Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan untuk mengenalkan kepada masyarakat luas tentang pemanfaatan limbah serbuk kayu untuk dijadikan pupuk kompos.. Kegiatan pengabdian PKM ini menggunakan pendekatan pemberdayaan masyarakat partisipatif atau Participatory Action Research (PAR) yaitu suatu metode penelitian yang melibatkan secara aktif semua pihak-pihak yang relevan dalam mengkaji tindakan yang sedang berlangsung dimana pengalaman mereka sendiri sebagai persoalan dalam rangka melakukan perubahan dan perbaikan ke arah yang lebih baik. Dari kegiatan yang telah dilakukan, peserta kegiatan yaitu mencari titik utama yang menjadi masalah terbesar di masyarakat setempat, kemudian tim KKN-PAR melakukan sosialisasi dan aksi dari masalah yang telah disepakati. Setelah itu pendampingan terhadap masyarakat. Di Desa Kedungmulyo ini, selain mata pencaharian masyarakat sebagai petani, sebagian besar pula bekerja dalam bidang industri meubel. Di industri meubel, banyak sekali limbah dari serbuk kayu yang belum tersentuh tangan masyarakat. Hal ini disebabkan masih rendahnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pengolahan limbah sebuk kayu meubel, Selain itu juga didukung tindakan masyarakat yang lebih memilih cara cepat untuk menjualnya. Dari pemaparan di atas, tim KKN PAR mengadakan inovasi tentang pemanfaatan limbah serbuk kayu meubel untuk meningkatkan harga jual dan kualitas produk sehingga bisa meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat di Desa Kedungmulyo.

Published: September 2022

The Integrated Service Post, known as Posyandu, is the front line in health services and other multifunctional services. However, at this time its existence has not been seen optimally, this is due to the lack of Posyandu implementers and managers in understanding the existence of Posyandu, so that reports on Posyandu activities that should be carried out in stages have not been carried out optimally, besides that there is still an assumption that Posyandu belongs to Health people. The objectives of the service activities are: Understanding Geber Madu Ayu, Joint Movement for Advancing Posyandu in Indramayu Regency. Methods: lectures, discussions and simulations.
The results of the activity: All management of the Posyandu, Village Working Group, District Pokjanal and District Posyandu Pokjanal understand the importance of the Joint Movement to Promote Integrated Service Posts (Posyandu) in Indramayu Regency. Conclusion: The Joint Movement to establish a posyandu in Indramayu has been received and received a good response from stakeholders. Suggestion: Posyandu administrators at every level should increase their commitment to advancing posyandu by involving related elements, ranging from academics, business people, communities and media as well as advocating for regional/government heads.
Representation of Feminism in South Asian Society: A Critical Study of An American Brat by Bapsi Sidhwa
Authors: Hamza Hassan & Muhammad Rizwan  
Published: September 2022

An American Brat by Bapsi Sidhwa is a postcolonial and feminist novel. Feroza, the heroine of the novel, is a teenage Parsee girl from Lahore. The novel An American Brat is focused on the character of Feroza because she was sent to America to her uncle. There, her behaviour changed. The whole story revolved around this single character. The parents of Feroza are very modern, while Feroza is a religious and conservative girl when we are introduced to her character. She is never attracted to the young men because she is regarded as backward and narrow-minded. She is an innocent individual and loves to stay alone. Firstly, she was not ready to go to America, but her family made her go there forcefully. The modern world of America proved awful for the sixteen years old Feroza. Therefore the consequences were as appalling as expected. This is why the feminist approach can be traced in the novel's text either from her mother or from herself. Feminism as the dominant approach is waved throughout the novel in one way or the other. This research is conducted to draw out all feminist traces from the text.

Published: September 2022

Objective: Office hysteroscopy is a method that has become increasingly popular because of its low complication rate, rapid recovery, and cost-effectiveness. Pain is the biggest obstacle to the successful completion of office hysteroscopy procedures. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of misoprostol in providing cervical ripening, and thus reducing pain during the cervical transition of hysteroscopy.
Methods: This research was conducted as an observational case-control study. Seventy-nine patients who underwent office hysteroscopy were included. Twenty-nine patients were administered 200 μg of vaginal misoprostol 4 h before office hysteroscopy, whereas the control group consisting of 50 patients was not provided with premedication for cervical dilatation. Patients were asked to rate their pain between 0 and 10 using the visual analog scale (VAS) 30 min after the procedure.
Results: VAS pain scores after diagnostic office hysteroscopy (3.61 ± 0.61) and operative office hysteroscopy (4.45 ± 0.82) were significantly lower in the misoprostol group than in the control group patients. None of the patients experienced serious side effects caused by misoprostol and requested to end the procedure.
Conclusion: A significant reduction in the VAS pain score was detected in patients who were administered 200 μg of vaginal misoprostol 4 h before office hysteroscopy. Misoprostol facilitated transition by providing cervical maturation and reduced the risk of pain-related unsuccessful hysteroscopy.

O estudo teve por objetivo analisar a governança corporativa, na perspectiva de suas externalidades e sustentabilidade, diante das contribuições da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas na nova matriz de desenvolvimento pluridimensional. A pesquisa é de cunho exploratório, realizada por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura, com abordagem qualitativa. A análise resgata a convergência de marcos teóricos da academia com a ação política articulada pela Organização das Nações Unidas, com novos atores internacionais, especialmente organizações não governamentais e corporações, em torno das externalidades negativas do contexto econômico e do consumo, que refletem em inúmeras preocupações com o futuro da humanidade. O Pacto Global e a Agenda 2030 evidenciam-se como um novo marco regulatório, com elevado potencial de convergência de práticas de governança e de sua replicação no meio empresarial. Os resultados indicam a necessidade do diálogo entre diversos atores públicos e privados, especialmente no contexto das externalidades, para nortear iniciativas em prol do desenvolvimento pluridimensional efetivamente inclusivo, ponderando os direitos humanos e a dignidade dos indivíduos, independente de localização geográfica, ideologias ou crenças.
A quem serve a educação “para todos”?
Authors: Bem Deborah , Gonçalves Josiane Peres 
Published: September 2022

Esse texto pretendeu refletir sobre as contradições que permeiam a educação escolar, com ênfase no caso do Brasil. Nesse sentido, o intuito é refletir sobre a situação atual da educação brasileira inserida em uma sociedade regida pelo capital, bem como a sua estruturação histórica - que se estabeleceu através de marcadores de exclusão social como racismo, desigualdade de gênero, marginalização e outros – e sua intrínseca relação com a conjuntura política do país. Para tanto, realizou-se uma breve retomada histórica da educação escolar no país e uma, igualmente breve, análise da conjuntura política brasileira a partir do golpe de 2016 e quais os reflexos disso na escola – enfatizando o movimento “escola sem partido”. O referencial teórico que norteou esse texto foi o materialismo histórico-dialético sob orientação da pedagogia histórico-crítica. Para finalizar, apresentou-se algumas possibilidades de luta e resistência, à luz da pedagogia histórico-crítica, que visam a superação desse quadro catastrófico que se instaurou no país.
A Rational Approach to Handle Uncertainty and Complexity in Marine Systems Design

Published: September 2022

Years of volatile shipping market dynamics have intensified the need for more effective handling of uncertainty in conceptual and basic ship design processes. More recently, necessary climate remedial efforts in shipping have revealed the complexity associated with the facts-based selection of proper “green” technologies and ship design solutions, the control of their resulting extra costs and operational and commercial consequences. Naval architects and marine engineers and their ship design firms or shipyard affiliations, more than ever, have seen their expertise, knowledge, work practices, toolboxes and business concepts challenged - to the extent of capacity limits and perhaps beyond? Thus, the development of more advanced tools, more effective business concepts and efficient work procedures becomes increasingly important. Improved design processes must come, hand-with-hand, with new and refreshed expertise. This paper builds on the premise that uncertainty and complexity influence the effectiveness of the decision-making process in ship design. We argue, therefore, that to improve the way daily ship design activities are carried out it is necessary to better understand the influence of uncertainty and complexity on such transactions and to implement methods and tools to eliminate or reduce the associated detrimental effects on design quality and efficiency.
The purpose of this paper is to explore, contrast, discuss and provide quantitative facts as to what are these inherent uncertainties and complexities and how do they influence effective decision making relating to conceptual ship design approaches and their design firms’ competitiveness. This complementary research work combines, summarizes and reports the research findings from two recent finalized PhD Thesis; Effectiveness in Decision-Making in Ship Design under Uncertainty and Handling Ship Design Complexity to enhance Competitiveness in Ship Design.
The research work is well-grounded in the systems theory paradigm and this paper presents its results in the form of specific ways in which a revised systemic ship design approach can help ship designers and their firms to better handle uncertainty and complexity in their future dealings with a dynamic market situation and immature “greening” technologies based on the findings in the PhD Thesis.
An Area-Specific Survivability Assessment for Passenger Ships
Authors: Mauro Francesco , Vassalos Dracos 
Published: September 2022

The survivability of a passenger ship after an accident is assessed by a probabilistic framework covering hazards like collisions and groundings. Such assessments are a key determinant for the internal ship arrangement and layout, affecting ship design and operation, The framework pertains to static assessment, but it is common to use the same damage definitions for dynamic calculations. In the latter case, besides the breach characteristics, the environmental condition selection is of paramount importance. In the specific, irregular waves modelling, it is necessary to simulate the damage scenarios. In the common dynamic approaches to survivability, attention is paid to the significant wave height of the calculation, considering the wave period constant. The wave height is not always reflecting real scenarios but is derived from statistics of collisions (GOALS project). However, wave height and period influence ship dynamic in waves (in intact or damaged conditions), impacting survivability after damage. Aiming to a direct assessment of ship survivability and the probability of loss of lives determination in realistic operational scenarios, it is essential to properly study the influence of combined variations of wave height and periods and their occurrence. In the present study, dynamic simulations are carried out in site-specific conditions derived from the Global Wave Statistics. Critical cases are derived from conventional survivability analyses on a sample passenger ship. The same cases are then analysed using wave height and period combinations typical of the main sea areas of interest for passenger ships. This enhanced analysis allows to clearly identify the limiting environmental conditions for the critical damage cases, evaluating the effective survivability of the ship to a specific damage in an operational area.

Published: September 2022

Background:Large-scale neuronal network breakdown underlies memory impairment in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the differential trajectories of the relationships between network organisation and memory across pathology and cognitive stages in AD remain elusive. We determined whether and how the influences of individual-level structural and metabolic covariance network integrity on memory varied with amyloid pathology across clinical stages without assuming a constant relationship.Methods:Seven hundred and eight participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative were studied. Individual-level structural and metabolic covariance scores in higher-level cognitive and hippocampal networks were derived from magnetic resonance imaging and [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography using seed-based partial least square analyses. The non-linear associations between network scores and memory across cognitive stages in each pathology group were examined using sparse varying coefficient modelling.Results:We showed that the associations of memory with structural and metabolic networks in the hippocampal and default mode regions exhibited pathology-dependent differential trajectories across cognitive stages using sparse varying coefficient modelling. In amyloid pathology group, there was an early influence of hippocampal structural network deterioration on memory impairment in the preclinical stage, and a biphasic influence of the angular gyrus-seeded default mode metabolic network on memory in both preclinical and dementia stages. In non-amyloid pathology groups, in contrast, the trajectory of the hippocampus-memory association was opposite and weaker overall, while no metabolism covariance networks were related to memory. Key findings were replicated in a larger cohort of 1280 participants.Conclusions:Our findings highlight potential windows of early intervention targeting network breakdown at the preclinical AD stage.Funding:Data collection and sharing for this project was funded by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) (National Institutes of Health Grant U01 AG024904) and DOD ADNI (Department of Defense award number W81XWH-12-2-0012).

Examining the ability to track multiple moving targets as a function of postural stability: a comparison between team sports players and sedentary individuals
Authors: Zwierko Teresa , Lesiakowski Piotr , Redondo Beatriz , Vera Jesús 
Published: September 2022

Background
The ability to track multiple objects plays a key role in team ball sports actions. However, there is a lack of research focused on identifying multiple object tracking (MOT) performance under rapid, dynamic and ecologically valid conditions. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effects of manipulating postural stability on MOT performance.

Methods
Nineteen team sports players (soccer, basketball, handball) and sixteen sedentary individuals performed the MOT task under three levels of postural stability (high, medium, and low). For the MOT task, participants had to track three out of eight balls for 10 s, and the object speed was adjusted following a staircase procedure. For postural stability manipulation, participants performed three identical protocols (randomized order) of the MOT task while standing on an unstable platform, using the training module of the Biodex Balance System SD at levels 12 (high-stability), eight (medium-stability), and four (low-stability).

Results
We found that the ability to track moving targets is dependent on the balance stability conditions (F2,66 = 8.7, p < 0.001, η² = 0.09), with the disturbance of postural stability having a negative effect on MOT performance. Moreover, when compared to sedentary individuals, team sports players showed better MOT scores for the high-stability and the medium-stability conditions (corrected p-value = 0.008, Cohen’s d = 0.96 and corrected p-value = 0.009, Cohen’s d = 0.94; respectively) whereas no differences were observed for the more unstable conditions (low-stability) between-groups.

Conclusions
The ability to track moving targets is sensitive to the level of postural stability, with the disturbance of balance having a negative effect on MOT performance. Our results suggest that expertise in team sports training is transferred to non-specific sport domains, as shown by the better performance exhibited by team sports players in comparison to sedentary individuals. This study provides novel insights into the link between individual’s ability to track multiple moving objects and postural control in team sports players and sedentary individuals.

Published: July 2002

AbstractThe behaviors of heat‐induced translocation of cytoplasmic β‐galactosidase to periplasm across the inner membrane of Escherichia coli cells were investigated in order to apply such phenomena to the process for production and separation of intracellular biomolecules. The heat stress was found to induce translocation of cytoplasmic β‐galactosidase (β‐gal) together with reduction of the amounts of intracellular soluble proteins and formation of their inactive aggregates. The translocation of β‐gal was then analyzed using (a) the location factor of β‐gal (LFG), which meant enzyme location in the cells and could be determined from the kinetic analysis of enzyme release process, and (b) the percentage of β‐gal activity in periplasm after solublizing the outer membrane of E. coli cells by lysozyme/EDTA treatment. The LFG values were maximized when cells were stressed at the temperature of 42–47 °C. From the results on the surface properties of both β‐gal and cell membrane under the heat stress, it is suggested that (1) the conformational change of cytoplasmic oligomeric β‐gal to the partially dissociated and/or unfolded state with higher local hydrophobicity, (2) the increase in membrane fluidity of inner membrane, (3) the enhancement of hydrophobic interaction between lipid and protein, and (4) the inhibition of its translocation by GroEL restabilizing the proteins could underlie the heat‐induced translocation of β‐gal across the inner membrane. The possibility to apply the heat‐induced translocation of β‐gal for the enhancement of the target selectivity at the process upstream is finally presented.
