Coffee (Coffea spp.) is one of the leading commodities, which contributed 42.98 percent to the export value of the annual crop agricultural sector in 2013-2020. The productivity of Robusta coffee plants in the Jember region has tended to decrease significantly over the last 5 years. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to determine the distribution of organic C and soil water content as a basis for proper land management. The results showed that the percentage of ideal distribution area for organic C content was 94.94%, and the soil water content was at a value of 6.92-18.68%, where the status of moderate soil water content dominated by 59% of the total land. The results of simple linear regression analysis showed that the organic C variable (X1) had an effect of 29% and soil water content (X2) 10% productivity values. In addition, multiple linear regression analysis showed a strong influence of 63% on the value of productivity. The age factor also has an effect of 57% on the value of productivity.

Evaluation of land suitability was carried out in Kasihan District to determine the land suitability class for food plants. This research was conducted to determine the limiting factors that resulted in a decrease in soil fertility in the local area. Land suitability classes were obtained in S3, and N classes with limiting factors for water availability (wa), erosion hazard (eh), root media (rc), and nutrient retention (nr). The limiting factors that are found in the study area are the erosion hazard, soil pH, and organic C levels. Improvement efforts as an agricultural area development that can be done are making bunds to reduce slopes, giving biochar to increase organic C levels, and reducing soil pH. The limiting factors of soil texture and depth cannot be repaired. Soil texture is a property of the soil that is influenced by nature and is very difficult to change, and the depth of the soil cannot be changed unless other agricultural commodities are selected.

The level of land suitability for lowland rice can be determined by conducting a land suitability evaluation. Information related to land suitability classes can be used as a reference in taking appropriate action in managing rice fields so that production targets can be achieved. The aim of this research is to determine the actual land suitability class for lowland rice crops in Suka Maju Village, Malind District, Merauke Regency. This research used a survey method and soil sampling was carried out on two types of land, namely paddy fields and grasslands. Data collection was carried out by direct observation, laboratory analysis and data analysis. The data analysis technique to determine the subclass of land suitability is to match the growing requirements for lowland rice plants with the quality and characteristics of the land according to the Technical Guidelines for Land Evaluation for Agricultural Commodities, 2011 Revised Edition. The results of the research show that the land suitability class for lowland rice plants is on both types of land. (rice fields and grasslands) are classified as marginal suitability class (S3) with the limiting factors being rooting media (rc), nutrient retention (nr) and available nutrients (na). Basically, the limiting factors in this research can be improved by liming, fertilizing and adding organic materials.

Published: January 2024

With increasing concerns regarding water resource management and environmental sustainability, understanding land use change and the hydrological health of watersheds is critical for informed decision-making. This study aimed to explore the effect of land use changes on hydrological health resilience in the Rejoso watershed, East Java, using remote sensing techniques and geographic information system tools to characterize the various land cover types. Landsat ETM 7+ satellite imagery was used to describe land cover classes. Hydrological health indicators such as water transmission, water availability during the dry season, and peak rainfall buffer events were systematically analyzed in relation to land cover change conditions. Regression statistical methods were used to measure the impact of land cover changes on hydrological parameters. The study results showed that the area of forest land in the Rejoso watershed tended to increase from 2011 to 2021; on the other hand, the area of agroforestry land tended to decrease along with the increase in upland land. In general, the hydrological health of the Rejoso watershed is decreasing from year to year. The increase in forest area, agroforestry, settlements, and ponds provides a positive response to the hydrological health of the watershed. On the other hand, the increase in moorland and rice fields has a negative impact on the hydrological health of the watershed.

Optimizing land use plans is carried out for land capabilities that are useful for conserving land resources so that they can reduce the problem of land degradation. This study aimed to assess the level of land capacity and determine the function of both protected and cultivated areas in Development Area Units (SWP). The method used in the research is quantitative descriptive, consisting of data collection and processing stages. Data collection was carried out through literature studies from several related agencies. Meanwhile, spatial data analysis was carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. The results of the research showed that the analysis of land capacity, especially for determining the function of areas for settlement, reached 3,687.35 ha and the buffer area was around 11,755.27 ha. This indicates that only a small portion of suitable areas can be developed for urban development. This is due to the physical limiting factors of the land where the characteristics of the Ambon City area are dominated by hilly areas.

O estudo debate o Turismo Científico (TC), como estratégia de Desenvolvimento Turístico Baseado em Conhecimento (DTBC) que vincula ciência e turismo, e suas possibilidades na implantação em geoparques. A partir da revisão da literatura e da análise de casos de destinos de TC, discute como comunidades locais participam desses processos e quais repercussões ocorrem sobre a geração e difusão do conhecimento científico em práticas turísticas. Os resultados apontam o TC como estratégia de desenvolvimento territorial sustentável com variações nas formas de interação entre os principais atores envolvidos (moradores, pesquisadores e visitantes). Conforme sua orientação, mais voltada à uma dimensão educacional-cidadã ou turística-econômica, os valores científicos são mobilizados diferentemente, variando também a participação dos atores. Os papéis exercidos pelas comunidades locais no TC são identificados no estudo, destacando-se aqueles com maior potencial para retenção de benefícios da ciência produzida no e sobre o território e incorporação de valores científicos ao patrimônio local via turismo. Por fim, verificam-se convergências entre o TC e o geoturismo nos geoparques, enquanto territórios propícios à aproximação ciência e turismo, colaborando com o desenvolvimento sustentável. Sugere-se avanços nos estudos sobre essas aproximações, bem como a construção de referenciais específicos para o envolvimento e a participação das comunidades no desenvolvimento do TC nos geoparques.

Published: January 2024

Em Caçapava do Sul/RS, município cujos limites correspondem aos do Caçapava Geoparque Mundial da UNESCO, encontra-se o geossítio Guaritas, planalto fortemente dissecado desenvolvido sobre a Formação Guaritas, do início do Paleozoico. Essa formação rochosa é composta por arenitos com estratos cruzados, arenitos com seixos, conglomerados e, de forma subordinada, siltitos. Em seus patamares e topos de morros planos, bem como ao longo de alguns cursos de água, ocorrem feições de intemperismo e erosão do tipo “bacias rochosas” (rock basins). Para compreender sua evolução, utilizou-se de revisões bibliográficas, saídas de campo, captação de imagens por drones, execução de modelos 3D e testagem com martelo de Schmidt. Uma parcela dessas feições reúne escavações rasas, irregulares, em geral elípticas e alongadas (lembrando “travessas’’ ou “frigideiras”), que são vinculadas ao intemperismo químico (weathering pans, gnammas), onde a água da chuva acumulada age quimicamente nos arenitos/conglomerados. O segundo grupo, de formas regulares, cilíndricas e mais profundas, lembrando verdadeiras “panelas” (pits, potholes), é escavado nas rochas pelo intemperismo físico ou mecânico, normalmente nos trechos iniciais de cursos d’água: a água corrente e turbilhonada desses arroios, em conjunto com os clastos dos arenitos conglomeráticos (seixos, blocos), provoca atrito na rocha, levando a seu aprofundamento. Além do evidente valor científico e educativo, o conhecimento sobre essas escavações nos lajeados de rocha pode incrementar o conteúdo turístico de trilhas, além de contribuir com a conservação de espécies da fauna e flora nativas.

Published: January 2024

The parent quantitative research deals with teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. The research aims to investigate teachers’ teaching self-efficacy in primary education in Greece. Specifically, an attempt is made to investigate how primary school teachers evaluate their level of self-efficacy regarding teaching tasks, managing disciplinary incidents in the classroom, and motivating students to be actively involved in the classroom and learning tasks, how the self-efficacy of primary education teachers from their educational experience and studies and what are the possible obstacles to the self-efficacy of these teachers. A sample of primary education teachers was recruited for this purpose. The research shows that the overall self-efficacy perception of teachers is exceptionally high with teachers considering themselves to be more effective in managing the classroom and implementing teaching strategies/educational approaches. Also, the self-efficacy of primary school teachers seems to be influenced by their educational experience and studies. Instead, it seems that teachers’ overall self-efficacy perception is related to factors such as the stress and pressure they experience, the degree of effectiveness they generally feel as individuals, and their goals.

The cement chemically react ingredient and water to form a matrix hard which the materials bind together into durable property stone that might use for many purpose. Use of chalk powder is also eco-friendly as the waste limestone or chalk material from industries as well as from schools and colleges, are effectively being used to form quality building materials. Basalt fiber is another solid strengthening material, which has wonderful mechanical properties and furthermore an eco-accommodating assembling process. Significantly number of examination has been directed on basalt fiber strengthened cement and has generally watched out for its mechanical properties. On the basis of previous researches which has been done we make a comparison of strength properties of concrete made with replacement and conventional concrete. Cement is replaced by Chalk, eggshell powder with addition of basalt fiber. Different specimens of the material are tested for strength. The result shows that concrete workability is fine and within limits after replacing cement with Chlak,eggshell powder with adding basalt fibers. However, workability gets reduced at higher replacement of materials. The strength parameters such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength also increase and show an optimum value at 8&8% cement replacement and 1.8% Addition of basalt fibers respectively. Test results are satisfactory up to 8&8% and 1.8% replacement. After this, there is a decrease in the strength of concrete. So, after this research work, we are able to find out that the replacement can be done to this extent but there may be chances of higher percentage of replacement by doing further investigations.

La población estandarizada de la Organización Mundial de la Salud y la de Colombia: un apunte metodológico
Authors: Rosselli Diego
Published: January 2024

A mediados del siglo XIX los salubristas británicos vieron la dificultad de hacer comparaciones entre la mortalidad de las diferentes regiones de Inglaterra y Gales. Algunos lugares, como el sur de la isla, concentraban a muchos pensionados que buscaban un clima más agradable para su retiro. Su población envejecida tenía, por razones obvias, una elevada tasa de mortalidad en comparación con los centros urbanos como Londres, Manchester o Liverpool, o con las zonas agrícolas del norte, que contaban con una población mucho más joven.

Por esos días, en 1842, el reformista inglés Edwin Chadwick (1800-1890), alarmado por la situación de la clase trabajadora empobrecida en medio de la Revolución Industrial en plena época victoriana de Imperio británico, había publicado The Sanitary Condition of the Labouring Population, y había propuesto un primer estándar que permitiera algún ajuste al comparar poblaciones; su propuesta fue tomar la media de la edad al morir. Sin embargo, fue al actuario escocés Francis Neison a quien se le ocurrió lo que sería reconocido como el “método directo” para hacer comparaciones, no solo de la mortalidad sino luego de la incidencia o la prevalencia de numerosas enfermedades entre distintos lugares geográficos, o entre diferentes momentos históricos de un mismo lugar.

Published: January 2024

Consumers around the world want fruits with high quality, without chemical preservatives, and with an extended shelf life. Edible films and coating received a considerable amount of attention in recent years because they are useful and beneficial over synthetic packaging. Prolonging of shelf life of food is an important goal to be attained. Many storage techniques have been adapted to extend the marketing distance and holding periods for commodities after harvest. Edible coatings are thin layers of edible material applied to the product surface to provide a barrier to moisture, oxygen, and solute movement for food. The purpose of this study was to produce bio-synthesized ZnO Nano-particles from spinach. The coating solution is prepared by mixing Nano-particles with chitosan-acetic acid solution and evaluates the shelf-life after treatment as a coating. The study showed that coated fruit maintained its quality up to 28 days of the study period. Thus, it can be concluded that ZnO Nano-particles can be used as a coating for increasing shelf-life.

Discussing a Concept for an Online Learning Platform with Rural Sixth-Grade Students in Mind: Evidence-Based Guidelines for Designers, Teachers, and Policy Change
Authors: Rojas-Alfaro Roberto , Montenegro Sánchez Ana Marcela
Published: January 2024

While considerable research recognizes the need to promote linguistic and sociocultural learning among youth English language learners (ELLs) in rural communities, less research has explored the advantages of human-centered design (HCD) in achieving this goal. This study branches from a larger design research project to develop an online learning platform (FUNREAD), co-designed with English language teachers (ELTs), to promote linguistic and sociocultural learning among sixth grade ELLs in rural communities in Costa Rica. This study uses an HCD lens to analyze group interview data from two key national-level English curriculum advisers’ insights and suggestions for improving language learning, equity, and representation for rural ELLs in Costa Rica. Key findings include (1) the need to adapt teaching materials and available technologies to demographic characteristics of rural ELLs, (2) especially when rurality plays a major role in how teaching, materials development, and curricular decisions are made. The study concludes that social justice education, with an emphasis on equity, representation, and translanguaging to support English language acquisition, is crucial to the development of effective teaching materials for rural ELLs in Costa Rica. Evidence-based guidelines derived from HCD are provided to assist in the development process.
“Training – Made in Germany” – Hecho en Costa Rica. La transferencia del aprendizaje dual desde la perspectiva de los actores estatales y paraestatales de Costa Rica
Authors: Schmees Johannes Karl , Lascarez Smith Daniel
Published: January 2024

Este artículo analiza las discusiones sobre el modelo alemán de aprendizaje dual durante el diálogo social tripartito celebrado en Costa Rica entre el 27 de febrero y el 1 de septiembre de 2017. Este espacio de diálogo, moderado por la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, contó con la participación de representantes de empresas, sindicatos y gobierno. El análisis se centra en las representaciones sociales y referentes intersubjetivos específicamente desarrollados por actores estatales y paraestatales sobre las características y potencialidades del modelo dual de aprendizaje alemán para resolver ciertos problemas sociales en Costa Rica. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con representantes estatales que participaron en el diálogo, así como con representantes paraestatales que estuvieron involucrados en las discusiones sobre el tema. Como resultado, uno de los principales hallazgos es que dentro de la dinámica de cooperación política, el modelo alemán de aprendizaje dual es tratado como un producto de "exportación/importación" capaz de resolver problemas como el desempleo juvenil y la pobreza entre los jóvenes. La referencia al modelo alemán de buenas prácticas y a Alemania como tal se utiliza para limitar la participación adecuada de los actores y la comprensión de los problemas sociales.

1. What happens at the borders where two colours meet? Purposefully exposing by meticulously smudging the edges of painted surfaces shows that there is a small area at the margins that remains undecided.
2. How do we formalise external sensory information? Experimenting with painterly techniques, such as pouring paint directly onto paper and moving the paper around to apply liquid paint, for the larger painting, I methodically applied processes of rationalisation and abstraction for painting a tree branch from life.

The research for the painting and the final work were produced during a painting workshop at the Slade School of Fine Art. The digital video was recorded at one of the rehearsals for a dance performance by choreographer J. Y. Corti at the London Contemporary Dance School.

The title "Enlightenment Panel" comes from Peter Sloterdijk's 'Critique of Cynical Reason', published in 1983, which critically discusses philosophical and popular cynicism.

The leaf extract was subjected to different chromatographic techniques which include thin layer and column chromatograph for separation and purification, Antimicrobial screening using disc diffusion method revealed that the column eluates were active against some tested microorganism with the following zone of inhibition, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7- 15 mm), Eschericia coli, (3-18 mm), Shigella species (12-17 mm) Staphylococcus aureus (1-8 mm), Aspergillus nomius (2-4 mm) and Aspergillus flavus (4 mm). The result portrayed that the eluates were highly bactericidal and fungicidal and of broad spectrum activities. The antimicrobial activities were compared with known standard antibiotic like ciprofloxacin and ketoconazole and was discovered that the eluates were potent and effective in both fungi and bacteria close to the antibiotics. The results scientifically validate the efficacy of the plant as acclaimed ethonomedically.

Analysis of Calculation Model for Primary Coolant Fission Products
Authors:   Lviv Polytechnic National University, Lys Stepan
Published: January 2024

The sources of radioactive contamination of the primary coolant by fission products when the unit is operating at the rated power are as follows: defect fuel elements with gas leakiness and substantial damages, surface contamination of the outer surfaces of fuel claddings, superficial contamination of structural materials of fuel assemblies. Initially in the reactor operation (if there are no manufacturing defects in fuel elements), the contamination of the coolant by fission products is determined by the release into the reactor coolant circuit of fission fragments of Uranium-235 (due to their kinetic energy) that is present on the outer surfaces of fuel elements as contamination in their manufacturing. During normal operation of the reactor, the integrity of cladding may fail due to various processes of corrosion fatigue type. These processes result in, first of all, micro-fissures and then in large defects in the claddings, which is accompanied by an increase in the release of fission products from fuel elements into the primary coolant.

Analysis of the controlled object, as well as methods and models applied for controlling the heat supply process in a city and urban districts has been carried out. Simulation models of the controlled object functioning in the presence of alternative energy flows with different costs have been developed. The criteria and objective function for optimizing the city’s heat supply process have been synthesized and substantiated. The task of optimizing the process of heat supply in urban districts has been solved based on the transition from the structural optimization of the controlled object to managing the price structure for the energy flows offered to the consumer. The computer-integrated control systems have been implemented for the proposed facilities and their effectiveness has been defined.

This review unravels the  novel approaches, innovations and applications of immunology in the diagnosis of infections in a clinical microbiology laboratory.  Many assays or tests in immunology are used in the diagnosis of infections.  The availability of monoclonal antibodies has brought rapid progress to this area and they are used  , for example , to identify specific microorganisms in culture or in tissues and fluids from infected patients.
 Examples of common diagnostic applications of antibody- antigen reactions discussed here includes agglutination tests, complement tests, complement fixation tests, ELISA, cytotoxic tests, radioimmunoassay tests, haemagglutination inhibition tests, hypersensitivity tests, phagocytic cell activity test, migration inhibition test, lymphocyte transformation test , lymphocyte fixation test , skin tests, delayed hypersensitivity tests and many others.
The development of monoclonal antibody technology and the subsequent availability of unlimited quantities of pure antibody has improved the selectivity of these assays. The development of simple and highly sensitive methods for detection of nucleic acids is being applied to diagnosis of infection using nucleic acid hybridization and this provides a valuable additional aid to immunoassays in the clinical microbiology diagnostic laboratory.

The European population of Cygnus columbianus bewickii has a declining trend in number of individuals. Anthropogenic disturbance could be one of the reasons for this decline. Disturbance influences animal behaviour, including the manifestation of behavioural lateralisation. Therefore, investigating the impact of anthropogenic disturbance on behavioural lateralisation is essential for biodiversity conservation. Behavioural lateralisation manifests itself in a preference to use one of two paired organs (limbs or sensory organs) and a preference to avoid obstacles from a certain side. Earlier studies of behavioural lateralisation did not consider the locomotion type as an independent variable factor in the analysis, although it could affect the manifestation of behavioural lateralisation. We studied the influence of anthropogenic disturbance on behavioural lateralisation of swans, depending on the type of locomotion (swimming or flying). We have analysed 492 photos from aerial counts of two swan species (Cygnus columbianus bewickii, C. cygnus) in Yamal Peninsula and Gydan Peninsula. The photos were taken from a plane, while the birds were escaping from it as a source of anthropogenic disturbance. Pairs without and with chicks alone or in flocks were encountered swimming or flying. We found that swimming swans had a strong right-sided bias and right-eye bias for avoidance and observing the source of anthropogenic disturbance, and flying swans had a left bias. Swimming C. c. bewickii and C. cygnus exhibited similar behavioural lateralisation. These results were the same for following and leading birds. The presence of chicks did not change the direction of behavioural lateralisation but strengthened it for the following partners. The differences in behavioural lateralisation could be caused by the fact that swans in flight experience greater fear of a present aircraft than when they are on water. We conclude that the locomotion types influence behavioural lateralisation in response to anthropogenic disturbance. We recommend paying attention to accompanying factors when comparing the results of lateralisation studies. As the left side bias of flying birds in our study indicates that flying birds are more stressed than swimming ones, we recommend not forcing birds to fly during observations to reduce their stress.
Pluricentrismo, políticas académicas y los discursos sobre la lengua en la cultura lingüística hispánica
Authors: Sita Farias Virginia
Published: January 2024

En el presente artículo se plantean tres objetivos. En primer lugar, se examinan los problemas concernientes al concepto de pluricentrismo, así como las dificultades que depara la definición del español como lengua pluricéntrica. En segundo lugar, se discute la relación entre unidad y pluricentrismo en la llamada política lingüística panhispánica, teniendo en consideración los discursos académicos acerca de la estandarización. En tercero y último lugar, se analiza cómo los conceptos de unidad y panhispanismo forjados en el ámbito académico se reflejan en la configuración de la norma panhispánica y en su presentación y tratamiento a cargo de la RAE.
