How do Indonesian industries perceive university-industry collaboration? Motivations, benefits and problems

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This study examines university-industry collaboration from the industry perspective. From a survey of 32 firms engaged in university-industry joint research funded by the Indonesian Government, we found various motivations to set up joint research with universities. These included accessing new ideas, getting involved in relevant research and accessing available research funding. A variety of benefits were enjoyed by industry, such as accessing new ideas and know-how from the university, improving product and process development, advancing the ability to provide better information to consumers/suppliers and improving R&D activities. However, industry partners perceived that their allocated investments did not pay off as expected and they were in doubt about the applicability or commercialisation potential of the research output. The findings also indicated that researchers were less likely to base research on the real problems faced by industry, but rather from an a priori perception or ideas they had in mind. Finally, recommendations were also provided.
Comparative study of brain functional imaging of brain in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease based on functional near infrared spectroscopy

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Abstract

Objective: Based on the near-infrared functional brain imaging system, this research studied the hemoglobin concentration signal in resting state and task state. The purpose of this research was to analyze the activated brain regions and functional connections by exploring the changes in hemoglobin concentration and the differences in brain network functional connections between healthy people and mild to moderate AD patients. So as to identify the cognitive dysfunction of patients at an early stage. By accurately locating the area of cognitive impairment in patients, it provides a basis for precise neural regulation of physical therapy. Methods: Patients who came to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were recruited and selected according to the exclusion criteria. After receiving their informed consent, MMSE scale examination and near-infrared brain function imaging examination were performed in a relatively quiet environment. Result: Results from 24 subjects of experiment show that 1. In rest state, the function network connectivity of prefrontal decreased in AD patients. 2. The activation of dorsolateral prefrontal lobe and frontal pole decreased in AD patients in VFT task state. 3. The left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe may serve as a key site for early recognition of cognitive decline and non-invasive neuroregulation.
Bacterial Coating on Seeds as a Potential Application of Bio-inoculants

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Seed inoculation with plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) is an ideal tool to supply the soil with a high density of beneficial microorganisms.However, viability of microorganisms is a major problem during seed treatment and storage.In this research, seed inoculated by PGPB was conducted to prove the presence and colonization the bacteria on the seed and their impact to the germination and plant growth of soybean.Soybean seed was coated by 4 endophytic bacteria strains (Pseudomonas sp.PIR3C, Pantoea sp.KD6.2, Raoultella sp.PCM8, and Pseudomonas sp.KS12).The ability of the endophytic bacteria to colonize soybean seeds was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Then, we observe the efficacy of endophytic bacteria inoculation on Soybean growth.The result demonstrated that seed inoculation was able to enter and colonize soybean seed.Seed inoculated with Pseudomonas sp.PIR3C and Raoultella sp.PCM8 significantly increased germination, chlorophyll content, shoot length, root length, and shoot diameter.Furthermore, Pseudomonas sp.PIR3C inoculation increased leaf number and dry weight of the soybean seedlings.Therefore, inoculation method by coating seeds with bacteria could be considered as a promising technique to apply inoculants as biofertilizer in improving plant growth and productivity.
<title>Motion-field and image-intensity segmentation for object-oriented coding of video sequences</title>

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A number of object-oriented coding algorithms have been proposed for coding video sequences at low bit rates. Instead of estimating motion of pixel blocks, these algorithms segment each image into regions of uniform motion and estimate the motion of these regions. Estimating the segmentation and computing motion parameters are evidently closely related. Most algorithms iteratively compute complex motion parameters and segmentation estimates, and typically computationally intensive. Image intensity segmentations were also used instead of motion field segmentations based on the hypothesis that adjacent pixels with similar luminance values are part of the same object, and therefore share common motion parameters. We previously proposed a simple tow-stage algorithm for which 1) a translational block-motion field is used to compute a translational motion field and its segmentation, 2) an optical flow field is then used to compute affine motion parameters for each segmented region. In this paper, we propose to replace the translational block motion field by another translational motion field which assigns a motion vector to each region of an image intensity segmentation. This approach combines the advantages of both intensity and motion filed segmentations, generates motion field segmentations that matches the scene content more closely with 15 percent-25 percent fewer objects, and therefore reduces the side bit rate required for coding the motion field segmentation.
Inheritance of Grain Dormacy in White‐Kernelled Wheat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Preharvest sprouting is a serious problem for seedsmen, growers, and processors of white‐kernelled wheat ( Triticum aestivum L. em Thell). Grain dormancy identified in several white‐kernelled wheats may provide genetic variation necessary to breed sprouting‐resistant white wheats. We have investigated the inheritance of grain dormancy from white‐kernelled wheats ‘dark's Cream’ and NY6432‐ 18, in crosses with white‐kernelled wheats ‘Geneva’ and ‘Houser’. Germination tests were performed on mature seed from several generations, with multilocation testing in advanced generations. Dormancy from each of the two sources shows largely dominant genetic effects, modification by background genotype, and a strong influence of environment. Large variation in dormancy among F 5 single‐seed descent lines derived from dormant but otherwise divergent parents, indicates that multiple dormancy mechanisms remain in the gene pool of domestic white‐kernelled wheats. Because of dominance and substantial nongenetic variation, selection for grain dormancy from these sources is best practiced among near‐homozygous genotypes replicated over environments.
Effect of Herbal Probiotic Supplementation on Weight, Blood Composition, Meat Quality and Immunity in Beef

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study was a report on 60 heads of Hanwoo steers(5 treatments ${\times}$ 4 heads ${\times}$ 3 repeats). Their start weights were $361.2{\pm}14.39kg$ to $380.5{\pm}27.33kg$; 12.7 to 13.6 months of age. The aim was to investigate the effect of herbal probiotic supplementation on the weight, blood composition, meat quality and immunity in beef. In case of body weight gain, con. 1 plot(183.8 kg) in the early fattening stage, T3 plot(115.1 kg) in the middle fattening stage, and T2 plot(163.3 kg) in the late fattening stage significantly increased(p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the blood content of T-Cho and IgG: con. 1 plot and T1 plot in the early fattening stage, T3 plot and T2 plots in the middle fattening stage, and con. 2 plot and T1~T3 plots in the late fattening stage had higher blood content than that of other treatment plots (p<0.05). In addition, the carcass weight was highest in the T1 plot and T2 plot among the total treatment plots(p<0.05). However, no statistical significant difference was observed in the different treatments; all individual treatment plots(T1~T3 plots) were somewhat higher than the control plots(con. 1~con. 2 plots) with respect to the carcass quantity and carcass quality. Combining and analyzing all results revealed that the dietary addition of herbal probiotics for Hanwoo steers had a positive effect on the improvement of weight, amount of meat, meat quality and immunity.
Sharing is caring: Designing incentive rebate strategies for information‐sharing alliances

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract Information security plays a crucial role in organizational governance and management, and information‐sharing alliances (ISAs) have emerged as effective platforms for the secure and controlled sharing of information security knowledge. Despite their potential, many ISAs face financial and operational challenges, including inadequate pricing policies and insufficient incentives for information sharing. This study addresses these challenges by proposing a modeling framework for the fee rebate strategies that ISAs can deploy to motivate effective information sharing. Taking into account the economic implications of both information sharing and information security technology investment, we propose two ISA‐based pricing rebate strategies for information sharing: the split‐return rebate strategy and the swap‐return rebate strategy. Analytical and numerical analyses are conducted to demonstrate the dynamics in different ISA settings under these pricing rebate strategies. The results suggest that in addition to firm size, the price for participating in sharing should be adjusted based on each participating firm's technology investment level, its information‐sharing level, and the marginal cost of information sharing. Also, by focusing on various information‐sharing environments, the study identifies specific conditions under which unfair sharing practices are likely to occur.
SQUIRREL: Testing Database Management Systems with Language Validity and Coverage Feedback

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Fuzzing is an increasingly popular technique for verifying software functionalities and finding security vulnerabilities. However, current mutation-based fuzzers cannot effectively test database management systems (DBMSs), which strictly check inputs for valid syntax and semantics. Generation-based testing can guarantee the syntax correctness of the inputs, but it does not utilize any feedback, like code coverage, to guide the path exploration. In this paper, we develop Squirrel, a novel fuzzing framework that considers both language validity and coverage feedback to test DBMSs. We design an intermediate representation (IR) to maintain SQL queries in a structural and informative manner. To generate syntactically correct queries, we perform type-based mutations on IR, including statement insertion, deletion and replacement. To mitigate semantic errors, we analyze each IR to identify the logical dependencies between arguments, and generate queries that satisfy these dependencies. We evaluated Squirrel on four popular DBMSs: SQLite, MySQL, PostgreSQL and MariaDB. Squirrel found 51 bugs in SQLite, 7 in MySQL and 5 in MariaDB. 52 of the bugs are fixed with 12 CVEs assigned. In our experiment, Squirrel achieves 2.4x-243.9x higher semantic correctness than state-of-the-art fuzzers, and explores 2.0x-10.9x more new edges than mutation-based tools. These results show that Squirrel is effective in finding memory errors of database management systems.
Preparation, characterization, and antistatic applications of high‐density polyethylene/polyaniline blends

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract To obtain electrostatic charge dissipative (ESD) materials, high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyaniline (PANI) blends are synthesized by the solution blending method. To prepare the blends, 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 wt% of PANI are introduced into the HDPE matrix. The prepared blends are investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Additionally, stress–strain curves are used to examine the blends' mechanical properties. Polyaniline additions indicated an increase in thermal stability by approximately 1°C in the blends but decrease in mechanical properties. The four‐probe technique is used to determine the electrical conductivity of blends, which is found to be between 10 −7 and 10 −10 S/cm. The results of the conductivity values have indicated that all blends have great potential to be used as antistatic materials. For antistatic applications, the ESD performance of the blends is determined at different corona voltages. Blends achieved the antistatic requirements with a 10% cutoff decay time of approximately 2.0 s and a 1/e time of approximately 1.0 s, demonstrating quick dissipation of static charges. According to antistatic decay times, it has been shown that all blends obtained in this study can be used as antistatic material at 3 kV corona voltage.
[Plasma separation combined with CVVHF in septic and SIRS patients].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In a prospective non-randomized trial, 59 patients with sepsis (n = 43) and SIRS (n = 16) were treated on a surgical intensive care unit. In 22 patients plasmapheresis in combination with continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVHF) was administered. Lethality was 56% in the sepsis group; in the therapy group lethality was significantly lower in patients with plasmapheresis, even though in this population the organic failure rate was higher. Finally the dependency of lethality and age was similar in both groups. Lethality at 22% in the plasmapheresis group with double organ failure was significantly lower (P > 0.01) than in controls. Reduction of lethality seemed to be as high as 18% in patients with sepsis, while patients with SIRS did not profit from the additional therapy. A prospective randomized trial in sepsis and double organic failure should be projected.

Effects of health claims on eating habits of the Dutch population

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

This artide reviews whether and how health daims on food products can influence eating behaviour in The Netherlands. At present, the research data on the possible influence of health daims on eating behaviour are Insuffident to be able to condude that this information does or does not have a significant impact on eating behaviour. Therefore, a model of behaviour change through education is used to analyse the possible effects of health daims on eating habits. Among the questions which arise are the following: who reads health daims, are health daims understood and under what conditions do health claims affect food choice? Based on the theoretical model it is conduded that, if daims have an effect on eating behaviour, this will probably be true for only a limited group of people. Several recommendations are made how to increase the potential effect of daims. It is conduded that experimental research should examine whether these recommendations indeed lead to a greater impact on eating behaviour.
Effects of different reaction mediums on ring opening polymerization of poly(ε-caprolactone) by lipase

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This work examined the effects of reaction conditions on ring opening polymerization of poly(ecaprolactone) (PCL) by Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435) as the catalyst. Different reaction mediums were obtained by changing of temperature, reaction time and solvent types simultaneously. The main purpose of this study was to observe molecular weight distribution, conversion rates, and thermal behaviors of PCL and to find the highest molecular weight in enzymatic reaction conditions. Three different reaction temperatures and solvent types were studied in this work. Reactions were carried out at 40, 60 and 80°C and n-hexane, toluene and diisopropyl ether were used as solvents. One more reaction series were done for toluene solution at 30°C. Moreover, experiments were undertaken at seven different time periods. During all the reactions, monomer, solvent, and enzyme concentrations were not changed. For 1 ml monomer/solvent solution (0.44 M monomer and 0.56 M solvent), 10 mg lipase were used in the experiments. All samples were analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) to obtain molecular weights, conversion rates, and chemical structures. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to determine chain structures of PCL samples. Thermal behaviors of samples were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to examine and compare polymers with each other.
Prevalence of periapical lesions, root canal treatments and restorations in teeth adjacent to implant- or toothsupported crowns

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

Aim: To describe the prevalence of periapical lesions, root canal treatments and coronal restorations on teeth adjacent to either implant- or natural tooth-supported crowns using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) assessment compared to nonadjacent teeth. Methodology: A total of 1249 CBCT volumes were screened by five pre-calibrated observers in 11 health centres. A step-by-step screening protocol was implemented and reviewed every 3 months, and mandatory setting characteristics were established for all CBCT scans using dedicated visualization software. Intra- and inter-rater reliability tests were conducted. The prevalence of periapical lesions, root canal treatments and coronalrestorations wasrecorded on both teeth adjacent and nonadjacent to implant- (predictor 1) or natural tooth-supported crowns (predictor 2). A binary logistic model (Generalizing Estimating Equations test) was used to verify whether the prevalence of periapical lesion, root canal filling and the tooth restorative status are altered when the assessed tooth is adjacent or not to an implant-supported crown (predictor 1); or to a natural tooth-supported crown (predictor 2). Odds ratio and confidence intervals for the dependent variables at both predictors were obtained. The significance level was set at .05. Results: A global sample of 22 899 teeth was included. Compared to nonadjacent teeth, the prevalence of periapical lesion, root canals treatments and restorative procedures when adjacent to implant-supported crowns was 10.7%, 19.6% and 22.9% higher, respectively, and when adjacent to tooth-supported crowns was 19.3%, 35.6% and 37.4% higher respectively. These results were significant only for variables root canal filling and coronal restoration (p < .0001). Odds ratio to present root canal treatment is 2.57 times higher (CI 1.95–3.39, p = .0001) when the tooth is adjacent to implant-supported crown and 4.39 times (CI 3.49–5.53, p = .0001) when adjacent to tooth-supported crown, whilst for restorative procedure, the odds are, respectively, 1.63 (CI 1.29–2.06, p = .0001) and 2.30 (CI 1.92–2.76, p = .0001).
(Invited) High Performance Flexible Perovskite Solar Cells Employing UV-Sintered Electron Transport Layers

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Organic-Inorganic halide perovskites have emerged as a promising light absorbing materials for next-generation solar cells due to their extraordinary photoelectrical properties and appropriate bandgap energy, making them suitable for single- and multi-junction solar cells. A distinct advantage of perovskite is their ability to be easily deposited on any substrate at desired nanoscale thicknesses using a layer-by-layer method at room temperature. Such a facile and low-temperature process facilitates the fabrication of devices even on lightweight and flexible polymer-based substrates. To realize flexible solar cells on plastic substrates, all procedures must employ a low-temperature process, below 150°C, compatible with polymer substrates. However, n-type metal oxides traditionally used for electron transport layer (ETL) necessitate high-temperature thermal annealing to enhance crystallinity and interparticle connectivity. In this study, we propose UV sintering processed ETL preparation for high-performance flexible solar cells. The process involves synthesizing highly crystalline metal oxide nanocrystals stabilized with organic ligands, spin-coating their dispersion, followed by UV irradiation. The energy level of ETL is controlled by doping metal ion such as gallium to reduce the energy level mismatch with the perovskite. We demonstrate that a systemically designed ETL enhances the photovoltaic performance and mechanical stability of flexible optoelectronic devices.
Adaptive control of a switch mode DC-DC power converter using a recursive FIR predictor

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The classical Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm is used in many adaptive control strategies. Unfortunately, these schemes often require significant signal processing and microprocessor hardware to implement. This can be a problem in cost sensitive systems. For this reason, this paper proposes the application of an alternative technique for the adaptive control of power electronic converter circuits. Specific attention is given to the adaptive control of a dc-dc converter. The method is computationally efficient and based around a Dichotomous Coordinate Descent (DCD) algorithm. The proposed controller uses an adaptive PD+I structure which, alongside the DCD algorithm, offers an effective alternative to a conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller.
