Wetlands are one of the world’s fastest shrinking ecosystems, yet they are home to roughly 43% of all reptile and amphibian species. Sub-Saharan Africa has the fastest growing human population on the planet while also experiencing significant internal migrations of displaced peoples who settle in refugee camps. These camps are often in remote and previously undisturbed areas where interactions with wildlife are common. Reptiles and amphibians can be used to assess the health and resilience of habitats as a result of their sensitivity to environmental conditions. We sampled the herpetofauna of five wetlands located around two major refugee camps in Uganda using time-constrained visual encounter surveys during both nighttime and daytime. We provide baseline data on these wetland populations and compared them using alpha and beta diversity indices. These are the first data for refugee camp herpetofaunal communities, allowing for future comparisons of the effects of increased human pressure within these camps as well as the ability to better incorporate education and management to help conserve these wetlands and the species that inhabit them.

Authors: Hoque Md Enamul , Sarker Mirajul Alam , Alam Md Rubel , Gafur Md Abdul
Published: August 2024

In this study, electrospun nanofiber membranes were successfully fabricated by modifying recycled polyethylene terephthalate (r-PET) with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) for face mask applications. The recycling of PET bottles ensures effective waste management, while the electrospinning process facilitates the creation of delicate nano-range fibers. The inclusion of MWCNTs aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of the resulting nanomembranes. The fabricated samples underwent comprehensive characterization, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultimate tensile testing, particulate filtration efficiency (PFE) testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and antibacterial sensitivity assays, revealing significant findings. MWCNTs incorporation led to minor bead formation in the membranes, with fiber diameters ranging from 446 to 862 nm. However, MWCNTs resulted in reduced stiffness and tensile properties due to the disruption of polymer chain alignment. The nanofiber membranes demonstrated effective filtration of 0.3 µm particulates, achieving filtration rates between 96 to 97%Functional group analysis confirmed the presence of both r-PET and MWCNTs in the composites. Although the r-PET/MWCNTs 12 kV membrane lacked an antibacterial zone of inhibition, it exhibited reductions of 28.64% for S. aureus and 31.9% for E. coli. These results collectively underscore the potential of r-PET/MWCNTs samples as an alternative nanofibrous membrane material for face masks.

Published: August 2024

The export-oriented Garment sector has made crucial contribution to the transformation of the Bangladesh economy. The number of garment industry is now about 5560 and provides employment to as many as 5.0 million workers. Job stress is one of the common problems that employees confront with increasing frequency. Recently job stress is becoming an epidemic in the work environment. This cross sectional study was carried out on a sample of 418 garment workers selected by non-probability sampling technique from two garment factories. The study was done from 1st July 2021 to 30th June 2022 with an objective to assess the level of job stress and related factors in garment workers. Job stress was estimated by using Occupational stress index (OSI) questionnaire; while socio-demographic, behavioral and work related information were obtained using semi structured questionnaire. Among 418 respondents, 71% were female and 21% were male, their mean age was 29.35±6.185 & they were mostly married (72%).  45.2% had no formal education The mean family income and individual income were Tk.13181.07±4826.598 & Tk.6812.10±1029.504 respectively. Among the respondents, 64.4% belong to cutting/sewing section, 79.2% of them were employed for 1 to 5 years & mean duration of employment was 3.78±3.083 years.  Among respondents, 69.9% had moderate stress followed by 17% having low stress and 13.2 % with high stress. Among 12 subscale the mean scores of under participation (mean score = 4.33) and responsibility for person (mean score =4.22) was  higher. It was found that monthly income and compulsory work over time produce odds ratio 0.401, 11.963 respectively. This indicates every additional unit of monthly income, respondents were 0.401 times less likely to develop job stress (OR=.401) and every additional unit of compulsory overtime, respondents were 11.963 times more likely to develop job stress (OR=11.963). There was a significant association of job stress and gender, smoking habit, monthly income and work overtime.  Measures to be taken to alleviate these stressors which can promote the worker in greater contribution in their profession.

Published: August 2024

Methylene blue is a harmful synthetic dye waste component that poses a significant threat to the environment and human health if not disposed of properly. The best way to tackle this problem is by adsorption through activated carbon from Mulu Bebe banana stems, which are widely available in North Maluku. This agricultural waste can be used to produce activated carbon through pyrolysis at 500˚C for 30 minutes and activation using 0.5 M KOH solution for 24 hours. The activated carbon is then characterized using FTIR, SEM and XRD, which reveal the presence of various functional groups and pores. The XRD results indicate that the activated carbon structure tends to be amorphous. The adsorption analysis shows that the activated carbon from Mulu Bebe banana stems has a high adsorption capacity of 12.4 mg/g at the optimum condition of pH 7, contact time of 30 minutes, and initial concentration of 50 ppm. The Langmuir and Freundlich equations provide the best fit for the equilibrium adsorption data. By using activated carbon from Mulu Bebe banana stems, we can effectively reduce the amount of methylene blue waste in the environment and protect the ecosystem and human health.

Authors: Lasmana Indradhi , Ambrosius Raha Lelang Wayan  , Yohana Milo
Published: August 2024

Baumata watershed is located in Kupang district. The land use conditions are mostly forests, paddy fields, with low root depth and play a major role in the process of causing soil damage, accelerating the rate of erosion and increasing the volume of surface runoff. This research examines the current level of erosion hazard in the existing land use of the Baumata Watershed and its area by considering the Regional Spatial Planning (RTRW) of Kupang Regency and its surroundings in the Baumata Watershed. The method used to calculate the rate of erosion is the MUSLE method where the method uses an approach from the surface runoff factor. The data processing uses a Geographic Information System (GIS). The erosion rate watershed is 3,402,685 tons/ha/year with a watershed area of 2,439.35 ha. Land rehabilitation and soil conservation (ARLKT) directions that are appropriate for the conditions of the Baumata watershed are 87 annual crop cultivation areas. 21 % (2,127.42 ha), Seasonal Plant Cultivation Areas 10.67 % (260.38 ha), and Buffer Areas 2.11 % (51.55 ha). The existence of data and information on the magnitude of erosion rates and land criticality in the Baumata watershed in Kupang district can be used to anticipate early landslide disasters in the area.

First detection of Marteilia pararefringens in Mytilus trossulus
Authors: Bøgwald M , Larsson SB , Mortensen S
Published: August 2024

Marteilia pararefringens is a protistan parasite that mainly infects the digestive gland of mussels Mytilus spp. Despite observations of marteiliosis in mussels since the 1970s, the reported host species has generally not been verified by molecular methods. The 3 closely related mussels Mytilus edulis, M. galloprovincialis, and M. trossulus cannot be distinguished morphologically and hybridise in regions where they overlap. Norway is the only country where both M. pararefringens and M. trossulus are known to occur. Here, we report the first detection of marteiliosis, caused by M. pararefringens, in M. trossulus and an M. edulis-M. trossulus hybrid in a heliothermic oyster pond—a poll—in Hardangerfjorden, Norway. The observed infections were severe, containing early, intermediate, and advanced (sporulating) stages present in the digestive epithelium. There was no host reaction associated with the infections. This finding confirms that all known Mytilus species present in Europe are susceptible to M. pararefringens.

INTERCULTURAL LEARNING AS A RESPONSE TO WESTERN HEGEMONY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING IN INDONESIA
Authors: Setyawan Aris
Published: August 2024

There is nothing wrong with using English as a knowledge-generating language alongside Indonesian. The most important part is that we as an Indonesian-speaking community must be able to choose and sort out the elements of English that we want to be included in Indonesian without forgetting our identity as Indonesians. Indonesian people as users of the Indonesian language, use Indonesian. Therefore, we need an innovation in foreign language learning (English) that prioritizes local cultural elements so that students only learn elements of the foreign language. However, the learning content still includes elements of local Indonesian culture. Two things can be done as a form of innovation in learning English that can maintain noble Indonesian values, namely by learning with an intercultural perspective. With this model, students who study a foreign language will not necessarily take on the cultural values of native speakers. Still, rather they will have a comparison of values with the students' local culture and students will be able to take the best attitude from the foreign language learning process.

Authors: Rachmawati Annis , Priatna Dolly , Rosadi Rosadi
Published: August 2024

The Cipalabuan River serves as an ecosystem that provides habitat for many species and as a source of water for industry, agriculture, and drinking. However, growing industrial and residential activity poses a threat to the amount and quality of river water. The river has recently contributed to both liquid and solid waste, which has lowered the quality of the river's water. The Cipalabuan River flows through the city center from upstream to downstream, collecting pollutants from the discharge of local activities along the river's course, including liquid and solid waste. By monitoring and computing the water's quality at a certain location and time, this study seeks to ascertain the current state of water quality. In order to create a sequential explanatory design, a mixed method approach was used, mixing quantitative and qualitative methodologies in parallel. Water quality in the Cipalabuan River is influenced by a number of factors, including the actions of those who use the river as a disposal site, public ignorance of the need to control pollution, competing interests in the management of water resources, and a lack of cooperation between authorized agencies in the management of natural resources and the control of water pollution.

Film is an effective medium for conveying a message. But not every message can be conveyed properly; therefore, it is necessary to formulate the research problem: (1) What is the meaning of the sign of the relationship between different religions from an Islamic perspective in the film Akhirat: A Love Story? This study uses a qualitative approach, with the method used being Roland Barthes' semiotic analysis of "the meaning of the relationship between different religions from an Islamic perspective in the film Akhirat: A Love Story by Jason Iskandar". In this study, Roland Barthes' theory is very relevant for interpreting the sign structure in the film Akhirat: A Love Story. Roland Barthes classifies significance in two stages, namely denotative meaning and connotative meaning. Roland Barthes also adds myth, which is the signifier and has the deepest meaning. Then the analysis in this film is focused on the relationship between different religions, which is the formulation of the problem in this study. From the results of the meaning of the sign structure contained in the film Akhirat: A Love Story, there are several scenes about the relationship between different religions. Then these aspects are analyzed from the perspective of the Islamic religion, with the aim that this research can provide knowledge about interfaith relations. Islam prohibits anyone who does this, which is supported by several arguments in the Qur'an and hadith.

Openness is the key to soft power
Authors: Wu Irene
Published: August 2024

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Cold War began to end, people walked westward, not eastward, pulled by the magnetism of the West’s soft power. If we are on the precipice of another Cold War, the importance of soft power will arise again. My new book Measuring Soft Power in International Relations re-conceptualizes soft power from the perspective of the influenced, rather than the influencer. The result is the Soft Power Rubric, a method for measuring soft power of countries that makes possible country comparisons, historical analysis, and regional assessments. This policy brief ranks soft power countries from 1990 to 2020, identifies Japan’s unique role in American conceptions of soft power; compares the soft power strengths of Russia, China, and India; and identifies countries like Canada, Spain, South Africa, and Australia, where their soft power exceeds their economic and military influence in the world.

Os anuros, que compõem um dos grupos mais diversificados de anfíbios, estão amplamente associados à Mata Atlântica no Brasil. Essa associação está diretamente ligada a fatores não bióticos da Mata Atlântica, como o clima e o regime hidrológico. No Brasil, a Mata Atlântica é um dos biomas mais explorados para atividades pecuárias, incluindo a piscicultura e a ranicultura. Portanto, é razoável supor que áreas destinadas à produção animal, como pisciculturas, possam apresentar menor diversidade de anuros em comparação com áreas conservadas. O objetivo deste estudo foi testar essa hipótese. Mais especificamente, buscou-se: (i) determinar a riqueza de espécies (ii) identificar as mais abundantes e raras; (iii) identificar as espécies mais frequentes ao longo do ano; e, por fim, (iv) avaliar o impacto das variáveis climáticas na presença ou ausência das espécies. Durante o período de outubro de 2020 a setembro de 2021, realizou-se capturas aleatórias de anuros no Centro de Pesquisas e Extensão em Aquicultura Ildo Zago (CEPEA), localizado no município de União da Vitória, Paraná e também registrou-se variáveis climáticas. Para analisar a diversidade de espécies, utilizou-se a curva do coletor e o índice de Mau-Tau, enquanto a abundância foi estimada com base na constância de frequência. A influência das variáveis ambientais na presença ou ausência das espécies foi avaliada por meio de um modelo linear generalizado com distribuição binomial. Foi constatada a presença de 15 espécies, sendo Scinax fuscovarius e Rana catesbiana as mais frequentes, e Boana albopunctata a mais rara. As baixas taxas de precipitação tiveram um efeito negativo na presença das espécies, enquanto a temperatura e a velocidade do vento tiveram efeitos positivos. Além disso, as espécies com nichos ecológicos mais amplos, como Rana catesbiana, demonstraram ser altamente adaptáveis a condições ambientais adversas. Com o intuito de promover um manejo ecologicamente responsável, recomenda-se o controle da população de Rana catesbiana no CEPEA.
Estresse salino e tratamento com ácido salicílico em sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L.) de origem orgânica e convencional

O estresse salino em plantas é provocado pelo excesso de sais minerais no solo e compromete a absorção de água. Atividades antrópicas, como o uso indiscriminado de fertilizantes químicos, podem salinizar o solo. As culturas de hortaliças podem ser sensíveis à salinização o que pode gerar prejuízos econômicos. Compostos naturais como o ácido salicílico (AS) podem promover respostas de defesa ao estresse. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar os efeitos do estresse salino e do pré-tratamento de sementes com AS em alface de origem orgânica e convencional. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizados organizados em três blocos para cada tratamento e quatro repetições em que sementes de alface foram expostas a 6h de pré-tratamento com AS e germinadas na presença de soluções de cloreto de sódio (NaCl) com potenciais hídricos de -0,3 e -0,6 MPa, em estufa do tipo BOD com temperatura e fotoperíodo controlados. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: germinação total, índice de velocidade de germinação, comprimento da radícula e teores de clorofilas e carotenoides. O tratamento de -0,3 MPa não comprometeu a germinação e crescimento inicial de alface. O tratamento de -0,6 reduziu a germinação e comprometeu o comprimento das radículas. O pré-tratamento com AS melhorou a germinação e crescimento inicial das plantas de alface. Os teores de clorofilas das plântulas de origem orgânica aumentaram no tratamento -0,3 com AS e foram reduzidos para as plantas de origem convencional no tratamento -0,6 sem AS. Os teores de carotenos não foram afetados pelos tratamentos.

Introduction

Peanut allergy (PA) in children is a major concern. There is a need for better biological material for both diagnosis and oral immunotherapy (OIT) treatments. The unique state of seeds at early reproductive stages may affect the allergenicity of storage proteins, and impact clinical diagnostic and OIT protocols. The objective of this study was to evaluate the major allergen content in sequential seed developmental stages and monitor allergenicity via specific IgE binding quantification and skin prick testing.

Methods

Seeds were collected from peanut plants and sorted into five developmental stages: initial (S1), developing (S2), full-size without coloration (S3), full-size with coloration (S4), and fully mature (S5) seeds. Samples were characterized by RNA-Seq, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry. Lyophilized, ground preparations were used for evaluation of skin test responses in sixty challenge-proven PA children.

Results

Gene expression, protein content, and specific IgE binding of allergenic proteins increased throughout seed maturation and development. An expression bias towards the less allergenic A-genome copy of the major allergen Ara h 2 was found in earlier stages, especially in stage S2. Immunohistochemical staining showed that Ara h 2 is more dispersed in the cell and less accumulated within organized bodies at stage S2 versus stage S4. Significant differences were found in mean wheal responses between the commercial peanut extract (equivalent to stage S5) and stages S1 and S2, but not with stage S4, upon skin prick testing in subjects with PA.

Discussion

The observed decrease in peanut-specific IgE binding of immature peanut seeds may be a result not only of decreased amounts of allergenic proteins, but also of profound changes in seed composition and conformation. This may be significant for developing a safer and more effective peanut OIT protocol.
