Authors: Indrasari Witri , Kurniati Iis , Dermawan Asep , Sufa Hafizah Ilmi
Published: December 2024

Background Culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) using egg-based solid media like Lowenstein Jensen (LJ) is the gold standard for tuberculosis diagnosis but requires extended incubation time. Rapid diagnostic tests, such as Ziehl-Neelsen (ZN) staining and the MPT64 antigen rapid test, are essential for early detection.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ZN staining and the MPT64 rapid test in detecting MTB and Mycobacterium other than tuberculosis (MOTT) during different culture times.
Methods Using a cross-sectional design, 110 culture-positive samples were analyzed from Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung over two months. Specimens were cultured on LJ media for eight weeks, with weekly observation of colony growth. ZN staining and MPT64 tests were performed on growing colonies.
Results Less than four weeks culture, 61 samples (55.5%) were culture-negative, 45 (40.9%) were positive for MOTT, and the remainder were contaminated. In more than four weeks culture, 48 samples (43.6%) were positive for MTB, 45 samples (40.9%) were positive for MOTT, and 13 (11.8%) were culture-negative, and the remaining were contaminated. ZN-positive and MPT64-negative results indicated MOTT in less than four weeks culture, while ZN-positive and MPT64-positive results indicated MTB in more than four weeks culture.
Conclusion While ZN staining was positive for both MTB and MOTT colonies, the MPT64 rapid antigen test was specific for MTB, supporting its use in confirming MTB detection alongside culture methods.

Published: December 2024

Water is essential for meeting the basic needs of living organisms. In Indonesia, ensuring safe and quality drinking water is crucial for public health. However, in some regions, particularly in West Java Province, people still rely on unsuitable water sources, which can negatively impact health. The classification of water source suitability can be achieved using machine learning, such as the Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) model. XGBoost with feature selection is effective in improving prediction accuracy and minimizing overfitting. This study evaluates the performance of the XGBoost model in classifying household drinking water sources in West Java and uses the K-Means algorithm for cluster SHAP values to identify key characteristics of households with safe drinking water. The results show that the XGBoost model, with an accuracy of 77.43% and an F1-Score of 80.17%, successfully classified 4187 households, with 2349 having safe drinking water and 1838 having unsuitable sources. SHAP value analysis identified location, water collection time, and monthly per capita expenditure as significant factors influencing water source suitability. Households with water sources inside the house's fence, a short water collection time, and high monthly per capita expenditure tend to have safe drinking water sources. There are 4 clusters formed, with cluster 1 and cluster 3 needing immediate quality of drinking water sources improvement with cluster 2 as an indicator of success. Cluster 4 consists of households with high expenditure, marking it as a potential household for the government to make water quality improvements.

Socialization and Education on Biopore Infiltration Hole Construction at SMK Bina Profesi Pekanbaru Promoting Environmental Awareness and Sustainable Practices
Authors: Sari Neri Puspita , Setiani Yulia , Yasri Desi , Zaiyar Zaiyar , Rini Silfia
Published: December 2024

Pekanbaru has experienced frequent flooding due to high rainfall intensity, exacerbated by the reduction of water infiltration areas, which have been converted into residential and commercial zones. Additionally, poor environmental awareness is evident from waste accumulation along roadsides, obstructing drainage systems and contributing to surface runoff. With limited available land and reduced natural infiltration capacity, biopore infiltration holes offer a viable solution for mitigating waterlogging. Biopores facilitate rainwater absorption through artificial infiltration, effectively reducing surface runoff during heavy rains. This study focuses on the socialization and implementation of biopore infiltration holes at SMK Bina Profesi Pekanbaru. The process involved awareness programs for students, emphasizing the environmental benefits and construction techniques of biopores. Observations of the surrounding environment were conducted to assess water infiltration conditions, followed by the preparation and installation of biopores. The initiative not only aimed to reduce flood risks and runoff but also addressed waste management by utilizing organic waste in the biopore holes. Decomposed organic matter is converted into compost, promoting sustainable waste recycling. The biopore program at SMK Bina Profesi successfully educated students on both environmental stewardship and practical techniques for managing water infiltration, contributing to improved local sustainability efforts

Published: December 2024

While there are alarming developments in climate and energy all over the world, there are also exciting developments in the fields of renewable and sustainable energy. Clean energy sources are seen as one of the essential solutions to environmental pollution and the climate crisis. Considering the climatic changes, the point of no return has been reached, and all living life is endangered ecologically and economically. In this context, we can state that interest in technologies based on solar energy, one of the clean energy sources, is increasing. Artificial Solar Energy (fusion energy) has offered humanity a safe, clean, sustainable, and non-intrusive option in recent years. Especially against the energy crisis that will occur in the coming years, experts draw attention to the consequences of nuclear fusion (Artificial Solar Energy) energy, which is expected to be activated in a few decades, in social, economic, and educational systems. Artificial Solar Energy (fusion technology) is a bright candidate, representing an infinite form of energy that is free from the dangers of pollution and nuclear explosions and has an abundance of fuel. The power of energy to close an era in the past and open a new one continues today with the Energy 4.0 version, heralding the beginning of a new era. This presents several career opportunities for both science education and science graduates. For these reasons, the career opportunities that such projects, which many states cooperate with and support, can offer through science education are intriguing. This study, which is a vision paper, focuses on career opportunities in science education and provides information on Artificial Solar Energy, fission and fusion reactions, EAST, and ITER projects.
Resisting the Allure: The West as Fiction in the Arab Immigrant Novel
Authors: Murad Rimun
Published: December 2024

This article investigates the resemblance between the Arab immigrant experience in the Arab immigrant novel, on the one hand, and the experience of fiction reading, on the other one. The article analyzes Tayeb Salih’s Season of migration to the north (1966), Waguih Ghali’s Beer in the snooker club (1964), Walid Al Hajjar’s trilogy The search for the self (published privately in 1973, 1979, and 1984), Leila Aboulela’s The translator (1999), and Alaa Al Aswany’s Chicago: A novel (2007) to demonstrate the presence of a pattern depicting the experience of Arab immigrants as akin to fiction reading. Drawing from genre, postcolonial, and diasporic studies, this project argues that the West, for the Arab immigrant characters, shares many of the features of fiction: its emotional distance, authority, the privacy of its experience, the space it allows for role playing, and its allowance or requirement of a temporary reinvention of the self. Such characteristics, the project shows, illuminate our understanding of significant issues such as the integration of Arab immigrants into Western countries and their sense of home and belonging. While these characteristics comprise the lure of the fictional West, they also account for its oppression and exclusion. The Arab immigrant characters who find the prolonged fictional experience of the West painful respond to the agony of this experience through violence—to depart from the Western experience altogether or to settle for it despite its unpleasantness—or through the establishment of a native, home religion in the receiving Western countries.
Intimate Betrayals: Uncovering Eugenicist Logics in the Stories of Two Black German Women
Authors: Burkhard Tanja
Published: December 2024

This paper draws on data from an ongoing qualitative research study on the educational experiences and identities of Black transnational women to explore the question: “What can be learned about the transnational legacies of eugenicist thought as we examine the stories of two Black German women?” These data are represented in two vignettes crafted from interviews, conversations, and memories to explore the implications of eugenicist logic in the lives of Black German women. Decried as an ableist, racist, misogynistic, and pseudoscientific project that sought to improve “human stock,” the objectives of the eugenics movement of the early 19th century have been rejected in most scholarly fields of the 21st century. However, the narratives centered in this paper show that eugenicist logic, ideologies, and discourses remain persistent, insidious parts of contemporary discourses. Theoretically and methodologically, the paper engages a Transnational Black Feminist approach (Burkhard, 2019, 2021) to qualitative research to attend to the ways in which eugenicist ideologies are narrated and reproduced in intimate moments of everyday life, highlighting the continuous need for contemporary feminist scholarship to consider global, transnational, and local lenses in knowledge production.

Authors: Thais Council  , Luney LeAnna T. , Snow Amica , Brents Haley , Clark Tiffany
Published: December 2024

Black girls in Kentucky are hyper-minoritized. This marker gives others the notion that Black girls are abnormal, in need of programming, and incapable of narrating their own existence. The D.O.P.E. Black Girl Research Collective—an intergenerational, interdisciplinary research collective comprised of community-centered researchers at the University of Kentucky, Berea College, and the Lexington Housing Authority – conducted an 18-month Photovoice research study alongside Black girls in central Kentucky to examine how and in what ways Black girls define their lives in a post-2020 climate—that is, after the murders of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery amidst the explosion of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using bell hooks’ “talking back” framing, this paper outlines a Photovoice methodological approach to conducting research by, for, and with Black girls pushed to the margins in a Southern locale. Our collective research revealed the distinct ways in which Black girls “talk back” while sustaining a culture of collective care.
(De)Coloniality of Mothering: Race, Gender, and Mothers in Schools
Authors: Abdi Nimo , Sanchez Loza Dinorah , Vue Kalia
Published: December 2024

This study builds on decolonial, Chicanx, and Black Feminist Theory to explore how “mothering” as a phenomenon has been theorized and how it manifested in our respective research sites: (a) within Somali immigrant mothers in urban communities in the United Kingdom; and (b) how the role of mothers was understood and deployed in predominantly White suburban Ohio. We draw on stories from our research to argue that the modern/colonial gender system constructs ideas and possibilities of motherhood in different ways depending on the sociopolitical and epistemological locations of those engaged in motherwork. We argue that decolonial mothering includes pedagogies of collectivism necessary for healing and joy. And finally, we reflect on how the findings from our studies can contribute to liberatory practices through projects of de-linking from discourses of coloniality in academic spaces.
Citizenship Education: Toward a Relationality and Care Approach
Authors: Shehneh Shaima
Published: December 2024

Responding to public rhetoric and policy documents advocating for citizenship education as the type of education that will safeguard democracy and address societal challenges, schools around the world have been including citizenship education as a discrete part of the curriculum. While the field remains complex and contextual, some of the major aims maintain the cultivation of a critical, active, responsible, democratic citizen. In this paper, I explore apolitical and exclusionary approaches to citizenship education by problematizing terms such as participation, human rights, autonomy, and critical thinking. Through emphasizing the citizen-in-context, I draw on Biesta’s notion of subjectification to approach citizenship education in a pluralistic society. In challenging a universal neutral framework of human rights, I propose citizenship as care and relationality to defy exclusion and unjust dominant discourses and practices in the field. I also reflect on my own personal journey as a researcher from the periphery, conducting research in and on the center. I bring in some memos and journals that highlight some tensions and struggles as well as channels of emancipation and relief.

Friction & wear are main reasons for mechanical failures of heavy loaded gearboxes. However, reformed lubricant can be used to control this. This study investigates the tribological behavior of composite Nano size particles with ZDDP as add-on in EP gearbox oil for various concentrations of composite additive - 0.005, 0.01, 0.02 wt.%. All tests have conducted under variable loads (60 N, 80 N & 100N) & sliding velocities (0.65m/s, 1.05 m/s & 1.50 m/s). The experimental reading on antiwear & antifriction parameters for gear EP oil has been tested on pin on disc instrument. The response surface approach was used to build the experiment's design (DOE), which examined the ideal friction coefficient & wear volume loss in EP 220 Lubricant. Outcomes from the experimental study have been compared for two gear EP oils to indicate influence of various parameters like nanoparticles blend %, load and sliding velocity. It is found that the blending of gear EP oil with composite additives & ZDDP diminishes the wear & COF by 11.98 % and 9.81 % individually under various load & speed working conditions.

Clostridioides difficile, a Gram-positive spore-forming bacterium, has emerged as a significant cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) on a global scale. While initial investigations predominantly linked C. difficile transmission to hospital settings, recent reports indicate a worrisome increase in community-acquired C. difficile infections (CDIs), irrespective of factors such as prior hospitalization or age. The CDC's 2021 Annual Report for Clostridioides difficile infection underscores this shift, revealing a slightly higher prevalence of CDIs in the community (55.9 cases/100.000 people) compared to healthcare settings (54.3 cases/100.000 people). These statistics highlight the substantial role of non-hospital sources in CDI transmission. Ongoing studies posits zoonotic pathways, particularly the consumption of contaminated food, as pivotal in community-acquired CDI transmission. Research findings indicate the detection of C. difficile in both raw and heat-treated meat, as well as meat products, raising significant concerns. Present investigations emphasize a noteworthy potential for the transmission of C. difficile to humans through the consumption of poultry meat. Although no traces of this bacterium have been identified in heat-treated poultry meat and products thus far, the risk of latent transmission through cooked poultry products should not be dismissed. Despite the absence of identified cases in processed poultry meat, the plausible transmission of C. difficile through these products underscores the exigency for further investigation in this field. This review provides an in-depth screening of studies on C. difficile contamination in poultry meat and its products worldwide. It also summarizes the risk factors associated with C. difficile infection through poultry meat consumption and outlines preventive measures to mitigate this risk.
Antimicrobial susceptibilities of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) isolates recovered from perineum and nasal mucosa swab samples of dogs in Niger
Authors: Lekko Yusuf
Published: December 2024

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an important opportunistic pathogens of dogs, other domestic animals and humans. The proximity between humans, livestock and antimicrobial use in animals facilitates the emergence and spread of MRSA. In this study, 400 swab samples taken from the perineum and nasal mucosa of dogs. Swab samples were inoculated on 5% blood agar (Sigma® Switzerland) for 24 hours of aerobic incubation at 37 °C, growth with yellowish-white colonies with smooth, slightly raised surfaces were further gram stain and biochemical test of Coagulase and catalase tests was performed. Positive isolates were then inoculated mannitol salt agar (MSA, Oxoid) and incubated for 24 hours at 37 °C and further confirmed using Oxacillin Resistance Screening Basal (ORSAB) medium (Oxoid, Basingstoke, United Kingdom). Antibiotics susceptibility testing was determined using the Kirby Bauer’s disc diffusion method according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline and positive S. aureus were inoculated on Mueller-Hilton Agar (Oxoid) plates and Vanier callipers were used to measure the zones of inhibition in millimetres (mm). Out of the 200 samples each from the nasal mucosa and perineum, 55%(72) and 39.5% (49) were positive for MRSA respectively. Out of the 206 male and 194 female dog sampled, 57.0% (69) and 43.0%(52) were positive for MRSA respectively. Nigerian indigenous breed (Mongrel) has the highest proportion of MRSA isolates with 48.8% (59) while Golden retriever has the least proportion of MRSA isolates with 0.8% (1). Most of the MRSA isolates were resistant to oxacillin, cefoxitin, tetracycline, erythromycin and cephazolin but susceptibile to gentamycin, ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol.
Migration Governance from an Institutional Perspective: An Index for “Good” Migration Governance
Authors: Karabacak Hakan , Köse Yaşar , Aktaş Bozkurt Melike
Published: December 2024

The widespread socio-economic effects of migration make migration governance critical from an administrative and institutional perspective. Based on good governance principles, this article develops an Index for Good Migration Governance (IGMG). For this purpose, five principles of good governance (effectiveness, transparency, accountability, participation and legal framework) were selected. These principles are contained in documents published by the World Bank, the United Nations or the International Monetary Fund, which have made significant contributions to the development of good governance principles. The index is calculated using the methodology used by the European Commission in business and consumer surveys. Unlike the migration indexes developed in the past, IGMG builds on the selected principles of good governance from an institutional perspective and focuses on institutional structures related to migration governance. IGMG aims to raise the awareness of organizations on migration policies and practices and enable them to take the necessary steps for good migration governance.
Recourse Relationship within the Framework of Legal Representatives' Liability For Tax Debts Of Limited Liability Companies
Authors: Çamurcu Emin
Published: December 2024

In limited liability companies, legal representatives are held liable for tax debts in the event that tax duties are not duly fulfilled. In this study, we investigate the extent of the right of recourse available to legal representatives who, having been held accountable for the tax liabilities of a company, were compelled to settle such debts. Additionally, we explore the legal foundation of this right of recourse and identify the parties against whom the legal representatives may exercise this right. It is also explicitly regulated in the law that the legal representatives may file a recourse action against the company in case of payment to the tax administration. Although the wording of the legal regulation only includes the right of recourse for tax receivables, legal representatives have the right to apply to the company for other tax-related receivables and tax penalties.In addition to the main taxpayer company, legal representatives have the right of recourse to other legal representatives in accordance with the liability provisions of company law. Although it is not explicitly regulated in the law, since the economic benefit ultimately belongs to the shareholders due to the activities carried out by the company, the legal representative who pays the tax debt has the right of recourse to the shareholders of the company in proportion to their shares.
