IMPLEMENTASI PENERIMA RADIO FM (FM RADIO RECEIVER) MENGGUNAKAN SOFTWARE GNU RADIO DAN RTL-SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO (RTL-SDR)
Authors: Iswanto Iswanto
Published: October 2022

Pertukaran data analog dan digital menggunakan media wireless semakin banyak digunakan dengan meningkatnya dukungan ketersedian terhadap hardware maupun software. Peralatan utama komunikasi data menggunakan media wireless adalah perangkat radio dan modem. Perangkat radio dan modem sering diintegrasi menjadi satu, menjadi sebuah unit perangkat radio modem. Perangkat radio konvensional hanya bisa beroperasi pada spektrum frekuensi tertentu, tidak bisa beroperasi pada frekuensi rendah sampai frekuensi tinggi, sehingga perangkat radio dibuat khusus untuk pengirim/penerima sinyal pada frekuensi tertentu misalnya radio untuk HF, VHF, UHF dan seterusnya. Untuk mengatasi keterbatasan jangkauan frekuensi operasi dari perangkat radio, saat ini telah ada teknologi yang bisa menggantikan sebagian komponen hardware radio dengan menggunakan software, yang disebut dengan Software Defined Radio (SDR). Untuk membangun SDR telah tersedia perangkat lunak bantu (software development tool), diantaranya adalah Gnu Radio Companion (GRC).

Pada penelitian ini dikembangkan sebuah SDR yang berfungsi sebagai penerima siaran radio FM,  menggunakan GNU Radio Companion  sebagai development tool dan RTL-SDR Realtek RTL2832U sebagai perangkat front-end penerima sinyal radio. Hasil uji fungsi menunjukkan SDR yang dikembangkan mampu menerima sinyal dari stasiun pemancar Radio FM dengan jangkauan kurang lebih 20 km, mampu memproses dan membangkitkan suara/audio komputer dan mampu menampilkan grafik spektrum frekuensi pada layar monitor komputer. Penelitian ini diharapkan ditindak lanjuti dengan implementasi SDR untuk kepentingan yang lebih luas seperti misalnya implementasi mendengarkan aircraft traffic control conversations, tracking aircraft positions berbasis ADS-B, melihat siaran TV analog, portable radio scanner pada  Android, penerima sinyal GPS., alat spectrum analyzer, searching RF noise sources dan masih banyak aplikasi lainnya.

Improving thermal comfort in the urban landscape of housing communities in tropical climate: A case study of Bang Chalong Community, Thailand
Authors: Janpathompong Shusak , Chatakul Paron
Published: October 2022

In developing countries, low-income housings seem to sacrifice quality over quantity. For a tropical country such as Thailand, where the temperature remains consistently high throughout the year, thermal comfort impacts living quality, especially in urban areas. Bang Chalong Community is a cluster of densely arranged mid-rise apartments in Samut Prakan, the peri-urban area of Bangkok, chosen by the NHA (National Housing Authority) to improve its living quality as a pilot project. While current literature investigates and explores solutions to mitigate thermal comfort in buildings, few studies focus on outdoor areas adjacent to buildings. This research aims to assess the outdoor hot-spot of the community, proposes appropriate attributes and design approaches to improve urban landscape elements leading to comfortable conditions, and recommends landscape design strategies for similar future development. The thermal condition was conducted using the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) data logger on 25 locations. The ambient temperature (TG) was used as the indicator for thermal comfort. It is found that critical attributes affecting the thermal condition are 1) the type of surfaces – hardscape or soft scape, and 2) the amount of surface and time exposed to solar energy – shade or sunlight. The thermal comfort improvement, including potential uses by landscape design, was proposed under four strategies; shading, added green, orientation & ventilation, and functional refinement. They are recommended to create suitable thermal comfort by landscape design for future development of a similar type

Published: October 2022

Actinopyga echinites are among the commercially exploited sea cucumbers; however, limited studies hinder the management interventions for the sustainability of the resource. This study investigates the density and size distribution of A. echinites populations in Cabgan Island, Barobo, Surigao del Sur from March–August 2021 with two stations (shallow seagrass beds as Station 1 and algal flats as Station 2) having three plots (100 m2) laid as monitoring stations. The results revealed the population density of A. echinites ranged from 567–2,567 ind/ha with a mean of 1,572 ± 225 ind/ha in Station 1 and 733–2,400 ind/ha and a mean of 1,389 ± 178 ind/ha in Station 2. Significant differences were only observed across months in each station (P = 0.00) and their interaction between months and stations (P = 0.01). A. echinites had a mean length of 7.58 ± 0.26 cm and weight of 31.39 ± 1.62 g for Station 1 and 7.84 ± 0.47 cm and 39.01 ± 3.91 g for Station 2. Specimens in Station 2 had a greater length and significantly heavier weight than in Station 1 (P = 0.00). Across months, significant differences were recorded for the specimen’s length in Station 1 and weight for both stations. The length of A. echinites ranged from 4–12 cm and 4–13.5 cm in Stations 1 and 2, respectively, and weight of 5–129 g in both stations. The highest frequencies were recorded at 7 cm in both stations and shifted to 9 cm. Weight distributions showed the highest frequencies in 35 g in the two stations. The present study shows that the population is still abundant and is more influenced by the sampling months than the stations. The species are smaller compared to other studies and might exhibit habitat preferences. Weight size distribution varied across months and could be related to their reproduction. The study provides significant insights needed for this species’ conservation and fishery management.
Spatiotemporal Asymmetric Modeling of the Long Run Response of Corn Productivity to Environmental Variabilities
Authors: Pantolla Hernan
Published: October 2022

A spatiotemporal statistical model for the corn productivity of Bulacan using local and global variables was generated. The data from January 1995–September 2019 for a total of 99 quarters were used. Necessary imputations and conversions aside from a transformation technique were done to match the data and generate the best fitting model. The nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag was used to determine the asymmetric long-run effects on the corn production volume of the province to the potential positive and negative changes in the amount of rainfall, minimum temperature, maximum temperature, the water level of Angat Dam, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, and sea surface temperature anomaly. It also included the land area harvested as a deterministic factor. The findings show that the corn production of the selected area responds to both negative and positive shocks to the rainfall amount and availability of water supply in the dam in the long run. It also shows that the long-term effects of an increase in the minimum temperature are detrimental, whereas rising levels of carbon dioxide concentration in the environment could be profoundly contributory to the dependent variable, at least in a direct manner. Several diagnostic tests substantiated the fitness of the econometric model. The empirical findings of this study extend the generally collective results of existing literature. It may also be used as a basis for plans of action for sustainable production practices of the grain, as well as other crops in the uncertain future amidst the threat of environmental stresses.

Published: October 2022

The alarming presence of COVID-19 challenged the United Nations’ (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 2 and made the World Health Organization (WHO) declare a public health emergency of international concern. Imposed lockdowns disrupted the supply and demand chain of the food systems, hence affecting food security. This research would like to know and assess the early effect (two months after the lockdown) of the enhanced community quarantine on food security in the Philippines. An online survey was employed participated by 331 household representatives using a survey instrument containing food security assessment, household socio- demographic characteristics, behavioral responses covering food purchase and consumption behavior, and emergency measure adoption. Statistical tests were applied: Mann-Whitney U test to know the behavioral response of the food secure vs. food insecure households, as well as the phi coefficient and Cramer’s V test to determine and assess the parameters that plays important role in food security during this period. Results showed that 73% of the respondents were food insecure. The early effect of the lockdown was seen in the behavioral responses, significant differences between food secure and insecure households were found in age, income, and food purchase behavior. Parameters associated with food security are age, income, food allocation, expectations on the livelihood impact and change in expenditure, and the adoption motivations in practicing backyard gardening. The stress evaluation revealed that while Filipinos tried to cope, an increased level of anxiety was experienced. The need for clear measures in terms of preparedness in any pandemic situation was heightened. These findings are significant in providing benchmark information on food security during a pandemic.
Linking Thallus Morphology with P-I Curves of 50 Macrobenthic Algae from Bolinao, Pangasinan, Philippines
Authors: Saco Jayvee , Ganzon-Fortes Edna
Published: October 2022

This study demonstrated that thallus morphology could affect a species’ capacity to utilize light for photosynthesis and, hence, will affect its productivity. Fifty (50) macroalgal species collected from an intertidal habitat in Bolinao, Pangasinan, Philippines were grouped into five “functional-forms” based on their inferred productivity: functional-form group (FFG) A: very thin tubes/sheets/strips, FFG B: thin sheets/delicately branched, FFG C: medium-thick blade/coarsely branched with dense ramuli, FFG D: heavily thick branches/segments or with moderate calcification, and FFG E: heavily calcified. Their photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) curves were determined through the measurement of oxygen evolved in a closed system after 1-h incubation under six different light treatments. P-I curve parameters such as Pnmax, Ik, Ic, α, and Rd were assessed to determine the groups’ physiological responses to light. The thickness of thallus blades, coarseness of branches, complex branching, and calcification appeared to lessen photosynthetic capacity, as shown by the significantly decreasing trend of Pnmax from FFGs A–E. FFG A also showed the steepest slope (highest mean α value) compared with the rest of the functional-form groups, indicating their efficiency to utilize low light for photosynthesis. Light saturation and compensation values were less distinct in differentiating the functional form groups, probably because the seaweeds examined were all collected from the same shallow intertidal zone, suggesting their acclimation to similar photon flux densities. Results from this study fit the prediction of the function form hypothesis for seaweeds quite well.
Geopolitics and International Negotiations: Challenges and Options for Bangladesh
Authors: Aynul Islam Mohammad , Molla Rubel
Published: October 2022

The paradigm shifts in the centre of gravity of global power, growing multipolarity, and enhanced role of small powers in international relations have been affecting the negotiation strategies around the world in recent decades. Moreover, the relative decline of the US’ hegemonic influence and rise of China and India as major regional powers have relocated the geostrategic tilt of the world towards Asia. Consequently, the power politics within international relations has created more geopolitical hotspots, overlapping political and economic partnerships, and risks of conflict. These emerging realities have also been creating strategic uncertainties in the Asian region. Balancing the emerging geopolitical realities and enhancing cooperation by minimizing the competition within the great power rivalry are the major challenges facing the countries of this region. Bangladesh, being a key littoral of the Bay of Bengal and hub of regional and interregional trade and commercial activities, needs to balance and negotiate these emerging challenges in order to uphold its national interests. Bangladesh is applying negotiation as a key instrument to find solutions to bilateral and multilateral issues with its neighbours. Bangladesh is efficiently navigating and balancing the geopolitical competition in this region and has achieved remarkable success, particularly with regard to climate negotiation, solving the land boundary and maritime disputes with its neighbours, trade negotiations, and ensuring vaccine supply. Balancing the China-US and China-India competition in the Indo Pacific region and ensuring Bangladesh’s economic interests by navigating the competition, achieving the sustainability of the post- LDC graduation development momentum, dealing with the Myanmar and Rohingya problem, and managing the complexity of water sharing, however, remain the main challenges to the success of the country’s negotiation strategy. This paper argues that Bangladesh should not direct its foreign policy goals and negotiation approach towards any radical realignment or join security alliances considering its domestic development aspirations but, rather, should move forward with a balancing strategy. This balancing strategy should include an adaptive approach that could enable Bangladesh to maximize its national interests by minimizing the conflicts or competition in this region and ultimately enhancing the strategic culture of the country.

Published: October 2022

Background: There is no gold standard diagnostic test for endolymphatic hydrops (EH). Three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) imaging has been reported to depict EH with administration of gadolinium-based contrast media (GBCM). However, the optimal scan interval and angulation remain unknown in 3D-FLAIR labyrinthine imaging following double-dose injections of a gadolinium-based contrast agent in patients with vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the optimal parameters of 3D-FLAIR labyrinthine imaging, including the optimal scan angulation and scan interval, for patients with sensorineural hearing loss and vertigo. Patients and Methods: In this cross-sectional clinical study, following the double-dose administration of a gadolinium contrast agent, 3D-FLAIR labyrinthine images were acquired from 22 patients with unilateral vertigo and sensorineural hearing loss at different intervals after injection. The corresponding contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) and signal-intensity ratios (SIRs) of these images, acquired at different intervals, were measured. Moreover, separate visualization of endolymphatic and perilymphatic spaces was scored, and angulation of the anterior skull base scan was investigated in the sagittal position. Results: The 3D-FLAIR images showed the strongest image contrast in the cochlea with a double-dose gadolinium-based contrast injection at six hours post-injection. Significantly higher SIR and CNR values were reported at six hours post-injection in both unaffected and affected ears compared to other intervals (4 h vs. 6 h in the affected side, SIR: 1.65 ± 0.24 vs. 2.09 ± 0.47, CNR: 13.88 ± 5.54 vs. 19.17 ± 6.81; in the unaffected side, SIR: 1.58 ± 0.27 vs. 1.82 ± 0.34, CNR: 12.20 ± 3.88 vs. 15.42 ± 4.58, P < 0.001 for all; 6 h vs. 8 h in the affected side: SIR: 2.09 ± 0.47 vs. 1.72 ± 0.43, CNR: 19.17 ± 6.81 vs. 12.22 ± 4.96; in the unaffected side, SIR: 1.82 ± 0.34 vs. 1.57 ± 0.30, CNR: 15.42 ± 4.58 vs. 10.61 ± 3.87, P < 0.001 for all). Visualization of the endo- and perilymphatic spaces for both the cochlea and vestibule was significantly better at six hours post-injection compared to four hours post-injection in both affected sides (P < 0.05 for both). The optimal angulation ranged from 6.20° to 13.6° (P < 0.001). Conclusion: By using an optimal scan interval, together with an optimal scan angulation, 3D-FLAIR imaging can reliably visualize the endolymphatic space and sensitively indicate cochlear blood-labyrinth barrier disruptions without requiring extra image reconstruction.

Simulation of turbulent flow in a two-stroke grail engine cylinder
Authors: Syed Shoeb , Oyekola Peter
Published: October 2022

This paper investigates the implementation of computational fluid dynamics for the analysis of a grail internal combustion engine. This is intended to analyse the intake hole and channel shape variables as well as their corresponding influence on the fluid flow properties within the cylinder. Due to the geometry of the engine design which features an intake valve positioned directly on the piston, the combustion efficiency is therefore heavily dependent on the flow characteristics. This necessitates the need to understand and analyse the effects of intake hole and duct geometry as well as piston motion on flow dynamics. A numerical simulation using Autodesk CFD finite element solver was used to simulate the engine flow dynamics of the Grail engine. The results of the analysis show a violent tornado-like effect in the flow field as well as an observable swirl effect characterized by a cylinder-centred single vortex. The resultant flow field obtainable from the design of the Grain engines will therefore allow an ideal homogeneous/stoichiometric fuel-air mixture for increased combustion efficiency. The result of both 3-D static and dynamic simulations of the flow through the engine provided guidelines on the selection of several geometrical parameters for optimal performance. The pressure inside the cylinder of the Grail Engine is validated with the experimental setup. The values of TKE obtained from the numerical simulation are well within the limits obtained from the references.

Published: October 2022

As industrial systems represent a complex socio-technical system, it is necessary to analyse the impact of manageroperator-machine interaction on industrial safety, as categories of contextual factors. However, modern scientific literature indicates insufficient research on this topic. This paper has an aim to empirically analyse behavioural style and transport and mining machines operators' attitudes in the safety climate context. Participants in this study were 28 crane's and 65 mining machinery's (excavators, bucket wheel excavators, bulldozers, loaders, graders, backhoe loaders, trenchers, dump trucks and scrapers) operators working in Serbian industrial companies. In the first step there is conducted descriptive statistics and followed by Kolmogorov's and U* Mann-Whitney test to examine differences. Obtained results have shown that there were not statistically significant differences both between attitudes of operators on those two kinds of machines, namely, there are no statistically significant differences in terms of absenteeism due to poor working conditions, atmosphere of cooperation and togetherness among operators and the ways in which managers motivate and reward them. Between numbers of injuries at work happened by both machines' types used there are no statistical differences, too. Also, further factor analysis has shown that examined operators' and machines' characteristics divide into two factors - one is focused to anthropometric characteristics presented by height and weight while another is focused on age of operator and machine and operator's experience. It is recommended, in future research to enlarge sample, repeat statistical testing and analyse wider set of variables on examined matters in aim to discover pattern of anthropometric factors influence on behavioural factors.
The Influence of Density on the Mechanical Response of Reinforced High-Density Polyurethane Foams: A Statistical Approach
Authors: Kerche Eduardo Fischer , Da Cruz Joziel Aparecido , Amico Sandro Campos
Published: October 2022

In this work, rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) reinforced by micro fibrillated cellulose (MFC) were manufactured using the free rising method and also under confinement inside a closed mould, aiming to increase apparent density and improve mechanical response. Neat RPUF were also manufactured for comparison. The mechanical response, evaluated by compression (following ASTM D1621 standard) tests were correlated with the final composite apparent density (evaluated following ASTM D1622 standard). Simple linear regression statistical models, based on F-test, were developed using stat graphics software, aiming to understand and correlate the increment in density and its influence on the improvement in mechanical response. Different models were developed to describe the foam behavior. The main results show a more significant influence of the density on strength than stiffness for the neat RPUF, unlike the MFC-reinforced RPUF, which presented an opposite response. These effects could be caused by the lower content of voids when the foams were produced under confinement, and by the greater crosslink density, when MFC was added.
Parenting Styles and Peer Influence as Correlates of Expressive Language Skills among Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Jacob Udeme Samuel , Olorunniyi Opeyemi Toluwani , Osisanya Ayo , Pillay Jace
Published: October 2022

Introduction: It is more difficult for children with limited communication to understand the intentions of others and to communicate their own needs, feelings, and ideas because of their impaired expressive language skills.

Objectives: This study investigated parenting styles and the peer-influence as correlates of expressive language skills in children with autism spectrum disorders.

Methods: Convenient sampling was used to select 30 (male = 22; female = 8; age range 6 – 14 years old) children with an autism spectrum disorder. The instruments used for data collection were tagged Parenting Style Questionnaire, Peer Influence Questionnaire, and Expressive Language Skills Scale. The internal consistency of the Parenting Style Questionnaire, Peer Influence Questionnaire, and Expressive Language Skills Scale were Cronbach's > 0.70, 0.64, and 0.63, respectively. The scale suitability for participants was determined, and it yielded a Cronbach's α of 0.79.

Results: The findings revealed that the different parenting styles, such as authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful, had a positive relationship with expressive language skills of children with autism spectrum disorder, but the relation was not significant. Moreover, peer influence positively correlated with respondents’ language skills, but it was not significant.

Conclusions: Based on the findings, it can be conclusively stated that regardless of parenting styles used, there was a positive relationship between respondents’ language skills, but the relationship was not significant. Therefore, further studies must be conducted to determine factors that are likely to contribute significantly to the language skills of children with an autism spectrum disorder.

Background: Sexuality is an integral part of adult human life, including for individuals with a disability. Even though sexuality is a fundamental right of human life, however, for a person with an intellectual disability, expressing and exploring sexuality is limited. This study aimed to determine the reliability and validity of ASQ-ID in the Indonesian language.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study designed for adaptation and validation of the Attitudes toward Sexuality Questionnaire in Intellectual Disability (ASQ-ID) of the Indonesian version was conducted in 2019. The study subjects were 617 students of Universitas Diponegoro, Indonesia. The translation process was composed of 5 steps: translation, synthesis, back translation, and semantic and conceptual analysis testing. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with principal component analysis (PCA) as a method of extraction and varimax rotation was used to identify the structure/dimensionality of observed data and identify clusters of inter-correlated variables. Pearson's r-correlation test was used to evaluate the correlation between the original and Indonesian adaptation of ASQ-ID. Cronbach-alpha was computed across all factors/sub-scales to examine the internal consistency of the adapted questionnaire.

Results: Reliability analysis showed Cronbach alpha and composite reliability of items of the Indonesia version of ASQ-ID was high. EFA analysis revealed 7 emerging factors and 28 items of solutions. The items were re-group into 4 sub-scales based on the original ASQ-ID sub-scales.

Conclusion: The Indonesian version of ASQ-ID has high validity and reliability in measuring the attitudes toward sexuality in individuals with ID.

Background: Oral chemotherapy performance measures were first introduced into ASCO’s Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) in 2013. This study examined performance on these measures among QOPI-participating practices and evaluated whether it differed among practices based on meeting QOPI Certification Program standards. Methods: A total of 192 QOPI-participating practices (certified, n=50 [26%]; not certified, n=142 [74%]) reported performance on oral chemotherapy measures in 2017 and 2018. Inclusion was limited to practices reporting on ≥3 charts for ≥1 oral chemotherapy measure. Performance was defined as the percentage of charts examined that adhered to the measure. Descriptive analyses were used to characterize performance within and across practices, and mixed-effects logistic regression models were conducted to compare performance based on certification status. Results: Median performance across practices for the 9 oral chemotherapy measures examined ranged from 44% (education before the start of treatment addressing missed doses, toxicities, and clinical contact instructions [composite measure]) to 100% (documented dose, documented plan, and education about toxicities). Certified practices were more likely to provide education about clinic contact instructions than noncertified practices (odds ratio, 4.87; 95% CI, 1.00–24.0). Performance on all other measures was not significantly associated with certification status. Conclusions: There is wide variability in quality related to performance on oral chemotherapy measures across all QOPI-participating practices, and several areas were identified in which administration of oral chemotherapy could be improved. Our findings highlight the need for the development and implementation of appropriate standards that apply to oral chemotherapy and address the complexities that set it apart from parenteral treatment.

A energia solar fotovoltaica é um fenômeno proveniente da geração de corrente elétrica após expor determinado material à luz. O panorama geral acerca da utilização crescente de energias renováveis, em especial da energia fotovoltaica, mostra-se promissor, também como uma necessidade de evolução das matrizes energéticas utilizadas no planeta. Esse cenário também se aplica à região de Sobral, no Ceará (CE), apresentando índices encorajadores à produção de energia solar. O objetivo geral deste trabalho consistiu em dimensionar um sistema de energia solar fotovoltaica conectado à rede elétrica em Sobral - CE, com o intuito de analisar a viabilidade financeira de sua implementação na Universidade Federal do Ceará – Campus Mucambinho. O objeto de análise foi um determinado bloco da universidade e respectivo campus, pertencente à modalidade tarifária A4 – horo-sazonal verde. Através do pré-dimensionamento do sistema, com a determinação da quantidade e modelo de módulos e inversores a serem utilizados, com a adoção de alguns parâmetros para determinar os gastos com fiação e manutenção e com estrutura de sustentação dos módulos nas coberturas dos prédios, é possível estimar um valor de implantação desta usina. A manutenção apresenta preço reduzido por ser um sistema de manutenção simples. É possível notar que a economia ao fim do primeiro ano será de aproximadamente R$ 626.133,00. Com posse do valor do investimento a ser feito pela universidade e da economia estabelecida após o primeiro ano, é possível comparar a viabilidade econômica do projeto utilizando três fatores importantes: payback, Valor Presente Líquido (VPL) e Taxa Interna de Retorno (TIR). Mediante a utilização de um período de 25 anos para análise do payback, verificou-se que, após esse intervalo, o lucro obtido com a usina de energia solar é de 373,75% do valor investido. A análise do VPL, por sua vez, revelou que o projeto irá trazer retorno logo após o sétimo ano, sendo o lucro após o 25º ano de cerca de 106,68% do valor investido. Quanto ao cálculo do TIR, encontrou-se um valor para esse projeto de 18,68%. Considerando as análises realizadas e os objetivos do presente estudo, conclui-se que o projeto se apresenta viável.

Metais pesados compreendem uma classe de metais com densidade superior a 5g/cm3 que em concentrações mínimas exercem funções importantes para os seres vivos, porém, quando em altas concentrações se tornam tóxicos para os organismos e para o meio ambiente. A liberação destes metais pesados na natureza está frequentemente relacionada a ações antropogênicas, como nas indústrias, na agricultura e nas atividades de mineração. Portanto, o monitoramento destes poluentes é de grande importância, a fim de evitar danos ao meio ambiente e aos seres vivos. A utilização de organismos ou comunidades de organismos como bioindicadores é um método de monitoramento ambiental bastante vantajoso, visto que há a possibilidade de avaliação dos impactos ao longo do tempo, as análises não são tendenciosas e apresentam resultados confiáveis. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo compilar artigos dos últimos 20 anos sobre organismos utilizados como bioindicadores da contaminação por metais pesados no meio ambiente. Dentre estes organismos destacaram-se as plantas, mamíferos, microrganismos, aves, peixes e insetos com notório potencial bioindicador de uma ampla gama de metais pesados. Diante da dinâmica ambiental, a obtenção de diferentes dados de bioindicadores para o monitoramento de um local se torna necessária para a obtenção de resultados mais precisos e rápidos.

A busca pelo manejo responsável dos recursos naturais constitui uma das principais necessidades para combater à degradação do solo, principalmente da Caatinga brasileira. Para isso é essencial que a realidade de quem usa a terra nessa região seja estudada. Nesta conjuntura, o Ceará se destaca por ser um estado que 95% do seu território se encontram no semiárido e que para manter sua produção agropecuária precisa diminuir a cobertura vegetal natural. Este artigo objetiva analisar a dinâmica do uso da terra no Ceará no período de 1985 a 2019. Para tanto, foram utilizados os dados estatísticos extraídos do Projeto MapBiomas com intervalos de 5 anos, comparando-os a partir da utilização de mapas em escala de pixel 30m, contemplando todo o território cearense. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o Ceará sofreu uma grande redução das florestas (natural e plantada) principalmente nos anos de 1985, 2000 e 2019 e um aumento gradativo das áreas ocupadas pela agropecuária no mesmo período. Observou-se a expansão do uso e ocupação da terra no estado, diminuindo as regiões de vegetação a partir de 2000, confirmando a expansão da transição da cobertura vegetal para o uso antrópico da terra focado na agropecuária.
