Spherical objects in dimensions two and three
Authors: Hara Wahei , Wemyss Michael
Published: August 2024

This paper classifies spherical objects in various geometric settings in dimensions two and three, including both minimal and partial crepant resolutions of Kleinian singularities, as well as arbitrary flopping

3

-fold contractions with only Gorenstein terminal singularities. The main result is much more general: in each such setting, we prove that all objects in the associated null category 

\mathcal{C}

with no negative Ext groups are the image, under the action of an appropriate braid or pure braid group, of some object in the heart of a bounded t-structure. The corollary is that all objects

x

which admit no negative Exts, and for which

\mathrm{Hom}_{\mathcal{C}}(x,x)=\mathbb{C}

, are the images of the simples. A variation on this argument goes further and classifies all bounded t-structures on 

\mathcal{C}

. There are multiple geometric, topological and algebraic consequences, primarily to autoequivalences and stability conditions. Our main new technique also extends into representation theory, and we establish that in the derived category of a finite-dimensional algebra which is silting discrete, every object with no negative Ext groups lies in the heart of a bounded t-structure. As a consequence, every semibrick complex can be completed to a simple-minded collection.
Bavard duality for the relative Gromov seminorm
Authors: Marchand Alexis
Published: August 2024

The relative Gromov seminorm is a finer invariant than stable commutator length where a relative homology class is fixed. We show a duality result between bounded cohomology and the relative Gromov seminorm, analogously to Bavard duality for scl. We give an application to computations of scl in graphs of groups. We also explain how our duality result can be given a purely algebraic interpretation via a relative version of the Hopf formula. Moreover, we show that this leads to a natural generalisation of a result of Calegari on a connection between scl and the rotation quasimorphism.

Published: August 2024

The main objective of this study was to explore the practices and challenges of indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms particularly the Ze-wold in Raya Kobo town, Ethiopia. The study employs a qualitative research approach with the case study design. To conduct this, ten participants in the key informant interview, and five people in the focus group discussion were taking part and the researcher observed the process of reconciliation made by the elderlies. A total number of 15 informants were participated in the study. The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis method. The finding of this study revealed that the Ze wold, indigenous conflict resolution institution is the most important mechanism to solve conflict in Raya Kobo town. Ze-wold indigenous conflict resolution mechanism is the wide area like school, church and mosque. Elders, families of conflicted groups, duberty, and religious fathers are participated in the reconciliation process. The main challenges of Ze wold indigenous conflict resolution mechanism is, fighting during the process, breaking the agreement after the reconciliation, unable to bring the criminal to justice and lack of budget. This study concludes that Ze wold as an indigenous conflict resolution plays a great role in resolving conflicts. This study recommends government office should prepare conducive environment for the reconciliation process and should give awareness about criminal law.

Authors: Musa Bilyaminu , Nasir Salisu , Idris Mustapha Balarabe , Muhammad Yahaya Abdullahi , Muhammad Nasiru , Nuhu Ma'aruf
Published: August 2024

This study seeks to refine the solvothermal synthesis method to efficiently produce metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) specifically Ni (C6H5NO2)(H2O). The streamlined solvothermal approach demonstrated in this research offers a straightforward and effective means for the preparation of MOFs, potentially enabling large-scale production. To characterize the functional groups, crystal structures, and surface properties of the synthesized MOFs, we employed Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. Our findings provide valuable insights into the relationship between synthesis parameters and the properties of the MOFs, allowing for the customization of MOF attributes on a small scale. These advancements have significant implications across various fields, including drug delivery, gas storage, and catalysis, where MOFs play a crucial role in addressing contemporary challenges.
Ethic of reciprocity and the experience of widows in Nigeria
Authors: Kanu Ikechukwu Anthony
Published: August 2024

A cursory glance at the experience of widows in Nigeria reveals that many of them lack education, job skills, and adequate resources to support themselves and their families. They often face difficulties in finding employment and are vulnerable to poverty. More often than not, they are accused of being responsible for the death of their husbands, especially when the man dies at a young age, and are thus coerced into going through degrading and dehumanising rituals all in an effort to prove her innocence. While there are several papers that have been written on the experience of widows in Nigeria, this piece distinguishes itself by its focus on the capacity of the philosophy of reciprocity to address this situation. While not suggesting any intention to trek all the allies of this experience, it adopts a new methodology in tackling the problem, by focusing on the ethic of reciprocity as a credible means of restoring the dignity of women for the stability of the family and the nation. The concept of the ‘ethic of reciprocity’ employed by the researcher is based on the philosophy of the golden rule: “Do for others what you want them to do for you”. For the sake of this paper, the thematic and expository methods of inquiry were adopted. This piece is written as a contribution to the ongoing academic discourse on the socio- economic and religio-cultural experience of women in Nigeria, with particular interest on the experience of widows.
How spruce and pine fare in a wooded meadow without management for a century
Authors: Milberg Per , Strandhag Johanna
Published: August 2024

Spruce (Picea abies) and pine (Pinus sylvestris) dominate much of Scandinavia, but it is unclear how these species fare in places not subjected to forestry. Currently, evidence suggests that in the absence of disturbance, spruce will increase while pine will decrease. The term “sprucification” has been coined to describe the landscape-wise change. We tested this prediction in a 3.4 ha wooded meadow in southern Sweden set aside for free development in 1922. Comparing with older data, we assessed how tree density, basal area and size distribution has changed since 1937 when trees were mapped. We also estimated annual mortality and recruitment of new trees. The number of trees had declined since 1937, while the basal area had increased somewhat. Spruce but not pine had shifted its geographic distribution within the reserve. Mortality was three times higher among spruce than pine. Recruitment of new trees was modest, with most being spruce. Size distribution of spruce changed substantially over time with a loss of small trees and addition of large trees. Size distribution of pine, however, remained unaffected, except for the decline in the number of small trees. On balance, despite a century of free development, there was no clear evidence for sprucification in this former wooded meadow, now a dense mixed forest.

Kewenangan Pemerintah Daerah Dalam Pelaksanaan Kebijakan Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan Berkelanjutan (LP2B) (Studi Kasus : Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan di Provinsi Banten)
Authors: Rantau Muhammad Ibrahim , Putra Heru Permana , Hilman Hilman
Published: August 2024

Trend alih fungsi lahan pertanian menjadi kawasan permukiman dan industri di Provinsi Banten dalam beberapa tahun terakhir terjadi begitu masif. Peran Pemerintah Daerah dalam upaya mengendalikan kecenderungan alih fungsi lahan tersebut terkendala dengan keterbatasan kewenangan yang termuat dalam Kebijakan Perlindungan Lahan Pertanian Pangan yang saat ini sudah terintegrasi kedalam Kebijakan Tata Ruang. Sedangkan alih fungsi lahan saat ini tidak lagi sekadar kepentingan daerah, namun juga menjadi hajat nasional. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus (case study). Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui studi kepustakaan dan observasi. Sedangkan Teknik Analisa data menggunakan Soft System Methodology (SSM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa salah satu penyebab semakin surutnya lahan pertanian adalah banyak kelonggaran terhadap alih fungsi lahan yang muncul akibat desain Rencana Tata Ruang di daerah. Sementara itu regulasi tentang Tata Ruang di daerah saat ini lebih banyak dikendalikan oleh Pemerintah Pusat melalui Undang Undang Cipta Kerja demi mengejar pertumbuhan ekonomi dan terciptanya iklim investasi.
Safety Assessment on Product E 401 (Sodium Alginate) Used as a Surface Treatment in Entire Fruits and Vegetables (RP290)
Authors:   Food Standards Agency,   Food Standards Scotland
Published: August 2024

An application was submitted to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) and Food Standards Scotland (FSS) in February 2021 from Bio Natural Solutions – BNS S.A.C. (‘the Applicant’) for the modification of the conditions of use of sodium alginate (CAS: 9005-38-3), which is an already authorised food additive (E 401), to the surface of entire fresh fruit and vegetables, as a coating to preserve them.

The Applicant intends to extend the use of the sodium alginate (E 401) as a coating material within the food category: 4.1.1 ‘Entire fresh fruit and vegetables to include citrus fruit, melons, pineapples, bananas, papayas, mangoes, avocados, pomegranates’ at the level of quantum satis.

To support the FSA and FSS in evaluating the dossier the Joint Expert Group on Additives, Enzymes and other regulated products (AEJEG) were asked to review the dossier and the supplementary information from the Applicant. The AEJEG concluded that no risk to health would be presented from this extension of use of E 401 on the basis that the additive was considered of low toxicological concern, as indicated by the European Food Standards Agency’s (EFSA) decision that a numerical ADI was not required. The Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) also reviewed the AEJEG safety assessment agreeing with the conclusions of the AEJEG.

The views of the AEJEG and COT have been taken into account in this safety assessment which represents the opinion of the FSA and FSS on the extension of use of the sodium alginate (E 401) as a coating material in entire fresh fruit and vegetables.
Impact of Sperm Positioning and Aspiration Volume on Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Outcomes
Authors: TROSHINA TATIANA
Published: August 2024

Objective

To evaluate the influence of aspiration volume and final sperm position relative to the needle on fertilization and embryo development competence in ICSI.

Methods

A retrospective study analyzed 385 ICSI procedure videos, measuring distances between the needle bevel base and the sperm at oolemma breakage and needle withdrawal moments. Outcomes assessed were fertilization and blastulation rates.

Results

Blastulation rates did not significantly differ across aspiration volumes: <4 pl (50%), 4-8 pl (41.2%), 8-12 pl (47.2%), >12 pl (37.9%). Fertilization failure was higher (19.6%) when the sperm was near the needle bevel base at needle withdrawal compared to 2.4% when just behind the needle tip (p<0.0001). Fertilization rates were 66% with sperm in the needle trumpet vs. 85% outside (p=0.0017).

Conclusions

Blastulation rate was unaffected by aspiration volumes below 12 pl. Sperm positioned near the needle bevel base at withdrawal increased fertilization failure risk. Positioning sperm in the trumpet before withdrawal decreased fertilization rates. Further studies are needed to validate these findings across different settings.

Published: August 2024

The research is aimed at implementing and testing the information systems of the Tracer Study at Panca Development University using the BlackBox Testing method. The BlackBox test method is chosen to evaluate the functionality of the system without having to know the internal details of that system. Previous research results showed that BlackBox testing was effective in identifying functional errors without requiring in-depth knowledge of the internal structure of the system. In the context of information system development, the use of testing methods such as BlackBox Testing becomes essential to ensure that the developed system functions properly according to the needs of the user. Implementation of this method on the Tracer Study information system is expected to improve the quality of the system and ensure that the system can provide accurate and useful information to the user. Thus, the research contributes to the development of the information system Tracer Studies in the higher education environment, in particular Panca Budi Development University, with a testing approach that focuses on the external functionality of the systems. The results of the implementation and testing using the BlackBox Testing method are expected to improve the quality and reliability of the Tracer Study information system that can support better decision-making in the future.

Objective: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the moderating role of perceived supervisor support in the effect of workplace loneliness on intention to quit.
 
Theoretical Framework: The underpinning theories of this study is organizational support theory (OST) and social exchange theory (SET). This study focuses on decent work and economic growth goal, one of the Social Development Goals (SDGs), as it contains examining if the different work conditions due to the COVID 19 pandemic may cause different attitudes and behaviors.
 
Method: This study employs a survey technique, one of the quantitative research methods, on 200 employees working for a cruise tourism company. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS and SmartPLS statistical programs.
 
Results and Discussion: As a result of the findings, it was found that emotional deprivation has no effect on employees’ intention to quit while the lack of social companionship has positive and significant effect on intention to quit. In addition, it was determined that perceived supervisor support has a moderating effect on the association between emotional deprivation and intention to quit whereas no moderating role of perceived supervisor support on the relationship between lack of social companionship and intention to quit was found.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by testing the theories of OST and SET in terms of diferent sectoral characteristics in the business world. Questioning the theories of organizational support and social exchange widens the scope of related literature. While enriching the existing literature by conducting such a research, a new explanation has been provided for the associations between variables.

Efeitos da comissão de heteroidentificação racial na trajetória acadêmica dos alunos cotistas
Authors:   , Santos Felipe Nathan Ferreira dos
Published: August 2024

Com o intuito de enfrentar as disparidades raciais no sistema educacional do país, a Lei de Cotas foi instituída a partir de 2012, gerando debates substanciais sobre seus aspectos legais, sobre as heterogeneidades em sua implementação nas instituições e na sua efetividade enquanto política pública. Por conseguinte, em várias instituições, surgiram denúncias de fraudes, evidenciando a falta de critérios claros de elegibilidade para cotas raciais, especialmente no que diz respeito à autodeclaração como único mecanismo de validação. Diante desse cenário, algumas instituições, incluindo a Universidade Federal de Viçosa, optaram por estabelecer comissões de heteroidentificação (doravante Bancas). Essas comissões visam prevenir fraudes que comprometem a eficácia da política, ao verificar de maneira mais detalhada e precisa os critérios de elegibilidade dos candidatos às cotas raciais. Até o momento, a literatura sobre as Bancas tem se concentrado nos aspectos organizacionais e jurídicos, não havendo ainda pesquisa que avalie o impacto dessas comissões em instituições brasileiras. Neste contexto, foi hipotetizado que a Banca tenha causado um impacto institucional, especialmente no que se refere à maior diversidade racial dos ingressantes, algo ainda não experimentado pela instituição, mesmo após a implementação da Lei de Cotas. Consequentemente, conjectura-se que, ao alterar o perfil dos estudantes, tornando-os mais diversos e igualitários em termos raciais, a Banca tenha intensificado as desigualdades socioeconômicas entre cotistas e não cotistas, o que poderia resultar em trajetórias acadêmicas distintas. Por meio dos resultados, observou-se uma tendência de aumento nas porcentagens de autodeclaração nas categorias preto em detrimento da categoria pardo, sendo que a taxa de alunos pretos aumentou de 10,55% para 13,39%, enquanto os candidatos pardos apresentaram uma redução, de 38,03% para 33,46%. Os resultados econométricos indicaram, em todos os modelos estimados por Propensity Score Match (PSM), que o ingresso pela modalidade “Racial e renda” associou-se a uma diminuição no acesso à Iniciação Científica e a menores rendimentos acadêmicos, medidos pelo Coeficiente de Rendimento Acadêmico (CRA). Esses resultados confirmam as hipóteses do presente estudo de que o ingresso na modalidade racial está associado a trajetórias acadêmicas distintas dos outros estudantes, principalmente após a implementação da Banca. Acredita-se que essa discrepância decorra, em grande parte, do efeito da implementação da Banca, que, como discutido, modificou o perfil dos estudantes dessa modalidade de ingresso. Palavras-chave: Ações Afirmativas; Bancas de Heteroidentificação Racial; Avaliação de Políticas Públicas.

Published: August 2024

Purpose: To examine the factors influencing employee turnover among TB/HIV management unit’s in public hospitals in the Puntland State of Somalia. It examined the influence of job satisfaction, promotion opportunities, top management and organisation commitment on employee turnover among TB/HIV management units.
Methodology: A descriptive research design was used to study the target population of 806 healthcare workers who work in public hospitals in the Puntland State of Somalia. The study sample consist of 267 respondents selected from among the healthcare workers in these hospitals. The data was collected through structured questionnaires that were self-administered to the health workers. The collected data was quantitative and analyzed using descriptive techniques and statistical tools like SPSS (Version 26). The findings were displayed as tables, charts, percentages, and means. Multiple regressions and Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient was also utilized to determine the relationship between the independent and dependent variables.
Findings: The study found that organization commitment, job satisfaction and promotion opportunities were significant factors influencing the employee turnover among TB/HIV management unit’s in public hospitals in Puntland state of Somalia with significant value of p=.000 each. Further, the study also found that top management was an insignificant determinant of the employee turnover among TB/HIV management units in public hospitals in Puntland state of Somalia with significance value of .081.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy (recommendations): Theory: The study challenges traditional theories by demonstrating that organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and promotion opportunities are more significant than top management in influencing employee turnover within specialized healthcare units. It suggests that healthcare administrators should focus on enhancing job satisfaction and career advancement opportunities rather than solely relying on top management strategies to improve retention. Policymakers should implement strategies that bolster employee engagement and career development in public hospitals, as these factors are crucial for reducing turnover and improving service stability.

Making faces: Interferencias entre las Artes Plásticas y el Maquillaje
Authors: Alameda Galán Jesús
Published: August 2024

Durante años he desarrollado mi investigación centrada en el cuerpo, un cuerpo editable, con capacidad de transmutación.  Este juego de creación de personajes posibles se construye mediante maquillaje, prótesis o máscaras que otorgan al individuo otras lecturas y significados.   En 2018 decido estudiar en una escuela profesional de maquillaje y caracterización. Esto me ayudó a entender la técnica de manera más profunda, lo que hizo que se expandieran las posibilidades creativas.  Dicha formación me dio la oportunidad de trabajar en otros campos como el de la moda, la fotografía editorial o la publicidad. Dentro de estos campos profesionales pude reconocer ciertas interferencias entre los trabajos de maquillaje, que se estaban realizando en el mundo de la moda actual, con imágenes y conceptos que guardaba sobre referentes artísticos con los que ya había trabajado. Las imágenes que encontramos en la industria de la belleza actual parecen tener un discurso poético/estético que dificulta vislumbrar la línea de separación, si es que existe, entre las artes plásticas y la imagen comercial de un “Beauty”. La industria de la belleza se ha regido durante años en un plano canónico, poco permeable, pero al igual que los artistas de la vanguardia se preguntaron en cierto momento qué es arte, o en los años 70 la moda comienza a reinterpretar la funcionalidad y las formas de los patrones, los maquilladores y la industria de la moda se están preguntando qué es belleza, apareciendo un concepto  expandido que va más allá de una finalidad estética, el maquillaje como una mera expresión artística. La reciente exposición de Gina Beavers “Face Painting” en el MoMa de Nueva York, la cantidad de artistas plásticos que se introducen dentro del mundo del maquillaje como Peter Philips, Isamaya French o Pat McGrath y la infinidad de publicaciones dedicadas a esta técnica artística como la de LyLe Xox, “Head of Design”, hacen que sea necesario el reconocimiento mediante una investigación que reflexione y recopile el papel del maquillaje en la actualidad, el papel del “Makeup Artist” y su vínculo con las artes plásticas. En este fotoensayo, ejemplificamos algunas de las interferencias encontradas durante la investigación,  en ocasiones estas conexiones son solamente estéticas, otras conceptuales, otras a nivel técnico. En otros caso encontramos una reflexión completa en cuestión a un concepto ya creado por artistas plásticos a lo largo de la historia, en este fotoensayo se pretende diluir el tiempo y los movimientos artísticos en un espacio global de referencias donde todas estas interconectadas. En este caso solo encontramos una pequeña representación de la  investigación, que casi a modo de juego nos introduce dentro del mundo del maquillaje en la actualidad.

Lumpy Skin Disease is a smallpox disease on the skin caused by the Lumpy Skin Disease virus from the genus Capripox, family Poxviridae. The LSD virus is double a stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA virus), has a lipid envelope, and replicates in the cytoplasm. This disease can infect cattle and buffalo, and give an economic impact on farmers. Information about LSD in Indonesia has not been published for a long time and has not been published enough, so the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Brawijaya University has taken the role of conveying information about LSD through Communication, Information and Education (KIE) media in order to increase awareness of the entry and spread of LSD in areas experiencing LSD outbreaks. The KIE activity was attended by 17 participants from the "Sukses Bersama" Dairy Cattle Group. The results obtained from KIE activities were an increase in participants' knowledge, known from the results of the pretest and posttest analysis. The highest average score before the presentation of the material, the teenage group respondents answered 10 questions correctly, the adult and elderly groups answered 11 questions correctly. Meanwhile, after the presentation of the material, the highest average of respondents in the teenage, adult and elderly groups answered 12 questions correctly. The participant's age influences the participant's ability to answer questions correctly.

Rapid development has an impact on urban land which keeps decreasing, thus, the use of narrow yards is a solution to support urban farming. One effective method of urban farming is the aquaponics technique, in which plants and fish are grown together in the same container. The problems overcome through this approach are: 1) limited urban land means limited use of yards, and 2) not all residents have the knowledge and skills to implement aquaponic cultivation appropriately. Therefore, there is a need for a training on how to create and cultivate aquaponics efficiently. This community service activity aimed to increase productivity, economic independence and nutritional fulfillment through the practice of urban farming with aquaponics in Bandulan Village RT 05 RW 08, in the form of outreach, assistance and comprehensive training for residents who need it. The results of this activity are a pilot aquaponics system managed by Karang Taruna, increasing community knowledge, and motivation to implement an aquaponics system around the house as an alternative to meet vegetable and fish needs. Apart from that, it contributes in supporting sustainable urban agriculture in Bandulan Village.
