This review underscores the crucial role of parental oral health behaviors in shaping the oral health of children. It highlights the significance of parental knowledge, attitudes, and actions in influencing children's oral hygiene practices and overall well-being. Mothers, in particular, play a pivotal role in guiding their children's oral health habits. Parental oral health behaviors encompass a wide range of practices, including regular dental check-ups, proper oral hygiene routines, diet choices, and the avoidance of harmful habits like smoking and excessive sugar consumption. Active parental involvement in their children's oral care routines during their formative years is instrumental in establishing strong oral hygiene habits. Parents serve as primary role models and educators for their children, leading by example in maintaining good oral health practices. Encouraging parental engagement in oral health promotion programs is crucial for better oral health outcomes in future generations. Public health initiatives should emphasize the importance of parental involvement and provide resources and education to help parents instill sound oral health practices in their children. Recognizing the interconnectedness of oral health with overall well-being, it becomes evident that parental involvement is critical, especially for children who are vulnerable to oral health issues. Parents not only nurture and educate but also shape their children's oral health habits and attitudes. Additionally, contextual factors such as social, cultural, environmental, and economic conditions significantly influence family life and, consequently, oral health attitudes and behaviors.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents a study of the problem of automatic classification of short coherent texts (essays) in English according to the levels of the international CEFR scale. Determining the level of text in natural language is an important component of assessing students knowledge, including checking open tasks in e-learning systems. To solve this problem, vector text models were considered based on stylometric numerical features of the character, word, sentence structure levels. The classification of the obtained vectors was carried out by standard machine learning classifiers. The article presents the results of the three most successful ones: Support Vector Classifier, Stochastic Gradient Descent Classifier, LogisticRegression. Precision, recall and F-score served as quality measures. Two open text corpora, CEFR Levelled English Texts and BEA-2019, were chosen for the experiments. The best classification results for six CEFR levels and sublevels from A1 to C2 were shown by the Support Vector Classifier with F-score 67 % for the CEFR Levelled English Texts. This approach was compared with the application of the BERT language model (six different variants). The best model, bert-base-cased, provided the F-score value of 69 %. The analysis of classification errors showed that most of them are between neighboring levels, which is quite understandable from the point of view of the domain. In addition, the quality of classification strongly depended on the text corpus, that demonstrated a significant difference in F-scores during application of the same text models for different corpora. In general, the obtained results showed the effectiveness of automatic text level detection and the possibility of its practical application.
Logic for reasoning about bugs in loops over data sequences (IFIL)
Authors: Kondratyev Dmitry A.
Published: October 2023

Classic deductive verification is not focused on reasoning about program incorrectness. Reasoning about program incorrectness using formal methods is an important problem nowadays. Special logics such as Incorrectness Logic, Adversarial Logic, Local Completeness Logic, Exact Separation Logic and Outcome Logic have recently been proposed to address it. However, these logics have two disadvantages. One is that they are based on under-approximation approaches, while classic deductive verification is based on the over-approximation approach. One the other hand, the use of the classic approach requires defining loop invariants in a general case. The second disadvantage is that the use of generalized inference rules from these logics results in having to prove too complex formulas in simple cases. Our contribution is a new logic for solving these problems in the case of loops over data sequences. These loops are referred to as finite iterations. We call the proposed logic the Incorrectness Finite Iteration Logic (IFIL). We avoid defining invariants of finite iterations using a symbolic replacement of these loops with recursive functions. Our logic is based on special inference rules for finite iterations. These rules allow generating formulas with recursive functions corresponding to finite iterations. The validity of these formulas may indicate the presence of bugs in the finite iterations. This logic has been implemented in a new version of the C-lightVer system for deductive verification of C programs.

Published: October 2023

The problem of locating a service center for technical systems with known values of failure flows is considered. This problem was solved using the minisum algorithm of graph theory. The dependence of the system availability factor on the average time between failures and the average recovery time of the system elements is obtained. It is shown that the optimal location of the maintenance point is the median of the graph located at one of its vertices.
The algorithms for the Eulerian cycle and Eulerian trail problems for a multiple graph
Authors: Smirnov Alexander V.
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we study undirected multiple graphs of any natural multiplicity $k>1$. There are edges of three types: ordinary edges, multiple edges and multi-edges. Each edge of the last two types is a union of $k$ linked edges, which connect 2 or $(k+1)$ vertices, correspondingly. The linked edges should be used simultaneously. If a vertex is incident to a multiple edge, it can be also incident to other multiple edges and it can be the common end of $k$ linked edges of some multi-edge. If a vertex is the common end of some multi-edge, it cannot be the common end of another multi-edge.

We set the problem of finding the eulerian walk (the cycle or the trail) in a multiple graph, which generalizes the classical problem for an ordinary graph. We formulate the necessary conditions for existence of an eulerian walk in a multiple graph and show that these conditions are not sufficient. Besides that, we show that the necessary conditions of existence of an eulerian cycle and eulerian trail are not mutually exclusive for an arbitrary multiple graph, that is why it is possible to construct a multiple graph where two types of eulerian walks exist simultaneously. Any multiple graph can be juxtaposed to the ordinary graph with quasi-vertices, which represents the structure of the initial graph in a simpler form. In particular, each eulerian walk in the multiple graph corresponds to the eulerian walk in the graph with quasi-vertices. The algorithm for getting such a graph is formulated.
Also, the auxiliary problem of finding the covering trails with given endpoints in an ordinary graph is studied. Two algorithms are obtained for this problem.
We elaborate the algorithm for finding the eulerian walk in a multiple graph, which has the exponential complexity. We suggest the polynomial algorithm for the special case of a multiple graph and show that the necessary conditions are sufficient for existence of an eulerian walk in this special case.

Authors: Talitskaya Anna A. , Zueva Yulia E.
Published: October 2023

The article considers regional peculiarities of nominations in the field of ergonyms of flower stores on the example of names of the city of Yaroslavl and the city of Brno, Czech Republic. The tendencies of recent years in urban onomastics, as well as approaches to the classification of ergonyms are investigated. Semantic classification allowed us to identify groups and subgroups of ergonyms coinciding in the two cities, as well as to identify unique semantic groups for the city of Yaroslavl. Structural classification of the studied ergonyms showed that real ergonyms reflecting the location of the company and/or the nature of its activity prevail. Functional classification allowed us to determine that the majority of ergonyms of flower stores both in Russia and in the Czech Republic fulfill an advertising and informative function. Most Czech ergonyms belong to the group with a low degree of need for a nomenclatural term, while Yaroslavl nominatives need a nomenclatural term to a medium or high degree. It was concluded that the majority of flower store names in both cities are written in the native language of the country and are word combinations. As a result of the study, similarities and differences of onyms of different countries were identified and descriptions of typical ergonyms of both cities were compiled.

Published: October 2023

The study aimed to explore the effectiveness of the e-learning system in teaching scientific and humanities disciplines  and its suitability to provide accounting students (specifically) in Jordanian universities with the practical skills necessary for the labor market. The qualitative approach was adopted for collecting, analyzing and testing data.  The researchers designed an electronic questionnaire that was distributed to 3000 accounting students in 30 Jordanian universities for data collection.  Only 762 questionnaires were retrieved and analyzed which formed the sample for the study. The descriptive analysis and linear regression test were used to analyze data and test hypotheses. The results showed that accounting students in Jordanian universities think that the   e-learning system is ineffective in fulfilling the teaching requirements for humanities and scientific disciplines with the necessary skills to practice the profession after graduation. The adoption of e-learning systems in the teaching process of accounting majors leads to a decline in the practical skills of accounting students. The study recommended that Jordanian universities conduct a permanent and continuous evaluation of e-learning systems to ensure their effectiveness and efficiency in achieving the desired goals. Furthermore, Jordanian universities have to build effective review, evaluation and testing mechanisms for students’ skills through e -learning to ensure the required practical skills.
A secure and effective data aggregation in WSN for improved security and data privacy

Published: October 2023

The increasing prevalence of internet usage and mobile devices has underscored the critical importance of safeguarding personal data. This is especially important in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), where information typically requires in-network computing and collaborative processing. These computationally demanding approaches are not suitable for resource-constrained WSN nodes. Aggregating data effectively while protecting user data is a major challenge in wireless sensor networks. Many privacies of homomorphism encryption-based WSN data aggregation methods have been created and investigated recently. Since cluster leaders (aggregators) may rapidly combine cypher texts without decryption, communication overhead is reduced, making these data aggregation methods more secure than traditional ones. However, the base station only receives aggregated output, causing issues. Initial limits apply to aggregating functions. If the aggregated output is the sum of sensing data, the base station cannot acquire the maximum value. Second, attaching message digests or signatures to sensory samples does not allow the base station to validate data authenticity. In dangerous places, WSNs must be energy-efficient and private. In this research, we present a data aggregation method known as Energy-Efficient and Privacy-Preserving (E2P2). E2P2 data aggregation utilizes less energy and yields more accurate results. Private data aggregation with increased accuracy and hybrid encryption is presented in this research. The goal is to reduce data transmission and energy use collisions and offset collision-induced loss. Extensive simulations compare E2P2 to earlier approaches. Experimental results show that E2P2 outperforms other algorithms. Good exactness, complexity, and safety are demonstrated by theoretical and simulation results.

Published: October 2023

Complementary foods are needed to supplement breast milk with essential nutrients needed for general wellbeing of growing children. In developing countries these children still suffer from nutritional deficiencies which can be ameliorated by development of nutrient dense and acceptable complementary foods from locally available crops. Mixture design of design expert was used to obtain optimized flour blend from plantain, velvet beans and crayfish flours for the production of complementary food which was analyzed for its nutritional and sensory qualities. This was analyzed for its proximate composition, nutritional quality and sensory properties. Result of proximate composition for moisture, crude protein, fat, fibre, ash and carbohydrate was 6.49 %, 12.18 %, 1.50 %, 0.35 %, 2.10 % and 82.93 % respectively. The complementary food had 64.80 % in-vitro protein, 21.80 % starch digestibility, gross energy of 4132.21 Cal, in-vitro total sugar content of 3.29g/100g and a total carbohydrate content of 50.87 %. The complementary food had sensory attributes comparable to commercial complementary foods, was nutrient dense and could be used as alternative to expensive complementary foods. There is therefore need to continue to formulate nutritionally dense and acceptable weaning food from local crops in order to ameliorate the nutritional deficiencies among infants and hence improve their general wellbeing.

Hadis merupakan sumber hukum kedua dalam Islam. Kendati demikian, dalam sejarahnya banyak ditemukan hadis-hadis palsu yang disebarkan oleh oknum-oknum yang tidak bertanggungjawab. Oleh karena itu, ikhtiar untuk memvalidasi keotentikan hadis melalui kritik sanad, matan dan perawinya menjadi penting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelusuri sejarah perkembangan kritik sanad hadis dari aspek jarh dan ta’dil serta urgensinya di era kontemporer. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis konten dengan menggunakan pendekatan sejarah. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: pertama, kajian kritik hadis pada dasarnya sudah dipraktekkan sejak masa hidup Nabi SAW, kecuali pada aspek sanad atau pribadi rāwi (jarḥ dan ta’dīl). Kajian tersebut juga terus berkembang pada periode sesudahnya. Kedua, keberadaan hadis-hadis palsu terus menyebar dan berkembanghingga sekarang. Bahkan, hadis-hadis palsu yang belum dikaji dan diteliti oleh para ulama terdahulu juga terus bermunculan sehingga kajian jarh wa ta’adil penting untuk terus dilakukan. Kata Kunci: Jarh wa Ta’dil; Sejarah, HadisAbstrak Hadith is the second source of law in Islam. Nevertheless, in its history there are many fake hadiths spread by irresponsible persons. Therefore, the effort to validate the authenticity of the hadith through the criticism of the sanad, matan and narrators is important. This study aims to unravel the history of the development of critique of sanad hadith from the aspects of jarh and ta'dil and their urgency in the contemporary era. This study uses content analysis methods using a historical approach. The results of this study indicate that: first, the study of hadith criticism has basically been practiced since the Prophet's lifetime, except for the aspect of sanad or rāwi's personality (jarḥ and ta'dīl). The study also continued to develop in the following period. Second, the existence of fake hadiths continues to spread and develop until now. Even fake hadiths that have not been studied and researched by previous scholars also continue to emerge, so it is important to continue studying jarh wa ta'adil.Keywords: Jarḥ Wa Ta'dīl, History, Hadith

Inclusive leadership in schools where refugee students study: The evidence from Türkiye
Authors: CULHA Ali , NAZLI Kemal
Published: October 2023

Since the civil war broke out in Syria, millions of refugees have had to migrate to Türkiye and neighboring countries. Thus, refugee students have become a serious problem for many countries. The current study used a phenomenological approach to explore inclusive leadership behaviors in Turkish schools serving refugee pupils. The descriptive analysis technique was adopted in this study, in which School administrators and teachers participated. Findings have shown that the most common problems faced by school administrations while involving refugee students in educational activities are language difficulties, poor academic achievement, absenteeism, and adaptation problems experienced by refugee students. To involve refugee students in education, the practices carried out by school administrators are guidance and cooperation, employment of Syrian teachers, sports and cultural activities, establishment of integration classes, and translator support. As expected, the research findings showed that there is no exclusion against refugee students in Türkiye due to inclusive leadership practices carried out by school administrators and cultural and religious similarities between refugee students and Turkish students.

Authors: Rahim Irwan Ridwan , Pradani Novita , Irmawaty Rita , Tjaronge Muhammad Wihardi
Published: October 2023

Pemanfaatan material perkerasan jalan pasca bencana di Kota Palu dan penggunaan material lokal yaitu Asbuton Butir Lawele diharapkan dapat bersinergi dengan baik pada campuran Beton Aspal Lapis Aus   (AC-WC). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji pengaruh penggunaan material daur ulang  (RAP) dan asbuton butir terhadap sifat volumetrik campuran AC-WC. Bahan RAP yang digunakan dalam campuran adalah 20% dari berat campuran dan variasi asbuton yang digunakan adalah 0%, 3%, 6% dan 9% dari berat campuran. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian diketahui bahwa penambahan material RAP dan asbuton butir pada campuran AC-WC dapat mempengaruhi sifat volumetrik campuran. Nilai rongga dalam campuran (VIM) dan rongga dalam agregat mineral (VMA) akan meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan persentase asbuton. Sebaliknya, rongga yang terisi aspal (VFB) akan berkurang dengan bertambahnya jumlah asbuton. Sehingga dapat dikatakan bahwa campuran AC-WC yang mengandung RAP dengan penambahan asbuton butir, akan mengalami perubahan volumetrik jika dibandingkan dengan campuran tanpa RAP dan asbuton butir.

ABSTRAK

Utilization of post-disaster pavement materials in Palu City and Indonesian local materials, namely Asbuton Butir Lawele, are expected to synergize well in Asphaltic Concrete Wearing Course (AC-WC) mixture. This studio aims to examine the effect of recycled materials (RAP) and granular asbuton on the volumetric properties of the AC-WC mixture. The RAP material used in the mix is 20% of the mixture weight and variations of asbuton used are 0%, 3%, 6% and 9% of the mixture weight. Based on laboratory results, it was found that the addition of RAP material and granular asbuton to the AC-WC mixture could affect the volumetric properties of the mix. The value of voids in the mixture (VIM) and voids in mineral aggregates (VMA) will increase as the proportion of asbuton increases. On the other hand, the void filled with asphalt (VFB) will decrease with the increasing number of asbuton. So it can be said that the AC-WC mixture containing RAP with the addition of granular asbuton, will experience volumetric changes compared to the mix without RAP and granular asbuton.
Character Education Values in the Bugis Traditional Game of Mappasajang: An Islamic Perspective
Authors: Suhra Sarifa
Published: October 2023

This study examines the traditional Bugis mappasajang game and analyses the intersection of traditional values in that game with those of Islamic traditions. Based on the empirical research in Toro Village, Bone, South Sulawesi, the study employed observation and interview to collect the data. This study found that despite the negative impacts of game, like other games that often take excessive time and neglects daily routines amongts children or youth, the study shows that noble characters are inherently present in the traditional game. The player of mappasajang can learn how to make balance, create resilience, and establish cooperation, unity and creativity since all these characters and skills are badly needed to play the game successfully. In addition to sharpen motoric skills, unlike online games, the traditional game also helps to nurture one’s personality in dealing with others and strengthen social bond and community cohesion. This is relevant to the principle of traditional game or sport promoted by Islam.

Published: October 2023

Aim: For many years, systemic treatment of metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma (mRCC) was based on sequential targeted agent monotherapies. In this real-life case series, we evaluated easily accessible clinical factors useful for disease course prediction. Methods: We exploited patients' clinical pathological characteristics and systemic treatment outcomes in a real-world population of 365 mRCC patients who received sequential monotherapies in the targeted therapy era, and we identified an early progressors subpopulation, resistant to first-line VEGFR-TKI monotherapy in less than 6 months. Results: Early progressors (n = 124) show a far worse OS compared with patients progressing beyond the sixthmonth of therapy (13.5 vs. 44.8 months, P-value < 0.0001, HR = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.29-0.53). However, these patients did not show far worse performance in second and third-line settings compared to first-line responders. In the univariate analysis, IMDC risk class, sarcomatoid features, and Systemic Inflammation Index (SII) were correlated with first-line therapy Progression-Free Survival (PFS1). In multivariate analysis, variables correlated with first-line outcome were IMDC risk class, histotype, and number of metastatic sites at the diagnosis. Conclusion: Real-world data can contribute to developing easy-to-use prognostic factors associated with refractory disease that could support clinicians in identifying the most appropriate treatment strategy for each patient.

Veterinary treatments, mainly antibiotics, used for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes in dairy farming can be the cause of the presence of antibiotic residues in milk. However, these residues constitute a major health concern for consumers. For the dairy industry, whose objective is to have a raw material suitable for processing, it is necessary to screen for antibiotic residues in milk at each collection. This study is based on two parts, a survey of seventy people (10 practicing veterinarians and 60 milk producers) to describe the main molecules of antibiotics used in dairy cattle farming in the two basins of Tienfala and Kasséla in the Koulikoro region, and a search for residues by Delvotest SP with confirmation of positive samples by liquid chromatography (HPLC). To this end, sixty (60) samples of raw milk were collected in two sampling campaigns per site carried out 15 days apart. All samples were analyzed using the Delvotest SP rapid detection of antibiotic residues in milk kit first before being analyzed by liquid chromatography (HPLC) for positive samples. The results of the surveys revealed the predominance of three pathologies within dairy herds: diarrhoea, mastitis and pulmonary infections with a combination of several antibiotics belonging to five (5) different families of antibiotics. Of the 60 samples submitted for analysis, 38 were found to be positive with Delvotest SP, i.e. a contamination rate of around 63.33%. Of the 38 samples positive to the rapid test, 26 responded positively to confirmation by liquid chromatography, i.e. a rate of 68.42% with mainly four antibiotics belonging to the families of β-lactams and tetracyclines. The results of the study effectively prove the effective presence of antibiotic residues in raw cow's milk from the mini-dairies of Kassela and Tienfala. They thus characterize current practices in the treatment of dairy cattle with antibiotics in the farming areas studied. Compliance with withdrawal periods with the elimination of milk from treated cows must be obtained by raising the awareness of producers by animal health professionals.

Impact of anthropogenic activities on soil microorganisms: A review
Authors: Takala Bikila
Published: October 2023

In the world, since the beginning of mankind soil has been the basis for the sustenance of life. The discovery of microorganisms within soil and their importance in recycling organic matter dates back to the 17th century when John Evelyn stated that soil fertility could be maintained by the addition of organic materials. By the 20th century, large farming devices and chemicals for improving the production of crops on a large scale had been developed and the utilization of these resources resulted in drastic increases in land areas under cultivation. Although agricultural chemicals and machinery increased crop productivity exponentially, the intensive application of these agricultural management tools has also had many negative effects on agricultural soils. As a result the impacts of human activities on soil microorganisms are many and varied. The effects of human activities vary with land use, ranging from agricultural wastes such as farm animal sewerage and fertilizer runoff, to commercial and industrial wastes of every conceivable type and magnitude. A better understanding of the linkages between soil life and ecosystem function and the impact of human interventions will enable the reduction of negative impacts and the more effective capture of the benefits of soil biological activity for sustainable and productive agriculture. Therefore the objective of this review was to summarize the literatures and the current knowledge on the impact of different anthropogenic activities on soil microorganisms.
A new exponential type Kernel integral transform: Khalouta transform and its applications
Authors: Khalouta Ali
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we suggest a new integral transform called the Khalouta transform, which is a generalization of many integral transforms having exponential type kernel. We discuss certain results on the inverse and the existence of this integral transform. We present useful properties of the Khalouta transform and their applications to solve differential equations. Furthermore, we prove the duality between the Khalouta transform and other transforms such as the Laplace-Carson transform, Sumudu transform, ZZ transform, ZMA transform, Elzaki transform, Aboodh transform, Natural transform and Shehu transform. Finally, we ensure the efficiency and accuracy of the Khalouta transform by solving various examples of both ordinary, integro and partial differential equations.

Published: October 2023

During the oil well usage its flow rate inevitably lessens. As a result the oil production enterprises must solve the most important problem of the oil extraction intensification. When solving filtration problems (there is a great set of problems; here we will deal with one of them including physical processes, difficulties and problem setting-up) ordinarily use well-known problems. However, in many cases, for example, when describing thermogas-chemica modification (TGCM) there capacity is insufficient. For example, one needs describing of more than two phases, taking into account chemical reactions and so on. We produced a program which clears this trouble. This program can model main features of the TGCM case: many-phase and non-isothermal process, non-one-dimensional flow. As a result we can better tune calculation programs for specific deposits by taking into consideration of geologic peculiarities and near-well zone defects occurred as a result of previous usage.

The citronella plant (Cymbopogon winterianus Jowwit) has been known to have phenolic compounds that have the potential as antioxidants. The more phenolic compounds extracted, the better the quality of the extract obtained. To obtain maximum total phenol levels, extraction treatment was carried out with variations in time, temperature, and solvent concentration to extract fragrant Citronella leaves. This study aimed to determine the right time, temperature, and solvent concentration to obtain citronella extract with maximum total phenol content. Extraction was carried out by water distillation technique using ethanol solvent with concentration variations of 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% with time variations of 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, and temperature variations extraction, namely 50, 60, 70, and 80oC, The total phenol content of citronella extract was analyzed using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer based on the reduction reaction of the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent. The results showed that the extract with the highest total phenol content was 7.075 with a time of 4 hours, a temperature of 80 C, and using a solvent concentration of 90%. Characteristics produced from citronella extract with the highest phenol content, namely total flavonoids at 41.75 mgQE/g, antioxidant activity at 11.242 ppm, antibacterial activity at E. coli is 10.2 mm and in S. aureus is 12.7 mm. This research is expected to have an impact on the exploration of the extraction of bioactive compounds in citronella plants.

Jenang ayas is ethnic food from Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. Recently, jenang ayas are still packaged using improvised packaging, and the information conveyed regarding the product is still lacking. Even though the label information on the packaging can attract consumers' attention in making purchases, packaging will not only serve to protect the product but also as a means of promotion to increase the selling value of the product and influence the customer purchase decision. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the influence of the jenang ayas label and packaging that affect the customer purchase decision. A quantitative method with a descriptive approach was adopted following 179 responses to the online questionnaire. The finding revealed that the independent variables (label and packaging of jenang ayas) positively affected the dependent variable (customer purchase decision) both partially and simultaneously. The influence of food labels was greater than the packaging, with a value of 0.200 compared to 0.119. Label information, especially the expiration date, becomes an important factor in the jenang ayas product based on consumer choice. This study result provides useful insight into strategies for producing jenang ayas as Gresik food souvenir products in the Asian business.

Food loss occurs during production, handling, and post-harvest processing. Food loss also occurs because the product is under quality and shelf-life over. In addition, the performance and knowledge of farmers also need to be improved to minimize food loss. Food loss in the milk supply chain occurs due to spills, damage, and product contamination caused by operator negligence and poor handling procedures due to the lack of material handling and operational performance. This study aims to determine the effect of material handling and operational performance on food loss in the milk supply chain. The method used is a quantitative method with a statistical test Chi-Square. The results show that most material handling cases involve manual milking and milk storage. Another cause of food loss is the high production of bacteria, which impacts milk quality. In operational performance, the primary reason is communication among farmers regarding the cleanliness and handling of cattle during production. New farmers with low experience are expected to attend training to increase production capacity and avoid bacterial contamination. Upgrading Milking equipment is also essential to reduce food loss in the milk supply chain

Published: October 2023

This study will focus on Toru Watanabe's forms of existential crisis reflected in Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood (1987). To analyze the existential crisis experienced by Toru Watanabe, Jean-Paul Sartre's theory of existentialism is applied. Furthermore, Butėnaitė-Świtkiewicz’s theory of components of existential crisis is also used to describe the components of existential crisis, namely emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components. This study applies the descriptive qualitative method. In addition, philosophical and psychological approaches are employed in this study due to the fact that this study is concerned with the existentialism in philosophy and existential crisis in psychology. The results of the study show that Toru Watanabe suffers from an existential crisis because of his inability to seek meaning for his existence. His existential crisis is indicated through the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral components.

Published: October 2023

The correlation between bryophyte community characteristics, alterations in species diversity, and microhabitat characteristics on various types of urban walls remains ambiguous. This study investigates the distribution and habitat characteristics of bryophytes on various types of urban walls in karst areas. The α and β diversity indices were employed to examine the variation of bryophytes on these walls. Additionally, a canonical correspondence analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between bryophyte species composition and their microhabitat. The results showed that: (1) There were 14 families, 31 genera, and 80 species of wall bryophytes (including six species of liverworts) on urban walls. Brachytheciaceae, Pottiaceae, and Hypnaceae were the dominant families. Bryophyte species were most abundant on stone retaining walls, followed by concrete revetment. The highest proportion of dominant bryophyte species were found on the concrete face, in the crevasses of stone walls, and on the tops of brick walls. (2) The species distribution across the nine types of walls was highly uneven, stone retaining walls exhibited the highest species diversity, while concrete revetment and freestanding walls demonstrated strong habitat heterogeneity. (3) The species composition of wall bryophytes was intricately linked to the properties of the wall and micro-environmental factors, with wall temperature and air humidity being the key determinants. These findings can serve as a benchmark for assessing the diversity and ecosystems of urban wall bryophytes. By enhancing the conservation and restoration of various types of wall bryophytes, we can bolster the self-sustaining mechanisms of urban ecosystems.
