WASTE MANAGEMENT IN AGRICULTURE- CREATING WEALTH FROM WASTE
Authors: Subhadarshini Susibna , Mohapatra Alisha , Illias Sahista
Published: June 2024

Farming has been a part of human life ever since early settlers built up permanent communities. India's agricultural sector is one of the oldest in the world and crucial to the country's economy as a whole. Agriculture encompasses a wide range of practises, including crop farming and livestock husbandry. About 38 percent of Earth's surface is devoted to agricultural use, or about 5 billion acres. Organic or inorganic waste is produced in this procedure. What we call "agricultural wastes" are the unusable materials produced throughout the farming process. Despite the potential monetary value of these resources, they would not be worth the effort required to gather, transport, and process them for practical use. Anything not needed for farming is considered waste. Much of the waste we generate comes from the food and farming industries as a result of the numerous stages of processing. Agricultural waste is being transformed into a variety of products that provide less of a threat to people, animals, and plants

Authors: Swain Dhruti Sundar , Behera Aradhana , Mallik shutosh , Rojalindehury Mr
Published: June 2024

IPM places a premium on prevention, which is an important factor. Good sanitation practises, such as frequent cleaning and waste management, can help reduce conditions that attract pests in homes and businesses. Pests can be efficiently warded off by decreasing or removing sources of standing water and sealing off potential entry holes. Biological pest control is another essential part of integrated pest management. In order to control insect populations, it is sometimes necessary to release natural enemies into the scene. It has been shown effective in many agricultural and horticultural applications, for example, to release ladybirds to manage aphids or to use beneficial nematodes to combat soil-dwelling pests. Mechanical and physical controls are also encouraged by IPM. Methods such as traps, obstacles, and manual removal can be used to get rid of pests without resorting to poisons. Sticky traps to catch flying insects and mesh screens to keep them out of buildings are two examples of IPM methods. Agriculture, forestry, and urban pest management are just a few of the fields where this novel method is gaining traction and being adopted, making for a healthier and more sustainable future

Published: June 2024

Food preservation is a crucial aspect of modern food production and distribution, aimed at maintaining food quality and maximizing nutritional benefits. This process involves a variety of techniques, including growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution, all of which contribute to extending the shelf life of food items. The main goals of food preservation are to provide value-added products, offer dietary variety, and address issues related to improper agricultural planning. However, food deterioration can result from numerous chemical and biological interactions. Traditional food preservation methods, such as drying, chilling, freezing, and pasteurization, have been employed for ages to prevent both chemical and microbiological spoilage. These methods have evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field, with advancements in technology leading to more sophisticated preservation techniques. Cutting-edge technologies, such as irradiation, high pressure processing, and nanotechnology, are now utilized to preserve food items and ensure food safety. We also discuss the factors contributing to food spoilage, including physical, chemical, and microbial factors, in different food categories. We also discuss the factors contributing to food spoilage, including physical, chemical, and microbial factors, in different food categories

SECURED VERTICAL HANDOFF USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE IN 5G WIRELESS NETWORKS
Authors: Saboji S. V. , Chittapur G. B. , Manjaragi Shivanand V.
Published: June 2024

The fifth generation (5G) networks are a popular standard that carries effective skills to conquer the tests of next generation wireless networks. Also, the 5G systems can support high data traffic by rendering high throughput and low latency towards the massively connected nodes. Here, handover is highly significant for data processing, portability and real time data creation in mobile technologies. With the 5G entrance, the cellular network has become a completely heterogeneous network (HetNet). The Software Defined Network (SDN) concept is used in 5G HetNets for better mobility management. Most existing research works have concentrated on handover authentication, but those works are often prone to re-authentication issues and increased handover delay. Therefore, to overcome the re-authentication process and provide users with better services, a novel handover authentication mechanism using deep learning is proposed. Initially, the 5G data attack and normal data are collected, and the malicious and non-malicious users are classified using the Convolution Stacked long short term memory network model. To improve handover process and resist network attacks, only the non-malicious user data are authenticated through the key generation and the 5G Handover-Authentication and Key Agreement (5G_AKA) protocol. The process of encryption and decryption are performed using Extended Elliptic curve cryptography (Ex_ECC).

In the modern day, everyone is focused on finding a long-term solution to the issues people encounter daily. There are some non-natural products that caused the shift to these natural products, which are now preferred over chemical ones in the cosmetics industry. These products are grown up in recent years as eco-friendly products and that are referred to as green products. There are various studies taken on this issue in the market that are studied through secondary sources of data to analyze the effectiveness of cosmetics products through digital marketing platforms as a wage marketing tool for green cosmetics. Marketers cannot reach genuine customers who are all dealing with the issues associated with it without first analyzing the platform that aids in enhancing green cosmetics. Since every one lives in the digital age, it is now possible to reach genuine consumers and desired products that are mainly through digital marketing. This study identified that more green cosmetics consumers chose Instagram as their preferred digital marketing channel than any other. It is obvious that green cosmetic marketers can control the best market position by focusing on it. Every marketer wants to connect with their target customers and vice versa. In the digital age, it is easy for both marketers and consumers to receive market feedback and make the best pick. Marketers should be aware of the digital marketing platform's medium before deciding on a tool for communicating their products to consumers

Published: June 2024

Transformasi lembaga pendidikan Islam di Indonesia subur terjadi pada masa akhir pemerintahan penjajah Belanda di Indonesia karena dua hal utama, yaitu sikap diskriminatif pemerintah Belanda terhadap kaum pribumi akan pendidikan dan munculnya pan-Islamisme dan melahirkan pola dan sistem pendidikan Islam yang modern. Artikel ini membahas mengenai transformasi lembaga pendidikan Islam dan berfokus pada kajian perkembangan madrasah dari masa ke masa di Indonesia. Artikel ini menggunakan metode sejarah yang terdiri dari empat tahapan yaitu heuristik, kritik, interpetasi dan historiografi dengan menggunakan teori challenge and respons yang dipopulerkan oleh Arnold Joseph Toynbee. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa lembaga pendidikan Islam seperti halnya madrasah sudah ada sejak zaman Nabi Muhamamd Saw. dan para sahabat yang menjadikan masjid sebagai pusat pendidikan Islam. Sehingga pada perkembangan berikutnya lahirlah masjid khan yaitu masjid yang mempunyai fasilitas asrama bagi para penuntut ilmu. Lalu pada zaman kejayaan Islam dengan dibangunnya madrasah-madrasah di Naisaphur Iran dan Madrasah Nidzamiyah di Bagdad. Adapun madrasah masuk ke Nusantara pada abad ke-20 atau pada masa akhir penjajahan Belanda di Indonesia, dikarenakan umat Islam Indonesia mengalami sikap diskriminatif oleh pemerintah Belanda dan munculnya gerakan pan-Islamisme sehingga pada masa tersebut umat Islam Indonesia mendirikan madrasah-madrasah sebagai lembaga pendidikan Islam selain dari pesantren. Setelah Indonesia merdeka madrasah diakomodasi oleh pemerintah melalui Departemen Agama (sekarang Kementerian Agama) dan melahirkan banyak kemajuan bagi dunia pendidikan Islam di Indonesia

Authors: Febriyani Emiliya , Tantimin Tantimin , Alhakim Abdurrakhman , Jaya Febri
Published: June 2024

The judicial verdict fundamentally embodies the effort of legal enforcement to actualize the ideals of justice, certainty, and utility. It stands as the culmination of the paradigm believed by the judiciary. This study scrutinizes the judicial considerations within the constructivist paradigm, focusing on the case of cyanide coffee. Conducted qualitatively, this research delves into conceptual ideas examining the guidelines for legal discovery by judges in cases of premeditated murder involving cyanide coffee, employing a paradigmatic analysis through the lens of legal philosophy. The findings reveal that judicial decisions in cyanide coffee cases within the constructivist paradigm have yet to fully reflect a sense of justice. Therefore, legal efforts are imperative to instill a sense of fairness within society.

Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
Authors: Cadieux Danielle , Darwich Rami
Published: June 2024

Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) was first described by Ernst Fuchs in 1910. It is a bilateral corneal endothelial dystrophy characterized by progressive loss of corneal endothelial cells and formation of excrescences at the level of Descemet’s membrane called guttae. The diseased endothelium leads to corneal edema and loss of corneal clarity. FECD typically manifests in the fifth and sixth decade of life coinciding with the development of cataracts. Careful preoperative evaluation and surgical technique allows for selection of patients who can safely undergo cataract surgery alone. Some patients, however, would benefit from both cataract surgery and endothelial transplantation (EK). This can be done as a staged surgery (cataract surgery then EK or vice versa) or in combination as a single procedure. This review evaluates the management strategies for individuals with cataract and FECD to help guide surgical decision-making and planning.

KAJIAN LITERATUR BIOSORBEN LIMBAH PERTANIAN DALAM MENGURANGI LIMBAH LOGAM PADA LINGKUNGAN
Authors: Kurniawan Deni
Published: June 2024

Heavy metal pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems today. The adsorption method is a relatively new process and has emerged as a potential alternative choice for removing heavy metals because it provides flexibility in design, the treated effluent is of high quality, is reversible and the adsorbent can be regenerated. This research aims to review articles that discuss several biosorbents from agricultural waste that are used to remove metal waste from the environment. The research uses the literature review method of several research results related to the literature on agricultural waste biosorbents in reducing metal waste in the environment. The research results show that agricultural waste from coconut shells, rice husks and corn husks is potential waste to be used as a biosorbent in the adsorption process because of its cheap price, abundant availability and sometimes pollutes the environment. Biosorbents from agricultural waste have good surface area and adsorption capacity in absorbing metal waste. The modification process for agricultural waste biosorbents is one of the processes that influences the morphology of the adsorbent and increases its adsorption capacity. Physical and chemical modification with thermal processes or the addition of acid and base compounds can increase the absorption efficiency of several adsorbents originating from agricultural waste.

Authors: González Burgos Roberto Efrén
Published: June 2024

Los problemas de contacto entre padres e hijos (PCCP) después de una separación o divorcio son objeto de intenso debate en el ámbito académico y en los medios de comunicación. Este debate se centra en cómo identificar, evaluar y responder a los niños que muestran resistencia o rechazo hacia uno de sus progenitores. Una cuestión central en este debate es la validez y la extensión de la alienación parental (AP), con algunos profesionales viéndola como un fenómeno real y otros como una estrategia legal para contrarrestar acusaciones como la violencia doméstica y el maltrato infantil. Este estudio exploró las actitudes predominantes entrevistando a 1049 profesionales interdisciplinarios del derecho de familia que enfrentan directamente estos problemas en su práctica. A pesar de la falta de formación formal específica sobre estos temas, los profesionales demostraron una comprensión sólida de los PCCP.
The Destination Energy Debt of Interstellar Voyages
Authors:   Project Chronolith, Kennedy Arthur
Published: June 2024

This paper introduces the strategic concept of energy debt acquired by interstellar migrations at their destination. For such voyages an energy debt of travel can be calculated, where KE V2 M Travel Population Distance to Destination. In addition, at destination, growth must be initiated to fill the energy and resource needs of the arrivals. A targeted solar system must contain sufficient resources to supply a growth that provides the technological needs of the arriving society and eventually to develop the capability of escaping the system equivalent to that which had been required for the initial launch. Thus, the capacity of the destination to fill the energy debt of the voyage, at a first approximation given by the planetary and solar masses, is a significant factor in the decision to make the voyage. A simple utility ratio, τ, relating voyage time to technological growth time at destination is proposed and two destinations from Earth are considered in terms of this factor. It is proposed that a Kardashev Type II phase of growth results in such a dependency on energy that investing in high resource-use interstellar voyages will be a necessary means by which a technological civilisation can retard consuming its system’s entire carrying capacity. Some practical methods of avoiding the voyage’s energy debt, including in-flight refuelling, fly-by ‘seeding’ scenarios and the potentials of exotic physics or higher dimensional life are discussed and shown to be ineffective. Other classes of exploratory voyages such as the Icarus Project’s Firefly and those using beamed propulsion methods will also be discussed in relation to the utility ratio. Applying this utility ratio to the likelihood of ETI encounters in any form with Humans at their current stage of development leads to the conclusion that alien encounters will be rare and no scenario for current alien activity on Earth is likely to be correct.

Mengistu's 1974 coup in Ethiopia
Authors: ALomer Dunya
Published: June 2024

The year 1974 marked a major turning point in the history of Ethiopia, when the military seized power in a military coup that ended the 45-year rule of Emperor Haile Selassie. The famine that struck the country in 1973, along with other factors such as rising oil prices and the military defeat in Eritrea, played a significant role in paving the way for this coup. General Mengistu Haile Mariam took advantage of the popular unrest and the weakness of Haile Selassie’s regime to organize a decisive military coup on September 12, 1974, through which he overthrew Haile Selassie’s rule and formed a military council known as the “Derg” that took control of the country. The 1974 coup led to a period of political unrest and violence in Ethiopia. The Derg government pursued a strict communist policy, which led to a long and bloody civil war. Although the coup overthrew a corrupt regime, it did not succeed in bringing about the stability and prosperity that many had hoped for.

La preferencia por recibir capacitación con talleres prácticos destaca la importancia de enfoques participativos y prácticos en la educación ambiental.
Effect of Controlled Bush Burning and Mulching on the Fresh Weight of Leaves, Corms and Cormels of Four Cocoyam Cultivars
Authors:   Akwa Ibom State University, Udounang Patrick , Udosen Udosen ,   Akwa Ibom State University
Published: June 2024

The experiment was conducted at the University of Uyo Teaching and Research farm in 2022 to evaluate the effects of bush burning and mulching on the fresh weight of leaves, corms and cormels of four cocoyam cultivars – NCY 001, NCY 002, NCY 004 and NCY 005. The experiment was laid out on a split – split plot design using randomized complete block design and replicated three times. The effects of the treatment combinations were investigated and the study indicated that burning increased the fresh weight of corms and cormels irrespective of the cultivars. Mulching at level of 10 tonnes per hectare on the burnt plots showed significant increase in the fresh weight of the corms and cormels (2.99, 2.98) at 60, 90DAP with NCY 005 while NCY 001 gave a higher value of 2.99 at 120 DAP. Mulching at zero tonne per hectare gave the highest fresh weight of corms and cormels (1.97, 1.98) on unburnt plot at 60,90DAP with NCY 005 and 2.98 at 120DAP with NCY 002. The lowest fresh weight of corms and cormels (1.37, 1.60, 1.70) was recorded with 20 tonnes per hectare mulch levels on the unburnt plots at 60, 90 and 120DAP with NCY004. The fresh weight of leaves (0.30, 0.32, 0.38) was highest with 20 tonnes per hectare mulch level on the unburnt plots with NCY004 at 60,90,120DAP while zero tonnes per hectare recorded lowest fresh weights of leaves on both NCY 001 and NCY 005 on the burnt plots at 60, 90 and 120 DAP respectively. It appears therefore that the cultivation of NCY 001 - Xanthosoma sagittifolium (white) on burnt plots and 10 tonnes per hectare mulch level may give more economic returns to management on the corms and cormels whereas NCY 004 with 20 tonnes per hectare level mulch on unburnt plots may give higher fresh weight of leaves.

Increased post-harvest losses of staple crops due to poor handling and inadequate storage facilities have become a concern to stakeholders in the Nigerian Food Industry. Storage structures available for some staple crops in Akwa Ibom North East Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, were assessed. Questionnaires were administered to one hundred and fifty respondents randomly selected from a pool of farmers, processors, and marketers in the study area. The study also examined the physical state of some of the available storage facilities to ascertain some challenges limiting their usage and recommendations made on measures to address the concerns. According to the survey, 50% of the respondents used sag bags for storing maize for domestic consumption and marketing, while 29% preferred plastic containers. Less than 10% of the respondents agreed to the use of enclosed rooms and lamented changes in the physical outlook of the crop at the point of marketing them due to poor aeration. Findings revealed that materials for developing storage structures for products such as cassava and cocoyam were sourced locally. Rewetting of stored products, mold, microbial infestation, and theft were some identifiable challenges associated with using plastic containers as storage mediums. The lack of awareness on the part of farmers, poor maintenance culture, non-conformity of some of the storage structures with the environment, poor funding for the development of the structures based on available local materials, inadequate supervision, and misuse of the structures were some of the factors identified as challenges towards effective utilization of storage structures in the study area. The use of rodent glue, adequate fumigation, and efficient crop drying before storage are some of the measures that could help reduce the rate of post-harvest losses of stored agricultural products. The provision of silos and other modern storage structures in strategic farm locations and the upgrading of existing structures could also enhance the storage of agricultural products and value addition.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of varying levels of fenugreek seed powder as feed additive on the growth performance, carcass, internal organ characteristics and nutrient digestibility coefficient of broiler finisher chickens. The experiment utilized a total of one hundred and sixty (160) broiler finisher chickens of Abor Arce breed. Four experimental diets were formulated, incorporating fenugreek seed powder at levels of 0, 100, 200, and 300g per kilogram of feed, labelled T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively. The birds were divided into four (4) groups of forty (40) birds each, and each group was assigned one of the diets in a completely randomized design (CRD). Further division within each group resulted in four (4) replicates of ten (10) birds each. Feed and water were provided ad libitum, and the collected data underwent statistical analysis. The duration of the experiment was 28 days. The results indicated notable differences (p<0.05) in final weight gain, body weight gain, and feed intake among the birds across the treatments. T4 demonstrated the highest significant (p<0.05) values for feed intake, which increased with the higher levels of fenugreek seed powder in the diet. The feed conversion ratio of the birds remained unaffected by the diet, with T4 showing the lowest feed conversion ratio. Additionally, the live weight, dressed weight, dressing percentage, and primal cut-parts (thigh, drumstick, back, wing, and breast) were significantly influenced (p<0.05) by the diets, with T4 recording the highest values for these parameters. The internal organs of the birds were not impacted by the diet, while a significant reduction in abdominal fat was observed in T4. Furthermore, the nutrient digestibility coefficient of the broiler chickens was significantly affected (p<0.05) by the diet, with T4 exhibiting the highest significant nutrient digestibility coefficient value. Hence, it can be concluded that adding fenugreek seed powder to broiler diets at 300g/100kg feed as a feed additive enhances growth performance, carcass internal organ characteristics, and nutrient digestibility coefficient of the birds.
