Authors: Attara Sephia Caesaria , Tyas Intan Kinanthi Damarin , Amin Khoirul , Paramitha Devy Indah
Published: August 2024

This research aims to examine the influence of acceptance of LGBT people in Thailand on the development of LGBT social movements in Indonesia, as well as identify the challenges faced by LGBT people in Indonesia. Using the New Social Movement and Network Social Movement approaches, this research explores the role of social networks and the cultural, religious, and traditional factors that influence public acceptance of LGBT people in both countries. A qualitative method with a descriptive approach was used to analyze secondary data obtained from various sources, including official documents, books, scientific journals, and previous research reports. The results show that LGBT acceptance in Thailand, influenced by cultural values and Buddhism, has created a more inclusive environment for LGBT people. More inclusive policies, such as anti-discrimination laws, as well as positive representations of LGBT people in the media and popular culture in Thailand, triggered the emergence of social movements supporting LGBT rights in Southeast Asia, including in Indonesia. However, in Indonesia, LGBT social movements face greater challenges due to the strong cultural and religious traditions of conservative Islam. As a result, it has been difficult for LGBT social movements to gain widespread acceptance, and discrimination and stigma against LGBT people remain strong. Nonetheless, the positive influence of Thailand helps motivate LGBT activists in Indonesia to continue fighting for their rights through advocacy, campaigns and public education.

Management of Soil Structures
Authors: Naorem Anandkumar
Published: August 2024

"Volume 02, dedicated to the Management of Soil Structure. In this volume, we will discuss on a comprehensive exploration of soil structure, laying the foundation for understanding its importance, classification, and the physics behind it. We begin by unravelling the basic definitions of soil structure and related terms, providing readers with a solid conceptual framework for further exploration. From aggregates and peds to soil horizons and profiles, we delve into the terminology that forms the backbone of soil science, ensuring clarity and coherence throughout our discussions. The importance of soil structure cannot be overstated. It serves as the physical foundation upon which healthy soil ecosystems thrive, influencing water retention, nutrient distribution, root penetration, and overall soil health. By understanding the role of soil structure in regulating these essential processes, we gain insights into the mechanisms driving soil fertility, biological activity, and ecosystem resilience. Classification of soil structure provides a systematic framework for characterizing and categorizing soil types based on their physical properties. From granular to blocky, platy to prismatic, soil structure classifications offer valuable insights into soil behaviour, management practices, and potential constraints. By familiarizing ourselves with these classifications, we can better assess soil quality, diagnose issues, and devise tailored management strategies to optimize soil health and productivity. Behind the intricate patterns of soil structure lies a fascinating realm of physics, where forces of cohesion, adhesion, and capillarity interact to shape soil particles into aggregates of varying sizes and shapes. By exploring the physics behind soil structure, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of soil behaviour and the dynamic interplay between soil particles, water, and air. Indeed, the insights and knowledge shared within this volume serve as the foundation for countless research endeavours in soil health and management. Soil physical health presents unique challenges, as it is relatively difficult to manage and is influenced by a myriad of factors, including soil texture, compaction, moisture content, and environmental conditions. In many parts of the world, soil physical constraints pose significant barriers to agricultural productivity, ecosystem sustainability, and land use management. By addressing these constraints and enhancing soil physical health, we can unlock the potential of soils to support thriving ecosystems, sustainable agriculture, and resilient communities. "

Conservation Agriculture and Ecology: Evolving Perception at Farmers Level
Authors: Mandal Anwesha , Acharya Sankar Kr
Published: August 2024

"The global agriculture industry is currently facing serious threats, which have arisen from the promotion of unsustainable farming practices over an extended period, resulting in significant disruptions to ecological systems and their related functions. The complexity of this problem is further compounded by the unpredictable pace of global warming and climate change. By 2050, India is projected to support a massive population of 1.6 billion people with limited land resources and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. Approximately 68% of Indias land mass is experiencing severe depletion of organic carbon, which has had a detrimental impact on crop productivity. Water availability for agricultural purposes is also rapidly decreasing. In the 1950s, the per capita availability of water was 500 cubic meters per year, but it has since declined to just 1,700 cubic meters per capita per year. Intensive farming practices are causing the erosion of 10-15 tons of topsoil per hectare of crop land in India. In light of these bleak facts, it is imperative that we adopt conservation agriculture to address these issues from both an ecological and economic perspective. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the trend of conservation agriculture and its evolving perception among farmers in two distinct agro-climatic zones of Bengal, namely the terai and the new alluvial zones. It has drawn upon well-structured research on conservation agriculture and its implementation and responsibilities as perceived by practicing farmers in these regions. It is my expectation and belief that this book will appeal to a global audience, including scholars, faculty members, and policymakers. "

Authors: Sevilla Reñazco Jardiel Steven , Alemán Lainez Kelly Mishel , Pérez Lacayo Chelssy del Socorro , Delgado Méndez Marco Antonio
Published: August 2024

Introducción: En general el ionómero de vidrio sufre afectaciones en el área clínica, como es la solubilidad a la propia saliva que se encuentra en la cavidad oral, la solubilidad influye en la perdida de integración marginal, propiedades de superficie y estética lo que conlleva a un fracaso del tratamiento restaurativo. Objetivo: Esta investigación tuvo como propósito comparar la solubilidad de dos ionómeros de vidrio sumergidos en salivar artificial por un lapso de 21 días. Método: Se realizo un estudio experimental in vitro, donde se elaboraron 15 pastillas de ionómero de vidrio Ketac Molar Easymix® y 15 de GC Gold Label 2, se dividieron en 3 pastillas de cada ionómero obteniendo 5 grupos de 3 pastillas por ionómero, se realizó un tarado para no afectar el peso exclusivo del grupo de 3 pastillas, para luego ser realizada una medición de peso con una balanza analítica a cada grupo de pastillas. Posterior a eso cada grupo de 3 pastillas fue sumergido en saliva artificial de la marca KIN Hidrat durante 21 días para volver a ser pesadas después de su cuidadoso secado, evaluando la pérdida de peso de cada grupo por sumersión en saliva artificial en porcentaje. Resultados: El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante Excel. Se creó una base de datos y se aplicó la prueba de normalidad de Shapiro Wilk, que mostró que ambos grupos tenían una distribución normal y muestras homogéneas. El porcentaje de diferencia de peso por la sumersión en saliva artificial tuvo una media del 3.18% para Ketac Molar Easymix ® y del 4.012% para GC Gold Label 2. Se aplicó tambien la prueba t students para muestras independientes para comparar los grupos de diferencia de peso en porcentaje. Aunque el nivel de significancia fue de 0.55, indicando que no había una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en las medias de los grupos de los dos tipos de ionómeros, resaltamos que, desde una perspectiva clínica y práctica, cada muestra representaba que tres pastillas de ionómero de vidrio de la misma marca y frasco habían ganado peso significativamente. Esto sugiere que puede haber una relevancia clínica en la aplicación de los ionómeros. Conclusión: El estudio in vitro concluye que el ionómero de vidrio GC Gold Label 2 fue el que obtuvo mayor solubilidad representada en porcentaje después de los 21 días de sumersión en saliva artificial y el estudio encontró que ambos ionómeros de vidrio mostraron ganancia de peso significativa después de la sumersión en saliva artificial, y aunque el análisis estadístico no mostró  una diferencia significativa entre los dos grupos, los resultados pueden tener implicaciones prácticas importantes en la aplicación de estos materiales en el uso clínico.

Scrub typhus is a mite-borne infectious disease caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, an obligate intracellularbacterium. The disease is of greatest public health importance in rural areas of Asia and the Western Pacific Islands. Theclinical manifestations range from subclinical disease to organ failure. The chief target of organism is the vascular endotheliumof various organs. There is inflammation in and around the blood vessels that causes endothelial damage resulting invascular leakage and organ dysfunction. Case report: A 70-year-old female patient, farmer by occupation, presented tous with features of acute febrile illness and shortness of breath and was diagnosed as scrub typhus with myocarditis. Shesubsequently developed gangrene of right little finger. The patient was investigated for infectious and noninfectious causesof vasculitis leading to gangrene. We established that the cause for gangrene was scrub typhus as evidenced by presence ofeschar and positive serology. Conclusion: We report for the first time a case of scrub typhus complicated by both myocarditisand gangrene. Both myocarditis and unidigital gangrene are unusual complications of scrub typhus. Hence, scrub typhusshould be ruled out in patients who present with these complications.

Good Corporate Governance and Nahdliyah Religious Value for Strengthening Zakat Payer Trust: Case Study of Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) Community in Indonesia
Authors: Santoso Bedjo , Ahmad Khaliq , Wan Jusoh Wan Noor Hazlina
Published: August 2024

The research explores factors influencing Zakat payers' trust in Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles, specifically the Nahdliyah religious value (NRV) derived from some theories and concepts aiming to address research gaps in Zakat. This research used quantitative methods involving 750 respondents Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) administrators as Zakat payers throughout Indonesia consisting of 552 districts. NU, the largest community in Indonesia, faces low Zakat capability. This research proposes a new concept, combining Social Identity Theory, Resource Advantage Theory, and the origin of NU values, 'Mabaadi Khaira Ummah', to revive the principles towards the best generation and build NRV as novelty. This research identifies four variables that influence the trust of Zakat payers: NRV, GCG elements (accountability - AC, transparency- TR, and credibility - CR). The findings show that AC and TR do not have a real impact to ZPT as they are only significant at the 10% level, but not significant at the 5% level. CR does not affect ZPT. However, the three variables (AC, TR, and CR) affect ZPT if mediated by NRV, which has significant effect on ZPT. Additionally, the results indicate that NRV acts as full mediation, meaning AC, TR, and CR affect ZPT only through NRV. The new concept of NRV is powerful, fills the theoretical gap and offers a new perspective on religious values in the theory of resource superiority and social identity theory as applied in certain religious fields such as Zakat, as an obligation in Islam.  NRV addresses relationships between variables and contributes to the development of trust in Zakat. In addition, NRV can be used to trigger the NU community to increase the volume of Zakat.

In recent years, the integration of sustainable principles into the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) for efficient waste management has gained significant attention. This paper provides an overview of advancements in multi-objective mathematical programming (MP) models and the optimization techniques for sustainable waste management practices within the VRP framework. Sustainable waste management practices in the context of the VRP involve optimizing routes and schedules aim to reduce the environmental impact of waste collection. It investigates the integration of multi-objectives with sustainability criteria, including social, economic, and environmental considerations. Furthermore, it surveys various optimization methodologies applied in waste management to enhance efficiency and sustainability practices. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was employed as a formal systematic review guideline for data gathering. Data was obtained from studies conducted between 2017 and 2023. The analysis included a total of 18 papers from online sources and databases. Based on the literature review, it has been observed that the majority of the research focused on employing Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) models to tackle the optimization problem for waste management. The literature survey demonstrated significant contributions in computational performance, cost-effectiveness, operational efficiency, and utilization of real-world data by improving the solution approaches, aiming to prioritize economic, social, and environmentally friendly solutions. The paper aims to serve as a convenient reference for researchers and practitioners seeking information on using the MP model and solution approaches to optimize VRP for waste management.

Solving hyperchaotic initial value problems using second derivative extended trapezoidal rule of the second kind blended with generalized backward differentiation formulae with variable step size
Authors: Onoja E. J. , Sirisena U. W.
Published: August 2024

This paper aims to evaluate the accuracy and performance of the second derivative block extended trapezoidal rule of the second kind, blended with generalized backward differentiation formulae using variable step sizes, in solving hyperchaotic initial value problems. Hyperchaotic systems, known for their rapidly changing solutions and extreme sensitivity to initial conditions, pose significant challenges for numerical methods. Traditional approaches often involve linearizing the systems or solving them in multiple sub-intervals, followed by combining the results. However, these methods can introduce errors due to the subdivision of intervals. The proposed method, which integrates the second derivative block extended trapezoidal rule with generalized backward differentiation formulae, offers a more precise solution by eliminating the need for interval subdivision and direct linearization. The continuous formulation of this method is derived using a multistep inversion technique that blends two linear multistep methods, while the discrete schemes are deduced from their continuous interpolants. Convergence analyses of these schemes are presented, demonstrating the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed block methods. As a result, these methods are well-suited for solving hyperchaotic and other nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
