Published: May 2024

Butanol is an alternative energy that is being developed to overcome the energy crisis. This is because butanol has a high Octane number and oxygen content so it can optimize engine performance. This research was carried out to determine the impact of adding butanol to Pertamax on gasoline engine performance. The engine used is a 150 cc EFI petrol engine. The fuel uses Pertamax with butanol additive. Testing uses speed variations of 1000 – 3000 rpm. Test results: The performance of the 150 cc EFI petrol engine using the Pertamax-butanol mixture (P95B5) has increased compared to using pure Pertamax fuel (P100). This can be seen from the increase in torque and power with Pertamax-butanol fuel (P95B5) of 3.57 N.m and 1.12 kW, the highest increase at rpm 3000. Engine fuel consumption decreased when butanol was added compared to pure Pertamax (P100). The lowest fuel consumption occurred with Pertamax-butanol (P95B5) fuel at 0.21 ml/s when the engine speed was 100 rpm. Meanwhile, the highest fuel consumption occurred in Pertamax fuel (P100) at 0.62 ml/s when the engine speed was 3000 rpm

Venäläisen aksentin tunnistaminen suomen suullisen kielitaidon arvioinnissa
Authors: Ullakonoja Riikka
Published: May 2024

The paper focuses on the Russian accent in the Finnish oral proficiency test. The data consist of spontaneous monologues on an intermediate proficiency level from 10 speakers (about 90 s each). Raters (n=44) were asked to identify the accent in the speech samples as well as to give justifications for their recognition in their own words. The analysis is based on a classification of the raters’ comments as well as auditory and acoustic analysis by the author. The results show that the raters paid most attention to individual sounds, but also palatalization and intonation were mentioned as the reasons for detection of the Russian accent. To conclude, further and more detailed acoustic analysis is needed to gain more understanding of the phonetic features of Russian accented Finnish.
LINGUODIDACTIC FEATURES OF TEACHING ADJECTIVES
IN THE COURSE OF UKRAINIAN AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
Authors: Matsiuk Zoriana
Published: May 2024

The article delineates the nuances surrounding the meaning, morphological features, syntactic functions, and stylistic attributes of Ukrainian adjectives as a focal point for foreign learners, accompanied by a proposed set of exercises tailored to foster practical proficiency and fluency in their application within speech.
It underscores the close association between adjectives and nouns, wherein their interdependency epitomizes the essence of their lexical meaning and grammatical categories. The semantics of adjectives is linked with word-formation structures, encompassing both derivative and non-derivative forms, as well as processes of substantiation. In teaching Ukrainian to non-native speakers, particular emphasis is placed on elucidating the autonomous nature of morphological categories – gender, number, and case – when adjectives assume the role of a noun or predicate.
A comprehensive array of morphological variations within adjectives is delineated: 1) forms of word change by gender, number, case; 2) forms of adjectival comparison; 3) short and full (conjugated and unconjugated) forms of adjectives; 4) forms of adjectives by the final consonant of the stem (hard, soft, mixed group). Consideration is given to the formation and utilization of grammatical forms in tandem with the lexical and stylistic nuances inherent to adjectives.
Moreover, the article underscores the distinctive approach employed in textbooks targeting Ukrainian as a foreign language when addressing the topic of adjectives. Authors extensively employ tables, instructional rules, generalizations, and grammatical exercises with a communicative emphasis, supplemented by explanatory commentary. It is essential to exercise creativity in leveraging the grammatical content within textbooks, critically evaluating presentation modalities and sequential learning patterns, and devising a comprehensive range of exercises and tasks aimed at cultivating practical aptitude and proficiency in adjective usage within speech. The efficacy of addressing these objectives hinges upon the methodological proficiency of Ukrainian language educators catering to foreign learners.
Key words: Ukrainian as a foreign language, adjective, practical grammar, morphological features, syntactic functions, methodological competence.

The paper deals with writing as a type of speech activity in terms of linguodidactics. The purpose of the study is to highlight Lesya Ukrainka’s epistolary heritage as a material for developing the writing skills of foreigners learning Ukrainian. The choice of material is due to a number of factors, including the outstanding figure of Lesya Ukrainka, her powerful epistolary talent, multilingualism, the artist’s cultural and translation activities. The free access to the letters on the website of the publication, where spelling and punctuation are presented per the norms of modern spelling, makes it possible to use these texts in teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Although the use of Lesya Ukrainka’s texts as teaching material for foreign language students already has a good tradition, her epistolary heritage is only beginning to attract the interest of teachers of Ukrainian as a foreign language.
The paper focuses on theoretical and practical recommendations for developing writing skills in a foreign audience. The paper highlights the place of writing Ukrainian letters in the methodology of teaching the language as a foreign language. It outlines the materials and tasks for foreigners to develop their skills in writing friendly and business letters in Ukrainian. The paper emphasizes the importance of the preparatory stage, which includes a set of tasks for working on the forms of the vocative case, formulas of address, greetings, farewells, expressions of gratitude, etc. Special attention is paid to the structure of a letter in the Ukrainian language. It has been proved that working with Lesya Ukrainka’s letters can effectively develop writing skills. The article presents language materials and a list of tasks for different levels of Ukrainian language proficiency that students can do based on Lesya Ukrainka’s letters. Such tasks will help foreigners develop their writing skills, improve their knowledge of the Ukrainian language, and contribute to the formation of socio-cultural competence.

Published: May 2024

The article is devoted to researching the relevance of Internet resources as an educational component in the system of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Research and development of linguists, which were feasible in the direction of foreign language training using computer technologies and Internet tools, were studied. The work identifies the motives that encourage foreign citizens to learn the Ukrainian language. The content of popular sites was analyzed for the possibility of independent mastering of the Ukrainian language by foreign citizens with their help. Special attention is paid to researching the content of Internet resources, namely to what extent their content contributes to: mastering phonetics at the proper level, familiarization with grammatical features, mastering communication skills in accordance with modern needs, vocabulary formation. It was determined that the proposed system of interactive exercises and tasks of Internet resources allows for explanations in an interesting and accessible form, consolidation and generalization of material on the example of communicative situations from modern life, which contributes to increasing interest in the educational process. The article examines how the sociocultural and country studies component is reflected in the process of selection and formation of thematic blocks and sections of online resources. It was found that Internet resources contribute to the formation of foreign language speech competence at a sufficient level by combining theoretical knowledge and practical skills. As a result, it was concluded that the use of the Internet in the system of teaching a foreign language and Ukrainian, in particular, has a number of advantages, namely: the distance learning format allows you to independently manage the educational process, in particular, to personally determine the time and place; choose material according to your level; work on topics guided by one’s own goals and interests; students have the opportunity to learn from native speakers, not just from textbooks. The article examines the feasibility and relevance of using Internet resources in the process of learning another language. Positive prospects of using the Internet in the process of mastering the Ukrainian language as a foreign language and in raising the qualification level of teachers working in this direction were identified.

UKRAINIAN AS A HERITAGE LANGUAGE: HOW TO KEEP LEARNERS MOTIVATED
Authors: Turkevych Oksana
Published: May 2024

The process of learning/acquiring Ukrainian as a heritage language is characterized by such factors as motivation, identity, and multilingualism.
Motivation as a special concept of heritage language education is of great importance, and the quality and result of learning depends on its interpretation, awareness, and direct implementation in practice. The purpose of the article is to analyze different types of motivation as a fundamental concept that affects the process of teaching/learning/acquiring Ukrainian as a second language in children’s classrooms.
Instrumental and integrative types of motivation can overlap or be specifically expressed concerning a new situation of learning a heritage language. It is also often the case that inheritors are motivated to learn an inherited language because of a connection (family, patriotism, and more and more often genetic, etc., the so-called heritage-related orientation).
The intrinsic and extrinsic motivation of school-age students is interdependent, and for those who learn a heritage language, the model of distinguishing between language proficiency and the socio-psychological need for cultural identification is effective. Cultural identification is often a more important motivational factor and prevails.
Language attitudes and the importance of self-determination within the community determine motivation, in particular for Ukrainian-Russian bilinguals who learn Ukrainian outside of Ukraine.
The article offers ways to increase learners’ motivation and specific techniques for doing so (e.g., incorporating a socio-cultural component into classroom instruction; developing students’ intercultural awareness; helping students build on their successes in small steps; increasing students’ interest and engagement in tasks; increasing students’ sense of satisfaction), as well as tips for interpreting and addressing learners’ motivation in crises, including refugee situations.
Motivation for learning a heritage language is a special complex concept, the consideration of which (by all involved (parents, students, teachers, community representatives) and the specifics of the situation (e.g., a refugee situation) determines the effectiveness of the learning process or its existence in general.
Key words: motivation, Ukrainian as a heritage language, multilingualism, heritage language learner.

Authors: Kushnierova O.A. , Shostakovych–Koretska L.R. , Lytvyn K.Yu. , Shevelova O.V.
Published: May 2024

Objective — to determine the impact of antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the progression of lymphomas induced by Epstein—Barr virus (EBV) in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Materials and methods. We analysed clinical-epidemiological, laboratory and serological indicators of 57 HIV-infected patients with clinically and laboratory-confirmed EBV co-infection. Patients were divided into two groups: the primary group consisted of 9 patients with lymphomas (66.7 % of whom received ART without concurrent chemotherapy with cytostatic antitumor agents, while the rest did not receive ART), and the control group included 48 patients without neoplasms.
Results and discussion. To assess the effectiveness of ART in treating EBV-induced lymphomas, we analysed the general clinical, immunological and virological indicators of patients at the start of observation and after 6 months of therapy. In patients with EBV-associated lymphomas receiving ART, there was an increase in CD4+ lymphocytes, a decrease in HIV viral load, an increase in hemoglobin levels (p < 0.05), and a significant reduction in EBV viral load (p < 0.01). In patients with EBV-associated lymphomas who did not receive ART, there was a further decrease in CD4+ lymphocytes and an increase in EBV viral load. Two clinical cases are presented: in one, a patient received palliative chemotherapy according to the CHOP regimen but did not receive ART due to an absolute refusal because of poor drug tolerance; in the other case, the patient received ART without cytostatic antitumor drugs due to an absolute refusal.
Conclusions. The study results established that the use of ART in patients with EBV-associated lymphomas not only improved the primary indicators characteristic of HIV but also significantly reduced the EBV viral load (p < 0.01). The dynamics of the main immunological and virological indicators in patients with EBV-associated lymphomas who did not receive ART were negative, as evidenced by the further decrease in CD4+ lymphocytes and an increase in EBV viral load. From the clinical cases presented, it can be concluded that the timely administration of ART to patients with EBV-associated lymphomas is a crucial therapeutic tool that not only facilitates positive immunological and virological changes in HIV infection but also affects the quality and duration of life in patients with EBV-associated lymphomas.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
 
Wayang Parwa performances in the last three decades have become increasingly rare in society. This performance originates from the Mahabharata epic and is accompanied by the Gender Wayang gamelan, which is one of the oldest in Bali. Wayang Parwa is usually used as a basis for learning to become a puppeteer in formal and non-formal education. Wayang Parwa has many versions, and in Bali, there are four styles of Wayang Parwa: Bebadungan Style, Sukawati Style, Tunjung Style, and Buleleng (North Bali). One of the styles with the most favorite is the Bebadungan style, which is spread across six districts/cities in Bali, such as Tabanan, Negara, Klungkung, Bangli, Karangasem, and Denpasar City. With the emergence of various variants of innovative wayang performances, the popularity of Wayang Parwa has decreased.
To maintain the existence of the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan Style performance in this millennial era, conservative efforts needed to be made, namely through training. Considering the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan style performances by today's young puppeteers, many need to be stronger in Tetikesan (puppet movements). For this reason, the training material provided to members of Sanggar Majalangu, Kerobokan Village, North Kuta District, Badung Regency, led by I Made Agus Adi Santika, is Tetikesan. This training could answer the public's opinion that the weakness of the Wayang Parwa Bebadungan style performance refers to Tetikesan. The training was focused on one of the studio members using instructional, structured, gradual, and innovative learning methods by utilizing YouTube media, which releases audio recordings of Wayang Buduk performances by puppeteer Ida Bagus Arnawa (deceased) and his son, puppeteer Ida Bagus Puja (deceased) as standardization of the Bebadungan style.

Integrating Action-Effect Episodes into Long-Term Memory as a Function of Control
Authors: Schreiner Marcel Raphael , Kunde Wilfried
Published: May 2024

We interact with our environment through our actions, sampling information from environmental effects following them. Here we asked how control over action effects influences long-term memory for the effect content and the actions that produced them, as well as how these two aspects become integrated in memory. In two experiments, participants carried out spatial actions, which produced the movement of a box wherein an image was presented. The box either moved spatially congruently or incongruently with the participants’ action, prompting high or low control experience. Memory for images was later tested in a recognition test and we additionally probed whether participants could retrieve the action used to produce an image when being cued with said image. In a third experiment, we kept the spatial effect component constant to directly investigate bindings between action and effect features. While we found mixed evidence for a facilitating effect of control on declarative memory for effect content, possibly due to variations in encoding strength, we found consistent evidence for the formation of bindings between action and effect features in long-term memory. While we found direct evidence for bindings between action and effect content (action-effect binding), the effect of control may additionally, and more strongly, be driven by bindings between different effect features (effect-effect binding). Therefore, features of action-effect episodes can be integrated and represented in long-term memory and the formation of these representations is facilitated by control. We propose that feature bindings can be conceptualized as source memory, representing how environmental effects were produced.
Difficulty overdose? Inconclusive effect of the disfluent font on reading in second language
Authors: Tsigeman Elina , Likhanov Maxim , Kalinnikova Lidia , Nikulenko Anastasiia , Filimonova Elena , Kovas Yulia
Published: May 2024

Multiple studies show that reading in hard-to-read (dysfluent) fonts can enhance memory and comprehension of learnt material, but it is unclear if this effect extends to second language (L2) learning. This study investigated the impact of dysfluent fonts on L2 text memorisation and comprehension, accounting for learners’ individual differences (gender, L2 anxiety, L2 proficiency and L1 vocabulary size) in a sample of 454 students. We did not find a conclusive positive disfluency effect on short- or long-delayed information retention or comprehension as well as on metacognitive judgements. Moreover, individual differences did not moderate the effect. We propose that font dysfluency may have positive effect in inexperienced readers, but may also cause a “difficulty overdose” in learners with very little reading experience. More research is needed to test whether there is a “window of opportunity” in the course of the reading skills’ development – when disfluency is particularly beneficial.
Outcomes that matter to depressed adolescents can be identified with large language models
Authors: Xin Al , Lossio-Ventura Juan Antonio , Krause Karolin Rose , Fiorini Guilherme , Midgley Nick , Pereira Francisco , Nielson Dylan M
Published: May 2024

Depression treatment studies often focus exclusively on changes in depressive symptoms, such as low mood, anhedonia, or sleep disruption. However, incorporating other outcomes important to those experiencing depression, such as the quality of interpersonal relationships or quality of life, could improve understanding of the impacts of depression and effectiveness of treatment. Drawing on data from in-depth interviews with adolescents, parents, and therapists, Krause et al. produced a novel coding framework that covers additional domains of interest that matter to adolescents, such as relationships, functioning, and well-being. In this paper, we examine whether large language model embeddings can be used to classify this framework’s outcomes from annotated interviews. We compare the suitability of four language models for this purpose across three different segmentations of interview transcripts, such as conversation turns or non-interviewer utterances. The level of performance achieved by our models makes them useful for a variety of applications, ranging from aiding human annotation of text transcripts to quantifying the presence of outcomes for downstream uses, such as estimating treatment effects or building prognostic models.
Transforming paradigms: problematic practices and innovative approaches
Authors: Crutzen Rik , Peters Gjalt - Jorn Ygram , Perski Olga , Zörgő Szilvia , De Paepe Annick
Published: May 2024

The dominant approaches in health psychology have remained stagnant for decades (Chevance et al., 2021). Quantitative studies often employ variations on linear models, rarely questioning underlying assumptions and their implications. Qualitative studies, too, have seen little methodological progress, often applying a variation of coding the data in hierarchical code structures and describing the identified patterns. This methodological stagnation ultimately hinders scientific progress (Cartwright, 2021). This was the point of departure for a symposium we organized at the 37th Annual Conference of the European Health Psychology Society in Bremen, Germany. In that symposium, we addressed a selection of problematic practices in health psychology research and introduced a number of innovative approaches that hold the potential to transform paradigms and stimulate methodological and theoretical innovation. The aim of this article is twofold. First, to provide a brief overview of the content of our symposium. Next to the slides being publicly available (Crutzen et al., 2023), this contributes to the legacy of the symposium beyond the conference. Second, to provide those interested with more details on and links to tools in order to put these innovative approaches into practice.
Cadastre in Nepal: Need for 3D and Way Towards 4D
Authors: Yagol Pravesh , Dangol Susheel , Joshi Prakash
Published: May 2024

Increase in population and its migration towards urban areas are leading to unmanaged urbanization generating pressure on the land. To meet the demand of migrating people, high rise buildings are being developed. Since land is a limited resource, this is a better solution. Rights on vertical strata in the same parcel need to be recorded technically and legally in cadastral data as well as land registers. In Nepali context, despite some limited legal provisions for recording 3D cadastral data, there is still a gap in recording spatial information technically. On the other hand, due to the lack of clear spatial information recording and limited provisions for recording in land registers, land disputes are also arising. However, an increase in land dispute cases is not the only issue; there are a huge number of reasons related to legal and technical provisions in land administration. Therefore, in order to minimize land dispute cases, 4D cadastre can provide a better solution. The paper discusses the legal provisions of 3D cadastre and its need in the context of Nepal, along with the need for 4D cadastre to support in reducing land dispute cases.

Authors: Karna Bikash Kumar
Published: May 2024

Landslide mostly occurred in highly rugged topography, erosional steeply sloping land form and fragile geological structural in mountainous region. Landslide susceptibility describe the likelihood relation of occurring landslide in an area controlled with their local terrain condition. Landslide susceptibility analysis (LSA) work is used to determine the spatial distribution of landslides prone area and applicable to predict the future landslides occurrences, which is vital for averting and mitigating regional landslide disasters. LSA. In this study, LSA is carried with the bivariate analysis incorporating twelve causative factors of landslide. The frequency ratio (FR) technique were used for computing the relative frequency (RF) as priority rank and entropy index (E) as weight of causative factor. Result of LSA shows that the probability of occurring landslides is 80 percent, with 27 percent of that risk being high risk, 38 percent being medium risk, and 15 percent being low risk. The prediction accuracy of the model is 87.89 percent, showing reliable and satisfactorily validation rates with good accuracy. So, the present study demonstrates that the quantitative assessment methods explored may have a promising potential for landslide assessment and prediction in the high hill and Himalaya regions.
Modified One-Point-and-Area Algorithm for Sub-division of Irregular Parcels
Authors: Karmacharya Amrit , Parajuli Janak , Shrestha Shrisha Makaju
Published: May 2024

Parcel sub-division is a crucial part of the Land Administration, and its techniques depend on the user requirements and other constraints. Splitting of a parcel based on a given area is one of such constraints whose subdivision has been popularly carried out using the trial-and-error method which is less accurate and time-consuming. For more accurate and direct subdivision, Habib developed algorithms based on popular eight cases. Among them, when the area to be split is known, a point or line is selected as a reference. In case if it has to be a point, then a one-point-and-area method is used for subdivision while a move-line-and-area method is used if line segment is used as reference. It was found that Habib Algorithm worked well for convex shapes, however it could not account for the concavity of irregular-shaped parcels. It was found that the approach for the calculation of the area considered only the cases of convex shapes. Therefore, the researchers observed the issues of clinging and retracting were identified. Thus, this study proposes an effective algorithm for the division of an irregular parcel using an improved version of One-Point-and-Area method used in Habib Algorithm. An additional stage of generating a convex hull was introduced to guide the iteration process, the formula to calculate area was adjusted to compute only the interior area and finally, the determination of the partition polygon was also done through an iterative improvement process rather than the existing one-step process. Experiments showed that the proposed algorithm accurately divided both irregular-shaped parcels and convex parcels. In the case of convex parcels, the result was found to be the same as Habib’s method. Due to the addition of an extra stage of generating a convex hull and extra iterations in the final stage, the proposed algorithm consumed more time. However, it was found negligible in regard to the volume of parcels involved in splitting at a time. Overall, the proposed algorithm accurately solved the issues of clinging and retracting irregular polygons and without changing the results in convex polygons. So, it was concluded to be a suitable replacement of Habib Algorithm, and its implementation will provide more accurate results in parcel sub-division problems.

The article substantiates the pedagogical aspects of the humanities as presented by the Polish scholar Florian Znaniecki, through the prism of current concerns of Ukrainian science, using the materials from Lech Witkowski’s extensive book Uroszczenia i transaktualność w humanistyce. Florian Znaniecki: dziedzictwo idei i jego pęknięcia [False claims and transactuality in the Humanities. Florian Znaniecki: the legacy of ideas and its ruptures.] Analysing Znaniecki’s contradictory viewpoints regarding the role of pedagogy in the system of humanistic knowledge, Witkowski convincingly emphasizes the “pedagogy” or pedagogical orientation of Znaniecki’s scientific work and identifies the actual tasks for modern pedagogy, based on the contradictions of modern cultural life or the democratic ideal. The author of the article attempts to place these emphases (Is pedagogy a humanistic or a social science?) and to reevaluate fundamental notions in the field of methodology through the prism of Ukrainian humanities. Witkowski also identifies contemporary objectives for modern pedagogy, drawing from the discrepancies observed in current cultural dynamics or the democratic paradigm. The author emphasizes the challenges of modern humanities in the context of the formation of democratic values, fostering national identity, promoting civic engagement, and media culture to counteract the information war, interdisciplinary approach, complementarity, and social orientation in the post-humanist paradigm. The article analyses some critical aspects of Znaniecki’s views in the latest interpretation of Witkowski, who convincingly goes beyond the traditional receptions of the Polish sociologist’s pedagogical discourses. The article highlights the topical issues of academic (dis)integrity, according to L. Witkowski’s book, in which Znaniecki’s theoretical concept of conjugated duality, irrationality, and bureaucratization of science gains significant prominence.

Development that continues to increase, especially in the housing sector and tourism industry in Junrejo District, Batu City, East Java Province, has resulted in massive land conversion activities occurring, especially the reduction of agricultural land to non-agricultural land. It turns out that some of the land conversions are not in accordance with the regional spatial planning (RTRW) that has been determined. This study aims to determine the suitability of land conversion to RTRW directions in the Junrejo District area and the factors that influence the occurrence of land conversion. The method used in this research is a quantitative method with a spatial approach and a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this research are: (1) there is suitability for land conversion to the RTRW covering an area of 54.47 hectares, nonconformity covering an area of 24.77 hectares, and supporting the RTRW direction covering an area of 104.78 hectares; (2) factors causing land conversion in Junrejo District are the need for housing, increasing land prices, and the choice to work outside the agricultural sector.
Pembangunan yang terus meningkat terutama pada sektor perumahan dan industri pariwisata di Kecamatan Junrejo, Kota Batu Provinsi Jawa Timur, membuat aktivitas alih fungsi lahan masif terjadi, terutama penyusutan lahan pertanian ke non pertanian. Ternyata sebagian alih fungsi lahan tersebut tidak sesuai  dengan Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah (RTRW) yang sudah ditetapkan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kesesuaian alih fungsi lahan terhadap arahan RTRW di wilayah Kecamatan Junrejo dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya alih fungsi lahan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan spasial dan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah: (1) terdapat kesesuaian alih fungsi lahan terhadap RTRW seluas 54,47 hektar, ketidaksesuaian seluas 24,77 hektar dan mendukung arahan RTRW seluas 104,78 hektar; (2) faktor penyebab terjadinya alih fungsi lahan di Kecamatan Junrejo adalah kebutuhan tempat tinggal, harga lahan yang meningkat, dan pilihan bekerja di luar sektor pertanian.

The area of agricultural land in Godean District and Mlati District experienced a significant decline from 2015 to 2022 due to urbanization, amounting to 122 ha and 175.01 ha, respectively. Apart from that, in these two sub-districts, part of the area is part of the Yogyakarta Urban Area (KPY), and the other part is a strategic area with a food security function. This research aims to identify the spatial correlation of agricultural to non-agricultural land conversion in Godean District and Mlati District. Identification of spatial correlations of land conversion was carried out using Average Nearest Neighbor, Spatial Autocorrelations (Morans I), and Cluster and Outlier (Anselin Local Morans I) analysis. The results of the research show that agricultural land that has experienced land conversion in both locations has a tendency to be clustered with a longitudinal spreading pattern (ribbon development). Tlogoadi Village in Mlati District shows a high-sspatial relationship, and Sidoluhur and Sidoagung Villages show a low-sspatial relationship. It was concluded that the land undergoing conversion at the research location has a fairly strong spatial correlation and characteristics that tend to be similar.
Luas lahan pertanian di Kecamatan Godean dan Kecamatan Mlati mengalami laju penurunan yang cukup signifikan dari tahun 2015-2022 akibat arus urbanisasi, masing-masing sebesar 122 Ha dan 175,01 Ha. Selain itu, pada kedua kecamatan ini sebagian wilayahnya menjadi bagian dari Kawasan Perkotaan Yogyakarta (KPY) dan sebagian lainnya menjadi kawasan strategis dengan fungsi ketahanan pangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi korelasi spasial alih fungsi lahan pertanian ke non pertanian di Kecamatan Godean dan Kecamatan Mlati. Identifikasi korelasi spasial alih fungsi lahan dilakukan dengan analisis Average Nearest Neighbor, Spatial Autocorrelations (Morans I) dan Cluster and Outlier (Anselin Local Morans I). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lahan pertanian yang mengalami alih fungsi lahan di kedua lokasi mempunyai kecenderungan mengelompok (clustered) dengan pola perembetan memanjang (ribbon development). Desa Tlogoadi di Kecamatan Mlati menunjukkan hubungan spasial High-High serta Desa Sidoluhur dan Sidoagung menunjukkan hubungan spasial Low-Low. Disimpulkan bahwa lahan yang mengalami alih fungsi pada lokasi penelitian memiliki korelasi spasial yang cukup kuat dan karakteristik yang cenderung memiliki kesamaan.
Investigation of the core microbiota of the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae): its impact on pair formation, changes during early colony development and geographic diversity of bacteriophages
Authors:   , Chen Junyan

"The Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes formosanus, initiates colonies with a monogamous pair of swarming reproductives (alates), that shed their wings (dealates) to become king and queen of the incipient colony. The first offspring depends on nutritional resources from the founding pair and their gut microbiota consisting of cellulose-digesting protozoa, bacteria, and archaea. Although subterranean termites rely on their gut microbiota for cellulose digestion, understanding of the core microbiota’s composition and influence on termite biology, especially in founder pairs, remains limited. This thesis has four chapters. The first chapter contains the introduction and literature overview. Chapter 2 through 4 describe the three research objectives. In chapter 2, we investigated how gut microbiota of dealates influence pair formation. We found that higher body weight and protozoa numbers were associated with increased likelihood of pair formation in naturally paired dealates, emphasizing the importance of nutritional resources and microbial symbionts in this process. However, bacterial diversity determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed no influence on pair formation. In the third chapter, we tracked the dynamic changes in body weight, protozoa abundance, and bacterial diversity in colony founders during the initial 170 days of colony development. These variables exhibited a similar dynamic pattern, peaking around 25 to 50 days post-colony foundation, then declining with the emergence of the first workers, indicating a transition from biparental care to alloparental care. The core bacteria predominantly consisted of phylum Bacteroidota and the protozoa endosymbiont Candidatus Azobacteroidetes. Furthermore, we observed correlations of the top-five dominant bacterial phyla and fourteen core bacterial taxa with protozoa abundance, emphasizing the importance of symbiotic interactions between bacteria and protozoa in the incipient colony. In Chapter 4 we investigated the distribution of two bacteriophage genomes previously identified from C. formosanus workers and their putative host bacteria Candidatus Azobacteroides pseudotrichonymphae (CAP) across the geographic range of C. formosanus and related species. These two novel bacteriophages were functionally annotated, and specific primers were developed for PCR detection of the two phages and their host bacterium. We detected both bacteriophages in different Coptotermes species from native and introduced ranges, and in both worker and reproductive castes. Phylogenetic analyses indicated congruent evolution between CAP and Coptotermes related genera; but phage diversification was not related to termite speciation."
