Authors: Zafar Urooj , Zaidi Syeda Amber , Osama Jafri Hafiz Syed Muhammad , Imran Sana , Bhatty Afreen , Abidi Fizza 
Published: October 2021

Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that predominantly affects women of the reproductive age. Anovulation and abnormal uterine bleeding are caused by hyperprolactinemia, which affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
Aim: In this study, the efficacy of combined Probiotic and Metformin therapy on hyperprolactinemia levels in PCOS patients was compared to Metformin therapy alone.
Methodology: 102 participants having hyperprolactinemia were enrolled via convenient sampling technique between January 2019 to August 2019. Out of them women having Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and high serum prolactin levels were randomly assigned to one of two groups: group one received oral Metformin tablet 500 mg T.D. for three months, and group two received oral Metformin tablet 500 mg T.D and Probiotic capsule 180 mg O.D for three months. Serum prolactin levels in both groups were compared before and after treatment.
Results: 54 (53%) of the 102 hyperprolactinemia women had PCOS. The Combination group showed improvement in reduction in hyperprolactinemia levels after 12 weeks of intervention.
Conclusion: The addition of Probiotic to Metformin improved prolactin levels in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome with hyperprolactinemia more than Metformin alone.

Authors: Putra Yonas 
Published: October 2021

When we talk about bullying, the focus is usually about the victim and exploring how will the victim survive from that and how he overcomes that problem. However, the creative work that I make is different from the usual story. In my creative work, the point of view of story will be from a teenager who commits the bullying. In my story, it will talk about why my main character commits the bullying until he killed his classmate. He does not realize that he is manipulated by his friend and also his upper classmate called Max. The story will reveal why Ronald can become a bully in senior high. The main theme that is used in this work is how guilt changes a person’s personality and way of thinking. His desire to get acknowledgement when he enters senior high and does not want to repeat the same experience in junior high makes him become a bully in senior high. The story is presented through the genre of psychology and focuses on bullying and story behind it. Keywords: bullying, bully-victim, frenemy, Difficult home life, crime.

The Factor of Main Characters’ Consumer Behavior in Toy Story and Toy Story 2
Authors: Adhitama Louis 
Published: October 2021

This thesis aims to know why the main characters of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 do excessive consumption on toys. Therefore, I will use the theory of consumer behavior to be applied on Andy, Sid, and Al as the consumers of toys. From this theory, I want to show that consumer behavior can be seen from internal and external traits. The internal trait means the consumer behavior is influenced by the inner side of consumers. On the other hand, the external trait means the consumer behavior is triggered by the outside factor of consumers’ surroundings. I connected the analysis with consumer behavior theory by discussing the factors which have internal and external traits that cause the main characters to have consumer behavior. In the end, it can be concluded from Toy Story (1995), and Toy Story 2 (1999) that consumer behavior can influence children or adult for doing excessive consumption as the consumers of toys.

Published: October 2021

This creative work is about the cinematography report from the screenplay meal for two by Satrio Haryanto. The story tells about two neighbors, a man and a woman, who lives next door but they do not know about each other personally. The woman realizes that the man attracted to her but she prefers to keep her distance, but after sometime, they get together since both shares the same secret. This creative work aims to portray the mood in order to create suspense, distance and closeness and to show the man’s paraphilia, the man’s curiosity, and the woman’s introversion. An in-depth analysis will be further developed to portray the mood. In order to support those elements, there are several techniques used such as low-key lighting, framing. These techniques are to help the cinematographer to convey the drama suspense genre. In addition, a detailed analysis will further explain different uses of camera work, lighting, and color in building the characterization in the whole movie. As a result, my work as a cinematographer will explain on how the mood and characterization on this film fits with the drama suspense genre.

Authors: Levira Allensia Sarah 
Published: October 2021

This study examine the causes and the after effects of cannibalism that the survivors of Essex commit in Ron Howard’s In The Heart of the Sea. The main theory for this study is the theory of human’s life and death instinct by Sigmund Freud and also the theory of survival cannibalism. In collecting the materials of the analysis, the researcher examine the details of the films multiple times to get the footage which later used as proofs to reveals the causes and effects of cannibalism. The findings showed that the unfulfilled basic needs and anxiety are the major causes of cannibalism and also that the guilty feeling and fear of people are the aftermath effects of cannibalism. This shows that the act of consuming human flesh affects their lives throughout their lives until they died of old age. As a result, cannibalism had a big impact, both negative and positive, on the survivors’ lives. Keywords: Cannibalism, Human Instinct, Survival, Anxiety

Authors: Pranata Birgitta Eifelia Panggaraan 
Published: October 2021

In indirect advertising, an advertisement does not boldly show the products on the video. The object of the study in this thesis is a video advertisement of a clothing line, H&M, consisting a story about a family in the holiday season. This thesis aims to show that commercials of H&M “A Magical Holiday” uses multimodality in order to attract the audience through six modes: linguistic, audio, spatial, oral, visual, and gestural modes. In this study, I analyzed the modes by Multimodal Discourse Analysis by Kress and Leeuwen onto the six modes to analyze the advertisement, using the study by Chan and Chia on modes in multimodality. This research is using qualitative analysis by Schreier (2012) since it deals with the connection between all the semiotic modes to bring the message of the advertisement. I analyzed the data by putting the scenes into 6 tables based on the modes. After that, I analyzed the interrelation between each modes. Based on the analysis, the modes helped the advertisers to convey the real message of the video. Beyond the moral message of the story, the advertisement is a marketing tool to promote their products. Key Words: indirect advertising, multimodal discourse analysis, semiotic modes, H&M

Ayola La Lisa is a a 3.5 star hotel which is located at Nginden street no 82. This hotel has 121 rooms, 4 meeting rooms, a pool, a restaurant, a coffee shop, and etc. Moreover, this hotel has more spacious rooms than its rivals and one meeting room that can accommodate up to 200 people. The main problem that La Lisa currenly facing is the potential customers did not give positive feedback while the sales team offered the products. Most importantly, this promotional tool failed to project La Lisa uniqueness. Because of this problem, La lisa could not get the attention from as potential customers mostly from all over Surabaya such as government officers. Therefore, the solution of the problem is to make a promotional video. With this video, the potential customers will be more interested when they see motion pictures highlighting the unique selling points, rarther than just a brochure. The unique selling points that will be highlighthed is to focus on the private meeting room and its other supporting facilities such as the lunch, the rooms, and the ambience. By having this video, the sales and marketing team will be easier to promote the hotel more effectively to its potential customers.

Mother’s Expressions of Love and the Existing Consequences in Malaikat Juga Tahu and Tidur
Authors: Wijaya Nadia Anggie 
Published: October 2021

Short story is a type of popular literature in Indonesia. In short stories, love is one of the most well-known topics for the Indonesian audience. Amongst various types of love, a mother’s love is talked about the most. Thus, I decide to analyze how mothers express their love for their children in a compilation book titled Rectoverso. Also, I discover the consequences that the mothers experience due to their choices regarding love. By using the theory of love and the concept of motherly love from the book “The Art of Loving” by Erich Fromm, I find that the mothers have to face several choices that can give impacts toward their children and themselves. Every decision they make is caused by their love toward their children. Furthermore, the mothers prioritize their children instead of themselves. The impacts they experience may be positive or negative, depending on the situation. Keywords: short story, love, mothers, motherly love
New Wine in Old Bottles: Fully Substituted Arylthio Effect Realizes High‐Efficiency Purely Organic Phosphorescence Light‐Emitting Diode With Single and Ultra‐Stable Spectra Under 2000 cd m−2

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTOrganic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on purely organic room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials often encounter issues of relatively low efficiency and spectral instability. To overcome these limitations, three (arylthio)benzene derivatives (4S, 5S, and 6S) with gradually increased RTP component are designed and compared. Theoretical calculation and photophysical investigation reveal that the fully substituted arylthio effect could enhance the aggregation‐induced phosphorescence, enlarge the spin orbital coupling, and reduce the energy gap between S1 and T1 as much as possible. As a result, 6S can exhibit single spectra in films with a high phosphorescence efficiency of up to 76.7%, and its doped RTP‐OLED furnishes a high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 15.3% and ultra‐stable spectra with the brightness raised from 30 to 2000 cd m−2. Furthermore, serving 6S as the sensitizer, the RTP‐sensitized‐fluorescent OLEDs based on fluorescence dopant TBRb and multiple resonance type dopant BN3 both show near three times improvement in electroluminescence performance, with EQE values of 11.3% and 25.6%, respectively. These results demonstrate the feasibility of fully substituted arylthio effect in designing RTP materials and could advance the development of high‐performance RTP OLEDs.

Published: December 2024

ObjectiveRemote identification of individuals with severe hyposmia may enable scalable recruitment of participants with underlying alpha‐synuclein aggregation. We evaluated the performance of a staged screening paradigm using remote smell testing to enrich for abnormal dopamine transporter single‐photon emission computed tomography imaging (DAT‐SPECT) and alpha‐synuclein aggregation.MethodsThe Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) recruited participants for the prodromal cohort who were 60‐years and older without a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Participants were invited to complete a University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) independently through an online portal. Hyposmic participants were invited to complete DAT‐SPECT, which determined eligibility for enrollment in longitudinal assessments and further biomarker evaluation including cerebrospinal fluid alpha‐synuclein seed amplification assay (aSynSAA).ResultsAs of January 29, 2024, 49,843 participants were sent an UPSIT and 31,293 (63%) completed it. Of UPSIT completers, 8,301 (27%) scored <15th percentile. Of 1,546 who completed DAT‐SPECT, 1,060 (69%) had DAT‐SPECT binding <100% expected for age and sex. Participants with an UPSIT <10th percentile (n = 1,221) had greater likelihood of low DAT‐SPECT binding compared to participants with an UPSIT in the 10th to 15th percentile (odds ratio, 3.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.85–4.91). Overall, 55% (198/363) of cases with UPSIT <15th percentile and DAT‐SPECT <100% had positive aSynSAA, which increased to 70% (182/260) when selecting for more severe hyposmia (UPSIT <10th percentile).InterpretationRemote screening for hyposmia and reduced DAT‐SPECT binding identifies participants with a high proportion positive aSynSAA. Longitudinal data will be essential to define progression patterns in these individuals to ultimately inform recruitment into disease modification clinical trials. ANN NEUROL 2024

AbstractTo realize the aim of easy and accurate detection of ammonia and picric acid (PA) in both aqueous and vapor phases based on function‐oriented investigation principles, in the present study, we include a luminescent performance with recognition performance, taking into account the application conditions. Zn(II) ions with luminescence qualities and an amine‐substituted imidazole moiety with selective recognition properties towards picric acid and ammonia are coupled to generate a novel 1D luminous Zn(II) coordination polymer, Zn‐CP [{Zn(II)( 2‐ABZ)2(2‐BDC)}].MeOH]∞, where 2‐ABZ and 2‐BDC stand for terephthalic acid and protonated 2 aminobenzimidazole, respectively. Tests for luminescence recognition demonstrate that Zn‐CP has potent selectivity, and strong sensitivity to ammonia and PA in both media. In both detection processes, the limit of detection (LOD) values are determined to be 40 nm. Spectroscopic and DFT studies reveal that the detection of Trinitrophenol (TNP) primarily involves a synergistic mechanism of Photoinduced Electron Transfer (PET), Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET), and Charge Transfer (CT). In contrast, the detection of ammonia (NH3) vapor is predominantly driven by hydrogen bonding (H‐bonding) formation. The constructed 1D luminous Zn‐CP is a new material that guides the development of novel luminous sensors in the future.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThis work integrates taphonomic (archaeofaunistics and bioarchaeology) and geoarchaeological (geormorphology, pedologic, sedimentological and micromorphological analyses) information to discuss the depositional and postdepositional history of both surface and buried archaeological record related to past hunter–gatherer populations from the Central Pampean Dunefields of Argentina (South America). Radiocarbon and optically stimulated luminescence dating suggest three temporal clusters of occupations in the Laguna Chica locality: one during the middle Holocene (~8050–6535 years cal. B.P.) and two in the late Holocene (~3350–2870 and ~1640–1535 years cal. B.P.). Middle Holocene burials found at the present lake shore are hosted in aeolian sediments that accumulated under arid/semiarid conditions. Modern lacustrine dynamics derived from contraction/expansion cycles have exposed burials, archaeofauna, and stone tools, resulting in displacements, fragmentation and loss. A palimpsest of cultural and natural material spanning ~8000 years resulted from this paleoenvironmental setting. Late Holocene human activities might have been related to a transitional landscape, where aeolian processes took place under an expanding lacustrine scenario (i.e., relatively wetter conditions). Our stratigraphic assessment suggests that human occupations were syndepositional agents with episodes of aeolian sand activity and landscape stability. The taphonomic and geoarchaeological evidence from Laguna Chica locality show that the empirical evidence traditionally used to evaluate hunter–gatherer settlement patterns (e.g., abundance and diversity of archaeological evidence and their spatial association in surface or stratigraphic units) and human diet breadth changes (e.g., Ntaxa) may simply reflect the cumulative action of lacustrine erosion of dunes. While both the Laguna Chica surface and stratigraphic records have complex formation histories, the buried context could be interpreted with greater detail through taphonomic and sedimentological analyses.
