Published: February 2025

In the Andean hillsides of Ecuador, indigenous populations use land mainly for grazing sheep and cattle. Animal response depends exclusively on the quality of forage and the soil’s physical and chemical conditions. The objective of this research was to evaluate two scenarios for intensifying pastures based on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and white clover (Trifolium repens), used at rest periods of 45- and 60 days in sites between 3,000-3,400 m a.s.l. used for grazing sheep and cows. These scenarios were compared with a natural grassland based on a plant community composed of Stipa ichu, Holcus lanatus, Rumex acetocella, and Paspalum sp., used in a traditional system with rest periods of 60-75 days in sites between 3,500-3,700 m a.s.l. in the Chimborazo River micro-watershed. Soil sampling was conducted at both sites to determine the soil fertility profile. Regarding the forage component, chemical composition, animal carrying capacity, milk production, and estimated enteric CH4 emissions were determined. In sheep serum, Ca, P, and Mg profiles, and the activity of AST, ALT, and FA enzymes were analyzed. The data were analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey 5% as a means comparison test. The results showed a better physicochemical property of the soil at the lower altitude. The intensification of pasture management and grazing through the utilization of rest periods of 45 days or less may represent a productive and low-emission option.

Authors: Raihandhany Reza , Purnomo Purnomo
Published: February 2025

The Sundanese people of West Java, Indonesia, are well known for consuming raw plants, which are part of their food culture and are called lalapan. West Java consists of several traditional villages, one of which is Banceuy Traditional Village, located in Subang Regency. Usually, discourse about food is inseparable from culture since every place has unique dishes and cultures. This study aims to conduct a quantitative analysis of the inventory of food plant data using quantitative ethnobotanical indices. The research method used semi-structured interviews with 32 informants that consisted of two key informants and field-guided observation accompanied by one of the key informants around the village to identify and collect the food plant specimens. A quantitative data analysis was carried out using ethnobotany indices, namely, the Index of Cultural Significance (ICS), Use Values Index (UV), and Relative Frequency Citation (RFC). Banceuy indigenous people utilized 160 local food plant species belonging to 55 families. Fabaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Solanaceae, and Zingiberaceae were the dominant food plant families. These plant species were utilized as sources of carbohydrates, fruits, vegetables, spices, seeds, and beverages. The most applied food consumption manner by Banceuy indigenous people consisted of fresh food consumed, sauté, and boiling. Arenga pinnata had the highest ICS value (116) due to its utilization as seasoning and involvement in traditional rituals. Manihot esculenta and Carica papaya had the highest value in UV (1.81 & 1.69) and RFC (0.97) as they were used for daily consumption.

Authors: Fariani Alya , Razak Abdul , Dewata Indang , Syah Nurhasan
Published: February 2025

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education, population, and technology on household waste management decisions. This study used multiple linear regression analysis with data obtained from BPS Susenas 2023 data in the West Sumatra region. The findings of this study revealed that the level of education (junior high school, high school, and university), population, and technology, did not have a significant influence on household waste management decisions. Although some variables such as technology and education level have a positive relationship direction towards waste management, the results are not statistically significant, which means they are not strong enough to influence households' decision to manage waste. These results suggest that households' decision to manage waste does not only depend on education, population, or technology use, but may also be influenced by other factors, such as environmental socialization, local policies, availability of waste management facilities, and ingrained habits.

Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes, of open reduction and internal fixation of Danis-Weber Type B Ankle Fractures in adults. Study Design: Descriptive Cross sectional Study. Setting: Surgical Department of a Medical Facility. Period: January 2023 to November 2023. Methods: In all, 152 participants were examined in this study. The OMAS score and Visual Analogue Score were used to categorize the functional results (VAS). Documentation was also done on the age distribution, gender distribution, and kind of trauma. Regarding the length of the fracture, functional outcomes were stratified, and statistical analysis was used to ascertain significance. Results: Out of 152 patients, 63.15% were male and 36.84% was female. The mean age of the patients was 47.57±8.5 years. Out of the 152 patients, 69 (45.39%) patients had an excellent functional outcome, 24 (15.78%) patients had a good outcome, 44 (28.94%) patients had fair outcome, and 15 (9.86%) patients had poor outcome. Falls from height were responsible for 42 (27.63) cases of fractures, while road traffic accidents (RTA) accounted for 110 (72.36%) of them. There were no appreciable variations in functional results when stratification based on fracture duration was applied. Conclusion: Our research results demonstrated that open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) is an efficacious method in the treatment of Danis-Weber Type B ankle fractures. Most patients treated with ORIF achieved excellent to good functional performance, indicating remarkable regained range of motion and joint stability. This surgical technique provides an opportunity to bring all the fractured bone segments to their desired anatomical positions to promote healing, thus avoiding the risks of malunion or chronic instability. In addition, the results also indicate that ORIF is aimed at restoring normal function and additionally promotes early mobilization of patients which in turn improves their post-surgical outcomes. These findings emphasize that ORIF is effective and the treatment of choice for this category of ankle fractures and it gives very good results in restoring optimal function.

the THE EFFECT OF ZIRCONIUM ADDITIVES ON PROPERTIES OF (Cu22%Zn4%Al) SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY
Authors: Hassan Zainab , Mohammed Saeed Ekbal
Published: February 2025

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are one of the most important types of smart materials. It define as the materials that can undergo large pseudo elastic deformations while having the ability to recover to their original shape once subjected to a memory stimuli such as a specific  temperature ,stress ,or strain. This study examines the effects of varying Zirconium (Zr) additive amounts on the microstructure, mechanical, and shape memory effect for  all specimens of Cu-Zn-Al SMAs. Powder metallurgy was used to create Cu–22%Zn–4%Al SMAs, both base and with the inclusion of 0.2 and 0.4 weight percent Zr. 650MPa compact pressure was used to create the alloys after the particles had been mixed for five hours. The alloys underwent a three-step sintering procedure in a vacuum tube furnace for one hour at 350 ˚C, then for one hour at 550 ˚C, and for two hours at 850 ˚C. To characterise the microstructural and phase characteristics of alloys, both with and without Zr additions, XRD diffraction analyses, optical microscopy (OM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were performed. With differential scanning calorimetry, the transition temperatures of all alloys were determined (DSC).As well as the shape memory effect test (SME) was measured.  Results confirmed that all alloys compositions were found to include the predominant (Cu5Zn8) phase, as proven by XRD and microstructural investigation. The Zr addition dramatically lowered the transition temperatures, according to the transformation temperature data. Hardness experiments reveal that  alloys' hardness and volume losses were enhanced by adding up to 0.4% weight percent of Zr reached to (64.8%) and (0.3909)mm3 respectively compared to base alloy.

Authors: Ahmed Mahmood Fawzi
Published: February 2025

Currently, sustainability of the construction and building industry taken a priority. This study investigates the feasibility of using a high volume (up to 50%) of blended waste brick powder (BP) and metakaolin (MK) as ordinary Portland cement (OPC) replacements. The binder of the control mixture was a blend of 50% OPC and 50% BP, while the other two mixes were prepared by substituting 10% and 20% of BP with MK. The characteristics of fresh concrete were assessed depending on measuring the mixture temperature, the fresh density, and the workability. The bulk density, and the mechanical properties were investigated and tested at 7 and 28 days. In the line of durability parameters, the void content and drying shrinkage up to 90 days of all mixtures were evaluated. The findings have demonstrated that the control mixture achieved high workability (slump =180 mm), structural compressive strength (34 MPa) at 28 days, low void content (<3%), and acceptable shrinkage strain. The workability of the mixes containing 10%MK:40%BP and 20%MK:30%BP has slightly decreased, while the mechanical properties were increased and the drying shrinkage were declined. However, the inclusion of This study highlighted an ecological technique toward waste management of construction materials and confirmed the possibility of including a high volume of BP as a cementitious material to synthesize more sustainable concrete.

A fiber glass -silica fume and silica fume (SF) mix (F-SF) have been employed in this study in order to enhance and relate their effects on the expansive soil. Bentonite (B) was added with natural soil in a lab at a ratio of 50% by soil dry weight to create the soil used in this study. The (SF) was added alone at (8,9,10,11,12, and 13) % and 1 % of Fiber glass (F) was added to the (clay soil - SF) mixture. For both treated and untreated soil, odometer, shear box, and swelling tests were used to examine the behavior of the soil after the addition of (SF) and (F-SF) mixture. From the outcome of the experimental tests, we noticed that (SF) reducing both comparison index (Cc), reloading index (Cr), and swelling percentage (SW)%. Also, it is influenced on shear strength parameters by decreasing cohesion (c) and increasing internal angle friction (φ). As well as adding 1 % (F) to the (clay soil - SF) mixture modify the prepared soil by reducing (Cc), (Cr), (SW) % and increasing (c, φ). Based on all of the above results, we concluded that adding (SF) and (F-SF) mix. can enhance the engineering characteristics of swelling soil.

Published: February 2025

The uncontrolled friction stir welding heat generation impacts the quality of welds. However, the intuition and experience of the engineer fail to regulate the effects of excessive heat generation on the weld quality and research has not addressed this aspect yet. This paper fills the gap by introducing an integrated CRITIC-BPNN (CRiteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation-Back Propagation Neural Network) method to investigate the selection and optimisation characteristics of the friction stir welding process for AA6082-T6 material. In this study, two major performance characteristics i.e. ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and percentage elongation (%EL), were chosen for analysis. The input parameters for the machining were the tool rotational speed, welding speed, tool pin profile and tool shoulder diameter. For the back propagation neural network model, a four-layer network with sigmoid hidden neurons and output neurons was selected. The weight estimates of the friction stir welding parameters are determined by the CRITIC method.  For further weight determination between the nodes and edges of the neural networks, the Poisson distribution model was introduced. This stochastic-based method was used to calculate the weights at the edges, between the inputs, hidden layers and outputs of the neural network.  The forward pass and backward passes are then used for updating and error minimisation. The welding speed has the highest weight with a contribution of 49.72% using the CRITIC method, implying that welding speed is the best and most influential parameter of the friction stir welding process. For the 4-1-2 neural network architecture, the values of the ultimate tensile strength and percentage elongation at the optimal thresholds are 0.6457 and 0.6019, respectively, for the first forward pass and 0.6123 and 0.6356, respectively, for the second forward pass. The predicted tensile strength is 320.64 MPa and the prediction for the percentage elongation is 18.83%. The results obtained from the proposed method could be useful for planning purposes during the friction welding process.

Authors: Hasan Aseel , Mazinani Mahdi
Published: February 2025

Keratoconus is a disease that ML has contributed much in its diagnosis and management. It is not a widely prevalent disease, with a research gap caused by the absence of standardized datasets for model training and evaluation.  This work presents a novel dataset, which strengthens the CNN model's resilience and creates standards for assessing keratoconus diagnostic techniques. The research depends on data of patients examined at Jenna Ophthalmic Center in Baghdad. The proposed system works on three stages: pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification with machine learning algorithms including NB, KNN, ADA, DT, and CNN deep learning. The pre-processing stage involves cropping images to retain the relevant maps, which were subjected to contrast enhancement to improve image quality. The pre-processed data is then fed into Machine Learning(ML) algorithms and Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) models, by which the four corneal maps were analyzed. The precision of the ML method was quantified, yielding a precision score of 0.79 for the AdaBoost algorithm and an impressive score of 0.99 for the suggested CNN model exemplifying its high accuracy and ability to surpass all machine learning approaches. Applying PCA for feature extraction before utilizing tradition ML algorithms and CNN helps in achieving high-accuracy results.

Published: February 2025

Algoritma Floyd, juga dikenal sebagai Floyd-Warshall, adalah algoritma dalam teori graf yang digunakan untuk menemukan jalur terpendek antara semua pasangan simpul dalam sebuah graf berbobot, baik yang berbobot positif maupun negatif, dengan waktu komputasi yang efisien. Algoritma ini bekerja dengan prinsip dynamic programming dan mampu mengatasi graf yang memiliki bobot negatif selama tidak ada siklus negatif. Dalam implementasinya, algoritma Floyd secara iteratif memperbarui jarak terpendek antar simpul melalui pembandingan jalur yang lebih langsung dengan jalur yang melewati simpul lainnya. Keunggulan dari algoritma ini terletak pada kesederhanaannya dan kemampuannya untuk menghitung jarak terpendek antara semua pasangan simpul dalam satu proses dengan kompleksitas waktu O(n³), di mana n adalah jumlah simpul dalam graf. Meskipun memiliki kompleksitas yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan algoritma lain seperti Dijkstra untuk pencarian jalur terpendek antara satu pasang simpul, algoritma Floyd lebih efektif untuk aplikasi yang memerlukan informasi jarak terpendek antara semua pasangan simpul sekaligus, seperti dalam analisis jaringan atau aplikasi rute transportasi.

GRDP per capita is often used as an indicator to measure the level of prosperity and level of development of a region. Economic inequality between provinces in Indonesia is high. Population density and HDI factors have a significant effect in modeling provincial GDP per capita, while the number of workers is not significant. Reducing population density on the island of Java, especially DKI Jakarta, as well as efforts to increase human development outside Java is predicted to be able to reduce economic inequality between regions. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of population density, number of workers, and HDI on GDP per capita in Central Java Province. The analytical method used is a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis via SPSS software. The results of the analysis found that only HDI was significant for GDP per capita in Central Java Province. The variables population density and number of workers have a positive influence but are not significant because the significance value is > 0.05. This can be interpreted as if the people of a district/city tend to have a good quality of life (indicated by a high HDI value) then the GDP per capita in that district/city will also be relatively high. However, when viewed simultaneously or together these three variables have an influence on the formation of GRDP per capita in Central Java Province in 2022.
