Role of N-glycosylation in oral cancer
Oral squamous cell carcinoma represents more than 90% head and neck cancers with high incidence rate and morbidity. To date, little is known about the molecular mechanisms responsible for OSCC initiation and progression to advanced disease. Thus, identifying key pathways involved in OSCC pathobiology is likely to lead to the identification of new druggable targets and future anti-cancer therapies.
Work from our laboratory has linked the metabolic pathway of protein N-glycosylation with OSCC biology. Specifically, overexpression of the first N-glycosylation gene, DPAGT1, in human OSCC tumor specimens was shown to be associated with aberrant activation of canonical Wnt signaling and inhibition of mature E-cadherin junctions. The purpose of this study was to examine how increased N-glycosylation was associated with OSCC growth and metastatic properties in cellular and murine models. We show that high level of DPAGT1 expression correlates with increased cell surface modification of malignant OSCC HSC-3 cells with complex N-glycans. Further, HSC-3 cells are hypersenitive to the N-glycosylation inhibitor, tunicamycin, suggesting that aggressive properties of OSCC cells depend, in part, on the N-glycosylation pathway. Lastly, we show that orthotopic HSC-3 cell-derived tumor xenografts are inhibited by tunicamycin both in overall growth and metastases, indicating that targeting DPAGT1 and N-glycosylation may represent a new strategy for the treatment of OSCC in human patients
ANALISIS RASIO PROFITABILITAS, RASIO LIKUIDITAS, RASIO AKTIVITAS, DAN RASIO SOLVABILITAS UNTUK MENGUKUR KINERJA KEUANGAN PADA PERUSAHAAN PERTAMBANGAN YANG TERDAFTAR DI BEI
The purpose of this study is to analyze the financial performance of mining companies based on the analysis of profitability, liquidity, activity and solvency ratios listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling obtained by a sample of 26 companies. This type of research is quantitative research with a descriptive approach and the data used is in the form of secondary data. The results of this study show that the financial performance of mining companies based on profitability ratios is in an unfavorable condition because return on assets, return on equity and net profit margin fluctuate from 2020-2022. Based on the liquidity ratio when viewed from the current ratio, quick ratio and cash ratio are in poor condition from 2020-2022. Based on the activity ratio from 2020-2022, it is in a poor condition. Based on the solvency ratio, the total dept to equity is in good condition. However, when viewed from the total dept to assets, the company is in poor condition from 2020-2022
INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS
Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by the stem and the bract during early floral development. It was proposed that the dominant MAB petal initiation might impose a developmental constraint that leads to the evolution of limited patterns of floral zygomorphy in Asteridae, a family in which the floral zygomorphy develops along the medial plane and results in a central ventral (CV) petal in mature flowers. Here, I investigate whether the pattern of floral organ initiation may limit patterns of floral zygomorphy to evolve in pentapetalous angiosperms. I analyzed floral diagrams representing 405 species in 330 genera of pentapetalous angiosperms to reconstruct the evolution of floral organ initiation and the evolution of developmental processes that give rise to floral zygomorphy on a phylogenetic framework. Results indicate that MAB petal initiation is the most common; it occupies 86.2% of diversity and represents the ancestral state of floral organ initiation in pentapetalous angiosperms. The MAD petal initiation evolved 28 times independently from the ancestral MAB petal initiation. Among the 34 independent originations of floral zygomorphy, 76.5% of these clades represent MAB petal initiation, among which only 47% of the clades result a CV petal in mature flowers. The discrepancy is explained by the existence of developmental processes that result in floral zygomorphy along oblique planes of floral symmetry in addition to along the medial plane. Findings suggest that although the early floral organ initiation plays a constraining role to the evolution of patterns of floral zygomorphy, the constraint diverges along phylogenetically distantly related groups that allow the independent originations of floral zygomorphy through distinct development processes in pentapetalous angiosperms. In additional study, the butterfly-like flowers of Schizanthus are adapted to pollination by bees, hummingbirds, and moths. I investigated the genetic basis of the zygomorphic corolla, for which development is key to the explosive pollen release mechanism found in the species of Schizanthus adapted to bee pollinators. I examined differential gene expression profiles across the zygomorphic corolla of Schizanthus pinnatus, a bee-pollinated species, by analyzing RNA transcriptome sequencing (RNA- seq). Data indicated that CYC2 is not expressed in the zygomorphic corolla of Sc. pinnatus, suggesting CYC2 is not involved in the development of floral zygomorphy in Schizanthus (Solanaceae). The data also indicated that a number of genes are differentially expressed across the corolla
KHALWAT DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM POSITIF
The existence of a man and woman who have no kinship so that it is lawful to marry her, in a lonely place without being ac companied by a mahram of the male or female side. This khalwat is a crime that is not subject to hudud punishment and kafarah punishment. This form of khalwat crime is included in the category of ta'zir finger whose number of punishment is not limited. In the Qur'an and Sunnah this khalwat act is highly reproached, but not clearly regulated in the Qur'an and Sunnah. So this act can be entered into the ta'zir group. All deeds that should (need) be forbidden to fulfill the common good (community). This prohibition must necessarily be made on the basis of community agreement / consensus in ways that are considered eligible. In North Aceh, the khalwat actors who are close to the power are hard to touch with the law, it is not surprising to all of us to remember that the law in this country is not yet the commander but the law is merely a bargaining position in everyday life

IMPLEMENTASI HUKUM ISLAM DI ACEH DALAM PERSPEKTIF HISTORIS
Penegakan hukum Islam di Provinsi Acheh pada periode dahulu sampai sekarang dan yang akan datang akan mendapatkan dukungan dari masyarakat di Acheh. Dari pengalaman empiris masa lalu itu, dibuktikan dengan bahwa hukum Islam telah diterima dan dapat berfungsi sebagai hukum yang mengatur kehidupan masyarakat. Penegakan hukum Islam di Acheh setelah kemerdekaan pada awalnya diperjuangkan dengan melewati / melewati status Acheh sebagai Area pendukung diri sendiri. Provinsi oleh kewenangan adalah otonom untuk mengatur sendiri domestik dan menjalankan syariat Islam dengan sempurna dan pasti sekarang setelah melahirkan undang-undang kelahiran dan qanun-qanun syariat Islam maka penerapan syariat Islam di Acheh dapat dalam mewujudkan dengan sempurna. Penegakan hukum Islam di Provinsi Acheh memiliki dasar yang berlaku, karena secara historis-sosiologis adalah Syariat Islam di Acheh telah dieksekusi dalam kehidupan nyata sejak beberapa abad terakhir ketika Acheh masih dalam bentuk kekaisaran. Acheh Society, selama sejarah, telah menjadikan Islam sebagai pedoman dalam hidupnya. Melaksanakan dan perbuatan ajaran Islam dalam mencakup sejarah yang cukup lama yang telah melahirkan suasana masyarakat dan budaya Acheh yang Islami, oleh karena itu syariat Islam memiliki satu dan menjadi tuntunan hidup (living law) bagi masyarakat Ace
