Tujuan pengabdian memberi penguatan ketahanan pangan melalui pemanfaatan lahan gambut tanpa bakar. Metode pengabdian adalah Participatory Rurral Appraisal dengan melibatkan empat kelompok sasaran atau mitra meliputi Pemerintah Desa Tanjung Leban, kelompok perempuan, lembaga ekonomi desa (BUMDes) dan melibatkan mahasiswa dari berbagai disiplin ilmu. Kegiatan dimulai dengan mengenalkan potensi lahan gambut bagi tanaman pangan menggunakan metode tanpa bakar yang selama ini belum dilaksanakan dengan optimal. Pengabdian ini menggunakan sistem demplot sebagai lahan percontohan yang ditanami jagung, kangkung dan tanaman obat-obatan. Tanaman dirawat bersama secara bergantian dan dilakukan monitoring selama beberapa hari. Hasil monitoring menujukkan pertumbuhan yang baik dengan tambahan pupuk kompos. Tanaman dapat dipanen dan dimanfaatkan untuk kebutuhan rumah tangga meskipun dalam jumlah yang kecil. Keberhasilan ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem pertanian tanpa bakar memiliki potensi untuk dikembangkan dalam skala luas bagi komoditas pangan dengan dukungan berbagai pihak. Hal ini dikarenakan dalam praktik sistem pertanian lahan tanpa bakar diperlukan biaya cukup besar mulai dari tahap persiapan hingga penanaman dan perawatan.
Strengthening Food Security Through A Non-Burn Farming System in Tanjung Leban Village Bandar Laksamana Sub-District Bengkalis Regency

Este artigo trata da obsolescência programada na transição do iPad 3 para o iPad 4 da Apple. Também aborda a discussão ambiental e filosófico-política da transformação do bom selvagem de Rousseau e a modernidade líquida de Bauman que entrelaça o ser social de consumo e a mercadoria. A obsolescência ocorre a partir da tríade propaganda, marketing e manipulação persuasiva dos seguidores em rede. A metodologia empregada utilizou as técnicas descritiva e bibliográfica, observação de caso, qualitativa e teórico-empírica, já que os dados bibliográficos foram cruzados com informações do caso concreto. Conclui-se que deve ser regulamentada a vedação da obsolescência programada mediante revisão do CDC, para estabelecer a responsabilidade do fabricante e fornecedor de bens duráveis, segundo o critério da vida útil do produto e não da garantia contratual. Deve haver inserção de dispositivo que trate da abusividade contida na obsolescência programada e previsão de multa. Dessa forma, atribuirá natureza mais eficaz ao código consumerista. Tramitam no Congresso Nacional os projetos de lei PL 7.875/2017, PL 3.019/2019 e PL 1.791/2021, este último abre caminho à punição de fabricantes instalados no Brasil e importadores. Em interpretação extensiva ao art. 170 da CF/88, vedar a obsolescência programada é um dever constitucional. Espera-se que a pesquisa contribua para a aprovação legislativa.

Published: October 2023

Small and Medium Scale Enterprises are making a considerable contribution to the economic growth of many countries. Women have been empowered over the past years and most of them have embraced entrepreneurship by running their own micro enterprises. The application of financial literacy practices in SMEs is important to ensure solvency of these ventures since inadequate financial literacy has been faulted as the main reason for failure of many small enterprises especially during start up. There exists scant empirical literature on this study area. Along these lines, there was need to explore the relationship between inventory management literacy and solvency position of women micro entrepreneurs in Nakuru Town. Explanatory research design was employed and primary data was collected through stratified proportionate random sample from a targeted population of 187 registered women entrepreneurs using structured questionnaires. Data was analyzed through the use of descriptive and inferential statistics. The research findings indicated inventory management literacy has a positive significant relationship with solvency position of women micro entrepreneurs in Nakuru Town. The study recommends that women micro entrepreneurs should engage their suppliers to reduce cases of long lead time which may enhance inventory management and enhance the solvency position.

Reducing boiler maintenance costs with improved materials for air-heater tubes
Authors: Mann Anthony , Plaza Floren , Alam Nazmul , Ryan Kelly
Published: October 2023

Corrosion of boiler air-heater tubes costs the industry several million dollars each year in repairs, reduced boiler steam output and reduced boiler efficiency. There have been many cases where the reduced boiler steam output caused by leaking air-heater tubes has reduced factory crushing rates and electricity export. Corrosion of air-heater tubes can, in many cases, be minimised by improving the gas and air flow distributions with turning vanes and ductwork redesign, but in nearly all cases, there are some tubes on the cold air side of air-heaters that are still susceptible to dew-point corrosion. Using improved tube materials in parts of boiler air-heaters that are susceptible to dew-point corrosion will significantly extend air-heater life. Available materials and coatings were reviewed, and laboratory- and factory-scale trials, metal temperature measurements, dew-point calculations and a financial analysis-based ranking of commercially available tube materials were undertaken. S-TEN 1 had a similar corrosion performance to SS304 stainless steel. Both the S-TEN 1 and SS304 stainless steel tubes had significantly greater resistance to dew-point corrosion than the carbon-steel tubes typically used in the air-heaters of Australian sugar factory boilers. The good performance of S-TEN 1 in this project is not consistent with the poor performance of S-TEN 1 (no better than carbon-steel) in earlier trials carried out by Isis Mill. The conditions experienced by the trial tubes in this project were not as severe as those experienced by the tubes in the earlier Isis Mill trials, and this appears to be the main reason for the current improved performance of the S-TEN 1 tubes. This requires further investigation.

Rangeland health assessment of Theodore Roosevelt National Park
Authors: Stoneburner Alexandra , Spaak Jordan
Published: October 2023

We assessed rangeland health at 12 locations distributed across Theodore Roosevelt National Monument (THRO) in June 2022. Assessments were conducted using version 5 of Interpreting Indicators of Rangeland Health (IIRH), a qualitative protocol designed to assess departures from reference condition for three rangeland attributes: Soil and Site Stability, Hydrologic Function, and Biotic Integrity. In this report, we review assessment locations and further discuss locations with at least one IIRH attribute rated as a moderate or greater departure from reference, considering them ?ecologically compromised? for the purposes of this report; two locations in the North Unit, three locations in the South Unit, and three locations in the Elkhorn Ranch Unit were considered ecologically compromised. Compromised assessment locations in the North Unit departed significantly from reference condition in all three attributes while compromised assessment locations in the South Unit and Elkhorn Ranch Unit departed significantly from reference condition in Hydrologic Function and Biotic Integrity. Across all assessment locations, departure from reference condition was most consistent for Biotic Integrity and Hydrologic Function, primarily due to the presence of introduced grasses. IIRH is a point-in-time assessment protocol and findings do not communicate trends, positive or negative; thus, managers should seek out other pertinent information (e.g., management history) to contextualize the findings of this report before changing management practices.

EFFECT OF TIG WELDING ON ALUMINIUM MATRIX COMPOSITE
Authors: K Sakthi Vadivel , C Sivaraj , K Vigneshwaran
Published: October 2023

Metal Matrix Composite has evoked a keen interest in potential applications in aerospace and automotive industries, owing to their superior strength-to-weight ratio and temperature resistance. Nowadays, welding strength on composite materials is more essential. So, in this project, we consider the effect of TIG welding on aluminium matrix composite (Al & Sn). The TIG welding on aluminium alloys like (Al 6061& Al 6063) has lost its welding strength by around 30% in Al 6063 & 50% in Al 6061. To regain the welding strength, we need a heat treatment process like hardening and tempering, which is a more costly and time-consuming one. To eradicate this problem, we will mix the malleable Tin (Sn) in different ratios of 90:10 and 85:15 for the aluminium alloys (Al 6061 & Al 6063). Then analyzing the effect of TIG welding on the aluminium metal matrix, the welding strength of the aluminium metal matrix composite is increased by 5% compared to the previous material.

Authors: Bachchhav Bhanudas , Anecha Yash , Waghmare Balraj
Published: October 2023

In recent years, nano lubricants have gained significant attention due to their potential to enhance lubricant efficacy and reduce friction and wear. This research work aims to investigate the effects of TiO2 nanoparticles into trimethylolpropane trioleate (TMPTO) based bio-lubricant on its friction and wear characteristics. The four-ball tester is employed to evaluate the lubricating performance of the TMPTO-TiO2 nano-lubricant at varying additive concentrations under controlled conditions of speed, load, and temperature. The parameters were ranked based on the results of the Taguchi experiments and their corresponding single-to-noise ratios. The combination of TMPTO base oil and TiO2 nano-lubricant exhibited a synergistic effect in diminishing friction and wear. This research aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendly and efficient lubrication solutions in various metalworking industries. Further investigation of the wear mechanism under TMPTO oil-based nano lubricants and its applicability in high-speed metal cutting applications is suggested.

Authors: Ndakara Emmanuel Ofudjaye , Osokpor Eloho
Published: October 2023

This study investigated soil quality dynamics under isolated stands of Irvingia gaboneensis within the rainforest of Isoko South region in Nigeria. Both experimental and quasi experimental designs were adopted; while the study area was stratified into 10 from which 2 sampling sites (I. gaboneensis and rainforest respectively) were selected, making 20 sampling sites examined. Samples of soil were derived from topsoil (0-15 cm) and subsoil (15-30 cm) layers of soil under I. gaboneesis and rainforest using core sampler. Each selected site of 30 m x 30 m was divided into quadrant of 10 m x 10 m from which samples were taken. Laboratory analyses of the samples were carried out following standard procedures. All data generated were statistically analysed using descriptive and paired t-test. Results revealed that soil attributes varied under I. gaboneensis and rainforest. With t-value = 0.114 and P (0.9110) > 0.05, mean differences in the topsoil are not significant. For the subsoil, t-value = 0.706 with P (0.4980) > 0.05 thus, mean differences in the subsoils are not significant. Also, with t-value = 1.0250 and P (0.3320) > 0.05, mean differences between the topsoil and subsoil under I. gaboneensis is not significant. For the rainforest, the t-value = 1.1520 and P (0.2790) > 0.05, mean differences between the topsoil and subsoil under adjoining rainforest trees is not significant. The observed insignificant difference in properties of soils under I. gaboneensis and rainforest shows the capacity of I. gaboneensis in soil management. Therefore, its conservation should be encouraged to manage the degraded rainforest ecosystem, while their incorporation into agro-forestry farming should be encouraged
The effects of post-translational modifications on alpha-synuclein aggregation and immune cell activation in Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Khan Zaina , Jung Yoo Jin
Published: October 2023

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) can alter protein aggregation propensity to affect α-syn oligomer and fibril formation. The inflammatory response in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is mediated by microglia, astrocytes, T cells, B cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, which respond to α-syn aggregates in an attempt to clear synucleinopathy and restore brain homeostasis. This review focuses on the effects of PTMs on α-syn aggregation and cell-specific immune responses to α-syn aggregates in the context of PD.
Integration of signaling pathway and bromodomain and extra-terminal domain inhibition for the treatment of mutant Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog cancer
Authors: Hamilton Gerhard , Stickler Sandra , Rath Barbara
Published: October 2023

Mutant Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) is now a drugable oncogenic driver and the KRAS G12C variant responds clinically to sotorasib and adagrasib that covalently block the cysteine of the active center and inhibit downstream signaling and proliferation. Unfortunately, progression-free survival (PFS) of lung cancer patients is only 5–6 months and no survival advantage has been found for sotorasib in comparison to docetaxel chemotherapy. Increased responses to KRAS inhibitors are tested in combination with the son of sevenless 1 (SOS1) inhibitors, upstream and downstream signaling modulators as well as chemotherapeutics. Some of these approaches are limited by toxicity to normal tissues and by diverse mechanisms of resistance. In essence, most of these attempts are directed to the inhibition of proliferation by impairment of the signal transduction pathways. The final target of KRAS-mediated growth stimulation is MYC in the cell nucleus that stimulates transcription of a host of genes. In detail, MYC alters genomic enhancer and super-enhancers of transcription that are frequently deregulated in cancer. Such enhancers can be targeted by bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) inhibitors (BETi) or degraders and this review discusses whether integrated SOS1 inhibition and BET targeting of MYC synergizes against mutant KRAS tumor growth. BET degraders in the form of proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) combined with BAY-293-mediated SOS1 inhibition revealed marked cytotoxic synergy against mutant KRAS cancer cells and may constitute a promising option for clinical treatment.

Episcleral Plaque Brachytherapy For Uveal Melanoma
Authors: ÖZLER Serdar , ALALUF Alp , KAYIKÇIOĞLU Özcan
Published: October 2023

Treatment of uveal melanomas with enucleation surgery has been the primary method for more than 100 years. The Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) demonstrated in 2001 that globe-sparing episcleral brachytherapy for uveal melanoma was a safe and an effective method and there was no difference in survival rates compared with enucleation therapy. Consequently, plaque brachytherapy has become the most commonly used method to preserve the eye and vision in uveal melanomas. In this review, methods that maximize vision preservation, local tumor destruction and metastasis-free survival rates are presented. These methods include medical physics and radiation therapy techniques that improve treatment results and minimize risks. Emphasis is given to plaque selection based on intraocular radiation distribution, tumor size and intraocular location. Pre-treatment dosimetry based plaque selection offers an effective way to maximize vision and improve local control. Key definitions and concepts are provided to allow for a better understanding of plaque management, strategies and associated risks.

Authors: TUNÇ Murat
Published: October 2023

As uveal malignant melanoma is sensitive to radiation, radiotherapies other than plaque brachytherapy are applicable with successful outcomes. Therefore, in this review, we evaluated the alternatives to plaque brachytherapy, such as proton teletherapy and Cyberknife robotic-controlled stereotactic radiotherapy in the light of previously published case series and our experience in Cyberknife regarding the outcomes of treatment, clinical follow-up parameters, and prognostic parameters.

Choroidal vascular tumors; it may present as circumscribed and diffuse choroidal hemangiomas and rarely choroidal hemangiopericytoma and phacomatosis pigmentovascularis. Choroidal hemangiomas are benign vascular hamartomatous tumors that occur in two forms: circumscribed and diffuse. The circumscribed form is typically an isolated finding without systemic associations, while the diffuse form generally occurs in association with Sturge–Weber syndrome. Circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas are generally seen as well-circumscribed, round or oval, elevating dome-shaped orange or red masses located posterior to the equator in the fundus, whereas diffuse choroidal hemangiomas have a diffuse red-orange color appearance (tomatoketchup). Although the diagnosis of choroidal hemangioma is better investigated by means of multimodal imaging, indocyanine green angiography and ultrasonography are the most important tests in the differential diagnosis. For circumscribed choroidal hemangiomas with exudative retinal detachment or cystoid macular edema, a variety of treatment modalities are available. Symptomatic patients can be treated with oral propranolol, photodynamic therapy, transpupillary thermotherapy, plaque radiotherapy, external radiotherapy or intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factors.In this review, the pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment methods in choroidal vascular tumors will be discussed.
