Published: November 2022

This article examined the history of the merkus pine forest in the Dutch colonial era in Tanah Gayo, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The researcher focused on finding facts about (1) forest management and exploitation; and (2) the life of the contract labor. In this study, we employed the historical method using primary sources, which consisted of documents or archives, reports, pictures, and records of the Dutch people’s journey to Tanah Gayo. In addition, the secondary sources were books, newspapers, thesis, and relevant articles. The author found three very basic problems. First, before the arrival of the Dutch colonials, most of the merkus pine forest was part of ulayat lands and customary forests. The forest itself was regulated by custom and maight not be owned by individuals. In addition, the community was traditionally given the right to use the resources in the forest. During the Dutch colonial period, the forest management system adopted many systems and rules from Java, but these rules were interpreted by the Dutch according to the purpose of exploitation so that it seemed unclear. Second, the contract labor were Javanese, but these workers were actually part of human exploitation.

Authors: Wu Jialun , Wu Daoxin , Peng Wei , Ji Yu , Tong Haixia
Published: November 2022

Polyoxometalate (POM) is an eco-friendly solid acid. It is a polyatomic anion containing transition metal (group Ⅴ or group Ⅵ) oxyanions, which are connected by common oxygen atoms. In addition to the advantages of other photocatalysts, such as non-toxic, no secondary pollution, convenient, fast and efficient, it also has the characteristics of high oxygen rich surface, and because there are a large number of metal centers in its structure, it can show rapid reversible and multi electron redox transformation. Its band gap is narrow, and the spectral response range is wide. It has excellent photocatalytic degradation performance, and has been widely used in photocatalytic degradation of wastewater containing organic pollutants. In this paper, the types of polyoxometalates photocatalysts, the modification methods of polyoxometalates and the application of polyoxometalates and its compounds in the degradation of organic pollutants are reviewed. The prominent problems and corresponding solutions of polyoxometalates photocatalytic degradation technology at present are pointed out, and its future development direction is prospected.

Published: November 2022

The study pertained to environmentally-friendly methods in the cultivation of cereal, and aimed to manage the quality of rye and triticale seeds and determine the impact of seed conditioning using effective microorganisms (EM), red light (RL), and a combination of the two (RL × EM) on the yield of grain and straw. Moreover, the seeds were sown into soil with and without EM conditioning, designated as 0 and PEM. The yield fluctuations depended mostly on the studied rye and triticale cultivars. The best effects we observed in soil without EM conditioning for Dańkowskie Złote rye and Moderato triticale. The increase in grain and straw yields was, respectively: 26% (RL), 31% (RL × EM), 40% (EM), and 17% (RL × EM), 23% (RL), 32% (EM) – Dańkowskie Złote, 27% (RL × EM), 44% (EM), 46% (RL), and 17% (RL × EM), 51% (EM), 78% (RL) – Moderato. In turn, seeds exposed to the experimental treatment and sown into soil containing EM produced reduced yields in both of the above cultivars. It is noteworthy that the conditioning methods employed in the field experiment can facilitate increased yields but most importantly contribute to the resilience of agrosystems and can therefore have environmental benefits. It is noteworthy that the conditioning methods employed in the field experiment can facilitate increased yields but most importantly contribute to the resilience of agrosystems and can therefore have environmental benefits.
Effect of Actisil (Hydroplus™), organic supplements, and pH of the medium on the micropropagation of Vaccinium corymbosum
Authors: Figiel-Kroczyńska Monika , Krupa-Małkiewicz Marcelina , Ochmian Ireneusz
Published: November 2022

The effect of commercial Hydroplus™ Actisil, coconut water, coconut milk, and pH of the WPM mediumon the micropropagation of V. corymbosum ‘Liberty’ was studied. Three experiments were performed withdifferent concentrations of silicon Hydroplus™ Actisil (Si), coconut water (CW), coconut milk (CM), anddifferent pH as a stress factor. Si was applied at a concentration of 50, 100, 200 and 500 mg dm–3. The highest explant (2.02 cm) with the highest number of new shoots (1.91) and fresh weight (55.16 g) was obtained on WPM medium with the addition of Si in concentration 200 mg dm–3. In experiment 2, similar to 0.1 mg dm–3 zeatin explant growth was achieved when 15% CW was added to the WPM medium (2.13 cm). The use of CM did not have a positive effect on blueberry growth in vitro. The results of experiment 3 indicated that explants of blueberry better developed when pH was lower (5.0) with the highest number of new shoots (2.85) and fresh weight (95.67g). However, there were no significant differences in plant height between pH used. The application of 200 mg dm–3 Actisil benefits the negative effect of higher pH of the WPM medium on micropropagation of blueberry in case of plant height, fresh weight, and biochemical parameters (proline, malondialdehyde – MDA and catalase – CAT activity).
Occurrence of bovine coronavirus and other major respiratory viruses in cattle in Poland
Authors: Socha Wojciech , Larska Magdalena , Rola Jerzy , Bednarek Dariusz
Published: November 2022

Introduction

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a causative agent of enteric and respiratory diseases in cattle. Despite its importance for animal health, no data is available on its prevalence in Poland. The aim of the study was to determine the virus’ seroprevalence, identify risk factors of BCoV exposure in selected cattle farms and investigate the genetic variability of circulating strains.

Material and Methods

Serum and nasal swab samples were collected from 296 individuals from 51 cattle herds. Serum samples were tested with ELISA for the presence of BCoV-, bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1)- and bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV)-specific antibodies. The presence of those viruses in nasal swabs was tested by real-time PCR assays. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using fragments of the BCoV S gene.

Results

Antibodies specific to BCoV were found in 215 (72.6%) animals. Seropositivity for BCoV was more frequent (P>0.05) in calves under 6 months of age, animals with respiratory signs coinfected with BoHV-1 and BVDV and increased with herd size. In the final model, age and herd size were established as risk factors for BCoV-seropositivity. Genetic material of BCoV was found in 31 (10.5%) animals. The probability of BCoV detection was the highest in medium-sized herds. Polish BCoVs showed high genetic homology (98.3–100%) and close relatedness to European strains.

Conclusion

Infections with BCoV were more common than infections with BoHV-1 and BVDV. Bovine coronavirus exposure and shedding show age- and herd density-dependence.

Published: November 2022

Уголовно-правовая охрана половой свободы и половой неприкосновенности личности не является последовательной и полной. Единственным половым преступлением, не связанным с реальным нарушением половых отношений, является понуждение к действиям сексуального характера. Однако в правоприменительной практике нередко имеет место такое понуждение к действиям сексуального характера, которое сопряжено с фактическим осуществлением сексуальных действий с жертвой. Такие ситуации, с одной стороны, выходят за рамки состава понуждения, с другой стороны, не образуют иного преступления. В этой связи в доктрине уголовного права широко распространена позиция о необходимости дополнительной квалификации результативного понуждения лица младше 16 лет по ст. 134 и ст. 135 УК РФ. В статье приводятся аргументы против такого подхода и предлагается обеспечить необходимый запрет посредством дифференциации уголовной ответственности в рамках ст. 133 УК РФ.

SMART EGG INCUBATOR BASED ON MICROCONTROLLER: A REVIEW
Authors: Youcif Izadeen Guhdar , Sarhan Hussein Kocher Idrees
Published: November 2022

Artificial egg incubators are devices that are used to incubate and hatch eggs by maintaining the necessary conditions for fetal development within the egg. Any egg that is being incubated requires a great deal of attention and temperature control. This is accomplished by the use of a temperature control device that runs on electricity. Incubator temperatures are often kept between (98 and 100) degrees Fahrenheit. Even yet, only 78 to 85% of eggs will hatch. To increase the hatchability of the incubator unit, many recommendations are made. Moisture content is another essential consideration that should be stated in the range of 60% to 80%. While hatching the eggs in an incubator unit, there are a number of important aspects to consider. However, the most crucial component is to keep the temperature range within acceptable limits. In this respect, there are many research papers accessible. In general, this article reviewed latest 21 works in literature and provided a complete analysis of a number of ways to control temperature, humidity, and eggs rotation based on microcontrollers to provide a solution to the poultry industry in developing nations. A comparative analysis for recent incubator design approaches in literature is presented by this study including the works of five recent researchers such as, brief discussion of their objectives, problems they try to fix, methodology, preliminary results, and the decision made on each work. Finally, based on reviewing analysis, there is a gap that has not been covered, that is, the remote control and monitoring of the incubator using Internet of Things (IoTs) technology. This function is essential for the incubator to be accessible to boost the product and reduce the malfunction causing product and time losses.

Nation-building and state support for creole languages
Authors: Cahill Griffin
Published: November 2022

Only two French-lexified creole languages possess de jure official status: Haitian (kreyòl aysisyen) in Haiti, and Seychellois (kreol Seselwa) in the Seychelles. This paper situates the past and contemporary sociolinguistics of Haitian and Seychellois in their respective homelands. The histories and politics of the two states are examined from their times as European colonies to their present-day as independent states. This will be followed by comparing the current state of the languages through three lenses: education, government, and popular discourse. The status of the creoles in each of those roles is discussed in relation to the other official languages of the states (French in both, along with English in the Seychelles.) The relationship between the creole languages and French is highlighted. I conclude with a discussion on the power of governmental support for creole languages generally, and potential lessons to be learned from the Haitian and Seychellois cases.
Graduate students would benefit from guidelines for preparing conference abstracts
Authors: Frazer-McKee Gabriel , Vogh Kendall
Published: November 2022

Graduate student writing is finally receiving substantial scholarly attention, but little is known about the characteristics of the unstructured graduate student conference abstract (GSCA). This study seeks to characterize the rhetorical structures of GSCAs, as a basis for identifying potential writing support strategies. 107 French-language GSCAs from language-related fields (e.g., linguistics, second-language teaching) were coded using Hyland’s rhetorical moves (RMs) (Background-Aims-Methods-Results-Conclusion), yielding measures for RM frequency, RM sequencing, and RM recycling. We then use these measures to identify GSCAs that pattern together, via K-Means clustering. We find that the GSCAs studied pattern into three subtypes, two of which (72%) exhibit informational and/or structural shortcomings, most notably (1) missing RMs, (2) cognitively difficult RM sequences, and (3) unbalanced word-to-RM allotment. This study thus confirms that there is a need to implement strategies (e.g., conference submission guidelines) to better support graduate students in mastering this academic genre’s normative content and structure.

Description of the subject. Raspberries and strawberries are highly perishable due to postharvest fungal development. Numerous studies have shown that essential oils can be promising biopesticides for maintaining the quality of fresh fruit during postharvest storage. Objectives. This work aimed to evaluate the potential of Ismelia carinata and Cladanthus arabicus (Asteraceae) essential oils (EOs) to extend the shelf life of raspberries and strawberries. Method. The chemical composition of EOs from I. carinata and C. arabicus was analyzed using GC/MS. In vitro antifungal effects of EOs using agar dilution and disk diffusion methods were tested against Botrytis cinerea. The I. carinata and C. arabicus EOs were used as bioactive agents to preserve the quality of berries during 15 days in cold storage. Also, pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and maturity index of berries treated with 400 mg·l-1 of I. carinata EO are analyzed. Results. The GC/MS analysis revealed that the major compounds were tau-cadinol (65.93%) and tau-muurolol (24.65%) for I. carinata, β-pinene (23.58%), and tau-cadinol (9.54%) for C. arabicus. Both EOs tested showed best inhibition percentages against B.cinerea using the agar dilution method. Ismelia carinata EO was an efficient preservative agent for raspberries and strawberries during storage at 4 °C. The maturity index of both berries was significant compared to untreated controls (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions. Ismelia carinata EO holds promise for extending fruit quality in cold storage, with subsequent benefit to fruit marketing supply chains.
A FOXC2 inhibitor, MC-1-F2, as a therapeutic candidate for targeting EMT in castration-resistant prostate cancer
Authors: Castaneda Maria , Rodriguez Liandra , Oh Jihyun , Suh Hanna , Lee Jiyong
Published: November 2022

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the major treatment option for advanced prostate cancer. However, prostate cancer can develop into androgen-independent castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) which is resistant to ADT. Alternative treatments for CRPC have focused on targeting the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). EMT is governed by a series of transcription factors of which FOXC2 is a central mediator. Our previous research into the inhibition of FOXC2 in breast cancer cells lead to the discovery of MC-1-F2, the first direct inhibitor of FOXC2. During our current study on CRPC, MC-1-F2 has shown a decrease in mesenchymal markers, inhibition of caner stem cell (CSC) properties and decrease in invasive capabilities of CRPC cell lines. We have also demonstrated a synergistic effect between MC-1-F2 and docetaxel treatments, leading to a decrease in docetaxel dosage, suggesting the possible combination therapy of MC-1-F2 and chemotherapeutic drugs for the effective treatment of CRPC.
An Investigation of Synthesis, Electrochemistry and Thermal Stability of Ball-milled Si-based Alloy Anodes in Lithium-ion Batteries
Authors: Zhang Xingyu_Polyu , Wang Luqi , Zheng Tianye , Lam Kwok-ho
Published: November 2022

The huge volume change of Si anode with fast capacity degradation limits its commercialization in LIBs. The co-introduction of metal and O elements into the Si bulk fabricating Si-metal silicide-Si oxides composites has been proven an effective way to overcome this issue. Among them, Si-CuO composites, due to financial feasibility and environmentally compatibility, have attracted much attention recent years but still with the unsatisfactory cycle performance. In order to optimize the cycle stability of Si-CuO composites, NiO is firstly introduced into the Si-CuO system with different proportion from 10 % to 20 % by a facile and low-cost HEBM method. The study reveals that Si72CuO8NiO20, with the least volume change percentage of ~ 133 %, has a highest capacity retention of ~ 86. 9% after 100 cycles at 0.2 C and average coulombic efficiency of ~ 99.4 % as well as a competitive volumetric capacity of ~ 1700 Ah·L-1 based on the 2nd lithiation. These results confirm the effectiveness of the NiO introduction to improve the cycle performance of the Si-CuO composites. Moreover, in order to make sure the ball-milled Si-CuO-NiO precursors can be well compatible with the high-temperature post-treatment of coating a carbon layer, the thermal stability of Si72CuO8NiO20 is also conducted with the best cycle stability at 600 °C.
Możliwości wprowadzania Mindtoyness do wczesnej edukacji. Ewaluacja z perspektywy społeczno-organizacyjnej i badawczej

Published: November 2022

The article continues the issues surrounding the Mindtoynessproject, carried out between 2019 and 2021. Its summary would not be complete if it were not accompanied by a broader, social reflection on the context in which it arose and was developed. This context consists of: the change in perceptions and cognitive processes in the digital turn, turbulent social background, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic together with the reforms of the education system in Poland. When evaluating the MT project, it is also worth pointing out the possibilities of introducing the kits at the level of early childhood education, confronting them with the current core curriculum. Other aspects of project evaluation concern the possibility of conducting research at a distance, as an unavoidable consequence of a pandemic situation and conclusions relating to the differences associated with the different cultural contexts in which the researcher and collaborating actors work.

The article aims to empirically test the hypothesis on the impact of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) practices and employees’ personal environmental concerns on the performance of Russian companies. The methodological basis is the theory of corporate social and environmental responsibility embodied in the ESG concept. Exploratory factor analysis and linear regression are used to assess individual factors of corporate responsibility and personal environmental concerns on the ability of companies to perform better, i.e. to achieve their long-term goals. The empirical basis is the survey data of 339 employees of Russian companies. The research results show that strategic aspects of environmental responsibility and corporate governance are strongly connected within a single theoretical framework, while social responsibility of companies and environmental concern can be identified as a separate area of managerial efforts. Originality of the chosen approach is related to the proposed structured questionnaire that reveals various aspects of personal environmental concern and contributes to ESG practices assessment. The conducted regression analysis has demonstrated a positive impact of ESG strategies on the performance of the Russian companies in question, showing that social responsibility plays a decisive role in the ESG formula. Environmental concerns of employees do not have a significant effect on their personal assessment of organizational performance. The authors propose that managers should implement the most relevant ESG practices discussed in this article to sustain high levels of organizational performance.

It is widely assumed that natural dyes in weaving degrade in quality when exposed to sunlight for an extended period. This indication is visible to the naked eye. There is currently no standard for evaluating the quality of natural dyes. The Boti tribe's weaving on Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara Province, is one type of weaving that uses natural dyes. The dye is made from corn flour and a combination of "nobah" leaves and the bark of the "bauk ulu" tree (from the local language). White (from corn flour) and blue-black are the colors produced by dyeing the yarn. The purpose of this research is to examine the image quality of the Boti tribe's woven fabric. The parameters used were Means Square Error (MSE), Peak Signal to Noise (PSNR), and RGB values. The image of the weaving used as a reference is compared to the image of the sun-dried weaving. The image capture distance was 30 cm, and the cropped RGB image size was 423x623x3. The experimental method was used in the research. The drying time was one hour, and it was repeated every hour between 10:00 and 15:00 local time. The sun-dried images were photographed, and parameter comparisons were performed for analysis. The results demonstrated that the MSE and PSNR methods were effective in measuring the image quality of weaving dyed with natural dyes. The average value has changed by 8.42% for the R-value, 8.58% for the G value, and 9.68% for the B value. The average PSNR for RGB images is 9.44288 dB, and the MSE is 7477.52. For grayscale images, the average PSNR is 10.52 dB and the average MSE is 5832.06.

An unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle (UCAV) is an unmanned aircraft that has a serial control communication device that can be seen directly in real-time. In carrying out UCAV flights, it requires good and stable data transmission security so that signal loss does not occur during the communication process. Researchers create a concept of a security scheme in communication at the Ground Control Station (GCS) that can be used for the use of UCAV communication at long distances, using the Quality of Service (QoS) method from OPEN VPN with parameters Throughput, Packet Loss, Delay (Latency) and Jitter can determine the reliability of a UCAV communication network. Based on the results of Quality of Service (QoS) testing with OpenVPN Autopilot UCAV objects on the ICMP protocol have the smallest packet loss value of 0%, the delay parameter is 5.2ms, the jitter parameter gets a high value of 4.68 ms higher than the TCP protocol and UDP. The TCP protocol has a relatively small packet loss value of 0.3% and ranks second to the ICMP protocol, then the delay value is 8.48 ms greater than the ICMP and UDP protocols, and the jitter parameter value is 0.0013 ms smaller than the ICMP and UDP protocols.  The use of VPN OVPN is a good recommendation. Still, researchers suggest that should use not only OPEN VPN but also L2TP VPN and PPTP VPN for security at the Ground Control Station at UCAV as a comparison.

Enterprises Resource Planning (ERP) systems can be analogized as the backbone of the information system in a company. Many large-scale companies have adopted ERP systems to increase efficiency in the company's business processes. This research departs from the issue of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are required to use ERP to compete in the global market but cannot implement an ERP system at a high cost. However, SMEs have financial limitations in adopting high-cost ERP systems. On the other hand, many open-source ERP systems can currently be used for free but with a limited number of modules. This study focuses on implementing an open-source ERP system using Odoo software version 15 on SMEs Transportation Services Providers. The goal is to develop an open-source ERP-based fleet management system for SMEs. The system developed successfully met the company's managerial expectations. All processes previously carried out manually have been carried out using the developed system. All cross-sectional data is stored in the company's master data and can be integrated to support the decision-making process, and company archives have been well documented. Based on the results of User Acceptance Testing (UAT), 98% of the system has met the needs of SMEs. It can be concluded that the implementation of an open-source ERP-based fleet management system is very helpful in managing the business processes of SMEs Transportation Services Providers more effectively and efficiently.
