Authors: Abdelhedi Mohamed , Jabbar Rateb , Abbes Chedly
Published: October 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the construction sector, which is highly sensitive to economic cycles. In order to boost value and efficiency in this sector, the use of innovative exploration technologies such as ultrasonic and Artificial Intelligence techniques in building material research is becoming increasingly crucial. In this study, we developed two models for predicting the Los Angeles (LA) and Micro Deval (MDE) coefficients, the two important geo-technical tests used to determine the quality of carbonate rock aggregates. These coefficients describe the resistance of aggregates to fragmentation and abrasion. The ultrasound velocity, porosity, and density of the rocks were determined and used as inputs to develop prediction models using multiple regressions and an artificial neural network. These models may be used to assess the quality of rock aggregates at the exploration stage without the need for tedious laboratory analysis.

Published: October 2023

The aim of this research was to study the effect of fine dune sand on the mechanical performance of Eco-Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC). For that, the fine dune sand of the Western erg (Taghit -Algeria) was being like mineral addition to formulate the SCC, and a comparison was carried out on their effect on the properties of SCC. Our study also showed that the substitution of fine dune sand (DS) by cement in the composition of the SCC, contributes to a slight variation of workability in the fresh state parameters still remaining in the field of SCC required by the AFGC recommendations. The experimental results show that the compressive strengths and modulus of elasticity of SCC improved by substituting of 20% cement by DS.

This paper presents the test results of a study on the bond performance of near-surface mounted (NSM) basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars to concrete. Twelve C-shape concrete specimens were tested under direct pull-out loading configuration. Test parameters included the bar surface configuration (deformed and sand coated), the types of epoxy adhesive (NSM Gel and Sikadur-30), and the bonded length (6, 12, and 24 times its diameter). The influence of various parameters on the overall bond performance of NSM-BFRP bars is analyzed and discussed. The obtained results confirmed the impact of the investigated parameters on the bond behavior of the tested specimens. It was found that the bond strength and failure mode varied considerably with the bar surface configuration and bonded length. Higher bond strength was obtained when the NSM Gel epoxy with high strength properties. The results also revealed that both the deformed and sand coated bars showed almost similar bond strengths. Moreover, the pull-out loads increased with the increase of the bonded length of the NSM bars.

Published: October 2023

[Purpose] This study investigates factors affecting the voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures in Korea. For this purpose, we select firms listed on the KOSPI 200 from 2011 to 2021, excluding financial firms.
[Methodology] We consider whether a firm manages environmental performance, international influences, and internal corporate governance as determinants influencing voluntary environmental expenditure disclosure and conduct logistic regression analyses.
[Findings] First, firms that set a target level for pollutant emissions and firms that are assigned good ratings regarding environmental performance from KCGS are more likely to disclose environmental expenditures voluntarily. Second, strong international influences, proxied by a high export ratio and foreign ownership, are positively associated with the voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures. Third, good internal governance, proxied by good governance ratings assigned by KCGS and the ratio of outside directors to total directors, is positively associated with the likelihood of firms’ voluntarily disclosing environmental expenditures. Lastly, we find that voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures has a positive effect on firm value, while the amount of environmental expenditures itself shows statistically insignificant effects on firm value.
[Implications] This study contributes to the literature by investigating factors that determine voluntary disclosure of environmental issues in Korea. Moreover, by showing the positive value implications of such disclosures, we encourage managers to disclose environmental issues voluntarily.

Seaweed is an export product of aquaculture commodities that have high economic value. One of the areas with high seaweed production in Indonesia is Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The challenges faced in seaweed farming in South Sulawesi are productivity and price fluctuations. This indicates that there is a risk in cultivated seaweed farming. This study aimed to analyze production risk factors, price risk levels, and risk management for seaweed farming in Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province. This study uses primary data derived from 100 respondents who were selected randomly. Analysis of production risk factors using the Just and Pope models with the Cobb-Douglas production function and the level of price risk is carried out by measuring the coefficient of variation and the price floor. Meanwhile, risk management consists of preventive, mitigation, and risk-coping strategies. The results showed that the production risk factors that had a significant effect was labor and harvesting age and had the characteristic of inducing risk factors. The price risk farmers face in Takalar Regency is indicated by the coefficient variation value of 0,279, so the risk level faced is 27,9 percent per kg. Risk management is a preventive strategy by maximizing farming activities, and the quality of the inputs used before risks occur in production and prices.

Landak Regency has the potential to develop rice with a production surplus of 52,296 tonnes. This increase in production must be balanced with a good marketing system so that farmers and marketing agencies can receive more favorable prices. The purpose of this study is to analyze the channel, function and operational efficiency of rice marketing (marketing margin, farmer's share, and profit to cost ratio) in Landak District. This study involved 45 respondent farmers as a sample which was obtained through a purposive sampling method in which the respondent farmers were selected with consideration of certain characteristics according to the research objectives. Marketing agency respondents were obtained using the snowball method based on information flow from farmers and obtained 13 marketing agency respondents. Qualitative data is used to analyze marketing channels and agencies. Quantitative data is used to analyze marketing margins, farmer's share and profit to cost ratio. The results showed that there were 5 marketing channels and 4 marketing agencies involved. The marketing channel is distinguished from the products sold by farmers, namely channels 1, 2 and 3, farmers sell unhusked rice, while channels 4 and 5 sell rice. Channel 1 consists of farmer-gatherer-factory-retailer-end consumer, channel 2 consists of farmer-collector-mill-retailer-end consumer, channel 3 consists of farmer-mill-retailer-end consumer, channel 4 consists of farmer-retailer -end consumers and channel 5 farmers sell rice directly to end consumers. The results of the operational efficiency analysis show that a relatively efficient marketing channel is channel 1 based on the profit to cost ratio having a value of >1 (profitable). Increasing the institutional role of farmers (poktan and gapoktan) such as collective transactions can help farmers receive more profitable prices..

Published: October 2023

This study designed robot programming classes toward mathematical concepts and curriculum to introduce robotics, a representative technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, into the mathematics classroom, and analyzed the changes in students’ van Hiele levels. This study presented the robot activity levels (RLs) per the van Hiele levels of geometric thinking (VLs), and applied each RL to the class’s design, including tasks. The students’ learning process and class results were analyzed to ascertain whether their VL increased. The class was conducted with gifted middle school students, and utilized LEGO Mindstorms EV3, an extensively used educational robot. While performing RL based tasks, students sequentially completed tasks RL1~RL4. This study focused on the task performance process of VL3 students to investigate how they transition to a RL beyond their VL. As students performed the five tasks designed to help them transition from VL3 to VL4, reflecting the rise in the van Hiele levels of geometric thinking, they gradually progressed through the active inquiry and finally reached VL4 by completing RL4 tasks.

Ragi forms one of the most important staple food crops in India and yet enough effort has not been made to assess precisely its response to manures and fertilizers. The importance of nitrogen in increasing cereal yields is widely accepted (Lipman, 1932; Karunakar, 1951 and Church, 1956). However, contradictions in opinions exist on the effect of nitrogen in increasing protein content in cereals. Ohlrogge (1949) and other workers opined that large increase in yield in relation to nitrogen was not accompanied by any change or decrease in protein, on the other hand, reverse was also true (Bisset and Andrews, 1954; Huppert and Buchner, 1957 and Miller, 1958). But instances at which higher doses of nitrogen decreasing protein content were also met with (Patterson, 1932). The indirect influence of nitrogen also found by its enhancing effect on the translocation of P from vegetative parts to grains (Bennet, 1939). Besides nitrogen, the effect and usefulness of P and K for satisfactory growth of Ragi crop have been reported by Govindarajan and Venkata Rao (1952) Thus a judicial combination of N, P and K was visualised and recommended for Ragi crop (Mariakulandai, 1960; Venkataramana and Krishna Rao, 1961 and Sanyasi Raju, 1952).

Published: October 2023

Artemisinin and its derivatives are potent antimalarials that have become essential components of Artemisinin Based Combination Therapies (ACTs) for malaria treatment. Production of artemisinin is less compared to its world demand and access to ACTs is still limited in worst hit countries. Secondary metabolite production in plants depends on a number of factors including agro ecology. This work sought to evaluate the growth characteristics and artemisinin content of Artemisia annua grown in four agro ecological zones of Cameroon. Experimental fields comprising of A annua were set up in the different agro-ecological zones, for growth and artemisinin assessments. Artemisinin detection and quantification was compared in leaves/flowers and stems of Artemisia annua from these agro-ecological zones, using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography. Soil provenance and other agro ecological factors significantly affected the growth parameters of A. annua as there were significant differences (p<0.05) in plant height, leaf area, number of branches, stem girth and number of leaves across the different study areas. There was significant variation (P<0.05) in the content of artemisinin from the plant in the different agro ecological zones. The mean levels of artemisinin in the samples was 0.34-0.80% in stem samples, and 0.18-0.61% for leaves/flowers. The highest artemisinin yield in leaf/flowers samples (0.61%) was recorded in samples from Bamenda, while that of stem samples (0.80%) was recorded in samples from Ngaoundere. The study confirms the effect of agro ecological factors on artemisinin content of A. annua in Cameroon and reveal that A. annua grown in most regions of the country contain commercially viable levels of artemisinin which can further be exploited for pharmaceutical purposes.

Allergic/atopic patients do not develop immune tolerance to certain substances in the environment which are harmless to non-allergic individuals. These patients are hypersensitive to these substances-allergens. Specific Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT), also known as Allergy Shots or Desensitization, is a therapeutic approach used to treat allergic conditions, such as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and insect sting allergies. The primary goal of AIT is to reduce the allergic response to specific allergens by gradually exposing the patient to increasing doses of the allergen over time. This exposure helps the immune system build tolerance to the allergen, leading to a decrease in allergic symptoms and a long-term improvement in clinical outcomes. Research has confirmed the long-term clinical efficacy of AIT, and its ability to induce antigen-specific tolerance. In this review, we aim to discuss the immunological mechanisms involved in different types of AITs, their efficacy and safety.
The differences in the toxicity of jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus lam.) seed extract and cocoa fruit (Theobroma cacao l.) extract on mortality of Culex spp. mosquito larvae: Elephant foot disease vector
Authors: Dwi Wahyuni
Published: October 2023

Culex spp. mosquitoes are the main vectors of filariasis. According to the East Java Provincial Health Office on 2018, the total number of filariasis (elephantiasis) cases in East Java Province was 134 cases distributed across 38 districts/cities. So far, the control of Culex mosquitoes has been carried out using synthetic insecticides. The use of synthetic insecticides is considered effective, practical, potent, and economically advantageous. However, continuous and repeated use of synthetic insecticides can lead to environmental pollution, the death of various types of living creatures, and resistance. Synthetic insecticides are hazardous to human and domestic animal health, as well as having an impact on other non-target organisms. An alternative that can be pursued is the use of natural insecticides derived from plants. Jackfruit seeds contain secondary metabolites such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, and saponins. Meanwhile, cocoa fruit husks contain tannins, saponins, alkaloids, and flavonoids. The utilization of compounds present in the extracts of jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) and cocoa fruit husks can be used to control the population of Culex spp. mosquitoes, the main vectors of filariasis. The methods employed in this research include extraction, preparation of serial concentrations, colonization of test larvae, preliminary testing, and final testing. The research results reveal the toxicity or LC50 value of jackfruit seed extract (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) towards Culex spp. mosquito larvae are 430.303 ppm, while the toxicity (LC50) value of cocoa fruit husk extract (Theobroma cacao L.) is 306.742 ppm. The conclusion drawn from this research is that the cocoa fruit husk extract (Theobroma cacao L.) is more toxic compared to the jackfruit seed extract (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) towards Culex spp. mosquito larvae.

Ziel dieses Textes ist es, Pichon-Rivières Vorstellungen über die Aufgabe des Umgangs mit unbewussten Dimensionen in Gruppen außerhalb des Beratungsraums vorzustellen. Der Text ist als theoretische und praktische Reflexion aufgebaut. Er beginnt mit einer allgemeinen Darstellung von Pichon-Rivière, seinem sozialen Kontext in Argentinien und seinem Werk. Es wird hervorgehoben, wie einflussreich seine Arbeit insbesondere bei der Betreuung von gefährdeten Gemeinschaften in Argentinien und Brasilien war. Anschließend werden die Grundlagen der Aufgabenstellung vorgestellt und es wird erörtert, in welchem Bezug sie zur freien Assoziation in der Psychoanalyse stehen. Anhand von kurzen Beispielen wird veranschaulicht, wie der Vorschlag einer expliziten Aufgabe für die Gruppe (»operative group«) während der anfänglichen Gruppenunterweisung unbewusste Prozesse auslöst, die zu Hindernissen für die Verfolgung dieser Aufgabe selbst werden können. Castanho geht auf zwei wesentliche Dimensionen des Phänomens »Aufgabe der Gruppe« ein: 1) Die Auswirkungen der Gruppenaufgabe auf Identifikationsprozesse sowie auf Übertragungen in der Gruppe sowie 2) den Schutz, den die Zentrierung auf eine Aufgabe als narzisstische Umhüllung den Teilnehmern bietet. Zum Schluss werden die Verbindungen aufgezeigt zwischen dem, was Pichon-Rivière »den Moment einer Aufgabe« in Gruppen nennt, und dem, was Winnicott den »potenziellen Raum« nennt. Abschließend wird gezeigt, wie relevant die erörterten Elemente für den Umgang mit den unbewussten Dimensionen in Gruppen außerhalb des Beratungsraums und im Kontext einer sich tiefgreifend verändernden Welt sind.

Werner Beck erzählt von seiner gruppenanalytischen Ausbildung bei S. H. Foulkes in Altaussee und London, von seinen persönlichen Erfahrungen mit Foulkes und dessen Verständnis von Gruppenleitung. Werner Beck berichtet anschaulich und persönlich, wie Foulkes zu seinem gruppenanalytischen Vorbild wurde, wie Foulkes nach seiner Flucht aus Nazi-Deutschland erstmalig im deutschsprachigen Raum in den 1970er Jahren Seminare in englischer Sprache hielt und erzählt von dem Verhältnis zwischen Foulkes und Bion.
Die Entwicklung von der Affektauf die Denken-Stufe

Von den sieben Arbeitsmodulen der Mentalisierungsfördernden Verhaltenstherapie MVT sind die letzten beiden Module – Modul sechs und sieben – Entwicklungsmodule. Zuvor wurde mit dem Modul »Emotion Tracking« ein Zugang zum emotionalen Erleben hergestellt. Das Modul sechs, »Affektregulierung und Selbstwirksamkeit«, beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung von der Affekt-Stufe auf die Denken-Stufe, nachdem zuvor die Körper-Stufe gefördert wurde. Entwicklung wird als ein dynamischer Prozess aufgefasst in Bezug auf spezifische Beziehungskontexte und Situationskontexte. Auf eine ausführliche Entwicklungsdiagnostik folgt die Behandlung von Impuls-Blockaden und Vermeidungsverhalten. Impulsives Handeln wird durch gezielte Übungen automatisiert. Dazu gehört die Behebung der Defizite der Affekt-Stufe und das Schaffen eines Anreizes für die Errungenschaften der nächsten Denken-Stufe. Prinzipiell werden zuerst Stärken aufgebaut und Defizite abgebaut, erst danach folgt der Schritt zur nächsthöheren Stufe. Dies geschieht mithilfe spezifischer Diagnoseund Arbeitsmethoden. Die notwendige Steuerungsfähigkeit wird gefördert durch gezielte Einübung eines Ursache-Wirkungs-Verständnisses, bis eine Theorie des Mentalen bzw. eine Theory of Mind (ToM) etabliert ist. Erlebnisorientierte und bildhaft-szenische Erfahrungen werden hierzu eingesetzt unter Zuhilfenahme von körperlichen Empfindungen, um neues Verhalten zu erlauben, vitale Gefühle wieder zulassen zu können und wehrhaft sein zu können für die eigenen Bedürfnisse. Von hier aus kann der Schritt zum siebten Modul »Perspektivenwechsel und Empathie« erfolgen.

The research aims to identify the potential of lexical and syntactic means for expressing the category of temporality in the Chuvash language. The scientific novelty of the research lies in carrying out a detailed analysis of both traditional and atypical cases of expressing temporal meanings in context, as no specific research on this topic has been conducted in Chuvash studies before. The paper is the first to establish that many phraseologised constructions, proverbs and sayings, as well as certain proper names serve as expressions of temporal relations and transmit ethnocultural information, as their prevailing connotative meaning reflects the native speakers’ particular worldview and view of specific life situations. The research findings demonstrate that the temporal conceptualisation in the Chuvash language has its own national characteristics. The temporal indicator is an integral characteristic of our existence and, being interpreted through the lens of human consciousness (of the author, character, reader), finds its expression in the text.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in Indonesia is increasing. A significant risk factor for developing DM is central obesity. Lifestyles, including diet and physical activity, strongly influence the high prevalence of DM and obesity. The study aimed to analyze the association between unhealthy food consumption and physical activity among adults with central obesity in Indonesia. This study used secondary data from Riskesdas 2018 with a cross-sectional design. The subjects in this study were adults (≥ 19 years old) with central obesity. A total of 7493 subjects were included in the analysis. Food intake data were taken using a validated FFQ, and physical activity using the GPAQ questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Frequent consumption of sweet foods (p=0,001, OR=1,235), sweetened beverages (p=0,042, OR=1,157), carbonated drinks (p=0,001, OR=1,324), instant noodles (p<0,001, OR=1,845), salty foods (p<0,001, OR=1,669), seasoning (p<0,001, OR=1,514), processed meats  (p=0,009, OR=1,199), fatty foods (p<0,001, OR=1,687), and grilled foods (p<0,001, OR=1,243) were positively associated with the incidence of DM among adults with central obesity after adjusted with confounding variables. Low physical activity  increased the incidence of DM among adults with central obesity in the unadjusted model (p=1,161, OR=1,161). In conclusion, there is a relationship between the consumption of unhealthy foods and physical activity with the incidence of DM in Indonesian adults with central obesity.

The enormous increase in gadgets has resulted in a data rate shortage insufficient to satisfy the user's needs. The multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technique is substantially deployed in the 5G wireless communication system to increase channel capacity and provide sufficient throughput. However, MIMO antennas are associated with mutual coupling, especially between closely spaced antenna elements, resulting in a low MIMO performance. Therefore, effective isolation techniques are essential to reduce the mutual coupling between the adjacent MIMO antenna elements. A hybrid decoupling technique of self-isolation and an orthogonal mode approach has been proposed to provide significant isolation for high MIMO order 5G mobile applications. A compact self-isolated 10 × 10 MIMO antenna system has been proposed for 5G mobile phone applications operating at the 3.5 GHz frequency band. The antennas act as radiating and isolating elements simultaneously, providing significant isolation. Furthermore, the self-isolated 10-MIMO antenna elements are printed on double side edges of FR-4 small substrates orthogonal to the system substrates, forming an orthogonal mode that enhances the self-decoupling approach. The s-parameters results indicate significant isolation of less than -19 dB between the adjacent 10-MIMO antenna elements. Likewise, the evaluation results of the MIMO performance metrics such as envelope correlation coefficient (ECC), diversity gain (DG), total active reflection coefficient (TARC), and channel capacity Loss (CCL), are less than 0.006, 9.97 dB, -10 dB, and 0.08 bits/s/Hz respectively. The isolation result and the evaluated MIMO performance metrics demonstrate that the proposed 10-MIMO antenna system is sufficient for 5G mobile applications.
