Published: May 2022

Sustainability is a concept that affects many sectors due to increased stakeholder pressure for both economic and political reasons. In 2010 “SOSTAIN” was born, the first sustainability protocol in this sector that allows you to know exactly the type of impact that the company has on the surrounding area and how to limit it based on the principle of Life Cycle Assessment. It is a protocol ready to open up too many local companies, whether they are producers of organic, biodynamic, natural, conventional wine and more; because what unites the actors of SOSTAIN is the desire to share agricultural best practices aimed at respecting the ecosystem and absolute transparency towards the consumer. The study that will be carried out will be to carry out a detailed analysis of costs and benefits to implement this protocol in Sicilian wineries, in particular “Principi di Butera” cellars are based in Butera (CL). The objective of the study is to support wineries towards a proactive perspective with an eye to a “greener” future, making sure that it undertakes to behave ethically and contribute to economic development, improving the quality of the wine at the same time.

Daylight is only the natural light available surrounding us which is mostly useful in outdoor use. Artificial lighting is used to a greater extent in the world for a variety of indoor as well as outdoor applications. The fundamental requirement of light is to see the objects in a dark time. Nowadays powerful light sources are developed to fulfill the fundamental requirement and the quality illumination. Quality lighting provides uniform distribution in space, good color rendering, and adequate light. The requirement of every task is different and the quality of lighting depends on a number of factors, so there must be a database available that will provide recommended values for a given task. Though there are several simulation software available for analysis of illumination, they are able to provide only information of illumination pattern based on user inputs. There is a need fora user-friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) which provides necessary parameter values for good lighting design and spectral power distribution of different LED (Light Emitting Diode) sources. The main aim of this work is to model and simulation of spectral characteristics of monochromatic and white LED. Develop a MATLAB-based GUI to select recommended values for different tasks according to Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) standards which helps lighting designers for selection of proper light sources. Uniform illumination is obtained and energy is saved by the integration of daylight with artificial light. A case study of LED tube-based glare-free illumination for the laboratory is also reported

Published: May 2022

The increasing expansion of Internet users has resulted in unwanted cyber concerns such as cyberbullying, hate speech, and a slew of others. This paper deals with the reviewing of different techniques used to detect hate speech by many scholars and researchers. Hate speech occurs when an individual or a group of individuals attack or use derogatory or discriminatory words towards a group of people based on characteristics such as origin, sexuality, ethnicity, religious background, socioeconomic status, race, gender, and other factors. When such action takes place on social networking sites, blogs, creative material, and other forms of online media, it is referred to as Online Hate speech [1]. Hate speech appears to be an explosive kind of communication that uses misunderstandings to promote a hate ideology. Hate speech targets a variety of protected characteristics, such as gender, religion, color, and disability.[2]. Hence it becomes to monitor every post and try to filter out hate speech spreading posts. Concerning this aspect, many techniques have been published using different aspects of machine learning and deep learning. Several attempts to categorize hate speech using machine learning have been performed, with this one focusing on the use of rudimentary NLP feature engineering approaches

Water pollution is a detrimental issue that can affect health, economy, society, flora, and fauna. Monitoring water quality is important to mitigate water pollution issues. The purpose of this research is to investigate several water quality monitoring methods based on electronics and optical sensing. Electronics and optical sensing are among common and popular methods used to monitor water quality. The smart platform is used to work together with electronics and optical sensors to assist users in controlling the system. Both methods have their own benefit such as electronics sensing being portable and easy to handle whereas optical sensing does not affect the water sample, leading to higher accuracy results. Thus, the selection of the suitable method depends on the consumer’s requirement, cost, budget, and time.
Fostering Religious Tolerance and Harmonization in Ghana: A Discussion on Efforts Made by Various Stakeholders
Authors: Adam Konadu , Mensah Bonsu Frederick , Amedorme Dorcas
Published: May 2022

Issues of religious diversity and interfaith relations take centre stage in today’s postmodern world. The contemporary world has highlighted the need for peace and communal solidity. The intense longing for peace and harmony has also become prevalent in the Ghanaian society. This article justifies that religion is capable of ensuring and stimulating that peace much desired through decent and formidable interfaith dialogue because the religious devotees in the country are more than those who claim not to belong to any religion. Such initiatives to ensure societal peace and harmony can either be communal or individualistic. Right from the past to the present, there have been individual and collaborative efforts to ensure and enhance religious tolerance, harmony and equanimity in Ghana. This study discussed some of the initiatives or efforts that have been made by selected governmental and religious institutions or bodies and individuals to foster religious tolerance and peace in religious pluralistic Ghana. It concluded that the peace that Ghana currently enjoys has not occurred by accident but by the efforts of the various religious groups and individuals discussed in the article. It recommends that these interfaith organizations put in more effort to become proactive and not reactive in order to make them relevant in public discourse on fostering religious peace.

Longitudinally Asymmetric Stratospheric Oscillation on a Tidally Locked Exoplanet
Authors: Cohen Maureen , Bollasina Massimo A. , Palmer Paul I. , Sergeev Denis E. , Boutle Ian A. , Mayne Nathan J. , Manners James
Published: May 2022

Using a three-dimensional general circulation model, we show that the atmospheric dynamics on a tidally locked Earth-like exoplanet, simulated with the planetary and orbital parameters of Proxima Centauri b, support a longitudinally asymmetric stratospheric wind oscillation (LASO), analogous to Earth’s quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO). In our simulations, the LASO has a vertical extent of 35–55 km, a period of 5–6.5 months, and a peak-to-peak wind speed amplitude of −70 to +130 m s−1 with a maximum at an altitude of 41 km. Unlike the QBO, the LASO displays longitudinal asymmetries related to the asymmetric thermal forcing of the planet and to interactions with the resulting stationary Rossby waves. The equatorial gravity wave sources driving the LASO are localized in the deep convection region at the substellar point and in a jet exit region near the western terminator, unlike the QBO, for which these sources are distributed uniformly around the planet. Longitudinally, the western terminator experiences the highest wind speeds and undergoes reversals earlier than other longitudes. The antistellar point only experiences a weak oscillation with a very brief, low-speed westward phase. The QBO on Earth is associated with fluctuations in the abundances of water vapor and trace gases such as ozone, which are also likely to occur on exoplanets if these gases are present. Strong fluctuations in temperature and the abundances of atmospheric species at the terminators will need to be considered when interpreting atmospheric observations of tidally locked exoplanets.
A Possible Gamma-Ray Enhancement Event in Tycho's Supernova Remnant
Authors: Xing Yi , Wang Zhongxiang , Zhang Xiao , Chen Yang
Published: May 2022

We report a possible γ-ray enhancement event detected from Tycho’s supernova remnant (SNR), the outcome of a type Ia supernova explosion that occurred in the year 1572. The event lasted for 1.5 yr and showed a factor of 3.6 flux increase mainly in the energy range of 4–100 GeV, while notably accompanied with two 478 GeV photons. Several young SNRs (including Tycho’s SNR) were previously found to show peculiar X-ray structures with flux variations in one- or several-year timescales, such an event at γ-ray energies is for the first time seen. The year-long timescale of the event suggests a synchrotron radiation process, but the hard γ-ray emission requires extreme conditions of either ultrahigh energies for the electrons up to ∼10 PeV (well above the cosmic-ray knee energy) or high inhomogeneity of the magnetic field in the SNR. This event in Tycho’s SNR is likely analogous to the γ-ray flares observed in the Crab Nebula, the comparably short timescales of them both requiring a synchrotron process, and similar magnetohydrodynamic processes such as magnetic reconnection would be at work as well in the SNR to accelerate particles to ultrarelativistic energies. The event, if confirmed, helps reveal the more complicated side of the physical processes that can occur in young SNRs.
Géopolitique de l’informe

Published: May 2022

Cet article, écrit à deux voix, se fonde sur notre expérience en tant que thérapeutes d’hommes exilés reçus au Comede (Comité pour la santé des exilé·e·s) ayant vécu des violences liées au genre en détention. Nous nous interrogeons sur les formes particulières de l’impact psychique de ces violences chez les hommes qui en sont victimes, particulièrement sur les traumas complexes, à partir de deux axes principaux. D’une part, du côté des sciences sociales, nous nous appuyons sur des théorisations du viol comme expression de la domination hétéro-patriarcale. D’autre part, du côté de la psychanalyse, nous mettons en avant la notion d’« informe » comme formation psychique inconsciente liée aux expériences traumatiques extrêmes. En dernier lieu, nous poursuivons le dialogue entre les disciplines pour penser le travail thérapeutique comme lieu de rencontre entre clinique et politique.
Quelle place pour le trauma dans le récit de l’adoption ?
Authors: Skandrani Sara , Harf Aurélie
Published: May 2022

À partir de l’analyse de plusieurs situations cliniques rencontrées dans le cadre d’une consultation d’adoption internationale, nous nous intéresserons à l’impact des expériences pré-adoptives traumatogènes, vécues par les enfants, sur les parents et leurs représentations de leur enfant. L’exploration du récit de l’adoption a permis de mettre en évidence l’effet sidérant, voire effractant de certains éléments de l’histoire pré-adoptive des enfants sur les parents et a contrario l’effet protecteur, voir anti-traumatique d’un recours à des représentations collectives et à leur potentiel narratif. Cette recherche clinique conclut à l’importance d’un accompagnement précoce des parents dans la possibilité d’une mise en récit de l’histoire de leur famille en construction.

« Les gens des îles voisines ». Ethnicisation des relations sociales et place des immigrés comoriens dans les mosquées de Mayotte
Authors: Bréant Hugo
Published: May 2022

Dans l’océan Indien, l’archipel des Comores est devenu indépendant en 1975 et l'île de Mayotte est maintenue dans l'ensemble national français en 1979 avant d’acquérir le statut de département français en 2011. Alors que les circulations entre les quatre îles ont été très importantes dans l’histoire de cet Archipel, ces changements statutaires ont instauré puis renforcé le contrôle des frontières maritimes par l’État français. Ces dernières années, ces frontières politiques se doublent de la construction de frontières sociales opposées à l’immigration comorienne, progressivement construite en problème public central et jugée responsable des difficultés de développement socio-économique de l’île. Jusqu’ici tenu à l’écart de ces logiques, l’espace religieux semble désormais de plus en plus marqué par l’ethnicisation des relations sociales. En s’appuyant sur une enquête postdoctorale menée en 2018, cet article analyse la structuration du culte musulman à Mayotte, qui valorise les savoirs religieux acquis hors de l’île, tout en favorisant la légitimité de leurs ancrages locaux. Dès lors, deux logiques se combinent (autochtonisation et altérisation) et placent les fidèles mahorais et comoriens en position inégale dans les mosquées, et surtout dans l’accès à l’imamat.
La migration de retour des Grecs d’ex-Union soviétique en Grèce. Réflexions sur les logiques diasporiques d’exclusion et d’appartenance
Authors: Kaurinkoski Kira
Published: May 2022

La question du « retour » des Grecs d’ex-Union soviétique découle de la conception de la nation grecque, mais elle était également motivée par des considérations économiques, géopolitiques et démographiques. En Grèce, ces migrants ont subi une marginalisation professionnelle et des clivages sociaux et culturels. L’établissement des réseaux associatifs et la formation des diasporas reversées notamment en marge des grandes villes sont des effets notables de ce « retour ». Cet article propose une réflexion sur les logiques d’appartenance et de différenciation au sein du groupe migrant. Il revient en particulier sur la politique migratoire grecque face à sa diaspora, ainsi que sur la terminologie, scientifique, officielle et d’usage quotidien, qui est utilisée pour décrire ce phénomène de « retour ». Comment les Grecs soviétiques ont-ils été perçus et reçus en Grèce, et comment est-ce qu’ils s’auto-identifient ? Quelles sont les nouvelles identités qui prennent forme à l’issue de l’expérience migratoire ? L’article repose sur des enquêtes de terrain conduites auprès des Grecs d’ex-URSS, des représentants des associations de migrants et des autorités en Ukraine, en Grèce et à Chypre entre 2001 et 2015.

Authors: Alhazmi Nahla
Published: May 2022

Nowadays, the availability of composite materials and their acceptable manufacturing cost, in addition to their high strength-to-weight ratio, has shifted the use of the materials from metal alloys to composite materials in the aircraft industry. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of wing natural frequencies and deflection with regard to three different composite materials - carbon fiber, glass fiber, and Kevlar fiber - was conducted, and the results were compared with conventional metal alloys aluminum2024 and 7075-T6, while taking into account the anisotropic behavior of the composite materials. The results indicate that the metal alloys aluminum 2024 and 7075-T6 have the best properties, and consists of the most suitable materials for aircraft wings compared with other composite materials. In addition, the deflection of the wing using AL2024 was about 0.549 unit length and for 7075-T6 was about 0.547 unit length, which was almost less than half of the deflections of other proposed composite materials which are 1.252, 1.389, 1.293 unit length for glass fiber, Kevlar fiber and carbon fiber, respectively.
Effective Medium Analysis of Stacked-Nanoparticles Array’s Optical Responses
Authors: Pambudi Muhammad Tegar , Wulandari Priastuti , Iskandar Alexander
Published: May 2022

Metallic nanoparticle-based material is currently implemented in many photonics-based applications such as biosensors, imaging, and color filter due to its remarkable properties called localized surface plasmon or LSP. Numerical methods are commonly used to calculate the optical responses arising from the nanostructure. However, a faster calculation can be provided by analytical methods. In this paper, we used an analytical calculation based on dipolar approximation and the transfer matrix method to calculate the optical responses of stacked-nanoparticles array on a dielectric substrate. Gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles embedded inside a dielectric medium are considered. To validate the results, the analytical model was benchmarked to a finite element method (FEM) calculation. We found that the absolute difference of the absorbance peak of the analytical model to FEM calculation is less than 2 nm with the volume fraction of ~20% and it becomes better with a lower volume fraction. The field distribution analysis shows that lower volume fraction structures lead to weaker near-field coupling, therefore concluding that the analytical model is suitable only for sparse structure. Experimental data also can be replicated from the spectral profile showing opportunities to use the analytical model in the application design stage.

Authors: Sarkar Debrup , Chetry Dharam Raj , Kumar Rakesh , Borah Pranjal , Samanta Sutanu , Teyi Nabam
Published: May 2022

Dry sliding wear behaviour of Silicon Carbide (SiC) filled glass-jute hybrid epoxy composite has been studied using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Taguchi method. RSM developed the regression model for wear loss (WL) and coefficient of friction (COF) as function of sliding velocity, filler content and normal load. Taguchi orthogonal array provided the design of experiment and optimization with sliding velocity, filler content and normal loads, as the control factors with three levels. The ‘smaller-is-better’ characteristic was used to calculate the S/N ratio based on the experimental data. The model accuracy of the developed regression models for WL and COF were obtained. ANOVA analysis was performed to determine the percentage contribution of various control factors on the WL and COF.
Development of Orthodontic Resin with Antibacterial Property against Biofilm of Respiratory Pathogens
Authors: Thaweboon Sroisiri , Thaweboon Boonyanit , Sopavanit Cherdkul
Published: May 2022

Orthodontic appliance made of resin is one of the main factors involving the shift of oral microbial community towards the source of pathogens by providing an extra site for adhesion and attachment of microorganisms to form biofilm associated with infections of multiple organs including respiratory tract. As a result, there is a demand for seeking of oral appliances with antimicrobial properties to reduce the risk of these infections. Here, vanillin (a principal flavoring agent with its antimicrobial property) has been incorporated to orthodontic resin and investigated the effect on biofilm formation of respiratory pathogens. The self-curing PMMA orthodontic resin samples (Siam Cement Group, Thailand) were fabricated depending on the percentage of vanillin adding (0.1% and 0.5% w/w vanillin). Resin without vanillin was used as a control. All samples were coated with sterile saliva collected from healthy volunteers. The bacterial biofilm formation assay was done by adding suspension (107 colony forming unit/mL) of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 5638, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 14990, Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 49619, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853 to the samples and incubated in shaking incubator (120 r/min) for 120 min at 37 °C to allow the adhesion of the bacteria. Afterwards, non-adherent bacterial cells were washed out and Brain Heart Infusion broth was added and further incubated for 24 h to enable the biofilm formation. The amount of vital biofilm was quantified by Cell Counting Kit WST-8 (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, USA). It was found that the inclusion of vanillin to resin decreased the biofilm formation of S. aureus, S. epidermidis, and P. aeruginosa whereas no effect was observed on S. pneumoniae. Both the 0.1% and 0.5% vanillin concentrations could significantly inhibit the biofilm of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa whereas only 0.5% vanillin showed the inhibitory effect on S. epidermidis. Up to 40% biofilm reduction was noticed with S. epidermidis and P. aeruginosa while that of S. aureus was about 30%. In conclusion, the present data demonstrate that the development of orthodontic PMMA resin incorporated with vanillin may be a possible candidate for fabricating of oral appliance with antimicrobial property against respiratory pathogens. This suggests that it could be useful for the prevention or management of respiratory infection related to bacterial biofilm formed on oral appliances.

Published: May 2022

Even though most information is digitized today, paper as a printing substrate is still essential. The quality of the paper depends on whether it has the properties required for its intended use, which will fundamentally rely on the raw materials used. Nowadays, the production of paper and board is increasingly focused on alternative non-wood raw materials. In this context, the main objective of this research is to improve the quality of prints on laboratory-made papers with supplementary barley pulp by coating the surface of the papers with titanium dioxide coating. Since laboratory-made papers were not subjected to the bleaching process and no additional surface treatments were used, TiO2-based coating proved to be one of the ways to improve the quality of the prints on such substrates. In this study, it was concluded that TiO2-based coating did not affect the colorimetric values of the black prints to the extent that it affected the colorimetric values of the magenta prints. However, density of printed inks was increased up to 14% for prints on laboratory-made papers with higher amount of barley pulp and TiO2-based coating in two layers.

Published: May 2022

This study introduced the aldehyde monomer derived from vanillin (4,4-[(1,4-phenylenedimethylene) dioxy] -bis (3-methoxybenzaldehyde), BA), followed by reaction with tris (2-aminoethyl) amine (TA) and diamine (DA) to prepare a series of polyimine films (BADT-X). By adjusting the ratio of TA and DA, BADT-X with different degrees of cross-linking can be obtained, thereby the performance of the film could be tuned. The physical results show that with the increase of TA content, the mechanical performance of BADT-X has been improved from 31.20 to 45.95MPa, furthernore, the degradation temperature (Td5%) increased from 166.66 to 272.80 °C, and the char yield of all BADT-x was more than 45% at 600 °C. Meanwhile, the quick reshape properties of this polyimine film can be accomplished without any external catalyst in 5 mins at elevated temperature.

Published: May 2022

The goal of this study was to evelaute the preoperative anxiety in children and adolescents and to identify some of the risk factors associated with the incidence of anxiety in 9–18 years old group. Children and adolescents 9–18 years old hospitalized the night before elective surgeries were analyzed in terms of incidence and severity of anxiety using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) measure. Of the 164 patients, 111 (67.6%) suffered from preoperative anxiety. The incidence of anxiety in children aged 9–12 was 2.88 times the anxiety of those aged 12–18 (OR = 2.88) (1.65, 5.98). Moreover, the incidence of anxiety in only children was 0.65 times that of children with siblings (OR = 0.78) (0.11,2.93) , and in patients with a history of hospitalization, the incidence was 1.85 times the stress in children without hospitalization history (OR = 1.85)(1.31,3.99); finally, the incidence of anxiety in children of higher socioeconomic status was lower compared with those of lower socioeconomic status (OR = 0.13) (0.08,0.35). Having close frend or family in the healthcare staff decreased the prevalence (OR = 0.64 (0.23,1.79) and severity of anxiety (47.02 ± 5.48 vs. 54.18 ± 7.18) (P-value = 0.001). There was no relationship between gender and the incidence of anxiety (OR = 1). Incidence of preoperative anexiety in foriner was1.72 times of persion patients (OR=1.72) (0.99,4.25). The severity of anxiety was lower in boys (46.22 ± 6.68) compared with girls (52.55 ± 7.52) (P-value = 0.002) and lower in patients of medium-to-high socioeconomic status (43.64 ± 5.45) compared with those with lower socioeconomic status (49.66 ± 6.49) (P-value = 0.003). There was no relationship between being an only child and severity of anxiety (P-value = 0.54) (48.31 ± 5.05 vs. 48.12 ± 6.81). However, anxiety was more severe in patients with a history of hospitalization (50.55 ± 4.64) (49.2 ± 6.23) (P-value = 0.09). Severity of anexiety was not dependent to nationality of patients(P-value = 0.6) .Taken together, our data suggest that various methods should be used to reduce anxiety and associated complications, regarding the high prevalence of anxiety in mentioned groups of children and adolescents.

Superrigidity, measure equivalence, and weak Pinsker entropy
Authors: Bowen Lewis , Tucker-Drob Robin D.
Published: May 2022

We show that the class

\mathscr{B}

, of discrete groups which satisfy the conclusion of Popa’s cocycle superrigidity theorem for Bernoulli actions, is invariant under measure equivalence. We generalize this to the setting of discrete probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) groupoids, and as a consequence we deduce that any nonamenable lattice in a product of two noncompact, locally compact second countable groups must belong to

\mathscr{B}

. We also introduce a measure-conjugacy invariant called weak Pinsker entropy and show that, if

G

is a group in the class

\mathscr{B}

, then weak Pinsker entropy is an orbit-equivalence invariant of every essentially free p.m.p. action of

G

The Archbishop Who Fell in Love with Martyrdom: Characterization in Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral
Authors:   Department of English Language and Literature, An-Najah National University, Hammad Iman Morshed Mohammad
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to analyze the characters of T.S Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral in an endeavor to prove that Eliot’s characterization in the play is not to be tackled using conventional ways of analysis. Embracing these ways in the previous studies of the play resulted in a faulty assessment of characters as lacking psychological depth and dramatic tension. The paper argues that the method of character depiction employed in the play is meant to produce a ritualistic work celebrating Becket’s martyrdom and glorifying the ideas it stands for. Since martyrdom is the central idea that the play revolves around, glorification of the individual is not expected, for what it requires is self-abnegation or self-erasure. Hence, the study proves that Thomas Becket did the right thing for the right cause after passing all the tests of faith similar to those described in morality plays and transcending the strong temptations he underwent. It is evident that Becket fell in love with martyrdom as an act of redemption, but his sacrificial death is far from being suicidal because he did not allow the powers of temptations to lead him astray.

Published: May 2022

We will analyze how women subject to violence in Morocco legitimize their discourse through the use of one legitimation techniques called rationalization, the aim of which is to establish a mode of argumentation that victimizes them and demonizes the violent husbands. The site from which the data is extracted is Medi 1TV’s show “Qesset Nnass” (the story of people). This will be done within the framework of critical discourse analysis in which we will decompose the women’s narratives by referring to Fairclough’s three elements: the text, discursive practice, and context and to Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive model.
Hydro-diplomacy and the prospects of environmental peacebuilding between Pakistan and India
Authors: Aslam Bilal
Published: May 2022

Pakistan and India have a history of animosity on many issues including transboundary water sharing but in 1960 both states agreed on sharing the rivers of the Indus basin by signing the Indus Water Treaty (IWT). IWT ensures sustained cooperation on the issue of transboundary water sharing and sets the parameters for the hydro-diplomacy between Pakistan and India. In recent times, mutual vulnerabilities around the environmental issues and the water scarcity, have again brought in a possibility of extending cooperation on water sharing by revisiting the IWT. Consequently, the hydro-diplomacy has the potential of spill over effect for the settlement of outstanding disputes between Pakistan and India thus paving the way for the regional peace and integration of South Asia. The paper reviews the literature on hydro-diplomacy and incorporates the document analysis to analyse the efficacy of the principles of cooperation laid down in IWT and evaluates the forces that have been behind the treaty and the possibilities for the future of environmental peacebuilding between Pakistan and India. The paper also evaluates the hydro-diplomacy as characterized by the power dynamics, hegemony, and the nature of political and economic relations between Pakistan and India.

The study investigated the usage and influence of social media among library and information science undergraduates in Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for this study. The population for the study was 520 undergraduates. A self-designed instrument entitled: “Social Media Usage and Influence Questionnaire (SMUIQ)” was used for data collection. The results showed that WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube were the most used social media platforms by the students. The undergraduates used social media for socialisation, information and academic purposes. Internet addiction, distraction, anti-social behaviour and cyber bullying were the influence of social media on the undergraduates. The study recommended among others that lecturers should adopt online learning by giving assignments on social media platforms. This will help to instil the habit of using these media platforms for academic work by the undergraduates. Also, University authorities should organize seminars to enlighten students on the negative aspects of social media sites.
Utilization Of Fermented Tofu Waste As Additional Feed On The Growth Of Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Authors: Rizki Melisa Dwi , Mukti Retno Cahya
Published: May 2022

The high cost of commercial feed is a problem that many fish farmers face which results in lower profits. Therefore, it needs additional feed others with a relatively cheap price, but do not inhibit the growth of fish to harvest. Tofu waste which has crude protein of 21.66% so that it can meet the nutritional needs of fish, but tofu waste also has crude fiber of 20.26% so that tofu waste needs to be fermented with probiotics because probiotics can break down undigested components and increase digestibility so that the use of feed become more efficient and growth becomes more optimal. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of tofu waste fermented with probiotics as additional feed to increase growth in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This research was conducted in September – October 2020. This study used two treatments, namely P0: Control (commercial feed) and P1: the use of 50% commercial feed and 50% additional feed in the form of tofu waste fermented with probiotics. Parameters observed were growth, feed efficiency, and survival of tilapia. The results showed that the P0 treatment resulted in absolute length and absolute weight growth of 0.76 cm and 0.64 g, respectively, feed efficiency 43.43%, and tilapia survival of 88%, while P1 resulted in absolute length growth and absolute weights were 1.11 cm and 1.3 g, respectively, feed efficiency was 82.12%, and tilapia survival was 84%.
