Authors: Asif Ehsan Syed Mortuza , Jakariya Md. , Sajadul Alam Md. , Saad Saman , Shawkat Mirza Ali , Akter Dilruba
Published: December 2024

The production and technical efficiency of the rice sector in Bangladesh’s coastal areas are vulnerable to a wide range of natural disasters and climate change issues. These regions face recurring threats from climatic events such as salinity intrusion, inundation, rising sea levels, and cyclones, which can significantly disrupt agricultural activities. In this paper, we conduct a comparative analysis of the rice producers’ technical efficiency based on their exposure to disaster-induced impacts over the past five years. Using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis, we examine factors influencing household-level productive efficiency in three coastal districts—Patuakhali, Cox’s Bazar, and Khulna. Our findings reveal that rice-producing households affected by natural disasters between 2014 and 2018 exhibited, on average, an 8.29 percentage point higher productive efficiency compared to unaffected households. When controlling for other confounding variables, such as household characteristics and external conditions, the efficiency gain rises to 19.8%. This suggests that households exposed to adverse climatic events may have adapted their farming practices to become more resilient, thus improving their productive efficiency in the long term. Moreover, our results indicate that a larger household size enhances efficiency by 6.7%. Households where rice farming is the primary occupation also tend to be more efficient, likely because of greater specialization and focus on improving agricultural practices. Finally, the age of the producer is positively associated with efficiency, reflecting the accumulation of farming experience and knowledge over time.

Pre- and post-storm inventory of endangered Partula radiolata snails at Asan Ridge, Guam: Revised July 2024
Authors: Gawel Ann , Gawel Ann
Published: December 2024

The Partulidae are a Pacific-wide family of tree snails with high levels of endemism and with a majority of their extant species having special conservation concern. Having radiated across Pacific Islands, this family has evolved with some frequency of tropical storms. However, little is known about their response or recovery rates from severe storms. The island of Guam has its own unique species of Partulidae, Partula radiolata. One of the largest and most accessible occurrences of P. radiolata in the island is located at the Asan Beach Unit of the War in the Pacific National Historical Park. A population assessment of the area?s partulids was conducted approximately one month before a major typhoon ? Typhoon Mawar ? hit the island. The same series of transects used before the typhoon was repeated approximately three weeks after the typhoon. two hundred twenty-five P. radiolata were counted in the Asan Beach Unit before the typhoon, and 177 after the typhoon. The biggest decline in numbers occurred amongst juvenile partulids ? from 53 counted before the typhoon, to just 11 after the typhoon. The vegetation was severely impacted by the storm, opening up much of the canopy and downing many trees and branches. Despite suffering some obvious mortality, P. radiolata were still persisting within the area. Because this is one of the most accessible populations of P. radiolata, we have an opportunity to monitor post-storm recovery on a regular basis that would be unfeasible at more remote population locations.

Authors: Kromka-Szydek Magdalena , Chwalik-Pilszyk Gabriela , Dziechciowski Zygmunt
Published: December 2024

Purpose

The aim of the study was to quantitatively evaluate the vibrations received on the wheelchair footrest and to determine whether wheelchair users are at risk of vibration-white foot. This assessment was made using the ISO 2631 standard.

Methods

The measurements were taken on the footrest of a universal wheelchair. The tests were carried out on five surfaces frequently found in public spaces and measurements were carried out on a study group of eight non-disabled people.

Results

The vibration values received on the footrest of a universal wheelchair are higher compared to the vibrations received on the seat. It was found that the comfort limit defined by the ISO 2631 standard for frequencies in the 30-40 Hz range was exceeded. It is worth noting that the wheelchair footrest also surpassed the vibration nuisance limit for frequencies in the range of 5-25 Hz for vertical vibrations on all tested surfaces.

Conclusions

Research shows that a wheelchair user is exposed to whole body vibrations occurring on the footrest. It therefore seems reasonable to take steps to minimize this factor.

Arsenate removal from aqueous solutions: thermodynamic and kinetic study on iron hydroxide-impregnated corn cob
Authors: da Silva Eloisa Stéphanie , Pires Renata de Castro , Gurgel Leandro Vinícius Alves , Leão Versiane Albis
Published: December 2024

The contamination of water resources with arsenic is a serious environmental problem. This research investigated the use of a strategic agricultural waste for Brazil, i.e., corn cob as a low-cost, biodegradable, and eco-efficient material for As(V) adsorption. Arsenate removal from an aqueous solution with iron hydroxide impregnated corn cob (IHCC) was investigated under different pH values (2-10). FTIR spectra revealed that monodentate complexes were formed during the adsorption of arsenate on IHCC. Furthermore, SEM micrographs revealed a uniform distribution of Fe(III) and also As(V) on the IHCC. IHCC was efficient in the removal of arsenic from acidic solutions, mainly those having pH values between 2 and 3 at temperatures below 50°C. The adsorption kinetics followed the pseudo-second order model with an activation energy of 39.35 ± 6.99 kJ mol-1 implying that chemical reaction was the controlling step of arsenic adsorption by IHCC. In addition, arsenic adsorption on IHCC was (i) an entropically driven, (ii) spontaneous, and (iii) endothermic phenomenon (+23.82 kJ mol-1) and involved electrostatic adsorption and chemosorption (Qmax = 40 mg/g, at 25°C).
