"The book aims to introduce the reader to the emerging field of evolutionary systems biology, which approaches classical systems biology questions within an evolutionary framework. In addition, evolutionary systems biology can generate new insights into the adaptive landscape by combining molecular systems biology models and evolutionary simulations. This insight can enable the development of more detailed mechanistic evolutionary hypotheses."

"Dengan dasar pendekatan evolusioner, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji apakah rasa takut, sebagai akibat dari pengaktifan disease avoidance system, mempengaruhi intensitas pembelian konsumen terhadap makanan sehat dibanding makanan tidak sehat Untuk menganalisa apakah terdapat efek moderasi dari budaya, sampel pada penelitian ini diambil dari dua warga negara, yaitu Indonesia dan Belanda. Hasil dari penelitian ini menujukkan bahwa rasa takut menyebabkan intensitas pembelian yang lebih tinggi pada beberapa tipe makanan sehat jika dibandingkan dengan makanan tidak sehat. Namun, tidak terdapat efek mediasi dari pengaktifan disease avoidance system. Selain itu, efek moderasi dari budaya juga tidak mempengaruhi hubungan antara kedua variabel.

On the basis of an evolutionary approach, this research examined whether fear, as a result from disease avoidance system activation, influence consumer purchase intention for healthy versus unhealthy food. To analyze whether there is a moderation effect of culture, the samples were taken from two countries nationals, namely Indonesian and Dutch.

The study revealed that fear leads to higher purchase intention for some type of healthy food than unhealthy food. However, this finding does not came from the activation of the disease avoidance system. It is also found that culture does not affect the relationship between the two variables."

"Fenomena kecurangan akademik masih terjadi di lingkungan perguruan tinggi. Sebagian besar mahasiswa yang menyaksikan terjadinya kecurangan memilih diam saja dan tidak melaporkannya kepada pihak dosen pengajar atau pihak yang berwenang mengatasinya. Padahal pelaporan kecurangan akademik yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa yang menyaksikannya akan dapat mencegah atau mengurangi terjadinya peristiwa kecurangan. Disertasi ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi motif yang melatarbelakangi diamnya (silence) mahasiswa yang mengetahui atau menyaksikan kecurangan akademik sekaligus menjelaskan mekanisme pelemahan silence berdasarkan perspektif pengambilan keputusan etis. Disertasi ini terdiri atas 2 studi: studi pertama menggunakan pendekatan exploratory sequential mixed method untuk mengeksplorasi motif-motif silence, dan studi kedua menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif model persamaan struktural untuk menjelaskan mekanisme pelemahan silence dalam beragam motif yang ditemukan pada studi pertama. Partisipan pada studi 1 kualitatif berjumlah 13 mahasiswa, partisipan pada studi 1 kuantitatif berjumlah 564 mahasiswa, dan partisipan pada studi 2 berjumlah 295 mahasiswa. Temuan pada disertasi ini menunjukkan kebaruan dalam beberapa hal: pertama, penelitian ini berhasil mengidentifikasi dan mengkonfirmasi motif-motif utama silence mahasiswa saksi kecurangan akademik sama dengan motif-motif silence yang selama ini dijelaskan di dalam literatur silence di dunia kerja, yaitu: acquiescent, prososial, oportunistik, dan defensif. Motif prososial dan defensif merupakan motif yang lebih dominan dibandingkan motif acquiescent dan oportunistik. Selain itu, terdapat dua motif silence lain yang belum ada dalam literatur yang ditemukan dari partisipan penelitian, yaitu: a) karena tidak mengetahui cara melaporkan kecurangan; b) karena pernah menjadi pelaku kecurangan. Dua motif ini masih memerlukan pembuktian lebih lanjut dengan melibatkan partisipan yang lebih banyak. Kedua, terujinya ketepatan penggunaan perspektif pengambilan keputusan etis dalam menjelaskan mekanisme pelemahan silence dalam empat motif mahasiswa yang menyaksikan kecurangan akademik. Silence dalam empat motifnya dapat dilemahkan melalui peran academic cheating awareness dengan dimediasi secara serial oleh seriousness of academic cheating dan peer reporting judgment. Pelibatan faktor seriousness of academic cheating sebagai mediator ke dalam model pengambilan keputusan etis memperkaya penjelasan teoretis terkait mekanisme pelemahan silence, khususnya pada mahasiswa saksi kecurangan akademik.

The phenomenon of academic cheating still occurs in the college environment. Most of the students who witnessed the occurrence of cheating chose to remain silent and did not report it to the teaching staff or the authorities. Even though the reporting of academic cheating committed by students who witness it will be able to prevent or reduce the occurrence of fraud events. This dissertation aims to explore the motives behind the silence of students who know or witness academic cheating and to explain the mechanism of weakening silence based on an ethical decision-making perspective. This dissertation consists of 2 studies: the first study used an exploratory sequential mixed method approach to explore silence motives, and the second study used a quantitative approach to structural equation models to explain the mechanism of silence attenuation in the various motives found in the first study. There were 13 students in the first qualitative study, 564 students in the first quantitative study, and 295 students in the second study. The findings of this dissertation indicate novelty in several respects: first, this study succeeded in identifying and confirming the main motives for silence in students who witness academic fraud are the same as the motives for silence that have been described in the literature on silence in the world of work, namely: acquiescent, prosocial , opportunistic, and defensive. Prosocial and defensive motives are more dominant than acquiescent and opportunistic motives. Apart from that, there are two other motives for silence that do not yet exist in the literature which were found among research participants, namely: a) because they did not know how to report academic cheating; b) having been a perpetrator of academic cheating. These two motives still require further proof by involving more participants. Second, the accuracy of the use of an ethical decision-making perspective has been tested in explaining the mechanism of weakening silence in the four motives of students who witnessed academic cheating. Silence in its four motives can be weakened through the role of academic cheating awareness serially mediated by the seriousness of academic cheating and peer reporting judgment. Involving the seriousness of academic cheating as a mediator into the ethical decision-making model enriches the theoretical explanation regarding the mechanism of weakening silence, especially for students who witness academic cheating."

"This book covers hot topics in the design, administration and management of dynamic grid environments with a special emphasis on the preferences and autonomous decisions of system users, secure access to the processed data and services, and application of green technologies. It features advanced research related to scalable genetic-based heuristic approaches to grid scheduling, whereby new scheduling criteria, such as system reliability, security, and energy consumption are incorporated into a general scheduling model.
