Authors: Muhammad Fauzan  , Sulmartiwi Laksmi , Saputra Eka
Published: September 2022

Pedada (Sonneratia caseolaris) are plants that live in the mangrove ecosystem. The fruit of the pedada plant is round, has stemmed tip, base is wrapped by petal, non-toxic and edible. The flesh of the pedada fruit is used as syrup, but the peel is considered as waste. On the other hand, pedada fruit peel contains antioxidant activity compound, such as phenol, tannin, and flavonoid. A way to process the pedada fruit skin into a functional drink is required so that it has economic value. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different brewing temperatures and duration on the antioxidant activity of pedada (Sonneratia caseolaris) peels extract. The research method used was experimental with Factorial Completely Randomized Design (CRD) as the experimental design. The factors used are temperature (70○C, 85○C, and 100○C) and time (5, 10, and 15 minutes) with 3 replications. The main parameter observed was the extract’s antioxidant activity. Supporting parameters observed were water content, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity of pedada fruit peel. Data analysis used was Two Way Analysis of Variance (Anova) and followed by Honest Significantly Difference (HSD) by 5%.The results showed that the increase in temperature and duration increased the antioxidant activity of the pedada fruit peel extract. The best treatment was obtained by 100○C treatment for 10 minutes which was not significantly different from 100○C treatment for 5 minutes and 85○C for 15 minutes. In addition, there was an increase in antioxidant activity of 12,10% from the best treatment compared to the control treatment.

Published: September 2022

The use of seaweed (Eucheuma spinosum) as a source of bioactive ingredients from algae has not been widely carried out, even though it has secondary metabolites that are thought to have antibacterial activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the inhibitory activity of the crude extract of red algae E. spinosum on the growth of Staphyloccus epidermidis bacteria in vitro. The working method used is an experimental and qualitative research design. Extraction of E. spinosum used maceration with 96% ethanol solvent and evaporated using a rotary evaporator to obtain a crude extract yield of 1.54%. The phytochemical screening test used thin layer chromatography and precipitation tests. The results of phytochemical screening showed that crude extract of Eucheuma spinosum contained alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids and saponins. These compounds are thought to have the potential to have antibacterial activity. The antibacterial test was based on a comparative study of the literature using the disc diffusion method (Kirby-Bauer test) with a positive control of Clindamycin 10μl/ml and a negative control of distilled water. Comparison of the literature on the results of the antibacterial activity test is thought to be effective for treating acne-causing bacteria, namely Staphylococcus epidermidis with an average inhibition of 26.5 mm (30 μl). The antibacterial activity is because seaweed contains secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, and saponins. The need for herbal therapy to treat diseases caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis bacteria to reduce bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

Extended characterization of the indoor dust chemical composition by retrospective suspect and non-target analysis of high resolution mass spectrometric data
Authors: Dubocq Florian , Wang Thanh
Published: September 2022

With the recent improvements in high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), retrospective chemical analysis has been increasingly used in environmental sciences. This enables new insights into the chemical content of previously analysed samples with new data analysis methods or new information about emerging contaminants. This study aimed to conduct an in-depth investigation into the chemical content of various indoor dust samples using retrospective analysis. The samples were previously extracted using liquid-solid extraction without clean-up to increase the chemical coverage and thereafter analysed both using liquid chromatography (positive and negative ionisations) and gas chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry. A retrospective data processing workflow was conducted in this new study by using both suspect screening analysis and non-target analysis. Among 30 dust samples from four different indoor settings, 298 compounds were tentatively identified with an identification confidence level of ≥ 3. The discussion was conducted on both individual compounds as well as their chemical compound groups and functional uses. Main detected chemical groups were plant natural products (n = 57), personal care products (n = 44), pharmaceuticals (n = 44), food additives (n = 43), plasticisers (n = 43), flame retardants (n = 43), colourants (n = 42) and pesticides (n = 31). Although some detected compounds were already reported for the same samples in our previous study, this retrospective analysis enabled the tentative identification of compounds such as polyethylene glycols, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, pesticides, benzotriazoles, benzothiazoles, fragrances, colourants and UV stabilizers. This study showed the usefulness of retrospective analysis on indoor dust samples to further characterise the chemical content, which can help to better estimate the exposure risks of organic contaminants to humans in the indoor environment.
The Parliament about the Clouds: Motivational Factors of Metaforic Hybrids
Authors: Virág Ágnes
Published: September 2022

One of the most known visual metaphors is hybrid (Forceville 2002), a conceptual process in which the visual target and the visual source domains are integrated into one entity providing a high potential of incongruency (e.g., a cat with elephant ears). Previous research mostly focused on hybrids in isolation and studied their physical features as potential motivational factors behind them. The present paper aims to systematically investigate the hybrids with their motivational factors in discourse and provides a solution to the conceptual collaborations including a metaphoric hybrid. As a main result of the study, analogous priming is hypothesized as a potential motivating factor in hybrids meaning that more conceptual metaphors are construed at the same time out of which at least one is a metaphoric hybrid. It can appear in two ways: (1) when the metaphoric hybrid is intertwined with another conceptual metaphor different from the hybrid, or (2) when the target domain (being part of the hybrid) is shown by two or more sources.
A trianoni trauma mint a magyar csoport választott traumájának kutatása a politikai napilapokban 1920-2010
Authors: Ilg Barbara
Published: September 2022

A tanulmány a trianoni békekötés médiareprezentációját mutatja be 1920-ban, hat politikai napilap újságcikkein keresztül, a választott trauma koncepciójának tükrében. Korábban 1920 és 2010 közötti, a trianoni traumáról szóló újságcikkeket vizsgáltam. A kilencven év szövegeit magába foglaló szövegkorpuszt egy pozitív cél felé haladó, emelkedő narratívának tekintettem, amelynek szakaszai párhuzamba állíthatók a választott trauma tüneti és gyógyulási szakaszaival. Az egyes szakaszok végpontjain a trauma kódjainak megfelelő narratívumok rajzolódtak ki: a kiváltó esemény bekövetkezésekor egy katasztrófa narratíva, a tagadás szakaszában egy tagadás narratíva, a projekció szakaszában egy bűnbak narratíva. A narratívumok mintázatának és a trauma feldolgozás aktuális állapotainak feltárására egy több részből álló narratív pszichológiai tartalomelemzést dolgoztam ki, amelyet az 1920-as szövegkorpuszra alkalmazva ismertetek.
A demokrácia szociálpszichológiája
Authors: Zsolt Péter
Published: September 2022

A demokrácia feltétele a felvilágosodás alapjainak elfogadása, a racionális tudati szint. A társadalomban az állampolgároknak fontosabbnak kell tartaniuk az erőnél az igazságosságot és hinniük kell a racionális érvek harcában. Amikor a demokráciát a szociálpszichológia tudománya segítségével vizsgáljuk, ki kell egészítenünk a nép szocializáltságát és tudati szintjét az intézményekkel és a döntésbefolyásoló elit működésével. Az intézmények szerveződési színvonala alrendszerré válásuk és autonómiájuk segítségével írható le, az elit kapcsán pedig legfontosabb, hogy mi a vezető politikai színvonal, milyen céljaik vannak a politikusoknak saját hatalmuk megtartásán kívül. Így kapunk egy komplex modellt, melyet a demokrácia szociálpszichológiai modelljének nevezünk.

The Ethical Turn of Aesthetics: Jacques Rancière's Critique of Jean-François Lyotard
Authors: AYAS ÖNOL Tuğba
Published: September 2022

Jacques Rancière contents that especially after 1990, Jean-François Lyotard caused a deviation in politics and art that can be expressed as an "ethical turn". According to him, Lyotard leads politics to an ethical turn by absolutizing dissensus as a wrong (tort) or disaster; and by reducing aesthetic experience to the status of sheer witnessing the unrepresentable he leads also arts to an ethical turn. The present article shall discuss only the ethical turn of aesthetics. From Rancière's point of view, the problem in the field of aesthetics and art today is that the political nature of the aesthetic field, which is essentially political and intellectual, has been reduced to ethics and on this occasion its political capacity has been taken away. Rancière explains the formula of this reduction, which he thinks Lyotard have applied, as combining aesthetic autonomy with Kantian moral autonomy through Kant's theory of sublime. This study shall address first Rancière’s claims and focus on how the aforementioned ethical turn in aesthetics and art took place and then in the last section shall try to evaluate the legitimacy of the allegations by also addressing the criticisms made against Rancière in particular for his criticism of Lyotard.
OCCUPATIONAL GENDER STEREOTYPES IN INDONESIAN SECONDARY SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEXTBOOKS
Authors: Sella Rohmawati  , Kristian Adi Putra
Published: September 2022

This discourse study examines occupational gender stereotypes in two textbooks of secondary English language textbooks published in Indonesia. Occupational gender stereotypes in two English textbooks, entitled When English Rings a Bell, for grades 7 and 8 were analyzed with the help of Kress and van Leeuwen (2006) framework. The findings indicate that both textbooks encompass gender stereotypes, particularly occupation. The findings also revealed far fewer photos of women in the public domain than there were of men, indicating that women in conventional gender roles such as cooking, cleaning, watering plants, caring for children, and performing all domestic activities were far more common. Furthermore, the study found that male occupations were more common and diverse than female occupations regarding occupational gender stereotypes. Furthermore, in terms of societal responsibilities, males were demonstrated to have a wider choice of vocations than girls. Gender blindness among curriculum designers and textbook authors is a severe worry in this regard, and it must be addressed to improve awareness of gender-related occupations. The study's practical implications are that English teachers, language textbook authors, curriculum creators, and illustrators should be fully aware of the interplay between language, visual depictions, and gender concerns while constructing language textbooks to avoid unwanted insights into occupational gender stereotypes.

Authors: Destriani Lisna
Published: September 2022

Community Language Learning (CLL) is one of the methods in teaching language which involves the roles of the teacher as a counselor and the learner as the client in the language classroom. This research describes the implementation of Community Language Learning (CLL ) by using Voice Memo in teaching speaking, and the benefits as well as the obstacles of implementing CLL by using Voice Memo in teaching speaking. This research was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Warungkondang,  the participants were 30 students and a teacher. The research used qualitative method which employed several techniques in collecting the data those are classroom observation, questionnaire, and interview. The finding shows that CLL could be implemented with some adjustments from the teacher, in this case the teacher implemented six stages, those were grouping and translating, recording, collecting and transcribing, listening and correcting, repeating, and tasking. The learning process in the classroom indicates that the teacher and students were equal, in other words, the teacher was not the center. There were many benefits of CLL including communicative and active activity, students have more self initiative and self confidence to use their own English, they were enthusiastic in class when they were using their phone as a tool in learning process. However the researcher found out several obstacles in CLL implementation in the clasroom such as classroom environment (e.g. noisy), students’ less interest in English, and lack of facilities to support CLL. The result of those finding indicates that CLL can be one of the alternative in teaching speaking, however the school needs to support facilities.

Fitase e Xilanase em dietas de frangos de corte
Authors: Ramos Batista Chaves N. , Ribeiro de Souza Nascimento K.M. , De Souza Teixeira C.K.
Published: September 2022

O moderno contexto no qual a nutrição de frangos de corte está inserido, possibilita a formulação de dietas contendo enzimas comerciais com objetivo de melhorar a metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes e o aproveitamento de alimentos de origem vegetal ao atuarem na quebra de fitatos e polissacarídeos não amiláceos (PNAs) solúveis e insolúveis. As enzimas atuantes nesses substratos, fitase e xilanase, respectivamente, não são produzidas ou possuem produção endógena insignificante pelas aves. Os efeitos da fitase e carboidrases sobre os fatores antinutricionais podem ser considerados de efeito aditivo, uma vez que a eficiência da fitase adicionada à dieta pode ser reduzida pelo acesso restrito ao substrato na presença de PNAs. Da mesma forma, a insuficiência da fitase poderia reduzir a ação das carboidrases em nutrientes que possam estar complexados à molécula de fitato. Dessa forma, a associação entre essas enzimas na alimentação de frangos de corte pode contribuir para aumentar a rentabilidade da produção e favorecer a redução dos custos pelo produtor ao proporcionar o mesmo desempenho em relação à aves alimentadas com uma dieta tradicional, bem como minimizar os impactos ambientais em função da melhor metabolizabilidade dos nutrientes das dietas. Dessa forma, essa revisão foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de abordar o uso da fitase e xilanase na dieta de frangos de corte.

Published: September 2022

This study examines the asymmetric effects of Exchange Rate Volatility (ERV) on Vietnam’s international trade. Using time-series data fitted to the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) model, we find that positive changes in ERV have a negative impact on the trade balance in the short-run. On the other hand,increases in ERV have a positive impact on the trade balance in the long-run. We also find that negative changes in ERV do not have any significant effect on the trade balance.

DOES INTERNATIONAL MONETARY POLICY INFLUENCE THE BANK RISK? EVIDENCE FROM INDIA
Authors: Shareef Ameen Omar , Prabheesh K.P.
Published: September 2022

This study empirically examines the impact of international monetary policy on bank risk in the Indian context. Using annual data from 64 banks and employing panel OLS and GMM techniques, this study finds that: (1) a contractionary international monetary policy increases bank risk; (2) an appreciation of the domestic exchange rate induces bank riskiness; (3) the domestic monetary policy affects bank risk through the “search for yield” channel; and (4) the international monetary policy is relatively significant in explaining the bank riskiness in the post-global financial crisis period.
CENTRAL BANK INDEPENDENCE AND PRICE STABILITY UNDER ALTERNATIVE POLITICAL REGIMES: A GLOBAL EVIDENCE
Authors: Salisu Afees , Udeaja Elias A. , Opuala-Charles Silva
Published: September 2022

In this paper, we explore the connection between Central Bank Independence (CBI) and inflation under alternative political regimes. We formulate a predictive model that accommodates CBI in the analysis of inflation and thereafter we regroup the countries based on the choice of political regimes as well as the level of development. We find that CBI has a statistically significant and negative effect on inflation in countries adopting full democratic and partial autocratic regimes; but are statistically insignificant in countries operating full autocratic and partial democratic regimes. The results leading to this conclusion are robust to different levels of development.
Unstable Pillar Failure under Soft Loading Condition
Authors: Dong Hangyu , Zhu Wancheng , Guan Kai , Liu Xige , Hou Chen
Published: September 2022

Pillar rockburst is an unstable pillar failure and one of the most hazardous problems in the underground mining engineering of deep hard-rock mines. In order to study the mechanism of unstable pillar failure, laboratory tests, numerical simulation, and theoretical analysis are adopted. The disc spring group was used to realize the soft loading function of testing machine, where loading stiffness of testing machine can be adjusted by changing the number and combination mode of disc springs. The results show that the loading stiffness of testing machine has major effect on the post-peak failure behavior of rock specimen, which means that the elastic rebound of disc spring group determines the unstable failure characteristics of rock specimen. The sudden jump Δd of rock specimen deformation and the elastic energy release ΔW of disc spring group all increase with the decreased loading stiffness of testing machine, resulting in more severe rock unstable failure (pillar rockburst). The soft loading condition has buffering and delaying effects on rock failure, but it increases the unstable failure intensity of rock specimen. The numerical simulation reproduced the rock unstable failure and the elastic rebound behavior of disc spring group, which also illustrated the damage evolution process of rock unstable failure. The necessary condition of rock unstable failure and the analytical solution of sudden jump Δd and elastic energy release ΔW were derived based on catastrophe theory, which further verified the experimental results. This study reveals the physical essence of unstable pillar failure, which may help to under the mechanism of pillar rockburst and provide references for underground mining.

Authors: Pham Thai Dinh , Le Chi Kien , Nguyen Thang Trung
Published: September 2022

This paper proposes a novel approach for determining optimal location and effective size of distributed generation units (DGUs) in the distribution systems. The goal of this study is to minimize both the total power loss on all distribution branches and the total cost of DGUs including investment cost, operation cost and maintenance cost. The major constraints of the systems regarding harmonic distortions, branch current and voltage must be kept within allowed operating limits. The proposed improved equilibrium optimizer (IEO) is developed from the original equilibrium optimizer (EO), which was motivated by control volume mass balance models. This novel algorithm can effectively expand the search area and avoid the premature convergence to low quality solution spaces. With the determined solutions from IEO, the total power loss is significantly reduced from 0.2110 MW to 0.0815 MW, 0.2245 MW to 0.0720 MW and 0.3161 MW to 0.1510 MW for IEEE 33-bus, IEEE 69-bus and IEEE 85-bus radial distribution systems, respectively. Not only that, the total cost of DGUs is also more economical and consumes only $7.0231 million, $6.6357 million and $6.2721 million corresponding to the three systems for a 20-year planning period. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to three other implemented methods consisting of artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm, Salp swarm algorithm (SSA) and EO, and eight previously published methods for the three test systems. The comparisons of results imply that IEO is better than other methods in terms of performance, stability and convergence characteristic.

Background: Swimming has become one of the favorite sports in Malaysian due to the health benefits, for essential skills. The public swimming pool is not only for an adult, but there are created for children as well.
Objective:This research aim is to assess the microbiological water quality and chlorine levels between adult and baby public swimming pools in Klang Valley.
Methodology: 21 water sample from public swimming pools, including hotel, apartment, and public swimming pool in Lembah Klang, Malaysia, was collected. The water samples were collected in sterile bottles (30 ml). Physicochemical parameters were determined using standard instruments and methods (rainbow model 78), and the colony was present using a heterotrophic plate count (HPC).
Result: The heterotrophic plate count shows that out of 21 swimming pools for adults and 21 swimming pools for babies, 19.1% did not follow the World Health Organization (WHO), HPC. Regarding the microbiological quality (mean colony count) between baby and adult pools, there were slight differences of 0.24%. The baby pool shows a higher value of colony count at 111±197.334 compared with the adult pool at 87.095±149.543. The independent t-test showed no significant difference, with a p-value of 0.65 (>0.05). For chlorine level, the baby pool showed 47.6% of swimming pools following standard chlorine level, and for an adult pool, 42.9 %. Comparing between two groups offer a higher value with chlorine at 1.581 ± 1.369 while adult pools at 1.414±1.293. The p-value for both, as analysed by an independent t-test, indicates 0.694 (>0.05); not significant.
Conclusion: The study recommends improvement in the personal hygiene of swimmers, adequate disinfection of the pools and enforcement of standards by the government.

Background: In Japan, pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) disease is highly prevalent. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Jiinshihoto (JST) for treating pulmonary MAC disease.
Methods: Twenty-four patients, not receiving standard treatment for pulmonary MAC disease, were enrolled in this study; of these, 21 patients (3 patients dropped out of the study) were eligible and selected to participate. They were administered JST (3.0 g; Tsumura Co., Tokyo, Japan) three times per day for 12 months. Their weight, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) score, NK cell activity, chest computed tomography (CT) results, blood sample results, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores were measured: (i) before JST administration, (ii) after 3 months, and (iii) at the end of the study.
Results: Before JST administration, the exacerbation group (n = 10 patients; 6 patients with worsened conditions at the end of the study and 4 patients who were switched to standard treatment during the study because of exacerbation) had a significantly low body mass index (BMI), mild depression, and high anxiety. The overall patient population showed no significant differences in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment score, body weight, or natural killer cell activity after 3 months of treatment; however, the SDS score improved significantly. At the end of treatment, the nutritional scores had worsened, but the SDS score improved significantly. Specifically, the SDS scores improved significantly only in the non-exacerbation group (n = 11 patients), and natural killer cell activity improved in the non-exacerbation group. Additionally, a comparison of the data of both groups before and after JST administration showed that the exacerbation group had significantly lower BMI and worse CT scores when using a BMI cutoff of 18.4 (sensitivity, 81.8%; specificity, 70%).
Conclusion: Patients with a high BMI and low CT score at the time of initial diagnosis may benefit from JST treatment, which may significantly improve depression and immunity and prevent disease progression. Therefore, JST may be an effective treatment in selected pulmonary MAC patients.

ZnTe has acquired a great interest due to its optoelectronic properties. It is essentially used in the detection of the terahertz (THZ) radiation. THZ radiation could soon replace the X-rays for applications in radiology and medical imaging referring to the advantage of being less energy and less ionizing than the latter. The objective of our work involves the study of the ground states and the excited states, particularly Rydberg states of ZnTe and determination of theirs properties (oscillator strength, energy…), which serves in studying electronic spectroscopy for such system. Calculations were carried out by means of several methods and bases gathered in the two softwares: ADF07 and G03.

In this study, we evaluated to reveal the effects of aqueous methanolic extract of celery (Apium graveolens) on the growth performance, immune responses and resistance against Vibrio anguillarum in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). For this purpose, twenty fish (initial mean weight of 4.80 ± 0.06 g) were placed into twelve tanks (400 L) in triplicate and fish were fed with control (C) and three different levels (0.01, 0.05 and 0.1 g/kg) of celery extract-containing diets (AG0.01, AG0.05 and AG0.1) for 30 days. Blood and tissue (kidney, spleen and intestine) samples were taken from the fish every ten days of the study to determine the immune responses of the fish. Respiratory burst activity (RBA) was significantly decreased in the AG0.1 group compared to all other groups on the 10th day of the study. No differences in the RBA were observed on the 20th day among groups. Significantly increased RBA was noticed on the 30th day of the experiment in AG0.01 and AG0.05 compared to C group. Lysozyme activity (LYS) was raised on the 10th day of the study in all celery groups compared to C group. Final mean weight (FMW) was not affected in any experimental groups (P > 0.05). However, in the AG0.05 group, specific growth rate (SGR) increased, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) decreased compared to other groups (P < 0.05). IL-1β in the kidney was highly elevated in the AG0.01 group on the 20th day of the study. Similar results were observed on IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α expression in the kidney. Anti-inflammatory responses (IL-10 and TGF-β) also increased in all experimental groups and tissues compared to C group. COX-2 was up-regulated on the 20th day of the study in all tissues. At the end of the feeding trial, the survival rate of the AG0.1 group in fish infected with Vibrio anguillarum infection was higher than the C group. Celery aqueous methanolic extract did not affect growth performance directly but increased innate immune responses and the high survival rate. These results demonstrate that celery extract could be used as an immunostimulant feed additive for European seabass at a feed dose of 0.05 g/kg and above.
