Fashion trends a consumptive lifestyle in a student environment: Case study of student of the Faculty of Economics, Bengkulu University
Authors: Sari Lupita
Published: November 2022

This study analyzes consumptive behaviour following fashion trends as a lifestyle carried out students of the Faculty of Economics, Bengkulu University. Students tend to shop according to current fashion trends rather than buying as needed. The purpose of the study was to see consumptive behaviour following fashion trends carried out by students of the Faculty of Economics, University of Bengkulu. The theoretical basis of Jean Baudrillard is used to analyze a consumptive society that is no longer bound by morality and adopted habits. The method used is a qualitative method with case studies. In previous studies, the study of consumptive lifestyles was more focused on their consumptive lifestyle and behaviour. However, this study tries to explain the consumptive lifestyle through Baudrillard’s analysis of consumerism which is influenced by social relations and external factors. The results of this study are female students who behave consumptively based on the modern lifestyle. Students no longer buy goods based on the function of the goods themselves. However, it has become part of a habit that serves to demonstrate the ability to own trendy items. As for the factors behind students becoming consumptive of fashion trends, there are two, namely internal factors and external factors.
New trends in additive manufacturing of high-entropy alloys and alloy design by machine learning: from single-phase to multiphase systems

Published: November 2022

Alloys with excellent properties are always in significant demand for meeting the severe conditions of industrial applications. However, the design strategies of traditional alloys based on a single principal element have reached their limits in terms of property optimization. The concept of high-entropy alloys (HEAs) provides a new design strategy based on multicomponent elements, which may overcome the bottleneck problems that exist in traditional alloys. To further maximize the capability of HEAs, a novel additive manufacturing (AM) technique has been utilized to produce HEA components with the desired structures and properties. This review considers a new trend in the AM of HEAs, i.e., from the AM of single-phase HEAs to multiphase HEAs. Although most as-printed single-phase HEAs show superior tensile properties to as-cast ones, their strength is still not satisfactory, especially at elevated temperatures. Thus, multiphase HEAs are developed by introducing hard second phases, such as L12, BCC, carbides, oxides, nitrides, and so on. These phases can be introduced to the matrix using in situ alloying during AM or the subsequent heat treatment. Dislocation strengthening is considered as the main reason for improving the tensile properties of as-printed single-phase HEAs. In contrast, multiple strengthening and toughening mechanisms occur in as-printed multiphase HEAs, which can synergistically enhance their mechanical properties. Furthermore, machine learning provides an effective method to design new alloys with the desired properties and predict the optimal AM parameters for the designed alloys without tedious experiments. The synergistic combination of machine learning and AM will significantly speed up scientific advances and promote industrial applications.

Published: November 2022

With the development of society and the economy, the unified planning of architectural style has become a difficult problem in the competition between urban expansion and the protection of tra-ditional buildings in villages and towns. At the same time, it also allows people to re-examine the appearance and quality of life of traditional village buildings. In this paper, the Conditional Gen-erative Adversarial Network (CGAN) is used to construct a method of building facade generation in villages and towns, so as to gradually realize the governance of the style of villages and towns. At the same time, it has also reduced the restoration of the facades of villages and towns and the graphic design of rural tourism products, showing its application value and potential in the field of planning and design. In the research, taking villages and towns in the Wuyishan area of China as an example, the method is used to carry out model training, image generation, and comparison of the derivation results of different assumed building contours and product contours. The research shows that: (1) CGAN can be used to derive and design the facades of conventional civil buildings in villages and towns. (2) In terms of product graphic design, especially the common tourist cultural products fans and water cups, show significant potential. (3) The construction of this method is not only applicable to villages and towns under the World Heritage City, but can be further promoted and used in the future for cities and villages that have a demand for architectural style consistency.

Published: November 2022

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a multidrug-resistant opportunistic human pathogen related to various infections. As such, synthetic peptides have emerged as potential alternative molecules. Mo-CBP3-PepI has presented great activity against K. pneumoniae by presenting an MIC50 at a very low concentration (31.25 µg mL-1). Here, fluorescence microscopy and proteomic analysis revealed the alteration in cell membrane permeability, ROS overproduction, and protein profile of K. pneumoniae cells treated with Mo-CBP3-PepI. Mo-CBP3-PepI led to ROS overaccumulation and membrane pore formation in K. pneumoniae cells. Furthermore, the proteomic analysis highlighted changes in essential metabolic pathways. For example, after treatment of K. pneumoniae cells with Mo-CBP3-PepI, it was seen a reduction in the abundance of protein related to DNA and protein metabolism, cytoskeleton and cell wall organization, redox metabolism, regulation factors, ribosomal proteins, and resistance to antibiotics. These reductions lead to the inhibition of DNA repair, inhibition of cell wall turnover, protein turnover, and ROS accumulation leading to cell death. Our findings indicated that Mo-CBP3-PepI might have mechanisms of action against K. pneumoniae cells, mitigating the development of resistance and thus being a potent molecule to be employed in producing new drugs against K. pneumoniae infections.
Perceiving and Adapting to Climate Change: Perspectives of Tuscan Wine-Producing Agritourism Owners
Authors: Germanier Rachel , Moricciani Niccolò
Published: November 2022

It is now widely accepted the climate change is having a profound impact on the weather systems around the world. These, in turn, have a considerable effect on two important elements of the Tuscan economy: wine producing and tourism. This case study sought to explore the relationship between the perception of Tuscan wine-producing agritourism owners of the potentially abstract notion of climate change and their concrete experiences as entrepreneurs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight wine-producing agritourism owners or managers in Val d’Orcia, a small area of Siena, Tuscany and analyzed thematically. The impact of climate change on the area’s viticulture is undeniable but the responses to the challenges are more nuanced. Political leadership on the climate crisis appears absent and perhaps as a consequence, these small-scale operators lack knowledge and funds to enable them to plan ahead: they react often day-to-day to the immediate weather conditions rather than planning long term. While recognizing the difficulties they face from climate change as viticulturists, as agrotourism owners they welcome the longer seasons which enable them to open in the formally barren shoulder seasons but struggle with last-minute cancellations due to unpredictable weather in the area.
Ranking of objects based on fuzzy clustering
Authors: Badanina Natalya Dmitriyevna , Zinchenko Aleksandra Andreevna , Sudakov Vladimir Anatolievich
Published: November 2022

The paper creates a method for using fuzzy logic in the task of dividing objects into clusters and ranking them, where their coordinates are indicated as features. Classical machine learning approaches for making clustering models are investigated. Further, they are supplemented with the fuzzy numbers apparatus to obtain an estimate of the potential possibility of an object belonging to a cluster. Based on the selected approaches, algorithmic and software were developed for assigning an object to clusters with the derivation of the membership function, as well as the derivation of the rank calculated through defuzzification, taking into account the importance of each cluster. The resulting model can be used to solve the problems of selecting and ranking objects, taking into account the degree of confidence in their belonging to certain classes.

Published: November 2022

Jatropha curcas seed oil can be used for numerous purposes including fuel, soap and cosmetics. Better quality oil is obtained by cold pressing, the effectiveness of which is unfortunately limited by a low extraction rate. The objective of this study was to optimize cold hydraulic extraction parameters of Jatropha curcas seed oil by increasing the oil recovery and characterising the extracted oil. The key extraction parameters (dwell time, pressure, compression speed, and press cage charge) were determined using a laboratory hydraulic press. The results show that the unhulled and dehulled seeds contained 5.1 and 2.9% moisture, as well as 33.6 and 51.7% fat, respectively. Under the optimal operating conditions and at ambient temperature (25 °C), the oil recovery from whole (crushed) material was 38.2 (42.5)% unhulled seeds and 71.3 (69.5)% dehulled seeds. The physicochemical characteristics of cold-extracted Jatropha oil were 10ppm phosphorus, 1.9 ppm iron, 0.0 ppm copper, 0.15% water-volatile matter, 0.918 (15 °C) density, and 37.72 cSt (37.8 °C) kinematic viscosity, respectively. In conclusion, the optimized cold hydraulic extraction of jatropha seed oil leads to high oil recovery and good oil quality suitable for industrial applications.

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the TGT (Team Game Tournament) learning model, supported by snakes and ladders media, in improving the disciplined character of grade 2 students at SDN Watutulis 2. Conducted as a classroom action research (CAR) with multiple cycles, the research encompassed pre-cycle activities, cycle 1, and cycle 2. The subjects consisted of 26 grade 2 students (13 boys and 13 girls) from SDN Watutulis 2. Data collection techniques included observation, interview documentation, and self-assessment sheet tests. The pre-cycle results indicated that only 10 students completed the tasks, while 16 did not meet the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) of 75. To address this, cycle 1 was implemented, and following the application of the TGT learning model, 18 students completed the tasks, while 8 did not, resulting in an average score of 80.19 and a completeness percentage of 69.23%. Since 8 students remained incomplete, cycle 2 was initiated. During the second cycle, 23 students completed the tasks, while 23 did not, yielding an average score of 84.42 and a completeness percentage of 88.46%. The findings indicate that the TGT learning model effectively enhances students' discipline character. The implications of this research are discussed in terms of improving teaching practices and student character development. Highlights: Effective intervention: The TGT learning model, combined with snakes and ladders media, serves as an effective intervention to improve disciplined character among grade 2 students. Iterative approach: The research consisted of multiple cycles, allowing for ongoing reflection, adjustments, and improvements in implementing the TGT learning model. Positive outcomes: The application of the TGT learning model led to increased completion rates, higher average scores, and improved discipline character among the grade 2 students involved in the study.
