UV-Crosslinked Electrospun Zein/PEO Fibroporous Membranes for Wound Dressing
No full textElectrospun
zein membranes are suitable for various biomedical
applications. A UV-crosslinked electrospun membrane of a zein/PEO
blend for wound healing application was explored in this work. The
improvement in mechanical properties of the membrane after UV crosslinking
was attributed to the change in protein conformation from an α-helix
to a β-sheet. The circular dichroism (CD) spectra and FTIR spectra
confirmed this conformational change. XRD analysis was shown to prove
the amorphous nature of polymer blends with specific broad peaks at
2θ = 9° and 20°. The water vapor transmission rate
(WVTR) of the membrane was found to be in the range of 1500–2000
g m–2 day–1, which was well suited
with that of commercially available wound dressing material. Enough
number of available functional groups like thiol, amino, and hydroxyl
groups supplement a blood clotting index (BCI) to the matrix, causing
99% BCI within 4 min. A 91% cell viability result in the MTT assay
with human dermal fibroblast cells confirmed the noncytotoxicity of
the membrane. Tripeptides produced after the thermolysin-based hydrolysis
of zein caused inhibition of TGF β1 expression and thus increased
fibroblast and collagen production. The membrane stimulated 54% more
collagen production compared to control cells at day 2 and caused
84% wound closure in human dermal fibroblast cells, which were desirable
index markers of a potential wound care material
REDESAIN IDENTITAS MEDIA KOMUNIKASI VISUAL PADA MEDIA SOSIAL INSTAGRAM RESMI UNIVERSITAS PENDIDIKAN INDONESIA
No full textMedia sosial pada zaman yang serba cepat ini telah mengalahkan media cetak dan bahkan menjadi hal yang penting bagi kehidupan sehari-hari, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) yang mempunyai pengikut sebanyak 82,8 ribu pengikut di Instagram (Desember 2022) mengabaikan elemen visual yang penting bagi para audiens untuk mendapatkan informasi atau berita faktual yang berkaitan dengan aktivitas di dalam dunia pendidikan dan kemahasiswaan, yang berdampak pada kurangnya persebaran informasi secara satu pintu. Karena belum mempunyai citra yang kuat UPI sulit dikenali oleh audiens. maka dari itu, dalam skripsi penciptaan ini penulis meredesain identitas media komunikasi visual pada media sosial Instagram resmi Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. Dalam proses meredesain penulis menggunakan metode design thinking melalui beberapa tahap yang dimulai dengan emphatize, define, idea, prototype, dan test. Hasil dari penciptaan ini adalah panduan visual untuk media sosial Instagram resmi Universitas Pendikan Indonesia, dengan mengacu kepada unsur-unsur dan prinsip-prinsip desain melalui pendekatan design thinking. Hasilnya penulis menggunakan hal-hal yang dekat dengan UPI sebagai inspirasi dari visual kunci yang akan digunakan sebagai identitas media komunikasi visual untuk memperkuat citra UPI kepada para audiens, dengan memadukan gagasan yang didapat dari proses mind mapping seperti gedung Isola, Art Deco, retroisme, merakyat hingga kliping dan mading penulis mendapatkan visualisasi yang unik namun tetap berada pada jalur UPI dan pendidikan, yang bisa merepresentasikan UPI kepada audiens, penulis juga membuat rekomendasi brand persona yang menghasilkan tata bahasa yang sesuai dengan karakteristik UPI sebagai Institusi Pendidikan yang mungkin bisa ditindaklanjuti atau didalami oleh peneliti lainya sehingga tujuan besar dari merapikan saluran komunikasi dan memperkuat citra UPI akan terus berlanjut dan berkembang seiring dengan kemajuan zaman.
Social media in this fast-paced era has outperformed print media and has even become important for everyday life, the Indonesian University of Education (UPI), which has 82.8 thousand followers on Instagram (December 2022) ignores important visual elements for the audience to obtain factual information or news relating to activities in the world of education and student affairs, which has an impact on the lack of one-stop information dissemination. Because they don't have a strong image, UPI is difficult to recognize by the audience. therefore, in this creation thesis the author redesigned the identity of visual communication media on the official Instagram social media of the Indonesian University of Education. In the process of redesigning the author uses the design thinking method through several stages starting with empathize, define, idea, prototype, and test. The result of this creation is a visual guide for the official Instagram social media of the Indonesian Education University, with reference to design elements and principles through a design thinking approach. As a result, the author uses things that are close to UPI as inspiration from the key visuals that will be used as visual communication media identities to strengthen UPI's image to the audience, by combining ideas obtained from the mind mapping process such as the Isola building, Art Deco, retroism, populist so that the author's clippings and magazines get a unique visualization but still on the path of UPI and education, which can represent UPI to the audience, the author also makes brand persona recommendations that produce grammar that is in accordance with the characteristics of UPI as an Educational Institution that might be followed up or explored by other researchers so that the big goal of tidying up communication channels and strengthening UPI's image will continue and develop along with the times

Voices of Resistance: A Relocation of Fanon through the Works of Tsitsi Dangarembga
No full textThe writings of Tsitsi Dangarembga embody the voices of multiple theorists that raise the consciousness explored by psychoanalysis, feminist studies and resistance literature. The title of this thesis gestures toward an attempt to engage in a critical recuperation of Fanon's work initiated (for me) by the title of Dangarembga's novel, Nervous Conditions, and further in the sequel, The Book of Not. The thesis project draws on postcolonial, psychoanalytical and feminist studies as they relate to the protagonist in both of Dangarembga's novels, Tambu. The general movement of the thesis confronts external and internal manifestations of racism and sexism as perpetuated by colonialism (past, neo, & post) and patriarchy. Dangarembga's rhetorical creations of Nervous Conditions and The Book of Not express a humanist interrogation of the effects of colonization and patriarchy. Fanon pushes for national, as well as psychological, liberation from colonial rule through fighting; intellectually and physically. Dangarembga's texts further exemplify a humanist positioning of Fanon's works by exploring themes of national consciousness and psychoanalysis within the narrative voice. While the narratives in Nervous Conditions and The Book of Not are symbolic of the voices of the native intellectual struggling and shifting to be heard, Dangarembga, as an author, is the literal native intellectual. The psychological production of Tambu is the reproduction of the author's subjectivity, as she journeys deep into the very "bowels" of her people (Wretched of the Earth 149)
