Abstract

Collective memory plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of group identity, particularly in multicultural societies. It encompasses the shared memories, narratives, and historical experiences that bind a group together, influencing cultural, social, and political dynamics. In multicultural contexts, the interaction of multiple collective memories can either strengthen group identity or lead to conflict, depending on how these memories are interpreted and shared. This study aims to explore the role of collective memory in shaping group identity within multicultural societies. It examines how the preservation and transmission of collective memories influence the formation of both individual and collective identities, and how these processes impact social cohesion and intergroup relations.  A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews and focus groups with members of diverse cultural groups in a multicultural urban setting. The study explores participants' collective memories related to historical events, cultural practices, and intergroup relationships, analyzing the ways these memories shape their identities. The findings indicate that collective memory significantly influences group identity, with shared historical experiences fostering a strong sense of belonging. However, divergent collective memories between groups also contribute to social divisions, particularly when historical narratives are contested. Collective memory is a powerful force in shaping group identity in multicultural societies. Understanding its role is essential for promoting social cohesion and resolving intergroup conflicts.

Abstract

Mikania micrantha, an invasive weed, poses significant ecological threats in Indonesian national parks, outcompeting native vegetation and disrupting ecosystems. Traditional control methods, such as chemical herbicides, have proven inefficient and harmful to surrounding biodiversity. This study aimed to develop a fungal-based mycoherbicide to provide a sustainable, environmentally friendly solution for controlling Mikania micrantha. The research isolated and tested indigenous fungal strains for their mycoherbicidal properties against Mikania micrantha in two national parks: Bukit Barisan Selatan and Gunung Leuser. Field trials were conducted to assess the efficacy of the selected fungal strain on weed density and biomass reduction. The results demonstrated that the mycoherbicide significantly reduced Mikania micrantha density (54%) and biomass (60%) in treated quadrats compared to untreated controls. The treatment was more effective in wetter conditions, where fungal spore germination and plant infection were enhanced. These findings suggest that mycoherbicides can effectively control Mikania micrantha while minimizing the environmental impact of traditional herbicides. This study highlights the potential for fungal-based biocontrol methods as a viable tool in invasive species management. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects and scalability of this mycoherbicide for broader applications in tropical ecosystems.

Abstract

Dengue fever is a significant global health threat, where rapid and accurate diagnosis is crucial for timely clinical intervention and outbreak management. Conventional diagnostic methods are often centralized, time-consuming, and require sophisticated equipment, limiting their utility in point-of-care (POC) settings. This study reports the development and validation of a novel lab-on-a-chip (LoC) device integrating gold nanosensors for the ultrasensitive electrochemical detection of the Dengue virus non-structural protein 1 (NS1). The microfluidic device was fabricated using soft lithography, and the gold electrode surfaces were functionalized with specific anti-NS1 monoclonal antibodies. Detection was performed using differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), measuring the change in current response upon immunocomplex formation. The developed immunosensor exhibited a wide linear dynamic range and an exceptionally low limit of detection (LoD) of 1.5 pg/mL for the NS1 antigen. Furthermore, the device demonstrated high selectivity against other interfering proteins. Our findings successfully establish a robust, miniaturized LoC platform for the rapid and highly sensitive detection of dengue biomarkers. This device holds significant potential as a powerful POC diagnostic tool for the early detection of dengue fever, particularly in resource-limited environments.

Abstract

At-risk youth frequently encounter significant socio-economic obstacles, leading to high vulnerability to unemployment and social exclusion. Community-based entrepreneurship training programs are increasingly employed as vital interventions to foster self-sufficiency and build economic resilience. However, empirical evidence specifically quantifying their direct impact on the entrepreneurial mindset of this marginalized demographic remains limited. This research aims to assess the impact of a community-based entrepreneurship training program on fostering an entrepreneurial mindset—specifically entrepreneurial knowledge, self-confidence, and business intention—among at-risk youth. The study also explores the influential role of support factors like mentorship. A mixed-methods design was implemented. The quantitative phase utilized pre- and post-program surveys (N=100) to measure changes in key indicators. The qualitative phase included semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to gain deeper insights into participant experiences and mindset shifts. Data was analyzed using paired t-tests and thematic analysis. Quantitative analysis showed a statistically significant increase across all measured indicators post-program. Entrepreneurial knowledge and confidence in starting a business saw dramatic increases, from 28% to 85% and 32% to 80% respectively. Furthermore, the intention to pursue entrepreneurship rose from 40% to 75%. Qualitative results underscored the crucial role of mentorship and peer networking in translating knowledge into actionable plans. The findings confirm that tailored community-based entrepreneurship training is highly effective and transformative, not only equipping at-risk youth with technical skills but also significantly empowering them psychologically to pursue entrepreneurship as a viable path for socio-economic mobility. This model warrants continued adoption and scalable implementation.
