Recent Advances in the Remediation of Textile-Dye-Containing Wastewater: Prioritizing Human Health and Sustainable Wastewater Treatment
Authors: Periyasamy Aravin Prince
Published: January 2024

Water makes up most of the Earth, although just 0.3% is usable for people and animals. The huge oceans, icecaps, and other non-potable water resources make up the remaining 99.7%. Water quality has declined in recent decades due to pollution from population growth, industry, unplanned urbanization, and poor water management. The textile industry has significant global importance, although it also stands as a major contributor to wastewater generation, leading to water depletion and ecotoxicity. This issue arises from the extensive utilization of harmful chemicals, notably dyes. The main aim of this review article is to combine and assess the impacts of textile wastewater that contains dyes and chemicals, and to examine their potential consequences on human health, aquatic health, and the environment. Moreover, the dedicated section presents an in-depth review of various environmentally sustainable approaches for the management and treatment of wastewater in the textile industry. These approaches encompass bio adsorbents, biological methods, membrane technology, ion exchange, advanced oxidation processes, as well as physicochemical and biochemical processes. Furthermore, this study also evaluates the contemporary progressions in this particular domain, taking into account the corresponding advantages and disadvantages. Finally, this article highlights the significance of recovering and reusing dyes, alkalis, and electrolytes in wastewater treatment. Additionally, it emphasizes the necessity of performing technoeconomic analyses and life cycle assessments (LCA) on wastewater treatment plants.
Bridging Housing and Climate Needs: Bamboo Construction in the Philippines
Authors: Bundi Timo , Lopez Luis Felipe , Habert Guillaume , Zea Escamilla Edwin
Published: January 2024

The Philippines faces a significant shortage of affordable housing, and with the growing urgency brought by climate change, there is a pressing need for more sustainable and affordable building solutions. One promising option is cement bamboo frame buildings, which blend traditional bamboo building methods with modern materials. This approach is already being implemented in social housing projects in the Philippines. Dynamic lifecycle assessment (DLCA) calculations show that these bamboo buildings can effectively reduce overall CO2 emissions. Before a building’s end of life, biogenic effects offset approximately 43% of its total production emissions, while the temporary carbon storage afforded by these biogenic materials further reduces total emissions by 14%. In comparison to concrete brick buildings, bamboo constructions reduce emissions by 70%. Transforming an unmanaged bamboo plantation into a managed plantation can potentially triple the capacity for long-term CO2 storage in biogenic materials and further reduce net emissions by replacing concrete with bamboo as the main construction material. Thus, bamboo construction offers a potent, economically viable carbon offsetting strategy for social housing projects.
On Some Aspects of the Courant-Type Algebroids, the Related Coadjoint Orbits and Integrable Systems
Authors: Prykarpatski Anatolij K. , Bovdi Victor A.
Published: January 2024

Poisson structures related to affine Courant-type algebroids are analyzed, including those related with cotangent bundles on Lie-group manifolds. Special attention is paid to Courant-type algebroids and their related R structures generated by suitably defined tensor mappings. Lie–Poisson brackets that are invariant with respect to the coadjoint action of the loop diffeomorphism group are created, and the related Courant-type algebroids are described. The corresponding integrable Hamiltonian flows generated by Casimir functionals and generalizing so-called heavenly-type differential systems describing diverse geometric structures of conformal type in finite dimensional Riemannian manifolds are described.

Army installation commanders need timely weather information to make installation closure decisions before or during adverse weather events (e.g., hail, thunderstorms, snow, and floods). We worked with the military installation in Fort Carson, CO, and used their Weather Warning, Watch, and Advisory (WWA) criteria list to establish the foundation for our algorithm. We divided the Colorado Springs area into 2300 grids (2.5 square kilometers areas) and grouped the grids into ten microclimates, geographically and meteorologically unique regions, per pre-defined microclimate regions provided by the Fort Carson Air Force Staff Weather Officers (SWOs). Our algorithm classifies each weather event in the WWA list using the National Weather Service’s and National Digital Forecast Database’s data. Our algorithm assigns each event a criticality level: none, advisory, watch, or warning. The traffic network data highlight the importance of each road segment for travel to and from Fort Carson. The algorithm also uses traffic network data to assign weight to each grid, which enables the aggregation to the region and installation levels. We developed a weather dashboard in ArcGIS Pro to verify our algorithm and visualize the forecasted warnings for the grids and regions that are or may be affected by weather events.

Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important crop in Argentina. Aspergillus section Flavi can infect this crop at the pre-harvest stage, and the harvested grains can be contaminated with aflatoxins (AFs). During the production of bioethanol from maize, AF levels can increase up to three times in the final co-products, known as, dry and wet distiller’s grain with solubles (DDGS and WDGS), intended for animal feed. Fungal enzymes like laccases can be a useful tool for reducing AF contamination in the co-products obtained from this process. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of laccase enzymes included in enzymatic extracts (EE) produced by different species in the Basidiomycota phylum to reduce AF (AFB1 and AFB2) accumulation under the conditions of in vitro assays. Four laccase activities (5, 10, 15, and 20 U/mL) exerted by nine isolates were evaluated in the absence and presence of vanillic acid (VA), serving as a laccase redox mediator for the degradation of total AFs. The enzymatic stability in maize steep liquor (MSL) was confirmed after a 60 h incubation period. The most effective EE in terms of reducing AF content in the buffer was selected for an additional assay carried out under the same conditions using maize steep liquor obtained after the saccharification stage during the bioethanol production process. The highest degradation percentages were observed at 20 U/mL of laccase enzymatic activity and 1 mM of VA, corresponding to 26% for AFB1 and 26.6% for AFB2. The present study provides valuable data for the development of an efficient tool based on fungal laccases for preventing AF accumulation in the co-products of bioethanol produced from maize used for animal feed.
Mechanisms of Yellow Fever Transmission: Gleaning the Overlooked Records of Importance and Identifying Problems, Puzzles, Serious Issues, Surprises and Research Questions
Authors: Kuno Goro
Published: January 2024

In viral disease research, few diseases can compete with yellow fever for the volume of literature, historical significance, richness of the topics and the amount of strong interest among both scientists and laypersons. While the major foci of viral disease research shifted to other more pressing new diseases in recent decades, many critically important basic tasks still remain unfinished for yellow fever. Some of the examples include the mechanisms of transmission, the process leading to outbreak occurrence, environmental factors, dispersal, and viral persistence in nature. In this review, these subjects are analyzed in depth, based on information not only in old but in modern literatures, to fill in blanks and to update the current understanding on these topics. As a result, many valuable facts, ideas, and other types of information that complement the present knowledge were discovered. Very serious questions about the validity of the arbovirus concept and some research practices were also identified. The characteristics of YFV and its pattern of transmission that make this virus unique among viruses transmitted by Ae. aegypti were also explored. Another emphasis was identification of research questions. The discovery of a few historical surprises was an unexpected benefit.

Published: January 2024

The introduction of three single nucleotide mutations into the genome of the virulent RVFV ZH548 strain allows for the rescue of a fully attenuated virus in mice (ZH548-rA2). These mutations are located in the viral genes encoding the RdRp and the non-structural protein NSs. This paper shows the results obtained after the subcutaneous inoculation of ZH548-rA2 in adult sheep and the subsequent challenge with the parental virus (ZH548-rC1). Inoculation with the ZH548-rA2 virus caused no detectable clinical or pathological effect in sheep, whereas inoculation of the parental rC1 virus caused lesions compatible with viral infection characterised by the presence of scattered hepatic necrosis. Viral infection was confirmed via immunohistochemistry, with hepatocytes within the necrotic foci appearing as the main cells immunolabelled against viral antigen. Furthermore, the inoculation of sheep with the rA2 virus prevented the liver damage expected after rC1 virus inoculation, suggesting a protective efficacy in sheep which correlated with the induction of both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses.

Published: January 2024

Rift Valley fever is a zoonotic viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, impacting both humans and livestock. Currently, there are no approved vaccines or antiviral treatments for humans. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro efficacy of chemical compounds targeting the Gc fusion mechanism. These compounds were identified through virtual screening of millions of commercially available small molecules using a structure-based artificial intelligence bioactivity predictor. In our experiments, a pretreatment with small molecule compounds revealed that 3 out of 94 selected compounds effectively inhibited the replication of the Rift Valley fever virus MP-12 strain in Vero cells. As anticipated, these compounds did not impede viral RNA replication when administered three hours after infection. However, significant inhibition of viral RNA replication occurred upon viral entry when cells were pretreated with these small molecules. Furthermore, these compounds exhibited significant inhibition against Arumowot virus, another phlebovirus, while showing no antiviral effects on tick-borne bandaviruses. Our study validates AI-based virtual high throughput screening as a rational approach for identifying effective antiviral candidates for Rift Valley fever virus and other bunyaviruses.

Published: January 2024

Currently, there is a limited supply of freshwater on a worldwide scale, and finding effective ways to use agricultural freshwater resources has become a widely discussed subject. To investigate the most suitable crops and the efficient use of water resources in dry regions, we performed a comparison study of water consumption between two common crops, maize and sunflowers, in the irrigation area located on the south bank of the Yellow River in Northwest China. Both sunflowers and maize have diverse water sources at various reproductive phases. We discovered that sunflower predominantly consumes 0–50 cm soil water throughout the reproductive cycle, whereas maize mostly utilizes 0–50 cm soil water in the early reproductive phase and 50–90 cm soil water in the late reproductive period. The comparison of yield sustainability between sunflowers and maize demonstrated that sunflowers exhibited more resilience than maize when subjected to the same level of water decrease. Sunflowers’ yield sustainability score stayed consistently over 0.95, while maize had a lowest score of 0.84. We observed via correlation analysis that it was the fraction of subsurface water contribution and the water contribution of the 50~70 cm soil layer that impacted the yield of sunflowers and maize, with coefficients of 0.88 or higher. Ultimately, sunflowers exhibited a lower level of responsiveness to water scarcity compared to maize. Sunflowers have greater drought tolerance compared to maize since they rely less on soil layers replenished by a limited water supply. Based on our findings, sunflowers are well suited to arid conditions and limited spaces that do not have access to irrigation, while maize is better suited to well-watered conditions and expansive cultivation areas.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to determine the "batch size" and "epoch" parameters of the SRGAN (Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network) Model that best improve the quality of images from the Second Generation Geostationary Meteorological Satellites. The datasets used for training the model consisted of two hundred images from this satellite, including one hundred low-resolution images and one hundred corresponding high-resolution images. The images were captured by the same meteorological satellite at the same moments but in two different resolutions (low and high resolution). 80 pairs of images were used for model training, and the remaining 20 pairs were used for testing. For each combination of batch size and epoch parameters, the trained model generated an image, which was then compared to the expected high-resolution image using the PSNR metric. The PSNR evolution curves as a function of these parameters taken independently (the other parameters of the SRGAN model were set to default) helped find the optimal values for batch size and epoch.

Published: January 2024

It is important to develop accurate and reliable lightning prediction system that can be contributed towards the safety of life, both concerning forecasting for the public safety and safety of aviation and electrical power. This study aims to evaluate WRF-based Lightning Potential Index(LPI) lightning parameterization and its applicability for predicting lightning over Sri Lanka during the second inter-monsoon. The WRF-ARW model 3.9.1 was used to produce predictions for three lightning events with various physical parameterization schemes with two nested domains with a resolution of 12km and 4km respectively. The model simulated LPI values were evaluated using the Earth Networks Global Lightning (ENGLN) dataset. Results show corresponding lightning simulations were produced with spatial distribution aligned with ground-based lightning data. Results consistently show a high correlation of the LPI index with an hourly CG flash rate over the three cases. Moreover, the WRF model was able to capture the lightning using LPI in Sri Lanka, suggesting that it can be used operationally to predict lightning potential region.

Published: January 2024

Bangladesh has launched the mass rapid transit (MRT) service for the first time in the transportation sector. The MRT has significantly brought access to instantaneous communication in one of the congested cities, Dhaka. Since the service is a brand-new offering in Bangladesh, there is a complete gap in research in this sector. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of service quality dimensions on passengers’ satisfaction with MRT in Bangladesh. The researchers used a convenient sampling method and collected primary data from 251 respondents who consumed the MRT service frequently. Using the reliable software Smart PLS 3.0, the data were analyzed. The researchers have examined Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, and average variance extracted (AVE) to test the reliability and validity of the collected data. This study finds that the constructs namely tangibility, responsiveness, assurance, hedonic motivation, and price value are significant in determining passengers’ satisfaction with MRT. Price value is more significant followed by hedonic motivation and responsiveness. In contrast, statistics reveal that reliability and empathy are insignificant in nature.

Meaning in EFL textbooks delivered to Chilean public schools: knowledge construction from a Systemic Functional approach
Authors: Lizasoain Andrea , Vargas Jorge
Published: January 2024

This study examines the knowledge built through the 1st and 2nd-grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used in Chilean public schools. From a linguistic perspective, knowledge is addressed as meaning, developed through the selection of linguistic resources that a given language offers. Textbooks are fundamental in teaching and learning a foreign language, because they provide a great part of these resources; consequently, it is essential to understand how meaning begins to be built and develops through the curriculum. With that aim, with a mixed-method approach and from a Systemic Functional Linguistics perspective, we examined the lexical resources employed in textbooks that contribute to the construction of meaning. We conducted discourse analysis to identify the relations among lexical items and the kind of knowledge they build. Corpus analysis was used to estimate how lexical complexity increases from one level to the next. We found that the two books build commonsense knowledge, corresponding to what children know about the world in their mother tongue. We also found that lexical complexity increases from one book to the other, thus enlarging learners’ repertoire of words in English.
"Make our people great again": el pueblo según presidentes progresistas latinoamericanos (2005-2011)
Authors: Rosillo-Villena Juan Carlos
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo analiza treinta y dos eventos discursivos de cinco presidentes progresistas latinoamericanos, Cristina Fernández, Evo Morales, Michelle Bachelet, Rafael Correa y Tabaré Vásquez, entre 2005 y 2011, con el objeto de determinar los componentes y funciones estratégicas del discurso político sobre la noción de pueblo que estos expresan. Siguiendo las premisas de los estudios críticos del discurso aplicamos un modelo dinámico de tres dimensiones de análisis compuesto por: a) sociohistórica, b) interpretativa y, c) discursiva. Los resultados indican que los componentes descriptivo e interpelativo son los más frecuentes, referidos a evaluación de la situación nacional, y prescriptivo en cuanto a la meta de superar el modelo neoliberal, particularmente a nivel político pues no hay un proyecto económico alternativo al capitalismo. La noción de pueblo posee una función básicamente legitimadora del progresismo frente a la democracia liberal.
Infancia e interpelaciones éticas: del presente transicional al pasado dictatorial en "Señales de nosotros" de Lina Meruane
Authors: Contreras Candia Leticia
Published: January 2024

A propósito de la conmemoración de los 50 años del golpe cívico-militar y el inquietante negacionismo impulsado por varios sectores de la sociedad que esperan dar vuelta la página para mirar hacia el futuro, el presente artículo plantea la necesidad de leer Señales de nosotros (2023) de Lina Meruane bajo dos líneas interpretativas. Por un lado, comprender que el ejercicio ficcional elaborado por la escritora chilena explora críticamente las formas de representar el pasado dictatorial desde un presente enunciativo ligado a la matriz simbólico-cultural de la Transición. Por otra parte, Señales de nosotros problematiza la responsabilidad ética de los/las infantes y adolescentes que vivieron en el contexto de una dictadura, regulada por condiciones de producción normativa y violencia política. Nos proponemos rastrear analíticamente los indicios o señales escriturales que nos permitan corroborar nuestras hipótesis de lectura a través de tres imágenes-códigos: una memoria autoficcionada, constelaciones familiares e imaginarios pedagógicos-culturales.
Paisajes semióticos de protesta y recontextualización de memorias históricas durante la revuelta social chilena (2019-2020)
Authors: Cárdenas-Neira Camila , Pérez-Arredondo Carolina
Published: January 2024

Este artículo aborda la construcción de paisajes semióticos alrededor de dos plazas del centro y sur del país, durante la revuelta social del 18 de octubre de 2019 en Chile. Considerando aportes de la Sociolingüística y los Estudios Críticos del Discurso, se identifican, describen y ejemplifican procesos de señalización de la protesta en estos espacios urbanos a partir de un corpus de 125 fotografías. El análisis revela que esos paisajes articulan referentes provenientes de la memoria histórica vinculada a la dictadura civil-militar (1973-1990). Se destacan inscripciones alusivas a la represión estatal y subsecuentes violaciones a los derechos humanos perpetradas por agentes policiales y militares, con las cuales se recontextualizaron experiencias traumáticas transversales a ambos periodos históricos, relacionadas con la tortura y la violencia sexual. Estas memorias fueron resignificadas por las generaciones actuales con una impronta liberadora y combativa, empleando las murallas como canales de comunicación intergeneracional y negociación de marcos interpretativos sobre el pasado reciente.
JURIDICAL ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC INFORMATION DISCLOSURE IN GOVERNMENT SYSTEMS IN THE DIGITAL ERA
Authors: Karimullah Suud Sarim , Sugitanata Arif , Elmurtadho Fawwaz
Published: January 2024

This article conducts a juridical analysis of public information disclosure in government systems in the digital era. The purpose of compiling this article is to identify legal issues related to public information disclosure in the digital era and provide appropriate legal solutions to overcome these problems. The research method used is a literature study by analyzing laws and regulations related to public information disclosure, as well as collecting the latest data and information about the use of information technology in government in a descriptive-analytical manner. The study results show that public information disclosure is a basic principle in a democratic government system that is fundamental for strengthening government accountability and encouraging public participation in policy-making. In the digital era, public information disclosure is becoming increasingly important, but it also requires the protection of information security and privacy because public information disclosure in the digital era has complex legal implications, such as issues of information security, personal data protection, and copyright issues. This article suggests that the government strengthen regulations regarding public information disclosure in the digital era, including developing strict information security standards and protecting intellectual property rights. In addition, the government also needs to increase public awareness about their right to obtain public information and develop an effective and efficient information system to facilitate access to public information.
The Impact Of Law Number 16 Of 2019 Marriage Dispensation And Child Marriage Gap
Authors: Nurfieni Amrin
Published: January 2024

Child marriage in Indonesia is quite high. Child marriage is a form of violence against children and is a practice that violates children's basic rights as outlined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Child marriage limits access to essential services, including education and health services, and can have long-term negative impacts on children's well-being and life chances. The legal age limit for marriage in Indonesia is a minimum of 19 years. However, one of the policies in the Marriage Law is a loophole that supports the legality of child marriages, through the granting of dispensations by the Court. The number of requests for marriage dispensation at the Ambarawa Religious Court continues to increase. This data is a reference for the author in studying the impact of the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2019, an amendment to Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, on children. This research uses normative juridical methodology, namely reviewing court decisions. As a finding, one of the impacts of the enactment of Law Number 16 of 2019 which amends Law Number 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is the increase in the number of requests for marriage dispensation at the Ambarawa District Court, Semarang Regency. This increase reached 337%, with the average number of applications per month increasing from 7.44 to 25.07. Changes in the marriage age as stated in Article 7 regarding the minimum marriage age of 19 years are not effective in reducing the number of child marriages. So it is necessary to optimize the implementation of Supreme Court Regulation Number 5 of 2019 concerning Guidelines for Granting Marriage Dispensations to ensure that judges have clear procedures and structured steps in adjudicating marriage dispensation cases.

Authors: Martoyo Martoyo , Jabbar Abdul
Published: January 2024

This research was conducted on the Mangar society who have a system of cooperation in the form of "paroan agreements" which can be categorized as creative in drafting and implementing agreements. The social system of the Mangar society is quite interesting to explore because in the midst of a very exploitative agricultural and livestock management system, the Mangar society remains consistent in upholding justice by placing the position of farm laborers in a balanced way both in terms of roles and the distribution of benefits from managing the farm. The research method used in this research is qualitative research or field research. The results of this study indicate: (1) The paroan agreement form of the Mangar society is an oral agreement; (2) Implementation of the paroan agreement begins with an agreement between the two parties, namely the land owner and the manager. Then the implementation starts from clearing the land to harvesting; (3) The meaning of justice in the paroan agreement can be seen from: first, equal opportunity to help each other and obtain welfare between the parties. Second, there is a balance of rights and obligations. Third, there is appreciation based on the principle of mutual need. Fourth, in the distribution of profits based on mutually agreed agreements.

Published: January 2024

The article focuses on the study of the thermal properties of pine wood, a material traditionally used in construction, especially in Poland. The trend towards sustainable construction necessitates a deeper analysis of its properties. Due to the insufficient amount of data in the literature on the thermal conductivity of pine wood, detailed studies were conducted taking into account different wood densities. Seasoned wood samples were subjected to various processes and tests, measuring the heat conduction coefficient under different conditions. These results are relevant in the context of sustainable construction and will assist in further research on wood as a building material. The studies also took into account the effects of temperature and humidity on the thermal properties of wood, which is crucial for its application in various environmental conditions.

Published: January 2024

This paper explores the prospects of Asian American book-to-movie adaptations in the Hollywood industry. There have been a large number of book-to-movie adaptations in the history of the American film industry, such as Great Expectation (1946), The Silence of the Lamb (1991), and The Great Gatsby (2013) to mention just a few. Some have also been reported to gain fame and economic success in the global film market. The mentioned book-to-movie adaptations were based on Western authors. Meanwhile, history has witnessed the emergence of Asian American writers such as: Bharati Mukherjee, Amy Tan, Khaled Hosseini, Anchee Min, among others who have played an essential role in the field of American literature. This paper uses a qualitative method by analyzing data from selected Book-to movie adaptations. It is evident that some of them received prestigious awards. Tan’s book-to-movie adaptation The Joy Luck Club (1993), Hosseini’s book-to-movie adaptation The Kite Runner (2007) and Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians (2018) have entered Hollywood to participate in the extremely competitive film market. The study results show that Asian American writers have emerged recently. Second, Asian American book-to-movie adaptations offer unique narratives to American audiences, although only a handful of Asian American book-to-movie adaptations have been produced. In conclusion, despite the promising growth of Asian American literature, readers can realize that Asian American book-to-movie adaptations have to struggle to be able to tap into the Hollywood industry.
