Authors: Sari Rahma Pinta  , Pradila Andini Novalia , Achyar Afifatul 
Published: November 2023

DNA can be obtained from all parts of the body with the same profile in each person. The oral mucosal epithelium is one of the DNA sources that is often used for individual identification because of taking it using a swab method that does not hurt the volunteers. The purpose of this study was to determine DNA polymorphism in Biology students of Class of 2022. The sample used in this study were 49 people with details, 34 female and 15 male students. After cheek mucosa was sampling, the PCR and electrophoresis was performed to see the DNA bands formed. The visible band was measured in length and calculated using a formula to see the repeatability of the D1S80 locus on the DNA band. From the 49 samples which were collected, the DNA bands were seen in 27 samples with DNA band lengths ranging from 400-600 bp. The number of bands in each sample were also different. The highest frequency of locus repetitions was 26 repetitions and the lowest was 14 repetitions.
Electoral Parity or Protecting Minorities? Path Dependency and Consociational Districting in Nova Scotia
Authors: Bickerton Jim , Graham Glenn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract: This article contributes to the study of electoral districting and minority group representation in Canada, Nova Scotia politics, and path dependency theory, through an analysis of electoral boundary commissions in Nova Scotia and relevant electoral boundaries jurisprudence. The concept of ‘protected ridings’ for historical minorities in Nova Scotia – specifically, Acadians and African Canadians – was introduced by the first provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission in 1992. This approach, referred to here as ‘consociational districting’, ran counter to the trend in electoral redistribution and apportionment exercises toward reducing the extent of population variance between electoral districts. When the continued application of this approach was rejected in 2012, its legality and validity were restored following a successful court challenge by the province’s Acadian federation. An analysis of this case study informed by historical institutionalism explores how path dependency has been a significant factor in the de facto constitutionalization of consociational representation for two historical minorities in Nova Scotia. In effect, history and institutions matter in the politics of redistricting, especially insofar as it concerns minority representation.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The occurrence of variations in building construction contracts is a subject that needs some attention in public sector projects. They are, almost all the time, detrimental rather than beneficial variations. The paper aimed to identify the nature of variations in government-initiated building projects over fourteen years, from 2000 to 2014, in the Central Region and their impacts. Preliminary counts of documents revealed that a total of 348 projects were executed over the period. The data collection process started by first sorting out files, contract documents, and payment certificates for the period under consideration. These documents were scrutinised one after the other to detect possible variations. The inclusion criterion for selecting a project was if a project had any form of variation(s) recorded. After thoroughly examining these 348 project documents, 84 were found to have variations. The study identified additional works and substitutions as the most inherent variations in public building projects in the Central Region. About 85 % of the variations found in the 84 projects with various forms of variations were additional works and substitutions. It was revealed that the cost of multiple variations was higher than single variations. Projects with multiple variations had high percentage variation and durations than others. Percentage variation in some instances was 400 %. The study identified that multiple variations were more costly than single variations. The highest variation cost identified was (USD 211 864.41 or EUR 183 150.18) for one project. The study identified the nature of variations that usually occurred in government building projects and their association with both cost and time. The study asserts that the presence of multiple change orders has substantial financial significance and should be diligently avoided through efficient project initiation and planning.

Authors: Lupa Michał , Naziemiec Weronika , Adamek Katarzyna , Zawadzki Mateusz 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
One of the main priorities of emergency services is to minimize the response time to calls. In the process of proper allocation of emergency vehicles, maps of emergency vehicle accessibility are found to be helpful. These maps represent areas within which emergency services can reach the specified location within a certain time. Calculating travel times requires taking into account the rapidly changing current road conditions. This paper presents a method for dynamically generating maps of emergency vehicle accessibility, considering network models and irregular computational grids.
Microssatellite markers for plant variety protection of clonally propagated forest trees: a case study in teak (Tectona grandis L.f.)

Published: November 2023

Abstract
Forest trees cultivars developed by breeders have been increasingly deployed as clones, following long generations of breeding and testing. An established protocol for distinctiveness, uniformity and stability (DUS) testing becomes an essential element for protecting the intellectual property rights associated with these clones. DUS testing with morphological descriptors has, however, shown limitations in categorically distinguishing cultivars, especially with narrow genetic base. DNA fingerprinting based on microsatellite markers has been a powerful tool to discriminate clones. Teak (Tectona grandis) is an economically valuable exotic timber species planted in Brazil. We assessed the individual and combined performance of a selected set of 21 teak microsatellites for identity analysis and parentage testing in a sample of 50 clones planted in Brazil. The clones displayed high genetic diversity attributable to their wide provenance origin. The 21 microsatellites combined provide high power of individual identification with a combined probability of identity of 1.84E-23 for unrelated individuals, and 4.82E-09 for full-sibs, and a power of paternity exclusion higher than 99.99999 % in all testing scenarios. Variable subsets of these 21 markers still provide abundant power of discrimination, although a recommended set should include a minimum of 12 markers with higher information content and reliable genotyping performance. Relatedness and genetic distance analyses revealed unexpected identities or significant recent shared ancestry among otherwise considered unique clones. These results advocate for the importance of including DNA markers, at least as discretionary complementary descriptors to the 22 morphological traits currently adopted for plant variety protection of teak cultivars in Brazil.

Optimisation of Process Parameters on Tensile Strength of 3D Printed Polylactic Acid (PLA) Parts: ASTM D638 Type – IV
Authors: Akpakpavi M. K. , Sackey S. M. , Asante-Afrifa M. K. 
Published: November 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to optimize the influence of 3D printing processing parameters on the ultimate tensile strength of 3D printed Polylactic Acid (PLA) parts. The objective is to develop predictive models to help predict and attain optimised mechanical strength integrity of 3D printed parts.
Design/Methodology/Approach: In the present study, 3D printed PLA samples were modelled and fabricated using carefully selected processing parameters-processing speed, processing temperature and nozzle diameter. Tensile tests were performed by ASTM D638 standard. Two characteristics response optimisation models based on Taguchi Technique and multi-linear regression models were developed to optimise the process parameters and the ultimate tensile strength of the 3D printed samples.
Findings: Results of this study reveal that ultimate tensile strength is significantly affected by the Nozzle diameter. The ultimate tensile strength of the 3D-printed PLA sample was found to be significantly higher than the strength of the original PLA filament printed.
Research Implications/Limitations: In this study, only three critical 3D printing processing parameters including, processing speed; processing temperature and nozzle diameter were implemented concurrently.
Practical implication: The optimisation of process parameters for enhancing the tensile strength of 3D-printed PLA parts holds significant practical consequences, including cost savings, improved performance, sustainability, and innovation. The aforementioned consequences render PLA a more feasible and appealing material option for a diverse array of applications and industries.
Social implication: Optimisation of PLA printing can promote community engagement by allowing individuals to bring their creative ideas to life, fostering a sense of community and innovation.
Originality / Value: The unique aspect of this research resides in its particular emphasis on PLA, the utilization of empirical and data-based techniques to optimise process parameters, and its potential to enhance the real-world implementation of 3D printing with PLA across diverse industries.

Published: November 2023

Pada jalur utama Jalan Tol Pekanbaru-Dumai ada beberapa lokasi bersinggungan dengan jaringan pipa dan jaringan listrik milik PT Pertamina Hulu Rokan. Oleh karenanya metode pelaksanaan konstruksi jalan tol ini perlu direncanakan secara integrasi pihak-pihak terkait berkaitan dengan operasi pemeliharaan jalan tol tersebut. Badan Usaha Jalan Tol Indonesia wajib memenuhi Syarat Pelayanan Minimal. Pembangunan jalan tol Pekanbaru-Dumai menggunakan teknologi Corrugated Steel Plate (CSP) dan mortar busa guna mengantisipasi titik singgung dengan jaringan pipa dan jaringan listrik, serta underpass perlintasan kawanan gajah. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis apakah teknologi yang dipilih dalam konstruksi jalan tol mempengaruhi operasi dan pemeliharaan jalan tol ini. Penelitian dilakukan dengan studi literatur dan wawancara. Simpulan yang didapat dalam penelitian ini teknologi CSP, teknologi mortar busa, dan underpass gajah tidak mempengaruhi operasi jalan tol. Sementara itu jaringan pipa minyak memberi pengaruh operasi yang tidak signifikan. Underpass gajah, teknologi CSP, mortar busa, dan jaringan pipa minyak membutuhkan pemeliharaan berupa inspeksi rutin dan berkala. Underpass gajah juga membutuhkan pemeliharaan tanaman dan pemeliharaan drainase. Oleh karena Jalan Tol Pekanbaru-Dumai baru beroperasi mulai tahun 2022, operator jalan tol wajib mencatat data inspeksi dengan lengkap dan berkesinambungan agar manajemen operasi dan pemeliharaan dapat dilaksanakan sesuai dengan rencana jangka panjang.
ensino de Sociologia no contexto de ascensão da extrema direita no Brasil
Authors: Bodart Cristiano das Neves , Pires Welkson 
Published: November 2023

Este artigo apresenta o lugar e o papel da Sociologia escolar no atual contexto brasileiro, marcado pela ascensão de ideologias e práticas de extrema direita, mais especificamente pelo seu viés econômico ultraliberal e pelo conservadorismo moral. Organizado em três partes, esboça, respectivamente, o cenário macro político, curricular e alguns dos seus desdobramentos nas práticas escolares. O esforço maior está em refletir sobre as formas como a Sociologia escolar tem sido – ambiguamente – compreendida e instrumentalizada no contexto brasileiro. As reflexões estão amparadas, além da revisão de literatura, na análise de conjuntura, nos encaminhamentos político-institucionais, nos documentos curriculares e em relatos de experiências docentes coletados no ano de 2022.
