Authors: Mujiono Ikha Setiawaty , Ayuba Sri Rahayu , Jaya Risman
Published: January 2025

This study was conducted in the Batulayar Sub-Watershed, Distrik Bongomeme, with the aim of assessing the level of erosion and evaluating the SWAT model as a tool for erosion monitoring. A mixed-method approach was employed, with data analyzed using the ArcSWAT software. The results indicated that the Batulayar Sub-Watershed experienced erosion categorized as "very mild" and "mild," ranging from 0-15 tons/ha/year to 15-60 tons/ha/year, according to the classification by the Ministry of Forestry. Very mild erosion occurred in 15 sub-basins, primarily in areas with flat to moderately steep slopes, while mild erosion was observed in 29 sub-basins with steeper slopes. The main factors contributing to erosion were slope gradient, soil type, and land use, particularly agricultural activities on steep slopes. Calibration and validation results showed an NSE value of 0.9, indicating a high level of accuracy in replicating observed discharge. The SWAT model proved effective in mapping the distribution of erosion levels and provided critical insights for sustainable soil and water conservation management.

Published: January 2025

This study looks at the influence of digital innovation, notably AI-driven chatbots, on e-commerce consumer satisfaction among young customers in Vietnam. It investigates key factors influencing user satisfaction employing frameworks such as the Uses and Gratifications Theory (U&G), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), including utilitarian, hedonic, technological, and social gratifications, privacy risk, and social influence. This research applies a quantitative method, with data collected through an online survey utilising snowball sampling, yielding responses from 1,007 individuals aged 18 to 30. SPSS and PLS-SEM tools are used in the statistical analysis. This study finds that utilitarian, hedonic, technological, and social gratifications positively and substantially impact user satisfaction. Aside from this finding, when engaging with chatbots, consumers are often affected by suggestions and endorsements from peers and their larger social context. This highlights the significance of peer validation and social dynamics in determining user satisfaction. Additionally, Privacy Risks do not substantially impact satisfaction, indicating that customers prioritise practical and emotional advantages over data security concerns when engaging with chatbots. Practical implications include strategically using digital innovation, making reasonable assumptions about privacy risks, and adding social elements to improve consumer satisfaction in Vietnam’s thriving e-commerce industry. This study provides valuable insights for companies navigating digital innovation in Vietnam’s e-commerce ecosystem and digital banking.
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION AS AN OPTIMIZATION OF TRANSACTION SECURITY IN ISLAMIC FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Nur Aisah  , Siara Zazkia Juliana Putri  , Muhammad Riza Hafizi
Published: January 2025

This study examines the role of blockchain technology in enhancing security within Islamic financial institutions, which adhere to Sharia principles emphasising transparency, fairness, and ethical conduct. The primary purpose is to explore blockchain’s potential to address financial risks and inefficiencies while ensuring compliance with Islamic values. Islamic financial institutions face challenges maintaining transaction security and transparency under Sharia constraints, especially as risks like fraud, manipulation, and operational inefficiencies persist. Blockchain’s decentralised ledger system offers solutions by ensuring immutable transaction records, real-time transparency, and secure cryptographic frameworks. Smart contracts further automate Sharia-compliant processes, reducing risks of non-compliance and fraud, while operational efficiencies are achieved through reduced costs and faster transaction processing. However, implementing blockchain in Sharia financial institutions faces limitations, including a lack of technical expertise, regulatory clarity, and inadequate infrastructure in many regions. These barriers highlight the need for capacity-building initiatives and robust regulations to support blockchain adoption in Islamic finance. The study emphasises blockchain’s transformative potential to revolutionise Islamic finance, fostering trust and operational excellence while overcoming current barriers through collaborative efforts. Further research is necessary to optimise blockchain’s integration into this sector.

Published: January 2025

Coral reef habitats are changing due to both natural and anthropogenic influences operating at different scales. To better understand and differentiate between these processes, it is important to reconstruct natural variability in reef communities. Here, we examine late Holocene sediments (0–4 kyrs BP) along three vibracores from marginal and central locations, and adjacent to a patch reef, in the lagoon of Rasdhoo Atoll, Maldives. Sediment analysis included quantification of corals, echinoids, and sponges, as well as changes in texture. In addition, growth forms and degree of encrustation of coral fragments were documented. The aim of this study is to identify fluctuations in the proportion of organism remains and sediment composition and possible patterns over time in response to environmental changes. The sediment compositions in the three cores are substantially different. Fragments of reef corals (including Acropora spp., Seriatopora hystrix) were found preferentially in two cores adjacent to reef structures and channels through the atoll rim, suggesting sediment redeposition due to enhanced water circulation compared to the deeper lagoon location. Fragments of echinoids belonging to Echinometra sp., Diadema sp. and Cidaridae, mainly decreased in abundance over time. Different trends in organism proportion in the three cores can be attributed to local changes in ecological interactions among organisms, lagoonal circulation influenced by patch-reef growth and sand-spit development, and regional sedimentological events including tsunamis. Global changes in temperature, El-Niño frequency, and sea level fluctuations did not leave clear imprints in the lagoonal record. This study highlights that organism remains from atoll lagoons have great potential as archives of local to regional ecological and environmental change, as they store information on faunal composition, long-term geomorphological change, and short-term events and should therefore receive more attention in future investigations.

Authors:   , Aguilar Tello Valeria Luisa
Published: January 2025

La digitalización ha generado nuevas formas de comunicación y difusión de la información. En el área científica, la divulgación de la ciencia ha recurrido a nuevos espacios sociales para comunicar sus hallazgos. Sin embargo, aunque la producción científica aumentó durante la pandemia de covid-19, en el ámbito científico se agravó la brecha de género existente en el entorno social. Se llevó a cabo una investigación mixta, descriptiva-correlacional y transversal, enfocada en el análisis de 13.165 publicaciones de 17 divulgadores científicos -hombres y mujeres que se caracterizan como microinfluencers de la red social Twitter- que fueron publicadas entre marzo y junio. 2020 (primera ola de covid19). Las principales conclusiones muestran que las mujeres comunicadoras científicas que formaron parte de la muestra generan menos contenido propio que científicos hombres, además de tener métricas más desventajosas en comparación con ellas; asimismo, hombres y mujeres presentan métricas opuestas de comentarios y relevancia. Finalmente, al inicio de la pandemia, cuando un hombre y una mujer con el mismo número de seguidores publicaban, si uno de ellos adquiría más favs o retuits, el otro adquiría más comentarios, y viceversa.

Finalmente, se concluye que la MEIAd del proyecto Mina Justa presenta una calidad aceptable del aire debido a que el resultado del modelo, así como los registrados en campo no superaron los ECA para Aire. Asimismo, el proponente del estudio pudo absolver todas las observaciones de SENACE...
Estimación del grado de urbanización en cinco lomas de Lima: análisis y modelamiento del periodo 2005-2020 mediante sistemas de información geográfica
Authors:   , Mendoza Davila Jacqueline Alexandra
Published: January 2025

Las lomas son ecosistemas costeros presentes en Perú y Chile, que se encuentran cada vez más afectadas por la expansión urbana. Esta investigación analiza el proceso de urbanización de cinco lomas de Lima en el periodo 2005-2020. Para ello, se calculó la tasa de urbanización anual de las lomas, se identificó el modelo matemático que más se ajusta para detectar la tendencia de expansión urbana y se evaluó si existe correlación entre la tasa de urbanización anual y la tasa de crecimiento poblacional del centro poblado más cercano. Se utilizaron imágenes satelitales de alta resolución para digitalizar manualmente las zonas urbanas en el periodo 2005-2020 en el programa ArcGIS 10.8 y se usó Google Earth Pro como complemento para la validación. Las Lomas de Carabayllo fueron las más afectadas por la expansión urbana, seguida por las Lomas de Pachacámac y las Lomas de Pamplona; las menos afectadas fueron las Lomas de Lachay y las Lomas de Ancón. La expansión urbana no mostró correlación con el crecimiento poblacional de los centros poblados aledaños, por lo cual, puede deberse a otros factores como el tráfico de terrenos, la explotación de canteras y el crecimiento de la frontera agrícola. Cada loma es un caso diferente y la mejor solución debe estar adaptada a su contexto particular.
Olfactory Tubercle mediates adaptive social behavior through distinct control of threat assessment and memory updating.
Authors: Bellone Camilla , Casarotto Giulia , Jourdain Lorena , Gemelli Anastasia
Published: January 2025

The ability to dynamically assess and update threat responses based on changing environmental contexts is fundamental for survival. Here, we developed a novel odor-based paradigm to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying social threat processing, where mice first encountered a non-threatening conspecific that subsequently became aggressive. This paradigm allowed us to study how mice assess the threat and update their memories when re-exposed to the aggressor in a non-threatening context. Using a combination of in vivo calcium imaging, chemogenetics, and electrophysiology, we identified the olfactory tubercle (OT) as a key region mediating social threat assessment. While OT activity was not required during the initial aggressive encounter, it proved to be essential during recall, where its inhibition prevented both the expression of avoidance behavior and subsequent memory updating. Importantly, we found that recall induced pathway-specific synaptic plasticity at the basolateral amygdala (BLA) to OT synapses. This plasticity persisted even after behavioral extinction, suggesting a neural substrate for maintaining specific social memories while allowing behavioral flexibility. Given this persistent plasticity, we finally investigated the mechanisms driving avoidance behavior during threat assessment. We found that serotonin release in the OT during recall facilitated avoidance behavior, while its blockade triggered dopamine release and promoted approach behavior, revealing a novel neuromodulatory switch controlling social behavior. Our findings reveal how the OT, through precise neuromodulatory control and synaptic plasticity, orchestrates the dynamic updating of social memories essential for adaptive behavior.
Development of the false alarm filtering method for GEO-KOMPSAT-2A wildfire detection product
Authors: CHAE Seoyoung , Choi Yong-Sang , Choi Hwayon
Published: January 2025

Wildfires have caused significant damage to the economy, human health, and ecosystems over extended periods. Satellites offer advantages as wildfire detection tools because they provide near real-time, continuous observations in areas that are difficult to manage directly by humans. But in previous studies, satellite active wildfire detection products were prone to generating false alarms in areas with high reflectance, such as bare soils, urban regions, water bodies, and clouds. This issue arises because infrared channels were used for wildfire detection, but their observations include both solar and thermal radiances. In this study, we apply a calculation, based on a previous study, to wildfire detection that reduces solar reflectance radiance and propose a filtering method to eliminate false alarms occurring in cloud edge areas. South Korea, where detailed annual wildfire information is available, was selected as the study area to develop a region-specific false alarm filtering algorithm for wildfire detection product. The filtering algorithm was compared to the GEO-KOMPSAT-2A operational product using data from 62 wildfire cases that occurred in 2022. As a result, the number of false alarms was significantly reduced from 896 to 25, the False alarm ratio (FAR) decrease from 96.34–47.17% and the Probability of Detection (POD) showed a slight decrease from 53.23–45.16%. The results of this study are expected to contribute to more efficient disaster and risk management by enabling more accurate wildfire detection.
Ligand-induced cold activation of TRPV3
Authors: Wang Guangyu
Published: January 2025

Both hot and cold sensation of the homotetrameric thermosensitive transient receptor potential vanilloid 1–4 (TRPV1-4) channels have been predicted by a single Gibbs-Helmholtz equation for a change in molar heat capacity. However, cold activation has not been confirmed for those heat-responsive TRPV1-4 channels. Given the cooperative heat unfolding and non-cooperative cold unfolding behaviors in proteins, two different open states at low and high temperatures should be detected in TRPV1-4 channels. To test this hypothesis, the temperature-dependent quaternary and tertiary structures of oxidized TRPV3 in the presence and absence of the natural cannabinoid tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV) were characterized along a lipid-dependent minimal gating pathway. Further thermoring analyses showed that gating state-dependent thermostability allowed oxidized TRPV3 to be activated and then inactivated only below 30°C. However, no inactivation would be observed above 30°C once the lipid at the active vanilloid site was released by THCV binding. Therefore, such two temperature-dependent gating pathways of oxidized TRPV3 actually resulted from cold and heat activation. (161 words)

Published: January 2025

In the Sauce Chico Complex (Neoproterozoic-middle Cambrian age; Ventania System, Argentina), polymetamorphosed carbonate xenoliths known as the Loma Marcelo skarn are hosted in an Ediacaran peraluminous granite. The skarn has three types of vesuvianite, namely a, b and c, with different colors, habits, and/or mineral assemblages. They were studied through petrographic microscopy, electron microprobe, inductively-coupled mass and atomic emission spectrometry, Raman and Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray (powder and single crystal) diffraction, and fluid inclusions and stable isotope analyses. The averaged composition of the Loma Marcelo skarn vesuvianite is XCa19.00Y(Al9.57Fe2+1.29Fe3+0.50Mg1.17Ti0.48Mn2+0.04)Σ = 13.05T□Z(Si18O68)W(OH5.79F3.03Cl0.28O0.90)Σ = 10.00 and corresponds to vesuvianite sensu stricto. Negligible amounts of XNa and TB were detected. Only Zn, Sr, Ce, La, and Sn are in concentrations >50 ppm. Through single-crystal XRD, the crystal structure of vesuvianite types a and b was refined in the P4/nnc space-group (domains with P4/n symmetry are also present). Type c vesuvianite could not be satisfactorily refined; however, a P4/n symmetry is suspected. By comparing the Loma Marcelo skarn vesuvianite cell parameters with those from other vesuvianites worldwide, it becomes clear that the symmetry does not influence such parameters. Based on Raman, single-crystal XRD data, and structural and chemical characteristics, formation temperatures of 550 °C (type b), 450 °C (type a), and 300–400 °C (type c) were estimated. δ18OH2O values of ca. +11.9‰ calculated for these temperatures from δ18O values determined on vesuvianite concentrates and the vesuvianite-water fractionation factors are compatible with a peraluminous granitic source. According to this, the Loma Marcelo skarn vesuvianite appear to reflect a retrograde process related to the crystallization of the Ediacaran granite hosting the metasomatized xenoliths. During a subsequent protracted Permian tectono-metamorphic event, biphasic secondary fluid inclusions were trapped at ca. 270–339 °C (ca. 250 MPa) from low salinity metamorphic fluids. Stable isotope determinations of H and O on vesuvianite concentrates indicate that the interaction with magmatic and metamorphic aqueous fluids promoted modifications in the 2H/1H ratios of the hydroxyl groups from the W sites, whereas the 18O/16O ratios of the silicate groups were not substantially modified. Notably, the vesuvianite structure is highly stable, remaining unchanged after formation. This stability suggests vesuvianite-group minerals could serve as a reliable XRD-based thermometer.

The primary objective of this study is to improve the efficiency of dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) by the manipulation of their geometric and material characteristics. Two distinct cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with microstrip patch antenna designs chosen, and deliberate modifications implemented in a systematic manner to enhance crucial characteristics including gain, bandwidth, S-parameters, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and directivity. Furthermore, an investigation was conducted to assess the efficacy of incorporating additional layers into the design of the DRA to achieve increased gain and enhanced efficiency at a frequency of 28 GHz. The research encompassed the process of collecting and designing and simulating CDRA and microstrip patch antenna antennas utilizing the CST framework. The study investigates different configurations of apertures and alterations or holes in the patch geometry to improve both the gain and efficiency. A comparative analysis between both antennas was carried out utilizing performance criteria such as S-parameters, gain, directivity, bandwidth, and VSWR and efficiency. The discourse explores the progress made in the field of technology pertaining to the improvement of gain and bandwidth. This includes the utilization of high-dielectric-constant materials, modifications in resonant frequencies, and the implementation of metamaterial (MTM) cells. The CST program is utilized for conducting realistic trials and assessments. The research highlights the advantages of CDRA antennas and microstrip patch antennas, including improved radiation efficiency, smaller size, lower profile, and lightweight design. The integration of photonic crystal layers into the design of the cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) was emphasized as a noteworthy enhancement, resulting in amplified gain. The significance of considering both intrinsic characteristics and external factors, such as surface Plasmon waves, in the computational modeling of DRA antennas to achieve maximum efficiency is emphasized by the research.

Regular basic education imparts knowledge based on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and reading; Additionally, and depending on the type of educational institution, other knowledge is imparted such as religion, arts, historical and social sciences, study of geography, universal history, education and civics, etc. This leads us to reflect on the type of education that is being promoted for school children today, which is not bad if all plans are fulfilled, but what happens when money is not enough until the end of the month, or when there are problems to pay the mortgage, or when there is uncertainty about the cost of living, taxes, interests. There is a crisis within a crisis, all of this demonstrates the lack of good financial education. Therefore, through the qualitative approach, we resorted to the phenomenological-hermeneutic design, and the objective was to explore the financial education provided in elementary school, and how this has served to survive during the post-school stage. The population of interest was the graduates of public and private schools, as well as professionals dedicated to teaching of the same generation. The participants expressed their opinions and beliefs on the relevance and necessity of including financial education in the school curriculum from an early age. The study provides information on these experiences, providing a basis for establishing corrective measures and formulating guidelines to promote its teaching at some pre-professional preparatory stage.

Authors: AL-Ghamdi Amer A. , Alhazmi Yassir A.
Published: January 2025

The production and use of energy in today's world is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, which is associated with several economic and environmental problems. This study addresses the possibilities of integrating fossil fuel generators with renewable energy systems utilizing various mix-generating scenarios while act as a new emission pricing approach, in line with the current trend towards renewable energy. The suggested carbon incentive scheme includes carbon taxes, carbon permits, and tiers of carbon emissions restrictions (emission factors). The approach seeks to lessen the damaging effects of CO2 emissions on the environment and to compel energy providers to cut back on fossil fuel output and carbon dioxide production. The study, which exclusively analyzes independent Power Producers (IPPs), looks at many desalination facilities in Saudi Arabia that are situated along the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea coasts for 40 years, from 2025 to 2064. The primary objective of the article is to support the best generation mix, taking into account the suggested carbon pricing technique and renewable energy-producing technologies like wind turbines and solar cells, at the chosen locations. The impact of integrating renewable energy on overall costs, including the new price for carbon emissions, is also examined in this study.

Authors: Ahmed Mohammed Sami , Boujelbene Younes
Published: January 2025

The research was conducted to ascertain the impact of imports on Iraq's GDP, which is a critical element in the development of economic policies and strategies. The study demonstrated that imports had a detrimental impact on Iraq's GDP in both the short and long term by employing the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to examine the relationship between imports and domestic product. According to the short-term elasticity value of (-0.24), the increase in imports resulted in a 24% decrease in GDP in Iraq, with a minor 1% offset in other sectors. This decrease in GDP underscores the substantial influence that an increase in imports can have on a nation's overall economic performance. This research emphasises the significance of evaluating the effects of import trends on technological advancements, resource allocation, and infrastructure projects in Iraq. Engineers and policymakers can strive to create sustainable solutions that foster domestic production, innovation, and economic growth in the long term by acknowledging the detrimental impacts of excessive imports on GDP.

The study's overarching goal is to provide light on the connections between corporate governance processes and the financial information provided by company executives. Highlighting the impact of these mechanisms on the reliability of financial reporting and how this influences stock price movements is one of the secondary goals. In order to achieve our goals and address our questions, we relied on the descriptive analytical technique. Additionally, the researcher drafted and sent surveys to the study's participants, who were well-informed individuals with extensive backgrounds in either working for or investing in major companies traded on the Iraqi Stock Exchange. The study's sample size was determined using the random sampling procedure; a total of 168 questionnaires were included in the final count after 180 were sent out and returned. The research concluded, among other things, that "there is a statistically significant effect of corporate governance on corporate prices" after examining the data and evaluating the hypotheses. Stocks, even after accounting data quality is considered as a mediator variable. Corporate governance has an indirect impact on stock prices via its effect on accounting information quality, according to the path analysis. Our research shows that both corporate governance and accounting information quality significantly affect stock prices, with accounting information quality mediating the relationship between the two. Accounting information quality has a statistically noteworthy effect on stock prices. With a big (t) value (6.35), the influence factor (beta) for relative importance is statistically significant with a value of 0.000. Meaning that both relative importance and corporate governance have a direct and statistically significant impact on stock prices and accounting information quality, respectively. A positive and statistically noteworthy effect on accounting information quality is shown by internal governance mechanisms, which have an effect size (beta) of 0.318, a t-value of 5.64, and a p-value of 0.000. There is a positive and statistically substantial outcome of external governance systems, as shown by their impact factor (beta) of 0.397, t value of 6.31, and significance level of 0.000. The beta impact factor (beta) for internal governance procedures is 0.198, the t-value is 2.49, and the significance level is 0.014, all of which point to a positive and statistically significant effect on stock prices. This study is useful in the account systems of many companies, including industrial engineering companies.
