Visualizing Borneo Biodiversity And Dayak Cultural Heritage Through Contemporary Innovative Batik Motifs, Kristanti Kristanti

Bahasa dan Seni: Jurnal Bahasa, Sastra, Seni, dan Pengajarannya

Borneo combines exceptional biological diversity with cultural traditions that shape regional identity. This study aims to develop contemporary batik motifs based on selected biological references associated with Borneo and one Dayak cultural reference while documenting the visual transformation process as research knowledge. A practice-based research approach was employed through exploration, design development, realization, expert validation, and revision. The initial exploration included the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus), proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus), rhinoceros hornbill (Buceros rhinoceros), black orchid (Coelogyne pandurata), ironwood (Eusideroxylon zwageri), and pitcher plants (Nepenthes spp.), while the Dayak …

The Efficient Market Hypothesis In Youth Entrepreneurship: Understanding, Application, And Contextual Factors — A Systematic Literature Review, Omari Khalifa Mbura Prof,, Binto M. Binto

Business Management Review

This systematic literature review explores how youth entrepreneurs understand and apply the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) in their decision-making, and examines the contextual factors influencing the decision-making nexus. Guided by a post-positivist framework, the review synthesises extant literature across youth entrepreneurship, finance, and digital strategy to map emerging themes and identify knowledge gaps. It covered a sample of 38 peer-reviewed articles, selected in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Findings of the systematic literature review show that youth entrepreneurs' engagement with EMH is largely experiential and indirect, influenced by digital literacy, social learning, and the realities of rapidly changing market environments. …

Field-Induced Electrochemistry: Concept, Application, And Outlook, Jingyu Wu, Yingjie Ji, Shiyu Wang, Shuyun Yao, Xiaoxuan Wang, Kang Ji, Wanlong Bai, Chao Yi, Zhiyu Yang, Yi-Ming Yan

Online First

Field-induced electrochemistry has attracted increasing attention as a complementary strategy for regulating electrode process kinetics beyond conventional composition and structure optimization. Externally applied fields and local fields arising from interfacial polarization, nonuniform charge or spin distribution, defects, heterostructures, spontaneous polarization, and high curvature surface geometries can influence adsorption, interfacial electron transfer, ion and mass transport, and gas–liquid transport. This review summarizes the conceptual development from field-induced chemistry to field-induced electrochemistry and discusses field effects from a multiscale kinetic perspective, including atomic and molecular processes, nanoscale interfacial regulation, and mesoscopic and macroscopic transport. Representative electric, magnetic, flow, strain, thermal, acoustic, and …

Molecular And Structural Basis For Replication Initiation And Strand Separation By Human Mitochondrial Dna Polymerase Γ, Viktoriia Sokolova, Gina Buchel, S. Strock, Ashok R. Nayak, Dmitry Temiakov

Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Papers

Defects in human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication can lead to somatic mutations associated with a range of devastating mitochondrial diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the earliest steps of mtDNA replication and their fidelity remain poorly understood. Here, we found that DNA polymerase gamma (Polγ) forms stable complexes with RNA-DNA primer-template substrates, exhibiting greater stability and lower misincorporation than on DNA-primed substrates. Structural analysis revealed that Polγ interacts with the 2'-OH groups of ribose within the first four nucleotides of the primer, explaining the stability of complexes that utilize RNA primers. Although Polγ requires TWINKLE to extend RNA primers, its …

Quantum-Enhanced And Machine Learning Framework For High-Accuracy Fatigue Life Prediction And Structural Analysis Of Connecting Rod, P. H. J. Venkatesh, P. Seema Rani

Babylonian Journal of Mechanical Engineering

The connecting rod is a critical mechanical component that transmits reciprocating motion from the piston to rotational motion in the crankshaft. Although connecting rods are traditionally manufactured from aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, or alloy steels, the demand for higher power-to-weight ratios has motivated the exploration of alternative materials supported by advanced computational validation methods. This study proposes a multilayer optimization framework for identifying the most suitable material for the connecting rod of a 110 cc four-stroke petrol engine. The component was modelled in Pro/ENGINEER, and high-fidelity Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed in ANSYS to evaluate the von Mises stress, …

Nafisa Tanjeem, Struggles that Connect Us: From South Africa to Palestine to the United States” - A 14-Day Study Abroad Course in Cape Town, South Africa

This culminating assignment invites students to synthesize their learning from a 14-day study abroad program in Cape Town through a creative project in the form of a zine, poster, or presentation. Grounded in a transnational, decolonial, anti-racist, and feminist framework, students analyze how interconnected systems such as settler colonialism, colonialism, racial capitalism, and neoliberalism operate across South Africa, the United States, and Palestine. The project requires students to integrate experiential learning from site visits with course readings and discussions while also reflecting on their own positionality and ethical responsibilities. By translating complex ideas into accessible visual and narrative formats, students …

Nafisa Tanjeem, Struggles that Connect Us: From South Africa to Palestine to the United States” - A 14-Day Study Abroad Course in Cape Town, South Africa

This individual assignment asks you to critically examine the university as both a site of colonial repression and a space of resistance, drawing on your experiences and readings from Days 5 and 6. Rather than writing a general reflection, you will conduct a structured, multi-layered analysis of one specific moment, space, or interaction you encountered (e.g., classroom discussion, campus tour, archive, conversation on student organizing).

Activity 2, Nafisa Tanjeem

Nafisa Tanjeem, Struggles that Connect Us: From South Africa to Palestine to the United States” - A 14-Day Study Abroad Course in Cape Town, South Africa

This in-class activity challenges students to critically examine the ethical dilemmas embedded in everyday practices such as consumption, tourism, and urban development, drawing on materials from Days 8 and 9. Students will engage in a structured, scenario-based decision-making exercise grounded in real experiences from Cape Town.

Activity 1, Nafisa Tanjeem

Nafisa Tanjeem, Struggles that Connect Us: From South Africa to Palestine to the United States” - A 14-Day Study Abroad Course in Cape Town, South Africa

This in-class activity invites students to critically examine and transform their understanding of “global citizenship” by integrating insights from the first four days of the course. Beginning with Day 1’s critique of study abroad and global engagement, students will reflect on how dominant narratives of global citizenship often obscure systems of power, privilege, and inequity. They will then connect these critiques to experiential learning from Days 2–4, including site visits and discussions on settler colonialism, spatial apartheid, memory, and carceral systems.

Turkish Translation And Cultural Adaptation Of The Evaluation In Ayres Sensory Integration (Easi), Aymen Balikci, Ayse Firdevs Aracikul Balikci, Isabelle Beaudry-Bellefeuille, Gamze Cagla Sirma, Fatos Kirteke, Zoe Mailloux, L. Diane Parham, Susanne Smith Roley, Roseann C. Schaaf

Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers

INTRODUCTION: Cultural sensitivity and relevance are critical components for best practice in occupational therapy assessment. The Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration (EASI) is a performance-based assessment designed to evaluate sensory perception, sensory reactivity, postural control, ocular control, bilateral integration, and praxis abilities in children aged 3-12 years. Before the development of this tool, no standardized performance-based assessment of sensory integration functions had included a normative Turkish sample. The objective of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the EASI for Türkiye.

METHOD: A seven-step process for translation and cross-cultural adaptation, grounded in established methodology, was applied. The steps included …
