The Urgency of Terminating Investigations in Handling Corruption Cases in the Jurisdiction of the High Prosecutor's Office South Sulawesi
Authors: Poernomo Sri Lestari , Zulkarnaen  , Rahman Sufirman , Malik Prayudi
Published: April 2024

Objective: This study aims to investigate the urgency of terminating investigations in handling corruption cases within the jurisdiction of the High Prosecutor's Office South Sulawesi. It seeks to identify the factors influencing the decision to terminate investigations, evaluate the effectiveness of such decisions, and propose recommendations for improvement.
 
Methodology: A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining quantitative analysis of case data with qualitative examination of legal documents and interviews with legal practitioners. Data is collected from corruption case files, legal statutes, and interviews with prosecutors and anti-corruption experts.
 
Theoretical Framework: Theoretical Framework adopts a normative case study approach as the main method to understand and analyse the urgency of stopping investigations in handling corruption cases in the jurisdiction of the South Sulawesi High Prosecutor's Office. In this context, the main focus of the research is on the concept of law as a norm or rule that applies in society, which guides the behaviour of each individual. Normative legal research, in essence, aims to identify, analyse and evaluate various legal aspects relevant to the termination of investigations in corruption cases. This includes an in-depth study of legal regulations, legal principles, and legal doctrines related to the investigation termination process.
 
Conclussion: The urgency of halting investigations into corruption cases lies in efforts to recover and restore state finances, as outlined in Article 109 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. Reasons for terminating investigations include insufficient evidence, absence of criminal offense, and adherence to legal principles. Investigators possess the authority to issue Investigator's Termination Orders, particularly in cases where no unlawful acts, strong evidence, or state losses are found. The application of Restorative Justice facilitates the return of state losses by corruption perpetrators while maintaining criminal sanctions against them.

Authors: Tarmidi Deden , Mayangsari Sekar , Nurlis  , Oktris Lin
Published: April 2024

Purpose: This study aims to analyze investor reactions to the supervisory function carried out by independent commissioners and audit committees, especially in supervising corporate tax policies taken by management.
 
Theoretical framework: Corporate tax policy has the risk of tax penalties in the future and risks reducing investment returns in the future, so the role of independent commissioners and audit committees should be able to supervising management so that the tax policies taken do not harm investors.
 
Method: 565 panel data from manufacturing companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange 2015-2022 were analyzed with a quantitative approach and multiple linear methods using STATA.
 
Result: This study found that independent commissioners encourage management in tax burden minimization policies, while the audit committee is not optimal in carrying out its supervisory function over corporate tax management policies. In addition, investors react to the audit committee because it is considered capable of carrying out the supervisory function of management, while investors do not react to independent commissioners and corporate tax policies.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: The results of this study encourage entities to increase the role of independent commissioners in carrying out supervisory functions such as the audit committee in order to get a positive response from investors which can increase company value for sustainability business.
 
Originality/value: In this study, corporate tax policy is measured by reducing the statutory tax rate with a tax compliance ratio that is rarely used in previous studies, resulting in how much corporate tax policy minimizes the tax expense.
Shaken and Stirred: The Crisis of Masculinity in Casino Royale
Authors: Sharman Ellen
Published: April 2024

This article evaluates the literary figure of James Bond as a manifestation and projection of the Masculinity Crisis of the 1950’s white western male. In his first outing in Ian Fleming’s 1953 Casino Royale, Bond functions as a figure of subjectivity-splitting anxiety through whom the Masculinity Crisis is channelled with catastrophic effects for the character’s own sense of self, mirroring wider social fears about changing roles in an increasingly altering post-war society. While a number of scholars increasingly note the utility of masculinity theory in James Bond studies, the origin of the character’s troubled relationship to his own masculine self is yet to be explored in Fleming’s first novel as cinematic critiques take centre stage in analytical discussions. This article argues that the demands of a hegemonic hyper masculinity, combined with the dualistic lifestyle of a spy, see Bond oscillate between "ideal" and "transgressive" versions of masculine embodiment. This is shown to ultimately work to dissociate the character from his own sense of self, propelling him into crisis. It examines three areas of binary conflict: wealth and ruin, virility and castration, and masculinity and femininity, arguing the extreme pressures of each create an unstable, uneasy, and unhealthy masculine entity in need of critical re-examination.
James Bond and Modesty Blaise: Comparing Ian Fleming's and Peter O'Donnell's Literary Creations
Authors: Korpisaari Antti
Published: April 2024

The creation of Peter O’Donnell’s Modesty Blaise strip cartoon (1963–2001) and book series (1965–1996) took place during – and under the undeniable influence of – the "Bondmania" that swept the world in the 1960s. Still, as a strong, independent, and sexually liberated female hero, Modesty Blaise was in many ways quite new to the early 1960s. Regardless of this, however, she was regarded as a “feminine answer to James Bond”, and this view continues to echo in the writings of many contemporary critics and academics. Comparing Ian Fleming’s original Bond stories and O’Donnell’s books, this article will discuss and question the validity of seeing Modesty Blaise and her world as "derivatives" of Bond. The article pays special attention to the similarities and differences in the skillsets, life histories, and personalities of James Bond, Modesty Blaise, and her trusted companion in arms, Willie Garvin. It also explores the nature of the operations that Bond and Blaise and Garvin undertake; the former as an agent of the British Secret Service, the latter two as independently wealthy "freelancers" or "vigilantes". A closely related issue is the way in which the chiefs of British Intelligence, Fleming’s M and O’Donnell’s Sir Gerald Tarrant, are portrayed in and figure into the narratives. Although Fleming’s influence is clearly present in the first Modesty Blaise stories, the article will argue that the Modesty Blaise and James Bond series have many more dissimilarities than similarities and that the former merits increased academic attention in its own right.
Trouble in Cyprus, Riots in Turkey: Ian Fleming, Propaganda, and "The Great Riot of Istanbul"
Authors: Mitchell David
Published: April 2024

This article will analyse British influence campaigns that employed disinformation and propaganda to advance British interests during the Second World War and the early Cold War, with a focus on the role of Ian Fleming. It draws on declassified files at The National Archives in London, primary media sources in English and in Turkish, and secondary published research to help understand the extent to which British objectives were achieved in Turkey and Cyprus by finding common ground with the Turkish government, creating false anti-communist narratives, and turning a blind eye to undemocratic and repressive activity against minorities driven by ethno-nationalist policies of the Turkish Republic. The article will answer the following questions: why did Ian Fleming trivialise a violent pogrom against ethnic-Greeks in Istanbul in 1955 as a spontaneous “riot” (in his Sunday Times report), and as a Soviet plot in From Russia With Love? Did British strategic considerations in Cyprus and the Eastern Mediterranean make them complicit in human rights abuses in Turkey? Did Ian Fleming’s writing help shield the Turkish government from criticism at a time of declining colonial power and ideological Cold War? And finally, how do public perceptions of intelligence that Fleming helped to create serve the interests of modern, authoritarian politics in Turkey?
Retro Games, Contemporary Minds: A Review of Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64, 1997)
Authors: Wintle Phil
Published: April 2024

Growing up in the 1990s and early 2000s, James Bond somewhat surrounded me. Pierce Brosnan's films mesmerised me, ITV ran older Bond films every week, and there were trading cards and magazines too. But it is GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 that is the single product I have engaged most with over time. Still fondly remembered by people of my age, Rare's game has had a huge impact on the video game industry; many critics still include it in greatest games lists, and the game's single-player and multiplayer game modes and mechanics have helped to form the foundations for modern-day first-person shooters. Moreover, the game engrossed the playerl playing it was exciting and amusing, and further drew players into the world of Bond.The game has been re-released and re-developed a few times, but I wanted to see how blinded by nostalgia older gamers, including myself, are. This review looks to answer this query, as a small group of d'Overbroeck School's students play and review the game using the original hardware. They explore GoldenEye 007 with a frank discussion of its weaknesses and strengths, how its multiplayer and single-player compare, and how it affects their view of the James Bond Franchise.

Authors: Garba Abdulhamid Muhammad , Yaman Fırıncıoğlu Sema
Published: April 2024

This study focused on evaluating the nutritional characteristics and in vitro true digestibility of apple pomace derived from three apple cultivars: Golden Delicious, Starking, and Granny Smith (Malus domestica Borkh). These apple cultivars were sourced from the local market in Nigde, Turkiye. Statistical analyses, including one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's test, were employed to assess variations among the apple pomace samples. Results indicated that, except for in vitro true digestibility, there were no significant variations in the chemical composition and total phenolic matter contents among the apple pomaces (P>0.05). However, Granny Smith apple pomace exhibited distinct features, such as higher neutral detergent fiber content (29.80%), elevated crude protein levels (5.09%) and substantial acid detergent fiber (25.30%) values. In contrast, Starking apple pomace displayed superior air-dry matter (27.24%), while Golden Delicious showcased enhanced dry matter (95.3%) and ash content (2.00%). Regarding total phenolic matter contents, Granny Smith excelled with 112.4 mg GAE/100g, outperforming Starking (103 mg GAE/100g) and Golden Delicious (75.8 mg GAE/100g). Crucially, Starking demonstrated superior in vitro true digestibility, with values reaching 92.36% (as received) and 92.23% (dry matter). Granny Smith, in comparison to Golden Delicious and Starking, displayed significantly different neutral detergent fiber digestibility (P<0.05). Starking apple pomace exhibit the highest overall digestibility among the apple pomaces analysed in this study, hence recommended for use in ruminant nutrition. These findings have implications for the potential utilization of apple pomace in diverse applications, given the diverse nutritional profiles of these cultivars.
Comparison of Different Soil Tillage Methods for Sustainable Agriculture in the Transition Climate Zone in Terms of Seedbed Quality and Green Grass Yield of Triticale-Vetch Mixture
Authors: Gül Esra Nur , Özgöz Engin , Mutlu Nurhan
Published: April 2024

In the research conducted under the conditions of Tokat, silage triticale-vetch mixture-second crop silage corn rotation was applied. The study used four different tillage methods to compare the quality and product yield of the seedbed prepared for silage triticale-vetch mixture. Conventional tillage method (M1), conservation tillage method (M2), reduced tillage method (M3), and direct sowing (M4) methods were applied. Seedbed quality: It was evaluated regarding soil moisture content, bulk density, penetration resistance, degree of soil fragmentation, and surface roughness for depths of 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm. The effect of soil tillage methods on porosity, surface roughness, and green grass yield were statistically insignificant. Although there were statistical differences between the methods regarding soil moisture content (MC), bulk density (BD), penetration resistance (PR), and mean weight diameter values (MWD), the values are within the limit values determined for plant growth. However, crop yield is the same between soil tillage methods. This result shows that alternative tillage methods are applicable when evaluated in sustainable agriculture, which does not create a statistically significant difference in crop yield compared to conventional tillage.

Authors: Öğüt Yavuz Derya , Dinler Havva , Uysal Morca Ayşe
Published: April 2024

To increase yield and quality in agricultural production, it is necessary to perform management against diseases and pests. Alternaria, which causes several diseases in many economically important plants, is the most common species and widely distributed in nature. One of the important species reported in sweet cherry in recent years is Alternaria alternata. Many studies have emphasized the necessity of effective control with Alternaria species and examined the use of environmentally friendly methods against fungal diseases. In recent years, the use of plant extracts has increased due to their antimicrobial properties. Antifungal effects of Datura stramonium L., Vitex agnus-castus L., Xanthium strumarium L., Capsella bursa-pastoris L., Convolvulus arvensis L., Viscum album L., Echinophora tenuifolia L. subsp. sibthorpiana (Guss.) Tutin, Amaranthus retroflexus L., Chenopodium album L., Tribulus terrestris L., Solanum nigrum L., Nerium oleander L., Circium arvense (L.) Scop. and Brassica oleracea L. aqueous extracts were determined against Alternaria alternata. At the end of the 7-day incubation period, the mycelial growth of the fungi was measured and the antifungal effect of plant extracts was determined. As a result, the extracts were determined to inhibit mycelial growth compared to control. The plant water extracts used in the study were determined to inhibit the mycelial development of the pathogen by 20.20% to 77.12%. It is considered that different solvents and concentrations should be addressed to guide further studies. It was also concluded that potential plant species that may show anti-fungal properties should be evaluated.

The study presents findings on comparative analysis of household food insecurity status among rice farmers in the Savanna and the Rainforest agro-ecological zones in Southwest States, Nigeria. Primary data were used and obtained through the administration of a well structured questionnaire. A multistage random sampling was used to select 577 rice farmers in the study area. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, household food insecurity access (HFIA) scale, household food insecurity access prevalence (HFIAP) scale, likert scale and linear regression model. The results revealed that majority of the rice farmer’s fall within 31-50 years of age bracket, with household size of 5-8 persons, married, with farming experiences and have small farm size. The findings from average household food insecurity access scale scores in the Savanna and the Rainforest agro-ecological zones were 4.0 (mildly food insecure) and 5.2 (moderately food insecure) respectively. The results of HFIAP indicator revealed that about 39.1% and 33.5% of respondents were classified as food secure, 8% and 13.9% were mildly food insecure, 15.1% and 22.2% were moderately food insecure and 37.8% and 30.4% were severely food insecure in the Savanna and the Rainforest agro-ecological zones respectively. The major coping strategies adopted by the respondents against food insecurity include reduce the quantity of food consumed and eating but not satisfied. The linear regression model revealed that age, sex, years in school, farm size, household size, farming experience, rice farming experience and tenure system significantly affect household’s food insecurity status. To transport from food insecure to food secure, age, sex, years in school, farm size, household size, farming experience, rice farming experience and tenure system alleviation policies are imperative.

Authors: Karimba Yannick , Mugunga Canisius Patrick
Published: April 2024

Conversion of land use from forest to agricultural uses modifies soil quality through physiochemical soil properties changes. This study was conducted in Rwanda’s central plateau agro-ecological zone to evaluate the effect of forest and agricultural land uses on soil quality. The study was conducted in 2020. Soil samples were collected at the top, middle and bottom positions of each of the two land uses. We analyzed soil bulk density, soil moisture content, soil pH, soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), available phosphorus (Av P), and CEC for each position of the land uses. Data were analyzed using ANOVA in GENSTAT version 13. The results revealed that soil properties were significantly affected by land use change. Analysis of variances (LSD<0.05) results showed, however, that treatments were not significantly different within the same land use. The results showed that treatments from top position of forest lands had the highest mean values for soil organic matter and total N parameters with the respective mean values of 6.58 %, and 0.37 %. Treatments from middle position of forest lands had the highest mean values for soil moisture content and Av P parameters respectively with 23.60 % and 29.56 ppm. But, soil bulk density was high on top position of agricultural land with a mean value of 1.49 g/cm3. Land users are advised to apply crop and soil management techniques which maintain soil quality and productivity on agricultural lands.

Published: April 2024

Spirulina platensis (S. platensis) is a high-nutrient blue-green algae that has been used as a food supplement for a long time. It contains carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds essential for basic human nutrition. It is known to have anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective, and hypocholesterolemic properties due to the bioactive compounds it contains. In this study, the effects of freeze-thawing, a rapid freezing (-20°C) and thawing (4°C) process, and ultrasonically assisted extraction techniques on the color, antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, and phenolic composition of Spirulina platensis extracts were investigated. The antioxidant capacity of the extracts obtained was determined by two different methods, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl) and ABTS (2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazollin-6-sulfonic acid)). The sugar profile was determined by HPLC-RID and phenolic composition was determined by HPLC-ESI-DAD-MS/MS. The antioxidant activity and total phenolic content of samples prepared by the freeze-thawing were higher than those prepared by ultrasonic-assisted conventional extraction technique. In addition to ferulic acid 4-O-glucuronide and brevifolin carboxylate, an isocoumarin derivative, as the dominant phenolic compound in S. platensis extracts, a total of 10 phenolic compounds including catechin isomer, resveratrol C-hexoside, myricetin, ferulic acid, gallic acid, phloroglucinol, and lutein were detected. Glucose was the predominant sugar in both samples. The total sugar content was higher in the freeze-thawed samples (217.92 mg/100 g DW) than in the ultrasonic-assisted conventional extraction technique (182.91 mg/100 g DW). S. platensis has a significant amount of antioxidants, valuable secondary metabolites, and potential commercial applications and medicinal properties, but releasing these compounds is difficult due to the cell wall. This study was carried out to determine how different extraction techniques alter the release of bioactive compounds.

Authors: Okcu Zuhal , Yangılar Filiz
Published: April 2024

In the current study, four different types of yogurt were produced as control samples (no MPP added) and 1, 2, and 3% melon peel powder (MPP1, MPP2, and MPP3). These yogurts were determined by physicochemical, microbiological, sensory, total phenolic, and antioxidant activity weekly for 21 days. While ash, moisture, titratable acidity (TA), viscosity, water holding capacity (WHC), a* and b* values, total phenolic content (TPC), and antioxidant capacity of melon peel powder samples increased, L*, pH, and syneresis values decreased. In concentrations of 1, 2, and 3%, the mean antioxidant activity of powdered yogurt was found to have average values during storage of 30.09%, 32.32%, and 36.26%, respectively. All yogurts continued to contain more than 107 cfu/g of live lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. As the storage time increased, the sample’s pH and syneresis decreased, while titration acidity and texture increased. No yeast or mold (2 log cfu/g) was determined in the samples. The panelists preferred MPP1 and MPP2 samples. According to the findings of the study, melon rind powder, which is a by-product, can be recommended as a functional food additive in yogurts.

Published: April 2024

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) topping is one of the essential practice to obtain good quality and adequate yield. The suckericide (Flumetralin as a best herbicide and plant growth regulator). For the purpose to compare topping as manual and herbicide application the experiment was conducted on flue cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco at Tobacco Research Station, Khan Ghari, Mardan during 2021-2022. The experiment was conducted in RCB design with three replications and five treatments (Control, Manual de-suckering, 1000, 1200, 1500 ml of Flumetralin ha-1). Treatments were applied at three stages (button stage, early flowering stage and late flowering stage). The data revealed that topping timing and maximum dose (1500 ml ha-1) of (Flumetralin) resulted maximum (896 cm-2) leaf area, less number (14) of sucker plant-1, lower (132 g) green weight and dry weight (20.30 g) of sucker plot-1, more cured weight (5.08 kg) of leaves plot-1 and maximum yield (3038) kg ha-1, lower nicotine contents (2.26) and less sugar contents (16.24) at button stage. Moreover, Flumetralin application on at button stage resulted less sucker growth and enhanced leaf yield. I suggest that the tobacco K399 with the application of suckericide and growth regulator (Flumetralin) have the potential to incorporate in further breeding program for low content of nicotine, reduced sugar content and high yield.

Published: April 2024

There is an increasing trend for development of alternatives to deliver probiotics with non-dairy products. Fruit juices have become one of main food products for delivery of probiotics. The availability of different fruit juice types, their fresh and healthy perception from the consumer's side and demand for plant-based products increase attention to fortification of fruit juices with probiotics. Yet, development of probiotic fruit juices is still an emerging area for the functional food concept. Probiotic juices can be developed by using both probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium and their viability can be strain specific as well dependent on the utilized fruits. The transformation of the fruit components can play roles for the improvement of the potential health promoting functions of fruit juices which should be well-characterized. The insufficient viability of probiotic strains during shelf-life of fruit juices is one of the main challenges and efficient and relatively cheap encapsulation techniques should be developed to ensure their viability. In this study, recent achievements and developments to produce probiotic fruit juices have been summarized. Also, potential role of probiotic fortification for the health promoting functions of fruit juices related to probiotic metabolism has been discussed. Finally, strategies to increase the viability of distinct probiotics have been discussed.

Legal Regulation оf Insurance оf Clinical Trials оf Medicinal Products іn Ukraine
Authors: Patsuria N. B. , Holovachova A. S.
Published: April 2024

The article examines the current state and prospects of development of insurance for clinical trials of medicinal products in Ukraine, and also substantiates the need to introduce certain types of insurance in this area. As a result of a systematic analysis of current legislation, scientific literature and international acts, the author classifies persons participating in clinical trials of medicinal products into: 1) clinical trial subjects and 2) participants of such a scientific and medical experiment.
In addition, the author outlines the main risks that arise for individual trial participants throughout the entire dynamics of clinical trials of medicines and proposes to minimize them by: changing the regulatory approach to making insurance mandatory by clarifying the subject matter of the insurance contract (insurance of liability of the investigator and sponsor of clinical trials); introduction of property insurance and liability insurance of manufacturers of medicinal products with state support; introduction of professional liability insurance of the investigator/co-investigator of clinical trials of medicinal products; introduction of insurance of investment and financial risks in the field of clinical trials of medicinal products with state support.
It is also established that the peculiarities of the legal status of clinical trial participants, the specifics of their interests, and the need to participate in the trial influence the formation of the theory of multiple risks arising in the course of a clinical trial of a medicinal product and can be manifested as cases with negative consequences. The theory of multiple risks makes it possible to group them into different areas depending on the criterion of personalization (status of a person participating in a medical experiment: subject/ participant): 1) personal risks; 2) property risks; 3) liability risks.
Osteomyelitis in patients with sickle cell disease
Authors: Santos Andréia , Ferrarini Maria , Braga Josefina
Published: April 2024

Objective: identify clinical and laboratory characteristics of osteomyelitis (OM) in 3 patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). Metodology: Retrospective evaluation of medical records of a tertiary University Hospital in São Paulo. Discussion: The cases described were comparable to Weisman, 2020, regarding age and the higher frequency of involvement of long bones, and 2 of the 3 patients are homozygous for SCD. The three patients had leukocytosis similar to those found in the literature (Fontalis et al, 2019), and all showed an increase in CRP as the OM progressed, showing reduction in values ??when treatment started. Pain and local edema were present in the reported cases, and two of them presented pain in different sites, being diagnosed in these cases. In this study, no agent was isolated in blood cultures, as reported by Fontalis 2019. In case 1, the imaging exam showed expected changes, while in cases 2 and 3, the patients had involvement of long bones, the most common sites of previous bone infarction, acute and chronic alterations were found (Al Farii et al., 2020). Conclusion: SCD patients are at increased risk for osteomyelitis. The differential diagnosis between bone infarction related to vaso-occlusive crisis is a challenge, as the initial clinical presentation is similar. Osteomyelitis should be suspected in patients with SCD who present a vaso-occlusive crisis in only one site, with prolonged fever and an increase in inflammatory evidence. Early antibiotic therapy directed at the most frequent agents can avoid complications and allow for better prognosis.

In 2016, the University of Winnipeg implemented an Indigenous course requirement (ICR) that all students need to fulfill to be able to graduate. During their degree program, they can choose any approved ICR course to fulfill this requirement. Most departments offer at least one course that has the ICR designation. I developed a course called Representations of Indigeneity in the department of Rhetoric, Writing, and Communications and have facilitated this course since then using a human library method, where we learn from real live humans that are knowledgeable about the topic. We look at a variety of themes, such as Indigenous representations in politics, business, music, art, media, land based learning, food, and research methods. To address these various topics, we had speakers into the classroom or went on fieldtrips in the area to learn more about the topic.
One of the assignments in the class was for students to respond to the speakers and fieldtrips in their reflection journals where they were encouraged to be creative in their responses. This article is a collection of student responses about their interactions with the guest speakers, the fieldtrips we went on, and the class discussions we had.
Elevated osmolytes accumulation helps in combating NaCl stress causing negative impacts on growth and metabolism of Vigna radiata (L.)

Published: April 2024

Salinity stress is one of the main abiotic stresses that have a negative impact on the growth performance of green gram. The current study was carried out as a result to find out growth, and morpho-biochemical changes in Vigna radiata CO7 variety cultivated under NaCl stress treatments. The V. radiata CO7 variety was selected and the experiment was carried out in pot culture under varying NaCl concentrations viz., 0, 50, 75, 100, and 125 mM respectively to assess maximum tolerance range of the CO7 variety. The salt stress was given on 15th days after sowing and sampling was done after 10 days of treatment on the 25th, 35th, and 45th day respectively. Salt stress results in a steep decline in shoot length, biomass, chlorophyll contents a and b, and soluble protein contents with increased NaCl treatments on all sampling days. However, carotenoid contents, and compatible solutes including proline, Glycine-betaine, Amino acids and total soluble sugars contents were found to be upregulated under varying NaCl concentrations in V. radiata CO7 variety on all sampling days. Thus, increased carotenoid contents, and osmolytes, provide stress tolerance to V. radiata CO7 variety by maintaining the turgor pressure of cells and preventing further water loss under varying NaCl concentrations. Hence, this variety shows maximum surveillance at 75 mM and beyond this plant performance is restricted and further study is needed to access CO7 variety for a breeding program to enhance salt stress tolerance.

En este artículo se plantea una mirada crítica y propositiva a las prácticas educativas hegemónicas que, atadas al desarrollismo económico, privilegian el conocimiento técnico e instrumental centrado en la razón analítica y marcado por el cientificismo, el antropocentrismo utilitarista y la competitividad. En consecuencia, se resalta el valor de la subjetividad, se explora la presencia e importancia de la razón amable o cordial y se valora la apertura a la afectividad, las emociones, la sensibilidad estética y la espiritualidad en los procesos formativos y de aprendizaje. Dimensiones inherentes a la posibilidad de configurar subjetividades éticas y políticas comprometidas con el cuidado de la tierra y, por tanto, respetuosas y compasivas con la “alteridad”. En coherencia con lo anterior, se presentan narrativas construidas por un grupo de estudiantes que participa en una propuesta pedagógica centrada en vivencias de aprendizaje sobre la disminución y el cuidado de los polinizadores. Son relatos que hablan de experiencias vividas, expresan comprensiones y plantean puntos de vista en torno a la contención de problemas socioambientales; narraciones que son entretejidas con perspectivas teóricas que les son coherentes y que se sincronizan con las consideraciones de los autores en torno al potencial formativo de actividades pedagógicas que favorecen el despliegue de una ética del cuidado, en-acción.

Lumpur pemboran merupakan salah satu faktor yang paling penting dalam suatu operasi pemboran..Permasalahan yang sering muncul dalam sirkulasi lumpur pemboran salah satunya berupa lost circulation. Untuk menanggulangi permasalahan lost circulation maka perlu ditambahkan LCM..Penelitian ini menggunakan ampas tebu sebagai bahan LCM. Ampas tebu memiliki kandungan karbon yang tinggi berupa selulosa sebesar 26-43% dan hemiselulosa sebesar 17- 23%. Penambahan ampas tebu kedalam lumpur standar dengan massa additive 1, 1,5 , 2 dan 2,5 gr kemudian di mixer selanjutnya lumpur tesebut dipanaskan dengan temperatur 80oF dan 140oF. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian penambahan ampas tebu pada lumpur pemboran yang digunakan sebagai loss circulation material (LCM) dengan konsentrasi dan temperatur tertentu dikatakan efektif untuk mencegah terjadinya permasalahan loss circulation. Dari hasil pengujian rheology lumpur pemboran yaitu densitas, viskositas, plastic viscosity, yield point, dan gel strength dengan penambahan massa additive ampas tebu dapat meningkatkan nilai rheology lumpur pemboran, namun seiring dengan kenaikan temperatur hingga 140oF mengakibatkan penurunan nilai rheology lumpur. Hasil pengujian filtration loss semakin banyak penambahan massa additive dan semakin tinggi temperatur maka nilai filtration loss akan menurun sedangkan pada pengujian mud cake dengan penambahan massa additive dan kenaikan temperatur mengakibatkan nilai mud cake semakin bertambah

Indonesia is located below the equator and has high exposure to sunlight throughout the year, providing great potential for generating electrical energy from solar sources. The demand for electrical energy in Indonesia continues to increase every year, so that it is very important to take advantage of the abundant potential of solar energy to become a source of renewable energy for power generation. This study focuses on analyzing the potential and effectiveness of using solar power and the challenges in its use, especially in the Makassar area. Solar power can generate up to 112,000 GWp of electricity or the equivalent of 89,600,000 MW. One of the challenges faced in using solar panels is the high material and installation costs, as well as people's dependence on conventional electricity. The Indonesian government has set a target to obtain 23% of the total electricity capacity from renewable energy sources by 2025. One solution is to use a rooftop solar system which can directly convert solar radiation into electrical energy. The energy generated from the Rooftop PLTS system can be stored in a battery that is controlled by a regulator and used at night. The use of on-grid PLTS or Rooftop PLTS can provide the advantage of saving PLN's electricity by 39.9% to 110.5%. It can be concluded that using energy from solar panels in a month can produce carbon gas emissions by 3.3% or carbon gas emissions are reduced by up to 96.7%.

Published: April 2024

This research explored mathematical concepts of Gamelan musical instruments and dance movements in Kuda Lumping Wanareja. This research used a qualitative approach with an ethnographic design. Located of research at Cihandiwung Lor, Adimulya, Wanareja, Cilacap, Central Java. Data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through reduction, presentation, and verification of conclusions. The research results showed that Wanareja's Kuda Lumping gamelan musical instruments consisted of kendang, demung, saron, calapita, kenong, bonang, kethuk, drum, gong, and kempul. Based on the shape of gamelan musical instruments, mathematical concepts include numbers, measurement, and geometry. The saron, demung, bonang, and kempul contain the concept of natural numbers, while kempul shows the concept of quantity. The kendang, demung, saron, calapita, kenong, bonang, kethuk, drum, gong, and kempul show the concept of a rectangle, circle, trapezoid, and tube. The layout of gamelan musical instruments (especially bonang) involves a matrix concept. The Kuda Lumping dance consists of ngatur sembah, pecak pedhang, losing to the enemy, fighting against the enemy from the right, fighting against the enemy from the left, ending the battle, mejang beksa, and janturan/mendem. The mathematical concept related to dance movement patterns is geometric transformation (reflection, translation, and rotation). Several dance movements for praying, breaking the sword, losing to the enemy, fighting against the enemy, and ending the battle show reflection and translation. The janturan and mejang beksa dance movements show rotation. Concerning Gamelan musical instruments, there are kethuk and saron which show two-dimensional geometric concepts such as circles and trapezoids. The results of this research are applied as context in mathematical problems.

التربية على الفضيلة في الفكر التربوي الإسلامي والفلسفات الغربية المعاصرة - دراسة مقارنة
Authors: العقيلي هيلة فيصل
Published: April 2024

هدفت الدراسة إلى تحرير مضمون التربية على الفضيلة والتعرف على أبرز معالم التربية على الفضيلة، وتحديد نقاط التشابه والاختلاف بين مضمونه في الفكر التربوي الإسلامي والفلسفات الغربية المعاصرة، ولأنّ صورة الفكرة وقيمتها تتضح عندما تقاس بغيرها، نهجت المنهج المقارن، فعمدت إلى مقارنة مفهوم الفضيلة بين الفكرين باختيار نموذج بيترسون وسليجمان (Peterson and Seligman) أرضية لهذه المقارنة، ومن ثم إيضاح وجهة النظر الإسلامية، جاء في أبرز نتائجها:1. يغلب على الفلسفات الغربية المعاصرة أنها لا تولي الفضيلة أو القيم الأخلاقية اهتماماً مباشراً، إلا أنها ترمي إليها ضمنياً، وذلك عائد إلى ضرورة الجانب الخُلقي في المجتمعات البشرية وأن إلغاءه نظرياً لا يستلزم إلغاءه واقعياً.2 . لم توافق الفلسفات الغربية المعاصرة التربية على الفضيلة في الفكر الإسلامي من جميع جوانبها مفهوماً ومضموناً، ولم توافق النموذج الذي توصل له بيترسون وسليجمان، فهي تركز على جانب وتهمل الآخر، وتعمد إلى تعميم بعض المبادئ وإسقاطها على ما لا يحتملها، ويعود ذلك للطابع العلمي الذي يغلب عليها.3.من القواعد الأساسية لدى علماء الفكر التربوي الإسلامي الجمع بين الجانبين العلمي والعملي، حيث إن كمال الفضيلة يكمن في الجمع بين الجانبين النظري والعملي بجعل الجانب العملي ثمرة الجانب النظري.
