Authors: R Yunusa
Published: August 2023

Preservatives both natural and synthetic have been widely used to store food in order to ensure all season availability and safety for human consumption. This study was carried out to evaluate the biochemical effects of natural and synthetic pesticides preserved Vigna subterranea in male albino rats. Thirty six adult male albino weighing between 150 – 200 g were randomly allocated into 6 groups A, B, C, D, E and F (n=6 each). Vigna subterranea were preserved for six months in 5 air tight containers: preserved with neem ash, Pepper, Dichlovors, Aluminium Phosphide and without preservative. The preserved beans were milled into powder and used as dietary supplement for the rats. All the animals freely received animal feed and water. Group A, B, C, D, E and F were fed with animal feed and water only, Vigna subterranea without preservative, neem Ash preserved Vigna subterranea, Pepper preserved Vigna subterranea, Dichlovors preserved Vigna subterranea and Aluminium Phosphide preserved Vigna subterranea respectively. The dietary intervention lasted for 2 months after which the animals were sacrificed. The blood sample of each rat was collected and analyzed using standard methods. The results from the analysis of the liver function across the groups with preservatives showed increase in liver enzymes. The serum AST shows significant increase (p < 0.05) in Group D compared to Group A. ALT significantly (p < 0.05) increased in all the test groups except the group fed with pepper compared to the control which indicates there may be possible injury to the liver. The result showed elevation (p < 0.05) of C-reactive protein in all the test group compared to Group A and significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in the group fed with neem Ash, which may indicate injury and inflammation in the test animals of the other preservatives. In the kidney, the serum urea findings showed significant increase (p<0.05) in all the groups fed with preservatives compared to the Group A and the concentrations of Creatinine increased significantly (p<0.05) in all the groups fed with the preserved V. subterranea compared to the control indicating there may be possible damage to the kidney. A significant decrease (p<0.05) in the antioxidants-CAT, SOD and GPx and increase (p<0.05) in MDA in the group fed with preservatives indicates there may be increase in lipid peroxidation, leading to oxidative stress and cell injury in the test animals. The results of this study suggest that the use of some of these preservatives which could be natural and synthetic may be toxic and could lead to cellular and tissue damage.

APPLYING THE NEW LEX MERCATORIA BY OPTING-OUT APPROACH IN SETTLEMENT OF INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL CONTRACT DISPUTES
Authors: Taufiqurrahman Taufiqurrahman
Published: August 2023

The problem that must be solved at first in international commercial contract dispute settlement is the determination of applicable law. This problem is not easy to be solved in the absence of a choice of law clause. Generally, judges or arbitrators attempt to use conventional methods of determination that ultimately designate national law from either party. This conventional method certainly creates a sense of injustice for one of the parties whose national law is not embarrassed. From the condition above, the existence of an international law regime (the New Lex Mercatoria made by International Organizations operating in the field of International Commercial Law) as well as an approach that enforces the law regime is urgently needed in international trade traffic. The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of using an opting-out approach to enforce the New Lex Mercatoria in the resolution of commercial disputes encountered. The research method used is normative legal research method with the statute and conceptual approach. The results show that the "opting-out" approach further expands the potential of the New Lex Mercatoria in the settlement of international commercial contract disputes that ultimately leads to the harmonization of international commercial law.
IMPLICATIONS OF THE PRINCIPLE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION IN THE INDONESIA-EUROPEAN UNION COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT CHAPTER TOWARD REGULATIONS OF DOMESTIC PRODUCT USE IN INDONESIA
Authors: Syukri Syukri , Amalia Prita
Published: August 2023

This article aims to explain the differences between regulations on the use of domestic product in Indonesia and the principle of non-discrimination in Indonesia-European Union Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (I-EU CEPA) on Government Procurement Chapter and the legal consequences for domestic regulations in Indonesia. The research method used is a normative juridical method with exploratory specifications. The results of this study indicate that the principle of non-discrimination, which consists of most favored-nation treatment and national treatment in the I-EU CEPA on Government Procurement Chapter, differs from regulations in Indonesia because the use of domestic product is mandatory in the government procurement and discriminatory against foreign suppliers. The difference in these provisions has implications, namely if Indonesia and the European Union agree to the I-EU CEPA, they must adjust the regulations for the use of domestic product in accordance with the principle of non-discrimination in the I-EU CEPA or World Trade Organization Agreement on Government Procurement (WTO GPA) or ratify the I-EU CEPA in the form of a Law and its enforcement is lex specialis and it is necessary to make adjustments to the implementing regulations by giving time after entry into force. In addition, Indonesia does not have the obligation to provide equal treatment to third countries because the I-EU CEPA is a bilateral agreement and Indonesia is not yet bound by a multilateral agreement, namely the WTO GPA. In addition, if Indonesia and the European Union agree to an I-EU CEPA, the Indonesian side cannot cancel it on the grounds that it violates the provisions of national law.

Authors: Pratama Garry Gumelar , Ruswandi Nadhifathur Rochmah
Published: August 2023

The topic of liability under international law falls in the norms of the Outer Space Treaty 1967 and the Liability Convention 1972. The principled division of responsibility for harm incurred by a space object to the launching state(s) is the starting point in this regard. Since the conventions are legally binding for Indonesia, it become the outlining frame for regulating space insurance with national regulations. As small satellite industry and space insurance in Indonesia show a massive potential grow, this article focuses on the analytical explanation of Indonesian space insurance-related regulations covering small satellite operations. Even though international law does not require obligatory space insurance, Indonesian Space Act 2013 regulates mandatory requirement for all space activities conducted by private companies, including small satellites. One of the main issues discussed in this paper is whether the Indonesia regulation open opportunities to space insurance industry in Indonesia to grow. The study was conducted using descriptive-analytical approach, emphasizing on the normative juridical approach by literature studies.

Review Using Artificial Intelligence-Generating Images: Exploring Material Ideas from MidJourney to Improve Vernacular Designs
Authors: Tanugraha Stephen
Published: August 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) was created to be an assistant to humankind. The architectural design process is one of them.   Artificial Intelligence is starting to enter the realm of architecture and design. Lately, teams have developed many AI algorithms to generate random images based on the database they had just by texting a command for them. MidJourney is a discord-based Artificial Intelligence for generating images with the text-to-images method, and its database is infinite; it can suggest incredible things. Architects can use MidJourney as a design ideas generator with specific commands.
 MidJourney, one of the AI pioneers in the design world, still has many shortcomings and limitations. Incorrect details and forms are one of its limitations. This exploration using AI should be deepened as part of MidJourney development. This study aims to discover how far researchers have done the command prompt in exploring MidJourney in architecture. This research can be the basis for further research in developing the text-to-image Artificial Intelligence Generator results. This paper uses a systematic literature review method on journals, books, and websites linked with Artificial Intelligence, architecture, and texture selection for building. The systematic literature review involves collecting questions, identifying keywords, screening articles, analyzing, discussing, and concluding.
                   The results explain the role of Artificial Intelligence in architectural design. MidJourney can choose the proper material for its innovations by generating concept ideas. However, MidJourney has yet to be able to implement the logic of structures and buildings in its design even though it has used architecture-related prompts, perhaps because it was not specifically designed to produce architectural drawings but graphic design only. The challenge is based on the user defining the limitation and the main ideas for generating Artificial Intelligence.

The present study examined the impact of emotional intelligence on the cognitive subjective well-being of Vietnamese college students and the intermediate role of self-esteem. Based on data collected through a self-assessment survey method of 725 college students in Vietnam, the results of the structural equation modeling analysis show that emotional intelligence has a positive impact on cognitive subjective well-being. Simultaneously, self-esteem was found to partially mediate the relationship between emotional intelligence and cognitive subjective well-being. In addition, the results also show that there is a difference in cognitive subjective well-being by family type while there is no difference in cognitive subjective well-being by gender, school year and order of children in the family. From the results, the study is expected to contribute some recommendations for policy makers to improve college students' mental health.

Pain management is a significant challenge due to the side effects associated with commonly prescribed medications like NSAIDs and opioids. Local anesthetics, such as lidocaine, offer an alternative with fewer side effects when formulated in topical patches. Transdermal delivery systems, including heated patches, enhance drug absorption and provide targeted pain relief. This research paper aims to develop and characterize a self-heating transdermal patch of lidocaine for pain management. The drug sample of lidocaine was characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometric analysis, melting point determination, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results confirmed the purity of the drug sample. Pre-formulation studies were conducted to determine the solubility and partition coefficient of lidocaine, as well as drug-excipient interaction studies. The formulation of the lidocaine transdermal patch included the selection of excipients such as solvents, adhesives, solubilizers, and permeation enhancers. The patch was developed in three trial batches, with the final batch prepared using a drug-in-adhesive type approach. The developed patch was evaluated for physical characteristics, solvent residual content, rolling ball test, shear strength, drug crystallization, drug content, and in-vitro permeation. The results of the evaluation showed that the developed lidocaine transdermal patch had the desired physical characteristics, uniform thickness, good folding endurance, and appropriate solvent residual content. It exhibited satisfactory rolling ball test and shear strength. Microscopic examination confirmed the absence of drug crystallization. The drug content of the patch was determined to be within the desired range, and the in-vitro permeation study demonstrated successful drug release through the dialysis membrane. In conclusion, the development and characterization of a self-heating transdermal patch of lidocaine for pain management provide a promising approach for effective and targeted pain relief. The patch formulation demonstrated suitable physical properties, drug content, and permeation characteristics, suggesting its potential as an alternative pain management solution.

Papaya is one of the most important fruit crops of tropical and subtropical regions of the world including India. Though India stands first in production in the world, the productivity is low as compared to other countries due to high incidence of papaya ring spot virus (PRSV-P) attack. As all the cultivated varieties under genus Carica are susceptible to PRSV, investigations were carried out to evaluate fifteen intergeneric hybrid progenies of Arka Prabhath x V. cauliflora and eighty-five progenies of Arka Prabhath x V. cundinamarcencis for morphological, fruit and yield traits coupled with PRSV- P tolerance. Out of fifteen, seven progenies of ‘Arka Prabhath’ x V. cauliflora viz., IGHF1S4-1, IGHF1S4-12, IGHF1S4-13, IGHF1S4-14, IGHF1S4-15, IGHF1S4-17, IGHF1S4-18 and out of eighty-five, six progenies of ‘Arka Prabhath’ x V. cundinamarcensis viz., IGHF1S1-17, IGHF1S1-19, IGHF1S6-20, IGHF1S2-14, IGHF1S5-12 and IGHF1S5-14 recorded desirable traits such as days to first fruiting (240 to 250 days), bearing height (48 to 74 cm), plant height (175 to 200 cm), trunk circumference (37 to 48 cm), fruit weight (1133.67 to 2202.00 g), pulp thickness (2.45 to 4.05 cm), TSS (11.50 to 13.80 ºBrix), fruits/tree (40 to 58) and yield (45.00 to 78.20 kg/tree) coupled with PRSV tolerance with disease score1 (only a few tiny chlorotic spots on leaves). These progenies were selected and forwarded for next generation (F2). The hybridity was also confirmed using SSR marker (mCpCIR59).

Dahlia (Dahlia variabilis) is a tuberous-rooted flower crop, exhibiting rich diversity in flower color and inflorescence form. The study was conducted to quantify diversity in 24 dahlia genotypes based on agronomic traits. The dahlia accessions were grouped based on their similarity for phenotypic resemblance following hierarchal clustering and principal component analysis (PCA). The hierarchical cluster analysis grouped the dahlia accessions into three distinct clusters viz., C1, C2 and C3 comprising 8, 3 and 13 genotypes, respectively. The 24 dahlia genotypes were found scattered across the whole variation observed by PC1 and PC2 (explaining nearly 55.2% of the cumulative total variation). The two-dimensional PCA analysis revealed that the most appropriate traits for grouping the dahlia accessions were plant height, flower weight, stalk length, vase life and number of flowers per plant. The study signifies the importance of germplasm collection, characterization and utilization of dahlia to popularize its commercial cultivation among the flower growers.

Introduction: During covid-19, smartphone can be used as an effective learning media, information center, communication media, and a device to increase students’ knowledge. Many advantages can be obtained by using smartphone during distance learning. However, excessive smartphone use also results in many disadvantages. The students become addicted to the features provided in smartphones. If the user is addicted, then the user will feel anxious if not using the smartphone for too long. This condition is called smartphone addiction. This study was conducted to find characteristic of smartphone use, smartphone addiction percentage, and its percentage according to gender among dental students in University of Sumatera Utara during covid-19. Methods: This study is a descriptive study with the cross-sectional method, using Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV) questionnaire. The questionnaires were distributed using Google forms and then collected and analysed using Microsoft Excel. Total study respondents with the inclusion criteria is 289 respondents (51 male, 238 female). Results: Results showed the most respondents (33,9%) agree that they lost their work plan caused by smartphone use and the least respondents (29,1%) don’t agree that people around them say they use smartphone too often. Most of the respondents (77,9%) are experiencing smartphone addiction (88,2% male, 76,5% female). Conclusion: It was found that the majority of respondents are experiencing smartphone addiction. Further education needed among dental students to know addiction smartphone symptoms earlier and to control smartphone use according to the needs. Keywords: covid-19; dental students; SAS-SV questionnaire; smartphone addtiction

ABSTRACT Introduction: Socket wound would undergo 3 phases of wound-healing process, i.e. inflammation phase, proliferation phase, and re-modelling phase. In proliferation phase, fibroblast cells were important for producing collagen and elastic cells. One of natural ingredients believed to stimulate fibroblasts is Curcuma xanthorriza. The active compounds in curcuma, namely curcumin and flavonoid, had the ability to increase fibroblast migration and accelerate wound healing. This study aims to observe the effectivity of 5% temulawak extract (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) on post-extraction fibroblast cells in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus). Methods: The experiment was conducted on 30 rats that were divided into 2 groups, control group and experimental group. Each group of rats were given intermuscular anesthesia and underwent mandibular incisors extraction. The experiment group was given intermuscular injection of 5% curcuma extract into their wound socket, while control group were given placebo gel injection. On day 3, 5, and 7 decapitation was performed to get the mandibular samples. Furthermore, the number of fibroblast cells was observed using a light microscope with 3 different fields of view at 400 times. Results: The results showed that the mean number of fibroblasts in the experiment group was higher than the control group. Conclusion: 5% temulawak extract (Curcuma xanthorrhiza) had significant effect on increasing post-extraction fibroblast cells in Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus).

AbstractIntroduction: Oromaxillofacial traumas comprise injuries to the face, jaws, or both that are largely caused by physical forces, foreign bodies, or burns; they include injury to any of the bony structures, skin, and soft tissues around the face. Maxillofacial trauma is related to human activity or mobility, so traffic accidents are the highest cause. During the Covid-19 pandemic, human activity was mostly at home with movement restrictions. This paper aims to describe the types of characteristics and management of oromaxillofacial traumas during covid-19 pandemic at the emergency room RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital.Methods:  A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate every maxillofacial trauma in patients treated by the oral surgeon in the emergency room at RSUP Dr.Hasan Sadikin Bandung Hospital. Maxillofacial trauma incidence records were taken directly from case reports department of oral and maxillofacial surgery emergency room patients from January 2020-December 2021. The variables considered were: patient age, gender, etiologies, sites, classifications, and management of the trauma. All the information found is then integrated into a table to be analyzed epidemiologically. Result: 177 maxillofacial trauma patients were registered in the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery report. It was found that the gender ratio, female to male, is equal to 2.3: 7.6. The 18-36 age group accounted for the largest subgroup in both sexes. Motorcycle accidents accounted for as much as 80.22% of the etiology of the most common traumas. While dentoalveolar (28.22%) was the most common site of the fracture, followed by the mandible (23.31%). Injuries around the mouth make up the most portion (62.15%) regarding the area that is directly impacted by the injuries, followed by injuries to the face (18.64%) and injuries to the mouth and nose combined (6.21%). Among the 177 patients mentioned above, 10.17% were hospitalized.Conclusion: It can be concluded from this cross-sectional study that traffic accidents, mainly motorcycle crashes, are the primary cause of traumas, with males being more prone to accidents. Meanwhile, the dentoalveolar fracture was the most common site of fracture. For this reason, we might be better prepared with all the resources necessary to diagnose and treat patients with oromaxillofacial traumas in the future.

Man constructed the atomic bomb without knowing its fundamentals, creating his vision of things by sight deception. He has his seasons but does not know how these come about, other than by error in sight deception. And so it is with most of his theories, while it will enhance him to come to a truth, as it will be in the centuries to come.
