Authors: Achmad Syarifuddin , Miolo Sartin T. , Katili Adriyansyah , Bouti Suleman
Published: November 2023

Buginese is a local language in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, which is spoken in almost 60% of Sulawesi Island. This study aimed to explore the selection of linguistic variations and language acts as a linguistic model used by ethnic Buginese in establishing discourses of everyday socio-pragmatic interactions. It relied on a qualitative design to obtain the linguistic corpus that occurs empirically and naturally in communication interactions. This study used the snowball method by combining ethnographic strategies. The instrument used the Speaking Involvement Technique, in which the researchers were directly involved in people’s interactions by paying attention to communicating situations, recording data, and conducting interviews for data validation purposes. All data or corpus of linguistic variations and speech acts collected were analyzed by the speaking strategy componential technique strategy developed by Dell Hymes. This study successfully discovers a model for identifying the Buginese ethnicity's linguistic variations and speech acts to build a discourse of communication interactions. The expressions of selection of linguistic variations and speech acts are dominantly based on polite sentence constructions and formulations, and ethically according to the local culture of Buginese ethnicity, namely the culture of siri. The results of this study can affect the enrichment of scientific information, which functions and acts as a meaningful reference in the field of linguistic studies, especially examining speech act variation in the expression of conversational discourse, in addition to being a foundation in the development of local content material and multicultural understanding.
An Analysis of Speech Acts in the Movie Hive
Authors: Rakaj Dorinë
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate types of speech acts uttered by the main character of the movie Hive. It utilized both quantitative-qualitative research methods to analyze the types of illocutionary acts produced by Fahrije, the main character of the movie. The analysis was based on the taxonomy developed by Searle (1969) regarding fives types of illocutionary acts, which include representatives, directives, commissives, expressives, and declaratives. According to the finding, the main character performed four different categories of speech acts: representatives (37.3%), directives (35.5 %), expressives (13.6 %), commissives (13.6 %), and no declaratives (0%). The main character used representative speech acts to state what she believed to be true or false. She employed directive speech acts, such as commanding, ordering, and asking, to request actions from others. Fahrije committed herself to taking a certain course of action in the future by using commissive speech acts. Finally, she performed expressive acts to convey her feelings, including pain, sadness, pleasure, etc. The study revealed that the most prevalent acts in the movie were directives and representatives. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that further studies should investigate other genres of movies in order to gather more detailed information about speech acts.
The Civil War Female Refugee and Assimilation: An Acculturative Study of Layla AlAmmar’s Silence Is a Sense
Authors: Boualem Boutheyna , Alshetawi Mahmoud F.
Published: November 2023

Female refugees go through numerous stages and transformations during the asylum-seeking process, all of which leave their imprint on their individuality over time. This forced journey, the fleeing of a war-torn country, the search for shelter and safety in the host country, as well as a plethora of other factors, all have a bearing on the refugee's assimilation or lack thereof. This article aims to demonstrate the journey of assimilation that the protagonist in Layla AlAmmar's novel Silence is a Sense (2021) underwent. It takes John Berry's models of acculturation as its approach in order to investigate whether or not the refugee character Rana assimilated into the host society. Therefore, it critically scrutinizes the text to determine how Rana represents millions of female refugees, what it means to be a refugee in a host country, the extent to which a female refugee can integrate into the other country's culture, and whether the process of fully acculturating is underway.

An In-Depth Analysis of Saudi EFL Students’ Written Paragraphs at Al-Baha University
Authors: Abdalla Haytham Othman Hassan
Published: November 2023

This study aimed to give an in-depth analysis of students’ written paragraphs. Therefore, the study primarily described the nature of the grammatical and mechanical problems that the undergraduate students committed at the paragraph level. Paragraphs written by EFL undergraduate students were analyzed comprehensively. The study adopted a qualitative method approach in which 80 students were asked to write a paragraph. The study found that undergraduate students had many grammatical problems as well as mechanical ones in a paragraph. The major grammatical problems included the use of tenses, pronouns, conjunctions, the use of prepositions, and the use of verbs, whereas the mechanical ones included the use of capitalization, the use of punctuation marks, cursive writing, spelling mistakes, and initiating a paragraph. These problems affected the paragraph’s readability as well as its comprehension. Therefore, it is suggested to give ample time for the students to practice writing prior to university entry. Also, literature should be included in secondary school to provide learners with the necessary words and improve their expressive skills.

Authors: Sumarlam  , Winarni Retno , Setiawan Budhi , Al Masjid Akbar
Published: November 2023

This study specifically aims to examine the philosophical meaning and educational values contained in the Serat Sari Swara by Ki Hajar Dewantara (KHD). Serat Sari Swara is an old literary work (1930) written directly by KHD using Javanese script and in Javanese poetry/tembang type. Studying old literary works is crucial, considering that many moral teachings and educational values are implicit. Based on the format and character, this descriptive qualitative research used an interactive model of data analysis method, with a literary interpretive perspective content analysis method. The primary data sources of this research came from the Serat Sari Swara script and the results of interviews with informants. The research findings revealed the philosophical meanings and values of the five Serat Sari Swara poetry as follows. Based on data analysis on the philosophical meaning and educational values of Serat Sari Swara, it can be summarized as follows. 1) Sekar Gula Ganthi contains philosophical and educational values of religious education and the value of discipline education (discipline in carrying out its duties, hard work and responsibility to carry out the task of completing the mission it carries). 2) Langen Siswa contains philosophical meanings and the value of character education of thank God and value togetherness and solidarity. 3) Tembang Puji Santosa has philosophical and educational values of obey the teacher, students must be  serious if they study, everything must be carried out sincerely, do not like to be sad,  do not be lazy, always be grateful, 4) Tembang Ima-Ima contains the educational value of decency and politeness in an association. 5) Sekar Ageng Salyarini contains the philosophical meaning of nationalist spirit and willing to sacrifice. The results of this study will later be developed into a textbook material for children's literature appreciation for the Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program.
Contributions of the Theory of the Inclusion of the Other to Inclusive Mathematics Education
Authors: Guimarães Yara Patrícia Barral de Queiroz , Palanch Wagner Barbosa de Lima
Published: November 2023

Background: The post-colonial and anti-colonial theories in mathematics education, difference and inclusion led Souza and Skovsmose to create the term deficiencialism. Objective: To present the potential of Jurgen Habermas’s theory of the inclusion of the other to contribute to concepts of inclusive mathematics education. Design: Considering that Habermas is a German philosopher who defends ethical communication to solve social problems, we believe that his concepts can help understand the idea of inclusion in teaching to guide the academic community towards a better understanding and positioning about who the Other is. Setting and participants: Jurgen Habermas (2018, 2019) and Ole Skovsmose (2014). Data collection and analysis: Bibliographical and theoretical study. Results: We found possible similarities between Habermasian theories and the critical mathematics education by Ole Skovsmose, each concept with its particularities converging on ethical communication that can favour a more inclusive mathematics education.
The Crowning of Anarchy, Remarks on the Age of Pure Difference
Authors: Thiessen Mitch
Published: November 2023

The question of truth is bound to the question of the relation between identity and difference. Historically, the bond between truth and the primacy of identity was forged through the conviction that to speak of truth is to speak of being, or what is (the case). Since Parmenides, being becomes intelligible solely in relation to identity, or the One, with difference either being excluded from “what is” altogether, or as in Plato and Aristotle, finding its subordinate “place” within being. After Hegel, whose thought accomplishes this “placing” in an absolute way, philosophy has sought to reverse this priority, while still insisting, necessarily, on thinking and speaking about what is the case, and therefore of truth. This essay raises the question of the coherence of this reversal. Characterizing the past century as the one in which philosophy’s aim was the overcoming of the perennial priority of identity, it attempts to show not only that post-Hegelian thought was at multiple levels divided on this aim, but that what Gillian Rose called the “metaphysics of pure difference” went uniquely awry—both in terms of its consequences and in its failure to maintain a genuinely critical relation to so-called “philosophies of representation.”
Is Correspondence Truth One or Many?
Authors: Ulatowski Joseph
Published: November 2023

On the correspondence theory of truth, a proposition is true if and only if it corresponds to fact. Criticisms of the correspondence theory of truth have argued that such a strict interpretation of the correspondence relation will not be able to account for the truth of statements about fiction or mathematics. This challenge has resulted in the introduction of more permissive correspondence relations, such as Austin’s correspondence as correlation or Tarski’s correspondence as reference satisfaction. Recently, some mediated correspondence theorists of truth have proposed that the correspondence relation holds not only between thought and world but also between thought and language. In this paper, I argue that correspondence truth, direct or mediated, is not a monistic theory of truth, the view that there is one and only way for a proposition to be true. To argue for this position, I will have to show that each of the correspondence theories accept direct and indirect ways of understanding the correspondence relation as well as address potential objections to the view that correspondence theory is not singular and monolithic.
Illusory Signs as Frustrated Expectations: Undoing Descartes’ Overblown Response
Authors: Champagne Marc
Published: November 2023

Descartes held that it is impossible to make true statements about what we perceive, but I go over alleged cases of illusory experience to show why such a skeptical conclusion (and recourse to God) is overblown. The overreaction, I contend, stems from an insufficient awareness of the habitual expectations brought to any given experience. These expectations manifest themselves in motor terms, as perception constantly prompts and updates an embodied posture of readiness for what might come next. Such habitual anticipations work best when they efface themselves, so it is easy to blame perception when our expectations get frustrated. I illustrate this misdirected blame with the example of a stick partially in water: it is only because we expect the stick to be straight that its appearance as bent is deemed problematic. I thus conclude that, if we factor in the habitual interpretations operative in perception and switch to a processual view that allows practical engagement, we can deflate the worries that led Descartes to rule out perceptual truths. Distancing myself from the naïve “sign” of folk semiotics, my critique draws inspiration from the triadic semiotic model developed in some late medieval schools of Portugal.

Inasistencia alimentaria en el Valle de Ubaté en Cundinamarca- Colombia según las representaciones sociales de los hombres
Authors: Rivera García Henry Leonardo , Peña Almanza Zaine Yulieth
Published: November 2023

Este artículo es producto de una indagación que buscaba analizar la relación existente entre las representaciones sociales de los hombres sobre la inasistencia alimentaria y su compromiso con los deberes hacia sus hijos e hijas en cumplimiento y garantía de sus derechos. Esta indagación tuvo lugar en la Villa de San Diego de Ubaté, municipio ubicado al sur del departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, donde se efectuó una exploración sobre el tema con la participación de diez hombres que, en su condición de padres, aportaron información relevante. Los datos se recopilaron a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas que se transcribieron y analizaron con base en las teorías aportadas por la revisión documental realizada sobre la temática. A partir de esta análisis, se llegó a la conclusión de que los participantes expresaron concepciones y acciones que reflejan incumplimiento de las responsabilidades paternales asociadas a la asistencia alimentaria de sus hijos e hijas. Lo anterior muestra la existencia de una problemática derivada de un modelo patriarcal e incrustada en este. Dicho modelo ha definido, tradicionalmente, roles específicos a los hombres que, de manera particular, los obliga a suplir las necesidades básicas del hogar, a la vez que obstaculizan prácticas de paternidad orientadas hacia la garantía y protección integral de los derechos de niñas, niños y adolescentes.

В статті доводиться те, що якість надання відеоінформаційних сервісів визначає сучасний стан інформатизації суспільства та особистості. Обґрунтовуються вимоги до якісних характеристик надання відеосервісів. Показується, що вони регламентується системою QoS. В стаття системно доводиться те, що відповідність реальних характеристик надання відеоінформаційних послуг потрібному рівню залежить переважним чином від наявності дисбалансу. Такий дисбаланс визначається перевантаженням інфокомунікаційних мереж. На основі ґрунтовного аналізу робиться висновок стосовно того, що для виключення означеного дисбалансу необхідно створювати технології зменшення бітового об’єму відеоданих. Водночас виявлено, що сучасні технології мають множину істотних недоліків. Для усунення таких недоліків необхідно розробити нові технології компресійного кодування відеоданих. Отже актуальною є науково-прикладна проблема, яка стосується створення нових технологій компресійного кодування в умовах локалізації балансу між оперативністю доставки відеоданих та їх цілісністю. Одним з базових напрямків тут є подальше вдосконалення технологій кодування відеосегментів в спектральному просторі. При цьому необхідно встановлювати нові види закономірностей в структурно-семантичному змісті відеозображення. Перспективний підхід стосується врахування закономірностей, що зумовлені комбінаторною конфігурацією трансформанти за нерівномірно-діагональною текстурою. Такий підхід запропоновано в працях. В той же час найбільш проблемним тут є формування інформативно-позиційної ваги. Такі компоненти є ключовими в процесі визначення кодового значення відповідної діагональної послідовності трансформанти. Розроблено метод визначення інформативно-позиційної ваги (нерівномірно-вагової складової кодового значення) усічено-позиційного числа. Вона визначається, як кількість допустимих підпослідовностей, які передують відповідній підпослідовності діагоналі та задовольняють обмеженням згідно особливостей комбінаторної конфігурації трансформанти в двовимірному нерівномірно-діагональному форматі.

В статті розкриваються особливості функціонування інформаційної інфраструктури, як базової складової систем управління об’єктами та підрозділами сил оборони та безпеки України, стосуються забезпечення інформаційної безпеки. Найбільшої значимості ці питання набирають в умовах воєнного часу. Отже потрібно забезпечувати потрібний рівень безпеки спеціальних інформаційних ресурсів. Висунута проблематика стає більш наочною в умовах використання для інформаційного обміну відкритих бездротових мереж передачі даних. Звідси підвищення безпеки спеціальних інформаційних ресурсів в бездротових інфокомунікаційних системах є актуальним науково-прикладним завданням. Забезпечення конфіденційності досягається в основному за рахунок використання технологій та методів захисту інформації. Обґрунтовано те, що наряду з методами криптографічного шифрування необхідно використовувати методи стеганографічних перетворень. В той же час для існуючих методів стеганографічних перетворень з використанням відеозображення контейнера (ВЗК) проявляються певні недоліки : обмеженість ємності стеганографічного каналу передачі прихованої інформації; недостатній рівень стійкості прихованих повідомлень до методів активного та пасивного стеганоаналізу. Звідси мета досліджень полягає у розробці методів стегнаографічного кодування інформації з використанням ВЗК для підвищення ємності прихованого каналу передачі інформації. Розроблено структурно-комбінаторне стеганокомпресійне кодування з маскуванням, що базується на наступних етапах: формування поліадичного базису для фрагменту відеозображення; структурне стеганокомпресійне кодування в поліадичному базисі основ; маскування структурної стеганографічної надмірності шляхом її локалізації на основі корекції довжини стеганограми. Створено правило вбудовування інформації для структурно-комбінаторного стеганокомпресійного кодування, яке полягає в тому, що: один біт приховуваного повідомлення вбудовується на старшу позицію одновимірного поліадичного числа в двовимірному базисі; локалізація стеганографічної надмірності досягається на основі відкидання молодшого біта стеганограми.

Dennation of the Strasbourg Criminal Convention for Corruption: change in Russian anti-corruption policy or forced protection of national interests?
Authors: Blashkova Lyudmila L.
Published: November 2023

Purpose of research: to identify or eliminate the risks of a decrease in the effectiveness of anti-corruption activities after Russias denunciation of the Criminal Law Convention on Corruption (Strasbourg, 1999).

Methods and objects of research: In the process of conducting the research, general scientific methods of cognition, which are used in legal sciences, were used. The dialectical method was used in a general assessment of the risks of refusing international cooperation in the fight against corruption, the logical method, methods of comparative analysis and synthesis were used in the study of regulations of modern Russian anti-corruption legislation and relevant sources of international law. Additionally, other private scientific research methods were also used.

Main results of research: the Russian Federation, having denounced the 1999 Strasbourg Convention on Criminal Liability for Corruption, did not revise the strategic goals and objectives of anti-corruption activities. Corruption is still considered a threat to national security, and the fight against this socially dangerous phenomenon is a priority of government policy. The denunciation of this Convention and Russia's withdrawal from the specialized international organization the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) is due to the need to protect national interests and maintain the status of a full participant in international relations.
Feedback as Scaffolded Instruction in the Assessment of L2 Writing Tasks
Authors: Shakra Zena Abu
Published: November 2023

This study focuses on exploring the relationship between the concept of learner autonomy and foreign language writing feedback. A sample of 4 writing conferences were transcribed in order to carry out spoken discourse analysis based on the Burton (1981) model, which is directly derived from the Sinclair and Coulthard (1975) model. The aim was to linguistically ascertain the instructor’s attempt to stimulate learner autonomy through scaffolding based on the three principles of Little (2000). It was important to also take into cognizance the concomitant discourse that accompanies such an attempt in an effort to compare the findings with those observed in the initial study done on conferences, which involved more holistic feedback on the whole essay. The design also made use of short retrospective self-reports where L2 writers recorded their thoughts and comments directly following the feedback they received in each conference. This study builds on a previous study which demonstrated how writing instructors often mistakenly presuppose that learners have reached their perspective on a writing revision. This happens at a point much earlier than expected when in fact, learners appear to be cognitively engaged at a point much later than when they claim understanding of the revision being made. The present study expands on the original by comparing the quality of discourse observed in the previous study, which involved more holistic feedback on writing, especially when feedback is more focused and limited to one section of writing. Findings suggest that minimizing feedback results in instructor discourse that is more superior as a scaffolding instrument, while learner discourse shows more evidence of metacognitive activity and reflection. Paradoxically, curtailing feedback which facilitates learning and task acquisition during the assessment of writing actually renders it more scaffolded in nature, thus resulting in more positive outcomes for both the instructor and L2 learner. The theoretical and pedagogical implications of this are discussed extensively.

Published: November 2023

Afzelia africana Smith ex Pers. est une espèce très prisée pour son importance socioéconomique au niveau des pays du Sahel, ce qui entraine une forte pression anthropique sur elle. A cela, s’ajoute les conditions climatiques défavorables qui handicapent souvent la régénération de l’espèce ainsi que sa conservation en milieu naturel. L’objectif de cette étude est de contribuer à la connaissance des conditions de germination des graines de A. africana. Pour ce faire, les semences ont subi trois (3) types de traitement au laboratoire d’Agroforesterie et d’Écologie à savoir le trempage dans cinq (5) différentes concentrations d’acide sulfurique (H2SO4) (10 % ; 30 % ; 50 % ; 75 % et 98 %) à des durées différentes (5 mn ; 10 mn ; 30 mn et 60 mn), le trempage dans de l’eau tiède et la scarification mécanique. Les résultats révèlent que les meilleures germinations ont été obtenues respectivement à l’acide sulfurique (75 %) avec une durée de trempage de 30 mn pour la catégorie acide, l’eau tiède pour une durée de trempage de 12 h pour la catégorie eau tiède et la scarification mécanique à 1 mm. L’application des résultats obtenus présenterait des intérêts majeurs dans la disponibilité en quantité et qualité d’individus de A. africana pour assurer la régénération de l’espèce et ralentir les risques de disparition dans certaines zones du monde.

 

Afzelia africana Smith ex Pers. is a species that is highly prized for its socio-economic importance in the Sahelian countries, which results in strong anthropic pressure on it. In addition to this, unfavourable climatic conditions often handicap the regeneration of the species as well as its conservation in the wild. The objective of this study is to contribute to the knowledge of the germination conditions of the A. africana’s seeds. To this end, the seeds under went three (3) types of treatment in the laboratory, namely soaking in five (5) different concentrations of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) (10%; 30%; 50%; 75% and 98%) at different durations (5min; 10min; 30min and 60min), soaking in warm water and mechanical scarification. The results reveal that the best germinations were obtained respectively with 75% acid with a soaking time of 30 min for the acid category, warm water with a soaking time of 12 h for the warm water category and mechanical scarification at 1mm.
Lacan and Badiou: Philosophy and Antiphilosophy
Authors:   The Criticism and Theory Society of Korea, Park Youngjin
Published: November 2023

This article attempts to shed light upon the relationship between Jacques Lacan and Alain Badiou from the perspective of philosophy and antiphilosophy. According to Badiou, the history of Western thought is constituted by the ceaseless dialogue between philosophy and antiphilosophy. It is well-known that Badiou elaborated on his philosophy through the critical dialogue with Lacanian psychoanalysis. In Lacan: Anti-Philosophy 3, Badiou addresses Lacan through the lens of antiphilosophy. According to Badiou, Lacanian antiphilosophy deposes the authority of philosophical truth, discloses the philosophical operation, and presents his analytic act against the philosophical operation. However, Lacan himself used the term “antiphilosophy” only twice in his entire intellectual itinerary. Moreover, he did not leave any systematic discussion about his antiphilosophy. How can one address Lacan’s position regarding philosophy and antiphilosophy, then? This article engages with this question. The author first reviews the main points of Lacanian antiphilosophy as presented by Badiou, classifies Lacan’s extensive and inconsistent comments on philosophy, and shows how Lacan and Badiou have an interlaced relationship, which cannot be reduced to the simple antagonism “philosophy vs. antiphilosophy.” This will not only serve as a critical reading of the Badiouian version of Lacanian antiphilosophy but also contribute to the exploration of the relationship between Lacan and Badiou, philosophy and antiphilosophy.

This study aims to improve the quality of cow manure liquid organic fertilizer from several bioactivators and to determine the effect of liquid organic fertilizer on the growth and yield of shallot (Allium ascalonicum L.) plants. This research was conducted on March 11 2022 – November 29 2022 at the cultivation land of Lamongan Regency. The research was arranged using Factorial RBD consisting of two levels and three replications. The first level is the types of bioactivators which consist of 5 types, namely without bioactivators (B0), Em4 (B1), BRE4 (B2), PAZ's (B3), and Mol rumen (B4). The second level is the concentration of liquid organic fertilizer to be tested on plants which consists of 4 concentrations of only basic fertilizer (K0), 20 ml/liter (K1), 40 ml/liter (K2), and 60 ml/liter (K3). Research data can be analyzed by ANOVA followed by Duncan's Multiple Range test at 5% level. The experimental results showed that a single treatment with the type of bioactivator helped improve the quality of liquid organic fertilizer for cow dung because the total N and pH parameters met the quality of the Minister of Agriculture. Single treatment concentration of cow manure liquid organic fertilizer showed a highly significant different effect on the variables observed in plant height, number of leaves, root volume, tuber diameter, and tuber dry weight. The variable number of tubers showed significantly different results in a single treatment, the concentration of cow dung liquid organic fertilizer and the fresh weight of tubers showed no significant differences. The best concentration of liquid organic fertilizer for cow dung was 60 ml/liter with the highest value at plant height 15.81 cm, number of leaves 10-11 leaves, root volume 10.96 ml, tuber diameter 1.86 cm, tuber number 38-38 tubers/plot, and tuber dry weight 17.89 grams. A significant correlation was also shown between fresh weight and tuber diameter because the value of r count 0.5237 was greater than r table 0.2144.

Crocidolomia pavonana is a significant pest in the Brassicaceae family. The study aimed to determine the effect of applying several types of insect flour to M. anisopliae growth media to increase its virulence against C. pavonana pests. The experimental design in this study used a completely randomized design (C.R.D.). The treatment used was A = 25 gr corn rice medium, B = 25 gr corn rice medium + 1.25 gr Hong Kong caterpillar flour, C = 25 gr corn rice medium + 3.75 gr Hong Kong caterpillar flour, D = 25 gr corn rice medium gr + 1.25 gr Kroto flour, E = 25 gr corn rice medium + 3.75 gr Kroto flour, F = 25 gr corn rice medium + 1.25 gr cricket flour, G = 25 gr corn rice medium + 3.75 gr cricket flour. The addition of insect flour could not increase the virulence of M. anisopliae against C. pavonana pests to above 50% due to less than optimal humidity conditions for M. anisopliae. The comparison of the types of insect flour used to be added to the propagation media did not significantly affect some of the parameters that had been observed, but on average, the M. anisopliae fungi propagation medium was added with insect flour made from Hong Kong caterpillars, namely treatment B (25 gr corn rice medium + 1.25 gr Hong Kong caterpillar flour) can cause the highest mortality  against C. pavonana pests.

Spodopotera frugiperda is a worldwide invasive pest that has caused major economic damage. According to classical biological control theory, natural enemies that can control invasive pests come from the area of origin as the pests that have gone through coadaptation processes. Our study, however, suggests that new associations between S. frugiperda and local natural enemies offer insights into the possibilities of biological control using local parasitoids. The research was conducted through a rapid survey in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, covering four districts in Sleman, Bantul, Gunung Kidul, and Kulon Progo from September 2019 to June 2022. The results showed a stable increase of parasitoid species richness found yearly, with 15 parasitoid species associated with S. frugiperda. Four egg parasitoids, eight larval parasitoids, and three pupal parasitoids were found to be associated with S. frugiperda for three years after it was first discovered in Indonesia. Telenomus remus is the most dominant parasitoid, with a higher abundance and parasitism rate than other parasitoids. A new association was found between S. frugiperda and twelve parasitoid species, consisting of three egg parasitoids (Telenomus remus, Hymenoptera sp.1 and Hymenoptera sp.2), six larval parasitoids (Apanteles sp., Microplitis sp., Campoletis sp., Coccygidium sp., Eupelmus sp., and Stenobracon sp.), and three pupal parasitoids (Brachymeria lasus, B. femorata, and Charops sp.). This study also reported the first findings of the association of S. frugiperda with the larval parasitoid Megaselia scalaris in Indonesia. The result suggests the revisit of classical biological control and that local natural enemies can foster quick adaptation to invasive pests.

The airflow carried by artificial aeration provides oxidant O2 for microbial growth and mineral dissolution in heap bioleaching. To investigate the effect of forced aeration rate on bioleaching of low-grade copper sulfide ores, column bioleaching experiments with six columns were conducted in the aeration range of 0~150 L/h at 30~45 ℃. The results showed that when the aeration rate was higher than 95 L/h, the proportions of heap settlement and fine particles mass were much greater than that without aeration. The final total Fe concentration and bacterial cell numbers in pregnant leach solution increased with the increase of aeration rate.The final concentrations of Cu2 + in the mother liquor under aeration conditions of 60-150 L / h were 1.411, 1.432, 1.498, 1.491 and 1.583 g / L, respectively, which were higher than 1.345 g / L under non-aeration conditions. When the aeration rate was 150 L / h, the final Cu leaching rate was 80.1 %, which was 11.4 % higher than that without aeration ( 68.7 % ). Furthermore, in the early stage of leaching, copper leaching rate with 95 L/h aeration rate remained the highest. 结论Artificial aeration accelerates the bioleaching of low-grade copper sulfide ores by improving porosity structure, temperature range of bacterial activity and microbial catalyzed dissolution of targeted minerals.

Due to the low content, few studies are focused on the volatile compounds of Phlomoides rotata (Benth. ex Hook. f.) Mathiesen (PR, syn. Lamiophlomis rotata (Benth.) Kudô). However, such volatile compounds may have important pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, anticancer. In order to identify the chemical markers (CMs) in the essential oils (Es) and explore the potential bioactivities, we first conduct a thoroughly investigation on the volatile compounds and evaluate their anti-oxidant activities (AOAs), to the best of our knowledge. Light yellow Es with a fresh and elegant smell are obtained by hydro-distillation with an average yield of 0.11% (mL/g). After separation through cryoprecipitation, the crystals (Cs) and EOs removed crystals (RCs) were gotten, respectively. A total of 81 components are qualified and quantified in the Es, Cs and RCs, in which 44 ones are first reported from PR. As for content, the main compounds are long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and their esters. Among them, palmitic acid (PA), myristic acid (MA), linoleic acid (LA), oleic acid (OA) and methyl palmitate are highlighted, Besides, hexahydrofarnesyl acetone and phytol are also prominent Four kinds of C13-norisoprenoids are first reported from PR, in which, trans-β-damascenone is potent in flavour. In sum, these eight representative compounds can be chosen as the CMs. The AOAs of Es, Cs, RCs and four CMs such as PA, MA, LA and OA are evaluated by in vitro assays. In general, PA and MA present pro-oxidant activities (POAs) or weak AOAs. LA and OA show POAs or weak AOAs in lower concentration group, whereas demonstrate medium or strong AOAs in higher concentration group. Usually, the RCs demonstrate stronger AOAs and the Cs present weaker AOAs compared with those of the corresponding Es, which should be related to their different content of PA. This study can give some hints on the utilization of such Es which are abundant in LCFAs.

Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have greatly enhanced our knowledge of virus biodiversity. Currently, viromes of haematophagous invertebrates, such as mosquitoes and ixodid ticks, are actively studied. Tabanidae (Diptera) is a widespread family, with members mostly known for their persistent haematophagous behavior. They transmit viral, bacterial and other pathogens, both biologically and mechanically. However, tabanid viromes remain severely understudied. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to describe the viromes of several species of Hybomitra, Tabanus, Chrysops, and Haematopota genera, which were collected in Russia. We assembled 14 full coding genomes of the novel viruses, 4 partial coding genomes, as well as several fragmented viral sequences, which presumably belong to another 12 new viruses. All the discovered viruses were tested on their ability to replicate in the mammalian porcine embryo kidney (PEK), tick HAE/CTVM8, and mosquito C6/36 cell lines. In total, 16 viruses were detected in at least one cell culture after three passages (for PEK and C6/36) or 3 weeks of persistence in HAE/CTVM8. However, in the majority of cases, qPCR showed a decline in virus load over time. Nevertheless, four viruses were detected after six passages.
