Efecto de la deposición de tefras en el albedo teledetectado del Volcán Villarrica, Chile
Authors: Peña Marco
Published: September 2024

El albedo juega un rol crítico en el balance de masa de un glaciar, por cuanto incide en su ablación. En este trabajo fue evaluada la dinámica del albedo teledetectado de los glaciares Turbio y Pedregoso del Volcán Villarrica, luego de ocurrido un evento eruptivo de gran magnitud en 2015, que significó su recubrimiento parcial de tefras. El albedo fue derivado desde ocho imágenes satelitales ASTER (Advanced Spaceborn Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer), adquiridas en fechas estivales de casi-aniversario antes, durante y después del evento en cuestión (2009-2022). El comportamiento temporal del albedo ex-post de ambos glaciares estudiados tendió predominantemente a la baja, en especial en sus zonas de ablación, sujetas a mayor exposición superficial de los depósitos de tefras, en respuesta al derretimiento/sublimación cíclica que experimenta durante el estío la capa nival que logra recubrirlos el resto del año. Este decremento alcanzó su valor máximo en 2002, presumiblemente a causa de la extremadamente singular calidez y sequía registrada a lo largo del año precedente en el área de estudio. Se espera que estos resultados contribuyan a comprender la dinámica ex-post del albedo en el área de estudio, en términos de su magnitud y pervasividad en el tiempo, a fin de aportar valiosa información para el rastreo y prospección de los balances de masa de ambos glaciares estudiados.

Para describir de forma adecuada un lenguaje de programación, vale partir de un antecedente que seguramente muchos de los lectores actuales no tengan presente, pero allá en los últimos años de secundaria, en los 80 empezábamos a aprender BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) un lenguaje creado en los años 60, por John G. Kemeny y Thomas E. Kurtz en el Dartmouth College. El propósito principal de en su diseño era la sencilles y fácil de aprender para quienes empezábamos a entender la lógica de programación. Sin embargo, en poco tiempo, y al llegar a la Universidad en los 90, se empezó a utilizar otros lenguajes más poderosos, pero a la vez más complejos de aprender, Fortran, COBOL, PASCAL y luego C o C++. Por otra parte, ABC nacía también en los 80 desarrollado en el Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) en los Países Bajos por Leo Geurts, Lambert Meertens y Steven Pemberton. Creado para ser un lenguaje educativo y de prototipado, más avanzado que BASIC, y destinado a reemplazarlo. Enfocado en ser muy fácil de aprender y usar, pero más estructurado y potente.

Authors: Hesti Ningsih Untari , Wahyudi Eko
Published: September 2024

Leakage of personal data is the transmission of data via electronic devices including name, place, date of birth, passcode and electronic address which can be accidentally accessed by unauthorized persons. This study aims to understand the legal protection that can be given to journalists for acts against the law by telecommunications service providers for personal data leakage. This study uses normative research methods by analyzing data in a descriptive-qualitative manner. The results of the research show that actions taken by telecommunication service providers are classified as unlawful acts under Article 1365 of the Civil Code. Journalist Akbar Wijaya as the victim suffered material and immaterial losses and disrupted his journalistic activities because he experienced personal data leaks. Thus, based on Article 1365 of the Civil Code, he is obliged to obtain compensation and Telkomsel has not been able to carry out its obligations as a business actor to have good faith in providing its product services. Telecommunications service providers who have a role as personal data controllers commit acts that are not in accordance with the precautionary principle in accordance with Article 3 of Law no. 27 of 2022 concerning personal data protection.
Hearing loss in Jordan: an overlooked public health challenge
Authors: Zuriekat Margaret , Qarmout Sireena , Alsous Malak , Nanah Amani , Al-Halasa Fares , Alqudah Safa , Alhanbali Sara
Published: September 2024

Hearing loss (HL) is a significant public health issue in developing countries like Jordan, yet it remains under-prioritized due to competing healthcare agendas and limited resources. This review synthesises the current knowledge on HL in Jordan and provides an overview of the country's hearing healthcare situation. A narrative review was conducted by searching databases including PubMed and Scopus using the search keywords 'hearing loss,' 'deaf', 'hearing healthcare', 'audiology', and 'Jordan', to identify relevant literature on HL epidemiology, impact, and hearing healthcare services.
Official national statistics on HL across the population are lacking. Estimates of HL from local research for newborns align with international averages but exceed global levels for infants with risk factors. The estimates for adults suggest a lower prevalence compared to global reports. Most studies focus on the negative psychosocial and educational impacts on Jordanians with HL. Enhancements in hearing healthcare services are needed to improve access, affordability, and quality of audiology services across the country. Research and governmental efforts are necessary to establish national-level official statistics, implement effective prevention strategies, and improve audiological services. This requires integrated healthcare policies, community-based interventions, and international cooperation to reduce the burden of HL and foster more inclusive societies in Jordan.

EXPLORING THE PERSPECTIVES OF TEACHER TRAINEES ON THE TEACHING COMPETENCY OF TEACHER EDUCATORS
Authors: Kumari Anupam , Shelat Prerana
Published: September 2024

Education is crucial to national growth. School education and teachers develop future generations. Thus, teacher
education institutes and instructors matter more. National Education Policy 2020 also stressed the importance of teacher
education institutions and educators in improving educator competency. Teachers get pedagogical training, skills, and
knowledge at teacher education institutes to effectively teach and meet varied student needs. Teacher education
improves education and fosters knowledgeable, active individuals who promote society. The Supreme Court-appointed
J. S. Verma Commission (2012) criticized teacher education institutes' inadequate conditions and misconduct.
Revitalizing these institutions is also suggested. The main stakeholder of teacher education institutions is teacher
trainees; hence educators must have greater teaching competency. This research examines teacher trainees' views on
teacher educators' teaching skills. The study variables are teacher educator stream and designation. Survey research is
done to learn teacher trainees' opinions of their teacher educators' instruction. Researchers collected data using the
rubric. Six government-funded Gujarati B.Ed. programs provided data for the researcher. This research examines
teacher trainees' views on their teacher educators' teaching skills

Authors: Singh Yogendra , Chaudhary Sandhya , Kant Ravi
Published: September 2024

This study assessed the Ganga River's water quality in the Aligarh District in relation to industrial wastes.Between May
and June 2024,data were gathered from six sample stations that included upstream,downstream, and midstream areas.
Ex situ examinations (of absolute phosphorus [TP], substance oxygen request [COD], complete nitrogen [TN], organic
oxygen request [BOD] and all out disintegrated solids [TDS]),and were done notwithstanding in situ perceptions (of all
out suspended solids [TSS], electrical conductivity [EC], temperature and pH,).The whole water quality was assessed
using the weighted math water quality index (WQI). Massive contrasts in the water quality indicators between the
sampling locales were tracked down by measurable analysis.Notably,pH values at two sites were higher than what the
MoEF,and WHO considered to be acceptable.The river water was classified as "unsuitable for consumption" by the WQI
results.Significant pollution is evident from the observed fluctuations in indices like COD,BOD,TN,TP,and TSS,which are
mostly caused by industrial emissions.These results emphasize how urgently better pollution control and wastewater
management strategies are needed. The study offers the municipal administration of Aligarh useful information for
creating plans for efficiently managing and preserving the Ganga River,guaranteeing its sustainability and preserving
public health.

Esta revisão de literatura examina o impacto do tempo de tela no desenvolvimento cognitivo e comportamental de crianças em idade pré-escolar, uma fase crítica para o crescimento e a formação de habilidades fundamentais. O uso de telas, incluindo televisão, tablets, smartphones e computadores, tem aumentado significativamente entre crianças pequenas, o que tem gerado preocupações entre pais, educadores e profissionais de saúde. Diversos estudos indicam que o uso excessivo de telas está associado a atrasos no desenvolvimento da linguagem, dificuldades de atenção, e problemas de comportamento, como impulsividade e dificuldades na regulação emocional. A exposição prolongada a telas pode substituir atividades cruciais para o desenvolvimento, como brincadeiras ao ar livre, interações sociais diretas e leitura, que são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento cognitivo e socioemocional. Por outro lado, a literatura também sugere que o conteúdo das mídias acessadas e a supervisão dos pais desempenham papéis importantes. Conteúdos educativos e interativos, quando usados com moderação e em conjunto com a orientação parental, podem oferecer benefícios cognitivos, como o desenvolvimento de habilidades de alfabetização precoce e raciocínio lógico. No entanto, a maioria das pesquisas enfatiza a necessidade de limites no tempo de tela, recomendando que as crianças em idade pré-escolar passem no máximo uma hora por dia em atividades de tela de qualidade, conforme orientações da American Academy of Pediatrics. Além disso, é recomendada a promoção de atividades alternativas que estimulem o desenvolvimento motor, social e cognitivo. Em conclusão, embora o uso de telas possa oferecer alguns benefícios quando adequadamente gerido, o tempo excessivo de exposição está fortemente relacionado a impactos negativos no desenvolvimento cognitivo e comportamental de crianças em idade pré-escolar. Portanto, é essencial que pais e cuidadores estabeleçam limites claros e incentivem atividades que promovam um desenvolvimento saudável e equilibrado.

To study the effect of the combined premix on the assessment of milk productivity, the experiment was divided into two series. In the first series of the experiment, 20 healthy dairy cows were selected and divided into two groups: intact and control, 10 animals in each. The intact group of animals received the diet adopted at the livestock complex, the control group - with the addition of a combined premix at a dose of 300 mg/kg. At the second stage: 20 lactating dairy cows with subclinical mastitis were selected, which were divided into two groups: the first experimental and second experimental groups, 10 animals in each. The first experimental group was subjected to the generally accepted treatment regimen for inflammation of the mammary glands, while the second experimental group additionally received a combined premix. Milk productivity was assessed by conducting laboratory tests of milk, followed by determination of the number of somatic cells. The results of the study show that milk production in the control group increased on the 30th and 60th days of the experiment, against the background of a decrease in the number of somatic cells, compared to the intact group of animals. At the second stage of research, in cows with subclinical mastitis, the combined premix affected the level of milk production in the middle and end of the experiment; this indicator was significantly increased in the second experimental group compared to the first experimental group. The number of somatic cells in the second experimental group decreased on the 30th and 60th days of the experiment, which was significantly lower than in the first experimental group. Thus, the combined premix has a certain stimulating effect on milk production and significantly reduces the number of somatic cells in milk.

Every day, as the world population grows, the need for nutrients also increases, the scale of food production increases, there is a struggle for every percentage increase in the efficiency of its production by improving the genetic potential of the animal, its conditions of detention, feed and feed additives, and so on. One of the most promising options for these purposes may be probiotics. Feed probiotics are non-pathogenic microorganisms that can colonize the gastrointestinal tract of an animal, restoring the natural intestinal microflora, and also have an antagonistic effect on pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. Probiotic microorganisms increase the availability of nutrients for their absorption, improve the absorption capacity of the intestine and, as is clear from the above definition, affect the intestinal microflora, thereby affecting productivity, health, and therefore the economic performance of the farm. The most studied and frequently used probiotic strains are Bacillus subtilis and Lactobacillus acidophilus, which show the greatest effectiveness compared to other microorganisms. This article presents an analysis of literature data and scientific articles by domestic and foreign researchers, which gives an idea of the potential of using feed probiotics to increase the productivity of laying hens and the quality of eggs, as well as strengthening the resistance of the animal’s body. A brief description of the experiments carried out is given and an assessment of their effectiveness is put forward, based on the conclusion of the researchers.

The intrapopulation genetic heterogeneity of semi-fine-wool sheep of the Romney-Marsh type was studied. For this purpose, 50 sheep were genotyped at 12 microsatellite loci. The sample included animals of the Pechora breed group, which had family ties with the extinct northern aboriginal short-tailed sheep, as well as their crosses with Romni-Marsh and Kuibyshev breed rams. A significant violation of the genetic balance according to Hardy-Weinberg was established for the genotypes of the NRA005 and INRA006 loci. In both cases, the χ2 value reached the threshold value for single genotypes: INRA005129/137 and INRA006124/134. In the “Strukture” program, without introducing preliminary information on the classification of individuals by genealogy and other characteristics, we calculated the probability of classifying individual polylocus STR genotypes as genetically differentiated groups. At a probability threshold of 0,8 and above, four groups of genotypes were formed. Genotypes that did not satisfy this condition were combined into a composite zero group. The parameters of genetic diversity were calculated for all groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of the level of genetic diversity. Although the zero group differed from the others in lower observed and higher expected heterozygosity, the value of the inbreeding coefficient (Fis) was close to zero. In other groups, an excess of heterozygotes was found at a level of 13,4–22,6 %. In all groups, excluding the fourth, private alleles were identified. Genetic distances (Fst) between groups ranged from 0,035 between zero and first to 0,132 between first and third. From group zero to group four, the blood quality of sheep in the Pechora semi-fine fleece group and Romney-Marsh group consistently decreased, and the blood level in the Kuibyshevsk breed increased. The genetic contribution of the northern native sheep was minor. The division of the experimental sample into groups using the «Structure» program led to synchronous differentiation by blood (breed), which implies a difference in the selected groups according to selective traits.

Published: September 2024

The GST enzyme is an antioxidant that protects organs against toxic substances. It reduces reactive oxygen species to less reactive metabolites. The GST enzyme has been studied in many living creatures such as sheep, birds, fish, bacteria, cattle, plants and humans. However, no studies on the Goose (Anser anser Domesticus) liver GST enzyme (E.C. 2.5.1.18) have been found in the literature. This study demonstrates the purification and characterization of the GST enzyme from Goose (Anser anser Domesticus) liver tissue by affinity chromatography. Besides, inhibitory effects of Hg2+, Ag2+ and Fe2+ cations and Oxytetracycline HCl, Tylosin Tartrate, Enrofloxacin and Doxycycline Hyclate chemicals on GST enzyme activity were investigated. The research was conducted under in vitro conditions using 1-Chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene method. The degree of purity of the enzyme solution was verified by SDS-PAGE. With the characterization of the enzyme, the optimal pH, optimal ionic strength and optimal temperature values were found to be 7.0, 100 mM and 40 °C, respectively. Separate inhibition graphs of Hg2+, Ag2+, Fe2+, Oxytetracycline HCl, Tylosin Tartrate, Enrofloxacin and Doxycycline Hyclate inhibitors were drawn. IC50 levels of inhibitors were found from the Activity% - [Inhibitor] graphs. As a result, the inhibition order of the inhibitors was found to be Hg2+ > Ag2+ > Fe2+ for cations, and Enrofloxacin ˂ Tylosin Tartrate ˂ Doxycycline Hyclate ˂ Oxytetracycline HCl for chemicals.

Perennial plantation crops, such as coconut trees require the systematic addition of nutrients for sustained growth and productivity. This study aimed to understand plant and soil nutrient dynamics, root health and soil biological properties upon addition of specific nutrients in tropical land use systems. Field experiments in randomised block design were conducted in Agro-Ecological Unit-3 (AEU-3) and Agro-Ecological Unit-9 (AEU-9) from 2014 to 2020. Treatments were T1 (site-specific nutrient management practices (SSNM), T2 (SSNM without sodium chloride); T3 (SSNM without gypsum); T4 (SSNM along with the 50 g microbial formulation Kera Probio); T5 (Farming practice without any amendments or nutrients). Root health parameters, cumulative nut yield and nutrient dynamics in soil and leaf samples were estimated at the beginning and the end of the study. Systematic provision of all the essential nutrients resulted in significant increase content of N (1.39%), P (0.164%), K (1.71%), Ca (0.406%) and Mg (0.175%) in index leaves of coconut trees in sandy soils. Foliar nutrient levels of coconut trees grown in laterite soils were 1.21% N, 0.142% P, 1.27% K, 0.504% Ca and 0.146% Mg. In AEU-3, treatment that received all amendments and nutrients showed highest organic carbon content at the three depths as 6.79 g kg-1soil, 5.39 g kg-1 soil and 3.82 g kg-1, soil, respectively. In AEU-3, 61% increase in yield was observed, while in AEU-9,40% increase was recorded. Application of gypsum resulted in downward displacement of K and Mg indicating that gypsum is required for the amelioration of sub soil acidity in sandy soils. However, the displacement effect was less pronounced in laterite soils and beneficial effect of gypsum was evident with the enhancement of exchangeable Ca. Hence sandy soils require application of inputs as per T3 (T1 without gypsum), with external organic inputs and palm residues whereas in laterite soils application of treatments as per T1 is required with in situ palm residue recycling.
