The Challenges of Teaching Grammar at the University Level: Learning From the Experience of English Lecturer
Authors: Kumayas Tirza , Lengkoan Fergina
Published: December 2023

Grammar overall, is a challenging language skill. Even experienced English lecturers may face difficulties in explaining grammar to students. Grammar is the primary skill to be developed when learning English as a foreign language. Yet, when other languages' skills gained more attention, grammar came to be seen as the least important skill. Without using proper assessment to reduce student understanding, this is frequently explained in a straightforward manner by means of other skills. This study focuses on the challenges English language teachers use when teaching grammar at the second-grade level. In this essay, every single English language teacher participates. The researchers interviewed them, copied, and analysed the data obtained from the interview. Problems and difficulties of students are no less important for lecturers to know in teaching grammatical structures. In this case, English lecturers are challenged to find more strategic and creative ways of teaching grammar. Mastery of good grammar guarantees students' ability to master other skills such as writing and speaking. Due to this, the study may benefit other English language teachers and lead to new ideas for addressing the problem at hand. Everyone agreed that she experienced three challenges while they were learning grammar. This study can be a good reference for other English lecturers and students, and parents in overcoming these challenges.

Published: December 2023

Background: Sepsis is a condition where the body's immune system overreacts to an infection, leading to a widespread inflammatory reaction. Present therapeutic endeavors predominantly concentrate on medications that have the ability to obstruct stages within the inflammatory cascade. Objective: This study sought to examine the influence of statin medication on early sepsis, with a focus on its pleiotropic effects and prognostic implications. A total of fifty patients diagnosed with early sepsis were included in the study. These patients were admitted to the critical care departments of Ain Shams University and the National Heart Institute between February 2012 and February 2013. The patients were categorized into two cohorts: the statins group, which consisted of individuals undergoing heart surgery and getting a daily dose of 80 mg of atorvastatin for four consecutive days, in addition to traditional sepsis therapy; and the control group, which only received conventional sepsis therapy. Results: The results showed that a brief period of intense statin medication led to a considerable decrease in levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) by day 4. Although there was no significant decrease in nitric oxide (Nox) levels, the total cholesterol levels remained unchanged.

Authors: Sholihah Faridatus , Ulfa Nanik
Published: December 2023

This research is motivated by the low cognitive learning outcomes of students in the thematic learning of Class IV Indonesian Cultural Diversity. The contributing factor is the lack of variation in the learning methods and media used. This results in low student knowledge, especially on cultural diversity. To solve this problem, the researchers applied the Numbered Head Together (NHT) method with the Cultural Map Media so that student learning outcomes could improve. This study uses the PTK model from Kemmis and Mc Taggart which consists of 4 stages including: planning (planning), action (action), observation (observing) and reflection (reflection). However, given the increasing spread of Covid-19, the research was stopped until the planning stage provided that all research instruments had to be validated. The results of the instrument validation were: RPP percentage score was 78.5%; percentage score of learning media 86%; Group worksheet score 82.5%; score percentage of written test questions 84.5%; the observation guideline percentage score was 78%. Based on the results of instrument validation, it can be concluded that all instruments obtain valid criteria and are suitable for use in the learning process.

Authors: Kalamkar Uma , Kulkarni Dilip K. , Patwardhan Ankur
Published: December 2023

Mutha is an east-flowing seasonal river flowing through Pune City, one of the most urbanized cities in Western Maharashtra. Ever-increasing urban sprawl has negatively affected the riparian vegetation and river ecology. Hence present study was conducted to document plant diversity along the Mutha River banks and provide suggestions to conserve and enhance the existing diversity. A total of 243 flowering plant species belonging to 204 genera and 68 families were recorded from various sites located along the river. The maximum number of species (100) were recorded from Vitthalwadi, followed by Khadakwasla (93). Dominant families in the study region were Asteraceae and Poaceae, followed by Fabaceae, Malvaceae, Convolvulaceae and Euphorbiaceae. Comparison with previous studies revealed the disappearance of species from families Hydrocharitaceae, Molluginaceae, Campanulaceae, Gentianaceae, Nyctaginaceae, Orchidaceae and Amaryllidaceae which were recorded in 1958. Garbage dumping, microhabitats loss, pollution, invasive species, and urban development are major threats to Mutha vegetation.
BRUNO MIGLIORINI, L’ESPERANTO E LA LINGVOTEKNIKO
Authors: Grassano Matteo
Published: December 2023

Il saggio esplora l’influenza che il dibattito sull’esperanto e sulle lingue pianificate degli anni Venti e Trenta ebbe sullo sviluppo della linguistica di Bruno Migliorini. Nello specifico, la prima parte del lavoro ripercorre le voci Esperanto e Internazionali, Lingue, che l’autore redasse per l’Enciclopedia Italiana. La seconda parte allarga l’analisi ad alcuni saggi esperantisti di Migliorini e mostra in quale modo lo studio delle lingue pianificate contribuì all’elaborazione dei presupposti teorici della glottotecnica, la lingvotekniko. Come aveva notato Tullio De Mauro, in questo percorso fu fondamentale anche l’esperienza redazionale all’Enciclopedia, dal momento che stimolò l’attenzione del linguista verso le terminologie tecnico-scientifiche e nutrì così la sua riflessione sui meccanismi di funzionamento dei sistemi linguistici, tanto naturali quanto artificiali.

 

Bruno Migliorini, Esperanto and Lingvotekniko

The essay explores the influence that the debate on Esperanto and Planned Languages in the 1920s and 1930s had on the development of Bruno Migliorini’s linguistics. Specifically, the first part of the work examines the entries Esperanto and Internazionali, Lingue, that the author wrote for the Enciclopedia Italiana. The second part extends the analysis to some of Migliorini’s Esperanto essays and shows how the study of Planned languages contributed to the elaboration of the theoretical assumptions of glottotecnica (lingvotekniko). As Tullio De Mauro noted, the editorial experience at the Enciclopedia was also fundamental in this process, since it stimulated the linguist’s attention towards technical-scientific terminologies and nourished his considerations on the functioning mechanisms of linguistic systems, both natural and artificial.

Orchid Value: Uncovering Its Significance for the People of Assam- A Review Analysis
Authors:   MDKG College Dibrugarh-786001, Assam, India, Saikia Purnima
Published: December 2023

Orchids are one of the largest groups of Angiosperms belonging to the family Orchidaceae. They are no doubt one of the most beautiful and fascinating flowers of nature and are highly popular as ornamental plants in both national and international markets. Besides ornamental value, orchids have immense ethnomedicinal significance. In Assam, orchids have been associated with the culture of Assamese people since the past, especially in the traditional system of medicine used and described by the ethnic communities and tribes. The present paper emphasizes the medicinal uses of some of the orchids of Assam and their use for curing various ailments. However, with the advent of modern civilization and the lack of spread of proper ethnomedicinal knowledge, its awareness and beneficial values are slowly declining. Therefore, the preservation and conservation of these orchids by modern biotechnological approaches along with proper propagation of their ethnomedicinal values is necessary for their benefit to humanity.

Antibiotics can contribute to bacterial resistance, posing a significant public health concern. Synbiotics represent an effective alternative to antibiotics, promoting the balance of intestinal microbiota and creating a conducive environment for beneficial bacteria growth. This study aimed to assess the utility of the synbiotic supplement (+Poultry) as a substitute for antibiotics in broiler diets from 1 to 42 days of age. We evaluated its impact on performance during two stages: 1 to 21 days and 1 to 42 days, digestibility coefficients, metabolizable energy, duodenum and jejunum morphometry, carcass yield, and hematological parameters. A total of 440 Ross 308 strain broiler chicks, both males and females, were accommodated in 2m² cages from day 1 to day 42. The birds were randomly assigned to four treatments, with each treatment having five replications consisting of 22 birds, thus forming 20 experimental plots. The treatment groups were as follows: Basal diet (BD) without the addition of antibiotics or synbiotics, BD with 150ppm zinc bacitracin (BCZ), BD with 0.5kg/t of synbiotic, and BD with 1kg/t of synbiotic. The synbiotic supplement (+Poultry) used in this experiment, provided by Nutri+, contained amino acids, minerals, probiotic culture, prebiotic additives, and flavoring additives. Throughout the experiment, all birds were subjected to a weekly sanitary challenge, which involved using reused litter and water contaminated with litter. Treatment effects were observed on feed conversion (P = 0.0100) of broilers aged 1 to 21 days, indicating improved feed conversion in broilers consuming BD + 1kg/t synbiotic compared to BD alone. Consequently, we recommend the incorporation of a synbiotic supplement at a rate of 1kg/t as a viable antibiotic replacement for chickens aged 1 to 21 days. The tested synbiotic supplement shows promise as an antibiotic alternative in broiler diets at all life stages, maintaining both performance and bird health.

Authors: Ferreira Trevizan Rosana , Goretti Santos Ricardo
Published: December 2023

A crise do Judiciário impacta a vida dos cidadãos, restringindo o acesso à justiça e a garantia dos direitos fundamentais. Nesta pesquisa, destaca-se a desjudicialização como fenômeno capaz de minimizar os danos sofridos nesta área. Para isso, propôs-se o estudo do testamento público, feito nas serventias extrajudiciais, como forma de prevenir litígios quando da sucessão do testador. Propõe-se uma medida de amenização para a crise do Judiciário. O problema de pesquisa é: testamento público pode ser utilizado como forma de planejamento sucessório e prevenção de litígios? Tem como objetivo demonstrar que o testamento público é um instrumento eficaz de planejamento sucessório e de prevenção de litígio. Adotou-se o método dedutivo. O referencial teórico do acesso à justiça pauta-se em Cappelletti e Garth. O estudo aborda a crise do Judiciário, o acesso à justiça por vias alternativas; planejamento sucessório e suas implicações; Testamento Público como forma de planejamento sucessório e de estratégia de desjudicialização. Conclui-se que, com a feitura do testamento, a probabilidade da vontade do testador ser seguida, sem litígios, é maior do que na ausência do testamento, podendo o inventário e a partilha serem extrajudiciais, perante os cartórios de notas. Há uma tendência de se adotar as vias extrajudiciais.

Diagnóstico da Erosão, Transporte e Deposição de Solos em Pequena Bacia Hidrográfica: o caso do Ribeirão Jacupiranga
Authors: Uema Diogo Yukio , Muller Tais , Santil Fernando Luiz de Paula
Published: December 2023

Os processos erosivos são impactos frequentes nas áreas de produção agropastoril mundialmente. O meio ambiente, naturalmente, sofre de erosão, porém a antropização acelera o processo. Em certos locais, o tipo de solo arenoso pode acentuar o transporte das partículas de solo. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho utilizou a Equação Universal de Perda de Solos, o potencial natural à erosão, e a razão de produção de sedimentos, três métodos de álgebra de mapas que unifica diversos fatores naturais e antrópicos, a fim de calcular e espacializar a erosão do solo em duas bacias hidrográficas no Noroeste do Paraná, a do ribeirão Jacupiranga, de primeira ordem e de segunda ordem, ambas em área de transição de solo argilo-arenoso. Os resultados mostraram uma baixa alteração nos valores de perda de solos durante um período de 17 anos. Com os resultados, pode-se analisar que a área é estável quanto à erosão, e altamente mecanizada, porém nas pequenas áreas em que houveram mudanças, ocorreram por causa de alterações no uso da terra, ou seja, a antropização foi a causa de alterações nos padrões naturais da área. As maiores influencias são das classes de 0 a 3, 10 a 20 e 20 a 50.
Diálogos Possíveis entre a Obra de Augustin Berque e a Geografia Brasileira
Authors: Marandola Hugo Leonardo , Gil Filho Sylvio Fausto
Published: December 2023

A obra de Augustin Berque versa sobre variados temas a partir da Geografia, Arquitetura, Filosofia e pensamento oriental. Apesar da proximidade com discussões realizadas no âmbito da geografia brasileira, há uma lacuna em pesquisas que dialoguem profundamente com sua obra. Algumas pesquisas brasileiras se aventuraram por alguns aspectos de seu pensamento e abriram o caminho para possíveis aproximações. Neste texto serão apresentados alguns dos diálogos já estabelecidos no contexto da geografia brasileira. Em seguida, é realizado um esforço de compreensão de algumas das bases da obra de Berque, que se coloca numa busca de alternativas à prática científica dominante, que se funda em um dualismo entre sujeito e objeto. Com um movimento desde o pensamento oriental, principalmente chinês e japonês, parte de uma outra ontologia e outra lógica para a compreensão da relação entre a humanidade e a Terra, em suas palavras uma proposta onto-lógica. Ao buscar diluir a cisão entre sujeito e objeto tem como base, dentre outros, a fenomenologia hermenêutica do filósofo japonês Watsuji Tetsurô e as investigações biológicas de Jakob von Uexküll. Também são discutidas as noções de trajeção e cadeia trajetiva como formas de compreender a relação estabelecida entre a humanidade e a Terra.
Cidades Médias: apontamentos sobre a discussão conceitual
Authors: Lopes Breno de Abreu
Published: December 2023

O debate a respeito das cidades médias é extenso e suscita pontos que vão desde a questão conceitual às divergentes realidades espaciais apresentadas por elas na rede urbana. Sendo assim, o artigo que se apresenta é de natureza teórica e realiza uma breve discussão conceitual a partir da literatura a respeito das cidades médias. Por isso, objetiva-se fazer um resgate conceitual partindo do pressuposto de que não há uma única ideia a respeito do que é cidade média, sendo oportuno traçar algumas das diferentes concepções a esse respeito. A pesquisa foi construída mediante estudos exploratórios em bibliografia de autores especializados, apreciação crítica e recorte das ideias mais pertinentes. Mediante o estudo, pode-se concluir que o debate conceitual a respeito das cidades médias é complexo e que não há ainda um conceito usualmente utilizado, mas vários, aspecto este apontado por alguns autores. Ou seja, aponta-se na literatura que mais do que buscar traçar um conceito, faz-se pertinente compreender que existem várias concepções de cidades médias, baseando-se na pluralidade socioespacial da rede urbana, devendo os pesquisadores buscarem as referências teóricas e elementos empíricos que melhor se adequam às realidades socioespaciais que buscam analisar.
Abordarea tipologică a textelor din domeniul sănătății publice produse în perioada pandemiei Covid-19
Authors: David Ala
Published: December 2023

The article aims to carry out a typological analysis of specialized texts produced in the specific socio-communicational context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The synthesis of the theoretical postulates and the description of the traditional classifications (A. Bidu-Vrănceanu, J.-M Berthelot, A.-M., Loffler-Laurian, D. Rovența-Frumușani, Kocourek, Rostislav) allow the identification of relevant features in order to establish the typologies according to the sender, the recipient, and the target domain. During the public health crisis, official international and national websites are an important source of information. Thus, informational and descriptive texts such as weekly epidemiological bulletins, communication documents, summary reports, posters, video and audio information, epidemiological studies with key statistical data on confirmed cases, the incidence of detection and hospitalization, variants of the virus, and vaccination contribute to the internationalization of the terminology used in the pandemic discourse. These texts target a heterogeneous audience from the perspectives of knowledge, information, and application. The specialized text related to the pandemic context is the linguistic unit that transmits certain knowledge specific to a field, having an informative, descriptive, and argumentative value and a stance-taking impact. The communicative role of public health texts during the Covid-19 pandemic is well specified and defined, making them an interesting source of analysis from a terminological, pragmatic, and stylistic perspective.

Heat Treatment Effect on Thermal, Micro-Crystal Structure and Magnetic Behavior of Ni45Mn40Sn10Cu5 Heusler Shape Memory Alloy
Authors: MALKOÇ Türkan
Published: December 2023

Ni-Mn-Sn-based Heusler alloys are important materials that have potential applications as environmentally friendly smart materials with beneficial properties as well as being magnetic. Both the magnetic field-induced reverse martensitic transformation and the high operating temperature are crucial for the applications of Ni-Mn-Sn-based magnetic shape memory alloys. In this study, martensite transformation temperatures were determined by applying different heat treatments (700 °C, 900 °C, 1100 °C) to Ni45Mn40Sn10Cu5 sample produced by Arc Melter melting method. While reverse conversion was observed in T2 (no heat treatment) and 700°C heat treatment, no reverse conversion was observed at 900°C and 1100°C. When the X-ray diffractogram was examined, martensite phase and γ phase were determined. When the magnetic hysteresis of the samples was examined, it was observed that the magnetic saturation went towards zero with the increase in heat treatment and accordingly, there was a decrease in the magnetization effect.
An Overview of Land Routes in Byzantine Anatolia (ca. 4th-7th c. CE)
Authors: KAYA Tülin
Published: December 2023

This paper presents an overview of land routes in Byzantine Anatolia during the period between the fourth and seventh centuries CE and aims to explain the development of the routes in Byzantine Anatolia in a changing context. Understanding the emergence of routes, which expanded in Byzantine Anatolia, comes from the earlier-built Roman roads. The development and the use of routes during the period in question were largely shaped by the construction and use of Roman roads, both administratively and politically. Archaeological evidence indicates that the Romans restored the main roads until the early seventh century, and maintained them during the Byzantine period. The use of routes was significantly impacted by the foundation of Constantinople as the new capital and the development of more ‘centralized rule’ in the Roman Empire in the fourth century. Rather than explaining and discussing all the routes of Anatolia in detail, this study aims to outline the ways in which major routes developed in Byzantine Anatolia.

Authors: Nowak Kamil
Published: December 2023

The hoard from Jodłowno, near Gdańsk, about 27 km from the coast of the Baltic Sea in northern Poland, was found in 2021. The hoard, comprising 68 metal artefacts, was accidentally discovered during an authorised metal detector survey in the area. Its upper part was disturbed upon discovery, but the lower one has remained intact, enabling the reconstruction of the finds’ position within the deposit. The hoard included four cast hollow ankle rings, six bow-shaped neck rings, two pieces of casting waste, three neck ring and bracelet fragments, four forged blades and fragments, and forty-nine cast metal bars. The paper aims to present this unique find assemblage from Poland and the results of the first attempt at reconstructing the production methods of certain artefacts by analysing the traces on their surfaces.
Az S végű karika kialakulása és elterjedése
Authors: Mesterházy Károly
Published: December 2023

Az S-végű karika használata a közép avar korban (7. század utolsó negyede) indult. Legkorábbi formája a többszörös S-végű karika volt, és szerepe fülbevaló. A késői avar kort követően ez a divat megváltozott, és hajkarika lett belőle, a többszörös S-vég pedig egyszerű S-végre változott. A legkorábbi lelőhelyek a Balaton környékén találhatók (Keszthely, Kereki, Badacsonytomaj, stb.). Ez a fülbevaló divat jelent meg a morva szlávoknál a Morava és a Thaya folyó völgyeiben, később pedig majdnem mindenhol a nyugati szlávoknál.
A tatai bencés apátság nyomában
Authors: Kovács Bianka Gina , Libor Csilla
Published: December 2023

A tatai Nagykert utcában 1979-ben útépítés miatt egy templom körüli temető részlete került elő. A leletanyag alapján feltételezhető, hogy a temetőt a 11. században kezdték használni. A feltárt temetkezések csaknem egyharmada épített sír, melyek nagyobb számban való előfordulása a bencés apátságok temetőiben jellemző. Bár a kutatás szerint elfogadott tény, hogy a tatai bencés apátság a mai Fürdő utca környékén állt, az emellett szóló érvek nem teljesen meggyőzőek. A temetőrészlet jellege alapján elképzelhetőnek tartjuk, hogy az apátság a Nagykert utca környékére lokalizálható.
Late Palaeolithic to Early Mesolithic transition in the Carpathian Basin
Authors: Király Attila , Kertész Róbert
Published: December 2023

Szekszárd-Palánk is one of the handful in situ excavated sites from the Late Glacial period of East-Central Europe which is also supported by radiometric dating. However, the considerable time that has passed since its discovery necessitates a revision, the topic of this paper. The technotypological analogues of the assemblage are Late Epigravettian – Early Mesolithic sites of the Northern Balkans to the south, and Epimagdalenian sites of the Moravian Basin to the north. These analogues, the southern location and northern raw materials of the site support two previous hypotheses: the regional survival of the Epigravettian traditions, and the pivotal role of the Danube in the communication between East-Central Europe and the Balkans in the Late Glacial – Early Postglacial. The site is thus identified as a Final Epigravettan, Late Palaeolithic – Early Mesolithic transitional industry.

Cikkünkben a középkori kesztölc-klastrompusztai Szent Kereszt pálos kolostor 1959 és 1961 között zajlott feltárása során előkerült, ám mindeddig csak részben feldolgozott kőfaragvány-anyagának teljes körű bemutatására és értelmezésére teszünk kísérletet. A tanulmányban közölt 93 gótikus faragvány révén teljesebb képet kaphatunk a pálos rend anyakolostorának építéstörténetéről. Az alábbiakban csoportosítva vizsgáljuk a káptalani terem és a kolostortemplom feltárásából származó kőemlékeket. A kövek egy késő Anjou-kori építkezési periódusról árulkodnak, amely egy egységes rendi építkezési hullám része volt.
The ‘Epipalaeolithic’ site Hont–Templomdomb of Northern Hungary revisited
Authors: Szegedi Kristóf István , Lengyel György , Marton Tibor
Published: December 2023

This paper presents the results of the typological revision of Hont-Templomdomb site originally published in 1956 as Epipalaeolithic. Our observations contradict the Epipalaeolithic cultural and chronological position of the lithic material, which rather can be affiliated with the Late Gravettian of Eastern Central Europe. Current archaeological data allowed us to conclude that the term ‘Epipalaeolithic’ currently is inappropriate in the Palaeolithic chronological sequence of the Carpathian Basin. This led to considering the possibility of a human population hiatus during GI-1 interstadial and GS-1 stadial phases.

Published: December 2023

Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between perceived corporate image of society and perceived external prestige (PEP) nurses at the same hospital. Method: Design of the research by cross sectional study. The PCI measurement population is a community that knows about the hospital with a total sample of 235 people. PEP measurement population is nurses working in hospitals with a total of 214 people. Sample of study are 171 patients and community with proportionate random sampling. Result: this study described that no correlation between PCI community and PEP nurse for 5 (five) hospitals, p = 0.778 (α > 0.05). Beside that, no correlation between PEPH community and PEPH nurse (p= 0,959, α > 0,05) and no correlation between PEPM community and PEPM nurse, with p= 0,501 (α >0,05). These suggests that there is no relationship between nurse perceptions of what the PCI community. Nonetheless, PEP is positive for increased organizational identification. It is expected that the hospital management will try to grow the confidence level and pride of the nurses on the hospital. Confidence in PEP can support nurse retention efforts. Conclusion: It is recommended in subsequent researchers to develop other variables in measuring PCI community and PEP nurses.

Published: December 2023

Fenomena Korean Wave/Hallyu bertumbuh secara signifikan beberapa tahun terakhir, khususnya di kalangan generasi muda. Sebanyak 56% penggemar k-pop menghabiskan waktu 1-5 jam, 28% bahkan menghabiskan lebih dari 6 jam di internet melalui berbagai Sosial media untuk mempelajari segala hal terkait idola mereka. Celebrity Worship adalah segala tindakan atau emosi yang timbul oleh kebutuhan untuk mengagumi seorang idola demi kesenangan, kepuasan atau mengisi kekosongan dalam diri. Sangat umum bagi remaja ketika memiliki seseorang idola, karena cenderung masih dalam pencarian jati diri dan melihat selebriti sebagai sosok role model selain orang tua mereka. Identitas Diri adalah pengakuan dan kesadaran yang memerlukan waktu dan proses pemikiran untuk mendapatkan ciri khas, peranan, komitmen, orientasi dan tujuan hidup sehingga membuat diri kita berbeda dengan orang lain. Tujuan dari penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi peran Celebrity Worship terhadap Identitas Diri. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode purposive sampling serta memakai alat ukur Celebrity Attitude Scale (α=900) dengan 34 butir item, dan The Social and Personal Identities Scale (α=.957) dengan 16 butir item. Penyebaran kuesioner dilakukan melalui Sosial media Instagram dan mendapat 462 responden yang sesuai dengan kriteria. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan tidak ada peran Celebrity Worship terhadap Identitas Diri.

The research analyzes limitations of democracy in enforcing its values and institutions in countries that have authoritarian leaders. The study delves into the political landscape of Cameroon, where leadership operates in absolute authoritarianism. It investigates electoral deficiencies and manipulations, which hinders democratic process. The research reveals that despite claims of electoral reforms in undemocratic nations, opposition parties struggle against electoral frauds. The research concludes that democracy's implementation in authoritarian regimes is compromised by concentration of power and lack of genuine oppositions, leading to a hybrid political system that exhibits authoritarian tendencies flourishing with ease within democratic structures; in other words democracy helping authoritarians to attain legitimacy.

Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) memberi kontribusi besar terhadap perekonomian Indonesia baik terhadap melalui Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) maupun penyerapan tenaga kerja. Dengan porsi 99% dari total pelaku usaha di Indonesia dan disertai fleksibiitas dalam mempertahankan usaha, UMKM mampu menjadi mesin penggerak perekonomian terutama pada masa kritis. Sebagaimana permasalahan umum UMKM, PT S.B. Karta Raharja, sebuah usaha menengah yag sedang mengupayakan ekspor juga mengalami permasalahan dalam pengembangan kapasitas bisnisnya. Permasalahan yang muncul diantaranya kebutuhan encatatan transaksi keuangan dan persediaan serta perluasan cakupan pasar. Dalam kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat ini, tim menawarkan pembuatan aplikasi pencatatan keuangan dan persediaan serta pengembangan pasar melalui pemasaran online seperti wa bisnis, Instagram, dan web profile bisnis. Hal ini disambut baik oleh mitra dan selama pendampingan awal, program ini berjalan lancar. Namun demikian dalam evaluasi akhir setelah jeda pendampingan, mitra tidak melanjutkan pencatatan dengan aplikasi excell karena keterbatasan sumber daya manusia. Namun di sisi lain program pengembangan pemasaran online cukup berjalan meski relative lambat karena mitra sedang focus menyiapkan ekspor produk. Sebagai bahan masukan atas kegiatan pengabdian Masyarakat ini, mitra berharap dapat diberikan masa pendampingan yang lebih lama dan memiliki pegawai yang secara khusus bertanggung jawab terhadap pencatatan.
Citizenship Education for Adult Immigrants: Changes Over the Last Ten Years
Authors: Derwing Tracey M. , Jamieson Kama , Munro Murray J.
Published: December 2023

During the past few years Citizenship and Immigration Canada has significantly changed the citizenship process by modifying the application procedure, eliminating many citizenship judge positions, introducing a multiple-choice test, and restructuring the citizenship ceremony itself. In order to assess the impact of these changes on citizenship education, we located and contacted citizenship programs across the country. For comparison purposes we followed much the same procedure used in a study conducted for the Secretary of State 10 years ago. The current study identified far fewer programs available to adult immigrants than in the past. Furthermore, since the last study the scope of the content in citizenship education programs has remained essentially unchanged in some instances or has been reduced in others. Recommendations are made for policy-makers.

Vectors play an important role in disease transmission, globally. Despite various advancements in vector management, mosquitoes are still prime vectors of dreadful diseases which influences human health and economy as well. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) is a major bacterium that produces δ-endotoxin, which can kill the certain strains of mosquito larvae. Bti based biopesticides can be used as an alternative technique to control insects. Biopesticides derived from Bti are the most prominent biological agents for selective control of insect pests. In this study we aim to produce Bti using different cost-effective medias based on the fruit, pulses and sea food waste and other such materials using solid state fermentation techniques (SSF). SSF has been described as the process that takes place in solid matrix in the absence or near absence of water, and the substrate requires less moisture to support the growth and metabolic activity of organisms. Here, in the present study we use different fruit wastes as carbon sources and other wastes as nitrogen source to optimize cost effective and efficient media for the growth and sporulation of Bti. Fruit juices of rotten fruits like pineapple, grapes, watermelon etc were used as a substrate for the production of Bti. Nitrogenous supplements like prawn peel powder, peanut meal extract, poultry manure was also used for the overproduction of Bti. Finally, the larvicidal efficiency of the novel media was also determined. This method was found to be cost effective and is functional also, and it can solve the problems caused by fruit waste accumulation. It can also reduce the problems inflicted by disease carrying vectors like mosquitoes.

Revitalizing Mumbai's Housing Landscape: Unraveling the Evolution, Challenges, and Strategies in Urban Renewal of Old and Dilapidated Structures
Authors:   BMS School of Architecture, Yelahanka, Bengaluru, Kumari M Ar.Vijaya
Published: December 2023

The research paper delves into Mumbai's urban evolution, narrating its journey from a fishing village to becoming India's second-largest commercial center. The city's growth is dissected, considering historical, geographical, and economic influences, particularly focusing on the dynamic changes in housing typology. A critical aspect explored is the unintended impact of the Rent Control Act, which, by freezing rents since 1940, has resulted in neglected properties, necessitating comprehensive redevelopment strategies. Government interventions, such as the Cluster Approach, Joint Ventures, and targeted policies for Chawls and Gaothans, are analyzed in the context of urban renewal. Public-Private Partnerships, notably with MHADA, emerge as pivotal elements in fostering collaborative models for redevelopment. The study emphasizes Mumbai's adaptive strategies to address housing challenges and stresses the importance of sustainable and resilient policies for the city's housing future. In this context, the research underscores the transformative role of redevelopment in Mumbai's real estate dynamics, driven by a new generation of discerning homebuyers prioritizing quality of life.
