The Employment of ATR-FTIR Spectroscopy and Chemometrics for Authentication of Bawal (Colossoma macromopum) Fish Oil from Palm Oil
Authors: Anggriani Firhani , Rohman Abdul , Martien Ronny
Published: May 2024

Fish is a product with high nutritional content, and the development of fish oil has made it easier for consumers to consume. High-quality fish oil can be a target for adulteration, such as with vegetable oils like palm oil. FTIR spectroscopy was developed for the authentication of bawal fish oil (BFO) from palm oil (PO). Bawal fish oil and palm oil were prepared in binary mixtures with concentrations from 0-100%, resulting in 21 mixtures. The oil was directly measured by attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectral measurement in the mid-infrared region (4000-600 cm-1). The results were combined with linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and multivariate calibration, such as PLSR or PCR. The results showed that LDA could make clear discrimination between bawal fish oil, palm oil, and their mixtures without any misclassification observed. Multivariate calibration with PLSR using the first derivative spectrum provided the best model for the relationship between actual and predicted FTIR values. At this conditions, the R2 values for the calibration and validation models obtained were 0.9966 and 0.9969, with RMSEC and RMSEP values of 0.0249 and 0.0248, respectively. Therefore, FTIR spectroscopy combined with LDA and PLSR is an effective method for authenticating bawal fish oil from palm oil.

Published: May 2024

The total flavonoid content in salam leaves has an anti-inflammatory activity at a dose of 2.1% w/w. For topical anti-inflammatory, a matrix patch has a delivery mechanism that drugs pass through in the skin in a controlled for an extended period. Polymers were the patch's main component to control the drug release. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alpha-cellulose (AC) were polymers that can increase the rate of drug diffusion and form a strong film layer. Salam leaves were extracted by maceration using ethanol 96%. Matrix patches were made with a combination of PVA and AC in ratios 1:1; 3:1; 1:3. The patches were tested for physicochemical properties. The stability test was conducted at 4, 25, and 40 temperatures for 8 h, respectively. Statistical analysis of the test data used One Way ANOVA with a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that the high concentration of PVA significantly affected the weight and moisture content but did not affect the organoleptic thickness, folding endurance, and pH of the matrix patch. The best matrix patch of salam leaves ethanolic extract was PVA and AC of 3:1 because it met the requirements for the matrix patch, including the weight of 1.96-2.06 grams, thickness of 1.15-1.18 mm, folding endurance >300 times, humidity 25.75 – 30.17% and pH 6.3 – 7.1. The patch contains flavonoids with Rf values for extract and patch of 0.95 and 0.96, respectively. Further study, in vivo anti-inflammatory test is necessary.

Authors: Jamal Jamal
Published: May 2024

This research aims to do a theoretical study for recognizing the challenges related to archivingperforming arts at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts (ISI) Surakarta as an integral component of the development of the ISI Surakarta Arts Archive. Employing qualitative research methods with a literature review approach, it gathered information from various sources such as books, academic journals, and previous research. Data analysis is carried out by describing and interpreting the diverse viewpoints and procedural aspects. This research uncovers a fundamental challenge in archiving performing arts at ISI Surakarta due to their ephemeral nature—these arts exist solely during live performances, making preservation a complex task. Tracking the existence of performing arts relies on annotations, recordings, and documents that serve as historical records of these live events. The annotations, recordings, and documentsare derived from the artist's creative process, performance management, audience feedback, artcritics, and public reception. The results of the research state that the challenges faced in archiving performing arts at ISI Surakarta include (1) the need to enhance archivists' understanding of the genesis of performing arts to trace and compile performance-relatedannotations/recordings effectively; (2) the importance of cultivating archival literacy among artists to grasp better and acknowledge the significance of documenting the creative process of their artistic works throughout production and post-performance phases; and (3) the necessity of developing an interactive digital archive for performing arts to draw the artists, the public, and users an access right to contribute authentic and pertinent records, documents, and documentation associated with specific performing arts.
Revisiting Predictions about the Future of Human Life in 20th Century American Sci-Fis
Authors: Jatmiko Rahmawan
Published: May 2024

Predictions and illustrations of life in the future are often integrated in works of science fiction, which could not be immediately proven yet possibly fascinating when looked back on several decades later or at the times predicted in the works. Science fiction authors foretell such events by borrowing theories, concepts, or simply terms used by scientists. Those theories, concepts, and terms can be written in scientific journals or in more popular media. American science fiction works, for instance, illustrate the future by their adaptation in the forms of more popular media such as movies, video games, and the works categorized as the subgenres of cyber literature. All of them are discussed in this paper from the lens of New Historicism, which believes in equality between literary and non-literary texts in viewing phenomena that exist in society, one of which is the relationship between science fiction works, their writers, their readers, and society. Technology is seen as a product of society, so it becomes broadly part of culture. Meanwhile, emerging technology is sometimes coincidental and random, so it can also be seen that technology determines people’s movements and lifestyles. This study contributes to ongoing discussions on the ethical and societal implications of speculative narratives by highlighting the interconnectedness between literature, science, technology, and society.

Published: May 2024

This study was carried out to investigate the macro-anatomical,
morphometric, histological and electron microscopic characteristics of
the uropygial gland in adult male and female turkeys (Meleagris
Gallapova). The glandula uropygialis of thirteen adult turkeys (6 males,
7 females) were used for this study. It was determined that this
glandular structure located dorsal to the last caudal vertebrae was
heart-shaped and consisted of two lobes and a papilla system. As a
result of statistical evaluation, significant differences were found
between the sexes in the parameters of lobe length, papilla width and
papilla height (P<0.05). Also, PUI value had a statistically
significant difference (P<0.05). Tissue samples taken to
determine the histological structure of the gland were stained with
Haematoxylin & Eosin, Crossman’s and Periodic Acid Schiff. Histological
examination revealed that the gland had a two-lobed structure surrounded
by a capsule composed of connective tissue. It was determined that the
gland had a tubuloalveolar-holocrine structure and the epithelial layer
consisted of cellular layers as germinative layer, intermediate layer,
secretory layer and degenerative layer from the periphery to the centre.
In the scanning electron microscope examination, the lobe structure of
the gland consisted of different shaped follicles protruding from the
surface. It was observed that these glandular follicle structures were
gathered together in different ways or mostly disorganised. As a result
of the study, it was determined that the morphological and histological
structure of the uropygial gland in turkeys was similar to that of other
bird species, but showed some species-specific and habitat-dependent
differences in general. Research Highlights: The uropygial
gland consisted of a system of two lobes and one papilla in each of male
and female turkeys. The glandular lobes consisted of follicles
surrounded by connective tissue, while the follicles were connected to
each other by interfollicular septae. The results obtained in
morphometric measurements revealed statistical differences between male
and female birds. Histological examination showed PAS (+) reaction in
the basal membranes of tubule epithelial cells and secretion. Lymphoid
cell communities were found in both connective tissue and intertubular
regions.
Malignant Extrarenal Rhabdoid Tumor Derived from the Greater Omentum: A Case Report and Literature Review
Authors: Shao Xue , Xin Wang , Han Lingling , Shuang Luo
Published: May 2024

Background: Extrarenal malignant rhabdoid tumor (MERT) is a
rare and highly metastatic tumor, which is more than 75% of patients
dying within 6 months of initial diagnosis of MERT. Due to its rarity in
clinical practice, there is no expert consensus or guidelines for the
diagnosis, and it often leads to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
Case: This paper reports a 16-year-old girl who presented with
the chief complaint of acute abdominal pain. She underwent laparoscopic
exploration and excisional biopsy, then pathological examination and
immunohistochemistry revealed “extrarenal malignant rhabdomyoma”. One
month after operation, she died of intra-abdominal hemorrhage and
multiple organ dysfunction. Conclusion: Reviewing the cases of
MERT admitted with acute abdomen reported in the last 10 years, it was
found that these patients had a poor prognosis. The surgery and
chemotherapy is usually beneficial to prolong the survival time of
patients with MERT.

Authors: Basith Sayyid , Ramadoss Ananthakumar , Khandelwal Gaurav , Jacob George , Chandrasekhar Arunkumar
Published: May 2024

The escalating concerns surrounding waste management worldwide and the
pressing need for sustainable energy sources have prompted innovative
solutions at the nexus of resource recycling and self-powered
applications. Diapers are disposed of after use in modern society, and
widely available diapers are not environmentally friendly, thus posing a
significant threat to the environment. According to the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP) 2023 report, around 250 million single-use
diapers are thrown out daily across the globe. This research presents a
pioneering approach to recycling super absorbent polymer (SAP) gels from
waste diapers and using them alongside discarded baking sheets to
fabricate a maraca-resembled Diaper Waste-based Triboelectric
Nanogenerator (DW-TENG). The fabricated DW-TENG is demonstrated for
developing a self-powered weather station, enabling real-time wind
speed, humidity, and temperature monitoring. The manuscript details the
intricate fabrication of the DW-TENG, elucidating design considerations,
assembly processes, and the unique roles of SAP powder and baking sheets
in the triboelectric energy generation mechanism. In addition, our study
quantifies the potential global impact of diaper recycling on energy
generation. Based on the calculations, a 4.72 MW power generation is
expected yearly, considering the yearly diaper disposal rates. The work
highlights the transformative impact of recycling practices for energy
generation and represents a promising stride toward a circular and
sustainable future.

Published: May 2024

Growing e-waste and the dwindling of non-renewable materials underscores
the urgency to develop electronics based on renewable natural resources.
Using cellu-lose as a material for 3D printing living fungal electrodes,
is a novel way to harness their metabolic activity for potential use in
electrochemical devices. This study shows that the yeast Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and the white-rot fungus Trametes pubescens in combination
with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and cellulose nano-fibrils can be 3D
printed and that both fungi grow inside the inks. Adding carbon black
and graphite flakes to the inks makes them electronically conductive for
po-tential use as electrodes in fungal batteries, specifically microbial
fuel cells (MFC). A single battery produces a maximum power density of
12.5 μW/cm2 and a maxi-mum current density of 49.2 μA/cm2 (22 kΩ). These
fungal biobatteries can produce between 300-600 mV for several days,
delivering 3-20 μA for external loads be-tween 10 and 100 kΩ. Attaching
four batteries in parallel can power a small sensor for 65 hours. Also,
a fully biodegradable fungal MFC can be constructed with bees-wax and a
customized cellulose proton exchange membrane. This is the first study
that reports on 3D printed cellulose-based fungal electrodes in an MFC.

Criticality of the Thirring Model in 2+1D
Authors:   , Worthy Jude
Published: May 2024

The 2+1d Thirring model provides a good laboratory to explore criticality in a strongly coupled region. We investigate the utility of Ginsparg-Wilson relation obeying Dirac operators, namely overlap operators and domain wall operators for this enterprise and seek to improve them. These operators recover global U(2) symmetry in the continuum limit as required by any theory with chiral symmetry. We do this via calculation of the bilinear condensate and the evaluation of an equation of state around a phase transition. However, numerical calculations using QFTs may be computationally very expensive, especially around phase transitions. In the past often only quenched calculations have been possible. As available computing power has increased however, dynamic calculations have become increasingly feasible. In this work we carry out both quenched and dynamic simulations. We look to find critical exponents via the equation of state characterizing the behaviour of the condensate in the continuum limit, and in the process find improvements in the evaluation of the measurements.

Introduction. Construction of the green healthcare buildings is a rather new and priority direction of construction in China. One of the key components of efficient implementation of the projects of green healthcare buildings is the cost management of a construction investment project. The projects of green buildings envisage the advanced technical content of a facility, a wide project scope and large number of participants. Therefore, the cost management requirements have to be more demanding, however, the traditional fragmented management fails to meet the requirements fostering the development of the green healthcare buildings. The present research investigates the issues of cost management of the green healthcare construction projects, analyses the necessity, feasibility, development trends and practical cost management problems thereof. The research strives to develop the cost management assessment indicators for all life cycle stages of the projects of green healthcare buildings.

Materials and Methods. The research was conducted using such methods as the literature review and the expert interview methods. The expert interview method allows using the experience of experts from the related fields to assist in decisionmaking. Therefore, a questionnaire was developed as a part of the research.

Results. Upon in-depth study of the various factors affecting the cost management of the green healthcare construction projects, the strategies and response measures have been developed based on the advantages and cost management features. By summarizing the cost management assessment indicators referring to implementation of the green healthcare construction projects and by combining the opinions of the experts and scientists from the related fields, the cost management assessment system for a project of green healthcare building has been created. The created assessment indicators make it possible to implement better control over the costs assigned to the green healthcare construction projects, elevate the level of project cost management, enhance the integrated benefits of the project and ensure the cost management and cost control for the similar projects.

Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the research provide a theoretical basis for creating a cost management assessment system for the green healthcare construction projects aimed to solve the problems of cost management of the green healthcare buildings. The practical significance consists in providing a real practical approach to improving the cost management of the projects of green healthcare buildings.

TOEFL sebagai tes Bahasa inggris yang diperuntukkan untuk mengukur kemampuan seseorang dalam bahasa Inggris, terutama bagi mereka yang bukan penutur asli bahasa Inggris mendorong pelajar untuk belajar lebih jauh salah satunya adalah dengan melakukan pembeljaran mandiri. Self-directed ataupun pembelajaran mandiri adalah proses pembelajaran di mana individu mengambil inisiatif untuk merencanakan, melaksanakan, dan mengevaluasi pembelajaran mereka sendiri. Penenlitian ini dilakasanakan secara quantitative dan kualitatif. Secara kuantitaif dilakukan dengan memberikan Angket kepada para pelajar yang akan mengikuti test TOEFL sebanyak 30 orang dan sedang mengikuti kelas pelatihan TOEFL. Secara kualitatif adalah dengan mengadakan  wawancara terhadap 6 orang partisipan yang diambil dari 3 pelajar dengan motivasi tinggi dan 3 orang pelajar dengan motivasi rendah. Data wawancara dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Tematik (Maguire & Delahunt, 2017) yang dilakukan melalui anotasi pada setiap transkrip wawancara dengan tema-tema potensial. Dari hasil angket dan wawancara yang diberikan kepada para siswa dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelajar yang memiliki motivasi tinggi cenderung akan melakukan pembelajaran secara mandiri daripada siswa dengan motivasi rendah. Hal ini dikarenakan siswa dengan motivasi tinggi biasanya telah menetapkan tujuan dan target yang akan dicapai sehingga mereka terkadang tidak merasa puas dengan apa yang hanya mereka dapatkan dari kelas pelatihan TOEFL.

Suicide among rural primary school learners Zimbabwe has reached epidemic proportions, yet there is dearth. However, the causes and potential mitigation strategies are still limited. This article aims to address that gap by exploring Zimbabwe rural primary learners' perspectives. Using a socio-cultural theoretical framework, this qualitative study will conduct focus group with 12 learners from Mahoto rural area, Masvingo North Constituency to elicit learners' lived experiences and suicide motivations. The data will undergo thematic analysis to identify key patterns and themes. Initial findings suggest that academic struggles without access to counselling drive many rural primary school learners to end their lives prematurely. This highlights the need for Zimbabwe's Government, through the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to urgently deploy professional counsellors. By giving voice to the disadvantaged rural learner suicide epidemic firsthand, this study seeks actionable strategies to stem the tragedy of learners’ suicide and promote the well-being of Zimbabwean rural learners.

Padang City Market is one of the shopping centres in Padang City, which is located in the West Padang District. The shopping centre presents a place for people to buy kitchen supplies or basic daily needs. This makes the area quite attractive for community travel. This research was conducted on 400 respondents who visited Padang City Market. In this study, the choice of mode is represented by the Y variable and is categorized into private vehicles, public transportation, rental vehicles, walking, and others. The travel time variable represents X1. The variable price of goods represents X2. This study aims to assess the level of correlation between the choice of mode (Y) on the variable travel time (X1) and the variable price of goods (X2). Furthermore, the mode selection (Y) was modeled based on the variables X1 and X2 using linear regression analysis with SPSS tools. The results of the analysis show a strong relationship between the Y variable and the X1 and X2 variables. The best linear regression model produced is Y = 0,010 + 0,76X1 + 0,029X2 with a value of R = 0,437. This means that the closer the travel time is and the lower the price of goods, the more the intensity of motorcycle mode selection to Pasar Raya Padang increases.
