Indonesia is a maritime country which has abundant potential for natural aquatic resources, one of which is fish which is used for human consumption, however the amount of fish consumption in Indonesia is very low. The low consumption of fish in Indonesia is caused by a lack of awareness among the public about the nutrition and benefits of fish, especially for children. In fact, fish consumption is believed to be able to complete nutritional needs and help the development and growth of children's brains and bodies, especially in improving intelligence and health for elementary school students. This is because fish contains nutrients such as protein, fatty acids, especially omega-3, vitamins and minerals. So, to increase fish consumption among children, especially elementary school students, it is necessary to take an approach by introducing delicious processed fish products to children so that children's consumption of fish increases.

INTERELASI ISLAM DAN BUDAYA: STUDI TRADISI UPAH-UPAH DI ASAHAN, SUMATERA UTARA
Authors: Lubis Ihza Nurfadli Ramadhan
Published: September 2024

Upah-upah merupakan tradisi yang berkembang di pesisir Timur Sumatera Utara. Tradisi ini berfungsi sebagai alat untuk mengekspresikan diri dalam perayaan-perayaan yang ada di masyarakat Melayu, khususnya di Asahan, Sumatera Utara. Pada hakikatnya, tradisi ini tidak hanya berasal dari pesisir yang notabene beragama Islam tetapi juga dilaksanakan oleh masyarakat pegunungan Sumatera Utara yang beragama non-Islam. Awal kemunculan tradisi ini sama halnya dengan tradisi yang berkembang di masyarakat pada umumnya yakni tidak jauh dari hal-hal “mistis dan gaib”. Tetapi seiring perkembangan zaman, pemahaman agama masyarakat Melayu terhadap Islam yang terus berevolusi memunculkan keinginan untuk mengubah praktik-praktik yang menyimpang dari ajaran Islam dengan membuang bagian mistik dan melaksanakan bagian yang tidak bertentangan dengan syariat. Adapun permasalahan yang hendak diteliti, bagaimana asal-usul tradisi upah-upah di Asahan, bagaimana proses pelaksanaan tradisi Upah-upah, apa saja nilai-nilai Islam yang terkandung dalam tradisi Upah-upah. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif-kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan serta menganalisis kegiatan dan nilai-nilai Islam pada tradisi Upah-upah di Asahan. Peneliti menggunaka pendekatan Antropologi sosial sebagai ilmu bantu. Adapun hasil penelitian menemukan fakta bahwa tradisi Upah-upah berperan dalam mengisi keragaman dalam kehidupan masyarakat Melayu Asahan dan memiliki nilai/unsur Islam tanpa harus meninggalkan warna adatnya (Melayu). Demikian penelitian ini masih perlu pendalaman lebih lanjut untuk menganalisis pandangan masyrakat terhadap tradisi Upah-upah.

Gene regulatory network models for modules of molecular mechanism of the control of the photo-morphogenesis in plants
Authors: Desta Lamore
Published: September 2024

Plants are dynamic systems able to continuously adapt to changing environmental conditions, showing a remarkable phenotypic plasticity as from transition from germination to vegetative growth then to reproductive development. In this review, effect of light, molecular mechanisms photo-morphogenesis and gene regulatory networks were reviewed. This review provides insight into regulatory mechanisms for phytochrome-mediated light signaling pathway; and the roles of phytochromes and their downstream signaling components, molecular mechanisms light-perceiving photoreceptors and other positive and negative regulators of light signaling as well as interactions between these components during plant growth and development. Light is one of the most important factors regulating plant growth and development (photo-morphogenesis). Photomorphogenesis and skotomorphogenesis are two key events that control plant development, from seed germination to flowering and senescence. A group of wavelength-specific photoreceptors, E3 ubiquitin ligases, and various transcription factors work together to regulate these two critical processes. Phytochromes are the main photoreceptors in plants for perceiving red/far-red light and transducing the light signals to downstream factors that regulate the gene expression network for photomorphogenic development.

Published: September 2024

This review delves into the development and implementation of cost control strategies in oil and gas engineering projects, an area critical for maintaining project viability and profitability amidst fluctuating market conditions. Effective cost control is essential in the oil and gas sector, where projects are often capital-intensive and subject to economic and operational uncertainties. This review examines various cost control methodologies and their application throughout the project lifecycle, from initial planning and budgeting to execution and closure. The paper highlights key cost control strategies, including detailed project cost estimation, budget forecasting, and variance analysis. It discusses the use of advanced project management tools and technologies, such as software for real-time cost tracking and predictive analytics, which enhance decision-making and financial oversight. The review also covers the importance of risk management practices in identifying and mitigating potential cost overruns, emphasizing the role of contingency planning and risk assessment in maintaining financial control.

Biogas from anaerobic digestion of organic substance has become the available replacement for the fossil fuel. This research was carried out to investigate the effect of certain substances added during slurry preparation to enhance biogas formation. The biodigester was locally fabricated using plastic container of 25liter capacity. The slurry was prepared by adding Calcium Sulphate, Chopped plantain leaf, and pretreated substrate. After 15 days of anaerobic fermentation, the slurry with CaSO4 gave more biogas of 0.403kg followed by the pretreated which gave 0.270kg. The one with plantain leaf gave the least biogas. This is as a result of inhibition of enzyme activity by certain chemical substance from the leaf. Also, the amount of Calcium sulphate to be added should not exceed 200g to 1kg of substrate to be used for slurry preparation.

Background: Students’ academic self-efficacy and academic stress significantly affected their academic achievement and health. Students with low sense of academic self-efficacy choose to avoid challenges and academic stress, thereby resorting to substance use as the best way to relieve academic stress. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of substance use, academic self-efficacy and academic stress of students, Compare the academic self-efficacy and academic stress between substance and non-substance user undergraduates of Nnamdi Azikiwe University. Methods: The study is a cross-sectional survey research design that occured between July 1 2023, and October 2, 2023, at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. Consecutive sampling technique was used to select 410 respondents from the four campuses. Data were gathered from the undergraduate students. The statistcal analysis was conducted using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25. Results: Results showed that prevalence of substance use was (71.0%). Alcohol (54.3%) was the most commonly used substance. Students’ self-efficacy and academic stress significantly affected their substance use respectively. The variables (gender, age, parent presence statue, self-efficacy and academic stress) contributed greatly in explaining students’ substance use. Conclusion: Students with high sense of academic self-eﬃcacy show more stability in facing undesirable and academic stressful events and can more effectively solve problems, while students with low sense of academic self-efficacy choose to avoid challenges and academic stress, thereby resorting to substance use.

This study assessed the microbial evaluation of hydrocolloids from fresh and peel of tuber crops flour and sensory attributes of ice cream produced from it. White flesh sweet potato and cocoyam were purchased from Ubani market Umuahia, trifoliate yam was purchased from Orie-Ntigha in Isi-alaNgwa North of Abia State and aerial yam from the Abakiliki main market in Ebonyi State. Ice cream ingredients were purchased from Ubani Market in Umuahia of Abia State. Each of the tuber samples (Sweet potato, yams and cocoyam) were washed, peeled and chopped into smaller units of about 5-6 cm long. The peels and flesh were divided into three (3) portions each and were dried to constant weight using sun, air and oven drying methods respectively to obtain chips, followed by grinding into flour samples separately. The flour samples obtained were defatted. The extracts produced were purified and kept in plastic bag and stored in air-tight plastic container prior to analysis. Bacterial and fungal loads in the samples were determined using standard methods. The sensory evaluation of homemade vanilla ice cream was determined based on the method of Iwe (2010). Results obtained showed that the total bacterial count for sun dried and air dried samples ranged from 3.12x 103 to 3.69 x 103 CFU/g, while fungi count ranged from 4.21 x 103 to 4.68 x 103 CFU/g. Four species of bacteria (Micrococcus, E. coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus) were identified in the sun-dried and air-dried samples, while 2 species of fungi (yeast and mould) were also detected in the sun-dried and air-dried samples. The oven-dried samples had no microbial growth. Sensory evaluation results showed that ice cream sample produced with oven dried white flesh sweet potato peel hydrocolloids was most preferred.
Impact of Account, Transparency, and Accountability Indicators on Economic Growth: Evidence from South Asian Countries
Authors: Rahman A. K. M. Ashiqur
Published: September 2024

This study examines the intricate relationships between Account, Transparency, and Accountability indicators and GDP growth across a panel of countries, focusing on the Current Account Balance (CAB), Net Capital Account (NCA), Net Financial Account (NFA), CPIA Transparency Rating, and Voice and Accountability (VA). Drawing on economic theory and empirical analysis, we investigate how these variables influence Economic (GDP) growth dynamics. Theoretical underpinnings suggest that positive CAB reflects trade surpluses, contributing positively to GDP through increased economic activity, while NCA inflows stimulate long-term productivity gains. Conversely, negative NFA indicates potential adverse effects on GDP from capital outflows. Empirical findings using fixed effects, random effects, and Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) regression reveal significant associations: positive CAB and NCA correlate with higher GDP growth, whereas NFA shows a negative impact. CPIA and VA, while important for governance, do not directly affect GDP growth in this context. This research contributes by providing nuanced insights into the drivers of economic growth, informing policy strategies for sustainable development and institutional enhancement.

An automatic recommendation system for learning materials in e-learning addresses the challenge of selecting appropriate materials amid information overload and varying self-directed learning (SDL) skills. Such systems can enhance learning by providing personalized recommendations. In Extensive Reading (ER) for English as a Foreign Language (EFL), recommending materials is crucial due to the paradox that learners with low SDL skills struggle to select suitable ER resources, despite ER’s potential to improve SDL. Additionally, determining the difficulty level of ER materials and assessing learners’ progress remains challenging. The system must also explain its recommendations to foster motivation and trust. This study proposes a mechanism to estimate the difficulty of ER materials, adapted to learner preferences, using information retrieval techniques, and an explainable recommendation system for English materials. An experiment was conducted with 240 Japanese junior high school students in an ER program to assess the accuracy of difficulty estimation and identify learner characteristics receptive to the recommendations. While the recommendations did not significantly impact learners’ English skills or motivation, they were positively received. A strong relationship was found between the use and acceptance of recommendations and learners’ motivation. The study suggests that although the system did not increase overall motivation, it has potential to further enhance the motivation of naturally motivated learners.
