Authors: Mukminah Nurul
Published: January 2025

Ice cream with high fat and sugar content can cause health problems in consumers.  The use of WPC as a fat substitute can reduce the fat content and increase the protein of ice cream. The aim of the research is to determine the effect of differences in WPC substitution as a fat substitute on physical (overrun and melting power), chemical (TPT, protein content and fat content) and organoleptic (color, taste, aroma, texture and overall) characteristics and to determine the best WPC treatment. on low-fat pineapple ice cream.  The research was carried out in May – July 2024 at Subang State Polytechnic. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments with a fat replacement percentage of 40% (W1), 50% (W2) and 60% (W3) with 3 replications. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA with a significance level of 5% and continued with the Duncan test. The results showed increasing WPC substitution had a significant effect (P>0.05) on overrun and melting power, protein content, fat content but had no effect (P>0.05) on TPT. Increasing WPC substitution reduces the overrun value and increases melting power, increasing the fat content and protein content of low-fat pineapple ice cream. The percentage of WPC affects the organoleptic values of color and aroma, but not the taste, texture and overall attributes. The best WPC substitution percentage treatment is the W1 (40%).

Published: January 2025

Roasting and brewing significantly influence the flavor and characteristics of coffee. Factors affecting the roasting process include the roasting machine, temperature, and duration of roasting. Cold brew brewing is the extraction of coffee using cold water, stored at temperatures below 30oC for 12 to 24 hours. This study aims to determine the physicochemical characteristics, particularly caffeine content and pH, followed by organoleptic testing compared to commercial coffee with 30 panelists on parameters (flavor, bitterness, aroma, color, overall) of Temanggung robusta coffee cold brew. The research employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with variations in roasting levels. The temperatures and times used for the roasting levels were: light roasting at 210 oC for 7 minutes, medium roasting at 215 oC for 9 minutes, and dark roasting at 225 oC for 11 minutes. The data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a significance level of 5% using SPSS 27. The results showed that the caffeine content of Temanggung robusta coffee cold brew ranged from 489.18 to 735.87 mg/L. The average pH was found to be between 5.72 and 5.96. In the organoleptic test, panelists provided differing scores on aroma and color parameters, with average scores on a scale of 1-5: for color, scores ranged from 2 (not bright) to 4 (fairly bright), and for aroma, average scores ranged from 2.5 (not quite sharp) to 3.3 (fairly sharp).

SDG'S IN FAMILY LAW: THE EFFECT OF GENDER INEQUALITY ON THE QUALITY OF CHILDREN'S EDUCATION IN THE FAMILY
Authors: Turnip Luisa Oktaviana , Judiasih Sonny Dewi , Yuanitasari Deviana
Published: January 2025

Men and women based on the influence of social culture of society (social construction) by not looking at biological types in equality. Gender differences, which in turn give birth to gender roles, are actually not a crucial problem, as long as they do not cause gender inequalities. However, the reality in society shows that gender differences have created various forms of inequality or injustice, both for men and especially for women. Equal and fair gender relations between parents related to child care and education in the family affect the quality of children's education. So far, the role of women (mothers) in assisting children's education is more than men. School selection and other education are often delegated to women. Family law can also influence the educational priorities of girls and boys. Some cultural norms may direct boys to get a better education than girls, which ultimately impacts on their future employment opportunities and quality of life. In addition, family law also plays a role in determining employment opportunities for women. In Indonesia, there are significant differences in employment opportunities between men and women. Traditional norms and practices still restrict women from engaging in formal employment, especially after marriage or having children. This is closely related to family law provisions that assign women traditional roles as mothers and housekeepers. This research is an empirical-normative legal research. The results of this research state that: First, that in a society with a patrilineal kinship system in a neighborhood in Medan there is still a low level of understanding and implementation of gender equality. Second, the gender inequality that still occurs especially in patrilineal societies affects the quality of education that is unequal between genders and worsens the quality of education and labor in Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are significant differences in employment opportunities between men and women. Traditional norms and practices still restrict women from engaging in formal employment, especially after marriage or having children. This is closely related to family law provisions that assign women traditional roles as mothers and housekeepers..

Tilapia is a fishery commodity with high economic value and great demand among farmers. Tilapia fish production in Indonesia recorded an increase from 371 thousand tons in 2021 to 401 thousand tons in 2022, making it one of the largest cultivated fish after shrimp and salmon according to FAO. The advantages of tilapia lie in its high protein content, delicious taste, stable price, ease of cultivation and ability to adapt to new environments and tolerance to low oxygen conditions. However, the main challenge in cultivating tilapia is the attack of non-pathogenic diseases which can cause prolonged stress, decreased body resistance, slow growth and death. Identification of this disease based on water quality is crucial to maintaining fish health and the continuity of cultivation. This study focuses on the identification and analysis of ectoparasites that infect tilapia in the Riyan Community Hatchery Unit (UPR), with the discovery that Dactylogyrus sp. and Trichodina sp. are the two main ectoparasites that affect the health and productivity of fish in that location. Further attention and development of effective control methods are needed to reduce the negative impact of this ectoparasite infection.

How was your childhood?
I enjoyed what I would say was a perfectly normal middle class childhood, but likely quite different from today’s generation, as mom was always home and only dad went to work. My two brothers and I were thus well looked after but never spoiled, although our parents were always a bit excessive when it came to Christmas celebrations. On the negative side, dad was always seeking a more challenging job and consequently the family moved across Canada at approximately 4 year intervals which, until I entered high school, tended to interrupt development of long-term friendships. I have a sharp memory of my father taking home study correspondence courses in the evenings to broaden his ability to advance in digital electronics. This instilled a sense of importance of education in me and my brothers such that we always knew we were destined for postgraduate degrees. I know that dad was very proud of all of us and our achievements.

Published: January 2025

Teaching Arabic in Indonesia often challenges fostering practical language skills, particularly at Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and universities. The Language Immersion method, which involves intensively using the target language in natural situations, offers an appealing alternative to enhance Arabic proficiency. While several studies have discussed this method, there remains a gap in its systematic application in academic settings. This study aims to explore the approach and implementation of the Language Immersion method in Arabic teaching at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember. It employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. The research locus is the Arabic Language Education Program at UIN Kiai Haji Achmad Siddiq Jember, with lecturers and students as subjects. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, presentation, and conclusion-drawing techniques. The findings reveal that the language immersion method significantly improves Arabic students' speaking, reading, and listening skills. Through discussions, role-playing, and presentations, students learn contextually. However, challenges such as lecturer consistency, limited resources, and the need for Arabic-speaking environments outside the classroom must be addressed for optimal results.

Authors: Zhao J. , Zhang Om. , Dong Zz. , Zhang X.
Published: January 2025

Исследовано влияние содержания Zr на микроструктуру, температуры мартенситного превращения, механические свойства, характеристики восстановления деформации и коррозионную стойкость сплавов системы Ti – 11V – 9,7Al – xZr. Установлено, что при введении Zr структура сплава постепенно трансформируется из a² в b-фазу. Добавление Zr снижает температуры мартенситного превращения сплава Ti – 11V – 9,7Al – xZr и значительно повышает его предел текучести и пластичность. Полное восстановление деформации 6 % достигается в сплаве Ti – 11V – 9,7Al – 5Zr, который проявляет высокий эффект памяти формы и сверхупругость. При достижении содержания Zr 10 at.% в сплаве эффект памяти формы отсутствует. Электрохимическое тестирование показало, что небольшое содержание Zr увеличивает коррозионную стойкость сплава, а наиболее высокую коррозионную стойкость имеет сплав Ti – 11V – 9,7Al – 5Zr.

Authors: Wang Haitao , Zheng Shaomei , Sun Shufeng
Published: January 2025

Представлен обзор и сравнение методов измерения напряжений in situ в оксидной окалине, включая рентгеновскую дифракцию, рамановскую спектроскопию, пьезоспектроскопию, методы отклонения. Анализ принципов и процедур испытаний показал, что каждый из них имеет как преимущества, так и ограничения. Рассмотрены результаты измерения напряжений в различных оксидах: NiO, Zr2O, Cr2O3, Al2O3 и др., исследованные разными методами. Метод отклонения превосходит другие при измерении напряжений в толстых оксидных окалинах. Однако процесс нанесения покрытия приводит к большему количеству ошибок. Для устранения неблагоприятных последствий нанесения покрытия разработан новый метод — метод среза кривой Архимеда для измерения напряжений в толстых оксидных окалинах на металлах при длительной высокотемпературной эксплуатации. Показан экспериментальный принцип и выведена формула напряжения. Без покрытия перед окислением образец среза кривой Архимеда свободно окисляется при высокой температуре и напряжения в оксидных окалинах можно рассчитать, наблюдая смещение обжима среза in situ в реальном времени во время окисления. Создан набор экспериментального оборудования, ожидающего проверки напряжения роста и термического напряжения отдельно с более высокой точностью.

Published: January 2025

Исследовано влияние длительности воздействия водорода в процессе выдержки при 1473 К в течение 0, 15, 30 и 60 мин на химический состав поверхностного слоя и сердцевины жаропрочного никелевого сплава ЖС6У. Установлено, что поверхностный слой сплава ЖС6У окисляется под действием микропримесей кислорода, находящихся в составе водорода. Химический состав сердцевины практически не изменяется. Показано, что после выдержки 15 мин в водородной среде в поверхностном слое содержание Al аномально возрастает, а Cr и Ni — снижается при небольшом изменении доли Мо и Со. Аномально высокое содержание O2 и Al в поверхностном слое, по-видимому, связано с высокой скоростью окисления Al, а также с диффузией легкоплавящегося Al из нижних слоев сплава в верхнюю тонкую пористую пленку Al2O3. Низкое содержание Ni в поверхностном слое указывает на его интенсивное окисление несмотря на сформировавшуюся ранее газопроницаемую пленку Al2O3.

Why Does Place Matter More (Politically) to Rural People? Political Communication, Fomenting Place Resentment, and Urban Collective Narcissism
Authors: Munis B. Kal , Huffman Nicole
Published: January 2025

Increasingly scholars have identified that place – via attachments, identities, or attitudes – appears to matter significantly more for rural political psychology than for the political psychologies of urbanites and suburbanites. While there’s more evidence of this asymmetry within the United States than for any other country, it is a phenomenon that is seemingly widespread throughout the western, post-industrial, democratic world. But why is this the case? In this paper, we identify and discuss two possible explanations: (1.) that asymmetries in rural-centric vs. urban-centric communications constitute a “supply side” cause, and (2.) that existing research has focused exclusively on attitudes that theory suggests should be disproportionately meaningful to rural subpopulations while overlooking other potential place-based attitudes that prove relevant to explaining non-rural public opinion. Ultimately, we find evidence in favor of both explanations. Regarding communication, we find that rural-centric political messages are more common than urban-centric communications and that experimentally manipulated urban-centric communications can foment place-based resentment among urbanites. Additionally, we introduce and investigate, for the first time, “place-based collective narcissism” and demonstrate its political relevance for non-rural Americans.
Understanding the Role of Gender Congruence and Affirming Care in Trans Men’s Body Image and Quality of Life
Authors: Cahill Liam , Staras Chase , Perera Treshi-Marie , Jones Bethany A , McDermott Daragh
Published: January 2025

Background: Trans men face unique challenges related to gender congruence, body satisfaction, and quality of life (QoL). While research highlights the importance of these factors for transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals, little is known about how they intersect to influence specific QoL domains (e.g., physiological, psychological, social, and environmental) for trans men. Understanding these relationships is critical to developing interventions that support their well-being. Method: This cross-sectional study recruited 166 trans men aged 18–30 from Global North countries with universal healthcare systems. Participants completed measures of gender congruence, body satisfaction, and QoL. A serial mediation model tested the associations between these constructs, controlling for age and satisfaction with gender transition. Exploratory analyses examined the role of gender-affirming care (e.g., hormones, chest surgery) in these relationships. Results: Gender congruence was positively associated with body satisfaction and QoL across physiological, psychological, and environmental domains but not social QoL. Body satisfaction was associated with physiological and psychological QoL but not social or environmental QoL. Gender congruence indirectly influenced QoL through body satisfaction in specific domains. Gender-affirming care improved gender congruence and indirectly enhanced body satisfaction. Conclusions: Findings underscore the importance of gender congruence in shaping body satisfaction and QoL for trans men, highlighting its mediating role in the benefits of gender-affirming care. Interventions should prioritise fostering gender congruence and addressing body image concerns to enhance trans men’s well-being across multiple life domains.
Investigating Public Attitudes Toward AI-Driven Medical Technologies: A Review of Literature on Trust and Ethical Considerations
Authors: Grace Olivia , Drummond Jesse
Published: January 2025

AI can bring about revolutions in health care through improvements in diagnosis and treatment of diseases while ensuring more operational efficiencies. The proposed literature review is intended to build on public perception, trust factors, and some ethical implications of AI-powered medical technologies. Findings indicated general awareness of AI in health, though different depths among participants were noted. AI technologies have various advantages, including improvements in diagnosis, identifying treatment options. However, several issues related to the use of AI in treatment, including data privacy and security concerns, are still looming large in regard to the erosion of human touch in patient care. Transparency, explain ability, reliability, and accuracy are the distinguishing factors for trusting AI. Ethical challenges related to AI algorithms showing bias and the need for informed consent further add to the complications for integrating AI into health. A socially responsible approach toward handling all these issues and ethical guidelines will be vital for successfully introducing AI into health. The involvement of health professionals in developing and implementing the AI system would ensure systems that are user-friendly and meet the requirements in clinical environments. The health sector will, therefore, be able to implement the potentials of AI with integrity only by responding to issues of the public's concern and ethical issues surrounding the technology. Indeed, the future area of study shall address how to reduce bias in AI algorithms, create ethics guidelines, and deduce the long-run implications for patient benefit and healthcare delivery.
Performance Improvement of Self-Rectifying Axial Impulse Turbines with a Diffuser Integration Strategy
Authors: Saha Geetam
Published: January 2025

Self-rectifying impulse turbines face performance challenges due to losses caused by flow misalignment in the rotor outflow. The misalignment in flow with the outlet guide vanes leads to significant stagnation pressure losses. Minimizing these losses involves reducing the kinetic energy of the flow at the outlet guide vanes, which can be achieved through the integration of a diffuser for both kinetic energy reduction and pressure recovery. This work introduces a comprehensive design methodology for incorporating annular diffusers to mitigate flow losses resulting from rotor outflow misalignment with downstream guide vanes. The design methodology focuses on analyzing the impact of axial offset, developing diffuser geometry based on turbine flow characteristics, and establishing an analytical relationship between the turbine’s geometric configuration and flow physics.
Engineering of Inquiry: The “Transformation” of Social Science through Generative AI
Authors: Broska David , McFarland Daniel A.
Published: January 2025

We increasingly read that generative AI will “transform” the social sciences, but little to no work has conceptualized the conditions necessary to fulfill such a promise. We review recent research on generative AI and evaluate its potential to reshape research practices. As the technology advances, generative AI could support various research tasks, including idea generation, data collection, and analysis. However, we discuss three challenges to an optimistic outlook that focuses solely on accelerating research through practical tools and reducing costs through inexpensive “synthetic” data. First, generative AI raises severe concerns about the validity of conclusions drawn from synthetic data about human populations. Second, possible efficiency gains in the research process may be partially offset by new problems introduced by the technology. Third, applications of generative AI have so far focused on enhancing existing methods, with limited efforts to harness the technology’s unique potential to simulate human behavior in social environments. Sociologists could use sociological theories and methods to develop “generative agents.” A new “trading zone” could emerge where social scientists, statisticians, and computer scientists develop new methodologies to facilitate innovative lines of inquiry and produce scientifically valid conclusions.
