A Failed Link between Chilean Workers’ Subversive Past and Submissive Present in Diamela Eltit’sMano de obra
Authors: Lazo-González Denisse
Published: September 2021

Mano de obrais one of the most studied novels written by the Chilean author Diamela Eltit (b. 1949). Scholars have paid particular attention to the novel’s socioeconomic commentary at the level of the plot. They have not, however, conducted a close examination of how the novel expresses this criticism through its narrative form. Nor have they explored the relationship of the novel’s literary techniques to the politico-cultural context that it portrays. This article engages in a close reading of the literary techniques thatMano de obraemploys to depict a certain social context. It also addresses some politico-cultural implications of the novel’s narrative form in the context of Chile’s contemporary society to demonstrate that the novel foregrounds a sense of pessimism and hopelessness about linking Chilean workers’ subversive past with their submissive present.

Published: September 2021

Die Entwicklung komplexer Systeme mit hohem Innovationspotenzial unter Einhaltung von Kosten- und Risikozielen kann nur durch die systematische Nutzung vorhandener unternehmensinterner und -externer Referenzen gelingen. Für Produktentwickelnde als Entscheidungsträger ist es jedoch schwierig einzuschätzen, welche Auswirkungen die gewählten Referenzen und Variationen auf Entwicklungszielgrößen wie Kosten, Risiko und Innovationspotenzial haben. Das Modell der PGE-Produktgenerationsentwicklung bietet hier das Potenzial, schon früh im Entwicklungsprozess mit Wissen über die Auswirkungen von Referenzen und Variationsarten auf Entwicklungszielgrößen die Entscheidungsgrundlage zu verbessern. Um das Wissen über diese Zusammenhänge dem Entwickelnden zur Verfügung zu stellen, werden in diesem Beitrag zwei Visualisierungsansätze entwickelt. Für einen Konzeptworkshop mit berufserfahrenen Studierenden wird ein diagrammbasierter Ansatz entwickelt, angewandt und evaluiert. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen des Workshops wird eine Virtual-Reality (VR) Visualisierungsumgebung entwickelt und initial in einem Forschungsgespräch validiert. Die VR-Umgebung veranschaulicht dem Nutzer intuitiv und systemspezifisch die Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Referenzsystem und der aktuellen Produktgeneration und deren Auswirkungen auf Entwicklungszielgrößen.

ЧИСТИЙ ЗГИН СМУГИ (БАЛКИ) ІЗ ДВОМА СПІВВІСНИМИ ТРІЩИНАМИ, ПЕРПЕНДИКУЛЯРНИМИ ДО ЇЇ ОСІ, ОДНА З ЯКИХ ЗНАХОДИТЬСЯ В ЗОНІ СТИСКАЛЬНИХ НАПРУЖЕНЬ
Authors: Опанасович В. К. , Слободян М. С. , Білаш О. В.
Published: September 2021

У роботі досліджена задача про чистий згин зосередженою смуги (балки) з двома співвісними наскрізними тріщинами різної довжини, береги яких вільні від зовнішнього навантаження. Тріщини перпендикулярні до осі балки, причому одна з тріщин частково знаходиться в зоні стискальних напружень, так що її береги частково гладко контактують, тобто в області контакту берегів тріщини має місце рівність контактних напружень та відповідних компонент переміщень, а дотичні напруження рівні нулю. Друга тріщина перебуває в зоні розтягувальних напружень. Використовуючи методи теорії функцій комплексної змінної та комплексні потенціали двовимірної теорії пружності, розв’язок задачі зведено до задач лінійного спряження, отримано явний вигляд для комплексних потенціалів та коефіцієнтів інтенсивності напружень. Записано рівняння для знаходження параметра, за допомогою якого визначають довжину області контакту берегів тріщини. На основі енергетичного критерію руйнування знайдено критичне значення згинального моменту, при якому смуга (балка) зруйнується. Проведено числовий аналіз задачі, з якого випливає, що при наближенні неконтактуючої тріщини до контактуючої область контакту останньої зменшується, а при її віддаленні наближається до області контакту для одинокої контактуючої тріщини, одна вершина якої знаходиться в зоні стискальних напружень балки, а інша – в зоні розтягувальних напружень. Зауважимо, що руйнування балки може відбуватися як з вершини контактуючої тріщини, яка знаходиться в зоні розтягувальних напружень балки, так і з вершини неконтактуючої тріщини залежно від її положення і розмірів. При цьому повністю контактуюча тріщина не впливає на напружено- деформований стан балки.
РОЗВ’ЯЗОК КОНТАКТНОЇ ЗАДАЧІ ДЛЯ ПОПЕРЕДНЬО НАПРУЖЕНИХ ЦИЛІНДРИЧНОГО ШТАМПА ТА ШАРУ, ЩО ЛЕЖИТЬ БЕЗ ТЕРТЯ НА ОСНОВІ БЕЗ ПОЧАТКОВИХ НАПРУЖЕНЬ
Authors: Ярецька Н. О.
Published: September 2021

Стаття присвячена розв’язку контактної задачі для попередньо напруженого циліндричного штампа та шару з початковими напруженнями. Шар лежить без тертя на основі без початкових напружень. Задачу розв’язано у випадку нерівних коренів визначального рівняння. Дослідження представлено у загальному виді для теорії великих початкових деформацій і двох варіантів теорії малих початкових деформацій у межах лінеаризованої теорії пружності при довільній структурі пружного потенціалу. Припускається, що початкові стани пружного циліндричного штампа, пружного шару та основи однорідні та рівні. Дослідження проводиться в координатах початкового деформованого стану, які пов’язані з лагранжевими координатами (природного стану). Крім того, вплив циліндричного штампа викликає невеликі збурення відповідних величин основного напружено-деформованого стану. Також передбачається, що пружний циліндричний штамп та пружний шар виготовлені з різних ізотропних, трансверсально-ізотропних або композитних матеріалів. Наведені загальні розв’язки основних диференціальних рівнянь лінеаризованої теорії пружності у випадку осесиметричної деформації для скінченної циліндричної області. У результаті розв’язки поставленої задачі представлені у вигляді нескінченних рядів, коефіцієнти яких визначаються з нескінченної квазірегулярної системи алгебраїчних рівнянь. Вивчено вплив початкових (залишкових) напружень у шарі, циліндрі та основі на розподіл контактних напружень в області контакту. У випадку нерівних коренів для хімічно активної гуми СКУ-6 та потенціалу Трелоара (тіло неогуківського типу) наведено результати чисельного аналізу, що подані у вигляді графіків, які ілюструють достатньо значний вплив початкових напружень. Отже, вплив початкових напружень на напружено- деформований стан пружного циліндра, що втискається у пружний шар, який лежить без тертя на основі без початкових напружень, полягає в тому, що: початкові напруження в шарі призводять у випадку стиснення до зменшення напружень у пружному штампі, а у випадку розтягу – до їх збільшення, а для переміщень – навпаки.

Potential usefulness of preimplantation genetic diagnosis in the control and prevention of genetic diseases
Authors: El Hazmi M. A.
Published: September 2021

Prenatal diagnosis of molecular mutations can be of immense value, since diagnosis followed by genetic counselling provides the most appropriate approach to genetic diseases control and prevention. However, ethical, psychosocial and religious considerations hamper adoption of prenatal diagnosis in communities where termination of a pregnancy may not be acceptable. Recently, preimplantation genetic diagnosis has attracted considerable interest. This involves in vitro fertilization, followed by genetic disorder diagnosis using polar bodies or cells extracted from a blastomere stage. The normal blastomere is implanted in the womb and pregnancy proceeds naturally. If an abnormality is diagnosed, the blastomere is not implanted, thus preventing pregnancy with the affected fetus. This paper outlines the potential usefulness of preimplantation genetic diagnosis in the control and prevention of genetic disease in our part of the world

Authors: El Hazmi M. A. , Warsy A. S.
Published: September 2021

Our studies of the Saudi population have shown that in patients with mild presentation of sickle-cell disease [SCD] from Saudi Arabia’s eastern region, the prevalence of polymorphic sites is high. However, the prevalence is very low in patients with severe SCD from the south-west of the country. We expanded these studies to a group of Yemeni patients with severe SCD, resident in Riyadh. We investigated a total of 60 chromosomes carrying the sickle-cell [Hb S]gene and 14 chromosomes carrying the Hb A gene. Amongst the Hb AA group, the prevalence was 42.9% and 57.1% for the presence [+] and absence [-] of Xmn I polymorphic sites. In the Hb SS individuals, the prevalence of Xmn I polymorphic sites was similar to the prevalence reported in the south-western region of Saudi Arabia

Authors: Ghannem H. , Khlita K. , Harrabi I. , Ben Abdelaziz A. , Gaha R.
Published: September 2021

To assess the risk to Tunisian children of cardiovascular diseases [CVD], we undertook an epidemiological survey of 1569 urban schoolchildren from Sousse. Prevalence rates for the following CVD risk factors were determined: hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and other lipid disorders, obesity and tobacco consumption. Hypertension and hypertriglyceridaemia showed no statistically significant difference by sex. Hypercholesterolaemia, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and obesity were all significantly higher for girls than boys. Smoking was significantly higher among boys. The relatively low CVD risk factor profile of Tunisian schoolchildren should be encouraged in adulthood and a school heart health programme should be established.

Published: September 2021

The objectives of this study were to evaluate routine hepatitis B immunization in Palestine. Blood samples of 119 children [89 fully immunized and 30 non-immunized]were analysed. The protective antibody levels among immunized children were greater than the non-immunized children. Antibody levels among the immunized children were lower in the older age group [>36 months], but no sex differences in antibody level were apparent. Thus, hepatitis B immunization had an excellent impact on preventing hepatitis B transmission [85% preventive]. The non-responders constituted 14.6% of the sample, which is higher than other studies.

Authors: Abou Basha L. M.
Published: September 2021

An epidemiological study of fascioliasis and/or schistosomiasis was conducted in Abis 1 village. Stool specimens were collected from 2492 individuals and examined. Fascioliasis, alone or combined with schistosomiasis, was more prevalent among children aged between 5 years and 15 years than in adults. Serum procollagen III peptide [PIIIP]levels were determined as an indicator of active fibrosis, and liver histopathology and ultrasonography used as indicators of established fibrosis. PIIIP levels were significantly higher in children than in adults, and in mixed infections than in fascioliasis alone. In adults, fibrosis around granulomata detected by histopathology and grade 3 periportal fibrosis detected by sonography were encountered more frequently in dual than in single infections.

Published: September 2021

Early diagnosis of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women can be of great help in early intervention and prevention of congenital disorders that usually lead to fetal death. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate nested PCR amplification of the B1 gene of Toxoplasma gondii before and after treatment and in comparison to serological follow-up during treatment. The efficiency of treatment on the bases of PCR detection of T. gondii DNA was statistically significant, while it was insignificant when anti-toxoplasma specific IgM and IgG antibodies were used. PCR detection of T. gondii DNA when performed on whole blood is a rapid, sensitive and specific diagnostic procedure and is a valuable tool for establishing the diagnosis of T. gondii infection in women before or during pregnancy.

An Idea of the Education: the Structure and Content in the Context of the Philosophical Bases Changing
Authors: Leskova I. A.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Postnonclassical changes in modern education do not have a systemic character, therefore they do not entail qualitative changes in educational practice, that actualizes the need of searching for their system organizing principle. The article considers the idea of education in this capacity.

Materials and Methods. In the process of scientific research, the theoretical research methods have been used such as comparative analysis, generalization, interpretation, scientific theorization in the context of the ideas of post-non-classical science and on its methodological basis.

Results. The novelty of the proposed interpretation of the idea of education lies in the definition of its two structural components – fundamental and derivative (unchangeable and changeable) ones. It is shown that the content of the fundamental component is formed by logical and semantic constants as attributive properties of the basic method of human interaction with the world, which transmitting is being the deep meaning of education, providing self-identity of the idea of education in the flow of cultural and historical time. In the process of building a model and system of education, this method is acting as the initial object of modeling. Its attributive properties - logical-semantic constants - being the content of the fundamental component of the idea of education, like semantic genes, determine the structure, form and properties of each element of the education system. From this perspective, the article examines the two models of education: a traditional one in its original and current state and a new model of education, which is being developed on the post-non-classical foundations.

Discussion and Conclusions. The interpretation of the idea of education proposed in the article makes it possible to present a traditional model and a new model of education from the ancestor source – the fundamental component of the idea of education as their «genetically» initial part. This perspective of understanding allows us to consider the elements and phenomena of education holistically and in the perspective of their development, serves as a reliable basis for assessing their educational efficiency.
The readiness of the future teacher to form students' functional literacy
Authors: Tumasheva O. V.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Society and the state form an external request for the results of education, proceeding from their priority tasks and interests. Currently, the actual educational result is the functional literacy of students. The achievement of the demanded results of the educational process largely depends on the professionalism of the teacher who implements it. In this connection, the issue of training pedagogical personnel ready and able to form relevant educational results, in particular, the functional literacy of students, by means of individual subject areas, is of particular relevance. The first step to solving this issue is to study the pedagogical phenomenon, which is new for domestic science, "the readiness of future teachers to form students' functional literacy" and the development of its scientifically based model, which is the purpose of this article.

Materials and Methods. In the process of work, theoretical (analysis, generalization, systematization, pedagogical modeling) and empirical (open observation, interviewing) research methods were used.

Results. The main directions of pedagogical activity focused on the formation of functional literacy of students by means of individual subject areas are highlighted. This made it possible to clarify the content of the concept of "the readiness of future teachers to form the functional literacy of students." The structural-content model of the studied type of readiness is theoretically substantiated, in which motivational, emotional-volitional, cognitive, activity and reflexive-evaluative components are highlighted. The criteria (personal, cognitive, activity and regulatory) and the corresponding indicators for assessing the readiness of students of a pedagogical higher educational institution for the formation of students' functional literacy are formulated. The levels of formation of this readiness are described.

Discussion and Conclusions. The implementation of modern education strategies is impossible without training the relevant teaching staff. The development of a scientifically grounded model of the readiness of future teachers to form students' functional literacy is just the beginning of the path to modernizing teacher education. Allocation of the readiness structure and the criterion apparatus for its assessment allows us to determine further guidelines for the design and implementation of the conditions for its formation.
Choosing a web service for conducting streaming lectures for engineering students
Authors: Ponachugin A. V.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. The relevance of the topic is due to the massive transition of educational institutions to distance learning, caused by the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection in 2020. In this regard, educational institutions are faced with the need to choose web services for conducting training sessions in the format of webinars. The object of the research is web services used for conducting classes in a distance format. The subject of the research is the criteria for choosing a suitable web service for conducting streaming lectures. The theoretical significance of the work lies in determining the criteria for choosing a web service for streaming lectures, taking into account the specifics of the lesson. Scientific novelty – the rationale for choosing a web service for organizing continuous distance learning during a coronavirus pandemic.

Materials and Methods. When writing the article, the author used empirical methods (survey of pedagogical staff of the Nizhny Novgorod region; pedagogical experiment on the basis of Minin University); theoretical (analysis of domestic and foreign literature, study of pedagogical, methodological literature and other documents, generalization, comparison, forecasting).

Results. A survey of teachers in the field of teaching made it possible to determine the most popular web services that allow organizing lessons in a distance format. These services include: Webex, Zoom, Skype, MS Teams, Google meet. The main criteria to consider when choosing a web service for streaming lectures are the number of participants who can simultaneously participate in the webinar and the duration of the group video call.

Discussions and Conclusions. The advanced functionality of the web services is provided with a paid license. Free versions of services for organizing streaming lectures have a number of functional limitations. Therefore, the choice of a web service is an individual process and depends on the requirements of the teacher to the educational process.

Authors: Khanova T. G.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. The article presents the results of the author's research work on the study of the factors that determined the development and approval of the content of the course of university pedagogy in the 1930s on the basis of the integration of state ideology and pedagogical science. The article makes an attempt to highlight general (on a national scale) and specific (using the example of the Nizhny Novgorod Pedagogical Institute, which celebrates the 110th anniversary of its foundation this year) features of the development of the content of pedagogical science in this period.

Materials and Methods. The research was carried out on the basis of the analysis of normative documents, materials of pedagogical periodicals, generalizing works of scientists, archival documents of the Central Archives of the Nizhny Novgorod Region: articles, reports, resolutions, protocols, etc. Basic research methods: analysis of sources, comparative analysis of data.

Results. Based on the study and analysis of data, trends in the development of the content of pedagogy as a science under the influence of government decrees, through the prism of socio-political events taking place in the 1930s, are shown. The dynamics of the development of the content of pedagogical science and education in the period under review is analyzed, the influence of state ideology on the development of pedagogical science in a national and regional format is characterized on the material of pedagogical educational institutions of Nizhny Novgorod, mainly the Nizhny Novgorod Pedagogical University. The role of government decrees in the field of pedagogical education in the practice of regional pedagogical universities and departments of pedagogy is shown. It can be stated with complete confidence that the 1930s in Soviet pedagogy passed under the sign of the development of program documents on university pedagogy.

Discussion and Conclusions. The author considers the problems of the formation and development of pedagogy as a social and humanitarian science, shows the influence of politics and ideology on the development of pedagogical science and practice, substantiates the dependence of pedagogy on the order of society, the state, and the ruling party.
‘Exam preparedness’: Exploring non-academic predictors of postgraduate exam success
Authors: Balakrishnan Ashokka , Lee Tat Leang , Verstegen Daniëlle M.L.
Published: September 2021

Introduction: There are certain factors in exam preparedness that are not well studied in the postgraduate medical education context. Non-academic predictors have been extensively researched but usually in isolation.
Methods: The study involved a sequential explanatory mixed methods research design. The study was conducted among anaesthesia postgraduates appearing for high-stake nation-wide primary examination. Data obtained by a questionnaire assessing pre-examination attributes were compared with the students’ reflections through focus group discussions (FGD) after the formal declaration of results. The examination had an overall pass rate of 42.9% (18 out of 42).
Results: The study showed that pre-examination questionnaire could identify attributes and study behaviours in the postgraduates who passed. Passers procrastinated three times lesser, pursuing a timetable-based study (conscientiousness); had higher metacognitive self-regulation (p value<0.05) applying concentrated self-directed learning & effective group study and higher self-efficacy compared to those who failed. The focus group discussions affirmed of these attributes in candidates who ‘breeze through exams’. Postgraduate success required better ‘work-study’ balance, self & cross regulation and peer and faculty support.
Conclusion: Implementing a composite tool to assess ‘exam preparedness’, we propose, would help the learners and teachers to skim for non-academic factors (metacognitive self-regulation, self-efficacy, conscientiousness) that influence the chances of success. Understanding & predicting this would help educators to identify the ‘candidates with difficulty’ and delegate personalised faculty attention. This could guide the exam candidates to have a ‘reality check’ to plan and pace their effort with peer learning, consolidated study and goal orientation.

Authors: Brown Sarah , Bilszta Justin L C
Published: September 2021

Introduction: Use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is popular in the general population and medical practitioners may not be fully equipped in their knowledge of CAM to advise patients appropriately. The aim of this paper was to perform a scoping review of current literature describing undergraduate medical student use, attitudes, and knowledge of CAM as a means of better understanding the educational needs of these students. Methods: A systematic search of Medline, PubMed and the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC) databases with keywords related to “complementary and alternative medicine” and “undergraduate medical students” for relevant articles published until August 2020. Results: Of 131 papers identified, 38 underwent full review. It was found 13-80% of medical students use CAM, and overall have a positive attitude towards CAM therapies. Female medical students and those with religiosity had more positive attitudes towards CAM than their male colleagues and those without a religion. Knowledge of CAM is lacking with approximately only half of students feeling they were knowledgeable about CAM therapies. Popular information resources are the Internet and social media, but students expressed they want more teaching of CAM in the undergraduate medical curriculum. Conclusion: Evidence suggests high usage of CAM amongst undergraduate medical students, and positive attitudes towards CAM therapies; however, knowledge of CAM is poor, and students want more CAM teaching to upskill them in counselling patients interested in CAM therapies. Further areas for research include a better understanding of resources medical students use for their knowledge and how gender and religiosity influence attitudes towards CAM.

Tarihte toplumların, işletmelerin ve bireylerin yönetilmesinde sayıların, hesaplamaların, raporlamanın ve dolayısıyla muhasebenin önemi büyüktür. Osmanlı altı asır boyunca muhasebe sistemlerini devlet yönetiminde etkili bir şekilde kullanmıştır. Bu süreçte devlet yönetiminde merdiven yönteminden başarılı şekilde yararlanılırken, özellikle Avrupa’da 15. yüzyılda yazılı hale gelen çift taraflı kayıt yönteminden yararlanılmamıştır. Çift taraflı kayıt yönteminin Osmanlı’da 19. yüzyılın ortalarından itibaren kullanılmaya başlandığı dikkati çekmektedir.Çalışmanın amacı, çift taraflı kayıt yönteminin Osmanlı Devleti’nde yaklaşık dört asırlık bir gecikmeyle kullanılmaya başlanmasının sosyo-kültürel nedenlerini incelemektir. Bu inceleme yapılırken Osmanlı döneminde gerçekleşen sosyal ve kültürel gelişmeleri kapsayan literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular tarihsel açıdan değerlendirilerek, bu gecikmeyi etkileyen sosyo-kültürel nedenler ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak merdiven yönteminin başarılı kullanımı, özel mülkiyetin gelişmemesi, öğreti kitaplarının olmaması gibi nedenlerin analizi yapılmıştır.

Followness of Altcoins in the Dominance of Bitcoin: A Phase Analysis
Authors: Kulal Abhinandan
Published: September 2021

Due to the transparency, simplicity, and blockchain system, cryptocurrencies gained popularity in the modern world. This led to more use of cryptocurrencies for speculation and investment rather than a medium of exchange. It is crucial to analyse the nature of the crypto market before investing in such currencies. With this intention, the paper tried to know the extent of following (Followness) of altcoins to the bitcoin in the different dominance phases like High Dominance, Low Dominance, and Moderate Dominance. For this purpose, daily closing prices of the Bitcoin and five major altcoins (Ethereum, Litecoin, Namecoin, Doge, and Ripple) are collected for the last five years and analyse the relationship between bitcoin and altcoins. Pearson's correlation coefficient test is used to know the direction of the relationship, and Vector Error Correction Model is used to see the extent of the relation. In general, the empirical result of the study showed cointegration between bitcoin and Altcoin. It also depicted that Altcoin showed a high level of followness in the moderate dominance phase and low followness in the low dominance phase. The study developed a price estimation equation to predict the price of altcoins depending upon the price of bitcoin and its dominance in the crypto market. This paper concludes that the dominance of Bitcoin also has a significant role in the price movement of altcoins.

Background: Sepsis is a significant health problem worldwide. Various sepsis biomarkers have been studied before, but few data link PCT and urinary nitrite levels to culture result in septic patients.Purposes: This study compares PCT, Urine Nitrite on culture results against their sensitivity to determine variables that can be used to predict sepsis patients.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study by taking data on patients with sepsis aged ≥18 years in 207. Diagnostic tests were performed to determine sensitivity and specificity of PCT, Urine Nitrite, and Blood Culture of septic patients. A Chi-square test was carried out to see the relationship between two parameters and the outcome of sepsis.Results: PCT sensitivity was higher than Urine Nitrite: 74.5%. Specificity of Urine Nitrite was higher than PCT: 88.2%. Procalcitonin has a significant relationship with sepsis patient outcomes (p<0.005).Conclusion: PCT can predict septic patients because it has a higher sensitivity than urine nitrite

The recovery of Au(III) in the Au/Cu/Mg system from mercapto-silica hybrid coated magnetite (SH/Fe3O4@SiO2) adsorbent has been investigated. This adsorbent characterized using FT-IR to determine functional groups, crystallinity study using XRD, surface morphology using SEM, material compositions with XPS, surface area using nitrogen adsorption, and TGA to study thermal stability. Adsorption of metal ions carried out with batch system for 30 minutes at a pH of 3. In the Au/Cu/Mg multi-metal system, Au(III) ions were easily desorbed (approximately 85%) by SH/Fe3O4@SiO2 adsorbent based on HSAB (Hard Soft Acid Base) theory that Au(III) ion is a softer metal than Cu(II) and Mg(II) where Au(III)>Cu(II)>Mg(II). The recovery of Au(III) ions was easily desorbed using thiourea 7% in 0,1 M HCl solution with the percentage of 79%. The process of SH/Fe3O4@SiO2 adsorbent separation after adsorption and recovery was very easy. The adsorbent could perfectly separate in 5 minutes using an external magnet. The SH/Fe3O4@SiO2 adsorbent can be reused on the adsorption-desorption process of Au(III) in the Au/Cu/Mg system approximately four times of cycle reactions.

Authors: Badi'ah Hanim Istatik
Published: September 2021

Silver nanoparticles have been developed in many applications because of their optical and reactivity properties. One of the disadvantages of silver nanoparticles is their low level of stability because their surface is easy to aggregate. It is necessary to have other materials such as chitosan as a capping agent on the surface of silver nanoparticles to prevent aggregation. This study aimed to determine the ability of chitosan as a capping agent for silver nanoparticles. The ability of chitosan was evaluated based on the stability test and characterization using a UV-Vis, PSA, and FTIR spectrophotometer. The silver nanoparticles formed producing a yellow color with a wavelength of 401 nm and a size of 13.48 nm. The volume of chitosan that gave optimal results in stabilizing silver nanoparticles was 2.0 mL.

This research was conducted to determine the molecular structure modeling and the quantitative relationship of the activity structure (QSAR) of substituted myristicin derivatives with electron donor groups such as -C6H5 (M1), -NH2 (M2), -Cl (M3), -F (M4), and -H (M5). The results of geometry optimization with the DFT (Density Fractal Theory) method or density functional calculations calculated with the density level of B3LYP/6-31G each obtained the total energy of each compound M1- M5: M1: 175.49 kcal/mol M2: 132.707 kcal/mol, M3: 115.701 kcal/mol, M4: 116.048 kcal/mol, M5: 121.377 kcal/mol. Determining the relationship between descriptors and the antioxidant activity (IC50) for basic structure myristicin compounds and five derivatives was carried out using SPSS 21. The results of the correlation analysis showed that there was a relationship between the descriptors and antioxidant activity. Determining the best QSAR equation model is done by analyzing multiple linear and multilinear regression using IBM SPSS 21. The results of multiple linear regression analysis or multilinear regression obtained for the best QSAR equation model are: Log P = -2.600 + (0.006) IW- (1.558) qC8 - (6.532) EHOMO + (0.014) PSA + (0.133) MD with n = 6, R = 1.000, R2 = 0.926, SE = 0.

Published: September 2021

To analyze the factor affecting poverty during several periods by considering some geographical factors, we can use a geographically weighted panel regression (GWPR) method. GWPR is a combination of the geographically weighted regression (GWR) model and the panel regression model. The research conducts to identify the factors affecting the percentage of poor people in 34 provinces in Indonesia during 2015-2019. The results show that a suitable GWPR model is a fixed-effect model (FEM) with an exponential adaptive kernel function. Referring to the model, the province is divided into four groups based on variables having a significant effect on the percentage of poor people. That factors causing the poor people percentage in Indonesia are the poor people percentage aged above 15 years old and unemployment, the people percentage aged above 15 years old and employed in the agricultural sector, the literacy rate of the poor aged between 15 to 55 years old, and the life expectancy rate.

Keywords: fixed effect model, exponential adaptive kernel.
