Authors: Huang Xiaofei , Zheng Jiaqi , Ma Ye , Hou Meijin , Wang Xiangbin
Published: July 2023

Introduction: With the global prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an increasing number of people are experiencing respiratory discomfort. Respiratory biomechanics can monitor breathing patterns and respiratory movements and it is easier to prevent, diagnose, treat or rehabilitate. However, there is still a lack of global knowledge structure in the field of respiratory biomechanics. With the help of CiteSpace software, we aim to help researchers identify potential collaborators and collaborating institutions, hotspots and research frontiers in respiratory biomechanics.

Methods: Articles on respiratory biomechanics from 2003 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection by using a specific strategy, resulting a total of 2,850 publications. We used CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze the year of publication, journal/journals cited, country, institution, author/authors cited, references, keywords and research trends. Co-citation maps were created to visually observe research hot spots and knowledge structures.

Results and discussion: The number of annual publications gradually increased over the past 20 years. Medical Physics published the most articles and had the most citations in this study. The United States was the most influential country, with the highest number and centrality of publications. The most productive and influential institution was Harvard University in the United States. Keall PJ was the most productive author and MCCLELLAND JR was the most cited authors The article by Keall PJ (2006) article (cocitation counts: 55) and the article by McClelland JR (2013) were the most representative and symbolic references, with the highest cocitation number and centrality, respectively. The top keywords were “radiotherapy”, “volume”, and “ventilation”. The top Frontier keywords were “organ motion,” “deep inspiration,” and “deep learning”. The keywords were clustered to form seven labels. Currently, the main area of research in respiratory biomechanics is respiratory motion related to imaging techniques. Future research may focus on respiratory assistance techniques and respiratory detection techniques. At the same time, in the future, we will pay attention to personalized medicine and precision medicine, so that people can monitor their health status anytime and anywhere.
Parental reports on language development in toddlers and preschoolers based on the Croatian version of Communicative Development Inventories III
Authors: Šmit Brleković Lidija , Kuvač Kraljević Jelena
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Previous studies have focused on understanding parental attempts to record language development in children, across many typologically different languages. However, many of these studies restricted their assessment to children up to the age of 3 years. The aim of this paper was to move this boundary by examining language development in typically language developed children older than 3 years.

Methods

Using the Croatian version of the Communicative Development Inventories III (CDI-III-HR), we investigated the contribution of parental reports of a child’s lexical, grammatical, and metalinguistic awareness abilities to general language abilities assessed by clinicians. Participants included the parents of 151 children between the ages of 30 to 48 months, who completed the CDI-III-HR and reported on their child’s language abilities.

Results

Our results show that age is significantly associated with the lexical, grammatical, and metalinguistic awareness abilities of a child’s language development. These findings confirm that all three abilities increase with age and that parents can perceive changes in a child’s language development. The subsections of CDI-III-HR were moderately to strongly associated with each other, with the strongest association being between lexicon and grammar, suggesting that they remain closely related after the age of 30 months. Parental assessments of a child’s language development are a better predictor of language production than language comprehension, with grammar making the most consistent and significant contribution.

Discussion

This study confirms that the development of grammatical abilities is the most prominent skill between the ages of 30 to 48 months and that parents can observe the transition in the child’s language development through their usage of grammar in words to grammar in sentences. Based on the selected sample of children, we discovered different patterns of parental success in assessing the child’s language ability. These findings indicate that parents can act as valuable sources of information regarding the child’s language abilities, but clinical assessments of early language development should consider many other formal sources of information in addition to parental reports.

Published: July 2023

This review focuses on the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the evaluation of the gastrointestinal tract (GI MRI), analyzing the major technical advances achieved in this field, such as diffusion-weighted imaging, molecular imaging, motility studies, and artificial intelligence. Today, MRI performed with the more advanced imaging techniques allows accurate assessment of many bowel diseases, particularly inflammatory bowel disease and rectal cancer; in most of these diseases, MRI is invaluable for diagnosis, staging, and disease monitoring under treatment. Several MRI parameters are currently considered activity biomarkers for inflammation and neoplastic disease. Furthermore, in younger patients with acute or chronic GI disease, MRI can be safely used for short-term follow-up studies in many critical clinical situations because it is radiation-free. MRI assessment of functional gastro-esophageal and small bowel disorders is still in its infancy but very promising, while it is well established and widely used for dynamic assessment of anorectal and pelvic floor dysfunction; MRI motility biomarkers have also been described. There are still some limitations to GI MRI related to high cost and limited accessibility. However, technical advances are expected, such as faster sequences, more specific intestinal contrast agents, AI analysis of MRI data, and possibly increased accessibility to GI MRI studies. Clinical interest in the evaluation of bowel disease using MRI is already very high, but is expected to increase significantly in the coming years.

Low pasture biomass production and fodder scarcity are among the major challenges affecting productivity of dairy cattle farms in Sri Lanka. As a potential solution to this, two Napier hybrid cultivars, CO-5 and Sampoorna, were recently introduced, and a field experiment was conducted to evaluate their growth, dry matter production, and nutritional composition from May to September 2020 to identify the optimum stage of harvest during the Yala season of the year. Plant measurements and samples were collected at five harvest intervals (4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 weeks after planting, respectively), with the plant samples subjected to biomass and nutritional assessments. The number of tillers and leaf length significantly differed (p = 0.01) between the two cultivars at 4 weeks harvesting interval (HI), whilst the number of leaves differed at 12-week HI, respectively. Dry matter yield increased (p = 0.16) almost linearly, whilst crude protein declined exponentially with CO-5 greater than Sampoorna (p = 0.057; 9.3% vs. 8.7%), with increasing harvesting intervals, respectively. In vitro organic matter digestibility and in vitro metabolizable energy contents were similar across weeks 4, 6, and 8 but then decreased. This study demonstrates that higher dry matter yields (12.54 t/ha) can be obtained through harvesting both cultivars at 12 week HIs, but from a nutritional perspective, harvesting at 6 week HIs during Yala season of the year would be optimum for farmers.
Redefining Sustainability and Entrepreneurship Teaching
Authors: Kotla Bhavana , Bosman Lisa
Published: July 2023

The demand for sustainable development is rapidly increasing with the need to create cleaner and greener products for consumers and producers alike. In line with this need, sustainability has become integral to entrepreneurship research. Although sustainability-focused entrepreneurship programs are offered at higher education institutions, gaps remain in identifying novel approaches to combining sustainability and entrepreneurship in university programs. To overcome these gaps, this study provides an approach to redefining how sustainability-based entrepreneurship can be taught in a virtual environment using a cross-institution initiative involving instructors and students from multiple countries and disciplinary backgrounds to provide students with opportunities to solve complex sustainability-based problems affecting society. A post-assessment survey (including open-ended questions related to skill development, intercultural learning, virtual learning, and debrief) was administered to better understand student perceptions of learning and engagement. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic inductive analysis resulting in three key themes (learning outcomes, supportive learning environment, and intercultural challenges). The Discussion and Conclusion sections highlight implications for practitioners, contributions to the literature, and limitations/future research. Pedagogical strategies for educators and program designers are provided.
A Rational Combination of Cyclocarya paliurus Triterpene Acid Complex (TAC) and Se-Methylselenocysteine (MSC) Improves Glucose and Lipid Metabolism via the PI3K/Akt/GSK3β Pathway

Published: July 2023

Cyclocarya paliurus (CP) contains triterpene acids that can improve glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. However, controlling the composition and content of these active ingredients in CP extracts is challenging. The main active components in CP triterpene acids, including ursolic acid (UA), oleanolic acid (OA), and betulinic acid (BA), exhibit antihyperglycemic and antihypertensive effects. The response surface methodology was utilized to design and optimize the ratio of UA, OA, and BA based on the inhibition rate of pancrelipase and α-amylase. The proportional mixture of UA, OA, and BA resulted in the formation of a complex known as Cyclocarya paliurus triterpenoid acid (TAC). Se-methylselenocysteine (MSC), a compound with various physiological functions such as antioxidant properties and tumor inhibition, has been used in combination with TAC to form the TAC/MSC complex. Our data demonstrate that TAC/MSC improved palmitic acid (PA)-induced insulin resistance in HepG2 cells through activating the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) /protein kinase B (AKT)/glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3β) pathway. Moreover, TAC/MSC effectively improved hyperglycemia, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and lipid metabolism disorder in mice with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), attenuated hepatic steatosis, and reduced oxidative stress to alleviate T2DM characteristics.
Polymer Dynamics in Glycerol–Water Mixtures
Authors: Stepišnik Janez
Published: July 2023

Velocity correlation spectra (VAS) in binary mixtures of water and glycerol (G/W), obtained by measurements using the modulated gradient spin echo (MGSE) NMR method, were explained by the interactions of water molecules with clusters formed around the hydrophilic glycerol molecule, which drastically change the molecular dynamics and rheology of the mixture. It indicates a thickening of the shear viscosity, which could affect the dynamics of submerged macromolecules. The calculation of the polymer dynamics with the Langevin equations according to the Rouse model, where the friction was replaced by the memory function of the retarded friction, gave the dependence of the dynamics of the polymer on the rate of shear viscous properties of the solvent. The obtained formula was used to calculate the segmental VAS of the polymer when immersed in pure water and in a G/W mixture with 33 vol% glycerol content, taking into account the inverse proportionality between the solvent VAS and friction. The spectrum shows that in the G/W mixture, the fast movements of the polymer segments are strongly inhibited, which creates the conditions for slow processes caused by the internal interaction between the polymer segments, such as interactions that cause disordered polypeptides to spontaneously fold into biologically active protein molecules when immersed in such a solvent.

Pet owners think of their animals as part of their family, which further promotes the growth of the pet food market, encouraging pet owners to select nutritious, palatable, and high-quality foods for pets. Therefore, the evaluation of taste and volatile compounds in pet foods is essential to improve palatability. In this study, the sensory characteristics of taste and odor compounds in 10 commercially available dry dog foods were investigated using electronic tongue (E-tongue), electronic nose (E-nose), gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and gas chromatography–olfactometry (GC-O). Dry dog foods were separated based on the sensory properties of taste and volatile compounds through the multivariate analysis of integrated results of the E-tongue and E-nose. A total of 67 odor active compounds were detected through GC-MS and GC-O, and octanal, nonanal, 2-pentyl furan, heptanal, and benzaldehyde were identified as key odor compounds which may have positive effects on food intake. The multivariate analysis was used to classify samples based on key odor compounds. Volatile compounds responsible for aroma properties of samples were evaluated using GC-O and multivariate analysis in this present study for the first time. These results are expected to provide fundamental data for sensory evaluation in producing new dog foods with improved palatability.

Complexes of the alkali metals Li-Cs with 3-thiophenecarboxylate (3tpc), 2-methyl-3-furoate (2m3fur), 3-furoate (3fur), 4-hydroxycinnamate (4hocin), and 4-hydroxybenzoate (4hob) ions were prepared via neutralisation reactions, and the structures of [Li2(3tpc)2]n (1Li); [K2(3tpc)2]n (1K); [Rb(3tpc)(H2O)]n (1Rb); [Cs{H(3tpc)2}]n (1Cs); [Li2(2m3fur)2(H2O)3] (2Li); [K2(2m3fur)2(H2O)]n (2K); [Li(3fur)]n(3Li); [K(4hocin](H2O)3]n (4K); [Rb{H(4hocin)2}]n.nH2O (4Rb); [Cs(4hocin)(H2O)]n (4Cs); [Li(4hob)]n (5Li); [K(4hob)(H2O)3]n (5K); [Rb(4hob)(H2O)]n (5Rb); and [Cs(4hob)(H2O)]n (5Cs) were determined via X-ray crystallography. Bulk products were also characterised via XPD, IR, and TGA measurements. No sodium derivatives could be obtained as crystallographically suitable single crystals. All were obtained as coordination polymers with a wide variety of carboxylate-binding modes, except for dinuclear 2Li. Under conditions that normally gave coordinated carboxylate ions, the ligation of hydrogen dicarboxylate ions was observed in 1Cs and 4Rb, with short H-bonds and short O…O distances associated with the acidic hydrogen. The alkali-metal carboxylates showed corrosion inhibitor properties inferior to those of the corresponding rare-earth carboxylates.

Omega-3 fatty acids v(ω-3 FAs) such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (ω-6 FAs) such as linoleic acid and arachidonic acid are important fatty acids responsible for positive effects on human health. The main sources of ω-3 FAs and ω-6 FAs are marine-based products, especially fish oils. Some food, supplements, and pharmaceutical products would include fish oils as a source of ω-3 FAs and ω-6 FAs; therefore, the quality assurance of these products is highly required. Some analytical methods mainly based on spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques have been reported. Molecular spectroscopy such as Infrared and Raman parallel to chemometrics has been successfully applied for quantitative analysis of individual and total ω-3 FAs and ω-6 FAs. This spectroscopic technique is typically applied as the alternative method to official methods applying chromatographic methods. Due to the capability to provide the separation of ω-3 FAs and ω-6 FAs from other components in the products, gas and liquid chromatography along with sophisticated detectors such as mass spectrometers are ideal analytical methods offering sensitive and specific results that are suitable for routine quality control.

Published: July 2023

Silica aerogels are considered as the distinguished materials of the future due to their extremely low thermal conductivity, low density, and high surface area. They are widely used in construction engineering, aeronautical domains, environmental protection, heat storage, etc. However, their fragile mechanical properties are the bottleneck restricting the engineering application of silica aerogels. This review briefly introduces the synthesis of silica aerogels, including the processes of sol–gel chemistry, aging, and drying. The effects of different silicon sources on the mechanical properties of silica aerogels are summarized. Moreover, the reaction mechanism of the three stages is also described. Then, five types of polymers that are commonly used to enhance the mechanical properties of silica aerogels are listed, and the current research progress is introduced. Finally, the outlook and prospects of the silica aerogels are proposed, and this paper further summarizes the methods of different polymers to enhance silica aerogels.
Estimating Local Food Capacity in Publicly Funded Institutions
Authors: Knight Andrew , Chopra Hema
Published: July 2023

This article presents three approaches to estimate the size of the publicly funded institutional marketplace to determine what opportunities exist for local farmers and fishers. First, we found that estimates from national foodservice sales statistics over-estimate local capacity opportunities. Second, analyzing budgets of publicly funded institutions for foodservice expenditures proved more difficult than anticipated. Third, a consumption production model from data provided by the institutions and comparing it to production statistics enabled us to estimate local capacity in publicly funded institutions for specific commodities. The consumption production model provided the most useful estimates for Extension and government decision makers.
Beyond Brand Image: A Neuromarketing Perspective
Authors: Jukić Dinko
Published: July 2023

The study presents, discusses and analyses the brand image and the role of emotions. The text consists of two parts: neuroscience and marketing-psychological. The neuroscience section presents and discusses emotions from a medical perspective. Emotions are expressed by visceral motor changes. A special review is based on Damasio’s theory of emotions analysed in the context of neuromarketing. In the marketing-psychological part, the roles of emotions on consumer behaviour are discussed. It starts from the presentation of the brand image and the connection with the brand identity. The image starts from the roots of imagination, the theory of emotion and the psychological construct of self-image. The brand becomes the consumer’s image communicating at the symbolic level, and at the same time represents the active image of the consumer’s self-image. Given the increasing complexity of the neuromarketing doctrine, the proposed approach could be useful for improving the understanding of brand image from an interdisciplinary perspective. This study provides theoretical framework on brand image and neuromarketing. Moreover, it offers valuable insight to marketers from neuroscience and semiotics.

Hukukî dinlenilme hakkı, temelini Anayasa’dan ve Avrupa İnsan Hakları Sözleşmesi’nden alan adil yargılanma hakkının unsurlarındadır. Tahkim yargılamasında tarafların hukukî dinlenilme hakkının korunacağı Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu’nun tahkime ilişkin kısmında ayrıca ve açıkça belirtilmiştir (m. 423). Hukuk Muhakemeleri Kanunu’nun hakem kararlarının iptalini düzenleyen 439’uncu maddesinde de hukukî dinlenilme hakkına riayet edilmemiş olması iptal sebebi olarak yer almaktadır. Çalışmamızda söz konusu iptal sebebine dayanarak açılan davalar bakımından önem arz eden konular ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda hukukî dinlenilme hakkının ihlal edildiği gerekçesiyle bir hakem kararının iptali için gereken şartlar, hukukî dinlenilme hakkının ihlali sayılan somut durumlar ve iptal yargılamalarında yaygın olarak hukukî dinlenilme hakkı ile birlikte kullanılan kamu düzeni kavramı üzerinde durulmuştur.
BİR HUKUKA UYGUNLUK SEBEBİ OLARAK İSNADIN İSPATI
Authors: ÖZGENÇ İzzet
Published: July 2023

Haber verme, eleştiri ve ihbar veya şikâyet hakkının kullanılması bağlamında dikkate alınması gereken en önemli husus, kişiye bulunulan isnadın gerçekliğidir. Belli bir olguyu haber yapan, belli bir olguya istinaden bir başkasını eleştiren ve hatta, ihbar veya şikâyette bulunan kişi bazen hakaret ve iftira etmekle suçlanabilmektedir ve bu nedenle hakkında soruşturma ve kovuşturma yapılabilmektedir. Haberin konusu, eleştirinin dayanağı ve ihbar veya şikâyetin konusu olan olgunun, ilgilisi bakımından bir suç isnadı mahiyeti taşıması ve bunun, isnatta bulunulan tarafından inkâr edilmesi halinde, ortaya çıkan sorunun çözümü bakımından isnadın ispatı büyük önem taşımaktadır. İspat hakkı hem isnatta bulunan hem de isnatta bulunulan kişiye bu imkânı sağlamaktadır. İspat hakkı genellikle hakaret suçu bağlamında ele alınmaktadır. Ancak bu hakkın iftira suçu bakımından da bir hukuka uygunluk sebebi oluşturduğunu gözden uzak tutmamak gerekir. Buna karşın, isnadın ispatı yolunun işletilmesine hukuk uygulamamızda pek rastlanmaz. Bunun sebebi, hukuk camiamızda isnadın ispatı müessesesinin hukuki mahiyeti, fonksiyonu, usulü ve sonuçları hakkında yeterli bilgi sahibi olunmamasıdır. İsnadın ispatı, demokratik toplumlarda iktidar ile muhalefet arasındaki çekişmelerdeki isnatlar bakımından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu makalede, isnadın ispatının hukuki mahiyeti, haber verme, eleştiri, ihbar veya şikâyet hakkı ile olan ilişkisi, kapsam ve sınırları, bu hakkın kullanılma usulü ve kullanılmasının sonuçları ile ilgili tespit ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.
The symphonic suite Scheherazade: the model of a multiprogrammatic conception
Authors: GARAZ OLEG
Published: July 2023

The symphonic suite Scheherazade (1888) attracts attention not only because of the beauty or oriental exoticism of Rimsky-Korsakov’s music. This programmatic musical narrative about a female narrator sparks the imagination itself. Moreover, the subject matter of this extraordinary work is primarily about the power of creative fantasy and equally about the ability of fiction to shape both human character and reality itself. All the more surprising is such a postmodern interpretation of the female figure in a work belonging to a national school of the 19th century. Or, in the terms of contemporary knowledge, this symphonic suite, having as its subject some stories from the famous collection 1001 nights, reveals itself as a genuine psychodrama in which the intelligence of a young woman wins in a merciless confrontation for survival, but by even curing the man who was going to kill her. In the end, it is surprising the case of this compositional conception, which without losing its expressive freshness, proves both its actuality and, above all, its fecundity through the ability to accommodate several hermeneutic scenarios in the same sound form.
Hesychia and Psalmody Today
Authors: SÎRBU ADRIAN
Published: July 2023

The Romanian Patriarchate declared that the year 2022 was to be devoted to the commemoration of the Hesychast saints Simeon the New Theologian, Gregory Palamas, and Paisios of Neamț. This led us to the idea of discussing the connections between the tradition of Hesychasm and psalmody, even more so as Saint Paisios was one of the greatest supporters of psaltic music in the communities he shepherded. To what extent can we still speak of hesychia in psaltic chanting today, when many Orthodox parishes experience a state of stagnation or even degradation of chanting? Is hesychia an experience meant only for monks or can psalmody lead to hesychia even in the case of ordinary churchgoers?When we talk of psalmody, in the broad sense of chanting hymnographic texts, we refer to a sacred act of prayer expressed through different states of mind. These moods or ethe are the true music that springs from the inside and overflows outside through outward forms of expression such as one’s posture, facial expression, spoken words, and, finally, intoned melodies. All these forms expressing one’s inner ethe generate, in turn, different moods in the souls of those who listen and pray to the words and melodies of the chants. According to the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Eastern Church, liturgical chanting creates a direct, extremely strong and mysterious connection between the inner experiences of the chanter and those who listen and receive these states of mind directly by audition. Therefore, the psaltis or chanter must know and be able to control all the objective or subjective factors that can create certain states of mind.

Tuning of graphene plasmons by ferroelectric superdomain for mid-infrared photodetector with high responsivity
Authors: Chen Jianbo , Li Yadong , Cai Ji , Guo Junxiong
Published: July 2023

A new strategy is demonstrated for confining graphene plasmons to resonantly enhance light–matter interactions for tunable mid-IR detection. Our devices consist of integrating monolayer graphene without patterning onto a nanoribbon-connected ring-shaped ferroelectric superdomain with alternately up- and down-polarization. The simulations show that our devices have a tunable spectral response from 11.7 to 19.5 μm by both reconfiguring the ferroelectric superdomain and varying the ferroelectric-gated graphene Fermi level. A highest photoresponsivity of 796–947 A W−1 has been achieved in 10–20 μm. The proof-of-concept photodetector offers the possibility to simplify the fabrication of plasmonic devices and helps the development of applications of tunable mid-IR detection.

Computational Processes for General Intelligence The SEOM Model
Authors: Balakrishnan Prabhakar
Published: July 2023

The ‘brain-mind-intelligence’ structure may be considered analogous to a ‘computer-operating system (OS)-application’ construct. Software development would be far more difficult without the benefit of abstractions like file and memory handles, and graphical user interfaces, implemented in operating systems. The easy access to application-level semantics, provided by the infrastructure of the OS, simplifies application development.  Abstractions can play a similar role in producing intelligent systems. The power of abstractions may be determined by their ability to unify the treatment of several types of higher concepts. Unifying various concepts in the domain of intelligence, such as problems, solutions, objects, and emotions, through abstractions, will be of immense value. This paper shows how ‘higher-level perceptions’ could be used to serve this objective and construct an OS-like infrastructure. With the infrastructure in place, ordinary software objects developed and deployed using standard methods, become accessible using the semantics provided by the infrastructure. Now, after brief training exercises, the objects would be available for intelligent use. The focus, therefore, is on the design of the infrastructure that could play a mind-like role in humans, using some ideas from philosophers like Kant, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, and Popper.

The design uses a new, non-symbolic, non-connectionist, transmutable method of representation that tackles the so-called ‘frame’ and ‘grounding’ problems of artificial intelligence. The infrastructure enables the conversion of sensory inputs to transmutable representations (amenable to semantic modifications), to flexibly act on software objects developed externally. Furthermore, the infrastructure serves to ground and functionally manage the transmutable, connectionist, and symbolic systems. Thus, the new model plays a critical role in building intelligent systems that overcome major problems in learning and action selection, including brittleness associated with the limited semantics of purely symbolic and connectionist designs. 

The new model is then evaluated in terms of features, against criteria set forth independently by Newell, Sun, Vernon, and others. In addition, a new measure of intelligence introduced in this paper is used to quantitatively compare the proposed model with some others developed over the years.

This research aims at finding the hydraulic conductivity of the peatland on the location of canal blocking at the Bukit Tunggal subdistrict Jl. Cilik Riwut Km.13 Palangka Raya. It has been known that the hydraulic conductivity of the peatland is different from the ones from mineral soil. Peat soil consists of organic materials with high concentration which come from degradation of plants, in submerged and anaerobic conditions. In this research a well is built with 0,2m, 0,4m, 0,6m dan 0,7m deep in which the hydraulic conductivity will be calculated for each depth. The results shows that the hydraulic conductivity values are 7,823 x 10-7 ms-1, 6,3890 x 10-7 ms-1, 5,698 x 10-6 ms-1, dan 1,717 x 10-7 ms-1, respectively. These results are in accordance with the passed research in hydraulic conductivity values. Therefore, it can be concluded that the value of hydraulic conductivity is getting smaller when the depth of soil is increasing. It is because the maturity level of peat is different in different depth. More depth means denser the peat is. Therefore, lesser K value is found in deeper peat with lesser porosity.
