Published: February 2025

The Internet of Things (IoT), which is characteristic of the current industrial revolutions, is the connection of physical devices through different protocols and sensors to share information. Even though the IoT provides revolutionary opportunities, its connection to the current Internet for smart cities brings new opportunities for security threats, especially with the appearance of new threats like quantum computing. Current approaches to protect IoT data are not immune to quantum attacks and are not designed to offer the best data management for smart city applications. Thus, post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which is still in its research stage, aims to solve these problems. To this end, this research introduces the Dynamic Galois Reed–Solomon with Quantum Resilience (DGRS-QR) system to improve the secure management and communication of data in IoT smart cities. The data preprocessing includes K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and min–max normalization and then applying the Galois Field Adaptive Expansion (GFAE). Optimization of the quantum-resistant keys is accomplished by applying Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) and Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) algorithms. Also, role-based access control provides strong cloud data security, and quantum resistance is maintained by refreshing keys every five minutes of the active session. For error correction, Reed–Solomon (RS) codes are used which provide data reliability. Data management is performed using an attention-based Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Att-Bi-LSTM) model with skip connections to provide optimized city management. The proposed approach was evaluated using key performance metrics: a key generation time of 2.34 s, encryption time of 4.56 s, decryption time of 3.56 s, PSNR of 33 dB, and SSIM of 0.99. The results show that the proposed system is capable of protecting IoT data from quantum threats while also ensuring optimal data management and processing.

Published: February 2025

This article proposes an arbitrary polygonal hybrid stress element considering gravity. It derives an arbitrary polygonal hybrid stress element considering gravity alone for slope stability related engineering analysis. In the stability analysis of slopes, slope disasters caused by gravity erosion have recently become an urgent problem to be solved through engineering. The traditional finite element analysis of slope stability faces problems such as a large number of divided elements and slow calculation efficiency. By introducing high-order stress fields through stress hybridization elements, accurate results can be simulated using a small number of elements. When dividing the mesh, most of the cell shapes are asymmetric, and the shape of the cell can be any polygon, which can simulate the geometric shape of complex slopes well and more accurately calculate the stress distribution in different parts, thus accurately simulating the stability situation in engineering. By comparing with the corresponding commercial software MARC 2020, the effectiveness and efficiency of the element were verified. It has been proven that any polygonal hybrid stress element has the advantage of flexible mesh division, which can obtain high-order stress fields and stress concentration phenomena with fewer elements. Applying this element to practical problems of slopes in engineering has also achieved good calculation results.

Published: February 2025

Fresh produce, as a primary source of nutrition, plays a pivotal role in daily life. However, the unique characteristics of fresh produce—such as perishability, widespread production, short shelf life, long distribution cycles, and high volatility in both supply and demand—render the fresh produce supply chain particularly vulnerable to disruptions. These vulnerabilities not only impact daily consumption but also pose significant challenges to the operational efficiency of enterprises. Enhancing the fresh produce supply chain resilience is crucial for businesses to effectively mitigate risks, ensure consistent product quality, and maintain overall supply chain stability. Nevertheless, there remains a lack of clear, process-oriented guidance for developing resilience improvement strategies within the fresh agricultural product sector. Specifically, there is insufficient clarity regarding which elements should be prioritized for investment in resilience strategies, how these strategies should be formulated, and the absence of a theoretically sound framework to guide the strategic development of supply chain resilience improvements. To address the lack of scientific, quantitative, efficient, and specific processes for generating supply chain resilience improvement strategies in fresh agricultural product enterprises, this study adopts the framework of extensible primitive theory. Initially, an evaluation index system for the fresh produce supply chain is constructed, and the extendable evaluation method is employed to assess the resilience level of fresh agricultural product enterprises. This approach facilitates the identification of the key challenges that must be addressed to enhance supply chain resilience and helps generate strategies that reconcile previously incompatible issues. Next, the core objectives and conditions underlying the resilience incompatibilities in fresh agricultural product enterprises are quantitatively analyzed. Finally, the expansion transformation of both target and condition primitives is carried out to derive the optimal strategy for improving supply chain resilience. The study uses company M as a case example, where the evaluation results indicate that the company’s supply chain resilience is rated as “good”. However, several issues were identified, including inefficiencies in product supply, limited financing capacity, low enterprise visibility, and inadequate production and processing equipment. Based on these findings, the paper proposes a series of optimization strategies aimed at improving the fresh produce supply chain resilience through extension transformation.

Published: February 2025

The industrial Internet plays a vital role in promoting the digital transformation of enterprises, especially in the core application field of the power industry. Evaluating the maturity of the industrial Internet of power enterprises and finding the weak points in the construction of the industrial Internet are of great significance for the digital transformation of power enterprises. Firstly, this paper reviews the existing literature and analyzes the evaluation situation of industrial Internet maturity. Research has found that there is relatively little research on the maturity evaluation of the industrial Internet for the power industry, and existing maturity models have difficulty meeting industry-specific needs. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to build a maturity evaluation model of the industrial Internet suitable for the power industry. Subsequently, based on the specific characteristics of the power industry, while referring to the authoritative literature and industry standards, this paper constructs a three-level index system covering key elements such as equipment networking, information network infrastructure construction, supply chain management, and intelligent production and simultaneously expounds the quantitative collection methods and scoring principles of indices. Then, introducing the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine subjective weights and the Entropy Weight Method (EWM) to quantify the objective weights of indices, a maturity evaluation method that combines subjective judgment and objective data support is formed. Later, the calculation method for the comprehensive score of indices and the criteria for classifying maturity levels are explained. Finally, a specific power enterprise is selected as a case study, and the evaluation results are analyzed to verify the feasibility of the evaluation method.

Published: February 2025

N, N-Dimethylaniline is an important chemical intermediate and an important metabolite of the pesticide Fenaminosulf. It is widely used in chemical production, but there is an extreme paucity of environmental risk assessments for N, N-dimethylaniline.: In this study, the cardiotoxicity of continuous exposure to N, N-dimethylaniline (20, 40, and 80 μg/mL) for 72 h was evaluated using zebrafish embryos.: The study found that N, N-dimethylaniline not only exhibits developmental toxicity to zebrafish embryos, leading to abnormalities such as pericardial edema, yolk sac edema, and spinal curvature, but also induces oxidative stress, lipid accumulation, and apoptosis, particularly affecting the heart region. Cardiac function indicators such as pericardial area, sinus venosus (SV) and bulbar artery (BA) distance, heart rate, and red blood cell (RBC) rate were all significantly altered due to exposure to N, N-dimethylaniline, with impaired cardiac morphology and structure and the downregulation of gene expression related to heart development and function (myl7, vmhc, myh6, bmp4, tbx2b, and has2).: The research findings suggest that the heart may be the potential target organ for the toxic effects of N, N-dimethylaniline, providing a scientific basis for the rational use of this compound and environmental protection. Furthermore, it enhances public awareness of the safety of substances that may degrade to produce N, N-dimethylaniline during their use.

Published: February 2025

Biochar can stabilize heavy metals in soil and inhibit their accumulation in plants as a soil amendment. Sepiolite has also shown good effects in the remediation of soil heavy metal pollution. In this study, biochar, sepiolite, and biochar–sepiolite combined amendments were used to evaluate the accumulation of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) in soil by 29 corn varieties. The concentrations of Cd and Pb in corn fruits were the lowest (Pb: 0.11 mg/kg, Cd: 0.06 mg/kg). There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) in Pb and Cd accumulation in the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits in the 29 corn varieties. The BCF and TF values of Pb and Cd in the 29 corn varieties were different, and Pb is more likely to accumulate in the roots, Cd is more likely to accumulate in the leaves, and neither heavy metal is easily translocated to the corn fruits. The combination of biochar and sepiolite creates an environment conducive to the retention of heavy metals in the root zone, effectively reducing the risk of heavy metal contamination in the edible parts of the plants. After considering various factors, such as environmental adaptability, we recommend using sepiolite and biochar combined as a soil amendment material and planting the WG1790 variety. Field experiments are needed to verify the effects. These results provide scientific evidence and new strategies for the selection of corn varieties and soil amendments.

Published: February 2025

Over the past century, human activities have profoundly transformed global ecosystems. Lake Victoria in East Africa exemplifies these challenges, showcasing the interplay of anthropogenic pressures driven by land use changes, urbanization, agriculture, and industrialization. Our comprehensive study investigates polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and n-alkanes in the lake and its catchment to trace their sources and historical deposition. Sediment cores were collected from six sites within the catchment, representing diverse landforms and human activities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the basin. The results indicate significant spatial and temporal variations in both PAH and n-alkane profiles, reflecting diverse land use changes and development trajectories in the basin. Urban sites often exhibited higher concentrations of PAHs and short-chain n-alkanes, indicative of anthropogenic sources such as fossil fuel combustion, the input of petroleum hydrocarbons, and industrial emissions. In contrast, rural areas showed low PAH levels and a dominance of long-chain n-alkanes from terrestrial plant waxes. The n-alkane ratios, including the Carbon Preference Index and the Terrigenous–Aquatic Ratio, suggested shifts in organic matter sources over time, corresponding with land use changes and increased human activities. A mid-20th century shift toward increased anthropogenic contributions was observed across sites, coinciding with post-independence development. The mid-lake sediment core integrated inputs from multiple sub-catchments, providing a comprehensive record of basin-scale changes. These findings highlight three distinct periods of organic matter input: pre-1960s, dominated by natural and biogenic sources; 1960s–1990s, marked by increasing anthropogenic influence; and post-1990s, characterized by complex mixtures of pyrogenic, petrogenic, and biogenic sources. This study underscores the cumulative environmental and aquatic ecosystem effects of urbanization (rural vs. urban sites), industrialization, and land use changes over the past century. The combined analyses of PAHs and n-alkanes provide a comprehensive understanding of historical and ongoing environmental impacts, emphasizing the need for integrated management strategies that address pollutant inputs to preserve Lake Victoria’s ecological integrity.

Published: February 2025

Repressor element-1 silencing transcription factor or neuron-restrictive silencer factor (REST/NRSF) is an extensively studied neuronal gene regulator both in neuronal cells and non-neuronal cells. Even though the role of REST in host cellular gene regulation is well established, its role in the establishment of viral infections and its capability to stabilize and destabilize such viral infections are scarcely studied. Co-repressor and DNA modifiers are involved in REST-mediated repressive action of its target genes. The role of REST and co-repressors together or individually in the regulation of viral as well as host genes has been unraveled in a few viruses such as HIV and influenza as well as two of the herpesvirus family members, namely herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and Kaposi’s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). Here, we summarize all such virus studies involved with REST to gain a better insight into REST biology in virus infections. We also focus on unraveling the possible RE-1 binding sites in the Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) genome, a well-known human oncogenic herpesvirus that is associated with infectious mononucleosis and neoplasms such as B-cell lymphomas, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, etc. An in silico-based approach was employed towards the prediction of such possible RE-1 binding elements in the EBV genome. This review advances the present knowledge of REST in virus infection which will aid in future efforts towards a better understanding of how REST acts in herpesviruses and other viruses for their infections and pathogenesis.

Occult HCV infection (OCI) is defined by the presence of HCV RNA in hepatocytes and/or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) without detectable HCV RNA or anti-HCV antibodies in plasma. OCI is underrecognized and may contribute to HCV transmission. This study estimated OCI prevalence and associated risk factors in adults from Mexico City. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, analyzing 507 general population volunteers. Demographic data and potential risk factors were collected via questionnaire. Anti-HCV detection was performed using two techniques: immunochromatographic rapid test and chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA). Nested PCR was employed to detect HCV RNA in plasma and PBMCs. Positive samples were genotyped through sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the Core/E1 region. Results: Of 507 participants, four were anti-HCV positive. HCV RNA was found in PBMCs of 27 individuals, while plasma samples tested negative, indicating a 5.3% OCI prevalence. OCI was significantly associated with blood donation (p = 0.015), drug use (p = 0.019), particularly cocaine (p = 0.001), and endoscopy (p = 0.043). Genotypes 1b, 1a, 2b, 3a, and 2j were detected in OCI cases. Conclusions: OCI prevalence in Mexico City’s general population is notable, with significant links to blood donation, cocaine use, and endoscopy. Enhanced diagnostic strategies are crucial to detect OCI and mitigate HCV transmission.

Norovirus is a major etiological agent of nonbacterial gastroenteritis around the world. Due to its in vitro culture complexity, high genome diversity, and the lack of cross-reactive immunity between genogroups, there is an unmet urgent need for polyvalent norovirus vaccines that provide broad-spectrum protection, and no vaccine has gained global approval to date. In this study, we constructed a bivalent norovirus vaccine, based on the highly attenuated poxvirus [strain VG9] vector, expressing the major capsid protein VP1 from genotypes GII.4 and GII.17. VG9-NOR exhibited a comparable replication ability to the authentic virus while preserving good safety. After the intramuscular and intranasal immunization of mice, VG9-NOR induced high IgG- and IgA-binding antibody (Ab) titers against GII.4 and GII.17, increased the secretion of GII.4 and GII.17-specific HGBA-blocking antibodies, and enhanced GII.17-specific mucosal immunity. Furthermore, VG9-NOR also induced a Th1-mediated cellular response. These results demonstrate that the polyvalent poxvirus vector vaccine expressing VP1 variants from different subtypes is able to elicit effective protection. Our study highlights the VG9 vector as a highly promising candidate for the development of polyvalent norovirus vaccines.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to further characterize the ultrafiltration (UF) method for determining free saccharide levels in glycoconjugate vaccines and compare it with other methods used for the determination of free saccharide levels in meningococcal glycoconjugate vaccines. Methods: We performed experiments on both meningococcal glycoconjugates and capsular polysaccharides, and compared UF, deoxycholate (DOC) precipitation, and solid-phase extraction (SPE) methods. Meningococcal capsular polysaccharides from groups A (MenA), C (MenC), and W (MenW) were depolymerized and characterized using SEC-MALS (size-exclusion chromatography with multi-angle laser light scattering) to determine the molecular weight and hydrodynamic size and then subjected to UF. The free saccharide content was quantified using HPAEC-PAD (high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection). Results: The characterization of size-reduced group C polysaccharide revealed weight-average molecular mass (Mw) ranging from 22,200 g/mol to 287,300 g/mol and hydrodynamic radii of 3.7 to 19.5 nm. Pore size studies confirmed that polysaccharides with diameters up to 15 nm filtered through the 100 kDa cellulose membrane. The smallest PS fragment tested (22,200 g/mol, 7.4 nm diameter) was partially recovered from the 30 kDa membrane. For MenC-CRM197, DOC yielded the lowest free saccharide content (<1%), UF gave moderate results (7–8%), and SPE showed the highest and most variable values (up to 15%). For MenA- and MenW-CRM197, UF and DOC consistently provided low free saccharide levels (<2% and 3–11%, respectively). Conclusions: The upper limits on the size of free group C meningococcal polysaccharides that can be ultrafiltered were assessed. Differences in the relative amount of free saccharide were observed between various methods used to control meningococcal conjugate vaccines.

Published: February 2025

Rivers in plateau regions are more vulnerable to human activities and climate change than those in plains due to cold climate and high altitude. Studying the temporal and spatial distribution of phosphorus against the backdrop of climate warming and human activities is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment of plateau rivers. This study focuses on the Yarlung Zangbo River, one of the highest-altitude rivers in the world, analyzing the different forms of phosphorus and total dissolved organic carbon (TOC) concentration and distribution characteristics in sediments and sediment–water interfaces at different time and spatial scales. The analysis indicators include total phosphorus (TP) and dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) in the water body; ammonium chloride-extractable phosphorus (NH4Cl-P), iron-bound phosphorus (Fe-P), calcium-bound phosphorus (Ca-P), aluminum-bound phosphorus (Al-P), organic phosphorus (OP), and TOC concentration and distribution in sediments. The results showed that the upstream and downstream sections of the Yarlung Zangbo River have relatively good water quality, while the middle stream section, affected by human activities, has higher phosphorus and TOC content in the water body. The phosphorus in the sediments is mainly in the form of Ca-P, indicating that the primary natural phosphorus input is through the disintegration of salts. During the freeze–thaw cycle, the organic matter in the sediments affects the phosphorus content in the water through adsorption and release. Climate warming is expected to increase the phosphorus load in the Yarlung Zangbo River. Comparative studies between plateau rivers and plains rivers have revealed that exogenous particulate phosphorus and endogenous phosphorus converted with the facilitation of organic matter are the main sources of eutrophication risk in plateau rivers. This study unveils the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of phosphorus and TOC in the Yarlung Zangbo River, and discusses the mechanisms affecting phosphorus concentrations in key plateau river nutrient elements, providing scientific support for the protection of the fragile ecological environment of plateau river ecosystems.

Published: February 2025

Existing aquifer water richness evaluation methods typically employ fixed indicator weights, failing to account for variations within individual controlling factors or interactions among multiple factors. This study introduces an enhanced water richness index method based on zoned variable weighting theory. Through unified normalization of water inrush controlling factors for each main mining coal seam, construction of variable weighting status vectors, division of unified variable weighting intervals, and determination of vulnerability index zoning thresholds, the method dynamically assigns weights to different evaluation indicators and adjusts weights based on varying state values. The study proposes a standardization and dimensionless processing approach for key controlling factors influencing aquifer water richness, including lithological differences, hydraulic properties, and weathering degrees. Using K-means clustering, variable-weighting interval thresholds are established for each controlling factor. The research also explores the construction of state variable-weighting vectors and the determination of adjustment parameters, quantitatively assessing the interactive relationships and relative importance of controlling factors on aquifer water richness. A variable-weighting-based water richness index model is developed. Taking the weathered bedrock aquifer of the No. 2 coal seam roof in the Hongliulin coal mine as a case study, this paper demonstrates the specific implementation steps of the proposed method. The results show that the variable-weighting model more accurately reflects aquifer heterogeneity and offers higher predictive accuracy compared to traditional constant-weighting methods.

Published: February 2025

In recent years, with the formal implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the rise of the blue economy, the trade cooperation between China and ASEAN in aquatic products has been further deepened and expanded. This paper utilizes United Nations Commodity Trade (UN Comtrade) data from 2001 to 2023 and combines the perspective of the blue economy to systematically analyze the characteristics of bilateral trade volume, growth rate, market distribution, and trade types of aquatic products between China and ASEAN. By applying the modified Constant Market Share (CMS) model, the paper conducts a factor decomposition and effect analysis of the growth factors in China’s aquatic exports to ASEAN. The analysis indicates that the competitiveness effect has the highest contribution rate, and competitiveness has been the primary driver of growth in China’s aquatic product export trade to ASEAN, followed by the growth effect increasing year by year, which shows the impact of the scale of demand, while the product effect is relatively low. In particular, product structure urgently needs improvement to meet the requirements of the blue economy. In ASEAN’s aquatic product exports to China, demand scale serves as the main driving force, with the product variety adapting to the Chinese market as a secondary contributor. However, under the blue economy framework, product sustainability and environmental friendliness have emerged as new considerations, while the contribution of competitiveness remains relatively low, suggesting a need for further enhancement to align with green trade standards.

Authors: Rakestraw Christopher
Published: February 2025

In the wake of race-based incidents over the past decade, racism is a topic of renewed interest within American society. Social workers and the general public are confronted with the realities of systemic racism. In response to this discourse, Predominantly White Churches from the Mainline Protestant tradition have demonstrated commitments to becoming anti-racist organizations. These faith-based groups, however, are frequently confronted with questions about actualizing these objectives. Social work education is often an untapped resource that can assist religious institutions in their pro-reconciliation journeys. This article presents an application of an integrated educational framework incorporating critical consciousness, intersectionality, and contemporary emotion theory. An educational strategy is offered focused on white racial identity development, white racial affects, and organizational dynamics unique to the white-dominant church context. The instructional curriculum addresses systemic racism at the individual and corporate levels. Limitations, future, research areas, and implications for practice and policy are elucidated.

Para tal, realizou-se a caracterização de cinco aglomerados de plântulas densos, escolhidos de forma aleatória, nos quais foram determinados dentro de parcelas de 20cm x 20cm: o número de plântulas; a quantidade de sementes sobre o solo e a distância do aglomerado até o adulto mais próximo, mantendo-se o controle a 1m de distância. Comparou-se a densidade de plântulas e sementes entre os aglomerados e as áreas controle pelo teste de médias. Foram feitos 10 transectos lineares de 10 por 4 metros, e em cada um deles foram quantificados os formigueiros e os aglomerados de plântulas, para testar a correlação entre esses através de modelos lineares generalizados no software R. Os aglomerados apresentaram densidade de 1395 plântulas/m² e de 895 sementes/m 2 , e as áreas controle apresentaram densidade de 65 plântulas/m² e de 85 sementes/m 2 , sendo essas diferenças significativas pelo teste de comparação de médias. A distância dos aglomerados até a planta mãe foi de, em média, 2m, o que demonstra que a dispersão pela Atta sp. não é suficiente para recrutar as sementes fora da área da copa da planta mãe, estimada em 4m. Foi observado um total de 23 aglomerados de plântulas. Destes, 82% encontravam-se sobre formigueiro visível, entretanto a correlação entre as quantidades totais de formigueiros com as quantidades totais de aglomerados de plântulas não foi significativa. A presença de Atta sp. na área mostrou que está influencia o estabelecimento das plântulas aumentando o grau de aglomeração das plântulas sobre os ninhos, com distanciamento médio de 2m da planta-mãe.

The use of DPR oversight instruments such as the right to interrelate, questionnaires and express opinions is not always directly proportional to improving governance. The problem is, first, the monitoring instruments are often used as a means of exchanging political interests. In fact, this nation's energy has been very much depleted, both in terms of time and funds in the proposed monitoring instrument. Second, the implications of the implementation of the DPR's oversight function are no longer within the frame of checks and balances, but have turned into a kind of accountability forum and interfered with the President's prerogative. As a result, the practice of supervision within the frame of Indonesia's presidential system has led to the parliamentary system pendulum. This is indicated by the provision of Article 74 of Law Number 2 of 2018 which regulates that each party (including the President) must implement the DPR's recommendation. If the recommendation is not implemented by the President, then the Parliament can follow it up with the right of interpellation, questionnaire or expressing opinions. If those who do not implement the recommendation are officials within the scope of the Presidential institution, the President must impose sanctions on those concerned. This arrangement is considered to have interfered with the President's prerogative rights and is in conflict with the characteristics of Indonesia's presidential system. Therefore, it is time for DPR oversight to focus on the use of the legislative function and the budget function.

Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2022 Tentang Provinsi Sumatera Barat adalah undang-undang yang berisi karakteristik Provinsi Sumatera Barat yang menuai polemik dan kontroversi dalam masyarakat yang dinilai tidak mengakomodir secara keseluruhan kebudayaan yang ada dalam masyarakat seperti Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini bagaimana kedudukan Pasal 5 huruf c Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2022 Tentang Provinsi Sumatera Barat terhadap Konstitusi dan Kebudayaan Mentawai. Pendekatan yang digunakan yakni pendekatan normatif yang bersifat deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dengan lahirnya Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2022 Tentang Provinsi Sumatera Barat tepatnya pada Pasal 5 huruf c perlu menjadi perhatian bersama karena undang-undang ini menggambarkan karakteristik wilayah Provinsi Sumatera Barat namun secara muatan ini tidak menggambarkan secara keseluruhan tentang karakteristik yang ada di Sumatera Barat, untuk itu perlu diajukan uji materil undang-undang yang merupakan kewenangan dari Mahkamah Konstitusi yang dikenal dengan Judicial Review. Kedudukan kebudayaan Kepulauan Mentawai dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2022 Tentang Provinsi Sumatera Barat ini belum memberikan penggambaran yang jelas karena Pasal 5 huruf c hanya menyebutkan karakteristik kebudayaan Minangkabau, sedangkan Kabupaten Kepulauan Mentawai bukanlah penganut adat budaya Minangkabau. Kepulauan Mentawai mempunyai kebudayaan sendiri yang berbeda dengan kebudayaan Sumatera Barat.
