Published: February 2025

Bureaucratic reform in every line of government agencies has changed the pattern of information disclosure through the digitalisation of government bureaucracy. Along with the demands of digitalisation and the issuance of Permen PanRB Number 6 of 2022, the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Medan City as a government agency must participate in the successful implementation of performance management through the BKN e-performance application. For this reason, the researcher formulated the problem 'how is the application of the e-performance application for religious education teachers at the primary school level at the Medan City Office of the Ministry of Religion and how the e-performance application can improve teacher behaviour and work results'. The purpose of the research is to describe and analyse the process of implementing the e-performance application by religious education teachers in improving work outcomes and work behaviour. The research method in this study uses qualitative research using Miles and Huberman data analysis. The research subjects were religious education teachers at the primary school level at the Medan City Ministry of Religious Affairs Office, with 10 (ten) main informants and 3 (three) key informants as verifiers, namely 1 (one) staffing section and 2 (two) section heads. The results of the study generally show that the implementation of the e-performance application has been carried out but not in accordance with the stages of performance management and the application of the BKN e-performance application can improve the work results and work behaviour of teachers, this is based on the results of interviews conducted on the main informants and key informants. On the other hand, the implementation of the e-performance application is not accompanied by socialisation and training, limited IT skills of teachers, the absence of performance dialogue to reach an agreement in determining RHK, setting expectations and assessment standards for work results and work behaviour. In addition, the predicate assessment does not show any differences in work results between teachers and cannot be used as a reference for teacher performance progress. Referring to the results of the study, the researcher recommends that teachers be more proactive in seeking information and learning independently. The researcher also recommends that the Ministry of Religious Affairs of Medan City continue to provide e-performance training, form a special performance team, build performance dialogue, quantitative/numerical form of assessment of work results and behaviour, and include curves/diagrams of improvement in performance results and behaviour in the application as a measure of performance success.

Published: February 2025

In recent years, nitrite toxicity has become a significant concern in shrimp aquaculture, affecting cultured species’ health and productivity. Herein, we investigated the impacts of nitrite on the immune and metabolic functions of Litopenaeus vannamei and assessed the impacts of eyestalk hormone on these parameters when shrimp were cultured under high nitrite conditions. After exposure of L. vannamei to nitrite-N at 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 mg/L, and unilateral eyestalk-ablated shrimp only to nitrite-N at 10 mg/L for 48 h, phenoloxidase (PO) activity, antibacterial activity, bacteriolytic activity, oxyhemocyanin, lactate, and glucose contents were measured. Oxyhemocyanin levels decreased as the nitrite-N concentrations increased, while lactate and glucose levels increased. This indicated that conversion from aerobic to anaerobic respiratory metabolism is exacerbated by hypoxia-induced nitrite stress to ensure that readily metabolizable energy stores are available to meet increased energy demand. The decrease in PO levels, antibacterial activity, and bacteriolytic activity in the hemolymph indicated that the physiological and immunological responses of L. vannamei was impaired by subjection to nitrite-N. Under the same nitrite-N conditions, eyestalk ablation caused a remarkable decrease in glucose, lactate, and PO levels, compared with those detected in the non-ablated eyestalk group. These findings suggest that the eyestalk hormone in L. vannamei increases metabolic and immune responses as a protective mechanism against nitrite-N stress.

The development of the world economy at the current stage is a complex process of competition between companies and states, which are directly involved in the struggle to gain a leading position in the global market. For states, it is political influence, for companies - economic indicators. Overall, it allows the actors to gain significant weight - both political and economic - in the international exchange system, which directly provides the opportunity to influence the world community. The main condition of global competition in the 21st century is the technological factor. The innovation process is a key indicator of the economic growth and prosperity of companies and states.

The problem of intensive development, implementation, and dissemination of the latest technologies, due to the inefficient use of the scientific, technical, and personnel potential of existing mechanisms, is particularly relevant for entrepreneurs in countries with transition economies, including Georgian companies.

However, the concentration of troponin I showed significant differences between the groups, HI group had significantly higher levels of troponin I compared to the other groups.
Conclusion: The high-intensity physical activity has the highest result in ncreasing Troponin I and the moderate intensity physical activity has the highest concentration of glutathione peroxidase compare to other groups.
Poisson des hommes, poisson des dieux. Croisement des données archéologiques, épigraphiques et iconographiques de la fin de l’Uruk aux Dynasties archaïques (c. 3200-2350 av. J.-C.) en pays de Sumer
Authors: Mastelli Weissrock Géraldine
Published: February 2025

Résumé :

Les sources cunéiformes attestent du rôle majeur du poisson dans la subsistance des populations dans le Sud mésopotamien. Au-delà de ce rôle premier, le poisson semble porter une charge symbolique forte dans la société sumérienne de la fin de l’Uruk aux Dynasties archaïques : on le trouve en logogramme dans le nom de la déesse Nanše, comme messager divin dans les inscriptions royales, gravé dans les scènes rituelles des sceaux-cylindres dans les tombes et les temples. Cet article met à profit le croisement entre les textes, les contextes archéologiques où se retrouvent les restes de poissons et leur iconographie pour proposer une analyse chrono-culturelle resserrée, afin de réinterroger et objectiver le rapport de l’homme au poisson au moment de l’émergence des premières villes dans la plaine alluviale mésopotamienne.

Abstract:

Title: Fish for men, fish for gods: combining archaeological, epigraphic and iconographic data, late Uruk and Early Dynastic Period (c. 3200-2350 BCE), southern Mesopotamia

Cuneiform sources confirm the major role played by fish in people’s subsistence in South Mesopotamia. Moreover, far from being a simple daily resource, fish seems to have a symbolic charge in Sumerian society from the end of Uruk to the Early Dynastic period: its logogram is part of the name of the goddess Nanše, royal inscriptions define it as a divine messenger, scenes depicting it in ritual contexts are found in tombs and temples. This article crosses informations from cuneiform texts, archaeological contexts where fish remains were found, and iconography to propose a chrono-cultural analysis, in order to reassess man’s relationship with fish as the first cities emerge on the Mesopotamian alluvial plain.
Regards croisés sur les moulins en basalte du Haut-Empire le long de l’axe rhénan
Authors: Jodry Florent
Published: February 2025

Résumé :

La normalisation des meules rotatives manuelles est attestée sur notre territoire depuis la période gauloise même si quelques traits culturels viennent nuancer cette apparente rationalisation. En revanche, dès le Haut-Empire dans la vallée rhénane, les meules rotatives manuelles adoptent un nouveau type. Elles sont non seulement taillées dans le basalte de l’Eifel mais présentent également, grâce à cette roche, une uniformité remarquable. Ce produit répond a priori aux besoins de standardisation de l’armée romaine. Des sources croisées permettront d’apporter un regard nouveau sur le rendement, notamment au travers d’expérimentations, et les motivations qui président à la standardisation de ces moulins manuels antiques.

Abstract:

Title: Crossed perspectives on the basalt mills of the Early Empire along the Rhine axis

The standardisation of manual rotary querns is attested to in our territory since the Gallic period, even if some cultural features qualify this apparent rationalisation. On the other hand, as early as the High Empire in the Rhine Valley, manual rotary querns adopted a new type. They were not only extract from Eifel basalt, but also had a confusiong uniformity thanks to this rock. This product meets the standardization needs of the Roman army. Cross-referenced sources will provide new insights into the performance, particularly through experiments, and the motivations behind the standardisation of these ancient manual mills.

Authors: Sindia Sindia , Mahdi Irfan
Published: February 2025

The present study investigates how career development and organizational climate impact Civil Servants' commitment at BPKAD Regency Sintang. The research design uses associative methods with quantitative measurements. The research team gathered data from the Sub-Section Apparatus Head through direct interviews and distributed questionnaires to all employees reaching data saturation at 43 staff members. Secondary data was also used for employee-related information as well as work absence and transfer and work achievement records. This study uses variable X1 of development career and X2 of climate organization in addition to variable Y of commitment organizational which measures variables through Likert Scale. The research data demonstrates that most survey participants fall into the male gender category with an age range between 30-39 years old. They also attended last high school graduate and maintained 1-5 years of employment experience and marriage status. The results of multiple linear regression indicate that development career variables contribute more strongly to organizational commitment compared to variables related to climate organization. The analysis reveals a strong relationship with coefficient correlation of 0.667 while the coefficient determination (R²) of 44.50% indicates free variables influence organizational commitment and 55.50% came from other factors. The F test for simultaneous testing confirms that organizational factors as a whole exert substantial influence on organizational commitment yet the development career specifically demonstrates stronger effects than work climate elements do.
Сопряжённость особенностей этнической структуры муниципальных образований Юга России и параметров их экономического развития
Authors: Дружинин А.Г. , Потапенко В.В.
Published: February 2025

Статья посвящена воздействию особенностей этнической структуры населения на экономическое развитие территории. Объектом исследования выступили 339 муниципальных образований (городские округа, муниципальные округа, муниципальные районы) Южного и Северо-Кавказского федеральных округов. Уровень и динамика развития экономики оценены по объёму налогооблагаемых доходов физических лиц и индивидуальных предпринимателей. Оценка зависимости экономики от этнической структуры населения (а также степени урбанизации и фактора метрополизации) проведена с опорой на аналитический метод «медианной полировки». Показано, что ни полиэтничность, ни моноэтничность (как этноструктурные типологические характеристики) напрямую не влияют на экономическую активность. Последняя в ситуации Юга России, тем не менее, «смещена» в массив «русских» муниципальных образований, в преимущественно относящиеся к нему крупнейшие города и их агломерации с проявляющейся двойственностью сопряжённости этнической структуры и экономики: 1) повышенный уровень экономического развития в ограниченном числе муниципальных образований, что, благодаря миграции, ведёт к нарастанию их полиэтничных свойств; 2) нарастание экономической активности в группах муниципальных образований по мере роста доли русского населения. Выявлена сложившаяся в целом устойчивая асимметрия в уровне экономического развития для групп моноэтнических муниципальных образований с различной «этнической окраской», требующая учёта в регулировании пространственного развития на федеральном и региональном уровнях.

Authors: Hewlett Dexter Senanu Kofi , Tee Evans , Essel-Mensah Kojo , Adzagbre Charles
Published: February 2025

This study explores the impact of risk management strategies and socioeconomic factors on crop productivity among smallholder farmers in Ghana. Utilising a cross-sectional survey design, data were gathered from 4,065,095 agricultural households, as reported by the Ghana Census of Agriculture (2018). The sampling frame, derived from the 37,657 Enumeration Areas defined by the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), provided a systematic approach for identifying the target population. Key variables include crop productivity (measured in kilograms per hectare), socioeconomic factors (education levels, marital status, and gender), agricultural practices (plot size, mixed cropping, and irrigation), and economic and demographic factors (labour costs, hours of work, average market price of crops, and age). The findings reveal that educational attainment at basic and medium levels significantly enhances crop productivity, while higher education levels do not show direct benefits. Mixed cropping and irrigation practices are shown to significantly increase productivity, underscoring their importance in agricultural risk management. Larger plot sizes demonstrate economies of scale, contributing to higher productivity. Sociodemographic factors such as marital status and gender influence productivity, with male and married farmers achieving higher yields. Labour and input costs are critical determinants of productivity, highlighting the financial risks inherent in farming. The study emphasizes the need for integrated policies that incorporate agricultural insurance, education, financial services, and sustainable farming techniques to build a resilient agricultural industry in Ghana. These findings highlight the potential for agricultural insurance and risk management measures to reduce vulnerabilities and improve sustainability.

Changes in precipitation, temperature, and wind patterns are just a few of the difficulties that the agricultural industry faces as a result of climate change and variability. Smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture for a living are particularly vulnerable to these developments. The study aims to assess smallholder farmers’ perception on climate change and adaptation strategies in Gombe State, Nigeria. The study’s specific objectives areidentify farmers perceptions of climate change and climate change adaptations strategies. Descriptive statistics was employed to analyse the data. The results indicated that majority (51.3%)smallholder farmers perceived climate change and some adaptation strategies were employed to cope the risk posed by it. About (56.4%) of the respondents perceived late onset of rainfall. Majority (78.46%) of the respondents perceived an increased in temperature in the study area. The most common adaptation strategies were crop-livestock diversification and good practices with (37.800%). Over 82% of farmers face poor soil fertility issues and early 78% struggle with high farm input costs. Smallholder farmers in Gombe State perceived a high level of climate change, that climate change is human-caused and a worrisome problem. It is recommended that government should promote conservation agriculture practices, such as crop rotation, organic amendments, and minimum tillage, to enhance soil fertility and reduce soil erosion.

Authors: Nakagama Hitomi , Cho Wanghee
Published: February 2025

After the Great East Japan Earthquake, the household sector of public welfare is promoting the introduction of distributed energy systems by diversifying energy sources and applying local energy use as one of the energy supply measures in case of a disaster. This study introduced an energy-sharing system in the housing complexes to examine whether each house with different family composition and life patterns (i.e., different energy use patterns) could use energy more efficiently. The target energy in the housing complexes was set to electricity, which was generated by photovoltaic panels and stored in storage batteries. The strategy for stable electricity supply and profit generation was as follows: (1) electricity generated by photovoltaic panels is consumed first in the housing complexes; (2) the remaining electricity is stored in a large-capacity storage battery for the operation of the cooling and heating system; (3) afterward, electricity is sold directly to nearby housing complexes at a lower price than the supply price of electricity companies and at a higher price than when sold to electricity companies. The calculation results show that the profit from the sale of surplus electricity and the reduction rate of CO2 emissions were evaluated. The annual electricity purchase was 87 MWh, which decreased by 52% due to the introduction of the electricity-sharing system. Annual electricity sales were 433 MWh. The annual profit from selling surplus electricity directly to nearby houses was 1.14 times higher than selling to electricity companies. The CO2 emission reduction rate was 56.2%.
