Environmental air quality monitoring system
Authors: Prince Kazembe , Mtende Mkandawire
Published: July 2024

The rapid urbanization and industrialization have caused a significant increase in environmental pollution, especially in air quality. This paper introduces an IoT-based environmental monitoring system to address these issues. Using state-of-the-art IoT technology, the system deploys sensors in key locations to continuously collect data on air quality indicators like Particulate Matter (PM), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Ozone (O3). The collected data is wirelessly transmitted to a central server for processing and analysis. The system provides real-time and historical data through a user-friendly interface, enabling users to monitor current conditions, identify trends, and identify potential pollution sources. The key features include scalability, allowing for the addition of new sensors, and proactive decision-making through alerts when environmental parameters exceed predefined thresholds. This paper aims to empower communities with the knowledge needed to address and mitigate air pollution, creating healthier and more liveable urban environments in the face of rapid global urbanization.

Published: July 2024

The escalating biodiversity loss demands a paradigm shift in wildlife conservation. This paper proposes an innovative AI system for holistic wildlife management. The deep learning algorithms identify individual animals through biometrics in camera traps, drone footage, and bioacoustics. This surpasses traditional methods, enabling tracking across vast landscapes. The real-time animal tracking data, analyzed by machine learning, allows for early detection of poaching, habitat disturbances, and animal distress. Furthermore, the system integrates environmental sensors to provide a holistic understanding of ecological conditions. The correlating animal movement with environmental data helps identify crucial habitats and predict climate threats. This unified platform empowers proactive wildlife management, transitioning conservation from reactive to evidence-based practices for long-term biodiversity preservation.
Comparison of quantum dots and dyes for Förster resonance energy transfer based aptamer sensors
Authors:   , Mare Alaigne
Published: July 2024

Bio-sensing has enabled the detection and identification of many analytes, including molecules, viruses, diseases, cancers, pollutants, and pesticides. One type of biosensor involves the use of fluorescent dyes capable of Fӧrster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) which, although effective in signalling, can be sensitive to environmental changes such as pH, temperature, and ionic concentrations due to their organic nature. In contrast, inorganic quantum dots are resistant to these environmental changes while also producing a controlled and specific signal through its tuneable band gap and narrow emission. Aptamer-based quantum dot biosensors are therefore a promising alternative to organic dye sensors due to the specificity of aptamers and valued properties of the quantum dots. A combination of green and red fluorophores with attached complementary aptamers allows a FRET signal to be observed when there is no target present, and no FRET signal observed when the target is present.

Here, the selectivity and specificity of novel InP/Zns QD-thrombin aptamer conjugates are investigated and compared with Cyanine3 (Cy3) and Cyanine5 (Cy5) in response to a thrombin protein target. Firstly, the fluorophores are synthesised and characterised. Secondly, four systems are tested for their suitability for FRET, QD-QD, QD-dye, dye-QD, and dye-dye. Thirdly, the suitable systems are tested with the thrombin target for detection through FRET interruption, finding that some detection is observed at higher nM concentrations of thrombin within the QD-QD and QD-dye systems, particularly with lower concentrations of fluorophore. Fourthly, interactions between the green donor QD and thrombin protein are investigated as a possible reason behind the lack of detection in some systems. Finally, the QD-dye system is used with a second target, ATP, and a second dye, Texas Red, to demonstrate the applicability of the overall system type with a range of targets. While the biosensor systems tested were not reliable for thrombin detection, knowledge was gained about the differences between QDs and dyes within the systems tested, and the use of non-toxic InP/ZnS QDs within a FRET-based aptamer system shows promise for future diagnostic use.

Objective: To explore the effects of Lidan Huashi Pills on the glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and growth of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys of rats. Methods: 30 rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, and an experimental group, with 10 rats in each group. The blank group was free to eat and drink water for 8 weeks; the ethylene glycol method was used for the standard calcium oxalate crystal modeling in the control group and experimental group for 4 weeks. The model group was given free feeding and physiological saline (2 ml/d) by continuous gavage for 4 weeks; the experimental group was given free feeding and Lidan Huashi Pills (450 mg/kg, 2 ml/d) by continuous gavage for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, all rats were euthanized, and the left kidney was taken for GSH-Px level detection. The right kidney was stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to observe the formation of calcium oxalate crystals. Results: After 4 weeks of modeling, the urinary calcium levels in the model group and experimental group significantly increased compared to the blank group (868.00 ± 39.29 vs 929.40 ± 33.61, P < 0.05), indicating successful modeling. The urine calcium ion concentration in the experimental group after modeling was significantly lower than that in the model group (929.40 ± 33.61 vs 888.60 ± 25.92, P < 0.05). The grading score of calcium oxalate crystals in the model group was significantly higher than that in the blank group (P < 0.05); the grading score of calcium oxalate crystals in the experimental group was lower than that in the model group, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The GSH-Px activity in the left kidney of the model group was significantly lower than that of the blank group [203.49 (208.21, 144.22) vs 494.91 (431.32, 538.18), P < 0.05); the GSH-Px activity in the left kidney of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the model group [433.60 (383.86, 504.49) vs 203.49 (208.21, 144.22), P < 0.05). Morphological observation and H&E staining suggest that the formation of right kidney crystals and inflammation in the experimental group are between the blank group and the model group. Conclusion: Lidan Huashi Pills can enhance the serum GSH-Px activity in rats and inhibit the growth of calcium oxalate crystals and inflammatory response in the kidneys, thus playing a role in preventing and treating urinary tract stones.

Defisit nutrisi menyebabkan peningkatan mortalitas pada anak dengan ventilasi mekanis di Pediatric Intensif Care Unit (PICU). Nutrisi enteral merupakan teknik pemberian makan bagi pasien dengan intake oral yang tidak adekuat dan dengan saluran gastrointestinal yang berfungsi baik. Intermiten feeding adalah strategi pemberian makan yang dibatasi waktu yang didasarkan pada beberapa perubahan metabolisme pada beberapa pasien. Metode intermiten feeding yaitu cara pemberian nutrisi enteral menggunakan pompa elektronik (syringpump) dengan ditetapkan aturan pemberian dengan mengatur kecepatan cairan per jam dan diberikan sesuai dengan dosis atau waktu tertentu. Tujuan studi kasus untuk mengetahui pengaruh penerapan metode Intermitten feeding terhadap penurunan volume residu lambung pada anak yang dirawat di unit perawatan intensif. Metode studi kasus adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan asuhan keperawatan yang melibatkan 2 subjek klien bayi. Kriteria inklusi meliputi anak sakit kritis usia 1 bulan sampai 1 tahun yang di rawat di PICU selama >48 jam, mendapat enteral nutrisi berupa diit cair susu dengan periode pemberian 6-8x dalam 1 hari, menggunakan ventilator, menggunakan obat inotropik dan kondisi hemodinamik stabil. Intervensi dilakukan 3 kali pada pagi, sore dan malam selama 3 hari. Hasil evaluasi didapatkan penurunan volume residu lambung setelah penerapan metode intermitten feeding selama 1 jam dengan kecepatan 60 ml/jam menggunakan syringe pump. Rata-rata volume residu lambung sebesar 1,25-2,5% dari total kapasitas lambung subjek 1 dan 2. Terjadinya penurunan volume residu lambung dengan pemberian nutrisi bertahap lebih memaksimalkan motilitas lambung sehingga pengosongan lambung lebih cepat. Berdasarkan kesimpulan, hasil studi kasus ini diharapkan menjadi alternatif intervensi untuk pengelolaan pasien defisit nutrisi dalam kondisi kritis.

Influência da topografia antecedente na configuração geomorfológica da orla oceânica de São Luís-MA
Authors: De Lima Leonardo Gonçalves , Silva Samuel Araujo , Parise Claudia Klose
Published: July 2024

Na orla oceânica de São Luís a topografia antecedente controla a morfologia costeira atual, consolidando através do declive regional, a orientação da linha de costa em relação aos ventos, ondas, e por meio de variações locais herdadas de vales e interflúvios que criam reentrâncias e promontórios ou projeções costeiras. As praias estudadas integram um sistema de barreiras costeiras anexadas (mainland beach barriers) onde falésias da Formação Itapecuru são aflorantes na linha de costa, evidenciando um processo erosivo de longo termo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a influência topografia antecedente no comportamento morfodinâmico das praias de São Luís - MA. A partir de imagens de satélite, perfis topográficos, sondagens geológicas e aferições do estoque sedimentar, foi possível identificar como a geomorfologia atual e a topografia antecedente controlam a evolução deste litoral. Nos setores associados a projeções costeiras, espigões naturais foram identificados como elementos chave na modelagem deste litoral, barrando a corrente longitudinal de sedimentos, promovendo pulsos de transporte relacionados com a maré. Por outro lado, nos setores de reentrâncias costeiras, um amplo espaço de acomodação entre a linha de costa atual e as falésias do Grupo Itapecuru possibilita a formação de dunas e igarapés. Esta compartimentação do litoral é o resultado do controle geológico de larga escala condicionando o suprimento sedimentar através dos espigões naturais, erosão de falésias e orientação da linha de costa. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que a topografia antecedente responde como principal controlador no comportamento morfodinâmico das praias de São Luís, tanto pela gênese como pelo controle de feições de larga escala reconhecidas como espigões naturais.
Effects of landscape changes on urban climate change: A case study in the city of São Paulo
Authors: Krizek João Pedro Ocanha , Santos Luciana Cavalcanti Maia
Published: July 2024

Given the vulnerability of Brazilian cities to climate change, it is imperative to monitor urban areas’ susceptibility to temperature fluctuations. In this article, we employ thermal remote sensing and digital image processing techniques to illustrate a substantial rise in surface temperatures across the Northwest Region of São Paulo City over the past three decades. This surge in surface temperature is closely linked to alterations in the urban landscape. Our findings emphasize that one significant environmental consequence of São Paulo City’s rapid urbanization is the pronounced increase in surface temperatures. These results also underscore the significance of assessing landscape features, such as vegetation cover, to inform the prudent, sustainable, and resilient management of urban centers, thereby mitigating climate change effects in metropolitan areas.

A distinção de espécies florestais na arborização urbana é fundamental para mitigação dos efeitos locais do aquecimento global. Neste sentido, foram utilizados os algoritmos de aprendizado de máquina RF, SVM e de aprendizagem profunda ANN. Os elevados valores de acurácia encontrados (F-1 score = 0,989; 0,9434; 0,9346, Acurácia Global = 0,989; 0,9444; 0,9333 e de índice kappa = 0,988; 0,9383; 0,9259) para o algoritmo ANN, SVM e RF, respectivamente. Os erros de classificação para a predição de algumas espécies para os classificadores analisados se dão em geral pela semelhança nos valores de reflectância nas regiões do red edge (700 a 720 nm) relacionados ao conteúdo similar de clorofila e nos comprimentos de onda específicos na região do infravermelho de ondas curtas (1400 e 1420 nm) responsáveis pelas diferenças no conteúdo de água e concentração química na planta e de lignina, respectivamente. Dado a complexidade dos classificadores, em especial o algoritmo de aprendizagem profunda ANN, e também aos de aprendizagem de máquina SVM e RF, recomenda-se a alteração de seus hiperparâmetros para se evitar o sobreajuste dos resultados, ou seja, mesmo que o algoritmo esteja adaptado a uma determinada região se torne ineficaz para prever novos resultados.

O pequi é uma espécie da flora do Cerrado muito conhecida e versátil, desde o uso na culinária regional à aplicação dos seus compostos orgânicos na indústria farmacêutica. Apesar do pequizeiro produzir o fruto (pequi) e isso ser quantificável para o aspecto comercial e financeiro, a relevância desse trabalho está na relação da conservação da espécie para além dos frutos que ela produz. Portanto, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo estimar e comparar o valor econômico do pequizeiro sob duas técnicas (open ended e bidding games) pelo Método de Valoração Contingente (MVC), assim como identificar a disposição dos participantes a pagar (DAP) pela preservação desta espécie. A metodologia consistiu em aplicar um questionário estruturado nos municípios goianos considerando os três maiores Campus da Universidade Estadual de Goiás. Os participantes reconhecem a importância da preservação do pequizeiro e 55,57% deles se mostraram dispostos a pagar pela preservação da árvore, no valor de R$ 32,39. Para a técnica bidding games, 61,23% se dispuseram a pagar R$ 17,71. Para a conservação da espécie, o pequizeiro foi valorado anualmente em R$ 29.611.942,09 pelo valor da DAP open ended e em R$ 14.599.238,50 pela DAP bidding games. Observou-se resultados diferentes para as duas técnicas sendo que a primeira pode ter superestimado o valor encontrado.
Reservas Particulares do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) da Caatinga: Distribuição, Motivações de Criação e Desafios de Gestão
Authors: Dantas Mariana , Sousa Silvino Amanda , Freire Moro Marcelo
Published: July 2024

A Caatinga é um bioma brasileiro que perdeu cerca de 15% da sua cobertura vegetal na última década e 50% da cobertura vegetal no total. Para lidar com essa problemática, uma das estratégias para a proteção da biodiversidade é através da criação de Unidade de Conservação (UC) pelo Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC). A Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural (RPPN) é um tipo de UC que provém da iniciativa privada e por isso representa uma alternativa ao tipo de conservação por instrumentos públicos. São muitos os fatores que influenciam na sua criação e na sua manutenção. Esse trabalho objetiva mapear as RPPNs nas ecorregiões da Caatinga por meio de Sistemas de Informações Geográficas (SIG). E, conjuntamente, investigar as principais motivações e dificuldades dos proprietários para o estabelecimento da RPPN, através de aplicações de questionários por e-mail. Notou-se que dentro do domínio fitogeográfico da Caatinga a maior concentração de RPPN está no estado do Ceará e que as motivações e dificuldades dos proprietários estão relacionados em acordo com o Capital Social (CS) no qual estes estão inseridos. Posto isso, evidencia-se que as interações sociais existentes em uma região ou em um grupo de pessoas são essenciais para a expansão das políticas de conservação ambiental. E a criação das RPPNs representam os resultados destas iniciativas privadas que contribuem significativamente para os Novos Movimentos Sociais (NMS), aumentando e diversificando o número de atores envolvidos e descentralizando o foco dos debates sobre conservação ambiental. Mas, para garantir a perpetuidade das RPPNs, é necessário que todos os agentes envolvidos e responsáveis por elas exerçam sua função, o que não ocorre entre as unidades localizadas na caatinga.

Published: July 2024

A determinação do balanço de denudação através das taxas de erosão química (intemperismo das rochas) e mecânica (remoção dos solos) é essencial para o entendimento da evolução geomorfológica em uma bacia hidrográfica. A bacia hidrográfica do Rio Corumbataí, pertencente a Depressão Periférica Paulista, tem sua geologia composta por rochas sedimentares, principalmente arenitos e argilitos. No intuito de proporcionar novos conhecimentos sobre a atual evolução geomorfológica no estado de São Paulo, o objetivo deste trabalho foi determinar o balanço de denudação na Depressão Periférica Paulista, utilizando dados hidrológicos, hidroquímicos, das rochas e dos solos. Para isso, foram escolhidas duas bacias hidrográficas de pequeno porte com composição litológica predominantemente arenosa e argilosa, ou seja, as bacias dos ribeirões Monjolo Grande e Jacutinga, respectivamente. As taxas de erosão química foram de 16,4 m/Ma para a bacia do ribeirão Monjolo Grande e 6,6 m/Ma para a bacia do Ribeirão Jacutinga. As taxas de erosão mecânica foram de 29,2 m/Ma para a bacia do Ribeirão Monjolo Grande e 11,8 m/Ma para a bacia Ribeirão Jacutinga. A diferença das velocidades de formação dos perfis de alteração e remoção dos solos leva a um desequilíbrio no balanço de denudação, com taxas de denudação de 12,8 m/Ma e 5,2 m/Ma para as bacias dos ribeirões Monjolo Grande e Jacutinga, respectivamente. Tais valores refletem a influência fundamental da litologia, declividade e clima na evolução geomorfológica. Entretanto, as mudanças atuais no uso da terra podem estar aumentando a erosão mecânica, influenciando diretamente o balanço de denudação.

The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by potted plants and bundles of bare‐root plants or cell grown young plants or graftwood/budwood of Prunus spinosa imported from the United Kingdom, taking into account the available scientific information, including the technical information provided by the UK. All pests associated with the commodities were evaluated against specific criteria for their relevance for this opinion. One quarantine pest, Scirtothrips dorsalis, one protected zone quarantine pest Bemisia tabaci (European population) and one non‐regulated pest, the scale Eulecanium excrescens, that fulfilled all relevant criteria were selected for further evaluation. The risk mitigation measures proposed in the technical Dossier from the UK were evaluated, taking into account the possible limiting factors. For these pests, expert judgement is given on the likelihood of pest freedom, taking into consideration the risk mitigation measures acting on the pest, including uncertainties associated with the assessment. The degree of pest freedom varies among the pests evaluated, with E. excrescens being the pest most frequently expected on the imported potted plants. The Expert Knowledge Elicitation indicated with 95% certainty that between 9981 and 10,000 plants per 10,000 would be free from the above‐mentioned scale.

Abstract
The EFSA Panel on Food Contact Materials, Enzymes and Processing Aids (CEP) assessed the safety of the recycling process KGL (EU register number RECYC326), which uses the EREMA Basic technology. The input material is hot caustic washed and dried poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) flakes originating from collected post‐consumer PET containers, including no more than 5% PET from non‐food consumer applications. The flakes are heated in a ■■■■■ reactor under vacuum before being extruded. Having examined the challenge test provided, the Panel concluded that the ■■■■■ decontamination (step 2), for which a challenge test was provided, is critical in determining the decontamination efficiency of the process. The operating parameters to control the performance of this step are temperature, pressure and residence time. It was demonstrated that this recycling process is able to ensure a level of migration of potential unknown contaminants into food below the conservatively modelled migrations of 0.1 and 0.15 μg/kg food, derived from the exposure scenarios for infants and toddlers, when such recycled PET is used at up to 100%. Therefore, the Panel concluded that the recycled PET obtained from this process is not of safety concern when used at up to 100% for the manufacture of materials and articles for contact with all types of foodstuffs, including drinking water, for long‐term storage at room temperature or below, with or without hotfill. Articles made of this recycled PET are not intended to be used in microwave or conventional ovens and such uses are not covered by this evaluation.

Published: July 2024

Research shows that student voice might be an influencing factor in the future transformation and innovation of English language teaching (ELT). The voice has long been believed to be an instrument that could provide ELT practitioners and policymakers with meaningful feedback for the betterment of curricula, materials, and classroom practices. However, there are limited discussions exploring ELT student voice in such particular educational contexts as Islamic colleges. This article aims to contribute to our understanding of that rarely discussed voice with a particular focus on: (a) the students‟ best experience as English education students at an Islamic college; (b) the students‟ perceptions related to dress code and exams; and (3) the students‟ self- assessment of English language skills. This study presents a survey study on 278 students in the English language education department at an Islamic college in Lampung province, Indonesia. The data are drawn from a survey consisting of open-ended questions distributed to the respondents at the end of the semester. Data analysis was conducted qualitatively, ranging from preparing and organizing the data to interpreting the meaning of the data in line with the research questions and theoretical review. The findings reveal that among the students' best experiences were the Islamic atmosphere, affordable tuition fees, religious education, professional lecturers, and scholarship availability. The majority of students agreed with the dress code regulation and had problems with cheating on the final examinations. The findings also show that more than half of the respondents are not sure about their English competency. This study offers important implications for English teacher education in Islamic educational contexts.

Speech errors can happen to everyone in every activity. This is inseparable from the world of education, one of which is microteaching activities. In its implementation in the English Education Study Program at Mathla'ul Anwar University Banten, there were several pauses and slips of the tongue that occurred. This research uses a qualitative approach. This research method is descriptive-qualitative. The data collection methods in this study involved observation, documentation, and checklists. In this study, the researchers conducted an obtrusive study by contacting several subjects and making observations to obtain data according to the formulation of the problem. The visual form of documentation that is the source of data is the microteaching video of sixth semester students of the English Education Study Program at Mathla'ul Anwar University Banten one video for one academic year, start from the 2019/2020 academic year to the 2022/2023 academic year. The results showed that all data, namely Subject A1 to Subject D1, had both types of pauses based on Fromkin's theory, namely silent pauses and filled pauses. While there are only 3 out of 6 types of tongue slips based on Dardjowidjojo theory, there are anticipation, transposition, and perseveration. While there is no slip of the tongue for the types of blend, malapropism, and substitution. In this research, speech errors such as pauses and slips of the tongue were caused by fatigue, a focus on accents, not mastering the material or vocabulary, nervousness, rushed, and the habit of saying the words “eee” and “aaa”. This finding also expects other researchers to further analyze psycholinguistics so as to minimize other speech errors.
