Legal Shifts And Judicial Inconsistencies In Strict Liability After The Omnibus Law: A Critical Analysis Of Indonesian Environmental Law For Responsible Mining And Esg Compliance, Nurul Listiyani, Khenza Atthaya Namira Yulianto Sep 2026

Legal Shifts And Judicial Inconsistencies In Strict Liability After The Omnibus Law: A Critical Analysis Of Indonesian Environmental Law For Responsible Mining And Esg Compliance, Nurul Listiyani, Khenza Atthaya Namira Yulianto

Journal of Environmental Science and Sustainable Development

The legal significance of strict liability in mining arises from the sector’s capacity to generate technically complex, diffuse, and long-latency environmental harm that is difficult to address through fault-based litigation alone. This study aims to evaluate how the post-Omnibus Law reformulation of Article 88 of Law No. 32 of 2009 has affected the doctrinal autonomy, judicial consistency, and practical enforcement of strict liability in Indonesian environmental law. The research used normative doctrinal legal research including statutory, case-law, conceptual, comparative, and evaluative analyses. The data cover the 2009–2025 period and consist of two core statutory formulations of Article 88, the Job …

Temporal Variation In Picophytoplankton Pigment Phenotypes Of Two Urban Rivers, Kylee M. Lamberson, Camille E. Wendlandt, Kristin E. Forgrave, Anne W. Thompson Sep 2026

Temporal Variation In Picophytoplankton Pigment Phenotypes Of Two Urban Rivers, Kylee M. Lamberson, Camille E. Wendlandt, Kristin E. Forgrave, Anne W. Thompson

International Journal of Undergraduate Research and Creative Activities

Picophytoplankton are a group of photosynthetic, unicellular organisms, making them key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems. These cells numerically dominate in oceans and lakes where picophytoplankton communities contain phenotypic subpopulations that correspond to biogeographic patterns. In rivers, however, such community dynamics are less studied. We examined the phenotypic subpopulations of picophytoplankton in two converging urban river environments of Portland, Oregon (USA): the Columbia and the Willamette Rivers. From September 2022 through July 2023, we took roughly bi-weekly surface water samples and used multi-laser flow cytometry to distinguish between photosynthetic cells based on their size and pigment fluorescence. We discovered seven …

Phosphoric Acid-Mediated Regeneration Of Sugarcane Bagasse Cellulose-Rich Fraction For Enzymatic Production Of Water-Soluble Cellulosic Oligomers, Chiou-Yeong Saw, David Agus Setiawan Wibisono, Tsung-Yen Wu, Yung Chang, Chi-Fai Chau Sep 2026

Phosphoric Acid-Mediated Regeneration Of Sugarcane Bagasse Cellulose-Rich Fraction For Enzymatic Production Of Water-Soluble Cellulosic Oligomers, Chiou-Yeong Saw, David Agus Setiawan Wibisono, Tsung-Yen Wu, Yung Chang, Chi-Fai Chau

Journal of Food and Drug Analysis

An integrated strategy was developed to promote conversion of a sugarcane bagasse cellulose-rich fraction into water-soluble cellulosic oligomers (WCOs) through phosphoric acid-mediated regeneration and enzymatic hydrolysis. Alkaline pretreatment on sugarcane bagasse powder increased glucan content from 57.6 to 93.4 g/100 g sample and lowered Klason lignin to 6.1 g/100 g sample. Phosphoric acid-mediated regeneration was subsequently capable of reorganizing the structure of cellulose from sugarcane bagasse, resulting in a decrease of crystallinity from 72.9 to 64.0% and introducing cellulose II-like features. The hydration state of regenerated cellulose strongly influenced hydrolysis performance, as the hydrated form showed significantly higher solubilization (810.4 …

Aspen Health On Cedar Mountain: What Landowners Should Know, Justin Derose, Darren Mcavoy Sep 2026

Aspen Health On Cedar Mountain: What Landowners Should Know, Justin Derose, Darren Mcavoy

All Current Publications

Aspen forests are among the most valuable parts of the Cedar Mountain area in southwest Utah and of Utah's landscapes. They provide wildlife habitat, improve scenery, help slow wildfire spread, and support healthy watersheds and grazing lands. Cedar Mountain’s aspen forests are changing. The landscape still supports significant aspen acreage, but many stands are aging and losing mature trees faster than they are being replaced. Researchers studied the area to assess the health of the aspen forest over many years, beginning in 2008; this fact sheet discusses the results. It also provides management considerations.

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 Sep 2026

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 …

Comparative Analysis Of Bacterial Recbcd And Sbcc-Sbcd Systems And The Yeast Mre11-Rad50 Complex During Dna Replication, Tannos Seyedjavadi Sep 2026

Comparative Analysis Of Bacterial Recbcd And Sbcc-Sbcd Systems And The Yeast Mre11-Rad50 Complex During Dna Replication, Tannos Seyedjavadi

Dissertations and Theses

Accurate completion of DNA replication when forks converge is essential for genome stability. In Escherichia coli, several proteins have been identified including RecG, ExoI, RecBCD, and SbcCD, that contribute to completing replication, and loss of these factors causes genetic instability. Eukaryotes encode proteins with homology to several E. coli completion enzymes. Mre11–Rad50 complex is structurally and functionally conserved with bacterial SbcCD, and Rrm3 shares homologous motifs with bacterial RecBCD. These proteins are often described as being involved in homologous double strand break repair. Whether they are also conserved and play a similar role as their E. coli counterparts in …

From Data To Medicine: A Milestone For Medical Chemistry And Bioinformatics In Indonesia, Fadilah Fadilah Sep 2026

From Data To Medicine: A Milestone For Medical Chemistry And Bioinformatics In Indonesia, Fadilah Fadilah

Indonesian Journal of Medical Chemistry and Bioinformatics

Biomedical science is rapidly moving from data generation toward data-driven discovery and clinical translation. Genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics now provide multiple perspectives on human biology, while bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and molecular modelling enable these complex datasets to be interpreted. The challenge is no longer simply to generate data, but to transform data into knowledge and knowledge into better medicine. This transition is particularly important for Indonesia, where genetic, environmental, microbial, and biological diversity creates both a challenge and an opportunity for population-relevant biomedical research.
