Review Article: Evaluation and application of click reaction
Authors: Saeed Zainab Faiyq
Published: July 2024

Click chemistry has been frequently used in the past to speed up lead finding and optimization. In 2001, the term "click chemistry" was coined to describe chemistry designed to swiftly and consistently join tiny molecules to form compounds. Click chemistry, which involves incorporating two highly reactive compounds in a reliable manner without any by-products, is a valuable tool in many fields. One of the most common click reactions, CuAAC, is the azide-alkyne-catalyzed cyclic addition reaction commonly used by chemical biologists, materials science professionals, and polymer chemists. The reaction of CuAAC combines an azide with an alkene to produce a triazole that binds two different molecular entities. The uses of click chemistry in drug discovery have been the subject of this review

Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Khawwam , Salman Salah Awad , Abdulhammed Omar Younis
Published: July 2024

Cloud computing provides an easy and flexible accessibility of resources on the Internet. In this case the clients can use the available resources as they need without upgrading their own hardware.   Thus, load balancing is considered as one of the most challenging issues related to the cloud computing where multiple tasks (processes) must be run simultaneously on the processing elements. There are different algorithms used for the task’s allocation on those elements. The tasks can be distributed according to different schemes. Some algorithms suggest prioritizing the tasks while some others distribute the balance according to the length of the task. However, there is a large number of the load balancing methods that depends on the Artificial Intelligence techniques. Specifically, the utilization of the meta-heuristic algorithms for the task’s distribution on the virtual machines. The aim of these algorithms is to enhance the cloud system productivity by looking for the optimal distribution of those tasks on the virtual machines. There is a large number of methodologies that is worthy to review and investigate in terms of their efficiency, performance and productivity. The main aim of this work is to make a comprehensive literature review paper that discuss the advancement of this area through the years. The advantages and disadvantages of those methods are investigated in order to highlight the gaps and try to suggest some solutions in future. In addition, the classification is conducted on basis of the parameter coefficients. Besides, a full analysis has been made for the compared methods. The futuristic aspects of the utilization of the currently used load balancing algorithms has also been highlighted.

Authors: Paolo Paolo ,   Technical University of Cotopaxi, Ecuador
Published: July 2024

In the current context of accelerated urbanization and the urgent need for sustainability, urban agriculture has become a vital alternative to guarantee food security and ecological management of cities. This study addresses possible soil organic transformations in these systems using Treesoft Set and neutrosophic sets. Treesoft Set, an advanced tool for complex data analysis, is complemented by neutrosophic set theory, which allows you to manage the uncertainty inherent in natural and human systems. Together, these methodologies provide a more complete and detailed view of how urban land can adapt and improve under sustainable agricultural practices, highlighting the importance of integrating technology and ecology in the design of green cities. The analysis carried out not only unravels the dynamics of soil organic transformations, but also highlights the variability and complex interactions that occur in urban environments. Research shows that, through the application of Treesoft Set and neutrosophic sets, it is possible to identify patterns and trends that would otherwise go unnoticed. Additionally, it highlights how these tools can influence decision-making to optimize land use and encourage agricultural practices that improve the health of the urban ecosystem. This innovative approach opens new avenues for research and development of urban agriculture, promoting more resilient and efficient systems in the management of natural resources in an increasingly urbanized world.

Authors: Hamza Alasbily  , Sana Abdalrahman
Published: July 2024

Low vitamin D levels are common in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Although a link between vitamin D status and glycemic control is suggested, the direct association with poor control is unclear. This study assessed the prevalence of low vitamin D (deficiency and insufficiency) and its relationship with HbA1c in youth with type 1 diabetes. A cross-sectional study at Benghazi Medical Center, Libya, from June to September 2018 included 63 patients (33 females, 30 males), aged 6-18 years. Data on socio-demographics, HbA1c, and vitamin D levels were collected. Vitamin D levels were categorized as deficient (<10 ng/ml), insufficient (10-19 ng/ml), or sufficient (≥20 ng/ml). Glycemic control was classified as good (HbA1c ≤ 7.5%), fair (7.6%-8.5%), or poor (≥8.6%). Analysis using SPSS version 18 showed patients had a mean age of 12 years (±3.9), BMI of 19.18 kg/m² (±3.70), diabetes duration of 4.90 years (±3.03), average HbA1c of 10.10% (±2.5), and mean vitamin D level of 17.70 ng/ml (±10.8). Deficient vitamin D was found in 27% of patients, with 36.5% insufficient and 36.5% sufficient. A weak negative correlation (r= -0.112, p=0.38) was observed between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and HbA1c. Low vitamin D levels, including deficiency and insufficiency, were prevalent in youth with type 1 diabetes. However, vitamin D status did not significantly impact glycemic control in this study.
Henri Lefebvre's Social Space and Contents Activism for Cultural Regeneration
Authors: Choi Bogyung ,   Asia Cultural Creativity Inst.
Published: July 2024

Henri Lefevre took a sociological look at the traditional concept of space. In his book, The Production of Space, Lefevre did not see space as a physical place. Instead, he saw it as a social product under the concept of social space, and focused on the interdynamic relationship between space and society. He saw space as a product with a totality, not just a product of nature or a simple phenomenon of culture, but a product that refers to a set of relationships, a product that intervenes in production through interactions and reactions. He saw space as capable of connecting the social, cultural, spiritual, and historical. The space targeted in cultural regeneration is an idle space, and it is a space where social activities can no longer be carried out according to its purpose, and by incorporating the method of regeneration into it, it is connected to overcome spatial alienation and emphasize differences through creative development so that its existence can be recognized. Space is a social product, and community. Cultural regeneration is not just about building infrastructure or applying various contents that utilize space, but it is a process of forming a web of meaningful relationships with the people who share their daily lives there. Community cultural regeneration is sustainable when it creates a sense of place and engages local people in direct action throughout the entire process of strategy and practice, and when it includes motivation to continue working together. In order to be successful, local cultural regeneration in social spaces needs to be actively and sustainably organized around contents. Contents activism, a process in which everyone involved in a place participates in the process of creating new value around content and leads to greater cooperation, can create the most important value that can increase the sustainability of local cultural regeneration.

Authors: Crawford Kimberly , Saltzman Ryan , Ellingson Josh , Thomas Paul , Rademacher Chris , Karriker Locke
Published: July 2024

Objective: To conduct a pilot study, under noncommercial conditions, to assess the potential efficacy of ivermectin administered subcutaneously to pigs following a porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) 1-4-4 L1C challenge. Materials and methods: A total of 50 feeder pigs were enrolled and allocated into 2 groups. On day 0, all pigs were challenged with PRRSV 1-4-4 L1C. Animals in group 1 received an ivermectin dose of approximately 500 µg/kg administered subcutaneously at 1 and 3 days post challenge (DPC). Group 2 animals remained untreated. Serum was collected from each animal on DPC 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 14 and tested individually to assess PRRSV viremia levels via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). On DPC 14, pigs were weighed, euthanized, necropsied, and lungs were scored for lung lesions. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed on each set of lungs and the corresponding level of viremia was measured via qPCR. Any animal that died prior to necropsy was weighed, received a lung score, and BAL collected. Results: There was no significant difference in viremia levels between treatment groups. There was a trend toward significance between treatment groups in lung lesion scores with the ivermectin-treated pigs exhibiting less lung pathology compared to the control group (P = .05). Implications: Ivermectin administered to pigs post virulent PRRS 1-4-4 L1C challenge did not reduce the level of viremia in serum or BAL fluid but may have reduced lung lesions.

Published: July 2024

This study was conducted to analyze the Business Competition Supervisory Commission's consideration of re-tendering as a vertical conspiracy, as well as to examine arrangements for the application of re-tendering that provide legal certainty for project owners and tender participants. This research uses qualitative normative methods involving steps such as statutory studies, case studies, and conceptual approaches. This research uses a statutory approach to examine related regulations, a case approach to analyze decisions related to tender conspiracy, and a conceptual approach to understand relevant legal ideas and concepts. The results showed that the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) concluded that there was a tender conspiracy in the process of canceling and re-running the tender by PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda). Where PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) is a company officially assigned by the Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta to plan, build, manage, and maintain the Jakarta Arts Center Taman Ismail Marzuki. The Commission Panel found that the Reported Party I, which canceled the tender without a valid reason and could not be accounted for, deliberately did so to facilitate the Reported Party II and the Reported Party III to win the tender. Changes in the assessment procedures, especially in the experience aspect of the technical assessment, proved the intent of the Procurement Team to increase the technical scores of the Reported Party II and the Reported Party III. Thus, it confirms the role of KPPU in prohibiting vertical conspiracy and re-tendering in the practice of goods and services procurement, which provides legal certainty for project owners and tender participants

According to research, the work environment and transformational leadership improve employee performance, with or without the mediating influence of job satisfaction. It can be seen from the test results that the work environment influences the level of job satisfaction (p < 0.05, t > 3.005), transformational leadership influences job satisfaction (p < 0.001, t > 3.224), the work environment influences employee performance (p < 0.017, t > 2.386), and transformational leadership influences employee performance (p < 0.000, t > 18.026). A supportive work environment, transformational leadership, and employee performance are positively related to job satisfaction, mediating these three aspects, as seen from job satisfaction mediating the relationship between the work environment and employee performance (p < 0.000, t > 4.603). Also, job satisfaction mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and employee performance (p < 0.003, t > 2.922). This shows that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between the company's work environment, transformational leadership, and employee performance. We expect future research to expand our examination to include other public and private sector factors influencing employee performance and job satisfaction.

Published: July 2024

Conflict resolution in the context of industrial relations within the framework of labor law after the enactment of Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement has been known through two mechanisms, namely voluntary settlement through bipartite mechanisms, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration, as well as compulsory settlement mechanisms through the Industrial Relations Court. However, the existence of the Industrial Relations Court poses several challenges, including workers' low understanding of the formal and material aspects of labor law, protracted processes, and substantial deficiencies in applicable law. Issues that arise around the resolution of industrial relations disputes include various factors, ranging from disputes regarding rights, interests, termination of employment, to disputes between unions in a company. In addition, the limited competence of the Industrial Relations Court also hinders effective resolution of labor disputes. This research adopts a normative juridical approach, which relies on positive legal analysis, especially Law Number 2 of 2004, as well as a review of judicial principles. The research findings identified a number of weaknesses, both in terms of structure and legal substance, that require updates in Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution in the Industrial Relations Court. One of the efforts to overcome these challenges is through reforms in the settlement process at the Industrial Relations Court, including the establishment of Industrial Relations Courts in each administrative region. However, Law Number 2 of 2004 is still considered unable to accommodate judicial principles

Authors: A Ira Fadilla Rohmadanti  , Prija Djatmika  , Yuliati Yuliati
Published: July 2024

The application to the Constitutional Court with the Constitutional Court decision number 77/PUU-XII/2014 was based on the dissinting opinion of Hakum Alecander Mawarta in the TPPU case of the Central Jakarta District Court with Case Number 10.Pid.Sus-TPK/2014/PN.JKT.PST. Based on this judicial review, the Constitutional Court stated that the existence of Article 69 in Law No. 8/2010, which states that law enforcement officials are allowed to investigate, investigate and examine ML/TF cases without proving the original crime, is questionable because it is not in accordance with the characteristics of ML/TF as a continuation of the original crime. Thus, there are juridical implications that will occur related to the prevention of ML, among others: potential acquittal of the defendant; violation of the principle of presumption of innocence, contrary to the concept of proof adopted in Indonesia and so forth. Of course, in this research, the author will reconstruct the placement of the Money Laundering Crime as Independent Crimes along with its legal implications in practice. This is because the placement of the Money Laundering Crime as Independent Crimes has given legal consequences to the legal system adopted in Indonesia, one of which is the Presumption of Innocence. This research is a descriptive analytical literature research using juridical-normative approach and qualitative deductive method. In doing so, it is concluded that the development of ML has experienced increasingly complex developments and legal breakthroughs that place ML as a stand-alone criminal offence.

Published: July 2024

Praktik al-‘uqud al-murakkabah masih menjadi polemik (perdebatan) di kalangan ulama, di sisi lain produk dan layanan perbankan syariah dengan penerapan akad tunggal sudah tidak mampu merespons kebutuhan transaksi keuangan modern yang kompleks. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, diterapkannya produk tabungan rencana di BSI Kantor Cabang Medan dalam perspektif al-‘uqud al-murakkabah dikarenakan adanya sistem autodebet yang fungsinya sebagai sarana pendebetan antara dua rekening tabungan, pertama sebagai rekening induk dan kedua sebagai rekening penampung. Produk tabungan rencana tersebut menggunakan akad mudharabah yang dananya tidak dapat ditarik sebelum jatuh tempo dan dana itu akan dikembangkan sehingga terdapat bagi hasilnya. Sedangkan dana di rekening induk yang berakad wadi’ah digunakan sebagai pendebetan ke rekening tabungan rencana yang besaran dan waktunya disepakati. Dalam perspektif al-‘uqud al-murakkabah penerapan akad wadi’ah-mudharabah pada tabungan rencana di BSI secara umum telah mengacu standar syariah Fatwa DSN-MUI No. 02/DSN-MUI/IV/2000 tentang Tabungan. Adapun produk tabungan rencana di BSI ini memiliki karakteristik yaitu adanya fasilitas perlindungan asuransi jiwa. Selain itu sistem autodebet juga memudahkan penyetoran secara otomatis, artinya nasabah tidak perlu ke kantor bank, hal inilah yang mendasari penerapan tabungan rencana di bank BSI Kantor Cabang Medan menggunakan akad berganda atau disebut dengan istilah al-‘uqud al-murakkabah.
