Life cycle analysis of anaerobic digestion processes of poultry litter
Authors: Carneiro Gabriel Neme Barbosa Veisac , Aquino Sérgio Francisco de , Adarme Oscar Fernando Herrera
Published: May 2024

Este artigo apresenta resultados de análise do ciclo de vida dos processos de digestão anaeróbia de cama de aviário (CA) precedida ou não de pré-tratamento térmico (auto-hidrólise). Para tanto, foram avaliadas as categorias de impacto ambiental, emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), eutrofização e acidificação do solo por meio do método ReCiPe Midpoint (H). Com base em dados primários fornecidos por uma empresa parceira, foram construídos inventários de ciclo de vida para três formas de manejo de dejetos de aves: i. descarte de CA in natura no solo, que é a técnica de manejo comumente utilizada; ii. digestão anaeróbia de CA in natura; e iii. pré-tratamento térmico por auto-hidrólise da CA antes da sua digestão anaeróbia. Conclui-se que a digestão anaeróbia da CA reduz as emissões de GEE em comparação ao cenário business as usual de disposição no solo. O uso do digestato (fração líquida gerada na digestão anaeróbia da CA) como fertilizante de solo resultaria em emissões de GEE evitadas de 34%, ao passo que o pré-tratamento térmico por auto-hidrólise da CA previamente à sua digestão anaeróbia resultaria em redução de emissões de GEE um pouco menor (27%). A digestão anaeróbia da CA in natura reduziria ainda o potencial de eutrofização em 98,2% (kg eq PO4-3/t cama) e o potencial de acidificação em 98,4% (kg eq SO2/t cama) em relação à sua disposição no solo. Tais resultados mostram que a digestão anaeróbia é uma forma mais sustentável de manejo da CA do que o seu lançamento no ambiente.
Ontohackers: Radical Movement Philosophy in the Age of Extinctions and Algorithms, Part I
Authors: del Val Jaym*/Jaime
Published: May 2024

Ontohackers redefines what movement, worlds, and bodies are through the sense of proprioception reconceptualized as formless fluctuation field, a movement matrix that is itself also thought, and which underlies all life forms and fields including the inorganic. Our worlds are made of endless such entangled fields n-folding in never ending variation or enferance. The current planetary crisis has emerged due to an accidental evolutionary alignment, narrowing, and impoverishment of that matrix’s indeterminacy, that appeared gradually and eventually with bipedalism, and which created an imbalance between the larger proprioceptive field and its brain, and made the atrophied body extend itself technically in geometric fields gradually covering the planet, along with its fears, with disastrous consequences that are unleashing an unprecedented type of mass extinction and species suicide.

The reply to this crisis – which is urgently due if we are to reduce even slightly the collapse coming up over the next decades – is in recovering a lost sensorimotor plasticity which is also cognitive, affective, and relational plasticity, through developing movement technes for cultivating Body Intelligence (BI), reversing and taking elsewhere the failed evolution culminating in AI, stepping down from humanist suprematist pedestals, undoing our dependency from unsustainable killing machines of sedentary consumerism that impoverish experience, stopping the reproduction of a species that has become plague (by reversing heteronormative reproductive dogmas till we reach preagricultural population levels), and recovering the joys of moving with the world, in symbiotic mutation, towards unprecedented evolutionary variations: this is our cosmic responsibility for all life on Earth.

The book’s structure expresses Enferance Theory with regard to how processes of becoming have a triple movement: an incipiency unfolding the field (Part I); a condensation-expansion where the field acquires full consistency (Part II), and a resonance or memory of the field relating to other fields (Part III).

Part I includes Books 1 to 3 out of 7. The preface sets the context of the book: the extinction crisis. Book 1 provides an introduction to the entire field of the book and metareflects on the book’s structure and process. Book 2 is a full treatise on proprioception, developing the theory of Body Intelligence and addressing core issues of cognition, perception, communication, and an ontological redefinition of the body as proprioceptive swarm. Book 3 develops all core concepts of Radical Movement Philosophy, unfolding into several sections, first introducing the fluctation, field, and swarm theory, secondly the core concepts of clinaos (indeterminacy), metabody (consistency), and intraduction (variation), coming together in the concept of enferance. Finally, another triad further unfolds the previous as rhythm (affect), orientation (desire), and contact (sex), closing with an orgiastic cosmo-ontology that opens the way to Part II.
The Variations of Carbonic Anhdrase in Species of the Genera of $Mus$ Linnaeus, 1758 and $Rattus$ Fischer, 1803 (Mammalia: Rodentia) in the Line of Ankara - Zonguldak Provinces
Authors: Yiğit Nuri , Aydıncılar Ömer Faruk , Çolak Ercüment
Published: May 2024

Carbonic anhydrase (CA1) enzyme variations of one hundred and forty six specimens of $Mus domesticus$, $Mus macedonicus$ (House mice) and one hundred and twenty specimens of $Rattus rattus$ (Roof rat) and $Rattus norvegicus$ (Brown rat) were examined by the field work conducted in 23 localities in the line of Ankara-BoluZonguldak. It was determined that CA1 was fixed to two different homozygous alleles in both house mouse species. In the roof rat samples, CA1 was fixed to two homozygous alleles at different frequencies in two groups formed according to the colour of the back fur. A single homozygous allele was detected at the CA1 locus of brown rat samples. It was observed that these four species were separated in the UPGMA tree made according to allele frequencies. In this respect, it was evaluated that CA1 could be a molecular marker that can be used to distinguish these species.

Establishing Research instrument to measure inclusiveness of adaptive methodologies in engineering education
Authors: Katara Aruna , Patwardhan Umesh
Published: May 2024

Engineering Education has been a key to socioeconomic growth of India (developing economy). However, during the last decade there has been less enrollment in engineering institutes especially across rural India which has even led to closure of some institutes. It is conjectured that this problem can be addressed by adaptive educational strategies. Hence it is necessary to understand the efforts taken by engineering institutes in practicing adaptive educational strategies. The objective of this study is to design and test a reliable survey instrument to understand the extent of existence of adaptive education in engineering educational institutes. For the same, a research survey instrument with 8 constructs involving 57 items related to adaptive educational techniques was developed. A pilot survey comprising 61 students at various engineering institutes was carried out and its analysis was done using SPSS software. The reliability test was carried out by checking Cronbach alpha. Research instrument so tested, found reliable since scale reliability for all constructs lies within permissible range. Descriptive Statistics, demographics and related cross tabulation, and correlation between the constructs were established. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was carried out. It was found from the result that the constructs are independent of demographic variables. Out of 08 constructs, 04 are factorable based on BTS, KMO and PCA tests. The deviation of mean from the top ratings of likert scale indicates the need of adaptive system inclusiveness in almost all educational parameters. The Research instrument can be used for large sample surveys.

Authors: Banakar Lohit , G. S Dr. Rajanna.
Published: May 2024

Innovation in IoT data analytics is essential for social and economic advancement as well as for opening up new business prospects. IoT data analytics applications have garnered a lot of attention lately for information mining, knowledge extraction, and prediction/inference making. Another field of study that has been effectively used to address a variety of networking issues, including resource allocation, routing, traffic engineering, and security, is machine learning. The use of machine learning (ML)-based techniques to enhance different Internet of Things applications has increased recently. Despite a wealth of research on machine learning and IoT data analytics, there is a dearth of studies that only address the development of ML-based methods for IoT data analysis. The present study examines the patenting practices of various international jurisdictions in the domain of IoT data analytics, in addition to the academically cited literature. Between 2000 and 2023, we gathered 24,931 patent applications, and 13,432 scholarly works were cited by the patents. Our research details the trends in the development of IoT data analytics technologies and the relationship between patenting activity and the referenced scientific literature. Additionally, it examines and displays the social networks found in scientific publications and patents. As a result, it discloses the patenting practices of international jurisdictions concerning IoT data analytics technologies, the degree to which different agents such as Lens Id and Applicants interact within social networks, and the connection between patents and science. According to this study, information retrieval, database structures, and file system structures make up the majority of the IPC categories for filed IoT data analytics patent applications. Chinese businesses and individuals make up the bulk of the patent Lens Id and Applicants. Computer science and medicine are scientific fields that are more strongly connected within the network of co-fields. The relationship between scientific works and inventions is not very strong.

Published: May 2024

Exploring the efficacy of a biofeedback-driven stress management initiative for college students, particularly those grappling with heightened stress and anxiety in their initial semesters, this comprehensive paper delves into an intricate study involving thirty randomly assigned first-year students segregated into biofeedback intervention and control groups. The biofeedback cohort immersed themselves in an extensive five-week training regimen, harnessing biofeedback for adept stress and anxiety management, whereas the control group remained devoid of specific training. Remarkable revelations surfaced: the biofeedback ensemble maintained a commendable stability in stress levels, adeptly countering the control group’s palpable surge. Moreover, the biofeedback faction showcased a marked reduction in anxiety, sharply juxtaposed with the control group’s moderately escalating levels. Conclusively, the study vehemently posits the resounding efficacy of biofeedback-centric stress management in alleviating anxiety and steadying stress levels amidst a myriad of first-year college students across diverse fields. This groundbreaking intervention holds immense potential in amplifying academic prowess, nurturing holistic well-being, and furnishing students with indispensable stress management tools for their intricate academic and professional journeys.

Published: May 2024

Work-life balance is a broad concept including proper prioritizing between “work” (career and ambition) on one hand and “life” (Health, pleasure, leisure, family and spiritual development) on the other. Work/life imbalance is when the pressures from one role make it difficult to comply with the demands of the other. (Greenhaus & Beutell, 1985). Dual career family has become the need of an hour, demographic profiles are changing, nowadays, people are moving from their home town to the place where they are getting work and obviously because of which they have less working hands to take care of children and family. And this is the reason why married working women facing a lot of problems. Especially in developing countries like India where work culture is not so organized, many times women are unable to set their boundaries between personal responsibilities and professional duties. Work life balance is highly desirable for women employees in current circumstances as without job satisfaction and consistency in life, it creates a dilemma for working women. Since, work-life conflict downwards female employees' career progress as well as the productivity of the organization.

Published: May 2024

Leptospirosis is an anthropozoonosis caused by different species of bacteria of the genus Leptospira spp., resulting in economic losses in equine husbandry, including abortion, birth of weak and premature animals. In this context, the present study aimed to conduct a seroepidemiological study by identifying antibodies to Leptospira spp. in horses with a history of reproductive disorders. For this purpose, 108 horses from two studs in the Triângulo Mineiro region, designated A and B (A: n=68 and B: n=40), were subjected to the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT). Questionnaires were administered to the stud owners to analyze risk factors. Of the 108 samples analyzed, 50.9% (55/108) were reactive to MAT, with the most prevalent serovars being Djasiman 65.5% (36/55) and Hebdomadis 34.5% (19/55) with titers of 800 and 1600, respectively. Positivity was significantly higher (p<0.05) in females over 48 months of age in both studs A and B. In this context, it can be concluded that veterinarians should request leptospirosis laboratory tests in horses that present reproductive disorders, and sanitary measures should be recommended aiming to minimize economic losses as well as to avoid the potential zoonotic risk of the disease.

Authors: Smith Howard , Turek Michael , Viers Gary
Published: May 2024

Strategic management theory predicts that managers systematically scan their firms’ internal and external environments to identify possible factors that might impinge on their strategic plans and performance. Like many organizations, art galleries have been challenged over the past two decades by digital pressures such as social media and ecommerce. Lately, outfalls from the COVID-19 pandemic have added further to the woes of art galleries. This study examines how art galleries, as small businesses, respond to these significant contextual shifts. It is predicted that art galleries will implement innovative competitive strategies as a means to address the pandemic, ecommerce and digital market pressures. Ingenuity is a companion component of strategy and reflects the extent of creativity associated with innovation. These relationships were analyzed in a sample of art galleries located in resort destinations of the Rocky Mountains including Aspen, Bozeman, Jackson Hole, Park City and Sun Valley. Results from this study underscore the value for gallery owners and managers in instituting innovation as well as the value of ingenuity in creating distinctive competitive strategy. Different resort communities surfaced as leaders in cultivating innovation and ingenuity. Implications for practice and future research are considered.

This paper presents a study on optimizing the performance of a photovoltaic solar generator used to power a water treatment plant in a remote area. The research aims to evaluate the system's efficiency and focuses on determining the optimal orientation of the solar panel during periods of cloudy weather, which significantly impact sunlight availability and ozone production. To achieve this, two optimization algorithms, namely the Grey Wolf Algorithm (GWO) and the Crayfish Optimization Algorithm (COA), are employed to optimize the power output. The study is conducted in Algeria, where prevalent autumn cloud cover poses challenges for solar panel operation. By addressing these challenges and designing a high-performance photovoltaic-powered water treatment plant, the research contributes to sustainable water treatment technologies and offers promising solutions for underserved communities in need of water pumping and treatment systems. The findings highlight the importance of optimizing solar panel orientation in cloudy conditions and showcase the effectiveness of the GWO and COA algorithms in maximizing power output. By leveraging these optimization techniques, the proposed approach enhances the performance of the solar generator, ensuring efficient power production even during periods of reduced sunlight. This research not only addresses the specific case of a water treatment plant in a remote area but also has broader implications for the renewable energy sector. The study demonstrates the potential of utilizing solar energy in powering critical infrastructure, such as water treatment facilities, in areas where access to reliable electricity is limited. By fostering the adoption of sustainable energy solutions, this research contributes to the goal of achieving long-term environmental and social sustainability.

Published: May 2024

O processo de ensino-aprendizagem de ciências biológicas apresenta-se como de difícil compreensão para os discentes, e se tratando de áreas especificas observa-se que a dificuldade aumenta. Para entendermos não só as dificuldades, mas os fatores que afetam o entendimento na área, levamos em consideração três agentes essenciais para a efetivação do processo ensino aprendizagem, sendo estes: o estudante, sujeito ativo da construção do conhecimento e futuro disseminador, o professor, agente mediador do conhecimento, e por fim, o uso de recursos ou suportes didáticos, mais especificamente as bibliografias clássicas da área e os recursos facilitadores. Partindo deste pressuposto, o artigo teve como objetivo indicar formas de implementação de atividades de Educação Ambiental na nova Base Nacional Comum Curricular como ferramenta de aprendizado em Ciências da Natureza e suas Tecnologias Ensino Médio, através dos conhecimentos obtidos no curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas através do uso de metodologias ativas. A pesquisa foi realizada através de revisão de literatura buscando integrar conhecimentos práticos empregados junto a teoria das disciplinas da área de ciências da natureza e suas tecnologias para o ensino médio, possibilitando apropriar-se da linguagem específica e sistematização das ferramentas ligadas a Educação Ambiental onde foram propostas atividades específicas atendendo às competências em Ciências da Natureza. As atividades foram propostas de acordo com as competências específicas e habilidade de ciências da natureza e suas tecnologias para o ensino médio apresentadas na BNCC como citadas anteriormente, considerando as Competências Específicas 1, 2 e 3. Dessa forma, as atividades abordam diferentes temas e utilizam diferentes metodologias ativas (Aprendizagem baseada em projetos, Sala de aula invertida e Aprendizagem baseada em problemas), fornecendo suporte e identidade no contexto brasileiro de Educação Ambiental crítica.

No estudo do desenvolvimento da habilidade oral temos percebido que o enfoque medular a respeito da oralidade tem sido empregado apenas na comunicação diária em contextos artificiais previamente manipulado pelos professores. Dessa forma, os alunos têm somente a oportunidade de desempenhar uma gama da habilidade oral. Face a essa realidade, observamos a urgência de desenvolver a habilidade oral dos alunos para além das conversas cotidianas. Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar e analisar a subjetividade na habilidade oral, na língua inglesa, dos alunos de duas turmas de nível intermediário, expressa por meio da ferramenta digital Flipgrid, após a leitura crítica do conto literário The old man at the bridge do autor Ernest Hemingway. A expressão da subjetividade do aluno na habilidade oral da Língua Inglesa foi observada neste estudo. O aporte teórico para análise dos dados teve por base a teoria Histórico Cultural de Vygotsky. A metodologia empregada foi de natureza qualitativa com abordagem hermenêutica. Apesar de termos obtido resultados relevantes advindos da expressão subjetiva dos alunos sobre o conto literário, gostaríamos de, em um trabalho futuro, nos aprofundarmos e averiguarmos se, em se tratando do discurso em uma língua estrangeira, há a possibilidade do aluno utilizar um discurso mais próximo do egocêntrico para preparar-se para um discurso oral subjetivo. Contudo, foi possível observar com os resultados, que a expressão da subjetividade dos alunos na habilidade oral da Língua Inglesa acontece significativamente por meio da interação com a ferramenta digital Flipgrid. Acreditamos que as aulas de língua estrangeira precisam ser planejadas para estimular a formação de conceitos e fomentação de ideias subjetivas do aluno, pois assim o discente será impelido a expressar-se sobre a mesma. Este movimento de expressar suas ideias torna o aprendizado sistemático da língua alvo mais atraente configurando uma abordagem mais receptiva para o aluno.

Além disso, o presente artigo destaca a iminente necessidade de uma transição para os sistemas de produção alimentar mais sustentáveis, destacando o papel fundamental da educação, da ciência, da pesquisa de da colaboração interinstitucional – no caso estudado, de diferentes campi­ -para esse processo.
The Legend of the Naked Dead: Apparitions and Proper Burial in Latter-day Saint Folklore
Authors: Blythe Christopher James
Published: May 2024

This article introduces the Latter-day Saint “legend of the naked dead,” which in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was a widely known story emphasizing the importance of proper burial, including the ritual clothing of the dead. The ceremonial robes and garments that Latter-day Saints wear in temple services are also worn in the grave. In these stories, apparitions appear to the living to coax them to fix some error in their burial clothing. The legend cycle emphasizes the place of the family in caring for their dead, the significance of these rituals, and, of course, the continuing connections between the living and the dead, while simultaneously reinforcing the expectation for Latter-day Saints to always wear the garment under their secular clothing. Historically, some have viewed the practice of wearing the garment as onerous and altered their garments for purposes of comfort or fashion. The legend of the naked dead assures Latter-day Saints that there is purpose in this tradition that transcends even death.

Published: May 2024

Eksistensi Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) utamanya di bidang produk pangan sebagai penggerak perekonomian di desa-desa atau wilayah tertentu sudah dipahami oleh banyak orang. Namun demikian, tidak sedikit ditemukan pelaku usaha UMKM yang tidak menyadari pentingnya suatu pelabelan dalam produk pangan mereka yang berkaitan erat dengan Hukum Perlindungan Konsumen. Padahal selain mempersempit area pemasaran produk, produk pangan tanpa pelabelan akan menghadapkan UMKM pada persoalan hukum perlindungan konsumen dan sanksi yang dapat menjerat pelaku usaha sebagaimana tertuang dalam UU Perlindungan Konsumen. Salah satu contohnya pada produk pangan tradisional di Desa Dalegan Kabupaten Gresik. Produk pangan tradisional di Desa Dalegan tidak mencantumkan pelabelan yang benar karena minimnya pemahaman tentang pelabelan sesuai kaidah hukum yang berlaku. Hal ini tentu akan memperkecil pula kesempatan pengembangan UMKM tersebut. Pengabdian masyarakat ini mengkaji tentang pelabelan dalam produk pangan yang tepat bagi pengembangan produk pangan tradisional dengan metode penelitian hukum dan pendekatan perundang-undangan. Pelabelan produk pangan yang tepat akan memberikan kesempatan bagi UMKM untuk meningkatkan image produknya.

Stray dogs are integrally linked with rabies transmission, and a sizeable unmanaged dog population hinders rabies control program planners. Dog population management (DPM) is one of the best strategies to control rabies transmission, improve health management, and lower the population size of stray dogs. The threat of rabies is very serious due to free-roaming dogs. Foxes, skunks, groundhogs, raccoons, and house bats are rabies vector species and can carry rabies virus without showing any symptoms. Rabies is a life-threatening disease that affects thousands of losses worldwide every year. World Rabies Day is an international awareness campaign coordinated by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC). In Pakistan, there are reportedly 3 million stray dogs. More than one million dog bite cases are reported annually throughout Pakistan. About 600 dog bite cases are reported daily in the Sindh province, Pakistan. Due to an uncontrolled number of stray dogs, many serious problems arise related to public health, socio-economic, and political issues. The Animal Act of 1890 provides a specific defense against cruelty and establishes its importance in Pakistani culture. Developing long-term and supportable strategies is imperative to overcome the stray animal population worldwide. To overcome the rabies issue in Pakistan, the government should implement projects on breeding control of stray dogs through spaying and neutering surgeries. The government should also provide proper shelters for dogs and rabies vaccines. There is a need to be aware of basic preventive measures such as disinfectants and rabies vaccination. Public awareness, rabies vaccination, and dog sterilization at the national level are crucial factors in preventing rabies and managing the dog population in Pakistan.
The Gender that is None: Some Daring Reflections on the Concept of Gender in Beauvoir, Irigaray, and Butler
Authors: Stoller Silvia
Published: May 2024

In her article, “The Gender that is None: Some Daring Reflections on the Concept of Gender in Beauvoir, Irigaray, and Butler,” Silvia Stoller discusses three classics of feminist research. She aims to shed light on little-noticed parts of the work of Simone de Beauvoir, Luce Irigaray, and Judith Butler. Although all three are considered different theorists, they overlap at one point: one finds in their writings the idea that gender is basically not fully determinable, as in Irigaray and Butler, or that gender is basically not that important, as in Beauvoir. Whereas one expects gender theorists to foreground gender unequivocally, gender instead seems to somehow disappear, as is shown by three selected passages from their major works.
Light and Dark: Intersections of Gender and Race in Butler and Lugones
Authors: Smiet Katrine
Published: May 2024

Finally, Katrine Smiet, in her article, “Light and Dark: Intersections of Race and Gender in Butler and Lugones,” calls attention to the fact that an intersectional perspective on gender is widely supported, but often in an additive sense – looking at gender and race, or recognizing the different experiences of white and racialized women, for instance. While these approaches are important, actually recognizing the mutual constitution and co-construction of gender and race seems to demand a different approach altogether. Where does this leave – or take – the theoretical apparatus developed in feminist philosophy? While race and coloniality do not feature prominently in Judith Butler’s early theorizations of gender, her framework in many ways is compatible with the work of postcolonial author Maria Lugones. Butler’s thinking, on the other hand, goes a step further than Lugones’ in the questioning of biological essentialism.
Arendtian Understanding and Feminism
Authors: McInerney Aoife
Published: May 2024

Aoife McInerney, in her article, “Feminism and Understanding: An Arendtian Account,” discusses Hannah Arendt’s concept of understanding in light of how it addresses experiences of being alienated from the world and helps to overcome those experiences. Understanding to Arendt is an unending activity by which we come to terms with and reconcile ourselves to reality, and try to be at home in the world. This is the existential and alienating condition of those who recognize themselves as the victims of – and even the unwitting perpetrators of – systems of oppression. Arendtian understanding means to reconcile one’s self to the times in which one lives without having to accept them and, as such, aligns with the experiences of feminists.
