Authors: Shukran Khaled , Mohamad Nor Mohammad Nazri bin , Mustamil Norizah Binti
Published: July 2023

This concept paper extends research on knowledge transfer based on the network and resource base. It claims smart firms can accelerate their stock of strategic knowledge by employing an efficient socialization process and gaining competitive advantages. Nonetheless, exploiting the knowledge in the corporate network is not straightforward. The transition of substantial strategic resources within a business must be acquired and used efficiently. Using the socialization process thus significantly reduces the barriers to best practices or strategic knowledge transfer. This paper presents a theoretical model explaining acquiring knowledge through socialization. Nevertheless, this paper demonstrates that without socialization mechanisms, subsidiary-headquarters embeddedness could adversely affect.

Dynamics of The Sexual Violence Act Ratification Process: Urgency and Obstacles
Authors: Langit Jian Ayune Sundul , Chairiyah Srizul
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to analyze the dynamics of the Draft Law on Sexual Violence Act (UU TPKS). Judging from the emergency status of sexual violence in force, the TPKS policy law takes at least seven years to be formalized into a policy. Various obstacles during the process became an interesting dynamic to analyze, ranging from within the DPR itself, whose factions were divided into two camps and experienced tug-of-war, to the demonstrations of support or rejection from the public. Policy makers and stakeholders also have an important role in the realization of the ratification of this policy, in this paper several important institutions such as Komnas Perempuan as the initiator, then the DPR as a reviewing body and the Government which has the power of ratification. This paper also explains the chronology of the formation of this policy, such as the stages of preparation, planning, and discussion between the DPR and the government. The basis of writing this article in the form of secondary data with a literature study method that utilizes previous research, news portals and media articles. In conclusion, the author concludes that the ratification of this policy tends to be slow due to a lot of tug-of-war that occurs such as the transfer of discussions, delays, and even expulsion from the National Legislation Program. The substance of this bill is also misunderstood as containing pro-adultery and pro-LGBT elements which in the end received a rejection reaction from the community. The author can conclude that the length of this process is because the DPR itself is not gender sensitive by not sufficiently understanding the importance of the substance contained in it.

Authors: Aynaz Samir  , Moallemi Marym
Published: July 2023

The allusions are cultural terms and the translation of them in AVT is a difficult task for translators, especially in distant cultures such as English and Iranian. Because, the translators needed to be analyzed allusions according to the ıts type and the categorization to which they belong. The present study aimed to identify the allusions, in particular PNs and KPs, based on Leppihalme’s (1997) classification model in animated movies. It tried to investigate Iranian translators’ strategies for subtitling and dubbing the allusions in four animated movies including Mr. Peabody and Sherman (2014), Shrek 2 (2004), Rio (2011), and The Simpsons (2007) based on Leppihalme’s (1997) model and to determine the differences between the strategies used in the dubbing and subtitling of the allusions. For this purpose, the researcher adopted a quantitative method with a comparative descriptive approach. Then, the mentioned animated movies were examined to collect and classify allusive elements. After analysis, the results showed that there were found 60 allusions including 30 KP and 30 PN based on Leppihalme’s (1997) taxonomy. As well as, the findings of strategies analysis related to subtitling indicated that the Retention Name and Literal Translation were the first and second most frequent strategies with 38.3% and 36.7% respectively. While Omission was the least frequent strategy with 3.3%. Furthermore, the findings of strategies analysis related to dubbing illustrated that the Omission name was the first and most frequent with 21.7% while Recreation was the least frequent strategy with 1.7%. The findings of this study can provide a pedagogical implication for translation students so that they can recognize the translations of allusions with subtitling and dubbing strategies and can be utilized as a guideline for fans in the subtitling and dubbing industry.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: When authorship disputes arise in academic publishing, research institutions may be asked to investigate the circumstances. We evaluated the association between the prevalence of misattributed authorship and trust in the institution involved. Methods: We measured trust using a newly validated Opinion on the Institution’s Research and Publication Values (OIRPV) scale (range 1–4). Mayer and Davies’ Organizational Trust for Management Instrument served as control. Association between publication misconduct, gender, institution type, policies, and OIRPV-derived Trust Scores were evaluated. Results: A total of 197 responses were analyzed. Increased reporting of authorship misconduct, such as gift authorship, author displacement within the authors’ order on the byline, and ghost authorship, were associated with low Trust Scores (P<0.001). Respondents from institutions whose administration had made known (declared or published) their policy on authorship in academic publications awarded the highest Trust Scores (median 3.06, interquartile range 2.25 to 3.56). Only 17.8% favored their administration as the best authority to investigate authorship dispute honestly. Of those who did not list the administration as their preferred option for resolving disputes, 58.6% (95/162) provided a Trust Score <2.5, which conveys mistrust in the institution. Conclusions: Increased reporting of publication misconducts such as gift authorship, author displacement within the order of the authors’ byline, and ghost authorship was associated with lower Trust Scores in the research institutions. Institutions that made their policies known were awarded the highest Trust Scores. Our results question whether the research institutions’ administrations are the appropriate authority for clarifying author disputes in all cases.

Meir Dvorjetski was a Holocaust survivor, teacher, and historian. He is best remembered for his descriptions of the medicine practiced by the Nazis during World War II, as well as the diseases, disorders, syndromes, and deaths resulting from such practice—particularly, though not solely, on the Jewish race. Dvorjetski’s contributions to Holocaust research at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, his underground partisan work, his contributions to society, and his testimony at the Eichmann trial have all been well documented. However, his earlier years—including his survival of the Holocaust, and his less-known medical achievements and contributions to historical records regarding the Holocaust—have not been covered as thoroughly. These latter items are the focus of this paper, with a closing commentary on the relevance of his work for the 21st century.
Lysozyme promotes renal fibrosis through the JAK/STAT3 signal pathway in diabetic nephropathy
Authors: Ren Yan , Yu Mengjie , Zheng Danna , He Wenfeng , Jin Juan
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a leading cause of kidney failure. Lysozyme (LYZ) is an essential component of innate immunity and exhibits antibacterial properties. However, LYZ has been reported to induce nephropathy, implying a possible association between impaired renal function and lysozyme expression.

Material and methods

Bioinformatics analysis was used to predict the hub gene associated with DN, and the differential expression of the hub gene was confirmed using a mouse model. A mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic nephropathy was established to investigate the correlation between DN and LYZ expression, and the functionality of LYZ was verified through knockdown and overexpression experiments conducted in vivo. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was utilized to assess fibrosis-related markers and cytokines, while Masson staining was performed to assess renal fibrosis. Fibroblast proliferation was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The role of the JAK pathway was confirmed using the JAK inhibitor AG490, and Western blot was used to investigate the underlying mechanisms.

Results

Mechanistically, 25 mM glucose promotes the expression of LYZ in fibroblastic cells, and LYZ may in turn promote the proliferation of renal interstitial fibroblasts. Western blot shows that glucose can activate STAT3 in an LYZ-dependent manner, and the JAK inhibitor AG490 can partially suppress LYZ-induced STAT3 activation. Furthermore, in vivo observations have revealed that overexpression of LYZ is associated with the senescent phenotype of renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs).

Conclusions

Lysozyme promotes kidney fibrosis via the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway in diabetic nephropathy, and glucose may promote fibroblast proliferation by promoting LYZ auto-secretion.

Authors: Jefferson Jadir
Published: July 2023

This narrative review demonstrates the close connection between the impact of traumas experienced across generations, added to an environment of unpredictability during an organism’s life history. The effects of trauma can be passed on to subsequent generations through epigenetic mechanisms and changes in the stress response axis, sensitivity to glucocorticoid receptors, and cortisol release. When associated, they form a line of continuous cause and effect in the life history of the individuals involved and their future generations, favoring new environments of unpredictability and risks that lead to more adverse situations and traumas. Consequently, descendants and nearby people can be impacted by cascading effects related to existing difficulties in environments considered hostile or unpredictable.

Introduction: several studies report the contraction or retraction of facial tissues with the use of “High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound” (HIFU). However, there are no studies or clinical trials on the technical possibilities used in the application of technology to promote face lifting. Objective: to evaluate the clinical efficacy of a new technique for applying Reface Microfocused Ultrasound in the middle third of the face for face lifting. Material and method: the study involved a sample of n=05 patients aged between 30 and 65 years who were evaluated pre and postoperatively, with stereophotogrammetry and its analysis in the Vectra software that were treated with Reface Microfocused Ultrasound with 4.5mm transducers and 3.0mm with focal depths used with average amounts of 0.9 Joules and 0.7 Joules on average and respectively for different transducers used, with an identical positioning protocol, number of lines of application, sequence of application of lines and zones start and end of application. Results: the sample of n=05 (five) patients completed the study. A face-lift was obtained based on the evaluation carried out using the stereophotogrammetry method, which indicated vectors suggestive of tissue contraction and retraction and consequent face-lift in the patients involved in the study, which was maintained for the observation period of 5 months, which was promoted by the new application technique of Reface Microfocused Ultrasound. Conclusion: the quantitative data obtained by comparing before and after with Vectra system, demonstrated that this new technique of application of Ultrasound Microfocused Reface is an effective procedure to treat flaccidity and provide facial “lifting”.

Susu sapi perah adalah cairan yang berasal dari kambing sapi sehat, diperoleh dengan cara pemerahan yang benar, kandungan alami tidak dikurangi atau ditambah sesuatu apapun serta belum mendapatkan perlakuan apapun kecuali proses pendingan. Salah satu bakteri yang mengkontaminasi pada susu sapi adalah Staphylococcus aureus. Infeksi Staphylococcus aureus merupakan penyebab mastitis yang menimbulkan masalah kesehatan masyarakat karena susu yang berasal dari kelenjar yang terinfeksi memiliki gen enterotoksin dan dapat menyebabkan keracunan. Staphylococcus aureus mampu berkembang biak dan menyebar luas dalam tubuh dengan menghasilkan enzim koagulase sehingga bakteri ini berbahaya saat menginfeksi manusia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ada tidaknya bakteri Staphylococcus aureus pada susu sapi yang belum dan sudah diolah di Peternakan Asam Kumbang Medan. Jenis penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan sampel sebanyak 8 yang diperiksa sebelum dan sesudah diolah. Hasil yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini di dapat 2 positif sampel susu sebelum diolah terkontaminasi Staphylococcus aureus. Sedangkan sampel yang sudah diolah tidak terdapat kontaminasi Staphylococcus aureus

 

 

Milk dairy cow is a liquid derived from healthy cows, obtained by proper milking, natural content is not reduced or added anything and has not received any treatment except the cooling process. One of the bacteria that contaminates cow’s milk is Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus infection is a cause of mastitis that causes public health problems as it comes from infected glands possessing enterotoxin genes and can cause. Staphylococcus aureus is able to multiply and spread in the body by producing coagulase enzymes so these bacteria are harmful when infecting humans. This study aimed to determine the presence or absence of cow’s milk that has not been and has been processed in Asam Kumbang Medan. This type of research is descriptive with 8 samples that are examined before and after processing. Results obtained from this study in 2 positive samples of milk before treatment were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus. While the sample has been processed there is no contamination from Staphylococcus aureus.

Pengeboran sumur Migas sebagai kegiatan yang berisiko tinggi. Risiko yang paling besar yaitu terjadinya kebakaran, Ledakan dan  semburan liar (Blow Out). Akibat dampak potensi bahaya dan risiko yang tinggi (high risk) yang harus diminimalisasi melalui Risk Management  yang meliputi identifikasi bahaya, penilaian risiko, dan hirarkie pengendalian bahaya risiko. Sistem manajemen K3 yang baik tidak hanya melihat jenis bahaya, risikonya  dan  pengendalian saja, tetapi  membuat sistem atau aturan dan prosedur (SOP) yang tepat yang memungkinkan semua bahaya dan risiko di tempat kerja teridentifikasi dan pengendaliannya dilaksanakan secara berkelanjutan. Potensi bahaya didasarkan pada dampaknya terhadap pekerja seperti infrastruktur, peralatan dan material, baik yang disediakan perusahaan maupun pihak lain termasuk perubahan yang bersifat sementara dan berdampak terhadap operasi, proses, dan aktivitas kerja. Langkah-langkah identifikasi bahaya dan penilaian risiko di antaranya:(1) Kumpulkan semua informasi mengenai jenis bahaya yang ada di tempat kerja, (2)Lakukan inspeksi  rutin  secara langsung untuk menemukan potensi bahaya yang ada di dan potensi risiko di tempat kerja..(3). Lakukan identifikasi bahaya terhadap keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja  tindakan tidak aman (unsafe act) dan kondisi tidak aman (unsafe condition), seseorang kontak dengan faktor kimia (pelarut, perekat, cat, beracun ), faktor fisik (kebisingan, penerangan, getaran, iklim kerja), bahaya biologis (penyakit menular), dan faktor  ergonomi (gerakan berulang, postur canggung, angkat berat). (4). Kelompokkan sifat bahaya yang teridentifikasi, (5) tentukan langkah-langkah pengendalian sementara, dan tentukan prioritas bahaya yang perlu pengendalian secara permanen. tindakan pengendalian sementara untuk melindungi pekerja sampai program pencegahan dan pengendalian bahaya secara permanen dapat diimplementasikan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif menganalisis dengan menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, dengan menganalisis dengan menggunakan wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, identifikasi bahaya dan analisis risiko dengan metode Job Safety Analysis (JSA).

Online dating has changed the way people find dates from face-to-face to online meetings. Through internet media, the activity of exchanging personal information is a process of developing a relationship, before deciding to meet in person. One of the stages in the development of the relationship is self-disclosure (self-disclosure). Interpersonal relationships that continue to develop and build meaningful relationships can be done by studying the theory of social penetration. Altman and Taylor explain that social penetration is a pattern of developing a relationship. This study discusses the process of online dating users to build meaningful relationship patterns and develop into the self-disclosure side.
