A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Application for Smart Monitoring and Control System for Drought
Authors: Lorilla Franch Maverick A. , Cabaluna Jana Trishyale
Published: July 2023

The Philippine government persistently grapples with the challenges of low crop yield caused by drought, requiring efficient water management strategies. This becomes increasingly critical given the rising population and decreasing food supply. This study introduces an innovative precision agriculture system powered by the Internet of Things (IoT), designed to address this issue. This IoT-enabled system harnesses wireless technology, connecting environmental and soil sensors via a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). These sensors provide real-time data on farmland stress conditions, enabling farmers to respond swiftly with appropriate interventions. The gathered data are stored in both local and remote database systems and relayed via WiFi to an automated device—a programmable circuit attached to a magnetic latch solenoid—to control field irrigation. The system was piloted in three 12x16 m2 plots in San Ramon, Zamboanga City, employing 24 sensor and automation boxes strategically deployed across the irrigation network. Each box, protected by a robust, 3D-printed ABS plastic casing, safeguards the intricate circuitry from harsh environmental conditions. MQTT and HTTP protocols facilitate the delivery of information to a dedicated Android Application, ensuring remote access. The data is further analyzed using a Neural Network model, optimizing the irrigation schedule intelligently. Our findings validate the efficacy of this smart farming system as a scalable and efficient solution for precision agriculture.

Authors: Makanjuola Adekunle Emmanuel , Adenekan Olusola Adebola , Bam Clement Liambee
Published: July 2023

Domestic violence is a pervasive problem in Nigeria, affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. However, research has shown that older adults may be particularly vulnerable to abuse, as they are often socially isolated and dependent on their partners for care and support. In this context, social support has been identified as a potential protective factor against domestic violence. This paper explores the role of social support in mitigating domestic violence in old age marriages in Nigeria. Drawing on a review of existing literature, the paper examines the various forms of social support that are available to older adults, including emotional, instrumental, and informational support. It also considers the ways in which social support can be mobilized to prevent and respond to domestic violence, such as through community-based interventions and support groups for survivors. The paper highlights several key findings. First, it notes that social support is a critical resource for older adults in preventing and coping with domestic violence. Second, it emphasizes the need for more research on the specific types of social support that are most effective in preventing and mitigating abuse in old age marriages. Third, it highlights the importance of community-based interventions that prioritize social support and address the unique needs of older adults. Overall, this paper underscores the critical role that social support can play in mitigating domestic violence in old age marriages in Nigeria. It suggests that greater attention should be paid to developing and implementing interventions that promote social support and address the unique needs of older adults in the context of domestic violence.

Moisture diffusion modelling and effect of microwave vacuum drying on drying kinetics and quality of yam
Authors: Zhang Fujie , Wang X. , Xin Lidong , Li Lixia , Dai Jianwu , Zhou Jie
Published: July 2023

Microwave vacuum drying (MVD) is a rapid drying method, which can achieve a good balance between drying rate and quality. In the present work, the effects of MVD processes on the quality, drying kinetics, and moisture diffusion of yam (Dioscorea opposita L.) were investigated. Results indicated that the loss of moisture in the MVD of yam slices mainly occurred in the stage with a constant and decreasing speed. When the moisture content of the dry base was decreased to about 1.3 g/g (dry basis, D.B.), it began to enter the deceleration phase. The effective moisture diffusivity (Deff) and mass transfer coefficient (km) increased following the power, loading amount at one time, and vacuum (pressure drop). The established equation of these parameters described well this variation law. Furthermore, a neural network model was established to predict the change in moisture content in the drying process, and the law of moisture diffusion was described. In terms of quality, the contribution ranked from high to low was loading, power, and pressure. Increasing the microwave power, loading, and maintaining a high vacuum degree could reduce energy consumption and ensure quality, thus improving the economic feasibility of microwave vacuum in the drying process.
Optimisation of ultrasound-assisted lipid extraction in the pretreatment of purple-spotted bigeye fish skin
Authors: Chongkhong Sininart
Published: July 2023

The present work investigated the defatting of purple-spotted bigeye fish skin to obtain lipid prior to hydrolysis for gelatine production. Lipid was extracted using ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE). The drying temperature of the skin on lipid recovery and preliminary kinetic of UAE were studied before a two-stage extraction was optimised by employing response surface methodology. Qualities of lipids and of the remaining solids after extraction were then analysed. The optimal drying temperature was found to be 80°C. The kinetic study that followed indicated that the highest extraction rate was achieved at 30°C, and from UAE using ethanol (UAEE) and sequential UAE using hexane (UAEH), the maximum percentage of total lipid recovery was 91.326 at 30°C, 37 kHz, and 60 min. The qualities determined by peroxide, conjugated diene, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and acid values showed that the extracted lipid could be suitable for industry, while the remaining solid could be used as material for gelatine production.

Authors: Aini Nur , Dwiyanti Hidayah , Salamah Mina Parhatun
Published: July 2023

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an autoimmune disease caused by abnormal regulation of blood sugar, with type 2 DM representing 90 - 95% of total DM incidence. One of the preventive measures to improve blood sugar control is the regulation of eating patterns. The purposes of the present work were therefore (1) to determine the proximate composition, carotene and anthocyanin contents, starch digestibility, and antioxidant capacity of Baturraden white rice, Baturraden organic brown rice, and Sirampog black rice; and (2) to determine the effect of feeding these rice on fasting blood sugar and malondialdehyde (MDA) production in diabetic rats. Sirampog black rice had higher levels of carotene and anthocyanin, and higher radical scavenging activity than Baturraden organic brown and white rice. In diabetic rats, Sirampog black rice (Δ = 153.80 mg/dL) could reduce fasting blood sugar more effectively than Baturraden organic brown rice (Δ = 124.48 mg/dL) and Baturraden white rice (Δ = 14.62 mg/dL). Diabetic rats treated with Sirampog black rice also presented the lowest MDA levels of 2.62 nmol/mL when compared with that of Baturraden organic brown rice (3.96 nmol/mL) and Baturraden white rice (10.14 nmol/mL). Based on these results, patients with DM are advised to consume Sirampog black rice. In the future, it is necessary to perform trials in patients with DM to determine the effect of Sirampog black rice on fasting blood sugar and diabetic weight loss.
Dining out safely with food allergies: A comparative perspective from restaurant managers and servers in Malaysia
Authors: Tan Ai Ling , Trupp Alexander , Tan Jing Xuan
Published: July 2023

Food can motivate visiting a destination or coming together with family and friends, but food allergy concerns and reactions increasingly spoil the tourism and leisure experience. Incidents of food allergies in restaurants, and questions on how to handle food allergy communication and practices require attention from the hospitality industry. Based on a survey conducted at restaurants, we applied a five-level framework to examine and compare the multifaceted perspectives of restaurant managers and front-line employees regarding their understanding and practices on food allergies. Findings showed that managers' and servers' food allergy knowledge in Malaysia was low when compared with similar studies conducted in a 'Western' context. In addition, the results also indicated significant differences between food allergy practices and perceived training needs between the two tested groups. In general, managers were more aware of the practices and perceived training needs regarding food allergies than servers. Majority of servers did not receive training in food allergies. Accordingly, all relevant stakeholders must cooperate in developing appropriate educational tools to improve food allergy knowledge.
UV-visible light spectra of Clitoria ternatea L. flower extract during aqueous extraction and storage
Authors: Marpaung Abdullah , Paramaputri Andara
Published: July 2023

Spectrophotometry is a widespread method to observe anthocyanin content, colour quality, and chemical change of an anthocyanin-source extract. The spectrogram may vary due to the extraction method, and may also change over time. The present work studied the spectrophotometric varieties of butterfly pea flower (Clitoria ternatea L.) extract using the cell wall disruption method (mortar-pestle: MP; freezing-thawing: FT; 6 min steam blanching: SB; and 6 min hot water blanching: WB) and aqueous extraction temperature (30, 45, and 60°C) for 210 min. The absorbance was monitored every 30 min. The UV-vis light absorbance shift of the extract during storage at 30°C (E30) and 50°C (E50) was also evaluated. Both SB and WB resulted in extracts with a similar spectrogram and effectively suppressed the brown colour development (browning index: 0.27 ± 0.02 and 0.3 ± 0.01, respectively). The cell wall disruption method did not affect the total anthocyanin. Therefore, the blanching process before extraction was appropriate. The most effective extraction parameter yielding the highest anthocyanin and phenolic substances were 60°C for 30 min. The E50 and E30 performed differently during storage. They showed different colour degradation patterns. For the bathochromic shift, the absorbance increased at 265 nm (phenolic substances), and that at 310 nm (acyl groups) occurred in E50. These three unique characteristics might indicate the event of intermolecular co-pigmentation between or among anthocyanin molecules that led to higher anthocyanin stability at 50°C (t0.5 24.78 days) than at 30°C (t0.5 14.28 days).
Antioxidant activities and emulsification properties of the new model systems of whey proteins and reduced sugars
Authors: Atrooz Omar Mohammad
Published: July 2023

The final products formed from the various systems of the Maillard reactions possess different functional properties such as browning intensity, antioxidant activity, and emulsion stability. To study these properties and activities, different systems of whey proteins reaction with glucose and fructose at different concentrations to form a new model system of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) was observed. Results showed that high optical densities (peaks) at 280 and 420 nm indicated the formation of the intermediate stages of MRPs and the formation of advanced MRPs, respectively. Additionally, results showed that these Maillard reaction model systems possessed different antioxidant activities as demonstrated by DPPH and reducing power assays (20 - 93.2% and 40 - 90%, respectively) depending on the type and concentration of sugar, and the incubation time. The whey protein-fructose model system possessed high antioxidant activity (93.2%), and had the highest percentage on the emulsion stability index (75.4%). The whey protein-fructose model systems comprised the highest number of the studied model systems to form MRPs, and had highly powerful antioxidant activity and emulsifying index.

Authors: Chen Jingting , Yin Liwei , Huang Zhu , Li Shuzhen , Li Yiying , Li Wenjing
Published: July 2023

With the increasing emphasis on core literacy, the concept of STSE education has been widely used in high school biology courses. This paper analyzes the three levels of lesson preparation, teaching and evaluation, and finds that there is still much room for improvement in the implementation of STSE education, i.e., misunderstanding of the connotation of STSE education and homogenization of the selection of materials, lack of wholeness and participation in the teaching process, and "mechanization" or "randomization" of the educational evaluation. We have discussed how to select and optimize STSE teaching materials, strengthen the holistic and participatory nature of STSE teaching, and enrich the main body and content of evaluation.

Prediction of Passive Membrane Permeability of Linagliptin
Authors: Onah Chinwe , Mbah Chika , Iloabuchi Chibuike
Published: July 2023

Linagliptin is a highly selective inhibitor of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 and therefore clinically utilized to treat adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to predict how the ions normally found in extracellular or intracellular fluids within the body system will influence the linagliptin’s rate of passive diffusion across a cell membrane. The methodology involved measuring linagliptin partition coefficient in a chloroform-water system containing the salts at 25 oC by the shake flask method. The results indicate that at the highest concentration (0.5 M) of the salts studied, sodium chloride was found to give the highest partition coefficient value when compared to the control. In conclusion, physiological ions would have little or no effect on the drug’s molecular state within extracellular or intracellular fluid as the salts failed to significantly alter the partition coefficient of the drug, hence will not alter passive membrane permeability of linagliptin.

New challenges in organic fertilization: soil quality indicators under long-term sewage sludge application
Authors:   , Simoes da Mota Ana Cláudia
Published: July 2023

Soils represent a fundamental part of life on Earth and represent a crucial player on climate change action, for their capacity to sequester atmospheric carbon (C) through organic matter stabilization, constituting one of the largest C-reservoirs. The management of soil organic matter (SOM) seems highly relevant for maintaining or improving soil function in Mediterranean agricultural areas. Mediterranean soils face several threats that increase soil susceptibility to degradation processes, hampering soil ecosystem services. Under the framework of the European Green Deal, and the need to promote circular economy, the use of sewage sludge (SS) as a fertilizer seems a good solution. When properly managed, it can be a way to prevent environmental pollution, recycle nutrients, and decrease the need for commercial fertilizers. Long-term experiments (LTE) can provide valuable data for soil science. The main objective of this work is to make a holistic assessment to the state of the soil after 28 years of continuous fertilization with sewage sludge. To be resilient with future challenges on food security, soil needs to be addressed according to its importance on the planet wellbeing. The work carried out in this thesis provides a functional assessment of the continuous use of sewage sludge as an organic fertilizer in agricultural land in the region of Navarra. It is important to consider the multiple soil functions and de-centralize crop-production from health indicators. Soils are not good and not bad, management yes. The results provided by this thesis highlight the importance of a healthy management of the soil and the bias provided by small-set of indicators. Agricultural soils provide important services that should be valued, not only those related to food production, but also to other key functions such as the control of soil degradation and vulnerability or climate regulation. The scientific community must coordinate and collaborate with politicians, policy makers, and stakeholders to explore these services, and to guide a transition to sustainable agriculture to address the challenges of the future.

El cine de masas como ensoñación en Walter Benjamin: posibilidades del despertar a partir del montaje literario de Manuel Puig
Authors: Aragoita Nicolás
Published: July 2023

En este artículo nos proponemos pensar de qué manera la reproductibilidad técnica puede favorecer una respuesta activa del espectador a partir de un producto de la industria cultural que, en principio, pretende duplicar la ilusión de la realidad a través de tópicos reaccionarios tal como durante el siglo XIX lo hacían los pasajes de París. Para ello, nos centraremos en el caso paradigmático del arte post-aurático por excelencia, el cine, y las posibilidades que el montaje ofrece en el extrañamiento del contenido a partir de la subversión formal. Esto nos permitirá analizar los elementos en tensión que manifiestan algunas obras de Puig: los materiales de consumo popular, la estética kitsch y los estereotipos reaccionarios que generan un mundo de ensueño en torno a los lectores y personajes de sus novelas; sin embargo, las subversiones formales de los modelos cinematográficos (incluso los más regresivos) generan la posibilidad de extrañar las representaciones de situaciones e identidades; tales como la idealización del aura artificial de las estrellas, los comportamientos pertinentes a un determinado estatus social, el amor romántico y los roles de género.

Three Routes to Autocratic Rule: Market Reforms, Politics, and Masculinist Performance in the Making of Right-Wing Regimes
Authors: Tuğal Cihan
Published: July 2023

How do the economy, right-wing legacies, and personal style shape today’sautocracies? Analysts have commented that especially three contemporary autocrats—Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Narendra Modi, and Rodrigo Duterte—have similar styles, motivations, or bases of support. Yet, this paper will show that the paths that took them to their thrones are quite distinct. Neoliberalization had disorganized society in Turkey, India, and the Philippines. The rule of “strongmen,” in response, showed the way out of this disorganization. The main divergence, however, is that Erdoğanism introduced statism and mass organization as against the disorganizing thrust of neoliberalization. Modi parallels Erdoğan in the civic paramilitary aspects of rule, but not in statism. Other than a weak infrastructure thrust, Duterte did not make the economy into a central issue in the way Erdoğan and Modi did. Moreover, he did not deploy civic activism at all. These three routes have thoroughly shaped and differentiated the autocrats’ styles too, even though all involve a heavy resort to masculinity. Coming from a thick tradition of mass politics and moving in a state-capitalist direction, Erdoğan’s performance incorporates women’s civic mobilization and heavily emphasizes fertility and productivity. Shorn of such anchors and bedeviled by a fragmented polity, Duterte’s rule sexualizes violence rather than production. Modi’s celibate masculinity is similar to Erdoğan’s in its dramatization of size and production but downplays reproduction, except for deepening the ethnic divide his party relies on. These differences have culminated in hegemonic autocracy in Turkey, ethnic autocracy in India, and oligarchic autocracy in the Philippines.
The Other Japan: Back to Japan’s Religious Roots for a New Japanese Nationalism?
Authors: Skya Walter A.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of this article is first to elucidate the nature and worldview of theideology of pre–World War II Japan that inspired the Japanese elite to embark on global conquest and that mobilized the Japanese masses to fight to the death even after the dropping of the atomic bombs. Second, the aim is to examine how this ideology first emerged in the Meiji period and how it came to dominate Japanese politics until the end of the war. Third, it will illustrate not only what has survived of this form of ultranationalism in the postwar period, identifying the ideas of core thinkers and organizations, but it will also examine the emergence of different, or perhaps more moderate, forms of Japanese nationalism, pinpointing their key ideas and describing their visions for a future Japan. Finally, I will attempt to shed light on the historical forces and scenarios that might return Japanese ultranationalists to the center of political influence and power in the Japanese state and overturn Japan’s postwar pacifist constitution and noninterventionist military foreign policy.
