This paper attempts to highlight the psychological health benefits of yoga and also intends to analyse the various poses, postures included in yoga exercises that are helpful in managing different levels of stress in the people of all age groups.
Assessment of Fluoride in Groundwater and Surface Water in Gorakhpur District, Uttar Pradesh, India
Authors: Saxena Aseem
Published: July 2021

Fluorine is the most electronegative and most reactive halogen. Fluorine is 13th most common element on earth crust found in the form of fluoride. Concentration of fluoride below 1 mg/l are believed beneficial in the prevention of dental carries or tooth decay, but above 1.5mg/l, it increases the severity of the deadly diseases fluorosis, which is incurable in India. The whole study was conducted in Gorakhpur region to know about the concentration of fluoride, mainly in rural areas of the district. We have collected 64 drinking water samples from 9 blocks of the district in which we took 6 number of ground water samples from each block so total 54 number of samples were collected from the groundwater source and 8 number of samples were taken from surface water source. Out of 54 ground water samples, 36 numbers of samples were taken from India Mark-II hand pumps and rest 18 number of samples were taken from shallow depth hand pumps and tested to determine the concentration of fluoride. From our assessment we came to know that in this region the concentration of fluoride in groundwater ranges between 0.004 to 1.42mg/l, minimum value is found in the surface water source and the maximum value is found from the ground water source.The samples collected from both ground water and as well as surface water were taken from potable sources i.e. they are used for drinking purposes in daily routine. After the testing and analyzing the samples it is come to know that surface water has quite lower levels fluoride compare to ground water. The conclusion of this work is to give information about the concentration of fluoride in groundwater and surface water of the district.
Evaluation of Stress Intensity Factor of Cracked Plates
Authors: C Reshma
Published: July 2021

Structures are subjected to undesirable changes in their structural properties mainly due to errors in design and construction, heavy loads, fatigue or other degradation. Plate structures are highly sensitive to the formation of cracks and its growth which adversely affects its performance. Notches, induced or self occurring defects, holes acts as stress concentration zone which initiates the crack formation. Knowledge about the severity of cracks is important to predict the component’s life. According to linear elastic fracture mechanics, a key parameter in determining the crack severity is stress intensity factor. Years ago , high factor of safety was chosen to account for unforeseen factors. Development of fracture mechanics enables a designer to use a lower factor of safety, thereby reducing structural components cost. The components weight is also reduced and their reliability is thus enhanced. In this work, experimental and analytical determination of combination of stress intensity factors for rectangular plates with inclined through crack subjected to uniaxial load at failure is found out.

Published: July 2021

Maximal aerobic capacity (VO2  max) is one of the important factors that influence swimming performance. Currently, the Garmin Forerunner Fitness Watch 935 used to measure VO2  max are expensive, require skilled-trained personnel, not feasible for large-scale use, and land-based, which will not be accurate in measuring water-based activity. In order to measure the swimming performance, there is a need for an affordable, feasible, and reliable device. Therefore, the current study aimed to examine the intra- rater reliability of Garmin Forerunner Fitness Watch 935 accuracy in measuring the VO2  max among collegiate swimmers during the 200m swimming task. The VO2  max measurement of 10 collegiate swimmers was taken with Garmin Forerunner for two trials. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurements (SEMs), and Bland-Altman plot was used in the current study to establish  the inter-rater  reliability measurement. The intra-rater  reliability  of Garmin  Forerunner  showed high  reliability and accuracy with an intra-class correlation coefficient (2,1) of 0.869 and standard error of measurements of 0.231 ml/kg/min. Further, the results were strengthened with Bland-Altman plot showed an acceptable agreement between the two trials. The Garmin Forerunner would be a simple, objective and useful device to be used by physiotherapists, trainers and other sports-related disciplines to assess and improve the swimming performance by targeting the heart rate and VO2 max.

Cold regions provide water resources for half the global population yet
face rapid change. Their hydrology is dominated by snow, ice and frozen
soils, and climate warming is having profound effects. Hydrological
models have a key role in predicting changing water resources, but are
challenged in cold regions. Ground-based data to quantify meteorological
forcing and constrain model parameterization are limited, while
hydrological processes are complex, often controlled by phase change
energetics. River flows are impacted by poorly quantified human
activities. This paper reports scientific developments over the past
decade of MESH, the Canadian community hydrological land surface scheme.
New cold region process representation includes improved blowing snow
transport and sublimation, lateral land-surface flow, prairie pothole
storage dynamics, frozen ground infiltration and thermodynamics, and
improved glacier modelling. New algorithms to represent water management
include multi-stage reservoir operation. Parameterization has been
supported by field observations and remotely sensed data; new methods
for parameter identification have been used to evaluate model
uncertainty and support regionalization. Additionally, MESH has been
linked to broader decision-support frameworks, including river ice
simulation and hydrological forecasting. The paper also reports various
applications to the Saskatchewan and Mackenzie River basins in western
Canada (0.4 and 1.8 million km). These basins arise
in glaciated mountain headwaters, are partly underlain by permafrost,
and include remote and incompletely understood forested, wetland,
agricultural and tundra ecoregions. This imposes extraordinary
challenges to prediction, including the need to overcoming biases in
forcing data sets, which can have disproportionate effects on the
simulated hydrology.

Published: July 2021

Objective The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the gender
breakdown of first authorship contributing to the most cited papers in
the field of otolaryngology, with a goal towards identifying trends in
gender representation in publishing. Methods The top fifty most-cited
papers were identified using Science Citation Index of the Institute for
Scientific Information. Institution, journal, date of publication,
research nature, and subspecialty were extracted for each article. Among
the first authors, gender, h-index, percentage of first, last, and
corresponding authorship positions, total publications, and citations
were analyzed. Results The majority of papers were in the English
language, from the United States, of clinical nature, and on otologic
topics. Eighty-four percent of papers had men who were first authors
although there was no difference in h-index score, authorship position,
and number of publications between men and women first authors. Women
first authors had significantly more citations (p = 0.02) and average
citations/year (p= 0.04) compared to their colleagues. There was no
difference in the number of articles with women first authors (p = 0.17)
or the total percentage of women authors (p = 0.44) in papers published
earlier compared to those published later. Conclusion While a promising
number of women otolaryngologists are publishing high-powered articles,
future initiatives to promote academic productivity and inclusivity
should be considered.
Small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix envelopes secure cardiovascular implantable devices and promote healthy tissue remodeling
Authors: Deegan Daniel , Riebman Jerome
Published: July 2021

Introduction: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) induce a
foreign body reaction and persistent inflammatory response that produces
a fibrotic capsule around the implanted material. The study’s aim was to
investigate the ability of small intestinal submucosa (SIS)
extracellular matrix (ECM) envelopes to mitigate fibrotic tissue
formation and secure devices within healthy, vascularized tissue.
Methods: Clinically relevant pacemakers without leads were
subcutaneously implanted in a pre-clinical rabbit model. Eleven CIEDs
were placed in CanGaroo ECM Envelopes, while ten devices were implanted
without envelopes and analyzed at 13 and 26 weeks. The subcutaneous
pocket and newly formed connective tissue adjacent to the CIED were
evaluated by an independent, blinded pathologist for the local tissue
response and constructive remodeling. CIED movement in the pocket was
also documented as implant sites were prone to abrasion due to normal
rabbit behavior. Results: CanGaroo Envelopes surrounding the CIEDs
remodeled into native tissue with normally organized collagen. The
tissue had a lower average thickness at 13 and 26 weeks compared to
tissue encapsulating CIEDs without envelopes. The tissue also scored
significantly higher in neovascularization versus capsule tissue
surrounding CIEDs without envelopes at 26 weeks. Use of the ECM envelope
reduced the incidence of device flipping within the pocket by 40%
compared to CIEDs without envelopes, showing the ability of CanGaroo
Envelopes to secure CIEDs in place. Conclusions: CanGaroo ECM Envelopes
remodeled into native, vascularized tissue surrounding clinically
applicable CIEDs. This thinner, healthy tissue pocket secured CIEDs and
significantly improved stabilization versus devices without envelopes
over 26 weeks.

Published: July 2021

El proyecto se desarrolló en el municipio de Tuta, Departamento de Boyacá, Colombia. Se seleccionaron diez fincas y se entregó a cada propietario entre 168 a 490 árboles de Sambucus peruviana para que fueran usados como cercas vivas o banco forrajero. Las plantas se propagaron en vivero por medio de estacones, durante 90 días, posteriormente fueron transportadas a cada finca seleccionada, para proceder con la respectiva siembra, la cual se realizó en época de lluvias, para dicha actividad se cavaron huecos de 30 cm de diámetro con 40 cm de profundidad; en algunos predios se sembraron como banco forrajero y en otras fincas como cerca viva. Una vez sembrados los árboles se tomaron medidas de altura, observando los la mortalidad y la supervivencia en cada una de las fincas durante los primeros 60 días de siembra, y se continuó la evaluación y seguimiento de la altura de los árboles a los 60 y 120 días. Durante seis meses, simultáneamente se capacitó a los productores pecuarios de la región, donde se explicó la importancia los sistemas silvopastoriles, estas capacitaciones favorecieron el interés de los productores por establecer la especie en la región, puesto que se observaron los mejores resultados en términos de supervivencia y crecimiento en los predios donde los productores cumplieron con las instrucciones impartidas. Además, los sistemas establecidos han servido de modelo para que otros productores inicien el proceso de adopción. Las condiciones climatológicas y el consumo del árbol por los animales, debido a su alta palatabilidad o por falla en la cerca, fueron factores determinantes en el establecimiento del sistema silvopastoril.
Normal Sexual Development and Puberty
Authors: French Amanda
Published: July 2021

Puberty is the hormonally mediated process of physical changes that occur during the transition of childhood to adulthood.   Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis triggers the onset of puberty. Gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the major regulator of the reproductive axis.  GnRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), which in turn activate the gonads to produce sex steroids. Thelarche is stimulated by estrogen and is usually the first sign of puberty in girls. Adrenarche, although associated temporally with puberty, is mediated by the adrenal cortex and is unrelated to pubertal maturation. A growth spurt occurs mid-puberty.  Menarche, usually occurring 2-3 years after thelarche, is considered the end of puberty. After menarche, only about 1-2 additional inches of height are accrued.  Understanding what is considered the normal timeline of sexual development allows better recognition of precocious or delayed puberty, both of which may be associated with serious underlying health issues
This review contains 4 tables, 5 figures, and 29 references.
Keywords: puberty, pubertal development, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, thelarche, menarche, normal sexual development

Published: July 2021

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing worldwide, but current treatments have limitations. miRNAs may play a key role in the development of T2D and can be targets for novel therapies. Here, we examined whether T2D is associated with altered expression and DNA methylation of miRNAs using adipose tissue from 14 monozygotic twin pairs discordant for T2D. Four members each of the miR-30 and let-7-families were downregulated in adipose tissue of subjects with T2D versus control subjects, which was confirmed in an independent T2D case-control cohort. Further, DNA methylation of five CpG sites annotated to gene promoters of differentially expressed miRNAs, including miR-30a and let-7a-3, was increased in T2D versus control subjects. Luciferase experiments showed that increased DNA methylation of the miR-30a promoter reduced its transcription in vitro. Silencing of miR-30 in adipocytes resulted in reduced glucose uptake and TBC1D4 phosphorylation; downregulation of genes involved in demethylation and carbohydrate/lipid/amino acid metabolism; and upregulation of immune system genes. In conclusion, T2D is associated with differential DNA methylation and expression of miRNAs in adipose tissue. Downregulation of the miR-30 family may lead to reduced glucose uptake and altered expression of key genes associated with T2D.
Exploring the Relationship between Entrepreneurship Policy and Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Intentions in Post-Devolution Wales
Authors:   , Roberts Daniel R.
Published: July 2021

This thesis develops the understanding of the relationship between place, policy and entrepreneurial intentions among Welsh HE students. Recent decades have seen a growth in interest in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship policy among governments and academia, as a means of encouraging economic development. A key aspect of this policy aim has been to increase rates of entrepreneurialism among individuals in a given society through the development of a ‘culture of enterprise’. This research focuses on Wales, a country within the United Kingdom which has seen recent political and institutional change through the process of devolution, and saw rapid economic change in the latter decades of the twentieth century through the process of rapid deindustrialisation. The research employs the social constructivist approach to research and utilizes qualitative methods. To develop an understanding of policy in the twenty years since the establishment of the Welsh Government, data was collected in the form of documentary analysis of key political and economic strategy documents, and this was supplemented by interviews with key political figures during the period. To understand entrepreneurial attitudes and intentions, data was collected from 25 semi-structured interviews with Welsh HE students from universities both in and outside of Wales, who had varying degrees of interest in entrepreneurship. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of how place and policy interact to inform the development of attitudes and intentions towards entrepreneurial behaviour, with implications for policy and practice for Wales and elsewhere.
A review of accounting developments in Africa
Authors:   Wagner College, New York, USA, Wise Ian
Published: July 2021

Entities in the developing nations of Africa, just like other entities in the developed world need to demonstrate good stewardship in order to attract and retain investment. This means that African countries need a robust accounting infrastructure to deliver reliable and comparable financial information. This paper reviews the current status of accounting in Africa, by looking at the structure of the accounting profession, oversight of accounting entities, currency and monetary control, the status of adoption of International Financial Accounting Standards, the level of accounting research in Africa, and developments in accounting pedagogy at African institutions of higher education. This overview is intended to provide a baseline from which future researchers can develop further investigations into the accounting profession across the continent or a region of Africa.
A theoretical and analytical framework to the inquiry of sustainable land management practices
Authors:   Bahir Dar University, Ethiopia, Ashagrie Ermias
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this paper is to provide a theoretical and analytical framework by explaining the sustainable livelihoods framework and farming system model from a sustainable point of view. The author studied over 200 publications downloaded using the electronic database search of EBSCO through UNISA online library in June 2018. Keyword combinations of ‘land’, ‘tenure’ and ‘sustainable use’ were used to search for peer-reviewed journal articles published in English from January 1980 to May 2018. The article examines most relevant literature to consolidate the necessary theoretical and analytical foundation in analysing individual and group motivations towards sustainable land management practices. The literature review affirmed that a comprehensive theoretical and analytical framework is scant to empirically analyze the determinants of sustainable land management practices. To partially fill this knowledge gap, the paper provided a generic analytical framework that gives insight not only on pre-decisional processes, but also on post-decisional processes of continued and sustained use of conservation technologies. The analytical framework is developed by combining the sustainable livelihoods framework with the farming system model. It is concluded that the economic theory of property rights may not be adequate as a model to guide land tenure studies and policy. It is recommended that a holistic approach and comprehensive analytical framework is vital for research and development endeavours to ensure sustainable land management practices.

The article reveals ESP distance learning course for foreign language training of the law-enforcement agencies personnel. Topics and stages of ESP online language learning course have been considered. The training of personnel of border security units is an integral part of the system of ensuring Integrated Border Management; it is necessary to provide coherence of units for the skillful organization of their operational and service activity. The authors focus particular attention on the structural and logical scheme of ESP distance learning course according to the separate modules. The purpose of the article is to reveal developed the ESP online course in the framework of border guards training in Ukraine. The purpose set required performing a thorough needs analysis of the target audience (border guard officers serving at the border). It has been determined that it is more efficient for border guards to study the English language without leaving their professional duties at the border. The results of the development and implementation of the English language distance learning course for foreign language training of the Border Guard Agency personnel allowed us to conclude that it is necessary and effective for border guards to obtain professional language skills for performing everyday tasks, organizing operational and service activity and during border control at checkpoints across the state border. The teacher during ESP online course acts as a catalyst for communication, provides feedback, takes into account a variety of learning styles, and pays considerable attention to the development of not only intellectual but also moral qualities of border guards. The developed online ESP course for Border Guard Agency personnel effectively functions in the system of professional training, providing an opportunity for border guards at the workplace without interrupting their main activity to improve their level of professional English proficiency. The course can be implemented in other law-enforcement educational institutions for independent learning of personnel in order to form foreign language competence, especially for officers who plan to participate in joint international programs and trainings.
The socio-professional identification of entrepreneurs and leaders
Authors: Seletkova Guzel I. , Lazukova Eugeniia A. , Kolesnichenko Milana B. , Ermakov Mikhail A. , Duvanskaya Maria K.
Published: July 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the specifics and types of socio-professional identification. The basis for the research is formed by the study conducted in the city of Perm using the “Who am I?” method that involved surveying the socio-professional groups of entrepreneurs and leaders. It was found that entrepreneurs and leaders typically self-identify through the “social self” and “reflexive self”. Common to the two types of entrepreneurs in terms of self-identification (having and not having an in-depth identification with their socio-professional group) is the correlation of self-confidence and the ability to persuade others. In leaders with in-depth self-identification with their socio-professional group, self-confidence correlates with the ability to organize work while in leaders lacking such self-identification, self-confidence correlates with the ability to talk to people. It is tested whether the self-evaluation of one’s financial status and readiness to change the sphere of one’s activity influence the degree of awareness of socio-professional identification and whether socio-professional identification affects the perception of success in life.
Azerbaijan-Turkey literary relations
Authors: Mustafayeva Nurlana
Published: July 2021

Article compares the literary relations between Azerbaijan and Turkey during the Soviet and independence periods. Research shows that during the Soviet era, limited literary relations under the leadership of Moscow were subordinated to the unified foreign policy goals of the USSR. The Soviet Union, among other means, sought to spread communist ideology in Turkey through literary ties, to weaken NATO’s southern wing from within, and to reduce Western influence. The closed society and the “iron curtain” of the USSR did not allow the free exchange of cultural and literary treasures. After the restoration of the state independence of the Republic of Azerbaijan on October 18, 1991 and the collapse of the USSR, literary relations were free from ideological stereotypes and all restrictions. The signing of bilateral documents between Azerbaijan and Turkey has laid the legal basis for cooperation in the field of culture, including literature.

Between overstocking and extinction: conservation and the intensification of uneven wildlife geographies in Africa
Authors: Büscher Bram
Published: July 2021

Conservation news from Africa generally seems to exude crisis. Over the last decade,especially, we have witnessed the increasingly visible decline of charismatic species such as the rhino, elephant, cheetah, lion, giraffe and others, coupled with an ongoing defaunation of many forested areas. What is much less visible is that in certain areas an important countertrend is also occurring: the growth of wildlife species, most notably through the stocking of private lands and initiatives to develop broader wildlife economies. This article explores these two trends and shows that they are key in understanding conservation in sub-Sahara Africa and its rapidly changing political economy more generally.Focusing on South Africa, especially the booming wildlife economy in the Greater Kruger area, the article argues that the private possession or commodified management of conservation spaces and its (over)stocking of species actually benefits from an overall decline of charismatic species. As the number of charismatic species declines across the continent, it increases the value of well-stocked, privately conserved lands, providing their owners with unique sources of profit and revenue. The result is an intensification of uneven wildlife geographies across Africa.

Genus Macrobrachium memiliki anggota spesies yang banyak dan terdistribusi di berbagai negara diantaranya Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos dan Vietnam. Salah satu spesies anggota genus Macrobarachium yang dapat ditemukan di Indonesia adalah Macrobrachium sintangense atau lebih dikenal sebagai udang regang. Identifikasi terhadap spesies ini penting dilakukan sebagai upaya untuk memperluas kajian mengenai udang regang di Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Identifikasi terhadap spesies ini dilakukan secara morfologis maupun molekuler dengan gen 16S. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui karakter morfologis dan molekuler dari M. sintangense. Identifikasi morfologis dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi karakter morfologi, morfometri, dan meristik sesuai kunci identifikasi. Analisis secara molekuler dilakukan dengan isolasi, amplifikasi, elektroforesis, dan visualisasi DNA dengan UV iluminator, DNA di sekuensing oleh 1st Base. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan karakter morfologis berupa rostrum sedikit melengkung ke atas atau seperti pisau, post antennular carapace yang membulat, preanal carina tidak ada, terdapat pubescene pada setengah proksimal hingga dua per tiga chela.  Secara morfologis semua sampel teridentifikasi sebagai anggota genus Macrobrachium. Ada delapan (8) spesimen dapat di identifikasi sampai tingkat spesies, sebagai M. sintangense. Hasil identifikasi dua (2) spesimen secara molekuler menunjukkan nilai similaritas tinggi dan hubungan kekerabatan yang dekat terhadap M. sintangense dari sampel GenBank serta hubungan kekerabatan yang dekat dengan M. sintangense dari Tukad Panti, Bali, Indonesia. Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini secara morfologis dan molekuler adalah sampel yang ditemukan pada sungai Winongo, Tambakbayan, Code dan Opak di DIY adalah M. sintangense.

Terdapat beberapa versi yang menjelaskan mengenai asal-usul suku Sakai baik secara literatur ataupun cerita-cerita yang berkembang dan diturunkan sejak dahulu. Masyarakat Sakai sendiri meyakini bahwa leluhur mereka berasal dari sebuah nagari bernama Pagaruyung di Provinsi Sumatera Barat. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui variasi dan jarak genetik masyarakat suku Sakai di Provinsi Riau dengan suku Minangkabau di Desa Pagaruyung Provinsi Sumatera Barat berdasarkan tiga lokus DNA mikrosatelit (D2S1338, D16S539 dan D13S317). Ditemukan total 10 ragam alel yang tersebar dalam tiga lokus DNA mikrosatelit suku Sakai dan 11 ragam alel pada suku Minangkabau. Hasil analisis data menggunakan software GenAlex 6.503 diperoleh nilai heterozigositas pada suku Sakai dan suku Minangkabau tergolong sedang dengan nilai 0,557 ± 0,062 pada Suku Sakai dan 0,615 ± 0,073 pada suku Minangkabau. Begitu pula dengan nilai diferensiasi genetik (F’ST) pada kedua suku ini juga menunjukkan perbedaan genetik yang sedang (0,088 ± 0,039). Berdasarkan nilai F’ST dan nilai heterozigositas dari tiga lokus DNA mikrosatelit ini maka dapat dikatakan bahwa suku Sakai dan suku Minangkabau memiliki kemiripan secara genetik. Hal ini didukung dengan adanya aliran keluar atau masuknya alel pada suku Sakai dan suku Minangkabau dengan laju migrasi sebanyak empat orang setiap generasi sehingga secara genetik suku Sakai dan suku Minangkabau memiliki kemiripan dengan jarak genetik sebesar 0,269 dan besarnya proporsi gen yang identik (Genetic identity) sebesar 0,764.

Tulang merupakan struktur yang dinamik dan mengalami remodeling atau proses regenerasi secara terus-menerus. Remodeling tulang meliputi proses formasi oleh osteoblas dan resorpsi oleh osteoklas.Keseimbangan antara formasi dan resorpsi dipengaruhi oleh hormon estrogen. Defisiensi estrogen dapat menyebabkan meningkatnya resorpsi tulang.Ovariektomi merupakan model untuk defesiensi estrogen dengan melakukan pengangkatan ovarium. Salah satu cara untuk mengatasi defesiensi estrogen dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian fitoestrogen. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efek pemberian ekstrak kedelai hitam (Glycine soja) terhadap histologi femur mencit (Mus musculus) ovariektomi. Pada penelitian ini digunakan dosis ekstrak kedelai hitam 0,42 g/ml/hari dan 0,63 g/ml/hari, yang diberikan secara oral selama 30 hari. Penelitian dilaksanakan dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap, 4 perlakuan dan 6 ulangan.Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap jumlah sel osteoblas dan jumlah sel osteoklas pada preparat histologi femur.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian ekstrak kedelai hitam dengan dosis 0.42 g/ml/hari selama 30 hari,secara nyata dapat meningkatkan jumlah osteoblas dan menurunkan jumlah osteoklas pada femur mencit ovariektomi.

Banyaknya spesies invertebrata laut yang memiliki kemiripan morfologi menyebabkan kesalahan identifikasi sangat mungkin terjadi. Identifikasi spesies secara molekuler sangat diperlukan dalam mempelajari taksonomi yang akurat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan identitas invertebrata laut dari Perairan Papua dengan teknik DNA barcoding menggunakan marka gen COI (Cytochrome c oxidase I). Penelitian mengidentifikasi 29 individu invertebrata laut, yang terdiri dari teripang (6 sampel), lobster (6 sampel), gurita (6 sampel), chiton (5 sampel), dan bulu babi (6 sampel). Metode identifikasi molekuler terdiri dari isolasi DNA, PCR fragmen gen COI, sekuensing, dan analisis sekuens DNA menggunakan software bioinformatika.Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa teripang merupakan spesies Bohadschia marmorata, lobser merupakan spesies Panulirus versicolor, gurita merupakan spesies Octopus cyanea, chiton merupakan spesies Ischnochiton australis, dan bulu babi merupakan spesies Tripneustes gratilla,  berdasarkan analisis BLAST dan Boldsystem. Dengan tingkat kemiripan sampel dan rujukan dalam kisaran 84.58 sampai 100.00%. Indeks disparitas, jarak genetik dan pohon filogenetik mendukung hasil ini.
