Die Kultur des Aufhörens
Authors: Welzer Harald
Published: September 2023

Ausgehend von der absoluten Katastrophe der Apokalypse wird nach einem Begriff von Endlichkeit gefragt, um das Niemandsland zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zu erkunden. Die Frage nach dem Überleben auf dem Hintergrund zahlreicher gesellschaftlicher Krisen wird zum Problem der künftigen Generationen. Die »Externalisierungsgesellschaft« (Lessenich) beutet die Zukunft aus und trennt Mensch und Natur, anstatt in der Naturkultur das Spezifikum menschlicher Lebensformen zu betrachten. Etwas Neues könnte aus der menschlichen Fähigkeit, frei und unwiderruflich zu handeln, entstehen. Diese setzt die grundlegende Aufeinanderbezogenheit der Menschen voraus, die in der Tatsache der Natalität (Arendt) gründet. So könnte ein neues Kulturmodell, das die Schönheit des Aufhörens als Notwendigkeit eines neuen zivilisatorischen Projektes impliziert, gefunden werden.

Authors: Diaz Cuevas Pilar , Orozco Futos Gabriel , Prieto Campos Antonio , Pérez Pérez Belén
Published: September 2023

El presente trabajo pone a disposición la información espacial relativa a las centrales fotovoltaicas y termosolares instaladas en Andalucía, además de información alfanumérica sobre el tipo de central y la potencia instalada. Para ello se digitalizan a escala detallada y a partir de la última ortofotografía aérea disponible los polígonos correspondientes a centrales solares instaladas en la región. Además, se realiza un análisis exploratorio con la información generada, calculando indicadores no desarrollados hasta el momento en la Comunidad Autónoma. Entre los principales resultados obtenidos destacan el mayor consumo de suelo por potencia instalada de las centrales termosolares, la identificación de municipios donde la presencia de estas instalaciones ocupan ya el 15% de su territorio, o la diferencia en los patrones de consumo de suelo de cada tipo de central. El acceso y la reutilización de la información se garantizan mediante un mapa web con servicios Web Feature Services (WFS), que permitirá no sólo la geovisualización, sino la descarga de datos. La disponibilidad de esta información permite superar los análisis realizados hasta el momento, basados en una capa puntual procedente de la Agencia Andaluza de la Energía distribuida por el Instituto de Estadística y Cartografía de Andalucía.

Published: September 2023

En este estudio se analizan y comparan las áreas de accesibilidad que se pueden generar alrededor de las estaciones que componen la red ferroviaria andaluza a partir del desplazamiento en automóvil privado. Para ello, se han establecido los tres grupos en los que una misma estación puede estar incluida y que se encuentran compuestos por aquéllas que prestan servicios de Alta Velocidad, Media Distancia y Cercanías.
Los cálculos de estos ámbitos se han obtenido mediante un SIG, con información espacial proveniente del Instituto de Estadística y Cartografía de Andalucía (IECA), revisada y actualizada con el fin de corregir aquellas discordancias que puedan existir en la información, principalmente, de la red ferroviaria, viaria y núcleos de población. También, se ha manejado datos provenientes de Renfe con el fin de conocer los servicios que prestan las diferentes estaciones.
Los resultados vienen a constatar cómo actualmente las estaciones que prestan servicios de Media Distancia tienen bajo sus ámbitos de accesibilidad a más población, al ser las más numerosas. Por el contrario, las que permiten acceder a servicios de Alta Velocidad llegan a menos habitantes, si bien, por número de paradas, sirven a más población. Para finalizar, las que conforman los tres núcleos de Cercanías se caracterizan por emplazarse en ámbitos muy poblados, siendo el segundo tipo de servicio que tiene mayor volumen de habitantes en sus ámbitos de accesibilidad.

To maintain the continuous product flow in the pipe, the durability of the pipe structure is achieved through pipe insulation. The composite material will be used as the main material, since it may have the combined characteristics of the constituents or have substantially different properties than the individual constituents. Replacing the damaged pipe with a new one will not only consume high cost but also will create a complication for product flow. As to alleviate such situations this research focusses on using the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) as the wrapping material. To identify the suitable design and optimization of laminated CFRP on piping systems, the defect, leakage and imperfection on pipe shallbe identified. The effect of different laminate orientationthrough Classical Laminate Theory CLT and experimental data too need to be considered as it changes the mechanical properties of the composite material. The microstructure of the composite too will be validated as an extra reference for the theoretical and experimental data on its effect in the microstructure after the loading.

Published: September 2023

Among many contemporary threats, which include threats in the military, economic or social sphere, issues related to threats in cyberspace, artificial intelligence (AI), genetic modifications of the human genome and threats related to with space exploration. This work, based on a qualitative analysis of the literature, aims to identify selected, often overlooked and not functioning in the common awareness of contemporary threats to state security. The analysis undertaken allows us to conclude that an important factor contributing to the increase in the level of threat to the security of the state and nation today are the contemporary "black swans" in the security sphere, the weakness of political leadership, unknown directions of AI development and changes in the human genome, threats related to the outer space exploration and threats in cyberspace.

Introdução: A Síndrome de Heterotaxia (HS) é um defeito congênito que ocasiona anormalidades no padrão anatômico de organização dos órgãos e estruturas abdominais e torácicas. O fator comum a todos pacientes com HS é a ausência de arranjos fixos de alterações, logo cada apresentação clínica é única e sem precedentes. O colangiocarcinoma pertence ao grupo das neoplasias dos canais biliares podendo ocorrer em qualquer parte da árvore biliar. Neste trabalho, será relatado um caso incomum de uma paciente do sexo feminino com colangiocarcinoma peri-hilar e HS. Relato de Caso: Paciente do sexo feminino, 69 anos, foi admitida na Cirurgia Digestiva de um serviço secundário com histórico de febre, perda de peso (6kg), inapetência, e astenia durante 1 mês. Os resultados da Tomografia Computadorizada sugerem um colangiocarcinoma peri-hilar, além de poliesplenia, dilatação acentuada dos canais biliares intra-hepáticos e hiperdistensão da vesícula biliar. Foi realizado um ecocardiograma transtorácico, concluído como grau I de disfunção diastólica, associado à refluxo em válvulas mitrais e tricúspides. A cirurgia foi realizada, onde se procedeu à dissecção e isolamento da veia portal anómala, com subsequente dissecção retrógrada da vesícula biliar pós-portal do leito hepático, isolamento da artéria hepática, ligadura da artéria cística e colecistectomia. Realizou-se isolamento e ressecção do ducto biliar extra-hepático contendo o tumor em toda a sua extensão com margens livres de neoplasia. Conclusões: O colangiocarcinoma peri-hepático numa paciente com HS raramente ocorre na literatura, e no presente trabalho foi realizada uma ressecção cirúrgica complexa do mesmo, com base numa investigação anatómica pré-operatória adequada.

Autophagy in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: From Mechanism to Regulation
Authors: Zheng Jia , Zou Wei , Yu Xueping
Published: September 2023

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal type of stroke. Secondary injury from ICH determines the recovery, but there is still a lack of effective treatment. The identification of new therapeutic targets may address the current dilemma. The process of autophagy is mediated through the lysosomal pathway and is used to maintain cell homeostasis. Recent studies have advanced our knowledge of autophagy, and in particular its involvement in cell physiology and pathology. Autophagy involves multiple targets and signaling pathways and occurs in many brain cells. It also regulates oxidative stress and inflammation after ICH, both of which are important factors in secondary brain injury. An appropriate level of autophagy is protective in ICH, whereas excessive autophagy may be detrimental. In this review, we discuss the signaling pathways for autophagy in ICH and related factors that provide a theoretical basis for the discovery of new treatment targets.
The Road to Clean Air: Lessons from Thailand and the United States.docx
Authors: Ngamkaiwan Chomkate , Schraufnagel Scot , Sirivunnabood Punchada
Published: September 2023

Today, both Thailand and the United States face stalemate in addressing serious environmental problems. The lack of policy action seemingly occurs, in both countries, because of an unwillingness on the part of government to address the problem. Yet, we know there are instances of “punctuated equilibrium” or significant policy movement that upsets status quo arrangements and causes government to act. This research uses a case study approach and a Most Different Systems Design to study movement, or gridlock, in environmental policy in two countries half a world apart. By studying both successes and failures, in distinct socio-political settings, we are able to uncover systematic explanations for environmental policy progress. Specifically, we learn that political and public consensus is crucial for environmental policy success. Moreover, we learn that vested business interests often hinder policy advancement. Last, we learn that environmental interest groups and international pressure are neither necessary nor sufficient to produce policy change.

FOXJ1 is differentially expressed in central nervous system metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that forkhead box J1, encoded by FOXJ1, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. FOXJ1 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of FOXJ1 in primary tumors was correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of FOXJ1 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

TROPOMI/S5P sensitivity limits with respect to detection of NO2 plumes from seagoing ships
Authors: Kurchaba Solomiia , Sokolovsky Artur , van Vliet Jasper , Verbeek Fons , Veenman Cor
Published: September 2023

The marine shipping industry is among the strong emitters of nitrogen oxides (NOx) -- a substance harmful to ecology and human health. Monitoring of emissions from shipping is a significant societal task. Currently, the only technical possibility to observe NO2 emission from seagoing ships on a global scale is using TROPOMI data. A range of studies reported that NO2 plumes from some individual ships can be visually distinguished on selected TROPOMI images. However, all these studies applied subjectively established pre-determined thresholds to the minimum speed and length of the ship -- variables that to a large extent define the emission potential of a ship. In this study, we investigate the sensitivity limits for ship plume detection as a function of their speed and length using TROPOMI data. For this, we train a classification model to distinguish TROPOMI image patches with a ship, from the image patches, where there were no ships. This way, we exploit ground truth ship location data to potentially exceed human visual distinguishability. To test for regional differences, we study four regions: the Mediterranean Sea, Biscay Bay, Arabian Sea, and Bengal Bay. For the Mediterranean and the Arabian Sea, we estimate the sensitivity limit to lie around a minimum speed of 10 knots and a minimum length of 150 meters. For the Biscay Bay - around 8 knots and 100 meters. We further show that when focusing the analysis on the biggest emitters (junctions of several ships in the area), the detectability can be improved up to above 0.8 ROC-AUC. Finally, we show that increasing the size of the dataset, beyond the dataset used in this study, yields further improvements in the detectability of smaller/slower ships. The rate of improvement in both experiments is dependent on the region studied. This paper is the first comprehensive study on the real-world sensitivity of the TROPOMI instrument to distinguish the NO2 emission produced by seagoing ships.
What Ergodicity Means for You
Authors: Hunter Michael D. , Fisher Zachary , Geier Charles F.
Published: September 2023

This paper explores the relation between within-person and between-person research designs using the concept of ergodicity from statistical mechanics in physics. We create several simulated examples that illustrate the independence of within-person processes from between-person differences, and pair these examples with analytic results that reinforce our conclusions. We then further demonstrate the consequences of ergodicity using several real data examples from previously published studies. Finally, we discuss the plausibility of ergodicity being the general rule rather than the exception for social and behavioral processes, address common arguments against heeding the implications of ergodicity for behavioral research, and offer several possible solutions.
The Alignment Model of Indirect Communication
Authors: Achimova Asya , Franke Michael , Butz Martin V.
Published: September 2023

Speakers often choose utterances under uncertainty about the potential opinions of the listener. In this case, utterances that do not signal the speaker's opinion directly may allow the speaker to avoid possible conflict. Adopting the Rational Speech Act framework, we develop a model of indirect communication that is able to (1) rationalize the choice of indirect utterances when speakers' opinions do not align; (2) capture complex reasoning about the interlocutor's opinion based on their reaction to an initial statement. The model has several novel features: the social utility component in the speaker function is computed by simulating potential divergences of opinions between conversation partners. This simulation becomes possible due to the inclusion of higher-order beliefs in the model machinery. The model further considers multi-turn dialogues rather than isolated utterances when inferring listener's opinion. We are therefore able to take a longer planning horizon into account when calculating the probability of utterances and use preceding discourse in social reasoning. The model, though complex, makes novel, non-trivial qualitative predictions, which are supported by data from three behavioral experiments reported here.
The Impact of Background Noise on Memory Recall: An Independent Measures Design Study with High School Students
Authors: Du Jiayi
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the impact of background noise on memory recall among high school students using an independent measures design. Building upon the cognitive load theory, which posits that an overloaded working memory diminishes the ability to process and retain information, the research explores how background noise influences memory recall. A thorough literature review, encompassing seminal studies, supports the hypothesis that background noise negatively affects memory recall. A sample of 20 high school students participated in the experiment, wherein they were randomly assigned to either a quiet or noisy condition while attempting to recall a list of 10 words. The results reveal a statistically significant difference in memory recall between the two conditions, providing substantial evidence that background noise hampers memory retention. The study underscores the importance of considering environmental factors, such as background noise, in designing effective study environments for high school students.
Individuating patterns of visual attention in abstract conceptual feature space revealed using natural language model
Authors: Haskins Amanda J , Packard Katherine O. , Robertson Caroline Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

No two individuals’ gaze patterns during naturalisticviewing are identical: we each prioritize attending todifferent features when exploring a real-worldenvironment. Yet, a key question remains unanswered:What representational space structures these individualdifferences? We hypothesized that conceptual-levelfeatures (e.g., “flirting”, “for sale”), as compared toobject/categorical-level features (e.g., “face”, “chair”)explain gaze differences, and that conceptual prioritiesare trait-, rather than state-like. Here, we developed anovel approach for contrasting abstract conceptualinformation and object/categorical information present inreal-world scenes using a novel eyetracking analysis andcomputational language and vision models. Wemeasured participants’ naturalistic attention while theyactively explored real-world environments in virtualreality (N = 62; N = 29 repeat participants). For eachparticipant, we modeled the relationship between theirattentional patterns and two feature spaces: 1) anabstract conceptual space and 2) a visual categoricalspace. In brief, we find evidence for stable, individuatingpatterns of attention (i.e., “attentional fingerprints”) in theconceptual feature space. Critically, however, gazepatterns do not simply reflect object/categorical-levelpriorities, as gaze patterns in the feature space of a visionmodel cannot be used to individuate participants.
Philosophy and its Psychological Correlates
Authors: Clarke Joel , Torrance Jaimie Stephen
Published: September 2023

Stoicism is a philosophy that aims to remove unnecessary suffering and improve meaning in life by perfecting human rationality. The differences between Stoicism, the ancient Greek philosophy, and stoicism, the psychological measure, are yet to be sufficiently understood. The Liverpool Stoicism Scale (LSS) has been associated with negative psychological outcomes but has poor conceptual validity for measuring Stoic philosophy. The Pathak-Wieten Stoicism Ideology Scale (PW-SIS) is an improved method of assessment of Stoic philosophy and was used in this study to assess the possible interactions between stoicism, gender, satisfaction with life and age. During the month of May 2023, 772 participants (women = 79%, M Age = 47.37, SD Age = 12.53), 18 years or older, answered demographic questions, the PW-SIS, and the Satisfaction With Life Scale. An omnibus model multiple regression revealed: a weak, negative, and significant relationship between stoicism and satisfaction with life; a weak, positive, and significant relationship between stoicism and gender; and no significant relationship between stoicism and age. Exploratory analyses revealed different associations between facets of Stoicism, mean stoicism, and satisfaction with life. This study used the PW-SIS, to provide conclusions with an improved conceptual validity than that made using the LSS. Facet level analyses affords conclusions that can distinguish differential effects of Stoic philosophy and thereby improve the ability to apply particular beneficial components in psychological interventions.
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks are Sensitive to Face Configuration
Authors: Strehle Virginia E. , Bendiksen Natalie , O'TOOLE ALICE
Published: September 2023

Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) are remarkably accurate models of human face recognition. However, less is known about whether these models generate face representations similar to those used by humans. Sensitivity to facial configuration has long been considered a marker of human perceptual expertise for faces. We tested whether DCNNs trained for face identification "perceive" alterations to facial features and their configuration. We also compared the extent to which representations changed as a function of the alteration type. Facial configuration was altered by changing the distance between the eyes or the distance between the nose and mouth. Face features were altered by replacing the eyes or mouth with those of another face. Altered faces were processed by DCNNs (Ranjan et al., 2017; Szegedy et al., 2017) and the similarity of the generated representations was compared. Both DCNNs were sensitive to configural and feature changes --- with changes to configuration altering the DCNN representations more than changes to face features. To determine whether the DCNNs' greater sensitivity to configuration was due to a priori differences in the images or characteristics of the DCNN processing, we compared the representation of features and configuration between the low-level, pixel-based representation and the DCNN-generated representations. Sensitivity to face configuration increased from the pixel-level image to the DCNN encoding, whereas the sensitivity to features did not change. The enhancement of configural information may be due to the utility of configuration for discriminating among similar faces and the within-category nature of face identification training.
Mathematical Models for Rural Doctor Service Efficiency: Applying Queuing Theory and Operations Research to Improve Healthcare Services
Authors: Sun Yimeng , Zhao Eric
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we explored the application of mathematical modeling and operations research techniques in optimizing healthcare delivery in rural settings. We introduced a queuing model to understand the dynamics of patient arrival rates, service rates, system utilization, and waiting times, providing crucial insights into potential areas for healthcare improvement. The paper further investigates the utilization of operations research methods such as linear programming, integer programming, and simulation-based optimization to balance service quality, patient waiting times, and operational costs. Although these techniques present their own implementation challenges, they offer a means for more effective decision-making. While rural healthcare presents unique constraints and challenges, the integration of mathematical modeling and operations research holds the promise of improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Further research in this field could offer significant advancements in the sustainability and effectiveness of rural healthcare services.

PT Vale Indonesia Tbk, merupakan perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang usaha pertambangan dengan komoditas tambang utamanya adalah mineral logam yang berupa nikel laterit dan berada di Sorowako Kecamatan Nuha, Kabupaten Luwu Timur, Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Bedrock dari komoditas tambang nikel laterit tersebut dimanfaatkan sebagai material penguatan bersama dengan material slag dan reject yang nantinya akan digunakan dalam pembuatan dyke, disposal dan main haul road. Pembongkaran bedrock dilakukan dengan metode pengeboran dan peledakan. Salah satu masalah yang sering timbul akibat kegiatan peledakan adalah efek getaran tanah (ground vibration). Tercatat pada bulan Januari hingga Maret 2020 nilai peak particle velocity (PPV) mencapai 3,5 mm/s pada jarak 420 meter di Sorowako east dan telah melebihi standar ambang batas nilai PPV terhadap bangunan sekitar. Menurut SNI 7571 : 2010 efek peledakan pada salah satu quarry Sorowako east dikatakan tidak aman terhadap bangunan dan kebun warga sekitar. Bangunan warga yang masuk ke dalam radius safe distance peledakan tergolong bangunan kelas II “jenis bangunan dengan pondasi, pasangan bata dan adukan semen saja, termasuk bangunan dengan pondasi dari kayu dan lantainya diberi adukan semen”, dengan nilai batas aman peak particle velocity < 3 mm/s. Berdasarkan data hasil pengukuran ground vibration aktual dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan teori scaled distance dan multivariate regression analysis untuk mendapatkan hubungan antara ground vibration dan jumlah isian bahan peledak anfo per delay. Rumusan hasil analisis dapat dijadikan acuan untuk menentukan jumlah isian bahan peledak anfo per delay agar ground vibration yang dihasilkan dapat terkontrol dan tidak melebihi batas aman. Hasil prediksi rumusan ground vibration usulan untuk Sorowako west dan east adalah rumusan prediksi berdasarkan teori multivariate regression analysis dengan persen kesalahan relatif rata - rata untuk peak particle velocity (PPV) prediksi yaitu sebesar 22,36 % dan 30,99 % terhadap peak particle velocity (PPV) aktual. Rumusan prediksi ground vibration usulan kemudian digunakan untuk usulan isian bahan peledak anfo per delay Sorowako west dengan bangunan kelas III yaitu jarak 100 meter sebanyak 20,41 kg/delay dan jarak 700 meter sebanyak 5328,31 kg/delay, sementara untuk Sorowako east dengan bangunan kelas II yaitu jarak 100 meter sebanyak 22,69 kg/delay dan jarak 700 meter sebanyak 472,77 kg/delay.

PT. Jomima Baramulia Abadi adalah perusahaan yang bergerak dalam bidang produksi batubara, PT JBA menggunakan kombinasi alat mekanis untuk melakukan kegiatan penambangan guna mencapai target produksi yaitu sebesar 210.000 BCM/bulan. Alat mekanis yang digunakan dalam kegiatan penggalian dan pemuatan yaitu Excavator Doosan DX 800 LC, sedangkan alat angkut yang diguanakan adalah Dump Truck Sany SKT 80 S. Permasalahan yang terjadi saat ini adalah belum tercapainya target produksi sebesar 210.000 BCM/bulan. Data aktual dari hasil penelitian, produksi saat ini masih sebesar 61.254 BCM/bulan untuk alat muat. Untuk target produksi yang ditetapkan perusahaan belum tercapai, maka dilakukan upaya analisis penyebab tidak tercapainya target produksi. Upaya peningkatan produksi penambangan batubara dilakukan dengan memperbaiki geometri jalan, penambahan alat angkut dan melakukan penekanan terhadap waktu edar alat mekanis. Setelah dilakukan perbaikan pada waktu edar dan penambahan jumlah curah, waktu edar alat angkut meningkat dari 11,43 menit menjadi 9,69 menit untuk satu kali ritase. Produksi alat gali muat meningkat menjadi 301,050 BCM/bulan yang awalnya 61,254 BCM/bulan dan produksi alat angkut 317,640 BCM/bulan yang awalnya BCM/bulan 64,632 BCM/bulan.

Purpose:

This study is the second part of a cross-sectional questionnaire aiming to identify Canadian physiotherapists needs and strategies for physiotherapy associations to improve cultural competence in physiotherapy.

Methods:

We conducted a descriptive qualitative analysis of one open-ended question of a cross-sectional questionnaire. We used inductive thematic analysis to develop and modify codes as concepts emerged. Inductive analysis was used to develop the codebook from the qualitative finding of the research study.

Results:

We received a total of 806 responses, and of those individuals, 485 provided one to three suggestions as part of the open-ended question. We identified two major themes from our open-ended question: (1) education and (2) institutional change. There were four subthemes categorized under education: (1) Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) training opportunities, (2) resources, (3) accessibility to education, and (4) representation within educational resources. Institutional change was categorized into three subthemes: (1) advocacy, (2) support, and (3) representation in leadership.

Conclusions:

The results of this questionnaire act as a meaningful and necessary call to action to key stakeholders in the physiotherapy profession.

Clinical Impact:

There is a need for educational institutions, regulatory bodies, and associations to re-evaluate policies surrounding cultural competence to improve the delivery of culturally safe healthcare.
Changes in the key agrochemical properties of soddy-podzolic soil after fertilisation of jerusalem artichoke with sewage sludge
Authors: Lopushniak V. , Hrytsuliak H.
Published: September 2023

Studies have shown that the introduction of sewage sludge and composts based on it under Jerusalem artichoke significantly affects the change in agrochemical parameters of soddy-medium-podzolic soil, contributing to an increase in the content of alkaline-hydrolysed nitrogen compounds by 2.2-13.4 mg/kg of soil compared to the control and determining the content at the level of 51.2-56.5 mg/kg of soil in the upper (0-20 cm) and 27.9-31.6 mg/kg of soil – in the lower (20-40 cm) soil layer. The content of ammonium nitrogen compounds in the variants with fertiliser application fluctuated in a small range of values (16-21 mg/kg of soil) and increased under the influence of increasing fertilizer doses. Along with the change in the content of nitrate nitrogen, this contributed to an increase in the content of mineral nitrogen compounds in the soil in the range of 18.5-23.4 mg/kg of soil in the arable (0-20 cm) and 19.8-21.9 mg/kg of soil – in the subsoil (20-40 cm) layers, which is 1.7-2.2 mg/kg of soil higher than the control variant. The highest values of mineral nitrogen compounds were recorded in the variant where the highest dose of sewage sludge – 40 t/ha and mineral fertilisers were applied (N10P14K58). Despite a wide range of nitrogen content values for alkaline hydrolysed compounds and mineral nitrogenous compounds, their ratio remained stable and amounted to 2.3-2.6 in the upper and 1.3-1.5 in the lower (20-40 cm) soil layer, and also decreased with increasing fertiliser application dose. That is, this parameter varied insignificantly depending on the dose of fertiliser application. The content of mobile phosphorus compounds in the variants with the use of fertilisers fluctuated in the range of values (77.5-98.5 mg/kg of soil) and increased under the influence of sewage sludge and composts based on it, which exceeded the control values by 14.6-35.6 mg/kg of soil. The highest rates of mobile phosphorus compounds were recorded in the variant where sewage sludge was applied – 40 t/ha and N10P14K58.10P14K58. The introduction of sewage sludge at a dose of 20-40 t/ha contributed to an increase in the content of exchangeable potassium compounds at the level of 89.3-97.2 mg/kg of soil in the upper (0-20 cm) and 83.1-93.4 mg/kg of soil – in the lower (20-40 cm) layer, which is more than 42.1 mg/kg of soil exceeded the control variant. To a lesser extent, the content of exchangeable potassium compounds increased with the introduction of composts based on sewage sludge and straw. The correlation and regression analysis indicates that the coefficient of phosphorus concentration in the soil depends to the greatest extent on the content of its mobile compounds with the coefficient of determination R2 = 0.70. The potassium concentration coefficient closely (R2 = 0.91) correlates with the content of its metabolic compounds in the soil

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan dan menganalisis makna dalam simbol-simbol pada logo Kendal. Pada tahun 2021 kabupaten Kendal meluncurkan program city branding melalui Kendal Handal “Beautiful Land Good Bussines. Logo adalah simbol yang mewakili seseorang dan digunakan untuk menggambarkan citra atau karakter suatu lembaga, perusahaan atau organisasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teori ikonografi dan ikonologi oleh Erwin Panofsky untuk mengungkap makna logo melalui aspek estetika dalam perancangannya. Pendekatan semiotika oleh Charles Sanders Peirce diperlukan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam tehadap elemen-elemen yang terdapat pada logo Kendal. Berdasarkan hasil analisis, logo Kendal sangat mengekspos nilai-nilai lokal yang khas daerahnya. Hal tersebut ditunjukkan dari penggunaan warna dan keragaman ikon-ikon yang tampak ramai dan bertumpuk-tumpuk di tengah popularitas logo yang menampilkan konsep kesederhanaan (simplicity). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa tanda-tanda yang terdapat pada unsur-unsur logo Kendal sejalan dengan visi dan misi pemerintah Kabupaten Kendal yaitu menjadi pusat industri dan wisata unggulan. Pemaknaan dari bentuk logo bukanlah sesuatu yang statis, hal tersebut tentunya akan berubah-ubah sesuai dengan kondisi di dalamnya. Logo Kendal Handal merupakan salah satu bagian dari dinamika yang ada dan mewakili kondisi geografi, histori dan budaya pada setiap jamannya.
