A Geodatabase Design for the Development of a Digital Twin for Urban Environments: A Case Study from Turin, Italy
Authors: Yadav Yogender , Colucci Elisabetta , Boccardo Piero , Zlatanova Sisi
Published: October 2024

Abstract. 3D City models are essential for urban planning, accurately visualizing, analyzing, and simulating urban environments. They find applications in various fields like AEC (Architecture and Construction), urban and transportation planning, development and conservation processes, energy systems monitoring, and many more. Extensive datasets for the 3D City Models need to be organized following international standards to make them reusable and sharable for different stakeholders. Designing a Geodatabase (GeoDB) for a 3D city model is crucial for data management as it is helpful in the streamlined visualization and analysis of the city's features and relations among its objects. Over the years, 3D city models have evolved into Urban Digital Twins, offering dynamic real-time simulations of cities and even better management and analysis of urban processes. This transition from 3D city models to UDTs enhances decision-making by providing detailed insights into the dynamics of urban systems, enabling better urban management and planning. This research concentrates on building a GeoDB to support the UDT. The paper discusses the data acquisition, processing, and integration methodologies.Additionally, it highlights the significance of utilizing advanced remote sensing technologies such as aerial LiDAR and aerial photogrammetry to enhance the digital twin’s quality and richness in detail. The semantics of the built environment datasets are clarified and strictly defined for the most important UDT features, such as buildings, roads, trees, and other features. This will ensure everyone can interpret the data similarly, leading to better analysis and decision-making.

Authors: Yan Zitong , Wu Hao , Zhang Jun , Hou Dongyang
Published: October 2024

Abstract. Cultivated land is the basic resource and material condition for human survival, providing the necessary material basis for agricultural development and agricultural modernization (Tian and Shi, 2024). For this reason, this paper takes Beijing as an experimental area to study the cultivated land extraction method and analyze the distribution pattern of cultivated land and the degree of fragmentation. The results show that (1) the extraction results are evaluated by using confusion matrix and Kappa coefficient, and the Kappa coefficient is obtained to be 0.8358.(2) The cultivated land in Beijing is mainly distributed in the southeast as well as the northwest of the local area of gentle terrain, and the The range of the extremely high value of cultivated land kernel density in 2017–2022 is significantly reduced, the slope of the area with the smallest reduction in the proportion of cultivated land is less than 5°, the reduction in the area of cultivated land in water resource-rich areas is small, and the reduction in the proportion of cultivated land in road-intensive areas is large. (3) Due to various natural factors and human activities, the degree of cultivated land fragmentation in Beijing is increasing, the boundary shape of cultivated land patches tends to be irregular.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. Geospatial data refers to data that related to spatial location. It is the abstract representation of objects, events, or other characteristic information located on or near the surface of the Earth. It characterizes attribute features, spatial features, and associated information of geospatial features. Geospatial data commonly include various data types such as point, polyline, polygon, and so on. Geospatial database is the basic method to store and manage geospatial data. It is also the important component of geographic information systems (GIS). Geospatial database generally stores data in a specific structure in a medium, which can achieve efficient management of geospatial data. Users can add, modify, and delete data efficiently. Furthermore, query retrieval and statistical analysis can be quickly performed based on geospatial database. In this paper, distributed geospatial database is constructed by using database partition tables storage technology. Meanwhile, database construction software is developed to achieve the construction, management, and application of large-scale geospatial data. It can improve data import, query and retrieval efficiency significantly. The database application service system can directly connect to the database for displaying statistical analysis results. At the same time, geospatial data are processed to vector tiles, which stored in the tile database. Furthermore, standard online service is then published, which can be used for database management and application service system. It can be used for natural resource management work such as basic surveying, survey and monitoring, and so on.
Digital Archives for Academic Heritage: Tools and Processing Environments for the Museum Metaverse and Scientific Dissemination
Authors: Bocconcino Maurizio M. , Garzino Giorgio , Pavignano Martino , Vozzola Mariapaola
Published: October 2024

Abstract. In recent years the digital visualisation techniques, including 3D digital models of indoor spaces, saw an exponential increase in their applications, both in the fields of Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and of Cultural Heritage (CH). This growth is mainly due to the increasing affordability of tools for the acquisition and elaboration of three-dimensional digital survey/data management and to their increasing ‘user friendliness’.The research proposes a further step on research started some years ago by our group about the exploration of indoor mapping for the creation of the 3D virtual museum of our Institution, starting with the realisation of a virtual model of the university’s spaces (departments and halls). At first, the virtual museum will host the Curioni Digital Collection, which consist of circa 140 wooden models of building details, bridges, tunnels, and vaults designed by prof. G. Curioni during the second half of the XIX century as teaching aids for the Construction and Structural Design classes. A comparison between two main tools to support management and diffusion of geometrical, alphanumerical, and topological data will be given (Matterport and Unity). The parallel approach considering two tools is to provide a digital twin of a real collection placed in a real space, and, on the other hand, to use a real historical university space, virtualized, to host a virtual collection.

Published: October 2024

Abstract. The integration of low-cost thermal sensors with Apple Smart Devices supports the generation of 3D point clouds that include temperature indicators. This generates a new perspective for the study of buildings, allowing for fast and reliable examination of physical building structures. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to demonstrate the use of affordable sensors for 3D thermal point cloud generation. The study involved capturing data from the LiDAR and thermal sensors, followed by an extrinsic calibration process to align the datasets. Subsequently, the point cloud was segmented based on different acquisition poses of the device and finally, the thermal data was projected onto the 3D model, integrating temperature information with spatial coordinates. Our results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for three-dimensional point cloud generation in indoor environments, highlighting significant thermal variations and enabling thermal mapping of building structures. Furthermore, our findings underscore the feasibility of employing low-cost sensors for generating detailed thermal models, opening possibilities for widespread adoption in various building analysis applications. This approach provides a comprehensive and cost-effective solution for building monitoring, democratizing access to advanced evaluation tools.
The Collateral Damage of Policy Reform: Low-Income Women Retirees, State Feminism, and the Pension System in Sweden
Authors: Gustafsson Anna
Published: October 2024

In 2014, the Swedish government declared itself the first feminist government in the world. Indeed, the country has been successful in promoting gender equality, yet many retired women, particularly in rural areas, live on an income below the EU poverty line. Based on analysis of Sweden’s pension system, the country’s commitment to gender equality, and interviews with low-income women pensioners in rural Sweden, this article explores why some women end up living in poverty in later life. The article demonstrates how the Swedish pension reform of the 1990s has generated a structural lag; today’s older women have lived during times that were radically different from the world nowadays, yet their pensions are based on forward-looking ideals. Consequently, today’s older women have become “collateral damage” (Bauman 2011) of securing a new form of pension system, and seemingly also neglected in the state’s promise of ensuring gender equality.
Teaching in Active Learning Classrooms at a Canadian University
Authors: Najafi Hedieh , Rolheiser N. Carol , Gordon Kelly Ann
Published: October 2024

This article describes an evaluation of a campus wide Active Learning initiative to examine instructors’ experiences teaching in Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) at a Canadian University. ALCs at this university differ in size, layout, and audio-visual equipment. The participants were 21 instructors from different disciplines who had taught courses in various ALCs who were interviewed to explore their pedagogical decision-making, teaching experiences, and their access to ALC-specific, pedagogical and technological support. Instructors explained their classroom management strategies specific to ALCs, discussed how physical and technological features of different ALCs impacted the extent of necessary revisions to their courses, and highlighted logistical issues in being assigned to ALCs that may fit the requirements of their courses. Based on the findings, we pose a series of recommendations to offices responsible for classroom assignment, academic departments, and centres for faculty support and development. Overall, instructors would benefit from advance notice of ALC room assignment, just-in-time and self-directed opportunities regarding integrating Active Learning strategies in instruction, and access to orientation sessions and multimedia documentation developed for different types of ALCs.
The Impact of Two-Stage Testing and Other Tutorial Co-Learning Activities on Cohort Cohesion and Learning Outcomes in a Large-Enrollment Undergraduate Course
Authors: Mahalingam Sajeni , Moinuddin Ali , Rodriguez-Moncalvo Veronica
Published: October 2024

Large enrollments in undergraduate courses pose several teaching and learning challenges that impact students’ learning experience and performance. Implementing co-learning activities in tutorials of large courses can help mitigate these challenges and improve the learning environment. One type of collaborative learning activity that has become increasingly popular is two-stage testing but there are limitations to how two-stage testing has been conducted. We undertook a study to elucidate whether our modified two-stage testing protocol and other co-learning activities performed in tutorials can enhance the learning experiences of undergraduate students and foster a sense of community in a large-enrollment research methods course. The specific aims of our study were to: 1) Assess whether co-learning activities including two stage testing in tutorials improves learning outcomes and fosters cohort cohesion in a large-enrollment junior undergraduate science course. 2) Evaluate the impact of our modified two-stage testing approach on student learning and long-term retention. To assess cohort cohesion students were asked to complete a survey and were invited to participate in focus groups. Results indicated that tutorials did foster cohort cohesion among students in the tutorial. The tutorial activities helped scale down the course size and connect with their peers. We tested our modified two-stage testing protocol by administering a two-stage test (an individual test consisting of short-answer questions followed by a group test that was comprised of a subset of the individual test questions that was completed during tutorials). Approximately three months after the individual test, a retention test was administered. Student grades were significantly higher in group tests compared to the individual tests. Interestingly, students on average scored 6.2% higher on the retention test questions that were from the group test, compared to questions that were only on the individual test. These results support the idea that group tests help improve student retention. Students reported tutorials and two-stage testing to be a positive learning experience.
How Do Course-Based Assessments Change in The Shift to Emergency Remote Teaching? Sustainable Assessment Strategies Through an Authenticity Lens
Authors: Hobbins Justine , Houston Emilie , Ritchie Kerry
Published: October 2024

The shift from face-to-face (F2F) to emergency remote teaching (ERT) in response to COVID-19 has presented concerns for assessment in student learning. This study presents the comparison of a health science curriculum in F2F and ERT settings regarding assessments (count, type, authenticity) using our Authentic Assessment Tool and institutionally standardized course syllabi. Five hundred and seventeen assessments in 61 courses in ERT were inventoried (count, type) and subsequently categorized as 1 (low), 2 (moderate), or 3 (high) on core authenticity characteristics: realism, cognitive challenge, evaluative judgement criteria and feedback. These data were compared to a recent curriculum-wide F2F scan (457 assessments in 62 courses). Results show in the shift to ERT, the total number of both tests and assignments increased with a greater proportion of marks comprised of assignments (44% ERT versus 37% F2F). Curriculum-wide authenticity scores were similar (1.8 ± 0.4 ERT versus 1.8 ± 0.6 F2F), although this trend was because nearly an equal proportion of courses increased and decreased authenticity. The largest number of courses (n=30) making improvements on individual characteristics of authenticity did so regarding the dimension feedback. This work presents modest yet actionable items to achieve authenticity for consideration in assessment design as institutions begin to produce and consider policies regarding course structure and assessment design in the post-COVID educational context.

Published: October 2024

This pilot study explored undergraduate students’ experiences with goal setting and time management. We embedded a series of mandatory planning and reflection assignments into two undergraduate courses. Assignments were unique to each course, but emphasized goal setting, planning and time management, and reflection. Qualitative analyses revealed that students valued the importance of academic success and well-being. They used various strategies to plan and manage their time but struggled with balancing schoolwork and well-being. Our findings highlight the need to support students in developing goal setting and time management skills, setting realistic goals, and following through on their plans.
Creating a Gender-inclusive Learning Environment in Spanish Language Classrooms
Authors: Carter Diana , George Angela , Langevin Francis
Published: October 2024

Non-binary speakers often struggle to describe themselves within the binary gender system of Spanish. This is even more of a challenge for learners of Spanish who are used to describing themselves in English without having to identify their gender. Our study investigates how we can create a more inclusive learning experience in our Spanish language classrooms. To answer our research question, we conducted a needs analysis through the distribution of an online survey and a series of 20-minute interviews with students and instructors of Spanish in Western Canada. Through these methods, we determined what participants already know about gender-neutral and inclusive language, and what they want or need to know to be able to use and teach inclusive language. Participants were also given the opportunity to share their suggestions and ideas as to how to create a more inclusive learning environment. The key findings indicated that both instructors and students need education and training, and access to teaching and learning resources to normalize the use of gender-inclusive language in the Spanish classroom, which in return will help foster a learning space that is inclusive of all students.
Layering at all Levels: Integrating Layered Curriculum in Postsecondary Education
Authors: Seiler Stephanie
Published: October 2024

Calls to increase active learning, an approach that positions students in the center of their learning experience, have increased considerably in recent decades. In response, there has been substantial work to expand our understanding and implementation of active learning approaches in many educational spaces. However, much of this instructional design has concentrated on elementary and secondary learning levels, with less development of practice and scholarship focused on active learning in postsecondary education (PSE). Layered curriculum (LC) (Nunley & Evin Gencel, 2019) is an approach to active learning, as well a form of differentiated instruction (DI), that offers students innovative ways to engage with and demonstrate their learning. The model includes three layers of learning, each with its own group of learning activities and assessments, that guide a student’s progression from foundational to more complex engagement with a subject. While the use of this approach is less frequent in PSE, and discussions and evidence of its implementation are limited in the PSE literature, this paper will explore why the integration of LC would especially benefit postsecondary learners. The challenges to its integration in PSE will be addressed, including mitigation strategies, and the importance of collaborative curriculum design.

Authors: Quintyne Kelvin , Sohrabi Tayebeh , Arif Abu , Adu-Boateng Simon , Boison Benjamin , Badenhorst Cecile , Fitzpatrick Beverly
Published: October 2024

As part of a two-semester advanced research methodology course, five PhD students completed three sketches—beginning, middle, and end of course—to represent how they were thinking and feeling about themselves as doctoral students as they progressed through their first year. They also wrote reflections to complement the sketches and shared their sketches in class. At the end of the course, the students co-led a study with their two instructors to examine their learnings and understandings gained from sketching. The students wrote individual narratives about their experiences and the instructors wrote narratives about how sketching was part of their pedagogical thinking. The analysis revealed seven student themes, including positive outcomes and challenges associated with sketching. One positive outcome was that students felt empowered as the sketches gave them the opportunity to reflect back on their progress, both cognitively and emotionally, over their first year of doctoral studies. Sketching itself was a challenge for some, but all felt that it was a powerful experience. Sketching provided the instructors with insights they might not have gotten through words alone, enhancing their sense of teaching and learning, and gave them valuable information to support the students.

Authors: Bancin Udurta , Bustami Bustami , Rosnita Lidya
Published: October 2024

Mental health issues among students have become a significant concern affecting their quality of life and academic performance. An effective expert system is needed to diagnose and provide appropriate interventions. This research develops a web-based expert system that utilizes the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) method combined with a positive psychology approach to diagnose mental health disorders in students. The CBR method identifies similarities between new and previous cases, while the positive psychology approach focuses on individual strengths and potential for growth. The system integrates a database of student mental health cases and CBR algorithms to produce relevant diagnoses. This study investigates four types of mental health disorders: panic, anxiety, stress, and depression. The method used for data analysis is Case-Based Reasoning. The diagnosis results are based on calculations from symptom choices within the system, where each symptom has a weight. The highest similarity calculation obtained from past cases is used as a solution to address the problem. System testing, based on expert knowledge with 15 test data samples categorized by mental health disorders and 38 symptoms, achieved an accuracy rate of 85%.

Physical therapy students’ perceived levels and sources of stress during clinical education experiences
Authors: Dutton Lisa L. , Anderson Christina
Published: October 2024

Purpose: Stress has been linked to poor performance and mental health disorders in health professions students. Very little is known about health professions students’ stress during clinical education. The purpose of this study was to explore the levels and sources of stress experienced by Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students during the clinical education portion of their curriculum.
Methods: In this cross-sectional, descriptive study, 925 first-, second-, and third-year DPT students from eight Midwestern colleges and universities were invited to complete an electronic survey during a clinical experience. The survey included demographic information, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Undergraduate Sources of Stress (USOS) scale.
Results: The response rate was 28% with a total of 259 returned surveys. The mean PSS score was 14.15 out of a possible 40, with a range from 0 to 30. There were significant differences in levels of stress based on program year and clinical level. No significant differences in level or sources of stress were noted based on gender or clinical setting. Academic sources were the greatest source of stress reported. Amount of student debt and percentage of responsibility for graduate education were significantly correlated with financial sources of stress.
Conclusion: Participants in this study reported mean PSS scores during clinical education experiences similar to those previously reported for physical therapy. Identifying perceived stress levels, sources of stress, and mitigating factors has the potential to improve the health of students and positively impact patient care.
Décroissance et capital : Assembler une théorie du changement centrée sur le pouvoir
Authors: Vastenaekels Julien
Published: October 2024

Making degrowth emerge from the confines of capitalism remains a major challenge. In this context, this thesis develops a power-centred theory of change, noting that the literature on degrowth has done little to investigate the obstacles to transformations or their potential for systemic scale in the face of capital accumulation. Examining and rethinking the relationship between capital accumulation and degrowth, conceptualising the key dynamics of transformation and resistance, and developing exploratory scenarios, this research draws on an interdisciplinary, processual and systemic approach. Inspired principally by the theory of Capital as Power, the thesis conceptualises transition as a confrontation between transformation and sabotage. The thesis offers an original perspective on the challenges and possibilities of transition to degrowth in a capitalist context, inviting a renewal of thinking about socio-ecological change and a direct confrontation with capitalist power dynamics.

Objetivou-se compreender a influência da primeira instituição de Ensino Superior do município de Cajazeiras para com a educação de mulheres no alto sertão[1] paraibano. O estudo é exploratório-descritivo e de abordagem qualitativa. Os dados procederam de fontes documentais e orais. Embora destinada a homens e mulheres, a Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Cajazeiras (FAFIC), nos anos primeiros nove anos de funcionamento (1970-1979), teve suas vagas majoritariamente preenchidas por mulheres (n=1.668, 75,78%). A maioria dessas mulheres eram professoras que depositavam na formação superior a esperança de acessão profissional. De maneira geral, os ex-alunos da faculdade preenchiam os novos postos na docência, inclusive na própria instituição. A expressiva presença feminina em meio ao alunado do Ensino Superior de Cajazeiras não representou a superação das contradições de gênero.

Published: October 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a temática do trabalho infantil em olarias (industrias de telhas e tijolos no município de Russas – CE), sob a luz da teoria marxiana. Uma realidade presente nos dias atuais, mesmo com as políticas públicas de “combate” ao trabalho infantil. Políticas essas, que em grande parte, são executadas apenas para dar uma satisfação a sociedade, pois, na realidade as crianças continuam acompanhando os pais para exercerem determinadas funções nos trabalhos dentro das olarias. O município de Russas é reconhecido no Ceará como um polo na produção de telhas e tijolos, sendo esse produto, vendido para Estados da região nordeste. Desse modo, pensar as questões que fazem parte da engrenagem desse processo de produção é de grande importância para se compreender as relações sociais estabelecidas no contexto apresentado. Notícias do jornal O povo, divulgadas no ano de 2021, denunciam o trabalho de crianças em olarias em condições análogas à escravidão. Assim, o objetivo central deste artigo é trazer a exploração do trabalho infantil em uma perspectiva crítica por meio dos escritos de Marx, Engels e de seus intérpretes para compreender como essa prática utilizada nos primórdios da Revolução Industrial se faz presente e se ressignifica nos tempos atuais.
Radiological and clinical femoroacetabular impingement after slipped capital femoral epiphysis treated by in situ fixation
Authors: FRADET J , KONEAZNY C , PFIRRMANN C , LALIOUI A , HARPER L , ANGELLIAUME A
Published: October 2024

Background: The treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is always surgical. In situ fixation (ISF) is widely accepted to stop the epiphysis slipping. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is recognized as a complication after ISF and is one of the major causes of early hip osteoarthritis.

Study aim: The aim of this study was to characterize the relation between clinical and radiological signs of FAI.

Methods: A monocentric study that included all consecutive children treated for SCFE by ISF between 2006 and 2017 was performed. Clinical examination consisted in range of motion (ROM) measurement for both hips, impingements tests and functional scores (Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Womac score). Radiological analysis was based on signs of impingement (alpha angle, anterior head neck offset (OS), anterior head neck offset ratio (HNOR).

Results: 36 hips were included. At follow-up, the difference between the mean hip ROM on the SCFE side and the healthy side were statistically significant in abduction and in internal rotation. Ten (28%) hips presented at least one clinical test positive for FAI (FADDIR and/or FABER). All the patients presented a good or excellent functional score. Eight patients (22%) presented all radiological signs of impingement; among these, 3 had a clinical sign of FAI. Twenty-eight hips (78%) presented at least one radiological sign of FAI; among these, 10 had clinical signs of FAI.

Conclusion: Despite a high rate of radiological FAI, less than one-third of patients have clinical signs of FAI after ISF for SCEFE.

The Quantitative evaluative approach with pre- experimental one group pre test and post test design was used in the study to determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding Risk factors and Prevention of Suicidal Behaviour among Adolescents. The conceptual framework for the study was based on Modified Imogene king’s goal attainment theory. The tool used in this study consists of three sections. Section one was demographic variables and section two was structured self administered questionnaire to assess the pretest and post test knowledge and section three was structured teaching programme regarding risk factors and prevention of suicidal behavior. Systematic purposive sampling technique was used to select the samples, and data were collected from 60 adolescents of AVK College, Bangalore.The paired ‘t’ test value is 7.35 which is significantly higher than the table value of 2.0009 at p≤0.05 level. Thus the structured teaching programme is effective in improving the knowledge regarding Risk factors and Preventive measures for Suicidal Behavior among Adolescents.The results of the tests conducted using chi-square tests show that the significant association between the levels of knowledge of the adolescent with their selected demographic variables with sex (χ 2 = 0.886), Monthly income of family (χ 2 = 10.69) were statistically significant and there no significant association between other variables like age, education of mother, occupation of family, type of family, has any family member/ friend attempted or committed suicide, History of mental illness in your family and Source of information.There is a significant increase in knowledge score of adolescents after structured teaching programme. Therefore, it is concluded that the structured teaching programme is highly effective in increasing the knowledge of adolescents on Risk factors and Preventive measures for Suicidal Behavior.
Overview of Leech Therapy as an Alternative Treatment for Varicose Ulcers: Mechanisms and Efficacy
Authors: Khan Mohd. Maruf , Mishra Akanksha
Published: October 2024

Varicose ulcer, the most severe and debilitating complication of chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs, impart substantial obstacles in medical management because of their chronicity and propensity for recurrence. About 80 percent of ulcerations on the lower extremities are triggered by varicose ulcer. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, varicose ulceration remains a major healthcare concern due to its potential for life-threatening complications. The morbidity has a detrimental effect on life expectancy. Venous ulceration results from persistent venous pressure brought on by venous insufficiency. Although the diagnosis is primarily clinical, it must be distinguished from other lower limb ulcer causes. Reduction of edema, enhancement of ulcer healing, and avoidance of recurrence are the objectives of treatment. Although conservative care, mechanical treatment, pharmaceutical, and surgical methods are available for the treatment of venous ulcers, but Hirudotherapy, also known as leech therapy, has grown into a prominent complementary treatment option. It has the potential to promote wound healing and alleviate varicose ulcer symptoms. The objective of this review is to accord a thorough overview of the application of leech therapy to the management of varicose ulcers. The present study emphasizes on the mechanisms of action, efficacy and safety profile of leech therapy in the context of managing varicose ulcers by synthesizing a collection of available literature, clinical investigations, and case reports.
Penguatan Sistem Ketatanegaraan Indonesia berbasis Demokrasi Pancasila melalui Penghidupan Kembali Utusan Golongan

Published: October 2024

Dewasa ini, muncul wacana perubahan kelima UUD 1945 pasca perubahan terakhir pada 22 tahun yang lalu. Salah satunya ialah perubahan terkait penghidupan kembali utusan golongan dengan landasan bahwa DPD dinilai tidak mampu menggantikan peran Utusan Golongan. Dominasi unsur politisi dan pengusaha di parlemen membuat keterwakilan golongan tidak tampak pada struktur keparlemenan Indonesia saat ini sebagaimana yang pernah dicita-citakan oleh pendiri bangsa. Artikel ini akan membahas terkait urgensi dihidupkannya kembali Utusan Golongan dalam struktur parlemen di Indonesia dan konsep Utusan Golongan di masa mendatang. Penelitian ini merupakan socio legal research dengan pendekatan konseptual, peraturan perundang-undangan dan historis terkait Utusan Golongan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi pergeseran konsep keterwakilan yang didesain oleh pendiri Negara dari yang berakar pada keterwakilan menjadi keterpilihan melalui pemilu yang semata-mata mengandalkan elektabilitas. Akibatnya, keanggotaan di DPD maupun DPR belum tentu merepresentasikan keterwakilan unsur-unsur di masyarakat, semisal unsur profesi. Maka, dalam rangka mengembalikan konsep keterwakilan yang memastikan keterwakilan unsur-unsur masyarakat Indonesia yang bersifat majemuk, pemikiran untuk menghidupkan Utusan Golongan perlu dikaji. Opsi yang dapat digunakan ialah Utusan Golongan dapat menjadi bagian dari lembaga DPD atau DPR yang secara spesifik dalam rangka penguatan DPD dalam rangka memenuhi prinsip partisipasi bermakna dalam pembentukan undang-undang ke depan. Opsi lainnya ialah dengan memasukkan Utusan Golongan kedalam MPR di luar DPD dan DPR. Namun, dalam menghidupkan utusan golongan, perlu memperhatikan sistem ketatanegaraan Indonesia saat ini seperti sejalan dengan sistem presidensial

The Grey Seal Halichoerus grypus (Fabricius) and the Common Seal Phoca vitulina L. in Lofoten and Vesterålen, northern Norway
Authors: Wiig Øystein
Published: October 2024

Grey and Common Seals were surveyed in Lofoten and Vesterålen, northern Norway, by boat during the summers 1987 and 1988. 86 Grey Seals were counted in the outer part of Lofoten. This is an area where breeding is known to occur. A total of 565 Common Seals was recorded in Vesterålen in 1987, and 701 in Lofoten and Vesterålen in 1988. The breeding season was dated to the second half of June. The exact date seems to vary between nearby colonies.
Extermination of Gyrodactylus salaris – infected Atlantic salmon Salmo salar by rotenone treatment in the river Vikja, Western Norway
Authors: Johnsen Bjørn Ove , Jensen Arne Johan , Sivertsen Bjørn
Published: October 2024

Infections by Gyrodactylus salaris of Atlantic salmon in the river Vikja were discovered in 1981. To prevent further spreading of the parasite to neighbouring rivers in the Sognefiord area, the river was treated with rotenone in November 1981 and in May 1982 in order to exterminate the salmon population and consequently the parasite. Eggs of Atlantic salmon and Brown trout deposited in the gravel survived the rotenone treatment. Annual investigations of the river indicate a build-up of the Atlantic salmon population after 1982. In 1986 and 87 four yearclasses of young Atlantic salmon were present. No G. salaris have been found after 1981. Rotenone treatment seems to be a useful method for exterminating G. salaris from river populations of Atlantic salmon.
