The relationship between gender-responsive pedagogy and student learning is seldom investigated. This study, therefore, examined the influence of gender-responsive pedagogies on students’ academic performance in Tanzanian secondary schools. The study employed a mixed methods research approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena under investigation. A total of 249 participants engaged in surveys and interviews. The reliability of the instruments was assessed by using Cronbach’s Alpha. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression models were used in analysing quantitative data. The findings revealed that most secondary school teachers possessed an understanding of gender-responsive pedagogies, particularly in adopting gender-sensitive language and considering the distinct needs of both male and female students in their teaching practices. Several practices significantly and positively influence students’ academic performance. These include teaching reinforcement (β=0.176, P=0.001), giving sufficient time for shy students to answer questions (β=0.163, P=0.001), encouraging mixed-gender groups (β=0.036, P=0.205), and providing equal opportunities for students to be group leaders (β=0.084, P=0.001). The study recommends that awareness creation through pre-service and in-service teacher education would facilitate teachers to become more proficient in using gender-responsive pedagogies.

Published: March 2024

The purpose of the study is to determine how piracy poses security challenges in the Gulf of Guinea. Document analysis method was used to analyse literature related to piracy in the Gulf of Guinea. The theory employed is the securitization of pioneered by Barry Buzan, Ole Waever, and Jaap de Wilde (1990).  Also, a retrospective cohort design is used for the study. The findings of the study revealed that the domestication of the Code of Conduct and other legal frameworks will ensure that national laws align with international maritime laws and provide a legal basis for addressing maritime crimes, including piracy. The proffered recommendation is that the government should actively engage pirates and other stakeholders in dialogue and contribute significant resources to ameliorate the environmental and economic damage caused by the oil industry.
Efficiency Evaluation of Using Water-Fuel Emulsion as Fuel for Automobiles
Authors: Hiep Ha Nguyen  , Doan Cong Nguyen  , Thanh Le Nguyen
Published: March 2024

Road transport is the main consumer of petroleum fuel as well as a source of toxic substances. Therefore, reducing fuel consumption and emissions of harmful substances in road transport is one of the most important problems facing modern engine construction. One of the ways to solve this problem is through the use of mixed fuels, including water-fuel emulsions. Water-fuel emulsion is a promising alternative fuel that could fulfill such requests in that it can improve the combustion efficiency of internal combustion engines and reduce harmful exhaust emissions, especially nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Up to now, there have been many studies on water-fuel emulsions, especially on performance, emissions and micro-explosion phenomena. Using water-fuel emulsion as fuel for ships worldwide was studied and applied to the 80-ies of the last century, but using it for automobiles is still limited by the emulsion stability and economic difficulties to calibrate engine parameters for a new fuel. This article provides an overview of the mechanism and performance operating cycle of internal combustion engines using water-fuel emulsions and the efficiency, economy, and environmental friendliness of this fuel type for automobiles. Hence, conclusions are drawn about the possibility and effectiveness of using emulsions as fuel for automobiles, especially under conditions in Vietnam.

Dimensions of explanation
Authors: Hochstein Eric
Published: March 2024

Some argue that the term “explanation” in science is ambiguous, referring to at least three distinct concepts: a communicative concept, a representational concept, and an ontic concept. Each is defined in a different way with its own sets of norms and goals, and each of which can apply in contexts where the others do not. In this paper, I argue that such a view is false. Instead, I propose that a scientific explanation is a complex entity that can always be analyzed along a communicative dimension, a representational dimension, and an ontic dimension. But all three are always present within scientific explanations. I highlight what such an account looks like, and the potential problems it faces (namely that a single explanation can appear to have incompatible sets of norms and goals that govern it). I propose a solution to this problem and demonstrate how this account can help to dissolve current disputes in philosophy of science regarding debates between epistemic and ontic accounts of mechanistic explanations in the life sciences.
Ontic or epistemic conception of explanation: A misleading distinction?
Authors: Oleksowicz Michał
Published: March 2024

In this paper, I discuss the differences between ontic and epistemic conceptions of scientific explanation, mainly in relation to the so-called new mechanical philosophy. I emphasize that the debate on conceptions of scientific explanation owes much to Salmon’s ontic/epistemic distinction, although much has changed since his formulations. I focus on the interplay between ontic and epistemic norms and constraints in providing mechanistic explanations. My conceptual analysis serves two aims. Firstly, I formulate some suggestions for recognising that both sets of norms and constraints, ontic and epistemic, are necessary for scientific theorising. Secondly, I emphasize that there are multiple dimensions involved in scientific explanation, rather than clear-cut alternatives between ontic and epistemic aspects. I conclude with a general observation that although contextual aspects of explanations are unavoidable, the epistemic-relativity of our categories, explanations and models can in fact be compatible with their objectivity. Instead of making hastily drawn ontological implications from our theories or models, we should carefully scrutinize them from the ontic-epistemic perspective.

Investigating ecosystem resiliency in different flood zones of south Brooklyn, New York
Authors: Ng Veronia , Zheng Eileen , Estrella Michael , Parlo Risa
Published: March 2024

With climate change and rising sea levels, south Brooklyn is exposed to massive flooding and intense precipitation. Previous research discovered that flooding shifts plant species distribution, decreases soil pH, and increases salt concentration, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium levels. We predicted a decreasing trend from Zone 1 to 6: high-pH, high-salt, and high-nutrients in more flood-prone areas to low-pH, low-salt, and low-nutrient in less flood-prone regions. We performed DNA barcoding to identify plant species inhabiting flood zones with expectations of decreasing salt tolerance and moisture uptake by plants' soil from Zones 1-6. Furthermore, we predicted an increase in invasive species, ultimately resulting in a decrease in biodiversity. After barcoding, we researched existing information regarding invasiveness, ideal soil, pH tolerance, and salt tolerance. We performed soil analyses to identify pH, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) levels. For N and P levels, we discovered a general decreasing trend from Zone 1 to 6 with low and moderate statistical significance respectively. Previous studies found that soil moisture can increase N and P uptake, helping plants adopt efficient resource-use strategies and reduce water stress from flooding. Although characteristics of plants were distributed throughout all zones, demonstrating overall diversity, the soil analyses hinted at the possibility of a rising trend of plants adapting to the increase in flooding. Future expansive research is needed to comprehensively map these trends. Ultimately, investigating trends between flood zones and the prevalence of different species will assist in guiding solutions to weathering climate change and protecting biodiversity in Brooklyn.
Precision water management in pulses for enhanced resource-use-efficiency
Authors: CS Praharaj  , Narendra Kumar  , Ummed Singh  , CP Nath
Published: March 2024

Although greater efforts have been made to realize higher yields with desired quality from a number of high-yielding varieties of pulses with matching agro-technologies and proven tolerance to biotic/abiotic stresses, yet there has been a shortfall (though minimized to a greater extent now) in expected goals in production/productivity in these field crops. Therefore, there is a need for renewed and innovative approach for sustainable cropping intensification with pulses. In this context, water–a critical input for sustained crop production – is becoming limiting both under rainfed and irrigated conditions depending on its availability, competing factors, allocation to priority crops, and season of the year. It deserves all of us to use this precious commodity more judiciously, sensibly and need-based in agriculture through modern technology, especially in presence of diverse constraints. One of the approach for effective on-farm management of water is its precision use. One or two life-saving/supplementary irrigation through water-saving technologies (drip or sprinkler irrigation) during the post-rainy/ fall months or even under dryland condition could sustain productivity of crop. Some of the innovative agro-technologies could reinforce this by way of technology up-scaling and/or providing a sound footing for better water delivery/use. These include precision land levelling, no-till systems, furrow-irrigated raised bed planting, and crop diversification and its residue management. Thus, adaptive strategies for grain legumes or pulses will be highly location specific and offers an alternative for a quantum jump in its production with sustainable resource management and resource use efficiency (RUE). To conclude, strategic water management in pulses could play a significant role in their sustainable intensification/diversification of already scarce resource base in time to come (in the context of Sustainable Development Goals).
Nutritional profile of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L): Breeding efforts for enhancing nutritive value
Authors: V Jayalakshmi  , B Sriram Kumar
Published: March 2024

Chickpea is the dominant rabi pulse crop in India, accounting for 50% (13.5 mt) of the nation’s pulse production. This nutrient-dense and cost-effective legume provides a rich source of energy, protein, minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibre. Beyond its basic nutritional value, chickpea harbor a diverse array of non-nutritive phytochemicals, including oligosaccharides, saponins, tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids, and enzyme inhibitors, holding promising potential for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-obesity, anti cancer, prebiotic, and cholesterol-lowering effects. Recent advancements in genome sequencing have unlocked the chickpea’s complete genetic blueprint and empowered cutting-edge breeding methods like QTL analysis, GWAS, and genomic selection to effectively pinpoint and target beneficial genomic regions governing key nutritional traits. These findings help germplasm enhancement, nutritional enrichment and optimization of bioactive components to meet the food security of nations. This chapter reviews the current state of knowledge regarding chickpea’s nutritional profile, highlighting past breeding achievements and future prospects for enriching its nutritive value.

Published: March 2024

In the present study, 200 chickpea genotypes including accessions from the ICRISAT chickpea core collection, ICAR-IARI advanced breeding lines and varieties were screened against imazethapyr (an Acetolactate Synthase inhibiting broad-spectrum herbicide) to identify the source of resistance to the post-emergence herbicide. Wide genetic variations were observed among chickpea genotypes. A total of eight genotypes, viz. ICC 1710, ICC-14061, GL 14054, IPC 10-134, ICCX 130012-B-B-B-B-25, ICC17255, ICCX110067-B-B-B-B 76-B-B, and ICCX110066-B-B-B-B-59-B-B showed tolerance to imazethapyr; hence, they were considered promising. The application of imazethapyr significantly reduced plant height, and 100 seed weight and increased days to 50% flowering and maturity. Plant biomass under herbicide treatment increased most likely due to an increase in the number of secondary branches. Weed control efficiency was 78.58% when imazethapyr applied at 80 g a.i. per ha at 40 days after sowing. Among the tolerant genotypes, IPC 06-77 and ICC 14061 gave the most consistent positive performance for yield and yield attributes under herbicide treatment. The herbicide-tolerant lines identified can be useful resources for undertaking genetic and physiological studies on herbicide tolerance and for the development of herbicide-tolerant cultivars of chickpea.

Published: March 2024

In the present study, population structure and genetic diversity were studied among 100 faba bean germplasm lines along with three checks using 29 SSR (microsatellite) markers and morphological traits. ET218734, ET226572, and ET218734 genotypes exhibited maximum seed yield and high mean performance for various yield-attributing traits. The D2 statistics analysis grouped genotypes into five clusters. SSR marker analysis revealed, on average, 2 alleles per locus ranging from 2 to 3 among the studied genotypes. Polymorphic information content (PIC) for these markers ranged from 0.063 to 0.492 with an average of 0.37. Population structure analysis classified the studied genotypes into three major clusters. The Molecular Diversity Distance was found to be greatest among Cluster III and Cluster I (0.289), while the lowest was among Cluster II and Cluster I (0.148). The allele frequency divergence (expected heterozygosity) was found highest on Cluster II (0.164), and the lowest was on Cluster III (0.096).

Published: March 2024

A field experiment was carried out during the summer seasons of 2020 and 2021 at Jaguli Instructional Farm, BCKV, Nadia (West Bengal), in the Gangetic alluvial soil, to assess the effect of varieties and micronutrient foliar spray on growth parameters, yield components, yield and economics of mungbean. Results revealed that different varieties significantly promoted growth parameters and variety Meha was found to be superior. Growth parameters was significantly higher under molybdenum foliar spray over other micronutrients foliar spray. The maximum number of pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod and test weight were found in plants receiving sodium molybdenum foliar spray at 0.05%. Maximum seed yield and stover yield were also recorded in the same treatment where 0.05% sodium molybdenum spraying was done at pre flowering and pod development stage. Variety showed significant variation in pods per plant, pod length, seeds per pod and test weight and were maximum in variety Meha. Both seed and stover yield were highest in case of variety Meha over others. The gross returns, net returns and benefit: cost ratio were maximum in Meha variety with foliar application of sodium molybdenum. Hence, variety Meha with foliar spray of molybdenum could be more effective in augmenting mungbean growth, yield and economics in the Gangetic plains of West Bengal in the summer season.

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2019 at the Research Farm, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh) to evaluate the effect of phosphorus and sulphur levels on productivity and profitability of blackgram. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with four phosphorus levels viz., 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg P/ha, along with three sulphur levels, viz., 10, 20 and 30 kg S/ha, which were replicated thrice. Results revealed that among the P levels, the application of 60 kg P/ha recorded significantly higher number of pods/plant (25.9), number of seeds per pod (5.4), test weight (37.30 g), seed yield/plant (8.26 g), seed yield (1412 kg/ha), stover yield (3542 kg/ha), and biological yield (4954 kg/ha). While among the sulphur levels, application of 30 kg S/ha recorded significantly higher number of pods/plant (23.6), number of seeds/pod (5.1), test weight (36.33 g), seed yield/plant (7.84 g), seed yield (1255 kg/ha), Stover yield (3185 kg/ha), and biological yield (4441 kg/ha). Combined application of 60 kg P/ha and 30 kg S/ha produced significantly highest net returns and benefit-cost ratio. Thus, application of 60 kg P and 30 kg S/ha was found to be the more promising treatment for enhancing the yield in blackgram.

Published: March 2024

The weather parameters play a predominant role in determining the course and severity of insect pests and pathogens in different crops. Wilt and pod borer are the most devastating biotic stresses, causes huge losses from the vegetative stage until harvest. The present study was aimed to analyze the seasonal dynamics of wilt and pod borer incidence in relation to critical weather parameters in pigeonpea from the Bundelkhand region, a pulses basket of Uttar Pradesh. The fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum) and pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) incidence were found to be major biotic stresses in pigeonpea from 2017-18 to 2020-21. The wilt disease commenced at 48 MSW and the mean incidence ranged from 0.0 to 25.5 percent. The pod borer incidence started at 01 MSW, and the larval population ranged from 0.5 to 1.40 larvae/plant. Though the correlation between pest incidence and weather parameters was found to be non-significant. The wilt and pod borer incidence were positively correlated with Tmax (r= 0.35 and 0.33), Tmin (r= 0.39 and 0.37), rainfall (r= 0.43 and 0.41) and negatively correlated with relative humidity (r= -0.32 and -0.26). The regression analysis indicated variability in wilt and pod borer incidence due to temperature, humidity and rainfall. The information generated on the pest dynamics of wilt and pod borer in pigeonpea under the influence of weather parameters may be helpful in devising the forecasting models as well as the management practices well in advance so as to avoid yield losses.

A field experiment was conducted in split-plot design to study the performance of lathyrus varieties (Nirmal, Prateek and Ratan) under three different establishment methods (broadcasting, line-sowing and dibbling) at Regional Research Sub-Station, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Raghunathpur West Bengal during rabi season of 2020-21. Irrespective of varieties, lathyrus sown on line sowing and dibbling methods required 2.0 and 3.2 more days to complete life cycle over broadcast sowing. Though, broadcast sowing of lathyrus led to highest number of plants/m (34.2) at maturity stage compared to line sowing (26.8 plants/m) and dibbling (23.2 plants/m) method, but crop sown in line yielded highest (1401 kg/ha) with highest net return (INR. 21,745/ ha). Among three varieties, Ratan appeared suitable due to greater seed yield (1337 kg/ha), net return (INR. 19,723/ha) and B: C ratio (1.57) than Nirmal and Prateek in red and laterite zone of West Bengal.

Published: March 2024

The study was conducted on HC 3 variety of chickpea to optimize the seed rate for bold seeded varieties during rabi 2022-23. The results revealed that there was a decrease in plant stand establishment, days to flowering, and plant height as the seed rate is reduced from 120 kg to 72 kg/ha. However, the seed yield per plant increased when the seed rate is reduced. The highest seed yield of 2010 kg/ha was recorded in seed rate of 84 kg/ha, but it decreased to 1727 kg/ha in seed rate of 72 kg/ha. Graded seed yield was recorded as the highest with 84 kg/ha (1772 kg/ha) compared to 72 kg/ha (1541 kg/ha). In terms of economic returns, the net monetary return per hectare was highest with a seed rate of 84 kg/ha (Rs. 2,30,098/-) compared to 120 kg/ha (Rs. 1,70,010/-) with benefit-cost ratio 4.03 and 2.85, respectively. It is concluded from the study that optimal seed rate for achieving maximum seed yield and improved seed quality in bold-seeded variety of chickpea is 84 kg/ha.

Küreselleşmenin merkez ülkelerinde ortaya çıkan küreselleşme karşıtı hareketlerin hızla ivme kazanması ve politik etkide bulunacak bir konuma gelmesi, küreselleşme paradigması krizini daha da önemli hale getirmiştir. Özellikle ABD ve İngiltere gibi küreselleşmeci dış politika paradigmasının başat konumda olduğu ülkelerde söylemden eyleme geçen küreselleşme karşıtlığının milli kimlikle ilişkisi, dikkat çeken araştırma konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Ancak, literatür bu iki olgu arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklayacak metodolojik ve ampirik bir yaklaşımdan yoksundur. İki olgu arasındaki ilişkinin mahiyetini anlamak için kuram, yöntem ve kavram arasındaki insicamlı ve bütüncül bağı kurmak bu yoksunluğu gidermek için atılması gereken ilk adımlardan biridir. Küreselleşmeci ideolojinin tasavvur ettiği gibi küreselleşmeye aykırı olarak konumlandırılan milli kimliklerin yükselişinin krizdeki küreselleşme karşısındaki mevcut durumu ve yorumlanışı da önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada milli kimliğin küreselleşme paradigmasının yükselişi ve gerileyişi karşısındaki dönüşümünün ve mahiyetinin hem İnşacılık hem de yorumlamacı-niceliksel söylem analizi yöntemi ile birlikte ele alınması ve kavramsal boyutun bu yöntem ve kuram ile uyumlu bir perspektiflerden incelenmesi teklif edilmektedir. Sonuç olarak, küreselleşmeye yönelik olumlu ya da olumsuz sosyo-politik hareketler ve milli kimliklerin dönüşümü arasındaki etkileşim İnşacılığın kuramsal zemini üzerinde yükselen küreselleşme ve milli kimlik tanımları ile ve yorumlamacı-niceliksel söylem analizi yöntemi kullanılarak ortaya çıkarılan milli kimlik söylemleri ile kuram-yöntem-kavram bağlamında insicamlı ve bütüncül bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır.

Published: March 2024

La lectura, la escritura y la oralidad reciben mayor atención en la educación básica, pero esta se minimiza en la educación superior, aun cuando estas competencias juegan un papel importante en el aprendizaje académico y personal durante la formación profesional. Por ello, el objetivo del presente ensayo es reflexionar sobre la importancia de la lectura, escritura y oralidad en el nivel superior. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se revisó literatura disponible relacionada con el tema, derivada de una búsqueda intencional. Se encontró que los universitarios -debido a un déficit en la lectura, escritura y oralidad- presentan carencia de procesos cognitivos y falta de motivación al momento de hacer lectura académica, que puede deberse a insuficientes criterios específicos para evaluar estas competencias, así como escasos espacios al interior de las instituciones educativas para potenciar/disfrutar la lectura. Todo lo anterior vinculándose con una menor comunicación efectiva, incluso, más alla de lo académico. De este ensayo surge la siguiente reflexión, aun cuando existen investigaciones dirigidas al estudio de estas competencias en el nivel superior, hace falta mayor atención y profundización en su evaluación, pero, en mayor medida en su intervención, por las ventajas que puede representar también en este nivel para el binomio docente-estudiante.

Published: March 2024

Background

Previous work has demonstrated that with increasing knee flexion angles, the popliteal artery is located further away from the posterior tibial cortex (PTC), thus offering a safer position for procedures about the knee. Prior studies did not, however, incorporate the use of a surgical thigh tourniquet, a device commonly used by orthopaedic surgeons. Thigh tourniquet effect on popliteal spatial anatomy will be assessed in this study.

Methods

Using 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging, 6 volunteer knees were evaluated in both full extension and 90 degrees (°) of flexion, with and without a thigh tourniquet inflated to 200 millimeters of mercury. Axial images at the level of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial insertion were obtained. The distance of the popliteal artery from the PCL tibial insertion and the PTC at this level were calculated.

Results

Without a tourniquet, at 0° and 90° of flexion, the mean distance between the popliteal artery and the PTC was 6.9 and 9.4 millimeters, respectively. With a tourniquet, at 0° and 90° the mean distance between the popliteal artery and the PTC decreased to 6.2 (-0.7) and 8 (-1.4) millimeters, respectively. These reductions in distances with inflating the tourniquet were statistically significant (p<0.05). The distance between the artery and the PCL attachment did not change with and without inflating the tourniquet.

Conclusions

Inflating a thigh tourniquet moves the popliteal artery approximately 1 millimeter (8.5 percent) anterior towards the PTC and has no effect on the relationship between the popliteal artery and PCL insertion.

Program ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran penting Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran (TPQ) dalam mengenalkan dan menanamkan nilai-nilai Al-Quran pada anak-anak usia sekolah dasar sejak usia dini. Metode pengajaran yang digunakan di TPQ mencakup pengajaran alfabet Arab, membaca, menulis, hafalan Al-Quran, serta prinsip-prinsip dasar Islam. Meskipun demikian, ditemukan beberapa permasalahan, termasuk rendahnya minat anak-anak dalam pembelajaran tajwid. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor yang mungkin menyebabkan hal ini, seperti kesulitan teknis dan kurangnya motivasi dalam mempelajari aturan-aturan tajwid. Dalam usaha mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, pendekatan pembelajaran yang lebih interaktif dan menarik diusulkan. Penggunaan permainan edukatif, cerita, atau aplikasi digital dapat memudahkan pemahaman tajwid secara praktis dan menyenangkan. Dalam konteks ini, dukungan dari orang tua dan pengajar juga penting untuk mendorong partisipasi anak-anak dalam pembelajaran tajwid. Dengan adanya upaya ini, diharapkan anak-anak akan lebih aktif dalam memahami dan mengaplikasikan prinsip-prinsip tajwid, sehingga pembacaan Al-Quran mereka dapat dilakukan dengan lebih baik dan akurat.
This program aims to analyze the crucial role of Quranic Education Gardens (TPQ) in introducing and instilling the values of the Quran in elementary school-aged children from an early age. The teaching methods employed at TPQ encompass Arabic alphabet instruction, reading, writing, Quranic memorization, and fundamental Islamic principles. Nonetheless, certain issues have emerged, including the low interest of children in learning tajwid (Quranic recitation rules). This study identifies potential factors contributing to this situation, such as technical difficulties and a lack of motivation when it comes to mastering tajwid rules. In an effort to address these challenges, an interactive and engaging teaching approach is suggested. The utilization of educational games, stories, or digital applications can facilitate a practical and enjoyable comprehension of tajwid. In this context, the support of parents and educators is deemed crucial to encourage children's active participation in tajwid education. Through these efforts, it is expected that children will become more actively engaged in understanding and applying tajwid principles, ultimately enhancing the quality and accuracy of their Quranic recitation.

Understanding disputing styles is very important for solving a problem. The purpose of this research is to examine descriptively the problems in the Kasinan protected forest and to identify the conflicting styles of each party so that an appropriate resolution of the problems can be developed. This research was conducted in the protected forest of Kasinan, precisely in Pesanggrahan Village, Batu City. Data collection was carried out qualitatively, namely through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis used adapts the Disputing Style Analysis (AGATA). The results of the research show that the problems in the Kasinan protected forest stem from the use of the forest for tourism by relying on water sources from the Kasinan protected forest. The impact was a decrease in the discharge of water flowing into the rice fields and residents' homes, resulting in protests from residents. Actors involved in the problem include residents of Pesanggrahan village, HIPPA-HIPPAM, Pesanggrahan Village Government, Sadar Alas community, Perhutani KPH Malang, BKPH Pujon, and Walhi. Each party has various problems, including environmental beauty, reducing water discharge, and tourism interests. Communities are the most disadvantaged because they feel the impact directly. Each side has a different style of conflict. However, especially for residents of the Sadar Alas community, they have a competitive dispute style. So, in an accommodation style, the village government formed a team of Kasinan Forest Utilization Problem Resolution Facilities and held meetings including villagers, HIPPA-HIPPAM, Alas Awareness Community, Perhutani, and the Mayor of Batu City to negotiate and facilitate the proposal for zoning based on local policies so that the environment is beautiful. and the tour continues. So support from parties who have full authority, such as the Mayor of Batu City, is needed in order to realize a resolution to the conflict.
