Exploring Student Subjectivity in Perceiving Courses Content in the Biology Department at an Islamic Religious University
Authors: Pontiara Pontiara , Ferry Dharma , Damni Albertos
Published: November 2023

Individual interpretations of specific phenomena exhibit a wide range of variations. Some consider higher education to be of utmost importance, while others assert that it is merely a financial burden. Similar perspectives apply to the comparison between science and religion. These interpretations are influenced by the individual's background conducting the assessment and the specific context applied in that evaluation. Likewise, within the context of academic coursework, there is a diversity of opinions regarding the level of difficulty, often dependent on the student's understanding and subjective perspective of the course. This study aims to comprehend and analyse how students majoring in Biology subjectively interpret and perceive their Biology courses. The research employs a qualitative approach using the Grounded Theory methodology. The sample consists of 40 students selected through theoretical sampling. Data collection is conducted via a Google Form-based questionnaire. Some perceive introductory Biology courses as relatively easy, while courses involving calculations are often regarded as the most challenging

Published: November 2023

This study aims to find out the problems that occur such as micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) taxation, trust in the tax authorities, tax morale, and tax socialization on MSME individual taxpayer compliance in the Bandung Regency area since the contribution of tax revenue from the MSME sector is still relatively small. The research method used is quantitative descriptive. The data used in this study were in the form of a questionnaire distributed to individual MSME taxpayers, based on the Slovin formula, to as many as 98 respondents. Data analysis used the partial least square (PLS) analysis technique through SmartPLS software. The results showed that MSME tax incentives had a positive and insignificant effect on MSME individual taxpayer compliance, trust in tax authorities, and tax morale had a positive effect on MSME personal tax compliance, and tax socialization had a positive and insignificant effect on MSME taxpayer compliance. With the results of hypothesis testing, it can be concluded that in the MSME area, Bandung Regency requires tax socialization, especially taxes for taxpayer compliance.
Fast and precise reconstruction of natural polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: novel algorithm and case study
Authors: He Changqing , Wu Haitao , Hua Yi , Tian Ying , He Lin , Sui Hong
Published: November 2023

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are common constituents and
pose significant influences on many separation and conversion processes.
Herein, an efficient approach has been developed to fast and precisely
reconstruct the molecular models for PAHs. The method involves
stochastic reconstruction for a molecular library and artificial neural
network (ANN) optimization for model refinement. Stochastic
reconstruction, aided by modeling matrices, allows fast arrangement of
benzene molecules, simplifying the construction of fused-ring cores. ANN
analysis of multiple PAHs models reveals relationships between modeling
parameters (MPs) and evaluation parameters (EPs). By optimizing
hyper-parameters, a minimal loss function value of 0.085 is achieved,
indicating the high precision of modeling. Case study on interfacially
active asphaltene (IAA) shows successful reconstruction of its molecular
structure, confirmed by experimental results (deviation error
< 10%). These findings provide valuable insights into using
an universal algorithm to fast and precisely reconstruct intricate
natural PAHs and other natural chemical compounds
Is EQ-5D-Y a useful tool to assess health outcomes in children with asthma? An analysis of child and caregiver reporting.
Authors: Wenjing Zhou , Ding Bo , Herdman Michael , Yang Zhihao , Wu Bin , Wang Pei , Busschbach Jan , Lu Yanming , Luo Nan
Published: November 2023

[Background] EQ-5D instruments (HRQOL), incuding the three-level
(Y-3L) and five-level (Y-5L) child-friendly versions (EQ-5D-Y) are
widely employed for assessing health-related quality of life. However,
their effectiveness in children with asthma remains understudied. This
study aimed to assess their performance in pediatric asthma patients and
their caregivers. [Methods] Dyads of asthmatic patients (n=76, aged
8-16.7) and caregivers completed Y-5L and Y-3L, respectively, at two
visits. Test-retest reliability and patient-caregiver agreement were
assessed via intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Known-groups
validity was assessed by comparing scores across varying asthma control
levels. Responsiveness was assessed in children showing improved overall
health and asthma control. [Results] ICCs for test-retest
reliability ranged from 0.744 to 0.898 (self-complete) and 0.525 to
0.767 (proxy), indicating satisfactory reliability. As expected, overall
scores for both EQ-5D-Y versions were higher (better HRQOL) in
well-/partially-controlled asthma patients. Standardized effect sizes
ranged from 0.19 to 1.00 (self-complete), 0.39 to 0.83 (proxy), and 0.26
to 1.40 (EQ VAS) in improved patients. Patient-caregiver agreement
ranged from moderate to good. [Conclusion] Both self-complete and
proxy EQ-5D-Y versions appeared to be suitable for assessing HRQOL in
pediatric asthma patients, with the self-complete version being more
preferable. Further investigation on the responsiveness of EQ-5D-Y is
warranted.
A Study on The Aerodynamic Behaviors Learned from Microscopy Imaging of Beetle Corrugated Hindwing
Authors: Liu Chao , Chen Guodong , Wang Qian , Sun Lining , Wang Kejun
Published: November 2023

Beetle hindwings have the unique advantages of lightweight and high
strength, which play a key role in flight. In this study, the beetle
hindwings were cut along the chordal direction, then the first groove
microstructure of different vein cross sections was investigated using
the 3D microscope system and LSCM. It was found that the position of the
first groove relative to the entire chordal cross-section of the wing
gradually moves backwards, which has an effect on the flying aerodynamic
behaviors of the beetle. Next, three corrugated airfoils (CA models)
learned from the microscopy imaging of ladybird beetle hindwing were
designed. Then aerodynamic behaviors were calculated by ANSYS Fluent
software, it was confirmed that the position of the first groove
microstructure affects the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil. For
further study the influence of corrugated structural and motion
parameters on the aerodynamic, 2D ‘simplified’ airfoil models with
triangular corrugations (TWA models) were developed and studied.
Associations between ANS activity and psychopathic traits: A consideration of differences in association across stress task and psychopathy measures
Authors: Vietto Nicholas , Armstrong Todd , Schroll Dakota , Falatah Sarah Al
Published: November 2023

Despite growing evidence that associations between autonomic nervous
system (ANS) responsivity and psychopathic traits vary across stress
tasks only a single study has systematically assessed cross-task
differences in associations. To advance this limited literature the
current study randomized subjects into either a noise blast (countdown)
task or a social stressor speech task. Analyses estimated associations
between ANS (heart rate, skin conductance) and measures of psychopathic
traits (Self-Report Psychopathy Scale-III, Inventory of
Callous-Unemotional traits, Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale,
Sensation Seeking Scale – Form V). Results indicated that associations
between ANS activity and psychopathic traits varied across stress task,
ANS measure, and psychopathy measure. Associations that were consistent
across analyses included a negative association between heart rate
reactivity to the countdown task and SRP total scores, and a negative
association between skin conductance reactivity to the social stressor
speech task the interpersonal manipulation scale in the SRP. In
addition, there was a negative association between resting skin
conductance and SSS-V total scores.
Sediment dynamics control transient fluvial incision - Comparison of sediment conservation schemes in models of bedrock-alluvial river channel evolution
Authors: Lai Jingtao , Huppert Kimberly , Braun Jean
Published: November 2023

In mountain rivers, sediment from landslides or debris flows can
alluviate portions or even full reaches of bedrock channel beds,
influencing bedrock river incision rates. Various landscape evolution
models have been developed to account for the coevolution of alluvial
cover and sediment-flux-dependent bedrock incision. Despite the
commonality of their aims, one major difference between these models is
the way they account for and conserve sediment. We combine two of the
most widely used sediment conservation schemes, an Exner-type scheme and
an erosion-deposition scheme, with the saltation-abrasion model for
bedrock incision to simulate the coevolution of sediment transport and
bedrock incision in a mixed bedrock-alluvial river. We compare models
incorporating each of these schemes and perform numerical simulations to
explore the transient evolution of bedrock incision rates in response to
changes in sediment input. Our results show that the time required for
bedrock incision rates to reach a time-invariant value in response to
changes in sediment supply is over an order of magnitude faster using
the Exner-type scheme than the erosion-deposition scheme. These
different response times lead to significantly different time-averaged
bedrock incision rates, particularly when the sediment supply is
periodic. We explore the implications of different model predictions for
modeling mixed bedrock-alluvial rivers where sediment is inevitably
delivered to rivers episodically during specific tectonic and climatic
events.
Testing the Plant DiTech Phenotyping Platform for Use in Controlled Water Deficit Experiments

Published: November 2023

Agriculture utilizes large quantities of freshwater resources to
maintain crop production to a level that meets global demand. As the
world population expands at a rapid rate, it is critical that we find
more efficient ways to manage freshwater resources. The Plant DiTech
Phenotyping Platform (Plant-DiTech LTD, Yavne, Israel) is a dynamic
plant screening system that allows researchers to create controlled
environments and rapidly collect a large quantity of physiological
traits in real time. This platform opens the door to hundreds of
potential experiments to explore growth trait responses to future
environmental conditions and irrigation practices. Here, we test its
utility on cultivated rice and upland cotton in a small pilot
experiment. Cultivated rice (Oryza sativa ) and upland cotton
(Gossypium hirsutim ) are both C3 crop species that are grown
throughout the U.S. and many other countries and are critical for food
and fiber production, respectively. Cotton is typically produced in the
warm and dry regions of southern U.S. (USDA-ERS) where it heavily relies
on irrigation practices to remain productive, while rice requires
flooded conditions to maintain high productivity. Using these two test
species for a preliminary experiment, a series of growth trait
measurements in conjunction with system-recorded data by the Plant
DiTech phenotyping platform are analyzed to test the linkages between
organ- and canopy-level traits.
Obszary problemowe w polityce regionalnej UE – Program Operacyjny Rozwój Polski Wschodniej 2007-2013
Authors: Kałuża Halina
Published: November 2023

Podstawową misją polityki strukturalnej UE jest wzrost poziomu spójności wewnętrznej w ramach całej organizacji. Zainteresowanie politykę rozwoju regionalnego wynika z różnic w rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczym regionów Unii Europejskiej. Początkowy okres funkcjonowania polityki regionalnej był związany ze wspieraniem rozwoju poszczególnych regionów Wspólnoty. Były to jednak działania skupione na prostych subwencjach. Od 1975 r., kiedy to utworzono Europejski Fundusz Rozwoju Regionalnego działania te przybrały formę planowanego systemu pomocy strukturalnej. Fundusze strukturalne w Polsce służą zmniejszeniu dystansu rozwojowego wobec innych państw UE, a w układzie regionalnym – zmniejszeniu rozpiętości pomiędzy regionami w naszym kraju. Kierując się tymi przesłankami Rząd Polski wystąpił z inicjatywą opracowania programu na rzecz rozwoju wschodnich województw. Program Operacyjny Rozwój Polski Wschodniej jest jednym z instrumentów polityki regionalnej. Jego intencją jest przyspieszenie tempa rozwoju społeczno-gospodarczego wybranych województw tj.: lubelskie, podkarpackie, podlaskie, świętokrzyskie i warmińsko-mazurskie, a przyjęte cele pozwolą na wyrównanie szans rozwojowych. Program ten stanowi dodatkowy element wsparcia z funduszy strukturalnych, który wzmocni działanie innych programów na obszarze Polski Wschodniej.

Conjunctival Pedicle Graft for the Treatment of Deep and Perfuraded Corneal Ulcers in Dogs
Authors: Damasceno Ana Gabriela
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to present the conjunctival pedicled graft technique in the surgical treatment for deep stromal ulcers, decemetoceles, and corneal perforations in dogs, and to determine the effectiveness of this technique in ulcer healing and preservation of vision. This type of ulcer has been and should be treated as a surgical emergency because of the risk of rupture and vision loss. The conjunctival graft is the treatment of choice, because it provides blood supply to the cornea, contributing to the healing and integrity of the segment. The pedicle type graft was employed because it provides tissue mobility, easy visualization, and topical application of drugs, therefore reducing the dehiscence rate. This study included 10 dogs of different breeds, with procedures performed between January and October 2022 at the Animal Eye Institute clinic, located in Cincinnati/OH. With data collection, it was possible to verify the effectiveness of this technique to treat deep and perforated ulcers and the prevalence of these types of ulcers in brachycephalic dogs.
Key for Identification of Bumblebee Queens from Costa Rica (Apidae: Apinae: Bombini)
Authors: Sánchez-Ocampo Marcela
Published: November 2023

In Costa Rica, five species of bumblebees of the Bombus genus are reported, however, two of these species have practically identical coloration, which makes it difficult to distinguish between populations that reside in the same site. A dichotomous key was generated to identify the bombus queens, and it is determined that the species B. ephippiatus and B. digressus can only be identified by observing their jaw characteristics. On the other hand, it is concluded that the distribution of the species B. weisi, B. digressus and B. mexicanus present more restricted distributions than those of B. pullatus, B. ephippiatus and B. volucelloides, of the latter it is also concluded that it had been confused with B. melaleucus, which is determined to be a species restricted to South America for the moment, although it is not ruled out that it can be collected in the southern part of the country, on the Pacific slope, especially in the La Amistad International Park and the Corcovado National Park.

Comparison between a Handheld Blood Glucometer and a Laboratory Analyzer for Measurement of Blood Glucose in BlueFronted-Amazons (Amazona aestiva) kept in a Zoo
Authors: Morel Ana Paula
Published: November 2023

Measuring blood glucose is a very important parameter to observe, as it is related to the age of the animals, stress levels, pathological, genetic, nutritional issues and endocrine and liver disorders. The portable glucometer and a laboratory glucose analyzer are the main methods chosen to assess blood glucose quickly and effectively. The main objectives of using a portable glucometer are practicality, precision, reduction of sample size and cost retention, as it is a cheaper method. The laboratory glycemic analyzer requires more blood volume to carry out the test, qualified labor to handle the samples and keep the device in good working order, as it is expensive equipment. However, laboratory analyzers are highly accurate and provide accurate measurements of the patient's blood glucose levels, being considered the gold standard for this type of exam. The study aims to evaluate the accuracy, reliability and practicality of both methods of monitoring animals' blood glucose levels. For this work, 31 blood samples were collected from adult birds of the Amazona aestiva species, weighing between 305 and 505 grams. The birds were subjected to inhalation anesthesia with isoflurane to remove 1 ml of blood, in order to compare the values obtained after measuring blood glucose using a portable glucometer and the laboratory analysis method. The results obtained differ between techniques as 30,15% of blood glucose is underestimated by the portable glucometer. Therefore, we conclude that the use of this portable glucometer is not suitable for measuring blood glucose in blue-fronted parrots (A. aestiva).

Morphological and metrical analyses of sclerotized parts of haptor and body morphology and anatomy of monogeneans from Antarctic rockcod Notothenia coriiceps Richardson revealed the presence of a new species, Pseudobenedenia coriicepsi sp. n., supported with molecular studies, EDXA and scanning electron microscopy. New species differs from Pseudobenedenia nototheniae Johnston, 1931 by characteristic shape of anterior hamulus, size of sclerotized structures of haptor, measurements of the body, measurements ratios, v-shaped consistent commissure in vitellaria field, relative proportions of body and haptor, unlobed testes, and by host species. Published drawings of sclerotized parts of haptor and measurements of the species of the genus Pseudobenedenia Johnston, 1931 are provided for comparison and discussed. Status of P. nototheniae as species complex and host-specificity in this group are discussed. Molecular data of the P. coriicepsi sp. n. (partial 18S and 28S) were generated to provide the first molecular analysis for any species of Pseudobenedenia to date. Phylogenetic analyses inferred from the two molecular markers indicate that P. coriicepsi sp. n. is closely related to the species of the genus Benedenia and formed a sister clade to it as positioned under the family Capsalidae.

This paper reports a case of congenital cutaneous fibropapillomatosis in a piglet from a swine-producing farm in the municipality of Concórdia, Santa Catarina - Brazil. The main gross lesion was an exophytic mass with a pinkish color, irregular surface, and margins, sometimes with a cerebrum-like appearance, extending from the right cervical and scapular regions to the craniomedial portion of the right forelimb. Histologically, the mass consisted of a well-delimited proliferation of fibrous tissue in the superficial dermis, covered by a proliferation of keratinocytes with low cellular atypia. Diffuse and severe hyperkeratosis of the epidermis was also observed. Immunohistochemistry for papillomavirus was negative, indicating that this animal had spontaneous non-viral papillomatosis. This condition is rare in pigs, with only two other cases described in the literature.
Exploring Psychic Dimensions in Dimension
Authors: Pant Dr. Deepika
Published: November 2023

The human psychology, in varying proportions, has always been an inherent part of literature across the world. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that psychoanalysis has been widely used in the study of literature throughout the ages. It is the high compatibility and the ability that it provides to understand the text with more clarity brings it together with literature. It is pertinent to note that literature depicts human psyche and its conflicts whereas psychoanalysis examines it. It can be said that the analysis of literature from a psychoanalytical perspective broadens one’s understanding about the complexities of the human mind. Keeping in view all such points and the limitation imposed by the diminutive frame of short stories Karen Horney’s theory aptly suits to fill all the gaps in the narrative to understand the characters in a better way.
This paper attempts to understand psychologically complex characters presented in the story Dimension written by Alice Munro. Third wave psychoanalytical theory given by Karen Horney, has been used as a tool for the required purpose.

This study aimed at determining the methods used in translating song lyrics on Harry's house album on Indolirik YouTube channel. The theory used in analyzing the data is Newmark theory (1988) which explained that there were two approaches in translating text namely SL Emphasis (Domestication) in which the emphasis was on the source language and the other one was TL Emphasis (Foreignization) in which the emphasis was on the target language. Newmark (1988) also explained there were eight methods of translations, namely, word for word, literal, faithful, semantic, adaptation, free, idiomatic, and communicative translation. The researcher conducted a descriptive qualitative method in analyzing the data. The data were taken from the translation of song lyrics on Harry's house album on Indolirik YouTube channel, which consisted of 5 songs and 111 song lyrics. The findings of this research showed that there were 6 types of translation methods used by Indolirik YouTube channel in translating the lyrics. From the analyzed data, Indolirik YouTube channelused Literal translation (43,25%), Word-for-Word translation (5,41%), Free translation (10,81%), Idiomatic Translation (17,11%), and Communicative translation (23,42%).  It was also found that the translator mostly used the literal translation process, it means that the translation products focused on the source language in translating the song lyrics rather than the target one.

The disruption era creates a social arrangement of life that adapts to the conditions and goals set. Indonesia, a Muslim majority, must be adjusted by educational innovations, namely independent learning. Adaptation and adoption are a necessity. Islamic higher education must be reformulated, characterised by a balance of human behaviour and the role of technology in education. The study explores how Islamic higher education can compete in society era 5.0. The results show that Merdeka Belajar innovation is carried out by developing in harmony with Merdeka Belajar curricula and multilevel learning innovations. While strengthening Islamic higher education is based on aqidah sohihah, philosophy, five senses, intuition, character, rationality, and authority as a source of knowledge, all of which must be used as an inspirational approach. The competitive advantage of Islamic higher education needs leadership skills and human resources, teamwork differentiation, cooperation network, service quality differentiation, financial innovation, religious culture, and quality culture. The research implies that the better the independent learning innovation, the more vital Islamic higher education through multifunctional, adaptive, and flexible learning with the highest level of competitive quality creates Islamic education that can be applied in society era 5.0

Published: November 2023

Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah adanya kebutuhan para peternak akan adanya sistem pemantauan gas berbahaya untuk kandang peternakan ayam. Setiap harinya ayam mengeluarkan kotoran 0.1 kg/hari untuk setiap satu ekor ayam yang jika menumpuk dan tidak didaur ulang akan menyebabkan polusi udara, serta terbentuknya gas berbahaya yaitu amonia dan metana. Gas amonia yang berlebihan dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan ayam dan juga manusia di sekitarnya. Sedangkan gas metana dapat mencemari udara serta merupakan salah satu gas rumah kaca. Dengan kondisi tersebut diperlukan sistem monitoring kondisi udara agar tidak kadar kedua gas berbahaya tersebut tidak berlebihan. Penelitian ini mengusulkan pemantauan gas berbahaya  tersebut menggunakan sensor dan berbasis Internet of Things (IoT). Tujuannya agar peternak dapat melakukan pemantauan dari jarak jauh dengan menggunakan perangkat smart phone. Perangkat yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah sensor MQ-4 untuk deteksi metana, sensor MQ-135 untuk deteksi amonia dan ESP8266 sebagai microcontroller untuk perangkat IoT. Hasil penelitian ini dapat membantu peternak untuk menjaga kualitas udara di lingkungan kandang peternakan ayam yang dikelolanya.
Economic Development and Convergence In Sumatra Island, Indonesia

The island of Sumatra, one of the largest contributors to the Indonesian economy, has experienced increased economic growth from time to time, but the acceleration of growth from each province has a different pace.  This study aims to analyze the development and convergence of real per capita income that occurred on the island of Sumatra from 2011-2020, using panel data from 10 provinces in it. The novelty of this study incorporates Klassen's analysis as an effort to provide more concrete recommendations as well as the calculation of the half-life value per province which illustrates the convergence speed of each region. This can support the strength of the recommendation. We also divide the two observation periods, namely during normal conditions, and include 2020 as the year the economic shock occurred to compare changes in the convergence rate. Klassen's typology of economic development on the island of Sumatra for the 2016-2020 period shows a shift in the Riau Island Province towards being depressed and Bangka Belitung in the lagging zone. Meanwhile, Aceh Province is getting closer to the potential zone line. The level of inequality from the average value of the Williamson index is classified as moderate and during the year of observation shows an increase in value indicating convergence. The Covid-19 pandemic has reduced inequality, But on the other hand, the pandemic has also caused a decrease in real income in all the provinces observed, which means that welfare has decreased. The half-time value of each province implies economic stagnation that will occur in depressed developed regions and opens up opportunities for underdeveloped regions to spur growth in their real per capita income. In measuring the convergence itself, there was a convergence of real income per capita on the island of Sumatra. In other words, the conditional convergence model has a relatively higher convergence speed than the absolute convergence model. As an implication of the study, efforts to equalize per capita income on the island of Sumatra can be accelerated by spurring economic growth, HDI, and the distribution of gross fixed capital in areas that are in quadrants 3 and 4. Policies in eradicating poverty are a booster in accelerating the convergence process.

The pathogenesis of Lupus Nephritis (LN) is still unclear, causing difficulties in diagnosis and therapeutic management. Recent studies have suggested that microRNAs (miRNAs) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of LN. However, the role of miRNA-451a in LN has not been widely studied and known, and there is controversy in the results of studies that have been done. This study aimed to analyze the expression of miRNA-451a in LN and lupus without nephritis and to evaluate its correlation with hemoglobin levels, leukocyte count, leukocyturia, and erythrocyturia. Samples from 45 lupus participants were collected, consisting of 22 with LN and 23 without nephritis. The expression of microRNA 451a was determined by reverse transcriptase real-time PCR. Renal disorder criteria based on ACR criteria. Statistical analysis using Mann-Whitney, Spearman correlation, ROC curve, and table 2X2. MiRNA-451a expression in LN (median 0.31; range 0.06-7.21) was lower than in lupus without nephritis (median 1.31; range 0.07-13.26) with a significant difference (p=0.041). The cut-off value for comparing the two groups was 0.7531 with an accuracy of 75%. The correlation between miRNA 451a expression and hemoglobin levels, blood leukocyte count, erythrocyturia, and leukocyturia showed no significant correlation (p > 0.05). MicroRNA-451a expression in lupus nephritis was lower than in lupus without nephritis.
“Don’t despise us!”

This paper attempts to develop a novel insight into Hannah Arendt’s socio-political theories in order to examine and alleviate the socio-spatial exclusion of the vulnerable by greater society. It utilises Arendt’s classification of the terms ‘communal’ and ‘irrelevant’ as a pair of opposing concepts in which the state of ‘vulnerability’ is associated with being deemed to be ‘irrelevant’ within society. The study addresses the exclusionary qualities of public spaces by focusing on the complex relationships observed between these concepts in Turkey through a content analysis of 35 national satire magazines and 30 YouTube channels that reflect on various states and perceptions of vulnerability in Turkish society and culture. It concludes with a series of recommendations by which to close the gap within the communal-irrelevant duality that could enhance vulnerable individuals’ urban rights.
