Microplastics in Agricultural Soil and Their Impact: A Review
Authors: Solanki P. , Jain S. , Mehrotra R. , Mago P. , Dagar S.
Published: December 2024

The rapid global plastic production of 348 million tonnes in 2018 has led to widespread environmental pollution, especially in terrestrial ecosystems. This study examines microplastics in agricultural soils, coming alarmingly. Particles ≤5 mm, which are defined as microplastics, have detrimental effects on the earth’s environment. Because of its ecological importance, soil acts as an important microplastic sink, affecting soil and plant health and microbial activity. A variety of factors contribute to microplastic pollution in agricultural soils, including plastic mulching, manure, agricultural products (silage nets, twine), sewage sludge, weathering, and other indirect processes. These microplastics migrate, threatening soil integrity and biodiversity. Soil microplastics are analyzed for size, volume fraction, and polymer. Common materials include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, and polyesters. Techniques, including optical microscopy and spectroscopy, extract and analyze microplastics. This comprehensive review calls for increased concern about the ecological effects of microplastics in agricultural soils. It emphasizes the importance of managing plastics to solve environmental challenges. The integrated environmental assessment highlights the complex relationship between microplastics and soil ecosystems, providing insights into potential risks and suggesting strategies to combat this looming environmental threat.

Authors: Islam M. S. , Ekhwan T. M. , Rasli F. N. , Goh C. T.
Published: December 2024

The study was conducted to evaluate the physicochemical parameters of water and assess the public perception of the water quality status in the Tasik Chini watershed based on a community survey. The water sample was analyzed based on standard methods and categorized according to WQI (Water Quality Index). Multivariate statistical analysis was adopted to find spatial variations in water quality, determining the pollution level and sources of contamination. The study results were compared with NWQS (National Water Quality Standard for Malaysia). The results showed that the value of dissolved oxygen (DO) was low (4.68 mg.L-1), while the level of biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total dissolved solids (TDS) was found to be high, 2.92 mg.L-1, 26.10 mg.L-1 and 22.93 mg.L-1 respectively. High turbidity was recorded in a mining area in the rainy season (35.76 NTU). The DOE-WQI value categorized the lake under class II and class III. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed that the major sources of contamination were due to anthropogenic activities, especially settlement, mining, agriculture, and illegal activities. Overall, Tasik Chini’s water quality status was classified as slightly polluted to highly polluted based on hierarchical cluster analysis (CA) results. The survey showed that 55% of the local community reported that the water quality was poor. The knowledge and attitude level of the local people was medium category, while community practice was low. The Pearson correlation coefficient test showed a strong significant relationship at 0.01 level between knowledge and attitude and knowledge and practices. The scientific findings with public perceptions might be useful for policymakers and the general public to improve the management system for a desirable future.
Evaluation of the Drought Situation Using Remote Sensing Technology, an Applied Study on a Part of North Wasit Governorate in Iraq
Authors: Dakhil A. J. , Hussain E. K. , Aziz F. F.
Published: December 2024

Drought presents a substantial threat to both ecological and agricultural systems. Agriculture in Iraq is predicated on precipitation, which is a major contributor to the likelihood of drought resulting from even marginal fluctuations in precipitation. Furthermore, research suggests that Iraq suffers an approximate annual loss of 100,000 acres of arable land due to drought. NDVI and VCI, two significant indices, were utilized in this research to assess and monitor the severity of the drought in the northern region of Wasit province in Iraq. For the period from 1993 to 2023, drought intensity maps were generated utilizing NDVI-based VCI and the Geographic Information System (GIS), an extremely effective spatial data management instrument. NDVI results evidenced that the vegetation cover area was the highest in 1993 and 1998 and declined until it reached the lowest levels in 2023. The vegetation area was concentrated in the southwest parts. In contrast, VCI results demonstrated the extreme drought through the years from 2003 to 2023, which can be attributed to higher temperatures, evaporation, and lower amounts of rainfall. Throughout the thirty-year analysis period, extreme drought conditions were prevalent, especially in the last two decades. Furthermore, this drought should prompt the government to implement preventative measures to avert it. Implementing soil and water conservation measures, such as the establishment of percolation basins, contour bunds, and check dams, can also enhance drought management.
Technogenically Disturbed Lands of Coal Mines: Restoration Methods
Authors: Ivanova S. , Vesnina A. , Fotina N. , Prosekov A.
Published: December 2024

The issues of human impact on the environment are evident and pose a threat to the health and well-being of future generations. Technogenic disturbances in coal mining sites, such as open pits, excavations, and industrial waste, pose risks to both human health and the environment. Open-pit coal mines not only frequently cause the destruction of natural ecosystems, including landscapes, vegetation, and biodiversity, but they also significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere. Addressing the carbon footprint necessitates not only the use of renewable energy but also the restoration of disturbed landscapes and vegetation, including trees and shrubs. All of this is achieved by implementing biological remediation within technogenically disturbed territories. This process fosters a return of biological balance and establishes favorable conditions for plant and animal life, while at the same time reducing carbon footprint indicators. The biological remediation of areas affected by the mining activities of coal mines can create new economic opportunities. The reclaimed land can be utilized for various purposes such as agriculture, forestry, park development, and tourism, thereby contributing to local economic growth and job creation. When planning measures for land bioremediation, it is essential to analyze all quality indicators of the land. In this case, the selection of technologies such as plants, fertilizers, and microorganisms can effectively restore territories.

Authors: Ulum A. S. , Djati M. S. , . Susilo , Rozuli A. I.
Published: December 2024

This study aims to design a community-based plastic waste management model specifically for Bangun Village, Mojokerto. Using a qualitative approach through a detailed case study, we gathered rich data from observations, interviews, and document reviews. Our findings reveal that the plastic waste management situation in Bangun Village is fraught with significant social, economic, and environmental challenges. These include inadequate waste segregation, limited recycling facilities, and a general lack of community awareness and participation. The proposed model seeks to address these issues by implementing several key components: community-based plastic waste collection and processing, educational programs to raise awareness and promote sustainable practices, partnerships with external stakeholders such as local government bodies, NGOs, and private sector entities, and institutional restructuring to support and sustain these initiatives. Central to this model is the belief that community education and awareness are crucial foundations for fostering sustainable behavior. By actively involving the community in the waste management process, the model not only aims to mitigate the plastic waste problem but also seeks to provide economic and social benefits to the residents of Bangun Village. This includes creating job opportunities, improving public health, and enhancing the overall quality of life. The strength of this model lies in its ability to integrate community participation, policy support, and external partnerships, making it a robust and effective solution for sustainable plastic waste management. By fostering a collaborative and inclusive approach, the model aims to create a sustainable and resilient community that can effectively tackle the plastic waste challenge while reaping economic and social benefits. In conclusion, the community-based plastic waste management model proposed for Bangun Village has the potential to bring about significant positive changes in the way plastic waste is managed. Through this model, we hope to empower the community to contribute to solving the plastic waste problem while also benefiting economically and socially.
Comparative Study of Cradle-to-Gate Carbon Emissions from Steel and Concrete Structures of Bangladeshi Industrial Projects
Authors: Cao P. , Karibul Hasnat Mohammad , Gentil Bigirimana
Published: December 2024

Sustainable practice is necessary for the construction industry's environmental impact, particularly carbon footprint. A "cradle-to-gate" Life Cycle Assessment of the embodied carbon emissions of two structural systems, steel and reinforced concrete, is presented for an industrial building in Bangladesh. By quantifying these emissions through BIM modeling and emission factor databases, the analysis shows that steel-framed structures have a significantly higher carbon footprint than their concrete alternatives, mainly because of the energy-intensive steel production processes. Emissions from raw material extraction, transportation, and manufacturing stages are detailed and assessed. The results show that steel structures produce 60% more embodied carbon than reinforced concrete counterparts, primarily due to raw material emissions, with other emissions from aluminum and rebar in both systems. These findings provide a basis for construction material selection and highlight the need for low-carbon approaches to reduce the sector's carbon footprint in rapidly urbanizing areas like Bangladesh. Further research should extend to the end-of-life impacts and more localized emission data to continue to refine sustainable construction strategies.

Enhancing mentorship in the learning community
Authors: NEGREA Angelica Maria
Published: December 2024

Given the high demand that the teaching profession requires, the personal nuance that the teaching style acquires over time, given the fact that the intervention schemes designed by others rarely fit, we have identified significant differences in school practice, when it comes to experienced and beginner teachers. Over time, teachers who gained experience also built strategies that allow them to quickly and efficiently adapt to any situation that occurs in the school space or in the classroom. Such strategies support them in quickly finding the most appropriate solutions for solving problems. Therefore, they can become transformational leaders for the young teachers who can thus successfully integrate.

Published: December 2024

Nghiên cứu này phân tích tác động của biến đổi khí hậu (BĐKH) đến sản xuất sắn và các hoạt động thích ứng của nông hộ trên địa bàn huyện Ea Kar và Krông Bông, tỉnh Đắk Lắk. Dữ liệu nghiên cứu được thu thập qua phỏng vấn sâu người am hiểu, thảo luận nhóm và khảo sát hộ. Kết quả phân tích cho thấy BĐKH tác động khá nghiêm trọng đến hoạt động sản xuất sắn, thể hiện thông qua các hiện tượng thời tiết cực đoan như nắng nóng, khô hạn kéo dài, mưa lớn tập trung cuối vụ và thời tiết thất thường. Các hiện tượng này đã tác động bất lợi đến quá trình sinh trưởng, phát triển và năng suất của cây sắn. Mưa lớn thất thường và mưa tập trung cuối vụ làm thối củ và giảm chất lượng củ sắn, dẫn đến giá bán thấp. Để thích ứng với BĐKH, nông hộ ở địa bàn nghiên cứu đã triển khai các giải pháp thích ứng nhưng tỷ lệ áp dụng còn rất thấp. Thiếu kiến thức, vốn, lao động, niềm tin vào hiệu quả của các biện pháp thích ứng, và quá tin tưởng vào khả năng chống chịu của cây sắn là những rào cản chính đối với việc thích ứng với BĐKH. Thiếu kỹ thuật sản xuất và phụ thuộc lớn vào kiến thức bản địa và kinh nghiệm truyền từ nhiều thế hệ cũng là một rào cản lớn cho việc áp dụng các giải pháp thích ứng. Nghiên cứu đã đưa ra một số gợi ý chính sách để nâng cao hiệu quả trồng sắn trong điều kiện BĐKH, hướng đến phát triển vùng sắn nguyên liệu bền vững ở Tây Nguyên nói chung và Đắk Lắk nói riêng.

Tendencias contemporáneas de la culpabilidad
Authors: Gomes dos Santos Henrique , Pizzotti Faiçal Larissa
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es cuestionar si la presunta apertura dogmática a la realidad social en el funcionalismo penal constituye una función racionalizadora del sistema y garante de los Derechos Humanos, o simplemente una (re)funcionalización y (re)legitimación tecnocrática de la teoría del delito. Se pretende presentar las funciones latentes del funcionalismo dogmático, demostrando que su funcionalización, al menos en nuestra realidad marginal, es problemática, no permitiendo la construcción de una dogmática penal liberadora para contener el poder punitivo; por el contrario, (re)legitima su uso y encubre las funciones reales de la pena. La importancia de la investigación radica en el compromiso con el dilema ético y el uso de la técnica jurídica abstracta a partir de su apertura a los datos de la realidad. Para cumplir con estos objetivos, se lleva a cabo un análisis interpretativo del Funcionalismo Dogmático, desde la categoría de Culpabilidad, que se muestra funcionalmente ambigua al confrontar el discurso oficial y el discurso latente. El hilo conductor del análisis es, por lo tanto, esta misma contradicción, que proporciona el movimiento real del objeto en su lógica operativa. Se adopta el método inductivo, que permite pasar de lo desconocido a lo conocido al avanzar de lo visible (funcionalismo dogmático) a lo invisible (potencial funcional latente).

Published: December 2024

Este artigo analisa a mobilização do tema da Guerra da Cisplatina pelo periódico Astréa entre 1826 e 1828. O impresso, de autoria de José Joaquim Vieira Souto e Antônio José do Amaral, foi publicado no Rio de Janeiro a partir de junho de 1826 e realizou amplo acompanhamento do conflito no Sul da América, expressando prognósticos, questionamentos e, sobretudo, críticas ao seu andamento. Pretende-se, dessa forma, examinar os argumentos utilizados pelos redatores do jornal ao se referirem à pugna. A metodologia analítica empregada é o Contextualismo Linguístico, que pressupõe a necessidade de conhecer profundamente o contexto de produção de um texto para acessar exitosamente seus significados. Concluiu-se que a imprensa periódica fluminense foi espaço vital para a publicização da luta pela Cisplatina, sendo Astréa um dos mais expressivos partícipes desse debate.
O imaginário geográfico brasileiro em revista
Authors: Dos Santos Teixeira Cristhiano
Published: December 2024

O artigo buscará compreender de que maneira a ideia de “natureza” passou a governar a mentalidade política da identidade nacional brasileira no século XIX. Essa identidade constituída, como sabemos, como base de representação da unidade dos indivíduos com a natureza. A partir daí, o contexto político do império forjou para si um sentido que evidenciaria essa relação. Por exemplo, os relatos de José da Cunha Matos, que defendia que a natureza habitaria a identidade dos homens e revelaria a sua unidade, a sua identificação. Essa ideia de “identidade” passou a se vincular, então, à ideia de “natureza”, compondo, assim, esse quadro geral do pensamento da nossa cultura. Fixando, assim, o homem à sua terra, e vinculando identidade e natureza, histórica e geográfica. O que refletiria justamente a tentativa de superação da falta de unidade pelo império.
A relação de Alberto Torres com os espaços acadêmicos e a presença das ideias abolicionistas e republicanas (1880-1892)
Authors: De Souza Favoretti João Paulo
Published: December 2024

O estudo dos intelectuais brasileiros apresenta-se como tarefa importante para compreensão das ideias políticas do contexto Oitocentista, bem como de sua circulação e modos de apropriação pelos sujeitos. Sendo assim, neste trabalho pretende-se analisar o desenvolvimento das ideias de Alberto Torres (1865-1917), que foi um intelectual e político fluminense atuante nos três poderes da República e que adquiriu proeminência na formação do pensamento político brasileiro, por ter sido lido por outras gerações de pensadores. O foco desta análise consiste em situar a atuação e o pensamento de Torres com a emergência do movimento republicano e os diálogos empreendidos com as ideias abolicionistas. Para tal, recorreu-se a excertos jornalísticos com o intuito de investigar a fase da vida do autor anterior à sua produção intelectual mais conhecida, consagrada em seus cinco livros, publicados entre 1909 e 1915, após sua aposentadoria.

Published: December 2024

RESUMO: Neste artigo, buscamos abordar a forma pela qual nossas lentes culturais, baseadas em uma matriz de poder, criam linhas abissais ao considerar o transtorno do espectro autista, sobretudo, a questão da “deficiência. Para tanto, três aspectos serão destacados - a decolonialidade, o TEA e a psicologia histórico-cultural de Vygotsky para abordar a complexidade da discussão. Enfatizamos a necessidade de uma epistemologia crítica que questione as relações de poder e promova a inclusão de perspectivas historicamente excluídas. Enfatizamos a necessidade de luta pela inclusão de pessoas com autismo, cujas vozes e experiências são frequentemente ignoradas ou desvalorizadas em discussões sobre políticas sociais, educação e empregabilidade. Abordamos, ainda, a necessidade de enfrentamento dos desafios associados ao TEA que requerem esforços coletivos, interdisciplinar e continuado, que transcenda as barreiras da patologização e abra caminhos para a plena participação e reconhecimento das pessoas com autismo em todos os espaços da vida cotidiana.

Background/Objectives: Falls are the leading cause of fatal traumatic injury and the most common cause of non-fatal trauma-related hospital admissions
among the elderly. With the aging U.S. population, the incidence of injury from falls is increasing. Emergency Medical Service (EMS) personnel are often the
first responders in assessing and treating older adults who have fallen. Some fall victims are transported to the hospital, but many do not require hospital
transport, in which case prehospital personnel are the sole initial providers. While some hospitals have begun to report programs to assess and mitigate fall
risk in trauma patients, fall prevention programs have not been described for patients treated only in the field. The purpose of this study is to describe our
progress in creating a community fall prevention program. This program is based upon the premise that EMS personnel are in a prime position to provide
interventions to prevent future falls.
Design: This is a retrospective analysis of data from the Ventura County (VC) EMS as well as from the Elderly Fall Prevention Program (EFPP). VC-EMS
personnel were trained to identify fall risk patients and offer program services following a fall-related 911 call. This outcome study compared the fall rate of
two groups among the elderly, one of which received EBEP. Group assignment was based on voluntary participation in the evidence-based exercise programs
(EBEP). We also compared and tracked the number of fall related EMS calls during the study period to evaluate the effectiveness of the fall prevention
program. The study period was from 2013 to 2016.
Results: 878 patients receiving the EBEP between 2014-2016 showed a significant decrease in falls (6% vs. 18%, p <0.01) compared to patients who
did not receive the EBEP. The number of fall-related EMS calls increased during the study period; however, there was a decline in the proportion of fall-related
EMS calls that required hospital transportation from 77.6% in 2013 to 65.1% in 2015.
Conclusion: Volunteer participation in this evidence-based exercise program helps reduce future falls in a vulnerable population. Additionally, this study
shows that EMS can successfully recruit and implement a fall prevention program.
Evaluation of Some Haemorheologic Parameters amongst Automotive Spray Painters in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Authors: Providence Ozahenyirichi Joshua Serekara Gideon Christian , Mgbeoma Eze Evelyn
Published: December 2024

Background/Objectives: Automotive Spray-Painters are at a higher risk of exposure to hazardous chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons – benzene inclusive, and heavy metals which may cause adverse health outcomes. The aim of the study was to evaluate effect of exposure to spray paints on some haemorheological parameters in individuals involved in automotive spray painting within Port Harcourt Metropolis. Method: This case control study recruited 52 participants: 30 automotive spray-painters and 22 controls. The study was carried out in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Nigeria. Venous blood samples were drawn from the participants (age 20 to 65 years) and examined for packed cell volume, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, fibrinogen and haemoglobin. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from participants. Result: Participants from painting occupation had significantly higher ESR (p = 0.0450) as a result of increase in number of years in Automotive Spray-Painting. Increased ESR may be an indication of inflammation in the body. There was no statistical significance between Automotive Spray-Painters and control subjects when values of haemoglobin concentration, packed cell volume, fibrinogen concentration and erythrocyte concentration was compared in Automotive Spay-Painters, however, their values were increased than that control subjects at p<0.05. Conclusion: The study revealed that prolonged inhalation of benzene and other aromatic toxic compounds in paints caused slight increase in haemorheological parameters (PCV, HB, ESR and fibrinogen) of Automotive Spray-Painters due to exposure to paint fumes, a risk factor for inflammation of vital organs, venous thrombosis and thromboembolism; and predisposes Spray-Painters to many health disorders which can affect their lungs, heart, blood vessels, and ultimately the transport of oxygen to the brain.
Green Growth Index for India: Drivers, Disparities and Ramifications
Authors: M S Navaneeth , Siddiqui Ismail , Sahu Santosh Kumar
Published: December 2024

This article introduces a novel green growth index (GGI), offering a new benchmark for assessing the performance of Indian states in sustainable development. Departing from traditional indices like the Human Development Index and Sustainable Development Goal Index, our approach integrates economic, environmental, and social factors, providing a comprehensive perspective on sustainable development. The study emphasizes the critical role of energy use and input utilization efficiency as major drivers of green growth disparities, alongside conventional economic growth. The findings suggest that robust governance institutions are also key contributors to green growth. The research reveals that states with higher gross domestic product generally exhibit better performance on the GGI but also underscores the importance of addressing the uneven development across different pillars of green growth. The insights and methodologies presented here are poised to inform targeted policy interventions and contribute to ongoing efforts in promoting inclusive and sustainable green growth, taking into consideration the complex trade-offs between environmental protection and socioeconomic inequalities.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ADVERSE EFFECTS FOLLOWING BOOSTER DOSE BY DIFFERENT mRNA COVID 19 VACCINES AFTER TWO DOSES OF ADENOVIRAL VACCINATION IN HEALTH CARE WORKERS
Authors: Laura Luka , Vučijak Marko , Arapović Maja , Arapović Jurica
Published: December 2024

Objective: This study explores the adverse effects to different messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines (BNT162b2/Pfizer or mRNA-1273/Moderna) in health-care workers (HCWs) who received a third (booster) dose and were previously vaccinated twice with the adenoviral vector vaccine (ChAdOx1-S/Astra Zeneca).
Materials and methods: The data were collected based on surveys of 175 HCWs at the University Clinical Hospital (UCH) Mostar from October 2021 to March 2022. The participants filled out the initial general survey form immediately before the booster vaccination and a second survey form regarding adverse effects after the vaccination. Based on the administered vaccines, HCWs were divided into two groups – Pfizer and Moderna. Data organisation and statistical analysis were performed using Microsoft Excel and SPSS statistical software.
Results: Out of 175 participants, 132 (75.4%) had mild adverse effects post-vaccination, while no severe adverse effects were recorded. Adverse effects overall were significantly more frequent in participants vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine compared to the Pfizer vaccine (82.7%, P < 0.001) and were significantly more prevalent in women (82.5%, P = 0.031). Specifically, shoulder pain, chills, shivering, and fever were more frequently reported by participants vaccinated with the Moderna vaccine.
Conclusions: Both mRNA vaccines were considered safe to use, while the use of the Pfizer vaccine as a booster dose in a heterologous vaccination approach might have a lower incidence of adverse effects. Thus, the wide range of available vaccines is favourable during pandemic, and their dosages should be reconsidered primarily according to their immunological effectiveness in the future.

INCIDENCE OF PULMONARY THROMBOEMBOLISM IN PATIENTS SUBJECTED TO COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY AND PULMONARY ANGIOGRAPHY AT THE UNIVERSITY CLINICAL HOSPITAL MOSTAR
Authors: Krpan Marko , Karlović Kristian , Brajković Marin , Čabraja Lana
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism is a serious medical problem with high mortality if not recognized in time. CT pulmonary angiography is a key method for diagnosing pulmonary embolism in patients with nonspecific symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and elevated D-dimer values.
Objective: To determine the incidence of pulmonary embolism in patients undergoing CT pulmonary angiography at the University Clinical Hospital Mostar.
Subjects and methods: A retrospective study included 300 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism who underwent CT pulmonary angiography. Technical imaging parameters included a low-dose protocol with intravenous iodine contrast. The results were analyzed by descriptive statistics, with an assessment of the frequency of pulmonary embolism, thrombus localization and incidental findings.
Results: Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed in 27% of patients, with the most frequent involvement of the lobar arteries (43%). Massive emboli were recorded in 33% of cases. The average age of the respondents was 64 years, with an almost equal gender distribution. Elevated D-dimers were not sufficient to confirm the diagnosis in most patients. Incidental findings included pleural effusions, pneumonia, and tumors.
Conclusion: CT pulmonary angiography is necessary for accurate diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, especially in patients with nonspecific symptoms. The results highlight the need to combine clinical and imaging methods, as well as adapt diagnostic protocols to reduce radiation exposure and optimize treatment outcomes. In the local context, these guidelines can improve diagnosis and treatment.
