Published: December 2024

The high level of poverty in West Nusa Tenggara shows that the economic development process has not been able to improve community welfare evenly. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the factors that influence poverty in an effort to overcome the problem of poverty. This research aims to determine the influence of education, GRDP and Regency/City Unemployment partially or simultaneously on poverty in West Nusa Tenggara Province in 2017-2021. This test was carried out in 10 districts/cities in NTB Province with the observation year being 2017-2021. This research uses a quantitative approach and associative methods. Data collection was carried out using the documentation method, literature study and then analyzed using panel data regression analysis using the Random Effect Model (REM) approach using Eviews 10 software. The results of this research show that education has a significant and negative effect on poverty. GRDP has an insignificant and negative effect on poverty and unemployment has an insignificant and negative effect on poverty. Furthermore, education, GDP and unemployment simultaneously have a significant effect on poverty. The implication of this research is to provide information about factors that can influence poverty and for the government it can be used as consideration regarding efforts to reduce poverty in West Nusa Tenggara Province.

Published: December 2024

The direct torque controller (DTC) is an interesting control scheme for induction motor control. It is suitable for variable-frequency drives for torque and its consequent speed control, specifically for the calculation of the estimated Induction motor's magnetic flux and torque based on the motor's measured voltage and current. However, this scheme has a disadvantage in its implementation that makes it unsuitable for high torque applications, resulting in poor drive parameter variation, optimization, and dynamic responses when compared to field-oriented control (FOC). Fuzzy-based DTC is introduced to control. The high torque ripple nature of the direct torque-controlled induction motor improves drive performance to parameter variation, and improve transient response to step changes in torque during start-up. The neurofuzzy analysis on torque performance under load disturbance shows a transient response and a low step ripple effect. Thus, this improved scheme is recommended for a high inertia application. Such as flywheel presses and rock crushes.

Трансмедиальные связи в визуальной культуре: фотография в живописи и проектах современного искусства Казахстана
Authors: Кобжанова Светлана , Шарипова Диляра
Published: December 2024

In the present day, archival photography of Kazakhstan from the 19th to the early 20th century attracts keen attention from experts and the general public. The history of the interaction between painting and photography, as well as the latter’s use in creating visual art masterpieces of Kazakhstan, have become significant issues in contemporary domestic art studies.The aim of this article is to comprehend photography as a resource for mythological connotations and the actualization of cultural memory during the formative years of the painting school of Kazakhstan and in the artistic practices of contemporary Kazakh masters. In order to achieve this goal, the objectives of this article are to: 1) consider the use of photography in the visual arts during the Soviet period and its role in reflecting transformations in everyday life and the emergence of new heroes; 2) study photography as a tool in modern artistic practices; 3) identify the features of using photography in the works of contemporary painters.The primary method of the study lies in art and historical analysis of selected works. To understand the painting of the Stalinist period and the manifestation of the ideological discourse of the era within it, a structural-semiotic method is employed. The examination of the unique ways of the appropriation of archival photographs by contemporary artists into their work as a means of exploring collective trauma has prompted a shift towards postcolonial perspectives in historical knowledge. The significance of photography is explored through the lens of visual inquiry and the exploration of memory, providing insights into the utilization of this medium for capturing the essence of the past. It has been discovered that the interaction between photography and painting is a crucial aspect of the visual culture in Kazakhstan, enabling the examination of this phenomenon at different stages of its artistic development. During the period of totalitarianism, the use of photographs from previous years allowed to make a connection with the fading nature of the past, providing the necessary “tactics” for visualizing the archetypes of national thought in the socialist realist genre of everyday life.Contemporary visual culture reflects the acknowledgement of the traumatic experience during the Soviet period. Ongoing work on post-memory, based on the appropriation of archival photographs and works of the Soviet photographic school, has become one the approaches to shape public history not tied to mythologizing and ideology, and initiating a process of self-identification. The “return” to photography through the combination of a painted canvas and a photographic frame, as well as process of reconstructing lost cityscapes using old photographs, serves as a basis for preserving cultural memory and reinforcing identification strategies.
Pathogenicity and Biological Characterization of Entomopathogenic Fungi Isolated from Corn Earworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae)
Authors: Belen Josemari M. , Ocampo Virginia R. , Caom Barbara L.
Published: December 2024

Two novel entomopathogenic fungal isolates, IPLB-1 and IPLB-2, were isolated from a diseased larva of Helicoverpa armigera among a laboratory­reared population collected from a sweet sorghum field. Morphological characterization revealed that bothisolates are under the genus Metarhizium. Sequence analysis of the ITS-5.8s rDNA region showed higher homology of IPLB-1 (JQ086358) and IPLB-2 (JQ086359)to Metarhizium flavoviride var. flavoviride (AY646398.1) compared to Beauveria bassiana and Paeclomyces sp.

The two isolates were found to be highly pathogenic to H. armigera with LC50 values of 3.290 x 105 and3.737 x 105 for IPLB-1 and IPLB-2 isolates, respectively, to 7days old larvae at seven days after infection. The results indicate that these novel entomopathogenic fungi have potential to control H. armigera. Studies on its virulence and effectivity to larvae of H. armigera in different instars, among many, are necessary to determine the potential of these entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents. Search for other possible insect hosts for these fungal isolates will expand their usefulness.
Effect of Food Availability on Egg Load, Longevity, and Progeny Production of Trichogramma evanescens Westwood (Hymenoptera:Trichogrammatidae), Egg Parasitoid of Corn Borer
Authors: Rama Angelee Fame B. , Ceballo Flor A.
Published: December 2024

The sexuality, mode of reproduction as well as adult survival, lifetime productivity and ovipositional activity patterns of Trichogramma evanescens Westwood were studied with and without access to food. Assessments were made from individual wasps exposed to various food sources with corn borer eggs as the natural host and rice moth eggs, the factitious host.
The laboratory-reared population of T. evanescens reproduced by arrhenotoky. The pattern of egg maturation and deposition of the parasitoid have characteristics of both the synovigenic and pro-ovigenic types. Female wasps without food (no honey, no water) lived for an average of 1.5 ±0.3 days while those with access to food (honey, honey and water, water) lived significantly longer for an average of 8.8 ±0.4 days. Similar trend was observed on the male wasps with an average life span of 1. 7 ±0.3 days without food and 6.7 ±0.4 days with food. Wasps' average reproductive potential was 27-32 eggs daily when food is available and remained reproductive from 7 to 9 days. Without food, wasps have an average reproductive potential of 15 eggs daily and may live for 3 days only. Realized fecundity of the wasp with access to food was 6.5±1.5 offspring on the average for 9 days. Without food, wasps' average realized fecundity was 3.8 ±0.8 offspring per day and may live for 3 days. Laboratory-reared female Trichogramma wasps started ovipositing immediately upon exposure to rice moth eggs but took three hours to oviposit into the corn borer eggs.

Published: December 2024

Background: This study aims to compare the long-term outcomes and quality of survival between the direct total cavopulmonary connection (dTCPC) procedure and the standard extracardiac conduit (ECC) procedure in Fontan patients. Methods: A total of 31 participants who underwent the Fontan operation with either ECC (n = 15) or dTCPC (n = 16) at our institution were recruited between May 2023 and October 2023. Comprehensive evaluations included physical examinations, blood tests, targeted plasma metabolomics assays, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Data collected from these assessments were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results: The mean follow-up duration was longer in the dTCPC group (174.25 ± 63.06 months) compared to the ECC group (144.00 ± 43.70 months). No significant differences were observed in blood test parameters between the groups (p > 0.05). During CPET, two patients in the dTCPC group (12.5%) terminated the experiment due to a sudden decrease in exercise tolerance during the cycling process. Peak VO2 values were comparable between groups, with 20.29 ± 7.40 mL/min/kg in the dTCPC group versus 19.10 ± 7.93 mL/min/kg in the ECC group (p = 0.5939). Cardiac output in CMR revealed no significant differences between the two groups (5.28 ± 3.20 vs. 5.40 ± 2.85, p > 0.05). Additionally, flow measurements within the Fontan structure showed no significant differences (2.042 ± 1.0 vs. 2.023 ± 1.0], p > 0.05). Plasma metabolic profiling using targeted metabolomics demonstrated that the metabolic profiles of the two groups were broadly similar. Conclusions: The dTCPC procedure demonstrated similar outcomes to the ECC procedure in terms of exercise cardiopulmonary function, blood flow in central great vessels and plasma metabolic profiles. However, the long-term survival quality following dTCPC surgery, particularly regarding exercise capacity, may not fully meet expectations, highlighting the need for further refinement in surgical techniques and postoperative management.

Published: December 2024

Red palm oil (RPO) is a derivative product of crude palm oil rich in carotenoids, which can be developed into food products as a source of provitamin A. Although RPO is liquid at room temperature, it is often applied in the form of solid fat, generally through the addition of solid fat fractions containing a large quantity of saturated fatty acids. Therefore, RPO must be modified to turn it into solid at room temperature without changing its fatty acid composition, resulting in RPO oleogel. This study aimed to obtain a spread product formula using RPO oleogel made with beeswax oleogelator to substitute stearin and to characterize the quality of the spread product. The research consisted of two main stages, namely formulation and characterization of RPO oleogel and spread product samples. As a result, oleogelation increased the RPO resistance to temperature changes. Moreover, RPO slip melting point increased from 16.33±0.58–18.00±0.00 to 38.00±0.00–39.33±0.58 °C when it became RPO oleogel. RPO oleogel, which is substituted in spread products, produced higher total carotenoids and spreadability compared to spread products with stearin as a raw material. The hedonic sensory test showed that the most preferred product was 60% RPO oleogel substitution, resulting in spreadability of 285.0±0.6 mm/min, despite not significantly different from commercial one (257.4±3.0 mm/min) and carotenoid content of 462.93±10.32 ppm. However, the taste attribute of the selected spread product still needs to be improved (acceptance score 3.65±1.31 from a maximum score of 7).

Tomato sauce is typically thermally processed to achieve a sufficient level of microbial destruction, particularly vegetative microorganisms, which could pose risks to public health. This process is crucial when food is stored, distributed, resold, and consumed by end-users. The aim of this study was to evaluate the thermal processing adequacy of tomato sauce, determine the optimal cooking duration for achieving high product quality for PT XYZ, and assess its impact on the product's shelf life. The study was conducted in three stages: measuring the product temperature in the cooker tank, evaluating pasteurization adequacy based on pasteurization value (P85) calculations and organoleptic testing of the tomato sauce, and estimating its shelf life. The cooking process of tomato sauce at PT XYZ showed that the pre-heating stage required 62.4 min to reach 90 °C, holding time at 90 °C was 15.5 min, and cooling the product to 70 °C took 52 min. The pasteurization value (P85) of the tomato sauce at PT XYZ was deemed excessively high. Pasteurization at 90 °C for 1 sec produced tomato sauce with quality attributes (color, taste, aroma, and viscosity) preferred by panelists compared to tomato sauce pasteurized at 90 °C for 15.5 min. Additionally, this duration was sufficient to inactivate vegetative cells of molds and yeasts, Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Listeria monocytogenes. Based on viscosity as a quality attribute, the shelf life of tomato sauce pasteurized at 90 °C for 1 sec and stored at 30 °C was 367 days, whereas tomato sauce pasteurized at 90 °C for 15.5 min had a shelf life of 137 days.
The Manipulation of Folate Biosynthesis in Lactic Acid Bacteria with a Folate Analog and Enhancers
Authors: Mahara Fenny Amilia , Nuraida Lilis , Nurjanah Siti
Published: December 2024

Folate biosynthesis in Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus R23 isolate of breast milk and Limosilactobacillus fermentum JK13 isolate of kefir granules was manipulated by stressing them with a folate analog (methotrexate) to increase extracellular folate production. Extracellular folate production was further enhanced in isolate R23 (as a folate-efficient probiotic) by adding various enhancer compounds (PABA, glutamate, combination PABA-glutamate, CaCl2, and ascorbic acid) in a folate-free medium. Extracellular folate analysis was done using a microbiological assay that quantified all forms of folate in the samples. Both isolates could grow in folate-free medium containing methotrexate (2.5 mg/L); however, random mutant colonies of both had no increase in extracellular folate production. The resistance mechanism against methotrexate did not trigger excessive extracellular folate production but caused bacterial filamentation. Adding various enhancer compounds also did not significantly increase the extracellular folate production of isolate R23, probably due to the inadequate concentration of the compounds. This study's results indicate that stress exposure to methotrexate seems to be ineffective to increase the extracellular folate production of isolates R23 and JK13. The formation of bacterial filaments in response to stress exposure to methotrexate is possibly a new mechanism that has not been previously reported regarding the mechanism of methotrexate resistance by lactic acid bacteria. This study requires further investigation primarily evaluating intracellular folate concentrations and finding optimum concentrations of different folate biosynthesis enhancer compounds.

Currently, sorghum has been considered an important local food crop and specifically developed by the Ministry of Agriculture with the aims to support national food security. There are five centers for cultivating and processing sorghum-based products in Central Java. Besides ease of cultivation and versatility of its plant parts, sorghum has complete nutrition and potential as a functional food because it contains dietary fiber, antioxidants, and low glycemic index. This research investigated the quality of sorghum-based functional snack bars, including physical parameters (hardness) and sensory charactersitics (taste, aroma, color, texture, and acceptability). A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used to find the best formulation with different low-sugar binders (egg white, dark chocolate, and arenga sugar). The most satisfied formulation was further tested for nutritional content and functional food potential (dietary fiber, antioxidant activity, and total phenols). Statistical analysis using one-way ANOVA with Duncan and Kruskal-Wallis tests. The results showed that the sorghum snack bars incorporated with egg white was the best with a water content of 1.89% wb, protein 15.09% wb, fat 2.90% wb, carbohydrate 69% wb and total calories per 100 g product of 362.6 kcal. In terms of functional activity, it had a total dietary fiber of 8.2% wb and antioxidant activity by DPPH (2,2-diphynyl-1-picylhydrazyl) method of 57.69%. Overall, the nutrition content of the sorghum snack bar is comparable to the commercial ones and shows functional properties. Moreover, it also complies with quality requirement of granola snack bars according to the USDA.

Published: December 2024

This study aims to develop a structural model to assess knowledge, attitudes, and COVID-19 preventive practices among food handlers (FH) and food delivery workers (FDW) in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. Given the region's high population density, the risk of COVID-19 transmission is heightened, making preventive practices essential. Data were collected from 675 respondents using a questionnaire consisting of 36 items. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results revealed that both knowledge (β= 0.959 for FH; β= 0.756 for FDW; p<0.05) and attitude (β= 0.546 for FH; β= 0.410 for FDW; p<0.05) positively impacted COVID-19 preventive practices. Attitude emerged as a crucial predictor, explaining a higher variance in FH prevention practices (R²= 0.346) than in FDW (R²= 0.174). The findings underscore the importance of strengthening attitudes toward preventive measures like hand washing, mask-wearing, and physical distancing, particularly among FDWs, to enhance safe food delivery practices. The structural model and insights provide a valuable framework for developing targeted interventions and strengthening public health preparedness for future pandemics or similar crises.

Analyzing the influence of structural changes on CO2 emissions in OECD countries: Employing panel cointegration techniques
Authors: Kahouli Zohra , Hasni Radhouane , Ben Jebli Mehdi
Published: December 2024

Structural transformations in OECD countries significantly influence carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, affecting economic and social dimensions. These transformations encompass changes in industrial composition, technological progress, energy consumption patterns, and policy frameworks. This research investigates the impact of such structural shifts on CO2 emissions across a panel of 38 OECD countries between 2000 and 2021, using panel cointegration techniques to ensure robust analysis. The study confirms the presence of cross-sectional dependence among countries and establishes long-run cointegration relationships. Results from Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) models indicate that renewable energy, advancements in information and communication technology, and structural changes significantly reduce CO2 emissions. In contrast, economic growth, reliance on non-renewable energy, and institutional quality are linked to higher emissions. However, estimates derived from Panel-Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE) and Mean Group Panel (MGP) methods differ from those of FMOLS and DOLS, underscoring potential methodological variances in evaluating these relationships. This study highlights the pivotal role of structural changes in emission reduction strategies, while also emphasizing the importance of methodological choices in policy analysis. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers aiming to align economic growth with environmental sustainability within OECD countries. Moreover, the research stresses the necessity of incorporating structural changes into long-term climate strategies to ensure their effectiveness. Future studies could expand the analysis by integrating more recent data and exploring non-linear relationships to refine policy recommendations further.

DEFENCE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES
Authors: Dolidze Giorgi , Kandelaki Irine
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the major factors that hinder the resource management process, which is critical to the development of defence institutions. An effective defence resource management (DRM) process enables coordination, synchronization and integration of defence activities; provides resilience in dealing with uncertainties; supports rational decision-making; and enhances future control capacity. This facilitates the translation of short-, mid-, and long-term defence plans into concrete budgets. The authors argue that several factors have a significant negative influence on success of DRM process, such as the absence of a comprehensive strategic policy framework, the lack of data-driven analysis, and the failure of budgeting tools within the planning, programming and budgeting system (PPBS).
An effective security and defence policy framework with clear priorities is one of the key prerequisites for DRM, ensuring that resources are directed toward building the capabilities required to achieve national security goals. Ambiguity around the major strategic areas creates essential challenges, as not having a robust future vision is the same as not knowing where to go. Furthermore, a strategic security policy framework sets the priorities not only for defence but also for social, economic, and foreign policies, ensuring that resource allocations align with broader national objectives.
Another critical factor hindering success of the defence resource management process is the lack of an organizational capacity to gather, analyze, and strategically exploit an enormous amount of information, which is crucial for rational decision-making, optimal resource allocation, and adaptation within a rapidly changing security environment. In today’s digital age, the challenge for defence planners is not only a shortage of data, but rather the opposite: the ability to manage, evaluate, and analyze vast amounts of data.
Finally, the failure to adopt successfully PPBS was an additional factor challenging DRM processes in the defence institutions of post-Soviet legacy countries. This system was considered a fundamental strategic management tool that could improve resource planning processes within these organizations. However, its adoption and implementation faced significant problems that have limited its effectiveness in improving budgeting processes.
THE SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF WAR: HOW SOCIETY SHAPES WAR NARRATIVES
Authors: Metreveli Sophiko
Published: December 2024

This article explores the complex nature of war as a social phenomenon and analyzes how society shapes the narrative of war. Using the theoretical framework of social constructivism, the article demonstrates that war narratives are not merely a collection of objective facts but rather social constructs shaped by various factors.
The study identifies the main factors contributing to the formation of war narratives, such as propaganda and enemy image creation by the political elite, selective coverage and emotional influence by the media, cultural factors (history, religion, traditions), and the influence of various social groups (family, peers, social organizations).
The article examines four main types of war narratives: heroic, victim, just war, and dehumanization narratives. It analyzes how each narrative portrays the parties involved in the war, the causes and consequences of war, and the moral dimension of war. It shows that the type of narrative influences public attitudes towards war, support for it, mobilization, and motivation.
Furthermore, the article discusses in detail the social consequences of war narratives. It demonstrates that narratives can both strengthen and weaken social cohesion, deepen social inequality, normalize violence, and cause psychological trauma.
The research findings emphasize the importance of the critical analysis of war narratives to better understand the social dimension of war, its impact on society, and the prevention of its consequences.
Rethinking Streets: Enhancing Public Spaces and Pedestrian Amenities
in Liverpool, Sydney
Authors: Agha Awais Saeed
Published: December 2024

This paper undertakes an analysis and provides strategic design recommendations to urbanise Liverpool City Centre, Sydney; by proposing the conversion of the existing fragmented car oriented space into one that is inclusive, pedestrian orientated public domain. Those include problems with car monopolisation and lack of facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, the "Rethinking Streets" project noted. The Complete Street project designs streets for all users, with four modes of transportation accommodated in the same right-of-way. In theory, measures like extending the pedestrian sphere, facilitating linear bike connections and updating streetscape elements as well as parking removal to ease through-traffic could be considered. These enhancements aim to promote a healthier environment, improve connectivity among major attractions, and support economic growth, aligning with Liverpool's vision as a regional hub in Sydney's Metropolitan Plan.

Baykan Sezer’in Doğu-Batı Çatışması Tezi
Authors: Dilekli Karatay Zeynep
Published: December 2024

Baykan Sezer, kendisine özgü düşünceleriyle, incelenmesi gereken önemli bir Türk sosyoloğu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sezer’i önemli kılan iki temel nokta bulunmaktadır; bunlardan ilki kendisi-ne özgü düşüncelerinin olması, ikincisi ise Türk toplumu açısından yerli bir sosyolojiden bahsetmiş olmasıdır. Yerli bir sosyolojiden bahsetmiş olmasından dolayı Türk sosyolojisinin de (yani batı değerlerinden soyutlanmış özgün bir sosyolojiden bahsetmiş olması dolayısıyla) kurucu ismi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu düşüncelerinin oluşmasına kaynaklık eden birkaç isim olmakla birlikte bunlar-dan en önemlisi ve onun için bir yol gösterici olan temel kaynak ise Kemal Tahir’dir. Tahir’den etkilenen ve esinlenen Sezer, çalışmalarında Türk sosyolojisi ve batı sosyolojisi kavramlarını kullanmakla birlikte Türk sosyolojisinin imkanının ve diğer tüm sorunların da doğu-batı çatışması ekseninde incelenmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Baykan Sezer’in sosyolojisi tamamen Batı’dan soyutlanmış bir sosyoloji anlayışında değildir. Sezer sosyolojisi, Batı ile hesaplaşmaya ve kendi sözümüzü söyle-meyi amaçlayan bir sosyoloji anlayışındadır. Literatür taraması yapılarak ele alınan bu çalışma Sezer’in Doğu-Batı çatışması tezini tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır.

MAPPING OF ENERGY-ACTIVE ZONES OF THE GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE STUDY OF LANDSLIDE ACTIVITY AND NEGATIVE FILTRATION
PROCESSES ON EMBANKMENT DAMS
Authors: Khondkaryan Valeri
Published: December 2024

The development of the theory and practice of assessing and managing natural risks reduces the level of negative consequences associated with the development of hazardous geological processes (landslides, mudflows, shifts in the soil mass, abnormal filtration processes on dams, etc.), and allows to develop and make the necessary decisions that reduce the level of risk of emergency situations. Anomalous dynamics of the natural electric field (SP) can be an indicator of dangerous hydrogeological and geotechnical processes. The article analyzes information about local anomalies in the potential of a natural electric field of high intensity (exceeding hundreds of millivolts), recorded at various objects (dams, landslides, etc.). A technique for recording the natural electric held (SP) has been developed, which makes it possible to confidently identify areas of anomalous filtration processes by contrast, as well as by the intensity of changes in SP.

Published: December 2024

The long-term influence of anthropogenic factor and natural phenomena on qualitative characteristics of brown forest soils was studied and compared.
a result of the research it was established that long-term uncoordinated use of brown forest soils in agriculture, climate change, gradual increase in temperature, decrease in precipitation, increased winds and droughts led to deterioration of qualitative characteristics of soil, acceleration of erosion, degradation and desertification phenomena and decrease in soil fertility.
To solve the problem, it was proposed to create forest shelterbelts, introduce new technologies for resource-saving soil cultivation, plant care, enrich the soil with organic and mineral (macro, micro) fertilizers, use agricultural crop rotation, carry out irrigation by drip and sprinkler methods, expand the area of greenhouse farms.
