Advances in neural radiance fields (NeRF) have revolutionized the field of 3D scene reconstruction, enabling high-fidelity rendering of complex environments from sparse input data. However, the ability to edit and manipulate such scenes remains a significant challenge. This work introduces an innovative approach to instruction-based image editing by leveraging the capabilities of InstructDiffusion and Lang-SAM models. By combining these models, the system enables precise and context-aware edits to real-world images based on natural language instructions. The core methodology involves an iterative dataset update process where images are rendered from NeRF scenes, updated using diffusion models, and used to supervise scene reconstruction. This approach allows for targeted and localized edits, enabling tasks such as object addition, removal, and replacement while optimizing the underlying 3D scene. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through compelling qualitative results, showcasing its versatility and ability to achieve diverse and complex image edits.

Published: February 2025

Capturing learners' attention in the classroom has become challenging. Learners have different learning styles influencing their attitude towards learning processes and contents. Serious Games (SG) are rich and promising learning tools that have been introduced to support a new form of gamified learning, mainly to enhance students' engagement and motivation. Such games facilitate learning because they generate enthusiasm and are part of a learning-by-doing experience. This study analyzes the role of learning styles and motivation on learner cognitive engagement and performance when using SG. Answers from 188 users of a serious game conducted in KEDGE Business School were analyzed. The findings show that learning goals have a strong positive effect on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The paper reveals that learning styles have a significant impact upon both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The latter is also influenced by learning styles as is cognitive engagement. Finally, the future research directions are presented.

Published: February 2025

Background:

Gold is the oldest dental restorative material, used for dental repairs for more than 4000 years, and remains an important metal included in the dental sector. In a world where nanoparticle importance has been well established and preparation of nanoparticles has become much easier, it is important to assess if these nanoparticles can be extracted from plants as well. Along with its extraction, analysis of each property of the nanoparticle is essential. Pepper and eucalyptus remain two of the most important ingredients used in ayurveda and can be easily found as a component in everyday consumption.

Aim:

This study was to extract gold nanoparticles using eucalyptus and piper longum and evaluate the antibacterial activity of the derived gold nanoparticles.

Materials and Methodology:

Preparation of plant extract was done following which extraction of gold nanoparticles was performed. Antibacterial properties of the gold nanoparticles were tested by well diffusion method and compared against the antibacterial gold standard, antibiotic amoxicillin. After 24 hours, the zone of inhibitions was measured in millimeters and the data were compiled.

Results:

The resultant green synthesized gold nanoparticles show high antibacterial activity against S. albicans, and a fair amount of antibacterial activity against S. mutans, S. aureus, and E. faecalis, which was revealed by comparing the zone of inhibition to the gold standard, amoxicillin 500 mg.

Conclusion:

Gold nanoparticles were found to have good antimicrobial activity.
Gorakhpur experience of Japanese Encephalitis Management: A Successful One Health Approach
Authors: Dwivedi Gaurav Raj , Mishra Ayush , Singh Ayush , Singh Himmat , Kant Rajni , Mishra Nalini
Published: February 2025

The Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV), a zoonotic flavivirus, is responsible for infecting humans and inducing reproductive complications in swine, with transmission primarily facilitated by mosquitoes. Predominantly observed in Southeast Asia, Japanese encephalitis (JE) primarily circulates between amplifying hosts, notably swine, and culicine mosquitoes, particularly Culex tritaeniorhynchus. The wading birds are the reservoir host of this disease. Utilizing real time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) presents a potential approach for detecting JEV in mosquito populations. Manifesting primarily within the central nervous system, JEV infection can instigate severe inflammation, contributing significantly to mortality rates, notable in India, especially in Uttar Pradesh, where JE poses a substantial public health concern. The initial instances of JE in Indian territories were recorded in 1955 in the southern provinces of Vellore and Puducherry, and in 1978 in the northern regions. Uttar Pradesh, among the 24 states endemic to JE, accounted for over 75% of reported cases in the past year. The geographical landscape of Gorakhpur, characterized by low topography, susceptibility to flooding, heavy precipitation, paddy cultivation and silt accumulation in riverbeds, creates favorable conditions for mosquito breeding and subsequent JEV transmission. Recent data from National Centre for Vector Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC) in Delhi indicates a decline in acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) and JE cases in Uttar Pradesh including Gorakhpur which has been the hot bed for JE/AES. Effective coordination across diverse sectors supported by evidenced based research by ICMR in Gorakhpur played an important role under comprehensive multi-sectoral “One Health Approach”, which helped significantly in mitigating the disease burden with more than 90% reduction in morbidity and mortality. This article assesses the current scenario, key intervention measures, ongoing initiatives, and underscores the significance of adopting a One Health Approach in combating JE/AES as a “Gorakhpur experience” to be implemented in other parts of the country and elsewhere.

Behçet’s syndrome (BS) is a complex, relapsing inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology, distinguished by its unique geographic distribution and severe disease course, particularly among young males. It would be difficult to include BS in a specific disease classification system. Unlike classical vasculitides, BS predominantly affects veins, with a pronounced tendency for thrombosis, whereas arterial involvement is less common. Histopathological evaluations of many major organs highlight a neutrophil-dominant inflammatory response, particularly around the venules, without the granulomas, fibrinoid necrosis, or immune complex deposition characteristic of other vasculitides. Pathogenesis involves heightened innate immunity, with neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular trap formation contributing to vascular inflammation and thrombosis. Further complicating its classification, BS shares overlapping features with autoinflammatory conditions, spondyloarthropathies, and more recently, MHC-I-opathies. The term “syndrome” is often preferred by experts to reflect its diverse clinical phenotypes, suggesting again the heterogeneous nature of the disease. This review aims to discuss the problems with these classifications, particularly within the spectrum of systemic vasculitides.
Ciclos de catástrofes: Creación (Met.1.76-88) y muerte del hombre en la Peste de Egina (Met. 7.552-613)
Authors: Grimozzi Chiara
Published: February 2025

En el libro 7 de Metamorfosis Ovidio incluye el mito griego de la peste de Egina, en el que el hombre, su enfermedad y muerte son predominantes. Esta pestilencia se enmarca en una serie de catástrofes naturales que se estructuran cíclicamente (cosmos-caos-cosmos). En este episodio, el caos se desata con una peste enviada por Juno contra la población de Egina y se retorna al cosmos con una nueva estirpe, los mirmidones. El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en analizar la creación del hombre al inicio de la obra (Met. 1.76-88) y relacionarla con su muerte a través de la peste (Met. 7.552-613). La pérdida de su posición erecta inicial y la consecuente disolución de su identidad a causa de la enfermedad transformarán al hombre de un ser estable, completo y creado a partir de tres elementos cósmicos en un cuerpo desintegrado y listo para morir en cualquiera de ellos.
La construcción de una nave: intergenericidad y masculinidad épica en Argonáuticas 1.121-148 de Valerio Flaco
Authors: Palacios Jimena
Published: February 2025

Argonáuticas es un poema épico latino producido durante el reinado de Vespasiano (69–96). Es la única obra, inconclusa, que conservamos de su autor, Valerio Flaco. La épica de Valerio tiene como modelos no solo las Argonáuticas del poeta griego Apolonio de Rodas, sino también la Eneida del poeta latino Virgilio. Asimismo, Valerio Flaco entabla dinámicas de apropiación con muchas otras producciones grecolatinas que cubren un amplio espectro de géneros literarios, por ejemplo, el Carmen 64 de Catulo. En este entramado, se destaca la presentación de la nave Argo (1.120-148). Esta presentación es una innovación del poeta latino respecto de su modelo griego. Visto que la crítica ha reconocido la dimensión metagenérica del poema, sostenemos que Valerio Flaco constituye la nave Argo como una figura de intergenericidad y como un emblema de la heroicidad colectiva que caracteriza a las representaciones de la masculinidad de esta épica postvirgiliana.
Paramahamsa Yogānanda y su lectura de la Bhagavadgītā
Authors: Pedace María Luz , Gutiérrez Daniel
Published: February 2025

La Bhagavadgītā forma parte del Mahābhārata, poema épico indio que narra la lucha por el poder dinástico entre los clanes Kaurava y Pāṇḍava, pertenecientes a la familia de los Bharata. El texto, que representa los instantes previos de la batalla en Kurukṣetra, posee la singularidad de que Kṛṣṇa se revela a Arjuna para instruirlo, como preludio del combate, en la ciencia del yoga. De entre la cantidad de traducciones y comentarios que existen del poema, una de las más peculiares y originales es la que ofrece el yogi y guru indio Paramahaṃsa Yogānanda (1893-1952), cuya traducción, lectura e interpretación del texto desarrolla, recuperando los tópicos del género épico –héroes, dioses, batallas–, una práctica de elevación espiritual denominada kriyā yoga.
Odisea 8: El aedo canta. Performance poética y develamiento, auto-reconocimiento y asunción de la identidad heroica e histórica
Authors: Rivas Ezequiel Gustavo
Published: February 2025

La hipótesis de lectura que proponemos sostiene que la performance de Demódoco es el punto culminante de un proceso de asunción de identidad heroica como representante de una comunidad por parte de Odiseo, iniciado en los albores del nóstos en el canto 5. En efecto, el canto 8 de Odisea se constituye como un momento de inflexión necesaria en el decurso narrativo del poema, puesto que el héroe toma conciencia de sí y asume su pasado en todas sus dimensiones: el presente de la performance poética de Demódoco lo inserta en el devenir de la historia de los hombres (χρόνος) y le devuelve esa identidad olvidada en los brazos de Calipso (αἰών), al tiempo que posibilita la recuperación y re-apropiación de una memoria personal que se percibe, a la vez, como experiencia comunitaria. De este modo, la épica reclama para sí la historia y marca un contexto de identidad. Odiseo se enfrenta al καιρός, el tiempo puntal y único en que debe asumir un protagonismo que sea significativo para los suyos (HARTOG, 2022): es el instante de la anagnórisis como ‘proceso’ (ZECCHIN DE FASSANO, 2004) y mise en abyme de todo el poema (RINON, 2006).
La Pietas de Turno en Eneida de Virgilio
Authors: Bogdan Guillermina
Published: February 2025

Las principales líneas de investigación dividen el estudio de Eneida en dos grandes ramas: aquella que considera la manifestación en la obra de una posición proaugustea, cuyo objetivo es destacar el triunfo del Imperio, y aquella que lee en el texto críticas al régimen político de Augusto. El argumento central de esta última, considerada pesimista, es el estudio de la última escena, en la que Eneas no puede controlar el furor y mata a Turno. Este enfoque ve el acto como una negación de las celebraciones del victorioso orden del Imperio. Sostiene la idea de que el furor vence a la pietas; en él podemos incluir los trabajos de PUTNAM (1965), BOYLE (1972) y LYNE (1987), entre otros. Dentro de la visión proaugustea más clara tenemos la posición de POWEL (2008), que en su controvertida obra Virgil the partisan propone que el mantuano expandió las acepciones de pietas para poder identificarlas con las acciones de Octaviano–Augusto, antes y después de Accio. De esa forma, la pietas de Eneas en el último duelo se relacionaría con las acciones del triunviro en las proscripciones y en su régimen. Nuestro trabajo procura cambiar el enfoque del héroe troyano al rútulo. Así, estudiamos la representación de la pietas en Turno a lo largo de la segunda parte del poema para determinar la responsabilidad de su consecuencia final. Para ello, tendremos en cuenta las acepciones del término y sus manifestaciones rituales.
La piedad y la impiedad en las plegarias bélicas de Eneas y Turno en Eneida de Virgilio (10.251-255 Y 12.95-100)
Authors: Malpere María Bernarda
Published: February 2025

La caracterización de personajes de Eneida como piadosos o impíos ha sido extensamente analizada por la crítica, con una especial relevancia en la figura de Eneas. En el marco de este tipo de investigaciones, nuestro trabajo se propone explorar la piedad de Eneas frente a la impiedad de Turno específicamente en sus plegarias bélicas. Para ello, seleccionamos dos plegarias: la primera, de Eneas, perteneciente a 10.251-255, en la que el troyano suplica a Cibeles; la segunda, de Turno, perteneciente a 12.95-100, en la que el rútulo realiza un pedido a su lanza. Nuestro objetivo es, entonces, realizar una comparación entre ambas plegarias, analizando su introducción en la obra, su estructura, su destinatario y su contenido. Sostenemos que estas plegarias de Eneas y Turno dan razón de sus identidades en relación con la religio, al tiempo que ejemplifican intenciones contrarias en relación con la pax deorum: mientras que la plegaria de Eneas es coherente con su construcción a lo largo de la obra, basada en su piedad e interés en lo colectivo por sobre el éxito personal, la plegaria de Turno, por el contrario, se presenta como un ejemplo de impiedad, centrada únicamente en el logro individual.

Published: February 2025

Di Indonesia, pengelolaan sampah adalah subjek yang sedang diperdebatkan. Polusi disebabkan oleh melonjaknya jumlah sampah yang tidak diimbangi oleh pengelolaan sampah. Problem pengelolaan sampah menjadi sangat penting di banyak tempat, termasuk di Kabupaten Jember. Salah satunya adalah kewenangan penyidik pegawai negeri sipil untuk melakukan penegakan hukum lingkungan dan sanksi yang kurang efektif untuk melakukan efek jera. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui seberapa efektif Perda Nomor 2 Tahun 2023 tentang Pengelolaan Sampah terhadap pengelolaan sampah di Kabupaten Jember dan mengapa penyidik pegawai negeri sipil di Kabupaten Jember gagal melaksanakan penegakan peraturan tersebut. Penelitian yuridis sosiologis menggunakan metode perundang-undangan dan konseptual. Sumber data diperoleh secara langsung melalui wawancara dengan narasumber dan responden. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa Perda No. 2 tahun 2023 tidak efektif dalam pengelolaan sampah. Kinerja yang buruk Satpol PP sebagai lembaga penegak hukum adalah penyebabnya. Sampah umumnya dianggap oleh pemerintah. Ini menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat tidak memahami proses pengelolaan sampah. Selain itu, Dinas Lingkungan Hidup Kabupaten Jember bekerja sama dengan penyidik pegawai negeri sipil karena tidak memiliki penyelidik sendiri.
Implementasi Pasal 9 Huruf E Terkait Setiap Pedagang Kaki Lima Dilarang Berkegiatan Usaha Menggunakan Kendaraan Bermotor Berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Jember Nomor 6 Tahun 2008 Tentang Pedagang Kaki Lima
Authors: Imami Reza , Fauziyah
Published: February 2025

Pedagang kaki lima beroperasi di sektor yang tidak terorganisir dengan tujuan mencari nafkah untuk diri mereka sendiri.  Sebagian PKL menggunakan pikulan, gerobak dorong, atau kendaraan bermotor, sedangkan sebagian lainnya lebih banyak berpindah-pindah.  Menurut Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Jember Pasal 9 huruf e Nomor 6 Tahun 2008, setiap pedagang kaki lima dilarang menggunakan kendaraan bermotor untuk keperluan usaha.  Berdasarkan Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Jember Nomor 6 Tahun 2008 Tentang Pedagang Kaki Lima, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana Pasal 9 huruf e yang melarang setiap pedagang kaki lima untuk melakukan kegiatan usaha dengan menggunakan kendaraan bermotor diimplementasikan.  Sumber data primer meliputi wawancara dan data sekunder dari kepustakaan, dan metodologi penelitian menggunakan penelitian yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini yaitu implementasi Pasal 9 huruf e Peraturan Daerah Kabupaten Jember Nomor 6 Tahun 2008 tentang Pedagang Kaki Lima belum terealisasi, karena instansi terkait tidak pernah melakukan penindakan kepada pelaku UMKM yang melanggar Pasal 9 huruf e. Hal ini mengindikasikan adanya kelemahan dalam implementasi peraturan, baik karena kurangnya koordinasi, terbatasnya sumber daya, maupun kebijakan internal yang belum berpihak kepada UMKM.  Keputusan untuk tidak menindak pelaku UMKM dapat mencerminkan bahwa struktur hukum memiliki kendala operasional atau kebijakan yang bertentangan dengan peraturan daerah.

Authors: Candido Mariana de Oliveira , Nogueira Lenita Waldige
Published: February 2025

Carlos Gomes pode ser considerado, no contexto cultural e histórico em que sua trajetória musical inscreve-se, o principal compositor brasileiro de seu tempo. No campo das representações, sua imagem de artista também obteve grande repercussão no Brasil e em sua cidade natal, Campinas, nos séculos XIX e XX. Nessa cidade, durante os anos 1930, a Sociedade Symphonica Campineira, enquanto instituição musical, estabeleceu um interessante diálogo com a figura do compositor conterrâneo. O artigo busca identificar as formas de representação e de preservação da memória de Gomes através da orquestra sinfônica local em seu repertório e textos, a partir das referências e memórias do músico até então construídas na cidade e no país.

Carlos Henrique Hunsche em torno de Wagner no contexto das relações político-culturais Brasil-Alemanha, 1933–1945
Authors: Vidal João
Published: February 2025

Publicado em 1939, o ensaio Richard Wagner und Brasilien do teuto-brasileiro Carlos Henrique Hunsche foi recepcionado no Brasil de forma tão discreta quanto intensa. O significado histórico-cultural da documentação relacionada aos contatos de D. Pedro II e Ferreira França Filho com Wagner, apresentada em primeira mão por Hunsche como anexo ao texto, foi reconhecido e discutido por Feder (1943), Lacombe (1944), Mariz (1988), Bispo (2014a) e, em um contexto mais amplamente latino-americano, Stevenson (1983). Pouca atenção foi dada, porém, à figura do próprio Hunsche, que com seus enunciados insere-se em processos político-culturais de mais amplas dimensões. Quem é Hunsche, e porque diz o que diz, no momento e no lugar em que o faz, e com que interesses: é o que o estudo a seguir procura esclarecer.

This study aims to examine the relationship between childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction among survivors of childhood abuse. The research employed a quantitative correlational method with a sample of 115 survivors aged 20–30 years from Tenggilis Mejoyo District, Surabaya. Data were collected using three Likert scales measuring childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction. The results showed a significant negative correlation between childhood maltreatment and relationship satisfaction (t = -5.747, p<0,05), indicating that higher levels of adverse childhood experiences are associated with lower relationship satisfaction. Conversely, a significant positive correlation was found between perception of a partner and relationship satisfaction (t = 4.884, p<0,05), suggesting that a more positive perception of a partner is linked to higher relationship satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship between childhood maltreatment, perception of a partner, and relationship satisfaction (F = 54.697, p<0.05). Together, childhood maltreatment and perception of a partner contributed 49.9% to relationship satisfaction. This indicates that childhood experiences and perceptions of a partner significantly influence the level of satisfaction in relationships.

This work aims to demonstrate that linguistic acts often constitute false executions, diverging from the established rules of a linguistic game or the maxims of
cooperation. Enunciation, in this sense, relies heavily on assumptions of ambiguity and vagueness, functioning primarily through an indeterminate inferential
mechanism. Were this not the case, we would be compelled to exclude from discourse a significant number of linguistic forms that deviate from established
classifications. Drawing on Austin’s concept of illocutionary force and conditions of happiness, as presented in his Harvard lectures, and integrating Grice’s
analysis of logic and conversation, particularly his focus on implicature, this study highlights how certain assertive-representative expressions—despite their
scientific inaccuracy—can still induce behavioral changes in recipients. By examining the performative nature of language and the dynamics of inference,
we aim to shed light on how speakers navigate these linguistic ambiguities, offering a more comprehensive understanding of communication’s practical
functions in real-world contexts. In doing so, we challenge traditional boundaries of linguistic theory, suggesting that the role of inference and expectation
is more central to communication than previously acknowledged.

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of digital library systems among undergraduate students in federal universities in southwestern Nigeria. Despite the availability of digital library resources, many students continue to rely on traditional libraries, suggesting the need for a deeper understanding of their perceptions and experiences regarding digital libraries. The research aims to identify barriers and facilitators affecting students' engagement with digital libraries, focusing on various factors: system characteristics, relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, observability, and trialability. A descriptive survey was employed, with proportionate stratified random sampling across six universities in southwestern Nigeria. Data were collected from undergraduate students in these institutions to gain insights into their use and attitudes toward digital libraries. Data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics to determine the significance of various factors influencing digital library adoption. The study revealed that relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, observability, trialability, and system characteristics had significant influences on the adoption of digital library systems. The weighted mean scores were as follows: relative advantage (3.01), compatibility (2.88), complexity (2.91), observability (2.97), trialability (2.91), and system characteristics (F(1, 305) = 556.375, p < 0.05). The analysis showed significant correlations between perceived benefits (relative advantage) and usage rates of digital library systems. Challenges were also identified, particularly related to system complexity and compatibility with existing academic practices. The study concludes with recommendations for educational institutions, librarians, and policymakers to enhance digital library accessibility and user engagement. Addressing the identified factors can support universities in helping students maximize the potential of digital resources, ultimately improving their academic success.

The purpose of this research is to explore knowledge sharing, digital competence, collaboration and effective service delivery by research librarians and academics in state-owned colleges of education in Delta State, Nigeria. There were three hypotheses, three research questions, and three overall goals for the study. The hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance. Twenty-four librarians from two state-owned colleges of education in Delta State (Warri and Mosoga) were surveyed using a correlational survey research design. Twenty-four librarians constituted the sample of the study. A questionnaire entitled "Knowledge Sharing, Digital Competence, Collaboration and Effective Service Delivery by Librarians and Questionnaire (KSDCCEDSLQ). The reliability analysis using Cronbach's alpha showed a correlation coefficient of 0.75. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was used to test hypotheses. Key findings revealed a positive attitude towards knowledge sharing among the participants. Collaborative efforts, information exchange, and teamwork were identified as essential components for knowledge dissemination. Various levels of digital competence were revealed among the participants, with some demonstrating high proficiency in using digital tools and resources, while others indicated a need for further training and development. Strengthening digital literacy initiatives was identified as a crucial aspect of professional development. Effective service delivery was identified as a pivotal concern for both research librarians and academics. Timely access to resources, user-friendly platforms, and personalized assistance were highlighted as key elements in meeting the diverse demands of the academic community. Recommendations include, enhancing digital competence through targeted training programs, providing ongoing support and resources, and conducting regular assessments to identify areas for improvement in service delivery

This paper is an overview of the influence of academic social networking sites and management policy on research productivity of library and information science lecturers in Nigerian universities which was anchored on two specific objectives. The paper examined issues relating to the influences of the use of academic social networking sites on research productivity of lecturers identified include: management of an online persona, diffusion of studies, collaboration, information management, and measurement of impact. outcomes of the study showed the influence of management policy on lecturers’ research productivity to thus include: organisation’s research objectives; decentralization; leadership; support for research; policy regimes to motivate lecturers' research activities; and resources. It uses the conceptual and documentary method by using the various related literature to achieve the two stated objectives. Based on the identified factors, the paper recommends the LIS Lecturers commitment to utlisation of academic social networking sites for research visibility and formulation of management timely review of university policies on research productivity of the lecturers among others. The paper conclude that academic social networking sites and university management policies impact research output by LIS lecturers, influencing visibility and encouraging research. And recommends creating social environments that are appropriate for academic purposes networking sites and implementing management policies to make research output more visible. Academic staff should actively utilize academic social networking for research productivity, acquiring necessary ICT and information literacy skills. University administration should also establish guidelines requiring LIS instructors to have profiles on these platforms, benefiting both the university and the instructors.

Rubber plants (Hevea brasiliensis) will experience a decrease in production as plants age and the nutrient content in the soil decreases. This study aims to find out the chemical properties of soil on plantations of rubber crops that are converted into palm and coconut crops. The research was conducted from October 2023 to January 2024 at the palm coconut plantation of PTPN III Aek Nabara North Garden in Labuhanbatu district and analyzed in the Land Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Northern Sumatra. The methods used are observation methods, field sampling, and analysis in the laboratory to obtain quantitative data. Observation parameters include soil pH, C-organic, Total Nitrogen, Available P, Cation Interchange Capacity, and Base Fulness. The results of the survey showed that the level of soil fertility at the site of the research was included in the low category. The main limiting factor that causes the low fertility of the soil is the low content of organic material in the soil. In order to improve the fertility status of the ground at the research site for further planting, it is necessary to make efforts such as irrigation and fertilization, as well as the addition of organic materials, to make the availability of nutrients for plants more affordable.

Spawn quality is an important factor that affects the final yield in mushroom production. As most mushroom spawns are in the form of cereals, wheat grain, sorghum and corn seeds that are used as a carrier for growth of mushroom mycelium. Inoculation of the grain spawn into media bags is an essential process. This inoculation process requires skill and focus to avoid contamination and wastage of time and material. Pellet spawn can be made by using sawdust, rice straw or wood (dowel) as carrier. This makes it simple to hold and inoculate due to its firm form instead of using grain spawn. Strains of selected edible mushrooms such as Pleurotus pulmonaris, Pleurotus florida and Schizophyllum commune are cultivated with wood pellet for mycelia colonisation. Mycelium colonisation on pellet (pellet spawn) is used for inoculation into substrate bag. The cost of pellet spawn production is 30% cheaper in mass production instead of grain spawn. The inoculation of pellet spawn into mushroom bag substrate are relatively easier and faster compared to use of grain spawn. Moreover, innoculation time on each bag could be reduced up to 40% compared with the conventional method. The production and use of pellet spawn among mushroom growers are still rare. Due to this, the use of pellet spawn is seen as an easy innoculation alternative, efficient and practical to mushroom growers.
