Agent Protection in an Agency Agreement
Authors: Manurung Samuel Karunia , Yunanto Yunanto
Published: September 2023

Marketing products through agency business agreements is a common practice when manufacturers seek to expand their reach within specific territories. In Indonesia, this arrangement is often driven by import and export restrictions imposed on international entities. Due to these restrictions, foreign entities, referred to as principals, must engage agents or representatives to facilitate the sale of their products within Indonesia. This agency relationship is predominantly built upon a contractual agreement. In this agreement, the agent commits to representing the principal's interests, including legal representation if necessary. Conversely, the principal consents to the agent's representation on their behalf, particularly in legal matters. To gather insights into this dynamic, a Conceptual Approach method is employed to collect data. It emphasizes the significance of legal certainty within the framework of formal agreements. In Indonesia, contract law protection is founded upon this concept, ensuring that agreements are upheld. In the event of disputes arising from agency agreements, resolution processes typically defer to the terms stipulated in the initial agreement, emphasizing the importance of a well-defined and legally sound contract.
“Will Active Learning Experience Make You Better?” The Effect of Active Learning on Generation Z’s Self-Efficacy, Self-Esteem, and Food Choice Wiseness at School
Authors: Habibie Marini Putri Ayu , Soesilo Primidya Kartika Miranda
Published: September 2023

Reaching the age of adolescence, children need sufficient nutrients to grow rightly. Nevertheless, dietary habit in children has been extensively found to be ill-considered as many of them have not been able to distinguish nutritional ingredients in food. Mastering nutrition and growing a habit of healthy eating is imperative regarding their better future. This research aimed to examine whether a particular learning method (active vs. passive) would lead to wiser food choices, better self-efficacy, and higher self-esteem. The study case took the secondary students in LabSchool, Jakarta in 2018. Experimental research with a factorial design is employed in the research design. The experiment involved 227 samples of Generation Z. One group was assigned to a hands-on cooking class model (active learning) while the other half as the control group was assigned to a cooking demonstration (passive learning) class model. The result of this research implied that students who are exposed to hands-on cooking classes (active learning) show a healthier shift in their wiseness towards preferring healthy food. The limitation of the study was time and resources. It is suggested in that the future the researcher may extend the experiment’s duration and give more variations of samples to comprehend larger knowledge.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development demands the conception of a university committed to the cultural transformation of the societies to which it serves. Substantive processes contribute to change management through initiatives that are localized inall fields of knowledge. However, the culture of scientific communication among university stakeholders remains insufficient in several Latin American countries. This study aimed to design and implement a postgraduate course aimed at building competenciesfor scientific publishing among faculty and researchers at the Instituto Especializado de Profesionales de la Salud [Specialized Institute of Health Professionals] and to disseminate its results, with the goal of promoting its systematization in similar contexts as an effective training alternative. The research was of a descriptive cross-sectional nature and was conducted at the Instituto Especializado de Profesionales de la Salud in El Salvador in 2022, as part of the enhancement of their substantive processes in favor of quality and inclusive higher education. Within the significant results, 45 scientific articles were achieved, of which 30 were accepted in scientific journals indexed in reputable regional databases. It is concluded that the postgraduatecourse is feasible and can be systematized in specific contexts as an alternative for building communicative competencies for publishing purposes among university stakeholders.
Temporal distribution pattern of butterflies in an unfenced location at Serampore, Hooghly, West Bengal, India
Authors: MALLICK Md. Abu Imran , GHORAI Narayan
Published: September 2023

The same niche cannot support two species. To avoid negative interactions, species adapt their presence and utilize different types of resources according to different time periods. Many factors, including temperature, influence insect communities. Butterfly species utilize similar habitat types or even microhabitats with other co-species and share the same daytime if the resources are plentiful. However, they follow a certain ecological pattern of temporal distribution by using different intervals of the same time frame. With the use of the Modified Pollard Walk Method, the present study explores butterfly presence, species exclusivity, and commonality in an area situated in Jolkol, Serampore, West Bengal. The presence of reliable sources of nectar, a plentiful supply of food plants conducive to egg-laying, ample sunlight in open spaces, minimal pesticide usage, and limited human interference within the examined region have all contributed to a diverse array of butterfly species in the area. Butterfly species are susceptible to changes in landscape and vegetation, and the loss of habitats caused by urbanization and environmental degradation threatens butterfly diversity. Many butterfly species function as ecological indicators and provide numerous ecosystem services. As a result, conservation and preservation of butterfly diversity are important, particularly in urban habitats.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – based strategies for point cloud data and digital twins
Authors: AFTAB Ifra , DOWAJY Mohammad , KAPITANY Kristof , LOVAS Tamas
Published: September 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), is causing a paradigm shift in coding practices and software solutions across diverse fields. This study focuses on harnessing the potential of ML/DL strategies in the geospatial domain, where geodata possesses characteristics that align with the concept of a “lingual manuscript” in aesthetic theory. By employing ML/DL techniques, such as feature evaluation and extraction from 3D point clouds, we can derive concepts that are specific to software, geographical areas, and tasks. ML/DL-based interpretation of 3D point clouds extends geospatial modelling beyond implicit representations, enabling the resolution of complex heuristic-based reconstructions and abstract concepts. These advancements in artificial intelligence have the potential to optimize and expedite geodata computation and geographic information systems. However, ML/DL encounters notable challenges in this domain, including the need for abundant training data, advanced statistical methods, and the development of effective feature representations. Overcoming these challenges is essential to enhance the performance and efficacy of ML/DL systems. Additionally, ML/DL-based solutions can simplify software engineering processes by replacing certain aspects of current adoption and implementation practices, resulting in reduced complexities in development and management. Through the adoption of ML/DL, many of the existing explicitly coded GIS implementations may gradually be replaced in the long term. Overall, this research illustrates the transformative capabilities of ML/DL in geospatial applications and underscores the significance of addressing associated challenges to drive further advancements in the field.
Discriminant Analysis of Gentiana Headspace Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry Extract Data from In Vitro Cultures
Authors: Gadowski Sebastian , Tomiczak Karolina , Pietraś Rafał , Komsta Łukasz
Published: September 2023

A set of Gentiana L. species was successfully grown in vitro under the same conditions, and 72 samples from various cultures of these species (root, shoot, cotyledon callus, hypocotyl callus, and root callus) were obtained. The investigated species were G. affinis, G. andrewsii, G. bhutanica, G. burseri, G. cachemirica, G. capitata, G. crassicaulis, G. dahurica, G. decumbens, G. freyniana, G. frigida, G. gelida, G. grossheimii, G. kurroo, G. macrophylla, G. paradoxa, G. robusta, G. scabra, G. septemfida, G. siphonantha, and G. tianschanica. The obtained samples were extracted with a methanol-acetone-water (3:1:1) mixture, evaporated to dryness, and subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel in sandwich mode with ethyl acetate-methanol-water (8:2:2) as the mobile phase. The resulting dry extracts were subjected to gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC-MS) fingerprinting of the headspace volatile fraction. Total ion count and average mass spectrum vectors were collected as two blocks and scaled independently to form a complex dataset. The major direction separating root or shoot samples from callus samples was found not to be fully associated with the highest variance as this information was placed in the first and fourth principal components of the principal component analysis (PCA). Therefore, linear discriminant analysis was performed on the first four (only the informative) components to reveal features responsible for the separation of culture types in the multivariate space.
Application of in vitro culture and biotechnology for the protection of endangered national plant species in Poland
Authors: Pawłowska Bożena , Ptak Agata
Published: September 2023

In Poland, research applying in vitro techniques to protect endangered national plant species began 30 years ago. Scientists from approximately 10 research centers comprising universities, research institutes, and botanical gardens, have conducted the most significant studies to date. In this paper, we review the knowledge and experience accumulated over the last few decades regarding the micropropagation of more than 40 wild Polish plant species. This research covered all groups of plants: ferns, monocotyledons, dicotyledons, and woody species. Most studies have focused on dicotyledon classes and species belonging to eight botanical families. Among them the first research was on the use of in vitro cultures for the protection of endangered plants of the Droseraceae family. Several micropropagation protocols have been established, in which organogenesis is a more frequently used morphogenetic pathway for plant propagation than somatic embryogenesis. The major aspects investigated included the selection of an appropriate initial explant and optimization of the medium composition. An embryogenic cell suspension culture was established, and a technology for obtaining artificial seeds was developed. Some studies have extended the acclimatization of plants to ex vitro conditions. Recent studies, apart from in vitro techniques, have also used molecular biology and genetic techniques, which may support the implementation of plant regeneration systems developed in Poland to protect endangered species.

Side by Side or Side-lined?
Authors: Wagner Åse Kari Hansen , Skaftun Atle
Published: September 2023

The idea of a change in educational practise is a central aspect in Norwegian curricular reforms in this millennium. Several governmental initiatives were introduced as a means to bring about such changes. Teacher-student ratio is among these initiatives. Large scale research projects were initiated by educational authorities (2016-2023) in order to explore the effects of increased teacher-student ratio, and a national norm for student-teacher-ratio was implemented in 2018. Still, research evidence remains inconclusive as to the effects of this initiative. In order to better understand this inconclusiveness, our article explores six Year 2 Norwegian literacy classrooms with two teachers in the class. We find that the teachers seem to fall into accustomed forms of collaboration and roles, with homeroom teachers who “own” the class, and co-teachers who take on the waiting and watching role before taking out specific students. We also find a somewhat counter intuitive use of organisational forms together with a tendency towards “shift work”. Co-teaching clearly represents pedagogic opportunities as well as challenges concerning ways to share professional responsibility and roles, and we discuss why the potential is not fully released.

Published: September 2023

This study explores how renewable energy policies in Africa can help alleviate poverty and combat climate change. The research highlights the significant percentage of Africa's population living in poverty without access to electricity, leading to a cycle of poverty and limited education. By examining relevant literature from various sources, the study aims to deepen our understanding of how renewable energy policies can contribute to poverty reduction and climate change mitigation in Africa. The research emphasizes the untapped potential of renewable energy resources in Africa, including hydropower, geothermal, biomass, solar, and wind, which can significantly increase the region's renewable energy capacity. Renewable energy policies are seen as a powerful tool to alleviate poverty by providing affordable, clean, and reliable energy sources in developing countries. Additionally, these policies play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the transition to sustainable energy systems. Africa faces significant risks from climate change, such as rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and extreme weather events, making the adoption of renewable energy even more important. The study recommends increasing investment in renewable energy infrastructure, developing effective policies, strengthening partnerships, promoting energy efficiency, integrating renewable energy into national development plans, enhancing climate change resilience, and raising awareness among communities. Embracing renewable energy has the potential to bring about positive change in Africa, improving lives, economies, and ecosystems, while addressing climate change

Authors: Enyindah Confidence , Elechi-Amadi Kemzi N. , Ben-Chioma Adline E.
Published: September 2023

Plantain root extract (Musa paradisiaca) used as herbal treatment of various disease condition was used to treat testosterone-propionate induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in male Albino rats. Thirty six (36) male Albino rats weighing between 180 - 240g were used for this study. Benign prostatic hyperplasia was induced by daily injection of 4mg/kg of testosterone propionate for 12 days. Each rat in the appropriate groups was given 4mg/kg of TP dissolved in 1ml of vehicle oil. The rats were grouped into 6 groups of 6 rats each as follows: Group 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 known as negative control, positive control, plantain root extract, Avodart treated, combination therapy and prophylactic groups respectively. The treatment was done using 1000mg/kg of plantain root extract for 28 days. The rats were sacrificed on the 29th day after an overnight fast and blood samples were collected into lithium heparin bottles. The conventional drugs used for the management of BPH have been reported to have some undesirable side effects, this study evaluated the therapeutic potential of plantain root extract in albino rats. The plantain root extract was prepared by maceration infusion method using ethanol. Prostate specific antigen (PSA), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), oxidative stress markers Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. Prostate weights of the rats were measured. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis of the plantain root extract was determined. After BPH induction, the PSA level of the rats in the treatment groups 3 and 5, showed significant decrease (p<0.05) compared to the positive control, the rats treated with Avodart showed more decrease compared to the negative control group. There was no significant difference in the SOD levels of the rats in the three treatment groups (3-5). The prostate weight of the rats in the extract/avodart groups was significantly decreased to levels comparable to negative control group. From the results of this study plantain root extract has the potential to ameliorate BPH. The combination with avodart, showed therapeutic effects indicating that there was no negative interaction. The extract exhibited antioxidant properties.

Published: September 2023

The incidence of cancer-related deaths worldwide has increased by 66% since 1960, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). A breast cancer diagnosis is predicted to occur in one in eight women in the US alone at some point in their lifetime. A BC diagnosis is typically made using high-end molecular bioimaging, ultrasound, and mammography. Unfortunately, these methods only discover BC after the fact. So there is still a need for both early and sophisticated molecular diagnostic techniques. Numerous histological and immuno-molecular studies conducted during the past ten years have shown that BC is exceedingly diverse in nature. Its cytological characteristics, growth pattern, and expression of important biomarkers in BC cells, such as hormone receptor markers, can be used to create cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment tools. Compositions, intracellular and extracellular environments, depth, shape, and structure of the cells. Currently, BC is treated with surgery, systemic chemotherapy, and focused radiation therapy. In order to determine the heterogeneity and recurrence score, which fully identifies the BC subtype at issue, a biopsied sample is next subjected to a number of multigene assays. We currently have seven prognostic multigene signature tests for BC that offer a risk profile that can spare low-risk patients from unnecessary treatments. Clinicopathological data should be integrated with genomic-imprint analysis, according to numerous comparative studies on multigene analysis. There is a good chance that current cohort studies like MINDACT, TAILORx, Trans-aTTOM, and many others will have a favourable effect on patient outcomes over the long term. This review presents a compendium of data on BC diagnoses and available therapies. The development of sophisticated biomarkers is also described.

Hammâd er-Râviye: Râviliği ve Edebî Tenkitçiliği
Authors: ERSÖNMEZ Hüseyin
Published: September 2023

Eski Arap şiiri ilk zamanlar sözlü olarak muhafaza edilirken Emevî dö-nemi sonları, Abbâsî dönemi başlarında bu şiirlerin tedvinine geçilmiş, özel-likle de Basra ve Kûfe şehirleri şiir rivayetine daha çok önem verilen ilim merkezleri haline gelmiştir. Kûfe’de şiir rivayetinin öncülüğünü Hammâd er-Râviye (öl. 160/776-77 [?]) yaparken Basra’da Halefu’l-Ahmer (öl. 180/796 [?]) daha çok ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu bağlamda ele alınan bu çalışmada eski Arap şiirinin intikalinde önemli rol oynayan râvilerden birisi olan Hammâd er-Râviye’nin râviliği, rivayetlerinin sıhhati, kendi dönemindeki konumu ve edebî tenkitçiliği ele alınmıştır. Bu anlamda ilk olarak Hammâd’ın hayatı ve ilmî kişiliği hakkında bazı genel bilgiler verilmiştir. Daha sonra Hammâd’ın eski Arap şiirinin intikalindeki rolüne temas edilmiş, kendisiyle ilgili yapılan olumlu ve olumsuz eleştiriler aktarılmıştır. Bu konuda öne çıkan bazı rivayetler ele alınarak değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Buna göre Hammâd’a yapılan ithamların başlıca sebeplerinden birisinin Basra-Kûfe çekişmesinden kaynaklı olabileceği gibi Hammâd’ın Emevîlere karşı meylinin de bu ithamlara maruz kalmasının nedenlerinden birisi olduğu söylenebilir. Buna ek olarak aktarılan rivayetlerdeki bazı tutarsızlıklara dikkat çekilmeye çalışılmıştır. Son olarak ise Hammâd’ın muallakaya dair tespitleri üzerinden edebî tenkitçiliği incelenmiştir.
An Updated Geomechanical Model for an Innovation Test Well Drilled at a Drilling Test Facility in Grimes County, Texas

A previously developed geomechanical model for a drilling test site was updated for a new, innovation test well drilled on the same site. New offset loss circulation data were evaluated and updated for the minimum horizontal stress profile. Critical mud weight window considering different well orientations and the temperature effect are presented. It was demonstrated that critical bottom-hole pressure data were missed during real-time pulsing but recorded in the PWD (pressure while drilling) tool memory. Multiple loss circulation data during drilling and cementing, real-time and memory ECD (equivalent circulating density) data, updated formation tops and formation geothermal gradient measured from a permanent fiber-optic cable are incorporated into the updated model. 36+ additional vertical/directional/horizontal wells up to ∼11,500 ft (3505.2 m) TVD (true vertical depth) were drilled from four different surface hole locations since publishing the last model. It is demonstrated in this paper that geomechanical study is critical to maintaining wellbore integrity during different stages of the well operations even for non-hydrocarbon-bearing drilling design and executions.

INTRODUCTION OF THE TEST RIGS AND THE TEST FACILITY

At the time the paper was written, a total of 66+ wells have been drilled from four different surface hole locations on the premise of the drilling test facility since October 2014. The testing facility is located in Navasota in Grimes County, Texas. The testing facility is permanently equipped with an automated Ideal Prime 1 drilling rig (1500 hp) and a 5C mobile completion rig (200 kips or 100 US tons static hook load capacity).

The Prime 1 rig consists of an automated Iron Roughneck (ST-100) and 3 permanently installed Robots for pipe handling automation. The first floor Robot (RTX-L1, RTX = Robotic Transfer of Material) handles pipe tailing between the well center and the setback area as well as picking up a single joint from the Pipecat. The second floor Robot (RTX-L2) handles ancillary work which includes two different handling tools. The first tool is to operate the mud bucket to contain drilling fluid coming to the rig floor during pulling out of the hole after the pipe connection is broken down. The second combination tool includes two alternate tools, i.e., a doper tool to apply the thread compound to the pipe connection threads and a stabbing guide to align two joints (or stands) of drill pipe before making up the threads. A single rig crew member can operate the above automated equipment from the driller's cabin using multiple HMIs (human-machine interface).
Experimental Study of Anisotropic Strength Properties of Shale

Led by new developments of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing techniques, organic rich shales have been contributing significantly to a gas production in the US. In drilling processes, shales have been known to be the source of wellbore instability problems. In the past practice, shales were treated as isotropic for mud window calculation and trajectory design. However, organic rich shales are anisotropic due to their laminated structure and chemical properties. Thus, it is of vital importance to investigate the anisotropic strength of shale both theoretically and experimentally.

The goal of this study is to evaluate anisotropic mechanical properties of shale by tri-axial tests and predict shale anisotropic properties by well logging data interpretation. Shale mechanical properties (Young's Modulus, Shear Modulus, and Poisson's Ratio) of different bedding plane orientations (0/ 45 / 90 degrees) were studied. Both compressive strength and tensile strength were investigated for different orientations. Simple Plane of Weakness and Modified Cam Clay failure criteria were applied to describe shear failure mechanism.

Well logging data were used to connect experimental data and real field data. Compressional wave velocity was predicted with different inclination angle by stiffness parameters. The predicted compressional wave velocity for a 45-degree inclination angle showed a perfect fit with the field logging data. Mud window for a special shale formation was predicted by experimental data.

This study provides an understanding for shale anisotropic strength of different bedding orientations, as well as an instruction of safety mud window calculation for directional drilling through shale formations.

INTRODUCTION

Traditionally, shales have been known to be the source of wellbore instability problems during drilling. The borehole may experience hole-enlargement, hole-reduction, lost circulation, poor hole cleaning, and well-control problems. The cause of shale instability is two-fold: physical (stress change vs. shale strength environment) and chemical (shale/fluid interaction— capillary pressure, osmotic pressure, borehole-fluid invasion into shale). Both physical and chemical process will induce changes in shale geo-mechanical properties, such as compressional strength. Solving wellbore instability problems relies on accurate evaluation of geo-mechanical properties of a shale formation.
