La experiencia traumática en la prosa de Peter Handke. De Wunschloses Unglück a Die Wiederholung
Authors: Salaris Banegas Francisco
Published: November 2023

El presente artículo propone un recorrido por dos novelas de Peter Handke (Wunschloses Unglück y Die Wiederholung) a partir del análisis de las formas en que aparece la experiencia traumática. Ambas obras poseen muchos puntos de contacto y pueden leerse en continuidad, aunque, de acuerdo con la hipótesis, Die Wiederholung propone un camino de redención del trauma que conducirá también a una nueva forma de entender la narración y la práctica escritural en general. Este eje de lectura posibilitará un acercamiento a la evolución estética de Handke, que se concretiza alrededor de los años 80 y que adquiere –de acuerdo a las conceptualizaciones de la crítica y del propio autor– caracteres épicos.
La experiencia bélica en Sin novedad en el frente: deshumanización y (re)humanización de la muerte
Authors: López Fernández Daniel
Published: November 2023

La Primera Guerra Mundial evidenció los horrores de una matanza industrializada en la que los soldados “proletarizados” eran meras figuras frágiles y fácilmente reemplazables. La muerte anónima en masa experimentada en el frente inició un giro antropológico en la concepción del valor humano. La célebre novela de Erich Maria Remarque Sin novedad en el frente mostró con crudeza la deshumanización del soldado en el conflicto bélico, tan solo paliada por el sentimiento de camaradería. No obstante, la obra testifica también como el “rostro del Otro”, según la formulación de Emmanuel Levinas, puede conducir asimismo a una reconsideración ética de la vida humana en el contexto bélico.
El estilo vertical en Franz Kafka
Authors: Martín Arnedo Santiago
Published: November 2023

El reproche de que a Kafka la faltaría sentido narrativo, en la medida en que la acción de sus novelas o relatos nunca parece avanzar hacia una meta o resolución de la trama, no entraña necesariamente un carácter negativo. Que prácticamente toda su producción se componga de narraciones breves o de novelas inacabadas parece corroborar esa incapacidad para sostener un argumento. Esta circunstancia, asumida por él mismo, se debe en parte a características personales: un excesivo perfeccionismo o la inseguridad respecto a la propia valía, que condujo, como es bien sabido, al ocultamiento de su labor como escritor. Pero podemos valorar esto en sentido opuesto. Lo que yo denomino “estilo vertical” tiene que ver con toda una concepción del arte, incluso de la realidad, que redime el momento como autosuficiente, cual si fuera un fractal que refleja el todo en diferentes escalas. Con la inquietante sospecha de que no exista ese todo.

Sąd Ostateczny Jana Memlinga w Muzeum Pomorskim w Gdańsku
Authors: Przybyszewski Bolesław
Published: November 2023

Pierwsza wiadomość o autorstwie Sądu Ostatecznego pozyskanego w roku 1473 przez Gdańsk znajduje się w Dopisku do Kroniki gdańskiej z 2 połowy XVI w. Pisarz poświadcza, że tryptyk jest sygnowany imieniem „Jakub” i opatrzony datą 1467 roku. Od drugiej połowy XVII wieku jest przypisywany Van Eyckowi, przy czym różnie wymieniano jego imiona, między innymi pojawia się i imię „Jakub”. Po wielu innych próbach wskazania artysty dopiero w r. 1943 H. G. Hotho, wydając historię malarstwa niemieckiego i niderlandzkiego, na podstawie dokładnej analizy Sądu, rzucił w drugim tomie swego dzieła nazwisko malarza flamandzkiego Jana Memlinga jako autora tryptyku. Brak jest jakiegokolwiek zapisu archiwalnego o wykonawcy Sądu Ostatecznego, mimo że sprawa jego rabunku w r. 1473 przez Pawła Beneke poruszała szeroko umysły. W celu ustalenia autora Sądu trzeba się posłużyć drogą analizy stylistycznej najważniejszych i pewnych dzieł Memlinga i stwierdzenia pokrewieństwa między jego dziełami a tryptykiem gdańskim.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS, is characterized by a clinical condition in which the body's defenses suffer a gradual depletion, making it susceptible to a wide variety of infections. Among these, neurotoxoplasmosis is a characteristic opportunistic infection caused by Toxoplasma gondii. This infection generates numerous neurological deficits that can regress if early diagnosis and intervention are carried out. However, underdiagnosis of these cases due to incorrect management or inaccurate diagnosis leads to damaging and permanent results due to the expansive nature of the mass, which affects a wide range of organic functions. It is then associated with infection by Pneumocystis jirovecii, also characteristic of immunodeficient patients, demonstrating a synergism between the mechanisms that facilitate the infectious process. Because of the seriousness of these infections and their association, a clinical picture like this must be well visualized.
Enhancing supply chain resilience: The role of SC-ambidexterity and SC-agility
Authors: Khan Muhammad Haris
Published: November 2023

This research aims to explore the significance of supply chain (SC) resilience by integrating SC-Resilience and SC-Ambidexterity concepts. SC-Ambidexterity refers to the simultaneous application of SC-Adaptability and SC-Alignment capabilities within the supply chain. In line with the dynamic capabilities view (DCV) of the firm, this research adopts a quantitative approach to investigate the relationship between variables in the context of manufacturing and production companies in Pakistan, specifically in Karachi. The results of this case study have revealed a strong positive impact of SC-Ambidexterity on SC-Resilience, confirming the significance of adopting concurrent and synchronized supply chain capabilities. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that SC-Agility plays a crucial role as a mediator in the relationship between SC-Ambidexterity and SC-Resilience. The findings suggest that organizations that proactively invest in developing both ambidextrous capabilities and agility are more likely to achieve a higher level of supply chain resilience, enabling them to effectively navigate turbulent business environments.
A comparative study of bottled and tap water in Abbottabad city: Implications for stakeholders
Authors: Ahmad Saba , Khan Abdullah , Baig Zenab Tariq
Published: November 2023

Access to safe drinking water is essential for human health. In Abbottabad, tap and bore water are commonly used, but there has been a recent increase in bottled water consumption. This study aimed to compare tap and bottled water quality in Jinnahabad, Abbottabad. Physicochemical and bacteriological analysis was conducted on water samples collected from various sources. Surveys and interviews were also conducted to assess consumer perceptions and costs. The study found that, on average, bottled water had better physicochemical quality, although both alternatives met WHO limits. Tap water had higher levels of E. coli due to a weak sanitation system. Interestingly, despite perceiving bottled water as safer, most respondents still consumed tap water daily. Shopkeepers reported higher bottled water purchases for travel but lower daily consumption. Tap water was the main source, according to the Cantonment Board Abbottabad, though resources were insufficient. Doctors confirmed tap water-related diseases. The study suggests further research into consumer behavior and recommends monitoring measures, staff evaluations, and penalties to reduce costs and waste.
The relationship between regulatory focus and innovative performance of SMEs in Ghana: The role of entrepreneurial resilience, orientation and learning
Authors: Tumaku John
Published: November 2023

Most small and medium scale enterprises in Ghana neglect very critical performance indicators in their bossiness. As a result most SMEs do not survive till their fifth anniversary. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between prevention focus, promotion focus, resilience, and SME performance in Ghana. Furthermore, we investigated the moderation effect of entrepreneurial learning and Entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and SME performance in Ghana. Our results show that both promotion- and prevention-focused increase entrepreneurial resilience and SME performance significantly. This is an indication that there is a strong positive correlation between entrepreneurial resilience and success in both the individual and firm levels. This inference can therefore assist policy makers, politicians and various industry players in designing training programs on how to improve the resilience of SME owners in Ghana. Statistically our analysis shows that prevention focus (PreV) has a positive effect on entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) (β = 0.250; p<0.001), and promotion focus (PreM) has a positive effect on entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) (β = 0.268; p<0.001). Additionally, entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) has a positive effect on innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.547; p<0.001). Furthermore, the mediation results has shown that entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) mediates the relationship between prevention focus (PreV) and innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.136; p<0.001); as well as that of promotion focus (PreM) and firm performance (IP) (β = 0.146; p<0.001). Finally, the results with regards to moderation effects has shown that entrepreneurial orientation (EntO) partially moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) and innovative performance (IP) (β = 0.109; p<0.05), however, the result established that entrepreneurial learning (EntL) does not moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience (EntR) and firm performance (IP) (β = -0.031; p<0.05). Using the Resource Based View theory, we concluded that, SME’s needs to adopted prevention (vigilant/avoidant strategies) by minimizing losses, and taking calculated risks with motivation from mentors to avoid loss as this would achieve resilience as well as promotion of strategies (eager/approach strategies) to achieve gains for their SMEs during economic disruption and economic downturn such as COVID-19. We concluded that SME’s could also achieve resilience when managers or owners of SMEs inspire the employees to work harder, and think outside the box to identify latent ideas and opportunities within their SME business environment.

Published: November 2023

CoV-2 infection has become a global issue in healthcare since December 2019. According to our findings, diabetes raises the likelihood and severity of COVID-19 disease in 2019. High blood sugar was found to reduce immunity and worsen COVID-19 while it is linked to several other risk factors. With COVID-19, the study will assess the levels of C3a and C5a in diabetes and non-diabetic patients. This study included 120 covid-19 patients (60 diabetic and 60 non-diabetic). Serum levels were measured in patients and the results showed that the mean levels of C3a and C5a were higher in non-diabetic Covid-19 patients (451.82±108.94 and 215.70±48.37pg/ml respectively) compared with those with diabetes (357.88±41.22 and 188.86±33.98pg/ml respectively) with a significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001).

Authors: Sitohang Nur Asnah , Delux Putra Effendy
Published: November 2023

The skin is the largest organ of the human body with various complex functions essential for human survival. The skin protects the body from harmful chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and pathogenic organisms. Wound can be described as a disorders of organs' anatomical structure and function, which includes skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones. One of the medicinal plants that can be used to accelerate wound healing is Barringtonia racemosa. B. racemosa seeds contain tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, and saponins. To determine the effect of various concentrations of the B. racemosa extract on the physical stability of topical gel. The extract was made into a gel by using carbopol 940 as a thickening agent, methylparaben (nipagin) as a preservative, propylene glycol, triethanolamine (TEA) as a neutralizing agent, and aquadest. In this study, the concentration of B.racemosa seed extract used was 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7% during four weeks of observation. The organoleptic test, homogeneity, pH, and viscosity of the extract were examined. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal Wallis test. The organoleptic test showed that each formula had a distinctive odour, thick consistency, and a significant colour change (p=0.009). All gel preparations are homogeneous. The pH test showed a significant difference in each gel formula's pH (p=0.002). The viscosity test showed that the 7% gel formula was the thickest p=0.001 (<0.05) Various concentrations of B. racemose kernel extracts affect the topical gel's physical stability, including colour, pH, and viscosity.

Authors: Pham Van Nhat , Nguyen Hieu , Nguyen Anh Tuan , Chanh Xuan Tran , Nguyen Anh Tuan
Published: November 2023

The condition combining a dislocated humeral head fracture and an ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture is seen to be rare in literature, which is limited to case report or case series. Furthermore, effective management of these coexistent injuries is still a subject of debate. The essential purpose of this article is to report another treatment method for this condition. We present a case of a 79-year-old female patient who suffered a three-part humeral head fracture-dislocation associated with the ipsilateral humeral shaft fracture. The combined injuries were managed by minimal invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) through the deltopectoral approach with the eventual result of bone healing and good function after thirty-three months of follow-up. In conclusion, MIPO should be considered a safe and effective option, however, the risk of traumatic osteonecrosis of the humeral head is taken into account before operation decision-making.

Published: November 2023

The deleterious seasonal variation of waterbodies content leaves so much concern for safety of environment. In this study, heavy metals: Pb, Ni, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cu and Cr, as well as physiocochemical parameters: pH, temperature, turbidity, silica, nitrite, nitrate, nitrite as nitrogen and ammonia were determined in 80 samples of sediments and water samples from Chanchaga River and Tagwai Dam in Minna metropolis during dry and rainy seasons. The mean concentrations of the heavy metals in water and sediment samples were ranged as follows respectively: Pb (ND ; ND), Mn (ND - 0.01 mg/dm3;ND – 0.09 mg/dm3), Zn (0.00 – 0.02 mg/dm3 ; ND – 0.12 mg/dm3), Cd (ND ; ND-0.03 mg/dm3), Cu (ND – 0.01 mg/dm3 ;ND – 0.03 mg/dm3) and Cr (ND-0.02 mg/dm3 ; ND-0.02 mg/dm3) for rainy and dry seasons. The concentrations (mg/dm3) of the physicochemical parameters were as follows: pH (6.35 – 7.46 ; 4.41-7.75), temperature (27.64 - 30.570C ; 25.35 – 27.91), silica (ND – 6.09 mg/dm3 ; 1.97 -10.11 mg/dm3) ammonia (0.41- 7.54 ; 4.50 - 14.33 mg/dm3), turbidity (30.87 – 80.86 NTU ; 15.33-66.30 NTU), Conductivity (87.43-115.70 µS/cm ; 209.00 – 421.93 µS/cm), nitrite (ND – 0.12 mg/dm3; 0.05 - 0.41 mg/dm3), nitrite-nitrogen (0.01 – 0.03 mg/dm3 ; 0.03 - 0.13 mg/dm3) and nitrate (ND – 8.13 mg/dm3 ; 2.80 - 21.62mg/dm3). Cd, Zn, Mn, ammonia, turbidity, Cu, pH, and nitrite were above the WHO limit in water and sediment samples and in both seasons. The results of the analysis showed the pollution in Chanchaga River and Tagwai Dam to be above WHO permissible limit.. Principal Component Analysis of the datasets showed nitrite-nitrogen, turbidity and pH as the signature contaminants among the water samples, while nitrate, nitrite-nitrogen, Cd, silica and turbidity characterize the sediment samples. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) of the water and sediment samples characterizes the pollution source types. Correlation analysis showed strong positive relationship among conductivity-temperature (0.839), nitrate - nitrite nitrogen (0.806), nitrite – nitrite nitrogen (0.999) in the water samples and strong positive correlation between temperature and silica (0.763mg/dm3), conductivity (0.919µS/cm) and Zn (0.664mg/dm3) in the sediment samples.

Asolarity
Authors: Alexander Ian J. , Starosielski Nicole
Published: November 2023

Even as it is broadcast across the planet’s surface, sunlight is not an equally accessible resource. It is mediated by social practices that position some bodies in the sun, while depriving others of sunlight. Even if most phenomena are entangled with the sun, “solar media” refract these rays through a political topography, and as a result, sunlight manifests as social form. In this article, we discuss how solar violences not only work via exposure and overexposure, but also through the asolar, the creation of social forms in which sunlight is not only absent, but blocked as a means of inflicting bodily harm and social disaggregation. We focus on one site where the asolar has long been a means of violence: the prison. Describing a critical struggle against the South Carolina Department of Corrections, and the broader context of using solar media in solitary confinement, we explore how asolar environments have been weaponized. In turn, we argue that counter-mediations of sunlight made by those held captive articulate a re-distribution of sunlight as necessary to freedom.
Living Too Close to the Sun
Authors: Barber Daniel A.
Published: November 2023

Since about 2010, a number of so-called supertall residential towers have arisen in Manhattan, puncturing the skyline. Referred to as pencil towers for their tall, skinny profile, these buildings represent the pinnacle of a contemporary form of architectural excess, a virtuosic expression of the financial machinations of the super-rich. They are also reliant on excessive carbon expenditures – tall, sealed buildings that cannot be lived in without mechanical heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems.

What is especially suggestive, in the context of solarity, are the precise terms of that excess. Luxury and exclusivity are expressed in height, in proximity to the sun. And yet, the mechanical capacity to reach that height is served by a dramatic increase in mechanical conditioning derived carbon emissions. In this sense, the towers express, at least in a schematic, diagrammatic fashion, a more general condition: how concepts of value and innovation are caught up in the priorities of capital, making them difficult to align with the capacity for solar liberation.

The essay reads these towers through the energy imaginaries of Gibson, Ghosh, and Bacigalupi, offering a counter model for how innovation in architecture can be and can resonates more equitably across social and ecological conditions.
Tupilaq (In the Shadow of Solarity)
Authors: Boetzkes Amanda
Published: November 2023

This chapter considers “solarity” as an elemental agent that shapes the cultural regimes of the circumpolar North. I discuss how solar energy weathers the artifacts of the Thule people, the ancestors of the contemporary Inuit. The sun draws out the oils and bleaches the surfaces of Thule remains, yielding them up for use in the production of tools, commodities and archaeological objects of study. But where this process might be understood to neutralize the meaning of Thule artifacts, priming them for scientific study, I suggest otherwise. Following the lead of Inuit mythology, I locate solarity in its diurnal and seasonal interplay with other irreducible elements, as these overlap, transgress and withdraw from one another. This trajectory counteracts the technoscientific perspective at work in environmental archaeology, that would position cultural changes (from the Thule to the Inuit, specifically) as a passive adaptation to natural change. By contrast, I position solarity as a force that vitalizes material culture, its capacity to cast shadows and yield an account of artifacts beyond positivist frames. The insights of solarity come by way of reading its interaction with the moon, the night, with bone and sinew, with land and water, tools and carvings, climate changes, animal migrations, and the forced displacement of the circumpolar Inuit.
The Kiln
Authors: Förster Kim
Published: November 2023

This chapter, in dialogue with the energy humanities task of thinking transition, attempts to undo cement by assessing material transformation in the cement kiln. Portland cement, a bulk commodity that has been a critical building material in the concrete mix throughout the 20th century (along to gravel, sand and water, all of which are now recognized scarce), is seen as problematic, even destructive, in times of climate emergency because the production process in industrial cement plants itself contributes significantly to global carbon emissions. As key sites of Anthropocene metabolism, the global web of kilns become object and narrative device of architectural and environmental histories, and indeed the humanities to address and expose modern tropes of growth and progress. From an elemental perspective the kiln burns not only fossil fuels, and today so-called alternative fuels; the chemical process itself, as known through patent history, relies on the fact that half of the carbon dioxide is released during the calcination process. Since the emissions come from the raw meal itself, it is argued, any solar project, social, ecological, and economic, as well as cultural would have to rethink the kiln, since innovation in admixtures and fuels only prolong the existing cement regime.

The digital transformation and consequent use of new digital technologies not only have a substantial impact on society and companies, but also on science. Analog documentation as we have known it for centuries will eventually be replaced by intelligent and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) systems. In addition to the actual research data and results, metadata now plays an important role not only for individual, independently existing projects, but for future scientific use and interdisciplinary research groups and disciplines as well. The solution presented here, consisting of an electronic laboratory notebook and laboratory information management system (ELN-LIMS) based on the openBIS (open Biology Information System) environment, offers interesting features and advantages, especially for interdisciplinary work. The Collaborative Research Centre (CRC) 1411 ‘Design of Particulate Products’ of the German Research Foundation is characterized by the cooperation of different working groups of synthesis, characterization, and simulation, and therefore serves as a model environment to present the implementation of openBIS. OpenBIS, as an open source ELN-LIMS solution following FAIR principles, provides a common set of general entries with the possibility of sharing and linking (meta-)data to improve the scientific exchange between all users.
A new study of relativistic and nonrelativistic for new modified Yukawa potential via the BSM in the framework of noncommutative quantum mechanics symmetries: An application to heavy-light mesons systems
Authors: Maireche Abdelmadjid
Published: November 2023

In this article, the deformed Dirac equation was solved with a new modified Yukawa potential within three tensor interactions (Coulomb-like, Yukawa-like, and Hulthén-type potentials) (NMYTTIs). This study is scrutinized by taking into consideration the noncommutative space-space effect within the relativistic and nonrelativistic regimes using the parametric of Bopp’s shift method and standard perturbation theory with the help of an approximation to the centrifugal term. In the framework of the spin and pseudospin (p-spin) symmetry, we obtain the global new energy eigenvalue which equals the energy eigenvalue in usual relativistic QM under the new modified Yukawa potential plus the corrected of energy induced with three infinitesimal additive parts of the relativistic Hamiltonian corresponds to the spin-orbit interaction, the new modified Zeeman and the rotational Fermi term. The new values that we get appeared sensitive to the quantum numbers (j,k,l,lps,s,sps,m,mps) and (j,l,s,m) (within the relativistic and nonrelativistic regimes, respectively), the potential depths (A,B,C), the range of the potential α, and noncommutativity parameters (η,σ,χ). The present results are applied for calculating the mass spectra of heavy mesons such as heavy-light mesons HLM such as cc¯, bb¯, bc¯, bs¯, cs¯ and bq¯, q=(u,d). Our results excellent agree perfectly with the ones in works of literature.

Objective: The subject of our study is to determine the efficacy and safety of non-chemical compounds thyme, eucalyptus, and oxalic acid against Varroa destructor ectoparasite, which is widely observed in honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies both in our country and in the world. Materials and Methods: The study was designed of five groups and these groups were designed as group 1 (oxalic acid), group 2 (thymol), group 3 (eucalyptus), group 4 (positive control), group 5 (negative control). Seven honey bee colonies were included in each group. The first, second, and third groups were designed to form the treatment groups, and the last two groups to form the positive and negative control groups. Each group consisted of 7 hives. In the treatment groups, oxalic acid was dissolved in glycerin, thyme and eucalyptus were dissolved in ethyl alcohol, and they were absorbed into special towels. Two pieces per beehive were placed on the frames in the beehives. The treatments were applied weekly for 3 wk during the September. Treatment efficiencies were calculated with the Henderson-Tilton formula and the statistical difference between the oxalic acid, thyme, and eucalyptus treatment groups was determined by the General Linear Model procedure. Results: Treatment efficiencies were determined as 91.74%, 82.25%, and 79.2% in oxalic acid, thyme, and eucalyptus treatment groups, respectively. Conclusion: The findings revealed that completely natural herbal extracts and organic acids can be used instead of chemical drugs against Varroosis. Toxication and unnatural deaths were not observed in honey bees throughout the trials.

A Square Deal to clear the Air: Managing the Difficult Patient Encounters
Authors: Riaz Adnan , Bin Nasir Umair , Majeed Salman
Published: November 2023

Introduction: There are a number of patients in every clinical setting who are referred to as "difficult patients," and encounters with them can often evoke negative emotions in doctors. As compared to experienced clinicians, young doctors are often struggling while providing care to such patients. But we surprisingly know very little about young doctor’s perceptions of themselves and difficult patients while encountering them, so without proper understanding, strategies cannot be formulated to handle these challenging situations.Objective: The purpose of this study is to explore the patterns and contributing factors responsible for the difficult patient encounters faced by young doctors.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted among the house officers and medical officers of the medicine department at Islam Medical College Sialkot and Khawaja Muhammad Safdar Medical College Sialkot for a period of six months from February 2020 to July 2020. The purposive homogeneous sampling technique was chosen, and five focused group interviews were conducted for the data collection. Data was collected until saturation. The data was organized and entered into the Data Analysis Software NVIVO for the thematic analysis.Results: Thirty-four participants took part in this study. The results were presented in the form of themes and categories. Patient’s issues, health care issues, and young doctor’s issues were described as three major factors that play role in difficult patient encounters.Conclusion: Difficult patient encounters are not only due to patients or doctors; rather, they are a multi-factorial phenomenon very strongly influenced by the overall social, cultural, and behavioral associations.

Published: November 2023

Introduction: With the increasing changes in teaching trends, students prefer to learn with interactive teaching instead of traditional one-way teaching lectures and tutorials.

Objectives: investigate the comparative role of traditional tutorial and small group discussion on student’s learning.

Methods:This is a cross sectional questionnaire-based study, conducted in Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics of Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Medical and Dental College for a period of 1 week. Ninety students of pharmacology department were selected for this study. For tutorial 3 batches of 30 students were taught for 2 hours, whereas for SGD each batch was further subdivided into three batches of 10 students per group.  A validated questionnaire was given to students after each teaching strategy. All the students who were present and willing to participate in this study were included.

Results: In our study > 70% students found SGD to be interactive, had better learning, relevant to the topic, improved their confidence level and they were better able to solve the problems.

The Jaya Mulia Farmer Women's Group (KWT) is a group of women farmers in Krajan, Suren, Ledokombo, Jember, East Java. KWT Jaya Mulia has problems in producing the Aspergillus niger fungus, namely the availability of the F0 generation A. niger fungus, which still buys long-livers to obtain it at a high price. The high price of F0 generation seeds is caused by the expensive materials used, so another alternative is needed to replace the F0 generation seeds of the fungus A. niger to reduce prices. Producing the biological agent A. niger is a very prospective business, so the introduction of A. niger cultivation techniques need to add to the knowledge and skills of women farmer groups to produce biological agents independently. Based on the situation above, the community service activities to help provide training on cultivation techniques and the production of biological agents in the Jaya Mulia farmer women's group are considered relevant to do. The method used in carrying out community service activities is a participatory community empowerment method that emphasizes community involvement in all activities carried out. This community service activity is planned in four stages of activity, namely stage socialization or counseling, skills training stage, evaluation stage, and mentoring. The activity was attended by 25 members of the Jaya Mulia Farmer Women's Group. Based on the results of the activities that have been carried out, it is known that community service activities can increase the knowledge, skills, and income of farmers in carrying out agricultural cultivation.

This To provide an efficient catalyst for Fenton oxidation processing to the treatment in waste fracturing fluid containing hydroxypropyl guar gum under high pH value, a series of metal-tartaric acid complex was prepared for catalyzing the Fenton oxidation. The results show that Fe(III)L complex demonstrate high catalytic performance for degradation of polymer in a wide pH range from 8.0 to 12.0. The viscosity of hydroxypropyl guar gum can be reduced effectively to 2.3 after adding 10.0% H2O2 (mass ratio to hydroxypropyl guar gum) and using 10.0% Fe(III)L (mass ratio to H2O2) as catalysts. The COD value of the treated hydroxypropyl guar gum solution can be decreased to 107 mg/L from 8680 mg/L. The proposed mechanism of the activation of H2O2 by the complex was studied by UV spectrum.

Published: November 2023

The harvest season in southern rice producing areas is often rainy and wet. The rice extruded material is squeezed and rubbed by the threshing nails so that the stem's water with higher moisture content penetrates the surface of the extruded material. During the contact process, the water film is formed, and the pressure difference inside and outside the water film forms the capillary force.Due to the influence of capillary force, the extractives easily adhere to the vibrating screen and the shaking plate, which leads to problems such as the reduction of the effective working area of the cleaning device, the blockage of the screen hole, and the obstruction of the material flow, resulting in generally high impurity and loss rate of the cleaning device.Aiming at the problem of high impurity and loss rate of wet crop cleaning, a kind of cleaning fan with variable temperature was developed, so that the cleaning device could not only adjust the air temperature of the fan in real-time, but also ensure that the wind speed of the whole cleaning device was not affected, and improve the cleaning efficiency.
