Indonesia’s education budgeting system denoting low adaptiveness: functionalism analysis by Sumiyana Sumiyana, Ruslan Effendi

“…Furthermore, it analyses the causally adaptive failure in the budgeting system of the Government of Indonesia (GoI).Design/methodology/approach Our study employed semi-structured interviews, gathering in-depth insights from 24 relevant informants from the local government officials and auditors. Using Talcott Parson’s structural functionalism as our theoretical approach, the authors analysed the research transcripts using the coding structure of Nvivo, capturing GoI’s education budgeting systems holistically and enriching this study’s findings derived from valid, credible and reliable research data.Findings This study finds deficiencies in the primary school education budgeting system: the identified integrative functions, polity as an organised system for directing various resources towards a collective goal, and the low justification of legitimacy. …”

Light-dependent modulation of protein localization and function in living bacteria cells by Ryan McQuillen, Amilcar J. Perez, Xinxing Yang, Christopher H. Bohrer, Erika L. Smith, Sylvia Chareyre, Ho-Ching Tiffany Tsui, Kevin E. Bruce, Yin Mon Hla, Joshua W. McCausland, Malcolm E. Winkler, Erin D. Goley, Kumaran S. Ramamurthi, Jie Xiao

“…Abstract Most bacteria lack membrane-enclosed organelles and rely on macromolecular scaffolds at different subcellular locations to recruit proteins for specific functions. Here, we demonstrate that the optogenetic CRY2-CIB1 system from Arabidopsis thaliana can be used to rapidly direct proteins to different subcellular locations with varying efficiencies in live Escherichia coli cells, including the nucleoid, the cell pole, the membrane, and the midcell division plane. …”

Development of the recipe and technology of semi-finished mock cutlets of functional purpose by A. B. Tkhaishaova, Z. N. Khatko, N. A. Loban

“…Mechanically deboned poultry meat is characterized by less technological potential and is in need of increase its functional and technological properties in the formation of food systems with specified properties.The article shows the possibility of expanding the assortment of meat chopped semi-finished products (cutlets) of functional purpose using a compositional mixture in a recipe that helps to increase biological and nutritional value.The purpose of the research is to develop the recipe and technology of mechanically deboned poultry meat semi-finished products (cutlets) of functional purpose using non-traditional raw materials, namely compositional mixture (CM).The qualitative and quantitative composition of the compositional mixture for cutlets of functional purpose from mechanically deboned poultry meat has been substantiated and selected.The influence of the dosage of the compositional mixture consisting of a solid Adygh cheese«Mate» (powder), oatmeal and garlic powder, on the consumer properties of mechanically deboned poultry meat has been investigated. …”

Functionalized melanin for enhanced energy storage in aqueous and ionic liquid electrolytes by Noah Al-Shamery, Florian Heppner, Carsten Dosche, Simon Morgenschweis, Thomas Bredow, Gunther Wittstock, Pooi See Lee

“…Mel-NO2 shows improved water-solubility, cycling stability, improved capacity at current densities over 0.1 A g−1 (19.5 mA h g−1 at 0.2 A g−1), and good conductivity in ionic liquid electrolyte devices. Post-density functional theory calculations using a higher-level theoretical approach (meta-GGA level) compared to previous theoretical melanin investigations show the electron withdrawing nitro groups causing a reduced HOMO-LUMO gap potentially being a reason for the improved electrochemical properties.…”
