Pengaruh Komunikasi Interpersonal Skill terhadap Dunia Kerja
Authors: Monica Aulia , Ritonga Sonia , Suhairi Suhairi 
Published: May 2022

Interpersonal skill (interpersonal ability) is the ability to recognize and respond appropriately to one's feelings, attitudes and behavior, motivations and desires. This ability is very necessary because in everyday life it is almost impossible for humans not to relate to other people. In the scheme of living together arises the need to understand the needs of other human beings. Good and effective interpersonal communication skills are needed by humans so that they can carry out all their activities smoothly. Especially when someone performs activities in formal situations, for example in a work environment. More importantly, when a person's work activities are face-to-face with other people, most of the activities are interpersonal communication activities
Keywords: Interpersonal Skill, Motivation,attitude and behavior.

Intercultural communication develops based on two interconnected premises. First, you live in a time when changing technology, travel, economic and political systems, immigration patterns, and population density have resulted in a world in which you regularly interact with people from different cultures. Second, nowadays, people are very sensitive to the fact that the influence of culture on communication is very close and great. Your cultural background and experience help you determine how the world should be for you and how you will interact with it. Anthropological perspective in intercultural communication is looking at intercultural communication from an anthropological point of view, because the communication already contains cultural values. Intercultural communication is part of the marriage between the disciplines of anthropology and communication which later became a separate discipline both in communication science and in anthropology. Anthropology is one of the fields of science that is the root or foundation of the birth of communication science. In subsequent developments, cultural experts realized the importance of communication in the cultural field.

Despite increasing human activities, such as agriculture, little information is available on the status of trace metals contamination in rivers in developing countries including Côte d’Ivoire (West Africa). The aim of this study was study chemical fractions of Cu, Pb, Zn, and Ni, to identify mobility, sources and to evaluate ecological risks of traces metal in sediment of N’zi River using modified BCR sequential extraction procedure. The results showed that all metal were dominated by residual fractions. Labile fractions of Pb accounted for 0.0 – 68% of total contents indicating significant anthropogenic sources for Pb, while for Cu, Ni and Zn results suggesting natural sources. The potential mobility of the metals manifested following order: Ni > Zn > Cu > Pb. Risk assessment code indicated low to medium risk for Pb and low risk for other metals in the sediments.
Cluster analysis (CA) and Matrix correlation were used to detect the relationship between the studied sampling sites and to see if some of the parameters interrelated with each trace metal concentration in exchangeable fraction. Results indicated high anthropogenic contamination at stations near to urban and agricultural areas.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of this study was to look into the Immunomodulatory action of isolated compound of Achyranthes aspera and Amaranthus spinosus in experimental model of immunity. Cellular immunity was carried out by neutrophil adhesion test and carbon clearance assay, whereas, humoral immunity was analyzed by mice lethality test and indirect haemagglutination assay. The dose was selected after acute toxicity study of isolated compound of Achyranthes aspera and Amaranthus spinosus and administered at 5 mg/kg orally. The Levamisole (0.68mg/kg, p.o) was used as standard. Isolated compound of Achyranthes aspera (IAA) and Amaranthus spinosus (IAS) at 5 mg/kg produced significant increases in adhesion of neutrophils and an increase in phagocytic index in carbon clearance assay. Both doses of IAA and IAS significantly prevented the mortality induced by bovine Pasteurella multocida in mice. Treatment of animals with IAA, IAS and Levamisole significantly increased the circulating antibody titre in indirect haemagglunation test. Among the different Isolates, (IAS) was more effective in cellular immunity models than the (IAA). However, Both the Isolates IAA and IAS exhibited similar protection in humoral immunity procedures. It is concluded that isolated compound of Achyranthes aspera(IAA) and Amaranthus spinosus(IAS)possesses potential for augmenting immune activity by cellular and humoral mediated mechanisms more at doseof (5 mg/kg).

Purpose: Olaparib, a highly selective PARP inhibitor in advanced treatment of ovarian cancer. The method describes a simple, rapid, sensitive, specific LC-ESI-MS/MS assay for the simultaneous detection and accurate measurement of olaparib in rat plasma using telmisartan as an internal standard as per the regulatory guidelines.
Methods: Chromatographic separation was carried out on a Liquid Chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) unit with a Kinetex EVO C18 column (50 × 4.6 mm, 5 µ) using a gradient mobile phase of acetonitrile and 5mM ammonium acetate in water. No endogenous interfering compounds were discovered at the retention time of olaparib (1.66 min) and telmisartan (IS, 1.77 min).
Results: The MS/MS detection was performed in positive mode and MRM transitions were m/z 435.22→366.96 and 515.21→276.16 for olaparib and IS, respectively. This method was assessed to be stable, selective and no matrix effect in three concentrations (4, 500, 800 ng/mL). The intra and inter-day precisions were less than 7.55 % and accuracy ranged from 98.00 % to 106.38 %. The extraction recovery was within acceptable limits. Additionally, the method had good linearity in the range of 1-1000 ng/mL.
Conclusion: The validated method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of rats through oral and intravenous administration routes.

Aims: To describe a Central Retinal Vein Occlusion Secondary to Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria.
Presentation of Case: A 25 years old, male, student, in regular follow-up in the Hematology sector due to Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria in regular use of Eculizumab. He reports a month ago that he suddenly noticed, upon waking up in the morning, blurring and decreased visual acuity in her left eye.
Discussion: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired disorder characterized by hemolysis, thrombosis, and bone marrow failure caused by defective expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored (GPI-anchored) complement inhibitors. Most commonly, PNH is caused by the loss of PIGA function, which is necessary for GPI biosynthesis.
Conclusions: Patients with hemolytic anemia, unexplained thrombosis, especially in uncommon sites, cytopenias and bone marrow failure syndromes, dysphagia, and unexplained abdominal pain should be screened for PNH. PNH patients can benefit greatly from the treatments available, with a reduction in the risk of serious sequelae and a considerable improvement in their quality of life. So that the patient continues to be followed up in the ophthalmology department, with decreased visual acuity ipsilateral to the lesion, with a relative afferent pupillary defect on that side.

Published: May 2022

AbstractRecently, metal halide perovskites have attracted considerable interest as highly emissive phosphors for use in white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs). In perovskites, the migration of halide anions between green‐emitting bromide (e.g., CsPbBr3) and red‐emitting iodide (e.g., CsPbI3) materials is one obstacle to application. Here perovskite WLEDs that do not suffer from the anion exchange problem are reported: this is done by developing green‐emitting single‐layer sheets of (RNH3)2PbI4 (R = C18H35–, C12H25–, and C8H17–) and uniting these with red‐emitting CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs). It relies on self‐assembly from ligand‐capped CsPbI3 nanocrystals to form single‐layer sheets of (C18H35NH3)2PbI4: via judicious selection of alkylamines and alkyl acids, (RNH3)2PbI4 single‐layer sheets that exhibit bright and stable green emission with well‐defined single‐layer thickness are produced. Emission from 505, 512 to 536 nm is tuned and a narrow (<20 nm) linewidth is retained. Perovskite LEDs that produce white light with chromaticity coordinates (0.32, 0.33) and color gamut that reaches 117% National Television System Committee (NTSC) in the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) 1931 color space are demonstrated.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThe cocrystals of 2‐(benzo[d]thiazol‐2‐yl)‐3‐(pyren‐1‐yl)acrylonitrile (Py‐BZTCN) and 1,2,4,5‐tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) are constructed through intermolecular charge‐transfer (CT) interactions between donor and acceptor. Cis‐ and trans‐isomers of Py‐BZTCN induce the formation of two different crystal packing with 1:2 and 1:1 stoichiometric ratios between Py‐BZTCN and TCNB, corresponding to the cocrystals of PCNTC‐O and PCNTC‐R, respectively. PCNTC‐O cocrystal exhibits orange‐yellow normal fluorescence with a CT from pyrene (Py) monomer to TCNB, while PCNTC‐R cocrystal presents red thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) with a CT from Py dimer to TCNB. This photophysical difference originates from that, relative to Py monomer, Py dimer has an elevated energy level of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), which results in a stronger CT in PCNTC‐R cocrystal. Both cocrystals possess unique two‐photon absorption (TPA) properties, and changing monomer into dimer as a donor in the CT cocrystal effectively alters the supramolecular properties. Noteworthily, PCNTC‐R is a rare case in which TADF and TPA are integrated into a cocrystal, opening up a new supramolecular strategy to explore the multi‐functional materials.

AbstractMonitoring of tiny intracell temperature variations is of high importance to understand the mechanisms of exothermic/endothermic processes inside the living cells. Small shifts in thermal balance may drastically influence cell functioning and induce pathological conditions. By using biocompatible diamond single‐crystal microneedles enriched with nitrogen‐vacancy (NV)/silicon‐vacancy (SiV) color centers, this study demonstrates all‐optical in vitro temperature monitoring in the physiologically significant range (25–55 °C). Zero‐phonon line (ZPL) of SiV centers belonging to the “therapeutic window” is used to improve measurement precision via suppression of the tissue autofluorescence. The simultaneous detection of the NV and SiV fluorescence enables two‐band visualization of the living cells combined with the temperature sensing. This study demonstrates experimentally that temperature can be measured by lifetime, full‐width at half maximum, and peak position of SiV ZPL, while accuracy can be further improved by normalizing the photoluminescence (PL) ZPL peak intensity on the PL signal measured at the wavelength where it is temperature independent. According to performed numerical simulations diamond microneedles enable real‐time temperature measurements because their characteristic heating time is less than 10 ns. The results open a way toward accurate, noninvasive, precise, and real‐time monitoring of temperature variations accompanying intracellular biochemical reactions and processes on the single‐cell level.

Published: May 2022

AbstractAnti‐counterfeiting has become a serious issue around the global world; fluorescence‐based tags are praised for the low‐cost and facile decryption process. However, the high‐level anti‐counterfeiting application requires incorporating multifunctional luminescent materials with response to different excitation sources. Herein, a dimeric Cu(I)‐halide‐clusters‐assembled single‐crystal (AEP)2Cu2I6·2I·2H2O (AEP = N‐aminoethylpiperazinium) concerning a high down‐conversion photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) value of near unity is reported (λex = 305 nm), which can also be activated by the near‐infrared light and X‐ray. The ultrafast spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations reveal that the broad‐band emission originates from the recombination of self‐trapped excitons. Remarkably, the high PLQY and excellent attenuation capability for X‐ray confers an outstanding light yield of 55 650 photons MeV−1 to (AEP)2Cu2I6·2I·2H2O, which is 5.25 times higher than the standard bismuth germaniumoxide scintillator. Such multi‐light‐stimulus response endows (AEP)2Cu2I6·2I·2H2O with great application potential in anti‐counterfeiting, solid‐state lighting devices, and digital radiography.
Suzuki Coupling of Activated Aryltriazenes for Practical Synthesis of Biaryls from Anilines
Authors: Guo Dongsheng , Shi Weijia , Zou Gang 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAryltriazenes can hardly take part in productive organic transformations unless stoichiometric Brönsted or Lewis acid activators are used. We report here for the first time a palladium‐catalyzed Suzuki coupling of aryltriazenes activated by a sulfonyl group at N3 atom under the common basic conditions. Benefiting from elimination of stoichiometric acid activators, activated aryltriazenes could efficiently couple with arylboronic acids to afford diaryls in modest to excellent yields by using a simple catalyst at low loading, 0.3 mol% Pd(PPh3)2Cl2. Scope and limitation of the coupling are demonstrated with 26 examples.magnified image
Exact Analytic Formula for Conductance Predicting a Tunable Sommerfeld–Arrhenius Thermal Transition within a Single‐Step Tunneling Mechanism in Molecular Junctions Subject to Mechanical Stretching
Authors: Bâldea Ioan 
Published: May 2022

AbstractIt is shown that the conductance G of molecular tunnel junctions wherein the charge transport is dominated by a single energy level can be expressed in closed analytic form which is exact and valid at arbitrary temperature T and model parameter values. On this basis, it is shown that the single‐step tunneling mechanism is compatible with a continuous thermal transition from a weakly T‐dependent G at low T (Sommerfeld regime) to a nearly exponential ‐dependent G at high T (Arrhenius‐like regime). This Sommerfeld–Arrhenius transition can be observed in real molecular junctions and can be continuously tuned, for example, via mechanical stretching.
