English Teachers’ Perception on the Quality of Online Learning during Covid-19
Authors: Yani Ani
Published: April 2022

The outbreak of Covid-19 has brought forth a plethora of research exploring teachers’ and students’ perceptions and expectations on online learning. While it is ambivalent whether schools should be opened in the next academic year, it becomes pertinent to learn the opinion of teachers and to explore the degree of adaptation towards implementing online learning. This article reports a case study examining Indonesian English teachers’ perception of the quality of their online courses during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data collected for this study are survey responses from 100 English teachers of primary, secondary, and higher education from 12 cities in Indonesia. The data was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The findings revealed that the teachers generally perceived their online learning as moderately effective. The evaluation was based on the eight general standards of online course evaluation from Quality Matters. The standards evaluating the course overview, learning objectives, course technology, learner support, and accessibility were perceived to be effective. Assessment and interaction were perceived to be moderately effective, and instructional materials as ineffective. As this study investigates the quality of online learning based on the teachers’ perspective, it did not reflect the quality of the teaching-learning process as a whole.

Pomiędzy akulturacją a społecznym zakotwiczeniem – spojrzenie na współczesną migrację młodych Polaków w Irlandii z perspektywy ich wyborów żywieniowych
Authors: Garstka Ewa
Published: April 2022

Młodzi Polacy opuszczający ojczyznę w celach zarobkowych zmuszeni są do mierzenia się z nową rzeczywistością kulturową i społeczną. Poczucie odrębności w nieznanym wcześniej środowisku wpływa na rodzaj posiłków wybieranych przez migrantów, a wzory kulinarne stają się elementem procesu lokalizacji w warunkach postępującego ujednolicenia kulturowego. Niniejszy artykuł przedstawia współczesną migrację młodych Polaków w Irlandii z perspektywy ich wyborów żywieniowych. Jest także próbą przedstawienia dwóch perspektyw – akulturacji oraz „społecznego zakotwiczenia” w kontekście badań nad współczesnymi migracjami. Zwyczaje i praktyki skupione wokół jedzenia, uwikłane w system wzajemnych relacji i interakcji, mają determinujący wpływ na poczucie identyfikacji społeczno-kulturowej danej grupy. Zachowania konsumenckie młodych Polaków w Dublinie łączą się z silnym związkiem migranta z ojczyzną, a stół w sposób metaforyczny staje się elementem pomagającym odnaleźć się w obcej rzeczywistości kraju przyjmującego. Pomiędzy emigrantem a krajem pochodzenia występuje silny związek przejawiający się m.in. w codziennych wyborach żywieniowych. Wzory kulinarne są elementami „zewnętrznymi” współczesnych tożsamości jednostkowych, społecznych i zbiorowych, a sytuacja migracji podkreśla ich znaczenie w procesie adaptacyjnym.
UNIKATOWY SARKOFAG MŁODEGO MEDIOLAŃSKIEGO ADWOKATA Z CZASÓW RZYMSKICH
Authors: Jońca Maciej
Published: April 2022

W kolekcji mediolańskiego Civico Museo Archeologico zachował się wyjątkowy sarkofag młodego prawnika – Gajusza Waleriusza Petronianusa (zmarł w wieku 23 lat). Eksponat ten jest bardzo ważny dla badań nad prawem rzymskim, gdyż przedstawienia jurystów w sztuce starożytnej są bardzo rzadkie. Sarkofag został ozdobiony scenami opowiadającymi o najważniejszych momentach w życiu mediolańskiego prawnika. Widzimy go zarówno podczas odpoczynku, jak i w trakcie aktywności przed sądem. Materiał wizualny stanowi ważny suplement do tego, co materiał pisany mówi nam na temat dnia codziennego mniej dostojnych rzymskich jurystów.
‘DE PROLE AUGENDA’ METELLUSA MACEDOŃSKIEGO A AULUS GELLIUSZ (‘NOCTES ATTICAE’ 1,6) – TA SAMA CZY DWIE RÓŻNE MOWY?
Authors: Schreiber Łukasz
Published: April 2022

W artykule dokonano analizy tekstu Aulusa Gelliusza, który wspomina fragment mowy cenzora Kw. Metellusa Numidyjskiego (cos. 109) w przewrotny sposób chwalącej instytucję małżeństwa. Mowa ta, ze względu na liczne podobieństwa wynikające z nawiązań do mos maiorum i szeroko pojętej polityki prorodzinnej, zazwyczaj jest błędnie przypisywana Metellusowi Macedońskiemu. W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiono pogląd przeciwny oparty na analizie życiorysów polityków z rodu Metellusów.
‘PRIMUM NON NOCERE’. KAZIMIERZ KOLAŃCZYK WOBEC REFORMY STUDIÓW PRAWNICZYCH Z 1975 R.
Authors: Nancka Grzegorz
Published: April 2022

Od roku 1975 zaczął obowiązywać nowy program studiów prawniczych, który wywodził się z projektu firmowanego przez Jana Baszkiewicza. Zakładał on jako podstawową „zasadę elastyczności”, która miała oznaczać między innymi swobodę wydziałów w kształtowaniu sekwencji przedmiotów w toku studiów. Projekt przewidywał jednak również daleko idące modyfikacje w zakresie przedmiotów, które znalazły się w programie. Jedną z takich zmian była likwidacja prawa rzymskiego w ramach przedmiotów wykładanych na studiach prawniczych. Ta modyfikacja spotkała się ze sprzeciwem środowiska romanistów i historyków prawa. W niniejszym artykule zwrócono uwagę na kwestię postrzegania tej reformy przez Kazimierza Kolańczyka, jednego z czołowych badaczy prawa rzymskiego w powojennej Polsce. Ten uczony w wystąpieniu podczas posiedzenia Rady Wydziału Prawa i Administracji UAM w Poznaniu w dosadny sposób skrytykował planowaną reformę. Spostrzeżenia tego uczonego, zawarte w nieznanym dotąd szerszemu gronu odbiorców wystąpieniu, stanowią ważne źródło związane z postrzeganiem przez środowisko naukowe reformy studiów wprowadzonej w życie w 1975 r. W opracowaniu przedstawione zostały również założenia tej reformy, a także okoliczności związane z jej przygotowywaniem.
INSTYTUCJA BANKÓW POŚREDNICZĄCYCH W OBROCIE NIEWYKORZYSTANYM POTENCJAŁEM ZABUDOWY W STANACH ZJEDNOCZONYCH AMERYKI
Authors: Kwiatkowski Wojciech
Published: April 2022

Artykuł porusza kwestię banków TDR jako podmiotów pośredniczących w transferze niewykorzystanego potencjału zabudowy w Stanach Zjednoczonych i wspierających należyte funkcjonowanie tej instytucji. Rola banków TDR jest tu o tyle istotna, że stabilizują one rynek TDR, zapewniają mu pożądaną synchronizację oraz gwarancję adekwatnej ceny. W realiach amerykańskich bankowość TDR jest szczególnie istotna wówczas, gdy niewykorzystany potencjał pozyskiwany jest z obszarów znajdujących się pod ochroną ze względu na szczególne warunki środowiskowe oraz z obszarów wyłączonych z zabudowy ze względu na przewidzianą tam działalność rolniczą. W mniejszym stopniu odgrywają one znaczenie w środowisku, w którym pierwotnie powstały, tj. miastach, gdzie w założeniu miały zapewniać transfer niewykorzystanego potencjału zabudowy działek położonych w specjalnie wyznaczonych przez władze częściach dzielnic. W artykule omówiono także kontrowersje, jakie w realiach amerykańskich wywołuje bankowość TDR, tj. możliwość naruszenia federalnego prawa konkurencji czy wyceny niewykorzystanego potencjału zabudowy.

Authors: Łączkowska-Porawska Małgorzata
Published: April 2022

Artykuł dotyczy wyroku, w którym Sąd Najwyższy uznał, że wieloletni związek zamężnej kobiety z innym mężczyzną, który jest ojcem jej czwórki dzieci, utrzymywany w tajemnicy przed mężem, nie narusza dóbr osobistych zdradzanego męża. Argumenty przedstawione przez Rzecznika Praw Obywatelskich i przyjęte przez Sąd Najwyższy nie zasługują na aprobatę, mogą natomiast prowadzić do poważnych konsekwencji w zakresie realizacji praw i obowiązków wynikających ze stosunku prawnego, jakim jest małżeństwo. Odmówienie mężowi odszkodowania za krzywdę wyrządzoną mu przez żonę i jej kochanka, którzy zamienili jego życie rodzinne w fikcję (nie był de facto ojcem dzieci, które utrzymywał i wychowywał przez kilka lat), należy także uznać za sprzeczne z konstytucyjną zasadą ochrony małżeństwa (art. 18 Konstytucji RP) oraz z prawem do ochrony życia rodzinnego i prywatnego przewidzianym w art. 47 Konstytucji i art. 8 Konwencji o ochronie praw człowieka i podstawowych wolności.

Water discourse in Kakawin Purwaning Gunung Agung
Authors: Ariana I Ketut Eriadi , Jirnaya I Ketut , Triadnyani I. G. A. A. Mas
Published: April 2022

Water is one of the abiotic elements that is widely discussed in the treasures of traditional Indonesian literature, one of which is Kakawin Purwaning Gunung Agung. This text is a kakawin created in modern Bali by Ida Pedanda Made Sidemen. Kakawin Purwaning Gunung Agung discourses on the water in various narratives to harmonize the universe and relate to the entities of the gods. Water is considered a medium whose presence depends on Lord Shiva as a superpower figure. With the reading of deconstruction as stated by Jacques Derrida, water can be interpreted as not just an element of God's creation that is completely subject to Lord Shiva. Water and its representatives fight against Shiva's domination. Readers will be offered new ideas that nature must be protected and used wisely with the principles of sustainability.
Bridging the Digital Divide in Psychological Therapies: Observational Study of Engagement With the SlowMo Mobile App for Paranoia in Psychosis
Authors: Hardy Amy , Ward Thomas , Emsley Richard , Greenwood Kathryn , Freeman Daniel , Fowler David , Kuipers Elizabeth , Bebbington Paul , Garety Philippa
Published: April 2022

Background

Marginalized groups are more likely to experience problems with technology-related access, motivation, and skills. This is known as the “digital divide.” Technology-related exclusion is a potential barrier to the equitable implementation of digital health. SlowMo therapy was developed with an inclusive, human-centered design to optimize accessibility and bridge the “digital divide.” SlowMo is an effective, blended digital psychological therapy for paranoia in psychosis.

Objective

This study explores the “digital divide” and mobile app engagement in the SlowMo randomized controlled trial.

Methods

Digital literacy was assessed at baseline, and a multidimensional assessment of engagement (ie, adherence [via system analytics and self-report] and self-reported user experience) was conducted at 12 weeks after therapy. Engagement was investigated in relation to demographics (ie, gender, age, ethnicity, and paranoia severity).

Results

Digital literacy data demonstrated that technology use and confidence were lower in Black people and older people (n=168). The engagement findings indicated that 80.7% (96/119) of therapy completers met the a priori analytics adherence criteria. However, analytics adherence did not differ by demographics. High rates of user experience were reported overall (overall score: mean 75%, SD 17.1%; n=82). No differences in user experience were found for ethnicity, age, or paranoia severity, although self-reported app use, enjoyment, and usefulness were higher in women than in men.

Conclusions

This study identified technology-related inequalities related to age and ethnicity, which did not influence engagement with SlowMo, suggesting that the therapy design bridged the “digital divide.” Intervention design may moderate the influence of individual differences on engagement. We recommend the adoption of inclusive, human-centered design to reduce the impact of the “digital divide” on therapy outcomes.

Authors: ABOSEDE OLUFUNSO O. , EZEGWU LOVETH E.
Published: April 2022

Objective: The aim of this research work is to synthesize silver-mebendazole complexes with imidazole (imi), 2,2-bipyridine (bpy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as secondary ligands that will be active and effective against microbes.
Methods: Environmentally friendly techniques were employed to synthesize the new complexes by reacting silver nitrate and ligands in water and at ambient conditions. The formed complexes were isolated and dried at ambient conditions and characterized by UV and FTIR spectroscopies; the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of the complexes against Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella typhi were also tested by agar well diffusion method.
Results: Spectroscopic studies confirmed the formation of the complexes. In the newly synthesized complexes, silver is coordinated by N of the imidazole moiety of mebendazole as well as N atoms of imidazole, 2,2-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline. The complexes are stable and possess low aqueous solubility. Antimicrobial analyses revealed that they were active against the tested organisms with antibacterial activities higher than the parent drug, mebendazole.
Conclusion: The newly synthesized complexes were stable and the results show their antimicrobial potential. The resultant antimicrobial activity of the complexes is as a result of synergistic activities of silver and the ligands.

Authors: Bakhraibah Areej O. , Ashoor Safinaz J .
Published: April 2022

Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica are two trematodes (liver flukes) that cause water- and food-borne disease Fasciolosis. Many animals are involved in the life cycle of the Fasciola spp., such as sheep, cattle, and camels, and humans are the definitive host. This work investigated the prevalence of Fasciola among imported and local slaughtered sheep and the relation between infection rate and seasons of the year. A total of 720,290 local and imported sheep (251,701 and 468,489, respectively) were slaughtered in a Jeddah slaughterhouse (Western region of Saudi Arabia) over the periods of 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. In the three years of inspection, the infection rate at slaughter was higher among imported than local sheep. In 2017-2018, both local and imported sheep had the highest level of infection in the spring and the lowest in the winter. However, in 2018-2019, the highest rate of infection for both was documented in the summer and the lowest in the winter. Lastly, in 2019-2020, the highest rate of infection for local sheep was observed in the summer of 2020 and the lowest rate of infection was observed in the spring of 2020. Among imported sheep, the highest rate of infection was in the summer and the lowest was in winter for both 2019 and 2020. To control this disease, there is the need to apply for successful integrated programs and practice adaptive management techniques.
Study of Conceptual Cost in Construction Project in Indian Sub-Continent Field Using ANN
Authors: Thakuria Rajib , Parida Ananya Punyotoya
Published: April 2022

Abstract: An important piece of information for sustainable building project planning is conceptual cost. The present approach for estimating the conceptual cost is based mostly on conventional methods that make use of available data and the estimator's own expertise. In most projects, a systematic strategy to calculating and anticipating the conceptual cost for long-term project planning is inadequate. A comprehensive neural network model was built in this study to evaluate the conceptual cost of building projects. A wide variety of micro and macro impacting elements have been explored. The proposed engineering solution was pragmatic in that it used the artificial neural network (ANN) technology to represent labour and material costs incurred at various phases of development. Keywords: conceptual cost, construction project, ANN model development

Published: April 2022

Abstract: Amputees face a variety of physical and emotional challenges. Because they have lost organs, they have to rely on others to carry out their daily activities. Amputees may now live more independently and freely thanks to prosthetics. As a result, the study's objective is to develop a Prosthetic Hand with a real-time flex sensor to assist them. To govern arm movements, the suggested design asks for the use of flex sensors in a glove controller. The findings are backed up by real-time oscillations of phantom mimicry, a unique trait of the human hand. Each of the five fingers may be moved individually thanks to its unique design. A nRF24 transceiver was used to establish a wireless communication link between the controller and the sensor. The main purpose of the project is to demonstrate how 3-D printing technology can be utilised to construct a low-cost, user-friendly prosthetic hand that allows amputees to do tasks that need both hands. By restoring the functionality of the wounded physical component, it assists the disabled in gaining the confidence to live an independent life. Keywords: Prosthetic hand, Flex sensors, Glove control, Actuators, Wireless communication, 3-D printing.

Published: April 2022

Abstract: Road accidents and traffic congestion are the major problems in urban areas. Currently there is no technology for accident detection. Also due to the delay in reaching of the ambulance to the accident location and the traffic congestion in between accident location and hospital increases the chances of the death of victim. There is a need of introducing a system to reduce the loss of life due to accidents and the time taken by the ambulance to reach the hospital. To overcome the drawback of existing system we will implement the new system in which there is an automatic detection of accident through sensors provided in the vehicle. A main server unit houses the database of all hospitals in the city. A GPS and Wi-Fi module in the concerned vehicle will send the location of the accident to the main server which will rush an ambulance from a nearest hospital to the accident spot. Along with this there would be control of traffic light signals in the path of the ambulance using RF communication. This will minimize the time of ambulance to reach the hospital. A patient monitoring system in the ambulance will send the vital parameters of the patient to the concerned hospital. This system is fully automated, thus it finds the accident spot and helping to reach the hospital in time. Keywords: IOT, Ambulance Rescue System, Arduino, GPS, Wi-Fi Module

Abstract: With the rapid evolution of the wireless communication technology, user authorization and authentication is important in order to ensure the security of the wireless communication technology. Password play an important role in the process of authentication. In the process of authentication, the password enter by the user will be transmitted along the traffic to the authentication server in order to allow the server to grant access to the authorized user. The attackers will use the chance to attempt sniff others person password in order to perform some illegal activities by using others person password in order to perform some illegal activities by using others identitity to keep them safe from trouble. Due to the issues, there are many solutions has been proposed to improve the security of wireless communication technology. In this paper. The previously proposed solution will be used to enhance the security of the system. . For mobile apps , we need to make a clear distinction between user authentication and app authentication. User authentication is about how users prove that they are the legitimate apps users. App authentication covers how the app authenticates towards the backend . Sometimes device authentication also mentioned, is accessible to all apps running on your phone and generally easy to spoofs.

Abstract: The cost of river sand is much due to excessive cost of transportation from its natural sources. Also huge amount of depletion of these sources leads to environmental problems. Also environmental transportation and other constraints make the availability and use of river sand less attractive, hence it is very necessary now to find substitutes or replacements for river sand. The result for the sieve analysis carried out showed that the aggregates fell within the upper and lower limits of grading requirement. The specific gravity of river sand used was 2.6, while that of grit was determined and the results obtained from two outcomes were 2.23 and 2.45, and the average found was 2.34. The bulk density of river sand was found to be 1550kg/m3 and that of grit was 1650kg/m3. The slump obtained from specimens with different W/C of 0.35, 0.45 and 0.60 ranged from 51 – 86mm. The concrete produced from 100% grit as fine aggregate with a water-cement ratio of 0.45, produced a maximum compressive strength of 29.56 N/mm3 at the highest curing age in days, while sand alone as fine aggregate in one of the concrete mix, produced the least compressive strength of 17.33 N/mm3. Hence, the use of grit in construction is considered more economical since it offers optimum utilization and it is commonly available at different quarry sites.

Establishment of interlaminar structure and crack propagation in carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites by interleaving CNTs/PEK-C film
Authors: LI Hongfu , YAO Jiawei , WU Ying , NIU Kangmin
Published: April 2022

The synergistic combination of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and ductile
thermoplastic resin has shown the large potential in the improvement of
fracture resistance of the epoxy matrix composites using the
interleaving toughening method in recent years. The hybrid structure of
CNTs and thermoplastic resin in interlayers affects directly the
interlaminar structure and the resultant crack propagation path of the
interleaved composites. In this work, the CNTs and thermoplastic
polyetherketone-cardo (PEK-C) were used to prepare the interlayer with
different hybrid structures to interleave the carbon fiber reinforced
epoxy composites and the influence of hybrid structure on the
interlaminar structure and the fracture toughness was investigated. The
results showed that PEK-C/CNT/PEK-C sandwich interlayer produced the
best toughening effect in mode I interlaminar fracture toughness (
G) and the G was
446.76 J/m , increased by 138.11% compared to blank
composites, which benefited from the multilayered structure in the
interlaminar region formed during curing process and the resultant
tortuous crack propagation.
Grape CIPK18 acts as a positive regulator of CBF cold signaling pathway by modulating ROS homeostasis
Authors: Xu weirog , Yu Qinhan , Zheng Qiaoling , Shen Wei , Li Junduo , Yao Wenkong
Published: April 2022

Plants respond to cold temperatures through a divergent Ca-signaling
network that includes the proteins CBL and CIPK. The Amur grape
 ( Vitis  amurensis) is a cold-tolerant wild grape
species native to China. Putative CBL and CIPK genes
(designated as VaCBLs and VaCIPKs) were surveyed in
V.  amurensis. The transcripts of 8 VaCBLs and 19
VaCIPKs encoded in this genome were confirmed. The VaCBLs showed
preferential interaction with distinct VaCIPKs in yeast, among which
VaCIPK18 physically interacted with all 8 VaCBLs in yeast and in 
planta, indicating that VaCIPK18 could function as a node
regulator. These multiple interactions of VaCIPK18 were dependent on the
C-terminal regulatory domain (NAF). VaCIPK18 was ubiquitously
expressed in various tissues and was highly induced by cold, drought,
salt, and ABA. Transient expression of a VaCIPK18‐GFP fusion protein in
Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts indicated its localization in
the nucleus and plasma membrane. The NAF domain of VaCIPK18 was required
for functional homodimerization in yeast as well as in planta.
Over-expression of VaCIPK18 in an Arabidopsis 
cipk3 mutant rescued the cold sensitivity, but enhanced cold
tolerance in wild-type  Arabidopsis. Thus, our study demonstrates
that VaCIPK18 positively regulates cold signaling at least partly
through the direct transcriptional control of cold-regulated
CBFs and modulation of ROS homeostasis. Moreover, VaCIPK18 was
found to interact with VaMYB4a in vivo and in vitro. Our
findings provide evidence that VaCIPK18 functions as a key node
in the CBL-CIPK network and could interact with VaMYB4a to
participate in cold response in grape plants.
The Wisdom Imperative: Peace Through Education for a Sustainable World
Authors: McGregor Sue L. T.
Published: April 2022

Unsustainable consumption is a problem of conscience and a societal challenge thwarting a sustainable world. Morally conscious consumption is grounded in wisdom. The paper thus ties wisdom to consumption as a way to help sustain the world. After profiling wisdom as a construct, the discussion turns to conceptualizing both peace (seven types) and peace education (i.e., education about peace, for peace, and peace through education). Special attention is given to peace through education (including problem-posing education) and to wisdom and practical wisdom as avenues to a sustainable world. By experiencing a form of education that helps them learn from their accumulated consumption experiences, people can gain wisdom that can be applied to their marketplace decisions for the good of humanity. Revamping the education system so it leads to wisdom, practical wisdom, and multifaceted peace is a daunting prospect, but it cannot compare to the loss of a sustainable world.
Influence of Operational Variables in Bicycle Driven Bamboo Slicing Phenomena by Methodology of Response Surface Approach
Authors: Undirwade Siddharth K.
Published: April 2022

Since global energy consumption rises, there seems to be a pressing need to create innovative technologies for saving energy and power production, especially those with lower ecological effects. There is indeed a current must to discover an alternate for renewable sources of energy to be used at any time from any location as well as being accessible to the entire public. Human energy is indeed a kind of alternative energy which has been employed to varying degrees throughout history. In this regard, this research consists of the design and construction of a pedal-driven bamboo slivering (sliver making) machine powered by a human-powered flywheel motor (HPFM). This article evaluates the overall impacts of several process factors upon the outputs of the human-powered bamboo slivering (sliver cutting) phenomenon, such as torque -resistive, sliver numbers, and processing time. The 108 sets of experiments were carried out based on which experimental based models were formulated by using designed experiments and the influence of several independent (input)factors on response (output factors) variables were investigated in cutting the slivers of bamboo using an approach of response surface methodology.

From the Hindu Vedas and the ancient Greek philosophy to the modern transdisciplinary vision and complex thought are solid proofs that the identification of the truly indivisible, ultimate particle. Science has reached nowadays the frontiers of metaphysics, and quantum physics, the levels of reality, the fractals, the holographic universe, the standard model of cosmology, etc. cause human beings to ask themselves again the questions that science cannot answer: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?

The ability to forecast the future has always been of great interest to humanity, in order to take one kind of informed decision or the other. In this research work, time series analysis such as Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was employed to analyse the monthly price of egg (medium size) across all 6 geo-political regions in Nigeria from 2016-2019 with intent to forecast future prices of egg in the 6 regions. Two ARIMA models (ARIMA (3,1,0) & ARIMA (3,1,1)) were used on the dataset, with ARIMA (3,1,0) found to be more suitable for the dataset used. The results show a steadily rising price of eggs across all zones in the country, projecting into 2022; and this could in turn affect the ability of the average Nigerian to afford this meal that is very rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. This rising price could be attributed to the high cost of poultry feed as well as other production inputs. In the long run, the rising prices of poultry eggs may lead to low patronage. Hence both private farmers and government agency should device inclusive policy to stem the tide of this rising cost of eggs for sustainability of food security in the country.

Territoriality is the regulating social system for many carnivore species. It is usually determined by resource abundance and competition. Lutra lutra (hereinafter also – Eurasian otter), a top freshwater predator, has a wide range of various types of resources, which can influence its spatial organisation and space use. It is well known for optimal habitats (mainly wide rivers and lakes). Less is known about the usage of suboptimal habitat. Thus, we focused on forest streams in the Central-Russian Upland and studied the type and dynamics of the Eurasian otter space use with field and genetic methods. During the study period (2002–2018), we showed wave-like changes in the occurrence of the Eurasian otter with a period of nine years. The access to open water is a key factor that affects the Eurasian otter distribution during the snow period, and in the snowless period the water level effects their distribution. We found constant breeding locations, two breeding periods were observed in some years. Analysis of mtDNA control region showed that Eurasian otters with various haplotypes inhabit different river systems of the study area, which could show that the home range of Eurasian otters is determined by one river system. These results show that Eurasian otters use suboptimal habitats as an additional buffer area to survive difficult environmental conditions.

Perancangan Kriptografi Block Cipher berbasis Pola Dribbling Practice
Authors: Fauzi Rizky Restu , Wellem Theophilus
Published: April 2022

Block cipher merupakan salah satu teknik dalam kriptografi modern yang digunakan untuk melakukan enkripsi/dekripsi pada data digital dengan membagi pesan menjadi blok-blok data dan melakukan enkripsi/dekripsi pada tiap blok. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk merancang suatu block cipher berbasis pada pola dribbling practice sebagai variasi dari block cipher yang telah ada. Dalam perancangan block cipher ini, diterapkan prinsip-prinsip dalam desain block cipher seperti, kotak substitusi (substitution box), operasi XOR, jaringan Feistel, dan transposisi kunci. Nilai avalanche effect (AE) dan nilai korelasi antara plaintext dan ciphertext digunakan sebagai ukuran (metric) dalam pengujian terhadap block cipher yang dirancang. Hasil pengujian block cipher menghasilkan nilai AE sebesar 54.687% jika terdapat perubahan satu karakter pada input plaintext, sehingga sedikit perubahan pada plaintext akan mengubah ciphertext yang dihasilkan secara signifikan. Selanjutnya, nilai korelasi antara plaintext dan ciphertext yang diperoleh adalah 0.247 (korelasi rendah) sehingga sangat sulit untuk memperoleh kembali plaintext dari ciphertext-nya.

This article seeks to reinstate the concept of educational waqf in recognition of student-related financial difficulties, especially during the era of the covid-19 pandemic. Malaysia and Indonesia promote higher education among their muslim communities. However, issues of sustainability in private higher education will require some effort in the related muslim communities for the empowerment of the educational waqf for future generations. These efforts will benefit not just the students, but also the institutions of education themselves to enhance the national civilization of one country. Al-Azhar University is an example of an institution founded on waqf property, and a symbol as the world's primary and most successful Islamic higher education system due to waqf contributions. Higher education facilities are costly to operate since they need the development of permanent infrastructures such as mosques, academic and administrative buildings, dormitories, and libraries. Additionally, both physical infrastructure maintenance and human skill development need considerable financial commitment. As a result of this reality, this article contributes to a better understanding of the role of educational waqf for institutions of higher learning, particularly private universities or colleges as well as the prospects and sustainability of the institutions for the muslim community.
