Hydrophobic Nanoparticles Drives Size-Dependent Remodelling in Asymmetric Bilayers
Authors: Noh Sang , Notman Rebecca
Published: July 2020

The interactions between heterogeneous components in a biomimetic bilayer controls its physical properties such as its rigidity, local and bulk curvature and propensity towards phenomena such as membrane fission and fusion. In particular, membrane proteins (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs) have been subjects of intense interest due to their similar scale to the bilayer width and because of their ability to affect local membrane structure. However, how such NPs interact in the presence of heterogeneous aggregates in the bilayer has been the subject of much debate, especially its effect on raft-like structures. To better understand the effects of hydrophobic integration of nanoscale components on such raft-like structures, we have simulated a series of generic hydrophobic NPs interacting with a phase-separating two-component surfactant bilayer. We find that the hydrophobic NP tends to aggregate at the phase interface, acting as a line tension relaxant i.e. a lineactant on the phase separated interface, which results in differing demixing behavior. In particular, we demonstrate that depending on the size of the NP, the effect of the line tension can drive the a cap/bud formation around the NP, ultimately resulting in the formation of a NP-micelle structure.

Published: July 2020

The SARS-CoV-2 outbreak caused an unprecedented global public health threat, having a high transmission rate with currently no drugs or vaccines approved. An alternative powerful additional approach to counteract COVID-19 is in silico drug repurposing. The SARS-CoV-2 main protease is essential for viral replication and an attractive drug target. In this study, we used the virtual screening (VS) protocol with both long-range and short-range interactions to select candidate SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors. First, the ISM applied for Small Molecules was used for searching the Drugbank database and further followed by molecular docking. After in silico screening of drug space, we identified 57 drugs as potential SARS-CoV-2 main protease inhibitors that we propose for further experimental testing.
Two-Field Transverse Relaxation-Optimized Spectroscopy for the Study of Large Biomolecules – an in Silico Investigation
Authors: Bolik-Coulon Nicolas , Pelupessy Philippe , Bouvignies Guillaume , Ferrage Fabien
Published: July 2020

Biomolecular NMR spectroscopy has greatly benefited from the development of TROSY-type pulse sequences, in pair with specific labeling. The selection of spin operators with favorable relaxation properties has led to an increase in the resolution and sensitivity of spectra of large biomolecules. However, nuclei with a large chemical shift anisotropy (CSA) contribution to relaxation can still suffer from large linewidths at conventional magnetic fields (higher than 9 T). Here, we introduce the concept of two-field TROSY (2F-TROSY) where the chemical shifts of nuclei with large CSA is labeled at low fields (ca. 2 T) dramatically reducing the contribution of CSA to relaxation. Signal detection is performed at high field (> 9 T) on a nucleus with efficient TROSY interference to yield high-resolution and sensitivity. We use comprehensive numerical simulations to demonstrate the power of this approach on aromatic 13C-19F spin pairs for which a TROSY pulse sequence has recently been published. We predict that the 2F- TROSY experiment shall yield good quality spectra for large proteins (global tumbling correlation times as high as 100 ns) with one order of magnitude higher sensitivity than the single-field experiment.

Published: July 2020

The dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) thermocouple is a promising can- didate for thermal heat batteries that absorb and store solar energy as chemical energy without the need for insulation. However, in order to be viable the energy storage capacity and lifetime of the high energy form (i.e. the free energy barrier to the back reaction) of the canonical parent compound must be increased significantly to be of practical use. We use semiempirical quantum chemical methods, machine learning, and density functional theory to virtually screen over 230 billion substituted DHA molecules to identify promis- ing candidates. We identify a molecule with a predicted energy density of 0.38 kJ/g, which is significantly larger than the 0.14 kJ/g computed for the parent compound. The free energy barrier to the back reaction is 11 kJ/mol higher than the parent compound, which should correspond to a half-life of about 10 days - 4 months. This is considerably longer than the 3-39 hours (depending on solvent) observed for the parent compound and sufficiently long for many practical applications. However, the main conclusion of this study is that there are no molecules among the 230 billion with a storage density approaching 1 kJ/g.
Measuring Deaths from COVID-19
Authors: Aliprantis Dionissi , Tauber Kristin
Published: July 2020

Medical data are new to the analyses and deliberations of Federal Reserve monetary policymakers, but such data are now of primary importance to policymakers who need to understand the virus’s trajectory to assess economic conditions and address the virus’s impacts on the economy. The number of deaths caused by COVID-19 is one key metric that is often referred to, but as with other COVID metrics, it is a challenge to measure accurately. We discuss the issues involved in measuring COVID-19 deaths and argue that the change in the number of directly observed COVID-19 deaths is a reliable and timely metric for assessing the state and trajectory of the pandemic, which is critical given the current inconsistencies in testing and limitations of hospitalization data.
Membaca ‘Kuasa’ Michel Foucault dalam Konteks ‘Kekuasaan’ di Indonesia
Authors: Kebung Konrad
Published: July 2020

This article presents Foucault’s ambitious thoughts on various historical events in the past and sees how people faced and reacted to all these events in different eras of thinking, ways of life, cultures and historical settings. He works with past events, yet his objective is to constitute a history of the present. His rich analyses in his works are classified in three main axes, namely the axis of knowledge, of power, and of ethics or subject. The author of this article also presents Foucault’s notion on power as practiced throughout the history of systems of thought, and how this way of thinking can be read into in any political power, or how Foucault’s thinking can be seen as a criticism on various repressive powers practiced everywhere, including in Indonesia.
Memahami Konsep Kepentingan Diri menurut Agustinus dan Hobbes
Authors: Alwino Alfensius
Published: July 2020

While for Plato, self-interest is a harmonization between reason, emotion, and lust, for Augustine, it is a dark act rooted in self-love. Plato is of the opinion that emotions and passions must be subordinated to reason. Augustine believes that reason, emotion, and lust are to be subjugated to the absolute God since God is the source of harmony. Hobbes dismisses the idea of God as the source of harmony because God is considered as a metaphysical concept that is incomprehensible and cannot be proven empirically. Hobbes’ approach is scientific and empirical. A society should be based not on the idea of God as the source of harmony, but on the power of the leviathan, because in Hobbes’ view the natural state of humans is bellum omnium contra omnes.

Devido à ação antrópica sob o habitat natural do Bradypus variegatus, esta espécie encontra-se em risco de extinção. Um dos principais pontos para a conservação de espécies em extinção é conhecer sua anatomia e fisiologia. Porém, para o B. variegatus, com hábito exclusivamente herbívoro, onde se alimentam de folhas, flores, brotos, talos verdes e frutos, estas sendo sua principal fonte de ingestão hídrica, falta literatura sobre o funcionamento e aspectos anatômicos de seus rins. Logo, realizou-se um estudo da anatomia macroscópica dos rins e de suas estruturas vasculares, que atravessam o hilo renal. O objetivo é avaliar se sua estrutura possui diferenças anatômicas que justifiquem o baixo consumo de água. Oito pares de rins provenientes de bichos-preguiça adultos, pertencentes ao acervo do Departamento de Morfologia e Fisiologia Animal (DMFA) da UFRPE, foram utilizados para o estudo. Os rins foram retirados, dissecados, identificados e avaliados macroscopicamente. Os rins em B. variegatus apresentam forma elíptica, semelhante a um grão de feijão. Possui uma margem côncava e lisa, enquanto a outra é convexa, aonde se faz presente o hilo renal, com a presença das estruturas vasculares. Não foram observadas divisões em lobos, sendo classificado como órgão unilobado liso.
Accuracy comparison of interior orientation parameters from different photogrammetric software and direct linear transformation method
Authors: DURAN Zaide , ATİK Muhammed Enes
Published: July 2020

The integration of computer vision algorithms and photogrammetric methods leads to procedures that increasingly automate the image-based 3D modeling process. The main objective of photogrammetry is to obtain a three-dimensional model using terrestrial or aerial images. Calibration of the camera and detection of the orientation parameters are important for obtaining accurate and reliable 3D models. For this purpose, many methods have been developed in the literature. However, since each method has different mathematical background, calibration results may be different. In this study, the effect of camera interior orientation parameters obtained from different methods on the accuracy of three-dimensional model will be examined. In this context, a test area consisting of 21 points was used. The test network was coordinated in a local coordinate system using geodetic methods. Some points of the test area were selected as the check point and accuracy analysis was performed. Direct Linear Transformation (DLT) method, MATLAB, Agisoft Lens, Photomodeler, 3D Flow Zephyr software were analysed. The lowest error value of 7.7 cm was achieved by modelling with Agisoft Lens.

Published: July 2020

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a vital tool used in numerous areas related to natural science and engineering studies. Managing complex data and obtaining accurate results from the analysis are essential functions of GIS. It is also efficiently used in highway designing both in project and application phases. This study proposes a new calculation method of slope angles to determine the suitable slope modal of a road by using topographic and geological datasets in a GIS environment. Using this method in the preparation phase of the project enables a more accurate calculation of earthwork volume. The proposed method was applied to a highway to prove this idea. The selected road is a significant tertiary of which project was completed by the Turkish General Directorate of Highways. In this study, the calculated values of the project were considered as references. Comparing both results obtained from the proposed method and application project, the accuracy of the slope modal of the proposed method is 71%, and the accuracy of its earthwork volume is 99%. The proposed approach will enable project managers and designers to determine more reliable earthwork volume during project feasibility studies without any application in the field.
THE ROLES OF POLITICAL POWER IN BUDGET PROCESS: HOW TO ACCOMODATE THEM? A CASE STUDY
Authors: Zarista Eden , Ichsan Muhammad
Published: July 2020

This research has two main objectives. The first objective is to identify the role of political power in the budgeting process, while the second is to propose a  control mechanism to enable a budgeting process to accommodate political power in terms of accountability. Indonesia’s Corruption Eradication Commission reports on the misuse of political power to manipulate budgeting in an organized manner. Execution of the budgeting process that does not follow the prevailing strategic policy constitutes fraud. The functions of budgeting are allocation, distribution, and stabilization. This study analyzes budgeting that intertwines with the wielding of political power. The study employed qualitative research supplemented by a case study to explain why and how such phenomena are occurring. The analysis was conducted using the thematic method by way of open-ended questionnaires to explain the data and information that were accumulated concerning the topic at hand and their relevance. Results show that political power plays both negative and positive roles. The positive aspect of the exercise of political power is that it is used as a public channel between society and the government, while its negative impact is the various risks that it poses, such as political power being used to advance self-interests. Political power does not share the same degree of impartiality as statutory rules. The form of politics can alter a budgeting activity or program. The application of a certain budgeting system is proposed to reduce errors and record activity history. Concerning the evaluation of APBD by the DPRD, APIP must help enforce control by reviewing budget changes against the relevant goals and objectives.

Authors: Prayogo Tony Setyo , Maqsudi Achmad
Published: July 2020

Working capital is an important element for any company because without sufficient working capital, operational activities of a company can not be held. Along with the rapid growing of business recently, as well as the intensive increasing competition, obtaining an adequate working capital has become a major factor to be considered. The amount of working capital required by each company is not the same and can not be determined by any standard. Lack of working capital will continually hamper business activities and thus companies productivity will not run well, otherwise the excess of working capital will lead to unproductive funds which will cause in a loosing gain or profits. This study used an object of PT.Timah (Persero) Tbk. for year of 2009-2012 observed data. It was using analyzing technique of raising and using of working capital. It showed that in the year 2009-2010 the use of the net working capital had excess of Rp 769 323, In the year 2010-2011 had excess of Rp. 323.320. Otherwise, in 2001-2012 the company's net working capital showed deficit of Rp.192.870. From the results of this analysis, it can be concluded that the net working capital of the company was not effectively managed in the year of 2009 to 2012. The decreasing in net working capital was due to the inceasing of non-current assets purchased by long-term debt and ownerâ€™s equity. Decreasing in net working capital will lead to a shortage in the company's operating expenditure. We recommend that the company must protect against the crisis of working capital and it must pay all obligations in a timely manner in order to increase the net working capital. The company should avoid experiencing a shortage of working capital since the availability of working capital is a vital instrumental to assist any companies in financing all daily operational activities. In addition the company's goals can be achieved and good progress can be maintained by keeping an adequate and proper level of working capital.Keywords: Working Capital, Financial Performance

IMPLEMENTASI TIME DRIVER ABC (TDABC) DALAM PERHITUNGAN HARGA POKOK PRODUKSI AMDK MERK “RIO”
Authors: Bayangkara IBK
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to examine the applicability of Time Driver Activity Bassed Costing (TDABC) in the calculation of the cost of production at manufacturing companies. A qualitative research design with a case study approach has been carried out on the production of RIO bottled drinking water (AMDK), a business unit of the BUMN Employees Cooperative in Gresik, for this test. Time drivers have provided solutions to the difficulty of implementing the ABC method in calculating the cost of production, due to the diversity of activity drivers. TDABC does not change the ABC method as a whole, but only simplifies the determination of activity drivers by time drivers. TDABC which is applied in the calculation of the cost of goods manufactured at a manufacturing company can produce a cost calculation of production costs that is more accurate than the calculation of the cost of production using the traditional method, because it has distributed overhead costs to each product based on the activity consumed by the product measured in units of time . More further research is needed on the application of TDABC in manufacturing companies, so that the difficulties of applying this method can be identified and solutions can be found. Keywords: TDABC, calculation, manufacturing, accurate.

Factors Affecting the Competitive Capacity of Commercial Banks: A Critical Analysis in an Emerging Economy

Published: July 2020

This research was conducted to investigate the factors influencing the commercial bank’s competitive capacity in an emerging country. Data were collected from the domestic-owned commercial banks and foreign-owned commercial banks listed on Vietnam’s Stock Exchange over the period of nine years from 2010 to 2018. Three statistic approaches were employed to address econometrics issues and to improve the accuracy of the regression coefficients: Pooled Ordinary Least Square (Pooled OLS), Random Effects Model (REM), and Fixed Effects Model (FEM). To correct the diagnostics and endogeneity in the model, the study uses Generalized Least Square (GLS) and Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). In order to account for the degree of competitive capacity we use Lerner index. Results demonstrate that the impact of bank-specific characteristics on market power in banks is statistically significant, and there are substantial distinguishments of economic consideration among these factors. In addition, a bank with a higher level of competitive capacity in the previous year will outstandingly generate competitive capacity in the current year. Another possibility, a greater level foreign investment into the banks in the host country could further encourage competitive capacity in the banking system. Finally, economic growth rate has no impact on competitive capacity at a significant level of 5% while a positive effect from inflation on bank’s market power could be found.
Misremembering Brexit: Partisan bias and individual predictors of false memories for fake news stories among Brexit voters
Authors: Greene Ciara , Nash Robert , Murphy Gillian
Published: July 2020

Exposure to fake news stories can result in false memories for the events portrayed, and this effect can be enhanced if the stories conform to the reader’s ideological position. We exposed 1299 UK residents to fabricated news stories about Brexit. 44% of participants reported a false memory for at least one fabricated story, with a higher rate of false memories for stories that reflected poorly on the opposing side. This effect of ideological congruency was somewhat greater among participants who were exposed to a threat to their social identity as a Leave or Remain supporter; however, this moderating effect was only statistically significant in exploratory analyses using a more conservative definition of false memory. Participants with higher cognitive ability and analytical reasoning scores were less susceptible to false memories. Individuals with better knowledge about Brexit showed better discrimination between true and false stories, while self-reported engagement with the Brexit debate was associated with an increased tendency to ‘remember’ any story, regardless of its truth. These results implicate a combination of social and individual factors in the development of false memories from fake news, and suggest that exposure to social identity threats may enhance the polarising effects of fake news.
Happiness Improves Health: Experimental Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial of an Online Positive Psychology Intervention
Authors: Kushlev Kostadin , Heintzelman Samantha
Published: July 2020

Happier people are healthier, but does becoming happier lead to better health? In the current work, we deploy a comprehensive, three-month positive psychological intervention (PPI) as an experimental tool to examine the effects of increasing happiness on physical health in a nonclinical population. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT), we found treatment participants had an incidence rate of sick days half as large as control participants, experiencing ever fewer sick days over the course of the program. These effects on physical health persisted three months after treatment and were mediated through the treatment effects on higher positive affect and life satisfaction, and lower negative affect. Beyond self-report, the positive intervention also had modest effects on lowering blood pressure and preventing weight gain. Combining experimental and longitudinal methodologies, this work provides critical evidence for a causal effect of happiness on physical health.
Speciation of Candida using CHROMagar from various clinical specimens and their antifungal susceptibility pattern at a tertiary care hospital.
Authors: Raj Kumari Sanjana , Adhikaree Neetu
Published: July 2020

Background: Candida albicans remains the most common and are responsible for various clinical infections ranging from mucocutaneous infection to life threatening invasive diseases. But recent epidemiological data shift from C.albicans to non albicans Candida species and also increased resistance to antifungal drugs made the scenario a serious concern.

Methods: A total of 156 Candida isolates from various clinical specimens received in the department of Microbiology were taken up for the study over a period of one year i.e. from March 2019 to February 2020. The Candida were grown on Sabouraud dextrose agar to be  evaluated for colony  appearance, macroscopic examination, Gram staining, germ tube, urea hydrolysis etc. The Candida isolates were speciated by using CHROMagar medium. Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed as recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) M44-A document.

Results: The isolation of non albicans Candida (54.5%) predominated over Candida albicans (45.5%). Non albicans Candida isolated were Candida tropcalis 40(25.6%), Candida krusei 21(13.4%), Candida glabrata 17(10.8%) and Candida dublinensis 07(4.4%) each. Candida species were all susceptible to Amphotericin B, followed by fluconazole (67.4%), miconazole (51.9%) and ketoconazole (22.5%).

Conclusions: The accurate species identification of Candida is important for the treatment because not all species respond to the same treatment and also because of the increasing antifungal resistance. CHROMagar is a convenient and rapid method of identification of Candida species specially in resource limited poor settings.

SAŽETAK: Zbog globalizacije tržišta procesna industrija postaje sve češća i važnija proizvodna grana. U odnosu na ostale proizvodne metode procesna industrija zahtijeva od svih sudionika nešto drugačiji pristup, uzimajući u obzir opseg proizvodnje, povećane rizike i velike posljedice u slučaju poremećaja procesa i nezgoda.
Procesna industrija postavlja vrlo visoke zahtjeve pred stručnjaka zaštite na radu. Osim stručnih znanja iz područja zaštite na radu, stručnjak zaštite na radu u procesnoj industriji mora uzeti u obzir i specifične zahtjeve procesne industrije. Njezini zahtjevi odnose se na samu organizaciju rada, zahtjeve koje takav način rada postavlja pred zaposlenike, zahtjeve svih standarda i priznatih pravila koje je organizacija prihvatila i primjenjuje ih te zakonske zahtjeve za određeni tip industrije.

Published: July 2020

SAŽETAK: Temeljno socijalno pravo radnika je pravo na radne uvjete koji neće štetiti sigurnosti, zdravlju i dostojanstvu radnika. U radu se analizira načelo zaštite radnika i zaštite prava na radu i u vezi s radom, uz prikaz pravne teorije i sudske prakse te se opisuju sudski postupci kod povrede prava radnika na zaštitu zdravlja i sigurne uvjete rada prema zakonima Republike Hrvatske i relevantnim propisima Europske unije. Posebice se analiziraju statistički podaci o predmetnim radnim sporovima te praksa Općinskoga suda u Splitu. Zaštita i ostvarenje ljudskih prava i sloboda složeno je i osjetljivo pitanje, a pravnu podlogu za učinkovitu zaštitu predstavlja međunarodnopravni, univerzalni i regionalni sustav zaštite ljudskih prava i sloboda. U radu se upozorava na potrebu analiziranja pravnih izvora Europske unije te prakse suda Europske unije pri donošenju sudskih odluka kako bi se postigao viši stupanj pravne sigurnosti i ujednačenosti odluka. Autorice zaključuju da se pravilnim i pravodobnim provođenjem propisanih mjera zaštite na radu sudionika radnoga procesa utječe na smanjenje povreda prava radnika te posljedično sudskih sporova zbog povrede prava radnika na zaštitu zdravlja i sigurne uvjete rada.
The “Lost” Scenes fromThe Merry Wives of Windsor: Robertson Davies’s Shakespearean Hoax
Authors: Teramura Misha
Published: July 2020

This article introduces a hitherto unpublished dramatic script by Robertson Davies: a set of scenes interpolated into the Stratford Festival’s 1956 production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Although these pseudo-Elizabethan additions were first performed as an elaborate prank on Stratford audience members and theatre critics, this article argues that Davies’s work represents a major unacknowledged contribution to the performance history of Merry Wives. Working in collaboration with director Michael Langham, Davies drew on the hypotheses of early twentieth-century textual editors to reconstruct a more narratively “complete” version of the play. In its integration of scholarship and playwriting, Davies’s script not only anticipated later scholarly reconstructions of plays such as Pericles and Cardenio, but it also remains a significant untapped resource for theatre directors today.
Nox,Unboxed: Anne Carson’s Uncommon Long Verse “Epitaph” (or Economies of the Unlost)
Authors: Wiesenthal Christine
Published: July 2020

Anne Carson’s Nox (2010) is a multi-form double elegy in memory of the poet’s brother, Michael, and of an elegiac precursor to Catullus’s “Elegy no. 101.” While Nox’s uniquely monumental form has invited analyses particularly by scholars of media studies and book history, this article focuses instead on Nox’s conceptualization at the intersection of elegy and epitaph. I argue that Nox’s peculiar contribution to contemporary elegy arises from its merging of the long poem elegy with the epitaph, resulting in a poetics of loss that is at once expansive and economical. As such, Nox embodies the paradox of an epitaph in long verse form, a form marked by a unique style of ironic economic rationalism. Further, I argue that Nox requires reading strategies that take into account both its materiality as a textual artefact and its simultaneous excess of that materiality, insofar as it can be read as a further unfolding from earlier phases of Carson’s work with elegy and epitaph, especially Economy of the Unlost (1999).
