Studi Tentang Hasil Tangkapan Pukat Cincin (Purse Seine) Ditinjau dari Daerah Penangkapan Ikan pada KM. Anugrah di Wilayah Laut Banda – WPP 714
Authors: Yusrizal Yusrizal , Kusumo Toni , Rachmalio Muhammad Fajar
Published: February 2022

Pelabuhan Perikanan Samudera Kendari sebagai basis utama perikanan laut pada umumnya di kawasan Indonesia Timur khususnya Sulawesi Tenggara dengan daerah penangkapan (Fishing Ground) meliputi WPP 714 dan WPP 715 yang kaya akan sumberdaya ikan pelagis maupun demersal. Potensi perikanan Sulawesi Tenggara saat ini sangat besar dengan potensi mencapai 1,5 juta ton per tahun. Faktor fisik yang sering berkaitan dengan pola persebaran sumberdaya perikanan adalah suhu permukaan laut (SPL) yang memiliki hubungan dengan produktivitas perairan, oleh sebab itu maka, pentingnya pengetahuan tentang daerah penangkapan ikan terhadap hasil tangkapan sebagai salah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan kegiatan operasi penangkapan. Pelaksanaan penelitian ini dilaksanakan di atas kapal Purse Seine yang beroperasi di Wilayah Laut Banda. Pengoperasian Purse Seine  terdiri dari kegiatan persiapan setting, purshing, hauling, brailling sampai dengan penanganan ikan hasil tangkapan. Tetapi daerah penangkapan hanya berdasarkan kebiasaan menangkap ikan di tempat tersebut jadi hasil tangkapan tergantung pada kondisi saat itu. Maka dari itu diperlukan analisis fishing ground dengan menganalisis komposisi hasil tangkapan pada setiap daerah penangkapan dan suhu permukaan laut (SPL). Hasil dari penelitian ini mendapatkan persentase hasil tangkapan dominan tertangkap ikan layang sebanyak 57,28% (45.476 kg), perairan pulau Wawonii merupakan daerah penangkapan ikan tertinggi yaitu 2.407 kg dan variabel independen spl (X) berpengaruh nyata terhadap hasil tangkapan (Y).

Authors: Sudrajat Danu , Syamsuddin Syarif , Muallim Rahmat , La Kule Rusandi
Published: February 2022

Penangkapan ikan di kawasan Ternate Maluku Utara bersifat terbuka sehingga nelayan sering kali mengabaikan kelestarian sumber daya ikan meskipun sumber daya ini dapat pulih (renewable resources). Nelayan dalam melakukan aktivitas penangkapan cenderung tidak memperhatikan ikan layak tangkap dan bebas melakukan penangkapan serta daerah penangkapan. Tujuan penelitian untuk menganalisis ikan cakalang yang tertangkap di perairan Ternate yang meliputi jumlah hasil tangkapan, ukuran panjang dan bobot ikan. Semoga hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai referensi dalam menyusun pengelolaan perikanan cakalang di kawasan Ternate Maluku Utara. Data yang diambil adalah data panjang cagak ikan dan bobot ikan, hasil tangkapan pole and line. Selama penelitian, jumlah data adalah sebanyak 750 ekor, dengan 10 ekor setiap pemancingan (setting). Model pertumbuhan yang dihasilkan untuk ikan cakalang di kawasan Ternate Maluku Utara pada setiap bulan penangkapan adalah b >3. Hal tersebut menunjukkan pola pertumbuhan alometrik positif, yang berarti penambahan bobot lebih cepat dibanding pertumbuhan panjang ikan. Rataan panjang cagak (FL) ikan cakalang yang tertangkap yaitu 35-44 cm dan setiap bulan menunjukkan hasil yang sama. Mengacu pada Lm di perairan Maluku Utara sebesar 43 cm, ikan cakalang yang tertangkap pada Februari sampai dengan Mei didominasi oleh ikan tidak layak tangkap.

La filiación natural como novedad en la visión del trabajo. Aproximaciones desde la antropología trascendental de Leonardo Polo
Authors: Guerra-Lamadrid Priscila
Published: February 2022

En este trabajo se estudia la propuesta filosófica de Leonardo Polo en torno al trabajo humano como encargo divino. Distinguimos el plano natural del sobrenatural para profundizar en el primero, en lo que concierne al respaldo de la filiación natural en la visión trascendental del trabajo. Tanto el descubrimiento de la persona como el sentido de su trabajo se engarzan en la relación nativa (Origen) y final (Destino) que existe entre el hombre y Dios. Éste es un aporte a la defensa actual de la dignidad humana y explica el modo en el que la persona, mediante sus obras y aceptaciones, es capaz de enriquecer su unidad de vida, su entorno social e histórico, y así, trascender.
El sentido del dolor según Leonardo Polo
Authors: Sanguineti Juan-José
Published: February 2022

El dolor nace de la sensibilidad ante la privación de un bien que tiene que ver con la vida y sus funciones. Cuando afecta a la persona de un modo grave e irremediable, aparece como incomprensible e insuperable. Hegel pone el significado del dolor en la negatividad del espíritu. El dolor surge del carácter dialéctico del ser y así está instalado en Dios. Leonardo Polo sostiene la ininteligibilidad del sufrimiento humano. La persona no sólo sufre, sino que su existencia misma es dolorosa. Su última raíz es el pecado. Lo único que da sentido al sufrimiento humano es la Pasión de Cristo, en la que el dolor y el mal voluntario son vencidos por el amor.
¿Libertad para el mal?: ¿Cómo hay que entender la compatibilidad entre el mal y la libertad en el hombre?
Authors: Ferrer Urbano
Published: February 2022

Con este artículo se pretende indagar en el origen del mal moral. Se comienza planteando las aporías que se suscitan entre la libertad y el mal, así como entre el no ser del mal y sus efectos perniciosos. Remontándonos al primer pecado, intentamos responder al interrogante sobre cómo en la obra de la creación, buena en sí misma, pudo introducirse el mal y acudimos para ello al autoengaño sobre la jerarquía de los bienes, posibilitado por la noción poliana de límite mental. Por fin, examinamos cómo tras el primer pecado quedan deformados el conocimiento cabal del bien y la distinción nítida entre los medios y el fin, que son condiciones para el obrar con rectitud.
Application of Digital Data Analysis Technology in Education
Authors:   Moscow State Pedagogical University (MPGU), Vice-Director of Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Russia, Kovalev Evgeniy E.
Published: February 2022

The main directions of digitalization of the education system are considered, the infrastructural and technological aspect of new strategic directions of development is analyzed. The author analyzed information systems and services in education, taking into account the possibility of using technologies for analytical data processing. The problem of using data analytics tools in education at present is the lack of uniform formats and tools for integrating information systems. Data in education accumulates in various solutions that do not share the results of the educational process. Based on this, it is impossible to build a clear system of end-to-end interaction between systems on common platforms. The author aims to solve this problem by modeling an integrated solution for data analysis at all levels of education. The article proposes technical and organizational solutions for the creation of integrated analytics services that allow accumulating and transmitting data on educational results during the transition of a student between learning levels. The analysis tools are based on the use of big data technologies.
A University as a Driving Force of Ecological Initiatives for Society
Authors:   Prof. PhD. Eng., AGH University of Science & Technology, Department of Environmental Engineering, Cracow, Poland, Sobczyk Wiktoria
Published: February 2022

This paper emphasizes the role of universities in encouraging ecological initiatives for sustainable development. We characterized the origin of sustainability and its consistency with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Moreover, we present ecological education as the concept of lifelong learning in the spirit of respect for the natural world. The examples of pro-ecological higher education initiatives were described, such as Poznan School of Logistics (“EKO-LOG” programme), Jan Kochanowski University of Kielce and the University of Social and Medical Sciences in Warsaw (education of ethnic minorities), Andrzej Frycz-Modrzewski Krakow University and the University of Agriculture in Krakow (Friend of the National Park educational program) as well as the AGH University of Science and Technology (continuing education). It has been shown that schools and universities play a major role in environmental education not only for children, but also adults. It is worth mentioning that the potential and clout of universities should be continuously employed in the environmental movement.

The purpose of the paper is to examine the development of the accountancy profession in Italy, with particular reference to its relationship with the State. The period under review goes from 1906 – the year in which Law no. 327 was enacted regulating the accountancy profession consistently throughout the nation – until 2005, when the professional bodies of the dottori commercialisti and the ragionieri merged. The study uses both primary and secondary sources. The primary sources are a selection of laws, decrees and regulations issued by the government over time. A second set of documents consulted is the summaries of parliamentary debates and the explicative notes to laws and regulations. The secondary sources include writings on the sociology of the professions, international publications on the relationship between State and profession and economic history treatises on the history of the accountancy profession. The sources are examined mainly using a qualitative–deductive methodology. Passing through the analysis of some relevant variables, the results of study highlight how the State have significantly influenced the development of the accountancy profession. At the same time, this study extends the observation to a poorly explored economic–social context.

Government revenue plays a paramount role in any country’s development and citizen welfare. This is done through government provision of crucial services related to development which include but not limited to finances or subsidies to business entities and citizens through the national wealth distribution. The importance of government revenue is directly correlated with other equally important outcomes. Hence, there exist an interdependence or interaction between macroeconomic variables and government revenue. Therefore, understanding the relationship between government revenue and macroeconomic variables can assist in improving a country’s economy and the development of its people. The core objective of this study was to analyze the effect of some macroeconomic variables on the South African government revenue from 1994 to 2021. Both short-run and long run relationships amongst variables were analyzed using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model. The long-run and short-run findings indicated that the level of government revenue depends on performance of the analyzed macroeconomic variables namely; balance of payments, economic growth, employment and real effective exchange rate. Employment and economic growth were found to be the major determinants of government revenue. Consequently, the study suggests that the introduction and implementation of policies and strategies that enhance employment opportunities and promote economic growth would be a fundamental way to increase government revenue and improve economic and social well-being.

Published: February 2022

The purpose of the study is to analyze the usage of the statement of cash flows (SCF) by Japanese SMEs from the perspective of preparers. The paper analyzes how institutional mandates have shaped organizational behavior, and how these mandates reflect the country’s social and cultural values. We analyze this premise in respect to the usage of the statement of cash flows by Japanese SMEs. The study relies on institutional theory and cultural values to help explain the results obtained from a survey questionnaire. We focus on financial reporting behavior when the SCF is a noncompulsory disclosure under SMEs general guidelines. We analyze different variables including intent to make a public offering and the number of professional accounting staff, and find firm size to be significantly associated with the recognition and production of the statement of cash flows. We believe that our findings will be useful to the Japanese government in designing SME economic guidance for capital growth to improve capabilities and ensure sustainability.

Introduction. The sociopolitical commotions of 1917 caused the rise of national liberation ideas in the North Caucasus. These ideas attracted representatives of various social groups of the indigenous population of the Nalchik district to the revolution. But the national question was intertwined with the task of seizing power and the economic interests of individual circles, which formed four options for solving the national question. It is necessary to pay attention to them and highlight the perspective of the picture of the events of the Civil War. Analysis. The article presents an analysis of the main variants of national ideas through the characteristics of the main characters of the dramatic period in Kabarda and Balkaria. This is, firstly, Shakmanov’s policy of national neutrality, aimed at preventing armed uprisings and civilian casualties. Secondly, this is the program of Dautokov-Serebryakov, which offered complete self-determination of Kabarda, but could not stand the collaboration with Denikin’s idea of a “great and indivisible Russia”. The third position, presented by Katkhanov, combined the national liberation aspirations of the people with religious consciousness. The fourth was manifested in the rhetoric of Kalmykov, who interpreted the early Bolshevik documents on the right of nations to self-determination in the context of a federation. Results. The complex of methods of objective historical analysis gives an understanding of some of the reasons that attracted various social groups, predominantly the agrarian population of Kabarda and Balkaria, to participate in the Civil War. Authors’ contribution. Development of the concept of the article, analysis of the results and general editing belongs to M.A. Tekueva. The introductory section was written by M.Kh. Gugova. The analysis of the idea of national independence during the Civil War in the Nalchik region was carried out by A.A. Konovalov.

Organization of Catering for Workers in Stalingrad During the First Five-Year Plan (1929–1933)
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Lunochkin Andrei , Furman Ekaterina ,   Volgograd State University
Published: February 2022

The article deals with the problem of organizing public catering for workers of large industrial enterprises in Stalingrad in the late 1920s – early 1930s, during the first five-year plan. Methods and materials. In this study traditional methods (historical-descriptive, historical-genetic, historical-comparative) and the principles of historical research (historicism, systemacity) were used, which made it possible to restore the stages of organizing workers’ catering in Stalingrad at the first stage of industrial modernization, as well as to identify and analyze reasons for the manifestation of crisis phenomena in the public catering system. Analysis and results. As early as the initial stage of industrialization, the food problem sharply worsened. However, largely generated by the problems of industrialization, it was the food crisis that contributed to the development of the public catering system. In the conditions of normalized distribution of food products, the tasks of implementing planned installations for the administration of catering enterprises were simplified as much as possible. Having received standardized food products, workers could get the rest of the products only in canteens, which from the second half of the 1920s were part of the cooperative system, consolidated into a single Central Workers’ Cooperative (CWC), which had both its advantages (centralized supply) and disadvantages (lack of close communication with the consumer and, as a result, lack of feedback and direct influence of enterprise management on the process of organizing food for workers). Factory buffets, canteens, and giant kitchen factories created at an accelerated pace were put into operation with a huge number of shortcomings. Unsanitary conditions at public catering enterprises, a chronic lack of kitchen equipment, disruptions in food supplies, a monotonous menu, and, as a result, poor diet of workers have become commonplace. Prices in closed cooperative canteens were often comparable to market prices, while the quality of products did not meet the established requirements. Neither the tightening of control, nor the reorganization of the catering system (the introduction of working supply departments) led to a radical improvement in the situation with catering. Meanwhile, systemic problems with the organization of public catering also determined the degree of public confidence in the authorities. Negative statements about the Soviet government on the basis of problems with public catering have become a very common phenomenon in the working environment and a kind of litmus test for determining the level of public confidence in the government’s course.
Sustainable abstraction of karst water spring for two Roman cities in Croatia
Authors: Margeta Jure
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a reconstruction of two ancient water intake facilities at the Jadro spring in Croatia. The Jadro spring was the water source for Salona, the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia, and Emperor Diocletian’s Palace. The water supply system of Salona functioned from the first century BC to the seventh century AD, while Diocletian’s operated from the fourth to seventh centuries AD. The engineering approach of the abstraction facilities is reconstructed based on analysis of the physical characteristics of the spring and Roman engineering practices. The simple, flexible and robust water intake solutions that were applied functioned in a satisfactory way over a long period that included significant climate changes. This confirms the reliability and resilience of water abstraction from karst springs. A solution similar to the Tyrolean weir, a bottom intake system was integrated into the physical system, enabling the sustainability of the water supply. This solution is a fine example of a water intake structure at a karst spring that could be applied today to solve the problems caused by development and post-industrial climate change.
Pore changes in an illitic clay during one-dimensional compression
Authors: Zheng Yanhao , Baudet Béatrice A. , Delage Pierre , Pereira Jean-Michel , Sammonds Peter
Published: February 2022

The pore size, shape and orientation of an illite-dominant clay were mapped during one-dimensional compression, using mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), scanning electron microscopy and gas adsorption. The total porosity was found to spread over the three International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry classes of pores sizes: micropores (below 2 nm), mesopores (2–50 nm) and macropores (above 50 nm), and all three pore classes were observed during the compression. The clay structure is aggregated, with visible inter-aggregate pores (about 80% of the total porosity), and the remaining intra-aggregate pores of size approximately equal to the thickness of illite platelets (50–100 layers). During compression the largest pores first collapsed, followed by a progressive collapse, in an orderly manner, of smaller and smaller pores. MIP data suggest that the macroscopic deformation mainly translates at the pore scale into changes of inter-aggregate porosity, while intra-aggregate pores spread over the micro- to mesopore size range. Gas adsorption tests show that the volume of intra-aggregate pores decreases with loading, probably due to rearrangement of particles composing the aggregates, while the specific surface area reduces. Examination of the pores’ orientation on both vertical and horizontal planes confirms a preferential orientation of pores normal to the loading direction, with a gradual flattening of the pores.
Effect of high-carbon co-substrates on anaerobic co-digestion stability and performance
Authors: Kuroshkarim Mohammad , Rasouli Majid , Pazoki Maryam
Published: February 2022

In this study, the anaerobic co-digestion of a mixture of sawdust, Chlorella microalgae and cow manure was examined. Sawdust was added to the mixture to increase the amount of available carbon. This study has been designed to determine the impact of incorporating cellulosic material as a rich source of carbon into main substrates. Using co-digestion to create a carbon/nitrogen (C/N) gradient in the influent, a relationship between substrate composition and biogas production was investigated. In this study, 19 reactors of 500 ml capacity were filled to a level of 350 ml and operated at a mesophilic temperature of 37.5°C. Total solids (TS) in the digester feed were 3.8% and retention time in the reactors was 30 days. Design Expert 13 software and mixture design was used to design the experiments. Adding sawdust to the reactors (7–10%) improved the C/N ratio of the mixture in the reactors to an optimal value (22) and produced 25–35% more biogas. The maximum average amount of gas produced per day from a mixture of 8.3% sawdust, 33.3% algae and 58.3% cow manure was 231 ml. Adding sawdust when the TS is low in organic load prevents the reactors from acidifying, increases the stability and improves biogas output.
Introduction: Becoming Familiar with The Familiar, or, The Imaginary Novel and the Imagination
Authors: Pöhlmann Sascha
Published: February 2022

This essay is the introduction to the special issue of Orbit: A Journal of American Literature on Mark Z. Danielewski's The Familiar. As a starting point for readers, it places the the five novels in the context of a longer literary history of multimodal writing. I argue that this alternative history undermines the realist monomodal paradigm that still persists in literature and literary criticism and challenges their normativity that has, for example, mainly excluded multimodal forms such as children's literature or comics. At the same time, I identify a corresponding narrative bias in considerations of multimodal literature, as I connect The Familiar to poetic models of meaning-making. I also argue that the imagination is a central concern of Danielewski's pentalogy, connecting plot elements such as VEM to readerly engagement and empathy. Finally, the introduction includes summaries of all the contributions to this special issue as well as a link to a bibliography of Danielewski criticism.
Apex Liminality: Comprehending Lord Howe Island’s Cloud Forest and Related Island Ecosystems
Authors: Hayward Philip
Published: February 2022

Elevated isolated habitats that occur on mountain peaks and ridges are commonly referred to as sky islands. Sky islands are islands in a biogeographical sense but can also occur on islands. In these contexts, habitat islanding is effectively doubled, leading to highly distinct ecosystems. One subset of sky islands occurs in areas frequently covered by water vapour. These are commonly referred to as cloud forests but might be better characterised as elevated cloudy ecosystems in recognition of their nature as dynamic assemblages of vaporous, material and animate elements. The limited extent of these elevated areas and their reliance on cloaking vapour to maintain their habitats makes them particularly vulnerable to a range of Anthropocene pressures. Following a discussion of the limitations of analogous naming practices for such ecosystems, the article provides a general characterisation of elevated cloudy habitats and explores notions of atmospheres and of visibility with particular regard to Lord Howe Island and human perceptions of and experiences within its cloud forest zone. Moving to more comparative analyses, the article refers to various interventions that have either undermined or attempted to maintain similar island ecosystems and the prospects for these at a time of increasing global climate change. In considering such aspects, the article identifies the manner in which the elevated cloudy ecosystems of some islands are as integrated with and dependent on water vapour as they are on the islands' surrounding seas and merit recognition as a distinct phenomenon in this regard.

Testing the retranslation hypothesis: A case study of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury
Authors: Vraneković Matea
Published: February 2022

According to the Retranslation Hypothesis first translations tend to be naturalizations of the source text. Retranslations, on the other hand, are seen as a way of achieving more accomplished texts because they retain more of the source text’s foreign features. The aim of this study is to test the Retranslation Hypothesis on the example of two Croatian translations of William Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury. The first part of the study presents a brief overview of various studies that have brought into question whether the motivations for retranslations could be accounted exclusively within the scope of the Retranslation Hypothesis. In the second part of the study diverse translation shifts employed in the rendering of the modernist features of the source text in two Croatian translations are analysed. In the analysis it is assumed that translation shifts are employed in order to adjust the novel to the context of the target culture.
Assessing speech-to-speech translation quality: Case study of the ILA S2S app
Authors: Omazić Marija , Lekić Martina
Published: February 2022

Machine translation (MT) is becoming qualitatively more successful and quantitatively more productive at an unprecedented pace. It is becoming a widespread solution to the challenges of a constantly rising demand for quick and affordable translations of both text and speech, causing disruption and adjustments of the translation practice and profession, but at the same time making multilingual communication easier than ever before. This paper focuses on the speech-to-speech (S2S) translation app Instant Language Assistant (ILA), which brings together the state-of-the-art translation technology: automatic speech recognition, machine translation and text-to-speech synthesis, and allows for MT-mediated multilingual communication. The aim of the paper is to assess the quality of translations of conversational language produced by the S2S translation app ILA for en-de and en-hr language pairs. The research includes several levels of translation quality analysis: human translation quality assessment by translation experts using the Fluency/Adequacy Metrics, light-post editing, and automated MT evaluation (BLEU). Moreover, the translation output is assessed with respect to language pairs to get an insight into whether they affect the MT output quality and how. The results show a relatively high quality of translations produced by the S2S translation app ILA across all assessment models and a correlation between human and automated assessment results.

Information on the spatial distribution of aquaculture ponds, especially the inland brackish aquaculture, is crucial for effective and sustainable aquaculture management. Google Earth Engine (GEE) has been utilized to quickly map aquaculture ponds in different parts of the world, but the application is still limited in tropical regions. Selection of an optimal water index is essential to accurately map the aquaculture ponds from the Landsat 8 satellite images that are available in GEE. This study aims to evaluate the capability of three different water indices, namely Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) and Automated Water Extraction Index (AWEI), in mapping of the aquaculture ponds in Sungai Udang, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. The results show that MNDWI is the best index for aquaculture ponds extraction in Sungai Udang, with an accuracy of 81.87% and Kappa coefficient of 0.61. Meanwhile, the accuracy of NDWI and AWEI as compared to the digitized aquaculture ponds are 58.21 and 61.60%, and Kappa coefficient of 0.33 and 0.36, respectively. Then, MNDWI was applied to calculate the spatial changes of aquaculture ponds from 2014 to 2020. The result indicates that the area of aquaculture ponds has expanded by 26.16% since the past seven years.

This paper presents the multiple linear regression (MLR) models developed from electrical resistivity and seismic refraction surveys for quick prediction of subsurface soil’s shear strength parameters. A total of four parameters have been considered with electrical resistivity and seismic refraction velocity as the independent variables: and soil cohesion and internal friction angle as the dependent variables. In order to mitigate the effects of nonlinearity of resistivity and velocity, both datasets were initially log-transformed to conform with the fundamental assumptions of regression analysis. Two models were therefore built based on the strong multiple linear relationships between explanatory and response variables, with coefficient of determination (R2), 0.777, p-values, < 0.050, Durbin-Watson value, 1.787 and multicollinearity, 1.185. The obtained models’ coefficients were transferred and used for the estimation of 2D models soil cohesion and internal angle of friction for validation. Thereafter, the developed models demonstrated good performance, having subjected to accuracy assessment with results at < 5%, and < 10% for the root mean square error (RMSE) and weighted mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) respectively. Therefore, the new developed soil’s shear strength MLR models have provided continual description of soil properties in two-dimensional form, enhancing the subsurface information for site investigations as compared, to one-dimensional information from the invasive method.

Biodiesel has been globally accepted as a green substitute for diesel fuel. However, the insecurity of food raised with the application of edible sources in biodiesel production has caused much debate. The feasible alternative technique is the use of inedible and low-grade sources such as palm fatty acid distillate (PFAD). In this work, the production of biodiesel (FAME) from PFAD using solid acid catalysts (SACs) derived from palm empty fruit bunch (PEFB) is investigated. The SACs were synthesized through impregnation of different metal sulfate precursors, i.e. ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4.7H2O), copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4.5H2O), and magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4.7H2O) over PEFB. SEM-EDX observations found that impregnation and then calcination resulted in attachment of sulfur (S) and improved surface porosity. FT-IR analysis showed that there were distinct interactions between metal sulfates and PEFB. XRD characterization showed that the prepared catalysts have a crystalline structure. Besides, the catalytic activity of the SACs was closely associated with their acid densities measured by the titration method. Fe-PEFB catalyst showed the highest acid density (2.44 mmol/g) among the catalysts studied. To study the effect of process parameters on FFA conversion (%), optimization of methanol: PFAD molar ratio, catalyst dosage, reaction temperature, and reaction time was conducted. Maximum FFA conversion of 89.1% was obtained over Fe-PEFB while Cu-PEFB and Mg-PEFB achieved an FFA conversion of 63 and 56.5%, respectively, under the optimum reaction conditions. Thus, the present study offers a sustainable and environmentally benign method for biodiesel production.

Published: February 2022

In this paper, we initiate the notion of intuitionistic anti fuzzy normed normal subrings and generalize various related properties. We extend the notion of intuitionistic fuzzy normed subrings to intuitionistic anti fuzzy normed normal subrings. Further, we study the algebraic nature of direct product of intuitionistic anti fuzzy normed normal subrings and establish and examine some imperative properties of such products. We also provide some essential operations specially subset, complement and intersection relating to direct product of intuitionistic anti fuzzy normed normal subrings. Then, we generalize the relation between the intuitionistic characteristic function and direct product of intuitionistic anti fuzzy normed normal subrings.
Una aproximación a ‘según’ como estrategia evidencial en El Habla de Monterrey
Authors: Uribe Martínez Liz Maleni
Published: February 2022

Se parte de la evidencialidad como categoría gramatical que refiere a la fuente de información en la que un hablante se basa para emitir un enunciado (Aikhenvald, 2003). En el caso del español se habla de estrategias evidenciales (Aikhenvald, 2004). En este trabajo se presenta una primera aproximación al uso de según como estrategia evidencial del español en una muestra de 18 conversaciones semi-dirigidas pertenecientes al corpus El Habla de Monterrey-PRESEEA[1]. Se presenta el análisis de 23 apariciones de según, atendiendo sus funciones pragmáticas: el tipo de evidencialidad que expresa y el grado de compromiso del hablante. Los resultados preliminares sugieren que según como preposición puede expresar evidencia directa e indirecta; además, el hablante puede llegar a reducir el compromiso de lo que dice al combinar dicha preposición con pronombres personales o con el demostrativo esto. Se propone que son estas dos combinaciones las que permiten asociar la estrategia evidencial con la atenuación (Albelda, Briz, Cestero, Kotwica, & Villalba, 2014; Briz & Albelda, 2013; Cestero, Albelda, & Briz, 2014).
