Enhancement of Biolubricant Production from Waste Cooking Oil using Alkali Derived from Oil-Palm empty Fruit Bunches
Authors: Melissa Savwede , P. F. Tarbuka
Published: April 2024

This study focuses on the enhancement of biolubricant production by converting waste-cooking oil methyl esters (WOMEs) through the transesterification process. The potassium hydroxide (KOH) necessary for the transesterification was extracted from Oil-Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) through a multistep procedure involving cutting, sun-drying, burning, and soaking in distilled water. The resulting filtrate contained KOH at a concentration of 0.2 mol/dm³. To optimize the transesterification process, Response Surface Methodology (RSM) employing central composite design (CCD) was utilized. Three critical factors—temperature, mole ratio, and reaction time—were investigated for their influence on biolubricant yield. The study revealed that an optimal biolubricant yield of 98.5% could be achieved under the following pecific conditions: a temperature of 100°C, a mole ratio of 7:1, and a reaction time of 120 minutes. The predicted yield from the optimization correlates closely with the experimental results, indicating the efficacy of the optimization approach. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) underscored the significance of mole ratio and temperature as pivotal factors affecting biolubricant yield. This systematic investigation contributes valuable insights into the transesterification process, offering a sustainable approach to biolubricant production by utilizing waste cooking oil and KOH extracted from OPEFB. The findings provide a foundation for future research in the field of environmentally friendly lubricant synthesis.

Published: April 2024

This study examines the impact of two different types of physics assignments on the academic performance of undergraduate students. In particular, it compares how completing a a small number of complex tasks versus a large number of graded difficult tasks affects student success, as measured by test results and homework. Two groups were used in the quasi-experimental project: one was allocated to the main group (which used a small number of complex tasks), and the other was allocated to the control group (which used a large number of classified complex tasks). The data obtained indicate that there was no noticeable difference in the assimilation of knowledge between the two groups, which suggests that neither approach had a significant impact on students' academic achievements in terms of GPA. In addition, the study did not reveal a noticeable effect of gender differences on the assimilation of information by students.

Leadership Construction in The Qur’an: Meaning and Implications
Authors: Yusuf Kadar M. , Hulawa Djeprin E. , . Alwizar
Published: April 2024

This research aims to describe the concept of leadership from an Islamic perspective, the meanings, and the implications inherent in each term based on textual references from the Qur’an. The theme of leadership in Islam has often been viewed narrowly in connection with the governance of a state, commonly referred to as "Khalifah al-Islamiah." However, each term carries its distinct meaning and implications, most appropriately applied to specific professions and moments. This study is a literature review employing an incorporative approach and descriptive, idealistic, and heuristic methods. Content analysis is used as the analytical technique to objectively and systematically uncover the characteristics of the messages contained within, addressing how the construction of leadership in the Islamic perspective and its meanings and implications truly unfolds. The results of the research reveal that the Qur’an employs several terms related to the theme of leadership in Islam, including caliph, wali, malik, sulthan, uli al-amr, and imâm, each with its unique meaning and implications, all of which are integrated within the persona of a leader. A correct understanding of leadership terms in the Qur'an will have a broad impact on life because the essence of leadership is not for oneself but for leading the world and all creatures in it.

Authors: Umbar Kisno , . Zulkifli , . Maswani
Published: April 2024

The article aims to shed light on the burgeoning trends of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) on a global scale and their relevance to Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP). These trends encompass evolving orientations, novel curriculum developments, and pertinent principles guiding their growth. This contribution addresses the theoretical foundation gap evident in the dearth of Arabic for Specific Purposes (ASP) research on an international level. This study used a systematic literature review (SLR) method to adhere to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol model, with the primary data sources comprising reputable scientific journal articles from the Scopus database. Based on 47 articles, the review reveals that the orientation trends span various domains, including academic, business, medicine, nursing, communication, tourism, politics, professional, religious, and technology. The academic orientation holds the highest percentage at 62%. It also shows a significant disparity between English and Arabic in LSP research trends, with English dominating at 96% compared to a mere 4% for Arabic. Notably, ASP curriculum development is characterised by a diverse array of approaches. Researchers have increasingly integrated other frameworks such as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), Relevance, Integration, Culture, and Holism (RICH), and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This nuanced approach ensures a comprehensive development of ASP while acknowledging the linguistic richness inherent in Arabic.
The Ideological Representation of Iraqi Human Rights Violations in American Online Newspaper Discourse
Authors: Al-qaysi Fouad Husseun Ali , Singh Manjet Kaur Mehar
Published: April 2024

Language used in newspapers can influence the readers' view on the issues published in them. Language is no longer a mere means of communicating information; but it also generates and shapes the social interaction with such issues. This could be achieved through the effective representation of these issues using linguistic expressions. Therefore, this study investigates the ideological representation of human rights violations in newspaper discourse. The data of this study is collected from news articles published in American online newspapers, namely, the Washington Post and New York Times, on the issue of the human rights violations, particularly the right to freedom of peaceful assembly in Iraq. Accordingly, Van Dijk’s (1998) theory of ideology is also employed to examine group ideology and portrayal of "Self" and "Others" in these newspapers. It is found that in both newspapers, group ideology was manifested through presenting positive in-group actions, such as peaceful demonstrations, supporting protesters, resisting and warning against out-group violent procedures. Moreover, the newspapers focused on the victims of protesters (as in-group), while generalizing the negative reactions of government, political parties, and security forces (as out-group) toward protests and protesters.

ASYMMETRIC PERIODIC BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR MOLECULAR DYNAMICS AND COARSE-GRAINED SIMULATIONS OF NUCLEIC ACIDS
Authors: SHYAMALA SRINIVAS
Published: April 2024

Periodic boundary conditions are commonly applied in molecular dynamics simulations in the microcanonical (NVE), canonical (NVT) and isothermal-isobaric (NpT) ensembles. In their simplest application, a biological system of interest is placed in the middle of a solvation box, which is chosen ‘sufficiently large’ to minimize any numerical artefacts associated with the periodic boundary conditions. This practical approach brings limitations to the size of biological systems that can be simulated. Here, we study simulations of effectively infinitelylong nucleic acids, which are solvated in the directions perpendicular to the polymer chain, while periodic boundary conditions are also applied along the polymer chain. We study the effects of these asymmetric periodic boundary conditions (APBC) on the simulated results, including the mechanical properties of biopolymers and the properties of the surrounding solvent. To get some further insights into the advantages of using the APBC, a coarse-grained worm-like chain model is first studied, illustrating how the persistence length can be extracted from local properties of the polymer chain, which are less affected by the APBC than some global averages. This is followed by all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of DNA in ionic solutions, where we use the APBC to investigate sequence-dependent properties of DNA molecules and properties of the surrounding solvent.
A NEW IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF WEED DETECTION
Authors: Kumar S Ranjith , Swetha K
Published: April 2024

The earliest essential method of human subsistence on Earth was agriculture. Weeds are one of the most crucial elements, and in the agricultural sector, weed classification and identification are crucial from a scientific and economical standpoint. In the past, weeds were still identified by physical force in the majority of the planet. Subsequently, several automated methods for weed detection emerged, although they were not very accurate. The most important agricultural technique for increasing crop output and lowering herbicide application costs is weed control. The limitations of current weed detection systems prevent them from producing improved outcomes. This study shows how effective an image-processing technique is for identifying weeds in crops. when it is possible to identify the weeds in the unordered harvest in addition to those that are present collectively. Additionally, by recognizing the weed in recorded video as well as by identifying proof of weed in crop with an image, we can identify the weed and guarantee that it is there in the harvest. When weeds are managed, farming can be kept current by supplying crucial and basic protocols in horticultural frameworks for the future and by distributing inputs precisely where they are required. It offers quick and simple ways to identify and manage weeds.

Authors: Shi Haige
Published: April 2024

As human society enters the digital era in the 21st century, the widespread application of smartphones is reshaping the educational ecosystem. Smartphones not only possess communication, entertainment, and payment functions but also educational and relationship adjustment capabilities. These positive, promotive functions endowed by smartphones are referred to as smartphone potential energy. A survey conducted among students in three English teaching classes at a Beijing university revealed that smartphone potential energy typically plays four roles: resource sharer, direction guide, relationship facilitator, and learning motivator, thereby promoting the construction of university learning organization relationships. Under the influence of smartphone potential energy, organizational relationships shift from a focus on subjective interpersonal relationships to objective neutrality, and organizational structures evolve from linear hierarchical to flat structures, achieving a transition from management to governance, which provides insights for university grassroots student organization managers to scientifically implement organizational management and optimize relationships in the digital era.

Metode Pengabdian Masyarakat ini adalah dengan melakukan Survey, analisis data dan sistem, perancangan dan design, input dan absensi, pelatihan dan Uji Coba. Hasil Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat menunjukan bahwa umumnya sekolah-sekolah masih menggunakan absensi siswa secara konvensional yaitu pada proses pencatatan dan rekapitulasi dengan cara memanggil satu persatu siswa lalu mencatat di buku atau catatan yang telah disediakan oleh sekolah maupun oleh guru tersebut. Kemudian saat rekapitulasi guru masih menghitung jumlah kehadiran atau ketidakhadiran siswa secara manual seperti jumlah sakit, izin maupun tanda kabar atau yang dikenal dengan istilah alpa. Tentunya cara ini akan terasa sulit bagi seorang guru mengingat jumlah siswa yang tidak sedikit. Belum lagi jika seorang guru tersebut harus mengajar di beberapa kelas yang berbeda, mata pelajaran yang berbeda bahkan seorang guru bisa mengajar di beberapa sekolah yang berbeda. Jika terjadi kesalahan terjadinya kesalahan dalam perhitungan jumlah kehadiran siswa tentunya hal ini akan berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar siswa yang tentunya berakibat kerugian bagi siswa tersebut.

Data yang disimpan dalam sebuah dokumen memiliki tingkat keamanan yang sangat rentan, terlebih lagi jika dokumen tersebut tidak memiliki sistem keamanan untuk melindungi kerahasiaan dan keaslian dokumen tersebut. Salah satu cara untuk menjaga keamanan dan kerahasiaan dokumen adalah dengan menggunakan kriptografi. Kriptografi dikenal sebagai ilmu yang mempelajari teknik penyandian menggunakan matematika yang berkaitan dengan aspek keamanan informasi. Keamanan informasi yang dimaksud dapat berupa keabsahan data, kerahasiaan data, kredibilitas data, integritas data, dan autentikasi data. Dalam kriptografi terdapat algoritma-algoritma yang dapat digunakan untuk meningkatkan keamanan dokumen, salah satunya adalah algoritma Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Advanced Encryption Standard adalah salah satu jenis kriptografi simetris dimana kunci yang digunakan untuk proses enkripsi dan dekripsi sama. Aplikasi enkripsi dekripsi yang dibuat berbasis desktop dengan harapan aplikasi ini dapat menjadi alternatif  dalam membantu meningkatkan keamanan dokumen. Pada aplikasi yang dibuat dokumen yang dapat dienkripsi adalah dokumen-dokumen dengan format yang paling sering dijumpai yaitu dokumen dengan format .docx, dan .pdf.

The modern world is facing many challenges such as population growth, the need to provide sufficient food, climate change, increasing environmental pollution, rising energy prices, new environmental regulations, high depletion of oil and other minerals, growing socio-environmental issues, as well as the need for energy security. All these challenges have led to significant progress in the research and development of renewable energy sources, and it is expected that in the search for alternative energy sources in the future the model of renewable energy production from biomass will be a goal to be pursued by most countries. However, in order for this task to be successfully completed in the coming period, it is necessary to overcome several challenges, among which the most important are the economic sustainability of biomass production and collection and its conversion into various forms of bioenergy. Bioenergy is becoming a central issue of sustainability as it reduces greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution and increases diversity and energy security. In this context, the contribution of modern and sustainable bioenergy must be significantly increased in final energy demand, as well as an increase in the share of sustainable low-carbon biofuels in transport fuels. In addition, carbon emissions should be gradually reduced based on life cycle estimates, using biofuels to replace fossil fuels. It should also increase global investment in sustainable and low-carbon bioenergy, including advanced and flexible biorefineries capable of producing energy and products based on biomass and bioeconomy. However, the expansion of the bioeconomy – defined as a set of activities related to innovation, development, production and use of biomass or processes of production of renewable energy, materials and chemical products – should be based on sustainable practices that guarantee greenhouse gas emission reductions and avoidance of adverse effects from ecological, economic and social point of view. Despite the growing consensus on the importance and urgency of accelerating the development of bioenergy and biofuels, investment is not as intensive as necessary, and the implementation of technologies encounters a number of barriers, such as large initial investments, financial risks, volatility in oil and other commodity prices and regulatory uncertainties. This chapter provides an overview of the potentials and future trends in the use of biomass for various types of bioenergy. Special emphasis is placed on the most significant challenges in the processing and use of biomass in the future. Data on the improvement of technologies in the use and processing of biomass in the future, including combustion, co-combustion, gasification, pyrolysis and combined heat and electrical energy, are presented. An overview of some of the most important biofuels of the future is also given, such as: biohydrogen, biobutanol, biooils and bio-dimethyl ether.

T-cell receptor stimulation by antigen bound to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on an antigen-presenting cell (APC) induces protein kinase C (PKC) activation and the formation of the immune synapse (IS), followed by depletion of filamentous actin (F-actin) at the central region of the IS (cIS) and the polarization of multivesicular bodies (MVB) and the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) to the IS. These events lead to polarized exosome secretion at the IS. These exosomes are involved in several crucial immune responses such as autocrine activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T lymphocytes and cytotoxicity. We analysed here how formin-like 1 β (FMNL1β), an actin cytoskeleton-regulatory protein, regulates MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion at the IS in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. IS formation was associated with transient recruitment of FMNL1β to the IS, which was independent of protein kinase C δ (PKCδ). Simultaneous RNA interference of all FMNL1 isoforms prevented MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion, which were restored by FMNL1βWT expression. However, expression of the non-phosphorylatable mutant FMNL1βS1086A did not restore neither MTOC/MVB polarization nor exosome secretion to control levels, supporting the crucial role of S1086 phosphorylation in MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion. In contrast, the phosphomimetic mutant, FMNL1βS1086D, restored MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion. Conversely, FMNL1βS1086D mutant did not recover the deficient MTOC/MVB polarization occurring in a PKCδ-interfered clone, indicating that S1086 FMNL1β phosphorylation alone is not sufficient for MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion. FMNL1 interference inhibited the depletion of F-actin at the cIS, which is necessary for MTOC/MVB polarization. FMNL1βWT and FMNL1βS1086D, but not FMNL1βS1086A expression, restored Factin depletion at the cIS. Thus, actin cytoskeleton reorganization at the IS underlies the effects of all these FMNL1β variants on polarized secretory traffic. Taken together, these results point out a crucial role of S1086 phosphorylation in FMNL1β activation, leading to cortical actin reorganization and subsequent control of MTOC/MVB polarization and exosome secretion.
