Efecto fitotóxico del material particulado PM2,5 y PM10 en la ciudad de Juliaca, Perú
Authors: Tapia Rojas Ever Jaime
Published: July 2023

Atmospheric particles (PM) are a part of air pollution. Depending on the aerodynamic diameter, the particles can be classified into PM10 and fine aerosols (PM2.5). The toxicity of these particles is determined by numerous factors including chemical composition and size. Plants are directly exposed to airborne pollutants. The harmful effects of airborne particles on higher plants include morphological, physicochemical and biochemical alterations. In this sense, this study tries to determine the phytotoxic effects of atmospheric particulates, a product of atmospheric pollution, in the city of Juliaca in Peru, which has a high environmental pollution load. With these statistics, the effect of PM2.5 and PM10 particulates on three species was studied: Calendula officinalis, Schinus terebinthifolia and Physalis peruviana. The results indicate concentrations of 9.5 and 33.20 μg /m3 respectively of PM2.5 and PM10 particulates for different selected control points. On the other hand, the chemical analysis determined the concentration of the different heavy metals for PM2.5 and PM10 particles, finding the following order of concentration Pb>Mn>Cr>>Cd. Then, using these two sources of particle size, solutions at different concentrations and dilutions were prepared to determine their phytotoxic effect on the percentage of germination and root size in the three species. The results found revealed that, despite the presence of various heavy metals in concentrations, in general, a marked influence on the germination process or root formation was not observed with respect to the control group.

Optimal Tilt Angle of Photovoltaic Panels: A Case Study in the City of Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Gomes Alexandro , Oliveira Maria Francisca do Nascimento , Musci Marcelo
Published: July 2023

The optimal tilt angle of photovoltaic panels plays a crucial role in energy generation. However, the accumulation of dust on solar panels can significantly impact their performance and efficiency, leading to a reduction in energy production. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the effect of dust deposition on the optimal tilt angle of solar panels. Regarding panel installation, it is often observed that panels are positioned to follow the natural slope of the roofs, disregarding the optimal angle for maximizing solar radiation utilization. Numerous studies have investigated the impact of dust accumulation on the performance of photovoltaic panels and the optimal inclination angle for different regions and seasons. This study aims to analyze the optimal tilt angle of photovoltaic panels for maximum energy generation, considering undesired effects such as dust, dirt, water droplets, and other atmospheric factors. The authors have proposed an equation to calculate the optimal tilt angle of photovoltaic panels based on a case study conducted in different Rio de Janeiro City regions. The methodology employed in this study involves estimating solar incidence on the surface of the photovoltaic panels using the authors' proposed equation, which considers the latitude and longitude of the panel installation location. The results obtained were validated using software that generates hourly solar radiation data. The results indicate that an inclination of 30 degrees, calculated using the proposed equation, resulted in a 2% deviation from the optimal theoretical angle.

Authors: Luti-Mallei Rose Mueni , Gakunga Daniel Komo , Nungu Musembi
Published: July 2023

This paper focuses on student leaders’ participation in school peer counseling programs as a valuable strategy of student leaders’ integration in school governance. Intensive involvement of student leaders in school peer counseling programs is a worthwhile link between the students’ body, teachers and the school administration. It is an opportunity for the student leaders to interact and share with the students’ body as they air their views and concerns on academic and discipline issues in the school. Utilization of the information gathered from peer counseling forums by the school administrators in decision making translates to impressive learners’ discipline and academic performance. The study was carried out in Machakos sub-county, Machakos County, Kenya to investigate the impact of student leaders’ participation in school peer counseling programs on learners’ discipline in public and private secondary schools. The study was guided by two objectives; to establish the status of student leaders’ participation in school peer counseling programs and establish the impact on learners’ discipline. The study embraced a descriptive survey design. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling were employed to get the Sample size. Data were collected using questionnaires for the students and teachers and interview schedules for the deputy principals, principals, Board of Management (BoM) chairpersons, and directors of private schools.  Further, relevant documents were scrutinized for triangulation of the information provided by the respondents. The data collected was processed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 21. The statistics were tabulated and subjected to regression analysis using ANOVA and coefficient models.The study established student leaders’ participation in school peer counseling programs as a golden chance for student leaders to interact with fellow learners’ as they express views and suggestions on school routines, rules, and regulations. Action on gathered information created a peaceful school environment suitable for mentoring learners .The result was improved learners' discipline. In contrast, student leaders who did not actively and openly interact with other learners missed an opportunity to gather information on learners' views and hence did not identify real issues affecting learners for the school administration action. The study concluded that participation of student leaders in school peer counseling was significantly higher at (p) 0.003 than student leaders not participating in school peer counseling programs (p) 0.047. Hence the null hypothesis was rejected. The study recommended that school principals and other school administrators should organize frequent school peer counseling programs and encourage student leaders and other learners to air their views.
Best Teaching and Learning Approaches through the Eyes of Thai EFL Preservice Teachers
Authors: Namsaeng Pasara , Thuratham Wadinlada
Published: July 2023

The best teaching and learning approaches have been controversial since the origins of language teaching and learning. This study aims to explore the Thai EFL preservice teachers’ perceptions towards the best teaching and learning approaches through the written test. A qualitative research design and purposive sampling were employed to collect data from 46 participants who completed teacher training for at least one semester. Research ethics were obtained prior to data collection. The research instrument was a 150-word written test from 46 participants. The results show that there were 17 features of the best teaching and learning desired by Thai EFL preservice teachers, which can be put into four aspects: lesson, classroom environment, teachers, and students. In detail, lessons should be learned in a group setting using meaningful, real-life situations, simplified language, communication practice, language practice, and thinking practices. The classroom environment should be active, fun, and enjoyable, allowing for freely expressing ideas and opinions and peer-supported learning. Teachers should scaffold, increase motivation, and provide mental support to students. Finally, students must be able to manage their own emotions, have a sense of control over their own learning, and become autonomous learners. The mentioned features are likely to comply with Communicative Language Teaching (CLT). The reasons that the participants weighed in on this approach can probably be due to ready-to-use materials to be used in different communicative situations, exciting and motivating approaches with active activities, and technology-supported language learning, leading to idealized pedagogical implementation.

Authors:   Bono Regional Hospital, Sunyani, Owusu Anita
Published: July 2023

This current study looked at the risk factors and preventive measures among persons living with HIV who access ART care at the Sunyani Bono Regional Hospital. A cross-sectional study was used because it simultaneously assesses both outcome and exposure variables. 340 people out of the projected 5430 in the municipality were sampled. Convenience sampling was used to select currently well PLWHA attending the ART clinic in the Bono Regional Hospital for the study. The most prevalent potential risk factors identified were lack of purification of drinking water (88.5%), farming and gardening activities (42.9%), handling cat feces without personal protection (21.0%), not washing fruits before eating (3.1%), not washing vegetables before cooking (1.2%), and an unquantified consumption of undercooked meat. The preventive measures assessed were the use of co-trimoxazole preventive therapy (CPT) and antiretroviral therapy (ART), adherence to which was tested for their relationships with socio-demographic characteristics and challenges to adherence at the first four levels of the social-ecological model. Strong predictors of adherence were occupation and satisfaction with ARVs. However, in this study, no significant relationship was found with the multivariate analysis. Similarly, no significant relationship was identified between age and adherence to CPT at any stage of the analysis in this research study. It is recommended that clinicians who are involved in ART care encourage patients in all categories of occupations to make their treatment a priority since their health is vital to all other pursuits in their lives.

SOLUCIÓN DE UNA EDP COMPLETA INHOMOGÉNEA E IMPLEMENTACIÓN DE CONDICIONES DE FRONTERA MEDIANTE PASEOS ALEATORIOS
Authors: SUXO MAMANI V. FRANZ
Published: July 2023

In a Partial Differential Equation (PDE), the inhomogeneous term describes different physical systems that contain sources or sinks such as: charge, matter or energy, while the term that does not have a derivative (zero order term) is related to diverse physical processes such as: Newton cooling, Lambert absorption or radioactive disintegration among others. There are stochastic methods such as random walks to solve equations, for example, Suxo (2011) formulated a theorem applied exclusively to homogeneous PDEs, without taking into account the zero order term. Therefore, in order to extend the study to several physical phenomena, in this work we reformulate that theorem taking into account the zero order term within an inhomogeneous PDE. In addition, we implement the study of the Dirichlet, Neumann and Mixed boundary conditions. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the study by comparing the results obtained with analytical solutions of the Poisson, Fick and Fourier equations.

This research delves into the practice of fasting in Buddhism, specifically focusing on Vihara Karuna Mukti in Bandung, Indonesia, and its implications for mental well-being. Fasting is a religious practice observed in various faiths, including Buddhism, and this study aims to explore its significance within this particular context. Using a descriptive qualitative research approach, the author investigates the practice of fasting in Buddhism, employing data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that at Vihara Karuna Mukti, fasting is observed on specific dates according to the Buddhist calendar, including the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd days of the lunar month, as well as by the monks who fast daily. Buddhists are permitted to consume food from morning until noon, approximately from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM, after which they abstain from eating until the following day. However, they are still allowed to drink water during the fasting period. Additionally, adherence to Atthasila, which encompasses eight virtues, is expected during fasting. The study concludes that the practice of fasting among Buddhists at Vihara Karuna Mukti holds implications for mental well-being when approached with sincerity. Fasting aids in cultivating self-control, promoting a sense of inner calmness, and nurturing virtues such as patience and honesty. It highlights the transformative potential of fasting as a means to enhance mental and spiritual aspects of life beyond religious boundaries. Overall, this research sheds light on the serenity of fasting in Buddhism and its positive impact on mental well-being, providing valuable insights into the interplay between religious practices and personal growth within the context of Vihara Karuna Mukti.
Harmonizing Wisdom: Exploring the Synchronicity of Taoism and Maitreya Buddhism in Indonesia's Pluralistic Tapestry
Authors: Ayu Pratiwi Indah
Published: July 2023

This article aims to explore the parallels between Taoism and Maitreya Buddhism, focusing on their teachings of wisdom. To achieve this, qualitative research methods such as interviews, observation, and documentation were employed for data collection. The research findings showcase the inheritance of beliefs and practices from the White Lotus sect within Maitreya Buddhism, a sect deeply influenced by Taoist teachings. The syncretism of Taoist beliefs within Maitreya Buddhism is evident through the existence of the White Lotus sectarian influence. Moreover, this study unveils shared historical beliefs that serve as a spiritual link between humans, Earth, and heaven. Both Taoism and Maitreya Buddhism emphasize the importance of truth teachings in connecting these realms. Additionally, the convergence between the two traditions lies in their belief systems centered on moral ethics for creation and salvation. Maitreya Buddhism recognizes the future coming of Maitreya Buddha, who will descend to Earth to save humanity from the negative impact of misguided teachings, while Taoism also acknowledges the Enlightening Teacher. This research offers valuable insights into the intertwining of Taoism and Maitreya Buddhism in the diverse religious landscape of Indonesia. The parallels found in their teachings of wisdom and shared beliefs provide a deeper appreciation of the spiritual interconnectedness in this pluralistic society.

La incorporación del ecocidio al Estatuto de Roma: ¿Una nueva herramienta para combatir la crisis climática?
Authors: González Hernández María Teresa
Published: July 2023

El daño infligido a los ecosistemas requiere de más herramientas legales que contribuyan al cumplimiento de los tratados que tutelan el medio ambiente. Una de estas herramientas es el derecho penal a través de la tipificación del ecocidio a nivel internacional. Diversas voces han propuesto enmendar el Estatuto de Roma con el objeto de extender la jurisdicción de la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI) al ecocidio, considerándolo como un crimen contra la paz, la seguridad y el bienestar de la humanidad. A diferencia de los cuatro delitos actualmente bajo el mandato de la Corte, el nuevo no tendría un enfoque antropocéntrico, es decir no se centraría solo en el bienestar de los seres humanos, sino que tendría al medio ambiente en el centro de la justicia penal internacional. El marco jurídico actual permite a la CPI enjuiciar daños ambientales como una extensión de los crímenes de guerra, lo cual es insuficiente cuando se presenten daños no vinculados a acciones bélicas. El presente trabajo propone que incluir el ecocidio en el Estatuto de Roma permitiría a la CPI investigar casos vinculados a la crisis climática en los que hubieran participado individuos de manera intencional, imprudente o negligente, en tiempos de guerra o paz.

Authors: Alvarez Ramirez Lorenzo , Arteaga-Salazar Gabriela , Sánchez-Cervantes Alejandra
Published: July 2023

When collecting accurate physiological data, it is important to eliminate human interference and have a continuous recording. Particularly important in wild animals, non-invasive methods for measuring body temperature can be useful in monitoring health status and researching environmental and climatic effects. The aim of this study was to describe two methods for automatic recording of body temperature by means of a vaginal device in red deer (Cervus elaphus). Automatic thermal recording devices (iButton) were placed adhered to a vaginal sponge (10 animals, 10 days) and/or CIDR-G (13 animals, 10 days); all females were xylazine sedated first. All devices were successfully recovered and only one of them failed. In all cases, the devices recorded a rhythmic pattern of body temperature, and no major inconveniences were observed, suggesting that the iButton device can be successfully used in cases where continuous body temperature recording is required without any mayor interference caused by the handling itself.

Published: July 2023

Violence against women is very disturbing and causes injustice to the victims. Women are often victims of violence, because they are seen as weak and unable to fight the perpetrators. One of the causes of violence against women is gender inequality which creates unequal power relations between men and women. Unfortunately, this condition is often not realized by women because of the wrong understanding of what is considered as nature, which is gender. For this reason, it is necessary to educate the public, so that women no longer experience subordination which makes them vulnerable to becoming victims. Thus, violence against women can be minimized. Through the Muhammadiyah Development Partnership Program (PKPM), training is packaged that can educate MHH 'Aisyiyah administrators’ representatives from branches throughout the city of Medan to better understand gender and violence against women. The method used in this community service activity is training which begins with orientation and pre-test to the participants. The activity ended with a post-test. The post-test results showed an increase in participants' understanding of gender, forms of gender inequality, as well as knowledge about violence against women and efforts to prevent and deal with it.

Therefore, PkM implementers can assist the community to be motivated to optimize agricultural products. The community can develop local potential and community creativity. People can be innovated to live clean, healthy and have a high spirit of cooperation

Kegiatan mencari ikan di laut adalah sebagian mata pencaharian masyarakat pesisir pantai. Pada kondisi melaut banyak sekali kendala–kendala yang dialami oleh nelayan salah satunya adalah ketika mesin mengalami lose compression yang menyebabkan matinya kerja mesin sehingga nelayan akan kesulitan untuk perpindah posisi maupun jika ingin mendarat. Untuk itu, pengabdian masyarakat ini dilakukan untuk membantu para nelayan dalam mengetahui gejala maupun gangguan yang dialami oleh mesin yang mereka gunakan pada kapal dengan cara merawat sekaligus maintenance yang akan dilakukan ketika mendapati permasalahan. Masyarakat Pesisir Belawan adalah salah satu pusat ekonomi dalam bidang kelautan yang memproduksi aneka ragam olahan laut baik makanan maupun hiasan yang berada di Sumatera Utara. Dari hasil pengamatan di lapangan dan wawancara langsung kepada Ketua Paguyuban Nelayan setempat, terdapat tiga aspek yang menjadi fokus pada program pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini yaitu permasalahan yang terjadi pada mesin, penanganan yang akan dilakukan, dan kondisi perawatan mesin. Dengan adanya penyuluhan yang dilakukan diharapkan para nelayan mampu memahami dan merawat kondisi mesin kapal mereka guna meminimalisir adanya kendala saat berada di lautan, serta dapat meningkatkan hasil laut bahan pangan maupun produk olahan hasil laut untuk memenuhi permintaan konsumen.
