Pneumonia dominance in under-five mortalities in sub-Saharan Africa- Urgency for more research and capacity improvement
Authors: Owusu Konadu Saabea , Ansong Daniel , Nyarko Obed Ofori , Opoku Gilda , Owusu Sandra Kwarteng , Osei Francis Adjei
Published: October 2019

Pneumonia is the highest cause of death in children under five (5) especially in sub-Saharan Africa. It accounts for 16 % of all deaths in Africa, deadlier than Malaria. Sub-Saharan Africa carries about half of the burden of the world’s under-five deaths. Progress in the fight against pneumonia has slacked behind that of the others. Pneumonia mortality rates in children have fallen by just 50 per cent compared to an 85 per cent decline in measles deaths, and 60 per cent in deaths from malaria, AIDS and tetanus in the last 15 years. The global funding to address the burden of pneumonia in children is low and this is potentially hindering the effort to reduce the mortalities associated with the disease.

Memahami posisi seorang Durkheim, sebenarnya seorang murid yang ragu-ragu terhadap pemikiran Comte. Sebagai seorang murid, Durkheim tetap setia pada ajaran Comte yang merupakan perintis teori positivisme Perancis dan juga sekaligus sebagai pencipta istilah ”sosiologi”. Pengaruh Comte, pada pemikiran-pemikiran Durkheim, di antaranya yang tampak pada pola ”reorganisasi masyarakat” yang dikemukan oleh Comte yang kemudian disempurnakan oleh Durkheim. Durkheim, melihat konsep Comte cenderung bersifat ”spekulatif” dan ”pragmatis”. Durkheim berusaha membenahi kelemahan-kelemahan pemikiran Comte tersebut dengan berusaha tetap menjaga tujuan umum yang dikehendaki oleh Comte.
On philosophy of mind, quantum physics and metaphysics of the uni-multiverse
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: October 2019

Metaphysics, as discipline dealing with the most fundamental aspects of reality, studies the essence of entities, leaving to particular sciences the study of empirical, specific, changeable and unstable aspects. In this sense metaphysics is close to ontology, tackling problems as the existence of God, the being in himself, the immortality of consciousness, the origin and meaning of the universe. Speculative physics pushes its interest to metaphysical questions too, both at atechnical (mathematical) level, and at the level of thought (in relation to philosophy). In recentyears interesting concepts and ideas have been considered and developed, involving the latest unified quantum-relativistic theories and the consequences on reality deriving from them.The search for a meaning of life, one of Anscombe’s themes, finds ferment in the search for meaning about the existence of our universe in itself and as a possible part of a multiverse containing it.The problem of measurement in quantum mechanics appears from the application of themathematical formalism to macroscopic situations and the central position of the observer in this process has produced a deviation towards a metaphysical subjectivism. There are controversial aspects about the role of consciousness in the process of reducing the wave function of quantum mechanics. This narrows the field of validity of some fundamental principles during the interaction between microsystems and macrosystems, with consequent diversification of thedefinition of the ontological state of consciousness and reality. (Local) holism has often been linked to Wittgenstein. From Wittgenstein’s answers to the paradoxes of communication and conceptual relativism, a tension emerges in his vision of linguistic games and in his mental experiments, traditionally interpreted in contrasting ways. This tension can be better understoodthrough some reflections by Wittgenstein on Einstein and his theory of relativity.

Sepanjang kariernya yang panjang, Talcott Parsons adalah kontributor produktif untuk literatur sosiologis. Kepentingan-Nya berkisar jauh dan luas. Dalam kerangka umum teori grand masyarakat, ia berurusan dengan subsistem, peran, urutan normatif, dan interpretasi situasi oleh aktor-aktor sosial. Pada saat-saat yang berbeda, ia menjelajahi masalah sosiologi medis, perkembangan sosial kepribadian, ekstremisme politik, universitas, dan kekeluargaan. Karya-karyanya: Struktur Aksi Sosial (1937), Sistem Sosial (1951), Menuju Teori Umum Aksi (dengan Edward Shils, 1951), Struktur Sosial dan Kepribadian(1964), dan Sistem Modem Societies (1971). Secara keseluruhan, Parsons mengembangkan sistem teoritis berpusat konseptual dalam kesetimbangan, universalities evolusi, dan identifikasi properti yang umum untuk semua masyarakat. Dalam teorinya, evolusi sosial sejajar evolusi biologis, dengan masyarakat modem membuktikan lebih besar "kapasitas adaptif umum" dari yang sebelumnya (1971: 2-3). Dengan demikian, masyarakat tidak kurang suatu sistem daripada rekan-rekan biologis dan alami.
Potential Severe Effects of a Biosphere Collision and Planetary Protection Implications
Authors: Walker Robert
Published: October 2019

Proposed near surface habitats on Mars include liquid brines, and fresh water below clear ice. A Europa lander could also encounter water. Some are calling for planetary protection measures to be relaxed (Fairén et al, 2017), Others say we have time to study Mars before Earth life is irreversibly introduced (Rummel et al, 2017).. We argue that when our spacecraft may encounter habitable liquid water, we should aim to be even more ambitious. Some commercial components operate at 300 °C. Building on suggestions from a Venus rover study (Sauder et al, 2017), and a Europa cryobot (Wilcox, 2017), we can aim for 100% heat sterilization during interplanetary flight. In the best case, colliding biospheres could be mutually beneficial, or occupy distinct niches, but in the worst case Earth life has no defences (Lederberg, 1999b) and survives only in enclosed habitats. By examining suggestions for RNA world cells (Szostack, 2016) we argue that the worst case for Mars is extinction of all native life. An astrobiological survey is an essential previous step to inform decisions about whether and how to land humans on Mars. The technology for heavy lift for humans to Mars would permit it to be completed rapidly.
Filosofia della mente e recenti elaborazioni della fisica contemporanea
Authors: Di Sia Paolo
Published: October 2019

La metafisica studia l’essenza delle entità, lasciando alle scienze particolari lo studio degli aspetti empirici, specifici, mutevoli ed instabili. In questo senso essa è vicina all’ontologia, in relazione a problemi come l’esistenza di Dio, l’essere “in sè”, l’immortalità della coscienza, l’origine e il significato dell’universo. Anche la fisica speculativa spinge il suo interesse verso le questioni metafisiche, a livello tecnico (matematico) e a livello di pensiero (in relazione alla filosofia).Negli ultimi anni la fisica speculativa ha studiato e sviluppato interessanti concetti e idee, che coinvolgono le ultime teorie quantistico-relativistiche unificate. La ricerca di un significato della vita trova fermento nella ricerca di un significato circa l’esistenza del nostro universo, anche come possibile parte di un multiverso che lo contiene.Ci sono aspetti controversi sul ruolo della coscienza nel processo di riduzione della funzione d’onda in meccanica quantistica; ciò restringe il campo di validità di alcuni principi fondamentali durante l’interazione tra microsistemi e macrosistemi, con conseguente diversificazione della definizione dello stato ontologico di coscienza e realtà.Dalle risposte di Wittgenstein ai paradossi della comunicazione e del relativismo concettuale emerge una tensione nella sua visione dei giochi linguistici e nei suoi esperimenti mentali, che può essere meglio compresa attraverso alcune riflessioni di Wittgenstein su Einstein e la sua teoria della relatività.

Authors: Suryaningrum Lusi Herawati , Samsudin Reza
Published: October 2019

Limbah perikanan termasuk bahan organik yang melimpah, kontinyu dan memiliki komposisi nutrien yang memungkinkan untuk menjadikannya sebagai bahan baku pakan ikan. Besarnya limbah yang merupakan buangan ini mencapai sekitar 20% dari volume total hasil perikanan dalam 1 tahun. Kandungan protein yang cukup tinggi menyebabkan bahan ini cepat rusak dan berpotensi menimbulkan pencemaran lingkungan. Teknik silase merupakan salah satu alternatif metode yang bisa diterapkan. Mudah dilakukan, sederhana dan ekonomis adalah keunggulan teknik silase. Proses silase biologi yang melibatkan mikroba bahkan sangat ramah lingkungan. Silase dari hasil samping perikanan memiliki kualitas yang cukup bagus, bahkan beberapa di antaranya memiliki komposisi nutrien yang sangat mirip dengan tepung ikan. Untuk memudahkan penyimpanan dan penanganan, silase tersebut dapat dijadikan tepung silase untuk selanjutnya dijadikan bahan campuran dalam pembuatan pakan ikan. Beberapa penelitian yang telah dilakukan tentang pemanfaatan silase dari limbah perikanan sebagai bahan pakan ikan memberikan hasil yang sangat menarik.
EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE ERA OF ASEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY
Authors: hermansyah
Published: October 2019

One of the strategic efforts in developing competitiveness in the era of Asian Economic Community (AEC) is a strategy to optimize vocational technology education at various levels because of professional education as one of the trusted suppliers of labor in the industrial world. In the business world and industry requires not only qualified workers who have strong technical skills, but also non-technical skills are balanced. These non-technical skills are commonly called employability skills that include communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving, initiative, activity management, self-cultivation, learning ability, technology use, health and safety management, and skills in individual quality improvement. The preparation of vocational students to have technical skills and employability skills stems from the implementation of learning in schools. Measurement of technical skills is usually done through formative and summative evaluation activities, whereas for employability skills measurement is only limited to the less comprehensive affective assessment.

Hybridizing Machine Learning Methods and Finite Mixture Models for Estimating Heterogeneous Treatment Effects in Latent Classes
Authors: Suk Youmi , Kim Jee-Seon , Kang Hyunseung
Published: October 2019

There has been increasing interest in exploring heterogeneous treatment effects using machine learning (ML) methods such as Causal Forests, Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART), and Targeted Maximum Likelihood Estimation (TMLE). However, there is little work on applying these methods to estimate treatment effects in latent classes defined by well-established finite mixture/latent class models. This paper proposes a hybrid method, a combination of finite mixture modeling and ML methods from causal inference to discover effect heterogeneity in latent classes. Our simulation study reveals that hybrid ML methods produced more precise and accurate estimates of treatment effects in latent classes. We also use hybrid ML methods to estimate the differential effects of private lessons across latent classes from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) data.
Neurocognitive predictors of self-reported reward responsivity and approach motivation in depression: a data-driven approach
Authors: Hsu Kean J. , McNamara Molly , Shumake Jason , Stewart Rochelle Ann , Labrada Jocelyn , Alario Alexandra , Gonzalez Guadalupe Del Socorro , Schnyer David M , Beevers Christopher G
Published: October 2019

Background: Individual differences in reward-related processes, such as reward responsivity and approach motivation, appear to play a role in the nature and course of depression. Prior work suggests that cognitive biases for valenced information may contribute to these reward processes. Yet there is little work examining how biased attention, processing, and memory for positively- and negatively-valenced information may be associated with reward-related processes in samples with depression symptoms. Methods: We used a data-driven, machine-learning (elastic net) approach to identify the best predictors of self-reported reward-related processes using multiple tasks of attention, processing, and memory for valenced information measured across behavioral, eye tracking, psychophysiological, and computational modeling approaches (N = 202). Participants were adults (ages 18 - 35) who ranged in depression symptom severity from mild to severe. Results: Models predicted between 5.0-12.2% and 9.7-28.0% of held-out test sample variance in approach motivation and reward responsivity, respectively. Low self-referential processing of positively-valenced information was the most robust, albeit modest, predictor of low approach motivation and reward responsivity. Conclusions: Self-referential processing of positive information is the strongest predictor of reward responsivity and approach motivation in a sample ranging from mild to severe depression symptom severity. Experiments are now needed to clarify the causal relationship between self-referential processing of positively-valenced information and reward processes in depression.
Facial Affect Detection using Transfer Learning: A Comparative Study
Authors: Pandya Harshil , Patel Hardika
Published: October 2019

Facial affect analysis is perceived as one of themost complex and challenging areas for humanisation ofrobots. Several Facial Expression Recognition (FER)systems apply generic machine learning algorithms toextract facial features. This results in an erroneous classification of previously unseen data. This paper improviseson previous research done on emotion detection and im-plements techniques to leverage the potential of Convolu-tional Neural Networks (CNNs) effectively to classify aset of grayscale images of human faces into seven distinctemotion categories. We experiment with some populartransfer learning models to achieve a maximum accuracyof 98% for the seven-class classification task. To eke outfurther precision and reduce the value loss, we incorpo-rate the Squeeze and Excitation Network to theResNet-50 model, which resulted in a validation accuracyof 99.36%.
Bringing the doctoral thesis by published papers to the Social Sciences and the Humanities: a quantitative easing?
Authors: Rigby John , Jones Barbara
Published: October 2019

This paper reflects on alternatives to the traditional form of doctoral thesis which are emerging to reflect a new approach to the valuation and designation of scientific outputs. We examine the changes and consider some implications. We suggest that the adoption of co-citation as underpinning principle for the measurement of knowledge structures has led to re-designation of the value of knowledge and knowledge producers in increasingly quantitative terms. We use notions of ‘institution’ and ‘logic’ to better understand such a change and its implications. Under a new logic that is gradually embedding itself across the higher education sector, the ‘constitutive rules’ concerned with the value of research now prioritize quantification, and tangibility of output, and quality is increasingly equated with citation. Whilst the scientific disciplines have traditionally been closer to this model, albeit with significant national variations, subjects within the Social Sciences and Humanities are now being affected. We present evidence from a small study of the UK higher education sector of university regulation of doctoral degree submission format in two disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences (History and Sociology). Our evidence shows the recent and gradual adoption of a practice, previously more common in scientific disciplines, that allows the doctoral thesis to be constituted by a series of publishable papers, known by a variety of names, the most common being ‘Thesis by Published Papers’, ‘Journal Format Thesis’, ‘Alternative Format Thesis’, and ‘Integrated Thesis’. As the thesis of the Social Sciences and Humanities – itself an important institution in the academic field - begins to reflect a greater emphasis upon quantity of knowledge outputs, a tension emerges with the most central of all scientific institutions, the peer-reviewed journal paper.
ESTUDO DE VIABILIDADE DE APLICAÇÕES FOTOVOLTAICAS EM EDIFÍCIOS NA CIDADE DE SANTOS/SP (FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS FOR PV APPLICATIONS IN COASTAL REGION OF SÃO PAULO )
Authors: Mattar Filipe Brandão , Martins Fernando Ramos
Published: October 2019

Electricity is a strategic issue for the socioeconomic development of a region, and renewable resources have a fundamental role in meeting energy demand in medium and long-term future scenarios. The huge solar energy potential along with the Brazilian territory, together with recent regulations for decentralized generation in the energy market, the PV generation is becoming more and more attractive. This paper presents the economic viability analysis for two PV systems using Payback Time (PB), Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net Present Value (NPV). The first PV system was designed to meet the partial energy demand of the multifamily building and connected to the distribution grid. The second system is an isolated PV system providing electricity for a shopping mall. The results have demonstrated the feasibility of PV generation for the multifamily building but not for commercial buildings due to low energy costs in the free energy market. The Brazilian Government should increase financial incentives for solar generation in large commercial buildings where energy demand presents and daily cycle similar to the solar energy resource, like large shopping malls.
Appropriations, Creative Subversions, and Conversations: The Indianer in Contemporary Germany and the Double Entendre of Re-enactment
Authors: Perry Nicole
Published: October 2019

This article will contextualize Indianthusiasm in a contemporary setting. While the German fascination with Indigenous cultures is hardly new, Indigenous engagement with and critique of the Winnetou phenomenon in the past ten years has produced a space of indictment and, more important, a space for conversation. Writers and artists such as Drew Hayden Taylor, Bear Witness from A Tribe Called Red, and others have engaged with the Indianer image as they employ Gerald Vizenor’s concept of Native survivance. In dealing with a simulacrum of Indigeneity, these artists engage with a myth with decidedly little Indigenous content, from a nation known primarily as armchair colonialists.

Political discourse and ideology
Authors: Van Dijk Teun A
Published: October 2019

This paper analyses the influence of ideologies on political discourse, in terms not only of content but also of form and interaction, defining ideology in the broadest sense of basic beliefs shared by members of a group and understanding political discourse to be a class of genres defined by a social domain, namely that of politics. The ways in which ideologically based beliefs are exhibited in discourse and discursive evidence in the interplay of several ideologies are analysed in the form of a debate on asylum seekers in the British House of Commons. Parliamentary debates are particularly revealing for these purposes because their text and content exhibit the social cognitions of political parties and their members. An analysis of this particular debate shows how political discourse in general, and parliamentary debates in particular, are replete with ideological expressions and rhetorical tropes at all levels.
The EU, the member states and the future of public broadcasting
Authors: Holtz- Bacha Christina
Published: October 2019

Public service broadcasting (PSB) has come under considerable pressure by the EU Commission. This is due to the fact that the Commission treats broadcasting as a service as any other and therefore applies the competition regulation of the EC Treaty to broadcasting stations, independent of their commercial interests or public service mission. Against this background, the financing of public broadcasting is regarded as being state aids that are only allowed under special circumstances. In recent years, several commercial broadcasters from different member states filed complaints and claimed distortion of competition through state aids for public service broadcasting. At first, the Commission remained reluctant but has meanwhile adopting an active role, finally pushing aside the member states although, according to the Amsterdam Protocol, they have the competence to define the remit of PSB and to decide about its funding. This battle is about to change the broadcasting systems of the European countries where PSB has been a defining feature for more than 50.

Gamma-Reduction in Type Theory of Acyclic Recursion
Authors: Loukanova Roussanka
Published: October 2019

In this article, we introduce Moschovakis higher-order type theory of acyclic recursion [Formula: see text]. We present the potentials of [Formula: see text] for incorporating different reduction systems in [Formula: see text], with corresponding reduction calculi. At first, we introduce the original reduction calculus of [Formula: see text], which reduces [Formula: see text]-terms to their canonical forms. This reduction calculus determines the relation of referential, i.e., algorithmic, synonymy between [Formula: see text]-terms with respect to a chosen semantic structure. Our contribution is the definition of a ( γ) rule and extending the reduction calculus of [Formula: see text] and its referential synonymy to γ-reduction and γ-synonymy, respectively. The γ-reduction is very useful for simplification of terms in canonical forms, by reducing subterms having superfluous λ-abstraction and corresponding functional applications. Typically, such extra λ abstractions can be introduced by the λ-rule of the reduction calculus of [Formula: see text].
A Cross-Sectional Study of Blood Ethylmercury Levels and Cognitive Decline Among Older Adults and the Elderly in the United States
Authors: Geier David A. , Kern Janet K. , Homme Kristin G. , Geier Mark R.
Published: October 2019

Cognitive health is an emerging public health concern for the aging American population. Mercury (Hg) is a toxic element that can cause nervous system damage. This hypothesis-testing study evaluated the relationship between blood ethyl-Hg levels and cognitive decline in an older adult and elderly American population. A total of 1,821,663 weighted-persons between 60–80 years old with detectable blood ethyl-Hg levels within the 2011–2012 National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey were examined. Those persons with blood ethyl-Hg levels greater than the median were deemed the higher ethyl-Hg exposure group and those with ethyl-Hg levels less than the median were deemed the lower ethyl-Hg exposure group. Three tests were utilized to measure cognitive function: 1) Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease – Word List Learning (CERAD W-L) delayed recall test, 2) animal fluency test, and 3) Digit Symbol Substitution Test. Each cognitive test score was categorized as higher for those with scores greater than the median and lower for those with scores less than the median. Survey logistic regression modeling with covariates was used to analyze the data for the relationship between blood ethyl-Hg levels and cognitive function scores. Significantly increased risks for lower animal fluency test (odds ratio (OR) = 13.652, p = 0.0029) and CERAD W-L delayed recall test (OR = 6.401, p = 0.0433) scores were observed among the higher ethyl-Hg exposure group as compared to the lower ethyl-Hg exposure group. This study supports the hypothesis that increased ethyl-Hg exposure is associated with significant cognitive decline in older adult and elderly Americans.

Sentiment evaluation is one of the current research subjects in the subject of textual content mining. Opinions and sentiments mining from natural language are very difficult task. Sentiment analysis is the best solution. This gives important information for decision making in various domains. Various sentiment detection methods are available which affect the quality of result. In this project we are finding the sentiments of people related to the services of E-shopping websites. The sentiments include reviews, ratings and emoticons. The main goal is to recommend the products to users which are posted in E-shopping website and analyzing which one is the best. For this we use hybrid learning algorithm which analyze various feedbacks related to the services. Text mining algorithm is used to find scores of each word. Then sentiments are classified as negative, positive and neutral. It has been observed that the pre-processing of the data is greatly affecting the quality of detected sentiments. Finally analysis takes place based on classification. To find out fake review in the website can be analyzed. This device will discover fake critiques made via posting fake remarks about a product via figuring out the MAC deal with in conjunction with assessment posting styles. User will login to the device using his consumer identification and password and could view various merchandise and will give assessment approximately the product. To discover the evaluation is fake or authentic, system will find out the MAC address of the consumer if the machine observes fake assessment send by way of the identical MAC Address many a times it'll inform the admin to do away with that overview from the device.

Abstract

The organization of environmental health of the hospital is carried out according to the environmental health requirements of the hospital. One of the supporting factors for hospitals in restoring patient health is the provision of linen. Regional General Hospital Dr. Adnaan WD Payakumbuh is a type C regional hospital. Linen infectious and non-infectious patients used ex-patients or former health service activities are produced every day and no sorting of infectious and non-infectious linen is not done. Washing linen uses 1 washing machine to wash all types of linen, does not have a linen carriage storage room, coordination of linen staff with other parts, especially in repairing facilities and equipment is not optimal, linen managers still do not use personal protective equipment (PPE). This study aims to determine the description of linen management at Adnaan WD Payakumbuh Hospital. The research is descriptive with an observation approach. The research instrument used a checklist and measurements referring to the Kepmenkes RI No 1204 in 2004. The data were analyzed descriptively in the form of tables and percentages. The results of the 80% linen washout, 100% linen collection stage, 100% transportation stage, 100% acceptance stage, 100% washing stage, 80% storage stage, and 100% distribution stage fulfilled the requirements.

Physicochemical Properties, Nutritional and Sensory Quality of “Batuan” [Garcinia binucao (Blco.) Choisy] Fruits
Authors: Quevedo Elizabeth , Laurena Antonio , Merca Florinia
Published: October 2019

The physicochemical properties and nutritional profile of the different parts
and stages of maturity of “batuan” [ (Blco.) Choisy] fruits in the
Visayas State University (VSU) were determined using standard analytical
methods to validate their use as a safe food ingredient. Sensory evaluation on the
acceptability of the dry, powdered “batuan” fruits as souring agent in fish stew dish
was also conducted.
Proximate composition, physicochemical properties and nutrient composition
between parts and fruit maturity varied to some level. The pulp which constituted
the biggest part of the fruit and the immature ones contained high moisture and
acidity that decreased as the fruit matured. Ash, protein, sugar, starch, total
carbohydrates, total soluble solids, and sodium content were low in “batuan” fruits.
The seeds contained high crude fat, crude protein, and tannin. “Batuan” fruits were
also found high in vitamin C, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron,
and trace levels of zinc, copper and manganese. Crude fiber and vitamin A were
concentrated in the peel, pulp and ripe fruit. Based on the 9-point Hedonic scale for
sensory evaluation, the fresh and the dry, powdered “batuan” fruits were
comparable to one another in terms of color, mouth feel, taste and general
acceptability as souring agent for fish stew.
Results showed that “batuan” fruits have good physicochemical properties
and nutrient contents which are comparable or even higher than some conventional
fruits used as souring agents. The powdered “batuan” fruit is a potential ready-touse souring agent for domestic consumption, food industry, and other applications.
Comparative Carbon Storage of Lanzones (Lansium domesticum) – fruit tree and Falcata (Paraserianthes falcataria) – forest tree based Agroforestry Systems
Authors: Malayao Samuel , Mendoza Teodoro
Published: October 2019

Two agroforestry systems, a fruit tree-based with lanzones (Lansium domesticum) as dominant fruit tree and a forest tree-based with falcata (Paraserianthes falcataria) as dominant wood tree, were studied to compare their total carbon stocks in the above ground biomass (upperstorey and understorey), floor litters and soil and to determine any differences of soil organic carbon(SOC) in three soil depths: 0-30, 31-60 and 61-100 cm. Each site representing one agroforestry systems was grouped according to vegetation stand. For each vegetation stand, representative samples were taken from upper storey and under storey above ground biomass, floor litters and soil. Samples were analyzed for carbon content at International Rice Research Institute’s (IRRI) Analytical Service Laboratories(ASL), Los Baños, Laguna using Dumas Combustion Method.
The SOC in the soil depths (0-30, 31-60 and 61-100 cm) did not vary significantly in the two agroforestry systems. The above ground upperstorey biomass had the most carbon followed by the carbon stored in the soil, then, above ground understorey biomass and lastly, floor litters. The above ground upperstorey biomass of the fruit tree-based agroforestry system had slightly higher carbon stock at 38.92 tC ha-1 compared with the forest tree-based agroforestry system at 34.66 tC ha-1 due to the lanzones fruit tress. The 4 – year old falcata-based agroforestry systems had higher annual C sequestration of 14 tC ha-1 yr-1 while the lanzones-based agroforestry system had 1.8 tC ha-1 yr-1. Nevertheless, whatever is the main tree component, agroforestry performs ecological services as in carbon sequestration and at the same time provides financial benefits.

American Process Inc.’s patented AVAP® technology offers commercial-scale production of nanocellulose with flexibility in final product morphology and surface properties (hydrophilic or hydrophobic) that can service the wide variety of emerging end-use market segments. The novel hydrophobic lignin-coated variety of AVAP nanocellulose can be incorporated into plastics. This achievement overcomes a well-known barrier to commercial utilization of nanocellulose. Furthermore, AVAP nanocellulose is anticipated to be cost competitive with petroleum based polymers as well as polymer additives. This breakthrough technology can help achieve the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s future global market size estimate for nanocellulose.
