Published: June 2021

Penggunaan pupuk organik di kalangan petani masih perlu ditingkatkan karena   masih sangat sedikit petani yang mengaplikasikan pupuk organik untuk kebutuhan budidaya dilapangan, sehingga dampak terhadap penggunaan pupuk kimia yang terus- menerus dan melebihi ambang dosis pemakaian yang dianjurkan. Pemberian pupuk kimia yang terus-menerus memberikan dampak negatif terhadap kondisi tanah dalam jangka waktu yang cukup panjang. Solusi untuk mengurangi penggunaan pupuk kimia secara berlebihan adalah dengan memanfaatkan limbah-limbah sisa panen yang biasanya dibuang kemudian diolah dan dijadikan pupuk organik. Limbah kacang tanah merupakan salah satu limbah sisa panen yang dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi pupuk organik dimana pupuk organik kacang tanah mengandung unsur hara makro dan mikro yang lengkap. Rendahnya tingkat pengetahuan dan keterampilan petani mengenai pemanfaatan limbah sebagai pupuk organik perlu dijadikan prioritas dalam kegiatan penyuluhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sejauh mana tingkat kapasitas petani dalam pemanfaatan limbah kacang tanah sebagai pupuk organik, faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi tingkat kapasitas petani serta strategi apa saja yang dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas petani dalam pemanfaatan limbah sebagai pupuk organik. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Desa Purbayani Kecamatan Caringin Kabupaten Garut pada tanggal 13 april samapi dengan 30 Juni 2020. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 36 orang petani kacang tanah dengan teknik pengambilan sampel yaitu quota sampling. Peubah penelitian ini terdiri dari karakteristik petani, dan frekuensi penyuluhan.

In the maternity cycle post natal period is a danger time, because maternal & also new born deaths occur during this period, particularly just after the childbirth. So postnatal care in the first hour & days after childbirth could stop the mass of these deaths. To find the knowledge about postnatal care use among mothers in selected urban communities. It was a descriptive type of cross sectional study conducted purposively in selected 200 mothers who completed their puerperium period and had child birth within 3 months. Data was collected by self administered questionnaire. The study was conducted in selected vaccination centers of Mohakhali, Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur. The total period of study was 1 year from January to December 2014. Among 200 respondents them mean age was 25.02(±SD 6.53) years. Majority 184(92 %) were literate and 67% were housewife. About 93(46.5%) had 3-4 members in their family. 170(85%) were Muslims. About 191 (95.5%) had knowledge about PNC and 187(93.5%) used PNC. 106(56.7%) were used PNC for routine follow up. The respondent who knew about PNC more used that care than who had no knowledge about that (p<0.05). This study assessed the knowledge of mothers on their use of post natal care. The findings of the study indicated that postnatal service was quite satisfactory but still some intervention needed. Regular monitoring and supervision would certainly improve the quality of postnatal care service in Bangladesh.

Published: June 2021

Uterine fibroids are the most common gynaecological disorder, classically requiring surgery when symptomatic. Although attempts at finding a nonsurgical cure date back to centuries, it is only around the middle of the last century that serious attempts at a medical treatment were carried out. Initially, both progestins and estrogen–progestin combinations have been utilized, although proof of their usefulness is lacking. A major step forward was achieved when peptide analogues of the GnRH were introduced, first those with super agonist properties and subsequently those acting as antagonists. Because both types of analogues produce hypoestrogenism, their use is limited to a maximum of 6 months and, so they can’t be used routinely but utilized as an adjuvant treatment before surgery with overall good results. Over the last decade, new, nonpeptidic, orally active GnRH-receptor blockers Elagolix and another development of selective progesterone receptor modulators, sometimes referred to as “antiprogestins of choice is Ulipristal acetate are promising.Large clinical trials have proven the effectiveness of Ulipristal in the long-term medical therapy of fibroids, caution must taken for liver complications. All selective progesterone receptor modulators produce unique endometrial changes that are today considered benign, reversible, and without negative consequences. Long-term medical treatment of fibroids seems possible today, especially in premenopausal women. Surgical treatments are myomectomy, radiofrequency ablation procedure, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound myolysis are effective and reserved for the women who desires to keep uterus, and morcellation . Still Hysterectomy is the definitive treatment for fibroid and the techniques of surgery is inclining towards minimum invasive surgery.

Published: June 2021

Historically, the health status of the people of Bangladesh has been greatly influenced by communicable diseases. Infant mortality, maternal mortality, life expectancy and many other health indicators are determined by diseases like cholera, malaria, kala-azar, tetanus and diphtheria. Contamination of water, prevalence of vectors, poor nutritional status and poor hygienic behaviour increase people’s vulnerability to sickness and death when exposed to various communicable diseases. In recent years, however, measures including provision of safe water, better nutritional interventions, vector management, and strengthened immunization efforts brought improvement in health scenario of the country.

Health service is a basic requirement for every human being and it is liability of government to ensure adequate medical facilities to the people. People involvement is central to all aspects of human development of which health is one. During the last two decades it becomes obvious that people’s participation is not only beneficial but essential in the pursuit of better health objectives. According to the Alma-Ata conference in 1978, community participation was described as an essential component of primary health care.

In the recent years dengue fever has become global public health concern as there has a dramatic increase of cases of dengue in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, predominantly in urban and rural areas. A community based cross sectional study was conducted among purposively selected 347 participants to ascertain the knowledge, awareness and practices on dengue fever in rural (n=196) and urban (n=151) communities of the Sylhet division, Bangladesh. Mosquito bite as mode of spread (61.22%, 82.12%), Aedes mosquito as the vector (40.83%, 64.52%), day as biting time (40.83%, 64.52%), stagnant water as breeding place (58.16%, 74.83%) and removal of water stagnation as eliminations of breeding place (40.31%, 64.90%) was mainly reported by study participants respectively in rural and urban communities. Fever (53.7%, 68.27%) was identified as a leading symptom of dengue fever. Using of bed nets (61.73%) was a conjoint recognition in rural whereas window screen (40.40%) in urban as effective measures for controlling mosquito bite. Besides preventive measures like use of bed nets (47.96%, 27.81%), window screen (7.14%, 48.34%) and for control measures removal of water stagnation (31.12%, 58.94%) was mostly utilized method in both settings. The awareness on dengue fever found good in both rural and urban communities but knowledge and preventive practices were considerably low which is predominant in rural. It could be improved through increase community participation and educational campaigns.

Understanding Students’ Perspectives on Teachers’ Personality
Authors: Hidayat Muhamad Taufik
Published: June 2021

Teacher’s personal trait is critical because it may ominously affect students’ motivation in learning. However, some teachers remain unaware of its significance. It was evident in the students’ statements stating that they often had to learn with moody teachers who, as a result, ruined their learning motivation. The present study aims to explore the students’ perspectives on the EFL teacher’s personalities that influence the students’ motivation. To achieve the objective, the study utilized case study design in which the data were collected through semi-structured interview conducted to six senior high school students. The data were then analyzed by following Miles and Huberman’s (1994) framework. The results showed that all respondents shared agreement on the teacher’s personalities that they prefered. They felt happy and motivated when they learned with humble, friendly, kind, caring, patient, and humorous teachers. The results of this study may help the EFL teachers consider their personality as one of the vital aspects that could affect the students’ learning motivation. EFL teachers should pay more attention to their attitudes towards the students. In addition, the results suggest that policy makers should formulate rules that encourage teachers to not only focus on their hard skills but also their soft skills such as good personalities.

Kenobi Versioning
Authors: Bollinger Terry
Published: June 2021

Kenobi versioning provides small online publishers with a simple, unified approach to naming, updating, and citing publications. However, it is easy to generalize to any scale of publication. Each document in a group is named using its date of creation or inception. This inception date is then combined with the group name variants to create the names and addresses that always point to the document’s latest version. Snapshots of how the current document once looked, called obsoletes, replace versions. Kenobi names and addresses are compact, unique, durable, human-readable, and DOI compatible, and help maintain a simple relationship between document names, addresses, and citations.

Erasing History?
Authors: Baxter Claire
Published: June 2021

Following work on a master’s thesis about relocating monuments, the author reflects on the way that public monuments form an archaeological record of a society, arguing that by thinking of monuments as archaeology rather than history, viewers are encouraged to see the objects as a living record of society, rather than as historical objects about the individuals or events being memorialised. As with any archaeology, recording the artefacts and their contexts is also important, and these concepts are explored with regards to statues and public monuments.
'Remember Aesi':
Authors: Lindsey Kiera
Published: June 2021

In this article I draw upon a definition of ‘dialogical memorial’ offered by Brad West to offer an experimental artist's brief that outlines the various ways that a contemporary monument to the colonial artist, Adelaide Eliza Scott Ironside (1831-1867), could ‘talk back’ to the nineteenth-century statues of her contemporaries, and ‘converse’ with more recent acts of history making. In contrast to the familiar figure of the individual hero, which we associate with the statuary of her age, I suggest a group monument that acknowledges the intimate intergenerational female network which shaped Aesi's life and also ‘re-presents’ – a term coined by the historian Greg Dening – several native born and convict women from the Georgian, Regency and Victorian eras who influenced her life. Instead of elevating Aesi upon a plinth, I recommend grounding this group monument on Gadigal country and planting around it many of the Australian Wildflowers she painted in ways that draw attention to the millennia-old Indigenous uses of the same plants. And finally, by situating Aesi’s monument in the Outer Domain (behind the New South Wales Art Gallery in Sydney’s Botanic Gardens and to the east of the Yurong Pennisula, near Woolloomooloo Bay), in an area where she once boldly assumed centre stage before a large male audience in a flamboyant moment of her own theatrical history-making, I argue that this memorial will have the capcity to speak for itself in ways that challenge the underepresentation of colonial women in Sydney's statuary, abd, as West suggests, do much to ‘alter the stage on which Sydney's colonial history 'is narrated and performed’.

Making Public History:
Authors: Kean Hilda
Published: June 2021

In June 2020 Black Lives Matter had become prominent in the USA and was taken further in various countries . This included opposition to certain statues and memorials , such as those previously supporting slavery. Such matters were raised in Britain, although both disputes in the past and changes to statues and memorials had previously taken place, for example in Lancaster. Within relatively political progressive places, like Bristol, some disputed memorials had remained. Some press coverage almost implied that there were new recognitions of unknown events even dating back to the early nineteenth century. However, such debates had not been unprecedented. Further, in local disputes or through many past anti racist action and in positive historical school curricula, political and historical positions have been forgotten. Attention should be drawn by public historians to former radical stances and actions. Simply observing and just seeing local stances as new events means being unaware of past activities or ignoring them.

Published: June 2021

Abstract

In recent years there has been ongoing controversy in the United States regarding monuments and place names commemorating the Confederate cause in the American Civil War. The following discussion focuses on Monument Avenue in the former Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. This was one of the most prominent locations of Confederate commemoration until statues along the avenue began to be removed during 2020. While also needing to be seen in the immediate context of events in mid-2020, these removals followed a process of investigation and consultation carried out by Richmond City Council. This produced a report which is now a useful resource for a case study investigating Monument Avenue and the broader issues its history helps to illustrate.
Development of a bioprocess technology for the production of Vibrio midae, a probiotic for use in abalone aquaculture
Authors:   , Moonsamy Ghaneshree
Published: June 2021

The abalone industry of South Africa is under severe pressure due to illegal harvesting and poaching of this seafood delicacy. These abalones are harvested excessively; as a result, these animals do not have a chance to replace themselves in their habitats, ensuing in a drastic decrease in natural stocks of abalone. Abalone, has an extremely slow growth rate, and takes approximately four years to reach a size that is market acceptable, therefore, it was imperative to investigate methods to boost the overall growth rate and immunity of the animal. The University of Cape Town (UCT) began research, which resulted in the isolation of two microorganisms, a yeast isolate Debaryomyces hansenii and a bacterial isolate Vibrio midae, from the gut of the abalone and characterised them for their probiotic abilities. This work resulted in an internationally competitive concept technology that was patented. The next stage of research was to develop a suitable bioprocess to enable commercial production. Numerous steps were taken to develop an efficient production process for V. midae, one of the isolates found by UCT. The initial stages of research resulted in the development of a stable and validated cell bank which allowed the development of a robust inoculum stage. This was followed by optimization of temperature and pH which resulted in improved probiotic production at a temperature of 30oC and a pH of 6.5. Once these critical growth parameters were established further media optimization studies were performed. The two key nutrient supplements investigated were corn steep liquor (CSL) and High Test Molasses (HTM) due to their suitability, availability and affordability. The optimization of CSL (6.4 g.l-1) and HTM (24 g.l-1) concentrations in the growth medium resulted in a 180% increase in cell concentration, a 5716-fold increase in cell productivity and a 97.2% decrease in the material cost of production when compared to the base case technology. Furthermore, a stable market ready liquid probiotic product, containing viable but not culturable (VBNC) state of Vibrio midae cells, was developed during the downstream processing aspect of the study. Finally, the validation of this production technology at full manufacturing scale was demonstrated which further enhances the attractiveness and commercial feasibility of this probiotic production process.

Aquatic weeds are well known for their fast growth rate and high carbohydrate content that can be easily hydrolysed into fermentable sugars. This study was aimed at the utilization of an indigenous aquatic weed, Pistia stratiotes for biohydrogen production through the dark fermentation process. Characterization of the biomass, effect of pre–treatment methods on biomass hydrolysis, effect of reactor operational conditions and type of inoculum on enhancing hydrogen production potential of P. stratiotes was assessed. Physical and chemical pre–treatments were employed on P. stratiotes biomass to increase digestibility and to achieve high conversion rates of fermentable sugars. The highest sugar yield of 139± 0.8 mg/g was obtained when the oven dried biomass was subjected to H2SO4 (2.5%) pre– treatment followed by autoclaving at 121°C for 30 min. Biohydrogen production under different operational conditions was thereafter optimized using One–factor–at–a–time (OFAT) batch experiments in 120 mL serum bottles. A maximum hydrogen yield (HY) of 2.46 ± 0.14 mol-H2/mol-glucose (3.51 ± 0.20 mg-H2/g-dry weight) and 2.75 ± 0.07 mL h-1 hydrogen production rate was observed under optimized conditions (pH 5.5, Temp 35°C, S/X: 1.0 g-COD/g-VSS and HRT 8 h). The organic mass balance (92 – 96%) and electron– equivalent balance (92 – 98%) further indicated the reliability of the obtained fermentation data. Assessment of microbial activity was achieved using molecular techniques such as quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) targeting both 16s rRNA (of Clostridium spp., Bacillus spp., and Enterobacter spp.) and the functional hydrogenase gene (hydA). The highest gene activity of hydrogenase was noted at pH of 5.5 with 2.53×104 copies/ng-DNA compared to low pH: 4.5 (6.95 × 103 copies/ng-DNA) and high pH: 8.5 (7.77×103 copies/ng- DNA). A similar trend was also observed for the species containing a highly active hydrogenase (i.e. Clostridium spp., Bacillus spp., and Enterobacter spp.). During the optimum reactor conditions, three hydrogen producing bacterial strains Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter cloacae were successfully isolated. These isolates were used as inoculums for the pure culture studies and achieved HYs of 2.2, 1.10 and 1.97 mol-H2/mol-glucose respectively under optimized fermentation conditions. However, the thermally treated mixed culture displayed a marginally higher HY (2.46 mol-H2/mol-glucose) compared to the pure culture used alone. Furthermore, the cost estimation indicated a potential and economically feasible for biotransformation of P. stratiotes to hydrogen energy. In conclusion, the results from this study has revealed the potential of employing P. stratiotes biomass for biohydrogen production. The results also indicated the importance of employing suitable pre–treatment methods, operating conditions as well as inoculum types for enhanced hydrogen production using P. stratiotes.

Lignocellulosic materials have the potential to partly replace fossil-based resources as a source of bio-fuels, bio-chemicals, bio-composites and other bio-products. In this study, ionic liquids (ILs) were used in the pre-treatment of ground sugarcane bagasse (SCB). The ILs used were 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulphate or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methyl sulphate at varied times. The ILs were able to remove lignin and hemicellulose from biomass. The IL [bmim][HSO4] had the highest amount of lignin removed after 12 h than all samples. Moreover, it resulted in the greatest cellulose amount. Milled SCB was pre-treated with IL/dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) mixtures. The IL [bmim][HSO4] was able to produce cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) at 90 % IL and 100 % IL. The other IL failed to produce CNCs. Freeze drying the CNC suspension showed morphologies of long fibrous structures and rods which were evident in the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The crystallinity index of cellulose in the form of CNCs was calculated from powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD). Thermal analysis of the CNCs was obtained from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) was used to confirm the absence of lignin and hemicellulose in CNCs. The size distribution of CNCs was obtained by using a dynamic light scattering (DLS) which showed that all the CNCs for the 100 % IL [bmim][HSO4] pre-treatment had a length < 500 nm. It was found that [bmim][HSO4], with no DMSO, was the most effective in terms of cellulose dissolution and the crystal sizes of CNCs. The conversion of cellulose to CNCs was successful with a 80 % and 100 % conversion for 90 % [bmim][HSO4]/DMSO and 100 % [bmim][HSO4], respectively.

El biocarbón es un material rico en carbono derivado de residuos vegetales y que se obtiene mediante técnicas termoquímicas en un ambiente limitado de oxígeno o en ausencia de éste. El objetivo fue evaluar las propiedades físicas de mezclas de biocarbón de cascarilla de arroz como componente de sustrato y su efecto en el crecimiento de plántulas de pepino. Los tratamientos fueron: biocarbón de cascarilla de arroz (BC) y turba comercial (T; Sunshine mix 3), así como mezclas de ambos en diferentes proporciones (20:80, 40:60, 60:40 y 80:20 %, respectivamente). Para la caracterización física se evaluó la granulometría, la densidad aparente, la porosidad total, la porosidad de aireación y la porosidad de humedad. Adicionalmente, se determinó la concentración nutrimental. Para evaluar el efecto del biocarbón en el crecimiento de plántulas de pepino se consideró la longitud de tallo, el peso fresco de biomasa aérea y de raíz, el área foliar, el peso seco de biomasa aérea y de raíz, y el contenido relativo de clorofila (lecturas SPAD). Se encontró que la adición de hasta 40 % de BC al medio de crecimiento universal (turba) no altera las propiedades físicas de porosidad total, porosidad de aireación y porosidad de retención de humedad; además, el crecimiento de plántulas de pepino en mezcla de BC al 20 % es similar en longitud de tallo, biomasa fresca, biomasa seca y área foliar a las plántulas cultivadas con 100 % de turba.
IDEOLOGY AND ECONOMICS: POST-SOVIET PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Niftiyev Ibrahim
Published: June 2021

As the fifteen former soviet economies progress in their political, economic, institutional, and state-building development, the role of the ideology among them is being neglected. It is assumed that as the USSR collapsed, the role of socialistic or communistic ideologies is no more in the mind of the politicians and decision-makers or even citizens. However, for 70 years these countries used ideology, and only ideology to guide their societies. Complete deviation from the traditional courses of the state, or institutions among the former Soviet Union countries should be hard to ignore even today. In this light, the connections between ideology as a non-scientific factor that impacts economics seems to be relevant in the case of the former Soviet Union countries. Consequently, a set of questions arise: are the post-Soviet countries post-Soviet, or the legacy of the USSR is still present? How exactly an ideology must be pinpointed among the former Soviet countries? What is the overall situation related to the connection between the economic development and ideological situation among the ex-Soviet countries? This paper discusses the concept of ideology in the context of the Soviet economies, by briefly considering country examples, referring to the permanent importance of the notion of ideology in daily life, politics, and economics.

THE SCOPE OF STYLISTIC AND DISCURSIVE ANALYSES OF THE LITERARY TEXT: INTERRELATION AND INCONSISTENCY
Authors: Lașcu Tatiana , Gherlovan Olga
Published: June 2021

The article explores the peculiarities of the stylistic and discursive analyses of a literary text. Meanwhile, there are mentioned the differences and the common boundaries between these two approaches. Discourse and Stylistics are different according to the objectives of their field of study. Still, they are two inseparable disciplines. Analyzing the discourse implies a bit of stylistic input. However, discourse is broader in its analysis scope. To make a distinction between these two types of analyses we would like to hightlight that discourse represents a communication act while stylistics deals with the style of the communication, how and what is communicated. As a matter of fact, the discursive analysis of a literary text is namely guided by the peculiarities of discourse.
