Published: January 2024

This study explores the application of machine learning techniques in the agricultural domain, focusing on the classification of two common diseases in mango leaves: Powdery Mildew and Sooty Mould. Utilizing the MangoLeafBD dataset, the research employs a Gradient Boosting Classifier, enhanced with mean shift image segmentation and Hu moments for feature extraction. The performance of the model was rigorously evaluated through 5-fold cross-validation, yielding insights into its accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results demonstrate moderate success, with the highest accuracy and precision observed in the initial fold, indicating the model's potential for reliable disease identification. The study addresses the challenge of distinguishing between diseases with similar symptomatic appearances, offering a novel, data-driven approach for disease management in mango cultivation. This research contributes to the growing field of precision agriculture, highlighting the potential of machine learning in enhancing disease diagnosis and treatment strategies, thus supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Frontal Attack or Retrograde: Croatian Military Terminology Confronting Anglo-American Terminological Influx
Authors: Vrgoč Dalibor
Published: January 2024

With the accession of Croatia to NATO, Croatian military terminology was confronted with a vast and complex terminological pool in English, for which Croatian equivalents had to be developed. This paper aims to address and investigate both latent and conspicuous mirroring of English term-formation patterns at all linguistic levels, as well as calqueing as a mechanism for creating Croatian equivalents. The research was undertaken on a corpus-verified excerpt of terms that were subjected to terminological analysis. Prima facie observations confirmed the efforts of subject matter experts to develop contemporary Croatian military terminology using Croatian language material. However, multiple criteria revealed the sample was debatable, both from the perspective of the standard Croatian language and of terminological principles. The research demonstrated that Croatian (terminological) term formation – as the most desirable method of term formation – is significantly underrepresented and dominated by latent linguistic borrowing (calques) and multiword term units. Because multiword terms constitute the most prevalent subgroup of terms today, they were given additional consideration, especially as Anglo-American structures and patterns are most closely emulated at this level of term formation. Anglo-American formation patterns frequently take priority, typically under the pretext of their alleged precision and transparency, despite the Croatian language substantial inherent term-formation potential. To systematize military terminology and introduce stability into the conceptual system, the author deemed it beneficial to go beyond the merely descriptive level of research and render solutions for terminological gaps or the terminology requiring revision and normative preference by undertaking concrete normative interventions and providing practical paradigmatic models. Finally, the rendered solutions were designed to both catalyze future interventions in Croatian military terminology and revise the current one.
Western Newspapers and the War in Croatia
Authors: Pauković Davor , Roško Marko
Published: January 2024

At the time of the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the beginning of the war in Croatia in 1991, the Balkans were not in the focus of Western politics, which was preoccupied with the collapse of the USSR and the Gulf War. The dominant position of Western policy was the preservation of Yugoslavia and the maintenance of geopolitical stability. In the second half of 1991, under the influence of the war in Croatia, Western policy slowly turned towards the possibility of the disintegration of Yugoslavia and the recognition of the independence of Slovenia and Croatia. The article analyzes the American and British newspaper narratives about the war in Croatia during the five-month peak of the conflict, from September 1991 to January 1992. The analysis was conducted on four daily newspapers, two American (The New York Times, Los Angeles Times) and two British (The Independent, The Guardian). A total of 920 texts were analyzed through coding based on the adoption of a pro-Croatian, pro-Serbian, or neutral position. The research shows that more texts about the war in Croatia were published in the analyzed British newspapers. Secondly, the narrative is significantly marked by a neutral stance, which coincides with the unclear and undefined policy of the West towards the Yugoslav crisis. Thirdly, there were significantly more pro-Croatian than pro-Serbian texts in the analyzed period.
Population Trends of Bogomolje Parish (Island of Hvar, Croatia) According to Registers from 1855-1894
Authors: Lozančić Lada , Lozančić Sanja
Published: January 2024

This paper presents historical-demographic movement and population development of Bogomolje parish on the island of Hvar, according to the registers of births/christenings and deaths from 1855 to 1894. Bogomolje, a hill settlement on the eastern side of the island of Hvar, was mentioned as early as in the 15th century, but it was intensively populated during the period of the Ottoman conquests when it was colonised by population who had fled from the mainland of the Adriatic coast, mostly from the coastal area of Makarska. An analysis of natural movement data has served in this paper as an indicator of birth and mortality rates, natural increase and migration balance, based on which the migration wave that had affected Bogomolje parish at the end of the 19th century was presented.

Model Prediksi Ketersediaan Air Menggunakan Data Sirkulasi Atmosfer
Authors: Halik Gusfan , Wahyuni Sri , Yunarni Wiwik , Bukhori Saiful
Published: January 2024

Perubahahan iklim global telah memberikan pengaruh terhadap perubahan pola curah hujan sehingga berdampak pada ketersediaan air. Disamping itu, kondisi fenomena iklim lokal seperti ENSO juga memberikan pengaruh terhadap perubahan pola hujan dan ketersediaan air. Saat ini, prediksi hujan dan ketersediaan air sangat sulit dilakukan karena terjadinya perubahan iklim dan adanya ketidakpastian fenomena iklim lokal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memodelkan ketersediaan air di DAS Sampean Baru Kabupaten Bondowoso menggunakan data sirkulasi atmosfer secara langsung. Model prediksi ketersediaan air diusulkan menggunakan model hybrid berbasis kecerdasan buatan, yaitu : Wavelet Neural Networks (WNN). Model WNN menggabungkan fitur ekstraksi dengan transformasi wavelet dan fungsi transfer non linier Artificial Neural Networks. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola ketersediaan air antara luaran WNN dengan pola ketersediaan air observasi mempunyai kesesuaian pola yang sama.  Namun demikian, luaran WNN belum mampu memprediksi debit aliran tinggi atau debit puncak dengan baik. Oleh karena itu, model WNN ini hanya direkomendasikan untuk memprediksi debit operasional atau debit andalan bulanan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, model prediksi ketersediaan air dengan WNN dapat dimanfaatkan oleh instansi terkait/stakeholder sebagai alternatif dasar pertimbangan dalam merancang strategi alokasi air.
Collision Avoidance of Autonomous Driving at Low Speed in the Near Field of Vehicle
Authors: Pan Junnan , Sotiriadis Prodromos , Englberger Ferdinand
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to propose a new idea for realizing low-power-consumption, real-time, microcontroller-based, redundant embedded collision avoidance systems in autonomous driving applications. When operating a fully automated vehicle, the vehicle generates a driving trajectory based on the global route to the destination. The car must follow the generated driving path. It is essential to ensure the safety of this path by checking that it is collision-free. The goal of our low-level embedded collision avoidance system is to guarantee the safety of the path. After defining the driving path area associated with the generating path and the safe monitoring distance, the system can monitor the vehicle's defined Keep-Out-Area (KOA) by using 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor. Considering the relatively limited computing power of the microcontroller, the KOA is calculated offline and stored in a look-up table (LUT). This paper also introduces an experimental hardware platform based on the proposed system concept. This platform can facilitate the testing of various collision avoidance algorithms. Moreover, we also identify the challenges, such as false positives and deviation from the actual driving path.

Published: January 2024

Production, detection, and reaction to external signaling molecules are essential steps in quorum sensing (QS) process. Through the use of QS, bacterial communities may synchronize their responses to shifts in the density and diversity of their vicinal neighbors. QS also play an important role in regulating enzmyatic activities among marine bacteria. The aim of the present study was to detect and identify N- acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) based QS signaling molecules and the possible influence on alginate lyase in marine bacterial isolates of Grimontia marina AS01 and Alteromonas macleodi AS02. Marine water samples were collected from Arabian Sea, Karchi Pakistan, following the standard collection methods. Bacterial strains were isolated and pure cultured using Zobell 2216 marine medium. Molecular identification was achieved based on 16S rRNA gene analysis. Screening for AHLs was achieved using Agrobacterium tumefaciens A136 as a biosensor. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, the bacterial strains were identified as Grimontia marina strain AS01 (OP143768) and Alteromonas macleodii strain AS02 (OP143769). Cross-feeding bioassay revealed the positive reactions for the production of AHLs. Reversed phase-TLC analysis showed the identification of C6-HSL produced by G. marina AS01 and 3OXO-C6-HSL by A. macleodii AS02 strain. Moreover, QS inhibitor AiiA protein reduced the production of alginate lyase in A. macleodi AS02, while no effect was observed in G. marina AS01. These results substantiate the involvement of QS system in regulating alginate lyase activity in A. macleodii AS02. QS in marine bacteria may involve in hydrolysis of complex organic matter in marine environment.

Authors: Purnama Sari Prasiani
Published: January 2024

Instagram serves as a unique platform for businesses to engage consumers, market products, and convert visitors into buyers. While brands typically tailor their visual presentation to align with the brand persona and the sex/gender of their target audience, Axe Indonesia, in contrast, collaborated with Enzy Storia as an influencer on social media and even at off-network events, thereby indicating the presence of the male gaze in this collaboration. This qualitative study, employing a content analysis approach, aims to understand how the male gaze is reflected in Axe Indonesia's advertising content involving Enzy Storia on Instagram to generate engagement. The findings reveal the existence of visual representation, gender construction, and Enzy Storia's contribution in this collaboration. The male gaze in the visuals is further supported by audio elements, captions, and copy that objectify women

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze further the forms of inheritance protection for children born out of wedlock. The research method used is a normative juridical method, focusing on legal regulations, books, and related literature. The position of children born out of wedlock regarding inheritance issues certainly differs from legitimate children. Children born out of wedlock must fulfill certain conditions to obtain their inheritance rights, especially for children born out of wedlock within the Chinese community, which has customary regulations and legal conditions regarding the protection of their inheritance status. The research is conducted by studying the legal system related to legal regulations on the position, and inheritance status, and by examining secondary sources such as literature and expert opinions. The research analysis is conducted using a qualitative method. Thus, it will explain the inheritance status for children born out of wedlock within the Chinese community.

RAZÃO DESTRONADA, VONTADE INÓCUA:
Authors: Carvalho Wallace da Silva
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo objetiva analisar alguns aspectos das teorias da motivação e da vontade de David Hume. Para esse fim, são discutidos os argumentos apresentados no Livro 2, Parte 3, Seção 3, do Tratado da Natureza Humana, que buscam demonstrar a incapacidade motivacional da razão. Mostra-se que Hume supõe que a razão consiste apenas em raciocínios demonstrativos ou prováveis cujos objetos são proposições, o que não parece ser o caso. Seguem-se análises críticas de Stroud (1977), para quem a razão também se refere à descoberta do valor de verdade de proposições, sendo que crenças decorrentes desse processo de descoberta podem ser capazes de motivar; e de Korsgaard (1996), que apresenta um sentido de irracionalidade própria que pode ser atribuído a uma agente que não é motivada para agir de modo a alcançar um fim que propõe a si mesma. Após, apresenta-se a interpretação humeana da acrasia, caracterizada como um conflito entre paixões calmas e paixões violentas, comentando-se como a teoria motivacional de Hume parece tornar desnecessário o uso do conceito de vontade.

Published: January 2024

A presente pesquisa tem o objetivo de analisar como o amor pode ser inserido em duas perspectivas distintas: tanto a biológica como a jurídica, sendo resposta efetiva como parâmetro para uma construção social mais justa. Para isso, em um primeiro momento, a partir dos conhecimentos obtidos da teoria de Francisco Varela e Humberto Maturana, explora-se as estruturas biológicas conectadas dos seres vivos e a teoria do conhecimento. Por outro lado, verifica-se o imaginário da ciência jurídica, utilizando autores como Warat, para demonstrar que o conhecimento jurídico é reproduzido de forma desviada, com o fim da mantença do poder. Por fim, verifica-se que, apesar de se tratarem de ramos diferentes, a reconstrução da ciência deve ser dada a partir do paradigma de amor como base central das reproduções da sociabilidade.
A COMUNICAÇÃO DE ACIDENTE DE TRABALHO NOS PROCESSOS JULGADOS PELO TRIBUNAL DE JUSTIÇA DE SÃO PAULO NOS ANOS DE 2017 E 2018
Authors: Cusciano Dalton Tria
Published: January 2024

O mercado laboral brasileiro registrou em 2017, conforme o último Anuário Estatístico da Previdência Social disponível, 549.405 acidentes de trabalho, o que motivou este artigo a identificar o índice de subnotificação existente nas ações acidentárias de aposentadoria por invalidez e auxílio-doença impetradas em face do Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS) julgadas de forma favorável ao segurado pelas 16º e 17º Câmaras de Direito Público do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo (TJSP) nos anos de 2017 e 2018, nas quais expressamente se indicava a ausência de emissão da Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho (CAT). Para tanto, foram analisados 3.123 acórdãos os quais foram encontrados por meio da metodologia aplicada. A hipótese de que a subnotificação estava presente em mais da metade dos casos em que expressamente se afirmava que não constava a CAT foi confirmada, diante da concessão judicial da aposentadoria por invalidez e do auxílio-doença em, respectivamente, 62% e 69% dos casos. O artigo ainda analisou a importância dada pelos julgadores à CAT enquanto meio de prova por meio da análise das decisões, concluindo o artigo pela necessidade de revisão do atual modelo da Comunicação de Acidente de Trabalho de modo a diminuir as subnotificações.
CONTRATOS ELETRÔNICOS DE CONSUMO INTERNACIONAL E A AUSÊNCIA LEGISLATIVA EM RELAÇÃO AOS INTERMEDIADORES
Authors: Gomes Eduardo Biacchi , Effing Antonio Carlos , Fonseca Gabriel Ribeiro Vargas da
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo tem por finalidade examinar a responsabilidade dos intermediadores no e-commerce dentro dos contratos eletrônicos de consumo. Verifica-se, dentro do direito internacional privado a diversidade entre as legislações e, neste ponto, a depender do local em que o contrato é celebrado, inúmeras situações podem advir. Se por um lado o Código de Defesa do Consumidor brasileiro traz a responsabilidade de fornecedores, intermediadores e demais participantes do contrato, resta a ausência de harmonização legislativa se a questão for analisada em outra jurisdição. O comércio eletrônico (e-commerce) é uma das causas da expansão comercial globalizada. Se já não bastasse a complexidade do tema por si só, hoje dissemina-se a prática de sites intermediários, que não acompanham o modelo padrão do mercado (comprador e vendedor), mas utiliza-se do desempenho de três elementos: fornecedor, intermediário e consumidor. Com isto, o presente artigo tem por finalidade demonstrar a falta de harmonização internacional quanto a responsabilidade dos sites intermediários quando o consumidor está situado no Brasil, e suas consequências jurídicas. A metodologia escolhida é a dedutiva e explicativo  utilizando-se de pesquisa doutrinária e jurisprudencial.
Building and Managing an Ambidextrous SME in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Vogl Martin , Schumacher Christopher , Maas Peter
Published: January 2024

This paper demonstrates how and under what conditions small and medium-sized enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe can build and manage ambidexterity. We illustrate how an exploitation-driven insurance firm complemented its exploitative core business in Central Europe with exploratory activities (i.e. a new venture) in Eastern Europe to create ambidexterity across two geographically dispersed business units (BUs). We show how the firm achieved ambidexterity by elaborating on the BUs’ micro-political bargaining power and BU leaders changing their units’ mandates and adapting organisational learning to balance exploitation and exploration.

Authors: Choi Insung , Suh Jeong , Park In-Duck , Lee Kwang-Hyeon , Jung In-Chul
Published: January 2024

The development of small modular reactors (SMRs) has attracted significant attention owing to the increasing interest in energy security and carbon neutrality worldwide. An SMR is an advanced nuclear reactor with a power capacity of up to 300 MWe per unit. To fabricate the SMR, innovative manufacturing technologies such as powder metallurgy hot isostatic pressing (PM-HIP), electron beam welding (EBW), and diode laser cladding (DLC) were introduced to reduce the fabrication cost and time. Particularly, this replaced arc-based welding and cladding with high-energy beam-based EBW and DLC. The EBW could provide one pass welding for extremely thick specimens. In addition, in the case of using the DLC, only one layer cladding was acceptable for corrosion protection owing to its low dilution rate. However, studies on the innovative manufacturing technologies were less reported because of technology security. In this study, recently reported research articles regarding the EBW and DLC were reviewed. In particular, local vacuum and reduced pressure electron beam studies were discussed by comparing their the arc welding results. Process parameter studies on the DLC were also reviewed to introduce appropriate optimized conditions for the industry application.

Beauty Against the Grain: The Great Gatsby
Authors: Castelli Alberto
Published: January 2024

With The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald created a narrative frame intertwined with the historical discourse of the Dutch sailors and the American Dream. However, Fitzgerald’s handling of the passing of time calls for another interpretation. Gatsby’s past is to be intended both as a loss and as a source of strength. But the moment he “has” Daisy, Gatsby has come to the end of possibility. With this in mind, the narrative is not about Gatsby’s love for the beautiful Daisy, wife of Tom Buchanan, ex-football star. Instead, it is the successful attempt to recapture the past, the paradoxical beauty of beating against the current. And in this purpose, there is no defeat.

Tradisi sumbangan dalam Walimah al-’urs di Desa Tawangrejo Jatipurno Wonogiri merupakan fenomena menarik, karena prosesnya dilaksanakan tanpa diorganisir oleh seorang ketua tradisi tersebut. Dalam tradisi tersebut beresiko hukum yang terjadi perbedaan pemahaman apakah tradisi tersebut bisa diterapkan atau tidak, dan apakah transaksi merupakan hutang atau hibah, yang selanjutnya berakibat terhadap proses pengembaliannya. Tujuan penelitian ini membahas tentang analisis hukum Islam terhadap sumbangan dalam walimah al-’urs di Desa Tawangrejo Jatipurno Wonogiri. Pendekatan dalam penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan  kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian studi kasus. Data penelitian ini dikumpulkan melalui observasi dan wawancara. Proses analisisnya menggunakan teori ‘urf dan fiqih hibah dan qard. Dari penelitian ini dapat dikemukakan bahwa Pelaksanaan tradisi sumbangan dalam walimah al-’urs di Desa Tawangrejo Jatipurno Wonogiri sudah berjalan sejak lama secara turun temurun, tujuannya sebagai upaya saling tolong menolong  dan untuk menjaga kehormatan/harga diri tamu yang diundang dalam Walimah al-’urs. Analisis hukum Islam terhadap sumbangan dalam walimah al-’urs yang sudah berjalan di Desa Tawangrejo adalah termasuk kategori hibah bi ats-tsawab  (hibah yang   mengharap imbalan), sebab terdapat ‘illat  yang sama antara prosesi pemberian sumbangan yang berlaku di masyarakat dengan transaksi hibah yakni terletak pada tidak wajibnya untuk mengembalikan sumbangan. Sedangkan pengembalian sumbangan tersebut tidak lain merupakan  bagian dari akhlaq mulia seseorang.

Published: January 2024

Penelitian ini merinci fenomena penyelesaian harta warisan di kalangan warga Muhammadiyah dan Nahdatul Ulama di Provinsi Lampung dengan fokus pada penggunaan hukum kewarisan Islam. Sejak Inpres Nomor 1 Tahun 1991 tentang Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI), penelitian ini mengidentifikasi bahwa meskipun KHI telah menjadi panduan resmi, sebagian warga masih cenderung memilih hukum Perdata BW atau hukum Adat dalam penyelesaian warisan. Dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan desain studi kasus, penelitian ini menggali faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi kecenderungan ini, termasuk kedekatan dengan organisasi, pendidikan agama, dan faktor geografis. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa warga Muhammadiyah dan Nahdatul Ulama yang aktif dalam organisasi cenderung lebih mematuhi hukum kewarisan Islam, sementara yang kurang terpengaruh oleh aktivitas dakwah organisasi lebih condong pada adat istiadat lokal. Implikasi penelitian ini memberikan rekomendasi untuk meningkatkan pendidikan agama dan aktivitas dakwah guna memperkuat pemahaman warga terhadap hukum kewarisan Islam, terutama di daerah yang sulit terjangkau oleh organisasi keagamaan.

The implications of probiotics in aquaculture including host health, reproductive development, welfare and nutrition has driven the demand for commercial probiotics for use in aquaculture operations either as feed supplements or through direct application. This study was conducted to evaluate the long-term effects of varying dietary amounts of probiotic supplements on C. gariepinus. Five isonitrogenous diets (42% crude protein) were supplemented with probiotics as follows: Feed A (0 g/kg TPS), Feed B (0.5 g/kg TPS), Feed C (1.0 g/kg TPS), Feed D (1.5 g/kg TPS) and Feed E (2 g/kg TPS) and fed to the experimental fishes in triplicate groups for 38 weeks. Results obtained showed that there was no significant difference in mean fecundity between fish fed the control and probiotic-enriched diets (P > 0.05), with diet B containing 0.5 g/kg Taslyprobiotics having the highest fecundity (61,714.00 ± 4,469.43 eggs) and diet C (1.0 g) having the lowest fecundity (49,568.14 ± 3,920.68 eggs). There was a linear relationship between fecundity of Clarias gariepinus with all body parameters such as body weight, ovary weight, and total length and fecundity of female fish.In addition, a positive and significant correlation was obtained between fecundity and all body parameters. Additionally, there was no uniform increase in fecundity with increasing dietary probiotic inclusion level. In conclusion, probiotics supplementation in diets may boost fecundity but increase in probiotic dietary inclusion level will not result in a corresponding increase in fecundity of C. gariepinus.

For the prevention and treatment of associated gastrointestinal and respiratory diseases in young farm animals, a new veterinary drug Trametin Plus is proposed, obtained on the basis of xylographic fungi using biotechnology methods. The properties of biological products obtained on the basis of microorganisms and fungi depend on the biologically active substances that make up their composition. In the literature, there is scattered information about the features of lipogenesis and the composition of fatty acids synthesized by wood-destroying fungi. The paper presents data on the study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of fatty acids, a qualitative analysis of volatile polar and non-polar organic compounds of the drug. It has been established that the total concentration of fatty acids is 70 µg/g of the preparation. Of these, 50.0% are free fatty acids, the esterified acids of which account for 50.0% of the total mass of fatty acids. Among the dominant non-polar volatile components of Trametin Plus, squalene can be noted. Organic aliphatic amino acids such as glycine, arginine, and β-alanine with a small molecular weight are presented as minor non-polar volatile components of Trametin plus.

The Lotus corniculatus L. species is important from the point of view of its nutritional quality, used as animal feed, contributing to increased lactation in ruminants. It is also used due to its high adaptation to harsh weather conditions and resistance to acidic and arid soils, in this sense it is introduced for soil remediation and cover crop in orchards due to its nitrogen-fixing capacity. The study was conducted in the research fields of ARDS Lovrin, Romania within the laboratory for the improvement of fodder and protein plants, during 2022-2023. The purpose of the study is represented by 10 Birdsfoot Trefoil genotypes harvested from the wild flora in the plain area of Banat, Romania, on which were made quantitative measurements and determinations, of production evaluating the following characters: plant size, number of flowers, number of pods, number of seeds/pods. The results obtained from these determinations have highlighted four valuable genotypes that can be introduced in the breeding process as potential genitors for the creation of new varieties. Analysis of the studied genotypes shows that the number of flowers varies between 200 and 580 from a surface of 1 square meter, and the number of pods per square meter is between 70 and 2900, according to the study, the length of the pods is between 18.75 and 30.66 mm, the average number of seeds/pods differs between 18.3 and 22.90, and the length of the plant varies between 20 and 45 cm. The statistical analysis and interpretation of the results highlights genotypes Lc119, Lc108, Lc73 and Lc62 in terms of analyzed productivity characteristics.

Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk lebih mengenal masyarakat setempat dan ikut membaur bersama masyarakat serta mengedukasi masyarakat mengenai pemanfaatan tanaman rempah untuk kehidupan sehari-hari. Dipilihnya topik ini karena merupakan topik yang jarang di bahas dan jarang di teliti lebih dalam mengenai taman rempah. Padahal jika di ulas lebih dalam taman rempah banyak sekali memberikan manfaat bagi kehidupan, salah satu nya dibidang kesehatan. Selain di bidang kesehatan taman rempah juga dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber penghasilan bagi masyarakat. Dengan menaman dengan jumlah yang besar lalu dijual di pasaran dengan harga dan kualitas yang bagus. Pentingnya topik ini untuk dibahas adalah agar masyarakat semakin peduli terhadap rempah-rempah dibandingkan obat-obatan kimia. Metode yang kami gunakan yaitu dengan melakukan proyek berupa pembuatan taman rempah dimana setiap warga setempat bisa mengambil dan melihat taman rempah tersebut. Hasil kegiatan ini diharapkan mendorong masyarakat untuk mengetahui betapa pentingnya tanaman rempah baik untuk kesehatan atau pun dari aspek lainnya

Tanzania integrated 162,156 refugees in 2010, but integration risks to national security have not been given sufficient attention. This paper examines the national security risks of integrating refugees. The study adopted a case study design mixing both qualitative and quantitative methods. It drew data from 31 key informants and a sample of 397 integrated refugees and native Tanzanians in Katumba Old Settlement. The study found that integrated refugees engage in criminal activities that pose significant national security risks to both Tanzania and their country of origin. Such activities include illegal possession and proliferation of firearms and military weapons and supporting conflicts in their country of origin. It concludes that, such activities are likely to trigger diplomatic tensions and increase the costs of countering armed crime and extreme violence in the country. The study recommends a re-evaluation of the refugee integration strategy. This may include re-evaluating the current approach to refugee integration, improving security models and resettlement plans and implementing cultural integration strategies.

Cancer, a pervasive threat to human health, presents formidable challenges to traditional treatment approaches. Tumor immunotherapy has emerged as a promising strategy for combating malignancies by bolstering the body's immune response to thwart tumor metastasis and recurrence. Nonetheless, the intricacies of tumors, patient heterogeneity, and the presence of tumor-immunosuppressive microenvironments have limited the overall efficacy of immunotherapy, achieving only approximately a 20% success rate. In recent years, nanomaterials have garnered increasing attention in the realm of tumor immunotherapy due to their inherent advantages, such as excellent biocompatibility, precise targeting, and controlled drug release. Nanomaterials empower immunostimulatory molecules and therapeutic agents with the ability to specifically target tumors, amplify drug accumulation at tumor sites, facilitate local immune modulation, alleviate immunosuppressive microenvironments, and thereby enhance the effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy. This review provides an overview of the current state of immunotherapy and offers insights into the ongoing research progress surrounding various nanomaterials aimed at augmenting the efficacy of immunotherapy.
