The environmental concern related to excessive ammonium in water bodies necessitates efficient and cost-effective removal techniques. This study investigated the modification of natural zeolite collected from the Tanggamus district of Lampung Province, Indonesia, with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to enhance its performance for ammonium adsorption from aqueous solution. The modified and natural zeolites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results indicated that the modification did not cause significant structural changes but increased the mesoporosity of the zeolites, which was beneficial for ammonium adsorption. The adsorption studies revealed that the EDTA modified zeolites consistently outperformed the natural zeolite and that the adsorption process was exothermic in nature. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models fit the adsorption data well, indicating that the adsorption process occurs on both homogenous and heterogeneous surfaces. Thermodynamic studies confirmed that the adsorption process was exothermic and that the EDTA modification increased the spontaneity of the ammonium adsorption process. Overall, this study highlights the potential of EDTA-modified zeolites as an effective material for ammonium removal from aqueous solutions.

In this study, 3D porous multicomponent bioceramic scaffolds were fabricated. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite (CHA) synthesized from Asian moon scallop shell (Amusium pleuronectes) served as the bioceramics, whereas alginate and chitosan served as the polymeric components. The study was focused on determining whether the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in the scaffold exerted an impact. When PVA was not included, the morphological examination revealed that the samples exhibited porous structures characterized by effective pore interconnectivity and a substantial pore size. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopic analyses indicated that the inclusion of PVA led to a decrease in the crystallinity, pore size, and porosity of the scaffolds. Those containing PVA exhibited porosity levels in the range of 56%–60%, and pore sizes ranged from 42 to 90 µm. These properties may provide advantages for the scaffold with respect to the ability for cell migration and cell attachment, thus enhancing new bone formation. Moreover, the compositions of HA and chemically modified HA (CHA) within the scaffold influenced the crystallinity and uniformity of the scaffold morphology. This finding suggests the potential for crafting a customized porous bioceramic scaffold based on specific compositions.

Published: April 2024

Fe(III)-IIPs material was prepared using a cooling-heating method with different leaching variations. The synthesis process used several chemical components, including EGDMA, MAA, and BPO as the crosslinker, functional monomer, and initiator. This study focused on the template formation process of IIPs with leaching variations, using parameters such as molarity concentration, solution mixture, and temperature to influence the amount of template formed in the polymer body. The spectra of XRD showed a widening value of FWHM as higher molarity was applied during the leaching process, with the widest one at 0.163 rad for IIPs 3 M. Fe(III) peak is located at 680-610 cm−1 or 1386-1350 cm−1 within the unleached sample, according to FTIR spectra. It also can be traced at minimum intensity in leached samples. SEM data processing showed that higher concentrations were essential in releasing Fe(III) ions from the polymer body. Meanwhile, heat treatment did not strongly impact the template formation sites of IIPs. Synthesized Fe(III)-IIPs materials had adsorption capacity, optimum time, and efficiency of 9.35 mg.g−1, 40 minutes, and 93.48%, respectively. Based on the results, Fe(III)-IIPs materials had great potential as adsorbents for removing metal pollutants from water.

Polymorphous nanotitania samples were prepared from titanium butoxide (TTB) as a precursor using sol-gel processing in ethanol as a solvent, without and with monoethanolamine (MEA). The experiments used 5.25 mL TTB and MEA with varied volumes of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mL. The sample without MEA was specified as sample A, and the samples produced using MEA were specified as samples B, C, D, and E, respectively. All samples were calcined at 500 °C for 4 h and then collected data by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method used to analyze Surface Area Analyzer (SAA), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Raman Spectroscopy, and UV-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). The results of XRD characterization indicate that samples A and B form anatase phase, while samples C and D are composed of anatase, brookite, and rutile phases, and sample E is consisted of anatase and brookite phases with weight percentages of (94.53 ± 1.72) % and (5.47 ± 0.36) %, respectively. The presence of the three phases of titania is also confirmed by Raman spectroscopy analysis, which showed anatase peaks at 146, 197, 398, and 513 cm-1, brookite peaks at 245 and 402 cm-1, and rutile peaks at 319, 436, and 612 cm-1. According to XRD, the samples have the particle size in the range of 14-19 nm. A representative sample (sample C) was also characterized using TEM, revealing a particle size of 16.0 ± 0.3 nm. This representative sample revealed the largest surface area of 172.2 m2/g, as seen by BET, and the lowest energy gap of 3.03 eV.

Published: April 2024

Quercetin is a highly prevalent flavonoid commonly found in a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. This compound has various biological actions, indicating great potential in preventing diseases and promoting health but the disadvantages include low solubility and instability. The disadvantages can be overcome by using a polymer composite in the form of microspheres in the formulation. Therefore, this study aimed to review various uses of polymers in delivering quercetin compounds. The results showed that various polymers in microspheres have been formulated with quercetin to minimize the weaknesses. The delivery systems developed and reported from several related studies include microencapsulation, microcapsules, microparticles, microspheres, solid lipid microparticles (SLM), and nanoparticles. Polymers including Gelatine, Maltodextrin and Inulin, Carnauba wax, Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), Gyceryl behenate, Pectin, Nano-hydroxyapatite, Polycaprolactone, Starch, Chitosan, Eudragit S 100, Sodium Alginate, Ethyl cellulose, and Alumina efficiently improved the properties of quercetin, enabling the utilization as a controlled drug delivery agent. Therefore, developing a quercetin delivery system using composite polymers presents both an opportunity and a challenge for future applications.

The increasing bacterial resistances to antibiotics are serious threat to world health. In Indonesia, there are resistant bacteria such as Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In order to overcome the problem, the compounds contained in the Hibiscus sabdariffa L. are potential to be developed as new antibacterial against MRSA. To confirm the antibacterial activity, the extract of roselle calyx was tested against MRSA. The twelve compounds contained in the extract was docked into binding site of PBP2a using Autodock 4.2.6. The results showed MIC 2.5% of roselle extract. Two flavonoid compounds comply the Lipinski’s rules and the docking results showed all compounds had higher binding affinity than reference ligand ceftobiprole. The quantitative structure-physicochemical property relationship (QSPR) found that steric property (CMR) and energy (Etotal) of ligand contributed to the binding affinity against PBP2a. It concluded kaempferol-rutinoside was the most potential compound from H. sabdariffa that could be selected as lead compound to be develop as antibacterial agents.

Authors: Félix Rejane Alves , Palhares José Mauro
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo objetiva associar a ciência da Geografia, com ênfase em sua parte física à Segurança Pública, seja ela Municipal, Estadual ou Federal, pois não existe diferença quando se trata do assunto “Desastres Naturais”. Preza pela junção entre a ciência e a eficiência da Segurança Pública, justificando que esses profissionais necessitam estar preparados, psicologicamente e com todos os equipamentos de proteção individual e de resgate dentro de seus veículos oficiais, estando assim de fato preparados para um possível resgate, pois não é possível prever quando será necessário resgatar algum indivíduo de uma situação calamitosa. Reforça-se a ideia de que a Segurança Pública precisa de treinamento específico como o de Resgate de Áreas de Difícil Acesso, onde os mesmos serão orientados e treinados de forma, a saber, como agir em casos de desastres naturais, sendo os mais recorrentes em território brasileiro as enchentes, as enxurradas, os alagamentos, os desmoronamentos, dentre outros desastres. O objetivo é fazer com que pessoas vulneráveis sejam resgatadas por profissionais capacitados, qualificados e que busquem salvar o máximo de pessoas que estejam em perigo. Ressalta-se que o presente artigo delimitou as ocorrências dos desastres supracitados no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul para assim arrolar com maior precisão as características geográficas e as climáticas que possibilitaram tais eventualidades.

Published: April 2024

Ao proceder à leitura da apropriação de terras no Território Portal da Amazônia e de Novo Mundo-MT, percebe-se que a territorialização de latifúndios por meio da grilagem de terras ocupa expressivas quantidades de áreas públicas. O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o processo e o avanço do capital sobre o território do município em questão e da sua estrutura fundiária. Foram apresentados conceitos como a territorialização do capital, do campesinato no campo e de classes sociais divergentes. A estrutura agrária centrada em latifúndios, combinada ao modelo agroexportador, privilegia a produção da monocultora de Commodities. A agricultura camponesa e familiar ocupa pequenos espaços na busca de renda e desenvolvimento local, especialmente quando se trata do Portal da Amazônia, e os conflitos agrários são evidentes e constantes. A concentração da terra produz desigualdades sociais e que as políticas de Reforma Agrária ainda são ineficientes, pela ausência do Estado no território.

Os governos estaduais da federação brasileira podem implementar políticas públicas, propor iniciativas administrativas, legais e orçamentárias, que fomentem e apoiem os governos municipais na elaboração e execução dos processos de ordenamento territorial e desenvolvimento urbano. Nessa perspectiva, o objetivo deste estudo é averiguar as políticas de apoio do governo do estado de Mato Grosso às políticas de desenvolvimento urbano dos municípios, suas características e dinâmicas manifestadas nos Planos Plurianuais (PPAs), no período compreendido entre 2004 e 2023. Essa pesquisa qualitativa foi efetuada por meio das técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Verificou-se que houve avanço na política urbana estadual, por meio de programas e ações de apoio ao planejamento e gestão urbana dos municípios mato-grossenses, descritas nos PPAs por um período de doze anos (2008-2019). O referido apoio, com algum lapso temporal, esteve em sintonia com programas e ações do governo federal, que por um período de catorze anos (2003-2016) manteve ativa a política urbana nesta esfera. A partir de 2016 observa-se o recuo da política urbana no âmbito federal e, a partir de 2019 o mesmo recuo no estado de Mato Grosso. Concluiu-se que as ações de apoio a política urbana em Mato Grosso, delineadas nos PPAs, acompanharam e reproduziram a política federal.
MOBILIDADE URBANA E PESSOAS COM DEFICIÊNCIA: UM ESTUDO A PARTIR DOS CASOS DE DISTROFIA MUSCULAR, EM JUARA - MT

Published: April 2024

Tendo em vista a importância de um adequado sistema de mobilidade urbana para garantir um trânsito mais seguro, especialmente às Pessoas com Deficiência (PcD), esta pesquisa objetivou compreender a organização espacial e o papel da dinâmica do trânsito urbano a partir do contexto da mobilidade urbana das pessoas com deficiência, especificamente daquelas com distrofia muscular, na cidade de Juara - MT. A pesquisa teve uma abordagem qualitativa, pautando-se por uma perspectiva de estudo de caso. A metodologia utilizada compreendeu-se pela pesquisa bibliográfica e documental; observações in loco sobre o trânsito e as condições existentes para a mobilidade urbana dos sujeitos PcD; bem como levantamento bibliográfico em torno das distrofias musculares de Duchenne e de Becker. Os resultados obtidos mostram um rápido processo de ocupação da região, a partir do qual foi desmembrado o atual território municipal e criada a cidade de Juara. Além disso, a precariedade de infraestrutura disponível na cidade para a mobilidade urbana não permite um trânsito seguro, sendo exponencial o número de acidentes a cada ano. No tocante à acessibilidade, o fato de a infraestrutura de mobilidade urbana existente no centro da cidade não cumprir com a legislação e as normas técnicas vigentes, em conjunto com a sua ausência nos bairros da periferia da cidade, geram diversas barreiras para o trânsito, especialmente para os PcD e/ou pessoas com mobilidade reduzida. O levantamento realizado confirmou as dificuldades no trânsito e a invisibilidade que percebem em relação ao Poder Público e a muitos dos próprios moradores do espaço urbano. Isso indica a eminente necessidade de novos investimentos em infraestrutura viária e engenharia de trânsito, bem como ações de reeducação no trânsito que envolva, tanto a população, quanto as autoridades competentes.

Published: April 2024

This research examines accounting knowledge, job market considerations, and accounting students' career interest in public accounting, with financial rewards as the moderating variable. The primary data was collected using questionnaires spread through Google Forms. The data is measured by using the Likert Scale. The research population consists of Bachelor of Accounting students from throughout Indonesia. Using purposive sampling, this research obtained 91 respondents as the sample. The regression method is used as the data analysis method, and SPSS 23 software is used. The research results indicate that accounting knowledge and job market considerations significantly positively influence accounting students' career interests as public accountants. Financial rewards weaken accounting knowledge on accounting students' career interest in public accounting. Meanwhile, financial rewards strengthen the positive and significant effect of job market considerations on accounting students' career interest in the public accounting field. This research suggests that universities with a prominent role in preparing high-quality accounting graduates are more responsive to changes in the world of work, so it is necessary to improve the quality of the curriculum. In addition, this research is also expected to be a reference for public accounting firms, as financial reward no longer becomes the first consideration for accounting students when choosing a career. Accounting firms must consider other factors when they recruit new employees, such as work-life balance and flexible hours.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to identify the main factors in the selection of majors in college. There were 1283 participants consisting of first, second, and third year students from various universities in Indonesia, both public and private. The research approach was non-experimental quantitative using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that almost 30% of students felt that they chose the wrong major. Those who felt they chose the wrong major had lower knowledge domain (μ = 42.67; t = 20.376, p < 0.05) and help-seeking behavior (μ = 47.89; t = 5.336, p < 0.05) compared to those who felt they chose the right major. Based on the type of university, 274 students from public universities (72.29%) and 105 students from private universities (27.71%). The conclusion was that students who felt they had the wrong major did not have adequate Self Knowledge and Occupational Knowledge. Their need to seek help has not been accompanied by sufficient knowledge about themselves and their intended careers, hence students need to be proactive in gaining knowledge from credible sources. This study mapped the factors that influenced major selection and thus guidance on major selection since high school should be considered.

Published: April 2024

This study aims to describe the career well-being of school counselors in Indonesia. This study was conducted quantitatively using a quantitative descriptive analysis. The population of this study was all school counselors in Indonesia. The selection of population was made by the researchers because there is no standard Career well-being Scale in the Indonesian context. The sample consisted of 1,000 school counselors throughout Indonesia, selected using simple random sampling technique. The data was collected using the Career Well-Being Scale based on Coetzee’s theory. The study began with the development of the Career Well-Being Scale, followed by the distribution of the scale through Google Form, data collection, and data analysis. Data analysis was performed using percentage statistical formula. The results showed that the difference in career well-being of school counselors had a Sig value of 0.00.

This research aims to show that narrative counseling can increase adolescents' self-esteem. The research approach used is mixed-method with an embedded design. The instrument is based on the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) which measures four aspects of self-esteem. The research subjects in this study were 3 high school adolescents in class XI. The results of the research showed that there was a change in self-esteem in the three teenagers, which was indicated by receiving sufficient recognition and feeling worthy, which means that narrative counseling can increase the self-esteem of adolescents who experience self-harm. However, of the three adolescents, one adolescent still committed self-harm with infrequent frequency even though his self-esteem was already in the medium category. This suggests that there are other variables that influence someone to do self-harm, such as self-concept. Apart from that, the factors influencing a person's self-esteem are different. Further analysis is needed regarding these factors.

The article discusses the peculiarities of the use of combined technologies in monitoring on the example of the Simferopol reservoir, namely low-frequency electromagnetic field (VLF) technology and numerical modeling of dangerous structural violations. It is possible to detect decompression of the soil base of the structure. When the field finds an object in the ground that conducts electricity, it detects the hydraulic structure’s own magnetic field, namely decompaction and subsidence. On the basis of the studies carried out, numerical simulation of the dam of the Simferopol reservoir was carried out with various dangerous structural defects and defects acquired over a long period of operation. It should be noted that during the period of operation at the complex of hydraulic structures of the Simferopol reservoir, no major repairs and reconstruction were carried out. The design features of the tooth in the body of the dam were numerically calculated. Stress and strain diagrams were obtained. Based on the calculations, in order to reduce water losses for filtration in the left side of the dam, the installation of a cementation curtain is envisaged. It has been established that the height of the cementation curtain is different depending on the depth of occurrence of water-resistant rocks. Based on the materials of the reconnaissance survey and calculations, field work and laboratory tests, it is possible to conclude that the structure is stable, while maintaining the current intensity of operation
On the design of the structure of a two-stage differential on an elastic base

Published: April 2024

The article discusses a new type of a two-stage differential of the author’s design and the calculation of its design on an elastic base. The drop is designed to regulate the eroded sections of small rivers in the conditions of foothill zones. The proposed frame structure of the construction on an artificial gabion base allows solving the issues of stability, interaction of the structure with the flow and safe filtration under the structure. The bearing base of the drop is a system of cross reinforced concrete beams on an elastic base which allows the use of a method for calculating tape monolithic foundations. At the same time, an effective approach to the study of the stress-strain state of its load-bearing elements is proposed. Based on the results of the conducted studies, the tasks and calculation methodology for calculating its main parameters that ensure the reliability and efficiency of the entire structure have been determined for this two-stage differential.
Assessment of the initial development of forest park zones created in urbanized areas

Published: April 2024

The article is devoted to the development of methods for assessing the state of initial development of forest park zones created in suburban areas. The purpose of the research is to consider the possibility of introducing a multiplicative indicator that equally takes into account these indicators, to study its extreme characteristics for homogeneous and heterogeneous land plots. The relationship between factor C from the universal equation of soil losses and the weight of dry biomass of deciduous trees which, in turn, are regression dependent on NDVI (Normalized difference vegetation index), a numerical indicator of the quality and quantity of woody vegetation on the site, is considered. Two criteria are proposed to assess the initial state of development of the urban forest park zone. It is shown that the first criterion has a minimum at a certain NDVI value. The second criterion is presented in the form of a functional containing the function of the relationship between NDVI and factor C. It is determined that the extreme of this functional has the form of a function of the inverse relationship between NDVI and factor C. The real existence of such an inverse relationship between NDVI and C opens up new opportunities for using this function in metrology.

Artistic and aesthetic features of the image of the province in modern Ukrainian literature
Authors: Romanenko Olena
Published: April 2024

This study deals with the features of the description of the Province topos in modern Ukrainian prose and the problems of the development of the ideas of geopoetics in Ukrainian literary studies. The subject of the study is the poetic and stylistic parameters of the Province topos in modern Ukrainian prose. Elzhbieta Rybitska’s ideas of structuralism and geopoetics became the intellectual support of this research. The goal is a systematic analysis of the poetic and stylistic parameters of the topos of the Province in the novels “The Servant from Dobromil”, “Enchanted Musicians”, “The Tycoon”, by Halyna Pahutiak, “Voroshilovgrad” by Serhiy Zhadan, and “District D” by Artem Chekh. A combination of structural-typological analysis and conceptual analysis methods in the context of the ideas of geopoetics was chosen for this research. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the fact that it describes three models of understanding the topos of the Province in modern Ukrainian literature, proposes and argues for an aesthetic paradigm of modeling the world and man in the prose works of modern Ukrainian writers in the context of the ideas of structuralism and geopoetics.

The study’s results present three models of the topos of the Province. Within the first model, the Province is described as a geographical space in which the opposition of the Center / Province is revealed. The second model is based on myth as a sacred space in which the aggressive Center and the Arcadian and harmonious Province are opposed. The third model is based on post-colonial ideas of the contradiction between colonized cultures and regions, describing the dialogue with the colonial past and images of Own / Strangers. Such theoretical ideas of this article made it possible to analyze the novels by Halyna Pahutiak, “The Servant from Dobromil”, “Enchanted Musicians”, “The Tycoon”, Serhiy Zhadan’s “Voroshilovgrad”, Artem Chekh’s “District D” and describe the features of depicting the topos of the Province in the works of modern Ukrainian writers. Thus, in the novels by Halyna Pahutiak, the topos of the Province are reproduced as a mystical space with symbolic ambivalent images. In this place, the character gets an opportunity for self-discovery and rethinking ethical views. Instead, Serhiy Zhadan’s novel presents the topos of the Province as a space deformed by the Soviet past, a kind of semantic wasteland, abandoned and hostile to the character. In the novel by Artem Chekh, the model of the topos of the Province is embodied as an existential trap from which the character seeks to escape and simultaneously feels both his own and a stranger.

The study results prove the productivity of geopoetics for modern Ukrainian literary studies, the perspective of the study of the topos of the Province in particular, and the poetic features of geographical images in artistic works in general.
