Entre pantallas y pensamientos: hacia una educación reflexiva en entornos digitales
Authors: Conesa-Lareo María-Dolores
Published: January 2025

La pregunta de investigación que ha desencadenado este trabajo es la siguiente, ¿qué características del estilo de vida actual en las sociedades occidentales han propiciado el déficit de reflexión en el que estamos sumidos? Mi hipótesis de trabajo es que este declive de la reflexión procede del estado de alerta permanente al que nos conduce la sociedad contemporánea. Para mostrarlo, he indagado en los factores que lo producen que, al converger, se potencian entre ellos. Estos factores son la hiperactividad propia de la vida digital; la obligación que nos impone el Pensamiento Positivo para conseguir una vida feliz y exitosa; la presión por aumentar nuestro rendimiento y por la mejora continua; la pandemia de individualismo narcisista; las alteraciones de los circuitos neuronales debidas a la plasticidad cerebral y producidas por las interrupciones de la conexión digital continua, y los cambios que esto produce en la estructura de la atención.
En la interrelación de estos factores juega un papel primordial la dialéctica positividad-negatividad que se haya en el núcleo de la sustitución de la reflexión por la actividad inagotable. Todo ese panorama no es ajeno al mundo educativo, más bien lo ha permeado desde la escuela hasta la universidad. Por eso la conclusión es más bien una invitación a recuperar la reflexión en el ámbito educativo y, con ella, la transmisión cultural y el ideal de vida intelectual y contemplativa. Solo así podremos ayudar a nuestros jóvenes a superar el aislamiento del individualismo al incorporarlos a la comunidad propia de la vida intelectual.
Revisión sistemática sobre aprendizaje colaborativo mediante realidad virtual, realidad aumentada y realidad mixta
Authors: Prieto Andreu Joel Manuel
Published: January 2025

La integración de la realidad aumentada (RA), la realidad virtual (RV) y la realidad mixta (RM) en la educación es muy prometedora para el avance de modelos de enseñanza y aprendizaje que satisfagan las necesidades de los estudiantes del siglo XXI. El aprendizaje basado en RA y RV ofrecen eficacia y total inmersión, mientras la RM fusiona el mundo real con el virtual para tener experiencias superpuestas. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios que examinen los factores pedagógicos y los beneficios potenciales del aprendizaje colaborativo en estos entornos. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para explorar el impacto de las experiencias colaborativas facilitadas por AR, VR y MR. Para la selección de estudios se ha elaborado la revisión sistemática rápida siguiendo los protocolos de la declaración PRISMA 2020. En esta revisión, se analizaron 62 estudios centrados en el aprendizaje colaborativo a través de AR, VR o MR, comprendiendo 7 revisiones teóricas, 21 estudios experimentales y 34 estudios observacionales. Se han seguido los criterios expuestos en la Guía para la Evaluación de Criterios de Calidad del Instituto Nacional del Corazón, los Pulmones y la Sangre (NHLBI, 2020). Las limitaciones técnicas y la falta de diseño instruccional obstaculizan la usabilidad de la realidad virtual y la realidad aumentada en la educación. Se sugieren sesiones del mundo real y una interacción adecuada para monitorear y manipular contenido virtual. La integración de tecnologías de RM en la educación superior puede mejorar la práctica educativa, pero persisten desafíos. Se necesitan más investigaciones para evaluar su eficacia en el aprendizaje colaborativo. Al comprender los desafíos y oportunidades que presentan estas tecnologías en la enseñanza de materias científicas, los formuladores de políticas y los educadores pueden desarrollar estrategias efectivas para aprovechar las tendencias actuales y fomentar un cambio educativo significativo.

Authors: Sánchez-Morales Pablo José , Ortiz-Municio Zuleima , Rivas-Ruiz Francisco
Published: January 2025

En el presente estudio se abordan los cambios que ha experimentado el campo de la Pedagogía, desde un paradigma tradicional centrado en el ámbito escolar hasta el momento actual. El objetivo de esta investigación es describir la situación laboral de los profesionales de la Pedagogía, examinando la correlación entre su formación académica y las oportunidades y desafíos laborales a los que se enfrentan. La metodología de este estudio se centra en una muestra que supera el millar de pedagogos españoles. Los participantes aportaron información a través de un cuestionario, acerca de su situación laboral actual, campos de actuación, trayectoria profesional, y el grado de interacción con diversas herramientas y prácticas curriculares. Los resultados exponen que la inserción laboral de los profesionales en Pedagogía es comparable a la de titulaciones afines y describe un amplio abanico de posibilidades. Adquieren especial relevancia los campos de la Pedagogía social y laboral, que están experimentando un crecimiento notable en las últimas décadas. Adicionalmente, el estudio pone de manifiesto desigualdades de género en lo que respecta a las oportunidades laborales y muestra una correlación estadísticamente significativa entre la tasa de inserción laboral y la tasa de desempleo por provincias y, por último, describe diferencias significativas entre el tipo de herramientas utilizadas en cada ámbito. La discusión plantea la necesidad de una investigación más profunda centrada en la interrelación entre la formación universitaria en Pedagogía y la realidad laboral contemporánea de los graduados. Aunque la formación universitaria sigue siendo un elemento crucial, su adaptación a la realidad laboral actual sugiere cambios en los planes de estudio actuales de las Facultades de Educación.
Aportaciones de la teoría de la emoción construida a la formación inicial docente
Authors: Picazo-Valencia Cristina , García-Campos María Dolores
Published: January 2025

La teoría de la emoción construida destaca la importancia de las experiencias tempranas en la construcción de las emociones, así como en los significados que la persona les atribuye. Desde este planteamiento la escuela se sitúa en un lugar predominante en el desarrollo emocional, se considera que tanto para prevenir posibles desajustes a través de un clima propicio en el aula, como para transformar las emociones que interfieren en el desarrollo y en los aprendizajes. Para fomentar este ajuste emocional desde la escuela es fundamental contar con docentes emocionalmente competentes. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer un marco de entendimiento de la teoría de la emoción construida con el que orientar la formación docente, de cara a promover un cambio de paradigma en las aulas en materia emocional. Para ello, en primer lugar, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión bibliográfica cuyo análisis se presenta a través de las líneas fundamentales de la teoría de la emoción construida y que subrayan la participación activa de la persona en cada una de sus experiencias emocionales. A continuación, estos planteamientos se han analizado desde la perspectiva educativa que, pensados para el ámbito formativo del profesorado, se concretan en preparar al docente para que asuma la responsabilidad de sus propias emociones, desarrolle una comprensión profunda de los procesos que participan en su construcción, cuente con un amplio y preciso lenguaje emocional y sepa reforzar con él determinados procesos emocionales. Preparar a docentes que mantengan el ajuste afectivo en el desempeño profesional no solo contribuirá a su bienestar emocional, sino que este se proyectará en las relaciones que establezca con su alumnado y en el clima que genere en el aula. Por ello, es preciso revisar los fundamentos de los programas de desarrollo emocional del profesorado.
Educación y ejemplaridad: cultivando un corazón educado
Authors: Gomá Lanzón Javier
Published: January 2025

El texto aborda diversos temas relacionados con la educación, la dignidad humana, la democracia deliberativa y el arte desde una perspectiva filosófica y crítica. En primer lugar, se discute la cuestión de si las personas consideradas vulgares pueden crear obras artísticas de calidad. Se menciona que el romanticismo ha promovido la idea de que la sinceridad y la expresividad espontánea reemplazan la virtud en el arte, lo que ha llevado a una conquista de lo vulgar y lo patológico en detrimento de la dignidad humana. La historia de la cultura se describe como una modulación de la dignidad, y se argumenta que las grandes obras de arte no solo deben ser formalmente perfectas, sino también invitar a una vida digna y reconciliar al espectador con la nobleza y la belleza de lo humano.
En el ámbito del arte contemporáneo, se critica que muchas manifestaciones actuales son meras imitaciones del romanticismo sin fuerza vital propia. Se señala que el arte debería presentar los límites constitutivos del individuo y la convivencia bajo una luz favorable, en lugar de perpetuar la expresividad del romanticismo. La ejemplaridad en el arte se ve como un reflejo de la dignidad humana, y se mencionan autores como Tolstói, Goethe y Dostoyevski como ejemplos de quienes, a través de sus obras, invitan a una vida digna.
En cuanto a la democracia liberal, se describe como un sistema deliberativo donde las verdades éticas evolucionan con el tiempo y son susceptibles de crítica y reforma. Se distingue entre verdades escatológicas (últimas) y mundanas (penúltimas), y se aboga por un sano relativismo en la práctica política. La democracia liberal se presenta como el sistema menos imperfecto, basado en la deliberación de verdades potencialmente relativas.
El texto también aborda la importancia de una educación del corazón, en la línea de Platón y Aristóteles, destacando la necesidad de inculcar sentimientos correctos como el pudor y la vergüenza. La educación es vista como un proceso de civilización que debe ir más allá de la obediencia a la autoridad y basarse en el respeto ganado a través del ejercicio ejemplar de la paternidad y la enseñanza.
La ejemplaridad se describe como una fuerza creativa e innovadora, con el caso de Rosa Parks como ejemplo de cómo una acción ejemplar puede cambiar el contexto social. La ejemplaridad, sin embargo, es conflictiva porque desafía las costumbres vigentes y abre juicios en la conciencia de los individuos.
Finalmente, se subraya la importancia de la filosofía en la formación de conceptos como la dignidad, aunque se reconoce que hay un abismo entre las enunciaciones filosóficas abstractas y los casos concretos de la realidad, confiados a la prudencia y al corazón educado. La filosofía puede iluminar y guiar, pero no puede relevar a las personas de sentir, pensar y tomar decisiones en cada situación particular.

Authors: Costa Soares Francisco Leandro , Claudino-Sales Vanda , Oliveira Silva Francisco Diones , Heck Simon Adriano Luis
Published: January 2025

This paper deals with the Urban Geomorphology of the Poti
River in Crateus, at Ceara State, Northeast Brazil. The objective
is to carry out a geographical analysis of the aspects that make
up this study section. The methodology is based on geosystemic
analysis, and the techniques involve bibliographic and
cartographic research and analysis-description in the field. The
main results found were that the Poti River and the City developed
under a very peculiar geological-geomorphological stratum, which
contributed to define the current natural and social landscape
features present in the fluvial plain. The use and occupation
analysis showed that the river course is considerably contaminated
and degraded. Soil sealing, water pollution, silting, the presence
of sub-anormal agglomerations are some situations that indicate
unappropriated use and occupation. It is intended with this
geographic-geomorphological research, to support the recovery and
conservation of this water resource in the context of the city. It
is the first research made in this municipality about its urban
problems, and we expect it to be taken into consideration by the
local government. It is also an improvement in terms of analysis
of the urban environment in countryside Northeast Brazil.

Published: January 2025

The process of peri-urbanization in the context of
globalization has become a global phenomenon. Taking Budapest as a
case study, this study aims to develop a breakpoint clustering
method that combines breakpoint method and spatial clustering to
identify peri-urban areas (PUAs). Landscape metrics were used to
analyze the structure and characteristics of various landscapes
within PUAs. The results indicate that PUAs in Budapest occupy
39.63% of the area, predominantly consisting of artificial
surfaces and agricultural land. In PUAs, artificial surfaces are
the dominant landscape type, water bodies exhibit high aggregation
and strong connectivity, while agricultural areas, forests and
semi-natural areas show high fragmentation. The identification and
landscape analysis of PUAs will provide significant insights for
urban studies and governmental planning.

for Territorial Planning
Authors: Bánhidai András , Valánszki István
Published: January 2025

Humanity needs sustainable solutions for all aspects of
life to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Traditional
territorial planning models also need development to ensure more
nature’s quality and landscape-centered planning process.
Landscape carrying capacity (LCC) methods serve us potential basis
for landscape evaluation based on its extensive literature. This
research presents an approach to LCC based landscape assessment as
an intial step of territorial planning. This article presents an
ecological approached method for simultaneus evaluation of
landscape sensitivity (LSe) and landscape load (LLo) based on
analytical hierarchy process combined with GIS tools. This method
was applied in Keszthely Mountain, a rural landscape, in western
Hungary. The assessment of LSe and also LLo based on five-five
indicators (e.g., Ecosystem Diversity Sensitivity; In-year
Permanently Bare Soil; Landscape Protection Sensitivity;
Artificial Agricultural Land use Load; Linear Fragmentation Load;
Lack of Vegetation). The final LCC composite was provided by a
multi-step evaluation progress. Comparing the LSe composite to LLo
composite showed the marginal areas of Keszthely Mountain are
maximum or over loaded. The central area of Mountain is generally
more loadable despite some existing loads such as infrastructure
or mines. LCC evaluations should assess the main impact factors of
landscape. However, potential developing points are the
assessments of more specific fastors (e.g., extremities of
climatic conditions, landscape suitability). Comparing the
sustainable land use plan (or its scenarios) with local
socio-economic needs and plans should be the second step of
territorial planning. The evaluation and the sustainable land use
plan provide more rationalised possibilities for socio-economic
needs make more sustainable decisions, plans and strategies.

An investigation of sport sciences faculty students’ emotional distance towards individuals with disabilities
Authors: Yılmaz Atike , Baba Kaya Hande , Şükran Öz Ayşegül
Published: January 2025

Our knowledge of what we see as the "other" is often very superficial and one-sided. The marginalized individuals who cannot benefit from the rights enjoyed by their peers experience problems. Individuals with disabilities (IWD) are one of the most affected groups by the problem of marginalization in societies. In this context; this study was conducted to examine the emotional distance of the students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences towards the IWD according to various demographic variables. The research was designed in the general scanning model, which is one of the descriptive research methods. 747 students from six universities in the Eastern Anatolia Region voluntarily participated in research. A personal information form created by the researchers and the Emotional Distance Scale developed by Yılmaz (2018) were used as data collection tools. As a result of the data analysis, it was seen that there were significant differences in the sub-dimensions according to the variables of age, gender, university, department, having an IWD in the family, and being a sports trainer for an IWD. According to the sports branch variable, no significant difference was found in the sub-dimensions. The study results suggest that both PK-12 and college education curriculum should not only include components that will increase positive attitude and awareness towards IWD but also contain activities providing students with first-hand communication and interaction experiences with IWDs.
Unveiling nature's worth: Embracing social valuation in ecosystem services assessment
Authors: Chand Harish Bahadur , Singh Sanjay , Kumar Abhishek , Kewat Anil Kumar , Sharma Sushant , Prabhakar Aman
Published: January 2025

The concept of ecosystem services (ES), which highlights the direct and indirect benefits ecosystems provide to human well-being, has gained prominence in science and policy over the last few decades. This opinion article emphasizes the importance of social valuation in ES assessment, particularly in developing countries where communities rely heavily on natural resources. While economic valuation dominates ES assessments due to its ease in communication with policymakers and business sectors, it often overlooks non-monetary values such as cultural, spiritual and ethical dimensions. Social valuation captures these broader values, fostering community engagement and recognizing diverse perspectives. By integrating social values into ES assessments, decision-making becomes more equitable and inclusive, promoting sustainable management practices that align environmental conservation with socioeconomic development. This article advocates for the widespread adoption of social valuation to enhance the understanding of human-nature relationships and improve policy outcomes for sustainable resource management.
Analysis of lean manufacturing waste in the process flow of ready-to-wear garment production in Nigeria
Authors: Akinmoye Oluwambe
Published: January 2025

The cluster of small- and medium-scale garment industries in Aba and Onitsha positioned Nigeria to meet her garment needs. Regrettably, the production process is encumbered with manufacturing waste, which hinders competitiveness with their international counterparts. This study identified manufacturing waste in the garment production process in the garment industries in Aba and Onitsha with the view of improving the production performance. A survey research design with the use of a closed-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. In total, 372 questionnaires were administered, and 324 were completed and returned, representing 87% response rate. Descriptive statistics such as mean weighted scores was used to analyze the data for this study with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 16. The result of the investigation revealed that unnecessary motion, overprocessing, inventory, waiting, and defects constitute major lean manufacturing wastes in the garment production process. Therefore, concerted efforts must be intensified by the garment industry to eliminate the identified waste with a view of ensuring the garments are competitive with foreign garments.
Large-scale production of highly responsive, stretchable, and conductive wrapped yarns for wearable strain sensors
Authors: Wang Linyu , Mao Lei , Wei Wei , Kong Lanlan , Zong Kuikui , Xia Chenying
Published: January 2025

Stretchable conductive yarns have received crucial attention in the direction of wearable electronics. Integration of ordinary yarns with conductive phase endows additional functions such as strain sensing. Herein, highly responsive, stretchable, conductive wrapped yarns with different wrapping densities were prepared, using elastane filament as core, co-wrapped with silver-plated nylon filament (SPNF) and polyester filament. It was found that a wrapping density of 750 T·m−1 was an optimal alternative, taking into account tensile and elastic-related properties, keeping the elastane draw ratio constant. By virtue of the helical-interlaced structure and spiral configuration of wrapping components, the optimized yarn can bear up to nearly 200% strain and exhibit larger-strain cyclic robustness. By incorporating SPNF into the wrapped yarn, it can serve as a stretchable conductor, and it is also able to precisely detect body motion (e.g. finger bending) with high responsiveness (shorter response time). Such functional yarns hold tremendous prospects for wearable electronics.
Characteristics and control techniques of soft rock tunnel lining cracks in high geo-stress environments: Case study of Wushaoling tunnel group
Authors: Han Jianyong , Liu Dong , Zhang Shengze , Chen Yang , Zhang Yongzhong , Zhao Lijun , He Caishan , Zhao Mingcheng
Published: January 2025

A high geo-stress environment severely damages tunnel structures owing to the large deformation of the surrounding rock, thereby threatening their safety. In this study, the Wushaoling highway tunnel group, which passes through a high geo-stress environment, is investigated as a case study. The spatial distribution of different types of tunnel cracks is analyzed based on the site observations. The lining crack variations, such as circumferential and longitudinal cracks, with the factors including grade of the surrounding rock, location of buried depth, and design type of the tunnel lining are investigated. Various structural reinforcement technologies are presented based on the damage degrees of the tunnel linings. Several finite element models of supporting structures are established to reveal the mechanism of tunnel crack control technology. The results show that longitudinal and circumferential cracks are the main characteristics of tunnel lining damage in high geo-stress environments, accounting for approximately 29.4 and 53.2% of the total cracks, respectively. SIVb-, SVc-, and SVd-type linings show numerous longitudinal cracks per kilometer. The longitudinal cracks appear primarily on the tunnel crown and hance. In terms of the lining support types in Grade V surrounding rocks, the number of longitudinal cracks per kilometer increases with the lining grade. The number of tunnel cracks per kilometer tends to increase with the buried depth. Four tunnel structure reinforcement treatment measurements for lining cracks in high geo-stress condition were innovatively proposed, which were proved effective in deformation controlling and strengthening the tunnel lining using numerical investigation. The key contribution of this research is to reveal the characteristics and evolution mechanism of tunnel lining cracks in high geo-stress condition, and provide effective treatments for the tunnel lining cracks. In addition, the findings from the study on the tunnel lining cracks also provide industry practitioners with a comprehensive guide regarding the characteristics and control techniques of the tunnel lining cracks, which can serve as a steppingstone to facilitate the construction technology development of the transportation industry.

This study commences by delving into B-spline curves, their essential properties, and their practical implementations in the real world. It also examines the role of knot vectors, control points, and de Boor’s algorithm in creating an elegant and seamless curve. Beginning with an overview of B-spline curve theory, we delve into the necessary properties that make these curves unique. We explore their local control, smoothness, and versatility, making them well-suited for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, we examine some basic applications of B-spline curves, from designing elegant automotive curves to animating lifelike characters in the entertainment industry, making a significant impact. Utilizing the de Boor algorithm, we intricately shape the contours of everyday essentials by applying a series of control points in combination with a B-spline curve. In addition, we offer valuable insights into the diverse applications of B-spline curves in computer graphics, toy design, the electronics industry, architecture, manufacturing, and various engineering sectors. We highlight their practical utility in manipulating the shape and behavior of the curve, serving as a bridge between theory and application.
Linguistic explication of rational and irrational knowledge types in the content of toponyms (on the material of the linguocultural dictionary)
Authors: Rysbergen Kyzdarkhan , Uali Nurgeldy , Fazylzhanova Anar , Kuderinova Kuralay
Published: January 2025

The processes of objectification of rational and irrational types of knowledge in the cultural semantics of toponyms as a product of the mental activity of the subject (individual and ethnolinguistic collective) are considered. The analysis is carried out on the material of toponyms that involve colour values, numerals and phytonyms, mythonyms, etc. The rational type of knowledge contains rich empirical information with diverse cultural semantics. The irrational type of knowledge represents mythological, esoteric, animistic, religious ideas, superstitions, customs, and various folk beliefs with profound ethnosemantics. In rational knowledge, various aspects of the economic and practical life of nomads in the development of the surrounding reality are detailed. The irrational type of knowledge concentrates on value orientations, stereotypes and prejudices, and moral and ethical norms of the nomadic Kazakh ethnic community in the past, represented in the cultural semantics of the language matrix of folk geographical names. For the first time, the ethnoecological, ethnobotanical knowledge of the Kazakh people is presented in the language matrix of toponyms, in which the emphasis is shifted not to lexical features, but to the cultural aspect, to cultural semantics.

Responsabilidad del Estado por wrongful conception
Authors: Veloz Romo Miguel Ángel
Published: January 2025

La responsabilidad del Estado por la actuación de sus funcionarios, poco a poco se ha ido expandiendo a todos los ámbitos públicos, e inclusive, empieza a considerar actos que trascienden en el proyecto de vida de los gobernados, generando una afectación que se prolonga en el tiempo; en algunos países, se han presentado demandas en contra del Estado por el nacimiento de un hijo que no se deseaba tener, cuando su nacimiento deriva de una actuación médica deficiente en un proceso de esterilización, anticoncepción o interrupción voluntaria del embarazo, surgiendo lo que se ha denominado wrongful conception . El presente trabajo tiene como finalidad analizar si en México, con base en los parámetros establecidos en la Constitución y leyes reglamentarias para la responsabilidad patrimonial del Estado, obtener una indemnización por wrongful conception, partiendo del supuesto de la existencia de una deficiente prestación del servicio médico, que vulnera entre otros derechos humanos, el libre desarrollo de la personalidad, al afectar la libertad reproductiva.

Nacimiento de la prisión como una suerte de acción recordatoria a 40 años de su muerte, en ella analizamos cómo esta obra que se ha venido considerando primero, justamente un recorrido histórico de la evolución de las prisiones, y después, a lo largo del tiempo como un texto digno de análisis desde la microfísica del poder, el uso del cuerpo humano por el estado para el flagelo y la mutilación como escarmiento y después, cuando se “humanizó” el derecho penal, para martirizar la mente, el alma. Del mismo modo que como un mecanismo de control social y de ejemplaridad frente a lo que se ha dado en llamar la desadaptación social.

Angiosarcoma is an extremely uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm overall and moreso in female genital organs such as the ovary. Diagnosing primary ovarian angiosarcoma remains challenging on clinical grounds due to the absence of specific clinical symptoms as well as on histopathological analysis especially in poorly differentiated subtypes due to non-specific and overlapping morphologic features. Misdiagnosis in such scenarios can be devastating as this tumor is clinically very aggressive. We describe a case of primary ovarian angiosarcoma in a 33-year-old multiparous female with bilateral ovarian masses and metastasis at diagnosis. Histopathologic appraisal revealed a poorly differentiated malignant tumor with varied differential diagnoses. The saviour in such a scenario was the immunohistochemistry findings, underlining the incredible utility of this technique in the precise diagnosis and evasion of misdiagnosis. This case accentuates the paramount importance of precise diagnostic modalities in shaping clinical practice and enriching the scientific understanding of rare and aggressive neoplasms. Against this backdrop, the potential pitfalls and pearls while dealing with this entity have been elucidated, along with a review of the recent literature.
Community needs-based prioritization of landscape restoration technologies in Basona-Worena and Doyo-Gena Woredas, Ethiopia

Published: January 2025

Land degradation in Ethiopia is a pressing issue that demands immediate attention. Although various sustainable land management options have been introduced through top-down approaches, farmers have shown low adoption rates. The objective of this research was to assess the community prioritization of landscape restoration technologies and the appropriation of ecosystem services in the Basona-Worena and Doyo-Gena woredas of Ethiopia. The evaluation of land management option tool was used to survey farmers' preferences and compare different land management options based on input, cost, perceived advantages, and potential drawbacks.Data from 64 participants revealed that farmers were interested in a wide range of benefits. However, their top three preferences were increased food supply, enhanced soil fertility, and improved water supply. The study emphasized the need for site-specific land management measures. Farmers in Basona-Worena favored terrace and bund practices, while farmers in Doyo-Gena preferred exclosure and agroforestry practices. Conversely, the propensity of terracing to attract rodents and pests, the lengthy time takes to see results from bunding, and the cost of gabions were among the shortcomings that farmers identify in conservation techniques. Terracing was the first option for supplying fundamental ecosystem services in both locations, followed by biological measures, water percolation pits, and bunds. All farmers ranked the business-as-usual option as their least preferred option because they perceived it to have limited potential for yielding desired benefits. These findings provide a robust model for informed decision-making on suitable restoration technologies, holding promise for landscape restoration initiatives in Ethiopia and similar locations worldwide.

Published: January 2025

Erosion and sedimentation resulting from land use changes can negatively impact watershed quality and threaten sustainability. Watershed quality is particularly crucial in areas designated for energy sector development, such as Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). One potential NPP site in Indonesia is located downstream of the Raya watershed, where high river sedimentation may affect its performance. This study aimed to determine the spatial pattern of mean annual sediment yield in the Raya watershed using hydrological models. Due to the limited availability of data, secondary data analysis was employed, utilizing a geospatial hydrological modeling approach with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The Hydrological Response Unit (HRU) was used as an analytical unit to identify physio-geographic similarities based on land use, soil type, and slope, which serve as dynamic hydrological controls. The results reveal the hydrological characteristics of the Raya watershed: an elongated shape, a dendritic river network, and moderate drainage density. The average slope is 12.6%, with a clay-loam soil texture and land cover dominated by dryland forests, oil palm plantations, and mining activities. The SWAT model produced an average sediment yield of 251.7 t/ha/year over a 10-year simulation period, classified as high sedimentation. High to very high sedimentation was predominantly found in the upstream areas, moderate sedimentation at the foothills, and low sedimentation in the alluvial plains downstream. These findings indicate a decline in land quality in the Raya watershed, highlighting the need for conservation measures to ensure the sustainability of the watershed ecosystem.
Evaluation of the quality and suitability of groundwater for agricultural and drinking purposes in the Koraiyar River basin, Tamil Nadu, India
Authors: Moorthy S Sundara , Raj N Jawahar
Published: January 2025

In the Koraiyar basin, located within the districts of Tiruchirappalli and Pudukkottai in Tamil Nadu, India, groundwater samples were investigated to evaluate their quality and appropriateness for both drinking and agricultural purposes. Groundwater is a dynamic source for sustaining human life and various activities; however, its overuse and deteriorating quality pose significant challenges. Groundwater faces threats from various factors, including climate change, changes in land use, and population growth, all of which impact both the quantity and quality of available groundwater. Salinity exerts a substantial influence on various parameters, as indicated by the strong correlation between electrical conductivity (EC) and many other factors. It is inferred that pre-monsoon samples exhibit slightly lower quality compared to post-monsoon samples, although they remain suitable for drinking, with only a few exceptions. Most of the samples are safe to drink and use in agriculture because they are within allowable levels. Total dissolved solids (TDS) and total hardness (TH) data show that the groundwater samples are mostly of the pre-monsoon hard to extremely hard type. The Gibbs plot's evaporation zone contains samples, indicating that surface activities like agricultural runoff and other human-induced variables like home sewage dumping can contaminate groundwater. With the exception of samples showing average salinity and high sodium concentrations, all other samples are suitable for irrigation across various soil types.
Landscape design for gully erosion control on the upper slopes of Mount Sumbing, Central Java, Indonesia
Authors: Maulana Edwin , Sartohadi Junun , Setiawan Muhammad Anggri
Published: January 2025

Gully erosion can cause significant soil loss; thus, it must be controlled. This study aimed to develop a landscape design for controlling gully erosion in a volcanic environment with a thin soil layer. The primary data used was Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data combined with field surveys and in-depth interviews. A collaborative approach was used to develop the landscape design to minimize the impact of gully erosion. The finding showed that gully erosion had entered adult to old age since the scars (incisions) at the gully bottom existed. According to the community, gullies must be controlled, although they do not affect land productivity. Vegetative control is the most favored method of gully erosion control. Local vegetation with the potential for additional value is chosen to control gully erosion. Strengthening community capacity is the most favorable way to manage gullies. Through good understanding, local communities can control the development of gullies. Further strengthening of regulations related to gully erosion control will have a domino effect on land sustainability. This finding can be extrapolated globally to locations with similar land characteristics.
Liquid gold: assessing groundwater quality at the historic Kolar gold fields, Karnataka, India

To access the ecological sustainability and resilience, it is necessary to periodically examine various ecological properties in areas with high pollution and contaminant risks. Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) in Kolar, Karnataka, showcases one amongst the India's most contaminated zones because of the extensive gold mining and their lingering effects. In KGF, quality of ground water has severely reduced as there exist extensive mining tailings, locally referred as cyanide dumps, which have been neglected for several preceding years without proper disposal strategies. The current approach focuses on the water pollution caused by heavy metal deposits in the KGF region. Groundwater samples were  sampled from Oorgam, an abandoned region in KGF, and subsequently filtered for water quality examinations. The investigation  documented concentrations of several metals, including cadmium (0.068 ± 0.0024 ppm), lead (0.288 ± 0.0016 ppm), nickel (0.058 ± 0.0047 ppm), and chromium (0.23 ± 0.0235 ppm) and have met the standard specifications in accordance with World Health Organization (WHO). Prominent pH disparity was documented  amongst the experimental samples, with a detectable  pH drop in the aqua-purified water on comparison  to the positive control. The test results imply that the water samples collected  from KGF remains unpotable for consumption or irrigation due  the persistence of high levels of heavy metals concentration. This study underscores the urgent requisite for remedial approach  to ensure water safety for drinking  and irrigation in the area.

The frequency ratio (FR) model is employed for the landslide susceptibility analysis of Iruvazhinji watershed of Chaliyar river basin, central Kerala. For the present study, slope, slope aspect, slope curvature, elevation, Slope Forming Material (SFM), drainage density, distance from river, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), Land Use/Land Cover (LULC), and Normalised Vegetation Index (NDVI) have been considered as landslide causative factors. The spatial relationship between these factors and landslide occurrences in the study area was examined, and the results showed that SFM, elevation, and slope angle have a significant control over landslide occurrence. Using the FR algorithm, we generated a Landslide Susceptibility Map (LSM) and zonal categorization of the study area into low, moderate, high, and very high susceptibility zones. Most of these areas are classified as either high or very high susceptibility zones, reflecting a higher potential for landsliding in the study area. The validation of the susceptibility map was carried out via calculation of the Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, which points to a high level of landslide susceptibility model accuracy. The findings of this study help in land use planning, hazard mitigation, and disaster risk in vulnerable landslides, as well as support in improving resistance measures against disaster management due to landslides.

Lake Toba is one of the prioritized conservation lakes in Indonesia, crucial for domestic needs, tourism, fisheries, agriculture, and power generation. However, Lake Toba’s water levels and discharge have declined in recent decades. This study aimed to enhance water recharge and the water level of Lake Toba through hydrological modeling using the SWAT analysis and regional and specific conservation measures. The SWAT analysis utilized input data, including climate, soil, geomorphology, land use, and hydrology, to generate both existing and post-conservation water balance models. Conservation methods were categorized into civil engineering and vegetative approaches. Vegetative conservation techniques included agroforestry and MPTS (Multi-Purpose Tree Species), while civil engineering methods encompassed terracing, trenching, and infiltration wells. Regional conservation focused on land use plant types, while specific conservation involved detailed classification of the Lake Toba watershed by slope class, plant type, and land use. The analysis revealed significant land use changes in the Lake Toba catchment area, with dry fields increasing from 72,961 ha to 125,000 ha, a decrease in water level from 905 to 903 m above sea level, and a reduction in discharge from 180 m³/s to 125 m³/s. SWAT analysis shows that the existing inflow to Lake Toba is 131 m³/s (with 78% accuracy), with potential increases to 250 m³/s due to regional conservation and 180 m³/s due to specific conservation. Conservation efforts have also improved discharge rates across 39 sub-watersheds of Lake Toba, both monthly and annually.

Tangerines (Citrus reticulata var. Tejakula) were destroyed in 1984 by CVPD, allegedly because the use of chemicals was too intensive, resulting in land degradation. Since ten years ago, these oranges have been successfully cultivated again using healthy organic cultivation, but farmers have difficulty getting organic fertilizer. This research aimed to identify and isolate the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on tangerines cv. Tejakula, their colonization of the roots and effect on soil fertility. Exploration was conducted by collecting root and soil samples in tangerine cv. Tejakula production centers are in the Tejakula District, Buleleng Regency. Spore isolation was conducted using wet filtration and centrifugation techniques, while root colonization by AMF was carried out using the staining method with trypan blue. The isolated spores are composited into AMF biofertilizer using volcanic sand as a carrier medium. The biofertilizer was then tested for its effect on soil fertility with three treatment levels of AMF spore doses (0, 20, and 40 spores/50 g of carrier media per plant). The results of exploration, isolation, and identification showed that three genera and six species of AMF were found. The spore density ranged from 17 to 32 per 100 g of soil (mean 24.17 ± 2.02 spores). The average root colonization by AMF was very high, ranging from 90 to 100%, and the application of AMF biofertilizer at a dose of 20 and 40 spores per plant provided soil fertility was much better than the control (0 AMF spores per plant).
Soil magnetic susceptibility analysis as an indicator of landslide-prone areas in Sanggau Regency, West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia

Published: January 2025

Sanggau Regency is a highland area that has a rough topography with a relief of undulating hills, causing the potential for landslides. One of the steps to reduce the impact of landslides is to identify the characteristics of landslide-prone areas by conducting magnetic susceptibility analysis in landslide-prone areas. This analysis is a method to identify landslide indicators based on their magnetic properties. This method identifies landslide potential through superparamagnetic grains on the surface soil. The presence of the grain can be known from the frequency-dependent susceptibility . The study was conducted on 40 soil samples taken at a 20-30 cm depth at Jalan Sabang Merah, Sanggau Regency. The results showed that the average values of low-frequency  and high-frequency  were 5.555 cm3/g and 5.478 cm3/g, respectively. A total of 36 soil samples have a  percentage of 0% (containing less than 10% superparamagnetic grains), two soil samples have a  percentage of 3.51% and 6.45%, respectively (containing 10%-75% superparamagnetic grains, and two samples have a  percentage of 10.48%-12.63% (containing more than 75% superparamagnetic grains). The interpretation results show that soil samples with more than 75% superparamagnetic grains indicate landslide-prone areas in the study site; thus, the areas suspected to have a high level of vulnerability are in the northeastern and southwestern parts of the study site.
