Assessing the adaptive management process in SMART sites: Lessons learned
Authors: Wyatt Alexander , Singh Rohit , Read Charlotte
Published: November 2024

The effective management of protected and conserved areas is crucial to the preservation of much of the world's biodiversity. The Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) is one of the world's most utilised protected and conserved area management tools, used to inform research, tourism management, natural resources use, intelligence, threat analyses, and more. Through surveying staff at 49 protected and conserved areas across 14 countries, we examine how SMART is being implemented in terms of eight key factors in data management and decision-making. Results indicate room for improvement in all aspects of the adaptive process, particularly relating to the planning of systematic patrols as well as the role of management in the adaptive process. Additionally, many sites provide low levels of training and suffer from insufficient staffing. This information will help develop guidance on what is required by protected and conserved areas for the effective implementation of SMART.
Tillit bland unga på svensk landsbygd: Hur påverkas vardag och identitet?
Authors: Mossberg Linda , Liss Ann
Published: November 2024

Sverige har historiskt höga uppmätta nivåer av tillit. Studier visar dock på en nedåtgående trend, särskilt hos ungdomar. Höga tillitsnivåer återfinns främst på landsbygden, där tilliten ibland byggs på social kontroll och låg acceptans för normbrytande beteende. Denna studie handlar om på vilket sätt tillit påverkar ungas vardag och identitet på landsbygden. Empiriinsamlingen består av fokusgruppsintervjuer. Analysen visar på tre övergripande kategorier tillika sociala identiteter: vi, vi annorlunda och de andra. Kategorin vi omfattar alla ”kända” som bor i samhället och är en central identitet för ungdomarna. Den beskrivs också som den starkast bidragande orsaken till den höga tilliten, så stark att den kunde motivera till risktagande. Kategorin vi annorlunda innefattade några få medborgare i samhället, ibland även ungdomarna själva. Sista kategorin, de andra, var personer utan social förankring i samhället. Dessa personer var okända som ungdomarna beskrev att de försökt undvika kontakt med, vilket riskerade möjligheten och tillgången till breddade sociala erfarenheter.

Trust Among Youth in Rural Sweden: How Everyday Life and Identity Are Affected
Trust levels in Sweden have historically been shown to be high, although decreasing within the younger generation. Rural societies show the highest levels of trust built on social control and low acceptance of norm-breaking behaviours. This study aims to investigate the ways trust affects the everyday life and identities of youth in a Swedish rural community through interviews with a total of twelve participants. The analysis shows that three social identities emerged: us, us different, and the others. The us category encompasses all the trusted inhabitants in the community and is a central identity to the interviewees. It is also described as the largest contributor to the high levels of trust. Us different contained a few members of the community and occasionally also the interviewees themselves. The final category, the others, were people described as “unknown” making the interviewees hesitant to seek contact with them, risking access to social experiences.

Authors: Kishanrao Suresh
Published: November 2024

In 2022, the United Nations General Assembly declared that access to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is a universal human right. The Supreme Court of India has recently in a judgment, a significant step towards acknowledging the impact of climate change on human life, has said that the "right against the adverse effects of climate change" falls under the scope of Articles 14 and 21, which guarantee rights to equality and life and country must take action to mitigate it. Focusing on the mean surface air temperature offers a reliable way to compare the relentless heat affecting both deserts and rainforests. In order of highest mean temperature Mali, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Mauritania, Tuvalu, Djibouti the Gambia, Maldives, Benin, and Palau. Eight states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Delhi, Andhra Pradesh in India are sizzling hot right now. Heat stress is a common problem encountered in farming in hot weather, emergency response activities or recovery operations, when workers are required to work in hot environments, and sometimes for extended periods. Any process or job site that is likely to raise the workers deep core temperature {> 100.4 degrees F/ (38°C)} raises the risk of heat stress. Materials & Methods: This article is based on recent reports of heat stroke across & India managing one case each of heat stress, Prickly heat, Heat exhaustion in first week of May 2024 and literature search of management practices across the world. Results: All the cases managed had recovered fully. Among the media reports of heat stroke fatalities, there is a need to authenticate all such deaths by medical teams. Synthesis of the Conclusion: The world must be concerned, not just climate change but other environmental crises such as air and water pollution, noise and light pollution in cities, micro plastics, freshwater availability, biodiversity loss, ocean acidification etc. We need an integrated approach for addressing all the global environmental issues. Ultimately, we should strive for a safe and resilient Earth for that, States must reduce a) carbon emissions levels, b) concrete jungles and increase c) number of trees, and d) number of lakes!.

Theory of Space Quantization (Tsq) Driven Version of the Conventional Theories of Physics, Relativity and Gravitation-A Concise Report
Authors: Bhattacharya Chinmoy
Published: November 2024

The global scientific community at the moment is awaiting passionately for a ‘Theory of Everything’ (TOE) and the level of expectation of the said community is, i) the Theory has to be very robust and versatile ii) the theory should be in a position to fully explain and connect all the happenings and aspects of the universe and iii) the said TOE has to be a multi block compatibilizing one (is in harmony with the existing theories of physics) and as well has to establish the fact that the theories of physics proposed so far, though have been presented in many different forms but they are inherently being identical by their origins or routes. In this small article it is being reported that the recently discovered ‘ Topological Theory of Quantum gravity (TTQG) or the ‘ Theory of Space Quantization’ (TSQ) has already unified the theories of ‘Newtonian physics or classical physics’, ‘thermodynamics’, ‘quantum mechanics’, ‘cosmological theories’ and the ‘theories of relativities’ under a single umbrella and revealed the dimensionalities of ‘time’ , ‘mass’, ‘space expansion-space inversion’ of the universe , geometries of ‘gravitation’ the ‘singularity’ and the dimensionality of the universe itself and as well presented an ‘Universal Graviton Cycle’ to explain most of the cosmic/astronomical phenomena of the universe in a single frame. It is a first foot step of TSQ or TTQG to ultimately converge to the ‘Theory of Everything’.

Authors: Deogharia Giridhari
Published: November 2024

Cosmological studies incorporate a set of differential equations which can be shown as an autonomous system. In our article, interactions are chosen. Solution of the dynamical system is analysed. Chevallier- Polarski-Linder dark energy model is opted and the concerned stability is studied. Point of periodicity is found to grow at high redshift for low dimensionless density parameters of matter. As we chronologically proceed towards the present time, this point is shifted towards high values of dimensionless density due to matter. At present time even the point of periodicity is seen to sustain. Distinguishably no attractor or past time attractor is noticed to get formed

Authors: Chandra Swarniv
Published: November 2024

This study presents a comparative analysis of methane (CH₄) emissions between Kolkata and the Sundarban Delta from 2019 to 2024, using data from Sentinel-5P. The research identifies significant trends and correlations in methane emissions, influenced by urbanization and ecological factors. Time series analysis reveals distinct seasonal patterns and trends, with Kolkata showing a steady increase in emissions due to industrial activities, while the Sundarbans exhibit relatively stable CH₄ levels, attributed to its mangrove ecosystem. Statistical analysis, including ANOVA and correlation tests, highlights the significant differences in emissions dynamics between the two regions. The findings underscore the need for transboundary environmental policies to address divergent emission trajectories and emphasize the importance of coordinated efforts between scientific communities and policymakers in India to mitigate climate change impacts. This research provides critical insights for developing targeted strategies to balance urban development with ecological preservation.
Time Conservation Principle versus Energy Physics
Authors: Iyer Rajan
Published: November 2024

This article explores the conservation principles that may apply to time, contrasting them with the well-established conservation of energy. Publications of peer reviewed papers enabled the author to derive time to be a tensor, algebraic than merely arithmetic scalar. Here, these are brought out in a dramatic manner to highlight gradation of high rank tensors, which decompose to multiple vectors. This study reexamines time originally as potentially the most conserved attribute in physics, considering the quantum nature of well-known established by thermodynamic fundamentalistic energy conservation. Literature surveys quoting time conservation versus energy physics studies, especially quantum gravity, Page–Wootters formalism, and related areas with concept of time as emergent and travel phenomena associated to time as a wavefunction tensor have been highlighted. Mathematical theory derivations showing conservation of time principle with tensor analysis giving key equations and establishing time invariance with point in space via differential testing in relation to domains of reality of time tensor, = constant proves that conservation of time applies like the general principle of energy quantum conservation well within given conditions. Quantified clocks applying time conservation principle analyze strong gravity versus weak gravity environments like microblackholes and the zero-point fields, showing how branes may produce curled up dimensions, like Kaluza-Klein 5D curled up dimensions. Verifications with experimental methods, especially testing time conservation potentially would uncover new fundamental principles of physics - time conservation principle after establishment will propel to revolutionize our understanding of the universe and drive innovation in both theoretical and applied physics, specifically quantum technologies and astrophysical endeavors, especially measurement techniques with LHC, for example have been considered to launch research efforts of the future.

The Effects of Transparency, Accountability, Village Development, and Political Interest on Village Fund Allocation Management
Authors: Sulthoni Ghulam Ihda , Amirya Mirna
Published: November 2024

This research evaluates the influence of transparency, accountability, village development, and political interest on Village Fund Allocations (ADD) management by village governments, addressing community concerns about fund usage. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression, data from 100 villagers in four Ponorogo Regency villages, East Java, were analyzed. Results indicate that transparency, accountability, and village development positively impact ADD management, while political interest has a negative effect, highlighting potential challenges associated with political influences on fund management. However, the study has limitations, such as a small sample size and a focus on a specific regency, limiting generalizability. Recommendations include conducting future research with larger, more diverse samples for broader insights. Practical implications suggest implementing policies and practices to enhance transparency, accountability, and village development for effective fund utilization. Additionally, awareness of the negative impact of political interest underscores the need for measures to mitigate undue political involvement in fund management.

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season (November, 2021–April, 2022) at AICRP on Wheat, College of Agriculture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India to evaluate the efficacy of Pyroxasulfone in wheat cultivation to enhance crop productivity and profitability. The study assessed eight weed management treatments, including herbicide applications (pendimethalin at 1000 g ha-1; pyroxasulfone at 127.5 g ha-1; pendimethalin+pyroxasulfone at 1250+127.5 g ha-1; metribuzin at 300 g ha-1; pendimethalin+metribuzin at 1250+280 g ha-1; pyroxasulfone+metribuzin at 127.5+280 g ha-1 as pre-emergence), hand weeding once at 25 DAS and weedy check, in a randomized block design with three replications. The experimental field was dominated by Phalaris minor (17.82%) among monocot weeds, while Medicago denticulata (28.97%), Cichorium intybus (26.19%), Chenopodium album (16.10%), and Anagallis arvensis (10.92%) among the dicot weeds throughout the crop growing period. Results revealed a substantial decrease in weed density and dry weight across all treatments, with the combination of pyroxasulfone+metribuzin at 127.5+280 g ha-1 showing superior efficacy. Weed control efficiency was highest with hand weeding, followed by herbicide treatments. Additionally, treatments significantly influenced wheat growth parameters and yield attributes, with the application of pyroxasulfone+metribuzin at 127.5+280 g ha-1 resulting in the tallest plants and highest number of tillers square-1 meter. Grain yield was also found significantly higher in plots treated with pyroxasulfone+metribuzin at 127.5+280 g ha-1. The economic analysis demonstrated that pyroxasulfone+metribuzin at 127.5+280 g ha-1 yielded the highest net monetary returns, indicating its economic viability.

Published: November 2024

The article examines studies on the reinforcement of reinforced concrete elements of cement -based fibro -based fibro systems (FRC) and polymers reinforcement fibro (FRP). Nowadays, the world economy, and with it, the construction industry is developing at a rapid pace. New materials, mechanization, construction equipment are emerging on the market. Due to this, modern structures impress with their shapes, scale and complexity of structures. The state of construction production in the country can be judged on the state of the economy of this country as a whole. Now the urgent issue in the world is the use of new composite materials in the strengthening of building structures. Such materials include non -metallic fittings, laminates, nets and canvases based on high -strength fibers. In this case, the own weight of fiber materials is slightly small. Only units of the above researchers performed enhancement of experimental samples under load, so the influence of the initial stress-deformed state on the work of the structure after amplification was practically not studied.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT. This study aims to determine the growth performance and carcass quality of three different Kampung chicken species (KUB Kampung Chicken, Merawang Chicken, and In-ovo Feeding Kampung Chicken). This research was conducted at the CV. Bittara Wanua in Soppeng Regency. The study followed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three treatments and five replication plots. Each replication plot contained 5 chickens.  The treatments namely: P1 uses KUB chicken, P2 uses Merawang chicken, and P3 uses Kampung chicken from in-ovo feeding. The parameters observed were growth performance including body weight gain, feed consumption, and feed conversion, while carcass quality includes carcass percentage, breast percentage, upper thigh percentage, lower thigh percentage, wing percentage, and back percentage. The results showed that treatment had a significant effect (P<0.05) on body weight gain, feed conversion, breast percentage, lower thigh percentage, and back percentage. Still, they had no effect (P>0.05) on feed consumption, carcass percentage, upper thigh percentage, and wing percentage. It could be concluded that KUB chicken has the best growth performance and carcass quality because it has fast growth, low feed conversion, and a high percentage of carcass parts of the breast compared to other types of native chickens.

Authors: Sanda Falentino Heydi , Susilawati Erna
Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze the speed of adjustment of capital structure in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) by considering key variables such as SoA, Distance, Profitability (RoA), Growth, and Tangibility. SoA refers to the speed at which companies adjust to their target capital structure, and the results indicate that companies in Indonesia have not yet reached an optimal capital structure target. Distance reflects the difference between the actual and target capital structure, while profitability reflects the financial performance of the company. Growth and Tangibility refer to company growth and the level of tangible assets that can be pledged as collateral. This study involved 717 companies listed on the BEI from 2020 to 2022, with 2020 as the estimation period and 2021-2022 as the research period. The One Sample t-test with a test value of 1 and multiple linear regression analysis with classical assumption testing were employed to examine the relationship between these variables and SoA. Each variable that has been used in this study shows that the speed of adjustment of capital structure in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange is not at the optimal target. Of the five hypotheses made, it turns out that only three hypotheses were accepted while the other two hypotheses were rejected.

Padang Eye Center is one of the hospitals under construction on Jalan Khatib Sulaiman, Lolong Belanti, North Padang District, Padang City, West Sumatra. The construction of the hospital will certainly have an impact on traffic on Jalan Khatib Sulaiman. The purpose of conducting andalalin is to analyze the amount of travel demand that occurs at the Padang Eye Center Hospital in pre-construction, construction period, operational period, and post 5 years of construction, as well as seeing the impacts that occur and how alternative solutions are carried out. The parameters used are based on the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2021 concerning the implementation of andalalin, the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) of 2023 concerning the performance of road sections and the Directorate General of Land Transportation of 1996 concerning parking. The results of the analysis, namely the existing conditions obtained a V / C ratio of 0.43 level B, the construction period obtained a V / C ratio of 0.45 level C, the operational period with a V / C ratio of 0.45 level C, and after 5 years of operation the V / C ratio is 0.58 level C which means that the flow is stable, but the operating speed begins to be limited based on the level of service (LOS) table. Parking needs based on the building area of 2832 m2 were obtained as many as 113 srp, while based on the available parking area it can accommodate as many as 121 srp, so the parking space requirements of the Padang Eye Center Special Eye Hospital have been met. The alternative solution to this analysis is the placement of regulatory officers in front of the entrance and exit of the Khatib Sulaiman Road intersection during the construction period, regulating parking circulation within the hospital area, and making barrier gates to regulate vehicle traffic flow.

The implementation of construction projects in the Regional Government of West Pasaman Regency almost every year there is always a termination of the contract which results in not achieving the government's goal of increasing the standard of living of the community because the targets set by the Government are delayed and hampered. This research was carried out which aims to identify the causes of contract termination in the implementation of construction service procurement in West Pasaman Regency, analyze and evaluate the causes of contract termination in construction implementation, and determine recommendations for improvement to prevent contract termination in the implementation of construction service procurement in Pasaman Regency West. This study uses descriptive qualitative analysis based on the results of interviews with CMO and TIO for work that has terminated its contract and analyzes administrative data on termination of contracts for construction work which has experienced termination of contract. The methods used in the discussion to find out the factors that cause construction contract termination are the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Method and the Obtain Cut Set (MOCUS) Method. From this study it can be concluded that the main factor causing the breakup of construction contracts is the owner's firmness with the performance of the provider, the provider being evaluated is unable to carry out the work, the contract termination should be carried out earlier, not waiting for the end of the year and not providing an extension of the implementation period past the fiscal year and the owner is negligent. in controlling the contract. While the supporting factors that cause the termination of the contract are the provider's fault, namely poor project management, the practice of borrowing company flags, not having capital, not heeding the instructions of the owner and field supervisor as well as other factors, namely disturbance factors from the community around the work location, weather, selection of providers and material supply. For recommendations for future improvements, it is recommended that the owner carry out control of the construction contract more optimally and the provider is more professional at work. This study analyzes the factors that cause construction contract terminations only from the owner's point of view, therefore further research is still needed from the point of view of job providers and supervisors to see the characteristics and possibilities of other different factors.

Economic and technological advances in Indonesia require vocational school graduates to be able to work competently according to their fields. The Ministry of Education and Culture supports the 21st century learning model which refers to the 4C skills, namely Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creative. Achievement in the learning process is used to measure the achievement of goals and the intelligence of students. To be able to enter and survive in the world of work, it is also necessary to prepare attitudes, character and skills in work or employability skills that start from the learning process. This study aims to analyze the influence of 4C skills in improving employability skills and learning outcomes. The approach used in this study is quantitative with the student population of the DPIB Expertise Program of SMK Negeri 3 Semarang. The sampling technique uses a total sampling of 72 respondents. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis techniques that have previously gone through analytical tests including (1) Normality Test, (2) Homogeneity Test, (3) Linearity Test. The results of the study showed that (1) there was an influence between learning achievement on 4C skills with a T value of 4.660, (2) there was an influence between employability skills on 4C skills with a T value of 9.520, and (3) there was a simultaneous effect between learning achievement and employability skills against 4C skills with an F value of 55.937. The simultaneous correlation of the three variables was 78.6% with a simultaneous influence value of 61.9%, the remaining value of 38.1% was influenced by other factors that were not studied by the researcher.

Land mapping is an important research activity to determine the location of points on the earth's surface, describing the physical condition of parts of the surface that resemble the actual condition. The objective of this process is to gain a comprehensive understanding of the land to be built and used through land area measurements, topographic maps, and land volume analysis at various altitudes. In this mapping, the open polygon method is used for calculations which are conventional methods using data point values as data centers to represent the area of influence. During this mapping, there are three main points used with the open polygon method. A total of 26 ground contours were recorded, and 4 road contours recorded. During the mapping process, corrections are required on the open polygon calculations to ensure the accuracy of the results. This correction involves adjusting the data to take into account field variability and inaccuracies of measuring instruments, so that the resulting data can be reliable for further analysis and correct decision-making. The land that has been painted can be used for various fields such as construction, and mining. Land mapping allows partial surface physical state imaging, classification of land, and can be used to plan, build, and maintain infrastructure such as highways and bridges. The result of this practice obtained data of the maximum height of 90,0945 masl and minimum 88,76 masl with the average ground height 90,05059 masl, while the average highway height is at 88,86175 masl.

Calculating the thickness of the flexible overlay needs to consider several factors, such as traffic load, soil characteristics, existing pavement conditions, and planned changes to the road design. This procedure generally uses recognized pavement design methods, such as the AASHTO 1993 method (Guide for Design of Pavement Structures). This research aims to determine the thickness of the added layer using an asphalt layer on composite roads in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO standards. It is hoped that this method can produce an effective overlay design, extend the life of the pavement, and increase the comfort and safety of road users. The data used in this research includes primary and secondary data. The results of this analysis are to calculate the STA 0 segment, for other STAs use the same method. From the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) deflection data, the Subgrade Reaction Modulus (k) value was 473 psi/in, the Concrete Elasticity Modulus (Ec) value was 4,843,105 psi and the Rupture Modulus (Sc') value was 699 psi. The traffic load used is 25.000.000, so the result of calculating the plate thickness to serve future traffic (Df) is 10.79 inches or 27.40 cm and the effective plate thickness value (Deff) is 9.13 inches or 23.30 cm, then the result is the added layer thickness (Dol) is 3.30 inches or 8.39 cm

This study aims to analyze the potential for flooding in the Konto River, Gudo District, Jombang Regency, this study uses the Gumbel and Log Pearson III statistical methods. Floods in this area often occur due to rainwater flow from the surrounding mountains which causes damage to infrastructure and settlements. Maximum daily rainfall data from 2013 to 2023 are used in this analysis. The Gumbel method is a statistical technique that is often used to analyze extreme rainfall data. The Gumbel and Log Pearson III methods are applied to estimate the design rainfall based on the flood return period, which is useful in infrastructure planning and flood mitigation. The calculation results show that the design rainfall increases with the increase in the return period. Compared to the Log Pearson III method, the Gumbel method provides higher design rainfall results, making it more suitable for estimating extreme rainfall in this area. These results are important in efforts to manage water resources and control flooding in the Konto River. The design rainfall will increase with the longer return period. This means that the higher the design rainfall, the smaller the possibility of it happening again. The results of the calculations show that the three methods can be used to calculate the planned rainfall, because the differences between one method and another are not much different, but the most suitable method to use is the gumbell method because the planned rainfall value is greater.
