Published: August 2023

Enzymatic reactions are an ecofriendly, selective and versatile addition, sometimes even alternative to organic reactions for the synthesis of chemical compounds such as pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals. To identify suitable reactions, computational models to predict the activity of enzymes on non-native substrates, to perform retrosynthetic pathway searches, or to predict the outcomes of reactions including regio- and stereoselectivity are becoming increasingly important. However, current approaches are substantially hindered by the limited amount of available data, especially if balanced and atom mapped reactions are needed and if the models feature machine learning components. We therefore constructed a high-quality dataset (EnzymeMap) by developing a large set of correction and validation algorithms for recorded reactions in the literature and showcase its significant positive impact on machine learning models of retrosynthesis, forward prediction, and regioselectivity prediction, outperforming previous approaches by a large margin. Our dataset allows for deep learning models of enzymatic reactions with unprecedented accuracy, and is freely available online.

Published: August 2023

Knowing the structures of intermediates in phase transformations is crucial for elucidating the formation mechanisms and tailoring the properties of many industrially important materials, ranging from ceramics1 alloys/metal oxides2-5and battery cathodes6-10 to nanoporous materials11-19and pharmaceuticals.20-22 However, the intermediates of many these materials consist of submicrometre- or nanometre-sized crystals and their structures often exhibit large similarity and/or contain disorder.6,7,12-16 Particularly, intermediate structures resulting from topotactic reactions and transformations can even share the same unit cell and include partially occupied atoms.6,7,10,12-14 These pose challenges for conventional powder X-ray diffraction in distinguishing detailed structural variations.22 Here we present the discovery of two pure-silica extra-large pore zeolites ECNU-45 and ECNU-46 and visualization of detailed structural changes of reaction intermediates during topotactic transformation from ECNU-45 to ECNU-46. We show that minor differences in complex isocellular zeolite structures with partially occupied and/or disordered atoms can be determined using three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED). Six topologically distinct tetrahedral Si sites were visualized to have varied occupancies in the intermediate structures, demonstrating where the topotactic reactions occurred directly. This further enables visualization of the gradual atomic structure changes and pore architecture transformations of ECNU-45 (3D, 24×10×10-ring) into ECNU-46 (1D, 24-ring). Our results open the way to elucidating complex solid-state reaction and phase transformation mechanisms of polycrystalline materials at atomic-scale for new materials engineering.

Published: August 2023

Designing easily recyclable polymers with customized properties is a key challenge to face up environmental concerns and the growing plastics demand. Here, we report a dynamic chemistry between CO2-sourced alkylidene oxazolidones and thiols that delivers circular non-isocyanate polyurethane networks embedding N,S-acetal bonds. Oxazolidones are synthesized from cheap reagents and carbon dioxide. The polymer structure is tuned by monomer design, translating in a wide panel of mechanical properties, ranging from PDMS-like elastomers (Young’s modulus (E) = 2.9 MPa and elongation at break (Ebreak) = 159%) to polystyrene-like rigid plastics (E = 2800 MPa, Ebreak = 2%). The dynamic nature of the N,S-acetal bond offers multiple closed- and open-loop recycling options, facilitating repeated thermoset reprocessing into the same material or the production of a different one of distinct properties. The versatility of this chemistry shows great potential for preparing materials (including composites) of tunable properties that can be recycled by multiple scenarios.

Published: August 2023

Carbon dioxide (CO2), as a renewable, abundant and inexpensive C1 feedstock, has long been recognized as an ideal comonomer to prepare sustainable materials. Contrast to the well-established alternating copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides, little success has been made on polymer synthesis via CO2/olefin copolymerization. Here we report an unprecedented strategy to synthesize bifunctional polyesters from CO2, butadiene, and epoxides via a metastable lactone intermediate, 3-ethylidene-6-vinyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-one (EVP). The obtained polyesters with tunable EVP content (39-93 mol%) show good thermal stability, and can conveniently undergo chemical degradation. Mechanistic studies revealed that the in situ formation of dimer EVP circumvented the electronic effect of conjugated ester and enhanced the steric hindrance, promoting the desired ring-opening reaction. This method extends the potential to access functional CO2-based polymers beyond the conventional polycarbonates obtained from CO2 and epoxides.

Published: August 2023

Diamond-based hyperpolarization of external molecular spins has a significant impact on the modality of the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and its sensitivity. The current nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center-based hyperpolarization and optical detection technique however faces a challenge in its implementation at high external field conditions required for the analysis of complex chemical entities such as proteins. In this work, we demonstrate that the surface electrons of nanodiamonds can be an attractive alternative with a number of practical benefits to this end. We first show at a very high external field condition (16.4 T) and low temperature (30 K) that the 13C spin polarization 200-fold higher than the conventional NMR can be achieved for the external bio-molecules within ~3 nm from the diamond surface with no laser illumination and no lattice orientation dependence. This latter property enabled us to record sensitivity-enhanced high-resolution multi-dimensional NMR data on protein sample under continuous sample spinning. We also show that the smallness of the nanodiamond (~5 nm), stability to bio-reduction and richness in surface chemistry enables a molecular-specific delivery of the diamond particle to targeted protein amyloid fibers within crowded cellular environment for a selective hyperpolarization. Overall, this work opens up new avenues to highly sensitive and targeted in-situ MAS NMR spectroscopy, relevant to biology and other fields.

Published: August 2023

Pathogenic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) single-nucleotide variants are a common cause of adult mitochondrial disease. Levels of some variants decrease with age in blood. Given differing division rates, longevity, and energetic requirements within haematopoietic lineages, we hypothesised that cell-type–specific metabolic requirements drive this decline. We coupled cell-sorting with mtDNA sequencing to investigate mtDNA variant levels within progenitor, myeloid, and lymphoid lineages from 26 individuals harbouring one of two pathogenic mtDNA variants (m.3243A>G and m.8344A>G). For both variants, cells of the T cell lineage show an enhanced decline. High-throughput single-cell analysis revealed that decline is driven by increasing proportions of cells that have cleared the variant, following a hierarchy that follows the current orthodoxy of T cell differentiation and maturation. Furthermore, patients with pathogenic mtDNA variants have a lower proportion of T cells than controls, indicating a key role for mitochondrial function in T cell homeostasis. This work identifies the ability of T cell subtypes to selectively purify their mitochondrial genomes, and identifies pathogenic mtDNA variants as a new means to track blood cell differentiation status.

Transportation planning using activity-based travel demand model
Authors: Ramesh Kumar
Published: August 2023

According to Bangalore's Transportation Department, the number of transport vehicles in the city will be close to 85.6 lakh two wheelers, 50 lakh automobiles, and 20 lakh transport vehicles by the end of 2023. Two-wheelers account for 58.41% of all vehicles, while Light Motor Vehicles (LMVs) account for 22%, Heavy Motor Vehicle (HMVs) for 11%, and other vehicles account for 8.59%. Therefore, there is a need for efficient transportation planning. From earlier research, it was found that activity-based modeling is more efficient for evaluation. In this study, a method was proposed to develop an activity-based travel demand model for the selected zones of Bangalore city, and work trips were generated from the Global Tech Park. The trips were monitored, and it was found that people came from all around Bengaluru. Four zones in Bengaluru were chosen for this study because they provided the most travel to the Global Tech Park. The four zones were Kengeri, Mylasandra, RR Nagar, and Vijaynagar. The data were collected through individual person surveys, considering the influential parameters in developing person tours. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software, and models were developed based on parameters such as age, sex, monthly income, distance traveled, active travel, daily travel cost, and vehicle ownership. The results obtained in the form of the models were compared with those of traditional models. In addition, the factors influencing the trips of each individual were studied, and the effects of these factors were analyzed. The results obtained were satisfactory in terms of the R2 value and other testing parameters. From the primary data analysis, it was found that the preference for modal choices of the public increased from public transport (i.e., buses) to private transport (i.e., owned cars) as per the increase in age, income, professions, travel distance, and daily travel cost.
Evaluation of probability distributions for estimation of peak flood discharge using FFA approach
Authors: Vivekanandan N.
Published: August 2023

The estimation of Peak Flood Discharge (PFD) for a specific return period is of paramount importance in hydrological studies for the planning, design, and management of civil and hydraulic structures. This research investigates the evaluation of probability distributions through statistical tests, viz., the Chi-Square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, and D-index. These tests aid in estimating the PFD using the Flood Frequency Analysis (FFA) approach for the Tapi River at Prakasha Barrage. In this analysis, various distributions from the extreme value family such as Extreme Value Type-1, Extreme Value Type-2, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV), and Pareto, were employed in the FFA. The distribution parameters are determined by standard techniques, such as the method of moments, Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM), and the Method of L-Moments (LMO). A qualitative assessment, along with the D-index value, was employed to select the most suitable distribution for the analyzed data. This study demonstrates that among the four distributions adopted in FFA, the GEV (LMO) distribution exhibits the best fit. Furthermore, this research suggests the use of PFDs derived from the GEV (LMO) distribution for design purposes.

Study on the Manoeuvring Performance of a Fishing Vessel Based on CFD Simulation of the Hull Forms and Rudder Shapes
Authors: Choi Hyeonsil , Kwon Soo Yeon , Kim Sang-Hyun , Kim In-Tae
Published: August 2023

To evaluate manoeuvring performance of merchant ships, the mathematical modeling group (MMG) or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are used. However, it is difficult to use the MMG to evaluate the manoeuvring performance of fishing vessels, thus research using CFD simulations is necessary. Also, since the course-changing and turning ability is crucial in fishing operations, a rudder design suitable for fishing vessels is necessary. This study designs a rudder using National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) airfoil sections and evaluates its manoeuvring performance. A CFD model is used to evaluate the manoeuvring performance of the fishing vessel, and turning and zig-zag tests are conducted. The effectiveness of using CFD simulations based on Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations to assess the manoeuvring performance of fishing vessels was validated. No significant difference was found in the manoeuvring performance for hull forms and rudder designs for course-changing ability. However, the original hull form showed superior turning performance. Among five rudders with varying aspect ratios and shapes, the rudder with 5.5% aspect ratio had the best turning performance. Regarding the rudder design for fishing vessels, NACA airfoil was employed, and a rudder aspect ratio of 5.5% based on the immersed hull side area is recommended.
An Experimental Study of Non-Electrolysis Anti-Microfouling Technology Based on Bioelectric Effect
Authors: Kim Young Wook
Published: August 2023

Biofouling initiated by biofilm (slime) formation is a key challenge for practical ocean engineering and construction. This study evaluated a new anti-biofilm technology using bioelectricity. The anti-microfouling electrical technology is based on the principles of the bioelectric effect, known as the application of an electrostatic force for biofilm removal. Previously, the electricity was optimized below 0.82V to avoid electrolysis, which can prevent the production of biocides. A test boat comprised of microelectronics for electrical signal generation with electrodes for an anti-biofouling effect was developed. The tests were conducted in the West Sea of Korea (Wangsan Marina, Incheon) for three weeks. The surface biofouling was quantified. A significant reduction of fouling was observed under the bioelectric effect conditions, with approximately 30% enhanced prevention of fouling progress (P<0.05). This technology can be an alternative eco-friendly technique for anti-microfouling that can be applied for canals, vessels, and coastal infrastructure because it does not induce electrolysis.

Published: August 2023

Objects adrift can cause considerable damage to coastal infrastructure and property during tsunami and storm surge events. Despite the potential for harm, the drifting behavior of these objects remains poorly understood, thereby hindering effective prediction and mitigation of collision damage. To address this gap, this study employed a motion analysis program to track a drifting container's location using images from an existing laboratory experiment. The container's trajectory and velocity were calculated based on the positions of five markers strategically placed at its four corners and center. Our findings indicate that the container's maximum drift velocity and distance are directly influenced by the scale of the solitary wave and inversely related to the container's weight. Specifically, heavier containers are less likely to be displaced by solitary waves, while larger waves can damage coastal structures more. This study offers new insights into container drift behavior induced by solitary waves, with implications for enhancing coastal infrastructure design and devising mitigation strategies to minimize the risk of collision damage.

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Gamification, or the use of game attributes outside of a game context to affect learning-related behaviors or attitudes, is seen as an innovative way to support the diverse needs of students with learning or behavioral challenges. One digital educational game that is gaining popularity is Quizizz, a game-based online test that enables entertaining multiplayer teaching activities and allows learners to practice with their devices. This study aimed to examine students' perceptions of the use of Quizizz as a formative test tool in German classrooms at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The participants of this study were first-year students studying German who were given a formative test using Quizizz for one semester. A descriptive qualitative research design was used in this study, in which data were collected from questionnaires to gain insight into how Quizizz affected the aspects of enjoyment, motivation, engagement, and satisfaction. The results showed that all aspects asked in the questionnaire received a strong positive response, indicating that students have a very good perception of Quizizz in the classroom. The positive response to the use of Quizizz in German language learning suggests that it could be used more widely as a formative assessment tool in language learning. The findings suggest that gamification can be an effective way to engage students and motivate them to learn. As a result, educators may want to consider using other gamified tools and techniques in the classroom to create a more enjoyable and engaging learning experience.Keywords: Gamification, German Classroom, Quizizz, Students' Perception
Moslem Women in Paris on Novel of Tahar Ben Jelloun: Les Yeux Baissés
Authors: Syamsudin Oom Rohmah , Madinier Rémy
Published: August 2023

Abstract. This article aims to describe the cultural conflicts occurred by Maghreb immigrants in Paris, especially female immigrants who have various conflicts, due to the difference perception of women both in Maghreb and in France. As a qualitative research, this research instrument is the researchers themselves with data from the novel Les Yeux Baissés by Tahar Ben Jelloun, a Maghreb author living in Paris. The data were then analyzed using the Semiotic theory of Roland Barthes: the novel is considered as a sign to be interpreted. The results of the study indicate that the cause of the conflicts is the differences in tradition, race, and religion. These differences make them feel “unaccepted” in France. Therefore, Moslem women in Paris have two types of cultural identities: Identity of being (the mother of Fathma, the main character) and Identity of becoming (Fathma, the main character). Besides, these Maghebian immigrants belong to the diaspora’s group: First, the Essentialists, diaspora who closed themselves off, just carried on their traditions, culture and religion as they did back home. Second, whom adopt the French culture, religion, and way of life. Third, those with 'floating' traits: born in France, do not know the cultural traditions of their hometown, only know French culture which “does not accept them”. Therefore it can be said that the ‘floating’ generation needs a 'special place' that is neither the culture of their parents, nor the culture of France, and that third place can be called a 'place of transit'.Keywords: Maghreb Diaspora, Moslem Women, Cultural Conflict, Place of Transit
Postcolonial Trace in the Translation of Bumi Manusia
Authors: Wedhowerti Wedhowerti
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Bumi Manusia as a postcolonial novel became a vehicle for Toer to articulate his national identity as Indonesian during the Dutch colonialism. Its translation into This Earth of Mankind posts two questions of whether or not power relations are brought in the translation and how the translator represents Indonesian culture in English. In order to answer the two, postcolonial translation approach was employed. This research is qualitative for it aims at analyzing the text. Seven data were selected based on two indicators representing the most relation between the colonized and colonizer or postcoloniality of the Dutch East Indies and were analyzed employing Baker’s translation strategies. The findings reveal that there are unequal relations between the source language (Indonesian) and the target language (English). In This Earth of Mankind, the translator does not show Indonesian cultural representation. There are great loss of information, omission, biased information, and great loss of impactful meaning of the source language in the target language that create another colonial domain and leave colonial trace in the target language.Keywords: Postcolonial Translation, Bumi Manusia, Postcolonialism, Colonialism, Power Relations

Authors: Ernanda Ernanda
Published: August 2023

Abstract. This study aims to uncover the utilization of positive discourse in presidential rhetoric during the G20 Summit 2022. This qualitative study employs a dataset of speeches delivered by the President of Indonesia, obtained from the official website of The Secretary of the Cabinet of the Republic of Indonesia. The speeches were published online between November 14 and 16, 2022. The procedures involve examining the speeches, identifying positive language, categorizing the data into three main themes (i.e., uniting, being optimistic, and maintaining world peace), analyzing rhetorical strategies and interpreting the data using the Positive Discourse Analysis approach. The results show that the President of Indonesia encourages all countries to unite to achieve common goals. Despite a severe toll on the world economy after the pandemic, he spreads optimism to the summit. He also persuades everyone to maintain world peace. These three focal points are conveyed by utilizing personal pronouns ‘we’ to strengthen the sense of collectivity and build unity and ‘I’ to highlight his good leadership quality. Justification for the negative impacts of war is expressed through conditional clauses. Other discursive strategies in his rhetoric include using lexical choices, parallel structures, modals, metaphors, rhetorical questions, and repetitive phrases. The encouragement and uplifting messages in the speeches may boost positive vibes in the meeting. The use of rhetorical techniques can impact international relations, economic cooperation, and how people worldwide work together to address common issues.Keywords: Positive Discourse Analysis, president, indonesia, G20, summit

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Fillmore is modern linguistic figure who pioneered the emergence of case grammar theory. He stated that case grammar is a new version of the theory modified from the old theory, namely generative transformation grammar. He developed case grammar after seeing a problem with the grammar of generative transformations. Thus, he declared that case grammar consists of two basic components: modality and proposition. In a line with this background, the purposes of this study are: (1) to reveal the modality in the film “Enola Holmes” based on the perspective of Charles J. Fillmore; (2) to reveal the preposition in the film “Enola Holmes” based on the perspective of Charles J. Fillmore. The type of this study is qualitative descriptive study. Data is in the form of conversation in the film. Thus, the data were taken through watching, listening, and note-taking techniques. The data was analyzed by using three steps. They are data reduction: researchers classified data based on elements of case grammar theory including modalities and propositions, data presentation: researchers displayed data in the form of the table in accordance of modalities and propositions, and interpreted data based on case grammar theory, and conclusion: researchers conducted data induction from interpretation results and ensured that the interpretation results fulfilled the elements of case grammar theory. The results show that the modality in the film “Enola Holmes” based on the perspective of Charles J. Fillmore consists of three modalities. They are tense modality, adverb modality, and negation modality. At the same time, the proposition consists of ten types. They are agentive case (A), experiential case (E), instrument case (I), objective case (O), source case (S), goal case (G), locative case (L), time case (T), companion case (CMP), and benefactive case (B). The results of this study strengthen Fillmore’s theory which states that as a part of sentence structures, modalities and propositions have types and forms and in the context of English film dialogue, the emergence of modalities and propositions is influenced by sentence structure used by the speaker in conveying his meaning.Keywords: Case Grammar, Film, Modality, Proposition

Undergraduate Students’ Learner Autonomy during Thesis Writing: The Case of a Group of EFL Students in Indonesia

Published: August 2023

Abstract. Learner autonomy has recently gained popularity among scholars of ELT as autonomy is pivotal, especially during the thesis writing process. This study aims to explore undergraduate students’ learner autonomy during thesis writing. A case study method was employed to explore and record students' autonomy. A case study is a comprehensive, all-encompassing description and study of specific phenomena like a program, an institution, a person, a process, or a social unit.  The data were collected from semi-structured interviews, weekly writing progress of five EFL students in Indonesia, and observation in the classroom. As a case study, those five participants were sufficient to represent their learning autonomy demonstrated during the semester. Oxford's taxonomy of learner autonomy was used to find the emerged themes from the interviews. The data raised three themes: motivation, agency, and writing strategies. The extrinsic motivation was more dominant than intrinsic motivation in this study. Moreover, three of five participants indicated highly intense motivation. Regarding learning strategy, students with more motivation were able to explore more writing strategies. It was found that social strategies were widely employed by the participants. They like to discuss with their peers and ask for feedback from their supervisor. Agency during undergraduate thesis writing is still underrepresented, particularly the one demonstrating students’ decisions about their research trajectory. This study revealed that their agency is affected by their experiences and projective dimension to make improvements. Supervisor instructions play a crucial role in the development of students' autonomy. Hence, further investigation in this area is needed. This study offers research and practical implications for future research and educators, especially in higher education. This study provides a future research direction for both students and lecturers to foster learner autonomy during undergraduate thesis writing.Keywords: Agency, Learner Autonomy, Motivation, Writing Strategies
