Purpose: Kitchen sponges, commonly used to clean kitchen items and surfaces, can become a significant source of cross-contamination if handled, stored, or disinfected poorly. This study, therefore, plays a crucial role in raising awareness about the potential risks of pathogenic bacteria transfer to food-contact surfaces by evaluating the microbial quality of sponges used by street food vendors.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A brief questionnaire was administered to ascertain the dishwashing activities at the food vending sites. Thirty-two (32) sponge pieces collected from street food vending sites within the Sunyani Technical University vicinity were examined for their microbial levels, and the data were analysed using MS Excel and SPSS version 20.
Findings: Eighty-six percent (86%) of the food vendors surveyed indicated that the Food and Drug Authority (FDA) and Environmental Health Officers (EHO) from the municipal assembly supervised their businesses, and 62% possessed a medical examination certificate. More than half of the food vendors (62.5%) only changed the dishwashing water 1-3 times per day, and 69% did not replace the sponge until it was completely damaged. Most respondents (87%) drained washed dishes (bowls) by tilting, and 69% of food vendors placed the sponges in a designated sponge container without drying them. There was relatively high microbial contamination in the wash sponge and water, exceeding recommended levels with a strong correlation between the two.
Research Limitation: This research focused on wash sponges at street food vending sites near Sunyani Technical University; hence, the scope of generalisation might be limited.
Practical Implication: The study may impact how street food vendors handle and store wash sponges.
Social Implication: This project will help street food sellers become more aware of food safety procedures, lower the number of cases of foodborne illnesses, and enhance general health and well-being.  
Originality/ Value: The study investigated the microbial quality of sponges, a critical but often overlooked aspect of food safety in the food service industry.

Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study explores the possibility of integrating junk electronic objects and variedly dyed and painted pieces of vegetable-tanned leather to produce fashion accessories.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The qualitative study is grounded in an art-based research (ABR) design. The researchers produced the ornaments using techniques such as soldering, beading, braiding, painting, dyeing, spraying, marbling, thonging, sawing, cutting, and tying.
Findings: The study suggested integrating vegetable-tanned leather and junk electronic objects to produce various fashion accessories. Thirty-nine items were produced, including bags, belts, footwear, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. Images of these products are duly captured in this paper.
Research Limitation: This research explores the feasibility of integrating vegetable-tanned leather with junk electronic objects to produce fashion adornments. However, the study is limited in evaluating the products' safety and consumer perception. Further studies are needed to shed light on the above.
Practical Implication: Combining e-waste with vegetable-tanned leather to produce fashion accessories is a progressive enterprise that can produce sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion products.
Social Implication: E-waste is dumped in landfills and littered carelessly around the environment. Integrating these waste materials into utilitarian articles can minimise their damaging environmental effects and allow creative people to produce valuable articles for society.
Originality/Value: This study presents innovative accessories that can inspire creative people to transform discarded electronic objects into valuable adornments of various forms, textures and colours.

Published: December 2024

Rice is the staple food in Bangladesh. However, soil degradation in coastal land hinders rice production there. This study aims to assess the suitable area for rice production in Sarankhola, a coastal region in Bangladesh. This study uses SRDI’s physiochemical and nutrient data as a secondary source. We interpolated these data using Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) methods and weighed the data using the Suitability Modeler in ArcGIS Pro v3. The findings show that some parameters, like OM, N, P, Cu, and Mn, are close to or within their optimal ranges suggested by SRDI, for rice production in Bangladesh. On the other hand, EC, S, Ca, Mg, and Fe are much higher than their optimal values. The correlation analysis shows strong positive correlations between organic matter and nitrogen (0.97); and Ca and Mg (0.64). Moreover, there is a moderate positive correlation of Soil EC with S (0.43), and K (0.34), respectively. Conversely, a negative correlation was found between soil pH with N (-0.28) and Organic Matter (-0.30), respectively. The spatial distribution of soil physiochemical and nutrients reveals varying suitability for agriculture, with some regions showing optimal conditions while others face significant nutrient deficiencies. The land suitability analysis for rice production reveals that 40–50% of the area, mainly in the Dhansagar and parts of Khontakata unions, is "suitable" for rice cultivation. Meanwhile, 20–30% of Rayenda, Southkhali, and parts of Khontakata are "moderately suitable," necessitating additional inputs. The remaining 30-40%, particularly in Rayenda and Southkhali, are "marginally suitable." The results suggest that Dhansagar and Khontakata unions in Sarankhola are potential areas for rice production naturally, without using hybrid seeds.
A study on family farm-enterprise of producers in rural communities of the Gambia
Authors: Sanyang S. E.
Published: December 2024

The agricultural systems of the Gambia entirely depend on rain-fed agriculture, and it propels economic growth. Agriculture's contribution to the Gambia's GDP is 22%. The Gambia's economy   heavily depends on agriculture and provides 30–40% of the country's foreign exchange earnings.   Family farm enterprise is a lucrative business, but limited research work has been done to determine its economic contributions in improving the livelihoods of producers. The problem statement of the research work is to identify knowledge gap, finance, and markets of family farm producers to enhance production capacity, yield and income. The objective identifies the contribution of family enterprise to the economy, and to address the challenges that affects profitability. The study applied a purposive sampling technique for qualitative and quantitative approaches. The methodology of data collection was focus group discussion, key informants’ interviews and review of secondary data from other research work. A total of (5) focus group discussions, (90) interviews and (10) key informants was conducted in 3 agricultural regions. The results showed female participates immensely in family farm production than male of 443 and 25 respectively. The result showed positive contribution in socio-economic development were North Bank Region scored D2, 709,225 while lowest income earned was Central River Region amounting to D279,700.00 respectively. In conclusion, family farm enterprises can boost local economy of rural communities enhancing livelihoods. Thus, recommend government to create easy access to finance, market and training on business management skills for the family members engaged in agriculture as a business entity.
COGNITIVE AND EMOTIONAL COMPONENTS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION. LINGUISTIC AND NON-LINGUISTIC DIRECTION OF TRAINING
Authors:   Smolensk State University, Polyakova Irina V.
Published: December 2024

The paper presents a study of the psychological features of the
relationship between the cognitive and emotional components of learning a
foreign language by students of various professional specializations. The aim
of the work was to identify and comparatively correlate the differences in that
relationship. The study involved 40 students of various fields of professional
training (Age = 19–21), studying at Smolensk State University at the Faculty
of Philology and St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The study found that
the severity of the cognitive component in students learning a foreign language
in linguistic specialties is higher than in students of a non-linguistic education profile. The nature of the results distribution by the types of emotional
orientation in both groups is approximately the same, but the degree of its
manifestation is different. It was revealed that students of both groups have
highly expressed the same types of emotional orientation: communicative and
gnostic. Pearson’s criterion was used to establish the relationship. The modality and strength of relationships in groups are different. High interrelationships
between cognitive and emotional components were revealed only in students
mastering professions related to a foreign language
ETHNIC IDENTITY IN THE STRUCTURE OF SELF-AWARENESS OF HUMANITIES STUDENTS
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Mishina Marina M. , Kolyakov Dmitry A. ,   Russian State University for the Humanities
Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of an empirical study in personal
identity as a foundation for self-conscience as well as the place and role of the
ethnic component thereof. The study was conducted among Moscow humanities undergraduate students (n = 113). A person’s identity plays an important
role in his/her worldview, activity and interaction with the environment and
other people. Understanding the identity and its relation to socialization and
educational activity allows educators and education administrators create
more efficient strategies of the educational process. In the multiethnic and multinational educational environment understanding the ethnic component is of
particular significance. Three well-established techniques were used to analyze
the students’ identity – an identity component analysis framework, a leading
international ethnic identity analysis framework and a Russian ethnic identity
component analysis framework. The analysis of the research results lets concluding that there are significant differences of identity in ethno-demographic
groups of modern Russian humanities students.
TRUTH VERSUS TRUTH IN CONTEXT IN DOSTOEVSKY. POLYPHONY VS RELATIVISM. THE CASE OF A CONVERSATION BETWEEN FATHER AND SON OVER THE BRANDY
Authors:   Georgetown University, Meerson Olga A.
Published: December 2024

The article juxtaposes the semantic difference of usage for the word
“truth” (“istina”) in Christian vs. secular contexts in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The
Brothers Karamazov”. The author reveals an infinite multiplicity of conflicting
receptive “mirrors” as they diverge from the Christian conceptualization of the
notion of Truth, a notion most important for Dostoevsky, viewed by him as
inalienable from the image of Christ. The author dwells on various meanings of
the word “truth” in the polyphonic context of Dostoevsky’s novels, thus comparing and contrasting the characters’ perception of this word versus the meanings found in the relevant Biblical and liturgical texts, in Russian, Hebrew,
Greek, and Church Slavonic. The textual example for this essay focuses on the
chapter “Over the Brandy”, referencing the hypocritical policy of Catherine
II in her attempt to please the representatives of the church hierarchy at the
level of cultural gestures, while actually confiscating church lands and reducing
the number of monasteries by two thirds. In this respect, she would find allies
not only among the secularists like Miusov or Ivan Karamazov, different as
their stances may be, but also among the radicals like Pyotr Verkhovensky, in
Dostoevsky’s fiction. The article also shows that both the left-wing radicalism
and the right-wing triumphalism equally distort and lead away from Christ, as
Dostoevsky sees Him.
FRIENDSHIP AND BETRAYAL IN DRAMATURGICAL AND LIFE CONTEXTS OF THE STALINIST ERA
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Yurganov Andrei L.
Published: December 2024

In historical contexts, there can be various presuppositional ideas
of morality, up to the denial of common human morality. And then the question
arises: how can one judge friendship and betrayal if, instead of metaphysical
unanimity, we find deep communication gaps between historical epochs? Denying universal concepts, the class morality of the Stalinist era asserted that
only the collective, the party, and the class could be the ultimate criterion in interpersonal relations. As an example, the article studies the story of playwright
A.N. Afinogenov’s relationship with the writer Vsevolod Ivanov in 1937 such
a life context is compared with the dramaturgical one. In Afinogenov’s play
“Fear” a similar moral dilemma arises, in which the playwright actually acts as
a man who justifies the moral necessity of betraying friendship for the sake of
loyalty to collectivist morality.
VSEVOLOD NEKRASOV’S POEM “AND I MEAN THE COSMIC”1 IN THE CONTEXT OF 1959
Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Zykova Galina V.
Published: December 2024

The article considers V. Nekrasov’s famous poem “And I mean
the Cosmic” with its title-final complex, which was finalized half a century after the first publication of the text, as an example for conceptualist
“provocation of contexts”: the title sounds a rejoinder in a dispute, and the
date indicates a particularly close relation of the work to the time of its
creation – 1959. The article focuses on the specifics of the influence by the
“cosmic” excitement of 1959 on the figurative structure and themes of the
works of those Soviet poets of the “older” generation, whose work Nekrasov
valued – Martynov and Svetlov. It is suggested that one of the realized
pretexts for Nekrasov’s poem could be Voznesensky’s “Parabolic Ballad”.
The connection between Nekrasov’s poem “And I mean the Cosmic” and
the time of its creation is apparently not limited to opposition to official
rhetoric; the connection is not exclusively polemical, but of a more complex
nature
THE PHENOMENON OF IMPOSTURE. TRANSCENDENTAL LEGITIMACY OF POWER IN POLITICAL MODERNITY
Authors:   French National Centre for Scientific Research, Ingerflom Claudio ,   National University of General San Martín
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the theoretical problem of studying imposture as a phenomenon of history, which is often seen only as an event frame
relating to a certain time. But imposture is recurrent, becomes chronic, and
therefore needs to be conceptualized not only as an event phenomenon, but also
as a peculiar constant of Russian reality, in which together with the “present”
coexist the so-called “sediments”, testifying to the deeper nature of the “past in
the present”. The author comes to the idea that a peculiar constant of Russian
history was the informalized power, initially asserting its transcendent rather
than legal (civil) function. It was determined by both religious postulates and
the political specifics of the region itself. The phenomenon of imposture can
be extended to the limits of the history of the autocracy itself. In any case, the
proposed model of including imposture in the history of the autocracy poses a
new question to the researcher – about the nature of legitimacy in the informal
legal tradition of Russia throughout the centuries.
COUNT PLATON IVANOVICH MUSIN-PUSHKIN. THE FATE OF A NOBLEMAN OF THE “PALACE COUPS EPOCH” (CULTURAL ASPECT)
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Kurukin Igor V.
Published: December 2024

The article is about the life path of not the most famous of the
“fledglings” of Peter the Great – Count Platon Ivanovich Musin-Pushkin
(1698–1742). Thanks to the documents seized after his arrest, it is possible to
restore the tortuous biography of a man of the “second plan”. Musin-Pushkin,
despite his aristocratic origin, completely fit into Peter’s society: he was educated abroad, served in the guard, tried his hand at the diplomatic service, and
generally successfully worked as a provincial governor and an official of the
central apparatus. The count did not seek “politics” with its intrigues and “parties”, but at the end of the reign of the stern Anna Ioannovna he came under
investigation, which ended with a death sentence and confiscation of property,
followed by the replacement of the execution by exile to the Solovetsky monastery. Investigative materials demonstrate instability in the upper echelons of
society, when even loyal functionaries lost their careers, property, and sometimes their lives overnight
The masquerade image in news media texts 2020-2024
Authors: Segal N.A. , Mishchenko A.N. , Bogdanovich G. Yu
Published: December 2024

The article examines the linguistic peculiarities of the masquerade image in news media texts of 2020-2024. The research is aimed at systematizing scientific research devoted to the theoretical analysis of news texts formation through the use of imaginative means. The main research methods used in this article are descriptive and interpretative, continuous sampling method, component analysis, as well as elements of quantitative analysis and modeling method, which allow to identify the connotative characteristics of the metaphor under study and its syntagmatic potential. The research material (more than 100 contexts) source was the electronic media of a sociopolitical topic published between 2020 and 2024 objectifying the image of the masquerade. As a result of the study, it was found that masquerade is actively implemented at the level of secondary nomination in contexts that destructively evaluate certain sociopolitical realities and form a sharply negative attitude towards them among the mass reader. The results of the analysis allow us to conclude about the fixed connotative potential of the masquerade image, which is relevant for sociopolitical texts..The implementation features of the studied image established in the article allow us to confirm the wide manipulative potential and the fixed negative connotation of the contexts formed in this way, which are not homogeneous in their structure and meaning and are represented by thematic groups: political actions and processes as a masquerade, the activities of political subjects as a masquerade, masquerade attributes as elements of a political structure. It is noted that masquerade as a metaphorical model is a system whose elements are in relation to each other in a position of adjacency or subordination, but may vary depending on the specific content of the context in which it is used. The initial features of the masquerade image – pretense, theatricality, disguise - find metaphorical implementation in news media texts using the examples of the studied contexts.
Polycode metaphorization in social advertising of health
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Terskikh Marina V.
Published: December 2024

The paper is devoted to the metaphorical modeling specifics of social advertising texts on health problems. The cognitive metaphor theory is taken as the basic methodology, based on the conjugation of two conceptual areas: the source domain and the target domain. The material was more than 300 texts of printed and outdoor Russian and foreign social advertising, collected by the method of directed sampling. The polycode essence of the advertising message also determined the study specifics: the article examines the metaphor of different semiotic codes – verbal and visual. As a result of the analysis, two of the most productive metaphorical models were identified – anthropomorphic and artifact models used in the development of advertising messages aimed at combating major social problems. At the same time, it is possible to highlight the obvious leadership of the anthropomorphic metaphor – both verbal and visual. The advertiser’s appeal to typical metaphorical models, in the author’s opinion, is an ambiguous tool of influence: the high frequency of models and slots of a certain type, on the one hand, ensures the correct decoding of the figurative component by the mass addressee, on the other hand, reduces the attractiveness and creativity of the advertising message. Visualization of a template metaphorical model, conversion to other types of models (zoomorphic, sociomorphic, phytomorphic, etc.) are considered as methods of individualization of metaphorized texts of social advertising. Since metaphors of different codes are often used in one advertising message, one of the aspects of the study was related to the analysis of the interaction of a visualized and verbalized metaphor (relations of complementarity, autonomy, duplication). The author pays special attention to the multifunctionality of the polycode metaphor in social advertising texts, examines the main reasons for the high frequency of this tool: semantic capacity, creativity, concretization of abstract categories, persistence, etc.
Symbolic representation in Mohsin Hamid’s novel “Exit West”
Authors: Ahmed Аkeel , Ashraf Muhammad , Shevchenko Viacheslav D.
Published: December 2024

This article contains the results of the analysis of linguistic units serving as explicit and implicit symbolic means. The relevance of this study is due to the role of modern literature in influencing the consciousness of educated segments of society. The English-language works by Pakistani authors reveal themes and address issues significant to modern Pakistani society. The linguistic means used in art works act as symbols, conveying a wide range of meanings. The purpose of the study is to conduct a critical analysis of symbolism in “Exit West” novel by Mohsin Hamid. The authors of the paper turn to the lexical means used as symbols in the novel and explore their significance for modernist literature, as well as analyze the author’s intentions reflected in the symbols used. The study examined the sources on modern Pakistani English-language literature and symbolism. The research used the methods of textual analysis, discourse analysis, as well as the method of linguistic and cognitive analysis. The authors analyze the lexical means used as symbols as well as their relationship with broader social, cultural and philosophical contexts. As a result of the conducted research, the authors come to the conclusion that the symbolism in the novel is implicit and explicit in nature and the lexical means-symbols used in the novel represent the problems of Pakistani society. This study highlights the need to identify complex semantic layers and their importance for Pakistani English-language literature.
Allegorization and personification of model images within union work argumentative discourse
Authors: Manaeva Irina V. , Malieva Zalina N.
Published: December 2024

The study is aimed at identifying the peculiarities of allegorization and personification of the model personality “teacher/mentor” abstract features in the union work argumentative discourse. Analytical and informational messages of the All-Russian Union of Education served as the material for the analysis. They were selected as specific texts based on the transmission of a model image in order to create a dichotomous space of unity that takes into account both professional and moral characteristics of a model personality. The methodological approach was the discursive and modus method with elements of event analysis, semantic and conceptual analysis, which made it possible to identify the illocutionary goals of implementing precedent names on an allegorical basis and cases of expanding the generalized content of images in the process of personification. Based on the analysis, the key characteristics of precedent names that most effectively represent a model professional personality of the linguacultural type “teacher/mentor” were identified. They included socio-cultural focus, brightness, meliorativeness, reality, historicity, fixedness, narrow specificity. The maximum effect is achieved by combining in the allegorical personification retrotopic components associated with the implementation of historical and real characteristics, and protopic ones, which are based on permanence, socio-cultural marking and meliorativeness. The implementation of protopic elements is carried out on the basis of associative situational reminiscences to precedent texts and statements with the “novum” component as a key characteristic of narrowly specific pedagogical activity. In the union discourse, due to the focus on both a competent and a broad recipient, only the superficial interpretative layer of the precedent text is actualized. The most popular precedent names of the Russian union work discourse in a narrowly specialized connection to the pedagogical activity are personalities of Russian and soviet pedagogues, personifying the model personality of “teacher/mentor” and serving as an allegory to pedagogical activity.
Cultural context of Crimean pedagogical discourse
Authors:   V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Bogdanovich Galina Yu.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this article is to identify the linguacultural component of training specialists, which serves to represent professional and personal relationships in education, implemented within the pedagogical discourse. The key theoretical propositions related to the peculiarities of institutional discourse are systematized, analyzed and interpreted. The key research methods were descriptive, interpretative, and content analysis. The relevance of the proposed research is primarily due to the attention to the linguacultural component of the language training of students, the linguistic and cognitive rethinking of the concept itself, focused on carefully selected texts presented as a discursive subgenre of modern linguistics.
Based on the fixed scheme of the pedagogical discourse, the empirical material is selected and grouped into thematic blocks. The presented cultural contexts are differentiated taking into account the professional training of communication participants. The formation of empirical material is primarily associated with the desire to fix various knowledge units about the Crimean peninsula and present them in the system of pedagogical discourse.
The complexity of the cultural context description proved in the study indicates that pedagogical discourse is a kind of communicative and pragmatic speech behavior and interaction of communication participants. It promotes familiarization of society members with behavior norms, traditions, values, the mental component of the individual and society as a whole, as well as forms respect, empathy for the country with a centuries-old history and culture.
Conceptual metaphor as the meaning embodiment of the modern folklore text
Authors:   Orenburg Theological Seminary, Ilyina Larisa E.
Published: December 2024

The article analyzes the metaphorical nature of language within the framework of cognitive linguistics and its manifestations in modern folklore texts. The study examines conceptual metaphors as universal cognitive structures. The article focuses on new genres of modern folklore and identifies the main characteristics of modern folklore texts, which enable the most generalized meaning expression. The author aims to demonstrate that conceptual metaphor, with its capacity for generalization and information condensation, embodies the meaning of modern folklore texts. The study analyzed modern folklore texts selected from a representative sample of contemporary digital sources. Methods used include content analysis, semantic analysis, cognitive analysis based on the theory of G. Lakoff and M. Johnson, inductive reasoning, modeling, and generalization. The research confirmed that conceptual metaphor is a key cognitive structure that allows for the holistic and generalized conveyance of meaning in modern folklore texts. The analysis revealed a close connection between metaphorical constructions, collective consciousness, and contemporary sociocultural realities. Parameters essential for interpreting conceptual metaphors were identified: the universality of ideas, the recurrence of key meanings, and the adaptability of traditional elements to digital environments. Mapping metaphorical transfers revealed universal ideas and helped formulate conceptual metaphors reflecting the content of the texts. In conclusion, it is argued that conceptual metaphor serves not only as a means of structuring cognitive space but also as a tool for adapting complex cultural and social phenomena to human perception. Its use in modern folklore texts facilitates the transmission of collective experience and worldview under conditions of globalization, urbanization, and digitalization. This study deepens the understanding of the mechanisms of meaning formation in contemporary culture and underscores the significance of metaphor in comprehending sociocultural transformations.

Dairy raw materials quality evaluation under conditions of intensive robotic and baromembrane technologies
Authors: Chechenikhina Olga S. , Lazarev Vladimir A.
Published: December 2024

The objective of the article boils down to evaluate raw milk quality obtained under conditions of intensive robotic and baromembrane technologies for increasing microbiological stability. The article presents the analysis of phys icochemical, biotechnological and microbiological parameters of raw milk produced using the Lely Astronaut A4 ro botic milking system in comparison with milking into a milk pipeline using the DA-2M "Maiga" apparatus, subjected to baromembrane "cold" sterilization on CMFE microfiltration membranes. It has been established that the use of intensive robotic technologies - the Lely Astronaut A4 robotic milking system - allows to increase milk yield by an average of 12% compared to milking into a milk pipeline, reduce bacterial contamination of milk to less than 500 thousand bacteria in 1 ml and reduce titratable acidity by 0.17 °T. The authors have shown that optimal microbiologi cal parameters of milk are achieved by the microfiltration method. It has been established that during microfiltration sterilization of pre-skimmed milk on CMFE membranes, 99.9% of spores and bacteria are removed. To normalize the fat content of milk after baromembrane "cold" sterilization, the required amount of cream, sterilized by the classical thermal method with subsequent homogenization, is added.

Inclusion Norms in Ontario Settlement Agencies as Workplaces: Between Prefiguration and Systemic Exclusion
Authors: Séguin Michaël , Briciu Bianca , MacDonald Amy , Okunlola Michael , Zohni Sahar , Kouri Christine
Published: December 2024

This article examines the issue of inclusivity within nonprofit organizations as workplaces, focusing on the perspective of immigrant frontline workers of the Ontario settlement sector. Using a community-based collaborative approach, 25 frontline workers were invited to describe their experiences of integration of differences at work, involvement in decision-making, and equitable working conditions. Eight managers from the same agencies were also interviewed to better understand the policies and practices in their organization. The semi-directed interviews revealed that, while most organizations successfully integrate differences, there are some significant limitations regarding the involvement of immigrant frontline workers in decision-making and fair employment practices. This demonstrates a persistent form of systemic exclusion at the heart of Canada’s cultural mosaic.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of creep feed containing Indigofera and Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggot meal and Indigofera on the performance and meat quality of Dorper lambs. The study involved 21 male lambs aged 3 months with an average weight of 20.03 ± 1.71 kg. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 7 replications was used, namely PM = Martabe feed, P1 = Indigofera creep feed, and P2 = BSF maggot creep feed. Parameters observed included performance, carcass characteristics, physical meat quality, nutrient composition, and fatty acid profile of Dorper lamb meat. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and significant differences were further analyzed using Duncan's test. The results showed that P2 significantly increased (p<0.05) consumption, daily weight gain, and carcass percentage compared to the other treatments. Although P1 did not show a significant difference in performance compared to the other treatments, it significantly affected (p<0.05) the protein content and improved the fatty acid profile of the meat. In conclusion, PM showed lower FCR and higher carcass percentage. P1 increased crude protein content of the meat, although it did not significantly affect physical meat quality. P2 improved ADG and carcass percentage of Dorper lambs compared to P1.

Indonesia dikatakan sebagai negara agraris karena berlimpahnya simpanan kebutuhan pangan yang esensial di sektor pertanian. Sektor pertanian ini menjadi acuan dalam keberlangsungan hidup manusia saat ini hingga masa depan. Krisis bencana kekeringan ini terjadi di Grobogan, Jawa Tengah yang terjadi karena beberapa faktor salah satunya adalah faktor antropogenik yang berupa banyaknya petani dalam memproduksi dan memelihara lahan pertanian dengan menggunakan pupuk anorganik. Maka dari itu, diperlukan penelitian untuk membandingkan pupuk cair, mengidentifikasi faktor eksternal dan internal dari pertumbuhan tanaman, dan menganalisis efektivitas dari pupuk. Penelitian terbagi menjadi dua tahap waktu, yakni waktu inkubasi larutan dan waktu pengamatan pertumbuhan tanaman dengan menggunakan media tanam yang berupa polybag. Pupuk yang menjadi sumber pengamatan, yakni Pupuk Organik Cair, pupuk eco enzyme, dan pupuk Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, terlihat bahwa dari ketiga pupuk tersebut memiliki faktor internal dan eksternal yang berpengaruh dalam masa pertumbuhan. Faktor internal dapat berupa hormon pertumbuhan Sedangkan faktor eksternal yang berpengaruh dalam pertumbuhan, yakni kondisi lingkungan (suhu, pH, kelembapan, cahaya matahari, dan tanah). Terlihat bahwa pupuk yang paling efektif untuk dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan mempercepat pertumbuhan tanaman adalah pupuk Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria.

Demand for garlic continues to increase, but national production is not sufficient, with almost 95% of garlic demand met through imports. To overcome dependence on imports, a domestic garlic development strategy is very important. This article explores the footprint and prospects of garlic development, highlighting the efforts that have been made and the potential for future development. Based on the latest research and data, this article describes the prognosis for garlic production and consumption needs, the challenges faced, and the latest innovations in cultivation and marketing. An analysis of garlic exports, imports and trade balance is also presented. By considering existing opportunities and challenges, this paper summarizes the prospects for garlic development in the context of agricultural growth and the changing dynamics of global market demand. A focus on increasing production, procuring sufficient seeds and implementing efficient technology were identified as keys to achieving garlic self-sufficiency. With the right steps, it is hoped that the country can significantly reduce imports and strengthen food security.

Sektor transportasi merupakan salah satu penyumbang utama emisi gas rumah kaca (GRK) di Kota Bogor, yang berdampak pada penurunan kualitas udara dan perubahan iklim. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi strategi mitigasi dan adaptasi yang paling relevan untuk menurunkan emisi GRK dari sektor transportasi di Kota Bogor. Berdasarkan analisis, peremajaan armada angkutan umum muncul sebagai strategi mitigasi paling efektif, dengan bobot prioritas tertinggi. Kebijakan ini melibatkan penggantian kendaraan lama dengan teknologi ramah lingkungan, seperti bus listrik atau berbahan bakar gas. Selain itu, reformasi sistem transit dan penerapan manajemen parkir mendukung pengurangan emisi melalui peningkatan aksesibilitas transportasi umum dan pengendalian penggunaan kendaraan pribadi. Di sisi lain, strategi adaptasi seperti pembatasan jumlah kendaraan dan peningkatan ruang terbuka hijau juga dinilai penting untuk mengurangi kepadatan lalu lintas dan meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan. Rekomendasi kebijakan mencakup integrasi berbagai strategi ini melalui insentif finansial, pembaruan regulasi, dan edukasi publik untuk menciptakan sistem transportasi yang berkelanjutan dan rendah emisi. Penelitian ini memberikan panduan strategis bagi pemerintah daerah dalam merumuskan kebijakan transportasi ramah lingkungan yang efektif di Kota Bogor.

Nilai perusahaan merupakan indikator penting dalam memberikan signal mengenai tingkat kemakmuran principal. Riset ini menginvestigasi dampak pengungkapan emisi karbon terhadap nilai perusahaan, dengan kinerja keuangan sebagai pemoderasi. Sampel riset sebanyak 84 perusahaan terindeks SRI-KEHATI periode 2019-2022 yang dianalisis menggunakan regresi linear berganda dengan Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Hasil penelitian secara parsial menunjukkan pengaruh signifikan positif pengungkapan emisi karbon terhadap nilai perusahaan. Kinerja keuangan yang diukur dengan ROA tidak mampu memoderasi pengaruh pengungkapan emisi karbon terhadap nilai perusahaan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa kinerja keuangan tidak memberikan jaminan bahwa perusahaan memiliki dana yang memadai dalam memberikan pengungkapan biaya emisi karbon. Penelitian ini memberikan dukungan pada Signaling Theory mengenai peran penting pengungkapan informasi dalam peningkatan nilai perusahaan.

This study aims to examine the impact of stakeholder involvement, namely foreign and institutional ownership, on ESG disclosure and how the relationship is moderated by the independent board of commissioners. This study uses a sample of 108 manufacturing companies listed on the IDX during the 2019-2021 period. Data analysis was carried out using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method using a random effect model. The results showed that foreign ownership, institutional ownership, and independent boards of commissioners have a positive influence on ESG disclosure. In addition, an independent board of commissioners is proven to strengthen the effect of institutional ownership on ESG disclosure. In contrast, company size as a control variable has no impact on ESG disclosure. This study suggests companies in the manufacturing sub-sector increase ESG disclosure, which can be encouraged through the presence of foreign and institutional ownership.
