ARIES App in Academic Writing Class: Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) Analysis
No full textThe research aims to investigate ARIES app acceptance in academic writing class. In the university, one of the skills that must be learned is academic writing. Most jobs require strong academic writing skill, lecturers are obligated to equip students to become professional writers to enter the future career. The various applications provide benefits for students, the fact that students spend more time in existing technology and show mastery of information technology provide opportunities for lecturers to motivate students who have no motivation to write. Lecturers have implemented ARIES (Assisted Revision In English Style) to improve students academic writing, the researchers explore Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which is intended to analyze the acceptance of students on information system. The total samples are 25 students from English education department Universitas Islam Makassar. The data were collected through questionnaire and interview. The finding shows that there was a positive response to the acceptance of Aries App in all contexts, Aries App provided new atmosphere for students in academic writing. Additionally, from interview, students emphasized that using the Aries App made students possible to complete academic writing given by the lecturer anywhere and anytime. In the conclusion, the students acceptance of Aries App relates to behavior performed by students.  
ARIES 2018 : infrastructure, innovation, outreach
No full textThis article has two outreach aims. It concisely summarizes the main research and technical efforts in the EC H2020 ARIES Integrating Activity – Accelerator Research and Innovation for European Science and Society [1] during the period 2017/2018. ARIES is a continuation of CARE, TIARA and EuCARD projects [2-3]. The article also tries to show these results as an encouragement for local physics and engineering, research and technical communities to participate actively in such important European projects. According to the author’s opinion this participation may be much bigger [4-27]. All the needed components to participate – human, material and infrastructural are there [4,7]. So why the results are not satisfying as they should be? The major research subjects of ARIES are: new methods of particles acceleration including laser, plasma and particle beam interactions, new materials and accelerator components, building new generations of accelerators, energy efficiency and management of large accelerator systems, innovative superconducting magnets, high field and ultra-high gradient magnets, cost lowering, system miniaturization, promotion of innovation originating from accelerator research, industrial applications, and societal implications. Two institutions from Poland participate in ARIES – these are Warsaw University of Technology and Institute of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology in Warsaw. There are not present some of the key institutes active in accelerator technology in Poland. Let this article be a small contribution why Poland, a country of such big research potential, contributes so modestly to the European accelerator infrastructural projects? The article bases on public and internal documents of ARIES project, including the EU Grant Agreement and P1 report. The views presented in the paper are only by the author and not necessarily by the ARIES
Perspectives and Challenges of Decentralized Identities in the Blockchain era
No full textopenIl presente documento descrive il lavoro svolto durante il periodo di stage, della durata di circa 276 ore, dal laureando Nicola Lazzarin presso l’azienda Athesys s.r.l, con periodo dal 06/07/2023 al 23/07/2023.
Il paradigma delle identità digitali è fondamentale nell’era digitale, ma spesso sottolinea l’inefficienza dei tradizionali sistemi centralizzati.
L’emergere delle Self-sovereign identity (SSI) offre un nuovo approccio promettente per migliorare la gestione delle identità digitali e delle Verifiable Credentials (VC).
Tuttavia, l’attuazione pratica di soluzioni basate su SSI, in particolare utilizzando il framework Hyperledger Aries, rimane una sfida complessa e impegnativa.
La presente tesi trae ispirazione dalla rilevanza delle identità digitali nella società odierna e dalla crescente necessità di soluzioni SSI.
Tuttavia, essa si concentra su una prospettiva critica basata sull’esperienza personale dell’autore, che, nonostante gli sforzi, non è riuscito a pieno a completare l’implementazione di un sistema di scambio di VC utilizzando il framework Hyperledger Aries JavaScript.
Il principale contributo di questa tesi è rappresentato dalla realizzazione parziale di un Proof of Concept (PoC) per un sistema di scambio di VC basato sul framework Hyperledger Aries JavaScript.
Questo PoC offre una base incompleta per ulteriori sviluppi nel campo delle SSI. Inoltre, questa ricerca fornisce una documentazione dettagliata sul processo di implementazione, comprese le scelte di progettazione e le tecnologie utilizzate, per agevolare ulteriori studi e implementazioni nel settore delle identità digitali decentralizzate.
In conclusione, questo tirocinio ha fornito un’opportunità di apprendimento e applicazione pratica di concetti avanzati nel campo delle identità digitali e delle credenziali verificabili.This paper describes the work done during the internship period, lasting about 276 hours, by graduate student Nicola Lazzarin at the company Athesys s.r.l, with a period from 06/07/2023 to 23/07/2023.
The paradigm of digital identities is crucial in the digital age, but often underscores the inefficiency of traditional centralized systems.
The emergence of Self-sovereign identities (SSI) offers a promising new approach to improve the management of digital identities and Verifiable Credentials (VC).
However, the practical implementation of SSI-based solutions, particularly using the Hyperledger Aries framework, remains a complex and demanding challenge.
This thesis draws inspiration from the relevance of digital identities in today's society and the growing need for SSI solutions.
However, it focuses on a critical perspective based on the personal experience of the author, who, despite his efforts, was not fully successful in completing the implementation of a VC exchange system using the Hyperledger Aries JavaScript framework.
The main contribution of this thesis is the partial implementation of a Proof of Concept (PoC) for a VC exchange system based on the Hyperledger Aries JavaScript framework.
This PoC provides an incomplete basis for further development in the field of SSI. In addition, this research provides detailed documentation of the implementation process, including design choices and technologies used, to facilitate further studies and implementations in the area of decentralized digital identities.
In conclusion, this internship provided an opportunity for learning and practical application of advanced concepts in the field of digital identities and verifiable credentials

No full textKomplikasi penyakit akibat pola makan yang tidak seimbang, seperti diabetes mellitus dapat dicegah dengan membatasi makanan berkalori tinggi, mengontrol berat badan, dan rutin menjaga gaya hidup dan pola makan seimbang. Salah satu olahan pangan yang dapat menjadi selingan rendah kalori yaitu puding dengan variasi popping boba (PB) berbahan dasar okra. PB dibuat dengan teknik reverse spherification untuk menjaga kandungan bioaktif pangan. Tujuan dari penelitian yaitu mempelajari pengaruh variasi popping boba dalam puding berbahan dasar okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.) terhadap kandungan gizi, total fenol, dan kapasitas antioksidan. Metode yang dilakukan yaitu analisis total fenol (Folin-Ciocalteu), metode DPPH, uji organoleptik, analisis proksimat, dan pembobotan untuk menentukan formula terpilih. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa total fenol dan AEAC pada F1 (variasi PB 0 g okra) sebesar 154.09 mg GAE/100 gram dan 3.54 mg vitamin C/100 g, F2 (variasi PB 3 g okra) sebesar 126.08 mg GAE/100 g dan 2.94 mg vitamin C/100 g, F3 (variasi PB 6 g okra) sebesar 121.48 mg GAE/100 g dan 2.73 mg vitamin C/100 g. F1 memiliki total fenol dan AEAC paling baik, sedangkan F3 memiliki IC50 paling baik (4.49 x 10-4 mg/mL). Variasi popping boba tidak memberikan perbedaan yang nyata terhadap kandungan total fenol, kapasitas antioksidan, AEAC, dan IC50. Kandungan energi pada 100 gram produk sebesar 22.55−32.88 kkal, serta kandungan lemak sebesar 0.02−0.06 gram. Oleh karena itu, produk puding dengan variasi PB dapat diklaim sebagai snack rendah kalori dan bebas lemak
I.FAST and EURO-LABS Perfect Legacy of ARIES
No full textCERN hosted on May 2-6, 2022, the first annual meeting of the H2020 I.FAST project to support innovation in the field of science and technology of particle accelerators. The project has a completely different character from its predecessors in this area of research. It was approved for implementation a year ago by the EC with the highest marks. It is worth looking at why projects such as ARIES, I.FAST and EURO-LABS are so easily accepted. This alleged ease of acceptance is an appearance. Behind the acceptance, in conditions of extremely tough competition, is the excellent organization of the submitting community that has been developed over the years, as well as the perfect, well-thought-out preparation of the material. The author, a participant in the ARIES and other EC projects in the field of particle accelerator science and technology, presents here, on specific examples, his subjective opinions on how to prepare materials for high-output projects for the EC FP. The author hopes that these remarks may be useful in the process of submitting research projects from Poland in international cooperation to the EC in the best possible way. The science and technology of particle accelerators is an excellent area of showing such examples because it is interdisciplinary and includes the following components: building of research infrastructure, applied physics, mechatronics, materials engineering, automation and robotics, electronics, ICT, innovation, cooperation with industry, and social

No full textSIMULATION-BASED LEARNING IN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION TO DEVELOP STUDENT EMPATHY ON PEACE EDUCATION Aries Musnandar
Abstract This study proposes an effective learning model to increase the quality of students’ empathy through simulation-based learning. The student’s noble behaviour as the objective religious subject in schools can be reached by fostering empathy. But, conservative teaching techniques such as lecturing, presentation and one-way communication are used by most teachers. In contrast, the simulation based-learning model for religious education could involve the affective domain which is appropriate to be used for behaviour change. Peace education in religious education subjects can be elaborated proportionally using simulation based-learning for developing the empathy of student as an important factor to have better peace education results. By using qualitative method, author conducted interview, observation and literature review for further analysis of this study. Research results confirmed that teacher who apply simulation based learning as a suitable method to enhance empathy for elevated tolerant behavior of students which is in line with peace education view. Keywords: Simulation-Based Learning, Empathy, Peace Education, Religious Education

Molekularna filogenija i karakterizacija mundri ovce (Ovis aries) u Pakistanu sekvenciranjem mitohondrijskog citokroma b i podjedinice I citokrom oksidaze
No full textThe main focus of this research is to determine the molecular phylogeny and characterization of Mundri Sheep (Ovis aries) through sequencing of mitochondrial Cytochrome b and Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI). This sheep breed appears morphologically different from other local sheep breeds of Pakistan. The current research is carried out to appraise the status of Mundri sheep whether it is aa different breed from other breeds or not. Blood samples of Mundri sheep were collected from Livestock Experiment Station, (LES) Fazilpur in district Rajanpur (Punjab). DNA was isolated and subjected to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) for amplification of Cytochrome b and COI genes using appropriate primers. PCR products were sequenced and analyzed by MEGA X software. The phylogeny analysis categorized Ovis aries including Mundri sheep into three and two groups for Cytochrome b and COI genes respectively. It showed Mundri sheep as a separate group and thus as a separate breed from all other local sheep breeds. Hence the study validates based on Cytochrome b and COI that Mundri sheep is a distinctive breed from the rest of the local sheep breed.Glavni je cilj ovog istraživanja bio odrediti molekularnu filogeniju i karakterizaciju mundri ovce (Ovis aries) sekvenciranjem mitohondrijskog citokroma b i podjedinice I citokrom oksidaze (COI). Ova se pasmina ovaca morfološki čini drugačijom od ostalih lokalnih pasmina ovaca u Pakistanu. Ovo je istraživanje provedeno da bi se procijenio status mundri ovce, da bismo mogli odrediti radi li se o pasmini drugačijoj od ostalih pasmina. Uzorci krvi mundri ovce prikupljeni su iz Stanice za eksperimente na stoci (engl. Livestock Experiment Station – LES) Fazilpur u okrugu Rajanpur (Punjab). DNK je izolirana i podvrgnuta lančanoj reakciji polimerazom (PCR) zbog pojačanja citokrom B i COI gena uporabom prikladnih primera. PCR proizvodi su sekvencirani i analizirani pomoću MEGA X softvera. Filogenetska analiza kategorizirala je Ovis aries uključujući mundri ovcu, u tri i dvije skupine za citokrom b, odnosno COI gene. Istraživanje je pokazalo da je mundri ovca posebna skupina i time zasebna pasmina ovaca
u odnosu na ostale lokalne pasmine. Na temelju citokroma b i COI, naša je studija potvrdila da je mundri ovca zasebna pasmina i da se razlikuje od ostalih lokalne pasmine ovaca
Efek Hepatoprotektor Air Kelapa (Cocos nucifera L) dan Asam Folat terhadap Gambaran Histopatologi Hati Tikus Wistar Betina Hamil (Rattus norvegicus) yang Diinduksi Karbamat
No full textKarbamat adalah insektisida dengan mekanisme kerja menghambat enzim
asetilkolinestrase (AChE). Karbamat berpotensi membahayakan kesehatan
manusia karena sifatnya yang sangat mudah diabsorbsi oleh tubuh. Selain itu, sifat
lipofilik dari karbamat sangat mempermudah interaksinya dengan membran sel
dan menyebabkan gangguan pada sebagian besar organ visceral manusia,
terutama hati sebagai organ metabolisme berbagai bahan kimia yang masuk ke
dalam tubuh.
Hambatan terhadap AChE akan menyebabkan pembentukan radikal bebas
yang berlebihan dalam tubuh sehingga menimbulkan stres oksidatif dan
menyebabkan peroksidasi lipid pada sel-sel tubuh, termasuk sel hepatosit pada
hati. Penelitian mengenai perubahan aktivitas detoksifikasi pada hati akibat
paparan zat xenobiotik selama kehamilan menyebabkan penurunan sitokrom P450
1A2 (CYP1A2), hal tersebut juga akan menyebabkan peningkatan radikal bebas
dan dapat merusak sel hati. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan suatu hepatoprotektor untuk
mencegah kerusakan yang lebih parah. Air kelapa menurut penelitian Barlina
(2004) memiliki kandungan antioksidan yang dapat menetralisir radikal bebas
dalam tubuh. Sementara menurut penelitian Roncales et al. tahun 2004 asam folat
dapat mendorong terjadinya perbaikan morfologi dari sel hati, air kelapa dan asam
folat memiliki potensi untuk mencegah terjadinya kerusakan pada hati.
Jenis penelitian ini merupakan true experimental dengan rancangan post
test only control group design. Metode pengambilan sampel yang digunakan yaitu
simple random sampling dengan jumlah sampel ditentukan menggunakan rumus
Federer. Hewan coba penelitian ini menggunakan tikus wistar betina hamil (Rattus
novergicus) yang dikelompokkan menjadi 4 kelompok secara acak. Kelompokkelompok tersebut adalah kelompok kontrol normal (K) yang hanya diberi
akuades selama 14 hari, kelompok perlakuan yang diberi karbamat 10 mg/kgBB
selama 14 hari (P1), kelompok perlakuan yang diberi karbamat 10 mg/kgBB dan
air kelapa secara ad libitum yang diberikan selama 14 hari (P2), serta kelompok
perlakuan yang diberi karbamat 10 mg/kgBB dan asam folat (P3). Pemberian
karbamat dan asam folat dilakukan per oral menggunakan sonde lambung,
sementara air kelapa diberikan secara ad libitum.
Pada akhir penelitian tikus dikorbankan dan diambil seluruh organ hatinya.
Selanjutnya dilakukan pembuatan preparat histologi dari organ hati tersebut
dengan pewarnaan HE, kemudian diperiksa menggunakan mikroskop cahaya
dengan pembesaran 400x. Data yang didapat berupa nilai skoring histopatologi
hati dalam bentuk data rasio. Data rata-rata skoring histopatologi hati dan standar
deviasi tiap kelompok ialah kontrol normal (K) 1,0 + 0,020; kelompok perlakuan
1 (P1) 2,8 + 0,207; kelompok perlakuan 2 (P2) 2,8 + 0,194; kelompok perlakuan 3 (P3) 2,6 + 0,257. Hasil skoring histopatologi hati selanjutnya dilakukan analisis
data menggunakan One Way ANOVA dan dilanjutkan uji Post Hoc LSD. Hasil uji
One Way ANOVA menunjukan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan minimal pada
dua kelompok yang dibandingkan (p < 0,05). Hasil uji Post hoc LSD menunjukan
bahwa kelompok yang mendapatkan dosis karbamat 10 mg/kgBB memiliki
gambaran histopatologi yang mengalami kerusakan, terdapat perbedaan signifikan
dengan kelompok K dan P3 (p < 0,05), akan tetapi tidak terdapat perbedaan
signifikan ketika dibandingkan dengan kelompok P2 (p=0,826), hal tersebut
menunjukkan pemberian air kelapa tidak terbukti dapat mencegah terjadinya
kerusakan sel hati. Pada kelompok P3 terdapat perbedaan signifikan ketika
dibandingkan dengan semua kelompok (p < 0,05), menunjukkan pemberian asam
folat dapat mencegah kerusakan sel hati, dibandingkan dengan perlakuan
pemberian air kelapa. Melalui uji analisis data yang dilakukan pada penelitian ini,
dapat disimpulkan bahwa air kelapa (Cocos nucifera L.) tidak terbukti dapat
mencegah terjadinya kerusakan pada hati tikus yang diinduksi karbamat,
sementara pemberian asam folat dapat mencegah kerusakan sel hati, ditinjau dari
gambaran histopatologi
