The welfare of farmers has an impact on poverty levels, food security and economic stability in a country. Welfare is a situation where a citizen feels that their situation has been well met for all their needs both materially, spiritually and socially. The aim of this research is firstly to compare the welfare of the community of rubber farmers and palm oil farmers in Durian Bungkuk Village, Batu Ampar District and secondly, to analyze the types of farmers that have an impact on the welfare of the people of Durian Bungkuk Village, Batu Ampar District. This research uses three sustainable welfare variables, namely income/economy, education and health. This research uses a quantitative method by determining respondents using the census method. Management of this data analysis uses homogeneity tests, normality tests and independent t-tests with the SPSS 25 application. Analysis of the types of farmers who provide more prosperity uses the largest average data of respondents' answers from the Likert Scale. The homogeneity test results obtained a significance value of 0.717. The normality test results showed that the significance value for rubber farmers was 0.124, while the significance value for oil palm farmers was 0.082. The results of the independent t-test between rubber farmers and oil palm farmers obtained a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.000, meaning that there is a difference in the average income of rubber and oil palm farmers. The average result per variable and the average respondent's answer was that the rubber farmer's yield was 3.55 while the palm oil farmer's yield was 3.15, so that rubber farmers provided more welfare than palm oil farmers for the community in Durian Bungkuk village, Batu Ampar district.

Urban forest planning is not without obstacles, and one of them is the lack of research on the urban forest planning of the Mendawai Seberang Subdistrict, particularly in Pangkalan Bun City as a whole. Therefore, there is a need for spatial research aimed at determining whether the location of the urban forest plan aligns with the West Kotawaringin Regency Spatial Planning 2017-2037 and the criteria for urban forests based on Government Regulation No. 3 of 2002 on Urban Forests. Additionally, an analysis of land cover and the Urban Heat Index (UHI) in the urban forest plan location is also supported. The objective of this research is to evaluate the land cover and Urban Heat Index (UHI) in Pangkalan Bun City. The purposive sampling method was used, with a total of 50 survey points. The results of this research indicate that the land cover in the research location consists of Mixed Residential Buildings, Swamp/Peatland Forests, Scrubland, Rivers, and Seasonal Dryland Crops. Based on the survey results, the accuracy test calculation using the Kappa method shows that the kappa value in this research is 0.86, which is considered good as it approaches 1. Furthermore, the land cover has an impact on temperature increase in the study area.

Authors: Ramadhana Muhammad Fikri , Pudrianisa Sheila Lestari Giza
Published: December 2024

Tourist villages are a forum for village communities to develop tourism products because they have various potentials in terms of nature, food and culture as the identity of tourist attractions. One of them is the Merapi Turgo Tourism Village which is located on the slopes of Mount Merapi, Padukuhan Turgo, Purwobinangun Village, Pakem District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. The village has various tourism potentials. However, the lack of good management and promotion has made the village little known. The problems faced make it difficult for the village to develop, especially in getting investors. So from the results of observations, researchers discovered the fact that one way to overcome this is through making promotional videos, because online media currently dominates various forms of effective marketing. In making promotional videos, an important role is needed from a team of experts in their fields, both in the pre-production, production and post-production processes. One of the crucial roles is the Editor because in making a film or video, the cameraman's shooting process is still not structured so the role of the editor in post-production is very necessary to package tourism promotional videos more attractively. Editors at Turgo Tourism Village in making Tourism Promotion Videos use editing techniques such as cutting, light leak zoom in and zoom out transitions, fading, appropriate motion graphics, adjusted color grading so that the video results are better. interestingly, the author uses Adobe Premiere Pro software because this software has many features that help the author in the video editing process.

Published: December 2024

Siswa-siswi SMK Yayasan Pharmasi dahulu terkenal santun kepada bapak dan ibu guru mereka. Namun, berdasarkan wawancara kepada bapak dan ibu guru di SMK pada sekolah yang mayoritas siswanya adalah perempuan, pada saat ini anak-anak kurang cakap dalam berbahasa santun khususnya anak-anak perhotelan. Padahal, kesantunan berbahasa ini adalah faktor penting bagi mereka ketika masih bersekolah bahkan setelah lulus. Ada banyak akibat yang muncul jika kondisi tersebut dibiarkan, yaitu siswa tidak akan menghormati dan menyegani guru dan orang yang lebih tua. Ketika guru berbicara, siswa-siswi akan enggan untuk mendengarkan. Siswa-siswi juga akan menganggap guru sebagai teman, bukan panutan. Bahkan yang paling miris adalah siswa dapat saja berkata-kata kasar dan melakukan kekerasan kepada bapak-ibu gurunya. Penelitian Dwijayanti (2023) menunjukkan bahwa anak yang dibiarkan kurang sopan-santun bisa berakibat pada penurunan prestasi belajarnya di sekolah. Oleh sevbab itu, siswa-siswi ini membutuhkan pelatihan/ pendampingan untuk memberikan pengetahuan dan pemahaman kepada mereka bagaimana santun dalam berbahasa terutama kepada bapak dan ibu guru maupun orang yang lebih tua. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah memberikan pemahaman kepada anak-anak kelas XI Perhotelan SMK Yayasan Pharmasi Semarang tentang bagaimana berbahasa santun, baik kepada orang yang lebih tua, maupun bapak dan ibu guru mereka. Hasil yang didapat menunjukkan bahwa dengan cara diberikan pengetahuan tentang kategori kata-kata yang santun dan bagaimana cara menerapkannya, pengetahuan dan keterampilan mereka meningkat.
State of the art and new directions using DNA and other molecular markers in forensic entomology
Authors: Haymer David
Published: December 2024

In parallel with the entire field of forensic science, forensic entomology has been dramatically transformed through the incorporation of DNA and other molecular markers into its practices. Beginning with the use of single mitochondrial genes, the range of DNA-based markers available to forensic entomologists has grown to include a wide variety of individual mitochondrial and nuclear genes, and has further expanded to include the analysis of whole genomes and transcriptomes. The use of these new sets of markers has significantly enhanced the ability of forensic entomologists to identify insects associated with human cadavers and to provide improved estimates of the time elapsed since death, commonly referred to as the postmortem interval (PMI), along with other valuable information for crime scene investigations. Furthermore, as new types of DNA markers and methods, including those based on epigenetic phenomena, continue to be developed for human and other forensic applications, the incorporation of these new technologies into forensic entomology will further enhance the capacity of professionals in this field to provide timely and valuable information to crime investigators.
Exploring the Domestic and Benign: Materiality in Perpetrator Spaces
Authors: Šafarić Branthwaite Michael
Published: December 2024

This paper explores how three art projects I made at and in response to Nazi sites can facilitate discussions and engagement with Europe’s conflicted past. Art offers a medium through which to explore some of the more controversial narratives and ‘many truths’ that exist concerning the crimes of the Nazis in a way that might not be permissible in a purely historical context. I explain how my practice has developed to focus not solely on traumatic pasts, but on how we look at perpetrators in a contemporary context using familiar material culture. This position allows me to unsettle prevailing paradigms that may omit perpetrators' personal lives as part of the complete story of the camps. In the art projects discussed here, a variety of contexts, audiences, and frameworks were developed to confront challenging aspects of perpetrator life and in particular the problematic nature of including their narrative in the history of the Nazi camp system. Three projects will be presented and I will describe how the work was developed and conceived and discuss its intended impact on audiences. The three cases address efforts to use historical material alongside conceptual art to invite the audience to consider new ways to tackle less prevalent paradigms in Holocaust discourse, related to some of the more ordinary aspects of the perpetrators. It will also demonstrate how art offered the means to explore wider questions beyond the fields of science and remembrance to engage the public in new theories and narrative.

Objectives. This experimental study compared the precision and surgical outcomes of manual versus robotic electrode insertions in cochlear implantation.Methods. The study was conducted on formalin-fixed cadaveric heads, with nine senior neurotologists performing both manual and robotic insertions.Results. The results showed no statistically significant differences between the two methods in terms of insertion angle, cochlear coverage, or electrode coverage. However, the robotic method demonstrated a significantly slower and more controlled insertion speed (0.1 mm/sec) compared to manual insertion (0.66±0.31 mm/sec), which is crucial for minimizing intra-cochlear force and pressures. Although robotic insertions resulted in fewer complications such as tip fold-over or scala deviation, there were instances of incomplete insertion.Conclusion. The robotic system provided a consistent and controlled insertion process, potentially standardizing cochlear implant operations and reducing outcome variability. The study concludes that robotic-assisted insertion offers significant advantages in controlling insertion speed and consistency, supporting the continued development and clinical evaluation of robotic systems for cochlear implant surgery.

Published: December 2024

Background:

The direct anterior approach (DAA) is a popular approach for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the contemporary outcomes for DAA THA need further elucidation. Therefore, we aimed to describe implant survivorship, complications, and clinical outcomes after DAA THA.

Methods:

From our multi-institutional total joint registry, 3,184 patients who had undergone 3,698 primary DAA THA between 2010 and 2019 were identified. The identified patients had a mean age of 65 years and a mean body mass index (BMI) of 29 kg/m2, and 53% of patients were female. The indications for revision and reoperation and the incidence of complications were collected and analyzed. Potential risk factors, including age, sex, BMI, and high-volume compared with low-volume operating surgeons, were examined. Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier survivorship with Cox regression analyses were performed.

Results:

At 10 years following primary DAA THA, the cohort had 96% (95% confidence interval [CI], 95% to 98%) survivorship free of any revision and 94% (95% CI, 92% to 96%) survivorship free of any reoperation. The leading indications for revision were periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (n = 24; 5-year cumulative incidence, 0.93% [95% CI, 0.6% to 1.5%]), periprosthetic fracture (n = 20; 5-year cumulative incidence, 0.62% [95% CI, 0.4% to 1.0%]), and aseptic loosening (n = 14; 11 femoral, 3 acetabular; 5-year cumulative incidence, 0.84% [95% CI, 0.5% to 1.5%]). A BMI of ≥40 kg/m2 was found to be significantly associated with PJI (hazard ratio [HR], 6.4; p < 0.001), reoperation (HR, 3.5; p < 0.001), and nonoperative complications (HR, 2.3; p = 0.018). Survivorship free of recurrent instability was 99.6% (95% CI, 99.4% to 99.8%) at 5 and 10 years, and the cumulative incidence of revision for instability was 0.14% at 5 years.

Conclusions:

In one of the largest published series to date, survivorship following DAA THA was satisfactory at early to intermediate follow-up. The leading indications for revision were PJI, periprosthetic fracture, and aseptic loosening. Instability after DAA THA was uncommon and infrequently led to revision. As a note of caution, a BMI of ≥40 kg/m2 was identified as a risk factor for adverse outcome after DAA THA.

Authors: Arango Sebastian D. , Flynn Jason C. , Zeitlin Jacob H. , Weir Tristan B. , Miller Andrew J.
Published: December 2024

Background:

The rise in xylazine-adulterated heroin and fentanyl poses novel challenges to hand surgeons and a rising epidemic of necrotic upper-extremity wounds. While prior case studies have focused on particularly severe and complex xylazine-associated necrotic (XAN) wounds, the aim of this consecutive case series was to characterize the variability of presentations (ranging from mild to severe) at a single institution at the epicenter of the xylazine epidemic.

Methods:

Patients presenting to a tertiary referral center for XAN upper-extremity wounds were retrospectively identified from emergency department visits and hospital admissions between January 2021 and December 2023. Patient characteristics, clinical findings, treatment, and hospitalization-related measures were recorded. Wounds were classified according to the depth, density, size, and presence of osteomyelitis. All of the variables were quantified using descriptive statistics.

Results:

In total, 82 patients with 125 XAN wounds were included in the study. The mean age was 40.3 ± 8.2 years, and 57% of the patients were men. Of the 125 wounds, 54% had associated osteomyelitis, 78% were confluent, and 47%involved more than two-thirds of the anatomic region. Surgery was recommended for 78% of the patients and was performed in 62%, with 13% undergoing amputation. Complications rates were high (77%) and included bacteremia (40%) and death (5%). Patients were hospitalized a mean of 4.1 times and were discharged against medical advice 2.8 times per year.

Conclusions:

This study presents a broad perspective on demographic, social, and medical factors in patients with XAN wounds of the upper extremity. Given the complexity and burden of this public health crisis, early intervention is important to prevent complications and mitigate costs.

Published: December 2024

Background:

Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures most commonly occur when the distal femur is driven through the proximal tibial articular surface. This mechanism of injury can be equivalent to a knee dislocation and carries an increased risk of vascular injury. Our institution screens all Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures with symmetric pulses for a vascular injury by measuring the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The purpose of this study was to describe our screening protocol and to determine its effectiveness at identifying vascular injuries.

Methods:

Our screening protocol consisted of measuring the ABI of the injured limb for all Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures that presented with symmetric pulses. An ABI of ≤0.9 prompted a computed tomographic angiogram (CTA) of the injured extremity. We retrospectively reviewed all Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures from 2006 to 2023 that presented to a single level-I academic trauma center. We collected demographic, fracture, ABI, and vascular injury data and examined the effectiveness of our screening protocol.

Results:

We identified 437 Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures (mean age, 47 years; 59% male). There were 102 (23%) Schatzker type-4 fractures, 4 (1%) type-5 fractures, and 331 (76%) type-6 fractures. Eight fractures (2%) had a concomitant vascular injury; none of the vascular injuries were missed. An ABI of ≤0.9 had a positive predictive value of 0.250, and an ABI of >0.9 had a negative predictive value of 1.000. The sensitivity of the ABI was 1.000, whereas the specificity was 0.056. Thirty-seven fractures were in patients with an ABI of >0.9 at presentation who underwent a CTA of the injured limb for nonorthopaedic indications, with no vascular injuries identified.

Conclusions:

The ABI has frequently been cited as a valuable screening tool for vascular injury after a knee dislocation, but its application to Schatzker type-4 to 6 tibial plateau fractures had not yet been described. Our results indicate that this screening protocol is both safe and effective, with no missed vascular injuries over a 17-year period.

Siphon-Like Effect in Chemical Reactions: Kinetic Basis of Bifunctional OX-ZEO Catalyst for Selective Syngas Conversion to Light Olefins
Authors: Wang Haifeng , Lai Zhuangzhuang , Xiong Danfeng , Hu Peijun , Chen Jian-Fu
Published: December 2024

Despite considerable progress in the oxide-zeolite coupled bifunctional catalyst (OX-ZEO) for ketene-mediated syngas conversion, it is still unclear how the cooperative mechanism between zeolite and oxide enables the selective formation of light olefins and how it is affected by the spatial proximity of OX-ZEO, let alone the rational optimization of the OX-ZEO catalytic system. Herein, we present a diffusion-bridged two-component microkinetic model that incorporates the calculated energetics of the entire reaction network over the ZnCrOx/MOR catalyst. This model dynamically captures the intricate kinetic behavior of this bifunctional system and quantitatively unravels the siphon-like synergetic mechanism in the selective conversion of syngas to light olefins instead of methane. The zeolite-enhanced selectivity for light olefin can be attributed to overcoming the unfavorable thermodynamic limitation to CH2CO formation on the oxide via being driven by a more favorable conversion in MOR. Furthermore, our model predicts an inverted U-shaped proximity dependence between two components on modulating the product activity/selectivity; this is due to the kinetic constraint of intermediate transfer at a physical proximity and the unexpected migration of Zn species when two components interact at the bonding level, leading to the formation of Zn[OH]+ species that trigger the undesired deep hydrogenation. Importantly, we have proposed a generalized OX-ZEO-based reaction-diffusion coupling kinetic model that essentially quantifies the optimal combination principles of two components. The predictions from our model agree well with the experimentally reported OX-ZEO catalysts, and we propose several new promising combinations of oxides and zeolites (ZnVOx, Ga/Sc-doped MOR). The theoretical understanding derived from this study could contribute to the rational design of the optimal OX-ZEO catalyst.

Authors: Gupta Shrajal , Phanden Rakesh Kumar , Wolde Biruk , Kumar Ravinder , Chakraborty Ayon
Published: December 2024

Production scheduling is an important activity within the manufacturing system to improve its performance. It is a process of assigning resources to the task or vice versa, which depends upon the configuration of the shop floor and the type of products to be manufactured. In job shops, scheduling is a very complex task since it involves a variety of products to process on a limited number of machines to cut down on the amount of time it takes to do tasks. In the present work, a case study from the manufacturing industry has been taken to maximise the amount of time it takes to do tasks (i.e.,makespan) having job shop configuration. Two distinguished nature-inspired algorithms, viz Simulated Annealing (SA) and Genetic Algorithm (GA), have been pragmatic in optimising the existing schedule. The results show that GA outperform the SA by a 1.76% increment in the makespan value. Also, the GA and SA possessed better results than the company's existing production schedule by 32.23% and 31.02%, respectively.

It is thought to be the best liver disease medicine and is an annual herb that belongs to the Asteraceae family. This herb has a long history of use in ethnomedicine. An estimated 2000–5000 tons are traded annually. On the other hand, overexploitation of this species' wild populations is the result of strong domestic demand. In order to cultivate E. alba and lessen the strain on the wild population, the current study aims to identify elite germplasm from several places in India through an analysis of growth, yield, and content variation of primary active constituents. HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) was used to analyze the wedelolactone content of 142 wild accessions of E. alba. Six lines of analysis showed a significant variance in wedelolactone throughout the entire plant, ranging from 0.09 to 0.53% on a dry weight basis. These lines were evaluated for two years for growth, yield, and active principle content. One elite accession (IIHR Sel EA 43) with 0.5% of the wedelolactone was identified with higher growth and yield attributes. This line is found to be suitable for large-scale commercial cultivation of E. alba.

Boreal forests are rich in small rivers, whose primary productivity is limited by shading. The diet of benthivorous fish in such rivers is based on autochthonous and allochthonous organic matter. Aquatic algae and invertebrates produce and accumulate polyunsaturated fatty acids of n-3 family (n-3 PUFA). Terrestrial organisms are poor in these substances but are rich in n-6 PUFA. We aimed to assess fluxes of biomass and n-3 and n-6 PUFA between aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of the shaded Krutaya Kacha River. The production of zoobenthos in the river was 11.7 mg of dry weight (DW)·m− 2·day− 1, while the export of biomass of amphibious insects was 4.3 mg (DW)·m− 2·day− 1. The import of invertebrate biomass into the river was 56.2 mg (DW)·m− 2·day− 1, which was one order of magnitude higher than the export of amphibious insects and 5 times higher than the production of zoobenthos. The import of n-3 PUFA, and n-6 PUFA into the river via invertebrates was 0.55 and 0.909 mg (DW)·m− 2·day− 1, respectively, while the export of these substances from the river with emergent insects was lower by factors of 6.6 and 20.7, respectively. Thus, in such rivers, benthivorous fish feeding on aquatic and terrestrial resources receive food of biochemically different quality: the amounts of food being equal, fish consuming terrestrial invertebrates receive less n-3 PUFA but more n-6 PUFA than fish consuming aquatic invertebrates. The predominance of allochthonous food in the diet of fish can be the reason for the decrease in the nutritional value of fish inhabiting small shaded rivers.

Background: The development, progression, and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are determined by interlinked human, animal, and environmental drivers, which pose severe risks to human and livestock health. Conjugative plasmid transfer drives the rapid dissemination of AMR among bacteria. In addition to the judicious use and implementation of stewardship programs, mitigating the spread of antibiotic resistance requires an understanding of the dynamics of AMR transfer among microbial communities, as well as the role of various microbial taxa as potential reservoirs that promote long-term AMR persistence. Here, we employed Hi-C, a high-throughput, culture-free technique, combined with qPCR, to monitor carriage and transfer of a multidrug-resistent (MDR) plasmid within an Atlantic salmon in vitrogut model during florfenicol treatment, a benzenesulfonyl antibiotic widely deployed in fin-fish aquaculture.
Results: Microbial communities from the pyloric ceaca of three healthy adult farmed salmon were inoculated into three bioreactors simulating the teleost gut, which were developed for the SalmoSim gut system. The model system was then inoculated with the Escherichia coli strain ATCC 25922 carrying the plasmid pM07-1 and treated with florfenicol at a concentration of 150 mg/L in fish feed media for five days prior to the washout/recovery phase. Hi-C and metagenomic sequencing identified numerous transfer events, including those involving gram-negative and gram-positive taxa, and, crucially, the transfer and persistence of the plasmid continued once florfenicol treatment was withdrawn.
Conclusions: Our findings highlight the role of the commensal teleost gut flora as a reservoir for AMR even once antimicrobial selective pressure has been withdrawn. Our system also provides a model to study how different treatment regimens and interventions may be deployed to mitigate AMR persistence.

Background Self-regulated learning is crucial for medical students’ lifelong learning and professional development. Research has found that self-regulated learning of medical students is influenced by teacher feedback. However, the mechanism by which teacher feedback affects the self-regulated learningof medical students has not yet been thoroughly explored.
Methods The study utilized data from five rounds of the Student Survey of Learning and Development Survey at H University in China, with a sample of 6,546 medical students selected. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0 were employed as data analysis tools to validate the relationships among variables such as teacher feedback, self-regulated learning, teacher-student interaction, and sense of school belonging.
Results Teacher feedback was significantly and positively correlated with self-regulated learning (r = 0.330, p < 0.01), teacher-student interaction (r = 0.311, p < 0.01), and sense of school belonging (r = 0.409, p < 0.01). Moreover, teacher-student interaction and sense of school belonging partially mediated the relationship between teacher feedback and self-regulated learning, with effect sizes of 0.116 and 0.045, respectively. There was a chain mediation model between teacher feedback and self-regulated learning that had a value of 0.009, accounting for 2.94% of the total impact.
Conclusion The research has unveiled the relationship between teacher feedback and the self-regulated learning of medical students, confirming the individual and chained mediating effects of teacher-student interaction and sense of school belonging. Furthermore, the current findings offer fresh perspectives for exploring effective approaches to improve medical students’ self-regulated learning.

The land-use change from agroforestry (AF) to monoculture-based agriculture has the potential to change soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC). The MBC has been used as an indicator of soil quality as well as to determine the microbial status of soil. The aim of this study was to analyze the distribution of soil MBC across different agroforestry practices (AFPs) at two depths in southern Ethiopia. Soil samples were collected from cropland/parkland, woodlots, home gardens, and trees on soil and water conservation-based AFPs. The MBC was determined using the difference in fumigated and non-fumigated extracted carbon contents. The MBC and soil microbial biomass quotient (MBQ) were significantly different among the different AFPs (P < 0.05). The highest contents of MBC were reported from homegarden on topsoil (505.36 ± 12.45 mg kg − 1) and subsoil (401.88 ± 7.26 mg kg − 1) soil depths (surface = 0–30 cm, subsoil = 30–60 cm), followed by woodlot (surface: 464.37 ± 9.19 mg kg − 1) and (subsoil: 380.24 ± 6.88 mg kg − 1), while the lowest result was registered from the subsoil of the croplands (153.10 ± 46.44 mg kg − 1). The higher percentage of MBQ was recorded under the woodlots in topsoil layers (1.48%) and subsoil (1.37%), followed by homegarden (surface = 1.41%, subsoil = 1.25%), while the lowest was found under the cropland in subsoil (0.57%). The highest content of soil organic carbon was found under homegarden in topsoil (3.62%) and subsoil (3.23%) followed by woodlot (topsoil: 3.16%, subsoil: 2.87%) and trees on soil and water conservation structures (topsoil: 2.69%, subsoil: 2.51%), while the lowest value was registered under cropland/parkland AF practices (topsoil: 2.67%, subsoil: 2.46%). The distribution of MBC was significantly related to soil organic carbon in soil depth categories, soil total nitrogen, and soil pH in topsoil. Homegarden and woodlot AFPs were suitable for soil MBC improvement among the different AFPs studied, implying that tree-based systems are important for increasing of MBC and ecosystem stability.

Lead-acid batteries (LABs) are one of the most important energy storage systems, widely used in automotive, industrial, and backup applications. However, lead-acid batteries exhibit limitations such as relatively low energy density, limited service life, etc. The aim of improving the performance of LABs is to search for new materials with better physicochemical and electrochemical properties. One of the most important research directions is the use of various types of carbon materials as additives to electrode active masses. The presented research involved the results of the effect of the addition of a new type carbon material on the properties of the positive and negative active masses of a lead-acid battery. The carbon material was obtained by carbonization of sheep's wool fibres. Experimental results show that the new additive improves the properties of active masses, especially during its preparation, although electrical conductivity of the carbon material is relatively low. This demonstrates that even carbon materials with moderate electrical properties can improve the efficiency of lead-acid battery production technology and its performance.
