The surreal and the real: T’ien Hsia (1935–41) and 1930s Shanghai
Authors: Kane Louise
Published: December 2024

This article explores how the Shanghai-based general interest magazine T’ien Hsia (1935–41) engaged with European surrealist movements in the 1930s. The first part of the article explores how the magazine’s literature and artwork responded to surrealist tendencies and ideas and argues that the prevalence of these tendencies and ideas intensified from 1937 in response to the Second Sino-Japanese War and the resultant Japanese colonization of Shanghai. Whilst surrealism offered a vehicle for a variety of responses to warfare – such as escapism, political comment, and black humour – it was also a movement through which the magazine’s transnational editorial team, including Wen Yuanning, a charismatic young writer-diplomat who had graduated from Cambridge, John C. Wu, and the American-born journalist Emily Hahn, could assert their distinct brand of liberal cosmopolitanism. The second part of the article explores how terms like ‘cosmopolitanism’, together with other postcolonial theory-related concepts such as ‘hybridity’ or ‘decoloniality’, help to illustrate the magazine’s turn towards the surreal as symptomatic of both its publication in Shanghai, a semicolonial treaty port that brought together a myriad of national identities and artistic styles, and also of its editors’ aims to provide a sense of cohesiveness and collaboration that transcended national boundaries.
Shanghai and the surreal: Urban renewal as an inception
Authors: Pawlik Karolina
Published: December 2024

Inspired by surrealism as a concept and form of interpretation, the inquiry put forth in this article works to reveal how the dream-like image of contemporary Shanghai channels a deep-rooted propaganda endeavour. Using my observations of contemporary treatments of lilong – with particular focus on the tableaux featured on the outer walls of sealed neighbourhoods, as well as the staged recreation of lane life in a shopping mall – this article proposes a more critical understanding of the urban renewal and approaches deserted lilong neighbourhoods as sites of rejected memories, and subjects of multifaceted visual and material reproductions. Due to the eviction of residents from lilong to make way for a future-facing, homogenous global city with strong Chinese characteristics, what I term as ‘memory struggle’ ensues. As a city growing amid numerous cultural and political forces, shaped by conflict and migration, Shanghai’s urban landscape presents layers of conscious and unconscious, real and unreal; perhaps offering its own form of surrealist artwork. Closer reflection upon various surrealist forms on the surface of today’s Shanghai proposes that, however, the city’s evolutionary mechanism runs contrary to surrealist concepts of unconscious liberation. Rather, the dream is manufactured to (re)create memories and spaces in service of ‘national history’ and ‘modern identity’. Nevertheless, when read through a surrealist lens, the mask of this dream ‘Shanghai’ communicates hidden truths about Chinese dreaming and urban renewal.

Published: December 2024

As águas consumidas em localidades do Território do Sertão Produtivo–BA apresentam características físico-químicas que evidenciam um elevado teor de salinidade. O processo de dessalinização solar destaca-se por seu caráter sustentável, utilização de fonte de energia limpa, baixo custo e aplicabilidade no fornecimento de água potável, especialmente em pequenas comunidades, apesar de sua baixa produção diária. Este estudo propôs a construção de um protótipo de dessalinizador solar para remoção de íons que conferem salinidade a essas águas. Baseado em estudos anteriores, com as devidas adaptações, o protótipo foi elaborado utilizando: caixa de isopor, bandeja de zinco com óxido de alumínio, lona preta, tubos e conexões, cobertura de vidro transparente, garrafa âmbar e mangueira flexível. Os parâmetros físico-químicos cloreto, condutividade elétrica, dureza, potencial hidrogeniônico (pH) e sólidos dissolvidos totais foram determinados quantitativamente por métodos analíticos clássicos. As análises foram realizadas antes e após o processo de dessalinização para comparação posterior. Houve reduções superiores a 95% nos teores dos parâmetros avaliados após a dessalinização solar. A eficiência do protótipo foi avaliada estatisticamente, e comprovou que a remoção da salinidade foi significativa. Os teores das variáveis estudadas foram correlacionados com o padrão de potabilidade da água estabelecido pela legislação. A produção média diária foi de 2,00 ± 0,08 L·m−2·dia−1, com o tempo de dessalinização ocorrendo do nascente ao poente.
Professional ethics of accountants based on the Qur’an: Is it still relevant?
Authors: Trihatmoko Huda , Sari Tyasha Ayu Melynda , Mubaraq Muhammad Raihan
Published: December 2024

This study aims to contribute to the ethics of accountants in accordance with the values in the Qur’an. The accounting profession faces many ethical challenges, especially in terms of behavior. Ethical issues in business and professions, including accounting, continue to occur from time to time, both in Indonesia and in other countries. Indonesia, which is predominantly Muslim, is also not free from ethical violations in the accounting profession. This phenomenon raises discussions about how an accountant should behave. The research method used in this study is a literature review which is carried out by collecting, evaluating, and synthesizing various literatures relevant to the topic being studied. The analysis is carried out using an Islamic ethical theory approach based on the Qur’an and Hadith, where the findings from the literature are compared and evaluated based on Islamic ethical principles. The Indonesian Institute of Accountants (IAI) has formulated a code of ethics for the accounting profession which contains various rules regarding the behavior of accountants. All accountants must comply with the code of ethics. However, because the code of ethics does not have strict sanctions when a violation occurs, its application depends more on the personal awareness of the accountant. When someone who is pursuing a profession only relies on self-awareness, he must pay attention to his conscience. This study attempts to provide an offer on how the Qur’an uses conscience to regulate ethics that can be used in the Indonesian accounting profession.
Safeguarding village funds: Strategies to prevent corruption
Authors: Fauziah Satya , Halim Abdul , Maria Evi
Published: December 2024

The rampant cases of village fund corruption in Malang Regency have resulted in the main purpose of village funds, which should be allocated for village development and community empowerment, not being able to run as expected. This study aims to obtain an overview and understanding related to the preparation and implementation of village fund corruption prevention strategies by the Regional Inspectorate of Malang Regency. In addition, this study also aims to analyze the causal factors for the ongoing occurrence of village fund corruption cases even though the Regional Inspectorate has prepared and implemented corruption prevention strategies. This qualitative study uses a case study approach. The results of this study indicate that there are two types of village fund corruption prevention strategies implemented by the Regional Inspectorate: ex-ante control strategy and ex-post control strategy. The imbalance in the implementation of the two strategies causes the strategies that have been implemented to not be fully able to minimize the factors that cause village fund corruption. These factors include pressure, opportunity, rationalization, integrity, capability, arrogance, and the culture in village head elections. This study is expected to provide input related to the implementation of village fund corruption prevention strategies in Malang Regency.
Beyond Phonetics: Xu Kai’s Conception of Jiajie in the Shuowen Jiezi Xizhuan
Authors: Gustavsson Rickard
Published: December 2024

In the tenth century, the Southern Tang court official Xu Kai 徐鍇 (920–974) wrote the Shuowen jiezi xizhuan 説文解字繫傳, which is the first known commentary on the Shuowen jiezi 説文解字. In his commentary, we find the first elaborate discussion of the liushu 六書 (“six scripts”) categories in Chinese lexicography. From the vantage point of the jiajie 假借 (lit. “borrowing and lending”), this paper explores Xu Kai’s study of the Chinese script. Specifically, it examines how Xu Kai expands upon Xu Shen’s work in the Shuowen by providing a more comprehensive account of the Chinese script beyond its formative stage. Furthermore, this paper argues that Xu Kai’s understanding and handling of the jiajie are closely linked to his notion of the Chinese script as imbued with moral and cosmological meaning. This emphasis on the Chinese script’s philosophical significance – which derives from the close relationship between character structures and natural patterns – leads Xu Kai to highlight the Chinese characters’ semantic aspects and downplay phonetic borrowing. Therefore, Xu Kai draws a sharp distinction between two types of jiajie: one which corresponds to semantic extension, which he associates with “men of wisdom”, and another which corresponds to phonetic borrowing, which he associates with “men of shallow understanding”. Throughout his analysis of individual characters, Xu Kai attempts to show how new meanings can develop in a logical fashion without reliance on phonetic borrowing. At the same time, he demonstrates how borrowing based only on phonetic connections typically leads to confusion and textual distortion.

Rock physics model for deep coal-bed methane reservoir based on equivalent medium theory: A case study of Carboniferous-Permian in Eastern Ordos Basin
Authors: Zhang Bing , Zhang Haifeng , Pan Fuyou
Published: December 2024

The deep coal-bed methane (CBM) resources represented by the Benxi Formation in the Eastern Ordos Basin have enormous potential and have achieved industrial breakthroughs in recent years. Rock physics modeling is a key research topic for predicting deep CBM reservoirs, but the relationship between parameters such as vitrinite reflectance (Ro), coal rock composition, total gas content, ash content, porosity, and elastic parameters is not clear, necessitating further research on rock physics models suitable for deep CBM reservoirs. On the basis of optimizing the skeleton parameters of the coal matrix (ash content, coal rock type), the porosity parameters of CBM reservoirs are obtained by using the nuclear magnetic resonance method. Equivalent calculation of adsorbed gas and total gas content using adsorbed gas as part of the coal matrix. Based on the measured data, calculate the pore fluid, temperature, and pressure data by taking the average or predicting the curve. Considering the geological characteristics and relevant background of deep CBM reservoirs in the Eastern Ordos Basin, a seismic rock physics model of hydrocarbon reservoirs considering the influence of CBM reservoirs was constructed. The specific process involves using coal matrix + adsorbed gas + matrix pores + cleat (or crack) pores as the dry skeleton, filling with water + free gas as the fluid, and using anisotropic rock physics modeling ideas to complete saturated coal rock physics modeling. By comparing the predicted longitudinal and transverse wave curves with actual measurements, the trends of the two are basically consistent, with a relative error of less than 1%, indicating that the model parameters are reasonably selected.
Association Between Early Marriage and Domestic Violence Among Women in Afghanistan: A Quantitative Study from Bamyan Province
Authors: Akbary Mohammad Fazel , Taqaddausi Mohammad Taqi , Fahimi Razia
Published: December 2024

This study explores the factors influencing domestic violence (DV) among women in Bamyan, Afghanistan, with a particular focus on the impact of early marriage. Data were collected through a survey of 356 women aged 15–49 from 24 villages in Bamyan, covering a total population of 15,054. The study employs logistic regression and chi-square tests to analyze the data. Findings indicate a strong association between early marriage and an increased likelihood of experiencing emotional, physical, and sexual violence. Protective factors such as higher education, greater autonomy, and negative attitudes toward wife beating significantly reduce the odds of DV. However, higher education levels among husbands were linked to increased odds of emotional and overall domestic violence, highlighting that education alone may not challenge deep-seated gender norms. The results call for comprehensive interventions to delay marriage, enhance women’s autonomy, and address societal attitudes toward gender and violence, aiming to create a safer and more equitable environment for women in Bamyan.
Climate Change: A Gendered Experience
Authors: Dominelli Lena
Published: December 2024

Climate change focuses on long-term weather patterns, not the daily fluctuations of weather. Concern over the burning of fossil fuels to undermine weather stability by warming the earth’s atmosphere, is longstanding. Eunice Foote first raised the issue in 1853. Other scientists followed – John Tyndall, and Svante Arrhenius, who was awarded the 1908 Nobel prize for chemistry for his work on the climate. These brilliant scientists did not differentiate the experiences of the impacts of climate change on different groups in the population, and thus the gendered experiences of climate events were not examined by them. In this article, I want to consider gender relations or the differentiated impact of climate change on men and women, while acknowledging that these also differ for those with other social attributes, including disabilities. These differences are significant, if under-researched, as is addressing climate change, urgently. How can communities be facilitated by climate change activists and experts to reduce gendered health and livelihood inequalities currently associated with the climate crisis in contemporary societies.

Infrastrukture zračenja
Authors: Budimir Ivana
Published: December 2024

Ovaj se rad temelji na istraživanju u čijem je fokusu bilo istražiti urbani prijepor i naracije straha nastalih od mobilne infrastrukture u zagrebačkom naselju. Pri tome su primijenjeni teorijski postulati antropologije infrastrukture i zagađenja, polazeći od relacijske dimenzije infrastrukture i čovjeka, odnosno društvenih efekata infrastrukture. Budući da su naracije straha ispoljene putem prosvjeda i drugih aktivnosti, ovaj je fenomen sagledan kroz prizmu spontanog ekološkog aktivizma koji je prerastao u oblik digitalnog aktivizma. Umjesto ideje tehnološkog napretka i olakšanja života stanarima tog naselja, mobilna infrastruktura simbolizirala je nekontrolirano zračenje. Tehnologija je percipirana kao oblik nadzora nad ljudima, mehanizam upravljanja, direktnog narušavanja intime te vrsta biokontrole. Metodologiju rada čini medijska etnografija, tj. diskurzivna analiza kiberprostora –medijskih portala i YouTube kanala “Kvart Vrbani”. Rezultati istraživanja provedenog 2023. godine pokazali su da je nerazumijevanje elektromagnetskog zračenja predstavljalo ključni razlog zbog kojeg je pokrenut protest građana, da je nužna bolja javna komunikacija znanstvenika te komunikacija javnih donositelja odluka sa zajednicom prilikom smještanja mobilne infrastrukture u određeno područje, točnije sudjelovanje zajednice u donošenju odluka. Znanstveni doprinos ovog istraživanja očituje se u promatranju infrastrukture kao velikog, nedovoljno istraženog područja pomoću kojeg se može doći do novih uvida o premreženosti znanstveno-tehnoloških imaginarija i kulturnih, političkih te ekonomskih praksi u nekoj zajednici.
Longitudinal Course of Physical and Psychosocial Impairment in Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder and Personality-Disordered Comparison Subjects: Description and Prediction
Authors: Glass Isabel V. , Frankenburg Frances R. , Fitzmaurice Garrett M. , Zanarini Mary C.
Published: December 2024

This study describes the 8-year course of physical and psychosocial impairment in middle-aged patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and other personality disorders (OPD). This study also compares BPD subgroups (recovered vs. nonrecovered) and explores predictors of physical impairment. Patients (N = 282) were assessed as part of the McLean Study of Adult Development. Physical and psychosocial impairments were assessed using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey. Patients with BPD reported significantly more impairment than OPD patients across all domains. Nonrecovered BPD patients reported significantly more impairment than their recovered counterparts. Three medical conditions (osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and obesity) and two symptomatic disorders (mood disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder) were significant multivariate predictors of physical impairment in BPD patients. These results suggest that BPD patients experience serious functioning impairment that persists over time and that physical functioning impairments reported by these patients are strongly related to certain physical and psychiatric health conditions.

Resumo: Neste artigo, destacamos a variabilidade dos sítios arqueológicos associados à ocupação Jê meridional no estado do Paraná. Através da análise de duas áreas, a do baixo Piquiri e a do médio Iguaçu, que apresentam alta densidade de estruturas semi-subterrâneas e montículos, propomos que a emergência localizada de um sistema de assentamento com menor mobilidade, maior densidade demográfica e evidêncais de hierarquias sócio-políticas estaria relacionado à circunscrição territorial dos grupos Jê pelas migrações Tupi-Guarani.Abstract: In this article, we emphasize the variability of archaeological sites associated with a Southern Jê occupation in the state of Paraná. Through the analysis of two areas, the lower Piquiri and the middle Iguaçu rivers, which exhibit high density of semi-subterranean structures and mounds, we propose that the localized emergence of a less mobile settlement system, with higher demographic density, and evidence of socio-political hierarchies, could be related to territorial circumscription of the Jê groups by the Tupi-Guarani migrations.

The nutrient composition and biostimulant properties of seaweed were determined as solid biofertilizer for cultivating tomato seedlings in a greenhouse. Seaweeds (Sargassum wightii, Sargassum longifolium, Laminaria digitata, and Gelidiella acerosa) were collected from rocky areas and turned into a powder, and their nutrient compositions were analyzed. The brown seaweed showed indoleacetic acid (IAA), gibberellic acid (GA3), indole butyric acid (IBA), and abscisic acid (ABA). The amount of IAA ranged from 0.52 to 21.5 μg/mL. Compared with the other brown algae, the G. acerosa extract presented the maximum amount of GA3 (149 μg/mL). The amount of IBA ranged from 1.5 to 15.3 μg/mL, and the ABA level was high in S. wightii (2.5 μg/mL). All algae powders were subjected to biofertilizer preparation and their biostimulant properties were studied. The algal biostimulant improved flower cluster number, fruit number, shoot dry weight, and root dry weight in tomato plants in a greenhouse. Macroalgae fertilizer improved urease, phosphatase, invertase, and catalase activities (p<0.05) and the microbial population in the soil. The results showed positive effects of biostimulants on soil physicochemical and biological properties.
A Case-Report: Risperidone-induced Lactation Nonpuerperal in Bipolar Patient
Authors: Rahajeng Bangunawati , Maziyyah Nurul , Nugrahaningtyas Odilia Danti
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Risperidone is an atypical antipsychotic for acute and chronic schizophrenia and mania. The side effects of risperidone include insomnia, anxiety, headache, and extrapyramidal symptoms. We will report the side effects of lactation nonpuerperal on the use of risperidone. Lactation nonpuerperal is one of the rare side effects of risperidone, with an incidence in adults < 1%.Case: We report the case of a 21-year-old woman. This woman was diagnosed with bipolar affective disorder with major depression and got risperidone, fluoxetine, trihexyphenidyl, and valproic acid for treatment. The first visit was at PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Yogyakarta on April 21, 2022. She had to control it within a month. At the first control on July 1, 2022, her condition improved. She had no complaints. On August 4, 2022, she came to the hospital and told the doctor that she had nonpuerperal lactation. We do a causality analysis that the side-effect is due to risperidone. From Naranjo's analysis, we scored 6 for risperidone (probable). From the Liverpool algorithm, we concluded that risperidone probably caused lactation nonpuerperal.Conclusion: In this case, risperidone probably caused lactation nonpuerperal.

The Tivoid subgroup of Bantoid presents an evolving numeral classifier system with restricted lexical coverage, as attested for a number of various subgroups of the Benue Congo languages of Nigeria and Cameroon (Kießling 2018). Semantically, these classifiers categorise counted items for their shape and texture (e.g., oblong and rigid vs. flat vs. small and globular) as well as for their aggregation type (bundle vs. heap) and partition (half, piece) with an occasional conflation with the notion of counterexpectual scantiness. On the morphosyntactic and etymological level, they can be seen to develop from full-fledged generic nouns denoting concepts such as LEAF, SEED, FRUIT and HEAP used as head nouns in associative constructions. Eventual loss of nominal properties indexes an incipient functional split of the lexical source item and the newly emergent word class of numeral classifier. A comparison of numeral classifier systems in two Tivoid varieties, i.e. Tiv (Angitso 2020) and Ugare (Angitso & Kießling 2021), reveals both substantial overlap and variation. For example, cognate classifiers such as Tiv ítíné (5/6) and Ugare íʧín (5/6), both used for counting longish outgrowths from a base and applicable to items like plantains and hair, allow for a Proto-Tivoid reconstruction, whereas non-cognates such as Tiv ì-ké (9/6) ‘testicle’ vs. Ugare kù-kwà (9/10) ‘palm nut’, both used for counting items such as mangos and cashews, attest to the application of different cognitive models. Based on a comparison of the Tiv classifier system and its Ugare counterpart, the contribution explores the extent to which a numeral classifier system can be reconstructed for the Proto-Tivoid stage.
A club convergence analysis of climate change from a cross-country perspective
Authors: Kaplan Fatih , Koluman Ahmet
Published: December 2024

Does evidence exist of convergence clubs in global climate change vulnerability/readiness? This question is pivotal as it dictates the necessity for policy collaboration in addressing climate change. This study investigates the climate change convergence hypothesis utilizing climate vulnerability index data from 136 countries spanning 1995–2020. Employing club convergence methodology, which clusters countries with similar characteristics while accommodating country heterogeneity, the analysis reveals an initial classification comprising 14 clubs. The study identifies that the first four clubs consist of low- and medium-low-income countries in Africa and South Asia, while the last four clubs comprise high-income countries situated among the USA, Canada, and Europe. These findings show high, low- and middle-income countries' responses to climate change.
The Influence of Experimental Method on English Syllabification
Authors: Eddington David , Cairns Ross J.
Published: December 2024

A number of experimental methods have been used to elicit metalinguistic judgments about syllable division, a good deal of which deals with the syllabification of English words. However the syllabification literature is largely silent on the issue of intratask reliability, that is, whether the tasks all yield the same kinds of intuitions from speakers. Côté and Kharlamov (2011) gathered data from Russian speakers who syllabified nonce words in four different experimental conditions. When the results were compared they observed widely different results in many instances. This suggests that syllabification preferences are highly influenced by the particular task used to elicit them, which in turn casts doubt on the intratask reliability of syllabification studies. In order to test the reliability of different experimental methods in English, syllable divisions of 120 English words were elicited with eight different experimental tasks. In a mixed-effects logistic regression, no main effect of experimental method was found, although the method showed some interaction with stress and the legality of the consonant cluster word-initially and word-finally. Reasons why these results differ from those of Côté and Kharlamov are discussed, some of which are due to methodological flaws in their analysis.
Natural Language Processing methodology for tracking diachronic changes in the 20th century English language

Published: December 2024

Since the 1990s, when its more recent additions were released and diachronic study became possible, the ‘Brown family’ of corpora has been widely used across the linguistic community for various synchronic and diachronic studies. However, the methodology used in these studies did not take advantage of modern, state-of-the art Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, but rather relied on part-of-speech (POS) tagging, often with manual post-editing. Most previous work (e.g. Leech et al., 2009; Davies, 2013) has focused mainly on the linguistic interpretation of the results and on proposing hypotheses about the ways language changes, without giving much consideration to whether the results were statistically sound or not.1 This work aims to fill the aforementioned gaps by proposing a novel, NLP-motivated methodology, which employs a fully automatic feature extraction procedure and conducts a thorough statistical analysis, thus offering a promising basis for future large-scale studies, reducing the amount of human effort required. The choice of statistical tests in this study was evaluated and confirmed to be correct by several procedures which rely on leading machine learning algorithms.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is a significant global staple crop, which is important for its nutritional and economic value. However, the negative effects of drought and chilling stress, induced by climate change, are rapidly increasing threats to compromise its healthy yield. The processes that are affected by chilling stress are reduced growth, impaired photosynthesis, increased susceptibility to disease and pests, late flowering and reduced leaf size. Growth components of plants such as gibberellic acid, calcium, abscisic acid and salicylic acid can control the maize response to chilling stress. Conversely, drought stress, which is brought on by insufficient water availability, interferes with essential functions like the roots' ability to absorb water and nutrients, increases transpiration losses, causes the leaves to roll, and delays senescence.  To improve drought tolerance ability in maize, glycine betaine, potassium and foliar calcium spray are worthwhile. Events that combine freezing and drought present a difficult challenge and reduce maize productivity. Reduced yields of maize not only place food security at risk, but also have severe economic implications on farmers and countries that depend mainly on maize production. Implementing proactive approaches, including as breeding initiatives, precision agriculture, water management, farming systems can present workable ways to minimize the impacts these stresses and defend maize production under prevailing fluctuating environment. This review highlights the most recent findings on the impact of drought and cold weather on corn plants. Potential management strategies for regulating plant tolerance mechanisms to drought and cold stress are also outlined.

Forest structure as an effect of forest dynamics can be used to characterize biophysical processes, biodiversity and ecosystem functions. This study examines the structural components of old-growth forest stands located in the Caspian forests, north of Iran. We measured forest-related attributes in five plots located in the Kheyrud Forest, Mazandaran Province, Iran in 2004 and 2014, respectively. The mean stand density was of 338.6 tree ha-1, the mean volume was of 389.2 m3 ha-1, and the volume of deadwood accounted for 34.1 m3 ha-1. The mean stocking volume per hectare was for beech: 3.95; hornbeam: 7.00; oak: 1.39; maple: 0.60 and other species: 2.55 m3 ha-1. Meanwhile, the mean volume of the felled trees, other cuttings, snags and logs were 31.3, 1.1, 12.6, and 21.5 m3 ha-1, respectively. The mean abundance of gap size on small (<200 m2), intermediate (200-500 m2), and large (>500 m2) classes were calculated as 53.5, 37.9, and 14.1%, respectively. No significant difference in size gap distribution was detected over 10 years, neither any gap size class. The coarse woody debris (CWD) percentage from total deadwood volume varied from 67% to 93%, whereas the fine woody debris (FWD) amount was estimated ranged between 7 and 33%. No significant differences between 2004 and 2014 was found for CWD and FWD. Comparison of spatial pattern results of tree species in 2004 and 2014 implies that there were no significant changes in the mingling index, uniform angle index, or diameter differentiation at species and stand levels, except oak and maple species that showed a significant change in diameter growing. In other words, despite the harvesting of the trees, spatial pattern indices have not changed significantly. These results indicate the performance of ecological forestry programs by foresters in the Hyrcanian Forest stands and their increasing consideration to the ecological principles of the forest. The results are useful in the sense that they characterize the stand structure components which are fundamental to performing silvicultural treatments based on the emulation of natural forest structural dynamics.

The rehabilitation of mine waste dumps is a critical environmental challenge, particularly in areas like Uricani, Romania, where such sites are often characterized by hazardous conditions and poor ecological recovery. This study addresses the need for efficient, low-cost solutions for land reclamation by employing UAV photogrammetry and GIS spatial analysis to assess the potential for afforestation with Robinia pseudoacacia L., a species known for its soil stabilization and ecological benefits. Using UAV technology, high-resolution digital terrain models and orthophotos were generated, with an RMSE of 0.086 m, demonstrating the accuracy and efficiency of this method for large-scale landscape initiatives. GIS spatial analysis was performed to create six key terrain maps and four pedoclimatic factor maps, essential for evaluating the site’s suitability for ecological restoration. The pilot afforestation project, which involved planting R. pseudoacacia, achieved a 75% survival rate after four years, suggesting that the species can thrive under the site’s conditions. The landscape design proposal incorporates recreational spaces aimed at benefiting the local community and attracting tourism, thereby contributing to the area’s economic and cultural revitalization. The interdisciplinary integration of UAV surveying, GIS, and landscape design highlights the cost-effectiveness and interdisciplinary nature of this approach, offering a sustainable model for mine waste dump reclamation and future ecological restoration projects.

Published: December 2024

Lavandula species are one of the most popular aromatic plants in the world and have a high content of high-quality essential oil (EO). Although there are many species in this genus, only lavandin (Lavandula intermedia Emeric ex Loisel.) and lavender (L. angustifolia Mill.)  are highly valued worldwide. The quality and yield of lavandin and lavender depend on genetic factors, environmental conditions and cultivation methods. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to research the effects of the application of biostimulant on the inflorescence yield and the quality of lavandin and lavender. The treatments used in this research consisted of a combination of different species (lavandin and lavender) and biostimulant (applied and unapplied). The research results show that all the research traits significantly depended on the used species and the applied biostimulant. The inflorescence yield, the content of total flavonoids, and the content of EO were higher in the lavandin species (477.3 g plant-1, 17.21 mg CAE g-1, 8.57 mL 100 g-1, respectively) than in the lavender species (180.5 g plant-1, 13.41 mg CAE g-1, and 3.69 mL 100 g-1, respectively). EOs of lavandin and lavender were rich in linalool and linalyl acetate. The use of biostimulators had a positive effect on the inflorescence yield and the content of essential oil. Furthermore, the applied biostimulant increased the linalool content in the essential oil of both researched species, i.e. it positively affected its quality.
Biofortification of black chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) through plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria: enhancing nutritional and bioactive compounds
Authors: YILMAZ Hilal
Published: December 2024

The chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), often called the “poor man’s meat”, is a legume with remarkable nutritional value. Recently, its recognition as a functional food has grown, owing to its ability to improve human nutrition and reduce disease risk. This study explores the biofortification potential of black chickpea seeds through the targeted application of Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, and Rhizobium cicer. By inoculating the seeds, these rhizobacterial treatments aim to naturally enhance the bioactive compound profile by manipulating the plant root systems. The study comprehensively assesses key parameters including total antioxidant activity, protein content, total phenolic content, and macro- and micronutrient composition of bacterial inoculated black chickpeas grown under the ecological conditions of Bolu, Türkiye. Results showed that rhizobacterial inoculation significantly improved all measured traits compared to the control group. B. subtilis treatment increased total antioxidant activity by 10.6% and total phenolic content by 19.5%. Protein content exhibited by approximately 11% across all treatments. R. cicer treatment led to the most pronounced increases in macro- and micronutrients, particularly in calcium (38.5%), potassium (82.7%), magnesium (26.35%), phosphorus (15.23%), iron (155.3%), and zinc (44.21%). These results demonstrate that rhizobacterial treatments can significantly enhance black chickpeas’ biochemical and nutritional quality. Thus, biofortified black chickpeas offer a promising, sustainable strategy for addressing global micronutrient deficiencies and combating hidden hunger, providing a valuable tool for improving food security.
