Processing Rumbia Starch Into Glucose Powder by Enzymatic Hydrolysis with Optimum Saccharification Temperature
Authors: Alzena Joan Nasya , Dewi Erwana , Junaidi Robert
Published: December 2023

Glucose powder is glucose in solid form which has the main component of glucose syrup obtained from starch hydrolysis, including sago from rumbia starch. As the population increases, it increases consumption of sugar as a sweetener for basic necessities such as food and drinks, the purposes of this research is identifying the optimum temperature for saccharification of the glucose powder produced from the enzyme hydrolysis process. This research used an enzyme hydrolysis process with the stages of gelatinization, liquification and saccharification for 72 hours with variations in temperature of 40°C, 50°C, 60°C and 70°C and obtained the optimum temperature results from these four temperatures. The optimal saccharification temperature is achieved by incubating at 50°C and 60°C with an incubation time of 72 hours or 3 days

Prisons are closed places with high occupancy rates and are very vulnerable to the spread of Global Pandemic, so a policy from the government is needed to prevent the spread of Global Pandemic in the prison environment..This study uses a normative juridical approach and an empirical juridical approach. Collecting data by field studies and literature studies. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative juridical manner, namely the analysis was carried out descriptively. Research results discussImplementing prison authoritiesis a Class I prison policy in Bandar Lampung which applies visitation restrictions for inmates in the form of online visits via Whatsapp media based on the instructions of the Director General of Corrections Number: PAS-08.OT.02.02 of 2020 concerning Prevention, Handling, Control and Recovery of Corona Virus Disease (Global Pandemic) at the Correctional Technical Implementation Unit. The inhibiting factor consists of interference with the internet connection at the destination number. is a network problem that is used for online visitation services with the Correctional Database System and does not yet have a special network with the Correctional Database System and the current factor of facilities for video call services is still very lacking, because when conditions are crowded the queues of inmates to be able to use online visit services are sufficient long.
Casa de patios y espacio doméstico. Cambios y continuidades entre los siglos XVIII y XIX, Córdoba (Argentina)
Authors: Moreyra Cecilia
Published: December 2023

El artículo describe e indaga las variaciones o continuidades que la vivienda a patios experimentó en la ciudad de Córdoba entre finales del siglo XVIII y finales del XIX. Para ello comparamos dos planos de viviendas a patios que datan de finales del siglo XVIII, el primero, de finales del siglo XIX, el segundo; contenidos en juicios sucesorios conservados en la serie Escribanías del Archivo Histórico de la Provincia de Córdoba. Las viviendas representadas en los planos se situaron en espacios centrales de la traza urbana y fueron propiedad y habitación de familias de privilegiada posición socioeconómica. Del ejercicio comparativo se constatará que, aun manteniéndose en el tiempo la estructura edilicia a patios, cambia el lugar que ciertos cuartos ocupan dentro de la jerarquía doméstica y emergen habitaciones con funciones específicas.
EL IMPUESTO PARA LA EDUCACIÓN TÉCNICA DURANTE LA ÚLTIMA DICTADURA CÍVICO MILITAR ARGENTINA (1976-1983)
Authors: D’Ascanio Gabriela Andrea
Published: December 2023

En la historiografía de la educación argentina los análisis económicos constituyen un déficit. Este artículo pretende aportar a ese campo de conocimiento a través del estudio del derrotero del Impuesto para la educación técnica durante la última dictadura cívico militar. Se analizan las transformaciones del tributo, que formaba parte de los fondos presupuestados en el Consejo Nacional de Educación Técnica, y los límites que tuvieron las iniciativas de los funcionarios de educación frente a las disposiciones emanadas por el Ministerio de Economía. El análisis de fuentes documentales gubernamentales, legislativas y periodísticas permiten concluir que, las políticas que incidieron en el régimen de financiamiento de la educación técnica, fueron guiadas por intereses económicos y no pedagógicos, y que las contradicciones que existieron en las disposiciones implementadas sólo pueden comprenderse considerando la coyuntura de racionalización del aparato estatal.
AFECTIVIDAD Y LIRISMO EN NOSILATIAJ, LA BELLEZA DE DANIELA SEGGIARO: UN ABORDAJE SOBRE LA REPRESENTACIÓN DEL PUEBLO WICHÍ
Authors: Aban Ana Gabriela
Published: December 2023

Este trabajo versa sobre la representación del pueblo wichí en la película Nosilatiaj, la belleza (2012) de Daniela Seggiaro. En el marco de una propuesta fílmica que explora una dimensión lírica-afectiva, el objetivo es analizar esta dimensión como modo de aproximación al universo cultural y simbólico de la comunidad wichí a partir de los aportes de Didi-Huberman y de las especulaciones teóricas sobre el llamado “giro afectivo”. La problemática de la representación de los pueblos dialoga también con un enfoque decolonial y estudios subalternos. Se postula, así, un abordaje de Nosilatiaj… en tanto territorio de lo sensible en el que se articulan las intensidades de un tejido social complejo con la experiencia afectiva de la realizadora, a través de un montaje fílmico que privilegia lo sensorial y la belleza de un pueblo sometido a condiciones que dificultan su subsistencia. El filme ensaya formas cinematográficas que presentifican el universo simbólico de la comunidad wichí a partir del trabajo con el cuerpo singular de la protagonista y a través de una visualidad perceptiva que posibilita evocar los vínculos vitales con la cultura de origen.

How Does Schooling Affect Inequality in Cognitive Skills? The View From Seasonal Comparison Research
Authors: Downey Douglas B.
Published: December 2023

A small subset of education studies analyzes school data collected seasonally (separating the summer from the school year). At first, this work was primarily known for documenting learning loss in the summers, but scholars have since recognized that observing how inequality changes between summer and school periods provides leverage for understanding how schools influence inequality. Results based on this analytic technique confirm current views in some ways, but in other ways the patterns challenge existing wisdom. For example, Black/White gaps in math and reading skills often grow faster when school is in versus out, consistent with the view that schools exacerbate racial inequality. But socioeconomic gaps produce the opposite pattern, suggesting that schools are compensatory across this dimension. In this review, I consider the logic behind seasonal research, the empirical patterns it has produced, and the kinds of new questions it motivates.
Empirical Study for Capturing and Allocating Significant Risk Factors in School Construction Projects in Iraq
Authors: Abed Hayder Razzaq , Rashid Hatim A.
Published: December 2023

In Iraq, more than 1031 school projects have been halted due to disputes and claims resulting from financial, contractual, or other issues. This research aims to identify, prioritize, and allocate the most critical risk factors that threaten these projects’ success for the duration (2017-2022). Based on a multi-step methodology developed through systematic literature reviews, realistic case studies, and semi-structured interviews, 47 risk factors were identified. Based on 153 verified responses, the survey reveals that the top-ranked risk factors are corruption and bribery, delaying the payments of the financial dues to the contractors or sub-contractors, absence of risk management strategy, multiple change orders due to changing designs and specifications during construction; inaccuracy in time and budget estimation; construction material price; financial and economic crisis/financial instability; selecting the contractor only based on the lowest bid, regardless of technical competence; instability within the political system of the government/instability of the government as a client; foreign exchange rates fluctuate against the Iraqi dinar. The study also showed that the respondents recommended allocating four risks to the owner, eight risk factors to the contractor, one risk to the consultant, and 32 factors allocated as shared. The study concluded that the results could help identify the most critical risks facing this type of project and the contracting party that can bear the risks and manage them efficiently.
Deep Learning of Diabetic Retinopathy Classification in Fundus Images
Authors: Ali Abeer Ahmed , Dawood Faten Abd Ali
Published: December 2023

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease in diabetic patients due to damage to the small blood vessels in the retina due to high and low blood sugar levels. Accurate detection and classification of Diabetic Retinopathy is an important task in computer-aided diagnosis, especially when planning for diabetic retinopathy surgery. Therefore, this study aims to design an automated model based on deep learning, which helps ophthalmologists detect and classify diabetic retinopathy severity through fundus images. In this work, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning and fine tunes has been proposed by using pre-trained networks known as Residual Network-50 (ResNet-50). The overall framework of the proposed classification model is divided into three major phases, including pre-processing, training the Resnet-50 network, and classification with evaluation. In the first phase, pre-processing techniques are applied to the APTOS2019 fundus images dataset to find the best features and highlight some fine details of these images. The resnet-50 network was trained in the second phase using the training set and saved the best model obtained that gives high accuracy during the training process. Finally, this saved model has been implemented on the testing dataset for classification DR grades. The proposed model shows good and best classification performance, which was obtained with an accuracy of 98.3%, a precision of 98.4%, an F1-Score of 98.5 % and the recall of 98.4%.
Numerical Simulation of Pile Group Response in Slope Layered Soil under the Effect of Seismic Loading
Authors: Ismael Mustafa A. , Ahmed Balqees A.
Published: December 2023

This work investigates the effect of earthquakes on the stability of a collective pile subjected to seismic loads in the soil layer. Plaxis 3D 2020 finite element software modeled pile behavior in dry soils with sloping layers. The results showed a remarkable fluctuation between the earthquakes, where the three earthquakes (Halabja, El Centro, and Kobe) and the acceleration peak in the Kobe earthquake had a time of about 11 seconds. Different settlement results were shown, as different values were recorded for the three types of earthquakes. Settlement ratios were increased by increasing the seismic intensity; hence the maximum settlement was observed with the model under the effect of the Kobe earthquake (0.58 g), where subsidence values at the three tremors differed between the pile distribution pattern. The highest drop recorded by the results was 60 mm in a distribution pattern 2×3. In general, increasing the size of the cap leads to an additional drop due to the weight of the cap.

Building Political Hashtag Communities: A Multiplex Network Analysis of U.S. Senators on Twitter during the 2022 Midterm Elections
Authors: Orhan Yunus Emre , Pirim Harun , Akbulut Yusuf
Published: December 2023

This study examines how U.S. senators strategically used hashtags to create political communities on Twitter during the 2022 Midterm Elections. We propose a way to model topic-based implicit interactions among Twitter users and introduce the concept of Building Political Hashtag Communities (BPHC). Using multiplex network analysis, we provide a comprehensive view of elites’ behavior. Through AI-driven topic modeling on real-world data, we observe that, at a general level, Democrats heavily rely on BPHC. Yet, when disaggregating the network across layers, this trend does not uniformly persist. Specifically, while Republicans engage more intensively in BPHC discussions related to immigration, Democrats heavily rely on BPHC in topics related to identity and women. However, only a select group of Democratic actors engage in BPHC for topics on labor and the environment—domains where Republicans scarcely, if at all, participate in BPHC efforts. This research contributes to the understanding of digital political communication, offering new insights into echo chamber dynamics and the role of politicians in polarization.

What is parental monitoring?

Published: December 2023

Parental monitoring is a construct of longstanding interest in multiple fields—but what is it? This paper makes two contributions to the ongoing debate. First, we review how the published literature has defined and operationalized parental monitoring. We show that the monitoring construct has often been defined in an indirect and nonspecific fashion and measured using instruments that vary widely in conceptual content. The result has been a disjointed empirical literature that cannot accurately be described as the unified study of a single construct nor is achieving a cumulative scientific character. Second, we offer a new formulation of the monitoring construct intended to remedy this situation. We define parental monitoring as the set of all behaviors performed by caregivers with the goal of acquiring information about the youth’s activities and life. We introduce a taxonomy identifying 5 distinct types of monitoring behaviors (Types 1-5), with each behavior varying along five dimensions (performer, target, frequency, context, style). We distinguish parental monitoring from 16 other parenting constructs it is often conflated with and position monitoring as one element within the broader parent-youth monitoring process: the continuous, dyadic interplay between caregivers and youth as they navigate caregivers’ attempts to monitor youth. By offering an explicit and detailed conceptualization of monitoring, we aim to foster more rigorous and impactful research in this area.
Systems thinking, rhizomes, and community-based qualitative research: An introduction to nomadic thematic analysis
Authors: Brailas Alexios , Papachristopoulos Konstantinos
Published: December 2023

In this chapter, we introduce nomadic thematic analysis, a community-based research method informed by systems thinking and complex systems epistemology. nomadic thematic analysis combines both data production and analysis/synthesis phases into an integrated method. Participants work collaboratively to produce and analyze the data, and to identify and interconnect, in a nomadic way, the themes produced. The researchers are responsible for facilitating and catalyzing the whole process; to set the research collective into motion. Meanwhile, they intervene when necessary to maintain the optimal conditions for the group to work and evolve. The proposed method engages participants in meaningful interactions, catalyzing the further development of the community. Participants reflect on the research questions, share their reflections, work in small groups to co-create multimodal artifacts, synthesize, and share their contributions in a plenary session. Research facilitators provide their feedback, and the research cycle can be repeated. Repeated cycles of making and sharing, along with dense group interactions, help participants in fostering meaningful bonds, negotiating collective meaning, and developing their community. In this way, nomadic thematic analysis moves beyond a process for merely producing and analyzing data; it becomes a transformative process for individual and collective development.
Elevated unanticipated acoustic startle reactivity in dyslexia

Published: December 2023

People with dyslexia, a neurodevelopmental disorder of reading, are highly attuned to the emotional world. Compared to their typically developing peers, children with dyslexia exhibit greater autonomic nervous system reactivity and facial behavior to emotion- and empathy-inducing film clips. Affective symptoms, such as anxiety, are also more common in children with dyslexia than in those without. Here, we investigated whether the startle response, an automatic reaction that lies at the interface of emotion and reflex, is elevated in dyslexia. We measured facial behavior, electrodermal reactivity (a sympathetic nervous system measure), and emotional experience in response to a 100 ms, 105 dB unanticipated acoustic startle task in 30 children with dyslexia and 20 comparison children without dyslexia (aged 7-13) who were matched on age, sex, and nonverbal reasoning. Our results indicated that the children with dyslexia had greater total facial behavior and electrodermal reactivity to the acoustic startle task than the children without dyslexia. Across the sample, greater electrodermal reactivity during the startle predicted greater parent-reported anxiety symptoms. These findings contribute to an emerging picture of heightened emotional reactivity in dyslexia and suggest accentuated sympathetic nervous system reactivity may contribute to the elevated anxiety that is often seen in this population.
The concise language paradigm (CLaP), a framework for studying the intersection of comprehension and production: Electrophysiological properties
Authors: Roos Natascha , Chauvet Julia , Piai Vitória
Published: December 2023

Studies investigating language commonly isolate one modality or process, focusing on comprehension or production. Here, we present a framework for a paradigm that combines both: the Concise Language Paradigm (CLaP), tapping into comprehension and production within one trial. The trial structure is identical across conditions, presenting a sentence followed by a picture to be named. We tested 21 healthy speakers with EEG to examine three time periods during a trial (sentence, pre-picture interval, picture onset), yielding contrasts of sentence comprehension, contextually and visually guided word retrieval, object recognition, and naming. In the CLaP, sentences are presented auditorily (constrained, unconstrained, reversed), and pictures appear as normal (constrained, unconstrained, bare) or scrambled objects. Imaging results revealed different evoked responses after sentence onset for normal and time-reversed speech. Further, we replicated the context effect of alpha-beta power decreases before picture onset for constrained relative to unconstrained sentences, and could clarify that this effect arises from power decreases following constrained sentences. Brain responses locked to picture-onset differed as a function of sentence context and picture type (normal vs. scrambled), and naming times were fastest for pictures in constrained sentences, followed by scrambled picture naming, and equally fast for bare and unconstrained picture naming. Finally, we also discuss the potential of the CLaP to be adapted to different focuses, using different versions of the linguistic content and tasks, in combination with electrophysiology or other imaging methods. These first results of the CLaP indicate that this paradigm offers a promising framework to investigate the language system.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: To assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an onlinereal-time mindfulness-based program for mothers of NICU graduates in Japan.Methods: 20 Japanese mothers of children who used to be hospitalized in the NICU used “MELON Online”, a Japanese online mindfulness-based program, for 4 weeks. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of MELON Online, assessed through program usage frequency and post-intervention group interviews, respectively. The secondary objective focused on investigating preliminary efficacy of the intervention on trait anxiety, parenting stress, mindfulness, and self-compassion. This was examined using paired samples t-tests and Hedge's g effect size estimates.Results: Average completion weeks across the 20 mothers was 2.5 weeks. 15 participants completed the program for two weeks or more, and 85% of participants completed at least one of the two post-intervention assessments. Among the 16 pre- and post-intervention survey completers, there was a statistically significant reduction in trait anxiety. Live classes were more strongly associated with improvements to mindfulness than archival courses. In the post-intervention group interviews, participants reported a number of perceived benefits, including positive changes in their daily stress response patterns. No adverse events or perceived drawbacks were raised. Participants also suggested many concrete ways to make MBIs more feasible and acceptable for caregivers of preterm infants in Japan.Conclusions: This study provided preliminary evidence that a brief online real-time mindfulness-based program is feasible, acceptable, and efficacious, particularly in reducing trait anxiety in caregivers of children admitted to the NICU.
The Use and Disuse of Historical Counterfactuals in Process- and Contrastive Historiography: Insights from Causal Pre-emption
Authors: Jeong Tay
Published: December 2023

Process historiography seeks to identify past events that led up to or brought about a certain outcome of interest. Contrastive historiography seeks to identify past occurrences without which the outcome of interest would not have occurred. Both can be theorized in the language of counterfactuals, but the practical necessity of counterfactual reasoning differs by each type in large part due to complications arising from causal pre-emption. Drawing on a recent version of the Halpern-Pearl account of actual causality, we explain the intimate relationship between the process- and contrastive modes of historiography while accounting for the seeming ease with which historians conduct the former based on knowledge of actual events alone. The theoretical distinction between process- and contrastive historiography has direct methodological implications for the practice of comparative history depending on whether it is sameness- or difference-explaining. We advocate a methodologically moderate approach to counterfactual reasoning in scientific historiography.
Empowerment or Indoctrination? Female Training Programs under Dictatorship
Authors: Gonzalez Felipe , Prem Mounu , von Dessauer Cristine
Published: December 2023

Autocrats often control social organizations to disseminate their ideology. We examine the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile (1973–1990), where conservative military forces controlled female social organizations to promote traditional roles for women as mothers and housewives. Partnering with higher education institutions, the dictatorship delivered training programs aimed at fostering domestic skills. Our findings reveal these programs facilitated women’s entry into the labor market without changing their political views. Decades later, these programs are still linked to higher female labor force participation among women directly exposed during the dictatorship and their daughters raised in democracy.
The concept of statistical significance is meaningless, misleading and mostly unnecessary – concerns with the statistical analysis in the special issue of the Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution on the research topic “Conservation of invertebrates in agricultural landscapes” (Williams, Gormally, Moran, & mcDonnell, 2023)
Authors: Xie Gang
Published: December 2023

This is a rejected Letter to Editor submitted to Models in Ecology and Evolution. The specialty chief editor rejected this manuscript because 'The use/mis-use of frequentist statistical approaches in the analysis of ecological data is an ongoing subject of interest. And I generally agree with the comments you raise in the opinion piece and do feel that the discussion around the use of p-values in the context of both experimental and observational ecology continues to be warranted. However, we are unable to accept this article for consideration. My perspective is that it's not appropriate to comment on this topic by highlighting problems in the research topic "Conservation of invertebrates in agricultural landscapes" that you was a part of. The issue of the use and abuse of frequentist statistics is much broader than this particular set of papers (and has been the subject of a number of publications already). So, I think that it’s probably unfair to the authors of this set of papers to be brought up as exemplars of what not do to in terms of using frequentist statistical approaches.'
Digital Formation Processes: A High Frequency, Large-Scale Investigation
Authors: Clindaniel Jon , Magnani Matthew
Published: December 2023

Large sources of digital trace data (i.e. “Big Data”) have become increasingly important in the study of material culture. However, akin to the offline material culture traditionally studied by archaeologists, digital trace data is rarely a passive reflection of human behavior – it is a complex palimpsest produced through a variety of erasure and accretion formation processes. To better understand how digital trace palimpsests are formed and how digital formation processes influence and inform our ability to interpret the offline material processes they index, we introduce a computational method – high-frequency archaeological survey – which allows us to observe digital formation processes at a high temporal resolution, as well as a large spatial scale. Using this method every hour for one month, we surveyed posts from across the United States in Craigslist's “Free Stuff” category (popularly called “Curb Alert”), a user-generated source of big digital trace data, indexing material things that have been placed on users' curbs for removal by scavengers or trash collectors. For each post, we observed its time-to-erasure and any edits that were made during the study period – finding that the posts that survive represent a biased sample of those that were posted over the course of the month, conditioned by how recently and on what day the post is posted, the material characteristics of things that are posted about, as well as regional variation. Far from only being evidence of biased end-of-month data, however, we show that further analysis of identified digital formation processes can be an important object of study in its own right – in this case, shedding new light on social scientific questions linking the exchange of “free stuff” with the process of social stratification and urban inequality in the United States. Overall, our findings suggest the importance of accounting for and explicitly analyzing digital formation processes in studies that utilize digital trace data.
Unpacking pathways to a circular economy: a study of packaging innovations in Germany
Authors: Simoens Machteld
Published: December 2023

The transition to a circular economy is a major goal for the German packaging sector, however, the pathway towards this goal remains unclear. This situation is also reflected in the variety of packaging innovations currently being developed by industry actors. This study contributes to this debate by (1) providing a comprehensive overview of the sustainable packaging innovations currently being developed; (2) analyzing the transition pathway narratives underpinning these innovations; and (3) outlining the overlaps, tensions and shortcomings of these pathways for a successful circular economy transition. As such, this provides an empirical basis for a more informed and reflexive understanding of current and future transition processes in the German packaging sector and for discussing the desirability of currently ongoing transition pathways.
The Organizational Demography of the Qing Civil Service, 1830-1912
Authors: Campbell Cameron , Gao Shuaiqi
Published: December 2023

We study the organizational demography of the Qing civil service from 1830 to 1911. Before the 20th century, the Qing bureaucracy was one of the largest non-military organizations in the world in terms of numbers of regular employees. At any given time, approximately 13,000 officials held formal appointments. We present the basic features of its organizational demography using data on nearly all civil officials with formal appointments from 1830 to 1912. We make use of longitudinally linked records of officials in the China Government Employee Database – Jinshenlu (CGED-Q JSL) to reconstruct rates of exit from service, the career lengths of officials, and the number of years since first appointment for currently serving officials. While previous studies of the Qing have examined turnover in specific types of posts, they have not considered the dynamics of complete careers. We find that exit rates in the first year of service were high and then low and stable afterward. While most officials only served for a short time, currently serving officials were relatively experienced. We also show that rates of exit from service declined for much of the last half of the 19th century, and then increased in the first decade of the 20th century. Declining turnover in the last half of the 19th century would have reduced opportunities for degree holders seeking posts and for officials seeking promotion at a time when the number of holders of purchased degrees competing for posts was increasing. We also compare different categories of officials. The results not only illuminate basic features of the organizational demography of Qing officialdom, but also provide a baseline for interpreting results from case studies of specific groups of officials or specific time periods.
Towards a Public Sustainable Finance Paradigm for the Green Transition

Sustainable finance is often discussed as a solution to the climate crisis, but its impacts are limited and its discourse focusses on mobilizing private investments through public de-risking, without considering direct government action. We argue that this is due to an implicit reference to mainstream economic theory assuming that an active state leads to time inconsistency problems and crowding-out effects. However, these assumptions have been sufficiently refuted as public investments may actually crowd-in private capital. We therefore propose a paradigm shift towards what we call “Public Sustainable Finance”, geared at empowering the role of the state in the Green Transition on the discursive, policy, and political economy levels. Studying the case of Germany, we show how Public Sustainable Finance can be introduced despite tight fiscal regimes. To this end, we propose that – and describe how – the Klima- und Transformationsfonds (KTF) be given its own borrowing powers. By borrowing an average of 23 billion euros annually from 2024 to 2030, the existing financing gap that has been exacerbated following the November 2023 constitutional court ruling can be closed, enabling a more rapid and effective Green Transition.

Desa kelor merupakan salah satu desa di Kecamatan kecamatan Karangmojo, Gunungkidul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Desa ini memiliki potensi yang perlu diperhatikan yaitu tanaman kelor, jambu biji, bawang merah dan lain-lain. Tanaman kelor, jambu biji, bawang merah masih dijual sebatas buah dan daun. Masyarakat belum mengolah buah dan daun menjadi produk inovasi pasca panen.selain itu, UMKM yang ada dalam memasarkan masih bersifat tradisional dan belum menggunakan teknologi sehingga pasar nya masih terbatas. Pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk memperkenalkan digital marketing terutama sosial media marketing sebagai upaya peningkatan pangsa pasar. Pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini dilakukan dalam bentuk incubator marketing yang terdiri dari beberapa tahapan. Tahapan pertama berupa sosialisasi digital marketing. Nantinya, kegiatan akan dilanjutkan berupa pelatihan dan dilanjutkan dengan praktik pembuatan secara langsung (bimtek) oleh peserta. Hasil yang diperoleh yaitu peserta mengetahui dan memahami sosial media marketing dan bentuk-bentuknya. Selain itu, sosialisasi ini dapat memberikan kemampuan peserta dalam menganalisis pasar dan ide bisnis yang dapat dikembangkan.

Waste is an unresolved government problem. The largest waste collection site (TPS) in Yogyakarta, TPS Piyungan, is starting to get tired of collecting waste from various corners of Yogyakarta. One of the efforts to overcome this problem, the government instructed the Waste Sorting Movement. Based on the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the composition of waste in Indonesia is dominated by organic waste, which reaches 57% of the total landfill. Organic waste can be processed by cultivating BSF Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens). BSF is a black fly whose maggots (larvae) can degrade organic waste. Maggots (maggots) produced from black fly eggs are very active in eating organic waste. This bioconversion process by maggots can degrade waste more quickly, is odorless, and produces organic compost, and the larvae can be a good source of protein for poultry and fish feed. Maggots have the ability to break down organic waste 2 to 5 times their body weight for 24 hours. One kilogram of maggot can consume 2 to 5 kilograms of organic waste per day. Maggots that have become prepupae and BSF fly carcasses can still be used as animal feed because they are rich in protein. The cocoons can also be used as fertilizer. This process was socialized to Sub Urban groups in the Padukuhan Dukuh, Sidoharjo, Ngaglik, Sleman areas, as a response to the unresolved waste problem. Activities are carried out by: Carrying out outreach related to waste problems and BSF maggot cultivation, Carrying out waste sorting training, Carrying out training on BSF maggot cultivation, Distribution of rubbish bins to residents (partners) as containers to accommodate organic waste, Creation of organic waste storage areas, Construction of BSF Maggot houses , Breeding activities, maintenance and harvesting of BSF maggots, Packaging of BSF Maggot products, Sales of BSF Maggot products

Sampah telah menjadi permasalahan nasional sehingga pengelolaannya perlu dilakukan secara komprehensif dan terpadu dari hulu ke hilir agar memberikan manfaat menguntungkan, sehat bagi masyarakat dan aman bagi lingkungan, serta dapat mengubah perilaku masyarakat. Dusun Wonocatur Desa Banguntapan Kapanewon Banguntapan Kabupaten Bantul Yogyakarta memiliki pasar tradisional yang menghasilkan limbah organik yang berlimpah. Permasalahan utama adalah tidak tersedianya fasilitas pengelolaan limbah pasar baik limbah organik maupun limbah anorganik. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk menerapkan bioteknologi budidaya Maggot dan membuat mikrooragnisme local (MOL) dari limbah organik sampah pasar. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini adalah: Ceramah, diskusi, pelatihan, praktek dan pendampingan. Sampah organik berupa limbah sayur dan buah merupakan nutrisi bagi Maggot, Magot merupakan salah satu serangga potensial berupa Black Soldier Fly atau Lalat Tentara Hitam, Spesies ini diketahui tidak membawa dan atau menularkan penyakit seperti lalat rumah/lalat hijau. Maggot memiliki kelebihan untuk dimanfaatkan, diantaranya mampu menguraikan beragam sampah organik dan  sangat baik sebagai pakan alternatif untuk ikan, unggas dll. Limbah organik sebagai bahan baku untuk membuat mikroorganisme lokal (MOL) karena memiliki kandungan unsur hara dan mikroorganisme pengurai sebagai pupuk hayati, pupuk organik cair yang bermanfaat bagi tanaman. Dari hasil kegiatan dapat disimpulkan, bahwa masyarakat sangat tertarik dengan budidaya maggot dan pupuk organik cair atau MOL.Luaran yang dihasilkan adalah: Bioteknologi budidaya Maggot dan Mikroorganisme Lokal (MOL), Produk turunan Maggot (telur, bibit, fress Maggot, pupa) yang memiliki nilai jual,  pupuk padat kasgot, produk MOL atau pupuk organik cair  yang berkualitas.

Bovine colostrum (BC) is a natural substance that has been shown of benefits for exercising, and reducing the blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes. Stress hyperglycemia is a brief rise in blood glucose levels caused by physiological stress. This placebo-controlled clinical study aimed to investigate the effects of BC on stress hyperglycemia and the triglyceride-glucose index in healthy subjects who trained in resistance exercise. This research was carried out at Al-Kut University College from April 30th to November 30th, 2022. Fifty healthy young men were randomly assigned: Group I (n = 24) received a placebo, whereas Group II (n = 26) received a 500mg single oral dosage of BC nutraceutical pill. During the treatment period, both groups of volunteers engaged in resistance exercise training. Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), stress glucose ratio (SGR), triglyceride-glucose index (TyGI), and rate pressure product (as a hemodynamic response) were all measured at the start and end of the eight-week study.‎ Stress blood glucose levels were considerably higher in Group II following resistance training (89.0±6.5 vs 102.1±11.5mg/dL, p<0.001), whereas stress HbA1c% did not alter (4.70±0.25 vs 4.66±0.29, p=0.608). Bovine colostrum significantly increases the SGR from 1.01±0.03 to 1.18±0.13, p<0.001. The TyGI at the stress glucose level was increased by 2.7%.  We conclude that bovine colostrum significantly elevates the stress hyperglycemic ratio without inducing significant changes in the TyGI following exercise. This impact is accompanied by a stabilizing hemodynamic response.
