Published: December 2022

This paper presents the evaluation of a web app (ENACT) developed to support users with no expertise in pedagogy, media, and/or technology in creating engaging pedagogy-informed open educational resources. The aim is to increase cultural awareness and linguistic skills development through the creation of, and engagement with, interactive cultural activities. The design, which is informed by both theory and user input, is implemented by building a user-facing layer on top of the existing H5P platform. Participants' input from the evaluation workshop supported the design decisions around the provided task structure and the design choices around interactive media used. This work contributes a system as a web app to support non-experts in creating engaging online activities of a cultural and linguistic educational value and design recommendations generalizing the research based on literature, user insights, the developed system, and an evaluation study with migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.
Examining EFL Teachers' TPACK Perceptions, Web 2.0 Tools Usage, Workload, and Technostress Levels
Authors: Hunutlu Şadıman , Küçük Sevda
Published: December 2022

This study was conducted to examine English teachers' TPACK perceptions in light of web 2.0 tools usage, workload, and technostress levels. The participants were 170 English teachers and the data were collected using snowball sampling and analyzed by applying MANOVA, and Multiple Regression with descriptive analyses. The results revealed that English teachers have positive TPACK perceptions with a moderate level of technostress and workload and they use web 2.0 tools, although not very often. Considering TPACK perception and web 2.0 tools usage, significant differences were realized based on workload and technostress levels. Teachers with low technostress are more eager to use web 2.0 tools, teachers using more web 2.0 tools have more positive TPACK perceptions and more web 2.0 tools usage increases teachers' workload. Web 2.0 tools usage, workload, and technostress levels are significant predictors of TPACK perception. Implications are discussed in terms of theoretical insights, practices for technology-integrated language learning environments, and further research directions.
How Do We Construct a Child-Friendly Emergency Management Framework?
Authors: Sanders Monica
Published: December 2022

When considering vulnerable populations, or those with the most cascading obstacles that cause them to be susceptible to certain hazards and events, children are among the most vulnerable. Those living in poverty or in marginalized communities are among the most vulnerable to disasters. They make up a quarter of the United States' and a third of the global population, yet there is not an emergency management framework that meets their needs. While there are principles and a number of tools and programs directed at children- and more generally, youth- they suffer a lack of widespread socialization. This article offers a framework as an option to create that socialization as well as a child-centered approach that can be operationalized.

Authors: Divya D.  , Bhasi M. , Kumar Santosh
Published: December 2022

Outlier ensembles can enhance the performance of outlier detection algorithms. However, identification of an appropriate outlier ensemble algorithm for the given application is a difficult task. In order to achieve this function, the performance features of outlier ensembles with gathered data types containing a certain set of outliers have been characterised and their ensemble performance analysed in this paper. The proposed methodology suggests comparing data and anomalous features of a given real time application to the data set available in the proposed workbench. Users can use the results of experiments conducted using the workbench to identify highly efficient algorithms for their application without undertaking further analysis once matching data is located in the workbench. Therefore, this research paper act as a recommendation system that enables data scientists from various fields to pick an effective outlier ensemble for their application.
An Enhanced Image Segmentation Approach for Detection of Diseases in Fruit
Authors: Mishra Bikram Keshari , Tripathy Pradyumna Kumar , Rout Saroja Kumar , Pattanaik Chinmaya Ranjan
Published: December 2022

The progress in the realm of image segmentation has helped farmers to use nominal inputs for higher production within limited time. Preliminary identification of diseases on fruits is limited to naked eyes since the majority of these symptoms can only be identified by microscopic visuals. Image segmentation plays a vital part in distinguishing their infected parts from the disinfected ones. In this paper, clustering is used as an approach in image segmentation to cautiously discover the affected parts of the fruits by segmenting the affected areas from the non-affected parts. Four clustering techniques—IS-KM, IS-FEKM, IS-MKM, and IS-FECA—were employed for this purpose. The quality of segmentation was evaluated using few performance measures like SC, RMSE, MSE, MAE, NAE, and PSNR. The result obtained using IS-FECA is more reasonable compared to the other methods. Roughly each value of performance parameters confers better results for IS-FECA-based image segmentation method, which means proper separation of diseased parts in fruits from their un-affected ones is attainable.
An Attendance System Using the Face Extraction and Recognition Technique Using PCA Algorithm
Authors: Mohammed Mazin S. , Alothman Raya Basil
Published: December 2022

Face detection is the most critical and first step in the attendance management system. The human face is non-rigid and has many differences in visual situations, scale, clarity, poses, and rotation. The precise and reliable identification was a challenge for the researcher. A variety of methods and techniques are suggested, but due to many variations, no one technique is very effective for all sorts of faces and pictures. Many techniques show good results under certain conditions, and others are successful for various types of images. Image-discriminating methods are commonly used for pattern and image analysis. Specific forms of prejudice are discussed.
Long-Run Associations and Short-Run Dynamics Between Corruption and Inflation
Authors: Das Ramesh Chandra , Mandal Jagabandhu
Published: December 2022

Interrelationships between corruption and economic growth and corruption and inflation have been one of the important areas of studies in recent political economics. Money received through corruption influence aggregate demand, which pushes up the inflation level and thereby increases income inequality across groups making an unsustainable social system. The existing literature shows two types of interrelationships among the variables, positive and/or negative, across countries or groups. The present study reinvestigates whether corruption and inflation maintain long-run relations and short-run dynamics in a panel of 30 countries from different strata in corruption perception index for the period 1996-2017. Using panel cointegration, VECM, and causality test, the study arrives at the conclusion that control of corruption and inflation rate have long-run equilibrium relations for the panel, and there is long-run as well as short-run causality observed from corruption to inflation. Hence, the study prescribes for implementation of stricter norms for controlling corruption to reduce social unsustainability.

Authors: Nagatani Aoi , Chen Sinan , Nakamura Masahide , Saiki Sachio
Published: December 2022

Continuous data input is essential for lifelogging services, where users input their daily records. But whether the user can continuously input data depends mainly on the user's motivation. This article presents a new method of introducing gamification in line with the purpose of lifelogging. The authors introduce a comprehensive set of gamification features based on motivation subscales into a lifelogging service. Meanwhile, the authors elucidate which gamification features correspond to which motivation subscales are effective for lifelogging, including intrinsic motivation, introjected regulation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, and external regulation. As a case study, the authors introduce the five gamification features corresponding to each motivation subscale into work support service (WSS) designed to record and review work hours. The authors also compare and evaluate changes in user behavior before and after the introduction of the gamification features. In this way, user motivation for continuous input increases when gamification in the WSS is confirmed.
Digital Transformation of Enterprises and the Governance of Executive Corruption
Authors: Zhang Yao , Guo Xuemeng
Published: December 2022

This paper measures enterprise digital transformation by the method of text analysis and empirically tests the impact of enterprise digital transformation on the executives' corruption. We find that the higher degree of digital transformation of enterprises, the lower the probability of corporate executives' corruption. This conclusion is still valid under a series of robustness tests. The mechanism test shows that the impact of enterprise digital transformation on the governance of executives' corruption is mainly realized by reducing the degree of information asymmetry and alleviating the agency problem. Further research finds that both proportion of institutional investors and internal control can strengthen the reducing effect of digital transformation on the probability of corporate executives' corruption. The research conclusion of this paper reveals the governance effect of enterprise digital transformation on corporate executives' corruption, and provides effective experience for the central government and enterprise anti-corruption actions.

Nitrogen removal and metabolic pathways of nitrifying coal ash propelled by temperature change under high nitrogen loading
Authors: Liu Fang , Zhao Xin , Liu Chengjian , Hu Xiaomin
Published: December 2022

Coal ash, owing to its cost-effectiveness and greater adhesion with nitrifiers, has been used as a carrier for immobilizing nitrifiers when treating wastewater with a low C/N ratio and high nitrogen loading. Various environmental conditions significantly affect the nitrogen metabolic pathways of nitrifying coal ash. In this study, the nitrogen metabolic pathways of nitrifying coal ash propelled at different temperatures were investigated to evaluate the impact of seasonal variation on nitrifying coal ash. Results showed average NH4+-N effluent concentrations increased with temperature, and reached 3.37, 5.16, and 76.06 mg N/L with 1158 mg N/L influent under 15 ℃, 25 ℃, and 35 ℃ systems. The total nitrogen removal rate at a cooling temperature of 15 ℃ was higher than that at 25 ℃ and 35 ℃. Further analysis showed Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter were enhanced, whereas a significant evolution of autotrophic denitrifiers, Acidovorax, was enriched at 15 ℃. An in-depth investigation of N-metabolism pathways suggested higher temperatures of 25 ℃ and 35 ℃ reduced the abundance of key genes involved in ammonia oxidation (amoABC, hao) and nitrite oxidation (narGH). Network analysis between N-metabolic functional genes and genera presented stronger relevance and richer sources between nitrifiers/denitrifiers and nitrification/denitrification-associated genes under cooler temperatures.

Authors: Phan T.Anh , Pham Tung Ngoc , Duong The Hy , Nguyen Hoang M.
Published: December 2022

In this work, seafood wastewater was treated by using MBBR reactor over a novel carrier (PUF-PVA gel) derived from the combination of a porous (PUF) and hydrophilic surface (PVA gel). A freezing-thawing method was used for the preparation of the novel PUF-PVA gel which is reported for the first time. Experimental results indicated that PUF-PVA gel carrier which possesses an excellent textural structure (specific surface area of 3.4 m2/g, pore size in the range of 10 – 40 μm and hydrophilic surface) accounts for faster water immersion and better microbial adhesion, resulting in the biofilm content attached at the start-up stage 2.4 times higher relative to conventional PUF carrier alone. The MBBR system can be operated stably at a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 7 hours in which the organic loading rate ranged from 2.5 kg COD/m3.day to 5.1 kg COD/m3.day. When operated at the organic loading rate of 2.5 kg COD/m3.day, the maximum COD and the nitrogen removal efficiency of MBBR based on the PUF-PVA gel carrier were 92 ± 0.6% and 89 ± 3.4%, respectively, which is higher than that of the PUF carrier.
Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation From Adults to Children: A Review
Authors: Singh Goutam , Lucas Kathryn , Keller Anastasia , Martin Rebecca , Behrman Andrea , Vissarionov Sergey , Gerasimenko Yury P.
Published: December 2022

Neuromodulation via spinal stimulation is a promising therapy that can augment the neuromuscular capacity for voluntary movements, standing, stepping, and posture in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal locomotor-related neuronal network known as a central pattern generator (CPG) can generate a stepping-like motor output in the absence of movement-related afferent signals from the limbs. Using epidural stimulation (EP) in conjunction with activity-based locomotor training (ABLT), the neural circuits can be neuromodulated to facilitate the recovery of locomotor functions in persons with SCI. Recently, transcutaneous spinal stimulation (scTS) has been developed as a noninvasive alternative to EP. Early studies of scTS at thoracolumbar, coccygeal, and cervical regions have demonstrated its effectiveness in producing voluntary leg movements, posture control, and independent standing and improving upper extremity function in adults with chronic SCI. In pediatric studies, the technology of spinal neuromodulation is not yet widespread. There are a limited number of publications reporting on the use of scTS in children and adolescents with either cerebral palsy, spina bifida, or SCI.
PREDMETNA OBLAST PRIMENE DIREKTIVE O ODGOVORNOSTI ZA PROIZVODE: SLUČAJ KRONE – VERLAG
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Law, Vujičić Jovan
Published: December 2022

The Court of Justice of the EU in the judgment in the KRONE – Verlag case established that Article 2 of the Product Liability Directive, read in the light of Articles 1 and 6 thereof, must be interpreted as meaning that a copy of a printed newspaper that, concerning paramedical matters, gives inaccurate health advice relating to the use of a plant which, when followed, has proved injurious to the health of a reader of that newspaper, does not constitute a defective product within the meaning of those provisions. By avoiding as much as possible to rely on the distinction between material and immaterial aspects of products, while focusing on the distinction between services and products, it seems that the Court of Justice tried not to influence the public debate on the need to adapt the rules on civil liability to the new reality that is increasingly digital. This allows it to continue to develop its case- law in a consistent manner, which is likely to withstand possible future legislative changes, without the need to already determine under what conditions digital content and especially software are subject to product liability.

Corporate social responsibility is part of the broader concept of caring for the well-being of the social community in which the company operates. The evolutionary path of the principles of corporate social responsibility is still not over. This state of affairs is evidenced by the absence of a single and comprehensive definition of corporate social responsibility. The cross-border movement of capital and the expansion of the business of multinational companies to different investment destinations also led to the adoption of requirements for socially responsible business operations of companies, their care not only about gaining profit, but also about social well-being, human rights and the environment. Bearing in mind the importance that foreign direct investments have for the economic development of the Republic of Serbia, the focus of the paper is the social responsibility of foreign investors operating on its territory. The goal is to find answer to the question of whether foreign investors in the Republic of Serbia apply the principle of corporate social responsibility in their business and what is the impact of such business on the social well-being of the environment, on the protection of the environment and human rights.

There are divergent authorial views with regard to the assessment of the self- government of municipalities, counties and areas proclaimed by the Vidovdan Constitution and accompanying legal acts. Public and financial doctrine is in agreement in the belief that without the financial autonomy of lower territorial- administrative units, there is no actualization of the principles of local self- government. Since the topic of the development of local public finances in our country still seems insufficiently researched, the author tries to re-test the hypothesis of the existence of local self-government in the period of application of this constitutional act, by presenting the normative framework and significant doctrinal reviews on this issue. The aim is to provide a possibility for a broader and more effective view of the development of this political and legal institute.

A number of studies have demonstrated the memory conformity effect: interactions and discussions with other people affect remembering and provoke errors in memory reports in the direction of the opinions of others. Nowadays, communication via online social networks, where people read and leave comments on different facts, is of particular importance. The present study focuses on how evaluations and comments provided by anonymous others affect the memory of one’s initial opinion. The research aims to clarify new specific conditions under which memory conformity may occur. We conducted a laboratory experiment. Participants had to evaluate the IQ of a person in a photo. Then, we made the participants believe that they would see the evaluations and comments of three anonymous participants who completed the same task previously. For some photos, we presented evaluations and comments that supported the participants’ initial opinion. For some other photos, we presented estimations and comments that were conflicting (i.e., opposite to the participants’ initial decision). Then, we tested the participants’ memories of the initial evaluations and compared them to the control condition with no comments and evaluations from others. The results demonstrated that conflicting opinions were a predictor of a memory change towards the values inserted in the comments of others, whereas congruent opinions were a predictor of the initial evaluations’ replication. These results suggest that memory conformity may be evoked indirectly, without real social interactions and social pressure and without information about the reliability of the sources

At the worldwide level, heart disease is the leading cause of death. The primary goals of this study were to look into cardiac risk variables in datasets available on Kaggle. The data included 303 people, 138 of whom had cardiac disease and 165 of whom did not. Age, gender, chest pain, resting blood pressure, cholesterol level, fast blood sugar, electrocardiogram at rest, maximum heart rate during the stress test, angina during exercise, old peak, slope of the ST segment, result of the blood flow observed with radioactive dye, and number of main blood vessels colored by the radioactive dye were all included in the dataset. Descriptive analysis includes means and standard deviations for non-classified variables, as well as frequencies and percentages for categorized variables. The independent T test was used to assess the associations between variables. If 0.05, significance was considered. Except for cholesterol and rapid blood sugar, all of the variables listed above were found to be strongly linked with heart disease. When rapid blood sugar and cholesterol readings are combined, they should be evaluated with caution due to their participation as risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

This study aims to design a merchandise inventory accounting information system and evaluate internal controls at PT Iko Minang Retail. There are differences in the number of stocks in records and warehouses, which causes goods to be delivered late and losses to occur, as well as the quality of goods that are not checked further so that consumers return to PT Iko Minang Retail, this happens because the company does not have a merchandise inventory accounting information system. . The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative, using primary and secondary data sources. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results showed that the problems experienced by PT Iko Minang Ritel occurred due to the absence of clear merchandise inventory procedures, especially in the warehouse section, as well as the company's internal controls that were still not effective. Based on these problems, this study resulted in a design of a merchandise inventory accounting information system, as well as a design of the company's internal control.
Corps, vêtements, gestes, paroles et odeurs : le rituel en question

Published: December 2022

Résumé Le dossier proposé s’intéresse à tous les agents qui permettent une bonne performance des rituels dans l’Antiquité grecque, étrusque et romaine. Est ainsi analysé le rôle des corps, parures, gestes et instruments, paroles et « bonnes » odeurs dans les performances rituelles, autant d’éléments mobilisés pour plaire aux dieux ou pour s’intégrer dans une société donnée. Il s’attache en premier lieu aux parures des dieux ; en second lieu, aux bonnes odeurs et notamment à l’encens ; puis ce sont les prises de paroles dans les rituels et les gestes qui les accompagnent qui sont considérés. Les contributions suivantes concernent les vêtements, parures et traitements du corps en contexte rituel avec d’abord la question de la parure des prêtres et des fidèles, puis celle de la gestion du corps et des vêtements dans deux rites de passage (naissance et deuil), enfin les jeux de nudité, de vêtements et de travestissement. Le dossier ne se prétend pas exhaustif, mais témoigne de façon diachronique de l’importance de la prise en compte des performances corporelles et vestimentaires, comme des paroles et des odeurs, dans des rituels précis. Abstract Title: Body, clothes, gestures, speeches and smells : about rituals The set of papers that we propose focuses on all the agents that allow a good performance of rituals in Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquity. It analyses the role played by the body, the ornaments, the gestures and the instruments, the speeches and the “good” smells in the ritual performances to please the gods or to be integrated into a given society. It starts to look at the ornaments of the gods before considering the role played by “good” smells, provided in particular by the burning of incense; then it is the speaking in the rituals and the gestures that accompany them that are considered. The following contributions concern the clothing, ornaments and treatments of the body in a ritual context with first the question of the adornment of priests and the faithful, then that of the management of the body and clothing in two rites of passage (birth and mourning), finally the interplay between nudity, clothing and cross-dressing. The proposed set of papers does not claim to be exhaustive, but testifies to the importance of taking into account bodily and clothing performances, the use of words and smells, in precise rituals and in given space-times.
Le rituel de la prise d’auspices : les gestes et la parole
Authors: HUMM Michel
Published: December 2022

Résumé

Même si l’on ne dispose pas de manière précise de représentation figurée d’une prise d’auspices dans le monde romain, les sources littéraires antiques permettent quand même de connaître, non seulement certaines formules employées, mais aussi le moment précis où se déroulait le rituel, « dans le silentium de la nuit », ainsi que les gestes et les attitudes de ses deux principaux acteurs : le magistrat et l’augure. L’étude du détail à la fois gestuel et verbal du rituel des auspices montre que les procédures auspiciales étaient différentes suivant que l’on cherchait à obtenir l’imperium domi ou l’imperium militiae, et que la nature de l’imperium confié à un magistrat dépendait finalement de celle de ses auspices.

Abstract

Title: The ritual of taking the auspices : words and gestures

Although we have no precise figurative representation of an auspicial ceremony in the Roman world, ancient literary sources nevertheless provide infomation not only on some of the formulas used, but also on the specific moment when the ritual took place, « in the silentium of the night », and on the gestures and attitudes of the two main officials conducting it : the magistrate and the augur. A detailed study of both the gestures and the words of the auspices ritual shows that the auspicial procedures differed according to whether one sought to obtain the imperium domi or the imperium militiae, and that the nature of the imperium entrusted to a magistrate ultimately depended on that of his auspices.

Résumé Les sarcophages « biographiques » rendent compte, sur leurs différentes faces, des événements marquants de la vie du défunt. Toutefois, pour signifier la naissance, la mise au monde proprement dite n’est pas représentée. À la place, les imagiers se sont attachés à figurer le premier bain du nouveau-né. Cet article propose dès lors d’étudier, en croisant sources textuelles et imagées, quels personnages sont convoqués pour signifier le bain, quels gestes chacun d’eux effectuent, et plus généralement, interroge le rôle de ce premier bain. Autrement dit, quelles sont sa valeur et sa signification au regard de la naissance d’un bébé, de son intégration dans l’univers familial et plus largement des premières années de l’enfance ? Abstract Title: The bath of the new-born in Rome: a lustral rite ? The « biographical » sarcophagi display on their different sides the significant events in the life of the deceased. However, to signify the birth, the actual giving birth is not represented. Instead, the image makers have focused on the first bath of the newborn baby. I therefore propose to study, by cross-referencing textual and visual sources, which characters are summoned to signify the bath, what gestures each of them perform, and more generally, I question the role of this first bath. In other words, what are its value and its significance regarding to the baby’s birth, its integration within the family world and more broadly the early years of childhood ?

Air pollutants in large cities are an overwhelming problem and have been responsible for many premature deaths all around the world. Risk perception maps how people evaluate a hazard in a subjective manner using different statistical tools. In this paper, we use of Bayesian belief network (BBN) to estimate the likelihood of control action demand from people towards authorities based on a proposed framework relating risk perception, risk judgment, and demand. The results showed that it is possible to model control action demand based on BBN structure, given an observed scenario for risk perception and judgment. Different pollutants were compared and the method distinguished the most feared from the lesser feared.

Authors: Coronado-Peña Jhorman Jesid , Suárez Román Rocío Stella
Published: December 2022

ntroducción: La pérdida del conocimiento tradicional, trae consigo, entre otros, detrimento de identidad cultural y disminución de la biodiversidad. Objetivos: Identificar los conocimientos tradicionales sobre plantas medicinales con base en los saberes de los adultos mayores del municipio de Arauca. Materiales y métodos: Se aplicó una encuesta adaptada de TRAMIL, en una muestra por conveniencia, de 96 adultos mayores sabedores. Con los datos, se determinó el Índice de Valor de Uso (IVU) y el Nivel de Uso Significativo TRAMIL (UST) de las plantas medicinales que, tradicionalmente emplea esta comunidad. Resultados: Se reconocieron 109 especies con uso medicinal, de las cuales 38 (35%) se encuentran aprobadas por el INVIMA; de ellas, presentaron mayor IVU dentro de la comunidad araucana, sábila (Aloe vera) (27%), hierba buena (Mentha spicata) (14%), limón mandarino (Citrus limonia) (13%) y, manzanilla (Matricaria chamomilla) (11%). Las especies con mayor UST, correspondieron a sábila (A. vera), con 50%, pericón (Capraria biflora) (45%), limonaria (Cymbopogon citratus) (28%), hierba buena (M. spicata) (27%) y hierba mora (Solanum americanum) (22%). Discusión: Si bien el adulto mayor de Arauca presenta conocimientos importantes sobre el empleo de plantas medicinales que contribuyen a mejorar la calidad de salud en la comunidad araucana, se hace necesario la validación farmacológica, fitoquímica y toxicológica de las especies vegetales utilizadas, debido a que la mayoría no están aprobadas por el INVIMA y en las aprobadas, su forma de empleo no coincide apropiadamente con el aval del instituto de vigilancia.

Published: December 2022

As we well know, the military field is a complex field, marked by intense experiences and borderline situations, and, in this context, psychology plays a significant role in knowing the explanation, but also predicting psychic reactions and human behavior in these situations; optimizing human capacities and resources in order to achieve the desired results; and above all,  preventing, reducing/treating the mental consequences that may arise from participating in demanding events, both physically and mentally (Popa, 2019). These were the premises from which we started in addressing this theme, wanting to turn our attention to two key elements of the military environment.  It's about occupational stress and job satisfaction and, perhaps most importantly, the relationship they are in.
Self-acceptance in today's young people
Authors: Călin Mariana Floricica , Tasențe Tănase
Published: December 2022

Acceptance of the self, others and the environment is a force for personal change that has its origins in many eastern and western cultures. The benefits of accepting are described by many cultures through religious literatures (New Testament, Tao Te Ching, Buddhist Scriptures, Bhagavad Gita or "The Divine Song", Yoga Sutras of Patañjali), philosophical (Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Keirkegaard, Krishnamurti, Lao Tzu, Watts), as well as in other various literary forms such as romance (Austen), modernism (Nabok), realism (Tolstoy), poetry or theater (Shakespeare). Acceptance requires a person to tolerate experiences as given; otherwise, simply someone will only pursue pleasure, run away from pain and be prone to judge experiences. The Stoics (Marcus Aurelius, Epictetus, Seneca) appreciated the ability to tolerate or willingly resist experiences, because it increases the degree of self-control, of detachment without emotion and develops indifference to pleasure and pain. Since acceptance involves contact with reality as it is at a certain moment, it is necessary to be able to remain present and aware even when the available stimuli are less desirable. Consequently, tolerance can be considered a skill through which we can remain present and experience anything that happens completely.
Death of A Star
Authors: Dhir Sonali S. J. , Graham Dr. Jason
Published: December 2022

Sea star wasting disease (SSWD), originally identified in 2013, is an epidemic impacting 20 species of sea stars along the west coast of North America. Two of the most impacted species, Pisaster ochraceus and Pycnopodia helianthoides are keystone species. The loss of these sea stars impacts oceanic life. Literature reviews were conducted from January to May 2022 to investigate the effect of SSWD on the food web of sea stars and decline of kelp. The apex predators of the ecosystem, P. helianthoides and P. ochraceus, have decreased drastically, while their prey, urchins, have increased immensely. As a result, kelp, a producer, has decreased significantly. The decline of the keystone species is highly concerning and could have drastic ecological impacts. The loss of kelp is extremely damaging for both marine life and Earth itself. If sea stars continue to decline, the amount of carbon dioxide and loss of kelp will become increasingly problematic for the ocean and health of the planet.
