Authors: Akkurt Acar Dilek , Çilengir Atilla Hikmet , Balaban Mehtap , Çamur Eren , Akdal Dölek Betül , Işıksalan Özbülbül Nilgün
Published: January 2025

Aim: To investigate the relationship between hypertension and the indentation and compression of the diaphragmatic crus in the renal artery.
Material and Methods: Abdominal computed tomography scans of 304 consecutive adult patients performed for any reason were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with crus indentation or compression on the renal artery were identified. Diaphragmatic crus contact was defined as compression if it caused stenosis more than 50% of the renal artery diameter, and indentation if it caused stenosis less than 50%. If the renal artery originated above the level of the L1-2 intervertebral disc, it was considered as a high origin.
Results: The mean age of women was 51±15.29 and the mean age of men was 52±15.38. Hypertension was present in 29.6% (n=74) of the patients. Diaphragmatic crus indentation (DCI) was detected in 8.4% (n=21) of all patients, and 76.2% (n=16) of these were men. Diaphragmatic crus compression (DCC) (n=3) was detected in 1.2% of all patients, and 67% (n=2) of these were women. Hypertension was present in 67% (n=2) of patients with DCC, all of them were women, and the mean age was 65.5 years. Hypertension was present in 38.1% (n=8) of patients with DCI.
Conclusions: DCI and DCC which can be caused by hypertrophic diaphragmatic crus or high origin of the renal artery, should be included in the etiology of renovascular hypertension. In addition to the presence of renal artery stenosis in a patient with hypertension, the relationship between the renal artery and diaphragmatic crus should also be evaluated.

Authors: Oliveira Márcio Paulo , Cima Elizabeth Giron , Uribe-Opazo Miguel Angel , Rocha-Junior Weimar Freire
Published: January 2025

This work aimed to analyze the density of agricultural production located in the West Mesoregion of Paraná-Brazil from 2018 to 2020 using maps generated by the Kernel Density Estimator. The municipalities with the largest agricultural production are of interest in this research, since they provide raw materials for the agro-industry and cooperatives. The scenario under study explains the participation of municipalities that develop activities in the agricultural and livestock context and that propel the regional economy and the growth of the state of Paraná-Brazil. The municipality of Assis Chateaubriand presented itself close to the municipalities with the highest productions. The kernel map contributes to the self-explanatory analysis by allowing the mapping of the concentration of productions in the municipalities. The result suggests that the impacts of municipalities with large agricultural production and livestock, justify the initiatives that seek investment in infrastructure, which promote the growth of the agribusiness sector. The results also suggest that researchers and agribusiness managers apply the methodology for studies of current indicators, aiming for economic benefits. The spatial patterns that impact agriculture and livestock at local, regional, national and global levels can be applied to increase knowledge about the production chain. In the West of Paraná, agricultural and livestock production has enabled the generation of revenues for the municipalities. This study supports the identification of priority regions of agricultural production with practices of economic, social and environmental sustainability, aiming at integrated systems of agricultural production for the food supply.

Authors: Shahi Dhurba Kumar , Khadka Bishnu Kumar
Published: January 2025

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching has transformed traditional classrooms by fostering interactive and student-centered learning. This study investigates English teachers’ perceptions of ICT use in EFL classrooms in Nepal, based on survey data from 222 secondary-level English teachers in Achham, Bajhang, and Kailali districts of the Far-Western Province, Nepal. Adopting a quantitative research design, the study examines teachers’ knowledge of ICT tools and their application across motivational, pedagogical, self-learning, and professional development domains. Findings indicate that teachers hold generally positive perceptions of ICT, acknowledging its potential to enhance motivation, enrich pedagogical practices, support self-learning, and facilitate professional growth. Teachers reported that ICT fosters engagement, improves lesson delivery, and provides access to global resources. However, practical challenges such as inadequate resources, insufficient training, and limited technical support hinder its effective implementation. Notable differences were observed in ICT usage based on teaching experience, availability of digital resources, and prior exposure to ICT training. Teachers strongly endorsed ICT as a motivational tool, emphasizing its ability to create engaging and enjoyable learning activities, while also highlighting its limitations in managing classroom behavior. In pedagogical practices, ICT was valued for enabling innovative approaches, though some teachers noted difficulties in seamlessly integrating it into traditional teaching contexts. The study also underscores ICT’s role in fostering self-learning and professional development, though further efforts are needed to address gaps in teacher confidence and sustained usage. The study recommends investing in ICT infrastructure, providing continuous professional development, and designing supportive policies to empower teachers. By addressing contextual barriers and promoting teacher competency, the findings aim to advance ICT-driven pedagogies in Nepal’s EFL classrooms.

Authors: Giri Om Prakash
Published: January 2025

Risk management is essential for achieving project objectives, particularly in construction projects, which involve complex processes and multiple stakeholders. This study examines the key risk factors affecting construction projects in developing countries, based on a review of various studies. Price inflation identified as the most significant risk, consistently ranked as the top factor due to its impact on material costs and project budgets. Design changes and errors are also prominent, contributing to project delays, rework, and cost escalations. Poor construction management ranks fourth, as it often leads to inefficiencies and delays. Financial difficulties faced by owners or contractors rank fifth. Unrealistic project schedules and shortages of construction materials also pose critical risks, highlighting the need for effective planning and resource management. Other notable risks include delays in payments, poor project planning, and low labor productivity, all of which impact project timelines and performance. In Nepal, additional risks such as safety concerns, technological limitations, and equipment shortages emerge. Addressing these risks through effective risk management strategies to address both common and local context-specific risks is essential to improving project efficiency and ensuring successful outcomes, particularly in developing countries such as Nepal. Comprehensive mitigation approaches are needed to navigate these challenges, reduce the likelihood of adverse events, and promote timely project delivery.

Authors: Kart Kenan , Toy Erol , Taskin Duygu , Toker Kamil
Published: January 2025

Objective: In the present study, the purpose was to investigate the effectiveness of cooling the vascular trace on pain caused by propofol and rocuronium injection.
Methods: This prospective, single-blind study included 60 patients, aged 18-65 and scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. After vascular access was established with a 20 G intravenous cannula over the hand, cold was applied to the intravenous catheter trace for 1 minute with the help of ice gel packs before propofol and rocuronium injection in Group S (n=30 patients). Propofol and rocuronium were administered without any intervention in Group C (n=30 patients). Propofol pain was evaluated with the McCririck and Hunter Scale, and rocuronium injection pain was evaluated with the 4-point scale.
Results: The demographic data and the propofol and rocuronium doses were similar between the groups. Propofol injection pain was statistically higher in the Cold Group than in the Control Group (p<0.05). Rocuronium injection pain did not differ at statistically significant levels between the groups.
Conclusion: It was concluded that regional cooling before propofol injection increases pain and results in hyperalgesia.
Keywords: Propofol pain, rocuronium pain, cold application, injection pain, regional cooling

The government supports the people of the country and the state in every possible way. Whether they are poor, rich or middle class. Because if any country runs, it is the people of the country, due to whose continuous efforts, this society and country runs. All of us countrymen are dependent on each other. In this chain of self-reliance comes the project of the Government of India, Make in India, an important part of which is Vocal for Local. We are already familiar with these words because its marketing has been done a lot by the government so that the people of the country and the state become aware and can use local products at the local level, so that the country's money remains in the country. With the support of the central government, the state government is making a lot of efforts for Vocal. The state government is also trying with its own power, but it is not possible without the support of the public. In this research paper, the efforts of the government to make Vocal for Local successful have been studied and the problems have also been seen which are becoming an obstacle in making it successful. The scope of the Vocal for Local program effort is very big. In this research, interviews were conducted with industries, artisans and people of Chhattisgarh state.

Authors: Straka Dušan , Ivanišová Eva , Gabríny Lucia , Hleba Lukas
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the production of malt wort enriched with cocoa bean shells, a by-product of chocolate production, and the subsequent evaluation of its technological, physicochemical, and antioxidant properties. Cocoa bean shells contain dietary fiber and phenols, which are useful for producing low-calorie dietary and fiber-rich products. Addition of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, and 20% cocoa bean shell powder was added to milling malt to prepare the malt wort. A control variant without addition was also prepared to compare the results. The color, density, viscosity, antioxidant activity, total polyphenol content, and nitrogen/protein content of the wort were analyzed. The results showed that the malt wort enriched with cocoa bean shell had higher antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content than the control variant without significant impact on protein content. However, deterioration of quality parameters of the wort as density and viscosity was recorded too. The study provides insights into the potential use of cocoa bean shells as a valuable ingredient in the beverages industry.

Published: January 2025

The increasing focus on biodegradable plastic is attributed to their non-hazardous characteristics, distinguishing them from synthetic plastics. The present work focuses on the development of potato and sago starch-based bioplastic film with sorbitol and glycerol as plasticizer glycerol as plasticizers, along with the incorporation of acetic acid and sodium bicarbonate as an antimicrobial agent. In this study, a method was employed involving the mixing of 10 grams each of potato starch and sago starch with varying concentrations of plasticizers (10%, 20%, 30% sorbitol and 20%, 30%, 40% glycerol), along with 10%, 20%, 30% acetic acid and 5%, 10%, 15% sodium bicarbonate relative to the total starch amount. The mixture was then heated with stirring. The resulting products underwent characterization through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), chemical resistance testing, swelling testing, water solubility testing, solubility testing in chemical solvents, biodegradability testing, and mechanical analysis. The outcomes revealed that the highest tensile strength, reaching 5.81 MPa, was achieved with a combination of 6 mL acetic acid, 6g sorbitol, and 8 mL glycerol. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of starch bioplastics by identifying functional groups O–H, C–H, and C=O. Potato and sago starch-based bioplastics were found to degrade effectively when buried in soil. Overall, this study underscores the significant potential of the potato and sago starch mixture in bioplastic production, highlighting its favorable miscibility and compatibility.

Published: January 2025

The Central Highlands is a key agricultural production region of Vietnam with many high-value export agricultural products such as coffee, pepper, rubber, and valuable fruits such as avocado, durian, and passion fruit, and some other agricultural products. However, the commercial value of edible agricultural products for human consumption is limited due to lack of attention to storage and processing conditions. Therefore, applying and investing in advanced preservation and processing techniques suitable for available raw materials in the Central Highlands is a highly feasible activity. Recent studies from international and domestic researchers showed various application could apply, which were presented in this paper including irradiation technology, steam/hot water treatment technology, zeolite technology, cold/cold storage technology combined with controlled atmosphere storage. When these activities are successful, it would reduce post-harvest loss of agricultural products, meeting the demand for food for the whole country and for export. For high nutritional value raw materials, it is necessary to invest more in potential preservation, processing, and utilization of waste by-products to increase diversity, improve quality, and ensure food hygiene and safety value-added products. The utilization of waste from agricultural product also was well-known that suitable for Sustainable Development Goals of United Nations. The quality of input materials and output products must be strictly controlled when applying advanced technology. This activity was controlled, that would ensure the safety of processed products, creating good conditions for the national and global agricultural value chain. Thanks to that, effectively taking advantage of the region's specialties and food processing is no longer a weakness of Central Highlands agricultural products in Vietnam, making an important contribution to the socio-economic development and stability of the region and the whole country.

Authors: Al-Bderee Nadhim Mushtaq Hashim , Al-Janabi Nawar , Salih Hasanain Sahib
Published: January 2025

Infectious diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria are recognized worldwide as a significant and pressing concern for human health. The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have further exacerbated the issue by giving rise to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, rendering infections caused by these strains virtually untreatable. The objective of the study was to assess colicin's capability to prevent the growth of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria. Forty E. coli samples were obtained and subjected to diagnostic and confirmatory tests to verify their purity and ability to produce colicin. Isolates producing colicin were identified using the agar plate diffusion method. Colicin was subsequently isolated, purified, and its approximate molecular weight was determined. The activity of colicin was then assessed on 10 antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria, resulting in different inhibition rates. The gene expression of blaCTX and blaSHV genes was determined using RT-qPCR analysis, revealing significant effects on the gene expression level. The responses of blaCTX and blaSHV genes to colicin treatment were found to be significant. The impact of colicin varied among pathogenic bacterial isolates, with some showing a strong response to colicin treatment, while others did not exhibit significant differences after treatment. In summary, the findings of this study suggested that the colicin protein in E. coli has the potential to be an alternative to traditional antibiotics for addressing antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria.

Proposed Study on the Factors Influencing Electric Vehicle Adoption in the Urban Public Sector of Hunan Province, China
Authors: Binliang Zhao
Published: January 2025

The low rate of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Hunan Province represents a multifaceted issue, stemming from a convergence of technical, economic, and governance-related challenges. Technically, critical obstacles include the limited availability and accessibility of EV charging infrastructure, suboptimal performance of EVs in various operational conditions, and a pronounced lack of technical literacy and knowledge among key stakeholders concerning EV technology and its benefits. Economically, the high upfront cost associated with EV ownership, elevated electricity tariffs for vehicle charging, and the uncertainty regarding the long-term financial returns pose substantial deterrents to adoption. Governance issues further complicate these challenges, as the diffusion of responsibilities across institutional actors, insufficient coordination between national and local governments, and regulatory weaknesses contribute to delays in infrastructure development and maintenance critical for EV adoption. Addressing these barriers requires a strategically coordinated approach, including investments in infrastructure, the introduction of financial incentives, and the strengthening of governance frameworks, all of which are essential to foster wider EV adoption within Hunan's public transportation sector. This studyapplies quantitative methodologies to evaluate the influence of technical and economic determinants on the adoption of EVs in Hunan, China. Through survey data collection and the application of advanced statistical techniques, the study aims to yield objective, reliable, and generalizable insights that can inform both policy formulation and strategic decision-making. Employing a systematic sampling method, the study will target a sample of 459 respondents from government bodies and public institutions, anticipating an adequate response rate to enable robust analysis using Smart PLS.

Análisis crítico del mecanismo rural de garantía como instrumento de política pública: lecciones internacionales
Authors: Esparcia Pérez Javier
Published: January 2025

El mecanismo rural de garantía (MRG) se define como «un intento de garantizar que todas las políticas tengan en cuenta las cuestiones rurales». El planteamiento es aparentemente simple y muy atractivo, pero a la vez resulta tremendamente complejo. En este artículo, además de repasar el marco europeo, se analizan con detalle tres experiencias especialmente relevantes: la de Canadá, que fueron los pioneros (desde 1998 hasta 2013); la de Inglaterra, que es el modelo más robusto y consolidado, aunque con diferentes ajustes a lo largo de su historia (desde el año 2000 hasta la actualidad), y un modelo, el de Irlanda, que está naciendo en estos años, pero que presenta novedades e intenta aplicar las lecciones aprendidas hasta la fecha (desde el año 2021 hasta la actualidad). Estos análisis diferentes nos permiten extraer una serie de lecciones de cara a calibrar adecuadamente, sin expectativas infundadas, los elementos fundamentales de un MRG adecuado que, en todo caso, debe ser flexible y adaptarse a las circunstancias nacionales, regionales y locales.

Panoptic Segmentation for Indoor Environments using MaskDINO: An Experiment on the Impact of Contrast
Authors: Putri Khalisha , - Ika Candradewi
Published: January 2025

Robot perception involves recognizing the surrounding environment, particularly in indoor spaces like kitchens, classrooms, and dining areas. This recognition is crucial for tasks such as object identification. Objects in indoor environments can be categorized into "things," with fixed and countable shapes (e.g., tables, chairs), and "stuff," which lack a fixed shape and cannot be counted (e.g., sky, walls). Object detection and instance segmentation methods excel in identifying "things," with instance segmentation providing more detailed representations than object detection. However, semantic segmentation can identify both "things" and "stuff" but lacks segmentation at the object level. Panoptic segmentation, a fusion of both methods, offers comprehensive object and stuff identification and object-level segmentation. Considerations need to be made regarding the variabilities of room conditions in contrast to implementing panoptic segmentation indoors. High or low contrast in the room potentially reduces the clarity of the shape of an object, thus affecting the segmentation results of that object. We experimented with how contrast varieties impact the panoptic segmentation performance using the MaskDINO model, the first on the panoptic quality (PQ) leaderboard. We then improved the model generalization on the various contrasts by re-optimizing it using a contrast-augmented dataset.
Liquid Lores: Reading Amna Mufti’s Paani Mar Raha Hai (Water is Dying) as Hydrofiction
Authors: Humayun Meerab , Qasmi Noor Ul Qamar
Published: January 2025

Hydrofictions, as theorized by Hannah Boast, examine the cultural, social, ecological, and political perspectives on water and provide a lens through which the element of water in literature can be studied. This research article aims to analyze Amna Mufti’s Paani Mar Raha Hai (Water is Dying) (2018) as a specimen of hydro fiction as it employs a quasi-magical realist narrative to delve into the ramifications of human meddling with the natural course and flows of water. In doing so, mufti’s narrative partakes in concerns of the Anthropocene regarding the misuse, scarcity, spoilage, and misappropriation of water and, above all, the political ecology of its unequal distribution. This paper employs the theoretical framework of hydrofictions proposed by Hannah Boast to argue that in the novel, water emerges as a central metaphor, a symbol of nature's resistance in the face of human greed. In the novel, water is not just a marginal ecological concern but an active force shaping the lives of characters and changing the order of reality. In aligning the mufti's novel with Boast's groundbreaking theorization of water in literature of the Anthropocene, this research contributes to a broader discourse on environmental literature in South Asia, paving the way for further studies in hydrofictions and water narratives in Pakistani literary and sociopolitical contexts.
KONTEKSTUALISASI KONSEP PEMBELAAN TERPAKSA (NOODWEER EXCES) DALAM TINDAK PIDANA PENGANIAYAAN
Authors: Lengkong Lonna Yohanes , Situmeang Tomson , Sianipar Christine Nataniar
Published: January 2025

In the Indonesian Criminal Code (KUHP), there is a concept known as a criminal elimination reason, which allows a person who commits an act that would normally be considered a crime to go unpunished. One such reason is the concept of forgiveness, which eliminates the perpetrator's guilt. This means that even though their actions are proven to violate the law, the perpetrator is not punished due to the elimination of their guilt. An example of such a concept is Forced Defense that exceeds the limit (noodweer excesses). This study focuses on the regulation of excessive forced defense (noodweer exces) according to criminal law in Indonesia, as well as the application of this concept in a specific court decision. The research method used is normative legal research, with a case approach, using various legal materials such as legislation, decisions, expert opinions, legal dictionaries, law journals, and encyclopedias. The study's findings indicate that the defendant has fulfilled all the elements of excessive forced defense (noodweer exces) as regulated in Article 49, Paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code. It was found that the defendant did not intentionally stab the victim with a knife due to being in a state of great shock at the time

This article analyses the nuclear energy policy model relevant to such countries as the United States of America, Russia, France and Japan. Moreover, this article also considers the international organizations, for example the International Atomic Energy Agency, as the supervising body in the field of nuclear energy programs and their security. The process of developing nuclear energy program must be well planned and must incorporate security, safety and environmental factors. Consequently, this nuclear energy policy must address all factors technical, economic, social-political and environmental factors underlying nuclear energy production.In this case, the IAEA and other international organizations contributing to stable and secure nuclear power usage are quite significant to the fulfillment of this requirement.great potential as an energy source that can reduce dependence on the use of fossil energy sources that are increasingly scarce and are often claimed to cause environmental damage. However, the use of nuclear energy also has risks that must be managed properly, such as nuclear accidents and the risk of terrorism. Several countries have developed their nuclear programs with the aim of meeting domestic energy needs and also as a national defense strategy. However, the development of this nuclear energy program also poses challenges in terms of security and safety. This article discusses the nuclear energy policy model that has been implemented in countries such as the United States, Russia, France, and Japan.

Binjai Mayor Regulation Number 9 of 2022 concerning the Protection of Women and Children from Violence is a strategic policy to overcome the high rate of violence against these vulnerable groups. This research aims to analyze the implementation of policies, the challenges faced, and the necessary improvement measures. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. The subjects of the study include government officials, field officers, non-governmental organizations, and victims of violence. The results of the study show that the implementation of the policy has resulted in several achievements, such as the formation of integrated services for victims of violence, increasing public awareness through educational campaigns, and cross-sector cooperation for case handling. However, the implementation of this policy has not run optimally due to various obstacles, such as limited human resources and budgets, low public awareness, patriarchal cultural barriers, and ineffective coordination between institutions. These obstacles have an impact on the slow process of handling cases and the lack of optimal support for victims of violence. Therefore, this study recommends increased budget allocation, professional training, strengthening cross-agency coordination mechanisms, and more intensive public campaigns to change cultural norms that support violence. In conclusion, although these policies have had a positive impact, further efforts are needed to improve their effectiveness. With integrated strategic steps, this policy has the potential to become a stronger instrument in protecting women and children from violence in Binjai City.

This study aims to analyze the legal regulation and law enforcement against the crime of absenteeism without permission (THTI) carried out by TNI soldiers at the Medan Military Court, as well as the relationship between the Military Criminal Code (KUHPM) and the Criminal Code (KUHP). The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical juridical, with legislative, case, and conceptual approaches, as well as data collection through document studies and interviews. The results of the study show that legal arrangements related to THTI have been comprehensively regulated in Article 87 of the Criminal Code, with sanctions aimed at maintaining military discipline. Law enforcement against the THTI case at the Medan Military Court is carried out through the stages of investigation, investigation, prosecution, and execution of the verdict. The relationship between the Criminal Code and the Criminal Code reflects the principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali, where the Criminal Code is prioritized for TNI soldiers. However, there are challenges in determining jurisdiction in cases involving civil society, so coordination between military courts and general courts is needed. This study recommends increasing the socialization of the rule of law to soldiers, strengthening the capacity of military legal officers, and moral development to prevent THTI violations. With this step, it is hoped that the handling of THTI cases can run more effectively and fairly in accordance with the principles of military law and general criminal law.

Célkitűzés: Felmérni a demenciában szenvedő betegek hozzátartozóinak a gondozás következtében megélt megterheltség, magányosság, stressz, szorongás és depresszió szintjét, a gondozás negatív és pozitív hatásait.
Anyag és módszer: Kvantitatív, keresztmetszeti vizsgálat 2024 január és február között. A nem véletlenszerű, kényelmi mintavétel célcsoportja 18 éven felüli személyek, akik részt vesznek demens hozzátartozójuk gondozásában (N=79). Saját szerkesztésű kérdőívet, valamint a gondozási tevékenység során megélt szubjektív tapasztalatok felmérésére vonatkozó kérdőíveket alkalmaztunk (COPE index, Zarit Burden, DASS-21). Eredmények feldolgozásához leíró és matematikai statisztikát használtunk, amihez az Excel 2016-os és az SPSS 25.0 verzióját alkalmaztunk (p≤0,05).
Eredmények: A gondozók 37,5%-a súlyos teherként élte meg a gondozást. Szignifikáns a különbség a demencia enyhe és súlyos stádiuma között a gondozás negatív hatásai tekintetében (p=0,023). Összefüggés van a gondozott személy életkora és a gondozó terheltsége között (p=0,047).
Következtetések: A demencia stádiuma, valamint az életkor befolyásolja a gondozás okozta negatív megélést. A demenciával élő személy mellett a gondozót is be kell vonni az alapellátásba és nyomon követni a fizikai és mentális egészségét.

The search for new natural materials as reinforcement in concrete has increased as an economic and ecological alternative. The purpose of this work is to study the behavior of natural mango (mangifera indica) and palm fibers without treatment, incorporated into concrete to improve its mechanical properties. The physical properties of the coarse (gravel) and fine (sand) aggregates were analyzed, as well as the physical and mechanical characteristics of the fibers used in this research. Concrete mixtures were prepared incorporating 0.2% and 0.4% fiber content with respect to the weight of fine aggregate and a fiber length of 10 and 30 mm respectively. The experimental results showed that all the fibers used in different concentrations decreased the workability and air content of the concrete paste, consequently, the porosity had a downward trend. Short mango fibers at 0.4% concentration and palm fiber at 0.2% increase the compressive strength by 12% compared to the control sample.

Rayap merupakan organisme yang mempunyai peranan krusial dalam ekosistem, baik sebagai pengurai maupun sebagai hama yang dapat merusak tanaman. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku rayap pada ekosistem perkebunan karet dan dampaknya terhadap pengelolaan hama berkelanjutan Artikel ini merupakan Article Review yang membahas perilaku rayap, mencakup pola aktivitas, preferensi makanan, dan interaksi dengan lingkungan, berdasarkan kajian dari berbagai penelitian sebelumnya dalam berbagai kondisi agroekosistem. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas rayap dipengaruhi oleh faktor lingkungan seperti kelembaban tanah, suhu, dan ketersediaan bahan organik. Selain itu, rayap cenderung memilih bahan organik tertentu sebagai sumber makanannya, seperti akar tanaman karet yang melemah akibat kondisi lingkungan yang kurang optimal. Studi ini juga menunjukkan bahwa serangan rayap meningkat di perkebunan yang praktik pengelolaannya tidak mempertimbangkan keseimbangan ekologi, seperti penggunaan bahan kimia yang berlebihan dan pengelolaan tanah yang tidak tepat. Oleh karena itu, pengendalian hama rayap memerlukan pendekatan holistik yang mencakup penggunaan agen hayati, pengelolaan habitat rayap, dan pengendalian berbasis ekologi untuk menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem. Temuan ini memberikan panduan penting bagi pengelola perkebunan dalam mengembangkan strategi pengendalian hama yang ramah lingkungan sekaligus mendukung keberlanjutan produktivitas tanaman karet.
