CALCULATION OF NITROGEN HEAT ADSORPTION ON VARIOUS CATALYSTS USING BET-CONSTANT (BET-C) DATA
Authors: Triyono Triyono , Trisunaryanti Wega , Sidjabat Oberlin
Published: February 2024

BET-C (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller-Constant) was used to calculate the heat of adsorption (ΔHads) of nitrogen gas on the various catalysts. The well-known Brunauer–Emmett– Teller (B.E.T.) equation is used primarily to determine the surface area from the physical adsorption of a gas on a solid surface. Surface area of catalysts was determined by using surface area analyzer (NOVA 1000). The BET-C included in the data is usually neglected or is not taken into account. However, by using the basic principles of the adsorption theory fitted with the functions based on the BET adsorption model, the important data of BET-C can be shown in this study. The value of the ΔHads (N2 ) for zeolite, H-zeolite, Pt/zeolite, Pt-Pd/zeolite, and Pt-Ce/zeolite calculated from the equation derived from BET-C are -6.43, -6.52, -8.78, -8.69, -9.71 and -9.52 kJ/mol, respectively.

Published: February 2024

The need of EOR techniques in the late field production period is essential to get the third wind of incremental oil. Chemical injections are proven technologies not only at the laboratory scale but also at the field scale which have been implemented in many parts of the world. Surfactant is an important chemical in this technology, which mostly has been used to reduce the capillary trap of the oil in the reservoirs. The selection of surfactant type which is suitable for a specific oil field to increase the oil production should fulfill the selection criteria. Laboratory works firstly should be done to evaluate the important properties based on the industrial standard procedures. These laboratory tests include compatibility test, aqueous stability test, phase behavior study, micro-emulsion viscosity, interfacial tension determination, thermal stability test, and filtration test.
The impact of protected areas on the livelihoods of local communities: a case of Khula village, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Authors:   , Bafana Ronald Mpilo
Published: February 2024

The purpose of the study was to investigate the lived experiences of the local communities that live adjacent to protected areas (PA) in South Africa using a case study of Khula Village which is located in KwaZulu-Natal. The literature which was reviewed acknowledges the importance of protected areas however the communities who reside close to protected areas are not fully benefiting from the protected area management, leading to conflicts between management authorities and local communities. This study has sought insight from community members in Khula Village in pursuit of the overarching research question: a) What are the benefits of protected areas management to local communities? b) What are the factors that hinder the flow of benefits? and c) How is the protected area perceived? The individuals interviewed provided data for the research questions. The findings that I gathered suggest that this community has nothing against conservation but the issue is how it is done. The community is not enjoying the benefits of conservation this has led to clashes between the iSimangaliso Wetland Park Authority (IWPA) and the community, unfortunately some of these clashes have often led to fatalities. By applying the political ecological approach (Robbins, 2012), as a basis of analysis my study suggests that the approach of management of IWPA is unsustainable; not involving of local people from protected areas management leads to conflict; the state control of the PA has negatively affected the livelihood of the local community. The study findings have recommendations that may help inform the government and management agencies to manage PA more sustainably.
“My life is nothing but a comedy”: madness and revenge tragedy in Todd Phillips’ Joker (2019)
Authors:   , Akoo Selma.
Published: February 2024

This dissertation analyses the employment of madness and the revenge tragedy in the contemporary Hollywood film, Joker (dir. Phillips, 2019). By focussing on the causation that leads to the protagonist’s tragic fate, I argue that the protagonist’s use of blood revenge is due to the city’s indifferent nature towards its marginalised and mentally ill citizens. Though the protagonist’s crimes cannot warrant any justification, an empathetic understanding can be bridged to the audience due to the intimate portrayal of his suffering. Madness is most certainly loaded with diverse histories and persists as an anomaly to humans. The current interpretation of madness, within the context of mental illness, greatly differs from its early understanding incorporating societal rejection of those who failed to uphold the standards of societal convention. In Joker, it is further attributed to individuality and liberation from the constraints of societal convention. My research maintains that the film deploys madness as a defensive and coping mechanism against the tyranny of societal structures, through which the protagonist emancipates his dangerous and powerful Joker persona. In addition, I analyse the portrayal of mental illness in Joker. I impartially explore the film’s rally for mental illness awareness and compare it to its damaging depiction of a violent and murderous mentally ill protagonist. The film essentially embodies both redeeming and harmful portrayals of mental illness. I henceforth assess the presence of the revenge tragedy in Joker by examining the formula of the genre’s leading precedent, The Spanish Tragedy (Kyd, [1592] 1898). The Kydian formula establishes the structure of a revenge tragedy narrative employing blood revenge as its primary method of retribution, and it is through this formula that I am able to locate and justify the presence of the revenge tragedy in Joker (dir. Phillips, 2019). Due to the cold-blooded vengeance the protagonist undertakes, I evaluate the cautionary tale around the mistreatment of the mentally ill which gave rise to the events in the film. As a result of this, my research asserts that the protagonist ultimately occupies the seat of the anti-hero despite the brutal nature of his crimes. The societal system reigns as the true villain of the film, because if it were not for the systematic marginalisation of Gotham’s disadvantaged and mentally ill citizens, as well as the callous nature of society, then the protagonist may have not walked down the dark path that he did.

THE BATTLE OF CHAERONEA: 86 BCE
Authors: Belfiglio Valentine J.
Published: February 2024

In 86 BCE Proconsul Lucius Cornelius Sulla’s (138-78 BCE) looked over the potential battlefield at the broad plain near Chaeronea. He heard horses neigh, and men rumble as they set up camp. Sulla knew the upcoming engagement of his 30,000 legionnaires against the 120,000-man army of Mithridates VI (135-78 BCE) (Appian 12.3.17, 12.6.41) of Pontus would be bloody, brutal, and deadly. General Archelaus commanded the Pontic forces. Sulla may have reflected on the cascade of events which placed him in this dire situation.In 107 BCE. Consul Gaius Marius (157-86 BCE) initiated policies designed to enhance the efficacy of the Roman army. One of these reforms placed the responsibility to supply and manage an army under the authority of the commanding general, rather than the Consul and Senate. This change allowed charismatic, ambitious generals to divert the primary loyalty of soldiers to themselves rather than the State. Sulla used this change in loyalty to march on Rome in 88 BCE and 82 BCE. (Plutarch 2.3.1)In 89 BCE Mithridates embarked on a policy of military expansionism. He invaded Bithynia and Cappadocia, even though Roman officials warned him to respect Bithynia’s sovereignty. The Roman Senate declared war on Pontus, appointed Sulla to prosecute the war, and the First Mithridatic War began (89-84 BCE). (Appian 12.4.22, 12.5.30) Mithridates’ army overran Roman provinces in Asia Minor. Cassius Dio reported: “All the Asiatic, at the bidding of Mithridates massacred the Romans.” (Dio 31.101) Mithridates then invaded the Roman province of Greece. The seizure of Roman territory and murder of Roman citizens was a grievous affront to the honor of Senatus Populusque Romanus (the Senate and People of Rome). Mithridates must have known from the history of Carthage what fate awaited him and Pontus if his military adventurism failed. Either he must destroy the Roman Republic, or it would destroy Pontus and humiliate, then kill him. Control over the region of the Eastern Mediterranean was at stake. Civil War diverted Sulla’s attention, but he finally advanced against Pontic armies in Greece in 87 BCE. He quickly drove two Mithridatic armies into the fortifications of Athens and the Piraeus. Then he successfully moved against these two fortifications. Archelaus escaped by sea to Boeotia. Sulla followed him with his army to Chaeronea, in central Greece. He had Legates Sulpicious Galba, Licinious Murena, and Lucius Hortensius under his command (Plutarch 15.17).

Published: February 2024

The effect of epibrassinolide in combination with salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate on the formation of complex resistance of clonally micropropagated potato plants of the Briz variety to the potato virus Y and to moisture lack, their physiological state, the functioning of the pro-/antioxidant system, as well as on the productivity and quality of the obtained mini-tubers was studied. It was revealed that antiviral resistance under combined stress conditions is formed only in the presence of epibrassinolide that triggers a series of protective mechanisms through accumulation of hydrogen peroxide, phenolic compounds and an increase in peroxidase activity, while maintaining productivity and improving the quality of the products obtained. The use of a three-component mixture is accompanied by the largest mass and a number of potato minitubers, while its protective effect against a viral infection is not manifested.

Based on the sequence of the Golden Delicious apple genome, whose nucleotide sequence is located in the GenBank database, the design of molecular markers of SSR type that limit the area of tetra- and hexanucleotide repeats was carried out in silico. The most informative of them were selected, which showed clear peaks on capillary electrophoresis and made it possible to reveal a high level of polymorphism in certain apple genome regions. The developed SSR markers can be effectively used for the genetic diversity assession and DNA identification of apple varieties, establishment of the varietal correspondence. These markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of apple trees in the old orchard of the Central Botanical Garden of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (CBG) where trees were planted from 1932 to 1940. It is shown that the trees growing in the garden are genetically close to old local varieties, as well as to individual foreign ones. It is established that among the trees of the CBG old orchard there are such varieties as Antonovka obyknovennaya, Minskoe, Papirovka. Wealthy, Melba, Bogatyr’. The obtained results will be used to save the genetic resources of the fruit crop valuable for the country, which is an apple tree, as well as to develop a design project of a new fruit plants collection-exposition when reconstructing the area of old plantings.
Analysis of the problem of molecular identification of wild (wtCT), plasmidless (p-CT) and Swedish (SE-nvCT) variants of Chlamydia trachomatis in Belarus
Authors: Rubanik L. V. , Poleshchuk N. N.
Published: February 2024

To date, it is known that the population of Chlamydia trachomatis is genetically heterogeneous. Along with the originally described wild type (wtCT), mutant variants (mtCT) have been found in the world: plasmidless (p-CT), Swedish (SE-nvCT), Mexican (MX-nvCT), Finnish (FI-nvCT), with different virulence and tropicity to various organs and tissues. These variants may escape PCR diagnostics due to the absence of targets or the occurrence of changes in them, which makes it ineffective to use a number of diagnostic test systems for pathogen detection.

Isolates of C. trachomatis collected on the territory of the Republic of Belarus during the period 2013–2022 in reproductive age persons with inflammatory urogenital tract diseases were analyzed. It was found that the dominant pathogen genovariant is the wild type wtCT ‒, approximately 93 %. Mutant strains that make up about 7 % of the pathogen population are represented by p-CT and SE-nvCT genovariants. There were no cases of identification of MX-nvCT and FI-nvCT genovariants in the analyzed sample of C. trachomatis isolates.

It is necessary to further optimize the tactics of molecular biological identification of various C. trachomatis genovariants for effective microorganism detection and study of the chlamydial urogenital infection pathogenesis.

The research aim is to study the efficiency of using the OvSynch and Co-Synch schemes with subsequent resynchronization on beef cows and heifers of the Aberdeen Angus breed. The hormonal state of animals and the biochemical blood serum parameters were chosen as factors determining reproductive function. The purpose is to study the efficiency of applying the OvSynch and Co-Synch synchronization protocols on cows and heifers of the Aberdeen Angus breed depending on the hormonal state of the inseminated animals and the biochemical blood serum parameters. The rate of fertilization in cows inseminated according to the OvSynch protocol was determined to be 5.0 to 8.5 % higher during the first stage of insemination and 5.5 % higher during the second stage of insemination. In the group of heifers, the best fertilization results were obtained while using the Co-Synch protocol (59.3 %). Giving cows a second injection of GnRH, on day 9 of the OvSynch protocol, 16 hours before insemination, provided an average rate of fertilization of 52.3 %, which is 3.4 % higher compared to the 14-hour interval between GnRH injection and insemination. The concentration of steroid and gonadotropic hormones, including cortisol, estradiol, FSH and LH, in experimental animals during insemination corresponded to the estrus phase. The results of biochemical blood tests indicate a number of metabolic inconsistencies in the animal body. Changes in the biochemical blood serum parameters in animals that did not become pregnant followed the same patterns as in those that became pregnant. However, the level of increase or decrease in parameters was less pronounced. The results obtained can be used in arranging artificial insemination in breeding and commercial agricultural organizations engaged in beef cattle breeding, as well as in teaching process of zootechnical and veterinary disciplines in agricultural higher educational institutions of the Republic of Belarus.

To determine the loci associated with pedigree traits, a genome-wide search was conducted for associations of 275 heads of Russian sheep breeds genotyped using 600 thousand single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The studies were conducted according to the “case-control” type, where the “case” group is represented by animals of the North Caucasian meat and wool breed, the “control” included animals of other breeds (Karachay, Romanovskaya, Dzhalginsky merino and Russian meat merino). In this study, over 100 SNPs were identified with highly reliable differences in the frequency of occurrence in sheep of the North Caucasian meat and wool breed. For the subsequent analysis, 18 single nucleotides with the highest confidence indices localized on chromosomes were selected 1, 10, 11, 15, 17. As a result of a genome-wide study, significant SNP markers characteristic of the sheep breed under study, located directly in the genes or close to them, were determined. The conducted studies provide a set of new SNP markers and candidate genes associated with the breed characteristics of North Caucasian meat-wool sheep.

Oatmeal cookies contain trans fats and gluten, which have a negative impact on health. The content of these compounds harmful to the body is due to the inclusion of margarine and wheat flour in the cookies recipe. Margarine was replaced with encapsulated sunflower oil in shells of hydrocolloids. Based on studies of the foaming and emulsifying properties of protein-polysaccharide mixtures, it was found that the most stable shells on drops of sunflower oil are formed from hydrocolloids consisting of whey and a triple mixture of polysaccharides (agar, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose). Additionally, in order to obtain a gluten-free product, wheat flour was removed from the recipe. The exclusion of wheat flour was compensated by the introduction of a mixture of corn and potato starches. The obtained samples of rich oatmeal cookies were compared with the control. Studies of the baking process have been carried out. It has been established that the introduction of encapsulated sunflower oil into the dough affects the thermophysical properties of the dough and increases its thermal diffusivity, which shortens the duration of baking cookies and increases the productivity of the oven by 17 %. Researches of structure of cookies on traditional and new technology are carried out. Tomographic images showed that the introduction of encapsulated oil in hydrocolloidal shells instead of margarine and the replacement of wheat flour with a mixture of corn and potato starches produced gluten-free cookies with a more porous structure. Oatmeal cookies, prepared according to the new technology and recipe, have better organoleptic characteristics, have a more balanced chemical composition, have an enriched fatty acid composition, which makes it possible to recommend them as a functional food.

Connection of the Chinese Green Belt and Road Initiative and the EAEU environmental agenda with the participation of the Republic of Belarus
Authors: Avsyuk A. A.
Published: February 2024

The article is devoted to the problem of pairing the Chinese Green Belt and Road Initiative with the functioning of the Eurasian Economic Union with the participation of Belarus as a member country of the regional association. In theoretical terms, the expediency of studying this problem within the framework of a new scientific direction – the greening of international economic relations (IER), which is formed on an interdisciplinary basis at the intersection of theories of international economic relations, environmental concepts and international environmental law, is shown.

The author’s approach to the development of this scientific direction is substantiated, according to which the need to give ecological content to all structural elements of international economic relations (subject, object, interests, management tools) is determined, which should receive appropriate economic forms of expression.

In practical terms, the main directions of the Chinese Green Belt and Road Initiative were considered, including the promotion of the construction of green and low-carbon infrastructure; building green supply chain management systems; participation of environmental public organizations; ensuring sustainable production and consumption, including the development of “green” trade, etc. The key positions for the implementation of the environmental agenda in the EAEU are identified as a condition for the implementation of the green belt and the way in the format of a regional association.

The priority measures of the interface mechanism are proposed, which include: development of a joint action plan; creation of an environmental group of representatives of interested countries; organization of a network of contact points for the provision of environmental services; formation on a digital basis of an environmental monitoring system along the Belt and Road route, etc.

The conclusion about the formation of an eco-industrial park on the basis of the Chinese-Belarusian industrial park “Great Stone” as the main Belarusian link in the mechanism of conjugation of the EAEU and the PRC in the field of landscaping the Belt and Road is substantiated. The necessary completed components of the eco-industrial park model recommended for implementation are determined.

Historically, Indonesia is an area prone to natural disasters. Potential losses caused by natural disasters can be death, injury, illness, threatened life, sense of security, displacement, damage or loss of objects, and disruption of daily activities. The impact of natural disasters will indirectly affect output, income, demand for labor, and economic growth. This study aims to calculate the impact of natural disasters in Central Sulawesi Province (which occurred in 2018) on the regional and national economies. The method used is the Interregional Input-Output model measuring 17 sectors and 34 provinces. The findings show that Central Sulawesi Province's Gross Regional Domestic Product is IDR.114.01 trillion, decreased-12.93 percent to IDR.99.27 trillion due to natural disasters. Labor demand decreased by -9.68 percent, and income decreased by -9.58 percent. Natural disasters in Central Sulawesi Province also impacted the decline in National GDP by -0.16 percent. Disaster mitigation programs are essential for anticipating direct and indirect losses caused by natural disasters. Consequently, the government must consider the impact of inflation and economic growth when implementing disaster mitigation programs on the public agenda.

Abstract. During the COVID-19 pandemic, people are advised to always wash their hands using soap and running water or hand sanitizer. Concerns about dangerous chemicals in hand sanitizers encouraged us to carry out community service in villages close to our campus, namely Cilayung Village, Jatinangor, West Java. In this activity, we used the fig plant, which was proven to have antibacterial activity. This community service aims to use fig leaf extract as an active ingredient in hand sanitizer. The method used is simple technology on a household scale: boiling fig leaves to obtain an extract, which is then formulated into a hand sanitizer. Before the activity, we optimized the formula of hand sanitizer from fig leaves. During community service, we provide education on fig leaves which have antibacterial activity, accompanied by making your own (do-it-yourself) hand sanitizer that can be used every day. The result, which is assessed through an interactive quiz, shows that education can increase participants’ knowledge regarding the use of fig leaves, and they can process fig leaves into hand sanitizer. The conclusion is that people know the benefits of fig leaves and how to process them into hand sanitizer.

Abstract.  A series of training and mentoring were carried out in community partnership program to improve the ability of the Kipas Banyu Biru Craft SMEs to manage their business. So far, the Kipas Banyu Biru Craft has not kept a record of its financial transactions, so it is difficult to know how much profit is actually earned from this business. In addition, other problems faced by Kipas Banyu Biru Craft are the design of the fan motif which is still simple, as well as marketing that is still traditional and does not use information technology. To overcome this problem, several activities have been carried out. There are providing training and assistance in accounting bookkeeping either manually or using a computer, training and assistance in developing more fan motif designs, and training and assisting internet websites for marketing. The results show that partners are now skilled in bookkeeping and making fan motif designs, and are skilled at using internet websites for marketing their products.

Abstract. To be able to carry out learning in the digital era, teachers must be literate in technology and information. We are currently in the era of the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which demands harmony between humans and information technology in finding solutions to various problems and creating creative and innovative opportunities. One of the competencies of 21st-century teachers is to develop interactive learning media based on digital technology. However, the reality in the field is that there are limited facilities and infrastructure, so there needs to be another motivation to develop ICT in the learning process of early childhood education (PAUD). This activity uses the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, which is a transformative approach that aims to solve problems and fulfill the orientation on empowerment and practical needs of community change. The training participants are representatives of PAUD teachers in the Astanaanyar sub-district, under the coordination of the POKJA Bunda PAUD Astana Anyar sub-district. The result of this training is the increased ability of teachers to develop learning media in the form of games using the PowerPoint program, commonly known as a presentation application.
Legal Review Of Liability From Deepfake Artificial Intelligence That Contains Pornography
Authors: Muhammad Ilman Abidin
Published: February 2024

This article seeks to determine who is responsible for the widespread use of deepfake AI to create pornographic content and how Indonesian law governs it. Deepfakes, a subfield of artificial intelligence, can manipulate visual media by superimposing facial features on the bodies of others, creating misleading videos. Deepfakes were first used in movies and then in gadgets. However, deepfakes have been used to make explicit pornographic videos. This research is normative law-based. This study found that Indonesia has no specific legislation on artificial intelligence technology, except for Law Number 19 of 2016, which amends Law Number 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions. Number 44 of 2008 on Pornography prohibits pornographic content creation and provides criminal penalties to hold offenders accountable. In Government Regulation (PP) Number 71 of 2019, which regulates electronic systems and transactions, pornographic platform providers cannot use deepfake technology.

Eradicating Al-Qur'an illiteracy is an important agenda item that must be prioritized. It is one of the problems in madrasah diniyyah institutions that requires a broad range of teacher competencies related to meaningful and enjoyable Al-Quran learning in the aspects of planning, preparation, and use of learning media, as well as various evaluation techniques for early Al-Qur'an literacy learning for madrasah diniyyah students. As a solution, to improve competence and skills in carrying out early Al-Qur'an literacy learning, madrasah teachers must be given knowledge and skills in managing early Al-Qur'an literacy learning. The goal is that teachers can provide proper early Qur'an literacy learning for madrasah students. The Community-Based Participatory Research Method (CBPR) is used in this service. This method seeks to facilitate the community in improving academic quality. The empowerment results show that the ability of madrasah teachers to implement early Qur'an literacy learning has significantly increased through several activities that have been carried out, namely planning lesson plans, methods, and techniques of learning the Qur'an, selecting Al-Qur'an learning media, and applying Al-Qur'an learning evaluation techniques. Assistance for madrasah teachers must always be carried out to expand their pedagogical competence.

Abstract: Experimental values of ultrasonic velocity (u), density (ρ) and viscosity () for the binary mixture Ethyl acetate (1) + n-Octanol (2) were measured over the whole composition range at temperature T = (295.15, 298.15,301.15 and 305.15) K and at the atmospheric pressure. From the experimental data excess sound velocity (uE), excess viscosity (), excess free volume ( and excess internal pressure (PiE) were calculated. These results have been fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. Excess viscosity (), excess free volume ( and excess internal pressure (PiE) were found to be negative for all temperatures. Excess sound velocity (uE), excess viscosity (), excess free volume ( and excess internal pressure (PiE) were plotted against the mole fraction of ethyl acetate over the whole composition range at 295.15, 298.15, 301.15 and 305.15 K. They have been analysed to discuss the nature and strength of intermolecular interactions in these mixtures.
