Authors: Olivos Romero Fredy George , Túllume Gonzáles Jesús Florentino
Published: November 2023

El objetivo fue evaluar si las estrategias orientadas a tutoría para el desarrollo de habilidades sociales en estudiantes del nivel secundario de la institución educativa de la región Lambayeque. Estudios previos consideraron que la orientación profesional es el soporte emocional y cognitivo para orientar al estudiante. La personalidad de los estudiantes les permite mejorar sus relaciones en el entorno escolar, familiar y social. El estudio cuenta con un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo básico, un nivel explicativo y un diseño preexperimentales. La muestra fue seleccionada al azar y estuvo conformada por 75 estudiantes a quienes se les realizó un pre-test y un post-test. Se utilizan métodos hermenéuticos para interpretar correctamente los textos citados. La técnica utilizada fue una encuesta, y el instrumento un cuestionario. Los resultados mostraron que el 51% de los estudiantes expresaron conocimientos sobre el manejo de habilidades sociales conductuales que les permitieron desarrollar estrategias de gestión, pero estos conocimientos aún eran elementales e incompletos. Se concluyó que los tipos de habilidades sociales que los estudiantes necesitan desarrollar son habilidades básicas de interacción, habilidades sociales, habilidades de negociación y habilidades de resolución de problemas interpersonales, y que se necesitan talleres de coaching para fortalecer estas habilidades.

Evolutionary insights into 3D genome organization and epigenetic landscape ofVigna mungo
Authors: Junaid Alim , Singh Baljinder , Bhatia Sabhyata
Published: November 2023

Eukaryotic genomes show an intricate three-dimensional (3D) organization within the nucleus that regulates multiple biological processes including gene expression. Contrary to animals, understanding of 3D genome organization in plants remains at a nascent stage. Here, we investigate the evolution of 3D chromatin architecture in legumes. By using cutting-edge PacBio, Illumina, and Hi-C contact reads, we report a gap-free, chromosome-scale reference genome assembly ofVigna mungo, an important minor legume cultivated in Southeast Asia. We spatially resolvedV. mungochromosomes into euchromatic, transcriptionally active A compartment and heterochromatic, transcriptionally-dormant B compartment. We report the presence of TAD-like-regions throughout the diagonal of the HiC matrix that resembled transcriptional quiescent centers based on their genomic and epigenomic features. We observed high syntenic breakpoints but also high coverage of syntenic sequences and conserved blocks in boundary regions than in the TAD-like region domains. Our findings present unprecedented evolutionary insights into spatial 3D genome organization and epigenetic patterns and their interaction within theV. mungogenome. This will aid future genomics and epigenomics research and breeding programs ofV. mungo.
Clathrin light chains CLCa and CLCb have non-redundant roles in epithelial lumen formation
Authors: Chen Yu , Briant Kit , Camus Marine D , Brodsky Frances M
Published: November 2023

To identify functional differences between vertebrate clathrin light chains (CLCa or CLCb), phenotypes of mice lacking genes encoding either isoform were characterised. Mice without CLCa displayed 50% neonatal mortality, reduced body weight, reduced fertility, and ∼40% of aged females developed uterine pyometra. Mice lacking CLCb displayed a less severe weight reduction phenotype compared with those lacking CLCa and had no survival or reproductive system defects. Analysis of female mice lacking CLCa that developed pyometra revealed ectopic expression of epithelial differentiation markers (FOXA2 and K14) and a reduced number of endometrial glands, indicating defects in the lumenal epithelium. Defects in lumen formation and polarity of epithelial cysts derived from uterine or gut cell lines were also observed when either CLCa or CLCb were depleted, with more severe effects from CLCa depletion. In cysts, the CLC isoforms had different distributions relative to each other, although they converge in tissue. Together, these findings suggest differential and cooperative roles for CLC isoforms in epithelial lumen formation, with a dominant function for CLCa.
Synergistic roles of tristetraprolin family members in myeloid cells in the control of inflammation

Published: November 2023

Members of the tristetraprolin (TTP) family of RNA-binding proteins can bind to and promote the decay of specific transcripts containing AU-rich motifs. ZFP36 (TTP) is best known for regulating pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in myeloid cells; however, its mammalian paralogues ZFP36L1 and ZFP36L2 have not been viewed as important in controlling inflammation. We knocked out these genes in myeloid cells in mice, singly and together. Single-gene myeloid-specific knockouts resulted in almost no spontaneous phenotypes. In contrast, mice with myeloid cell deficiency of all three genes developed severe inflammation, with a median survival of 8 wk. Macrophages from these mice expressed many more stabilized transcripts than cells from myeloid-specific TTP knockout mice; many of these encoded pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The failure of weight gain, arthritis, and early death could be prevented completely by two normal alleles of any of the three paralogues, and even one normal allele ofZfp36orZfp36l2was enough to prevent the inflammatory phenotype. Our findings emphasize the importance of all three family members, acting in concert, in myeloid cell function.
Rastin partnership accounting part III: Instalment Financial Sharing (IFS)
Authors: Bijan Bidabad
Published: November 2023

Purpose: This paper aims to explain a new system of accounting for partnership financing that applies in Rastin Profit and Loss Sharing Banking. In this system, the interest rate is not used in calculations and accounting; and instead, the "time value" of capital based on the amount and duration of the partnership is used. In this part, we will go to the details of removing Riba in instalment payments accounting details.Design: Rastin Partnership Accounting principles have been founded on off-balance-sheet items and on the basis of the institutions' obligations to the depositors and receivers of financial resources, and they are in compliance with the nature of the intermediary financial activity (a partnership of depositor in the yields of the fund receiver via the bank).Findings: The distribution of profit among stakeholders (including workforce and capital owners) is accomplished according to the share of each beneficiary in the created value added. In this regard,Euler's theorem, as the best mathematical-economic innovation for the distribution of income, is applied.Research limitations: This system is novel, and it is required to be more elaborated for further practical development and adjustment.Practical implications: In this accounting system, the return of the partnership is distributed among sharers based on the amount and duration of their partnership. The penalty for delay in payment is calculated from the amount of the incurred loss due to negligence or blameworthy of the undertaker and not upon a penalty interest rate.Social implications: Interest rate as an essential factor in conventional accounting is not usable in Islamic banking and other similar institutions that work based on partnership, such as mutual funds and saving and loan associations. The proposed system removes this shortage and is fairer than conventional accounting.Originality/value: The approach of this accounting system is fully different from conventional accounting because of the intrinsic characteristics of the intermediary role of financial partnership institutions and Islamic banks.

The aim of the work is to study the changes in indices of non-specific resistance and cytokine regulation, relevant for the early diagnosis of secondary peritonitis. During the period 2016-2022, in the Surgery Department of the Communal Non-Profit Enterprise “Regional Clinical Hospital, Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Council” there were treated 192 patients with postoperative peritonitis. Of them, in 69 (35.9%) patients the changes in indices of non-specific resistance and cytokine regulation were studied. These studies were performed in the laboratory of the Department of Biological and Medical Chemistry of the Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University. The content of CD3+-lymphocytes in the blood of patients with secondary peritonitis on admission to the hospital was 35.49±3.39%, which is 1.8-fold less than in the comparison group (p<0.002), with their subsequent drop up to 31.00±2.88% (p<0.002) during the third day of the disease. When determining CD4+-lymphocytes during the first day of observation, their indices were 21.49±3.11%, by 56% less than in the comparison group (p<0.002). During the third day of the disease, we observed a slight increase in this index – up to 23.90±3.26% (p<0.01). The study of the level of CD8+-lymphocytes showed that, on admission to the hospital, their level in blood serum was 13.92±1.05%, which is 1.6-fold lower than in patients of the comparison group (p<0.002). Their decrease was observed further, and during the third day this index was 8.08±2.28% (p<0.002). The content of CD11a+-cells on hospitalization was 11.32±0.54%, which is more than 6-fold less than in the comparison group (p<0.002). The content of CD162+-cells in the blood on hospitalization was 21.49±3.11%, which is 3.1-fold less than in the comparison group (p<0.002). The content of CD16+-cells in the blood on hospitalization was 10.83±0.87% (p<0.002). A significant increase in the content of IL in the blood serum at the initial stage of secondary peritonitis with subsequent pathological changes are contributing factors in the disorder of the body’s immune response. The content of IL-6 on admission was 759.72±28.06%, which is almost 3.4-fold higher than the indices in the comparison group (p<0.002). After surgery, this index gradually decreased and during the seventh day was 438.63±19.84% (p<0.002). The results obtained on such indices of non-specific resistance and cytokine regulation as CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD11a, CD162, CD95, CD16, HLA-DR+, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6 showed their significant differences between the subgroups studied (p<0.002), indicating their high sensitivity for diagnosing and predicting the development of secondary peritonitis.
Healthy nutrition as a disease prevention factor: WHO Policy and National Experience (to mark the 75th anniversary of WHO in Ukraine)
Authors: Gulich M.P. , Petrenko O.D.
Published: November 2023

In the context of the constant increase in the burden of chronic non-communicable diseases, the World Health Organization's (WHO) activities are aimed at developing policies and strategies in the field of non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention, which have been continuously evolving. The work is dedicated to examining the sequential policy of the WHO outlined in documents regarding the link between nutrition and the development of non-communicable diseases. The objective of this study is to identify the main stages of WHO's policy on healthy nutrition as a key prerequisite for preventing the development of non-communicable diseases and outline the corresponding measures in Ukraine. Materials and methods: informational, bibliographic, normative-legal. The study utilized systematic-structural, formal-logical, bibliographic, and non-forma­lized (traditional) analysis methods. An analysis of WHO's policy on healthy nutrition as a factor in preventing the development of chronic non-communicable diseases has been conducted. The key stages of policy development and decision-making at the global level over the past three decades have been identified. It has been determined that the evolution of the role of nutrition within WHO's policy has progressed from urging governments to develop national food policies and create national action plans in the 1990s to global strategies and actions that have taken place in the 21st century. The basic WHO documents regarding the link between nutrition and the development of chronic diseases have been examined, as well as the expansion of understanding the content and necessity of healthy nutrition. The implementation of WHO's policy in Ukraine has been highlighted: the "National Action Plan on Non-communicable Diseases to Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030" (2018) has been developed and implemented, serving as a roadmap for the development of a series of guiding documents. The most important of these documents pertain to the organization and standards of healthy nutrition for children. However, the formation of a national regulatory and legal framework regarding healthy nutrition has not yet been completed. It has been determined that Ukraine needs to improve its policy on limiting the use of saturated fats, industrially produced trans fatty acids, and marketing unhealthy food and non-alcoholic beverages targeted at children. There is a need for extensive informational and educational activities to promote WHO's recommendations on healthy nutrition.

Published: November 2023

Acute gastrointestinal bleeding was and remains one of the severe emergency surgical diseases both in Ukraine and in other countries. The study of epidemiology, namely of the prevalence of gastrointestinal bleedings is relevant and will allow to intensify the diagnostic stage and create clearer algorithms for the treatment of this pathology. The aim of the work was to study the dynamics of emergency medical care for patients with gastrointestinal bleedings in Ukraine and the Poltava region. A statistical retrospective study of indicators of emergency medical care for patients with gastrointestinal bleedings in Ukraine and the Poltava region was conducted using data from official sources of the Center for Medical Statistics of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The wave-like nature of the increase in hospitalization of patients with gastrointestinal bleedings was observed in Ukraine and the Poltava region. The growth rates obtained as a result of the alignment of the dynamic series gave a clear trend towards the acceleration of the decline of this indicator: from -1.25 to -1.36 in Ukraine; and in the Poltava region before increasing the rate: from 4.85 to 3.62. During the entire studied period, the average level of hospitalization of patients with gastrointestinal bleeding after 24 hours was consistently higher in the Poltava region than in Ukraine (in Ukraine – 36.13% versus 43.16% in the Poltava region) (р<0.05). The rate of postoperative mortality in these patients in Ukraine increased (from 5.02% to 6.30%) (р<0.05)with gradual inhibition (the growth rate decreased). In the Poltava region, the level of the indicator exceeded the national level and the leveling of the dynamic series had a downward trend (from 12.4% to 10.38%) (р<0.05). Thus, the problem of gastrointestinal bleeding remains relevant at the present time, as it continues to remain one of the severe urgent surgical diseases, both in Ukraine as a whole and in its individual regions, in particular in the Poltava region. Peptic ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum continues to remain the first nosology that causes gastrointestinal bleeding. Postoperative mortality remains high and ranges from 5% to 12%. The time of hospitalization from the onset of the disease to hospitalization is consistently higher in the Poltava region than in Ukraine (the average level in Ukraine is 36.13% versus 43.16% in Poltava region) (р<0.05).
A clinical case of asymptomatic pancreatic hyperenzymemia on the background of taking a Glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue (GLP-1)

Published: November 2023

According to current statistics, the incidence of type 2 diabetes has increased significantly over the past few years. The number of drugs prescribed to correct carbohydrate metabolism is also increasing, and new groups of hypoglycemic drugs are appearing. This prompts a more detailed study and analysis of the possible side effects of the prescribed therapy. One of the modern groups of medications f  or treating type 2 diabetes are analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, which, in addition to correcting carbohydrate metabolism, have a beneficial effect on the risk of developing cardiovascular events. Despite this, there is evidence that their use may be associated with the development of undesirable adverse effects from the pancreas, particularly acute pancreatitis, pancreatopathy, or asymptomatic hyperenzymemia. The aim of our work was the analysis of a clinical case of an asymptomatic increase in the level of pancreatic enzymes (Gullo's syndrome) in a patient with type 2 diabetes, who used a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor analogue for treatment according to the usual scheme (dulaglutide 0.75 mg subcutaneously once a week during 2 years). As a result, the patient developed a side effect that could be related to taking this medicine. This did not lead to the withdrawal of the drug but required a more thorough examination of the patient and regular further screening for the timely detection of the development of possible organic pathology of the pancreas in the future. So, after analyzing this clinical case, it is possible to see the possibility of developing asymptomatic pancreatic hyperenzymopathy during the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist analogues, which should be taken into account when determining the treatment tactics.
The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative in Canada: A Narrative Review
Authors: Arellano Faye
Published: November 2023

Breastfeeding offers substantial benefits to infant health, encompassing physical and neurodevelopmental aspects. National and international guidelines, such as those from the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) and World Health Organization (WHO), recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life, followed by continued breastfeeding with complementary foods until two years of age or beyond. Despite these recommendations, Canada faces challenges in achieving optimal breastfeeding rates, with only 35% of parents exclusively breastfeeding until the recommended six-month mark. This narrative review aims to assess the implementation rate of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) in Canada, an intervention established by the WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to promote breastfeeding. Comprehensive searches on Google and official websites of relevant associations and organizations were conducted to gather data on the number of designated Baby-Friendly Hospitals using reports from 2016 to 2022. Our findings reveal that only 3% of the 604 total hospitals in Canada available for receiving Baby-Friendly designation have acquired it. Furthermore, the proportion of designated hospitals is less than one-third in each province. There are varying trends in the number of designated Baby-Friendly Hospitals across Canadian provinces and territories. While some have demonstrated a steady increase over the examined period (e.g. Nova Scotia, Alberta), others exhibited a decline or no change (e.g. Ontario, Prince Edward Island). Several factors may have contributed to the low numbers and trends in BFHI designation, including the COVID-19 pandemic, lack of BFHI implementation in hospital accreditation requirements, and the dispersed efforts towards BFHI-related activities. These results underscore the urgent need for enhanced implementation of the BFHI across Canada.

Published: November 2023

Active learning is a powerful teaching and learning approach that enhances students' capacity to construct understanding and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. However, in university science classes, lectures remain the predominant method employed by instructors, primarily due to time constraints and limited familiarity with active learning strategies. This study aimed to explore practical guidelines for implementing active learning in undergraduate polymer science classrooms, as well as the perspectives of instructors and students on this approach and student satisfaction with active learning. The research involved two instructors and 34 second-year students from the Faculty of Science at a university based in Bangkok, Thailand. Data were collected through classroom observation, a student satisfaction questionnaire, and instructor and student interviews. Data were analyzed quantitatively, using means and standard deviations, as well as qualitatively, using content analysis. The study identified four practical guidelines for implementing active learning in the undergraduate polymer science classroom, which are: using a variety of active learning strategies and techniques that match the nature of students; providing helpful learning media and technology; using higher-level questioning to promote thinking processes; and linking authentic assessment and constructive feedback with real-life situations. These four guidelines proved effective for both on-site and online forms of learning. Furthermore, the students expressed very high satisfaction levels (M = 4.64, SD = 0.49) and positive opinions regarding active learning.

Published: November 2023

Assessment is an essential resource for guaranteeing quality education. In order for it to be effective, it must be continuous, formative and adapted to the characteristics of the individual student, so that it shows their abilities. Students with Down Syndrome benefit from these aspects, as they can demonstrate their achievements and difficulties in different ways. This article analyses these approaches and brings together the suggestions of 14 experts, in the field of education for students with Down Syndrome, from three different countries, 5 members of Belgium and Spain, and 4 members of Ireland. Through the instrumental case study and focus discussions of the experts, using the Delphi method, a series of basic aspects are established on the most appropriate methods and evaluation tools for the target group. In the analysis the experts agreed on three key aspects (with scores of three out of three): maintaining high expectations of students' potential, encouraging self-evaluation, and enabling students controlling their own learning process. The group of experts proposes the use of a learning register or portfolio as a method of assessment for students with Down Syndrome.
Middle Eocene (Lutetian-Bartonian) larger benthic foraminifera assemblages from Batman and Siirt (Southern Neotethys, SE Turkey): a new assessment
Authors: Sinanoglu Derya
Published: November 2023

The benthic foraminifera assemblage has been described in the limestones outcropped in Kurtalan and Eruh district of Hoya formation which is one of autochthonous units of Arabian Platform (SE Turkey). From the two measured sections, one of them has rare fossil content due to dolomitization (DH-Dodan section),while the other is fairly remarkable in terms of fossil content (EH-Eruh section). The foraminiferal assemblages are represented by Asterigerina rotula (Kaufmann), Operculina ex. gr. gomezi Colom and Bauza, Victoriella conoidea Rutten, Amphistegina sp., Elphidium sp., Peneroplis sp., Carpenteria sp., Stomatorbina sp., miliolid and rotaliid forms and echinoderms, coral fragments in the Dodan section. The foraminiferal assemblages are represented by Nummulites biedai Schaub, Nummulites maximus d’Archiac, Nummulites perforatus de Montfort, Nummulites postfossulatus Sirel and Deveciler, Nummulites praeaturicus Schaub, Assilina exponens (Sowerby), Sphaerogypsina globulus (Reuss), Asterigerina rotula (Kaufmann), Lockhartia cf. hunti Ovey, Neoratlia sp., Operculina sp., Discocyclina sp., Asterocyclina sp., Lockhartia sp., Lenticulina sp., miliolid-rotaliid forms and echinoderms in the Eruh section. The fossil assemblage described shows that the limestones are of Lutetian-Bartonian and this assemblage indicates a very shallow marine deposition environment. This study provides biostratigraphic and stratigraphic data that help to reassess the Eocene geological evolution of the region. Paleobiogeographically, larger benthic foraminiferal assemblages recorded on carbonate platforms in southeastern Turkey show an affinity to Arabian and Middle Eastern platforms.
Lower Miocene quantitative calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy from the Tropical Atlantic
Authors: Albasrawi Waheed A. , Watkins David K.
Published: November 2023

Quantitative analysis of the lower Miocene of Ocean Drilling Program Hole 959A from the West African margin was performed to document all the calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphic events present. Combined with data from previous investigations of the lower Miocene from the tropical Atlantic, this research identifies and tests the viability of markers used in current zonation schemes, recognizes alternative markers for age boundaries, and examines statistically the most probable order of events in the lower Miocene using the Ranking and Scaling method (RASC). In Hole 959A, all major zonal and subzonal boundaries from CN1 to CN4 were identified, except for the boundary between Subzones CN1a and CN1b, using primary and secondary markers from the Okada and Bukry (1980) zonation. In addition, all age boundaries from the Chattian to Langhian stages were recognized or closely estimated using the calcareous nannoplankton markers. The resultant list of events extracted from Hole 959Aalong with events from other seven sites were examined biostratigraphically using RASC. A well threshold of four was selected as an appropriate control parameter, resulting in 22 events in the optimum sequence, 13 of which had a low standard deviation. Furthermore, interpolation of ages of events using Age/Depth model for Hole 959A was examined. The extracted ages provided a reasonable preliminary age estimate for the secondary events.
The stratigraphy and stratigraphic nomenclature of the Goochland Terrane in the piedmont province of east-central Virginia
Authors: Weems Robert E. , Robbins Eleanora I.
Published: November 2023

The Goochland terrane is a structurally isolated crustal block in the eastern Piedmont of Virginia. It is composed of the previously named State Farm Gneiss, Montpelier Anorthosite, Sabot Amphibolite, and Maidens Gneiss, but also includes the Scotchtown Gneiss, Teman Gneiss, and Old Bandana Gneiss which are formally named and defined herein. The eastern part of the Goochland terrane is antiformal and cored by Mesoproterozoic rocks (the State Farm Gneiss and the Montpelier Anorthosite). These basement units are overlain by a late Neoproterozoic to early Paleozoic (Ediacaran to Early Cambrian) saprolitic, metavolcanic, and metasedimentary sequence that sequentially includes the Scotchtown Gneiss, Sabot Amphibolite and Maidens Gneiss. The western part of the terrane is synformal and includes in its core two additional units that overlie the Maidens Gneiss: the Teman Gneiss and the Old Bandana Gneiss. Based on mineralogy and zircon grain morphology, the protoliths of the Maidens, Teman, and Old Bandana gneisses were predominantly sedimentary rocks. The protoliths of the Teman Gneiss and Old Bandana Gneiss were deposited unconformably upon the protolith of the Maidens Gneiss. The eastern and western parts of the Goochland terrane are separated by the Dabneys fault, which has considerable east-side-up vertical offset and possibly also significant transverse displacement. Correlation of the upper part of the Goochland terrane (Teman and Old Bandana gneisses) with the Setters and Cockeysville gneisses in the Baltimore region suggests that the Goochland terrane was left about 135 miles (ca. 220 km) southwest of its original North American location, which was to the east of Baltimore, Maryland. This displacement was caused by the oblique collision of the eastern North American continent with the western edge of the Gondwanan craton during the later Carboniferous (Pennsylvanian) Period.

Poultry production system plays an important economic, nutritional and socio-cultural role in the livelihood of households in Delta State, Nigeria. Our present knowledge of the effect of climate change variables on poultry sub sector is significantly inadequate, unclear and thus attracting empirical investigation in recent times. This study drives its significance from the current global and national debates on climate change and its impact on livestock production system, particularly among poultry production systems. This study investigates the effects of climate change variables on poultry production system in Delta State, Nigeria (2008 -2018). A ten year (2008-2018) time series data were collected on climate variables (temperature, humidity rainfall and sunshine duration) were elicited from NIMET website. Also 10 year time series data on poultry egg and broiler production were collected from FAOSTAT. Collected data were analysed with the relevant statistical tools (descriptive statistics and inferential statistics). The result shows that poultry meat output range from 26,000 to 273000 tonnes with a mean of 200,738.63 tonnes. Poultry egg output ranges between 489,288 tonnes to 660,000 with a mean of 591,327.45 tonnes. Multiple regression result shows that climate variable s explained 60.2% of the variation in poultry production. Test of hypothesis reveals that temperature and rainfall are the most significant climate variable (P≤0.05) that influenced poultry production. It was recommended that strategic climate change actions such as regulating poultry house temperature, should be practiced by poultry farmers in order to generate better output of eggs and broiler.

Everyone should understand the importance of planting trees from an early age. Planting trees so far, without realizing it, is only a ceremony or a trivial activity without meaning. In fact, there are many benefits to planting trees, not only for humans but for all living things around them. The existence of trees is currently very important in overcoming pollution, both pollution due to motorized vehicles and pollution from factories, especially in densely populated cities. The following are the benefits, goals, and functions of planting trees for the survival of humans, animals, and the environment. The benefits of planting trees are that they can store rainwater and maintain water reserves in the soil. Trees have a mechanism for storing water in the soil. The roots of the tree will absorb water from the soil for their own needs in carrying out photosynthesis. The purpose of planting trees is to improve the function of the forest while at the same time improving the environment, Because this is an inheritance for posterity, we should plant as many trees as possible. The function of trees for air is that they will clean the air from pollutants and produce oxygen, which we will later inhale when we breathe. Trees also play a role in reducing the greenhouse effect caused by carbon dioxide gases in the atmosphere.
