Spain’s La Manga del Mar Menor (Murcia), a Space Transformed by Tourist Activity—Analysis from the Geography of Perception
Authors: Morales Yago Francisco José , Jurado Almonte José Manuel , Cuesta Aguilar María José
Published: November 2024

Tourist activity has a powerful capacity to transform landscapes, often modifying natural or semi-natural spaces in favour of increasingly dense urban structures. This change is particularly evident in Mediterranean coastal areas, and specifically in Spain’s La Manga del Mar Menor in the Region of Murcia, whose environment and landscape have been altered from the 1960s onwards. During this time, intense urbanisation based on the sun and beach tourism model has been developed, which represents a bad example of urban land-use planning. Speculation and the lack of a sustainable tourist model in those years have created a 22-km linear city along a coastal strip, currently characterised by a densified tourist area. This situation is due to the lack of urban planning and a series of other problems, such as the lack of basic services and facilities, saturation in access to them and environmental pollution. In this spatial context, the geography of perception’s methodology will serve as an analytical tool in aspects related to the lived space and the interaction of residents and tourists. This is combined with a DAFO/SWOT-CAME analysis and the use of photographs and cartographies as key research instruments. The aim of this work is to analyse the intense urbanisation that has taken place in this coastal area and to show the need to carry out urban development actions within the framework of a possible new plan aimed at halting environmental deterioration, organising land use, creating more spaces for public services and protecting, to a greater extent, beaches and other natural and cultural resources. A commitment to sustainable tourism should ensure better urban conditions to meet both visitor and local demands.

Studies on the individuation of surface and buried faults in seismic areas using geochemical methods can be considered a valid approach for improving sustainability in the risk assessment framework. Appropriate scientific knowledge of structural geology and its evolution pre/during/post seismic events can play a fundamental role in human safety and resilience. The Abruzzo region (central Italy) underwent to a Mw 6.3 seismic event, in April 2009, that interested L’Aquila city (the county seat of the region) and many villages in the surrounding area. A first soil gas survey including radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) measurements was accomplished soon after the main shock, in an area of ~24 km2 a few kilometers away from L’Aquila city. Results highlighted the spatial influence of the active tectonic on gas migration towards the surface. The area was investigated again in spring 2016, both to evaluate the natural degassing during a period without further meaningful earthquakes and to verify the presence of faults supposed after the previous survey results. Comparing data from the two surveys, a variation in the 222Rn/220Rn ratio was observed, suggesting different sources (deep or superficial) of gas degassing strictly correlated with the temporal variation in soil vertical permeability. Furthermore, the results infer a new structural system different from that known in the literature.

Published: November 2024

Despite all the progress in treating SARS-CoV-2, escape mutants to current therapies remain a constant concern. Promising alternative treatments for current and future coronaviruses are those that limit escape mutants by inhibiting multiple pathogenic targets, analogous to the current strategies for treating HCV and HIV. With increasing popularity and ease of manufacturing of RNA technologies for vaccines and drugs, therapeutic microRNAs represent a promising option. In the present work, miR-24-3p was identified to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 entry, replication, and production; furthermore, this inhibition was retained against common mutations improving SARS-CoV-2 fitness. To determine the mechanism of action, bioinformatic tools were employed, identifying numerous potential effectors promoting infection targeted by miR-24-3p. Of these targets, several key host proteins for priming and facilitating SARS-CoV-2 entry were identified: furin, NRP1, NRP2, and SREBP2. With further experimental analysis, we show that miR-24-3p directly downregulates these viral entry factors to impede infection when producing virions and when infecting the target cell. Furthermore, we compare the findings with coronavirus, HCoV-229E, which relies on different factors strengthening the miR-24-3p mechanism. Taken together, the following work suggests that miR-24-3p could be an avenue to treat current coronaviruses and those likely to emerge.
Evaluating the Impact of N-Glycan Sequon Removal in the p27 Peptide on RSV F Protein Immunogenicity and Functionality

Published: November 2024

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of acute lower respiratory tract infections in young children, elderly and immunocompromised patients worldwide. The RSV fusion (F) protein, which has 5–6 N-glycosylation sites depending on the strain, is a major target for vaccine development. Two to three of these sites are located in the p27 peptide, which is considered absent in virions. Prior research from our group showed that removing the N-glycan at position 116 (N116) in p27 led to higher neutralizing antibody responses and better protection against RSV. In this study, the effect of single, double and triple N-glycan deletion mutations in F p27 was evaluated. Surprisingly, all mutants exhibited similar expressions and functionality to the wild-type F protein. All F p27 glycomutants induced neutralizing antibodies and lowered lung viral loads after an RSV challenge in a mouse model. Although N-glycans in p27 influence immune responses, their exact role in RSV biology remains unclear. Possibly, these glycans, which are mostly conserved, play a role in other aspects of virus replication and biology.
Persistent Rhesus Enteric Calicivirus Infection in Recombinant CHO Cells Expressing the Coxsackie and Adenovirus Receptor
Authors: Farkas Tibor , Aboezz Zeinab R.
Published: November 2024

Recently, using a panel of recombinant CHO cell lines, we identified the coxsackie and adenovirus receptor (CAR) and histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) or sialic acid as the minimum requirement for susceptibility to rhesus enteric calicivirus (ReCV) infections. While ReCVs cause lytic infection in LLC-MK2 cells, recombinant CHO (rCHO) cell lines did not exhibit any morphological changes upon infection. To monitor infectious virus production, rCHO cell cultures had to be freeze–thawed and titrated on LLC-MK2 monolayers. This raised the question of whether ReCV infection in rCHO cells is persistent and whether non-enveloped progeny virions are released from the infected cells. Here, we used the rCHO-CAR+ cell line and a CAR and sialic acid-dependent recovirus strain (FT7) and found that these cells were persistently infected, and infectious virus was continuously produced and released into the culture without showing any visible cell damage. Viral capsid protein and replication intermediate double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) were detectable in almost all cells for at least 12 passages. We suspect a fully exosomal viral exit mechanism without a lytic cycle in these cells. rCHO cell may provide a valuable system for ReCV production (producer cell line) and serve as a model for investigating enteric calicivirus non-lytic viral exit mechanisms and the properties of the released, most likely membrane-cloaked, infectious progeny virions.

Published: November 2024

Tobacco curly shoot virus (TbCSV), a begomovirus, causes significant economic losses in tobacco and tomato crops across East, Southeast, and South Asia. Despite its agricultural importance, the evolutionary dynamics and emergence process of TbCSV remain poorly understood. This study analyzed the phylodynamics of TbCSV by examining its nucleotide sequences of the coat protein (CP) gene collected between 2000 and 2022. Using various combinations of priors, Bayes factor comparisons identified heterochronous datasets (3 × 100 million chains) generated from a strict molecular clock and Bayesian skyline tree priors as the most robust. The mean substitution rate of the CP gene was estimated at 6.50 × 10−4 substitutions/site/year (95% credibility interval: 4.74 × 10−4–8.50 × 10−4). TbCSV was inferred to have diverged around 1920 CE (95% credibility interval: 1887–1952), with its most probable origin in South Asia. These findings provide valuable insights for the phylogeography and evolutionary dynamics of TbCSV, and contribute to a broader understanding of begomovirus epidemiology.

Published: November 2024

Unveiling the scale effects on the interactions and driving factors of ecosystem services (ESs) contributes to the differentiated conservation of ESs across multiple scales. Utilizing models such as Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs (InVEST), Self-organizing map (SOM), and Geographic Detector, we analyzed the spatiotemporal changes, interactions, and dominant driving factors of water yield (WY), soil conservation (SC), carbon storage (CS), and habitat quality (HQ) in the Three River Source Basin (TRSB) from 2000 to 2020 at both grid and sub-watershed scales; explored the impact of scale effects; and proposed ecological conservation strategies. The results indicated the following: (1) Over the 20 years, the average values of WY, SC, CS, and HQ in the TRSB were 146.12 mm, 10.95 t, 224.77 gC m−2, and 0.6942, respectively, which exhibited a distribution with lower values in the northwest and higher values in the southeast. Over the study period, WY and SC experienced declines at rates of −7.26 mm per 5 years and −0.08 t per 5 years, while CS and HQ showed increases at rates of 6.97 gC m−2 per 5 years and 0.007 per 5 years. (2) The relationships among WY, SC, and CS were primarily synergistic, whereas HQ exhibited more trade-offs with other ESs, and as the scale increased, the trade-off effects diminished, and synergistic effects were enhanced. (3) ESs were influenced by a combination of factors, and the interactions among these factors strengthened the explanatory power regarding ESs. Increasing vegetation cover and reducing irrational human activities were effective approaches to enhance the ESs in the TRSB. This study helps to expand the understanding of the relationships among ESs and the effects of scale, providing support for the protection and sustainable development of the TRSB ecosystem.
The Importance of Measuring Soil Erosion by Water at the Field Scale: A Review

Published: November 2024

Water erosion is a significant global threat due to the high soil loss rate and all its consequent implications. Technologies to predict erosion are strongly related to measurements and vice versa. Measurements can simply provide empirical evidence of the erosion process and are hard to extrapolate in time and space. Measurements were used to develop some erosion models, such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), and also for their calibration and validation. Several measurement techniques are used to collect soil erosion data at different spatial and temporal scales, but they cannot be considered fully accurate in any experimental condition. Each technique exhibits advantages and disadvantages, so extensive knowledge of their feasibility, accuracy, and limitations is required to correctly plan experiments and use the performed measurements. In this paper, recent scientific developments on the measurement of rainfall erosivity, soil loss at the plot scale, and rill and gully erosion using close-range photogrammetry are presented. Further considerations are made on the quality of soil erosion measurements and the usefulness and importance of measuring plot soil loss. Our critical analysis highlighted that the techniques reported in the literature are a solid basis, which, however, should be developed to improve their range of applicability and data quality.

Published: November 2024

Nanozymes represent a new generation of artificial enzymes that combine nanomaterial properties with catalytic activities similar to those of natural enzymes. It has significant advantages in catalytic efficiency, selectivity, and stability, leading to increasing interest in their application in aqueous environments. Since the discovery of enzyme-like activity in Fe3O4, more and more iron-based nanozymes have been utilised for the detection and removal of pollutants. Iron is a non-toxic, low-cost transition metal, and this property makes iron-based nanozymes more compatible with safety requirements in aqueous environmental applications. Although iron-based nanozymes have demonstrated significant advantages in the water environment field, the relevant research is still in its infancy. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to systematically summarise the latest applications of iron-based nanozymes in the water environment. This paper describes the common methods of synthesising iron-based nanozymes. In addition, the applications of iron-based nanozymes in detecting pollutants and pollutant removal are reviewed. It was found that the removal of pollutants by iron-based nanozymes was mainly achieved through the reactive oxygen species, whereas the recognition of pollutants primarily depended on the reactions of iron-based nanozymes, such as colour development, fluorescence, and chemiluminescence. Finally, we highlight the challenges and future prospects for the application of iron-based nanozymes in water environments. In summary, this paper systematically summaries and discusses the common synthesis methods of iron-based nanozymes and their applications in the aquatic environment, with a view to providing new ideas for overcoming the limitations of traditional pollutant detection and removal methods and realising the high-quality development of iron-based nanozymes in water environment.

Authors: Demarchi Clovis , Cristina Maieski Elaine
Published: November 2024

The object under discussion is transnational governance as a tool for identifying and reducing inequality, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 10, which aims to reduce inequality within and among countries. The overall objective is to analyze to what extent transnational governance can contribute to the identification of vulnerable groups and, as a consequence, to enable transnational actors to cooperatively design actions to reduce inequality among peoples. Transnational governance can be understood as the reordering processes that the world has been going through, where various relations between the local and the global evolve at the same time, within and across borders. It was found that it is possible to point out that transnational governance aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals can indeed be considered an effective tool for reducing inequalities, both internally within and between countries, and that it can guarantee equity, justice, and uniformity for individuals who have equal rights and opportunities. The methodology is based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, and can also be classified, according to its objectives, as descriptive and prescriptive. The research technique will be bibliographic analysis.

Published: November 2024

The Balinese language is the mother tongue that is used by the people who live in Bali for daily communication and social interaction. Currently, the Balinese language just like many other mother tongue languages in Indonesia is in the process of being abandoned by the younger generation for many reasons for instance it is because there are limited resources available on the Internet.  Semantic ontology has been chosen as the backbone of this system due to minimising the ambiguity of the translation using the keyword-based query.  The development utilises the prototyping system development approach by focusing on the involvement of the user at every stage of development.  The system has three main features namely semantic browsing, semantic searching, and antonym searching.  We carried out two types of evaluation (functional and non-functional) by involving 30 participants and the results show users perceive the usefulness and ease of use to be positive
Enhancing Cybersecurity Information Sharing: A Secure and Decentralized Approach with Four-Node IPFS
Authors: Fauziah Zaleha , Anggraini Novi Putri , Ayu Sanjaya Yulia Putri , Ramadhan Tarisya
Published: November 2024

The act of sharing cybersecurity information plays a proactive and collaborative role in bolstering organizational security through the exchange of data using a centralized repository service. However, the real-world application of centralized services comes with certain risks. It leaves organizations vulnerable to distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, leading to system failures and creating a single point of failure. Additionally, it opens the door to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, potentially altering or pilfering exchanged information. These threats undermine user confidence in the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their data. This study presents a secure solution, the design of a Cybersecurity Information Sharing (CyberShare) system that employs a private interplanetary file system (IPFS) network as a decentralized information storage solution. Unlike centralized storage, which relies on a single node, the CyberShare system utilizes a four-node IPFS network interconnected with swarm keys for authentication. This design enables users to store and share information securely from sender to recipient, eliminating the need for reliance on a central server and reducing the server load. An analysis of the proposed CyberShare system demonstrates its capability to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of cybersecurity information. By enhancing information security, CyberShare systems empower organizations to securely share and utilize cybersecurity data.

Published: November 2024

Background: The zygomaticotemporal foramen (ZTF) is located in the temporal surface of the zygomat-ic bone. The zygomaticotemporal branch, a zygomatic nerve (V2) branch, passes through it and distrib-utes in the forehead and temporal region. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of ZTF and its connections with other foramina in the zygomatic bone.
Materials and Methods: A total of 171 unilateral zygomatic bones in the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University were included in our study. The number(s) of ZTF and its relationship with other foramina were determined. The distances between the ZTF and the marginal tubercle and frontozygomatic suture were measured.
Results: A total of 328 ZTFs were found in 171 zygomatic bones. In total, 95 of the 328 ZTFs were found to be connected to other foramina through a canal. The vertical distance between the ZTF and the marginal tubercle as well as the frontozygomatic suture were measured as mean 9.26+2.12mm and 21.78+2.48mm, respectively. The transverse distance from the ZTF and the marginal tubercle was measured as 5.46+1.56mm.
Conclusions: he ZTF is an important anatomical component with implications for interventions on the zygomatic bone. The incidence and location of the ZTF may differ between individuals and between one side of the same individual. It has provided plastic surgeons and anaesthetists with detailed ana-tomical findings for the protection of the zygomaticotemporal nerves passing through the relevant foramen and thus at risk of injury.

Percepción y actitudes sobre la problemática del aborto provocado en estudiantes de medicina de Argentina y Chile
Authors:   , Pardo Carvallo Cardeu
Published: November 2024

El embarazo no deseado y el aborto inseguro son dos problemas persistentes en América Latina, continuamente revisados por la OPS/OMS, y materia de constante debate legislativo en nuestra realidad regional, especialmente en países como Argentina y Chile. Si bien, en la atención sanitaria de los pacientes que solicitan o efectúan un aborto intervienen múltiples profesionales, será la atención del médico la que determina la mayoría de las veces la conducta a seguir en relación al caso presentado. Se abordan en este trabajo de investigación diversas aristas de un tema tan controversial en la sociedad como es el aborto terapéutico y la interrupción legal del embarazo, desde la perspectiva de estudiantes de la carrera de medicina que cursan en universidad pública en Argentina y en Chile, específicamente las 3 universidades públicas más relevantes en cuanto a su prestigio y número de estudiantes. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con metodología cuantitativa para determinar percepción y actitudes en 743 alumnos, por medio de una encuesta. Se obtuvo como resultado: Que los estudiantes de medicina de las universidades estudiadas son muy receptivos a la regulación del aborto con un enfoque centrado en la salud y derechos reproductivos de las mujeres. Al mismo tiempo se deja entrever la falta de planificación y vocación de las respectivas facultades de medicina para enseñar el aborto provocado como un problema de salud pública; en cuanto a su evaluación y técnica, pero también en relación a la regulación jurídica que condiciona a los mismo médicos. Se asocian conocimientos débiles e insuficientes en el menos un tercio de los estudiantes. Se aprecia una muy alta disposición a ser ejecutores de abortos en determinadas circunstancias, existiendo diferencias por género, credo, situación religiosa y política. No se hallaron grandes diferencias entre las 3 universidades evaluadas.

يهدف هذا البحث دراسة العلاقة بين النظام النحوي والإبداع الشعري عند الشاعر ابن مشرف الأحسائي. ويسلط الضوء على شاعر لم يحظ بالدراسات الكافية، وتبرز كيفية توظيف الشاعر للقواعد النحوية لخدمة المعاني والانسجام الموسيقي في قصائده؛ لاستكشاف كيفية توظيف ابن مشرف للنظام النحوي في شعره بما يتماشى مع الإيقاع الشعري والقافية، وتحليل بعض الظواهر اللغوية التي استخدمها الشاعر لإثراء نصوصه، مع التركيز على التداخل بين النحو والشعر؛ لتحقيق التعبير الأدبي. وتم اختيار نماذج محددة من شعر ابن مشرف. وتم التركيز على أهمية القافية في شعره، وكيفية توظيفها لخدمة الوزن والإيقاع، مع المرونة في استخدام التقديم والتأخير والتركيب النحوي. وأثبتت الدراسة أن ابن مشرف شاعر ذو براعة لغوية استثنائية، إذ يستخدم النحو العربي بشكل مرن يتناسب مع متطلبات النص الشعري. وأكدت الدراسة أن الظواهر النحوية في شعر ابن مشرف لم تكن أخطاء أو تجاوزات، بل كانت ضرورة شعرية مقصودة تهدف لتحقيق دلالات محددة، سواء أكانت موسيقية أم نصية. وأظهرت الدراسة أن الشاعر لم يلتزم دائما بالقاعدة النحوية، ولكنه استخدم تلك الخروقات بمهارة لتحقيق أهداف موسيقية أو معنوية.

Dialog jako droga przemiany
Authors: Kowalska Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

Historia relacji pomiędzy judaizmem i chrześcijaństwem, symbolizowana figurami Synagogi i Eklezji, to dzieje naznaczone często trudnościami i napięciami. To również historia o radykalnej przemianie, która rozpoczęła się od czasów Holokaustu – szczególnie po opublikowaniu dokumentu Soboru Watykańskiego II Nostra aetate w 1965 r. Doświadczenie Zgromadzenia Sióstr Matki Bożej z Syjonu (zwanego również siostry Syjonu lub Syjon) stanowi pewien paradygmat zmiany, która dokonuje się w Kościele do dzisiaj. Zgromadzenie to zostało założone w połowie XIX w. przez Teodora Ratisbonne’a w celu nawracania Żydów. Z biegiem czasu, pod wpływem ruchów biblijnych, ekumenicznych i teologicznych oraz doświadczeniu Shoah, cel zgromadzenia całkowicie się zmienił. Pamiętając o inspiracji założyciela i pierwszych sióstr, że w Kościele rzymskokatolickim istniała potrzeba zgromadzenia, które przypominałoby chrześcijanom o ich zakorzenieniu w judaizmie, siostry odeszły od nawracania Żydów na rzecz szerzenia nowego zrozumienia trwałego wybrania narodu żydowskiego i ważności judaizmu, zarówno w przeszłości, teraźniejszości, jak i przyszłości. Artykuł pokazuje, jak stopniowa transformacja, która dokonała się w zgromadzeniu, wymagała radykalnej reorientacji w postrzeganiu własnej tożsamości, głęboko zakorzenionych przekonań, tradycji i modlitw oraz podjęcia w tym kierunku pracy i studiów. Przedstawiając historię i doświadczenie Syjonu, nawiązałam do tego, jak wyglądały początki zgromadzenia i w jaki sposób ów proces się dokonał, przechodząc na końcu również do niektórych nowych wyzwań i zadań, które w ostatnich latach pojawiły się w dialogu i relacjach żydowsko-chrześcijańskich.
Dialog między chrześcijaństwem a judaizmem jako wartość w perspektywie historycznej, aktualnej i przyszłej
Authors: Tarchała Andrzej
Published: November 2024

Wczesne stosunki żydowsko-chrześcijańskie charakteryzowały się zarówno podobieństwami, jak i różnicami pomiędzy obiema tradycjami religijnymi. Relacje pomiędzy judaizmem i chrześcijaństwem jako systemami religijnymi oraz relacje między Żydami i chrześcijanami jako członkami tych wyznań zostały ukształtowane przez powiązania i interakcje historyczne. Propagatorzy dialogu żydowsko-chrześcijańskiego niewątpliwie przyczynili i przyczyniają się do promocji ducha zrozumienia i współpracy między wyznawcami obu religii. Poprzez swoje wysiłki podkreślili oni znaczenie uznania wyjątkowej wartości każdej wiary oraz istniejących między nimi podobieństw i różnic. Przyszłość stosunków żydowsko-chrześcijańskich będzie kształtowana przez ciągły dialog oparty na wzajemnym szacunku i próbie konstytuowania wspólnego świata życia (Lebenswelt).

O zróżnicowanych sposobach określania relacji między polskością a katolicyzmem we współczesnej humanistyce (Boski – Bisko)
Authors: Dąbrowska Dorota
Published: November 2024

Cel artykuł stanowi refleksja nad sposobami postrzegania relacji między polskością a katolicyzmem we współczesnych badaniach humanistycznych. Zagadnienie to zostanie ujęte w perspektywie analizy porównawczej dwóch publikacji, reprezentujących odmienne dziedziny nauki – rozdziału z książki Kulturowe ramy zachowań społecznych Pawła Boskiego (wpisującego się w nurt psychologii międzykulturowej) oraz fragmentu kulturoznawczej pracy doktorskiej autorstwa Agaty Bisko (dysertacja wydana pod tytułem Polska dla średnio zaawansowanych: współczesna polskość codzienna). Wyraziste zróżnicowanie diagnoz wpisanych w te dwa teksty skłania do refleksji nad uwarunkowaniami metodologicznymi oraz perswazyjnym potencjałem wypowiedzi formułowanych na gruncie humanistyki. Intencją autorki artykułu będzie wskazanie elementów retorycznych, prowokujących do namysłu nad subiektywnym naznaczeniem każdej perspektywy badawczej, oraz zwrócenie uwagi na wartościowanie zawarte w tekstach.
The Heritage and Ancestral Roots of Polish Immigrants to Texas in the Second Wave
Authors: Bujak Małgorzata , Liszka Marek
Published: November 2024

The article explores the second wave of Polish immigration to Southeast Texas during the 19th century, focusing on the cultural heritage of the Polish diaspora, particularly from Greater Poland and Galicia. It examines the foundational figures of the Polish ethnic community in Texas, including Meyer Levy, Father Feliks Orzechowski, and Josef Bartula. Utilizing content analysis of 4,358 pages across 124 volumes from the Polish Genealogical Society Texas (PGST), published between 1984 and 2021, the study reveals the significant contributions of these individuals – Jewish merchants, Catholic clergymen, and community leaders – to the history of Polish settlement in Texas. The article also underscores the impact of Polish immigrants on the state’s agricultural development and their role in enriching the ethnically diverse fabric of Texas. Additionally, it highlights the crucial roles played by women and children in the early success of these immigrant communities.
Złote czasy literatury dźwiękowej non-fiction
Authors: Bachura Wojtasik Joanna
Published: November 2024

Recenzowana książka jest publikacją wyjątkową. Po pierwsze dlatego, że dotyczy reportażu dźwiękowego, który narodził się w radiu już w latach 20. XX w., a do tej pory doczekał się tak niewielu opracowań (zob. Białek, 2010; Klimczak, 2011; Pleszkun-Olejniczakowa, 2012), co w zestawieniu choćby z pracami naukowymi o dokumencie filmowym czy literackim wydaje się bardzo zaskakujące i wręcz niezrozumiałe. A po drugie dlatego, że jest to pierwsza tego typu książka, która wyszła spod pióra praktyczki – reportażystki radiowej, ale także, co w tym wypadku bardzo istotne, badaczki gatunku. Istotą rozważań genologicznych dla autorki jest materia semiotyczna reportażu radiowego i rekonstrukcja „najważniejszych mechanizmów funkcjonowania dźwięku w radiowym reportażu artystycznym” (s. 12). Autorka proponuje nowe spojrzenie na literaturę dźwiękową non-fiction jako na literaturę nieprzekładalną na język innego tworzywa, eksponującą cechy i wartości nie do odnalezienia w realizacjach prasowych, literackich czy audiowizualnych. Dźwięk to dla Michalak osobny, autonomiczny, rządzący się swoimi prawami język sztuki narracyjnej. Świadome użycie tworzywa dźwiękowego przez autorów stanowi determinantę gatunkową reportażu audio, wcześniej objętego wyłącznie nomenklaturą reportażu radiowego, związanego z medium, w którym się narodził, współcześnie – za sprawą przemian kulturowych i technologicznych – gatunku realizowanego także poza medium radiowym. Monografia obok pogłębionych rozważań teoretycznych proponuje także cenne wskazówki dotyczące praktycznych realizacji jakościowego reportażu dźwiękowego.
Pemanfaatan Lahan Pekarangan dengan Sistem Hidroponik dan Limbah Botol Plastik untuk Mengurangi Pencemaran Lingkungan di Desa Kertasemaya, Kabupaten Indramayu

Published: November 2024

This community service initiative began in response to environmental issues in Kertasemaya Village, where the lack of waste disposal facilities led some residents to improperly dispose of organic and non-organic waste, particularly in irrigation rivers, causing blockages. The increasing volume of plastic bottle waste requires proper management to prevent pollution. The community's awareness of waste management in Kertasemaya Village is still low. Several training sessions were conducted to address this problem, including education on hydroponic practices and the creation of simple planting media using discarded bottles, rock wool, and flannel fabric. Housewives showed interest in the hydroponic system and expressed their willingness to implement it at home. This training aims to enhance community awareness about waste management and the beneficial use of plastic bottles. The program aims to provide knowledge and skills regarding the utilization of yard spaces through hydroponic systems by using plastic bottle waste to minimize environmental pollution in Kertasemaya Village. The success of the training was measured by comparing participants' knowledge before and after the training. Pretest and posttest results showed that 93% of participants experienced an increase in knowledge, while 59% showed no improvement.
