Ultisol dry land is characterized by significantly low organic carbon content, an important factor influencing soil water content and physico-chemical dynamics. The addition of N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed liquid extract as an enrichment solution can change the character of biochar. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of cogongrass biochar enriched with dissolved N fertilizer in seaweed extract of different species and assess its impact on soil water content in Ultisol. Urea was used as a nitrogen source, and biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed liquid extract from Kappapychus alvarezii, Sargassum sp., and Ulva lactuca was tested. Biochar dose used was 20% of soil weight with a 10% extract concentration for each type. Furthermore, five-level treatments were tested in a pot experiment, namely (i) without biochar, (ii) biochar unenriched, (iii) enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in K. alvarezii extract, (iv) enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in Sargassum sp. extract, and (v) biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in U. lactuca extract. Each treatment was repeated three times, following a randomized block design. The results showed that cogongrass biochar enriched with N fertilizer dissolved in seaweed extract had a more amorphous surface morphology structure. The proportion of elements and functional groups in cogongrass biochar changed. Enriched biochar increased Ultisol moisture levels, but water holding capacity and retention were lower than the unenriched sample.
Enhancing the estimation accuracy of above-ground carbon storage in Eucalyptus urophylla plantation on Timor Island, Indonesia, through higher spatial-resolution satellite imagery
Authors: Sadono Ronggo , Soraya Emma
Published: April 2024

Eucalyptus urophylla plantation is an important contributor to carbon storage in climate change mitigation, established due to a land rehabilitation program in the semi-arid ecosystem in Timor Island. To ensure an accurate estimate of the above-ground carbon storage of these plantations, it is important to continuously combine ground measurement with remote sensing technology. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the above-ground carbon storage estimation of two very high spatial resolution images, namely Pleiades-1B 2021 and Pléiades Neo 2022 with pixel sizes of 2 x 2 m and 1.2 x 1.2 m, respectively. The normalized difference vegetation index was employed to identify the eucalyptus trees and classify the density into low, moderate, and high. The results showed that Pléiades Neo imagery provided superior eucalyptus tree identification to Pleiades-1B imagery and was more accurate in estimating above-ground carbon storage. However, there is a trade-off between increasing this accuracy and incurring a higher cost to achieve the highest spatial resolution image.

Published: April 2024

Anthropogenic activities carried out by communities around forests in production forests, protected forests, and conservation forests have an impact on changes in the land cover of these areas. This impact is difficult to avoid because, on the other hand, production forests and protected forests are in direct contact with the lives of local communities. Changes in land cover have a significant impact on the contribution of Folu Net Sink, which is set by the government at 31.89% in 2030 with its efforts. This research aims to provide an overview of land cover changes that occurred in natural forests of the Eucalyptus urophylla type from 2002 to 2022. The method used in this research is a supervised/guided digital classification technique. Ground checks were also carried out in this research to match the accuracy of the image data with the actual conditions in the field. The research results show that changes in land cover in 2012 and 2017 were very extreme. Forest fires were the cause of changes in land cover during this period. Meanwhile, in 2002, 2007, and 2022, the land cover was still good, in a positive direction. The causes of changes in land cover are encroachment activities, encroachment, illegal logging, firewood theft, rice fields, forest fires, plantations, and farming. Forest preservation provides very high benefits for life on earth. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the welfare of local communities so that they do not damage the forest, as well as increase the capacity to educate the community regarding zoning or blocks in conservation and protected forests. Apart from that, good forest management is needed to ensure forest sustainability in the future.

Authors: Matheus Rupa , Kantur Donatus , Levis Leta Rafael
Published: April 2024

Optimized use of calcareous soil in dryland areas needs to begin with rehabilitation efforts using soil amendments, including organic fertilizer and biochar. This study sought to determine whether kinds of soil amendments and mycorrhizal biofertilizers may enhance the chemical quality of calcareous soils and increase the yield of sorghum on dry land. The study was conducted at the experimental garden of the Agricultural Extension Center located in Oelnasi Village from April to August of 2023. Two criteria included in the study were the kind of soil amendment and mycorrhizal biological fertilizer, both of which were arranged in a randomized block design. The parameters observed were soil chemical properties, plant N and P nutrient uptake, and sorghum yield. The research results showed that the application of three types of soil amendments (P1 = cow dung, P2 = rice straw compost, and P3 = corncob biochar) improved the chemical quality of calcareous soil. This application of corncob biochar could significantly reduce soil pH from 7.85 (slightly alkaline) to 7.19 (neutral) and increase soil organic C to 2.55% C, followed by treatment with cow dung and rice straw compost. Other soil chemical properties, i.e., N, P, K, and soil CEC, also improved, which differed from the control treatment. The mycorrhizal biofertilizer provided could also improve the chemical properties of calcareous soil. Providing mycorrhizal biofertilizer could increase the N and P nutrient uptake of sorghum plants by 3.79% dry weight-1 and 2.18% dry weight-1, respectively, as well as increased sorghum yields, respectively by 4.04 t ha-1, 3.97 t ha-1 and 3.87 t ha-1 dry beans, higher than the control which only achieved 2.32 t ha-1 dry beans.

Authors: Marwa Alexander , Sweya Lukuba Ngalya
Published: April 2024

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is a major environmental problem due to low pH, high sulphate content, and dissolved metals. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of limestone materials for the primary treatment of AMD water. Different doses of limestone were used in this study in the ratio of 0 g/1,000 mL as control, 20 g/1,000 mL, 40 g/1,000 mL, 60 g/1,000 mL, 80 g/1,000 mL, 100 g/1,000 mL, 200 g/100 mL (limestone/AMD) in a batch experiment of 1,500 mL plastic container. The results showed that the pH of AMD water improved to 8.6 at a dose of 100 g/1,000 mL, and the sulphate concentration decreased from 2,277 mg/L to 506 mg/L at a dose of 200 g/1,000 mL. The removal of Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and Ni at 200 g/1,000 mL was 99%, 92%, 68%, 96%, and 99%, respectively. The results of this study also showed that the Mn content decreased slowly as the limestone dosage increased. In addition, this study showed that limestone is a good neutralizing agent for increasing the pH of AMD water and reducing sulphate and dissolved metal concentrations. The results of this study indicated that limestone is suitable as a primary treatment agent for AMD water treatment in gold mines in Tanzania.

Published: April 2024

Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This study aimed to review the impact of land use change and mangrove degradation on coastal areas and analyze the problems and strategies of mangrove management in Indonesia. Journal data sources were obtained from the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method was used in the study. The results indicate that economic activities such as mining, industry, and ponds are the main cause of mangrove damage, which in turn leads to increased disasters, CO2 emissions, and decreased community income. To address this issue, mangrove management strategies that take into account social, economic, and environmental factors are necessary. Successful mangrove restoration requires increased inclusion, community capacity, budgeting, and stakeholder involvement. Government policies regulating sustainable spatial planning, law enforcement, and institutional frameworks are crucial components of mangrove management. The study's results are expected to serve as the foundation for developing sustainable coastal management strategies that enhance the safety of coastal communities from disasters and improve their welfare.

Published: April 2024

Soil compaction has been recognized as a form of soil degradation that mostly deteriorates agricultural soil health worldwide from various climatic conditions and soil management. Heavy compaction can occur in agricultural soils due to intensive tillage, where its effects on soil properties have been the focus of many studies. The present study was undertaken to assess whether soil compaction occurs in agricultural soils adopting no-tillage systems and how the link between soil compaction and chemical-biological characteristics could be. A field investigation was carried out in two different locations that have different soil types, Entisol in Maitara Island and Ultisol in Halmahera Island, North Maluku Province. Sixteen undisturbed and disturbed soil samples were collected from each location grown with cassava and taken to the laboratory for analysis. Soil components observed included soil texture, bulk density, particle density, total porosity, soil permeability, soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) availability, and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB). The findings revealed linear relationships between soil compaction and sand fraction, SOM, PSB, and available P, but none were found in soil total N. These results confirmed the importance of soil compaction management in food crop agricultural systems, particularly when soil carbon is low, to promote soil health. As the inconsistent correlation of soil compaction and chemical-biological properties was found in these two soil types, further investigation is necessary.
Metaphors of Extractive Capitalism and Fabulation in Nope
Authors: Turcios Michael Anthony
Published: April 2024

This essay argues that Jordan Peele’s Nope (2022) offers metaphor and fabulation as a critique of extractive capitalism and its detrimental consequences on sentient life. Peele visualizes the outcomes of capitalist extraction and accumulation as exemplified in racialized labor exploitation and anthropogenic catastrophe. I examine how the film mobilizes fabulation to explore cinema’s erasure of Blackness from its history as an example of racial extraction. My analysis of extraction extends to the shapeshifting sentient “alien,” nicknamed Jean Jacket, who I contend embodies extractive capitalism via its consumption and expulsion of carbon-based life and indigestible objects. I maintain that Peele uses the trope of the alien-monster as a metaphor to comment on the threat of ecological collapse. I then proceed to study how Nope makes a pointed critique of human misuse of media technologies due to an insatiable avarice for notoriety. Finally, I conclude with a reading of how extractive capitalism forecloses the possibility for humans to establish multispecies empathy and cohabitation.

Published: April 2024

The current study aims to categorize the different preschool literacy interaction profiles among first graders with Hangeul acquisition difficulties (HAD) and their typically developing peers. Its objective is to compare the different groups, on their preference for literary activities at age 5 and first grade basic academic skills. Latent profile analyses were executed for 99 dyads of children with HAD and their mothers, and 140 dyads of typically developing children and their mothers. First graders with HAD exhibited 5 different pat-terns of preschool literacy interaction profile: inefficiently passive, passively interactive, quantitatively neutral, qualitatively neutral, and actively interactive. For typically develop-ing first graders, there were 4 patterns: directive-passive, overall average, non-directive-active, and balanced-active. For preference for literary activities, the actively in-teractive group under children with HAD and the balanced-active and nondirective-active groups for typically developing children showed high levels. Regarding basic academic skills, the actively interactive group scored higher than the inefficiently passive and pas-sively interactive groups for children with HAD. On the other hand, typically developing children showed that the nondirective-active group scored higher than the overall average group. Such results provide important suggestions and potential directions for developing education programs for parents or intervention plans for children.

Manifestations of Nannies’ Language in Everyday Communication between Mother and Child: Pedagogical Aspect
Authors: Famuła-Jurczak Anita
Published: April 2024

The article substantiates the importance of nannies’ language for the children’s development, namely the danger of long-term use of the phonetic, morphological and syntactic properties of babysitters' language in the process of communicating with the child. The theoretical positions that are the basis for the analysis of the collected research material are related to the theories of symbolic interactionism, constructivism, and the ecological theory of human development. In the research it is assumed that the child's development is dynamic and occurs as a result of structuring and restructuring the experience gained during interaction. It is confirmed that development takes place in a certain environment, but it is worth remembering that the child is not a passive imitator of the stimuli, but as a result of mutual interaction with the environment. The child begins to form one’s own image of the surrounding world. It has been found that language serves as one of the elements that allow a person to build an idea of the surrounding reality in mind. The article emphasizes the importance of speech and, more broadly, communicative competences for a child's development. The results of a study conducted among mothers of two- to three-year-old children are presented. Considering this stage of the child's development is considered special because of the phase of the child's speech development, as well as the formation of personality. The study presents a diagnostic survey and includes free communication between mother and child. The paper outlines the characteristic properties of the language of nannies. Based on the results of the study, the consequences for the development of long-term use of nanny’s language by adults are shown. The article emphasizes the importance and influence of the communication skills and abilities of babysitters and parents on the child's development and further education, as well as the importance of pedagogical support for effective communication in early childhood.

Authors: Mykytyn Tetiana , Dmytrus Nataliia , Kapets Nadiia , Gniezdilova Victoria
Published: April 2024

The article is dedicated to methods of activating students' independent learning activities during biology classes. It is proved that independent work in education holds significant importance for both the learning process and students of general secondary education. As noted by the authors of the article, the successful implementation of such activities depends on the teacher's ability to effectively manage them. Among the innovative methods there are: problem-based learning, projects and research, group work, utilization of internet resources and multimedia, task solving, and independent preparation of presentations or reports. By following these principles, it is possible to contribute to the development of students with their own worldview and a steadfast life position. The article highlights the importance of active independent learning activities during lessons, particularly in biology, and provides lesson plans developed using methods aimed at fostering such activities among seventh-grade students. Additionally, the results of student surveys are presented, demonstrating the level of interest in biological education, ranking of subjects in personal significance, level of students’ independent activity, and their suggestions for diversifying and improving the process of biology learning. It was revealed that 13% of students exhibit a high level of independent learning activity, 54% demonstrate an average level, while 32% have a low level of independent learning activity. It is noted that activation of students' independent learning activities in the process of studying biology is crucial for both their personal growth and overall development. As biology has its peculiarities, students' independent activity becomes the foundation for their success and the development of scientific thinking. Taking into account these aspects, it can be argued that students' independent cognitive activity in the study of biology is essential for their comprehensive development and the formation of scientific thinking and skills useful in future life and professional activities. According to the research, to achieve such results, teachers should create conditions conducive to the development of students' independence and cognitive abilities, providing them with the opportunity to independently explore, study, and conceptualize new knowledge.

Benefits of Interactive Learning for Students' Critical Thinking Skills Improvement
Authors: Blyznyuk Tetyana , Kachak Tetiana
Published: April 2024

The article throws the light on the problem of developing students’ critical thinking skills through interactive learning. The latter offers numerous benefits for students'soft skills improvement. It requires students to actively participate in the education process, promoting engagement with the material to be gained. Interactive learning often involves problem-solving activities, which foster students to apply critical thinking skills to analyze information, evaluate results, and solve educational problems. Through hands-on experiences and real-world scenarios, students develop the ability to think critically and make informed decisions. Such active engagement encourages students to process information deeper, leading to better understanding and retention of concepts. Interaction in the learning process frequently involves collaborative activities that encourage students to work together and share ideas. Thus, collaborative learning enhances communication skills and exposes students to different perspectives, fostering critical thinking through discussions and debates. Innovative platforms aimed at interactive learning often provide immediate feedback, allowing students to assess their understanding and correct misconceptions promptly. Instant feedback facilitates a continuous learning cycle, enabling students to refine their critical thinking skills by addressing gaps in their knowledge. Interactive learning also emphasizes the application of knowledge in practical contexts. When students apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations, they simultaneously develop critical thinking skills by considering the relevance and implications of their knowledge. The authors focus on the importance on creating interactive learning environments which can be adaptable to different learning styles and paces. This adaptability encourages independent thinking and allows students to explore topics in-depth, contributing to the development of critical thinking skills. Interactive learning often incorporates multimedia resources such as videos, simulations, and interactive exercises. They provide diverse stimuli for learners, motivating critical thinking by requiring them to analyze information presented in various formats. Interactive learning can make the learning process more enjoyable and engaging for students. Considering all these aspects of arranging favorable environment for interactive learning, the authors prove the increase students’ motivation in acquiring knowledge. This leads to greater effort and persistence in students’ learning, contributing to the development and application of critical thinking skills. Thus, interactive learning activities include opportunities for reflection, where students focus on their thinking processes. Reflective practices encourage learners to evaluate their own understanding, identify areas for improvement, and refine their critical thinking strategies.
Effect of wood surface finish on wood species classification using spectral reflectance
Authors: Wang Cheng-Kun , Zhao Peng , Yang Jia-Le
Published: April 2024

Wood species can be classified by spectral reflectance. It is unclear whether finish coated on the wood surface affects the accuracy of wood species classification. This paper focused on this issue, using the spectral reflectance of 8 different kinds of finish for wood species classification. The spectral reflectance of wood surface coated with finish was modified by the transfer model in order to reduce the effect of finish on classification accuracy. The experimental results show that it is not feasible to use the spectral reflectance of wood samples coated with finish directly to classify wood species; the best classification accuracy using the eight finishes was 30%. After correcting the spectrum of wood samples coated with finishes with the direct standardization (DS) transfer model, the classification accuracy of the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum was close to that of the original spectrum without finish. However, the visible/near-infrared (VIS/NIR) spectrum did not achieve a good classification effect after correction with the DS transfer model.

Published: April 2024

Recently the drug discovery trend has been to design hybrid drug molecules consisting of different pharmacophore groups linked together via spacers. Calcium channel blockers have an important role in the treatment of several cardiovascular diseases. The objective of the present research work is to encompass the strategic design, synthesis, and computational assessment of novel 1,4- dihydropyridine containing calcium channel blocker hybrid containing beta blocker side chain along with NO group as promoting cardiovascular agents as a viable alternative to well-established drugs like Amlodipine, Nifedipine, Felodipine, etc.  In this research, we synthesized new 18 cardiovascular hybrid compounds based on structure-activity relationship properties. The 3D crystallographic structure of the calcium channel receptor (6M7H) was obtained from PDB. RCSB and used for docking study. The molecular docking studies were carried out by using the standard option Glide 5.5 in Maestro. In silico molecular docking analysis of all the synthesized compounds, AE1 to AE18, showed good docking scores and remarkable interactions with the essential amino acid residues located within the receptor's binding pocket of 6M7H. In comparison to amlodipine, AE12, AE6, AE8, AE11, AE5, AE16, and AE14 exhibit good scores as well as good binding patterns. AE12 exhibits the highest docking score of -8.455 kcal mol?1. Extensive ADMET profiling and structure–activity relationship (SAR) elucidated favorable pharmacokinetic properties and essential structural modifications influencing antihypertensive effectiveness.

Neonatal thrombocytopenia is a common hematological abnormality in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A study was conducted to estimate the frequency, etiological characteristics and predisposing factors of thrombocytopenia in the NICU. In the study, it was determined that the prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 39% and the prevalence of severe thrombocytopenia was 11%. The most common cause is sepsis, and maternal peripartum bleeding is associated with neonatal thrombocytopenia. Neonatal factors associated with thrombocytopenia include age at presentation, sepsis, DIC, NEC, candiduria, and assisted breathing. Gestational age, IUGR, and perinatal asphyxia were not associated with neonatal thrombocytopenia. Transfusion was not associated with thrombocytopenia, probably due to the use of fresh blood. Signs and symptoms associated with thrombocytopenia include bleeding, purpura, and delayed capillary refill. Neonatal thrombocytopenia requires a longer hospital stay and the need for supplemental oxygen and intravenous fluids. Severe thrombocytopenic newborns have a higher mortality rate than non-thrombocytopenic newborns. Low platelet count is a risk factor for adverse outcomes, and whole blood transfusion has been shown to be an effective alternative to platelet transfusion in the treatment of severe neonatal thrombocytopenia.
Dielectric, Magnetic and Surface Analytical Study of Dy and Tb Doped (Bi, Pb)(Fe,Ti)O3 Multiferroic Ceramics

Polycrystalline samples of Bi0.8A0.1Pb0.1Fe0.9Ti0.1O3(where A = Dy and Tb) ceramics have been prepared through high temperature sintering technique. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the ceramics possess perovskite phase with hexagonal crystal symmetry. Dielectric and electrical properties indicate that the Curie temperature shifted to higher temperature with Dy doping. AC conductivity of the sample increases with increase in temperature which confirms the negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) behaviour of material. Substitution of Dy and Tb ions at A-site suppress the spiral spin structure of BiFeO3 which is further responsible for the appearance of weak ferromagnetism atroom-temperature.Induced destruction of the spin cycloid due to the Dy and Tb substitution, these multiferroic properties are attributed because of the enhanced magneto-electric interaction.

Objective. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of cognitive decline in patients with diabetes in the clinical setting and to identify patient characteristics directly associated with this condition. patients with diabetes in the clinical setting and to identify patient characteristics directly associated with this condition.
Methods. In our cross-sectional study, we applied the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to determine cognitive function in 172 diabetic patients, in the clinical setting. We included 120 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), 42 cases with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and 10 patients with confirmed secondary diabetes (SDM). The mean age of the participants was 62.4 years (±1.01, min: 26 years, Max: 87 years), with median diabetes duration of 15±11.8 years.
Results. More than half (55.23%) of the subjects presented cognitive deterioration, which was diabetes type-specific (p<0.05). Mild forms affected mostly T1DM and SDM cases (31.5% and 30% vs. T2DM: 14.5%, p=0.00), whereas moderate cognitive decline was more predominant in T2DM (21.9% vs. T1DM: 7.1%, p=0.1). A higher prevalence of severe cognitive impairment was present in T1DM (14.5% vs. T2DM: 8.7%, p=0.1).
The middle-aged category (40-64 years) was characterized by a more significant reduction of cognitive function in comparison with other age groups (p=0.02).
No gender-related difference in the prevalence of cognitive decline was found (female: 45.83% vs male: 45.71%, p=0.98), although severe forms were significantly more suggestive for men (15.27% vs. 4.18%, p=0.04).
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at admission was more frequently associated with cognitive deterioration, in comparison with hypoglycemic events (p=0.03).
In T2DM, cognitive decline (p=0.006, r=-0.342) was associated with the presence of anemia.
In T2DM women, treatment with calcium-channel blockers facilitated cognitive decrement (p=0.01, r=-0.339), whereas in men, therapy for distal symmetric polyneuropathy resulted in higher MMSE/ MoCA test scores (p=0.00, r=0.72).
In T1DM, a higher glycemic burden evidenced by increased HbA1c (p=0.03, r=- 0.364) and glycemia at admission (p=0.01, r=-0.389) was suggestive to a more severe form of cognitive impairment. Distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (p=0.05, r=-0.305) and diabetic retinopathy (p=0.03, r=-0.102) was often co-occurring with cognitive decline.
Cognitive deterioration was associated with insulin therapy (p=0.05, r=-0.232).
Conclusion. The prevalence of cognitive decline is high in the diabetic population. Risk stratification must start at diagnosis and physicians should follow disease progression periodically, with special attention attributed to T1DM and the middle-aged population.

Authors: Borysova O.V.
Published: April 2024

The results of the analysis of literature and original data on the species diversity and distribution patterns of algae of the genus Nitella C.Agardh (Charophyta, Charales) in Ukraine are presented. Now, the diversity of the genus Nitella in Ukraine is represented by 9 species out of 13, known in the Europe flora of Charales, namely: Nitella capillaris (Krock.) J.Groves et Bull.-Webst., N. confervacea (Bréb.) A.Braun ex Leonh., N. gracilis (Sm.) C.Agardh, N. flexilis (L.) C.Agardh, N. mucronata (A.Braun) Miq., N. opaca (C.Agardh ex Bruz.) C.Agardh, N. syncarpa (Thuill.) Chev., N. tenuissima (Desv.) Kütz. and N. translucens (Persoon) C.Agardh. An annotated list of Ukrainian species in Ukraine. A total of 78 locations have been registered, including historical, lost, and modern ones. Most of them were found within the Pripyat-Desnianska (PpDSAP) (50) and Serednyodniprovska (SDpAP) (21), much less  within the Dnieper-Black Sea (DpAp) (3) and Carpathian-Danube (CpDnAP) (4) algofloristic subprovinces. It is suggested that main limiting factors influencing on diversity and distribution patterns of the Nitella species in Ukraine are the type of waterbodies, temperature, a degree of minimalization as well as chemical main ionic composition of water and active reaction (pH) of water.

Published: April 2024

Gastrostomy tube insertion has become a more common practice in pediatric patients. An increasing number of children both in health-care facilities and at home are relying on temporary or long-term enteral feeding. Gastrostomy tube placement can be accomplished by various methods and by a variety of specialists. Despite the overall safety of these procedures, both early and late complications can occur. It is important for pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists to be familiar with and aware of the indications, safety, and management of gastrostomies. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the topic.
