Local Community-Based Plastic Waste Management in Bangun Village, Mojokerto District
Authors: Ulum Akhdiyat Syabril
Published: August 2024

This research aims to analyze and describe local community-based plastic waste management in Bangun Village, Mojokerto Regency. This research method is a case study because it is based on efforts to understand plastic waste management practices in Bangun Village, identify the role of the community in the plastic waste management process, and evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impacts of local community-based plastic waste management. The research results show the waste management cycle, where at the downstream industrial level, waste producers supply waste to the community, in this case as scavengers. Then, scavengers sell the waste to collectors. Next, collectors sell the waste they buy from scavengers to other consumer industries. The point of the problem occurs at the level of scavengers and collectors, where two cycles occur. However, there is no added value from waste managed by the community. This can be detrimental to the community itself in waste management, both in economic, social, and environmental aspects. For this reason, government intervention is needed to improve the community-based plastic waste management system in Bangun Villages through institutional restructuring to shorten the waste distribution cycle. It is recommended to strengthen support and cooperation from various parties, including the government, society, and the private sector, which is very necessary to create a waste management system that is inclusive, sustainable, and provides benefits for all interested parties.

In the context of the Southeast Asia, a series of interrelated ideological systems, including the formation of elite political consensus is involved. The article argues that there are still long-term challenges in the construction of narrative-discourse systems for forming one's own identity, and defining development space. This paper makes the case that the political spectrum in Southeast Asia does not simply reflect the liberal, conservative, political thought found in Europe, but rather represents a narrative system of civilizational integration based on the region's demands of the contemporary world.

Authors: Pedroso Ariele , Gonçalves de Jesus Fonseca Eliane , Dorigoni Bini Ana Carolina , Ilvan  Kerppers Ivo , Rickli Fiuza Martins Hilana
Published: August 2024

Objective: To analyze the muscle mass and cross-sectional area of the muscular fiber of the hemiparetic soleus in an animal model, in order to identify the muscular adaptations that occur in ischemic stroke.
Method: Twelve Rattus norvegicus were divided into 2 groups: stroke group (n=6) and control group (n=6). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups, with evaluations at 7 days (CG7 and SG7) and 21 days (CG21 and SG21) after the accident. Their soleus muscles were removed for muscle mass analysis and cross-sectional area of the muscular fibers (CSAMF) measurement. The adopted statistical significance was 5%.
Result: Significant differences in the muscle mass were observed between CG7 (0.120 ± 0.005 g) vs. SG7 (0.100 ± 0.004 g; p=0.035), and between CG21 (0.130 ± 0.010 g) vs. SG21 (0.078 ± 0.006; p=0.012). Significant differences in the relative muscle mass were observed between CG7 (0.044 ± 0.002 g) vs SG7 (0.039 ± 0.003; p=0.025), and CG21 (0.044 ± 0.003) vs. SG21 (0.028 ± 0.002; p=0.011). The CSAMF showed significant differences between CG7 (2,322 μm2 [2312-2453]) vs. SG7 (2,056 μm2 [2,022-2,135]; p=0.012), and CG21 (2,667 μm2 [2,692-2,845]) vs. SG21 (2,050 μm2 [2,034-2,161]; p=0.006).
Conclusion: In this study in animal models of ischemic stroke, there was a significant loss of muscle mass, and this loss was accentuated in the longer term of the injury, highlighting the importance of future research on types of muscle fibers and applicability in human patients.
Planning for Introducing Electric Buses Based on Ecological and Financial Impacts
Authors: Song Hengrui , Zhang Zhiyuan , Zhao Yang , Zou Xiaole
Published: August 2024

The transition from fossil fuel-powered buses to electric buses has emerged as a central concern in recent years. Governments worldwide are urging this shift in major urban centers as a strategic response to ecological challenges, particularly issues related to pollution and carbon emissions. The primary impediment to the electrification transition lies in real-world financial constraints. Consequently, comprehending both the ecological benefits and financial intricacies of transitioning bus fleets is paramount.In the initial section of this paper, we formulate a mathematical model to assess the reduction in carbon emissions and pollution resulting from a complete transition of the bus fleet. This model is then applied to the city of Sendai, Japan. By comparing the carbon dioxide and emission gases released by conventional buses with those emitted by electric buses, we can discern the impact of employing electric buses on the urban ecological environment.Moving on to the second section, we present a mathematical model delineating the financial aspects of the transition. We use Sendai as a real-world exemplar for our model. The economic model is categorized into expenditures and revenues. Expenditures encompass the acquisition of electric buses, maintenance costs, and carbon taxes. On the income side, we consider bus fares, revenue from bus advertising, the budget of the bus company, and government subsidies. By subtracting expenditures from revenues, we can ascertain the financial ramifications of transitioning to electric buses.Following the evaluation from both ecological and financial perspectives of the bus fleet's electric transition, a third model is constructed mathematically to address the optimal planning solution for a city aiming to fully electrify its bus fleet within a decade. The objective is to achieve cost-efficiency: to be the most economical while meeting ecological goals. Finally, the cities of Sendai, Kunshan, and Nashville serve as subjects for our model, each providing a tailored solution to the transition planning.

The primary focus of the study is to assess the presence and concentration of heavy metals in the water and evaluate its suitability for drinking purposes. Given that a significant portion of the local population depends on groundwater for their daily needs, the study is critical in understanding the potential health risks associated with consuming contaminated water. The study begins with a comprehensive survey to gauge the extent of water usage among the local population and their perceptions of water quality. Results from the survey reveal that nearly half of the households in the region are not connected to a formal drinking water network, relying instead on wells and springs. While the majority of respondents perceive the water quality as good, the analytical findings suggest otherwise. Groundwater samples were collected from twelve wells and three springs across the region. These samples were subjected to rigorous analysis using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to detect the concentration of various heavy metals, including aluminum, silver, iron, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, cobalt, zinc, lead, and copper. The results indicate that many of these metals are present in concentrations that exceed the World Health Organization's recommended limits for safe drinking water. Iron, in particular, was found at high levels in all sampled locations, raising significant concerns. The study also employs the Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI) to provide a more comprehensive assessment of water quality. The HPI values calculated for the sampled water sources reveal that a majority of the wells and all of the springs have levels of heavy metal contamination that render the water non-potable. This finding is particularly alarming given the region's dependence on water, especially during periods of drought when alternative water sources are scarce.

Esta pesquisa visa identificar as possíveis conexões entre a cultura das "rezadeiras" (curandeiros tradicionais) e o ensino de matemática. Como fundamentação teórica, utilizamos a Etnomatemática e a Modelagem Matemática, o que nos permitiu estabelecer conexões entre o conhecimento matemático advindo de um grupo cultural e o conhecimento produzido academicamente por meio da Etnomodelação, que é a abordagem metodológica norteadora deste estudo. Adicionalmente, utilizamos os métodos da narrativa por meio de entrevistas para coletar os dados que subsidiaram os achados deste artigo. A entrevistada é uma mulher negra residente no Recôncavo da Bahia que trabalhou por muito tempo como rezadeira. Ao conversar com ela, identificamos como a Matemática está presente nas práticas de cura e como esse conhecimento matemático cultural pode ser utilizado para conteúdos matemáticos em sala de aula. Os grandes destaques nessas condições são o ensino de conjuntos por indicação de chá e o ensino de Estatística por meio da pesquisa e produção de dados pelos alunos, capacitando-os a serem protagonistas na construção de seu conhecimento.
