Dung beetles (Genus: Onthophagus) are members of the family Scarabaeidae and the subfamily Scarabaeinae. Despite their small size and unattractive appearance, dung beetles play an important role in the ecosystem, and they are widely recognised as one of the most effective bioindicators of ecosystem health. Although there has been an increase in dung beetle studies in Peninsular Malaysia, there are very few ecological studies of dung beetles conducted in Sarawak, despite being the largest state of Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to provide recent information on the distributions of dung beetles from the genus Onthophagus in Sarawak. A total of 32 occurrences data for eight selected Onthophagus species representing 11 localities were successfully recorded. All analyses were performed using the Maximum Entropy Modelling Version 3.4.4 (MaxEnt) and Quantum Geographic Information Systems 3.28.2 (QGIS) software. It is revealed that most dung beetles’ distributions are strongly influenced by temperature and precipitation which suggests its capabilities as a bioindicator to identify high biodiversity areas. In conclusion, this study could be beneficial to identify the potential hotspot areas for biodiversity conservation and effective management practices in Sarawak.

Published: December 2023

The mangrove ecosystem is supported by the production and decomposition of leaf litter, as well as the release of nutrients into the environment and the neighbouring coastal seas. The release of phosphorus and nitrogen contributes significantly to the improvement of the nutritional values, which benefits marine species and the neighbourhood. In the current study, nutrient release, leaf decomposition rate, litter generation, and mangrove habitat at Surabaya East Coast, Java, Indonesia were all examined. Three transects and three plots in each transect were established. The percentage of initial dry mass remaining in the litter bags were determined by using two sample t-test in Statistica 6.0 software. The decomposition of Rhizophora apiculata leaves was studied by using litter bag technique. They were made of synthetic nylon with the dimension of 15×15×25 cm and mesh size of 1×1.25 mm2. Senescent leaves were used because they present major leaves on the forest floor. According to the findings, daily mangrove litter production (dry weight) varied between 2.15 and 3.28 g/m2. Branch litter (9.43 – 13.27%), reproductive parts (8.20 – 14, 31%), and leaf litter (76.26 – 78.53%) were the other major contributors. The 345.6 ha of mangrove forests along the east coast of Surabaya are the results of reforestation, which has the potential to produce nitrogen and phosphorus at the rates of 109.43 to 173.549 kg/ha/year and 5.467 to 8.12 kg/h/year, respectively. These results imply that decomposition breakdown rates differ across the research area due to the variation in the nutrients availability. Changes in the breakdown of detritus point to variations in nutrient intake, which is crucial for mangrove ecosystems.

The search and development of new therapeutic agents from medicinal plants to alleviate anxiety is well justified due to the increasing cases of anxiety disorder and lack of effective treatment. Moringa oleifera has been used traditionally to treat anxiety. However, there is still lack of understanding on the mechanism for its anxiolytic effect. The purpose of this study was to investigate the anxiolytic effects and the mechanism of ethanolic extracts of the leaves of M. oleifera (MOLE) by observing behavioural changes of the Danio rerio and the differential gene expression analysis using custom RT2 Profiler PCR array. A 14-day chronic behaviour study was conducted using three concentrations of MOLE (500 mg/L, 1000 mg/L and 2000 mg/L) fluoxetine as the positive control. Stress-induced D. rerio treated with 1000 mg/L MOLE showed the lowest level of anxiety compared to other groups as evidenced by a decrease in freezing episodes and freezing time, increased entries into the light region. The fish also showed significant changes in the expression of crhb, faah2a, mao, and pah genes. MOLE with the presence of quercetin and kaempferol are believed to exert its anxiolytic effects through differential expression of gene (i) modulating the function of GABAA receptor (crhb), (ii) inhibiting the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the production of nitric oxide, (iii) increasing the AEA levels in the brain (faah2a), (iv) increasing the level of dopamine levels in the brain (mao). These findings provide valuable insights into the potential use of MOLE as a treatment for anxiety-related disorders as well as the significance of the molecular pathways involved in its anxiolytic properties.

Published: December 2023

African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is a popular non-native fish for aquaculture in Malaysia. The issues of non-native fish species have not been much discussed despite general perception of the negative effects of the species on the native biodiversity. Therefore, this study was conducted to estimate the possible risk of C. gariepinus in Sarawak using a semi-quantitative system of Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit version 2 (FISK v2). There are 49 questions in FISK v2 assessment which was assessed by three independent assessors with fisheries knowledge in Sarawak. Threshold was set at 19.0. Descriptive Statistics using SPSS 25.0 was used to run FISK score from three assessors. Result shows that Clarias gariepinus was categorised as “very high risk”. Clarias gariepinus has a FISK score of 43.00 ± 1.00 with a certainty factor of 0.89 ± 0.08. Environmental and biological criteria, followed by the economic impacts for this species and the gaps in legislation and framework in Sarawak were discussed thoroughly. It can be concluded that this preliminary assessment might have indicate a sign of invasion of this non-native species to the local biodiversity. The tool could be more robust if more comprehensive data are included which eventually be useful to assist in decisions regarding future management of non-native species in Sarawak.

With the large-scale growth and grid connection of intermittent renewable energy such as wind and solar, the problem of increasing renewable energy curtailment rate and system backup flexibility has become increasingly prominent. In order to solve the problem of high proportion of renewable energy scientific consumption and flexible and stable operation of energy system. We propose a flexible and economical dispatch method based on data-driven multi-regional power system. For the problem of economic dispatch of multi-area power system, a mathematical calculation model is established to satisfy the constraints of unit output, system power balance, unit ramp rate, and valve point effect, and to consider the requirement of minimizing the cost of multi-area power load comprehensively. Based on data-driven, this paper adopts an improved fruit fly optimization algorithm to quickly find the global optimal solution. The calculations are performed by IEEE6 simulation test system, and the results verify the feasibility of the proposed algorithm. The improved fruit fly optimization algorithm is compared and analyzed with other algorithms considering the quality of the obtained solutions. The results show the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm in solving multi-area economic dispatching problems in real power systems.

Five architectural groups that are “Vanguard”, “Ar-deco”, “Modernism”, “Eco-tech”, and “the Newest Styles” containing erections of curvilinear form, shell structures, and thin shells of building purposes were determined. In the work, all known architectural styles and their sub-semblances as applied only to erections of curvilinear form including shell structures and thin-walled shells were firstly gathered and illustrated for concrete examples. The known definitions for architectural styles, directions, and style flows that reflect exactly the content of these concepts are presented. The proper chronology of origin of architectural styles and their sub-semblances are adduced. Marked rise of interest to designing and building of large-span shells and shell structures in the 21st century is mentioned. In the 21st century, architects used 16 architectural styles. The materials presented can help to the researchers in the carrying of new investigations devoted to classification of architectural styles, their systematization, more accurate definition and chronology of their appearance.

The article presents the results of the effect of the additive on water resistance, frost resistance and workability, which are one of the main indicators of the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. In the presented work the authors used a complex additive containing alkali (caustic soda), post-alcohol bard and hardening regulator (gypsum) in different % ratios. It is shown that the use of a complex additive in the composition of concrete significantly increases the water resistance and frost resistance compared with the control samples. The influence of the complex additive on the workability of concrete mixture has been studied. It has been established that the complex additive allows obtaining highly workable concrete mixtures and reducing their water separation, providing high preservation of concrete mixtures. The water impermeability of concrete is also significantly improved - the water impermeability grade increases by 4 steps in comparison with the concrete without additive. The proposed method speeds up the process of determining the concrete water impermeability grade and allows you to determine the water resistance grade and the degree of permeability of concrete on the basis of the obtained dependencies. When adding a complex additive in an amount of up to 7 % of the weight of cement increases the brand on frost resistance. It is found that the concrete with the studied complex additive has high physical and mechanical properties. The optimum dosages of the considered additive were found and used in the present work.

External reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures with composite materials is successfully used for strengthening of damaged elements. At the same time, torsion with bending of such reinforced concrete structures is poorly studied and requires experimental and theoretical investigation. The scientific literature presents the results of the study of strength and deformability in bending with torsion of reinforced concrete elements of different cross-sectional shapes under static and dynamic loads, elements of composite cross-section. For reinforced concrete structures strengthened with external reinforcement by composite materials, such studies were carried out only for bending elements. The authors have developed a program and methodology of experimental studies of such structures. The results of experimental investigations according to the proposed methodology will allow us to verify the assumed design model, the working assumptions put in its basis and reveal the regularities of deformation of reinforced concrete structures with external composite reinforcement under bending with torsion.

Published: December 2023

The numerical study focuses on analyzing the structural response of reinforced concrete (RC) beams at high temperatures. Gaining more insight into the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures at high temperatures and the material properties of steel reinforcement and concrete are the main goals of this research. To conduct this analysis, finite element analysis (FEA) using the ABAQUS software package is adopted. FEA allows for the simulation of the behavior of the RC beam under fire by inputting relevant parameters, such as material properties, dimensions, and temperature. The program calculates the temperature distribution within the structure and predicts the resulting structural responses. Two phases are applied: before and after exposure to fire.

Dillerin sahip olduğu özellikleri taşıyan eserlerin başında sözlükler gelmektedir. Sözlüğün çok eskilere dayanan uzun bir geçmişi vardır. Türkçede Kaşgarlı Mahmut’un 11. yüzyılda yazdığı Dîvânu Lugâti’t-Türk, bilinen ilk sözlüktür. Sözlükler, çok eski dönemlerden itibaren kullanılmaya başlanmış, günümüze kadar farklı zamanlarda, birbirinden farklı özelliklerde yazılmış bir veya birden çok dilli sözlükler gelmiştir. Bu yönüyle Türkçe, zengin bir sözlük mirasına sahiptir. Gerek dil bilimciler gerekse kullanıcılar için önemli bir araştırma ve inceleme kaynağı olan sözlüklerin önemi ve bu eserlere duyulan ilgi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu durum sözlüklerle ilgili geniş çaplı araştırmalar, incelemeler ve çalışmalar yapılmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Sözlükle ilgili her türlü yayın, araştırma, yöntem belirleme, sözlük yazma gibi faaliyetleri karşılamak için sözlükbilimi, sözlükbilim, sözlükçülük ve lügatçilik gibi terimler kullanılmaktadır. Sözlükbilim, sözlüklerin yapısını, kullanım alanlarını incelerken sözlük kullanıcılarına sözlük hakkında bilgi vermek amacıyla en üst düzeyde inceleme, anlama ve tarama imkânı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Howard Jackson’un “Lexicography: An Introduction (Sözlükbilime Giriş)” adlı kitabında yer alan sözlük ve sözlükbilim ile ilgili hazırlamış olduğu teknikten yararlanılarak teorik sözlükbilim çerçevesinde, Priscilla Mary Işın’ın hazırlamış olduğu “Osmanlı Mutfak Sözlüğü” ile ilgili sözlükbilimsel bir inceleme denemesi yapmak amaçlanmıştır.
