Published: July 2024

Canine visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a zoonosis caused by the protozoan Leishmania infantum. The lymph nodes, spleen, and skin are essential organs in the immunopathogenesis of the disease. This study aimed to investigate the histomorphological alterations and parasite load in the popliteal lymph node, spleen, and skin of eleven VL-positive dogs in the fine needle aspiration (FNA), Dual-path Platform chromatographic immunoassay (DPP® CVL rapid test) and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Histopathological and immunohistochemical methods were used to evaluate the samples, and the results showed variable histopathological changes and parasite load. The popliteal lymph nodes and spleen exhibited granulomatous reaction, lymphoid atrophy, presence of plasma cells, and disorganization of the architecture was marked. The skin showed multifocal to diffuse inflammation in the superficial dermis, composed of lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and granulomatous reaction. Immunodetection of the parasite Leishmania sp. was observed in all organs. The intensity of histological changes was not associated with the higher number of parasitized macrophages. The popliteal lymph node had the highest median parasite load (11.2) compared to the skin and spleen. Statistically, the Pearson correlation test revealed a highly significant correlation in the parasite load between the popliteal lymph node and spleen (r=0.89081, p=0.0002) and between the popliteal lymph node and skin (r=0.71185, p=0.0140). The study concludes that VL-positive dogs’ lymph nodes, spleen, and skin suffer histomorphological alterations that could be one of the aspects that favor the maintenance of the infection.

Published: July 2024

Direct drying for seaweed is preferable for local farmers since it costs no additional processing. However, the degradation of the dried product causes economic drawbacks, which means further methods can be developed to solve the problem. In this work, improvement is made by using a closed drying method for seaweed products and combined with a solar collector as an air heater. The high evaporation increases the humidity within the drying chamber, which improves up to 17.8%. In contrast, the supplied dry air from the collector reduces the humidity within the drying chamber, which becomes lower (4.4%) than the ambient. The closed method indicates a maximum temperature of 48.6°C and 53.7°C (with collector), while the ambient temperature is only 36.8°C. It makes the closed drying receive more solar energy, resulting in more water evaporation from the product up to 87.5% compared to the direct method (70.8%). It provides a simple and low-cost approach that can maximize the harvested solar energy for the drying process. It is suitable for supporting local farmers and maintaining sustainability through renewable energy.

The Effect of Chisel Sharpening and Without Chisel Sharpening on the Surface Roughness of the Piston Waste Casting Material
Authors: Betan Agustinus Deka
Published: July 2024

This research begins with the casting process of motorcycle piston waste and then continues with the turning process on conventional lathes. The purpose of this machining process is to identify the quality of the surface roughness of the turned casting product. The surface roughness quality of the turning product to be applied must show high precision and not experience significant surface defects. To get the surface quality, there are many machining variables that need to be considered, one of which is the use of lathe chisels. The turning tool becomes an important component during the turning process to form various forms of products produced through the mediation of rotary motion and tool motion resulting in large and small friction. This friction that occurs will depend on the sharpness of the chisel itself. The problem studied is the use of sharpened and non-sharpened chisels in terms of product surface roughness during the turning process. In addition, this study will vary the variable thickness of the feed which varies 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm to be a factor in finding out the quality of turning products. While the spindle rotation of the lathe used is 240 rpm, 350 rpm, 430 rpm. From the experiments on turning the casting product, it was found that the lowest surface roughness quality was obtained with the N6 sharpened chisel of 1.13 mm while the N6 unsharpened chisel was 1.19 mm.Keywords: lathe chisel, casting, piston waste, turning, surface roughness value.

Published: July 2024

AbstrakAluminium merupakan salah satu jenis logam ringan yang banyak digunakan dan menjadi logam utama pada konstruksi alat transportasi. Aluminium paduan seri AA2024-T3 menjadi salah satu tipe yang banyak digunakan pada badan pesawat terbang. Hal ini karena paduan aluminium seri AA2024-T3 memiliki sifat mampu bentuk (formability) yang baik, tahan terhadap korosi dan memiliki berat yang ringan. Penggunaan paduan ini pada konstruksi yang memerlukan penyambungan las khususnya las MIG atau TIG, ternyata menghasilkan performa yang tidak baik karena menghasilkan porositas dan retak panas (hot cracking). Salah satu solusi untuk memperbaiki kualitas hasil las pada AA2024-T3 adalah dengan melakukan pengelasan menggunakan metode friction stir welding (FSW). FSW merupakan pengelasan solid state yang tidak memerlukan bahan tambah, hemat energi dan ramah lingkungan. Permasalahan yang muncul pada hasil las FSW adalah adanya distorsi yang cukup besar dan menurunnya sifat mekanik hasil las. Oleh karena diperlukan perlakuan tambahan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, diantaranya adalah dengan memberikan perlakuan mekanik berupa rolling. Metode yang digunakan adalah memberikan perlakuan rolling pasca las FSW dengan beban 300 kg. Untuk mengetahui dampak dari pemberian perlakuan rolling maka dilakukan pengukuran distrosi, uji foto makro dan mikro, uji distribusi kekerasan dan pengujian kekuatan tarik. Kekuatan tarik tertinggi diperoleh pada spesimen mekanikal yaitu 334.6 MPa, sedangkan pada spesimen as welded diperoleh nilai tegangan tarik sebesar 333.5 MPa. Butiran mikro pada daerah las berbentuk fine grain equiaxed. Nilai distorsi dan distribusi antar kedua spesimen hampir serupa, dan nampaknya perlakuan rolling pasca las dengan beban 300 kg tidak memberikan dampak yang signifikan.Kata kunci : aluminium, rolling, friction stir welding, distorsi.

Financial inclusion and social protection have been recognised as the primary essential stimuli from the potential they carry as avenues for economic development, especially with respect to reduction in poverty and inequalities, the creation of employment and the enhancement overall welfare and livelihood. However, inclusive access to financial resources and equitable access to social protection interventions have remained a significant concern in Nigeria. In addition, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the weakness of Nigeria in all sectors of the economy such as energy, health, education and food systems and low-level inclusive access to financial resources and social protection coverage. On the other hand, this study argues that financial inclusion and social protection has the potential to mitigation shocks orchestrated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study empirically examines how social protection interventions and access to financial resources responded to COVID-19 pandemic. The study made use of data sourced from the World Bank’s COVID-19 national longitudinal phone survey 2020 and applied the logit regression. The findings show that social protection and access to financial resources significantly associated with the likelihood of shock mitigation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results show that social protection intervention reduces the probability of being severely affected by shocks by 0.431. Given this result, the study recommends that the government should put more effort into proper social protection intervention to mitigate the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Social emergence in cryptocurrency systems and their open, self-organized development
Authors: Céspedes Esteban
Published: July 2024

Being supposedly the ground for an exchange system that does not depend on central, top-down regulation, cryptocurrencies increasingly need new algorithmic and policy-driven rules to maintain their trustworthiness and capacity to exhibit empirically supported growth. The present paper offers a conceptual and philosophical discussion on whether and how cryptosystems could be able to generate resilient development in a way that is coherent with a non-reductionist view of positive economics. As proposed, a plausible way to understand them can be achieved considering their complexity and their concrete, local features, which have to be grasped both in terms of formal and material specificity.

This investigation extends into the intricate fabric of customer-based corporate reputation within the banking industry, applying advanced analytics to decipher the nuances of customer perceptions. By integrating structural equation modeling, particularly through SmartPLS4, we thoroughly examine the interrelations of perceived quality, competence, likeability, and trust, and how they culminate in customer satisfaction and loyalty. Our comprehensive dataset is drawn from a varied demographic of banking consumers, ensuring a holistic view of the sector’s reputation dynamics. The research reveals the profound influence of these constructs on customer decision-making, with likeability emerging as a critical driver of satisfaction and allegiance to the bank. We also rigorously test our model’s internal consistency and convergent validity, establishing its reliability and robustness. While the direct involvement of Business Intelligence (BI) tools in the research design may not be overtly articulated, the analytical techniques and data-driven approach at the core of our methodology are synonymous with BI’s capabilities. The insights garnered from our analysis have direct implications for data-driven decision-making in banking. They inform strategies that could include enhancing service personalization, refining reputation management, and improving customer retention efforts. We acknowledge the need to more explicitly detail the role of BI within the research process. BI’s latent presence is inherent in the analytical processes employed to interpret complex data and generate actionable insights, which are crucial for crafting targeted marketing strategies. In summary, our research not only contributes to academic discourse on marketing and customer perception but also implicitly demonstrates the value that BI methodologies bring to understanding and influencing consumer behavior in the banking sector. It is this blend of analytics and marketing intelligence that equips banks with the strategic leverage necessary to thrive in today’s competitive financial landscape.

Authors: Arduini Simona , Beck Tommaso , Menzatyuk Andriana
Published: July 2024

Firms, recognizing their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), are becoming catalysts for societal change by integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria into their activities. The fashion industry exemplifies this effort, with an increasing number of companies embracing sustainability and ethical practices. In this context, our purpose is to provide a clear and comprehensive picture of the link between sustainability and business performance in the fashion industry. This work presents a Multivariate Regression Analysis, scrutinizing both external perspectives through stock prices and internal perspectives via profitability indices. Our aim is to discern the intricate relationship between sustainability practices and financial performance within the fashion industry, aligning ESG criteria with long-term economic success. Our regression analysis reveals a significant positive correlation between ESG scores and stock prices, indicating investor recognition of ESG performance as a crucial investment criterion. However, when focusing internally on profitability, the ESG score does not exhibit statistical significance, suggesting a yet-to-be-established connection between ESG policies and corporate profitability. This study underscores the evolving role of companies as sustainability promoters, emphasizing the crucial role of ESG performance in shaping investor perceptions. Nevertheless, it also highlights the need for further exploration into the intricate relationship between sustainable policies and corporate profitability. As businesses increasingly embrace sustainability, in fact, it could become paramount for informed decision-making and fostering ethical societal and environmental progress.
Música e política: reflexões à luz do pensamento de Giorgio Agamben
Authors: Buchard Alan Barbosa
Published: July 2024

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar a relação entre música e política na filosofia de Giorgio Agamben (1942-). Stricto sensu, a temática aparece em duas obras do no corpus agambeniano: em Infância e história (1978) e em O que é a filosofia? (2016). A compreensão das teses e argumentos do filósofo italiano pressupõe o recurso à duas outras obras: A linguagem e a morte (1982) e Ideia da Prosa (1985). Nessas últimas, Agamben enfrenta o problema do declínio da experiência humana na contemporaneidade – herança benjaminiana – e da relação entre experiência poética e linguagem filosófica – herança heideggeriana. A análise agambeniana da relação entre música e política parte de uma premissa aristotélica – a coesão originária entre política e poesia – e de uma premissa platônica – a identidade entre música (palavra das musas) e filosofia (música suprema). Verificaremos, como conclusão, que a reforma da política contemporânea implica uma reformulação da “tonalidade afetiva” (Stimmung), ou do estado musical, da sociedade ocidental.
Palavras-chave: Agamben; política; música; filosofia.

The secondary aim investigates differences in these factors across Division I competition levels (i.e., G5, FCS, DI-NO). This study provides valuable insights into NCAA Division I collegiate athletes' mental well-being, uncovers obstacles to seeking help, such as perceived stigma and coach attitudes, and suggests improvements for institutional psychological programs. In understanding these psychological challenges and barriers, the research aims to inform the development of more effective mental well-being strategies and interventions for collegiate athletes.
Sovereignty and Human Rights: Examining Sustainable Plantation Enterprises in Indonesia
Authors: Hairan Hairan , Negara Tunggul Anshari Setia , Koeswahyono Imam , Sugiri Bambang
Published: July 2024

The Sovereignty Principle in the Plantations Law legalizes dynamics that disproportionately empower plantation companies while disenfranchising indigenous peoples. Under this principle, plantation permits are granted to companies, not indigenous communities, limiting the latter's involvement in mandatory deliberations set by the law. Consequently, indigenous peoples are coerced into relinquishing their lands in exchange for compensation, leading to the erosion of their collective land rights. This practice is at odds with the protections intended under Article 28D Paragraph (1) and Article 28H Paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia, which safeguard collective rights to property. The lack of political will to recognize and protect these rights suggests a troubling disregard for the existence and sovereignty of indigenous peoples.

Authors: Halim Kusuma Indawati
Published: July 2024

Investor decisions to invest in a company are partially influenced by the company's value. Investors are increasingly attracted to companies that can generate sustainable profits, ultimately enhancing the company's value. This study aims to analyze the influence of intellectual capital, profitability, leverage, and asset turnover on company value, using a sample of companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the primary consumer products sector between 2017 and 2021. Using purposive sampling, 61 companies were selected as samples. With observations over 5 years, a total of 305 data observations were obtained. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to secondary data sourced from the financial accounts of the selected organizations. The correlational relationship between the dependent variable and the regressors was determined by analyzing the data obtained using SPSS tools. The study results indicate that intellectual capital does not affect company value, profitability, and asset turnover positively affect company value, but leverage negatively affects company value. The positive impact of profitability and asset turnover indicates that an increase in these factors will enhance the company's value. Conversely, the negative impact of leverage suggests that an increase in leverage will decrease the company's value.

Published: July 2024

Clear pronunciation is a critical component of successful communication, essential for developing both speaking and listening skills. However, pronunciation challenges often arise due to differences between written and spoken forms of a language, as well as the influence of a speaker's native language. This study examines the production of English dental fricative consonant sounds by Sundanese students from English and non-English departments at Widyatama University, Indonesia. The study aims to identify common pronunciation errors and their causes, comparing students who have extensive English training with those who do not. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, supported by content analysis, to analyze the pronunciation of 10 students—five from each department. The findings reveal significant differences in pronunciation accuracy between the two groups, with English Department students generally performing better. Common errors include the substitution of dental fricatives with alveolar stops and labiodental fricatives with bilabial plosives. The primary causes of these errors are attributed to insufficient practice, lack of phonetic awareness, and interference from the native Sundanese language. This research highlights the need for targeted pronunciation training and increased phonetic awareness to improve English pronunciation skills among non-English majors.

PENGGUNAAN MATRIKS ORDO 7X4 DAN HILL CIPHER DALAM MODIFIKASI METODE PLAYFAIR CIPHER
Authors: Sylviani Sisilia , Permana Fahmi Candra
Published: July 2024

Artikel ini membahas tentang modifikasi Playfair Cipher dan penggabungan dengan Hill cipher. Modifikasi Playfair Cipher dilakukan dengan mengubah matriks playfair 5x5 menjadi matriks 7x4 dimana disertakan simbol “*” dan “#”. Matriks 7x4 ini membuat korespondensi satu ke satu antara plaintext dan ciphertext yang membuat proses enkripsi dan dekripsi jauh lebih mudah dan tidak menimbulkan keambiguan. Teks lebih tidak mudah terbaca saat muncul simbol-simbol ini dalam ciphertext. Setelah dilakukan enkripsi dengan metode playfair, selanjutnya akan diteruskan dengan metode hill cipher dengan bilangan modulo 28. Ciphertext yang dihasilkan akan lebih beragam dibandingkan sebelumnya dan proses enkripsi dan dekripsi lebih rumit.
