Mesoporous silica (MS) was successfully synthesized via the sol-gel method using gelatin-P123 as a bi-template under hydrothermal reaction conditions at 100 ºC for 24 h, followed by calcination at 550 ºC for 5 h. The amount of TiO? in MS was adjusted to 1, 5, and 10% (w/w) and characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, N? adsorption-desorption, and UV-Vis. The crystallinity of the samples increased with higher TiO? content, as confirmed by XRD data. SEM analysis revealed that the morphology of MS and TiO?/MS was cylindrical, with a particle size distribution of 0.4–0.6 µm. The surface area of MS was 500.8 m²/g, which decreased to a range of 369.6–454.8 m²/g after TiO? modification, while the pore diameter increased from 28.22 to 34.61 Å. The adsorption efficiency for methylene blue photodegradation reached a maximum value of 95%, demonstrating excellent catalytic performance. Thermal regeneration proved to be a promising strategy to recover the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO?/MS for more than five cycles. Furthermore, thermal regeneration and the reuse of catalysts in wastewater treatment systems provide cost-effective solutions for pollutant removal.

Introduction: Acne vulgaris (AV) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects several parts of the body, such as hair follicles, the face, and the neck. AV often occurs in adolescents due to increased sebum production, hyperkeratinization of pilosebaceous follicles, and inflammation. AV is a multifactorial inflammation that can be triggered by several factors, such as frequent fast-food consumption, poor facial hygiene, and poor sleep habit. This research was performed to examine the relationship between fast-food consumption, facial hygiene, and sleep patterns with AV severity among students of Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA). Methods: An analytic observational with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 60 respondents. The data were collected using the Dermatology Life Quality Index, based on which respondents’ quality of life related to skin problems was examined. Meanwhile, the Food Frequency Questionnaire was distributed to assess food consumption, and a questionnaire measuring facial hygiene was used to assess respondents’ face condition. Furthermore, respondents’ quality of sleep was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The aforementioned data then underwent univariate and bivariate analysis. Results: The results showed that the most consumed types of fast food by UNUSA students were fried chicken, and while the severity of AV was considered low. Most of the students have poor sleep quality. A significant association was found between the frequency of fast-food consumption, facial hygiene (P = 0.041), and sleep patterns (P = 0.043) with the severity of AV. Conclusions: The frequency of fast-food consumption, facial hygiene, and sleep patterns are significantly associated with the severity of AV among UNUSA students.

Food security and safety are becoming major concerns worldwide. Providing food security and safety in hospitals is particularly challenging since their populations are diverse in dietary and nutritional requirements and more vulnerable to foodborne illnesses. The aim of this research is to promote hospital sustainability by addressing food security and food safety. Method: This study uses a quantitative method with a bibliometric study approach. This research has 212 articles from the Scopus database. All the documents were collected simultaneously in August 2022. The selected article encompassed the years from 2017 to 2021, including document type, publication stage, source type, language, and subject area. The data was analyzed using VOSviewer and NVivo analytical tools. Results: The results of the studies on food security and safety increased from 2017-2022 with current trends in hospital sustainability, food waste, and waste management in food. Our study has identified four clusters: hospital food services, hospital sustainability, nutrition, and food safety. Food security is positively correlated with assessment, challenges, measurement, status, and sustainability (Pearson correlation score is 1). Disease control, proper waste management, and environmental health are all associated with food safety (Pearson correlation score ±0.79-0.64). Conclusion: Food safety and security are critical to achieve hospital sustainability, therefore awareness-raising efforts must continue. It is recommended that hospital stakeholders, food service providers; public and private sectors adopt policies and guidelines to disseminate information on food safety and security concerning hospital sustainability

The synthesis of mesoporous Fe2O3/TiO2 heterostructures using a P123-Gelatin hybrid template has been investigated for enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under visible light. The study focused on the effect of gelatin concentration on mesoporosity, iron content, particle size, and surface area of Fe2O3/TiO2. The results showed that the Fe2O3/TiO2 composites exhibited superior photocatalytic activity compared to individual TiO2 and Fe2O3. This enhancement was attributed to the optimized gelatin concentration, which increases mesoporosity and Fe2O3 incorporation, facilitating efficient electron transfer and photo-electron conversion for methylene blue oxidation. Additionally, a fuzzy logic analysis was conducted to correlate the physicochemical properties of the composites with their photocatalytic activities. This analysis identified iron loading and mesoporosity as theion dominant factors affecting photocatalytic efficiency, with a high correlation coefficient. The study concluded that mesoporous Fe2O3/TiO2 synthesized with the P123-Gelatin template significantly improves methylene blue degradation. This improvement is primarily due to the synergistic effect of large pore diameter and Fe3+/Ti4+ interaction. The fuzzy logic model provided accurate predictions, confirming the critical role of iron loading and mesoporosity in enhancing photocatalytic performance.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world. Its pathologic hallmarks are dopaminergic neuronal loss in the substantia nigra and alpha-synuclein accumulation in neurons. However, the patho-biologic mechanisms are largely unknown. Current drugs cannot slow or halt disease progression while clinical trials are mostly unsuccessful. Hence better cellular models are needed for pathological and drug discovery studies prior to in vivo validation. PC12 cells are commonly used for neurotoxicity studies but the Neuroscreen-1 (NS-1) variant has a faster doubling time and higher basal rate of neurite growth. We developed a NS-1 PD model with the neurotoxin 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) and MTT cell viability assay as readout. We optimized 6-OHDA concentration to a uniquely low 10 µM for a closer approximation to in vivo neurotoxicity. NS-1 cells treated with 6-OHDA displayed hallmark dopamine loss and apoptotic cell death. We used the model to screen a series of xanthones − polyphenolic compounds found in many medicinal plants. We report a novel activity of thwaitesixanthone in the PD model. The model was validated using alpha-mangostin (a neuroprotectant in in vivo and in vitro PD models) which was the most active in restoring cell viability. Alpha-synuclein is now a therapeutic target for stopping PD progression. Human HEK293 cells have neuronal attributes and reported to express pathologic alpha-synuclein. We hypothesized the transfection-efficient HEK293T cells is an optimal cell line for monitoring human alpha-synuclein levels. We make the first report that 6-OHDA treatment increased pathologic alpha-synuclein expression in HEK293T cells. This alpha-synucleinopathy model was validated using alpha-mangostin which attenuated 6-OHDA-induced pathologic alpha-synuclein to baseline levels. Thus we developed a novel NS-1 PD model more representative of in vivo neurotoxicity complemented by a human HEK293T cell-based alpha-synucleinopathy model for tracking pathologic alpha-synuclein levels. We present these dual models for producing in vitro findings with increased likelihood of clinical translation.

In this study, fabrication of mesoporous nanocellulose-hectorite-alginate bead (B-NcH) composites and their application for adsorption of MB from water was carried out. The synthesis of nanocellulose (NC) was conducted from mangosteen waste peel (Garcinia mangostana L.). Garcinia mangostana L. peel had 58.9 ± 0,41 % content of cellulose. NCs was successfully isolated using the acid hydrolysis method. NC from Garcinia mangostana L. peel had a diameter of 24.5 ± 0.2 nm and a length of 381.2 ± 10.4 nm. The superabsorbent was composed of nanocrystalline cellulose, mesoporous hectorite, and alginate. The functional group, phase, and morphology of composite was investigated. The composite with 5 % NC had excellent mechanical strength. The B-NcH5 showed a high adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB), reaching 98.64 % at an adsorbent dose of 30 mg for 90 min. The presence of hectorite can increase the adsorption ability compared to NCs-alginate. The equilibrium adsorption data followed the Freundlich isotherm; however, the kinetics of adsorption showed the usefulness of adopting the PSO kinetic model. The highest adsorption capacity of B-NcH5 for MB was determined to be 57.59 mg/g. For thermodynamic studies, it was revealed that the adsorption of MB on BNcH-5 is a spontaneous and endothermic process. The removal efficiency was observed in six consecutive cycles, indicating at the favorable reusability of this adsorbent. These results validate the potential use of this B-NcH5 adsorbent for water treatment applications.

The catalytic thermal conversion of carbon dioxide is essential for carbon capture, storage, and utilization, helping to reduce CO2 emissions and potentially stimulating future economic activities. Zeolite Y, ZSM-5, BEA, and A were synthesized using the hydrothermal technique from Indonesian kaolin to examine the potential use of zeolite as a catalyst without metal nanoparticles. In the absence of metal, catalytic activity for CO2 methanation relies solely on textural properties and basicity-acidity. Zeolite Y exhibits the highest CO2 conversion at 36.64 % and attained 100 % of CH4 selectivity at 400 °C. The exceptional CO2 conversion of zeolite Y relies on a high basicity level of 1.02 mmol/g, as shown by CO2-TPD analysis, and a relatively low acid site concentration of 1.48 mmol/g, as determined by NH3-TPD analysis. ZSM-5, BEA, and zeolite A, demonstrated CO2 conversion of 29.85 %, 23.86 %, and 12.15 %, respectively. Stability studies revealed ZSM-5 maintains methane (CH4) selectivity of 94 %, which is only slightly lowered by 6 % for 30 hours, while zeolite Y achieved 90 % selectivity for 26 hours. The presence of mesopores in zeolite ZSM-5 reduced coke or carbon production, maintaining crystalline framework.

TiO2 material has an important position in the processing of methylene blue waste because it is economical, has abundant polymorphs, high sustainability and supports green chemistry applications. Mesoporous TiO2 is a porous material that has higher effectiveness than other TiO2 because the pore structure has a large diameter at the nano scale (2-50 nm) with a regular shape so that the surface area and pore volume are greater than the average for other TiO2. The synthesis of mesopore TiO2 material has so far used the sol-gel route with synthetic pore directing agents such as P123 which can be replaced with gelatin as a cheaper and safer pore directing agent with high sustainability and abundance. Based on the description above, this research aims to photodegrade methylene blue using mesoporous TiO2 (m-TiO2) nanoparticles which were prepared by the sol–gel method using gelatin and P123 as template. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Electron dispersive X-Ray (EDX), and UV–vis spectroscopy techniques were used to characterize the samples. Photocatalytic activities of samples for methylene blue degradation were investigated. The catalyst before and after regeneration will be studied so that the effect of regeneration on the results of methylene blue photocatalysis with m-TiO2 can be determined. XRD results confirmed the formation of the anatase and rutile phase for the TiO2 nanoparticles, with crystallite sizes larger after regeneration in the range of 9–21 nm. The large particle size was after regeneration due to the promotion by high temperature treatment. TiO2 nanoparticles showed the best photocatalytic activity on the first use to 91% and remained stable after four cycles with photodegradation efficiency up to 76% based on the measured UV-Vis spectroscopy. TiO2 as synthesis could be the best candidate for catalyst with the high performance after multicycle regeneration. Copyright © 2024 by Authors, Published by BCREC Publishing Group.

Oil is one of the most popular media for the ozonation process compared to other media such as water or saline methods or direct exposure to blood. Ozonated oil has an advantage over other ozone therapy methods because ozonated oil has an antiseptic activity that is several hundred times higher than ozonated saline. Sumbawa oil is one of the local wisdom products of the Sumbawa tribal community, which is generally used as medicine or massage therapy to heal injuries such as broken bones, tendonitis, bruises, back pain and treatment of various skin wounds. An ozonation process can be carried out to increase the ability of Sumbawa oil to regenerate skin and repair tissue. Ozonation uses a Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DDBD) plasma reactor. The DDBD Plasma Reactor is a reactor that can produce ozone gas with very high purity. Pure ozone gas is very well applied in the medical world. This research aims to increase the peroxide levels in Sumbawa oil by ozonation using a Double Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DDBD) Plasma reactor. The flow rates used were 0.1 L/minute, 0.4 L/minute and 0.7 L/minute for 1 hour, 3 hours and 5 hours. The results showed that the peroxide value increased with increasing oxygen flow rate and ozonation time. The highest peroxide value was obtained at a flow rate of 0.7 L/minute for 5 hours, namely 332.03 mg Eq/kg Sumbawa oil. Increased by 282.71 mg Eq/kg; the peroxide figure for Sumbawa oil without ozonation was 49.32 mg Eq/kg.

Abstract Background: Breastfeeding rates in Indonesia have decreased significantly in recent years. In 2021, less than half of babies in Indonesia (48.6 percent) were breastfed in the first hour of life, down from 58.2 percent in 2018. Only 52.5 percent were exclusively breastfed in the first six months, which is a decrease sharply from 64.5 percent in 2018. The success of breastfeeding is determined by several inhibiting and supporting factors, one of which is anxiety due to an episiotomy. Episiotomy is often performed to prevent more severe perineal tearing during labor, but there is controversy regarding the benefits and risks of episiotomy, as well as its impact on breastfeeding practices. Objective: To describe the perceptions and experiences of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding barriers and support in providing breast milk at 7 days postpartum at Airlangga University Hospital, Surabaya City. Method: This research was conducted using qualitative methods with a phenomenological approach/Interpretive Phenomelogical Analysis (IPA). The method for taking subjects used purposive sampling. This research involved a total of 8 informants. The analysis method used is content analysis. Results: It was found that the perception of mothers with a history of episiotomy regarding breastfeeding and their intention to breastfeed was still low. The experience of providing breast milk varies greatly and mothers tend to be physically and emotionally uncomfortable. Social support is very important for mothers' behavior in providing breast milk. There are physical and psychological barriers associated with episiotomy including pain, physical discomfort, anxiety about health and recovery so that breastfeeding behavior becomes disrupted.

Hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 Porous Microplates have been successfully synthesized by incorporation of Ti precursors into SiO2 synthesized from Si precursors in a gelatin-CTAB mixture via the hydrothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDX, nitrogen adsorption-desorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The sample has a surface area of 735 m2/g, pore volume of 0.67 cc/g, and pore diameter of 3.2 nm, according to the results of the characterization of hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates. The transformation of SiO2 microspheres into hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates is revealed by a microparticle size increase of 84% and the transition of Si−O bonds into Ti−O and Si−O as measured by FTIR. The photocatalytic activity of hexagonal TiO2/SiO2 porous microplates resulted in 81.15% photodegradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation within 60 min, which was 21 % better than SiO2.

Studi kinetik yang menggunakan analisis regresi linier mengungkapkan adsorpsi cocok dengan pseudo kinetik orde kedua dengan nilai energi aktivasi adalah 0,441 kJ/mol dan faktor pra-eksponensial adalah 1,21 L2‧mol-2‧min-1 yang mengonfirmasi bahwa silika dari Lumpur Lapindo bisa menjadi alternatif yang baik untuk menghilangkan ibuprofen melalui adsorpsi. Optimization and Ibuprofen Kinetical Adsorption Study of Silica from Lapindo Mud (SLM) by Sol-gel Method. This study successfully applied silica synthesized from Lapindo mud by sol-gel method using P123-white egg as an adsorbent for reducing ibuprofen. An initial concentration, adsorbent weight, pH, and temperature were applied to optimize the main experimental reaction conditions using batch methods. This optimization was based on maximizing ibuprofen removal of the silica from lapindo mud samples. The results show that the two most relevant parameters for ibuprofen adsorption are the adsorption temperature and adsorbent dosage. According to the Kinetics model, the optimum condition for the maximum ibuprofen adsorption was determined during 60 min at ibuprofen concentration of 100 mg/L at 45±0.5 °C (pH 5) with catalyst dosage of 0.03 g, resulting in 94.88, 96.04, 95.57, and 96.65% ibuprofen removal, respectively. The kinetics of the ibuprofen adsorption was also evaluated, and the experimental results were well described using a pseudo-first and pseudo-second-order model. The kinetic studies using linear regression analysis revealed that the adsorption fits pseudo-second-order kinetic with the value of the activation energy of 0.441 kJ/mol and the pre-exponential factor of 1.21 L2‧mol-2‧min-1, confirming that the silica from Lapindo mud is a good alternative for removal ibuprofen through adsorption.

This paper utilizes the Natural Semantic Metalanguage Approach (NSM) to explore the meanings of animal-related taboo names among the Acehnese in Indonesia. Through qualitative interviews with 12 respondents from Langsa City and Peureulak District in East Aceh, the NSM approach reveals two categories of animal taboos. The first, the taboo of swearing, involves offensive language equating individuals with animals like ‘bui’ (pig), ‘asèe’ (dog), ‘pa’ee’ (gecko), ‘muruwa’ (monitor lizard), and ‘lemo’ (cow). The second, the taboo of fear, rooted in cultural beliefs, deems certain animals sacred and prohibits mentioning their names in natural settings, including ‘rimueng’ (tiger), ‘gajah’ (elephant), ‘buya’ (crocodile), ‘badeuk’ (rhinoceros), ‘uleue’ (snake), and ‘tikôh’ (rat). Acehnese use alternative names to show respect, reflecting a belief that respecting nature facilitates harmonious living. The semantic primitive meaning of animals’ taboo for swearing involves a substantive component, a substantive relational of a kind, and bad as an evaluator. Equating humans with these animals is prohibited when their names are used in the context of insulting others. The taboo of fear is attributed to the animals’ perceived holiness and sacredness, with the semantic primitive involving something kind and bad. Acehnese believe these animals possess mystical powers and can hear their names when being called, hence suggesting the use of alternative names for these animals is preferable.

Introduction: Pneumonia continues to be a global issue with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Increased multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial pneumonia, aging populations, chronically ill patients, and inadequate initial antibiotic therapy increase hospitalized pneumonia patients' morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to analyze the microbiological pattern and choose a therapy based on local antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Methods: From January 2020 to December 2022, a retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on hospitalized pneumonia patients at Haji General Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Data from medical records were gathered to illustrate patient features, bacterial culture, and antimicrobial susceptibility tests. This study included 172 patients. In this study, no specific statistical analysis was performed. The data were reported as a percentage (%). Results: The patients were mostly 56-65 years old (36.6%) and male (55.2%). The most common comorbidities were cardiovascular disease (17.3%), and the others were diabetes mellitus (14.0%), cerebral vascular attack (CVA) (10.7%), and coronavirus infection (8.9%). Based on the sputum culture, the bacteria identified were Klebsiella pneumoniae (25.0%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (20.9%), Acinetobacter baumannii (15.7%), and Escherichia coli (11.6%). The most common bacteria isolated from sputum cultures was Klebsiella pneumoniae, which was more susceptible to amikacin and meropenem. Conclusion: Only amikacin was an antibiotic susceptible to four primary pathogens. Rates of resistance to ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone were high, and these empiric antibiotics should be used with caution in these patients.

This study aims to discover patterns in students' argumentative essays in writing class. As is well known, argumentative writing in higher education has been difficult over the years, with students performing poorly compared to other papers required by the curriculum. A qualitative survey was conducted to obtain in-depth answers about students' argumentative essays, and the participants were 28 students. Still, only 12 essays were considered due to the quality of the writing itself. As a result, the students' argumentative writing results in three different looks. The first is that it was discovered that there was good surface structure but poor quality of reasoning; failure to rebut all of the counterarguments; good surface structure but the poor quality of reasoning, particularly with non-aligned rebuttals; good surface structure but poor rebutting undermining the overall quality of reasoning; and essays that conformed well to surface design because they contained two or three reasons. To summarize, students' knowledge of text content is determined by their ability to construct their thoughts based on false facts and, as a result, claim figures and invent experts in making their arguments. Therefore, students need instruction on what they are expected to accomplish in their writing.

Photoactive metal on graphitic mesoporous carbon (GMC-M; M=Fe, Ni, Fe-Ni and Co-Ni) was obtained from hard templating synthesis method while using sucrose as carbon precursor. Sucrose was deposited on metal/SBA-15 followed with carbonization and pyrolysis to obtain readily incorporated Fe, Ni, Fe-Ni and Co-Ni on GMC. GMC-M was characterized using XRD, FTIR, N2 Adsorption Desorption and Raman spectroscopy. All the analytical results showed the mesoporous carbon has a highly ordered graphitic structure which was proven by Raman that shows an increase in the ratio of ID/IG from ordinary GMC to GMC-M (M=Fe, Co, Ni) as a phenomenon of increasing structural regularity. The photodegradation activity of GMC-M was investigated for degradation of methylene blue (MB) in synthetic wastewater. The photodegradation of MB was carried out under ultraviolet light (UV) irradiation and in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). All the catalysts partially degraded methylene blue within 60 min with the efficiency varied 40% to 80% MB, indicating the promotion of GMC into photoactive material with metal addition. Degradation of MB under UV-H2O2 using GMC-Fe system resulted in 96% efficiency than the UV only. The present study showed that the UV-oxidant/catalyst process significantly enhanced the degradation of MB in comparison to direct photolysis by UV.

The lack of attention and interest of students, not wanting to be involved, and not being happy to participate in the learning process can be seen in the attitudes and behavior of students, indicating the low interest in student learning. This is the basis for this research. Therefore this study aims to increase students' interest in learning with multiple modeling techniques through group guidance services. A quantitative approach with the pre-experimental method through the one group pretest posttest design was used in this study. The population used was class VIII students of SMP Negeri 2 Kadatua with a total of 28 students and used a sampling technique through purposive sampling with a sample size of 12 students who had low interest in learning based on the pretest results. The data collection technique uses a learning interest scale and is analyzed through the Wilcoxon test statistical analysis. The result of this research test is an increase in students' interest in learning after giving multiple modeling techniques with a score of 378 or 31.5%. The results of this study were also proven through a significant Wilcoxon test analysis of 0.002, it was concluded that the multiple model technique through group guidance services was effective in increasing student learning interest.

Weekly Iron Folic Acid supplementation/WIFAS program for adolescent girls is an effective strategy for preventing anemia. However, in Indonesia, only 1,4% adhere to taking WIFAS. This study aimed to discover the factors related to adolescent girls’ adherence to consuming WIFAS in East Kalimantan. The design of this study was cross-sectional, using a purposive sampling technique to find a sample of 825 adolescent girls. The research location was the East Kalimantan Provincial Health Office from November 15 to December 15, 2021. The analytical method uses the Chi-Square test and binary logistic regression test. The results showed that the level of adherence to the consumption of iron folic acid for adolescents girl was 17,6%. The factors related to the adherence of adolescent girls in consuming WIFAS in East Kalimantan were the area of residence (p=0,023), hemoglobin check (р=0,0001), access to information on iron-folic acid (p=0,014), received/purchased iron-folic acid (p=0,000), knowledge (p=0,010) and the use of the Cegah Anemia Remaja Indonesia (CERIA) application (р=0,0001). Based on reg log analysis, factors such as having received/purchased iron WIFAS, Hb checks, knowledge, and use of the CERIA application were associated with adolescent girls’ adherence to WIFAS. In conclusion, adolescent girls with regular WIFAS consumption were easier to get WIFA, check Hb, have good knowledge and use the CERIA application. These findings suggest the need to carry out hemoglobin checks on adolescent girls, increase the availability of WIFAS and socialize the use of the CERIA app.

CO2 hydrogenation as sustainable route for generation of value-added carbon feedstock is identified as green pathway for mitigation of greenhouse gasses emission. CO2 methanation is one of the promising solutions, which only requires reactions at atmospheric pressure while utilizing metal catalysts to overcome kinetic limitations. Metal catalysts can be promoted to alter reducibities, CO2 adsorption capacities, and H2CO2 dissociation potential. The role of metal promoter such as rare earth elements (Ce, Mn, Co, and La) and alkali and alkali earth metal (Li, Na, Ca, and K) will be discussed within the scope of CO2 methanation. The aspect of catalysts modification towards hydrogen dissociation potential and surface oxygen vacancy will be emphasized to enhance selectivity for methane. Another pathway for CO2 hydrogenation is via further conversion into longer chain molecules such as olefin and ethanol. The benefit of metal promoter will be discussed in this review on the effect towards promoting CC coupling reaction for producing longer chain alcohol and light olefin. The strategies to develop active catalysts for the coupling reaction of CC will be emphasized with the promoter introduction. For the hydrogenation of CO2 to longer chain molecules, the main metal catalysts Ni, Pd, Rh, and Co, and their modification with promoter such as Ga, Cu, and alkali metal Na, K will be discussed. A critical analysis of the CO2 methanation mechanism and further CC reaction to longer chain molecules will be discussed, particularly the effect of metal promoters to stabilize the intermediate and maneuver the catalytic reaction pathway into the desired products.

Mesoporous Silica with a large mesopore channel was synthesized using the sol-gel method for dye adsorption. A dual template consisting of P123 and gelatin at different ratios was employed in the sol-gel synthesis to enhance surface area and mesopore diameter. Gelatin is a green pore directing agent that strengthens P123 thermal stability during the calcination of silicate gel. Optimization of P123:gelatin ratio to 1:0.02 increased the surface area of mesoporous silica to 561.9 m2/g and expanded the pore diameter to 10 nm. The large pore diameter and surface area enhanced methylene blue adsorption capacity to 363.63 mg/g. The adsorption of methylene blue on mesoporous silica follows the pseudo second-order kinetic and the Langmuir model. Regeneration studies using thermal and chemical treatments exhibited the potential of mesoporous silica as an adsorbent for multiple adsorption-desorption of dyes.

Pollution by palm oil mill effluent (POME) is of great concern in Indonesia. POME pollution of the water can adversely affect aquatic organisms, especially fish. This study aims to analyse the effect of POME on the haematology of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), including red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), haemoglobin (Hb), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH), Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) and haematocrit. A random experimental design was used (CRD) consisting of four treatments and five replications, including a Control (0% POME): Treatment A (10% of LC50-96 hours: 1.565 mg l−1), Treatment B (15% of LC50-96 hours: 2.347 mg l−1) and Treatment C (20% of LC50-96 hours: 3,130 mg l−1). The analysis of blood of fish exposed to POME for 15, 30 and 45 days revealed significant effects (p < 0.05) only on Hb and MCH on day 15 and WBC on day 30. This study indicates that exposure to POME can reduce the WBC value of tilapia recorded on day 30 in treatment C to a level lower than that recorded in other treatments. The Hb value recorded for tilapia exposed to POME on day 15 in treatment C was significantly higher than in the other treatments. Furthermore, POME caused a significant decrease in MCH recorded on day 15, with the lowest value recorded in treatment A. Based on the results of this study, POME can cause a significant decrease in WBC recorded on day 30 and MCH on day 15 and increase in Hb on day 15 in tilapia.

In this work, low iron concentration incorporated on mesoporous silica with gelatin co-template (Fe2O3/GSBA-15) has been successfully synthesized via the ultrasonication method. The physical, chemical, and structural properties of the samples were investigated with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope- Energy Dispersive X-Ray (SEM-EDX), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), and N2 adsorption-desorption. Results showed good distribution of low concentration of iron oxide on the gelatin mesoporous silica GSBA-15. Elemental and surface analysis presented that iron oxide incorporation with higher concentration exhibited lower surface area due to the blocking pore. The highest photocatalytic activity on the methylene blue dye degradation was achieved at 10% Fe2O3/GSBA-15 with ~80% efficiency. The results revealed that the photocatalytic activity of Fe2O3/GSBA-15 enhanced with the presence of iron oxide. Copyright © 2022 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Gunningite has been successfully synthesized using the soft template method with the Pluronic F127-gelatin template. Gunningite was calcined at diverse temperatures of 500, 600, and 700 °C for 12 h and characterized by XRD, SEM, and FTIR. A UV-Vis Spectrophotometer measured the adsorption capacity of Gunningite against ibuprofen. The XRD results showed that the crystal sizes of Gunningite decreased from 35.41 to 28.31 nm with the increasing calcination temperature from 500 to 700 °C. Besides, the crystallinity degrees also increased from 49.94% to 56.13% as calcination temperature increased from 500 to 700 °C. The Gunningite formed aggregates in the form of tiny particles that merge and experience agglomeration. The FTIR spectra of the Gunningite samples demonstrated the functional groups –OH, Zn-OH, Zn-O-Zn, and gunningite vibrations. The maximum adsorption capacities of Gunningite to adsorb ibuprofen were 233.161 mg g−1 (500 °C), 219.543 mg g−1 (600 °C), and 227.033 mg g-1 (700 °C). The kinetic model of Gunningite on the ibuprofen adsorption followed the kinetic model of Ho and McKay.

Abstract Mesoporous silica NSG had been synthesized while employing gelatin as a natural template to successfully increase the particle size and expand the pore diameter of NSG. All silica samples exhibited a similar XRD pattern with a broad peak centred at 2θ = 22.9°, as the characteristic of amorphous silica. FTIR results showed that the reduction of Si–O–Si symmetric stretching vibrations at 1075 cm−1 was due to the use of a high percentage of gelatin. Moreover, TEM analysis displayed the mesoporous channels in the form of a honeycomb structure with a diameter of ± 6 nm. Gelatin enhanced the surface area of silica from 467 to 510 m2/g, the pore volume from 0.64 to 0.72 cc/g and expanded the pore diameter from 3.5 nm to 6.0 nm. The expansion of the ordered mesopores with the increase of P123: gelatin ratios was elucidated by the pore size distribution. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) was improved on mesoporous silica with an expanded pore dimension to give 168 mg/g adsorption capacity within 70 min.

This research examines the way gender based double standards represented in Taylor Swift’s song namely “The Man”. The objects of the research are the song lyrics and music video of Taylor Swift’s “The Man”. The research applies social semiotic analysis theoretical framework. The song lyric is analysed using the ideational metafunction of Halliday, while the music video using the representational meaning of Kress and Leeuwen’s Visual Grammar. The result shows that, in the lyrics, the portrayals of gender-based double standards mostly realized through the use of relational and material processes. The relational processes relates man with attributes such as “more of a boss”, “fearless leader”, “alpha type”, and “Leo”(Leonardo Di Caprio), while the material actualizes man’s action such as “play the field”, “hustled” and “put in the work”. Additionally, the Music Video is dominated by reactional processes that reveal people’s positive reaction towards man’s action and followed by symbolic attribute process that represents men in a more central, active and agentive manner and women in a marginal, passive, and object positions. Man is also portrayed as successful leader, greatest dad, rich man, while women are mostly seen laying down, wearing sexy attire and as object’s to man’s pleasure.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been integrated into the surface of mesoporous silica (SMG) synthesized via the hydrothermal approach and a dual template CTAB-Gelatin. XRD, nitrogen adsorption, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and UV–Vis DR spectroscopy were performed to evaluate a 1 wt% TiO2/SMG material. After titania incorporation, the addition of gelatin during the synthesis of SMG increases the pore volume to 0.76 cc/g. The expansion of the silica pores is caused by the development of TiO2 crystal grains on the mesoporous silica-gelatin. An increase in the gelatin-CTAB to mesoporous silica weight ratio modifies the surface area, pore size, and particle size without compromising the meso-structure. In this research, the TiO2/SMG composite demonstrated much greater photodegradability for methylene blue (MB) than the TiO2/mesoporous silica sample without gelatin. The experimental results indicate that the photocatalytic activity of methylene blue from SMG titania/silica samples is reliant on the adsorption ability of the composite and the photocatalytic activity of titania, with optimal activity from samples with the highest surface area and pore volume, which directly increase the Ti: Si ratio and decrease the photodegradability of the composite when the ratio is too high or too low.

This study focuses on investigating the main motivation of students in the English club and testing the level of motivation based on the aspects of learning motivation that have been developed by Worell and Stilwell. This study aims to reveal the difference in motivation between on-campus clubs and English clubs using quantitative descriptive methods on the subjects of students in the second semester to the final semester of the English Department. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using a non-parametric test, Mann-Whitney. This study indicates no significant difference between student learning motivation on campus and the English Club from the average of six aspects of learning motivation. However, the English club was superior in terms of feedback and goals as the primary motivation for students. From these results, it is known that the English club contributes well to the mental attributes of students in practicing English proficiency.

Political ethics is needed in all conditions of a country, whether they are normal, chaotic, or under control. To discuss authority in chaotic circumstances, it needs political ethics, in which every political action requires legitimacy based on values, norms, and laws. The discussion on political ethics is related to law and state power. The role of law is as a normative community institution, while power takes a role as an effective community organizing institution. The questions in this research are how do political ethics take a role in creating a modern democratic state?And what is the form of political ethics in the human political dimension? The research method used is a literature study approach. This study concludes that the human political dimension is a dimension of society as a whole. In terms of political ethics, the human political dimension can be studied in three cases. Those are humans as social beings, humans with their social dimensions, and the political dimensions of human life. Democracy is understood that state power is in the hands of the people. Thus, the people have the freedom to speak up their opinion in public. Power is needed to determine that humans obey the norms in the law. This research suggests that it is important to pay attention to the balance between the law and power to create a modern democratic state.

Gelatin mesoporous silica SBA-15 (GSBA-15) with rod-like morphology has been successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method using P-123:gelatin, then aged at 90 °C for 24 h and calcined at 550 °C for 5 h. GSBA-15 was impregnated with ZnO amounts of 1; 5; and 10 wt% to obtain Zn/GSBA-15. Samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). The efficiency of methylene blue photodegradation was determined by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The FTIR result is functional groups of ZnO/GSBA-15, those were Si−O−Si, −OH, Zn−OH, and Zn−O. The morphology of ZnO/GSBA-15 was rod-like, and it consisted of silica, oxygen, and Zn. The surface area and pore volume of GSBA-15 declined (surface area from 520.8 to 351.9 m2/g and pore volume from 0.707 to 0.564 cm3/g) after ZnO impregnation due to pore blocking. At the same time, increasing pore diameter (from 2.82 nm to 3.19 nm) and crystallite size (from 5.1 nm to 12.6 nm) were observed due to the overlapping of ZnO-Silica particles. The increasing incorporation of ZnO on the silica GSBA-15 framework increases the photodegradation performance from 88.76% to 94.90% due to the high surface area, functional group rich, and dispersion of ZnO active sites.

Background Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) has a highly diverse clinical course and prognosis. Predicting functional outcomes is needed in order to give appropriate treatment and counseling. Erasmus Guillaine-Barre Syndrome Outcome Score (EGOS) is simple scoring based on age onset, pre existing diarhea and GDS score obtained from medical record and physical findings that can be used by clinician to predict the functional outcomes of the child with GBS.. Objective To assess the usefulness of EGOS to predict functional outcomes of GBS patients. Methods A retrospective cohort study to see the functional outcomes which is walking or not walking of children with GBS aged 6 months to 18 years hospitalized in RSUP Dr. Sardjito, Yogyakarta from 2014 to 2019 were enrolled by a purposive sampling method. Bivariate and logistic regression multivariate backward method analyses were used to assess for possible correlations between predictive factors and functional outcomes in GBS patients. Results A total of 33 patients were enrolled and analyzed. After six months of weakness, 57.1% of patients with high EGOS (> 4) had poor functional outcomes according to the Hughes scale, scoring to asses functional outcomes . Patient with high EGOS (> 4) had greater risk of poor functional outcomes compared to patients with lower EGOS (≤ 4) (P=0.006; OR 33.3; 95%CI 2.74 to 404.94). Poor functional outcomes of GBS patients was not influenced by preceding upper respiratory tract infection, cranial nerve involvement, use of ventilator, autonomic dysfunction, immunotherapy, complicating disease, rehabilitation, or nutritional status. Conclusion High EGOS of >4 is a predictor for poor functional outcomes in children with GBS.
