Published: March 2024

The importance of education in the formation of quality human resources must be followed by the development of the quality of education available in each region. However, until now the development of education in Indonesia is still uneven. One of the government's efforts is to issue a regulation that requires every Indonesian citizen to complete 9 years of compulsory education. So educational services must be followed by good quality educational services as well. This will affect the level of public interest in completing the 9-year compulsory education. The purpose of this study was to determine the current level of education services at the relevant education offices, to be able to respond to community needs and services in the field. By analyzing community satisfaction, the government can improve the quality of education services. By referring to how much the policies and activities of public organizations are needed by the community. Accountability indicators are measured by the ability of officers to achieve service results and benefits, the ability of officers to demonstrate the level of achievement of predetermined targets, the ability of related human resources to carry out service tasks and the ability of officers to solve problems in educational services.

The current globalization has led Indonesian society to distort the nation’s character education. In fact, character education is a very important foundation of the nation and needs to be instilled early in chiidren, as well as in adolescents who are stepping into adulthood. The current changing conditions encourage students to have high and strong religiosity. With a strong religiosity, students can become a strong person who is not easily swayed by changing times. The Dzikir and Sholawat assembly at UNISBA , apart from being a medium for Dzikir and a medium for student character devalopment, is expected to be a medium for strengthening the religious character of students. The difference in attitude between students shows the difference between those who follow regularly and those who never follow at all. Therefore, one of the Applications is throught religious character building throught the Dzikir and Sholawat assembly for Students at UNISBA Blitar. A greet nation does not only rely on natural resources, but must also be supported by human resources that have a strong characte. Human resources will contribute to realizing the dignity of the nation. Globalization that is sweeping the nation today encourages people to have poor character. The impact of globalization with a relatively fast time causes culture to change completely. In the above case, character becomes very important in fortifying the nation’s generation to have a good personality. So that research on the formation of religious character in the nation’s next generation more narrowly in students is seen as very critical to be studied and researched compreshensively. This research will try to find the formation of religious character through the Dzikir and Sholawat assembly of UNISBA Blitar. This research uses a case type skinative approach.

Published: March 2024

Land is one of the fundamental sources of human life, ensuring human survival. Every individual who owns land requires proof of ownership, namely a land certificate, which is issued by the Land Office. Certificates can be issued upon land registration with the aim of providing protection and legal certainty to land rights holders. However, it is not uncommon for issues to arise with some land certificates, leading to legal disputes, such as Duplicate Certificates. The purpose of this research is to identify, analyze, and examine the issues in determining land rights holders in cases of Duplicate Certificates. This research employs an empirical legal research approach, conducted at the Land Office of the ATR/BPN in Klaten Regency. It is supported by literature review to obtain necessary data such as theories, doctrines, principles, and other legal provisions. Secondary legal sources used include textbooks, legal dictionaries, legal journals, and commentaries on court decisions, which are relevant to primary legal sources and aid in the analysis of this research. The findings of this research indicate that the issue arises when disputing parties fail to reach an agreement through mediation, leading to legal proceedings in court and ultimately, a binding legal decision.
Regional to global distributions, trends, and drivers of biogenic volatile organic compound emission from 2001 to 2020
Authors: Wang Hao , Liu Xiaohong , Wu Chenglai , Lin Guangxing
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are important precursors to ozone and secondary organic aerosols in the atmosphere, affecting air quality, clouds, and climate. However, the trend in BVOC emissions and driving factors for the emission changes in different geographic regions over the past 2 decades has remained unclear. Here, regional to global changes in BVOC emissions during 2001–2020 are simulated using the latest Model of Emission of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGANv3.2) with the input of time-varying satellite-retrieved vegetation and reanalysis meteorology data. Comparison of model simulations with the site observations shows that the model can reasonably reproduce the magnitude of isoprene and monoterpene emission fluxes. The spatial distribution of the modeled isoprene emissions is generally comparable to the satellite retrievals. The estimated annual average global BVOC emissions are 835.4 Tg yr−1 with the emissions from isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, and other BVOC comprised of 347.7, 184.8, 23.3, and 279.6 Tg yr−1, respectively. We find that the decrease in global isoprene emissions (−0.07 % per year) caused by the increase in CO2 concentrations (−0.20 % per year) is stronger than that caused by changes in vegetation (−0.03 % per year) and meteorological factors (0.15 % per year). However, regional disparities are large. Isoprene emissions increase significantly in Europe, East Asia, and South Asia (0.37 % per year–0.66 % per year). Half of the increasing trend is contributed by increased leaf area index (LAI) (maximum over 0.02 m2 m−2 yr−1) and tree cover. Changes in meteorological factors contribute to another half, with elevated temperature dominating in Europe and increased soil moisture dominating in East and South Asia. In contrast, in South America and Southeast Asia, shifts in vegetation type associated with the BVOC emission capacity, which partly results from the deforestation and agricultural expansion, decrease the BVOC emission and offset nearly half of the emission increase caused by changes in meteorological factors. Overall, isoprene emission increases by 0.35 % per year and 0.25 % per year in South America and Southeast Asia, respectively. In Central Africa, a decrease in temperature dominates the negative emission trend (−0.74 % per year). Global monoterpene emissions show a significantly increasing trend (0.34 % per year, 0.6 Tg yr−1) compared to that of isoprene (−0.07 % per year, −0.2 Tg yr−1), especially in strong greening hotspots. This is mainly because the monoterpene emissions are more sensitive to changes in LAI and are not subject to the inhibition effect of CO2. The findings highlight the important roles of vegetation cover and biomass, temperature, and soil moisture in modulating the temporal variations of global BVOC emissions in the past 2 decades.
Extension, development, and evaluation of the representation of the OH-initiated dimethyl sulfide (DMS) oxidation mechanism in the Master Chemical Mechanism (MCM) v3.3.1 framework
Authors: Jacob Lorrie Simone Denise , Giorio Chiara , Archibald Alexander Thomas
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Understanding dimethyl sulfide (DMS) oxidation can help us constrain its contribution to Earth's radiative balance. Following the discovery of hydroperoxymethyl thioformate (HPMTF) as a DMS oxidation product, a range of new experimental chamber studies have since improved our knowledge of the oxidation mechanism of DMS and delivered detailed chemical mechanisms. However, these mechanisms have not undergone formal intercomparisons to evaluate their performance. This study aimed to synthesise the recent experimental studies and develop a new, near-explicit, DMS mechanism, through a thorough literature review. A simple box model was then used with the mechanism to simulate a series of chamber experiments and evaluated through comparison with four published mechanisms. Our modelling shows that the mechanism developed in this work outperformed the other mechanisms on average when compared to the experimental chamber data, having the lowest fractional gross error for 8 out of the 14 DMS oxidation products studied. A box model of a marine boundary layer was also run, demonstrating that the deviations in the mechanisms seen when comparing them against chamber data are also prominent under more atmospherically relevant conditions. Although this work demonstrates the need for further experimental work, the mechanism developed in this work has been evaluated against a range of experiments, which validate the mechanism and reduce the bias from individual experiments. Our mechanism provides a good basis for a near-explicit DMS oxidation mechanism that would include other initiation reactions (e.g. halogens) and can be used to compare the performance of reduced mechanisms used in global models.
Lower-cost eddy covariance for CO2 and H2O fluxes over grassland and agroforestry

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Eddy covariance (EC) measurements can provide direct and non-invasive ecosystem measurements of the exchange of energy, water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). However, conventional eddy covariance (CON-EC) setups (ultrasonic anemometer and infrared gas analyser) can be expensive, which recently led to the development of lower-cost eddy covariance (LC-EC) setups. In the current study we test the performance of a LC-EC setup for CO2 and H2O flux measurements at an agroforestry and adjacent grassland site in a temperate ecosystem in northern Germany. The closed-path LC-EC setup was compared with a CON-EC setup using an enclosed-path gas analyser (LI-7200, LI-COR Inc., Lincoln, NE, USA). The LC-EC CO2 fluxes were lower compared to CON-EC by 7–13 % (R2 = 0.91–0.95) and the latent heat fluxes were higher by 2–3 % in 2020 and 23 % in 2021 (R2 = 0.84–0.90). The large difference between latent heat fluxes in 2021, seems to be a consequence of the lower LE fluxes measured by the CON-EC. Due to the slower response sensors of the LC-EC setup, the (co)spectra of the LC-EC were more attenuated in the high-frequency range compared to the CON-EC. This stronger attenuation of the LC-EC requires a larger spectral correction and as a consequence larger differences between spectral correction factors of different spectral correction methods. At the agroforestry site where the flux tower was taller compared to the grassland, the attenuation was lower, because the cospectrum peak and energy-containing eddies shift to lower frequencies which the LC-EC can measure. With the LC-EC and CON-EC systems was shown that the agroforestry site had a 2.3 times higher carbon uptake compared to the grassland site and both had an equal evapotranspiration when simultaneously measured for one month. Our results show that LC-EC has the potential to measure EC fluxes at various land-use systems for approximately 25 % of the costs of a CON-EC system.

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Microbial release of CO2 from soils to the atmosphere reflects how environmental conditions affect the stability of soil organic matter (SOM), especially in massive organic-rich ecosystems like the peatlands and grasslands of the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP). Radiocarbon (14C) is an important tracer of the global carbon cycle and can be used to understand SOM dynamics through the estimation of time lags between carbon fixation and respiration, often assessed with metrics such as age and transit time. In this study, we incubated peatland and grassland soils at four temperature (5, 10, 15 and 20 °C) and two water-filled pore space (WFPS) levels (60 % and 95 %) and measured the 14C signature of bulk soil and heterotrophic respired CO2. We compared the relation between the Δ14C of the bulk soil and the Δ14CO2 of respired carbon as a function of temperature and WFPS for the two soils. To better interpret our results, we used a mathematical model to analyse how the calculated number of pools, decomposition rates of carbon (k), transfer (α) and partitioning (γ) coefficients affect the Δ14C bulk and Δ14CO2 relation, with their respective mean age and mean transit time. From our incubations, we found that 14C values in bulk and CO2 from peatland were significantly more depleted (old) than from grassland soil. Our results showed that changes in temperature did not affect the Δ14C values of heterotrophic respired CO2 in either soil. However, changes in WFPS had a small effect on the 14CO2 in grassland soils and a significant influence in peatland soils, where higher WFPS levels led to more depleted Δ14CO2. In our models, the correspondence between Δ14C, age and transit time highly depended on the internal dynamics of the soil (k, α, γ and number of pools) as well as on model structure. We observed large differences between slow and fast cycling systems, where low values of decomposition rates modified the Δ14C values in a non-linear pattern due to the incorporation of modern carbon (14C bomb) in the soil. We concluded that the stability of carbon in the peatland and grassland soils of the QTP depends strongly on the direction of change in moisture and how it affects the rates of SOM decomposition, while temperature regulates the number of fluxes. Current land cover modification (desiccation) in Zoigê peatlands and climate change occurring on the QTP might largely increase CO2 fluxes along with the release of old carbon to the atmosphere potentially shifting carbon sinks into sources.
Resolving heterogeneous fluxes from tundra halves the growing season carbon budget

Published: March 2024

Abstract. Landscapes are often assumed to be homogeneous when interpreting eddy covariance fluxes, which can lead to biases when gap-filling and scaling up observations to determine regional carbon budgets. Tundra ecosystems are heterogeneous at multiple scales. Plant functional types, soil moisture, thaw depth, and microtopography, for example, vary across the landscape and influence net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) fluxes. With warming temperatures, Arctic ecosystems are changing from a net sink to a net source of carbon to the atmosphere in some locations, but the Arctic's carbon balance remains highly uncertain. In this study we report results from growing season NEE and CH4 fluxes from an eddy covariance tower in the Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta in Alaska. We used footprint models and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to unmix eddy covariance observations into constituent land-cover fluxes based on high-resolution land-cover maps of the region. We compared three types of footprint models and used two land-cover maps with varying complexity to determine the effects of these choices on derived ecosystem fluxes. We used artificially created gaps of withheld observations to compare gap-filling performance using our derived land-cover-specific fluxes and traditional gap-filling methods that assume homogeneous landscapes. We also compared resulting regional carbon budgets when scaling up observations using heterogeneous and homogeneous approaches. Traditional gap-filling methods performed worse at predicting artificially withheld gaps in NEE than those that accounted for heterogeneous landscapes, while there were only slight differences between footprint models and land-cover maps. We identified and quantified hot spots of carbon fluxes in the landscape (e.g., late growing season emissions from wetlands and small ponds). We resolved distinct seasonality in tundra growing season NEE fluxes. Scaling while assuming a homogeneous landscape overestimated the growing season CO2 sink by a factor of 2 and underestimated CH4 emissions by a factor of 2 when compared to scaling with any method that accounts for landscape heterogeneity. We show how Bayesian MCMC, analytical footprint models, and high-resolution land-cover maps can be leveraged to derive detailed land-cover carbon fluxes from eddy covariance time series. These results demonstrate the importance of landscape heterogeneity when scaling carbon emissions across the Arctic.
El Niño Enhances Snowline Rise and Ice Loss on the World's Largest Tropical Ice Cap
Authors: Lamantia Kara A. , Larocca Laura J. , Thompson Lonnie G. , Mark Bryan G.
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Tropical glaciers are essential water resources in the central Andes as vital water resources and crucial climate indicators, currently undergoing rapid retreat. However, understanding their vulnerability to the combined effects of persistent warming, short-term climate phenomena, and interannual fluctuations remains limited. Here we automate mapping of key mass balance parameters on the Quelccaya Ice Cap (QIC), the world’s largest tropical ice cap. Using Landsat's near-infrared (NIR) band, we analyze snow cover area (SCA) and total area (TA) and calculate the Accumulation Area Ratio (AAR) and Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) over nearly 40 years (1985–2023). Between 1985 and 2022, the QIC lost ~46 % and ~34 % of its SCA and TA, respectively. We show that the QIC’s loss in SCA and rise in ELA are exacerbated by El Niño events, which are strongly correlated to the preceding wet season’s Ocean Niño Index (ONI). We observe lower levels of correlation to more recent El Niño events as anthropogenic climatic impacts overwhelm the natural forcing and continue to exacerbate loss at the QIC.
Regionalization and its impact on global runoff simulations: A case study using the global hydrological model WaterGAP3 (v 1.0.0)
Authors: Kupzig Jenny , Kupzig Nina , Floerke Martina
Published: March 2024

Abstract. Valid simulation results from global hydrological models (GHMs), such as WaterGAP3, are essential to detecting hotspots or studying patterns in climate change impacts. However, the lack of worldwide monitoring data makes it challenging to adapt GHMs' parameters to enable such valid simulations globally. Therefore, regionalization is necessary to estimate parameters in ungauged basins. This study presents new regionalization methods for WaterGAP3 and aims to provide insights into selecting a suitable regionalization method and evaluating its impact on the simulation. Our results suggest that machine learning-based methods may be too flexible for regionalizing WaterGAP3 due to a significant performance loss between training and testing. In contrast, the most basic regionalization method (using the concept of spatial proximity) outperforms most of the developed regionalization methods and a pre-defined benchmark-to-beat in an ensemble of split-sample tests. The method selection, whether spatial proximity-based or regression-based, has a greater impact on the regionalization than the specific details on how the method is applied. In particular, the descriptor selection plays a subsidiary role when at least a subset of selected descriptors contains relevant information. Additionally, our research has shown that regionalization causes spatially varying uncertainty for ungauged regions. For example, India and Indonesia are particularly affected by higher uncertainty. The impact of regionalization in ungauged areas propagates through the water system, e.g., one water balance component changed by approximately 2400 km3 yr-1 on a global scale, which is in the range of inter-model differences. The magnitude of the impact of regionalization depends on the variability in regionalized values and the region's sensitivity for the analysed component.
Second harmonic electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging reveal metallic lithium depositions in Li-ion batteries

Published: March 2024

Abstract. We have investigated the metallic lithium particles nucleation following lithiation and delithiation steps of the graphite electrode using X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Metallic lithium aggregates like dendrites and/or filaments which are formed during electrochemical cycling on the graphite anode are complex structures which may lead to internal short-circuit and safety issues. Understanding and following, in real conditions, this nucleation process is necessary to improve the development of Li-ion batteries. The complexity to detect metallic lithium structures inside Li-ion batteries depends on the number of EPR lines and their linewidth. The presence of lithiated graphite phases affects the detection of micrometric Li-metal elements. Herein, we report a new approach using cw-EPR spectroscopy and imaging combining the first and the second harmonic detection schemes to provide evidence of the metallic lithium aggregates nucleation in these negative electrodes. Although the first harmonic gives all the EPR signals present in the sample, it is found that the second harmonic EPR signal is mainly sensitive to metallic lithium depositions.

El estudio del metabolismo social permite comprender e identificar por medio del análisis del flujo de materia y energía las relaciones sociales emergentes; sin embargo, un factor que en la mayoría de los casos queda relegado es la dimensión social de las relaciones simbólicas (González y Toledo, 2014). En el caso de la actividad alfarera de Metepec, ha sido posible identificar una serie de factores económicos, políticos, socioculturales y ambientales que inciden en la elaboración y pervivencia de la alfarería en la realidad actual. Por ello, este capítulo se ha planteado analizar los factores contextuales del metabolismo social de la actividad artesanal alfarera en Metepec, con la finalidad de comprender la situación actual y los desafíos que enfrenta para su continuidad. Para ello, se realizó una investigación documental diacrónica y sincrónica sobre los factores contextuales de la actividad artesanal, como el devenir de la alfarería, las representaciones culturales y saberes de ésta, aunado a la dinámica socioeconómica y a las condiciones físicas de su entorno. Se concluye que los factores intangibles han condicionado la forma en que se lleva a cabo el uso de la materia y energía dentro del metabolismo social de la actividad alfarera. Por lo anterior, se han identificado algunos de los factores que enmarcan la actividad y que sientan las bases para un análisis cualitativo que explique su desarrollo a lo largo del tiempo y la forma en que ha pervivido a pesar de los cambios socioterritoriales acontecidos a lo largo del proceso histórico del municipio.

Las Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANP) son un instrumento de política ambiental que resguardan los sitios de conservación para la biodiversidad; sin embargo, existen factores que amenazan su resiliencia. Dichos factores pueden ser cambios en el uso de suelo, aprovechamiento de recursos maderables y no maderables, cambio climático, tiraderos clandestinos, contaminación de cuerpos de agua, introducción de especies exóticas, bancos de material, carreteras y asentamientos humanos que ponen en riesgo su resiliencia aumentando su vulnerabilidad y afectando los servicios ecosistémicos que proveen. Bajo este contexto se realizó un análisis de caso del ANP denominado Parque Estatal “Isidro Fabela”, ubicado en los municipios de Atlacomulco, Jocotitlán y San Bartolo Morelos, México. El presente capítulo tuvo como objetivo analizar la resiliencia del ANP, los factores que principalmente la afectan, haciendo hincapié en la deforestación. La metodología se desarrolló con base en información cartográfica y documental, se caracterizó el ANP, se empleó trabajo de campo y se abordaron los conceptos de resiliencia y vulnerabilidad, se realizó la discusión de los hallazgos, para finalmente emitir las conclusiones, en las que se determinó que existe una disminución de resiliencia y aumento en la vulnerabilidad del ANP debido principalmente a la deforestación por cambio de uso de suelo y a los asentamientos humanos.

El punto uno del Acuerdo de Paz firmado entre el Estado colombiano y las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia-Ejército del Pueblo (FARC-EP) supuso generar estrategias que beneficiarán de forma prioritaria a los territorios más afectados por el conflicto, con mayores índices de pobreza, presencia de economías ilícitas y debilidad institucional. Por tal motivo, los Programas de Desarrollo con Enfoque Territorial (PDET) buscan dotar a las comunidades de espacios de diálogo, resolución de conflictos y herramientas de gestión, con el objetivo de construir un tejido social, donde los beneficiarios y la sociedad en general son corresponsables de la construcción de la cultura de paz y la sana convivencia de los actores. En ese contexto se expone en este capítulo la experiencia de relación bidireccional entre las comunidades de Tierra Grata y Pondores y la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias Básicas de la Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina, con la cual se ha podido desarrollar una metodología de trabajo dentro del Proyecto Ciudadelas de Paz®.

Korea's cultural city project has been promoted since 2019 by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. Although this project has been in progress for four years, there is little empirical analysis of performance or effectiveness. Chuncheon City was selected as a preliminary cultural city in 2019 and then designated as a cultural city in 2020. The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the social effects of the Chuncheon Cultural City project “Dosiga Salon”. This study established factors at the individual level(cultural enjoyment, happiness, domiciliation factors, awareness of exchange, connectedness), regional level(social capital), and project level(recognition of program effectiveness). In addition, the effect was estimated based on the accumulated experience of the program(frequency or period of program participation). The survey was conducted on 260 space owners, professionals, and residents who participated in this project, and social effects were analyzed through independent sample T-Test and one-way ANOVA. As a result of the analysis, the group that participated in this project frequently or for a long time generally had a higher average score than the group that did not participate, and the results were statistically significant. These results show that the cultural city project is leading to positive changes in local residents. The results were consistent with the goals of the cultural city project: ‘expanding the enjoyment of culture by local residents’ and ‘creating a local cultural foundation and strengthening capabilities’. Based on these results, we proposed the need to establish a mid-term plan for this project, develop community programs, and build social capital.

Twenty five novel Isoxazole heterocycles are synthesized and characterized by IR, NMR and CHN analysis. Physico-chemical characteristics also notified. In the first step chalcones are synthesized by the reaction of aromatic aldehydes with aromatic ketones in aqueous alcoholic alkaline medium. These are made to react with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and sodium acetate to prepare title compounds. All synthesized compounds analyzed for obedience of Lipinsky’s rule. Six of the compounds showed slight violation to oral dosage form suitability. Most of the compounds were solid in nature and gave good yield.
Out-of-Trend Statistics in The Pharmaceutical Industry: A Gain Leap in Assuring the Quality of The product

The primary goal of the evaluation is to ensure the product's quality by locating and managing "out of trend" (OOT) areas, utilising various techniques in the pharmaceutical sector. Regression control charts, time points, and slope control charts can all be used to identify or detect OOT. At the time of handling, OOT is divided into three categories: analytical alert, process control alert, and compliance alert. The electrical OOT Tracking Software from Ample Logic, created using low-code technology, is used to manage OOT. Identification of OOT stability results is an increasingly important topic in the pharmaceutical industry. In a perfect world, finding or detecting an OOT would be easy. However, an oversimplified system might not be sensitive enough to detect a genuine OOT. It should be chosen based on how the approach would impact the parameter being evaluated. This article outlines several tactics, such as how to recognise an unexpected single result or unusual variance. When numerous tests and time points call for OOT constraints, OOT detection can be a difficult problem. Additionally, it includes components and software that help manage OOT discoveries.
