The experiment simulated the logistical transportation of Penaeus monodon. It set four distinct gradient Vitamin C (Vc) addition levels, including 0mg/L, 111mg/L, 222mg/L, and 333mg/L, to investigate the impact of Vc on the anti-stress ability of P. monodon during transportation. And the survival rate following transportation and a 15-day interim rearing period were recorded. Moreover, the alterations in tissue structure and activity of the enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and total superoxide dismutase (T-AOC) were checked. The results showed that with the increase of Vc supplemental level, the survival rate of P. monodon after transportation and after 15 days of temporary rearing increased to varying degrees. ACP and AKP in the hepatopancreas increased first and then decreased. T-SOD activity in the 0mg/L group was the lowest and then decreased gradually. The activity of total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) in the 0mg/L group was the lowest and then stabilized. The branchial tissue structure also changed. The branchial tissue blood cell disorder decreased, the diaphragm gradually narrowed, the cornered cortex gradually recovered, and the swelling decreased. In conclusion, Vc positively affects the survival rate of P. monodon after transportation and temporary cultivation and alleviates the stress of P. monodon. The amount of Vc added at about 333mg/Lin, the transportation of P. monodon could play a positive role. The experimental results provide primary data for the transportation of P. monodon.
Expanded Perspectives on Social Transformation in Brazil
Authors: Sampaio Michelle
Published: June 2023

This commentary presents a broader perspective on the paper Psychopolitical foresensing for social transformation (PFST): theoretical reflections for action research in Brazil towards the SDGs. It is generally accepted that the current path of capitalism is accelerating the planetary climate crisis and social inequality and is bringing an individual and collective feeling of frustration.Cimini and Homem’s brings in their paper a proposal in tackle this frustration feeling through advancing the theory of change (ToC) concept by creating a framework for an action research project based on awareness-based systems change (ABSC). I highlight three relevant contexts to Brazil to be considered in their action research project: i. Decolonization and good living: concepts in Brazil’s current transformation mindset; ii. Nature-based solutions: the value of socio-biocultural diversity in Brazil; and iii. Practical experience on building a participatory ToC for the Amazon. Cimini and Homem’s proposed journey on PFST aiming to expand on ToCs approach by adding ABSC methodologies using presence-sense-reconnection, seems to be a path to integrate inner and out change with social and cultural transformation. They have a great opportunity, combined with a challenge, to plant a seed in leaders and changemakers in expanding their views of how impact can be generated. They can be bold in the PFST journey by enhancing awareness and actions, going beyond the SDGs, and bringing light to Brazil’s position as a global leader in nature-based solutions to face climate change.

Published: June 2023

Alfalfa is the most planted perennial legume in the world due to its high nutritive value, protein content, productivity, and digestibility in addition to high vitamin and mineral content. It is also one of the hardest plants to ensile owing to its low reducible sugar and dry matter (DM) contents and high buffering capacity. In this study, the effects of inoculation with Lactobacillus bifermentans which is homofermentative and Lactobacillus brevis which is heterofermentative on the silage fermentation of different DM containing alfalfa forage. Alfalfa forages were unwilted, or wilted for 9 or 24 hours in order to achieve low (L), moderate (M) and high (H) DM contents. As a result of the research, it was determined that wilting improved the fermentation properties, decreased the pH value, and increased dry matter recovery. Microbial inoculation decreased the pH value, increased the dry matter recovery, and decreased the number of undesirable enterobacteria in silage. As a result of the research, it was determined that the wilting and inoculation should be applied for successful fermentation of alfalfa silage. It was also determined that inoculation with L. bifermentans gave the highest crude protein (CP) content while L. brevis gave the highest dry matter recovery (DMR).

Communication, Social Norms, and the Intention to Get Vaccinated Against Covid-19
Authors: Geber Sarah , Ho Shirley S. , Ou Mengxue
Published: June 2023

Social norms are a promising factor for pandemic control, as they motivate people to engage in preventive behaviours. However, little is known about the influence of perceived social norms on the intention to get vaccinated against Covid-19 and the role of communication in shaping such normative perceptions. Moreover, despite the pandemic’s global scale, a cross-cultural perspective is scant in research on Covid-19 preventive behaviour. The present study examined the relationships between communication (i.e., attention to mass media and social media), social norms (i.e., perceived norms in the population and personal environment), and people’s intention to get vaccinated against Covid-19 using a cross-national survey in Singapore (N = 998) and Switzerland (N = 1,022). Multigroup structural equation modelling revealed that attention to mass media was positively correlated with perceived norms in both countries, whereas attention to social media was correlated with normative perceptions only in Singapore. Normative perceptions regarding the population and personal environment were positively correlated with vaccination intention in Singapore. However, in Switzerland, only perceived norms in the personal environment were positively related to vaccination intention. The results are discussed against the background of both countries’ media systems and cultural values (i.e., individualism/collectivism) and are instructive for norms-based interventions in times of crises.

Objective: To determine the factors for hesitancy and uptake of coronavirus disease-2019 vaccine, and to compare perinatal outcomes in vaccinated and nonvaccinated pregnant women.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2021 to February 2022 at the Ruth Pfau Civil Hospital, Karachi,  and the Holy Family Hospital, Karachi, and comprised pregnant women admitted in delivery suite for operative or vaginal delivery. Data was collected using a self-designed questionnaire which also explored knowledge about vaccine, contextual factors and reasons for and against vaccination. Perinatal outcomes included stillbirth, preterm delivery, low birth weight and Appearance-Pulse-Grimace-Activity-Respiration score. Also, 3cc blood was collected from the umbilical cord at the time of delivery, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was used for antibodies titre. Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 186 women, 114(61.3%) with mean age 27.9±4.1 years were vaccinated, and 72(38.7%) with mean age 27.5±5.2 years were not vaccinated. Physician’s advise 104 (91.2%), vaccine safety and its effect on foetus 52(72.2%) were main determinants for vaccine uptake and refusal, repectively. Family and peer pressure was also responsible in 19(26.4%) cases for vaccine refusal. Body mass index, parity, level of education, socioeconomic status, history of coronavirus disease-2019 infection, booking status and presence of gestational diabetes mellitus were significantly different between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups (p<0.05). Antibody titers and Appearance-Pulse-Grimace-Activity-Respiration score at 1 minute were significantly higher in the group of vaccinated women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Vaccine uptake was found to be low. Safety concern against vaccine, and doctor’s advice were the main determinants for hesitancy and uptake. Antibody titers in newborns were higher in the group of vaccinated women.

A Study on the Relationship between Crisis Discourse and Archaeological Data
Authors:   Yeongnam Archaeological Review, Park Gyeong Min
Published: June 2023

Crisis has both material attribute and favorite attribute, and it is not easy to define universally because relative attributes can also be revealed. In addition, when defining a crisis in the past, perception of the current crisis, that is, periodical values can be inherent. Crisis can exist through the narrative and discourse as social structuralists argue, but it needs to consider additional relational problems of the crisis that material phenomena can create in interaction with us. Crisis in archaeology is also discussed as the process of the appearance and disappearance in archeological data. For example, the culture of the terminal period of Neolithic Age is indigenous hunter- gatherers, and the culture type of the early Bronze Age can be recognized as farmers, which can be depicted as a crisis and response situation for each group. Such interpretive tendency can be seen as an effort to find a real crisis. In contrast, the crisis may be viewed as a non-substantive crisis constructed by ideology. From a post-processual archaeological position, evidence considered as a criterion for objective judgment in process of defining a crisis can be a device to conceal or rationalize any contradictions in the past or present society. From this perspective, a crisis is an ideological phenomenon that can be constructed by a specific value without substance. In post-dualistic and anti-anthropocentric thinking, various relationships involving the concept of crisis should be considered. It is also necessary to review issues such as how the current concept of crisis plays a role in looking at past materials and how past materials elicit the concept of crisis. Material culture does not mean something in human society, but creates a world with humans in itself, so it needs to understand how languages such as crises we use become together in the relationship between humans and non-humans surrounding them.

Riau Province has a large potential for sago (Metroxylon sp). This is indicated by an area of ​​84,780 hectares and a production of 260,658 tons/year (Riau Plantation Office, 2020). The use of sago starch is still limited as a staple food for certain communities. Sago with a high nutritional content of carbohydrates equivalent to rice is an all-around plant, which means a plant that has many benefits. Besides sago can reducing dependence on imported flour, rice imports are also used as food ingredients that are processed into various forms of processed food, as well as non-food ingredients. such as renewable energy sources, namely bioethanol and pharmaceutical industry materials. Sago waste also provides many benefits, such as bark as flooring for houses, roads, and firewood, midrib as roofs, and pith pulp as animal feed, adhesives, charcoal briquettes, board particles, and composting materials. Optimizing the utilization of sago potential if it can be applied through food diversification efforts will open up economic activities and support food security in Riau Province.

Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh luas area seluas 84.780 Ha dan produksi sebesar 260.658 ton/tahun (Dinas Perkebunan Provinsi Riau, 2020). Pemanfaatan pati sagu masih terbatas sebagai pangan pokok masyarakat tertentu.   Sagu dengan kandungan gizi tinggi karbohidrat setara beras tersebut merupakan tumbuhan serba gatra yang artinya tumbuhan yang mempunyai banyak manfaat.  Selain sagu dapat mengurangi ketergantungan terhadap impor terigu, impor beras juga sebagai bahan pangan yang diolah menjadi berbagai bentuk olahan pangan, serta juga sebagai bahan non pangan seperti sumber energi terbarukan, yaitu bioetanol dan bahan industri farmasi. Limbah sagu juga memberikan banyak manfaat, seperti kulit batang sebagai lantai rumah, jalan dan kayu bakar, pelepah sebagai atap rumah, dan ampas empulur sebagai pakan ternak, bahan perekat, brikat arang, papan partikel dan bahan pembuat kompos. Optimalisasi potensi sagu ini bila dapat diterapkan melalui upaya penganekaragaman pangan yang akan membuka kegiatan ekonomi dan mendukung ketahanan pangan di Provinsi Riau.
HOW BUSINESSES CAN LEAD THE WAY TO NET ZERO
Authors:   Editor-in-Chief, Environment.co, Canada, Marsh Jane
Published: June 2023

To reach net zero, a business must balance the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) it releases with the amount it removes from the atmosphere. For every metric ton of pollution, it emits, it must find a way to remove the equivalent amount within a given time frame, even from an outside source. How can companies achieve this ambitious goal? Businesses must offset their GHG emissions to adhere to the Paris agreement. All companies should at least halve their emissions by 2030. Companies may be exposed to catastrophic weather events if global temperatures increase more than 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by then. Those failing to comply will likely face supply chain instability and financial penalties. This paper examines how businesses are achieving the coveted net-zero status.

The creation of states and local governments anywhere in the world has been a veritable instrument to drive and achieve meaningful development and bring governance structure and processes closer to the people. It is indeed one of the models through which development could easily be fostered across all regions In Nigeria. This paper examines states' and local governments' creation in Nigeria to determine whether the practice has achieved its universal purpose or otherwise, especially as it affects the minorities and people of the Niger Delta. Employing historical research methods and using both primary and secondary data, as well as the political economy framework, the paper establishes that the practice of Nigeria has rather underdeveloped the minority and oil-bearing regions in Nigeria. The experiment was purely designed for political expediency at the time and It is important to note that state and local government creation in Nigeria seems to be a veritable tool to undermine and under-develop the minority ethnic groups whose natural resources (the black gold) are used to service the entire nation and develop Lagos, Abuja and other parts of the country, with minimal amounts left to service the area where these natural resources are extracted. This has led to a series of conflicts that are still raging to date, with the minorities of South-South Nigeria demanding justice and the control of their resources through the application of fiscal federalism. They concluded that state and local government creation in Nigeria, rather than being a tool for the development of the minorities, is designed to selfishly enrich the major ethnic groups and recommends amongst others fiscal federalism as a means of assuaging the fears of continuous economic under-dev opment of the minorities by the majority ethnic groups.

Penggunaan kontrasepsi, khususnya MKJP, merupakan salah satu indikator terlaksananya program Keluarga Berencana. Namun berdasarkan hasil SDKI 2017, hanya terdapat 13,4% wanita yang menggunakan metode kontrasepsi jangka panjang. Berdasarkan beberapa penelitian sebelumnya, diketahui bahwa peran wanita penting terhadap penggunaan MKJP, dilihat melalui pemberdayaan wanita. Sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pemberdayaan wanita dengan penggunaan metode kontrasepsi jangka panjang (MKJP) pada wanita usia subur (15-49 tahun) yang telah menikah di Indonesia. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional dan menggunakan data SDKI tahun 2017. Variabel dependen penelitian ini adalah penggunaan MKJP dengan variabel independen utama adalah pemberdayaan wanita. Analisis bivariat dan stratifikasi digunakan untuk melihat hubungan antara variabel dependen dan independen dan mengetahui variabel perancu antara hubungan tersebut. Wanita yang berdaya memiliki risiko 1.15 kali lebih tinggi untuk menggunakan MKJP daripada wanita yang tidak berdaya. Diketahui bahwa variabel pendidikan wanita dan indeks kekayaan rumah tangga merupakan variabel perancu pada hubungan antara pemberdayaan wanita dengan penggunaan MKJP. Penggunaan MKJP yang masih rendah merupakan salah satu tantangan kesehatan masyarakat di Indonesia. Adanya hubungan antara pemberdayaan wanita dengan penggunaan MKJP dapat menjadi salah satu pertimbangan bagi instansi pemerintahan untuk mengembangkan kesehatan dengan berfokus pada peran wanita.

Kematian neonatal merupakan masalah yang harus diselesaikan dalam SDGs. Sama halnya di Indonesia, masih adanya ketimpangan antara target RPJMN 2020-2024 untuk menurunkan angka kematian neonatal menjadi 10 per 1000 kelahiran hidup. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor terjadinya kematian neonatal di Indonesia sebagai salah satu cara untuk mencapai target RPJMN. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi potong lintang dengan analisis data sekunder SDKI 2017. Sampel yang digunakan penelitian ini adalah 34.972 wanita usia subur usia 15-49 tahun yang pernah melahirkan di Indonesia. Analisis menggunakan pembobotan dan analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis spasial, Chi-Square, dan regresi logistik ganda. Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan adanya hubungan faktor sosial-ekonomi (pekerjaan ibu dan status kekayaan), faktor ibu (usia ibu, paritas, jarak kehamilan, dan komplikasi persaslinan), faktor bayi (berat badan lahir), dan faktor pelayanan kesehatan (antenatal care dan penolong persalinan) dengan kejadian kematian neonatal. Hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa variabel BBLR (P value<0,0001; POR=12,58; 95% CI=8,07-19,63), paritas (P value=0,001; POR=2,29; 95% CI=1,38-3,80) serta pekerjaan ibu (P value=0,002; POR=2,11; 95% CI=1,32-3,36) masuk ke dalam model akhir multivariat. Simpulan penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa BBLR merupakan variabel yang paling berpengaruh terhadap kejadian kematian neonatal di Indonesia.

Menurut UNICEF, status gizi pada anak secara langsung dipengaruhi oleh asupan makanan dan infeksi penyakit. Namun, banyak faktor secara tidak langsung yang mempengaruhi tumbuh kembang anak, diantaranya berat lahir, panjang lahir, jenis kelamin, usia dan status kenaikan berat badan. Maka dari itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara faktor risiko tersebut dengan kejadian stunted, underweight dan wasted.  Metode yang digunakan adalah cross sectional dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari website Elektronik Pencatatan dan Pelaporan Gizi Berbasis Masyarakat (E PPGBM). Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah adanya hubungan berat lahir, panjang lahir, jenis kelamin, usia dan status kenaikan berat badan dengan stunted, underweight dan wasted. Maka disimpulkan bahwa perlu adanya perhatian lebih terhadap balita dengan riwayat berat bayi lahir rendah, panjang bayi lahir rendah, berusia 23-59 bulan, dan berjenis kelamin laki-laki agar dapat terhindar dari masalah kekurangan gizi.
»Konkurzi, samomor, žalosten je pogled na trgovsko polje.« Gospodarski polom kot vzrok za samomor na Slovenskem pod Avstro-Ogrsko in prvo Jugoslavijo
Authors: Smiljanić Ivan
Published: June 2023

Materialna preskrbljenost sodi med temeljne pogoje človekove eksistence, zato lahko njena odsotnost povzroči številne težave, spremlja pa jo tudi družbena stigma, ki je bila v preteklosti močnejša kot danes. Težek položaj lahko pripelje do samomora. Na Slovenskem so bili samomori trgovcev in podjetnikov pojav, znan že v 19. stoletju, še več pa je bilo samomorov oseb, ki so se zgolj znašle v finančnih težavah ali ki so živele v revščini. Točna statistika o številu slovenskih samomorov zaradi ekonomskih vzrokov ni dosegljiva, tako da je osrednji vir za raziskavo tega vprašanja časopisje, ki pa je bilo pri poročanju o samomorih nenatančno, senzacionalistično in pri psihološkem opisovanju pokojnikov amatersko, sčasoma pa so postajali opisi samomorov in poškodb tudi vse nazornejši. V obdobju Avstro-Ogrske in Kraljevine SHS ter Kraljevine Jugoslavije je izbruhnilo nekaj gospodarskih afer, ki so se končale tudi s samomorom, o čemer je tisk obširno poročal. Samomori zaradi gospodarskih vzrokov so porasli zlasti v času neugodnih gospodarskih razmer, kot so kriza ob dunajskem borznem zlomu leta 1873, denarna kriza pred prvo svetovno vojno, deflacijska kriza sredi 20. let in velika gospodarska kriza v 30. letih.
Oblike slovenskega oblastnega diskurza o Bosni in Hercegovini za časa Habsburške monarhije
Authors: Krivec Jaros
Published: June 2023

Članek skuša osvetliti vprašanje o oblikovanju diskurzov habsburške periferije v času okupacije in kasnejše aneksije Bosne in Hercegovine. Raziskovalno vprašanje se osredotoča na to, kako so slovensko govoreči prebivalci te periferije ob stiku z novo »kolonijo« dojemali in opisovali ljudi in situacijo, ki so jo našli v novi »bosanski periferiji«. Osrednji predmet zanimanja so posamezni akterji in njihova konkretna izkušnja, ki so jo izoblikovali ob, večinoma vojaškem ali poklicnem, stiku z Bosno in Hercegovino. Na podlagi različnih virov, ki so rezultat spominov in drugih opisov omenjenih akterjev, ter s pomočjo kulturnozgodovinskega pristopa, razumljenega predvsem kot specifično perspektivo na različne predmete preučevanja, avtor poskuša razbrati, kakšen oblastni diskurz se je razvil med letoma 1878 in 1918. Prispevek pokaže, da slovenska kultura ni bila samo nem objekt nemškega hegemonialnega diskurza in ne le kolaborant dunajskega centra, ampak je bila sama aktiven in samoiniciativen govoreč subjekt, še kako vpet v sočasne evropske oblastno-diskurzivne tokove.
Kratka predstavitev planinskega društva Deutscher und Oesterreichischer Alpenverein (DuOeAV)
Authors: Peternel Marija Mojca
Published: June 2023

Prispevek želi predstaviti ozadje nastanka Nemško avstrijskega planinskega društva (Deutscher und oesterreichischer Alpenverein- DuOeAV) ter na kratko tudi njegov ustroj. S podružnicami je združenje ne le pokrilo velik del današnjega evropskega prostora, s podružnicama v Angliji in Egiptu ga je tudi močno preseglo. Priključitev Avstrije k Nemčiji je povzročilo preimenovanje društva v Nemško planinsko društvo (Deutscher Alpenverein), kar je pomenilo začetek njegovega konca in dokončen prelom v njegovem ustroji in usmeritvi. Društvo, ki je nastalo iz želje, da bi vpeti svet širšega alpskega prostora čimbolj približalo ljudem, je namreč vsaj do prve svetovne vojne na prvo mesto postavljalo alpsko stvar. Politična stvarnost prostora njegovega delovanja  pa ga v tem oziru seveda ni mogla pustiti nedotaknjenega.
Urban Street Architecture, the K67 Kiosk: a Single Solution for All Problems
Authors: Rendla Marta
Published: June 2023

In the following contribution, the author presents the complex development and evolution of the universally and modularly designed K67 Kiosk – the famous red booth by the Slovenian architect and industrial designer Saša Janez Mächtig – from its conception in the second half of the 1960s through its upgrades and specialisation in the 1970s to today’s modernisation as an interactive self-service multipurpose kiosk for the twenty-first century, the K21. The K67 Kiosk – a product of urban street industrial design architecture – was created under the influence of the architectural trends at the time and due to the growing needs of the city and the development of urban service activities. The miniature street architecture, which used to house newspaper, tobacco, and food shops, small workshops, flower shops, parking and ticket booths, information and tourist offices, gatehouses, etc., became a part of the general urban culture of the former Yugoslav territory, the urban space of former Eastern European socialist countries, the collective consciousness and memory, as well as a cult product.
