Authors: Darmawan Marten , Soewono Arka Dwinanda , Christiand  , Andreas Luky
Published: October 2023

Indonesia termasuk salah satu negara yang terdampak oleh pandemi COVID-19 di mana pemerintah menerapkan kebijakan Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat (PPKM) sebagai upaya pencegahan penyebaran virus COVID-19. Hal ini menyebabkan banyak sektor kehidupan, termasuk sektor pendidikan, perlu menerapkan adaptasi cara hidup baru dengan menerapkan kegiatan belajar-mengajar secara daring selama PPKM berlangsung. Meskipun kegiatan belajar-mengajar dilakukan secara daring, kegiatan administrasi dan surat-menyurat di lembaga pendidikan berpotensi menjadi sumber penyebaran COVID-19 mengingat virus tersebut dapat bertahan pada permukaan benda untuk jangka waktu yang cukup lama. Sebagai salah satu cara pencegahan penyebaran virus COVID-19, tim pengabdi dari Universitas Katolik Atma Jaya telah merancang dan membangun purwarupa alat yang dapat mensterilkan permukaan kertas dan dokumen dari virus COVID-19. Mitra untuk pelaksanaan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah SMA Providentia. Alat sterilisasi dokumen ini menggunakan sinar UV-C yang dihasilkan oleh dua (2) buah lampu halogen berdaya 15-watt yang dipasang pada bagian bawah tutup alat sehingga dapat mensterilkan kertas yang masuk. Alat tersebut memiliki dimensi 425 mm x 304 mm x 149 mm, serta dapat memproses 5 lembar kertas per menit dan tumpukan kertas dengan maksimum ketebalan sebanyak 10 lembar. Tahap serah terima dan sosialisasi cara pengoperasian dan perawatan alat sterilisasi dokumen kemudian dilaksanakan dengan perwakilan terbatas dari mitra di ruang tata usaha SMA Providentia dikarenakan kondisi PPKM. Hasil kuisioner yang diisi oleh peserta sosialisasi yang terdiri dari lima orang karyawan kependidikan SMA Providentia menunjukan tingkat kepuasan yang tinggi sehingga dapat dinyatakan bahwa kegiatan berhasil mencapai tujuan utamanya yaitu mendukung pencegahan penyebaran virus COVID-19 di lingkungan SMA Providentia.

Authors: Erma Wulan Sari  , Juliyanti Wiwin , Audreyan Nurdanisa
Published: October 2023

Usaha Mikro Kecil Menengah (UMKM) memiliki peran penting dalam menghadapi ancaman resesi global karena UMKM telah berkontribusi besar terhadap Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) Indonesia. Kesadaran akan pentingnya UMKM ini harus disertai dengan kebijakan dan regulasi dari pemerintah dalam mengelola dan meningkatkan peran UMKM agar dapat tumbuh dan berkembang. Salah satu faktor yang menjadi penyebab kurang berkembangnya UMKM di desa adalah terbatasnya modal yang dimiliki dikarenakan sulitnya pemenuhan administrasi dalam pengajuan modal. Salah satu persyaratan yang sulit mereka penuhi dalam pengajuan modal adalah kepemilikan Nomor Pokok Wajib Pajak (NPWP). Program pengabdian kepada masyarakat diselenggarakan dengan tujuan memberikan pelatihan pembuatan NPWP online kepada para pelaku UMKM di Desa Giripurno. Metode yang digunakan dalam pelatihan ini yaitu sosialisasi dan pendampingan praktik pelatihan. Sosialisasi dilakukan dengan pemaparan materi kepada peserta pelatihan dan praktik langsung pembuatan NPWP secara online.

Critical Pedagogy: A Journey from Its Origins to Critical Pedagogy in Colombian Education
Authors: López Olivera Silvio Fabian , Martínez Lina María
Published: October 2023

A great revolution in the way teachers and educators see language teaching and learning, and its scope has started to gain weight in the last decades, all brought about by the extraordinary emerging research and theories to change this traditional view. Language teaching and learning have moved from the classroom settings, where the focus was just on what happens in the classroom, to more pressing matters, and now they aim to develop more than language skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and the like). Instead, they intent to develop critical thinking, critical and political consciousness, and social justice awareness through what some educators have called Critical Pedagogy (CP hereafter), which leads to the transformation of the individual, the learning environment, and society (Freire, 1970). What follows is by no means definite about Critical Pedagogy but an attempt to introduce and conceptualize the origin, definition, principles, view of teachers and learners, and the current situation of CP in Colombia and end it with our understanding of what has been presented throughout this paper, along with some general conclusions.

The Feminisation of Migration and the Practice of Religion
Authors: Adam Abdussalam Alhaji
Published: October 2023

The phenomenon of feminisation of migration, characterized by the increasing participation of women in international migration flows, has gained attention recently. This paper explored the interplay between feminisation of migration and religion, shedding light on the experiences of migrant women. It investigated how religion serves as a cultural anchor, resilience-building mechanism, and identity negotiator for female migrants. The paper thus outlined the global trend of rising female migration, discusses gender dynamics in migration, and highlights the challenges faced by migrant women in balancing faith practices and integration. It further examined the intersectionality of gender and religious identity, emphasizing the need for a nuanced analysis. The article explored how religious beliefs and practices contribute to the resilience and adaptation of migrant women, and how religion shapes their sense of self. It also explored the role of religious communities in providing support and facilitating community building among migrant women. The study showed that female migration empowers women, increases their control over mobility and rights, and their remittances can contribute significantly to economies. It revealed the multidimensional nature of feminisation of migration and the need for policy recommendations to improve the living and working conditions of migrant women. The paper increases understanding of the challenges faced by women during migration and highlights the importance of protecting and promoting women’s rights. It also notes the impact of women’s absence from home on gender roles and social dynamics.

Keywords: Feminisation, Migration, Practice of Religion, Religious Identities, Gendered Migration Pattern.

ASSESSMENT OF LAND DEGRADATION USING REMOTE SENSING APPROACH
Authors: Adesina Ekundayo Abayomi , Muhammad Huzaifa Ishaq
Published: October 2023

Land degradation leads to the alteration of ecological and economic functions due to a decrease in the productivity and quality of the land. Land degradation over Minna, Niger State, was assessed using geospatial techniques. Studies between the rainfall and NDVI used on human-induced and climate-induced land degradation were correlated. Landsat imageries on a decadal scale (2000–2019) were processed and classified using a maximum likelihood classifier. NDVI trends are not by rainfall dynamics to human actions. Averagely low, about 24.14%, correlation was found between the observed land degradation and the precipitation factor, yielding more than 50% congruence in degradation induced by human activities. The study discovered that the built-up and bare surfaces are increasing. The long-term changes in built-ups were 96% between 2000 and 2019; conversely, a sharp decrease in vegetative lands at about –19.38%. Based on the terrain analysis, locations have less steep and moderate slopes in the study area due to continuous urban expansion and demographic pressure. Consequentially, over time, available lands not degraded within the study areas would be reduced. The study recommended a proper land management system of land use allocation and land cover activities.

Ancient reproductive modes and criteria of multicellularity
Authors: Gavrilov-Zimin Ilya A.
Published: October 2023

It is demonstrated that the initial method of fertilization in animals (Metazoa), embryophyte plants (Embryophyta), most groups of multicellular oogamous algae, oogamous and pseudoogamous multicellular fungi was internal fertilization (in the broad meaning) in/on the body of a maternal organism. Accordingly, during the bisexual process, the initial method of formation of a daughter multicellular organism in animals was viviparity, and in embryophyte plants and most groups of oogamous multicellular algae – the germination of a zygote in/on the body of maternal organism.

The reproductive criteria of multicellularity are proposed and discussed. In this regard, the multicellularity is considered to subdivide terminologically into three variants: 1) protonemal, the most simple, characteristic of multicellular prokaryotes, most groups of multicellular algae and gametophytes of some higher plants; 2) siphonoseptal, found among multicellular fungi, some groups of green and yellow-green algae; 3) embryogenic, most complicated, known in all animals (Metazoa), all sporophytes and some gametophytes of higher plants (Embryophyta), charophyte green algae Charophyceae s.s., oogamous species of green and brown algae, some genera of red algae.

In addition to the well-known division of reproduction methods into sexual and asexual, it is proposed to divide the reproduction of multicellular organisms into monocytic (the emergence of a new organism from one cell sexually or asexually) and polycytic (fragmentation, longitudinal / transverse division or budding based on many cells of the body of the mother organism), since these two ways have different evolutionary and ontogenetic origins.
Economic advantages of starting up of inherently safe fast reactors with a closed fuel cycle on fortificated uranium
Authors: Orlov Mikhail A.
Published: October 2023

The publication substantiates the economic advantages of using in the starting loads of inherently safe fast reactors with a closed fuel cycle of enriched uranium instead of uranium-plutonium regenerate obtained by reprocessing of thermal reactors spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The justifications are given taking into account both the preliminary technical and economic assessments carried out by the basic enterprises of TVEL JSC and SHK JSC, and the neutron-physical and system-economic studies performed at the Private Institution of the ITCP Proryv (Breakthrough). It is shown that the starting-up of a fast reactor on enriched uranium instead of uranium-plutonium fuel, taking into account the costs of preliminary reprocessing of thermal reactors spent fuel, allows achieving a significant economic gain at the stage of construction and commissioning of nuclear power plants. It is also shown that even at moderately high values of the discount coefficient, the uranium start of a fast reactor with a closed fuel cycle is economically preferable in comparison with the option of starting on uranium-plutonium fuel from the positions of the break-even tariff.
The effect of the importance function resolution on the accuracy of calculating the functionals of the neutron kinetics in water critical assemblies by Monte Carlo method
Authors: Arkhangelsky Daniil M. , Daichenkova Yuliya S. , Kalugin Mikhail A. , Oleynik Dmitry S. , Shkarovsky Denis A.
Published: October 2023

The paper considers a computational study of the importance function effect on the accuracy of calculating the effective fraction of delayed neutrons, βeff, and generation time of instantaneous neutrons using the MCU Monte Carlo code based on the example of three criticality experiments from the ICSBEP handbook. In the MCU code, the importance function has a piecewise constant form: the computational model is broken down into a finite number of registration objects, and the neutron importance is calculated in each. The obtained importance values are used then to calculate the kinetic functionals due to which the calculation accuracy for the latter depends on the resolution. Three types of the importance function spatial partition (axial, radial, combined) have been studied. The numerical simulation results have shown that the axial component of the neutron importance function in all experiments has practically no effect on the calculation accuracy for βeff and Λ: the difference between the obtained values is less than 1%. The radial component has a notable effect (of up to 15.9%) on the Λ calculation accuracy while having almost no effect on the βeff estimate. Using combined partition, as compared with radial partition, improves the calculation accuracy insignificantly (< 1%).
Investigation of the influence of the fuel element design parameter on the VVER-1000 reactor axial power peaking factor
Authors: Gorbunov Vladimir A. , Teplyakova Svetlana S. , Lonshakov Nikita A. , Andrianov Sergey G. , Mineev Pavel A.
Published: October 2023

The paper presents the results of a numerical study into the efficiency of the fuel element operation in the pressurized water reactor (VVER) core filled with uranium dioxide (UO2) pellets. The investigation results were obtained from a three-dimensional simulation of the fuel element power density. The dependencies of the fuel and fuel cladding temperatures on specific power per cubic meter of fuel are compared. Uranium metal and uranium dioxide have been studied as fuel. Engineering constraints on the safe operation of fuel assemblies have been selected as the determining parameters. The paper analyzes the extent of the radiation heat transfer effects on the fuel element specific power. Equations have been obtained that reflect the dependencies of specific power per cubic meter of fuel on the size of the fuel pellet hole diameter in the maximum heat flux conditions. The COMSOL Multiphysics code, a numerical thermophysical simulation package, was used for the study. Calculations show that an additional uranium-235 enrichment with an increase in the fuel pellet hole diameter at a fixed fuel thermal power leads to a reduced reactor axial temperature field peaking factor.
Thermal resistance of steels with increased strength properties for pressure vessels of advanced VVER reactors of various designs

Published: October 2023

The paper considers the results of structural studies and mechanical tests after a long-term thermal exposure of laboratory heats of the metallurgically improved 15Kh2NMFA steel and steel with an increased content of nickel considered as materials for the pressure vessels of advanced VVER-type reactors of various designs. It has been shown that, both for the improved 15Kh2NMFA steel and the high-nickel steel, there are no signs of grain boundary embrittlement after an segregation provoking embrittlement heat treatment. This is explained by the extremely low grain boundary segregation of phosphorus in the initial state caused by a high degree of the structure dispersity as well as by rather a low content of impurities. Besides, no changes have been found in the yield strength value for the improved 15Kh2NMFA steel, which agrees with the structure investigation results. For the high-nickel steel, a tendency towards a minor yield strength decrease by 5 to 10% and a regular reduction of the critical brittleness temperature has been revealed. A decrease in the mechanical properties has been caused by a relatively low temperature of tempering for the high-nickel steel and, accordingly, by the potential occurrence of the structure recovery during long-term thermal exposure, as evidenced by the results of an X-ray diffraction analysis. Despite the structure recovery in the high-nickel steel under the long-term thermal exposure, the main strengthening carbide phases remain stable. Due to this, the yield strength value remains at a relatively high level that exceeds the values for the modern VVER-type vessel steels, even in the case of a thermal exposure much in excess of the expected operating conditions for advanced VVER reactors. The observed decrease of critical brittleness temperature during the long-term thermal exposure contributes to an increase in the steel resistance to brittle fracture.
Household time allocation in Russia: economic or sociocultural model?
Authors: Bugdaeva Elina A.
Published: October 2023

The article is focused on determining the dominant model of household time allocation in Russia based on the analysis of demographic, economic, social, and sociocultural factors. The main method of the study is a statistical analysis of the data from a household survey conducted by the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation in 2019 titled “Selective observation of the daily time use by the population”. The results of the study indicate an unfinished transition toward gender equality. The economic model of time allocation (the more one participates in the labor market, the less housework one does) is dominant during the work week, while the sociocultural model (gender determines the degree of workload in the household regardless of the level of employment in the labor market) takes precedence on the weekends. This is expressed in the increase in women’s unpaid work on weekends as compensation for missing out on household chores during the working weekdays. In addition, depending on the size of the gender gaps we identified “patriarchal” and “progressive” regions of Russia. Sociocultural characteristics turned out to be significant not only in the “patriarchal” regions but also in most of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Sociocultural attitudes weaken the economic model in the allocation of time between partners, especially on weekends. Thus, the economic model dominates on weekdays while the sociocultural one dominates on weekends.

Peter Kropotkin and Social Ecology: Between Biology and Revolution
Authors: Pantel Jelena H. , Varengo Selva , Venturini Federico
Published: October 2023

Research or concepts in the biological field have often been used as a basis to root political projects of different orientations. In the libertarian literature, there have also been attempts to explore the link between the natural world and the possibility of freedom by combining discoveries
in biological fields and research in philosophical/political fields. In the first part of our work, we analyse Peter Kropotkin's thought, especially his theory of mutual aid, focusing on his protoecological concepts. This section also focuses on the Social Ecology of Murray Bookchin in the
context of the evolution of life in the natural world. The concepts of cooperation, empathy and mutual aid are explored, and also revolution, federalism and egalitarian ethics. In the second part, we review these ideas and concepts, drawing on insights from recent discoveries in the study
of ecology and evolutionary biology. We conclude our review by discussing how these natural principles can inform social projects and social organisation, identifying how mismatches between social and biological organisation have contributed to inequality and domination.
La liaison sans enchaînement : ce que nous apprennent les livres audio
Authors: Pustka Elissa
Published: October 2023

Dans la parole quotidienne de locuteurs ordinaires, la liaison va toujours de pair avec un enchaînement, c’est-à-dire une resyllabification de la consonne de liaison avec la voyelle initiale du mot suivant (p. ex. petit ami [pəti.ta.mi]). Or, il existe également des cas de liaison sans enchaînement, surtout dans la parole publique et médiatique. L’article analyse les 105 cas contenus dans un corpus de parole lue de 77 heures (13 livres audio d’œuvres littéraires). Il montre que la liaison sans enchaînement pourrait être une stratégie de « scripturalité mise en scène » à l’oral, complémentaire du phénomène bien connu de l’« oralité mise en scène » à l’écrit.
Statistical inference of the stress-strength reliability for inverse Weibull distribution under an adaptive progressive type-Ⅱ censored sample
Authors: Hu Xue , Ren Haiping
Published: October 2023

In this paper, we investigate classical and Bayesian estimation of stress-strength reliability $\delta = P(X > Y)$ under an adaptive progressive type-Ⅱ censored sample. Assume that $X$ and $Y$ are independent random variables that follow inverse Weibull distribution with the same shape but different scale parameters. In classical estimation, the maximum likelihood estimator and asymptotic confidence interval are deduced. An approximate maximum likelihood estimator approach is used to obtain the explicit form. In Bayesian estimation, the Bayesian estimators are derived based on symmetric entropy loss function and LINEX loss function. Due to the complexity of integrals, we proposed Lindley's approximation to get the approximate Bayesian estimates. To compare the different estimators, we performed Monte Carlo simulations. Under gamma prior, the approximate maximum likelihood estimator performs better than Bayesian estimators. Under non-informative prior, the approximate maximum likelihood estimator has the same behavior as Bayesian estimators. In the end, two data sets are used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
Will farmers cooperate to conserve biodiversity? The use of collective bonus in the High Nature Value farmland in Slovenia
Authors: Šumrada Tanja , Erjavec Emil
Published: October 2023

Nature conservation in farmland is often based on the wide adoption of suitable farming practices, which are effectively coordinated at the landscape level. However, more advanced policy approaches to spatial coordination often require cooperation between farmers. We use quantitative analysis of 521 surveyed farmers and qualitative thematic analysis of 123 interviews in Natura 2000 sites Haloze and Kras in Slovenia to explore farmers' preferences towards a collective bonus, which could stimulate higher adoption of grassland conservation schemes. Abandonment of farming, low interest in agri-environmental schemes and changes in social relations (individualisation of farming and distrust among actors) were identified as critical barriers to farmer cooperation in the context of agri-environmental policy.
Towards the efficient response of forest owners to large-scale forest damage: An example of forest commons
Authors: Bogataj Nevenka , Krč Janez
Published: October 2023

This article aims to analyse the response of private forest owners to a series of extreme environmental disturbances in the Slovenian karst region in the period 2014–2016. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of empirical forest management data on response time and harvesting time, as well as interpretations of response drivers, led to the identification of forest commons as a fast and efficient type of forest ownership, despite almost a century of state suppression of their local institutions. Among the internal and external response drivers, a norm of responsibility and forest management competence were highlighted. Our study highlights the potential of forest commons for active forest management in Europe. A concerted response from private and state institutions should not only take into account economies of scale, but also traditional knowledge and local social norms
Predicting the potential ecological niche distribution of Slovenian forests under climate change using MaxEnt modelling
Authors: Gregorčič Tim , Rozman Andrej , Repe Blaž
Published: October 2023

The aim of the article is to assess the potential impacts of climate change on Slovenian forests in the period 2080–2100 based on two climate scenarios: SSP1-2.6 (optimistic) and SSP5-8.5 (pessimistic) using the MaxEnt software. Slovenian forests are divided at the ecological community level into thirteen forest vegetation types. Analyses of changes in ecological niche areas, distances of vectors between centroids of present areas and future ecological niches, and general spatial changes are carried out. In addition, changes in the altitudinal zones of forest vegetation types were investigated. The results indicate significant changes for Thermophilous beech forests and Thermophilous hop-hornbeam, sessile oak, downy oak, Scots pine and black pine forests. The potential changes in the altitudinal zones of forest vegetation types indicate a clear trend of forest vegetation types moving to higher altitudinal zones.
Motivation, robustness and benefits of water commons: Insights from small drinking water supply systems
Authors: Pipan Primož , Šmid Hribar Mateja , Urbanc Mimi
Published: October 2023

The article addresses the governance of water commons with an emphasis on drinking water. The study applied two conceptual frameworks: Ostrom's Design Principles and the Social-Ecological Systems framework. The empirical part refers to two water commons in Slovenia and is based on qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with locals and professionals. The article follows three objectives: 1) to identify the drivers and motivations for successful local water governance; 2) to assess the robustness of water commons in terms of current and future challenges; 3) to identify the benefits of water commons. The key elements for the functioning of the two local communities under examination are shared interests, as well as a strong commitment to effective management. In addition to the material benefits (i.e. drinking water supply), non-material ones are also important. Community building and identity are particularly noteworthy. The importance of small drinking water supply systems that are well organised and responsibly governed as commons is beneficial not only to a municipality but also to a country.
Le siège cérébral des facultés mentales au XVIIe siècle
Authors: Andrault Raphaële
Published: October 2023

En 1810, Gall et Spurzheim posent le diagnostic suivant : la piètre connaissance du substrat cérébral des facultés mentales doit être imputée à la longue inféodation de l’anatomie par la métaphysique. Dans le présent article, nous interrogeons un tel jugement historique à partir du Discours sur l’anatomie du cerveau de Niels Steensen. La présentation des « systèmes » de localisation cérébrale que Steensen critique (celui des « Anciens », celui de Thomas Willis et celui de Descartes) nous permettra d’abord de brosser un tableau des différentes conceptions possibles du « siège de l’âme » au XVIIe siècle. Nous montrerons ensuite comment, dans ces trois cas de figure, la mise en correspondance d’une anatomie neurocérébrale lacunaire et d’une topique des grandes facultés mentales conduit à postuler que telle ou telle partie cérébrale est le siège de la mémoire, celui de l’imagination ou encore celui du sens commun. Enfin, nous montrerons que c’est au nom de la science anatomique, restreinte à ce qui peut être attesté par des témoins oculaires, que Steensen a écarté le principe même des localisations cérébrales.
Development of a bulk cargo fruit sampler

Published: October 2023

The design of an agricultural machine or equipment can be considered of great complexity, due to the interactions between the operator, the machine, the product and the environment. There is a lack of available technologies for collecting fruit in bulk cargo at any time from transport to industries. A limiting factor is the loading of fruits that are at the base of the cargo. This study was carried out to develop a detailed design of a bulk cargo fruit sampler that can collect fruits in any position of the x, y and z axes. A methodology was applied and adapted to execute the design. This methodology was divided into the following stages: design planning, informational design, conceptual design, preliminary design and detailed design. The variant considered the most appropriate was selected for the preliminary design and detailed design. The concepts were divided into chassis or support, sample collector and support for sample removal. The removal of fruits was carried out to maintain as much of their interaction with the environment outside the collector as possible. With the conclusion of the detailed design, it was possible to file, at the National Institute of Industrial Property, the patent for the collector of fruit samples in bulk cargo. Results obtained from fruits in the collector were used in doctoral theses.
Synthesis and characterization of a new ruthenium (II) terpyridyl diphosphine complex
Authors: Batalini Claudemir , De Giovani Wagner Ferraresi
Published: October 2023

Ruthenium complexes have been prepared for several applications, mostly for electrocatalysis, catalytic hydrogenation, energy conversion, photolysis, medicinal chemistry, among other fields. Bipyridine and terpyridine ligands are commonly found in the metal coordination sphere, including ruthenium, largely due to the high stability exhibited by the resulting complex and the possibility of greater stereochemical control during synthesis. The combination of substituted terpyridine ligands with diphosphine ligands to the metal ruthenium occurs to a lesser extent and its catalytic potential has been examined in several studies. This paper describes the synthesis of a new ruthenium (II) aqua complex containing aryl diphosphine and substituted terpyridine ligands: [Ru(L)(totpy)(OH2)](ClO4)2 (L=Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2); (totpy=4´-(4-tolyl)-2,2´:6´,2´´-terpyridine). The synthesis route was conducted in three steps; the final and the intermediate products have shown good reaction yields; the results of the characterization of the aqua complex by cyclic voltammetry, UV-visible spectroscopy and elemental analysis are consistent with the proposed chemical structure.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that can be employed to monitor several sectors, mostly precision agriculture, where environmental data can be used to better manage resources, reduce costs, and improve the use of natural resources. This work proposes the application of cloud-based IoT for monitoring irrigation water in rice fields. Southern Brazil was chosen as a case study because it suffers from water pollution problems due to urban activities, coal mining, and the inflow of saline water into the Araranguá River estuary. All these factors can compromise the water quality for irrigation. The presence of salt in irrigation water can compromise rice growth, making its monitoring essential for successful cultivation. Currently, the rice farmer needs to travel to the riverbank to assess the water quality using a manual sensor. This procedure demands time and resources and is not always efficient. The technology helps indicate whether the water is of quality to irrigate crops, helping the farmers decide whether to use that water to irrigate their fields. The solution is based on low-cost wireless sensor network devices, with subsequent transmission of data from the gateway using the network mobile phone cloud. Data collected were also accessed by the smartphone through a mobile application. This system was implemented for testing in the Araranguá River estuary, southern Santa Catarina, Brazil. Also, it appears as an option for farmers who need to monitor the quality of the water channel of the crop, thus avoiding the loss and reduction in crop productivity because the system can be continuously monitored and show notifications to the user. The highlights of this work were prototyping a complete solution to help the farmer using a smartphone application.

Knowledge of the normal course and distribution of the nerves of the brachial plexus in the axilla and arm, and of its possible variations, is essential for the proper management of upper limb nerve injuries, which is a relatively common occurrence in the clinical setup. Bilateral absence of the musculocutaneous nerve was observed during routine dissection of a female cadaver. The muscles of the flexor compartment of the arm were supplied by the median nerve bilaterally.The present case report should elucidate this variation and should aid in applying this knowledge in the clinical setup.

Objective: Gonadal veins carry venous blood from gonads. The right gonadal vein (RGV) drains into inferior vena cava (IVC) directly while left gonadal vein drains into the left renal vein (LRV). However, numerous anatomical variations of gonadal veins which accounts for pathological conditions such as varicocele and pelvic congestion syndrome have been reported. In this study we report such variations observed during a routine cadaver dissection for the first-year dental undergraduates.Methods and material: Dissection was carried out in ten cadavers by the investigators following observation of the variations.Results: Three cadavers out of ten were observed to have variations of the gonadal veins in relation to the number and site of drainage. There were right gonadal veins draining to right renal vein as well as double gonadal veins were observed.Conclusion: A clear understanding of these variations is important for clinicians and radiologists in recognizing and avoiding complications in interventional procedures in the retroperitoneal region. Therefore, we recommend carrying out further studies using a larger sample of Sri Lankan population.
An interlobar ligament connecting the right and left lobes of the liver – A cadaveric case report

Several ligaments and peritoneal folds attach the liver to other organs and to the abdominal wall. These are the falciform ligament, ligamentum teres hepatis or round ligament, right triangular ligament, left triangular ligament, lessor omentum, and ligamentum venosum. We report a unique ligament connecting the right and left lobes of the liver, on its visceral surface near its inferior border. This ligament is seen forming a tunnel through which the ligamentum teres is seen to travel.The knowledge can be used by the radiologists and clinicians in image interpretation and subsequent clinical diagnosis and by anatomists and embryologists for academic interests. Further, this ligament and the tunnel formed by it maybe a potential site for strangulation of abdominal content.

Respiratory failure occurs in 0.1-0.2% of pregnancy patients. This can be due to pre-eclampsia, venous thromboembolism, asthma, gastric aspiration, and viral pneumonitis. Rarely exacerbation of underlying diseases (like asthma, Interstitial Lung Disease, ILD, etc.) can cause respiratory failure. The underlying disease can be recognized previously or presented as exacerbation in pregnancy for the first time. Respiratory failure leads to harm to both mother and fetus; hence, the cause should be evaluated as soon as possible. Here, we are describing the case of acute exacerbation of Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis (HP) in a pre-eclampsia patient.
A small lump in the abdomen

Published: October 2023

A 20-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a small painful swelling located in the midline of the epigastric region. His medical history included asthma and extramucosal pyloromyotomy for hypertrophic pyloric stenosis when he was a baby. His vital signs were normal. Abdominal ultrasound (US) showed a small hypoechoic formation located in the subcutaneous adipose tissue that penetrated into the abdominal cavity through an orifice of about 7 mm in the linea alba.

Historically, humans have developed knowledge of how to exploit and use wildlife species for food, clothing, traditional healing, and other purposes. This study aimed to determine the scale and scope of the ethnozoological uses of wild animals in the Iraqw community, in northern Tanzania. The study used semi-structured face-to-face questionnaire interviews with 45 key respondents in Endagaw, Mewadan, and Ng’wandakw villages in Mbulu District, to acquire the required data. The results found that 28 wild animal species including mammals (13 species), birds (12), insects (1), fish (1), and reptiles (1) were used by Iraqw for different purposes. Most species (n=23) were used mainly for food, namely helmeted guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), African savanna hare (Lemus microtis) and Hildebrandt’s francolin (Francolinus hildebrandti), while other wild animals were used for medicine, traditional beliefs, and rituals. This study provides information on the historical human-nature relationships and a baseline for developing future conservation efforts in the region to protect wild fauna. We recommend similar studies on other traditions and/or modern usages of wildlife to improve protection worldwide and that actions be taken to heighten community awareness of ethnozoological uses of faunal resources to ensure retention of this knowledge for future generations.
