ISOLASI DAN KARAKTERISASI SENYAWA METABOLIT SEKUNDER SERTA UJI BIOAKTIVITAS DARI EKSTRAK Salix tetrasperma Roxb DAN Pometia pinnata Forst
No full textAktivitas antioksidan beberapa ekstrak dari bagian daun, kulit batang, dan akar Salix tetrasperma Roxb diuji dengan metode 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) dan diketahui bahwa ekstrak metanol kulit batang memiliki aktivitas antioksidan tertinggi dengan konsentrasi yang dibutuhkan untuk menginhibisi 50% radikal (IC50): 6,85 ± 0,05 μg/mL. Pemisahan dan pemurnian ekstrak etil asetat dengan metode kromatografi kolom dan rekristalisasi diperoleh enam senyawa murni (1-6) dari kulit batang dan dua senyawa murni (7-8) dari daun S. tetrasperma Roxb. Struktur senyawa hasil isolasi dikarakterisasi menggunakan spektroskopi Infra-red (IR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) dan Mass Spectroscopy (MS). Delapan senyawa hasil isolasi dari S. tetrasperma Roxb diidentifikasi sebagai β-sitosterol glukosida (senyawa 1; 50 mg), asam 3,4-dihidroksibenzoat (senyawa 2; 3 mg), 2-(hidroksimetil)fenol (senyawa 3; 6 mg), 1,3-dihidroksifenol (senyawa 4; 4 mg), 3-(hidroksimetil)fenol (senyawa 5; 10 mg), 4-metilbenzaldehid (senyawa 6; 3 mg), 1,2-dihidroksibenzoat (senyawa 7; 70 mg) dan 3’,4’,5,7-tetrahidroksi flavon (senyawa 8; 40 mg). Senyawa 2, 4, 5, 6, dan 8 baru pertama kali dilaporkan keberadaanya dari S.tetrasperma Roxb.
Adapun hasil pengujian aktivitas inhibisi enzim α-glukosidase dari fraksi daun Pometia pinnata menunjukkan bahwa fraksi etil asetat memiliki aktivitas inhibisi yang paling tinggi (95,48 ± 0,2%) dibandingkan fraksi n-heksana dan diklorometana pada konsentrasi 100 μg/mL. Dari fraksi etil asetat tersebut diperoleh dua senyawa murni yaitu kaempferol-3-O-rhamnosida (senyawa 9; 146,5 mg) dan quercetin-3-O-rhamnosida (senyawa 10; 17,4 mg). Berdasarkan hasil karakterisasi Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-TOFMS) didapatkan bahwa senyawa 9 dan 10 adalah komponen utama fraksi aktif. Studi structure-activity relationship (SAR) dilakukan pada senyawa flavonol dan turunannya (9-16) untuk mengetahui pengaruh substituen terhadap aktivitas inhibisi enzim α-glukosidase. Hasil SAR menunjukkan bahwa senyawa quercetin (16) memiliki aktivitas inhibisi yang paling tinggi (82,93 ± 0,37%). Adanya substitusi unit gula pada posisi C-3 flavonol menurunkan aktivitas inhibisi α-glukosidase. Golongan flavonol monoglikosida (9-12) memiliki aktivitas inhibisi α-glukosidase yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan flavonol diglikosida (13 dan 14). Flavonol yang mengikat gula rhamnosida (9 dan 10) memiliki aktivitas inhibisi lebih tinggi dibandingkan flavonol dengan jenis gula glukosa (11 dan 12), dengan persentase inhibisi masing-masing sebesar 45,06 ± 0,22% (9), 34,83 ± 0,59% (10), 37,18 ± 0,62% (11); dan 31,26 ± 0,46% (12) pada konsentrasi akhir 50 μM. Dengan demikian, senyawa flavonol rhamnosida (9 dan 10) paling kuat dibandingkan dengan flavonol glukosida (11 dan 12) dan flavonol rutinosida (13 dan 14)

The implications of dialect use and orality in modern african fiction: Case Study of Ngugi Wa Thiong’O’s Selected Novels
No full textThis doctoral dissertation which is under the title, “The Implications of Dialect Use and Orality
in Modern African Fiction” focuses on the two selected African novels; namely, Weep Not, Child and
Petals of Blood by the Kenyan author Ngugi Wa Thiong'o. The purpose of this research is to show that
the use of the dialect in African fiction is unique, it goes beyond mere communication; it is intended to
satisfy both the sender and the receiver of the same origins as the case of Ngugi Wa Thiong'O who
uses "Gikuyu" dialect in his novels as a sign of his African identity and to prove the truth that he
masters both the language and culture elements in his literary writings. Moreover, the study confirms
that the use of dialect and orality in fiction does not demean the value of literature but is rather the
faithful representation of African identit

FENOMENA PERGESERAN TRADISI MEPAHUKH DALAM PERKAWINAN MASYARAKAT SUKU ALAS DI ACEH TENGGARA
No full textThis thesis examines the phenomenon of the shifting tradition of mepahukh in the marriages of the Alas tribe in Southeast Aceh. Interestingly, in conducting marriages, the Alas tribe has unique customs and procedures performed before the wedding reception, known as mepahukh. However, with the progression of an increasingly modern era, the tradition of mepahukh in Alas tribal marriages has experienced shifts. Based on this, the research aims to understand why the tradition of mepahukh in Alas tribal marriages has shifted using phenomenology theory, and how the practice of the mepahukh tradition in Alas tribe marriages is currently conducted using the theory of reception in contario. This research is a field study. To answer the research questions, the author employs a legal anthropology approach using Alfred Schutz's phenomenology theory and Sayuti Thalib's reception in contario theory. The author analyzes how Islamic law perceives the shifts occurring in the introduction process (ta’aruf) within the mepahukh tradition. This thesis uses a qualitative method, and for primary data collection, the author conducted observations and interviews. Secondary data was obtained from various other sources to complement the research needs. The research was conducted among the Alas tribe in Southeast Aceh. This study reveals that the phenomenon of the shift in the mepahukh tradition in Alas tribal marriages is caused by because motives and in order to motives that drive the shifts. The because motives include: the advancement of time and technology and the diminishing understanding of customs. The in order to motives, which are the objectives of the shifts in the mepahukh tradition, include: seeking more practical means and drinking tuak (palm wine) before the mepahukh tradition. The practice of the mepahukh tradition in the current Alas tribal marriages, after experiencing a shift from the values in the implementation of the mepahukh tradition, no longer aligns with the concept of maslahah (public interest), as the practices in the mepahukh traditio
Interplay of authority and expertise in online self-improvement communities
No full textIn online environments, users who wish to learn anything face several problems. Other users are usually anonymous or pseudonymous, information is plentiful and its quality variable, and it can be difficult to discern reliable information source. This thesis draws on the Strong Programme in the Sociology of Scientific Knowledge to explore how users of self-improvement communities on reddit, a major social media platform, negotiate these issues. Through conceptualising expertise as a status gained through an audience delegating their epistemic authority, the thesis explores the interplay of authority and expertise to analyse how users decide who, and what, to believe.
Reddit hosts tens of thousands of specialised communities (‘subreddits’). Using a method called a ‘lurking ethnography’ constituted through observation supplemented with interviews, the author analyses two subreddits, r/paleo and r/nootropics. r/paleo hosts adherents of the ‘paleolithic diet’, whilst r/nootropics concerns with ‘cognitive enhancement’ in all forms.
Analysis reveals how users construct expertise, negotiating tensions to maintain the epistemic integrity of their respective communities. The concept of ‘platform dialectics’ is developed to describe how reddit’s affordances influence the relationships between users and volunteer moderators. Users’ relationships with medical professionals and science are examined, as well as the discursive formations that attract delegations of authority, and users’ utilisation of boundary work to police the definition, remit, and effects of the substances they consume. In light of limited evidence and the ideology of epistemic individualism propagated by both communities, many users engage in self-experimentation practices.
The thesis concludes that users of these communities do not look for objectivity in experts, instead exhibiting ‘aspirational subjectivity’. As well as creating evidence for themselves, they listen to those who have walked the path they themselves wish to walk or appear to have diminished subjectiveness, or who are able to synthesise and present information in ways that manifest the accoutrements of science. Key contributions include offering a conceptualisation of expertise which burdens those who wish to be considered experts to demonstrate their skill, rather than asking audiences to discriminate between those who do and do not know what they are talking about. The thesis also elucidates the ways epistemic norms and knowledge-making practices are created, negotiated, and maintained in online communities

No full textThe Era of Revolution 5.0 had a huge impact, especially in the world of technology
and communication, technological sophistication has made social media more widely
used by people from various backgrounds, including Santri. The media that is often used
by Baitul Hikmah Islamic Boarding School students is Instagram, this is because
Instagram has multiple features, one of which is Instagram stories. In using social media
Instagram stories, Santri can express themselves, share general information and feelings
and express their identity or what is called Self Disclosure. Based on this, the author
focuses on discussing 'What is the form of self-disclosure of students through Instagram
stories? And what are the functions of self-disclosure of students through Instagram
stories? In order to answer this problem the authors use descriptive qualitative research
methods and the Johari Window theory.
The author found that the self-disclosure carried out by students through
Instagram stories was open or expressive which was categorized in the Johari Openself
Area window concept and was carried out closed or implied which entered the Johari
Hiddenself Area window concept. While the dominant self-disclosure function is the
Expression function and the Relationship Development function, and some perform the
functions of Self Clarification, Self Validation, and Social Control
