Työstäkieltäytymisen feministisestä potentiaalista
Authors: Yli-Malmi Katariina
Published: March 2023

Kapitalismissa työ on normi. Työssäkäynti on luonnollista, koko elämä hahmottuu siitä käsin. Työn ulkopuolinen oleminen sitä vastoin on ka­pitalismille ohimenevä ei-olemisen tila. Tämän asetelman murtamiseksi työstäkieltäytyjät pu­huvat yhteiskunnasta, jossa ”rehdisti” tehty työ, oma panos ja meriitit eivät määritä asemaamme, toimeentuloamme tai ihmissuhteitamme. Työstä­kieltäytyminen hahmottuu tilana, jossa elämästä nauttiminen loputtoman tuotteliaisuuden sijaan on keskeisin lähtökohta olemisen järjestämiselle. Tässä puheenvuorossani viittaan työstäkieltäyty­jistä puhuessani erityisesti Työstäkieltäytyjän käsi­kirjan (Kankila ym. 2019) esittelemiin ajatuksiin työstäkieltäytymisestä. Kirjan mukaan työstäkiel­täytyjää voisi pitää kapinallisena, joka pyrkii vas­tustamaan pääoman valtaa ja käyttämään työvoi­maansa kapitalistisen työn ja lisäarvontuotannon ulkopuolisiin tekemisen muotoihin. (Kankila ym. 2019, 208.)
Tässä puheenvuorossa tarkastelen kapitalis­mia yhteiskuntajärjestelmänä, joka markkinoi­den, sääntelyn ja talouspolitiikan lisäksi yllä-pitää myös moraalikäsityksiä, sosiaalisia suhteita ja valtiollisen vallan toimintaa. Ymmärrän kapitalismin marxilais-feministisistä ja postkoloniaalisista traditioista käsin, jolloin kapitalismi näyttäytyy yhteiskunta-, arvo ja talousjärjestelmänä, joka aina jo itsessään sisältää eriarvoistavia asetelmia. Näissä perinteissä kapitalismi nähdään rasistise­na (Gilmore 2006), heteronormatiivisena (Butler 1998), luokkajärjestelmään perustuvana (Fede­rici 1975), kyvykkyyttä korostavana (Kafer 2013) ja länsikeskeisenä (Kapur 2018; Spivak 1988) jär­jestelmänä. Kapitalismi ja siihen ehdottomasti kiinnittynyt palkkatyöinstituutio eivät kykene kannattelemaan kumouksellisten feminismien ajamaa muutosta, koska kapitalismi hyötyy eriar­voistavista järjestelmistä.
Työstäkieltäytymisen tarkasteleminen on mer­kityksellistä näin jälkikapitalistisen murroksen partaalla, kun yhtäältä ilmastokatastrofi ja toi­saalta työn prekarisoituminen ja eriarvoistumi­nen kiihdyttävät työinstituution kriisiytymistä. Palkkatyön murros näkyy silppu- ja pätkätöiden lisääntymisenä, edelleen jatkuvina sukupuolten välisinä palkkaeroina, tiettyjen alojen sukupuo­listumisena ja hoivatyön kriisinä (Jyrkinen ym. 2020; Hansen ym. 2020; Mulinari ja Selberg 2013; Näre 2013). Myös koronapandemia, lisääntynyt automatisaatio, informaatiotulva ja teknologinen kehitys luovat haasteita palkkatyön yhteiskunnal­liselle järjestämiselle. Teknologinen kehitys, in­formaatiovirrat tai automatisaatio eivät itsessään asetu palkkatyöinstituutiota vastaan, mutta ne muuttavat sen luonnetta. Pääoman kerryttämi­sen keinot ja työläisten riiston tavat muuttuvat, kun esimerkiksi informaatiossa on kiinni enem­män pääomaa kuin materiaalisissa tuotteissa.
Nykytaiteen huolet ja hoiva
Authors: Pulkkinen Joonas
Published: March 2023

Nykytaiteen kentällä kiinnitetään yhä enemmän huomiota hoivatyöhön ja hoivan edellytyksiin. Tämä näkyy niin erilaisten teosten aiheissa, niiden muodossa kuin temaattisina kokonaisuuksina. Tällä hetkellä kysymys hoivasta heijastelee nykytaiteen piirissä etualalle nousseita ajankohtaisia ilmiöitä: länsimaalaiselle ajattelulle vastakkaisia ymmärryksen tapoja ja kosmologioita, kolonialismin perintöä ja dekolonisaatiota, globalisaation luonnetta ja uusliberalismin kritiikkiä. Vähemmistöjen oikeudet, ei-länsimaiset ajatteluperinteet sekä ihmiskeskeisen ajattelun purkaminen ovat yhä useammin osa perinteisiäkin museonäyttelyitä.
Detecting plumes in mobile air quality monitoring time series with Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise
Authors: Actkinson Blake , Griffin Robert
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Mobile monitoring is becoming an increasingly popular technique to assess air pollution on fine spatial scales, but methods to determine specific source contributions to measured pollutants are sorely needed. One approach is to isolate plumes from mobile monitoring time series and analyze them separately, but methods that are suitable for large mobile monitoring time series are lacking. Here we discuss a novel method used to detect and isolate plumes from an extensive mobile monitoring data set. The new method relies on Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN), an unsupervised machine learning technique. The new method systematically runs DBSCAN on mobile monitoring time series by day and identifies a subset of points as anomalies for further analysis. When applied to a mobile monitoring data set collected in Houston, Texas, analyzed anomalies reveal patterns associated with different types of vehicle emission profiles. We observe spatial differences in these patterns and reveal striking disparities by census tract. These results can be used to inform stakeholders of spatial variations in emission profiles not obvious using data from stationary monitors alone.
Assessment of Indonesian Throughflow transports from ocean reanalyses with mooring-based observations
Authors: Fritz Magdalena , Mayer Michael , Haimberger Leopold , Winkelbauer Susanna
Published: March 2023

Abstract. The transport of heat and freshwater from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean via the Indonesian Seas is commonly referred to as the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF). The interaction between the ITF and large scale phenomena occurring from intraseasonal to decadal time scales reflects its connection to the global ocean and the climate system, indicating the need for monitoring the ITF region. In situ observations in this region are highly valuable, but they are temporally and spatially insufficient for near real-time monitoring. Ocean reanalyses have the potential to serve as near-realtime monitoring tools but also to extended time series backward in time, yet a comprehensive quality assessment of their realism in this region with challenging bathymetry has been lacking so far. We focus on oceanic transports diagnosed from the Copernicus Marine Service (CMEMS) Global Reanalysis Ensemble Product (GREP) and the higher-resolution product GLORYS12V1, totalling six reanalysis products. They are validated against in situ observations taken from two different monitoring programs, namely International Nusantara Stratification and Transport (INSTANT 2004–2006) and Monitoring the Indonesian Throughflow (MITF 2006–2011 and 2013–2017), resulting in a total time series of about 11.5 years in the major inflow passage of Makassar Strait and shorter sampled time series in Lombok Strait, Ombai Strait, and Timor Passage. Results show that there is reasonable agreement between reanalysis-based transports and observations in terms of means, seasonal cycles, and variability, although some shortcomings stand out. The lower resolution products do not represent the spatial structure of the flow accurately. They also tend to underestimate the integrated net flow in the narrower straits of Lombok and Ombai, an aspect that is improved in GLORYS12V1. Reanalyses tend to underestimate the effect of seasonal Kelvin waves on the transports, which leads to errors in the mean seasonal cycle. Interannual variations of reanalysed transports agree well with observations, but uncertainties are much larger on sub-annual variability. Finally, as an application of physically consistent and observationally constrained fields provided by ocean reanalyses, we study the impact of the vertically varying pressure gradient on the vertical structure of the ITF to better understand an apparent two-layer regime of the flow.

Abstract. The accuracy and precision of snow depth measurements depend on the measuring device and the conditions of the site and snowpack in which it is being used. This study compares collocated snow depth measurements from a magnaprobe snow depth probe and a Federal snow tube in an ephemeral snow environment. We conducted three snow depth sampling campaigns from December 2020 to February 2021 that included 39 open field, coniferous, mixed, and deciduous forest sampling sites in Durham, New Hampshire, United States. For all sampling campaigns and land cover types with a total of 936 paired observations, the magnaprobe snow depth measurements were consistently deeper than the snow tube. There was a 12 % average difference between the magnaprobe (14.9 cm) and snow tube (13.2 cm) average snow depths with a greater difference in the forest (1.9 cm) than the field (1.3 cm). This study suggests that snow depth measurements using a Federal snow tube can avoid overprobing with an ephemeral snowpack in forested environment.
Community Acceptance of, and Opposition to, Homeless-Serving Facilities
Authors: Adams Brian , Welsh Carroll Megan , Gutierrez Nicolas
Published: March 2023

Under what conditions will the public accept homeless-serving housing and social service facilities in their neighborhood? In this paper, we answer this question through a basic descriptive statistical analysis of a brief survey (respondent n=251) and a thematic analysis of seven focus groups with residents of San Diego, California (participant n=34). We find that although residents were not categorically opposed to such facilities, their support was contingent on a particular approach to addressing homelessness, often rooted in misperceptions of the causes of homelessness. Participants classified people experiencing homelessness (PEH) into “deserving” and “undeserving” groups based on these perceptions. Attitudes towards homeless-serving facilities were also shaped by a belief that what is needed most are services such as substance abuse treatment, mental health services, or job training; they focused less on the need to house people who are currently unsheltered. Study participants also took a paternalistic approach to policy design, focusing on rules and regulations to force PEH to make “good” decisions. Participants recognized homelessness as a pressing social problem and were willing to consider homeless-serving facilities in their community. However, their attitudes and beliefs limited which facilities they would support, and under what circumstances.

The article presents the results of studying alfalfa in a collection nursery by fertility, self-fertility, number of seeds in one pod, percentage of fertility of seedbuds in the ovary, number of seedbuds in one flower and seed productivity. The goal of the research is to study self-pollination and cross-pollination, fertility of a collection of alfalfa cultivars of different ecological and geographical origin to apply the best varieties in breeding process. All the experiments carried out at the «LLP Kazakh Research Institute of Agriculture and Plant» study area. We involved 134 varieties of alfalfa, sowing (M. sativa L) and changing alfalfa (M. varia Mart) of domestic and foreign breeding from 18 countries of the world. Due to the increasing interest in the development of synthetic and partially self-pollinated varieties of alfalfa, there has been a lot of attention paid to this issue. In the south-east of Kazakhstan, alfalfa forms 22-49% of pods from the number of observed flowers in a freely accessible state for pollinators. Alfalfa seed productivity depends significantly on seed setting per flower. The specimens from Ukraine (k-450), Turkmenistan (k-253) and France (k-315) had fertility levels between 67,3 and 72,1 % in the conditions of south-east Kazakhstan. The index of pod setting during cross-pollination in all varieties persuasively exceeds in 3 - 5 times the level of pod setting during self-pollination under isolators. Self-fertility in specimens varied in the organic range of 8,4 - 14,2 %. One of the major criteria determining the level of seed productivity is seed yield per pod, this index stood out varieties: from Sweden (k-356), Ukraine (k-450), Turkmenistan (k-253) and France (k-315). The yield of seeds per pod reached 3.5 - 4.3 (0 of 7). All in all, the specimen from France (k-315) differed by high rates of seed yield. Seed yield reached 47.3 g/m2, which exceeded the standard by 36.3%. Besides, US (k-365), Ukraine (k-450), Turkmenistan (k-253), Russia (k-473) showed good results, where the excess under the standard was 15.2 % - 21.9 %.

Published: March 2023

Background: Down syndrome is the most common chromosomal disorder and most common genetic cause of mental retardation. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children with Down's syndrome. Objective: To determine the frequency and types of congenital heart diseases in children with Down syndrome and to relate it with consanguinity. Material and Methods: This Cross-sectional study was carried out at Bacha Khan Medical Complex / Gajju Khan Medical College, Swabi, from January 2019-December 2020. Children less than 12 year's age with Down syndrome were enrolled in the study. Echocardiography of all these children was done and presence and type of CHD was noted.Results: Our study included 95 children with diagnosis of Down syndrome. The mean age was 56.12±41.89 months. 40% were males. Mother's mean age was 33.04±4.2 years. Mothers having age = 35 years old were 30.5%. Parents having consanguineous marriage were 33.7%. The diagnosis of major congenital heart defect was in 37.9%. Out of 36 CHD patients the type of congenital heart lesion was as follows: 36.11% had AVSD, 25% had ASD; 30.5% had VSD; 5.55% had tetralogy of Fallot and 2.78% had PDA. Children with down syndrome with CHD had older mothers <0.05. Mothers with consanguineous marriages had a greater proportion of CHD children; p<0.05. Conclusion: Approximately 1/3rd Down syndrome children had congenital heart disease. The commonest lesion was AVSD followed by VSD, ASD, tetralogy of Fallot and PDA. Consanguineous marriages are associated with a greater frequency of CHD in Down children.Keywords: Down syndrome, congenital heart disease, Echocardiography.
Tax Evasion, Low Tax Revenue and Non-Compliance in Pakistan: A Focused Group Discussion
Authors: Jajja Muhammad Omer Farooq , Bhatti Arshad Ali
Published: March 2023

The increasing culture of tax evasion and non-compliance leads to revenue losses for governments and impacts both the government and the citizens of a country. This paper uses a focused group discussion method to explore the issues pertinent to the prevailing tax system in Pakistan, such as non-compliance, increasing evasion, and low tax revenue. It is found that education, development of good social values, justice by state institutions, and improvement in the role of media are necessary for nurturing a tax-compliant society. The other causes of a low tax-to-GDP ratio include the cash economy, the underground economy, and the influence of interest groups (lobbyists, feudal, corporate houses, and politicians) on policymaking. This study suggests taxing the high-income class more and redistributing among the poor to attain parity. It is also suggested that efforts be made to introduce the value-added taxation system into the economy and that the federal board of revenue focuses on segmenting the economy/industries to increase revenue collection. Apart from that, they should also reinvest a reasonable percentage of collected tax revenue in the upgradation of tax machinery. However, this study does face some limitations. The major limitation is that despite invitations and our best efforts, the panel of experts did not have representation from women, media, the business community, and participants living outside the city of Islamabad.

Influence of Family Structure on Student’s Academic Achievement in Secondary Schools in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: Jerome Anyanwu
Published: March 2023

This study focused on the influence of family structure on the academic achievement of students in secondary schools in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria. Specifically; single parent families and two parent families as well as academic achievement of senior secondary school students were the variables involved in the study. Two hundred and twenty students of the public secondary schools in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria were involved in the study. The Multidimensional Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS), which was designed by Suldo and Huebner (2006), was used to gather information from the students and it was conducted in a classroom environment during school period. After collecting information from the students, their scores in Mathematics and English Language (which are compulsory subjects in all secondary schools) of the second term of 2021/2022 academic session were obtained from their class teachers with the permission of the principals of the schools. The scores were then converted to Z-scores in order to ensure their reliability and validity since they were collected from different schools. Results show a significant difference in the academic achievement of students from single parent families and those from two parent families. In other words, the academic achievement of children from two parent families is better than those from single parent families. The implications of the findings were that parental separation should be avoided and religious leaders, counsellors as well as government must engage in enlightening parents about the importance of family structure on the life of children and in ensuring a well-ordered society.

To What Extent is Football Still a Poor Man’s Game?
Authors: Saha Arhaan Mukherjee
Published: March 2023

Football is a sport which is played and watched by millions and millions of people worldwide. However, the game has progressed a lot since its introduction wherein it was once recognized as a poor man's game and now runs as a corporation fuelled by wealth and money. For example, in the Premier League alone this year, the clubs spent a total of 1.9 billion pounds. In 1999 they spent a total of 220 million Pounds. This shows the stark difference and the sudden increase in expenditure. This paper aims to unfold how the sport began, and the certain factors which influenced the change in the game, making it a game which is mainly dominated by businessmen and billionaires. The latter half of this paper focuses on how even though the bigger leagues may be dominated by these mega tycoons of business, the game still belongs to the people and benefits them.

High-performance rubber compounds require good dispersion of polymers, fillers, and other additives. However, fine powdery additives such as zinc oxide and insoluble sulfur (IS) are characteristically difficult to disperse, and poor dispersion may lead to large crosslink and modulus gradients in the final vulcanizate. IS dispersion can be assessed directly or indirectly, yet many techniques suffer from a lack of sensitivity and accuracy or are cost prohibitive. Herein, we describe the application of a two-parameter Weibull distribution and population survival analysis of cured rubber tensile strength as a simple technique to evaluate IS dispersion. We use statistical tools to determine the optimum number of sample replicates required to differentiate the quality of dispersion in rubber articles through the Weibull scale and shape estimates (α and β, respectively). We then demonstrate how mixing cycle time and intensity affect the dispersion of two IS grades and show that judicious choice of IS can lead to reduced cycle mix times, productivity improvements, and energy cost savings.

Published: March 2023

Companies can use digital media to promote their goods or services on social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. From various viewpoints, several academics investigate the influence of various social media applications on consumer purchasing behavior from various angles. This study looks at how YouTube ads are used to build brand awareness and image and how they affect people's plans to buy. Respondents in this survey are millennials who live in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan, and the neighboring territories and are 18–34 years old. They were selected using a non-probability sample approach from Multan City and adjacent areas. The smart PLS is used in conjunction with structural equation modeling (SEM) in this work. YouTube ads affect brand awareness and brand image, but they do not affect people's ability to make good decisions. YouTube ads have a significant association with the urge to conduct a transaction. This study did not use brand awareness and brand image as mediators because they had nothing to do with people's buying plans.
Mâtürîdî ve Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’a Göre Rü’yetullah Sorunu
Authors: ORAL Osman
Published: March 2023

Allah’ın görülebilmesi rü’yetullah sorunu tevhid ve inanç bağlamında tartışılır. Kur’ân’da bazı insanların Allah’ı görme ve peygamberlerden Allah’ı kendilerine gösterme taleplerinden söz edilir. Bununla insanın fıtratında olan merak duygusunun aşkın varlık Allah’ı görme arzusuna dönüştüğü söylenir. Rü’yetullah’ın bilinmesi, Allah’ı yaratılmışlara benzetme (teşbih) ve Allah’ıcisimleştirme (tecsim) yani putlaştırmayı önlemektedir. Âlimlerin çoğu dünyada Allah’ı gözle görmenin mümkün olmadığını, âhirette ise büyük bir lütuf ve nimet olarak cennette görüleceğini söylerler. Ebû Mansûr el-Mâtürîdî’ye göre aziz ve celil Rabbin görülmesi gereklidir, haktır ancak bu rü’yet idrâksiz (ihatasız) ve tefsirsiz (bilâkeyf) olacaktır. Bazı İslâm âlimleri rü’yetullaha karşıdırlar. Ontolojik ve epistemik nedenlerden ötürü aşkın varlık Allah’ın görülmesini reddederler. Mu’tezile âlimi Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’a göre aşkın varlık Allah dünyada ve âhirette hiçbir şekilde görülemez. Allah’ı övgü ve tenzih; Mâtürîdî’ye göre rü’yetullah’ın ispatıyla; Kâdî Abdülcebbâr’a göre ise rü’yetullah’ın yokluğuyla gerçekleşir.
Stalin’in Kırgız Aydınlara Baskısı
Authors: ERGESH KYZY Aziza
Published: March 2023

Stalin’in Kırgız Aydınlara baskısı, Ekim Devrimi’nden sonra iktidara gelen Komünist Bolşevik Partisi döneminde başlamıştır. Çünkü bu dönemde tüm mahalli teşkilatlar, üyesi bulundukları söz konusu partinin kararlarına uymak zorunda idiler. Marksizm teorisine ve Sovyet ideolojisine göre kurumsallaşan Komünist Partisi toplumda sınıfsal ayrımı kaldırmayı hedeflemiştir. Bu gerekçeyle Parti’ye bağlı olan bölgelerin yanı sıra Türkistan topraklarındaki sömürgeci ve burjuva saydıkları “feodal aristokratlar”, “milliyetçiler” ve “dindarlar” gibi kesimler üzerinde yöneticiler baskı kurmaya başlar. Böylece Parti, kendi yönetimine karşıçıkan gruplardan kurtularak daha etkin ve örnek bir sosyalist rejim kurmayı hedeflemiştir. Bu konuda “eşitlik” dedikleri politik uygulamayı 1920-1950 yılları arasında kesintisiz devam ettirmişlerdir. Bu süreçteki “temizlik hareketi” adını verdikleri baskı, özellikle 1937-1938'de doruk noktasına ulaşmıştır. Bu bağlamda en fazla zarar gören halklar arasında Kırgız aydınları da bulunmaktaydı. Bu aydınların büyük kısmı Ekim Devrimi öncesinde eğitim almış, tanınmış aile mensupları ve farklı düşünceye sahip gençlerden oluşmaktaydı. Onlar, Kırgız halkının uzun süre boşluklarını dolduramadıkları ilk aydınlarıydı. 1920'lerin sonlarından itibaren muhalefet duyguları daha da güçlenmeye başlayan Kırgız aydınları sözde Sosyal-Turan Partisi'nin üyesi olmakla itham edilmişlerdir. Bu gerekçe ile Stalinist fikirlerin yerine getirilmesi için Kırgız aydınları neredeyse tamamen ortadan kaldırılmış ve Kırgız halkının geleceğine darbe vurulmuştur.

Analyzing Antagonism in the Election of the Philippines Using Agonistic Democracy Paradigm
Authors: HIPOLAO Chrıstıan
Published: March 2023

Antagonism, in the language of agonistic democracy, refers to the conflict between opposing parties. These opposing parties do not recognize each other as legitimate voices. In the context of the election in the Philippines, the emergence of this kind of conflict is manifested during the opposing preferences will meet as they will express their political color. There are significant numbers of literature that discussed the nature of antagonistic conflict in the politics of the Philippines. For instance, patron-client describes the dyadic connection between patron and client through a personal relationship. However, this personal relationship is marked by conflict in personal interests. On the other hand, the moralization of politics has a nature of conflict based on two opposing sectors, the mass sphere, and the civil sphere. In which, the divide is determined by the socioeconomic status of the people. Although there are analyses that explain the possible reasons for these political conflicts, they fail to capture the nature of conflict during the election in the Philippines. The conflict will occur when people engage during the election and will be vocal about their preferred candidates. This article will try to explain the nature of conflict during elections using the Agonistic Democracy framework of Chantal Mouffe. Mouffe explains that there is a conflict between opposing parties because neither of the parties recognizes each other as legitimate or important. Rather the conflict is gapped by friend/enemy relation. Using the framework of Chantal Mouffe, this article will argue that the divide neglects the electoral process and undermines the essence of democracy that is manifested in elections. One of the ways to overcome this problem is to recognize the impossibility of eradicating the different preferences of the people in choosing a candidate

Nanotechnology is a continually expanding field for its uses and applications in multiple areas i.e. medicine, science, and engineering. Biosynthesis is straightforward, less-toxicity, and cost-effective technology. TiO2 NPs biosynthesis has attained consideration in recent decades. In this study, probiotic bacteria were isolated from cow’s raw milk samples, and then were identified by using the Vitek2 system; as Leuconostoc spp. included Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (Leu.1), Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. cremoris (Leu.4), and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (Leu.14). All Leuconostoc spp. isolates showed an ability for TiO2 NPs bio-production, after being incubated at anaerobic conditions (30 o C/ 24 h) in DeMan Regosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth medium. The biosynthesized TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized using the following apparatuses: UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) apparatus, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) in addition to Energy Dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) spectra. The characterized biosynthesized TiO2 NPs were spherical-shaped, nanostructure anatase crystals with an average size range of 53.35-59.41 nm. The UV absorption spectrum was observed at the wavelength 344-248 nm; the topography AFM 2D and 3D images result showed the height and roughness of biosynthesized TiO2 NPs that were in the range of 1.137-18.88 nm. Absorption peaks in the FTIR spectra were located in a region typical of TiO2 NPs, and biosynthesized TiO2 nanoparticles’ main IR topographies (408.21- 445.80) cm-1 belonged to anatase Titania (Ti-O-Ti) bridge.

Pupuk merupakan salah satu faktor krusial yang berpengaruh terhadap keberhasilan produktivitas pertanian. Dalam mengatasi kondisi pupuk subsidi yang tidak menentu, perlu adanya usaha untuk petani dapat mandiri pupuk. Di Desa Kanoman, perkebunan pepaya dan singkong merupakan komoditas utama yang dihasilkan. Selain perkebunan, masyarakat desa Kanoman juga banyak yang memiliki ternak sapi. Masyarakat desa biasanya langsung menggunakan kotoran sapi untuk memupuk tanaman tanpa adanya proses fermentasi menggunakan mikroorganisme. Fermentasi menggunakan mikroorganisme seperti Nitrobacter sp dapat memberikan manfaat seperti mempercepat proses nitrifikasi, menyuburkan tanah, dan dapat menguraikan unsur N, P, K yang menjadi residu pemupukan kimia. Oleh karena itu perlu adanya pemberdayaan kelompok tani melalui pelatihan pembuatan starter pengomposan menggunakan Nitrobacter. Metode yang digunakan dalam pemberdayaan ini yaitu sosialisasi, pelatihan dan praktik, serta diskusi untuk mencapai pemahaman yang baik dan keberlanjutan kegiatan. Berdasarkan praktik yang dilakukan di lapangan diperoleh hasil pada proses pembuatan dan perbanyakan starter pengomposan Nitrobacter adalah Sebanyak 150 liter starter pupuk kompos yang difermentasikan selama 5-7 hari dan pada pengecekannya tercium bau yang menyengat.
