Estimation of Consumer Value on Import Management of Seafood Obtained from IUU Fishing: Using Choice Experiment Method
Authors:   Korea Trade Research Association, An Ji-Eun , Park Se-Hyun , Lee Heon-Dong
Published: May 2023

Purpose - This study empirically analyzes the consumer value of risk management associated with illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing of fishery products imported to Korea. The global regulatory paradigm for IUU fishing has shifted from production-centered to market-centered. As a result, changes in the international fisheries trade environment emphasizing “transparency” and “legality” of the production process are accelerating. Therefore, changes in the management systems of fishery products entering the country are also needed. Accordingly, this study estimated the consumer value for risk management of IUU fishing, targeting major fish species imported to Korea, and derived the feasibility of introducing related policies.
Design/methodology - This study used the choice experiment as an analysis model to estimate consumers’ willingness to pay for the “possibility to check for IUU fishing.” The choice experiment assumes that the value of a good or service is composed of separable attributes and that the sum of the part-worth of these individual attributes becomes the total value. In this study, respondents were presented with profiles comprising three attributes (country of origin, price, and possibility of checking IUU fishing) and the levels of frozen poulp squid, the subject of the analysis. The participants were asked to select their preferred profile. The marginal willingness to pay for each attribute was derived from the results of the respondents’ choices using conditional logit model estimates.
Findings - There is a marked difference in utility based on the preference of the country of origin of fishery products among consumers. In addition, the utility of fishery products that have undergone IUU fishing verification was observed to be higher, with the utility marked to be higher for lower prices.
Originality/value - Estimating the policy value of the risk management in IUU fishing of imported fisheries products in this study is a novel attempt that has never been conducted before. Several studies have been conducted to assess the risk of IUU fishing associated with the import of fishery products internationally. However, such studies are yet to be conducted in Korea. Instead, policies and studies have focused on issues related to complying with trading partners’ legal and transparent standards for exporting fishery products. This study should be the beginning of more in-depth empirical and theoretical explorations to establish order in the domestic seafood market and respond to changes in international regulations on IUU fishing.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to develop a fish grater machine to produce shredded fish on a household scale. The development of this fish shredder machine considers getting the maximum capacity, a minimum percentage of losses, a maximum percentage of the samples with short grade and middle grade size, and a maximum percentage of the samples with rough grade size with limited sources specified power. The method used in this research is the machine manufacturing and testing approach. Three types of shredder machine teeth (K-type, P-type, and B-type) are the main focus of this research to optimize the quality of the shredded material and the machine's performance. The machine capacity, the percentage of losses, and the optimal quality of the counting size of the developed machine can be achieved using K-type shredder machine teeth. Analysis of variance and the t-test are used simultaneously to determine the optimal performance of this machine. The results of this study suggest that using a K-type shredder machine teeth is the most appropriate shredder machine for shredded fish.

Authors: WU Delin , ZHAO Enlong , FANG Dong , LIU Yilin , WANG Shunli , WU Cheng , GUO Feng
Published: May 2023

In order to use the resonance principle for vibratory picking of Camellia oleifera fruit, the frequency sweep tests were carried out on the fruiting branches of Camellia oleifera trees. The results showed that the acceleration response of fruit-bearing branches had good consistency. The use of fruit removal rate alone to evaluate the picking effect is not reliable, and the introduction of energy utilization to evaluate the vibration picking effect is significant. The best results were a vibration frequency of 8 Hz and an excitation time of 10 s. The fruit removal rate was 88.12% and the energy utilization rate was 36.72%. Compared with the traditional fruit shedding rate, the application of energy utilization rate to evaluate the picking effect can improve the reliability of the results and reduce the energy loss.

Published: May 2023

A sunken solar greenhouse is the original type of greenhouse in China, its soil wall thermal storage performance is better and low cost. Higher benefits of stereoscopic planting in sunken solar greenhouses, while repeated use of the substrate can produce pathogens, so high-temperature smothering is used for sterilization in the summer months of June to August. To investigate the mechanism of indoor temperature and humidity variation and fungicidal effect in a sunken solar greenhouse, a single cross-sectional test of temperature and humidity in sunken solar greenhouse during the smothering period was conducted using wireless sensors. The results showed that: The maximum value of indoor temperature at noon was 69.5°C the temperature value of all measurement points was greater than 50°C for 3h, when removing the measurement points at the upper surface of the ground, the relative humidity value of other measurement points was less than 60% for 5h. During the daytime period, when the indoor temperature is greater than 28°C in the interval 7:00-12:00, the initial relative humidity value of each measurement point is located at 70%-85%; when the weighted temperature of each measurement point starts to rise at a rate of 1.1°C/10min, the weighted humidity of each measurement point declining is 1.3%/10min; the determination of the rate of change of indoor temperature and humidity during the daytime and the starting value can provide a basis for indoor plants to take measures to sterilize at high temperature.

The History of Women's Writing
Authors: Uma Abdullahi Dahiru , M. Baba Musa Y.
Published: May 2023

The concept feminism encompasses to an intense awareness of feminine identity and concerns, which has become a significant theme in literature since its rise and development. Despite its controversial nature, this essay offers a comprehensive understanding of feminist literature, including various types such as liberal feminism, radical feminism, Marxist feminism, socialist feminism, cultural feminism, black/African feminism, womanism, African womanism and satanism, and mothers. Women writers have contributed aesthetically and intellectually to the progress and development of society, rejecting the notion of inferiority and highlighting their capabilities. The struggle for equal treatment and identity is a recurring theme in feminist literature. The developing force of the women's liberation movement led to an evaluation of texts from a new perspective, shifting interest to women characters and theorists. In Nigeria, particularly the Northern part, women are traditionally restricted from voicing their opinions, and their decisions are made by male-dominating figures. This paper traces the origin of women's writing worldwide, in Africa and Nigeria; using the theoretical frameworks and text analysis to derive data and suggestions on how women writers can improve their literary status in Nigeria, especially the Northern Nigeria.

A Sociolinguistics Application of Language, Culture and Communication as Panacea to Incessant Conflicts and Banditry in North-West, Nigeria
Authors: Ojoo Saidu Yahaya
Published: May 2023

The tenant of peace has been distorted with bunches of crises, especially in the Northern part of Nigeria. Security in the Nigerian states has become a major problem in recent times. Cases of abduction, kidnapping, terrorism, senseless killings, maiming, nihilism, burgeoning restlessness, banditry and others vices, have been unabatedly rampant. Therefore, Nigerian citizens, despite the state security apparatus to ensure the safety and protection of lives and property, are incessantly living in perpetual fear and worry. It is against this backdrop that this research article employs other means of trying to resolve the scenario of crises and banditry through the application of sociolinguistics, language, culture and communication as a panacea to incessant crises and banditry in Northern Nigeria. The principal aim of the study is to identify how language and culture could lead to the achievement of peacebuilding across the Northern Nigerian states, especially in North-west Nigeria. Interviews and questionnaires were complementarily adopted to gather data for the study. Whorf Hypothesis Theory was used as the theoretical framework of analysis for the study. On the whole, the study discovered among other things that, language, culture and effective communication are better instruments for settling disputes rather than the use of force. Therefore, the study concludes that the roles of language, communication and culture in the management of crises and other conflict-related activities can never be over-emphasized in the settling of disputes among warring parties.
Analysis of Proverbs in the Play “Jatau Na Kyallu” Using Ethnography of Communication Theory
Authors: Gele Nasiru D. , Ka’oje Bello A.
Published: May 2023

This study aims to extract and analyze all the proverbs used in the play "Jatau Na Kyallu" written by Alhaji Shu'aibu Makarfi (1970) using the Ethnography of Communication theory. The theory studies communication within the context of social and cultural practices and beliefs, as propounded by Dell Hymes in 1974. To achieve this aim, the play was analyzed, and 48 proverbs were extracted and analyzed using the SPEAKING model for analyzing speech in its cultural context. The study found that all the proverbs used in the play were influenced by the social and cultural aspects of the speech community, as well as the context in which they were used. The eight parameters of social and cultural contexts that guided the use of the proverbs were identified as setting, participants, ends, act sequence, key, instrumentalities, norms of interaction, and genre. The study concludes that the link between linguistic forms and the society they portray is essential, and such harmony is a powerful strategy used by the writer (Alhaji Shu’aibu Makarfi) to make the work relevant to Hausa studies researchers. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the teaching of Hausa proverbs should be encouraged in schools to help children appreciate the culture and moral lessons that the proverbs offer.

This paper examines the relationship between grammar and semantic sciences by investigating the plurals of breaking in Suratul Baqarah of the Holy Qur’an. The purpose is to determine the extent of the relationship between grammar and meaning, including broadness, narrowness, and oppositeness. The focus is on understanding the morphological relationship of the plurals of breaking and their effects on meaning, including addition, deficiency, and other factors. This investigation aims to prove the relevance of the Suratul Baqarah to contemporary issues and demonstrate the enduring nature of its meaning. The plurals of breaking are complex and have been the subject of ongoing discussion among grammar scholars. However, some facts about them are fixed, such as their function of few and many. The plurals of breaking are a factor in bringing about change and expanding the meaning of what is meant based on the speaker’s intentions and the circumstances. These include minimizing, humiliating, honoring, obscuring, venerating, minimizing and increasing, generalizing, specifying, and others. The paper also highlights the confusion between plural endings and inexhaustible nouns among grammarians due to their similarities and differences. The researchers recommend continuing the study of morphological phenomena through religious texts and linking them to modern sciences to create a dual study between religious and linguistic sciences. They suggest separating the ultimate plural and the unending nouns as they may be similar in some aspects, but different in others.

Virulence of the Entomopathogenic Fungi Metarhizium spp. from Various Rhizospheres Against the Pest Walang Sangit (Leptocorisa acuta Thunb.). Metarhizium spp. is a type of entomopathogenic fungus that can be used to control Leptocorisa acuta. The purpose of this study was to obtain isolates of the fungus Metahrizium spp. which is virulent from various rhizospheres against L. acuta. The results of this study are expected to produce bioinsecticides with active ingredients from the entomopathogenic fungus Metahrizium spp. which are effective for controlling L. acuta pests in rice plants. Entomopathogenic fungal isolates Metarhizium spp. The samples used came from various plant rhizospheres in different regions, namely Met1a (Metarhizium spp. from the leek rhizosphere, Tanah Datar area), Met3b (Metarhizium spp. from the leek rhizosphere, Pua Agam River area), MetcTd (Metarhizium spp. from red chili rhizosphere, Tanah Datar area), Met2d (Metarhizium spp. from leek rhizosphere, Padang Lua Agam area), and MetKtBs (Metarhizium spp. from peanut rhizosphere, Batusangkar area). The results showed that some isolates of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium spp. had a very significant effect on the mortality of L. acuta nymphs, L. acuta imago formed and duration of death of L. acuta. Treatment C (Met3b: Metarhizium spp. from leek rhizosphere, Pua Agam River area) was the best treatment among other treatments, with the mortality of 3 instar L. acuta nymphs of 100%, the number of imago formed 0% and the duration of death of 3 instar L. acuta nymphs with an average time of 4.50 days.

Deficiency that cannot be reformed in the eye is the blindness. This research aims to investigate the potential benefits and limitations of incorporating electronic sensors and assistive technologies into traditional blind sticks to create a smart blind stick. A smart blind stick is a wearable device that provides additional functionality and features to help visually impaired individuals navigate their surroundings more safely and independently. A smart stick is planned with impediment identification module and object detection. A stick is made in a way that it can sense obstacles and staircases by using sensors. It also intimates the presence of water and manhole. Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to locate the visually impaired person as it is incorporated in the stick used. Global system for Mobile Communication (GSM) is also used. Status of the blind person will be notified to the guardian with the image and location. Overall, this research contributes to the development and improvement of assistive technologies for visually impaired individuals and provide insights for researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers on how to better support individuals with visual impairments.

Authors: Hernandez Peña Victor Waldez , Marques Vidal Juan Julio
Published: May 2023

Background: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis is detected in a large number of patients and is responsible for multiple symptoms and signs, among which pain predominates, its treatment is varied and ranges from conservative to surgical, in which the arthroscopic route stands out.

Objective: Show the behavior of a group of patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis.

Material and methods: A descriptive observational study was carried out in 96 patients with the clinical and radiographic diagnosis of patellofemoral osteoarthritis from January 2015 to April 2017. The non-probabilistic and intentional sample consisted of 77 patients who met the selection criteria (inclusion and exclusion).

Results: The average age was 52.2 years, the female sex, the right kneecap predominated and the cause that was most observed was primary. Pain during rest is one of its main manifestations. There is a correlation between the Iwano T and Outerbridge RE classification. In general, there are other affected compartments of the joint, the isolated presence is very rare, and arthroscopic treatment is very useful.

Conclusions: Patellofemoral osteoarthritis is frequent, it generates symptoms and signs in a large group of patients. The presence of this condition is usually associated with other joint injuries, and patients can be treated arthroscopically.
Review of current medical literature on root resorption in orthodontics.
Authors: Thomas Isack
Published: May 2023

Root resorption is a common iatrogenic consequence of orthodontic treatment, although it can also be seen in the absence of orthodontic treatment. It may occur at any time during orthodontic treatment and compromise prognosis of the tooth involved and also the stability of treatment results. Orthodontics is the only branch which actually uses the inflammatory process as a tool for solving esthetic and functional problems. Therefore, every orthodontist should know the risk factors of root resorption involved in the process and plan treatment with an aim to reduce its possibility. The severity and degree of root resorption related with orthodontic treatment are multifactorial, involving environmental factors and host factors. A proper medical history, an assessment of predisposing factors, radiographic evaluation of alterations in root morphology and careful planning and execution of orthodontic mechanics may reduce the incidence of root resorption. The current review is aimed at providing clinicians and academics with an insight into the mechanical and biological aspects in the process of root resorption, the methods of identification during its early stages and intervention at the right time to reduce its severity.
Conhecendo os quelônios da Amazônia: uma proposta de sequência didática para o ensino contextualizado de Ciências
Authors: Sousa Ana Caroline Silva , Sachs Juliane Priscila Diniz , Da Silva Ronaldo Adriano Ribeiro
Published: May 2023

Segundo uma perspectiva humanista de Educação, a contextualização no ensino de Ciências é fundamental para uma aprendizagem substantiva dos conteúdos. Com a contextualização, o aprendiz e o educador, mediante seus contextos vivenciais, atribuem sentido e relevância aos conhecimentos sistematizados e científicos, que lhes proporcionam uma compreensão de globalidade, assim como um maior poder de ação frente a uma realidade social e ambiental problemática. Pensando nisso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar uma proposta de sequência didática, voltada à construção de conhecimentos de biologia e à sensibilização quanto à questão ambiental, a partir de uma problemática referente à conservação e preservação das espécies de quelônios da região do Xingu, temática pouco explorada pelas pesquisas de desenvolvimento de abordagens didáticas, mas que apresenta relevância científica e educacional, em especial para os educadores e aprendizes dessa região. A proposta, destinada ao 7º ano da Educação Básica, orientou-se pelos aportes teóricos da pedagogia freiriana, abrangendo atividades lúdicas, organizadas segundo metodologia dos Três Momentos Pedagógicos. Essa apresenta potencial de aplicabilidade e pode ajudar educadores que desejam proporcionar um ensino de Ciências capaz de sensibilizar os aprendizes quanto à preservação e à conservação da biodiversidade brasileira.
