Geolinguistic structures of dialect phonology in the German-speaking Alpine region: A dialectometric approach using crowdsourcing data
Authors: Vergeiner Philip C. , Bülow Lars
Published: December 2023

The Alpine region stands out in the German-speaking world for its well-preserved traditional dialects, which continue to play a significant role in daily life. However, the vast geographical range of the Alpine region and the limitations imposed by national and regional borders have hindered comprehensive investigations of the entire Alpine area. To overcome these obstacles, this study utilizes crowdsourcing data from the VerbaAlpina project to investigate phonological and morpho-phonological variation in the German-speaking Alpine region. Although the data were collected in a written form and with a focus on lexical variation, it is shown that the data contain detailed phonological information. By using multivariate dialectometric measurements (i.e. factor analysis [FA]) based on 19 (morpho-)phonological variables (comprising 8,582 tokens), the study explores the geolinguistic structures of the German dialects in the Alpine region. The results confirm, on a general level, the validity of the traditionally established dialect classification. However, the findings also reveal previously underrated border effects, in particular for Bavarian dialects along the German-Austrian border, which are argued to be the outcome of divergence processes. Hence, the study highlights the importance of cross-dialectal and cross-national perspectives in understanding dialect variation and emphasizes the value of crowdsourcing data for dialectological research.
Off-record indirectness in Jordanian Arabic
Authors: Al-Adaileh Bilal A.
Published: December 2023

This paper is an attempt to explore the realisation and motives of off-record indirectness as a common mode of conversation in naturally occurring social interactions in Jordanian Arabic. It is found that off-record indirectness mirrors speaker’s considerateness of the face wants of the speech act recipient, communicating face-threatening acts indirectly. The need to be polite justifies conversation partners’ deliberate flouting of Grice’s maxims and using conversational implicatures. Indirect means of communication and the employment of abbreviated conversations are also used for humour and as a preferred style and solidarity marker among family members, intimates and closely related people. It is also found that there are instances of off-record indirectness that might be perceived as impolite. In support of other scholars’ arguments, the study stresses that instances of off-record indirectness which might be perceived as impolite in terms of first-order politeness are doing interactional facework in terms of second-order politeness. Indirectness, then, may always be face work but is not always politeness.
O silêncio dos manuais didáticos de história da educação sobre a questão racial
Authors: Machado Junior Joatan Nunes , Hamdan Juliana Césario
Published: December 2023

O artigo analisou os manuais didáticos e suas edições, de 1996 a 2007, encontrados até então, da História da Educação, disciplina obrigatória em quase todos os cursos de licenciaturas para a formação de professores da educação básica no Brasil. A análise concentra-se em como eles abordam a questão da História e Cultura da África e dos Afro-brasileiros, obrigatória desde a Lei 10.639/2003, em seus textos. Tais manuais foram editados e escritos no Brasil, sobretudo a partir da última LDB - Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional 9.394 de 1996. A análise busca explicitar e compreender historicamente a ausência do debate nos respectivos manuais didáticos a partir do diálogo com a produção contemporânea de autores, com trabalhos bastante relevantes na área.

Автором обґрунтовано створення інноваційного освітнього середовища з допомогою дистанційної системи навчання, що неможливе без внесення якісно нового змісту у вищу професійну освіту правника, підвищення рівня науково-методичного забезпечення освітнього процесу, упровадження інноваційних технологій і методик викладання, оволодіння студентами сучасними засобами інтерактивного навчання. У статті наголошується, що актуальним науково-методичним завданням у закладах вищої освіти, які готують правників, має стати пошук нових ефективних форм і методів вищої правової освіти: від розроблення і введення в навчальні плани нових перспективних дисциплін до впровадження інноваційних методик і форм викладання з допомогою дистанційного навчання. Тому і здійснено спробу проаналізувати нові ефективні форми і методи дистанційної правової освіти майбутніх юристів. На основі аналізу наукової та науково-методичної літератури з питань професійної діяльності викладачів доведено, що в умовах використання технологій дистанційного навчання змінюється не структура їх діяльності, а засоби здійснення, функціональна спрямованість та характер взаємодії викладачів і студентів. Разом з тим змінюється і зміст діяльності викладача, який в умовах реалізації дистанційної освіти юристів має бути направлений не на пасивне донесення інформації до них, а на проєктування процесу управління їх діяльності з опанування навчальної інформації в межах дистанційного курсу з правознавства.

У статті досліджено психоемоційний стан учасників АТО. Виявлено, що лише третина респондентів вдало адаптувалася до міжособистісних стосунків. Однак є й такі, які відчувають зниження працездатності, що сприяє розвитку незадоволеності та необхідності у психологічній консультації. У ході дослідження в опитаних спостерігаються ознаки психоемоційної нестійкості, що заважає трудовій діяльності і впливає на поведінку у напруженій або стресовій ситуації. Учасники АТО, демонструючи неправильну самооцінку, важко встановлюють соціальні контакти і проявляють хворобливе ставлення до критики. Такі респонденти постійно відчувають напруженість у спілкуванні з іншими людьми, вони не готові йти на контакт, їм складно адаптуватися у соціумі. Аналіз морально-етичних норм засвідчив, що демобілізовані не готові їх дотримуватися, і в пріоритеті для них важливішими є свої інтереси, аніж групові. Ефективною допомогою для бійців АТО сьогодні вважається проведення психологічних туристичних подорожей, які поєднують комфортний відпочинок, захоплюючий туризм, найрізноманітніші і дієві методи навчання ("опен-еір" формати терапії – у повному контакті людини з природою і культурою (подорожі по "світових місцях сили" і в центри світових духовних традицій).

Comparative study of the effects of dexmedetomidin and midazolam on respiration and hemodynamics used during facial surgery
Authors: A Kishman , M Sholjakova , A Kartalov , B Kuzmanovska , D Angjushev , V Demjanski , V Durnev
Published: December 2023

Background: The interventions in facial surgery are specific, short, and very painful. The place of the surgery can compromise a patient’s airway. Surgeons prefer to give local infiltrative anesthetics, but during the surgery patients are nervous, stressed, restless and ask for drugs to be asleep/ask for sleep medication. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) as an agent for analgosedation can meet the needs of those patients. Dex is an alpha 2 adrenergic agonist with sedative, anxiolytic and analgesic properties; Midazolam (Mdz) is the most often used drug for classical sedation, a drug from the benzodiazepine group. Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the effects on circulation and respiration of two drugs, dexmedetomidine (Dex) and midazolam (Mdz). Blood pressure, Puls/min, respiration/min, SpO2, incidents of bradycardia, hypotension, hypoxia, and other complications were measured and compared in the two groups. Material and methods: Sixty patients for facial surgery who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. Due to a computed choice/option, patients were allocated to be sedated with Dex (n=30) or Mdz (n=30). After signing a written consent for inclusion in the study, prior to surgery all patients got two venous lines and were preoperatively monitored. Patients of Dex group received a bolus of Dex 1 mcg/kg given in 10 minutes. The sedation was maintained with an additional dose of Dex of 0.5 mcg/kg/h, which was disconnected at the end of the surgery. Patients of Mdz group received a bolus of Mdz of 0.03 mg/kg followed by an infusion of Mdz of 0.2 mg/kg/h, which was disconnected at the end of the surgery. The vital signs (ECG, BP, P/min, Res/min, SpO2, ETCO2, BIS) were monitored and noted on 5-minute intervals. Results: The obtained results were statistically analyzed. Demographic data showed homogeneity between the groups. All patients prior to procedural sedation got local infiltrative anesthesia with lidocaine 1%. There was insignificant difference in duration of the surgical procedure between the groups (p>0.05) and prolonged induction to sedation in the Dex group (10.6±2.7* vs. 1.9±1.7); p=0.01. Blood pressure of patients in the Dex group showed a significant decrease and was lower than that in the Mdz group (p=0.05). Also, P/min in the Dex group was lower than in the Mdz group (74.45±14.84*vs. 84.13±12.88) p=0.03. The results from the monitored respiration showed a statistically significant decrease in respiration/minute in the Mdz group (p=0.05) and decrease in SpO2, (p=0.02). Conclusion: We found that Dex, used as an agent for analgosedation for facial surgery, is a safe drug providing hypotension and mild bradycardia which are easy for treatment with vasoconstrictors and a sedation without effects on respiration. Patients in the Dex group were more comfortable, and their satisfaction was higher than in patients in the Mdz group.

The use of LEDs for plant lighting (phytolighting) provides a more energy- efficient alternative to traditional lighting methods. Combination of LEDs with different spectral composition and the possibility to change the composition of resulting radiation in a single lighting device allows one to improve the efficiency of phytolighting systems and optimize them for different conditions of plant growth and development. In this work, we have investigated quasi-monochromatic LEDs specialized for efficient phytolighting and efficient white LEDs with different CRI. Being based on the research, the most effective LEDs for building phytolighting systems have been identified, and their optimal ratio with red quasi-monochromatic LEDs for building phytolighting systems in rooms with a constant presence of people (greenhouses, winter gardens, etc) has been determined.
‘talempong batu’ Lithophone of Talang Anau (West Sumatra) and its Astonishing Tuning System
Authors: Louven Christoph
Published: December 2023

In 1995 I was asked to acoustically analyse recordings of a nearly unknown lithophone from a small village in West-Sumatra. The talempong batu consists of six large stones of unknown grey to beige material, which look quite rough and natural and are approximately 100 to 150 cm long, 30 to 40 cm wide and 15 to 25 cm thick. All six stones show a complex spectrum with inharmonic overtones that is typical of vibrating 3D objects. The interval matrix between the lowest partials of all six stones was determined. The analysis of the tuning system showed quite unexpected results: the four lowest stones establish a complex system of intervals, which perfectly matches some intervals that are known as perfect major third (5/4, 386.31 cent), ‘Pythagorean’ ditone (81/64, 407.82 cent), and syntonic comma (81/80, 21.51 cent). The deviation between these theoretical intervals and the measured intervals from the instrument is less than the just-noticeable pitch difference (JND) that the human ear can detect. If it is assumed that this system did not simply evolve by chance, its existence allows us to draw some important conclusions on the cultural background and capabilities of its creators.
Success factors of real estate crowdfunding projects: Evidence from Spain
Authors: Badrova Aliaksandra , Ņečiporuka Marija , Lublóy Ágnes
Published: December 2023

Real estate crowdfunding is a relatively new alternative financing and investing method. This research aims to identify factors which might increase investors' willingness to participate in real estate crowdfunding campaigns. We analyse 195 lending-based real estate crowdfunding campaigns from four Spanish platforms. Project success is measured by duration, i.e. the time required to reach the funding target. We assess the impact of the funding target, the annual return, the loan duration, several risk-related metrics and the minimum investment amount. We find that the higher the funding target and the minimum investment amount, the longer it takes to reach the target. We document that investors prefer projects where the maturity of the loan is shorter. We also find that construction-type projects reach the funding target faster than other type of fundraising goals. At the same time, we do not find any association between the annual return or risk-related metrics and project success. To assure successful fundraising, real estate crowdfunding platforms should prioritize those real estate projects which are highly popular among investors (i.e. construction-type projects with short maturity). Real estate developers, in turn, should crowdfund projects which are demanded by the crowdinvestors and use their traditional financing methods for the remaining projects.

Interspecific takeovers of nests are thought to be rare in birds. A female White-tailed Eagle Haliaeetus albicilla was observed incubating a nest of a Greylag Goose Anser anser with five eggs at Reinøya, Troms County, Norway in 2021. There were no signs of any killed geese in the area around the nest, and there had been no observations of interactions between the two species at the site before the eagle started incubating the eggs. The nest was discovered in the middle of May but was abandoned around midsummer. A similar case reported from the Isle of Mull, Scotland in 2017 was the first of its kind and originally believed to be unique, but the new case in Norway in 2021 suggests that interspecific nest takeover may not be as unusual as previously believed.

Leituras antropológicas da educação e suas relações com o capacitismo na obra de Kamome Shirahama
Authors: Spedo Vicenzzo Arrighi da Silva , Boulhosa Tatiana Machado
Published: December 2023

No presente artigo, temos como objeto de estudo o mangá de fantasia Atelier of Witch Hat, da roteirista e designer japonesa Kamome Shirahama. Nele, analisamos o universo acadêmico retratado na história e as relações com seus personagens, especialmente aqueles com deficiência. O objetivo central da pesquisa é compreender as ligações entre diferentes leituras antropológicas da educação e o processo de capacitismo estrutural estabelecido na sociedade fictícia do mangá, buscando entender como essas associações representam o contexto muitas vezes repressivo da educação. O projeto constitui-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, de natureza teórica, tratando-se de um estudo de caso dos nove volumes iniciais do mangá Atelier of Witch Hat, publicados no Brasil entre julho de 2019 e novembro de 2021 pela editora Panini Comics. Como resultado, concluímos que a autora, ao criar uma história permeada por relações conturbadas entre mestres e aprendizes, permite-nos refletir sobre como a educação tradicional e fundamentalmente tecnicista pode ser pouco eficiente ao lidar com alunos que divergem do padrão de expectativas estimulado por uma sociedade que não observa o estudante em sua totalidade cultural, histórica e social. Dessa forma, somos induzidos pelo enredo a buscar por soluções subversivas a esse sistema, que podem chegar aos conceitos de educação libertadora e humanizada, como idealizados pelo patrono da educação brasileira Paulo Freire (1921–1997).
Training with, about, for Metaverse: A Mixed Methods Research on Training Pre-Service Teachers as Metaverse-Certified Practitioners
Authors: Lee HyeJin , Hwang Yohan
Published: December 2023

This mixed-method research aims to examine transformative affordances of the metaverse for pre-service teachers and investigate support mechanisms for technology-enhanced teacher training. Specifically, 40 pre-service teachers were involved in training with, about, for metaverse (TM) to convert high-stakes TOEIC test items into virtual content. Upon completion of the TM, participants were eligible to apply for nationally accredited private metaverse certificates to mark them as certified practitioners. To capture their multifaceted TM experience, this research employed surveys based on UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) 2 constructs, as well as reflective journals and advanced analytics. The collected data were analyzed using quantitative techniques (t-tests, multiple regression analysis, and structural equation modeling) and qualitative methods (sentiment and content analysis) to offer a more comprehensive understanding of the technological training for pre-service teachers. The findings revealed that the overall reception of the TM experience among pre-service teachers was highly positive. Notable improvements were observed in facilitating conditions, effort expectancy, and hedonic motivation. Textmining results also revealed how the TM framework transformed pre-service teachers’ perspectives on teaching, testing, and learning. Based on the findings, the study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on effective technology integration in education.
Introduction
Authors: Bédard-Goulet Sara , Premat Christophe
Published: December 2023

The introduction offers a contextualization of Canadian studies, starting with the cultural diplomacy that projected an image of the country from the Massey Commission onwards. The aim of this book is to propose a transnordic journey by investigating the multiple voices of the North, focusing on Canada as an important actor of this region. Even though there are obvious similarities in landscapes, spaces and social problematics in the northern countries, it is not possible to serve a discourse merging the different Norths.
Remembering the spirit of the Beothuk: The Beothuk Saga by Bernard Assiniwi
Authors: Premat Christophe
Published: December 2023

Bernard Assiniwi wrote a complete novel on the history of the Beothuk based on ethnographic works. He paid tribute to the nation of the Beothuk with the novel illustrating a counter-narrative on this history, taking the point of view of the natives. The narrator is presented as a voice of ‘living memory’ pursuing the goals of the founder of the nation, Anin. The novel does not begin with contact with colonisers, the major part is about the precolonial history of the Beothuk. The spirit and the imaginary of the Beothuk are presented in the actions, the representations and the dreams of some of important characters for the Beothuk. Moreover, the specific gender relations of the Beothuk are underlined in the novel. By analysing the characteristics of how Assiniwi remembers the history of the Beothuk, the chapter shows how the author deplores the absence of deep contact between the Beothuk and the colonisers. Finally, the chapter explains the originality of the novel compared to ethnographic studies that were made on the Beothuk. The analysis of the novel reveals the self-perception of the history of the natives as the destiny of the Beothuk is highly representative of the devastating effects of colonialism on Native populations, even to the present day.
Eco-Memory and the Anthropocene Imagination: Ed O’Loughlin’s Minds of Winter
Authors: Šlapkauskaitė Rūta
Published: December 2023

Despite the relative dearth of ecocritical readings of Canadian literature, environmental concerns have long been part of the bedrock of theorising about Canadian culture and identity. Northrop Frye’s The Bush Garden, Margaret Atwood’s Survival, and Sherrill Grace’s Canada and the Idea of North are just three titles which highlight the foundational relationship between Canadian nature and the social order, calling our attention to the precarious enmeshments between humans and nonhumans and the discursive, physical, and biological legacies borne by the land. This chapter gives a brief overview of the conceptual stakes of Anthropocene discourse in regard to reading Canadian cultural frames and employs the lens of eco-memory to examine relationships between nature, culture, and power in contemporary English Canadian fiction. Guided by the tenets of material ecocriticism, I attend to the ways Ed O’Loughlin’s novel Minds of Winter opens avenues of the Anthropocene imagination where we can rethink the interplay of human and nonhuman historical agencies and reconceive memory as an ethical mode of ecological relationality.

La malédiction des populistes : discours sur la parole populaire au Brésil
Authors: Piovezani Carlos
Published: December 2023

In contemporary Brazil, there are often deprecations of the ways of speaking of popular leaders, who are called “populists”. Considering this phenomenon, we proceed here to an analysis of the statements of the Brazilian press that depreciate the public speech of Lula. This investigation is based on the postulates and methodological procedures of discourse analysis. Our hypothesis is that the disdain for the language of the ex-president and the stigma of “populist” attributed to Lula in the Brazilian press are fundamental discursive devices to demean democratic proposals and political actions aimed at reducing social inequalities in Brazil.
La représentation populiste. Du leader au peuple : identification, incarnation et hybridités. Le cas des affiches électorales du Front/Rassemblement national
Authors: Belhadi Morgane
Published: December 2023

In times of political crisis, populism uses visual artifacts to give concreteness to central entities such as power and the people. The campaign poster, which favours visibility, simplicity and accessibility to the message, fits particularly with the populist goals of embodying the people and bridging the political representational gap. How does political representation transfer to/become visual representation? Which visual, symbolic, psycho-affective processes are mobilized? To answer these questions, this study intends to explore the concept of representation as well as the iconography of the National Front/Rally throughout its campaign posters from 1972 to 2019.

Podemos y Vox: selección léxica y marcos de interpretación (populistas) en el programa electoral
Authors: Llamas Saíz Carmen
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to analyze the lexical selection and the interpretative frames used to appoint the receiver in the electoral programs of Podemos and Vox (2016 and 2019), two Spanish political parties at the left–right extremes, and whose discourse is considered populist. Specifically, we paid attention to four terms, selected according to criteria of higher frequency in a previous study of the same corpus: ciudadanos, ciudadanía, españoles and gente. The context of use has been analyzed in order to detect recurrent discursive patterns in both parties. We have found that, despite the fact that the terms used are different, both parties share some interpretative frames.

Authors: Chistyakova Olga
Published: December 2023

Innovative infrastructure has a significant impact on regional development, especially on the production sector. Inducing innovative initiatives and boosting the industry is a top priority direction of development of the Irkutsk region. In the context of the current sanctions and subsequent departure of foreign partners from Russia and its regions, the problem of developing their own production facilities and substituting imported products has become especially relevant. The regional innovation infrastructure is aimed at facilitating business development, supporting innovative projects, and funding them. The purpose of the study is to identify impact of innovation infrastructure on development of the production sector in the Irkutsk region. The methodology of the study is based on theoretical analysis regarding the main aspects of development of the industrial complex in the region thanks to the support provided by the innovative infrastructure. The data regarding development of innovative infrastructure in the Irkutsk region is used as the informational and empirical basis of the research. The scientific novelty lies in introducing a conceptual approach to using the innovative infrastructure of the Irkutsk region as a means of development of the production sector in the region.

The special economic measures adopted by the Russian Federation in 2014 as a response to economic sanctions of a number of foreign states have become the main reason for a large-scale import substitution policy affecting key sectors of the economy. In particular, development trends in agricultural sector continue to be observed today. Despite the fact that the implementation of import substitution policy is successful, the question of its effectiveness remains. The purpose of the research was to study main results of the implementation of import substitution policy in the agricultural sector and make conclusions of its effectiveness. In addition, we also put forward a number of recommendations to increase the effectiveness of the implementation of the import substitution policy in the agricultural sector, since the not all categories of import substituting goods show significant changes in the volume of production, exports or import. As the study found the Russian Federation adheres to the strategy of export-oriented import substitution. We concluded that work to improve the efficiency of the implementation of the import substitution policy should continue.
Keywords. Import substitution policy, special economic measures, import-substituting goods, agricultural products, production, export, import.
Analysis and Theoretical Interpretation of the Correlation Model of Electron Fluxes in Geostationary Orbit
Authors: Popov George
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes of results of the correlation model of electron fluxes in the geostationary orbit and their correspondence to the physics of the magnetosphere and the ideas about the mechanisms of the appearance of energetic electrons in the geostationary orbit. A variant of the system approach to the correlation analysis of electron fluxes on the GO is proposed, in which the «magnetosphere» system is represented by a system consisting of three subsystems embedded in it. The study confirms the prospects of its further development by the fact that it allows to explain the presence of upper limits in the calculations of correlation coefficients and the detected patterns in the calculated delay times.

The growth of agricultural production and the internalization of the industrial sector has led to a significant increase in the populations of small and medium-sized towns in the Midwest region of Brazil. This movement increases the demand for a built environment and promotes the anthropization of the landscape in these cities, altering the ecosystem in general, but especially the local microclimate. This study therefore aims to map and classify the urban perimeter of the municipality of Nova Mutum, located in the north of the state of Mato Grosso, using the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) methodology. To this end, the area studied was divided into 500x500 meter quadrants, which, using satellite images made available, by Google Earth Pro, were analyzed individually, taking into account elements such as densification, land cover and verticalization. Once the existing zones in the study area had been identified, a Climate Zones map was generated, which was analyzed and cross-referenced with data from the municipal urban legislation. As a result, the municipality has an urban perimeter considerably larger than the area occupied by the urban network, so that a large part of the perimeter is occupied by agricultural production, classified as LCZ D, with herbaceous vegetation. In addition, the municipality already has areas of verticalization and medium-sized densification, mainly in the central zones, which requires attention from the public authorities and local urban planning due to the generation of urban heat islands.

The structure and cell types of the organs of Halobates hayanus from Libong Island, Thailand, were investigated using a histological method. The integumentary system of this species consists of three layers: epicuticle, exocuticle, and endocuticle. Throughout the body, the muscular system exclusively included skeletal muscle. In the excretory system, we found four fully formed Malpighian tubules, each one lined with a straightforward cuboidal epithelium harbouring secretory granules. The digestive system comprised a foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The midgut had three distinct cell types: basal cells, epithelium, and absorptive cells. The nervous system comprised two regions: A ventral nerve cord and a frontal ganglion, which is connected to the eye structure. The frontal ganglion was composed of two lobes each containing an outer cortex and inner medulla. The outer cortex presented neurosecretory cells, neuroglia cells, and neurons. The neurosecretory cells were large and contained secretory granules in their cytoplasm. This histological study also showed the reproductive system of this gerrid species, including the reproductive tract, and the accessory organ.

Mud volcano material is generally rich in oxides, while oxides are the main compounds forming rare earth elements. Bledug Kuwu, Central Java, Indonesia, is one of the active mud volcanoes, so there may be rare earth elements. This research is the characterization of rare earth elements (REE) in the Bledug Kuwu mud using magnetic and geochemical methods. Magnetic characterization uses magnetic susceptibility measurements. The geochemical characterization of the mud samples consisted of the XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence), XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), ICP-EOS (inductively coupled plasma) test, and the SEM-EDS (Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) test. The results of the geochemical analysis of the Bledug Kuwu mud sample were the content of quartz, kaolinite, and calcite with an average concentration of 42.26%, 23.67%, and 33.96%. The susceptibility of Kuwu's mud is 0 because the concentration of metal elements is low; according to the results of XRF, XRD, and SEM tests identified the main mud elements as C, O, Si, Ca, and Al. The rare earth elements in Kuwu's mud are Ce, Dy, Eu, Gd, Ho, La, Nd, Pr, Sm, Tb, Y, and Sc. The highest concentrations were Ce 52.22 ppm and La 47.95 ppm.

Fish viscera has been locally applied as fly attractant in North Moluccas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of attractant from fish viscera extracts and to determine the indispensable active extracts with chemometric FTIR fingerprints, as well as to characterize volatile compounds of the extracts. Attractant activity against house fly Musca domesctica and FTIR spectra were analyzed for the ethanol, acetone and hexane extracts of stomach, intestines, liver, and combination of the viscera from skipjack tuna stored for 1-2 days at room temperature. SPME-GC-MS analysis was applied for active extracts to determine volatile compounds. OPLS analysis result showed that FTIR spectra were correlated with the attractant activity (R2 0.974 and Q2 0.89), and compounds with functional groups S-H, N-H, O-H, and C-O have the strong correlation. Ethanol and acetone extracts of mixed viscera from 2 days storage are the active extracts. The volatile compounds in the extract through the SPME-GC-MS analysis belong to ketone, amine, phenol, heterocyclic, aromatic aldehyde, fatty acid, fatty acid ester and sulfur compounds are reported.

Penyelidikan selama 16 minggu telah dijalankan untuk menilai impak semburan Isi Padu Ultra-Rendah (ULV) minyak pati Piper aduncum ke atas populasi vektor di lapangan dengan sipermetrin berfungsi sebagai kawalan positif. Kedua-duanya dinilai terhadap sentinel dewasa yang diberi gula dan larva instar ke-3 Aedes aegypti di kawasan perumahan yang mewakili kawasan wabak denggi manakala Ae. albopictus diuji di kawasan bukan wabak. Kesan minyak pati tumbuhan dan piretroid terhadap populasi lapangan larva Ae. aegypti dipantau setiap minggu menggunakan bekas botol. Setiap kawasan mempunyai kawasan kawalannya tersendiri yang disembur dengan aseton 0.1% (kawalan negatif). Kesan penggunaan semburan ULV diukur dengan indeks ovitrap (OI) dalam rumah dan luar rumah. Pengurangan OI yang ketara diperhatikan di dalam dan di luar, di kawasan yang dirawat berbanding dengan kawasan kawalan (p <0.05). Pengurangan OI dicapai dari semasa ke semasa di kawasan yang dirawat terutama setiap kali selepas semburan dilakukan. Kedua-dua ekstrak P. aduncum dan cypermethrin menunjukkan potensi kesan membunuh terhadap nyamuk dewasa di lapangan. Menariknya minyak pati P. aduncum menunjukkan potensi sebagai larvisid apabila memberikan kematian 75.7% untuk luar rumah dan 48.5% untuk larva di dalam rumah selepas semburan yang signifikan pada p<0.05. Secara kesimpulannya, minyak pati P. aduncum yang disembur secara semburan ULV berkesan dalam memberikan impak terhadap populasi vektor denggi dan memberikan kesan ke atas larva yang secara tidak langsung telah menyebabkan penindasan populasi larva lapangan.
