Authors: Girishbhai Patel Pratik , Mehta Lav R. , Awasthi Anuj , Talreja Manoj , Prajapati Chetan
Published: November 2024

Neurofibromas are benign proliferations that are made up of all nerve elements, and arise as fleshy and nontender, sessile or pedunculated masses on the skin. Pigmented (or melanocytic) neurofibroma constitutes only 1% of cases and is considered a rare variant of neurofibroma containing melanin-producing cells. Our patient has solitary pigmented neurofibroma over scalp region which is very rare and only few cases were reported. Here we present a case of 25 year old female patient who had brown colored swelling since birth over left temporo-parietal region which gradually increased in size with age. Patient had no any other swelling or pigmentation over any other regions of body. Patient underwent excision for the same with skin grafting. Her recovery was uneventful.
Cervical cystic lymphangioma in an adult: a rare entity
Authors: Patel Jayesh , Pathak Haryax , Baldaniya Parth , Ladani Parth
Published: November 2024

Lymphangiomas are benign malformations of the lymphatic system, commonly arising from sequestered lymphatic vessels. While typically found in infancy or childhood, their occurrence in adults is rare. This case details a 44-year-old female with a progressively enlarging, painless neck mass. Imaging revealed a cystic lesion near major neck vessels. Fine-needle aspiration cytology initially suggested lymphocele, while ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography provided differential diagnoses, including lymphangioma. Surgical excision of the mass and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous lymphangioma. Although benign, lymphangiomas can cause complications through invasion of surrounding structures, leading to mass effects or secondary infections. Definitive management is surgical excision, but thorough imaging and differential diagnosis are critical to ruling out other potential conditions, especially given the rarity of lymphangiomas in adulthood.
Optimizing surgical outcomes in recurrent plunging ranula: a case report
Authors: Latheef Nashwa A. , Sukumarapillai Vishnu S. , Ayallil Muhamed S.
Published: November 2024

A plunging ranula is the extravasation of saliva from the sublingual gland due to trauma or ductal obstruction. The saliva tracks through fascial planes into the submandibular space. While typically originating from the sublingual gland, it rarely involves the submandibular gland. Two types are recognized: simple oral ranula and plunging ranula. Various treatment approaches exist, particularly for preventing recurrence in the plunging type. This case report presents the clinical and radiological findings along with our surgical management of a recurrent plunging ranula using a combined intraoral and extraoral approach with dual salivary gland excision utilising intraoperative ultrasonography to ensure complete excision and prevent recurrence. We present the case of a 16-year-old female with recurrent plunging ranula following incomplete excision of a sublingual ranula in the past. Initially asymptomatic after the first surgery, the patient later developed swelling in the mouth floor and neck. The recurrence was managed using a combined intraoral and extraoral approach for complete excision of the sublingual and submandibular glands, along with the cervical extension of the ranula, guided by intraoperative ultrasonography. Postoperatively, the patient showed no signs of recurrence during follow-up, with complete resolution of symptoms. The combined approach ensured thorough removal of mucus-secreting glands and cystic components, preventing recurrence. The optimal treatment for a plunging ranula involves excision of the lesion and the involved gland. Intraoperative ultrasonography aids in ensuring complete excision of all cystic components, reducing recurrence risk.

Authors: Ipsita Bhakta , Abhinandan  , Banerjee Abhishek , Abhijit Dutta , Thoudam Bebika Devi , Chatterjee Ananjan , Wati Sisca M
Published: November 2024

Background: Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme and a potential marker for the early detection of oral malignancies. Numerous studies have been conducted to explore its role as a serum biomarker. Aims and Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic potential of serum ALP in identifying Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMD) and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods: Samples were collected from patients visiting the outpatient department of Awadh Dental College & Hospital after obtaining informed consent. Serum ALP levels were measured and statistical analysis was performed. A literature search was conducted using databases PubMed, Google Scholar, EBSCO, and Wiley Online. Keywords used included “serum ALP,” “oral potentially malignant disorders,” “oral squamous cell carcinoma,” and “serum biomarkers.” A review of literature of relevant studies concerning the regulation and role of ALP in individuals with these disorders and conditions is also presented. Results: The mean Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels in the three study groups were 72.7 mg/dl for the control group, 119.7 mg/dl for the OPMD group, and 175.6 mg/dl for the OSCC group, with corresponding Standard Deviations (SD) of 16.4, 34.1, and 53.8, respectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that serum ALP holds promise as a reliable serum biomarker for detecting oral cancer. Several studies over the past decade have also supported this finding.
Nine Billion Branches: A Digital Poem by Jason Nelson—the Home of Objects
Authors: Ostalska Katarzyna
Published: November 2024

In his digital poem Nine Billion Branches, Jason Nelson explores various modes of belonging, which could be realized multifacetedly on corporeal, social, political, aesthetic and ecological levels. These locations range from the domestic (i.e. the bedroom, garage or living room) to the more abstract, such as the human body and language. The intricate network of relations between digital objects (rendered in the poem via a map of hypertextual links and limited interactivity) is expressed by means of kaleidoscopic, co-ordinate and not causal-effect connections. The article studies the notion of digital objects in Nelson’s poem, showing how the online milieu affects the reading and interpretation processes. In this context, digital hermeneutics comes into focus, especially as regards visualizations. When discussing the selected poetic titles (their total number is 40), the article explores Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology, linking it to digitality. The article aims to analyze how following the digital paths in Nine Billion Branches, belonging to the world, to language, one’s body and locations can be perceived as a shifting web of interactions between the digital objects and readers/players, in the everchanging text that has no beginning or end.
Breaking the Promise of Perfection: Imperfect Utopias in Marge Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time
Authors: Poll Elise
Published: November 2024

In an era still plagued by popularized skepticism toward utopian thought, Marge Piercy’s 1976 novel Woman on the Edge of Time remains a compelling exploration of potential futures. This essay juxtaposes anti-utopian critiques of perfection, violence, and instrumental rationalism with Piercy’s portrayal of both utopian and dystopian worlds. By examining these critiques alongside the novel, this essay argues for a reinterpretation of utopia beyond the assumptions of promised perfection. Rather, this essay embraces the flawed nature of the human condition and claims imperfection as a central feature of utopia itself.
The Regional Impersonal as a Mode of Dwelling: Structures of Embodiment in David Jones’s The Anathémata and Basil Bunting’s Briggflatts
Authors: Kotesovska Lucie
Published: November 2024

The discussion of dwelling in this article focuses on T. S. Eliot’s controversial axiom of poetic impersonality as articulated in The Sacred Wood (1920) and practiced in The Waste Land (1922), and on how this axiom is rearticulated by his two younger contemporaries David Jones and Basil Bunting. I argue that in The Anathémata (1952) and Briggflatts (1966), their respective masterpieces, they reintegrate the ego absconditus through their distinct geo-aesthetical self-positioning which gives rise to “the regional impersonal” mode of poetic dwelling. This article explores the complex dialectics between the (neo)modernist claim of impersonality and the affective regional identification of the self-projecting consciousness in the two poems. While sharing Eliot’s regard for the poetic artifact, Jones and Bunting rehabilitate the notion of the poet’s cultural affiliation and representativeness as well as a culturally stimulated consciousness. Their act of self-sublimation is balanced by the material and sensual anchor of their regional allegiance. Further, the Eliotean fissure between the mind that experiences and suffers and the mind that creates resulting in a cascading multiplicity of voices in The Waste Land, is healed in Jones’s and Bunting’s poetic nostos and active mode of dwelling. Also, by giving resonance to numerous names and voices, mostly disembodied and obliterated entities, Jones’s and Bunting’s poetics introduces unifying strategies of impersonation reflecting their definite geo-cultural positioning. Eliot’s original aporia is thus not resolved but re-inhabited.
W poszukiwaniu (nie)nowych instrumentów wsparcia zatrudniania osób głuchoniewidomych
Authors: Kasprzak Tomasz
Published: November 2024

Sytuacja zawodowa osób z jednoczesną niepełnosprawnością słuchu i wzroku jest tematem niechętnie podejmowanym w literaturze przedmiotu. Wykluczenie zawodowe dotyka osoby głuchoniewidome bez względu na wiek, status majątkowy, poziom wykształcenia czy miejsce zamieszkania. Promowanie zatrudnienia osób głuchoniewidomych na otwartym rynku pracy łączy się z polityką normalizacji, integracji oraz traktowaniem praw osób z jednoczesną niepełnosprawnością słuchu i wzroku. W artykule wskazano wprowadzenie zmian w modelu wspierania osób głuchoniewidomych na rynku pracy. Szczególną uwagę zwrócono na bariery zatrudnieniowe tych osób oraz ich mocne i słabe strony jako pracowników.
Dobra praca – zła praca. Czy usługi asystencji osobistej dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami są skazane na prekarne zatrudnienie i warunki pracy?
Authors: Giermanowska Ewa
Published: November 2024

Artykuł wpisuje się dyskusję na temat budowania ról zawodowych w sektorze opieki, ilustrując to przykładem usług asystentów osobistych dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami. Odwołuje się do interdyscyplinarnych badań i wielowymiarowego ujęcia jakości pracy, konceptualizacji pojęć „dobrej pracy” i „złej pracy” oraz socjologicznych koncepcji i badań na temat prekaryzacji pracy. Usługi asystencji osobistej stają się coraz częściej oczekiwaną i dostępną usługą dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami. Przyjęcie przez Zgromadzenie Ogólne Narodów Zjednoczonych Konwencji o prawach osób niepełnosprawnych (2006) przyspieszyło procesy wdrażania usługi w poszczególnych państwach oraz opracowanie jej standardów. Specyfika kontraktu usługowego oraz oczekiwania osoby z niepełnosprawnością i jej asystenta wykraczają często poza tradycyjne relacji usługi i relacje pracy, stając się źródłem zmiany, a niekiedy i naruszania warunków umowy. Państwa starają się regulować usługi asystencji osobistej oraz zatrudnienie i warunki pracy asystentów. Autorka na postawie analizy dokumentów oraz wyników badań na temat usług asystencji osobistej w Polsce i Norwegii, prowadzonych w latach 2020–2022, przedstawia podobieństwa i różnice dotyczące położenia zawodowego asystentów w obu krajach. Odwołuje się również do wyników innych projektów badawczych krajowych i międzynarodowych.

Authors: Shalaginov Aleksandr E. , Nevedrova Nina N. , Shaparenko Ilya O. , Marinenko Arkadii V.
Published: November 2024

Relevance. In the last decade, the intensity of development of the Gorlovka coal deposit in Novosibirsk region has significantly increased, which leads to the formation of seismic activation of the subsoil of the Gorlovka depression in response to technogenic impact. Since 2019, earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 4 have been recorded in the field area, felt in Novosibirsk and its suburbs. Currently, damage from natural disasters has been rapidly growing. This happens due to many reasons, such as urbanization, population growth, man-made changes in the geological environment, construction of high-risk facilities that contribute to the activation of negative processes. Therefore, the development of trustworthy criteria for the assessment, forecast and consequences of natural and man-made hazardous phenomena is an urgent task. Timely identification of dangerous geological processes will make it possible to develop and implement measures to prevent and eliminate emergencies of a natural and man-made nature. Aim. Analysis of the results of regular observations by electrical tomography along a profile crossing the fault zone at the study site in the Gorlovka trough for further development of measurement techniques and software for automated processing and interpretation of monitoring data. Methods. Field works, quantitative interpretation Results and conclusions. The authors have obtained the first results of regular observations using electrical tomography along a profile crossing the fault zone at the study site in the Gorlovka trough, interpreting field data using the modernized DiInSo software package. It was found that the identified variations in geoelectric parameters reflect the response of the geological environment both to earthquakes occurring during the observation period and to man-made impacts (explosions). Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the fluctuations magnitude is influenced by the earthquake magnitude.
Analysis of the effect of the heat stabilizer outer surface finning on soil cooling efficiency
Authors: Gilmanov Alexander Ya. , Kim Andrey S. , Shevelev Alexander P.
Published: November 2024

Relevance. The construction of buildings and structures in permafrost conditions is associated with the problem of soil thawing. To prevent this phenomenon, heat stabilizer have proven themselves good in practice. Their successful use is difficult without preliminary modeling of heat flows in the soil–heat stabilizer system. The most effective design of a passive heat stabilizer is an installation with two-phase of refrigerant. An additional increase in the efficiency of using a two-phase heat stabilizer is possible due to the finning of the outer surface of the outer pipe of it. Aim. To calculate the efficiency of using a heat stabilizer with and without finning of the outer surface. Objects. Heat stabilizer, refrigerant, heat transfer, frozen soil. Methods. The mathematical model for describing the processes of heat and mass transfer in the heat stabilizer–frozen soil system is considered in an axisymmetric formulation. There are three subtasks: the movement of liquid refrigerant in the inner tube of the heat stabilizer, the two-phase convective flow of refrigerant in the gap between the inner and outer tubes and conductive heat exchange in the system of the heat stabilizer–frozen soil. The influence of the finning of the outer surface of the heat stabilizer is considered within the framework of the modified concept of the skin factor. Results and conclusions. The authors have obtained the pressure and temperature distributions along the length of the heat stabilizer. It was found that the presence of fins on the outer surface of the external pipe of the heat stabilizer increases the heat flow from the soil by 10%. It is determined that the soil is effectively cooled within 1 m from the heat stabilizer; this distance is recommended as optimal for the placement of an adjacent heat stabilizer.

Investigaciones preliminares en dos centros administrativos wari en la puna de Chipao, provincia de Lucanas, región de Ayacucho
Authors: Sulca Huarcaya Nils Ramiro
Published: November 2024

El imperio wari, en su afán de expandirse más allá de los Andes Centrales, dejó huellas de su influencia política a su paso, como son los edificios que funcionaron como centros administrativos distribuidos por el litoral, la sierra y la amazonia del antiguo Perú. Estos centros controlaron los recursos y productos de determinados territorios, como el acopio de una gran variedad de fibras de camélidos que luego serían trasladadas a la capital o llevadas a otros puntos del territorio wari. Este trabajo presenta algunos alcances sobre el reconocimiento de superficie de Llaqtapampa 1 y 2, dos centros administrativos wari de la puna de Chipao (Ayacucho) que se habrían dedicado, principalmente, a la crianza y al suministro de fibra y carne de camélidos y, en menor proporción, a otros productos agrícolas y quizá minerales. La posición estratégica de estos sitios desde tiempos wari conectaría los corredores de las tierras bajas y altoandinas, un escenario sociocultural poco problematizado en las discusiones arqueológicas hasta el momento.
Las dos caras de una ciudad: planificación y segregación urbana en el barrio de Monserrate
Authors: Grijalva Flores Emil Faryd
Published: November 2024

Este ensayo realiza un análisis crítico de la gestión del Centro Histórico de Lima (CHL) a través de la Gerencia de Planifi cación, Gestión y Recuperación del Centro Histórico de Lima (PROLIMA) y su impacto en la segregación urbana. Se explora cómo las políticas centradas en la conservación patrimonial y el turismo han provocado una distribución desigual de la atención y los recursos entre los barrios del CHL, poniendo especial énfasis en el caso del barrio Monserrate. A pesar de su riqueza histórica y cultural, Monserrate ha sido marginado en términos de inversión y atención municipal, lo que ha resultado en un signifi cativo deterioro de su infraestructura y una elevada vulnerabilidad a desastres naturales. Este ensayo revela que las intervenciones de PROLIMA priorizan las áreas con mayor potencial turístico, dejando a Monserrate y otros barrios similares en un estado de abandono. Esta inacción se cataloga como segregación por default, una perspectiva que explica cómo la omisión deliberada o negligente de políticas inclusivas perpetúa la exclusión y marginalización de ciertos barrios. El ensayo concluye que las políticas urbanas en el Centro Histórico de Lima han favorecido la restauración de monumentos y el turismo cultural, relegando barrios como Monserrate y perpetuando la segregación socioespacial. Se cuestiona la efi cacia del Plan Maestro del Centro Histórico de Lima (PMCHL) debido a la falta de participación ciudadana, lo que ha desconectado las políticas urbanas de las realidades cotidianas. Además, se destaca la resistencia vecinal en Monserrate como respuesta a la negligencia y exclusión municipal, resaltando el carácter residencial que aún posee esta zona.
Sujetos deseantes: una aproximación teórica a las dinámicas del deseo gay
Authors: Pease Gálvez Franklin
Published: November 2024

Entender el deseo gay como un fenómeno social es un reto conceptual. Este ensayo nace como un intento de armar un aparato teórico que permita aprehender las dinámicas del deseo de los jóvenes gays limeños de clase alta para un proyecto de tesis. Se revisan distintas corrientes para aproximarnos a este fenómeno: desde los estudios de género y la teoría queer, al posmodernismo y el posestructuralismo francés. Con estos aportes, se elaborarán las herramientas conceptuales necesarias para explicar las dinámicas deseantes. Estas se encuentran constituidas por la construcción del objeto de deseo a partir del proceso de subjetivación y el desarrollo de estrategias de cortejo que responden a ese objeto deseado. También se plantea cómo las posiciones que los sujetos deseantes asumen en las dinámicas de deseo se relacionan con su posición social. En esta línea, se pretende poner énfasis en lo productivo del deseo, lo subversivo de la experiencia queer y la relación entre el sujeto y la estructura. Esta disertación no pretende ser una declaración determinante ni esencialista de la naturaleza del deseo homosexual, sino que busca proponer una manera de comprender las maneras en que los jóvenes gays llegan a desear y ser deseados en un entorno que les es muchas veces adverso.
The Effect of Applying Biochike+ Fertilizer to Big Chili (Capsicum annum L.) Production in Alluvial Soil and Financial Analysis
Authors: Indrawati Urai Suci Yulies Vitri , Kurniati Dewi , Herawatingsih Ratna
Published: November 2024

Background: Alluvial soil has poor chemical properties for the growth of large chili plants, due to high soil acidity, low organic matter and nutrient content and poor soil structure, which will directly cause the growth and production of large chilies to be suboptimal. Efforts that can be made to increase plant growth are by using a combination of biochar tankos and chicken manure biochar (Biochike+). This study aims to determine the effect of Biochike+ fertilizer on the absorption of N, P, K nutrients, growth and yield of large chili plants in alluvial soil and to determine the financial aspects of Biochike+ fertilizer production. Methods: Cultivation using polybags. The research design used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of a combination of biochar doses B0= Control, B1= 10 t.ha-1, B2= 20 t.ha-1, B3= 30 t.ha-1 and B4= 40 t.ha-1 and analysis of the costs and benefits of Biochike+fertilizer. The treatment was repeated 5 times so that there were 25 polybags. Result: The administration of Biochike+had a significant effect on all parameters. In the B4 treatment, the production of large chilies reached 300%, N uptake was 352%, P uptake was 200% and K uptake was 120% compared to the control. Financial analysis shows that large chili production using Biochike+ fertilizer is profitable, which is IDR 62,649,420.3 per harvest.

Place-Based Solutions and Air Quality in the Global South
Authors: Avis Rupert , Richards Poppy
Published: November 2024

This rapid evidence review provides an overview of place-based approaches and its importance in terms of air quality management. The review compiles evidence from a range of sources. The review acknowledges that the expansion of urban areas and populations is associated with both positive and negative consequences. Cities and metropolitan areas are considered to be engines of economic growth; however, cities are also responsible for about 70% of the world's carbon emissions. Emerging trends in air quality management recommend that effective air quality management requires not only diagnosing and modelling air pollutants, but the development of a holistic approach where the spatial nature of air pollutants, socio-economic and institutional factors are integrated.

McDonald's in Indonesia and Its Emerging Political and Security Risks [McDonald di Indonesia dan Risiko-risiko Politik dan Keamanan yang Timbul]
Authors: Achmad Fauzan Sameer , Nasution Elyzabeth Bonethe
Published: November 2024

McDonald’s was embroiled in controversy following the decision of its branch in Israel to donate the company’s food products to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), which has been accused of committing genocide on the people of Palestine. The company was boycotted by many worldwide, including the people of Indonesia which had always voiced their strong support for Palestine. The situation highlights a possible threat to McDonald’s as the independence of its individual national branches could result in clashing actions and negative public reception. Moreover, McDonald’s must be wary of the malleable governmental statuses and relationships in the countries it operates in, such as Indonesia, in which it originally opened during an extremely authoritarian regime before the country’s shift into a democratic system. However, the tides have been changing once again as recent political events have put Indonesia’s democracy under the threat of regression. With this newfound situation, McDonald’s must be able to find the proper solutions to address its emerging political and security risks.
Identifying the Urgency of Indonesia's Nickel Industry Downstream: WTO Dispute and Global Momentum [Identifikasi Kepentingan Hilirisasi Industri Nikel Indonesia: Sengketa WTO dan Momentum Global]
Authors: Pattinussa Jhon Maxwell Yosua
Published: November 2024

In recent years, Indonesia has been striving to vertically integrate its nickel industry. The primary reasons for this are technological advancements, the global momentum towards sustainability, and abundant nickel mineral resources. With 52% of the world's nickel reserves, Indonesia has undertaken the downstream policy of its nickel industry. Various policies have been created and implemented, including laws, government regulations, and ministerial regulations, to guide the downstream process. However, the European Union's lawsuit against Indonesia at the WTO has posed a significant challenge to this process. After being found guilty, Indonesia has appealed the EU's lawsuit. This research aims to identify the current state of the downstream process and the underlying interests behind Indonesia's ongoing appeal. Using qualitative research methods and focusing on explaining the downstream of the national nickel industry, this study seeks to uncover and elucidate the main agenda behind the urgency of Indonesia's nickel industry downstream amid the WTO dispute and global momentum in electronic vehicle era. Bahasa Indonesia Abstract: Dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, Indonesia telah berupaya keras untuk mengintegrasikan industri nikel mereka secara vertikal. Alasan utama dibalik hal ini adalah kemajuan teknologi yang semakin pesat, momentum global yang semakin mengarah ke berkelanjutan, dan sumber daya mineral nikel yang berlimpah. Dengan memiliki 52% dari cadangan nikel dunia, Indonesia telah menjalankan hilirisasi dalam industri nikel mereka. Berbagai kebijakan telah dibentuk dan diimplementasikan untuk menuntun proses hilirisasi, termasuk aturan hukum, aturan pemerintah, dan regulasi tingkat menteri. Namun, tuntutan hukum Uni Eropa melawan Indonesia di WTO telah memberikan ancaman signifikan terhadap proses ini. Setelah divonis bersalah, Indonesia telah mengajukan banding terhadap tuntutan hukum Uni Eropa tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi situasi terkini dari proses hilirisasi dan kepentingan tersembunyi di balik banding Indonesia yang sedang berjalan. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dan berfokus pada menjelaskan hilirisasi dari industri nikel nasional, penelitian ini mencoba mengungkapkan dan menjelaskan agenda utama di balik urgensi hilirisasi industri nikel Indonesia yang berkaitan dengan sengketa WTO dan momentum global di era kendaraan listrik.
Implementasi Hasil Konferensi Perubahan Iklim ke-26 (COP26) terhadap Pengembangan Sektor Pertambangan dan Kebijakan Lingkungan di Indonesia [The Implementation of the 26th Climate Change Conference (COP26) towards the Development of Mining Sector and Environmental Policy in Indonesia]
Authors: Then Josephine Alessia , Pratikno Roy Vincentius , Pattinussa Jhon Maxwell Yosua
Published: November 2024

The climate change crisis triggered by the greenhouse gases emission because of the usage of coal have pushed for the establishment of UNFCCC dan the COP26 meeting, where Indonesia is actively participating. This research aims to analyze the implications of the COP26 results towards the environmental policy in Indonesia, along with the opportunities and challenges faced by the mining sector in implementing those policies. Using the neoliberal theory, qualitative approach, and case study method through secondary data analysis, this research produces two main findings. First, the COP26 results are integrated into Indonesia’s environmental policy through the roadmap towards net zero emission, constructed with the International Energy Agency (IEA). This roadmap includes the early retirement plan of coal power plants, the development of renewable energy, the super grid technology, CCS/CCUS, and the conversion of electronic vehicle. Second, even though there are some significant opportunities to achieve that commitment, Indonesia also faces huge challenges, including the coal dependency, regulation that is not optimal yet, and concerns towards improper fundings.Bahasa Indonesia Abstract: Krisis perubahan iklim yang dipicu oleh emisi gas rumah kaca akibat penggunaan batu bara telah mendorong terbentuknya UNFCCC dan pertemuan COP26, di mana Indonesia turut berperan aktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi hasil COP26 terhadap kebijakan lingkungan di Indonesia, serta tantangan dan peluang yang dihadapi sektor pertambangan dalam mengimplementasikan kebijakan tersebut. Menggunakan teori neoliberalisme, pendekatan kualitatif, dan metode studi kasus melalui analisis data sekunder, penelitian ini menghasilkan dua temuan utama. Pertama, hasil COP26 diintegrasikan ke dalam kebijakan lingkungan Indonesia melalui peta jalan menuju net zero emission, yang disusun bersama International Energy Agency (IEA). Peta jalan ini mencakup rencana pensiun dini PLTU batu bara, pengembangan energi terbarukan, teknologi super grid, CCS/CCUS, dan konversi kendaraan listrik. Kedua, meskipun ada peluang signifikan untuk merealisasikan komitmen tersebut, Indonesia juga menghadapi tantangan besar, termasuk ketergantungan pada batu bara, regulasi yang belum optimal, dan kekhawatiran terkait pendanaan yang belum memadai.

Authors: Nanda Prasanta , Debta Manas Ranjan , Sharma Hiranmaya , Bagra Nyumpi , Muthu Joram
Published: November 2024

The objective of this study was to perform a proximate analysis of Tassey, an indigenous food prepared by the Nyishi tribe of Arunachal Pradesh from the bark of Arenga obtusifolia. The analysis aimed to determine the nutritional value in terms of carbohydrate, protein, fat, fiber, moisture, and ash content in Tassey.
The proximate analysis was conducted using standard biochemical methods to quantify the carbohydrate, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, moisture, and total ash content in Tassey. These methods provided a qualitative assessment of the food's nutritional components. The analysis revealed that Tassey is primarily composed of carbohydrates (52.75 g/100g of the food) followed by moisture content (46.3 g/100g). Other nutritional components such as protein, fat, and fiber were present in trace amounts. These results indicate that Tassey is a carbohydrate-rich food with significant moisture content.
