Produção de conhecimento sobre Accountability na educação básica, secundária e educação média na Colômbia
Authors: Díaz Ballén José Emilio , Posada Escobar Jorge Jairo
Published: April 2023

Este artigo apresenta um avanço da pesquisa de revisão de literatura sobre políticas de responsabilização escolar em nível internacional e em particular no sistema de avaliação nacional da Colômbia em um período entre 2010 e 2020. A pesquisa foi orientada pela pergunta: Quais são as concepções, os referentes, os tipos, as consequências, as oposições e resistências em relação às políticas de responsabilização escolar nos níveis de ensino fundamental, médio e médio na Colômbia na segunda década do Século XXI? A análise de conteúdo foi assumida como metodologia do estudo, sendo revisados ​​artigos de resultados de pesquisas em periódicos nacionais e internacionais. No caso da Colômbia, foram selecionadas pesquisas em nível de graduação e pós-graduação e artigos de pesquisa localizados nos repositórios institucionais da universidade. Também foram consultados documentos oficiais de Organizações Internacionais e entidades estatais associadas à educação na Colômbia. Os primeiros achados para a Colômbia, -apesar da escassa pesquisa-, mostram, por um lado, que a compreensão da accountability está ligada à ideia de responsabilidade social e educacional, e, por outro, à legitimação de dois tipos de accountability, o performativo e o burocrático. As características desta política que têm resultado em consequências para a compreensão e prática da avaliação escolar em que a avaliação predomina como medida e como tecnologia de governança em alinhamento com as políticas dos Organismos Internacionais.

Culturo-Behavioral Functional Analysis: Guidelines for including cultural phenomena in the behavior analytic clinical setting
Authors: Neves Ana Bárbara , Cihon Traci
Published: April 2023

Functional assessment is a tool used by behavior analysts to formulate cases and therapeutic interventions, and is based on the functional analysis method, which consists of identifying contingent relationships between environmental variables and individual’s responses. One criticism of a clinical psychology is emphasizing the client’s life history to the detriment of cultural contexts. Culturo Behavior Science (CBS) is a new specialization/concentration in Behavior Analysis providing a framework to investigate cultural phenomena and important social issues. The purpose of this study was to analyze, theoretically and philosophically, notions underlying functional analysis and to propose guidelines for including cultural and systemic phenomena in clinical functional assessments. Conceptual-theoretical research was conducted using the Conceptual Interpretation of Text Procedure (Procedimento de Interpretação Cconceitual de Texto; PICT). Results suggest that the selection by consequences model is consistent with including CBS elements in clinical functional analyses and may also have promising contributions to verbal behavior. Then, applications of CBS concepts (product and interlocked behavioral contingencies) are analyzed. Next, guidelines to culturo-behavioral functional analysis are described. Finally, limitations to current analyses and proposed guidelines are discussed along with possibilities for further dialogue and potential models incorporating systemic and cultural phenomena in the functional analyses conducted by behavioral-analytic therapists.

Authors: Furini Larissa Gross , Henzel Gabriela Alsina , Müller Sara Adaís Ávila Silva , Passos Jonatas Argemi Foster
Published: April 2023

As pesquisas em psicologia têm se mostrado limitadas quanto ao público que representam em relação aos pesquisadores e aos pesquisados, o que pode produzir problemáticas consequências no trabalho com indivíduos e grupos multiculturais. Este trabalho teve como objetivo revisar na literatura possíveis interfaces do trabalho clínico voltado para populações multiculturais, principalmente no que diz respeito a grupos historicamente oprimidos, e propor uma ampliação do olhar do terapeuta no contexto das Terapias Comportamentais Contextuais, especificamente a Psicoterapia Analítica Funcional (FAP) por sua característica interpessoal que leva em conta tanto o comportar-se de clientes quanto do próprio terapeuta. Para tanto é realizada uma análise do conceito de lugar de fala da díade terapêutica, levando em consideração o modelo de competência cultural ADDRESSING, o qual apresenta dimensões associadas a identidades culturais específicas interseccionais relevantes para o trabalho com a multiculturalidade. O trabalho apresenta uma proposta de um novo olhar para uma formulação de caso, para que se possa levar em conta as diferentes culturas nas quais os clientes e terapeutas estão inseridos e, fundamentalmente, melhorar o atendimento em saúde mental de populações historicamente oprimidas.
Systematic One Health Approach for Control of Avian Influenza in Kerala
Authors:   Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Pookode, Waynad, Mithun T. K.
Published: April 2023

Avian influenza outbreak has become an annual event in Kerala, especially at Alappuzha district, from last decade. Enough vulnerable birds and favourable factors are present for the avian influenza viruses to cycle in Kerala. Geographical location and the presence of migratory birds are suspected to be a major factor contributing to frequent avian influenza outbreaks in this region. Other factors suspecting to contribute to the outbreak are unorganized poultry production and marketing sectors and delay of timely preparedness and coordinated efforts among stakeholders. Some states face a lack of structured surveillance, insufficient laboratory capacity in handling the HPAI (high pathogenic avian Influenza) virus, lack of public outreach on risk communication that leads to specific constraints that add to the occurrence of HPAI and delay in control. The realistic goal for eliminating avian influenza outbreak based on Kerala experience is suggested in this study. In Kerala, control measures were achieved through early detection of viruses through thorough surveillance and monitoring, integrating and transforming poultry production in a more scientific manner, emphasizing biosecurity measures and establishing one health team and coordinating the efforts among all the stakeholders.
Construcción y reingeniería de la "buena gobernanza" en Chile
Authors: Orihuela José Carlos
Published: April 2023

¿Cómo y por qué logró Chile escapar a la maldición de la abundancia de minerales?, ¿ha logrado acaso realmente escapar? El caso chileno no encaja completamente en la narrativa tradicional de la maldición de los recursos. Este capítulo busca responder por qué, analizando la construcción del aparato estatal moderno y evidenciando cómo la evolución institucional del Estado ha jugado un rol crucial en el camino chileno hacia el desarrollo basado en recursos. Al discutir el desarrollo económico y político bajo un enfoque evolutivo, el uso del término «maldición de los recursos» es puramente metafórico: la intención no es afirmar que las condiciones determinen los resultados. Sin embargo, sí se considera que las condiciones estructurales pueden generar patrones y establecer equilibrios.
Los retos del desarrollo basado en minería en el Perú
Authors: Thorp Rosemary
Published: April 2023

Estudiar el Perú nos permite entender mejor la manera en que la historia moldea las características políticas e institucionales a lo largo del tiempo. Estos procesos son el producto de las dinámicas de interacción entre diversos factores económicos, políticos, geográficos y sociales, todo bajo la presencia de las industrias extractivas. Las explicaciones monocausales rara vez son válidas y este caso no es la excepción a esa tendencia. Pero, a pesar de eso, hemos descubierto que la presencia de riquezas extractivas sí genera un impacto relevante, lo que consideramos es el corazón de la supuesta maldición de los recursos. Como se discutió en el primer capítulo y a diferencia de lo que dice la mitología, estas supuestas maldiciones en realidad no son inevitables, sino que están sujetas al contexto, el legado histórico y el momento en que suceden (timing), pero sobre todo, a la agencia humana.
El mar y el Estado peruano en los primeros años republicanos
Authors: Gálvez M. José Francisco
Published: April 2023

En sus escritos, Félix Denegrí no solo percibió al mar como recurso hídrico sino también como el medio gue proporcionó a las diferentes estrategias, antes y después de la independencia, el teatro de operaciones que determinaría el poderío. En América del Sur, el Callao había representado el eje del gran potencial naval del Pacífico; y con él, del Tribunal del Consulado, así como de los armadores limeños que estaban pendientes del comercio entre esta parte del continente y América del Norte. El mar fue el escenario de la lucha entre patriotas y realistas y permitió, junto con otros elementos, la independencia de Lima y de otras regiones del país. Denegrí fue claro en mencionar gue siendo tan importante motivar la conciencia de seguridad naval en el país, ésta -salvo contadas excepciones- pasó desapercibida a lo largo del siglo XIX.

La paz era su sueño. En sus frecuentes viajes a Quito Félix Denegri se reunía con amigos, visitaba archivos, dialogaba con intelectuales y políticos para hablar con alucinada obsesión de lo mismo. En su terca ilusión convenció a un grupo de ecuatorianos notables para inventar motivos nuevos para la misma causa. Dos reuniones, una en Salinas, provincia de Manabí, en la costa occidental del Ecuador, y otra en Cañete, al sur de Lima, mirando ambas al inmenso océano que lleva sobre la piel de sus aguas el sugestivo nombre de Pacífico, concluyeron en crear una Asociación Ecuatoriano-Peruana de Investigaciones Sociales, cuyo propósito fuera abrir espacios de mutua confianza desde la comunidad científica y hacer en buena cuenta una relectura de la historia común de ambos países después del inútil conflicto del Cenepa.
Un quiteño ilustrado : el primer conde de Casa Jijón

En noviembre de 1789 el doctor Eugenio Espejo pronunció en Bogotá su famoso Discurso sobre la erección de la Esmela de la Concordia ante un selecto auditorio en el que se hallaban no pocos de los que después serían los líderes del movimiento libertario en lo que hoy es Colombia. Entre los presentes se hallaba también don Juan Pío Montúfar, marqués de Selva Alegre, «joven más ilustre por sus virtudes patrióticas que por el esplendor de su cuna», según decir del propio Espejo. Montúfar costeó poco después Ja publicación de este discurso en Bogotá, aunque por desgracia no ha llegado hasta nosotros ninguna muestra de aquella publicación, un ejemplar de la cual consta registrada en la biblioteca de Nariño, requisada cuando se apresó al precursor colombiano.

Mariano E. de Rivero, Nicolás de Piérola y el primer periódico científico del Perú
Authors: Málaga Nuñez Zevallos Alejandro
Published: April 2023

Las primeras manifestaciones de periodismo en .el Perú se remontan a la época colonial, cuando hacen su aparición los impresos denominados relaciones, noticiarios y gacetas oficiales, caracterizados por su diversidad de formatos, irregular aparición y circulación sometida a autorización real. Sin embargo, también vieron la luz los pasquines, panfletos anónimos o con algún seudónimo, clavados en las puertas de las iglesias o los edificios de funcionarios de la corona, en los cuales la población manifestaba su descontento o lealtad al régimen. Ambos tipos de documentos contienen una formidable y variada cantidad de valiosa información histórica e indispensable para la construcción de nuestro pasado. Porras Barrenechea los calificaba como impresos de curiosidades, más que propiamente periódicos, y añadía que la verdadera fusión entre el periodismo de discusión y polémica y el periodismo informativo se realizó al iniciarse la vida independiente del Perú (Porras Barrenechea 1955: 307).
El liberalismo peruano después de Ramón Castilla. Ideario y política de Manuel Pardo
Authors: Mücke Ulrich
Published: April 2023

En la historia peruana son pocas las personas que han reunido las calidades intelectuales y el éxito político de Manuel Pardo. Claro que ha habido intelectuales y políticos que en un campo u otro han tenido más influencia que Pardo. Pardo como intelectual no ha tenido la importancia de Manuel González Prada, José Carlos Mariátegui o Raúl Haya de la Torre. Pero a diferencia de los tres, Pardo llegó a ser Presidente del Perú y a fundar un partido político que gobernó mucho más que los cinco años del APRA, ni hablar de los partidos fundados por Prada o Mariátegui de los cuales hoy día solo se recuerdan algunos historiadores y politólogos.

GOOD CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: ISLAMIC SOCIAL REPORTING AND ZAKAH DISCLOSURES AS MEDIATING
Authors: Wahyuni Nanik , Wafiroh Novi Lailiyul
Published: April 2023

This study examines the effect of good corporate governance (GCG) disclosure on financial performance proxied by Return on Assets. In addition, this study also aims to examine the mediating role of Islamic social reporting (ISR) disclosure and zakat disclosure on the financial performance of Islamic commercial banks (BUS). As a BUS, there is a responsibility to comply with zakat disclosure, not just ISR disclosure as stipulated rules. The quantitative research method with the selected research sample is all BUS registered on the IDX from 2018 to 2021. Data is processed using AMOS, where test results show that GCG disclosure directly affects ISR and zakat disclosure. ISR disclosure affects financial performance. Zakat disclosure does not affect financial performance. Indirectly, GCG disclosure affects financial performance through ISR disclosure. However, GCG disclosure does not affect financial performance through zakat disclosure. The implications of the results of this study show that GCG disclosure has a significant impact on company management to comply with reporting and disclosing ISR and zakat. This disclosure effort is a way for the company to convey information that the company has obediently carried out the provisions set as a BUS and can provide positive signals to the public to increase trust and impact company profitability.

Authors: Prayogi Soni , Darminto Darminto
Published: April 2023

The main objective of this research is to fabricate double-layer hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) using a PECVD by varying the thickness of the active layer. To obtain the thickness of the double active layer, dilution of silane plasma is carried out by hydrogen, with a ratio of hydrogen and silane, R=H2/SiH4 varies, and the deposition time of the active layer, while the n-type and n-type extrinsic layers are fixed for each -each sample. Then on the sample, there is a metal coating on the back which acts as an electrical contact and light reflector. Additionally, each sample was examined or searched for with a sun simulator and sunlight for physical properties, such as thickness morphology, optical properties, such as bandgap, electrical properties, such as electrical conductivity, and I-V characterization of a-Si: H double active layer solar cells. Based on the I-V characterization of the a-Si: H double active layer solar cells that were found in this work, a satisfactory conversion efficiency (8.86%) was found, although the Field Factor of the active layer was still low. While the intrinsic photo response reached 105

Clinical Legal Education: Human Rights, and Arts and Crafts Cafés
Authors: Marshall Jill , Antoniou Nicola
Published: April 2023

This practice report provides an account of two outreach projects that enabled different community groups, members of staff at Royal Holloway, University of London, and students at Royal Holloway’s Legal Advice Centre, to discuss human rights in an accessible and relatable way, which empowered the delegates, and encouraged open dialogue.
At the first event, Royal Holloway and the Afghanistan and Central Asian Association collaborated to host an online Being Human café as part of the Being Human 2020: a Festival of Humanities programme organised and set up annually by the School of Advanced Study, University of London and funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the British Academy. The café “Afghan Women Small Spaces Café: Sewing Pathways to Human Rights” took place via Zoom. Meeting over Afghan tea and cake, participants - from the public, generally from the Afghan diaspora community and researchers - used mixed participatory methods including artwork, sewing and conversation to explore what everyday habits and material objects tell us about ourselves and each other. Working with these, and other culturally specific lived experiences, Marshall linked her research, on human rights law’s purpose of ensuring universal dignity, equality and rights, to French writer Georges Perec.
Following this style of Café, the authors created the Autism Legal Rights Café, in partnership with the Sycamore Trust U.K. At this second event, Marshall’s research on everyday spaces was developed into a short talk about law, everyday spaces, objects and being human at a focused arts and crafts workshop for young women with autism. Particularly during Covid-19 lockdown, it was explored how and why our objects took on a new meaning. This talk included an analysis of Species of Spaces where Perec traced what is truly daily, those everyday habits and material objects of which our lives consist, what goes without saying. Perec claims, although these do not seem to pose any problems, we need to ask what they may tell us about what is important in life, what makes it worth living.
A Study of Supervisor and Student Views on the Role of Clinical Legal Education in Developing Commercial Awareness
Authors: McConnell Siobhan
Published: April 2023

This article examines the role of clinical legal education in developing commercial awareness, a key employability skill. Using data collected from a mixed-methods research study involving a visual data collection tool (a diamond), this research contributes to understanding of whether, and how, clinical legal education develops law students’ commercial awareness. This study provides the first detailed empirical evidence of the importance of commercial awareness to those teaching and learning in clinic, the teaching activities that supervisors use and that students identify as developing commercial awareness, and the impact of those activities in a graduate recruitment context. This data is important because commercial awareness is required across a range of graduate sectors, including the legal profession, and law students have a variety of available career options. The results indicate that whilst students and supervisors deem commercial awareness very important, there are differences between the two groups in terms of their understanding of what it means, and the type of clinic activities identified as developing commercial awareness. The results suggest that there is a genuine, but yet not fully realised, opportunity for students to develop commercial awareness in clinic. As well as providing a unique insight into the role of clinical legal education in developing commercial awareness, the author makes recommendations for clinicians on how best to support students in developing their commercial awareness.

Harnessing NGO Internships for Student Learning: Project Report Submission to the Gaje Symposium 2021
Authors: Surya Anahita , Nupur Nupur
Published: April 2023

Non-Governmental Organisations (“NGOs”) are amongst the most important actors in the field of legal education. They offer to students what the classroom never can – an opportunity to contribute to addressing real life issues, while equally contextualising what they learn in the classroom. Yet, the role of NGOs in developing pedagogical innovations in clinical education is often overlooked. Similarly, there exists a discord between the internship model and the clinical legal education model. That is, while many NGOs offer internships, such internships rarely provide the level of cross learning expected from a clinical program. Instead, students are delegated clerical, sometimes meaningless work. A well-designed internship in coordination with university faculty provides an invaluable opportunity for students, NGOs and universities to share and co-construct knowledge. However, the potential of such an arrangement is rarely explored, at least in the Indian context.
With this as the point of departure, this report captures the experiences and learnings of Centre for Social Justice (“CSJ”) in promoting practice-oriented learning rooted in field realities through its internship program. While a broad overview of CSJ’s internship program is provided, the predominant focus is on the organisation’s work during the COVID-19 lockdown.
Malingered Mental Health: Legal Review and Clinical Challenges in English and Welsh Law
Authors: Beazley Peter , Emmett Charlotte
Published: April 2023

Malingering – the feigning of mental or physical health symptoms for external gain – is a significant problem for clinicians, the courts, and society. For clinicians working in mental health settings, it is a complex task to differentiate malingered presentations from genuine ones, with a range of potential legal and ethical questions facing the clinician who conducts this task. Yet, the malingering of mental health problems has a range of potential impacts. For the courts, malingering presents a significant threat to their basic function by acting as a significant impediment to truth. For society, malingering wastes clinical time, leaves the potential for injustice to occur in response to criminal acts, and has a significant financial burden in unwarranted civil payments. The focus of the present review is therefore to review the issue of malingering from a legal perspective, leading to a consideration of recommendations for a clinician faced with assessing a client suspected of malingering behaviour.
A Critical Assessment of the Black Lives Matter Movement in the United Kingdom
Authors: Hodgkinson Owen , Telford Luke , Treadwell James
Published: April 2023

The death of George Floyd in May 2020 in the United States of America (USA) generated protests across the world, fronted by the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The BLM movement cast the killing of Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin as emblematic of the criminal justice system’s (CJS) long history of racism. Whilst the core message that Black Lives Matter is indisputable, noble and a worthy rallying call, little scholarly attention has been given to the movement’s underlying philosophy and aims, particularly in relation to the CJS in Britain. This article explicates Britain’s BLM movement by considering four core themes – (a) critical race theory and British social science, (b) the policing of black people in Britain, (c) the omission of social class from the analyses of BLM scholars and activists in Britain and, (d) the aims of Britain’s BLM movement. It suggests that the BLM movement potentially offers a flawed understanding of racism within the CJS. The paper also critiques and problematizes BLM’s use of the terms ‘white privilege and ‘whiteness’. It closes with a critical discussion of the movement’s aims, including defunding and abolishing the police, suggesting that critical engagement with both CRT and BLM should form a core part of criminological debate.
Access to Justice software development, Participatory Action Research Methods and Researching the Lived Experiences of British Military Veterans
Authors: Olusanya Olaoluwa , Collier William George Andrew , Marshall Simon , Knapp Victoria , Baldwin Alex
Published: April 2023

Participatory action research (PAR) methods aim to position the people who are most affected by the issue being studied as equal partners in the research process through a cyclical process of data gathering, data analysis, planning and implementing action and evaluation and reflection. In doing so, it ensures that the research better reflects participants’ ideas, priorities, and needs, thereby enhancing its validity and relevance and the support for the findings and proposed changes. Furthermore, it generates immediately applicable results. In this paper, we reflect on our experiences of developing the UK’s first access to justice platform for veterans and their families through an ongoing PAR project that brought together armed forces veterans, representatives from veterans' service providers, and the Veterans Legal Link team members comprising of legal academics, lawyers, sociologists, computer software designers and graphic designers to collect, interpret, and apply community information to address issues related to the delivery of access to justice. We present findings from Stages 1 and 2 of our three-stage iterative research process which includes the following steps: Understanding and cross-checking the lived experience of the veteran community (Stage 1), developing and testing a prototype of the access to justice platform (Stage 2) and creating the final product and giving real users an opportunity to use the platform (Stage 3). Data collection and analysis from Stage 1 of the study informed the themes that underpinned Stage 2. Specifically, data was collected through the following methods: co-facilitated focus group discussions, a web survey that was codesigned with veteran community stakeholders and remote and digitally enabled ethnographic research methods. We include several reflections that may help legal practitioners and researchers interested in applying PAR within the area of access to justice and the field of legal research.
From Legislative Intent to Hospice Practice: Exploring the Genealogy of The Mental Capacity Act 2005
Authors: Redhead Caroline
Published: April 2023

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) regulates decision-making for people without capacity. Post-legislative scrutiny of the Act in 2014 by a House of Lords Select Committee concluded that the MCA was neither well understood nor working well in practice. The aim of the research discussed in this article was to consider how the Act’s principles are understood and interpreted in hospice practice, specifically considering the patient’s role in the decision-making process.

The research proceeded through four distinct, but linked, phases which, together, offered a ‘life story’ of the MCA from legislative intent to current hospice practice (in 2019). The research was informed by relational theory and legal consciousness theory and the methods described are underpinned by a narrative approach to analysis. Phase one was an innovative genealogical analysis of policy and legislative documents (n=24) influencing the ‘coming to be’ of the MCA. In phase two, a systematic review of Court of Protection judgments (n=63) ‘historicises’ the empirical research, which was the focus of phases three and four (group interviews and individual interviews, respectively). Staff from two participating hospices participated in two group interviews and six individual interviews (13 participants), providing empirical data. Template analysis was used in all four phases of the study, and adapted to facilitate a synthesis of the findings across the study as a whole.
Take (what they say) with a pinch of salt: Engaging in Empirical Research to Understand the Parameters of the ‘Quality’ in ‘Poor-Quality Defence Lawyering’
Authors: Beazley Ashlee
Published: April 2023

The criminal defence lawyer is an essential component to the equality of arms, due process, the enforcement of the prosecution’s burden of proof, and to the right to a fair trial. Despite this, little attention has yet to be paid to what the different qualities of legal defence assistance—whether adequate, effective, sufficient, etc.—actually amount to. This article presents the methodology and results from a comparative empirical legal study on the quality of criminal defence advocates in England & Wales and Belgium. The study presented, and the wider PhD research to which it forms a part, seeks to construct a theoretical framework by which poor-quality (insufficient) defence representation may be identified, understood, contextualised, addressed and remedied. To this end, the empirical research undertaken and outlined in the article which follows focuses on a particular source of information: the data acquired from semi-structured interviews held with defence practitioners about their (own) perceptions, opinions and experiences of the quality of defence representation.

The article discusses the extent to which lawyers are a reliable source of data and the usefulness of empirical research as a means by which legal theory may be developed, articulated and tested. If, for example, quality lawyering is to be defined in the hope of demarcating “sufficient” quality from “insufficient”, then it is both natural and necessary to involve the subjects of this research, the lawyers. A qualitative empirical study which utilises constructivist grounded theory and critical realism is, this article suggests, one means by which this delineation may be ascertained, one which also seeks to contextualise the data obtained whilst acknowledging the role and effect of the researcher in question.
Neural network to predict 23Na NMR spectra of Nan clusters
Authors: Kaneko Masanori , Suzaki Ayane , Muraoka Azusa , Gotoh Kazuma , Yamashita Koichi
Published: April 2023

In order to understand the charging and discharging processes of sodium-ion batteries, we are interested in the relationship between the size of sodium clusters inserted into the hard carbon anode and the solid-state 23Na NMR chemical shifts. In this study, we investigated the predictability of the size dependence of 23Na NMR shielding constants by SchNet, a deep learning model that uses the distance between Na atoms without graph connection information. The data set required for training the neural network was constructed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. This study shows that the neural network model, which only used structural data, achieved comparable accuracy in predicting the shielding constant to the Lasso model, which utilized gross orbital population predicted from DFT calculations. Moreover, by introducing a penalty term to the neural network's loss function, the neural network was able to reproduce the skewed distribution of the shielding constant without modifying its architecture.

A large amount of domestic waste is unfortunately not matched by proper management. Like leaf waste, there is also vegetable waste in traditional markets, which is disposed of in open dumping without further management. The overflow of garbage will certainly leave environmental disturbances and bad smells. Research on the processing of domestic solid waste using a composter is generally only carried out in one stage, so the results of cutting domestic waste from the composter are still rough. In addition, bacteria administration is usually done at the end, so it is less effective in terms of time and cost. This study aims to design compost production innovations that meet SNI standards. The research was conducted by comparing the two main raw materials for the compost, namely vegetables and leaves. Based on the research results, it was found that the compost produced was able to produce fertilizer with the nutrients N, C/P, P, K, and C/N following SNI 7763: 2018. Compost with the best results is compost with leaves as the main raw material.

Published: April 2023

Fractals offer the ability to generate fascinating geometric shapes with all sorts of unique characteristics (for instance, fractal geometry provides a basis for modelling infinite detail found in nature). While fractals are non-euclidean mathematical objects which possess an assortment of properties (e.g., attractivity and symmetry), they are also able to be scaled down, rotated, skewed and replicated in embedded contexts. Hence, many different types of fractals have come into limelight since their origin discovery. One particularly popular method for generating fractal geometry is using Julia sets. Julia sets provide a straightforward and innovative method for generating fractal geometry using an iterative computational modelling algorithm. In this paper, we present a method that combines Julia sets with dual-quaternion algebra. Dual-quaternions are an alluring principal with a whole range interesting mathematical possibilities. Extending fractal Julia sets to encompass dual-quaternions algebra provides us with a novel visualize solution. We explain the method of fractals using the dual-quaternions in combination with Julia sets. Our prototype implementation demonstrate an efficient methods for rendering fractal geometry using dual-quaternion Julia sets based upon an uncomplicated ray tracing algorithm. We show a number of different experimental isosurface examples to demonstrate the viability of our approach.
