Authors: Septiawan Rizki , Rachmanto Tri , Nurpatria
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The use of fossil fuels in everyday life is increasing. Fossil fuels that come from elements of living things that have been buried for thousands or even millions of years are non-renewable or non-renewable, so the more use of fossil fuels the longer the time will run out. Therefore, bioethanol can act as a substitute or alternative energy to reduce the use of fossil fuels. Bioethanol is a liquid resulting from sugar fermentation from a carbohydrate source (cellulose) using microbes.
The purpose of this study was to determine the efficiency of fermentation time on the final yield of bioethanol content and volume from bagasse (molasses) using various Brix values â€‹â€‹of 14%, 15%, and 16% and the fermentation time used was 36 hours, 48 â€‹â€‹hours, and 60 hours. From the variation of Brix value and fermentation time, 9 kinds of treatment were obtained with 3 repetitions so that the total sample was 27.
The results of this study indicate that the fermentation time factor is the dominant factor in determining the volume of alcohol, and the Brix factor is the dominant factor in determining the concentration. The most optimal treatment to produce the highest volume of alcohol was the 14% Brix variation with a 36-hour fermentation time variation with an average bioethanol volume of 1145.3 mL, and the most optimal treatment to produce high alcohol content was 16% Brix variation with an average the moderate alcohol content is 84%.

Published: November 2024

A vida é um bem fundamental e a saúde um dos direitos sociais assegurados pela Constituição Federal, sendo este direito pertencente a todos e um dever do Estado. No Brasil, a saúde só foi garantida constitucionalmente como direito universal de cidadania a partir de 1988. A partir do que está assegurado no art. 196, da Carta Magna, torna-se possível elaborar metas a fim de se preservar a vida dos indivíduos que compõem a sociedade e garantir o bem-estar de cada um. O mais importante é garantir o direito à vida, à sobrevivência e à disponibilidade de recursos que permitam a todos tais direitos. Contudo, é necessário que se realize, independente das condições sociais e econômicas, a qualidade de vida, a dignidade e a igualdade dos indivíduos com o objetivo de que tenham acesso a proteção de sua saúde e seus direitos reconhecidos. Neste sentido, o Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS é o responsável por todas as ações e serviços de saúde prestados por instituições e órgãos federais, estaduais e municipais. O SUS é um dos únicos sistemas públicos de saúde do mundo que garante acesso integral, gratuito e universal para a toda população brasileira. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo é abordar a questão do direito fundamental à saúde e à vida e a importância do Sistema Único de Saúde no cotidiano da população brasileira, ressaltando que tal premissa não está apenas ligada ao fornecimento de medicamentos, mas sim a todo atendimento necessário em garantir a saúde da população brasileira e o direito de viver.

Nesse sentido, justifica-se a relevância do presente estudo, não obstante, a teoria do direito jurídico-penal encontra-se impregnada à fixação do limites do poder punitivo do Estado, diferenciando tão somente infrações penais e sanções penais correspondentes, não fazem distinções entre princípios constitucionais, sem embargo da confusão terminológica existente, em particular, na doutrina, ao comungar, o da legalidade, o faz em tom respeitoso e em obediência à seus aspectos amplos (ninguém é obrigado a fazer ou deixar de fazer alguma coisa senão em virtude de lei, art. 5º, II, CF), igualmente, e estrito, notadamente às pertinentes (não há crime sem lei anterior que o defina, nem pena sem lei anterior que a comine, art. 5º, XXXIX, CF). Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo, compreender se a estratégia cresce e se desloca dos negócios meramente operacionais e orientados para o campo da ação e da operação baseada na atualização – em que utiliza apenas as visões práticas e concretas de como fazer e executar certas curvas de aprendizado de maneira correta e eficiente embasados em metodologia desenvolvida através de livros publicados e atualizados nos últimos de anos que propuseram teorias estruturadas por renomados escritores como Batista e Bitencourt. Esta pesquisa é classificada como descritiva e explicativa com a apresentação de estratégias administrativas orientadas para o campo do diagnóstico e da decisão que parte do princípio de que encontramo-nos na realidade que muitos autores ainda demonstram alguma dificuldade em entender que há diferença entre conceito penal jurídico e direito criminal, não se há de olvidar constituir o ramo mais rígido das normas autoaplicáveis, sendo este abrangente daquele, normas dependentes de complementação e normas dependentes de regulamentação. Assim, os vocábulos direito, lei e norma jurídica não nos parece e tudo não passa de uma opção terminológica, sem embargo da confusão terminológica existente num Código Criminal (1830), são, em sua perfeita tradução, inconfundíveis, a denominar o corpo de normas jurídicas, em uma análise superficial voltados ao combate à criminalidade, seria lícito admitir o Código Penal (1890 e 1940).

Published: November 2024

This study explores the comparative impact of classic and advanced information retrieval sys- tems (IRS) on strategic intelligence and decision-making quality within organizations. Classic IRS, rooted in keyword-based searches and basic indexing, have supported decision-making by providing fast access to relevant data. However, their limitations in contextual depth, adaptabil- ity, and capacity to handle complex, unstructured information often restrict their effectiveness in today’s dynamic business environments. Advanced IRS, on the other hand, utilize techniques such as natural language processing, machine learning, and semantic analysis to deliver richer, contextually relevant insights. These systems enable a more comprehensive understanding of complex information landscapes, aligning with strategic goals and supporting proactive decision- making. The paper’s analysis highlights that while advanced IRS offer substantial advantages in data precision, strategic alignment, and responsiveness, they also entail higher costs and tech- nical requirements. The findings provide actionable insights for organizations in selecting and implementing the most suitable IRS to enhance decision quality, considering factors like orga- nizational goals, resources, and ethical considerations. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on strategic intelligence by examining the evolution of IRS and their implications for organizational success.

Published: November 2024

This study investigates the biochemical effects of Kola Nitida on the liver of Wistar rats subjected to a high lipid diet. A High lipid diet induces oxidative stress, inflammation, and pancreatic dysfunction. This study evaluated whether Kola Nitida, known for its bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, caffeine, and theobromine, could protect the liver from lipid-induced damage. The study was conducted within 6 months (April – September 2024). The effect of bioactive compounds from kola nut extracts on liver functions of Wistar rats was investigated using standard methods. Twenty Wistar rats were used for the study. They were randomly divided into five groups 1, 2, 3, control, and toxicity made up of 4 rats each. The control group received water food, Group 1 received kola nitida extract 100mg/kg body weight water food, group (B) received kola nitida extract 200mg/kg body weight water food, and Group (C) received kola nitida extract 300mg/kg body weight water food by oral administration for 14 days. The results showed that caffeine from kola nuts had effects on the liver functions of the Wistar rats. Administration of kola nitida (vera) significantly decreased aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), GGT, Total bilirubin (TB), Total protein (TP), Albumin (ALB), activities, consumption of HFD increased total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP)activity. Body weight, organ weight, and histopathological study were significantly reduced. This study seems to suggest that consumption of HFD and reversal with kolanut (kola nitida) will significantly cause positive effects on the biological and histological liver functions of humans.

Published: November 2024

How does Energy Expenditure (EE) in golf practice compare to golf play? Golf has demonstrated a moderate level of EE during play, especially when walking, which can contribute to health. Golf practice on the driving range has never been assessed. Can driving range practice qualify as meaningful exercise?
Ten subjects regularly participating in golf performed two short-range/practice sessions while connected to a portable metabolic system to determine potential benefits. Data points were recorded and averaged for O2/L/min and converted to kcal per hour, oxygen consumption in VO2 ml/kg/min, and heart rate (HR).
Subjects performed their regular physical warm-up routine and hit range balls using their standard progression of clubs and pace. Sessions ranged from 10-19 minutes, followed by a short break, with another session of the same time and progression. Using oxygen consumed to measure energy expenditure, the group averaged 3.5 kcal per minute for the first session/3.71 kcal per minute for the two sessions. MET values were 2.31/2.59, respectively, below the required 3.0 met level for moderate activity. Statistical analysis revealed a significant relationship between subject weight and EE of p=0.0001. From this beta study, golf practice can contribute to overall health as part of a weekly exercise and recreation schedule. Further rigorous study is needed to explore this form of activity's quantity further.

Published: November 2024

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has revolutionized the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, transforming how building lifecycle data is managed and visualized. By consolidating physical and functional characteristics into a shared digital model, BIM facilitates collaboration, minimizes rework, and streamlines planning and execution. In sustainability, BIM supports "Green BIM" practices that reduce carbon footprints by enabling energy modeling and lifecycle analysis. However, despite these advances, BIM faces interoperability issues, largely due to proprietary software formats, leading to isolated data silos that impede efficient data exchange across platforms. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into BIM introduces groundbreaking solutions to these challenges. AI enhances BIM through automation of design validation, clash detection, and real-time data analysis, transforming BIM into an adaptive system capable of proactive decision-making. AI applications, including predictive maintenance, generative design, and real-time construction monitoring, promise higher safety standards, reduced errors, and improved lifecycle management. However, AI-enhanced BIM adoption is hampered by technical, ethical, and financial challenges, such as data quality, privacy concerns, and high implementation costs. Addressing these obstacles with standardized data protocols, workforce upskilling, and collaborative frameworks can maximize the potential of AI-driven BIM, advancing sustainability, efficiency, and resilience within the construction industry.

Animals were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups, with each group carefully monitored for behavioral changes and physical health indicators throughout the study period. Grouping of animals was done as the animals were divided into 5 groups: Group 1(Negative control), Group 2(Toxicity group), Group 3(100mg/kg), Group 4(200 mg/kg), Group 5(300mg/kg). Blood samples was collected from the marginal ear vein using a 2ml needle and syringe into lithium heparin bottles and was spun at 3500 rpm for 5 minutes to obtain plasma in order to determine the renal biomarkers using creatinine and urea diagnostic kit (Randox test kit), The results of this study clearly demonstrate that the administration of a high lipid diet and subsequent reversal with Kola-Nitida induces significant changes in the urea and creatinine in all the test groups when compared to toxicity group. The strong statistical evidence supports the conclusion that Kola-Nitida may play a role in mitigating the effects of a high lipid diet on the renal biomarkers in Wistar rats.

Ehrlichiosis is a vector-borne disease that both humans and animals are affected. Multiple tissues and organs are fascinating, and Ehrlichiosis can cause multiple organ failure. In one’s way the known clinical findings and pathogenesis, it is not clear how Ehrlichia is effective and important on myocardial damage and Disseminate Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) profile. Anemia is seen as one of the common clinical conditions in Ehrlichiosis. In this study, it was determined to state the existence of myocardial damage and thromboembolic condition at Ehrlichiosis with the severity of anemia. The animal material of this study consisted of 24 mono-infected, 9 co-infected, and 10 healthy animals. Additionally, animals were separated into mono, co-infected; with anemia profile non-anemic, mild, moderate, and severe anemic, and according to serologic and molecular results; acute infected, ınfected, and active ınfected. CK-MB, cTnI, and Myoglobin levels were calculated in all groups to identify myocardial damage. Accordingly, D-Dimer concentrations were determined to set down the potential of the DIC profile. As a result of the data, D-Dimer levels had a significant increase in mono, co-infected, mild, moderate, severe, and active infected animals (p

The aim of this study is to investigate fecal pH changes in diarrheal newborn calves infected with enteropathogens such as Bovine rotavirus, Bovine Coronavirus, Cryptosporidium spp, Escherichia coli K99 and Giardia lamblia. This study will be the first to reveal the relationship between fecal pH and enteropathogens in cases of diarrhea. The animal material of the study consisted of 96 diarrheal calves aged between 1 and 28 days. Fecal samples were taken from calves with diarrhea. Rapid diagnostic kits were used to diagnose enteropathogens in the stool samples taken. When the pH analysis results of all cases were examined, fecal pH values of both single and co-infected cases were determined to be predominantly between 5-6 and 6.1-7. Fecal pH values of infected calves were determined to be maximum between 6.1-7. When the pH values of all cases were examined, it was determined that cases with 8-15 days of diarrhea were detected more frequently. It was determined that the fecal pH values of these calves with diarrhea varied between 6.1-7. In the analysis of fecal pH values in 12 samples in which only E. coli was detected, it was determined that the fecal pH value of 11 of these calves was measured between 5 and 6, and only 1 of them had a pH value above 6. On the other hand, it was determined that the fecal pH value was measured below 6 in 12 of the remaining 84 calves. It was observed that the fecal pH value was between 5-6 in the majority of calves in which E. coli was detected. It was determined that the fecal pH value was above 6 in 73 of a total of 96 calves. Additionally, pH was not detected above 7.1 in any of the cases infected with enteropathogens. The pH value of both single and co-infected cases was determined predominantly between 6.1 and 7.
As a result, fecal pH values of calves with identified pathogens were measured using nitrazine paper, and it was revealed that there was a relationship between the detected factor and the age of the case. It was determined that the fecal pH values of cases infected with enterogens were not higher than 7, and the fecal pH values of enteropathogens were concentrated in the range of 6.1-7. For faster diagnosis, prevention, control and treatment of enteropathogens that cause diarrhea in newborn calves, attention can be taken in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease when fecal pH values are an easily detected parameter. It is thought that it will shed light on future studies regarding fecal pH.

Adli Botanik disiplini bitki materyallerini kullanarak olay yeri, fail veya kurban arasındaki bağlantıyı ortaya çıkarmayı hedeflemektedir. Bitkilerde bulunan ikincil metabolitlerin varlığı farklı bitki türlerinde değişiklik gösterdiğinden DNA izolasyon yöntemleri her bitki türüne hatta her bitki dokusuna özel olarak ayarlanmalıdır. Çalışmamızda, Türkiye’de yetişen Ateş Dikeni (Pyracantha coccinea M.Roem.) bitkisinin meyveleri için sıvı nitrojen kullanılmadan en uygun DNA izolasyon metodunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmamızda, ateş dikeni bitkisinin meyveleri taze (12 adet) ve kurutulmuş (12 adet) olarak iki gruba ayrılmış ve her analizde tek meyve kullanılarak farklı homojenizasyon yöntemlerine tabi tutulmuştur. DNA izolasyonu tamamlanan örneklerin DNA miktarları ölçülerek hangi metodun optimum sonuç verdiği belirlenmiştir. En yüksek DNA miktarı 4,80 ng/µl olarak havan ve boncuklu doku öğütücü ile homojenize edilen kurutulmuş meyvelerden elde edilirken, en düşük DNA miktarı ise 0,13 ng/µl olarak yalnızca mutfak robotu ile homojenize edilen taze meyvelerden elde edilmiştir. Çalışmamızın bulguları hem taze hem de kurutulmuş meyveler için, homojenizasyonun havan ve boncuklu doku öğütücü ile gerçekleştirilmesi halinde bitki materyallerinden yüksek miktarda DNA geri kazanımı olacağı yönündedir. Yaptığımız çalışma, Ateş Dikeni bitkisinin dahil olabileceği adli vakalarda DNA izolasyonu için optimizasyon sunmaktadır.

A technique for obtaining vanadium oxides of various stoichiometries from vanadyl isopropoxide by chemical vapor deposition is demonstrated. Various vanadium oxides from the Magnelli series have been obtained. Thin-film coatings are applied to the surface of silicon and sapphire. Coatings deposited in an argon flow at temperatures from 220 ˚C to 290 ˚C were evaluated by transmission spectra, Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction. Four oxides (V3O5, VO2, V6O13, V2O5) with different ratios were found in the synthesized amorphous structures. In a number of coatings on silicon substrates, a phase transition of the second kind with a jump in electrical resistance up to 10 times at a temperature of 69 ˚C, was recorded.

Miniaturization of devices based on one-dimensional semiconductor nanocrystals is of high importance for high-frequency applications, photonics, and various sensors. Zinc oxide, one of the materials actively studied for such purposes, can be obtained by several technologies. Among them, chemical vapor deposition is distinguished by a low concentration of defects in the resulting structures. The aim of this work was to fabricate a test device on a single ZnO nanocrystal by means of nanomanipulation and to study its spectral response in the range from near-IR to UV. Since one of the promising applications of ZnO is UV sensors, the task was to test the selectivity of the response to the wavelength range below 400 nm.
