Published: December 2022

O modelo teórico proposto pelos evolucionistas abrange a noção de natureza humana, em rota de colisão com os defensores da tábula rasa. Tais defensores da tábula rasa arguem de que cada indivíduo é uma folha em branco a ser preenchida pela história de vida da vivência em seu mundo social. Nos últimos quarenta anos, tem avançado rapidamente o desenvolvimento de uma explicação evolucionista de fenômenos culturais e de fatos a eles relacionados, especialmente quando encontradas predisposições da mente humana para a transmissão cultural. Altera-se, portanto, o entendimento do que pode ser nomeado como história com os estudos da evolução cultural. Somos animais particulares porque somos uma espécie cultural evoluída, e espécie cultural evoluída implica em características fortemente moldadas pela atuação da seleção cultural no protagonismo da imitação via aprendizado social. Isso deve ser considerado quando se alude ao fenômeno histórico.

Authors: Da Silva Filho Edson Vieira , Cunha Felipe Faria Mortimer , Tomé João Marcos Araujo
Published: December 2022

O artigo apresenta a jurisdição constitucional enquanto instrumento de contenção do poder político no Constitucionalismo Contemporâneo e analisa a atualidade do modelo Kelsiano de controle de constitucionalidade. O Constitucionalismo Contemporâneo requalifica a discussão iniciada nas primeiras décadas do século XX com Kelsen e Carl Schmitt, quanto à necessidade do estabelecimento do controle de constitucionalidade das leis e atos normativos. Essa análise perpassa pela compreensão da atuação de uma Corte Constitucional, sob a ótica do modelo de Hans Kelsen e com base no referencial teórico de Lenio Streck. Assim, por meio de uma metodologia dedutiva e analítica crítica, define-se a jurisdição constitucional como técnica político-jurídica de garantia do constitucionalismo, desde as exigências negativas de intervenção até a função contemporânea positiva de afirmação da democracia e dos direitos fundamentais. A análise da jurisdição constitucional de Kelsen é apresentada como técnica adequada de controle de constitucionalidade, levando em conta o protagonismo do Poder Judiciário nesse contexto político-jurídico.

Published: December 2022

Mastitis is the inflammation of the udder characterized by pathological changes in the mammary gland tissue. The most common treatment regimen involves administration of antibiotics depending upon culture and antibiotic sensitivity test. Culture and antibiotic sensitivity testing requires a minimum of 2-3 days, thus search for alternative tests to quicken identification of causative agent has gained lot of focus. In mastitis, milk is the ideal sample for the identification of causative agents as well as for performing DNA based tests such as PCR. Milk though easy to collect, harbour certain inhibitors affecting isolation of DNA. Also, the DNA extracted might contain certain associated ions which interfere in PCR. In the present study, DNA was extracted from milk by initially treating it with SDS and triton and later DNA was extracted using standard phenol chloroform method (M1). The efficiency of extraction by this method (M1) was compared with that of a kit (Power food microbial DNA isolation kit) based method (M2). The DNA extracted from both the methods was evaluated and compared among each other using genus specific PCR for E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. along with various antibiotic resistance genes present in these bacteria. From the study, it could be concluded that DNA could be extracted successfully using SDS and triton method directly from the milk more efficiently and is cost effective when compared with kit-based method.

The present experiment was conducted on standardisation and categorization of Indigenous Microorganisms (IMOs) in India for its future application as inoculum in inoculated deep litter housing of pigs. The cultivation of IMOs was accomplished in four steps, which involved use of half cooked rice, sugar sources, rice bran and soil at 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th steps, respectively. The cultivated IMOs at the end of each step from 1st to 4th were named accordingly as IMO-1, IMO-2, IMO-3 and IMO-4. The cultivation of IMOs was done in three groups based on the major sources of energy at 2nd step as control (brown sugar), treatment 1 (Jaggery) and treatment 2 (Molasses). The IMO-1 was obtained after 7 days which was confirmed based on the appearance of white coloured fungal mycelium in all the groups. The IMO-4 was considered as the final product of cultivation process which was confirmed by the presence of fungal mycelium interwoven in the soil. IMO-4 stage was further categorised in different microbial groups based on laboratory examination and only two categories of microbes were witnessed namely bacteria and fungi, none of yeast were found in those inoculums. Out of four types of bacterial colonies, IMB-3 confirmed the presence of Paenibacillus amylolyticus and IMB-4 as Enterococcus casseliflavus. The standardisation of IMOs as inoculum for deep litter housing was performed first time in India.

Published: December 2022

The present study was conducted on testis of 20 buffalo fetuses ranging from 2.5 cm to 20 cm curved crown rump length (CVRL). The tissues were processed for light and transmission electron microscopic study. The intertubular tissue was filled with primitive mesenchymal cells, developing Leydig cells and blood vessels. At 7.5 cm CVRL, some of the interstitial mesenchymal cells started developing into foetal Leydig cells and were androgen positive. These cells were characterized by their polygonal shape, eosinophilic cytoplasm and darkly stained spherical nucleus with prominent nucleoli at 9.5 cm CVRL. At 15.5 cm CVRL, the fetal Leydig cells were present in groups around the interstitial blood vessels, which increased in number and size at 20 cm CVRL and decreased afterwards. By TEM, three types of Leydig cells were observed at 14.5 cm CVRL as stem Leydig cells (Leydig cell A), progenitor Leydig cells (Leydig cell B) and immature Leydig cells (Leydig cell C). Leydig cell A had elongated nucleus with a very thin rim of cytoplasm. Leydig cell B had oval nucleus with comparatively larger amount of cytoplasm. Leydig cell C had adult Leydig cell like features and had round to oval nucleus with lager amount of cytoplasm. The cytoplasm of these cells contained mitochondria with elongated cristae, Golgi apparatus and very few lipid inclusions. The number and size of Leydig cells increased during early prenatal life.
Trend resistant designs for bioequivalence assessment of veterinary medicinal products
Authors: SAURAV SUMEET , VARGHESE CINI , JAGGI SEEMA
Published: December 2022

In veterinary medicinal trials, formulations are to be applied to the animals sequentially over time due to scarcity of homogeneous and healthy animals for experimentation, leading to carryover effects. Further, in such trials, many a times it may be required to compare some new (test) formulations to a previously well established (reference) formulation. Bioequivalence trials, using designs balanced for carryover effects, are advantageous for such situations. As experimental units are used sequentially over periods, there is a possibility that a systematic effect, or trend, influences the observations in addition to the experimental unit effect, formulation effect and carryover effect. Condition have been derived for designs for bioequivalence trials balanced for carryover effects to be trend-free and a method of constructing a class of such designs had also been developed. When trend effects are suspected, trend free designs are to be selected for experimentation and data need to be analyzed accordingly.

Published: December 2022

The present investigation was carried out with an objective of studying the mineral profile in abandoned cows affected by anestrus (N=83). Overall 83 abandoned cows kept in 18 Goshalas were diagnosed to be affected with anestrus. The macro minerals, i.e. calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and microminerals, viz. copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn) were estimated from plasma. Nutritional supplementation led to a successful recovery in 42.17% cows. Mineral profile suggested that inorganic phosphorus and copper concentration increased significantly in recovered anestrus cows. All other minerals also witnessed a non-significant increase in recovered as well as nonrecovered cows after treatment. In conclusion, anestrus could be successfully treated to an extent following nutritional supplementation.

Authors: DINESH KRISHANENDER , VERMA ARCHANA , GUPTA I D , DASH S K
Published: December 2022

Lactoferrin is one of the important candidate genes for mastitis resistance in dairy animals. The gene is located on Bos taurus autosome (BTA) 22 and consists of 17 exons spanning over 34.5 kb of genomic DNA. The present study was undertaken to identify allelic variant in exons 6 and 11 of lactoferrin gene and to analyze association with incidence of clinical mastitis in Murrah buffalo. The amplification of exons 6 and 11 of lactoferrin gene yielded 301 and 131 bp amplicon size. Comparison of nucleotide sequence of exonic region of lactoferrin gene with Bos taurus (NCBI accession number AC_000179.1) revealed 6 mutations; among them 3 were in coding DNA sequence and remaining 3 were in flanking intronic region. All these mutations were found in exon 6 and synonymous in nature without affecting the sequence of amino acid. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 301 bp amplicon using FokI restriction enzyme exhibited polymorphic pattern with two genotypes (AA and AB) with respective frequency of 0.625 and 0.375. The frequencies of two alleles, A and B were estimated as 0.81 and 0.19 respectively. RE Hpy188I and HinfI used for digestion of exon 11 had exhibited monomorphic pattern. The chi-square (χ2) analysis revealed significant association between incidence of clinical mastitis and genetic variant of exon 6 and animals with AA genotype were found to be less susceptible to mastitis. The findings indicate potential scope for incorporation of lactoferrin gene in selection and breeding of Murrah buffaloes for improved genetic resistance to mastitis.

Published: December 2022

Lamb survival till first 28 days of life is critical as it increases the chances of economic gain in flock. Objective of the current study was to assess the incidence of neonatal mortality in lambs born in arid region of India and genetic and non-genetic factors affecting it. The present study was conducted using the data on 4,137 Magra and 4,595 Marwari sheep over 17 years (1999 to 2016). Incidence of neonatal mortality was very low in Magra (1.04%) and Marwari (2.48%) sheep, respectively in semi-intensive management system. Year and seasonal variation was observed for neonatal losses. Males had lower odds of survival as compared to females. Odds of survival were low if the lambs were born to dams of low body weight and in their first parity. It was observed that the lamb survival can be improved if due care of the lambs born with low birth weight (<2 kg) is taken. The heritability estimate was moderate in Magra sheep (0.17), indicating further scope for genetic improvement for lamb survival through selection. However, for Marwari sheep, the total heritability was 0.02, thus limiting the scope for selection. Arid region favoured the lamb survival. Hardiness of the Magra and Marwari sheep, their high lamb survival along with standard production potential is indicative of the good genetics of these sheep along with better management practices adopted at arid regional campus, thus reflecting better sheep welfare practices.
Best management practices for doubling oilseed productivity: Aiming India for self reliance in edible oil
Authors: RATHORE S S , SHEKHAWAT KAPILA , SINGH R K , UPADHYAY P K , SINGH V K
Published: December 2022

India is one of the largest producer, consumer and importer of edible oilseeds in the world. The diverse agroclimatic conditions favour cultivation of all primary and secondary sources of oilseeds including tree borne oilseeds (TBO) in India. Kharif oilseed crops are important, which determine the total oilseed production in the country up to a large extent. Flawed agronomic practices, high incidence of biotic and abiotic stresses are the reasons for overall low oilseed productivity in the country. The impact of stresses can be minimized through improved agronomic practices. Further, best agronomic practices are complementary to harness genetic yield potential of high yielding varieties. In long run the soil test- crop response based soil fertility management and use of Sesbania green manuring, crop residue management led to higher seed yield. Crop establishment methods like furrow irrigated raised bed (FIRB), Zero tillage (ZT) with residue retention also affect growth and productivity. The micro-irrigation with proper irrigation scheduling, not only improve seed and oil yield but also saves substantial irrigation water. Sunflower, groundnut, sesame crops are potential options during summer fallow in irrigated areas, likewise short duration improved varieties of mustard create promising opportunities under rice fallow areas. Oil palm is also gaining popularity and has huge untapped potential in India. The genetic improvement, along with best package of practices and their adoption in larger areas by the farmers will certainly be a step forward to achieve self-reliance in oilseed crops.

Published: December 2022

Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour. ) is an evergreen subtropical fruit tree species of Sapindaceae family with a long cultivation tradition in South East Asia. Between July to September of 2014 and 2015, leaves of longan trees were found infected by green algae at experimental farm of National Research Centre on Litchi, Muzaffarpur, Bihar (India). The symptoms of the disease appeared on the upper leaf surface as dark gray to reddish-rust coloured lesions, slightly raised with a velvet-like appearance. The disease incidence among leaves was 28. 4-57. 3% while percent disease severity index was 13. 3 to 20. 2. The algal thalli were isolated and cultured successfully on potato dextrose agar and Bold's basal medium but there was no development of sporangiophores and sporangia in culture. In pathogenicity test, inoculums either from naturally infected leaves or from pure culture of algal filaments could not reproduce typical symptom of the disease even up to three months of inoculation. Based on the leaf symptom and morphological characteristics, the pathogen was identified as Cephaleuros virescens Kunze. To our knowledge, this is the first report of leaf spots caused by Cephaleuros virescens on longan trees in India.

Published: December 2022

Efficacy of different entomopathogenic fungi (EPF), viz. Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium (=Verticillium) lecanii and neonicotinoid insecticides (Imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam) were evaluated alone and their 1:1 combination against Lipaphis erysimi prevalent in vegetable ecosystem. Among the entomopathogenic fungi, L. lecanii was found most promising, registering lowest median lethal time (LT50) of 41.46 h, 44.09 h and 44.83 h during the period of 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively; followed by B. bassiana (44.07 h, 53.22 h and 51.60 h) and M. anisopliae (46.86 h, 48.83 h and 48.99 h). Amongst the two neonicotinoids, Thiamethoxam was found more efficacious than the Imidacloprid. Blending of L. lecanii and Thiamethoxam at half of their recommended dose took lowest (13.39 h, 15.66 h and 17.41 h during 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively) lethal time to kill the 50% test population followed by B. bassiana + Thiamethoxam (15.86 h, 17.72 h, 20.86 h) and M. anisopliae + Thiamethoxam (18.28 h, 19.69 h, 21.86 h). Combinations of these entomopathogenic fungi and neonicotinoid insecticides had co-toxicity co-efficient values >1 and lower LT50 values than each of their individual indicating the compatibility amongst them. Co-application of these EPF with sub-lethal concentration of neonicotinoids could not only be a green ecofriendly option against this sucking pest but also able to minimize the chemical insecticides load in the environment.

Published: December 2022

An experiment was carried out to analyze genetic divergence through multivariate analysis based on D2 and principal component analysis (PCA) for 24 yield contributing traits among 67 muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes from 3 horticultural groups. The 67 genotypes were grouped into 15 distinct clusters. Cluster I consisted of 27 exotic lines from inodorous and cantalupensis group followed by cluster XIVwith 14 genotypes. Majority of genotypes of cluster XIV were developed in India except 4 exotic lines. The remaining13 clusters comprised of only 2 genotypes each and thus clustering pattern indicated enough genetic divergence in the germplasm under study. The highest value of intra cluster distance (43. 68) was found for cluster XV with 2 genotypes followed by XIV (38. 35) possessing 14 genotypes and cluster I (31. 07) having 27 genotypes. The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster XV and XIV (42. 24), followed by the cluster XV and XI (40. 70) and cluster XV and VI (40. 48). The first 3 principal components accounted for majority (53. 77%) of the total variation. The traits which contributed positively to PC1 were days to first male flower opening, average fruit weight, fruit length, cavity length and yield per plant. The high yielding muskmelon genotypes with better fruit quality traits like DM-31, DM-145, DM-159 and DM-162 from inodorous group of Cluster I and Pusa Madhuras (Cluster VII), Kashi Madhu, Punjab Sunheri, Hara Madhu (Cluster XIV) from cantalupensis group should be utilized for hybrid development between two horticultural groups to incorporate theyield and desirable fruit quality traits from both groups.

In the present study, experiments were undertaken during 2016-2017 to examine the effect of phosphorus application on pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Arkel and Azad P-1. Four levels of phosphorus (0, 60, 90, 120 kg/ha) keeping the N at K dose constant at 25 and 50 kg ha-1 respectively with 3 replications were used in two way factorial analysis. The effects of different doses of phosphorus were judged on growth, yield and quality attributes. Evaluation of comparative performance of pea varieties Arkel and Azad P-1 in the climatic condition of Western plain zones of Uttar Pradesh suggested better performance of Azad P-1 over Arkel. However, on studying the interaction between NPK levels and Variety, Azad P-1 with P @ 120 kg ha-1 registered maximum pod yield (9.24 kg/plant) than Arkel (8.55 kg/plant). Results revealed that the performance of pea variety Azad P-1 was better than the variety Arkel. The higher number of pods per plant (17.94), weight of pods per plant (124.86 g), number of grains per pod (7.72) and pod yield per plot (7.79 kg) was recorded in the variety Arkel than Azad P-1. The study also revealed that ascorbic acid as well as total sugar content in harvested pods showed a declining trend with higher level of phosphorus irrespective of variety. Thus, pea variety Azad P-1 was found to be performing better with phosphorus application of 120 kg/ha in terms of growth, yield and quality attributes. This variety can hence be recommended for integration in horticulture based farming systems of Western Uttar Pradesh.

Wilt is the most common disease encountered in tomato crop. To devise an eco-friendly management module against F. oxysporum f. spp. solani, the causal organism, native isolates of Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from agricultural fields. The present experiment was conducted at SKUAST-Jammu between 2014-15. Biochemical screening of isolates revealed that antimicrobial compounds, viz. 2,4-DAPG and siderophore production were maximum in isolate PS 1 (217. 70 Î¼g/ml and 32. 25 Î¼g/ml) and HCN production was highest in isolate PS 6 (0. 11 Î¼g/ml). Isolates PS 1 to PS 20 produced ferrate hydroxamate type siderophores whereas PS 21 to PS 30 produced catecholate type siderophores. Growth promoting substances, viz. IAA, GA and phosphorus solubilization were maximum in PS 7 (583. 63 Î¼g/ml), PS 15 (652. 07 Î¼g/ml) and PS 30 (358. 25 Î¼g/ml) respectively. TLC of 2,4-DAPG extracted from various isolates showed Rf values in the range of 0. 7 to 0. 89, close to the relative mobilty (Rf) of phloroglucinol (0. 89). PS 1 reported highest seed germination (75%) with vigour index of 1275. Pot experiment revealed that isolate PS 4 increased plant height, plant growth parameters and further reduced wilt incidence (34. 25%) as compared to the seedling treated with Fusarium oxysporum (60%).

Published: December 2022

Potassium (K) plays an important role in growth, yield, quality, osmotic regulation, ionic balance and stress resistance of crops. Fertilizer application in Indian agriculture has remained largely skewed towards nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), while K remained neglected for over last five decades. On this background, the present study evaluates the soil K fractions under two contrasting land use systems, viz. rice-fallow and forest under three soil depths (0-15, 15-30 and 30-60 cm) and categorisation of soils based on exchangeable K (Exch-K) and non-exchangeable K (NEK) with the strategy for proper K management. Results indicated that the soils of rice-fallow land use system were present in a category which is low in both Exch-K and NEK and as a result it requires adequate K fertilization. Both Exch-K and NEK were higher in the forest soils as compared to rice-fallow soils in the three soil depths. The ratio of NEK/Exch-K was higher in the forest than rice-fallow land use system. The ratio was increased with increase in depth in the forest land use system which indicates that it has more potential to supply subsoil K in long term. This categorisation of soils into different groups provides a comprehensive assessment of K availability for different land use systems and better recommendation of K fertilizer for efficient K management.

Published: December 2022

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the worldâ€™s most widely cultivated cereal crop. It is commonly eaten in both time meals in major wheat growing states. Field experiments were conducted at eight KVKs of Bihar during year 2016- 2018 based on different agro ecological situations. In the field experiment it was found that early wheat sowing has emerged as the most important variable for increasing the grain yield (5 t/ha) than late sown. Data shows that instead of skipping irrigation at grain filling stage, one irrigation applied at grain filling stage increased the wheat grain yield by 13% when the sowing was done with zero tillage and 16% when sowing was done by conventional method. With irrigation, the average grain yield of wheat with zero tillage was 5.30 t/ha compared to 4.54 t/ha under conventional tillage. To trace the impact of different herbicide application technologies, it was found multiple boom nozzle sfitted with flat fan nozzles and tractor mounted sprayer provided similar wheat grain yield (5.1-5.3 t/ha) than hollow cone nozzles with grain yield of 4.6 t/ha. It was referred that grain yield of wheat were 4.51, 4.60 and 4.38 t/ha following the application of glyphosate at 24, 48 h or 7-10 days before seeding wheat, respectively. Total 304 replications have been conducted to study the effect of ZT on the productivity of wheat sown at different times and was found that ZT wheat (HD-2967) planted from 1-15 November gives highest yield than other sowing date.

AquaCrop (v4. 0) model has been commonly used to simulate the crop yield under irrigated environments, but this model has not yet been calibrated and validated for simulating the yield of pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) under in-situ water conservation. Thus, a three year (2011âˆ’13) field experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi with six in-situ water conservation treatments,viz. trench-cum-bund (TCB: 20 cm depth of trench, 20 cm height of bund), bund (30 cm height), ridge-and-furrow (R&F: 15 cm height), skip-row (SR: 3:1) planting, basin-tillage (BT: 45 cm Ã— 45 cm) and control (no-water conservation). Calibration of AquaCrop (v 4. 0) model for pearlmillet grain yield and total soil moisture content was done using experimental data of 2011 and validated separately for 2012 (deficit rainfall year) and 2013 (excess rainfall year) data. For the year (2012), absolute prediction errors of grain yield were 1.7, 8.7, 14.1, 14.9, 3.3 and 7.3% for BT, R&F, TCB, bunds, SR and control, respectively, whereas Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency, root mean square error and coefficient of determination were 0.95, 0.07 and 0.96, respectively during calibration period and 0.73, 0.15 and 0.93 during validation period of deficit year. Thus, model predictions were satisfactoryfor less rainfall (<600 mm) year. Coefficient of determination R2 (0.4 to 1.0) was better for soil moisture simulation during dry-spell periods and for BT practice. The validated AquaCrop model can be used for prediction of pearlmillet yield and soil moisture under different water conservation practices in a semi-arid environment.

Undang-Undang Republik Indonesia Nomor 2 Tahun 2012 tentang Pengadaan Tanah Bagi Pembangunan Untuk Kepentingan Umum berikut peraturan pelaksananya, telah menetapkan upaya hukum apa saja yang dapat dilakukan oleh pihak yang berhak dalam proses pengadaan tanah. Dalam upaya hukum tersebut telah dibatasi dengan tenggang waktu dan tanpa ada upaya hukum banding sehingga keberatan terhadap putusan pengadilan negeri langsung mengajukan permohonan Kasasi. Putusan Kasasi juga merupakan putusan akhir dan final dan terhadap putusan tersebut tidak dapat dilakukan upaya hukum peninjauan kembali. Dengan demikian pihak-pihak yang terlibat dalam proses pengadaan tanah memiliki kepastian hukum, dimana jika terdapat keberatan sudah dapat diperhitungkan tenggang waktu penyelesaiannya, hal ini juga mempertimbangkan waktu pelaksanaan pembangunan bagi kepentingan umum. Profesionalisme hakim yang termanifestasi dalam putusan-putusanyang dibuatnya tersebut sangat dipengaruhi oleh: penguasaan atas ilmuhukum, kemampuan berpikir yuridik, kemahiran yuridik, dan kesadaranserta komitmen profesional. Penguasaan atas Ilmu Hukum, akan dapat melihat bagaimana pengetahuan, penguasaan, serta pengembangan secarasistematik, metodik dan rasional atas asas-asas, kaidah-kaidah, dan/atauaturan-aturan hukum.

Seorang guru pendidikan anak usia dini (PAUD) semestinya mendapatkan apresiasi lebih, baik dari fasilitas maupun honor, karena guru PAUD mempunyai tugas dan tanggungjawab yang besar dalam memberikan Pendidikan pada fase fondasi ini. Pada kenyataannya, honor guru PAUD, khususnya di wilayah terpencil hilir Sungai Barito sangatlah minim. Minimnya penghasilan guru PAUD menjadi salah satu alasan peneliti dalam melaksanakan pengabdian kepada masyarakat tentang pemberdayaan entrepreneurial skill bagi guru PAUD di wilayah terpencil hilir sungai Barito. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini mengadopsi strategi ABCD. Strategi ini dibangun di atas aset yang sudah ditemukan di masyarakat kemudian memobilisasi individu, asosiasi, dan institusi untuk bersama-sama membangun aset mereka. Pendampingan dirancang dalam 5 fase, yaitu pengkajian, persiapan, perencanaan kegiatan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahapan, yaitu 1) pembentukan komunitas dan pembentukan programnya, 2) seminar wirausaha, food literacy dan workshop pengolahan hasil laut, 3) pendampingan produksi, pengemasan, promosi, pemasaran dan kerjasama. Dengan pengabdian ini dicapai tiga target, yaitu: 1) terjadinya perubahan mindset guru-guru PAUD dalam memanfaatkan hasil alam melalui kegiatan wirausaha, 2) berkembangnya kompetensi guru-guru PAUD dalam mengelola komunitas wirausaha dan skill dalam mengolah hasil laut, dan 3) berjalannya program komunitas dalam memproduksi dan memasarkan olahan hasil laut.

Authors: ÖKSÜZ Kerim Emre , ŞEREFLİŞAN Hülya
Published: December 2022

In this study, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are used for the microstructure characterisation of Eobania vermiculata samples collected from Iskenderun region. The shells of land snails are discarded as waste; however, they are qualified materials with multiple use areas. To substantiate this proposition, an attempt was made to elucidate the physical and chemical properties of the shells of chocolate band snail, E. vermiculata. SEM observations indicated that nacre crystals are always laminated aragonite, usually presenting sharp edges. Nacre crystallites which pile up into columns vertically abreast aligned observed. The crystals are about 390-155 nm thick, and they form stacks along a fixed spacing, filled with biological matter. The XRD and FTIR observations revealed the dominance of the aragonite form of the calcium carbonate crystal in the microstructures of each snail shell with the occurrence of different shell surface functional groups. Thus, further exploration of the shell inclusive of the organic components is required to promote its possible use as a biocomposite. Nonetheless, the present study provides an overview of physical and chemical characteristics of the land snail shells and inlight their potential use in different areas in the perspective of sustainability.

Published: December 2022

Infrastructure has always been a fundamental driver of long-term economic growth, but in recent decades information and communication technology (ICT) has supported and accelerated the growth of the global economy in ways beyond the imagining of our ancestors. We examine the role of ICT infrastructure in facilitating labor markets' access and remittance flows for workers from the Kyrgyz Republic. Using a combination of traditional high frequency macroeconomic data and real time internet search information from Google Trends, we take a novel approach to explaining the inflow of remittances to a developing country. In the first attempt to model remittance behavior with GTI data in this context, we use a gravity model. We also attempt to account for both origin and destination labor market conditions, using Kyrgyz language search words to identify both push and pull factors affecting migrant decisions.
Surfing on Mobile Phase, Part I: Origins of Mobile-Phase Composition Waves and Their Effects on Detector Baselines
Authors: Stoll Dwight R.
Published: December 2022

The most commonly used designs for modern liquid chromatography (LC) pumps produce mobile-phase streams with small short-term variations in mobile phase composition. Understanding the origin of these variations and their effects on chromatographic performance can help us develop high-performing methods. In this installment, we focus on the effect of these mobile-phase composition “waves” on detector baselines.
Modern Trends in Mixed-Mode Liquid Chromatography (LC) Columns
Authors: Bell David S.
Published: December 2022

Commercialization of columns that provide multiple modes of chromatographic separations have recently been on the rise. For example, combinations of retention modes, such as ion-exchange and reversed-phase, often enable the separation of complex mixtures of analytes not possible using single-mode columns. In this work, recent trends in what is often referred to as “mixed-mode” phase are investigated. Particular attention is paid to recent fundamental research, stationary phase development and design, and areas of application.
Flying High with Sensitivity and Selectivity: GC–MS to GC–MS/MS
Authors: Snow Nicholas H.
Published: December 2022

Mass spectrometry (MS), often termed mass selective detection, is the most powerful detector available for gas chromatography (GC). Multidimensional mass spectrometry (MS/MS) takes mass selective detection to another level on benchtop systems, offering both universal and selective detection along with low detection limits. In this installment of “GC Connections,” we review the fundamentals of MS/MS and how they relate to MS as a detector for GC. We see how using full-scan analyses can make the detector universal, and how, by using selected ion monitoring and multiple reaction monitoring, the detector can be so selective and noise-free that femtogram quantitative analysis is commonplace. We then examine some scenarios that should lead analysts to consider using GC–MS/MS to solve complex problems.

Published: December 2022

This study focuses on the empirical study on the acceptance in the working from home in the post pandemic in the new normal of working environment in Malaysia. The impact from the pandemic had observe the rise of the new trend in the working from home arrangement which had become the new norm in the corporate employees working approach. However, there is still lack of evidence to point out that the working from home is widely acceptance by the employees in Malaysia, especially with the lifted up on the restriction on the on the lockdown where returning to office become an option for the employees. The previous suggestion suggested that the work from home approach will become the new trend for the new normal where majority of the previous study did provide the suggestion indicating there will be significant relationship from the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use derived from the technology acceptance model (TAM) framework. This study will focus in the application of the quantitative research method which observe the data analysis using the sample size of 150 respondents selected from the target population among the working employees in Malaysia. The result from the findings of the study had shown only the perceived usefulness had been identified with supporting evidence to point out the significant in the relationship towards the employee’s acceptance in working from home but the perceived ease of use failed to show any existence of the evidence which suggest otherwise. The outcome of the study had provided significant contribution towards the corporate and academic where the research limitations and suggestion for the future research had been drawn to conclude the overall research study.
