Published: January 2024

Çanakkale Çan Termik Santrali’nde kömür yakılması sonucu oluşan uçucu kül, bir katı atık olarak günümüzde ciddi bir çevre sorunudur. Son yıllarda uçucu kül tarımda sürdürülebilir bir şekilde kullanılmakta ve bitki büyümesini ve verimini artıran önemli bir toprak iyileştirici olarak kabul edilmektedir. Uçucu küldeki bazı besinlerin (makro ve mikro) varlığı ve gözenekli yapısı, onu bitki büyümesi ve gelişimi için harika bir toprak düzenleyicisi yapar. Bu çalışmayla birlikte farklı uçucu kül seviyelerinin buğday (Triticum aestivum L.) bitkisi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek ve uygun uçucu kül uygulamalarını saptamak amaçlanmıştır. Uçucu külün buğday bitkisinin Gönen ve Sagittario çeşitlerinin çıkış oranı, fide boyu, yaş, kuru ağırlık ve yaprak alanı üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma, uçucu külün farklı uygulamalarının (Kontrol, 1500, 3000, 6000 ve 12000 ppm) toprağa karıştırılması ile tesadüf bloklar deneme desenine göre sera denemesi olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, uçucu külün daha düşük uygulamaları (1500, 3000 ve 6000 ppm) buğday bitkisinde çıkış oranı ve büyüme parametreleri olan bitki boyu ve kuru ağırlığını artırmıştır. Öte yandan, uçucu külün daha yüksek uygulamalarda (12000 ppm), olumsuz bir etki göstermiş ve buğday bitkisinin fide boyu, yaş ağırlık ve yaprak alanını azaltmıştır.

Authors: Abiodun Abigail
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The aim of the study was to the impact of fake news and misinformation on political communication and civic engagement in Nigeria

Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.

Findings: Fake news and misinformation have a significant impact on political communication and civic engagement in Nigeria. They hinder informed decision-making, fuel political polarization, and erode public trust in institutions. These issues also contribute to the spread of rumors and conspiracy theories, undermining the credibility of accurate news sources. Furthermore, fake news is used for political manipulation and inciting violence in the country. Addressing this problem requires a comprehensive approach, including media literacy programs, fact-checking efforts, and legislative measures to combat the dissemination of false information.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Agenda-setting theory, selective exposure theory & social identity theory may be used to anchor future studies on impact of fake news and misinformation on political communication and civic engagement in Nigeria. Proactively develop crisis communication plans tailored to Kenya's unique challenges, such as natural disasters or political instability. Align crisis communication practices with Kenya's legal and regulatory framework, including data protection and media laws.

Published: January 2024

The focus of public attention in recent times has been on companies that have gone public. This can be seen from the economic, environmental and social performance provided by the Company. The environment accompanied by social responsibility is able to encourage performance and reduce the company's risks. This research aims to examine in literature the influence of sustainability accounting on the performance of companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This research is descriptive research. This research uses secondary methods with a literature review. The data used is research data from several journals that are relevant to the research conducted. Research using the literature review model will discuss or summarize the thoughts obtained from the author's ideas through reviewing several documents on relevant topics. Based on the results of the literature review, it was found that sustainability accounting in the economic disclosure dimension has no influence on the economic performance of a company. The same thing also happens to the environmental disclosure dimension which has no influence on the company's economic performance. In fact, disclosure of social performance has no effect on financial performance. In this case financial performance is represented by return on Assets (ROA). The same thing happens if company performance is replaced with ROS (return on sales), but social disclosure has an effect on company performance as represented by the ROE variable.

Authors: Sulistiyanto Sulistiyanto , Satriadi Indra , Rahman Arif
Published: January 2024

The transformation of archival document storage systems is starting to shift from physical formats that require a lot of space and storage equipment to the electronic or digital realm (often called electronic archives). This is considered to reduce the costs of procuring equipment and storage space. In line with changes in paperless storage patterns, the issue of data security and confidentiality becomes important, so that information from documents to be archived can be maintained and cannot be used by irresponsible people. One technique for securing documents digitally is to use cryptography and the algorithm chosen is Rivest cipher 4. The RC4 (Rivest Chiper 4) algorithm was chosen because the execution speed in file encryption is faster than other algorithms. This article aims to implement the RC4 algorithm into an electronic archive (e-Archieve) application. The application development method uses the waterfall method with 5 stages. The application was built using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, as well as the Rivest Cipher 4 cryptographic algorithm. The result of the application development is an electronic archive website. Every file uploaded to the server can be encrypted by the admin. Encrypted files will change to random characters like a virus. The application was tested using black box testing techniques, where all features worked as expected

Research on Bovine Endometritis: Current Insights and Future Directions – A Review
Authors: Singh Madhumeet
Published: January 2024

The post-partum reproductive performance of cows is identified as a pivotal factor influencing the success or failure  of the dairy industry. Achieving timely uterine involution, complete endometrial regeneration, and the resumption of  ovarian cyclic activity are crucial for conception within the desired timeframe. However, uterine contamination with  pathogens during parturition remains an unavoidable challenge, leading to suboptimal productivity and fertility. Metritis  and clinical endometritis are recognized post-partum conditions, while sub-clinical endometritis has emerged as a  significant threat to achieving desired fertility in dairy cows. This review summarizes a comprehensive assessment of  factors contributing to delayed clearance and persistence of uterine infections in dairy cows, particularly sub-clinical  endometritis (SCE). Diagnostic techniques, including bacterial culture, the Whiteside test, endometrial cytology, and  trans-rectal ultrasonography (TRUS), are discussed, each with advantages and limitations.The paper explores the  association between SCE and various risk factors, such as negative energy balance (NEB), metabolic indicators, and  hormonal changes during the post-partum period. The significance of parameters like body condition score (BCS), backfat  thickness (BFT), and metabolic indicators (leptin, NEFA, BHBA) in assessing energy status and predicting reproductive  efficiency is highlighted.In addition, the underexplored area of fungal infections in dairy cows’ uteri, emphasizing fungi’s  opportunistic nature and their potential to cause reproductive failure has also been reviewed. The immune system’s role  in uterine defense against fungal infections and the diagnostic challenges, including mycological cultures and cytological  examinations, the therapeutic challenges, and the poor prognosis associated with fungal endometritis have also been  discussed.

Published: January 2024

The present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of blood glucose, total protein and haemoglobin at the time of induced estrus on conception rate in 30 postpartum anestrus crossbred dairy cows. The cows were treated with progesterone intravaginal (CIDR) based estrus induction protocol with double fixed timed inseminations at 12 and 24 h after injection of last GnRH. estrus induction response was 100% with majority of the cows (80%) showed intermediate intensity of estrus. On the day of first AI, blood was collected from all the animals for the estimation of glucose, total protein and haemoglobin. The mean time to onset of estrus from the time of removal of CIDR was 44.85 ± 7.23 h. The overall conception rate in the present study was 30 % (9/30). In the present study, the mean values of glucose, total protein and haemoglobin at the time of estrus were 43.81 ± 1.14 mg/dl, 7.78 ± 0.24 g/dl and 8.68 ± 0.22 g/dl respectively. The mean glucose, total protein and haemoglobin levels in the anestrus cows which were included in the study are lower than the normal range. There is no significant different in the biochemical parameters among the cows showing weak, intermediate and intense intensity of estrus. Similarly, there is no significant difference in the biochemical parameters between the cows that conceived and cows not has not conceived. The findings in the present study clearly indicates that poor nutritional status may be the cause for the anestrus condition of the animal under field conditions.

Authors: Hawthorn Steven , Jesus Rui , Baptista Mariana
Published: January 2024

This article explores the potential contribution of serious games in improving environmental risk communicationin view of reformingEducation for Sustainability(EfS) using a serious game.Following concerns related to the apparent weakness of EfS in providing transitional skills towards resilient and sustainable societies, we present some pedagogical approaches as the basis for learning processes when designing and building a serious game prototype. We explain why both targeting children and embracing uncertainty in the context of risk is strategic, and why using a serious game as a learning vehicle is particularly relevant in the context of an information and communication technology (ICT) reliant society.The article suggests how the use of key messages in an adventure game format could address other natural hazards. It demonstrates the potential of certain dimensions of ICTs in helping to adapt learning to the classroom environment and in generating both practical skills and long-term positive impacts in society.

Authors: Yajni Archit , Tamang Ms. Sabu Lama
Published: January 2024

The article represents the Sentiment Analysis (SA) and Tense Classification using Skip gram model for the word to vector encoding on Nepali language. The experiment on SA for positive-negative classification is carried out in two ways. In the first experiment the vector representation of each sentence is generated by using Skip-gram model followed by the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) classification and it is observed that the F1 score of 0.6486 is achieved for positive-negative classification with overall accuracy of 68%. Whereas in the second experiment the verb chunks are extracted using Nepali parser and carried out the similar experiment on the verb chunks. F1 scores of 0.6779 is observed for positive -negative classification with overall accuracy of 85%. Hence, Chunker based sentiment analysis is proven to be better than sentiment analysis using sentences. This paper also proposes using a skip-gram model to identify the tenses of Nepali sentences and verbs. In the third experiment, the vector representation of each sentence is generated by using Skip-gram model followed by the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP)classification and it is observed that verb chunks had very low overall accuracy of 53%. In the fourth experiment, conducted for Tense Classification using Sentences resulted in improved efficiency with overall accuracy of 89%. Past tenses were identified and classified more accurately than other tenses. Hence, sentence based tense classification is proven to be better than verb Chunker based sentiment analysis.

Os diferentes tipos de solos que constituem a parte agricultável do Brasil, apresentam para a maioria dos casos uma necessidade de reposição de nutrientes a cada safra. Os insumos e fertilizantes utilizados na correção do solo, tem sofrido grande aumento por causa das guerras e políticas econômicas. Com objetivo de propor uma solução prática e de baixo custo para o produtor rural, efetuou-se um experimento, envolvendo o uso de rocha triturada, comumente denominada rochagem, em um solo, observando os efeitos dos elementos desprendidos da rocha para o solo, durante o crescimento de rabanetes. Empregou-se a rocha kamafugito em valores de massa entre 2,44% a 28,54%, usando como parâmetro de comparação os elementos ferro e fósforo. Nota-se que a disponibilização dos elementos é crescente conforme se aumenta o teor de rocha, e que os vegetais colhidos apresentaram diferenciações em função do teor de rocha pulverizada adicionada ao solo.
Can infrastructure, built environment, and geographic factor negate weather impact on Strava cyclists?

Cycling participation is context-sensitive and weather condition is reportedly a significant factor. How weather affects cyclists with different demographics, trip purposes, and in the context of cycling infrastructure, built environment and geographic factors is less well understood by existing literature. This paper applies autoregressive models to explain difference in Strava cycling volume from the same hour of the previous day as a function of change in weather conditions, and day of the week; the contextual effect of cycling infrastructure, built environment and geographic factors is accounted for using interaction terms. We use Strava crowdsourced cycling data in Sydney, Australia, as a case study; commute and leisure cyclists, male and female, young and older cyclists are modeled separately. We find weather conditions have a statistically significant effect on cycling participation; rain, rainfall in the last 2 hours and wind are general deterrents to cycling. Physically separated cycling lanes reduce the adverse effect of precipitation on leisure cyclists and male cyclists but have little effect in retaining commute cyclists and female cyclists. The adverse effect of precipitation and wind on commute cycling is amplified in areas with good access to jobs, possibly due to the availability of better alternative modes of transport. Inland locations generally attenuate effects of windy conditions, except for young adults. This paper sheds light on factors attenuating adverse weather effects on cycling participation and provides useful guidance for future cycling infrastructure.

Introducción: Los niños con Parálisis Cerebral Infantil (PCI) tienen graves afecciones nutricionales por síntomas gastrointestinales como el reﬂujo gastroesofágico (RGE). El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar las técnicas de gastrostomía Percutánea con Funduplicatura de Nissen (FN) mínimamente invasiva (FN-MI) versus cirugía abierta (FN-CA) para tratamiento de reflujo gastroesofágico y trastornos de la deglución, en niños con parálisis cerebral infantil.
Metodología: En este estudio observacional con muestreo no probabilístico se incluyeron niños con PCI con trastornos de deglución y RGE del Hospital de niños Dr. Roberto Gilbert Elizalde, en Guayaquil-Ecuador del período 2017 al 2022. Se registró la edad, tipo de cirugía, complicaciones, tiempo de inicio alimentación, síntomas y comorbilidades. Se realiza un análisis descriptivo. Un segundo análisis compara pacientes tratados con FN-MI + Gastrostomía Percutánea versus FN-CA + gastrostomía tipo Stamm.
Resultados: Se incluyeron 62 casos, 40 hombres (64.5%), <3 años 39 pacientes (62.9%); desnutrición severa en 27 casos (61.4%), 13 casos (29.5%) fueron ingresados por un episodio de neumonía; 52 pacientes con FN-CA y 10 con FN-MI. El inicio de la alimentación a las 48 horas en el grupo FN-MI 8 casos (80%), en FN-CA 3 casos (5.8%) P<0.0001. No hubo diferencias de edad y complicaciones entre los grupos
Conclusión: Con la técnica de gastrostomía Percutánea con FN-MI se presentaron un mínimo tiempo al cual los pacientes iniciaron la alimentación por la sonda de gastrostomía.
Nakazał zbudować sobie dom, by w nim odbywały się uroczystości zaślubin. Absalona ze Sprinckirsbach kazanie XL na poświęcenie kościoła

The Polish reader is hereby presented with a translation of the third of four sermons by Absalon of Sprinckirsbach (died 1205), an author belonging to the Victorine circle, on the consecration of the church. The translation is accompanied by several commentaries in the form of footnotes. The Latin text of the work, which is currently only available in a non-critical version in the Latin patrology, has also been added so that the proposed translation can be easily compared with the original. The submitted publication is part of a wider project. As part of this project, two texts have so far been submitted for publication, namely translations of Absalon’s sermons XXXVIII and XXXIX intended for the day of the dedication of the temple.
Regional Planning for Just and Reasonable Rates

Natural gas—a fuel used for electricity generation, heating, and transportation—plays an outsized role in the U.S. economy. Under the Natural Gas Act, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission) is responsible for overseeing the orderly development of interstate natural gas pipelines, which facilitate the transmission of natural gas throughout the country. Before a developer can construct or expand an interstate pipeline, it must apply to FERC for authoriza-tion; FERC can approve the pipeline only if it finds that it is required by the “public convenience and necessity.” Although FERC should consid-er a range of factors to determine whether a pipeline will serve the public interest, in practice, it looks primarily to the existence of prece-dent agreements, i.e., contracts between a developer and its customers for the purchase of pipeline capacity. If a developer can demonstrate that there is a party willing to pay to use its pipeline, FERC rarely asks questions and almost always finds “public” need. In this way, the natu-ral gas transmission network has developed through a system of ad hoc decisionmaking organized around the needs of private companies that earn a hefty return on their capital investments.

This pipeline-by-pipeline approach to natural gas transmission build-out leads to the construction of unnecessary, underused pipe-lines, which in turn increases ratepayer costs and decreases consumer welfare. Climate change further increases the risk that pipelines will become obsolete as cities and states move toward electrification. Fur-thermore, the gas transmission planning process—or lack thereof—stands in stark contrast to electric transmission planning, an activity that FERC also regulates but that is conducted by centralized entities on a regional scale. This contrast is especially confounding consider-ing that electric transmission is regulated under the Federal Power Act, a sister law to the Natural Gas Act with similar statutory require-ments.

Relying on economic theory, legal history, and policy analysis, we make the case for FERC’s adoption of regional gas transmission plan-ning. We begin by describing the status quo and articulating why FERC’s current process is economically inefficient. In doing so, we draw parallels between gas and electric transmission planning and de-scribe how FERC treats the two activities inconsistently. We then ex-plain why, under two provisions of the Natural Gas Act, FERC possesses both the legal authority and obligation to require regional planning. Finally, we envision how FERC might conduct gas transmission plan-ning going forward, encouraging FERC to account for increasing elec-trification efforts and to plan for gas and electric transmission in tan-dem.

The Indonesian Aviation Navigation Service Organizing Agency, operating as a State-Owned Enterprise, is obligated to uphold the tenets of Good Corporate Governance per the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Regulation Number 01 of 2011. This commitment extends to the implementation of policies outlined in Law Number 14 of 2008, specifically addressing the Openness of Public Information. A nuanced analysis, rooted in George Edward's implementation theory, delves into the complexities of how the Information and Documentation Management Officer at AirNav Indonesia navigates the communication dynamics, resource allocation, organizational disposition, and bureaucratic structure inherent in executing public information disclosure policies. Employing qualitative methods and triangulation techniques, this study unravels the intricate interplay of these components, illustrating that effective implementation transcends procedural adherence to embody a comprehensive orchestration of transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness within the context of public information disclosure. The Information and Documentation Management Officer emerges as a pivotal figure, strategically aligning these elements to achieve a robust realization of the principles of good corporate governance.
