Motif Dan Proses Psikologis Korupsi
A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to identify and describe the phenomenon of corruption psychology. Two corruptors were interviewed to explore their perceptions on corrupt practices in Central Java. The interview conducted to explore informant perceptions on a real process. Interview data collected resulted in five themes: (1) Corruption is an act of abuse the authority, identical with theft, something that not run correctly, and using public money for personal and group interest intentionally; (2) The motives of the informants in doing corruption are solidarity with the friends\u27 doer, system that enables to corrupt, to earn much more money, and make friends; (3) Process of corruption; budget-making has been done by legislative and executive institution; marking-up the budget, facilities and allowances; reporting the administrative data manipulatively; inter-relating chain in corruption process; and distributing the aspiration fund without a proof of receipts; (4) The impact of corruption is making someone\u27s wiser in life, putting the corruptors in to the jail, humiliating their big family, and also, having a more debt, and (5) The settlement of problems that they employ is by using emotion-focused coping.

Electrochemical Synthesis of Nanostructured Metal-doped Titanates and Investigation of Their Activity as Oxygen Evolution Photoanodes
Mixed
and doped metal oxides are excellent candidates for commercial energy
applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, and
photocatalyts due to their activity, stability, tailorable band edge
and bandgaps, and low cost. However, the routes commonly employed
in their synthesis present synthetic bottlenecks with reliance on
sacrificial materials, the use of high temperatures, long reaction
times, and little ability to control morphology, thus compromising
their scale-up. Herein, we present the single-pot, electrochemical
synthesis of high surface area, doped metal titanate nanostructures,
including Na2Ti3O7 (NTO), 25 wt %
Sn:NTO, 5 wt % Fe:NTO, and 3 wt % Cu:NTO. The synergistic use of the
cathodic corrosion method with suspended droplet alloying (SDA) led
to materials with excellent homogeneity, presenting a promising route
for the screening, production, and discovery of electroactive materials.
As proof of concept of the synthetic control and impact on reactivity,
we found that the photoanodic oxygen evolution activity of the nanomaterials
was adversely affected by Fe and Sn doping into NTO while Cu doping,
at 3 wt %, displayed significant improvement. This work demonstrates
the ability of the cathodic corrosion method to obtain compositionally
and structurally controlled mixed-metal oxides in a rapid fashion,
thus creating new opportunities in the field of materials engineering
and the systematic study of compositional gradients on the (photo)electrochemical
performance of metal oxide nanoparticles
