Authors: Oyelade O. V. , Ihuma J. O. , Dinesh Govindaraj Kamalam , Raveena Ravi
Published: December 2024

Energy crises resulting from the depletion of petroleum resources, hikes in
the price of fossil fuel, and unpredictable climate change are some of the recent
concerns that have provoked serious research on alternative energy sources that would
be sustainable. This book chapter reviews how sustainable bioenergy production
through microbes using feedstocks can provide clean and green energy that can
consequently facilitate ecosystem restoration. Feedstocks are pivotal to this
biotechnological process. Microbes are also equally very vital. Therefore, changing
from fossil fuel to bioenergy resource options is essential. Energy transition can,
therefore, create emerging opportunities in bioenergy rendering and bioeconomy that
will result in the possible use of clean and green energy. In this regard, biofuels are a
straightforward substitute for fossil fuels. Renewable feedstocks are suitable
ingredients that sustainably produce biofuels using microbial-based bioconversion
processes. Microorganisms can massively secrete industrially important enzymes
capable of degrading long-chained biopolymers into short-chained monomeric sugars
and fermenting them into energy-dense biomolecules. Microbes play a crucial role in the sustainable generation of biofuels and bioenergy. Bioenergy research is, therefore,
crucial for a nation's economic stability and energy security. Additionally, reducing
greenhouse gas emissions while promoting the use of renewable energies and the
creation of livelihoods aids in the worldwide effort. Anthropogenic activities are highly
reduced, thereby enhancing ecosystem restoration.

Published: December 2024

Marine environments are among the most unfavorable due to salinity, pH,
sea surface temperature, wind patterns, ocean currents, and precipitation regimes. Due
to the frequent changes in environmental conditions, the microorganisms that live there
are better suited to adjusting to unfavorable conditions, which is why they have
complex characteristic qualities of adaptation. Consequently, by forming biofilms and
producing extracellular polymeric substances, the microorganisms isolated from marine
habitats are intended to be better exploited in the bioremediation of soils and water
bodies contaminated with toxic pollutants. Many marine bacteria have also been
reported to produce bioactive compounds, which found their use in many
biotechnological applications. This chapter explores marine microbial diversity, its
utilization in bioremediation, and understanding their role in ecosystem sustainability.
Role of Microbes and Microbiomes in Human and Animal Health Security
Authors: Pradyutha A. Ch. , Kumari S. Chaitanya
Published: December 2024

Most of the various categories of bacteria and fungi that comprise the human
microbiota are primarily incapable of causing diseases. Human beings and animal
microbiomes can influence their health and homeostasis through the synthesis of
necessary nutrients and vitamins, metabolism of drugs, guarding against pathogenic
microbes, additional production of bile acids from the host, immune response,
vulnerability to illness, and consistent behavior change. Animal species harbor
distinctive microbiomes and possess greater complexity compared to the human
microbiome. Living organisms are somewhat exposed to microbes in the newborn
stage, at the time of delivery from the birth passage or vagina, and through
breastfeeding. The kind of microbes the infant carries relies exclusively on the species
seen in the mother. Further, changes in the microbiota of animals and humans depend
on exposure to the environment and type of diet. This change can help benefit the
health of the host or put one at a more significant chance for disease. This
transformation of the microbiome in earlier life holds possible health importance to
developing the immune system, influencing health effects including gastroenteritis,
asthma, hay fever (allergic rhinitis), and chronic illnesses like diabetes. In addition to
the genes of the family, surroundings, medication use, and diet greatly determine what
microbiota is present in animals and humans. All of these aspects construct a particular
microbiome from individual to individual. An adult living being is colonized by
multiple species of bacteria. The total biomass of these microorganisms is typically
estimated at around 0.2 kg in adults. The microbiomes present in human and animal
bodies serve several functions. They contribute to the breakdown of food, allowing for
the digestion of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and other substances that our bodies
cannot process alone. Additionally, these microbiomes produce essential nutrients that
are made available to us. They also play a vital role in neutralizing toxins or harmful
compounds, promoting detoxification, and safeguarding our well-being. Using
microorganisms in therapies is one of the clinical revolutions in the 21st century.
Numerous research studies have revealed the crucial functions of microbes and
microbiomes in human and animal health security.
Reforestation tax incentive impacts on financial returns of loblolly pine plantations for family forest landowners in Mississippi
Authors: VanderSchaaf Curtis , Li Yanshu
Published: December 2024

Rates of return from forest plantation investments depend not only on survival and growth rates, but also costs and revenues associated with various practices.  Beyond that, tax related issues are another important consideration that are often not addressed, or directly addressed at least, in forest financial assessments.  Many financial assessments can be defined as “before-tax.”  Forest landowners within Mississippi have the potential to reduce reforestation cost burdens through two important tax-related opportunities.  The first being the Federal reforestation deduction and amortization provisions and the second being the state-based reforestation tax credit.  An overabundant supply of wood in Mississippi has resulted in fairly poor pine market conditions, particularly for pulpwood stumpage.  This has resulted in the likelihood of marginal returns for many landowners without some type of assistance.  Beyond that, substantial inflation and increases in fuel costs have resulted in greater reforestation costs plus additional reductions in stumpage values, among other reasons, because of greater costs for loggers during forest harvesting operations.     
The impacts of these two income tax reduction opportunities on loblolly pine financial returns were examined for three planting densities of 1,122 and 1,282 and 1,495 seedlings ha-1 for a site index 19.8 m site (base age 25).  A combination of chemical and mechanical site preparation was conducted and mass control pollinated (MCP) bareroot seedlings were hand-planted.  Varying degrees of rectangularity were assumed, reducing reforestation costs.  A first-year herbaceous weed control treatment was implemented but no thinnings and fertilization treatments were conducted.  A final harvest clearcut was conducted at age 26.  For Federal income tax purposes, a landowner classified as an Investor within the 22% Federal income tax bracket was assumed.  Whether before-tax or after-tax, the most viable planting density financially was found to be 1,122 ha-1 seedlings.  Reduced reforestation costs and greater yields ha-1 of the more valuable sawlog product class were found to be more influential on landowner financial returns than any reforestation tax provisions.

This study was conducted in Malang, Indonesia, to assess the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility of Pasteurella multocida in cattle exhibiting clinical signs of respiratory disease. Nasal and tracheal swabs were collected from 50 cattle across multiple farms and tested for P. multocida. The isolates were identified through colony morphology, Gram staining, and biochemical tests, with 4 out of 50 samples (8%) testing positive for P. multocida. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined using the disk diffusion method, involving seven antibiotics commonly used in veterinary practice. Results showed that 75% of the isolates were sensitive to ceftriaxone, while amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was effective in 50% of cases. However, all isolates demonstrated resistance to erythromycin and tetracycline. These findings emphasize the importance of susceptibility testing to guide appropriate antibiotic therapy and prevent the development of resistance. Further research is necessary to monitor resistance patterns and improve treatment strategies for pasteurellosis in cattle.

Barriers and Facilitators to User Engagement and Moderation for Web-Based Peer Support Among Young People: Qualitative Study Using the Behavior Change Wheel Framework
Authors: Ananya Ananya , Tuuli Janina , Perowne Rachel , Gutman Leslie Morrison
Published: December 2024

Background

Peer support groups or web-based chats for young people offer anonymous peer support in judgment-free spaces, where users may share their thoughts and feelings with others who may have experienced similar situations. User engagement is crucial for effective web-based peer support; however, levels of engagement vary. While moderation of peer support groups can have a positive impact on the engagement of young people, effective moderation can be challenging to implement.

Objective

This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to user engagement with, and moderation of, web-based peer support groups among young people aged 16 to 25 years and to provide recommendations for enhancing this service.

Methods

Drawing upon the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Behavior Change Wheel (BCW), this study conducted qualitative interviews and gathered open-ended questionnaires from service users and moderators of The Mix, the United Kingdom’s leading web-based mental health platform providing peer support groups for young people. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 2 service users and 8 moderators, and open-ended questionnaires were completed by 7 service users. Themes were coded using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior (COM-B) model and the TDF. The BCW tools were then used to identify relevant behavior change techniques to improve user engagement in, and moderation of, the service.

Results

Thematic analysis revealed a total of 20 inductive themes within 10 TDF domains—9 (45%) for engagement and 11 (55%) for moderation. Of these 20 themes, 3 (15%) were facilitators of engagement, 7 (35%) were facilitators of moderation, 4 (20%) were barriers to moderation, and 6 (30%) barriers to engagement. Results suggest that skills, knowledge, beliefs about consequences, intentions, emotions, and the social and physical environment are important factors influencing service users and moderators of group chats. In particular, supporting the improvement of memory, attention, and decision-making skills of those involved; adapting the physical environment to facilitate effective interactions; and reducing negative emotions are suggested to optimize the value and effectiveness of peer support groups for young people’s mental health for both the service users and moderators of these services.

Conclusions

The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the BCW approach and the use of the TDF and COM-B model to understand the influences on behavior in a systematic manner, especially for mental health and well-being interventions. The findings can be applied to design structured interventions to change behaviors related to the engagement with, and moderation of, web-based peer support groups and, in turn, improve mental health outcomes for young people.

Published: December 2024

The yidRv gene, isolated from the hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKP), is a novel gene with an unknown function; however, it has exhibited high homology to the yidR, a gene recognized as potential vaccine candidate. The aim of this study was to clone the yidRv gene from the Indonesian hvKP and to investigate its overexpression in Escherichia coli. In the experiment, yidRv was cloned into pET21 to construct pYik23. Recombinant protein YidRv was produced by growing E. coli BL21 (DE3)/pYik23 in LB medium with ampicillin at 29 °C, inducing protein synthesis with 0.5 mM IPTG for 20 hours. Purification was performed using Ni‐NTA resin, and the purified protein (50 µg) was administered to BALB/c mice to test for the production of IgG, IgM and IgA on 2 days before and day 19th and 37th after the first vaccination. The results show a significant induction of IgG and IgM, but not of IgA antibodies. In conclusion, the yidRv gene was overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) at high levels in soluble form, with the recombinant protein able to be purified to 90% homogeneity. The recombinant YidRv demonstrated the ability to stimulate the generation of both IgM and IgG antibodies.

Published: December 2024

Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (SAR) is inflammation in the oral mucosa. One of the factors that can cause SAR is bacterial and fungal infections of the oral mucosa. Clove oil is an essential oil that contains eugenol and has antimicrobial, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities. Clove oil in this study resulted from steam distillation with an eugenol content of 71.06%. Clove oil as an antimicrobial topical requires a drug delivery system that is easy and comfortable to apply. Laponite is a synthetic hydrophilic layered silicate that can hydrate and expand when water is added, is compatible with the properties of active ingredients, and is without an emulsifier. Please state the objective of this research. This research aims to determine the effect of variations in the concentration of clove oil incorporated in laponite on the gel's physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity. Laponite with a concentration of 2.5% was developed in water and then added to clove oil with a concentration of 2%, 4% and 6%. Physicochemical properties test of oral gel preparations includes organoleptic tests, homogeneity, pH, adhesion, and spreadability tests. Antimicrobial activity test to Streptococcus mutans bacteria and Candida albicans fungi. The research showed that a gel preparation using laponite with a concentration of 2.5% was semi-solid with a clove oil odor. Clove oil, with an eugenol content of 71.06%, has potent antimicrobial activity. The higher concentration of clove oil increases the viscosity and sticky time but decreases the pH and spreadability. The adhesive time and pH of the gel are suitable for application to the oral mucosa with mouth ulcers, and 2.5% laponite can form a gel preparation that meets the gel's physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity.

Published: December 2024

Solar panels have relatively low efficiency, but their performance can be enhanced by a tracking system directing the panels perpendicular to the light source and adding reflectors to capture more sunlight. The dual-axis solar tracking method, using two linear actuators and optimized by fuzzy logic, efficiently positions solar panels for maximum sunlight exposure. This research aimed to improve the overall efficiency of solar panels by integrating reflectors with a dual-axis solar tracking system optimized by fuzzy logic. Specifically, this research tested various reflectors to determine the most significant efficiency improvement. This research consisted of two tests: a tracking test and a reflector test using a halogen lamp. The tracking test was conducted by positioning the light in four different positions. The light sensor data were obtained before and after the solar tracking, indicating that the tracking was successful. All these tests were conducted with the light source radiation of 1,168 W/m2. This research concluded that the tracking system effectively positioned the solar panels toward the light source, with the tracking time ranging from 12 to 16 s, depending on the position. Aluminum foil is the most cost-effective reflector, priced at IDR5,341 per 1% increase in efficiency, compared to mirrors at IDR20,204 per 1% and reflective tape at IDR48,034 per 1%. In conclusion, the integration of aluminum foil reflectors and a dual-axis solar tracking system, optimized by fuzzy logic, significantly improves the efficiency of solar panels, which is both cost-effective and efficient.

Authors: Lucia Nugraheni Harnaningrum  , Kristoforus Nanda Mahardhian
Published: December 2024

Mobile device transactions have become commonplace today. Quick-response (QR) codes and near-field communication (NFC) are popular cashless and contactless payment methods. These two payments have their characteristics. NFC payments use secure elements that encrypt credential data to ensure safe transactions. In contrast, QR code payments transmit data in its original form without encryption. Existing data are sent between devices in the form of original data. Given the extensive adoption of these methods, it is imperative to secure transaction data to prevent theft and misuse. It is necessary to know and compare the security level of each transaction and provide the best recommendations. This study undertook a comparative analysis of the security and performance of NFC and QR code-based mobile payment models. The study found that NFC transactions required 1,074 ms for encryption, while QR code transactions took 5.9359 ms. The entropy value, indicating data randomness, was 3.96 for NFC and 3.23 for QR codes. The P value, representing statistical significance, was 0.45 for NFC and 0.069 for QR codes. Both payment methods demonstrated acceptable levels of safety, with processing times and data randomness within satisfactory ranges. However, the analysis concludes that NFC transactions offer superior performance in terms of processing time and data security compared to QR code transactions.

Published: December 2024

Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized AI-integrated applications, along with enabling advanced
language processing and facilitating user interaction across various sectors. However, the widespread integration of LLMs and
reliance on them in sensitive and high-stakes domains has also introduced vulnerabilities, particularly through prompt-based
attacks. These attacks enable malicious actors to exploit prompt vulnerabilities, manipulating LLM responses and compromising
data integrity, user trust, and application reliability. This research explores the critical need to secure LLMs against prompt
bypass attacks, exploring various defensive techniques that enhance model resilience. This study presents ten distinct defense
mechanisms and each approach addresses specific aspects of prompt security, contributing to a robust multi-layered framework
designed to counteract diverse attack vectors. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research, including
adaptive learning models, real-time security updates, and ethical considerations in AI security. By advancing prompt bypass
defense mechanisms, this work aims to provide practical guidelines for strengthening AI applications and safeguarding users
against potential threats.

Authors: Siekiera Natalia , Białek Arkadiusz
Published: December 2024

This study examines children’s cooperation within the Yurakare community of Bolivia, focusing on joint action among three children. It employs a two-time scale approach, analyzing macro-level cultural activities over the course of weeks and micro-level interactions on the level of seconds. Findings reveal that cooperation among children is characterized by minimal verbal communication and a significant reliance on nonverbal channels in facilitating collaboration. Leadership behaviors, exhibited by older children, complement group dynamics. The study advocates for a processual perspective on child development, emphasizing the importance of observational methods and descriptive analysis.

This research aims to provide an understanding of community participation-based waste management in Gurabesi Village, Jayapura Utara District, Jayapura City. The main focus is to identify regulations related to waste management, community participation mechanisms, and factors that influence such participation. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative, which aims to describe the phenomena that occur at the research location using socio-juridical analysis. Data collection techniques include interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques. The results showed that one form of community participation in environmental improvement efforts is by donating labor through direct participation. The community also holds meetings to participate directly in waste management. At the RT level, participation tends to be direct, while at the RW level it is more indirect. Based on Arnstein's categories, the level of community participation in Gurabesi Village can be classified at the Informing/Providing Information level. This level of participation is influenced by length of residence, where the longer residents live, the stronger their psychological ties to the environment.This research shows that community-based waste management in Gurabesi Village is not yet optimal, despite the participatory efforts of residents. Improved facilities and infrastructure as well as more intensive socialization on waste management are needed so that community participation can increase and waste management becomes more effective.

Bacillus bacteria are bacteria that are tolerant to heavy metal toxicity and are able to reduce heavy metals in the environment by bioaccumulation or bioabsorption. This research aims to determine how resistant Bacillus sp. against the heavy metal Fe, the growth curve of Bacillus sp. affected by Fe metal, characteristics of the Krueng Aceh pathogenic bacteria and the antimicrobial activity of Bacillus sp. against pathogenic microbes. This research method is descriptive and experimental. Based on the research results, it is known that Bacillus sp is resistant to Fe metal at concentrations of 2000 ppm and 2500 ppm. Results of measuring the growth curve of Bacillus sp. exposed to Fe metal with a concentration of 3000 ppm entered the lag phase (adaptation) at hour 0. Then the log (exponential) phase starts from the 12th hour to the 30th hour, then the stationary phase starts from the 30th hour to the 42nd hour. The results of the test for the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria showed that there were 14 isolates of pathogenic bacteria, namely 4 genus Klebsiella, 4 genus Enterobacter, and 6 genus Staphylococcus. The results of the antimicrobial activity test for Bacillus sp., which was tested on pathogenic microbes, namely Klebsiella sp., and Staphylococcus sp., had a weak inhibitory category, namely 2.71, 0.51, this shows that Bacillus sp. unable to inhibit these pathogenic microbes.

One way to reduce organic waste is through composting. One composting methodhat can be used is the Mac Donald method which employs an aerobic system to place raw ingredientsn an open box-shaped container. The purpose of this experiment was to observe the object under this study (rice washing water in organic waste composting). Four compost treatments namely P0 (organic garbage and without rice washing water added); P1 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 35 ml); P2 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 45 ml) and P3 (organic garbage and added rice washing water of 55 ml). Temperature measurements at the end of the composting process showed that the temperature in all four containers was 29°C. The pH values obtained met maturity requirements forompost as specified by SNI 19-7030-2004, namely with a minimum value of 6.80 and a maximum of 7.49. The observation results of moisture content at the end of composting in the four containers were 40%. The best results were shown in the variation of P2 (by added rice washing water of 45 ml) with a C/N ratio of 19.31 and began to mature in week 3 with levels of C-organic, N-total, P-total and K-total of 34.00%; 1.76%; 0.49% and 1.68% respectively.
A voz do cachorro: Comunidade em suspenso no Matadouro de Marcelo Evelin
Authors: Guerra Daniel
Published: December 2024

Através de uma leitura estrutural da “gramática cênica” da peça Matadouro (2010), do coreógrafo Marcelo Evelin e Demolition Incorporada, procura-se pensar uma noção de comunidade artística que não se constitua em idealização totalizante. Para tanto, atravessa-se as filosofias de Jacques Rancière, François Lyotard e Vladimir Safatle, principalmente no que diz respeito à noção de sublime, para a partir daí, num movimento crítico, buscar a singularidade do pensamento posto em obra na peça Matadouro.

2000 Sonrası Türk Romanında Erkekliğin Dönüşümü: Sinek Isırıklarının Müellifi
Authors: Tatli Meliha
Published: December 2024

Toplumsal cinsiyet çalışmaları erkek ve kadın kimlikleri üzerine birçok yönden araştırma yapan bir alan olmakla birlikte daha çok feminizm ve kadın çalışmaları üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Son zamanlarda yapılan akademik çalışmalara bakıldığında ise erkeğin kültürel, tarihsel, sosyal ve siyasal yönlerinin ele alındığı ve bu durumda erkeklik eleştirisi yapıldığı görülmüştür. Eleştirel erkeklik çalışmaları kadınların ikinci cins olarak görülmesini anlamak kadar erkeklerin neden tahakküm kurduğunu anlamanın da önemli olduğunu vurgular. Bu yüzden de yapılan erkeklik çalışmalarıyla birlikte erkeğin görülmeyen yönleri, dışa vurulmayan duyguları üzerinde durulmuştur. Birçok disiplinde olduğu gibi 2000 sonrası Türk romanında da erkeğin güç, iktidar ve bağımsızlığı karşılayan özellikleriyle değil daha çok zayıf ve kırılgan olarak yansıtıldığı görülmüştür. Çağdaş Türk Edebiyatı’nın önde gelen isimlerinden Barış Bıçakçı’nın “Sinek Isırıkları Müellifi” romanının başkarakteri Cemil, toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri dışında hareket eden, ataerkil sistemin öğretisine uymayan bir karakter olarak öne çıkar. Bu çalışmada Cemil’in erkeklik kimliğinin kendisiyle, çevresiyle ve karısı Nazlı’yla birlikte hangi yönlerden kırılmalar yaşadığı üzerinde durulmuştur.
