Published: April 2024

The West Sumatra Provincial Government began to improve the development of the plantation sector of mangosteen, because the mangosteen plant became a superior commodity in the Province of West Sumatra. In this regard, it is important to know the climate suitability of the mangosteen plant and its projections, which will be used to take development planning steps in the appropriate area and support the increase in exports of mangosteen plants in West Sumatra Province to support national resilience in the face of climate change. The data used were monthly rainfall observation data and monthly air temperature for the period 2006-2015 at 46 rain posts in West Sumatra Province. The Minangkabau Meteorological Station is used as a reference station for monthly air temperatures estimation in 45 other rain posts which were calculated using the Braak method. Besides, land physical data such as soil texture and slope were used in each district in West Sumatra Province. Projected data used the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) 4.5 scenario model for monthly air temperature and monthly rainfall from the Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate (MIROC5) model with resolutions up to 20 x 20 km in the period 2006-2040. The projection data was divided into the baseline period for 2006-2015 and the projection period of 2031-2040. The climate suitability period was made for the present period 2006-2015 and the future projections for the period 2031- 2040. The results showed that the area of West Sumatra Province for the Very Appropriate category (S1) was decreasing in the projection period of 2031-2040 compared to the 2006-2015 baseline period. This can be seen in the projection period of the Very Appropriate category (S1), the area was reduced to 2,584,234 ha (72%) while in the baseline period the Very Corresponding category (S1) reached 2,811,321 ha (78%).

Published: April 2024

The advancement of information technology and cultural changes in information sharing have had a significant impact on how personal data is managed and accessed. The aim of this research is to determine legal protection for neighborhood administration association in the implementation of personal data collection duties. The method used by the researcher is a qualitative method with normative judicial analysis using several research questions formulated by the researcher. The Neighborhood Association (RT) requires sufficient knowledge to carry out its duties as a personal data processor as stated in the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law. In carrying out their duties as processors, Neighborhood Association (RT) administrators must pay attention to the obligations contained in the law. However, considering the amount of data that is still being leaked, as a personal data processor, they cannot solve all the problems alone and bear the consequences as stated in the Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law. There needs to be legal certainty that also helps carry out Neighborhood Association (RT) duties as a personal data processor. Referring to countries in the world, Indonesia is lagging behind in the struggle to ensure that personal data protection laws are implemented from the private to the government level, including Neighborhood Association (RT)

The Ideal Indonesia's Musyawarah: A Remedy for the ASEAN Way
Authors: Jeko Spastyono  , Ichsan Malike  , Bambang Wahyudi
Published: April 2024

Over half a century has passed, yet ASEAN is again caught between two battling giants. Utilizing a literature review approach, we delve into this issue by focusing on the ASEAN way, which is the machine of ASEAN. Contrary to skeptics' views, the consensus mechanism's negative effects stem more from the non-intervention principle, which limits its utility. However, the key to addressing this issue lies in utilizing agenda to better consensus mechanisms to create a non-interference minimalized forum. The key is that ASEAN member states are willing to fund thousands of forums to achieve consensus on various issues. Indonesia, the nominal leader that habitually hedges between great power and the owner of musyawarah and mufakat used by TAC, is the best actor to initiate this idea. Currently, when ASEAN states are divided and cannot convince, much less help each other, Indonesia's Musyawarah and Mufakat, which brings all voices, including the taboo ones, to the table, could be the key to creating a special forum where ASEAN member states become strategists to help other member but maintain the dignity and autonomy of the helped member. Ultimately, what is usually swept under the rug and hinders the consensus-building process can be minimized, and ASEAN can become a more effective organization

Published: April 2024

The elements of chemotherapy for the recovery of potato plants in vitro were selected. The influence of various modifications of the nutrient medium on changes in morphological parameters was investigated. The process of reproduction of potato plants of different varieties was studied. It was experimentally proved that in vitro potato recovery with elements of chemotherapy ensures the reproduction of the source material on a virus-free basis by inhibiting the activity of viruses and bacteria with virus inhibitory and antibacterial drugs. The absence of viruses in the obtained material is confirmed by the results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) diagnostics.
Studies have shown that the use of Noviryn is the most effective element of chemotherapy for Serpanok and Skarbnytsia varieties. Its action contributed to an increase in plant height and the number of leaves per shoot, and increased the multiplication factor to 4.5 and 3.9, respectively. The use of Noviryn in combination with Dekasan is the best option for improving Mezhyrichka 11 variety and leads to the improvement of certain morphological parameters (+4.5 cm of stem length, +3.5 of leaves) and the multiplication coefficient (+1.0). The use of Noviryn in combination with Salicylic Acid had a positive effect on changes in the morphological parameters of all potato varieties under study. It should be noted that during the growing season in the field, the first field generation of in vitro plants was resistant to secondary infection with viral diseases.

Published: April 2024

India presently depends on imports of crude oil from overseas sources. However, the increasing demand for fossil fuels and the depletion of these finite resources are contributing to a rise in the costs associated with these imports. There has been a pressing demand for the development of cost-effective, renewable, and environmentally sustainable solutions. Biofuels, which are obtained from a wide range of biomass sources such as plants, animals, and microbes, present a potentially viable answer. Microorganisms exhibiting the ability to accumulate lipids in excess of 20% in the form of triacylglycerols and wax esters are commonly denoted as "oleaginous". The primary objective of this work was to isolate and screen bacterial strains with high lipid accumulation potential from soil samples collected along riverbanks. A total of fourteen strains were isolated and subjected to screening in order to assess their lipid production capabilities. Among these strains, Bacillus velezensis strain DAA1 exhibited the highest level of lipid synthesis. Response Surface Methodology was used to optimize carbon and salt concentrations. The experimental findings indicated that the utilization of carbon at a concentration of 12.5 g/L with salt concentration of 17.07 g/L, resulted in a noteworthy lipid content of 79%. The major fatty acid found through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) for lipid characterization was determined to be 12-methyltetradecanoic acid, constituting 41% of the overall lipid composition. This work highlights the potential of Bacillus velezensis DAA1 as a promising alternative for lipid production, with possible implications for biofuel generation in the industry.

Authors: Poludasu Rama Mohan
Published: April 2024

Accumulating organic waste stands as a significant challenge in developing nations. Researchers have extensively studied and utilized sugarcane bagasse fiber residues to produce various compounds. Cladosporium sp. NCIM 901 employs peracetic acid (PAA) treated bagasse in solid substrate fermentation (SSF) to generate cellulase enzyme.  We utilized a Box-Behnken Design (BBD) to investigate how the fermentation medium components - watermelon juice, lemon peel powder, KH2PO4, (NH4)2SO4, and MgSO4 - affect the synthesis of Filter Paperase (FPase), Carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase), and β-glucosidase enzymes. Under the enhanced conditions, the trial exhibited β-glucosidase, CMCase, and FPase activities of 18.6, 19.4, and 17.6 U/gds, respectively. The model calculated R2 values ranging between 91.2–91.4%, suggesting their suitability and potentially usable for estimating the level of culture medium variables needed to achieve optimal enzyme generation by the fungal strain Cladosporium sp. Observations confirm that supplementing lemon peel powder and watermelon juice with MgSO4 enhances enzyme production. The findings of model validation revealed high consistency between the observed experimental and anticipated outcomes. In the simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SsF) process, the processed bagasse yielded more ethanol (26 g/L) compared to the untreated substrate. Based on the result, it can be conclude that, fruit processing wastes are useful for increasing cellulase enzyme production by fungi under solid state fermentation.

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of commonly prescribed antibiotics on sperm parameters in breeding roosters. Twenty adult subjects were divided on the basis of their response to the dorso-abdominal massage into four experimental groups (G1: 30 mg/kg of ampicillin, G2: 10 mg/kg of enrofloxacin, G3: 2.5 mg/kg of colistin, and G4: 140 mg/kg of a sulfonamides association (sulphaquinoxaline sodium 150 mg, sulphamethazine sodium 70 mg, sulphadiazine sodium 70 mg). The measurements were performed at (T0) (before treatment), (T3 and T9) (representing 3 and 9 days of treatment) by Computer Aided Sperm Analysis (CASA). All antibiotics did not affect ejaculate color, pH, seminal fluid viscosity, and agglutination. Ampicillin increased slightly sperm volume at T3 (0.31±0.19) with no significant change at T9 (0.30±0.15). No significant effect was observed at T3 on sperm count (224.05±41.9), viability (94±2.08), and total motility (TM) (57%). However, progressive motility (PM) deceased slightly on T3 (36.92%). Enrofloxacin and colistin induced a significant decrease in sperm volume (0.40±0.10, 0.16±0.08), count (2.13±0.27, 0.65±0.33), viability (81.33±5.45, 37.33±18.67), TM (54.95%, 46.91%), and PM (31.24%, 23%) on T3. On T9 some parameters were improved to be closer to those observed at T0. Ampicillin, colistin, and enrofloxacin decreased significantly all (CASA) kinematic parameters. The highest impact was observed on the third day of treatment (T3). Sulfonamides decreased sperm volume and gametes concentration but enhanced significantly sperm viability, total motility TM, progressive motility PM, and all kinematic parameters.

Published: April 2024

Modulation of stomatal biogenesis is one of the means to consider for improving crops' water use efficiency without losing productivity. Transcription factor MUTE is among the critical regulators of stomata biogenesis, particularly of the guard mother cell division. In the current study, we investigated promoter regions of three homoeologous MUTE genes–MUTE-A1, MUTE-B1, and MUTE-D1 from two bread wheat cultivars of different geographic origins. Based on the available sequence of the Chinese Spring genome, MUTE promoters were isolated and sequenced from the Ukrainian cultivar Natalka. Promoter regions of more than 1600 bp upstream of the predicted start codons were cloned as PCR-amplified fragments and analyzed by sequencing. The sequence alignments revealed significant subgenome and cross-cultivar heterogeneity of the analyzed promoters. The analysis showed numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms and large deletions in every Natalka sequence compared with Chinese Spring: 276-bp deletion in MUTE-A1, 205-bp in MUTE-B1, 1291-bp in MUTE-D1. These changes affected a range of cis-regulatory elements (light- and stress-responsive elements, as well as tissue-specific elements) within the investigated DNA sequences. The study sheds new light on the regulatory variation of one of the critical factors in stomata biogenesis, widening our understanding of wheat genome plasticity with potential implications for improving the crop's performance under restricted water conditions.

Honey is a natural sweetener evaluated in accordance with Council Directive 2001/110/EC. 336 honeys from Czech hobby beekeepers were evaluated in this work.  The honeys were classified by the beekeepers using questionnaires, and all samples were subjected to laboratory analysis using physico-chemical and melissopalynological methods. The honey samples were categorized by the beekeepers into blossom honeys (n=272), honeydew honeys (n=32), and blended honeys (n=32). Statistically significant differences between beekeepers’ and analytical determinations of honey origin were confirmed. For blossom honey, incorrect classification was due to hight electric conductivity (39%), hight moisture (29%), low F+G (14%), and high sucrose content (0,4%). For honeydew honey, incorrect classification was mainly due to low electric conductivity (100%). For blended honey due to high electric conductivity (3.2%) and high acidity (3.2%). Our results show that although the beekeeper has a great deal of information at his disposal for the proper classification of honey, the determination of a wide range of honey contents and properties is always crucial. The cumulative assessment of blossom honeys also showed that there are more monofloral honeys in the country than beekeepers themselves identify. The 6.8% and 23.0% of blossom honey was in compliance with the definition for monofloral honeys for upper and lower limit according to Czech and German regulation.

Silver-based nanomaterials have etched an indelible mark in multiple domains. The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has received significant attention over the last few years vis-à-vis the conventional use of toxic chemicals and reagents in the preparatory stages. In this milieu, the work reported here highlights the use of an aqueous extract of teff (Eragrostis tef) flour to prepare silver nanoparticles (TSNPs). The compositional abundance of various phytochemicals, sunlight-induced bio-reduction of silver ions, and subsequent stabilization of the nanostructures by teff’s biomolecules were adroitly exploited. UV-visible spectroscopic analysis was employed to track the evolution of the TSNPs over time and their month-long storage stability. Exhibiting λmax at around 426 nm and energy gap (as revealed by Tauc’s plot) of 2.26 eV, the silver nanomaterial was employed for methylene blue dye degradation (50% degradation in less than 20 min) and DPPH scavenging (IC50 = 243.42 μL containing 410 μg of TSNPs), attesting their catalytic and anti-oxidant potency. On the other hand, anticoagulant action and a concentration-dependent variation were noted for radicle length post germination of Cicer arientinum seeds, treated with the TSNPs. The TSNPs could have profound implications in multiple domains.

RISK ASSESSMENT IN CYBER ATTACKS BASED ON INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT)
Authors: Kumar Shubham , Singh Dayashankar
Published: April 2024

The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has ushered in an era of unprecedented connectivity and convenience. However, it has also exposed these devices to a growing number of cyber threats. This study explores the evolving landscape of IoT cyber-attacks and investigates the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing the security of IoT ecosystems. IoT devices, ranging from smart thermostats and wearables to industrial sensors and autonomous vehicles, have become integral parts of our daily lives and critical infrastructures. With their increasing prevalence, they have become attractive targets for cybercriminals. Traditional security mechanisms often fall short in detecting and mitigating these attacks, making AI a promising solution. This research leverages AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and anomaly detection to analyze patterns and trends in IoT cyber-attacks. By examining a vast dataset of real-world incidents, including botnet-driven DDoS attacks, device compromise, and data breaches, the study identifies common attack vectors and vulnerabilities inherent to IoT devices. Furthermore, it assesses the effectiveness of AI-driven intrusion detection and prevention systems in real-time threat identification.

Op zoek naar het monster van Loch Ness. Over de toepassing en afwijking van het billijke prijsvermoeden

Ondanks dat rechters en juridische auteurs steevast overwegen dat afwijken van het billijke prijsvermoeden in de bijzondere uitkoopprocedure (art. 2:359c lid 6 BW) mogelijk is, gebeurt het in de praktijk nooit. In dit artikel staat de oorzaak daarvan centraal. Daarbij besteedt de auteur bijzondere aandacht aan de ratio achter het billijke prijsvermoeden.

A cria da casa e o "Bildungsroman" proletário de Jorge Amado: notas sobre um problema na formação do romance brasileiro
Authors: Freitas Ismael Cunha , Sanseverino Antônio Marcos Vieira
Published: April 2024

O ensaio busca iluminar a configuração problemática do romance de formação proletário de Jorge Amado, Jubiabá, quando analisada sob a lente da “cria da casa” – figura chave da sociabilização brasileira. Em um contexto de transformações das relações de trabalho coloniais para as de contratos capitalistas no panorama do populismo nacional-patriarcalista de 1930, a presença da cria da casa vem ao proscênio no âmbito da formação proletária, funcionando como princípio formal do livro. A exposição das contradições entre forma e matéria narrada pretende questionar o fundamento da formação do romance brasileiro à época da modernização nacional.
Machados e Fuzis de Roberto Schwarz
Authors: Mendes Adilson
Published: April 2024

Este artigo destaca o lugar significativo do ensaio “O cinema e Os fuzis” (1966) na obra de Roberto Schwarz. Para descrever aspectos do trabalho do crítico, o artigo relaciona a leitura do filme Os fuzis com os estudos machadianos do autor. O artigo defende a tese de que a crítica ao filme de Ruy Guerra é parte integrante de uma série de artigos sobre as especificidades da modernização brasileira, conjunto de reflexões desenvolvidas logo após o golpe civil-militar de 1964. Dessa forma, o artigo tem uma dupla démarche: por um lado, analisa internamente o ensaio “O cinema e Os fuzis”, tentando explicitar sua estrutura e andamento; por outro lado, uma tentativa de inserção do ensaio no conjunto da obra de Roberto Schwarz.A experiência do espectador interessado testa e informa a análise literária. O destaque para o jovem crítico da cultura fornece pistas sobre questões de método para o crítico maduro ao expor correlações entre análise literária e interpretação fílmica.
Procedimentos composicionais de Alexander Kluge em "Notícias da antiguidade ideológica" e seus paralelos com a tradição da Teoria Crítica
Authors: Leal Carlos Alberti Salim
Published: April 2024

A obra audiovisual de Alexander Kluge Notícias da Antiguidade Ideológica - Marx, Eisenstein, “O Capital” (Nachrichten aus der ideologischen Antike – Marx, Eisenstein, “Das Kapital”) foi lançado em 2008. Contando com cerca de nove horas de duração mais extras, o projeto representa uma problematização da própria noção de filme. Tomando como ponto de partida, a ambição de Eisenstein de filmar O Capital, de Karl Marx, e a possível utilização do modelo do Ulysses, de James Joyce, para esta empreitada. No presente trabalho buscaremos apontar algumas de suas singularidades composicionais e suas implicações para a prática audiovisual contemporânea, relacionando ao legado da teoria crítica.
Tragédia do pequeno homem: sobre “Ciro”, de Modesto Carone
Authors: Flores Wilson
Published: April 2024

“Ciro” é a segunda das duas narrativas que compõem Resumo de Ana, de Modesto Carone. Filho de Ana, Ciro tem uma trajetória que, nos termos do autor, seria trágica, por apresentar um desenvolvimento necessário que ruma em direção a um desfecho. Em “Ciro”, o tempo passa aos saltos, mas numa espécie de plano, marcado pela repetição, pelo retorno do mesmo e pela reiteração de uma espécie de “destino” histórico quase inflexível. Desde o início, ainda bebê, a vida de Ciro é marcada por uma sequência de infortúnios com raros – mas fundamentais – momentos de respiro, fantasias e aspirações. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar “Ciro” como uma representação contida e sensível do amálgama de banalidade e tragédia, familiaridade e estranhamento, indiferença e luto que foi e permanece sendo uma marca renitente das fraturas e tensões inerentes às relações de alteridade no Brasil.

Uma leitura comparada entre “O Grande circo místico” de Jorge de Lima, e “Acrobata da Dor” de Cruz e Sousa
Authors: Paula Douglas Ferreira de
Published: April 2024

Embora não se possa falar de uma continuidade entre simbolismo e modernismo brasileiros, é possível verificar uma tradição lírica em comum. Consagrou-se, por muito tempo, a ideia de completa ruptura e isolamento da estética simbolista, mas os estudos, nas últimas décadas, têm rejeitado essa tese. A comparação entre o poema “O Grande circo místico”, de Jorge de Lima, e “Acrobata da Dor”, de Cruz e Sousa, nasce, assim, tanto da compreensão de que o simbolismo atuou na constituição de nosso sistema literário quanto da concepção de que não é necessária uma influência direta e explícita para que haja a leitura de dois autores e suas obras. O pressuposto de nossa análise é que o paralelismo temático possa contribuir na leitura dos dois poemas no que se refere à percepção das representações em torno da artista moderno. A partir das imagens do artista, constatam-se as diferenças e as semelhanças, com o intuito de revelar o modo de apreensão e representação da arte.
As marcas do sufismo no Oriente de Milton Hatoum
Authors: Gonçalves Villar Valter Luciano
Published: April 2024

O fenômeno religioso vem se tornando cada vez mais sistemático e abundante na nossa sociedade, especialmente no tocante à religião islâmica, sempre retratada pelas corporações midiáticas, como lócus de intolerância e barbárie. Milton Hatoum tem se contraposto a esse estado discursivo, anteriormente percebido pelo crítico palestino Edward Said, ao ornar seus personagens árabes masculinos com a roupa do sufismo, corrente religiosa islâmica que preceitua a dança, a poesia e as artes, como um dos caminhos pelos quais o homem pode vislumbrar a Divindade.
“Morte barroca”: os fundamentos da retórica fúnebre nos sermões de Antônio Vieira
Authors: Lima da Silva Felipe
Published: April 2024

O presente artigo analisa os fundamentos do tema da morte nos sermões do padre Antônio Vieira, buscando distinguir a maneira como o pregador configura o discurso fúnebre quando se dirige à corte, destacando a relevância da duração temporal como aspecto importante da sua “retórica da morte”. Em contrapartida, demonstraremos como Vieira se utiliza dos topoi da morte para conduzir o seu auditório pela via do desengano, apelando ao medo do tempo e ao temor da ausência de Deus muito mais do que ao macabro figurativamente recorrido.    PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Morte; Retórica; Antônio Vieira.
