Eggshells become a huge waste and cause various environmental problems. One of the efforts that can be made to reduce this waste is to use it as a material in concrete. Cement and fine aggregate raw materials that are continuously used will eventually run out and are difficult to renew. This study aims to determine the slump value and compressive strength using eggshell waste as a substitute for cement and fine aggregate in concrete. Eggshells as a substitute for cement were in the oven at 105°C for 24 hours and then fired and the material that passed the No. sieve was taken. 200 (75 µm) and sieve number 4 for fine aggregate. The percentage of mixed eggshell content used was 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. The results showed that the slump and compressive strength decreased with increasing eggshell content in the concrete. This is caused by the size of the eggshell. The use of egg shells with a size of 4.75 mm as a substitute for fine aggregate is not recommended for concrete. The irregular shape of the eggshell is considered less capable of filling cavities and even causing cavities in concrete. The right size for using egg shells is in the range of 0.5 – 1 mm. Referring to these results, this study highlights the importance of choosing eggshell size as a substitute for fine aggregate. So that with proper utilization, egg shells can be utilized as a material substitute and improve the quality of concrete.
Pelindung Dinding Terhadap Hujan Asam Menggunakan Geopolimer Berbasis Nanosilika dan Cellulose Nanocrystals
Authors: Rahmawati Cut

Geopolymers have a weakness in durability against exposure to acid rain. Nano-silica and Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNCs) can be incorporated to enhance the acid rain resistance of geopolymers. This study aims to investigate the durability of geopolymer-based nano-silica and CNCs against exposure to acid rain. This study employed a rain simulation infiltration method. The concentrations of nano-silica and CNCs used were 4% and 1%, respectively. The compressive strength of the geopolymer specimens was tested before and after exposure to assess the effects of acid rain. Additionally, SEM and XRD tests were conducted to analyze microstructural changes. The results revealed a significant reduction in the compressive strength of the geopolymer without nano silica and CNCs (36.14% and 26.73% at pH 4 and 5, respectively). In contrast, the geopolymer paste containing nano-silica and CNCs exhibited lower reductions of 22.93% and 19.77% at pH 4 and 5, respectively. These findings indicate that the addition of nano-silica and CNCs contributes to the preservation of compressive strength. The observed effect is attributed to the ability of nano-silica and CNCs to impede acid attack on the geopolymer paste, thereby preventing the degradation of calcium levels present in the fly ash within the geopolymer. The strength degradation of the geopolymer paste resulted from the breakdown of Al–O, Si–O, and calcium bonds within the system, triggered by the reaction with H2SO4 from the acid rain. Nano-silica and CNCs-based geopolymers exhibit positive effects and can be utilized as a coating on the walls of buildings.

The cross-section area of a structural element plays a vital role in designing and planning processes. Each structural element must meet design criteria while maintaining an effective cross-sectional area, ensuring the structure is economical and lightweight. This Economic aspect refers to the structure's cost and weight, minimizing any lateral effects that may arise. This research aimed to determine the optimum cross-sectional for bamboo elements, with the objective of minimizing the weight of the space truss structure but still meets the design criteria. Four different cross-sectional areas of bamboo were used, 4272,566 mm2, 3382,71 mm2, 3084,259 mm2, and 2827,433 mm2. The optimization algorithm used is the binary dragonfly algorithm. There are two configurations of space truss structures considered, the first space truss structure is 25 members, and the second space truss is 32 members (pyramid module). The program was run four times to ensure the convergence and consistency of the results obtained. The results show that the weight of the first space truss structure is 86.98 kg while the weight of the second space truss structure is 64.6015 kg. The results can be considered optimal as the critical element's actual stress is close to the allowable stress. Therefore, the binary dragonfly algorithm can be an alternative method to optimize the cross-sectional area of structural element especially for space truss structure.

Calculation of excavation volume is one of the important activities in earthworks. Volume calculations are still done manually for some projects using Microsoft Office Excel. These calculations are time-consuming and prone to errors. The use of DTM-based 3D models in calculating excavation volume is an important thing that needs to be done for work efficiency. This study aims to determine the accuracy of the 3D-based Digital Terrain Method (DTM) in calculating excavation volume. The data used comes from a topographic survey of 64 points. Volume calculations were performed using the 2D Average End Area and 3D DTM-based methods (TIN and Kriging) using ArcGIS. The calculation results will be compared with the actual data from the project excavation volume report. The results show that the 3D volume calculation has fairly good accuracy compared to the traditional average end area method, with a difference of 1.01%. TIN can represent the results of the calculation of the excavation volume, which is quite good, with a difference of 1.33% to the actual volume and RMSE 107.49 m3. This is because the land surface under review is a mountainous area, where the formed surface tends to be uneven, and elevation changes sharply. This is in accordance with the characteristics of the DTM formed by TIN. So the selection of the most appropriate surface modeling method in mountainous areas is TIN. Using the TIN method can minimize the difference in volume calculations and increase the accuracy of soil volume calculations.

Road pavement quality is a critical factor in supporting a country's mobility and economy. Around 40% of the road length in Indonesia suffers damage, including permanent deformation and early cracking. To overcome road damage, it is important to know the pavement quality parameters such as Voids in Mineral Aggregate (VMA), Voids in Mix (VIM), and Voids Filled with Bitumen (VFB), along with the factors that influence them, such as material characteristics. This study aims to determine the effect of the fine and coarse aggregate ratio on volumetric parameters in asphalt mixtures, including VIM, VMA, and VFB. The experimental method was carried out on four samples. Aggregate characteristic tests were carried out, including gradation tests. Volumetric tests were carried out on each sample with asphalt content of 4%, 4.5%, and 5%. The research results show that the smaller fine-to-coarse aggregate ratio would increase the VMA and VIM values and decrease the VFB value. Aggregate ratio significantly affects volumetric parameters, which shows the importance of selecting aggregate with the right size distribution and determining the right ratio to achieve optimal pavement performance. The results of this study can be used as a practical guide for optimizing asphalt mix design with better quality and durability.

Uma Crítica Hayekiana à Burke e Emerick (2016)
Authors: Gaya Pedro Lages
Published: September 2024

Este trabalho examina uma pesquisa realizada por Burke e Emerick (2016) sobre a adaptação da agricultura dos EUA às mudanças climáticas. A crítica do estudo tem foco na utilização das teorias econômicas de Hayek, especialmente sobre o uso do conhecimento disperso na sociedade e a competição como um processo de descoberta. Os insights de Hayek revelam limitações relevantes na metodologia de Burke e Emerick, particularmente a incapacidade de seus modelos em capturar a complexidade e a especificidade do conhecimento e o papel dinâmico dos preços de mercado. Esta crítica argumenta que intervenções centralizadas poderiam minar a eficiência do mercado e a inovação, mostrando também um modelo elucidativo. Assim, sugere política de competição no mercado e os sinais de preços, para encorajar respostas adaptativas e inovadoras. A crítica destaca a importância de considerar o conhecimento disperso e os processos de mercado na formulação de estratégias de adaptação climática para a agricultura.

Although the topics of the research articles that are compiled in this book focus on a wide range of themes, such as the connection between school and museums, the use of radio as a schooling device for indigenous population or the unique architecture of Mennonite schools in the north of Mexico; they all share the same objective: to foster a debate regarding the relevance of heritage education.
Some of the texts are research articles, others document intervention experiences in different educational contexts, both formal and informal. Most of them narrate practices that were implemented in Mexican territory (specifically, the states of Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Mexico City and Baja California), except for one project that was conducted in Spain. The articles cover topics like the implications of educational heritage, its purpose, didactic orientations, devices, and places.
The book coordinators, Federico Mancera-Valencia and Eva Mayagoitia, prestigious Mexican researchers, argue that patrimonial education is in its gestational state, and, since it is a research field that is constantly evolving, it has its own tensions and contradictions. The book is composed of 12 chapters, created by authors of different backgrounds and fields: professors, researchers, educators, an archeologist, an anthropologist and a geographer, all of them with extensive experience in educational heritage. These articles are organized in four sections: a) Educational heritage: tensions and debates, b) Academic Cultural Heritage, c) Cultural Heritage of Indigenous Education and d) Museums, libraries and cultural heritage management.

Authors: Kononenko Lesia , Gai Oleksandr
Published: September 2024

The article notes that the use of digital technologies is a traditional audit practice. It is emphasized that today audit procedures are mostly carried out using MS Excel. It is substantiated that the inhibition of the introduction and use of modern digital technologies by auditors is caused by several factors. The main factors are the traditional inertia of accounting and analytical specialists, the existence of a gap between accounting education and practice, and the focus on navigation rather than interpretation of source data when teaching modern digital technologies. It is proved that one of the ways to intensify the introduction of modern digital technologies in the audit is to bridge the gap between education and practice. It is emphasized that this involves revising the educational programs of auditors and applying an interdisciplinary approach to form integrated thinking in the training of auditors.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES IN THE SPHERE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITY
Authors: Grynko T , Bazyk Oleksandr , Ivanov K.
Published: September 2024

The purpose of the article is to study the concepts of strategic management of human resources in the field of entrepreneurial activity. Strategic HRM builds the bridge between an organization’s business goals and the people who achieve them. In this tactical role, HR has a broader scope and must refocus its responsibilities. The focus becomes on equipping people to best support the direction in which the company is moving. These practices include hiring, promoting, and rewarding employees, creating and maintaining a high-performance business culture, and organizational design to add value and achieve competitive advantage. Strategic HRM focuses on creating a talent management system that manages behavior and culture to support the organization’s long-term business goals. HR has traditionally been considered an administrative function focused on specific tasks. It was distant from the activities of company management and was largely reactive. It met employee needs as they arose. However, it was not aware of where the company was going or anticipating what might happen. Traditional HRM answered employee questions about HR policies, but did not create policies based on the company's long-term goals or find ways to engage employees in them. With a strategic HRM plan, HR teams are more proactive because they are integrated into business strategies. They understand and are aligned with the company's goals. This involves planning and taking action to ensure the organization has the people it needs to achieve its goals. Gaining a competitive advantage - Knowing exactly where management wants to take the organization allows HR to focus on the skills and abilities employees need to do the work required to achieve the goal. Through effective talent management, training, and development, SHRM can result in a more competent and skilled workforce that will provide a competitive advantage over competitors. Adapting to change - A strategic approach to HRM means constantly looking to the future, allowing organizations to anticipate changes in the business environment and quickly adapt to them. Plans can be adjusted to take into account technological advances, changes in the market, or changing demographics within the company. In doing so, HR supports, motivates, and communicates with employees throughout the adjustments. Thus, the use of digital technologies in a company with young employees is a method of motivating and increasing the interest of young employees (especially Generation Z) in work. In addition, it is possible to note the positive impact of digitization of the personnel management process on the improvement of the company's HR brand.

The incidence of obesity among female adolescents and adults continues to rise in Indonesia, posing significant health risks, such as cardiovascular diseases. Female cadets at the Republic of Indonesia Defense University (RIDU) are reserve members in national defense, and their performance is correlated with their nutritional status; therefore, their nutritional status should be closely monitored. Anthropometric examination is a method for nutritional assessment that incorporates body fat percentage (BFP) as part of body composition analysis. Predictive models for BFP can help identify obesity rates within a population. In Indonesia, no research has focused on BFP prediction models specifically for female RIDU cadets. This study aimed to develop a model to estimate BFP in this group. Conducted in August 2021, the research employed a quantitative cross-sectional approach involving 108 female students aged 18 to 20 from RIDU who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The study analyzed the relationship between BFP (measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis, or BIA) and independent variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC). Pearson correlation tests and multivariate linear regression were used to create the prediction model. Findings showed an average BFP of 28.303% ± 6.37%. BMI had the strongest correlation with BFP (r = 0.722). The resulting predictive model is BFP = -94.055 + 39.064*WC + 1.073*age + 1.420*BMI, with an adjusted R square value of 0.535, indicating the model’s explanatory power. This study showed the first to predict BFP in female RIDU cadets. Age, BMI, and WC were predictors of BFP among female RIDU cadets.

Picralima nitida (Apocynaceae) is frequently used in ethnomedicine to manage various illnesses. The potential and safety of P. nitida aqueous, unripe fruit-pulp extract were assessed. Unripe P. nitida fruit pulp was cleaned, dried to a persistent mass, and crushed to powder. Then, it was immersed in distilled water for 72 h, filtered, and freeze-dried. The study involved six groups of rats, each with an average weight of 160–185 g, who were given 200–3000 mg/kg of pulp's aqueous extract daily for 35 days, with weekly measurements of weight, fasting blood glucose levels, and feed intake. Blood samples were obtained for biochemical tests, and certain organs underwent histopathological examination. A considerable (P > 0.05) increase in body weight was accompanied by a significant (P > 0.05) decrease in blood glucose and cholesterol levels. The relative organ weights did not differ significantly at a significance level of P > 0.05. ALT increased as doses of the extract rose. Serum electrolytes were altered at higher extract concentrations. The urea and creatinine concentrations were not appreciably changed. The hematological assessment revealed no variations in the quantity of leukocytes (total and differential), but there was a significant increase in hemoglobin at low doses. Histopathological studies revealed heart myocarditis, kidney tubular necrosis, liver hepatitis, pancreatitis, and bronchiolar mucosa ulceration in unripe P. nitida fruit pulp extract at a dosage of 3000 mg/kg body weight. The findings revealed that unripe P. nitida fruit pulp extract is relatively safe at low concentrations.
Anti-Angiogenic Activity of Sabungai (Gynura procumbens) using a Cancer-induced Chicken Embryo
Authors: Aterrado Armie Joyce P.
Published: September 2024

Cancer has been increasing over recent years and is considered the primary cause of mortality following cardiovascular disease. Angiogenesis, the biological process by which new blood vessels are generated, plays a crucial role in the growth and spread of tumors. The objective of this study was to assess the anti-angiogenic activity of different Sabungai (Gynura procumbens) leaf extract concentrations in the Chorioallantoic Membrane (CAM) of cancer-induced chicken embryos. The results of a one-way analysis of variance (25.20 ± 2.70, 27.20 ± 1.08, and 22.80 ± 1.66) indicated a statistically significant difference in CAM vascularization between the various treatments. Post hoc analysis utilizing Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) test revealed that Treatment 2 (300ppt) significantly affected CAM vascularization, as evidenced by an average vascularization count of 27.20 ± 1.08, followed by Treatment 1 (100ppt) and Treatment 3 (500ppt). The results indicated that the extract from Sabungai leaves effectively hinders the formation of new blood vessels in a dose-dependent manner. The highest concentration of leaf extract (500 ppt) resulted in an average vascularization of 22.80 ± 1.66. However, excessively high doses can cause bleeding and embryo death. The results demonstrated that sabungai leaf extract affected blood vessel development in chicken embryos. The results of this research have various implications that contribute to scientific knowledge and potential applications in cancer treatment.
Exploring the Relationship Between Energy Consumption and GDP: Evidence from Bangladesh
Authors: Islam Atiqul , Al Zabir Hassan Mithen
Published: September 2024

This research examines the causal relationship between per capita gross domestic product (PCGDP) and per capita energy consumption (PCEC) in Bangladesh over the period of 1971 to 2023. The ARDL bound testing approach indicates a statistically significant positive relationship between PCGDP and PCEC. The results also reveal that there is a one directional linkage running through PCEC to PCGDP. This indicates that an increase in energy consumption has a direct impact on GDP growth. This suggests that rather than energy conservation, priority to generate energy generation as a means of achieving higher GDP is needed for Bangladesh.
Theory of RF photonic spectral filters based on microcombs
Authors: Moss David
Published: September 2024

Microwave transversal filters, which are implemented based on the transversal filter structure in digital signal processing, offer a high reconfigurability for achieving a variety of signal processing functions without changing hardware. When implemented using microwave photonic (MWP) technologies, also known as MWP transversal filters, they provide competitive advantages over their electrical counterparts, such as low loss, large operation bandwidth, and strong immunity to electromagnetic interference. Recent advances in high-performance optical microcombs provide compact and powerful multi-wavelength sources for MWP transversal filters that require a larger number of wavelength channels to achieve high performance, allowing for the demonstration of a diverse range of filter functions with improved performance and new features. Here, we present a comprehensive performance analysis for microcomb-based MWP spectral filters based on the transversal filter approach. First, we investigate the theoretical limitations in the filter spectral response induced by finite tap numbers. Next, we analyze the distortions in the filter spectral response resulting from experimental error sources. Finally, we assess the influence of input signal’s bandwidth on the filtering errors. These results provide a valuable guide for the design and optimization of microcomb-based MWP transversal filters for a variety of applications.

Published: September 2024

Ransomware attacks have emerged as a dominant cybersecurity threat, with increasingly sophisticated techniques that often evade traditional detection methods. A novel framework is proposed that synergizes the predictive strengths of deep learning models with the dynamic decision-making capabilities of Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), providing a comprehensive solution to the challenges posed by evolving ransomware variants. Through rigorous evaluation, the hybrid framework demonstrated a significant improvement in detection accuracy while reducing false positives, outperforming conventional machine learning models. The integration of MCTS allowed for the exploration of multiple decision paths, enhancing the system’s adaptability to novel threats in real time. Additionally, the proposed model maintained computational efficiency, making it feasible for real-time deployment in enterprise environments. The results demonstrate the hybrid model's potential as a robust defense mechanism in modern cybersecurity, offering a scalable and efficient tool for mitigating ransomware threats.
Political Trust and Redistribution Preferences
Authors: Devine Daniel
Published: September 2024

How does political trust influence policy preferences? A large literature posits that trust is vital for supporting governments in managing fundamental societal challenges and investing in long-term policy making. This paper investigates the relationship between political trust and policy preferences, specifically redistribution preferences. Through four pre-registered, original survey experiments conducted over two years in the UK and long-term panel data spanning 19 years in Switzerland, I demonstrate that political trust has an insignificant and negligible impact on individuals’ preferences for redistribution, even when trust is experimentally manipulated under theoretically favourable conditions. By combining two designs with improved causal identification than the existing literature, these results challenge prevailing theories linking political trust and policy preferences and highlight the need for further examination of the complex dynamics between citizens’ attitudes and support for government policy.
