JUTE AS AN IMPACTFUL SUBSTITUTE TO PLASTIC PRODUCTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: Jarin Tasnim Tarannum , Fayshal Md Atik
Published: February 2025

This review paper provides a critical examination of the environmental impacts and performance characteristics of both plastic and jute products, utilizing extensive literature and empirical data. The comparative analysis of plastic and jute products reveals significant differences in their environmental impacts, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable alternatives to plastic. Plastic products contribute extensively to environmental pollution through improper disposal and long-lasting presence in ecosystems, contaminating rivers and oceans, and posing severe threats to wildlife and human health due to entanglement, ingestion, and the leaching of harmful chemicals. Plastic production and decomposition release substantial greenhouse gases, exacerbating global warming and climate change, with plastic production demanding 63 GJ/ton of energy and generating 1340 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton produced. Conversely, jute products are celebrated for their biodegradability and sustainable sourcing. With a rapid growth cycle of 4-6 months and high cellulose yield, jute products decompose naturally, enriching the soil and reducing pollution. Although jute’s heavier weight can lead to higher transportation emissions, its benefits in terms of renewability, composability, and minimal carbon footprint make it a superior alternative, with jute production requiring only 2 GJ/ton of energy and emitting a negligible 0.15 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton produced. The historical significance and current trends of the jute industry in Bangladesh further underscore its potential as a sustainable resource, with the sector generating nearly $1 billion annually. The mechanical properties of jute, such as tensile strengths ranging from 12.69 MPa to 112.69 MPa and tensile moduli up to 39.1 GPa, combined with its physical properties like strong seam strength and resistance to temperature variations, enhance its versatility across various applications. The transition to jute products can significantly mitigate the adverse impacts of plastic pollution, promoting environmental conservation and sustainable industry practices.

Authors: Kanesamoorthy Thuthishan , Ukwattage Nadeesha
Published: February 2025

Laboratory chemical wastewater contains the heavy metals such as Pb and Cr. The removal of Pb from such water in the absence and presence of Cr and other metals using phytoremediation technique with Azolla was studied. A hyperaccumulator Azolla aquatic plant species was grown in a solution of Pb and/or Cr under three experimental settings and the relative growth rate of the plant, the bioconcentration factor and the Pb removal efficiency were measured for a period of 21 days under controlled laboratory environment. In the first experimental setting, the Azolla was planted in Pb solutions of concentrations 2.5 ppm, 5.0 ppm, and 10.0 ppm. A removal efficiency of Pb up to 98% was reported in the solution of 2.5 ppm Pb concentration. In the second experimental setting, when the Pb was mixed with Cr, a decrease in the relative growth rate of Azolla was observed, yet with an increase in the Pb removal efficiency. In the third experiment series, two concentrations (2.5 ppm and 5.0 ppm) of Fe, Mg and Ca in the solution were used in addition to Pb and Cr. Here, a decreased relative growth rate with increasing exposure days, and a rising trend in metal removal efficiency and bioconcentration factor were observed. The results revealed a promising potential of Azolla sp in the phytoremediation of Pb in solution. Further, the Azolla sp was found more effective in removing Pb when it is present individually rather than in a solution with Cr.
ESTIMATION OF AGGREGATE CONSUMPTION FUNCTION FOR NEPAL USING ARDL MODEL
Authors: Poudel Bibas
Published: February 2025

Estimating the consumption function is important for informing policy makers aimed at promoting sustainable economic growth, poverty alleviation, and social development. This research study estimated the aggregate consumption function for Nepal from 2000 to 2022 using the Auto regressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL). Real income, real exchange rate, interest rate, and inflation rate are the determinants for the study. The study reveals a long-term association among these variables through ARDL based co-integration test. While the elasticity coefficient of real income is significantly positive, the coefficients of other variables are negative. In the long run, there is an inverse relationship between the real depreciation of domestic currency and real consumption. The real interest rate appears to create substitution effects on consumption, while the inflation rate triggers real balance effects on Nepal’s aggregate consumption. The error correction coefficient (𝛾) was found to be -0.892.

The Mangonggo durian is a traditional activity conducted by the Batetangnga community during periods of abundant fruit harvest. According to community leaders, this tradition predates the administrative establishment of Batetangnga village. The tradition embodies significant Islamic educational values. However, contemporary influences, including pragmatism and differing religious perspectives, have raised concerns about the preservation of this tradition. This research employs a qualitative methodology, with the researcher serving as the primary instrument for data collection through observation and interviews. The aim is to understand the challenges associated with preserving the Mangonggo tradition. In qualitative research, subjects are selected purposively; thus, this study will utilize purposive sampling to ensure that the data collected aligns with the research objectives. The findings of this study indicate that the Mangonggo durian tradition is a product of the interplay between culture and Islam within the Batetangnga community. This interaction is evident in the incorporation of religious symbols and instruments in the implementation process such as using the mosque as an information center, conducting prayers with religious texts, shifting societal paradigms, and involving religious leaders. Furthermore, the Mangonggo tradition, as a manifestation of the convergence of religion and culture, encompasses numerous Islamic educational values, including gratitude, sincerity, honesty, humility, and collaborative cooperation. The preservation of this local culture, exemplified by the Mangonggo tradition, serves as an alternative means of promoting Islam within the Batetangnga Village community. This approach has garnered government support as part of the religious moderation program, which emphasizes the importance of accommodating local culture.

Published: February 2025

This study aims to examine the legal protection of children's rights exploited as beggars in Pekalongan Regency. The background of this research is the increasing phenomenon of child exploitation as beggars, which contradicts the children's rights stipulated in the constitution and laws. This research uses empirical juridical methods with legislative, conceptual, and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with informants from the Social Service as well as beggars and their children. The research results show that the legal protection efforts carried out by the Pekalongan Regency Government are still limited to handling and there are no specific basic regulations regarding the protection of children exploited as beggars. The existing policies only cover enforcement, rehabilitation, guidance, and social assistance, but have not provided strict legal protection against child exploitation. Moreover, the implementation of social assistance is often ineffective due to the lack of proper utilization by parents. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the condition of legal protection for children exploited as beggars and provides recommendations for developing more specific and stringent regional regulations. The proposed recommendations include drafting regional regulations governing legal protection for exploited children, as well as increasing awareness and education for the community about the importance of children's rights and efforts to prevent child exploitation. This study also emphasizes the need for coordination between various government and non-governmental agencies to ensure effective and sustainable legal protection for children in Pekalongan Regency.

Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) of EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin B2 98% and vitamin B2 80% in the form of riboflavin produced by fermentation with a genetically modified strain of Bacillus subtilis (CGMCC 7.449) as nutritional feed additives for all animal species. Viable cells and DNA of the production strain were not detected in the final products and therefore, the use of B. subtilis CGMCC 7.449 to produce vitamin B2 does not raise safety concerns. The use of vitamin 98% and 80% produced with B. subtilis CGMCC 7.449 in animal nutrition does not represent a safety concern for the target species, consumers and for the environment. The additives are not dermal nor eye irritants but are dermal and respiratory sensitisers. Inhalation and dermal exposure are considered a risk. The additives under assessment are effective in covering the animals' requirements of vitamin B2 when administered via feed.
