peta visual. Analisis dilakukan pada beberapa aspek utama, seperti kolaborasi antar peneliti (co-authorship), referensi yang sering dikutip bersama (co-citation), dan analisis kata kunci untuk melihat fokus utama penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ITF telah berhasil menganalisis inflasi di Indonesia, dengan inflasi saat ini masih sering berada dalam kisaran sasarannya sejak tahun 2009. Namun demikian, masih ada beberapa hal yang masih perlu diperhatikan, seperti krisis global dan dampak fluktuasi harga komoditas. Visualisasi bibliometrik menunjukkan bahwa penelitian tentang ITF di Indonesia masih relatif mendekati penelitian di negara lain. Implementasi ITF yang konsisten diyakini dapat meningkatkan stabilitas ekonomi nasional dan penanganan krisis.

Authors: Voorhees McKenna , Wengreen Heidi , Savoie-Roskos Mateja , Kraus Katie
Published: January 2025

Background: Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPCP) supports optimal healthcare outcomes; accordingly, dietetic program accreditation standards require interprofessional-related education (IPE). Objective: To explore IPE implementation and evaluation of IPE in dietetics curricula, and how these relate to director confidence in students and student satisfaction. Main Outcome Measures: IPE approaches (lectures, assignments, direct experience, case studies/facilitated multidisciplinary interactions), Timing of IPE (years 1, 2, 3, 4, other), director confidence (10-level scale), student IPE satisfaction (7-level scale) Statistical Analyses Performed: The strength and direction of correlation between number of IPE methods with director confidence/student satisfaction, and time spent on IPE with director confidence were assessed using Spearman’s Correlation. Director confidence was also regressed on number of IPE methods and time spent on IPE, accounting for program type (CP/DPD/DI) and level (undergraduate/graduate) using multiple linear regression. Results: Case studies (79%) and lectures (86%) were common IPE methods reported among directors and students, respectively. IPE occurred predominantly in years 1&2 and 3&4 in CPs and DPDs, respectively. Number of IPE methods was associated with student satisfaction (r(135)=0.47, pr(45)=0.33, p=0.025). Twenty-three evaluation methods of IP learning were identified. Conclusions: Common IPE methods included case studies and lectures. Timing of IPE varied by program type. More IPE methods and time devoted to IPE were associated with increased student satisfaction and director confidence, respectively. Various methods were used to evaluate IP learning.
Bi-Statistical γ-Covers Controlled by a Pair of Weight Functions in Topology
Authors: Bal Prasenjit , Das Parthiba
Published: January 2025

In this current framework, a new notion called double weighted statistical γ-cover is being introduced within the context of topological space. This notion extends the idea of a traditional open cover by incorporating two weight functions g and h which allocate non-negative real numbers to element of the cover. This approach allows for more versatile and nuanced coverings, providing a powerful tool for analyzing the structure and properties of topological space, particularly in cases where double statistical γ covers may be too restrictive or fail to capture aspects of the space complexity. Furthermore, the application of denseness for two weight functions has been investigated thoroughly. Additionally, explored the concept of product space of double statistical γ-cover equipped with two weight functions g and h.
The meanings of restriction: the Heydt Rescript of 1859 and German migrations to Brazil
Authors: Pérez Meléndez José Juan
Published: January 2025

On 3 November 1859, the Kingdom of Prussia decreed the so-called Heydt Rescript, a circular that curtailed propaganda and private emigration drives from Prussian lands to Brazil. In line with the assessment of nineteenth-century observers, scholars have long understood the Rescript as a singularly restrictive measure that directly responded to reports of abuse against German colonos culminating in the sharecroppers’ rebellion (revolta dos parceiros) of 1856-1857. However, a number of factors suggest that, beyond Brazil, other Prussian concerns of both a domestic and international political nature motivated the Heydt Rescript. Beginning with the life trajectory of the decree’s author, trade minister August von der Heydt, this article surveys the context that preceded and underpinned the Heydt Rescript in order to show how Prussian military imperatives, economic overtures in Asia, and government changes dovetailed into a multifaceted migration restriction that remained in place until the end of the century.
Parceiros, pequenos proprietários e diaristas: migrantes e imigrantes de língua alemã nas províncias de Santa Catarina e Espírito Santo (1840-1860)
Authors: Da Silva Ferreira Luiz Mateus
Published: January 2025

Este artigo tem como objetivo examinar questões relativas à propriedade da terra e às relações de trabalho livre existentes nas principais colônias rurais de imigrantes de língua alemã estabelecidas nas províncias de Santa Catarina e Espírito Santo entre 1840 e 1860. Especificamente, são avaliadas as circunstâncias da fundação e o desenvolvimento inicial das colônias Blumenau, Dona Francisca e Santa Isabel, na província catarinense, e Santa Leopoldina, Santa Isabel e Rio Novo, no Espírito Santo. Destaca-se que, apesar de serem pequenos proprietários rurais, a maioria dos imigrantes estabelecidos nas colônias Dona Francisca e Blumenau trabalhava em atividades remuneradas paralelas à agricultura, dedicando-se apenas parcialmente ao cultivo de suas terras. Além disso, o artigo ressalta que, na mesma época em que grandes cafeicultores paulistas e fluminenses empregaram europeus como parceiros nas suas fazendas de café, o sistema de parceria como forma de relação de trabalho livre também foi experimentado na colônia Dona Francisca, um dos mais importantes núcleos de colonização alemã do Brasil no século XIX. Este estudo ainda traz à luz a história dos Kaffeepflücker (colhedores de café) na colônia Santa Isabel, em Santa Catarina. Pouco conhecida na historiografia econômica, a história dos Kaffeepflücker constitui um dos mais interessantes capítulos da imigração alemã para o Brasil no século XIX, ressaltando a migração interprovincial de estrangeiros inicialmente contratados para trabalhar como parceiros nas regiões cafeeiras do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo. Nesse contexto, este artigo ainda destaca a migração interprovincial de colonos parceiros em direção ao Espírito Santo, bem como a colonização alemã na província capixaba, onde os colonos foram assentados como pequenos proprietários rurais e alcançaram relativa prosperidade a partir do livre cultivo de café.

In Search Of Our Roots. On The History Of Senegalese Paintings
Authors: Helfer Anna
Published: January 2025

Ken Aicha Sy is a Senegalese French curator based in Dakar, Senegal. Her curatorial research project Survival Kit aims to create a tool, Magalogue (1), for understanding the history of contemporary Senegalese art, particularly from the 1960s to the 1990s.Hundreds of paintings, graphics, films, and archival documents from the École de Dakarare housed in European museums. At the same time, communities in Senegal have no access to their cultural heritage. Survival Kit takes up the urgency that people need to know their cultural roots, allowing collective remembrance of history to envision the future. Her four-year research into Senegal's artistic heritage took her to Germany and England, where she collaborated with the Weltkulturen Museum, Iwalewa House, and SOAS University of London. While conducting her research, she sifted through museum depots and interviewed several key figures from the cultural art scenes of Europe and Africa. She gained significant insights and perspectives on European and African museum institutions and the artistic activities and networks of that time in Senegal. Notably, the artistic and museum practices of collectives Huit Facettes and Laboratoire Agit’Art have significantly impacted Ken Aicha Sy's view of museums as a venue that responds to the community and cultural rootedness. Consequently, returning cultural heritage from Europe to Africa is closely linked to the need for museums and archives to transform themselves to adapt not only to the absent objects but also to the cultural and societal environment of the place of origin.
Changing Winds: An Account Of The Bora Museum In Trieste (Italy) As A Space Of Rootedness In Climate Change
Authors: Cecalupo Chiara
Published: January 2025

The Bora Museum in Trieste was founded in 2004 to celebrate the bora, the typical wind of Trieste, which for thousands of years has had an enormous impact on the city and the region in social, urban, economic, cultural and artistic terms. The museum has always been a space ‘in progress’, collecting testimonies of the wind and its changes. Since mid-2023, thanks to a major national grant, the museum has been working on opening a new exhibition space, the Borarium, designed as a centre for reflection on climate change. This contribution (presented here in the form of reflective papers or personal accounts) first aims to discuss the bottom-up and co-creation projects of the Bora Museum together with the citizens of Trieste, in particular Memories of bora, a series of videos dedicated to citizens’ memories of this characteristic wind, and Changing winds: climate emergency and us, dedicated to the climate changes perceptible in the wind. It then describes the ongoing interactive experiences, the Borarium Interactive project to digitise the museum’s analogue heritage, and initiatives to co-create content with visitors to support local processes of green transition and raise awareness of environmental choices. This work exemplifies a museum’s commitment to rooted work, as evidenced by its partnerships and collaborations with local communities on environmental issues, as well as its shared practices with its fellow citizens.

The Theory of Elements
Authors: Abdellah El-Mourabet
Published: January 2025

The spin of a physical object is a vector which is held by the self-rotation axis of the object. Spin measures the intensity of the self-rotation of the object around its axis. The sudden and forceful, but direct contact of two bodies is known as collision. The collision is supposed to be perfectly elastic. Newton stated the law of universal attraction. The formula of Biot & Savart is unavoidable if we are interested by electromagnetism; this formula led to the famous equations of Maxwell. Curiously, this formula includes a vector product which may seem quite unusual. An electric current, which flows in an electric wire, creates, by induction, another current of small particles, all around the wire. The colors are intensities of reflections, due to the self-rotation of atoms of the colored objects. The stars novas are due to sudden appearance of storms of space winds, which strike the stars, and which make them self-rotate faster and then it became brighter.

Published: January 2025

Leadership plays a pivotal role in enhancing administrative efficiency, serving as a cornerstone for organizational improvement and sustainable growth. This review examines key theoretical approaches and conceptual models that link leadership styles with administrative efficiency, focusing on their practical implications for organizational performance. By synthesizing contemporary literature, the paper identifies transformational, transactional, and servant leadership as primary frameworks influencing administrative efficiency. The analysis explores how transformational leadership fosters innovation and employee engagement, empowering teams to achieve administrative excellence. Transactional leadership, with its focus on structure and accountability, is evaluated for its role in optimizing processes and resource allocation. Servant leadership is highlighted for its emphasis on ethical decision-making and fostering a collaborative culture, ensuring long-term organizational sustainability. A significant focus is placed on conceptual models, such as the Leadership Efficiency Framework (LEF), which integrates leadership behaviors, organizational culture, and technological advancements. The paper also considers emerging paradigms, including adaptive and distributed leadership, which are gaining relevance in dynamic and complex organizational environments. Methodologically, this review employs a qualitative approach, drawing insights from peer-reviewed journals, case studies, and organizational reports. The findings reveal that effective leadership not only enhances decision-making and resource management but also aligns administrative goals with broader organizational objectives. Furthermore, the integration of digital tools and data-driven decision-making within leadership strategies is recognized as a critical factor for improving administrative efficiency. The review underscores the necessity of leadership development programs to equip managers with the skills required for navigating challenges in modern organizations. It advocates for a multidimensional approach that combines theoretical understanding with practical applications to drive organizational improvement. This study contributes to the discourse on leadership and administrative efficiency by providing a comprehensive review of theories and models, offering actionable insights for practitioners and scholars.

Hydroxyapatite-reinforced Al-Mg composites for corrosion resistance in hanks' balanced salt solution
Authors: Zuliantoni Zuliantoni , Suprapto W. , Setyarini P.H. , Gapsari F.
Published: January 2025

Aluminum-Magnesium (Al-Mg) matrix composites were fabricated using powder metallurgy. Ceramic particles such as synthetic hydroxyapatite and snail shell hydroxyapatite were used as reinforcing particles. Snail shell hydroxyapatite often shows superior corrosion resistance over manufactured hydroxyapatite because of its distinct structural integrity, biological compatibility, and trace element concentration. Aluminummagnesium matrix composites are lightweight metals with advantageous mechanical, physical, and density properties, making them suitable for applications in the automotive, aerospace, biomedical, and sports industries. However, their limited corrosion resistance has restricted their broader development and application. This study characterizes corrosion behavior of Al-Mg composites reinforced with HAss and HA bioceramic. Given that plastic deformation can improve corrosion resistance, powder metallurgy is one of the most promising techniques for improving a material's mechanical properties. Following HAss reinforcement testing, Al-Mg composites were contrasted. A compression pressure of 650 MPa was used to produce the samples at room temperature. Corrosion was measured using the potentiodynamic polarization electrochemical test in Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). Out of all the AlMg/HAss composites, the 0.55Al-0.05Mg/0.40HAss composite exhibited the maximum corrosion resistance (9.58×10-4 mmpy), per the test results. 7.72×10-6 mmpy was the Al-Mg/HA composite's ideal corrosion resistance when combined with the 0.80Al-0.05Mg/0.15HA composite. The application of powder metallurgy in the production of the composites significantly improved their corrosion resistance. The Al-Mg/HAss AMC can also be used in biomaterials.

This paper aims to reconstruct the history of the Islamic caliphate with a focus on Ibn Zubair's conception of leadership selection and power legitimacy. The key issues discussed include how Ibn Zubair obtained his legitimacy and the principles he adhered to in selecting leaders, as well as the impact of his views on the political and social developments of the time. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, involving literature reviews and text analysis. The primary sources consist of historical literature and records in the form of classical Islamic texts, while secondary sources are used to provide broader context. The findings reveal that Ibn Zubair had a deep understanding of leadership selection, which involved consultation and specific criteria for a just leader. The study concludes that Ibn Zubair supported the election of leaders through consensus within the Muslim community, prioritizing leadership quality and legitimacy from society, rather than hereditary succession as practiced by the Umayyad Dynasty, which tended to pass power from one generation to the next. Ibn Zubair’s thoughts significantly contribute to our understanding of power legitimacy in the history of the Islamic caliphate and its relevance to the current political and social context.

This story shows that social change can start from individuals who have strong vision and integrity, who then influence the community around them and spread the values of change through culture.
