Published: December 2021

In Indonesia, E-waste continues to grow rapidly, along with the increasing use of electronic goods such as telecommunications devices, households, offices, etc. Although it can be recycled, only a small portion can be done, and the recycling process is still under minimal control. Most E-waste is categorized as hazardous and toxic material waste. E-waste has a very high hazard impact if it is not recycled properly and correctly, such as polluting, damaging, and endangering the environment. This article uses forecasting of e-waste growth and canalization e-waste in Indonesia. The first data was obtained from EWasteRJ, a social community engaged in e-waste collection. The second data is obtained from questionnaires distributed to 110 respondents, focusing on knowledge and ways of handling E-waste. Using statistical analysis on both data shows that the amount of E-waste in Indonesia continues to increase every year, and public awareness of the dangers of E-waste is increasing.

Published: December 2021

The pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has forced the teaching and learning activities to be conducted remotely. Before the pandemic, many academic institutions had offered online distance learning for selected courses. However, in practice, most of these programs were delivered as blended learning program instead of a full-fledged distance learning program. Distance learning programs faced challenges and limitations in terms of communication, integrity, and interactions compared to the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning method. Despite the challenges and limitations in distance teaching and learnings, academic staff are expected to accomplish the same (or better) outcomes than the traditional face-to-face teaching and learning. Hence, distance learning method was not popular to many academic staff and students before the pandemic time. In order to improve the quality of  the full distance learning delivery, emerging technologies and more interactive platforms are being developed rapidly.  This article discusses the emerging technologies and strategies to make full distance learning or remote education competitive compared to the traditional teaching and learning method. The future potential teaching and learning technology, i.e., digital twins, is also briefly presented.

Authors: Lee Shin Ae , Kim Hyeon Su , Sang Mee Kyung , Song Jaekyeong , Weon Hang-Yeon
Published: December 2021

Plant growth-promoting bacteria improve plant growth under abiotic stress conditions. However, their effects on microbial succession in the rhizosphere are poorly understood. In this study, the inoculants of Bacillus mesonae strain H20-5 were administered to tomato plants grown in soils with different salinity levels (EC of 2, 4, and 6 dS/m). The bacterial communities in the bulk and rhizosphere soils were examined 14 days after H20-5 treatment using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Although the abundance of H20-5 rapidly decreased in the bulk and rhizosphere soils, a shift in the bacterial community was observed following H20-5 treatment. The variation in bacterial communities due to H20-5 treatment was higher in the rhizosphere than in the bulk soils. Additionally, the bacterial species richness and diversity were greater in the H20-5 treated rhizosphere than in the control. The composition and structure of the bacterial communities varied with soil salinity levels, and those in the H20-5 treated rhizosphere soil were clustered. The members of Actinobacteria genera, including Kineosporia, Virgisporangium, Actinoplanes, Gaiella, Blastococcus, and Solirubrobacter, were enriched in the H20-5 treated rhizosphere soils. The microbial co-occurrence network of the bacterial community in the H20-5 treated rhizosphere soils had more modules and keystone taxa compared to the control. These findings revealed that the strain H20-5 induced systemic tolerance in tomato plants and influenced the diversity, composition, structure, and network of bacterial communities.

Xanthomonas citri pv. glycines (Xcg) is a major pathogen of soybean (Glycine max) in South Korea, despite the availability of soybean varieties with some resistance. We conducted a nationwide survey of the incidence and severity of bacterial pustule caused by Xcg. The percentage of infected fields was 7% to 17% between 2015 and 2017. We characterized the diversity of a nationwide collection of 106 Xcg isolates based on avrBs3 banding patterns. The isolates fell into 11 groups, each represented by a type strain; only two of these were similar to isolates collected from 1999 to 2002. The diversity of Xcg strains increased and the dominant strains changed between 1999 and 2017, with three new type strains comprising 44% of the isolates examined in 2012 to 2017. Pathogenicity tests did not show evidence for a shift in the races or aggressiveness of Xcg strains. Korean soybean cultivars, including the widely-grown Daewon cultivar, were susceptible to the 11 new type strains. The cultivar CNS, which carries the rxp resistance gene, was susceptible to most type strains, including two representing 83% of the Korean Xcg strains. In contrast, Williams 82, which also carries rxp, showed resistance to at least five type strains. Collectively, these results suggest that Williams 82 has resistance loci in addition to rxp. The widespread distribution of Xcg, the high virulence of the current endemic strains, and the low resistance of most Korean soybean cultivars collectively favor widespread disease in Korea in years that are favorable to pustule development.

The pepper anthracnose fungus, Colletotrichum scovillei, causes severe losses of pepper fruit production in the tropical and temperate zones. RAC1 is a highly conserved small GTP-binding protein in the Rho GTPase family. This protein has been demonstrated to play a role in fungal development, and pathogenicity in several plant pathogenic fungi. However, the functional roles of RAC1 are not characterized in C. scovillei causing anthracnose on pepper fruits. Here, we generated a deletion mutant (ΔCsrac1) via homologous recombination to investigate the functional roles of CsRAC1. The ΔCsrac1 showed pleiotropic defects in fungal growth and developments, including vegetative growth, conidiogenesis, conidial germination and appressorium formation, compared to wild-type. Although ΔCsrac1 was able to develop appressoria, it failed to differentiate appressorium pegs. However, ΔCsrac1 still caused anthracnose disease with significantly reduced rate on wounded pepper fruits. Further analyses revealed that ΔCsrac1 was defective in tolerance to oxidative stress and suppression of host-defense genes. Taken together, our results suggest that CsRAC1 plays essential roles in fungal development and pathogenicity in C. scovillei-pepper fruit pathosystem.

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) causes severe economic loss in crop productivity of both agriculture and horticulture crops in Korea. The previous surveys showed that naturally available biopolymer material – chitosan (CS), which is from shrimp cells, reduced CMV accumulation on pepper. To improve the antiviral activity of CS, it was synthesized to form phosphate cross-linked chitosan (PCS) and compared with the original CS. Initially, the activity of CS and PCS (0.01%, 0.05%, and 0.1% concentration) compound against PMMoV infection and replication was tested using a half-leaf assay on Nicotiana glutinosa leaves. The total number of local lesions represented on a leaf of N. glutinosa were counted and analyzed with phosphate buffer treated leaves as a negative control. The leaves treated with a 0.1% concentration of CS or PCS compounds exhibited an inhibition effect by 40-75% compared with the control leaves. The same treatment significantly reduced about 40% CMV accumulation measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and increased the relative expression levels of the NPR1, PR-1, cysteine protease inhibitor gene, LOX, PAL, SRC2, CRF3 and ERF4 genes analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction, in chili pepper plants.
RNA Modification and Its Implication in Plant Pathogenic Fungi
Authors: Jeon Junhyun , Lee Song Hee
Published: December 2021

Interaction of a pathogen with its host plant requires both flexibility and rapid shift in gene expression programs in response to environmental cues associated with host cells. Recently, a growing volume of data on the diversity and ubiquity of internal RNA modifications has led to the realization that such modifications are highly dynamic and yet evolutionarily conserved system. This hints at these RNA modifications being an additional regulatory layer for genetic information, culminating in epitranscriptome concept. In plant pathogenic fungi, however, the presence and the biological roles of RNA modifications are largely unknown. Here we delineate types of RNA modifications, and provide examples demonstrating roles of such modifications in biology of filamentous fungi including fungal pathogens. We also discuss the possibility that RNA modification systems in fungal pathogens could be a prospective target for new agrochemicals.

Damping techniques for grid-connected converters with LCL filter: an overview
Authors: Romão Arthur de Abreu , Da Silva Newton
Published: December 2021

Distributed generation systems, based on renewable energy sources, are typically connected to the main grid by a voltage-source inverter with a low-pass filter. The need for improved efficiency led to the use of third order low-pass filters, such as the LCL configuration, which has resonant behavior. In order to meet energy quality requirements and ensure the systems stability it is necessary to suppress the LCL filters resonance through damping techniques. Therefore, this paper presents an overview of some damping strategies found in literature and its design procedure, applied to a simulated single-phase grid-tied inverter. The comparison of each presented damping methodology characteristics is described, with analysis of advantages and drawbacks for each case.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penataan artefak di museum dapat merepresentasikan dan memunculkan kesadaran identitas nasional. Studi kasus dilakukan di Museum Konferensi Asia-Afrika yang memiliki tema sejarah konferensi internasional pertama bagi bangsa-bangsa “kulit berwarna”. Museum yang dibangun di suatu negara cenderung menunjukkan identitas nasionalnya untuk melegitimasi kekuatan bangsa. Terdapat lima aspek yang memengaruhi bagaimana museum dapat mewakili identitas nasional, seperti tema museum, artefak, narasi pada ruang pameran, konsep identitas nasional, dan yang terakhir adalah regulasi sekaligus visi museum. Dalam menjawab pertanyaan utama penelitian, penulis menggunakan metode kualitatif, sehingga ditemukan pengetahuan mendalam dari hasil wawancara dengan informan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa konsepsi identitas nasional dari staf museum yang bertanggung jawab dalam penataan artefak bersifat konstruktif. Identitas nasional adalah bentuk imajinatif dari seluruh komunitas yang ada dalam suatu bangsa. Itulah yang diilustrasikan kurator melalui penataan dan pengorganisasian artefak dengan merepresentasikan peristiwa sejarah bangsa, simbol-simbol bangsa, serta ideologi nasional di ruang pameran Museum Konferensi Asia-Afrika.

Desde hace varias décadas nos vemos desafiados a construir un mundo mejor, que permita satisfacer las necesidades actuales sin comprometer los recursos a futuro. Esto trae consigo el desafío de incorporar la educación para el desarrollo sostenible en el aula escolar desde temprana edad, buscando favorecer el desarrollo de competencias de sostenibilidad desde los primeros niveles educativos. En este escenario, la Educación Matemática en general y la Educación Estocástica en particular presentan gran potencial para el desarrollo de tales competencias. Desde este enfoque, en la primera parte de este artículo se describe el vínculo entre los proyectos estocásticos orientados a la acción y la educación en sostenibilidad y, en la segunda, se presentan experiencias de aprendizaje que utilizan los proyectos estocásticos para la acción como una herramienta para formar en sostenibilidad y allanar el camino hacia la alfabetización estadística y probabilística desde temprana edad. Se concluye que, mediante estas experiencias, los estudiantes, además de iniciarse en la alfabetización estadística y probabilística, reflexionarán y desarrollarán competencias de sostenibilidad, así como tomar conciencia respecto a problemáticas diversas vinculadas a los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible y a generar acciones en pos de un futuro mejor para todos.
