Authors: Huang Bin , Yang Nuorong , Ma Liutao , Wei Lexia
Published: April 2024

With the modernization of agriculture, the application of unmanned agricultural special vehicles is becoming increasingly widespread, which helps to improve agricultural production efficiency and reduce labor. Vehicle path-tracking control is an important link in achieving intelligent driving of vehicles. This paper designs a controller that combines path tracking with vehicle lateral stability for four-wheel steer/drive agricultural special electric vehicles. First, based on a simplified three-degrees-of-freedom vehicle dynamics model, a model predictive control (MPC) controller is used to calculate the front and rear axle angles. Then, according to the Ackermann steering principle, the four-wheel independent angles are calculated using the front and rear axle angles to achieve tracking of the target trajectory. For vehicle lateral stability, the sliding mode control (SMC) is used to calculate the required direct yaw moment control (DYC) of the vehicle, and wheel torque distribution is carried out considering the front and rear axle loads and road adhesion coefficient. CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink were chosen to build a joint simulation platform, and simulation experiments were conducted under two working conditions: high adhesion road surface and low adhesion road surface. The simulation results showed that the controller designed in this paper can improve the lateral stability of the vehicle while ensuring good path-tracking accuracy.

The Bima Sandstone is an alluvial fan to braided river sedimentation that represents purely a siliciclastic depositional system. It is the  oldest formation and the main reservoir unit in the entire Benue Trough. Porosity loss is an essential component of petroleum reservoirs  that needs to be properly investigated for the purpose of hydrocarbon exploitation. Compaction and cementation processes are partly  responsible for porosity loss in many known reservoirs around the world. Outcropping units of the formation around Lakwaime and  Dogon Dutsi in Yola Sub-basin have been subjected to an integrated approach involving field observations, petrographic analysis and  porosity measurements in order to understand the contribution of each of the processes. Modal composition of the samples shows that  they are mostly lithic arkose to feldspathic litharenite, with quartz as the most common detrital mineral grain. Grain fracturing has been  attributed to mechanical compaction, whereas grain contacts like sutured and concavo-convex are products of chemical compaction. The  average values of compactional-porosity loss (COPL), cementational-porosity loss (CEPL), and compaction index (ICOMPACT) in the  studied samples stand at 19.51%, 4.18% and 0.82 respectively. The study indicates that the role of compaction in porosity loss is greater  than that of cementation as shown by the COPL-CEPL diagram and, as such considered to be generally responsible for the porosity loss in  Bima Sandstone.

Published: April 2024

The environment faces significant global health challenges due to the presence of heavy metals, with harmful substances being  discharged into the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. This study focused on assessing the cytotoxic effects of heavy metals  recovered from dumpsites on the meristematic tissue of root tips of Allium cepa L. Soil samples, collected from central dumpsites  containing heavy metals, underwent standard procedures. The concentrations of heavy metals in the samples were determined using the  Association Official Analytical Chemist (AOAC) method. Each sample was digested with acids, neutralized with Calcium Oxide (CaO),  and used to grow Allium cepa at varying concentrations, determining the LD50 of each sample. The LD50 concentrations were then  employed to investigate cytotoxic effects on Allium cepa using standard techniques. Processed soil samples yielded Pb, Cr, Cd, Ni, Co, Zn,  Fe, and Cu at different concentrations, many of which exceeded the WHO standard values. The mitotic index ranged from 5.34 ± 0.01 to  10.36 ± 0.00, 5.34 ± 0.00 to 13.16 ± 0.01, 3.36 ± 0.01 to 6.81 ± 0.01, 2.48 ± 0.01 to 13.16 ± 0.01, with the control at 13.32 ± 0.01. Chromosomal  aberrations, including chromosome break, fragmentation, bridge, vagrant, lesion, and sticky C-mitosis, were observed. These alterations  indicated that toxic substances significantly impact DNA sequence.

Authors: Majebi O.E. , Ogunsola K.E. , Kazeem S.A. , Ogunfunmilayo A.O.
Published: April 2024

An import permit is issued by the National Plant Protection Organization of each country, known in Nigeria as the Nigeria Agricultural  Quarantine Service (NAQS), to allow the importation of pest-free plants and prevent the introduction of quarantine pests or check the  entry of regulated non-quarantine pests of imported plant commodities. Issuance of import permits at the Post-Entry Quarantine,  Surveillance and Diagnostic Station (PEQDS), Ibadan is mostly for germplasm materials mainly used for cultivation, which poses a high  risk of pest introduction. Thus, this study investigated the statistical components of the issuance of import permits at the PEQDS using  the Time Series approach to determine the peak period of collection essential for planning phytosanitary activities to mitigate the  introduction of foreign pests. The dataset of the monthly issuance of import permits from January 2012 to July 2022 was analysed. From  the preliminary study, we observed that the series exhibit seasonal and stationary components with no definite trend pattern, hence we  modelled the series using a Seasonal Autoregressive Moving Average (SARIMA) model. Several models were estimated and the best model (SAR(12)) for forecasting the future import permit collectionwas selected based on the forecast accuracy measures. The forecasted  values indicated the highest issuance of import permits in May and September, each year and showed a fluctuating  movement over time in the future. To further prevent pest incursion and facilitate trade, NAQS needs to operate round-the-clock  surveillance, keep its staff on high alert and adequate facilities operational for more effective activities. Other factors responsible for low  and fluctuating issuance of import permits should also be investigated.

Published: April 2024

The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs. Therefore, the objective of this paper was to assess the effects of wonderful kola (Buchholzia coriacea) on biochemical markers such as liver and kidney in alloxan induced diabetic Wistar rats using appropriate standard techniques. The result showed that Buchholzia coriacea seed extract caused significant (p<0.05) reduction in the levels of glucose. The liver function test revealed notable changes in the negative control group compared to the control group, including elevated levels of AST, ALT, ALP, and T.P (*p<0.05). Treatment with Metformin and the high dose of Wonderful Kola exhibited significant improvements in AST, ALT, and ALP levels compared to the negative control (#p<0.05), suggesting potential hepatoprotective effects. The  kidney function test, revealed notable difference In comparison to the control group, the negative control group showed significantly (p<0.05) elevated levels of Urea, Creatinine, K, Na, Cl, T.B, and C.B. Treatment with Metformin demonstrated a significant (p<0.05) decrease in Urea and Creatinine levels compared to the negative control. The low and high doses of Wonderful Kola resulted in significant (p<0.05) reductions in Urea, Creatinine, and T.B levels, with the high dose also significantly decreasing Na and Cl levels compared to the negative control. The methanoic extract of Buchholzia coriacea seed possess hypoglycemic properties and may therefore be beneficial in the management of diabetes mellitus at the above dosage and treatment period. Buchholzia coriacea especially at high doses exhibited protective effects on the liver and kidney biochemical markers in alloxan induced diabetic rats, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic agent.
Case of Application of Essay-type Evaluation and Feedback Using Artificial Intelligence for Liberal Arts Education: Focusing on the basic liberal arts course ‘Understanding Sustainable Development Goals’
Authors: Ha Minsu , Shin Cholkyun
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this study is to reveal the results of cases where artificial intelligence descriptive evaluation and feedback systems were applied in large-scale online liberal arts lectures at universities. For this purpose, we investigated and analyzed the results and satisfaction of descriptive evaluations conducted by students in the online liberal arts course ‘Understanding Sustainable Development’ taken by 2,600 students at University A. As a research method, frequency analysis and trajectory analysis were conducted to confirm changes in student participation rates, and factor analysis was used to cluster and compare students' narrative evaluation response trends. As a result of the analysis, first, more than 60% of the students who took the ‘Understanding Sustainable Development’ course participated even after the 14th week, and more than 70% of the students participated more than 10 times. Second, the students' evaluation scores showed a similar score range in the first week, but the range of scores increased as the 14th week progressed. In addition, there was a group whose score difference reversed around the 7th week, the midpoint of a semester's lectures, so it was possible to identify both the period and the group in which the students' learning needs to be carefully managed. Third, when looking at students' satisfaction with AI quizzes, 86.6% responded positively regarding their active participation in AI-based quizzes, and 83.1% responded positively regarding the usefulness of AI-based quizzes. Meanwhile, the degree of motivation and expansion of AI-based quizzes into other liberal arts classes was relatively low at positive rates of 52.6% and 61.5%, respectively, but was much higher than the negative rates of 19.6% and 11.8%. Through these results, this study confirmed that the artificial intelligence-based narrative evaluation feedback system that provides feedback to individual students has implications in terms of student learning management and quality management of liberal arts courses. In order to improve learners' learning fidelity and increase their academic retention rate in large-scale online liberal arts lectures in the future, interest in and improvement of the evaluation feedback system is essential, and its use can be expanded to other classes that require descriptive evaluation.
Pre-service Teachers' Perspectives on the Integration of Technology in Future Education: Between English Education and Ethics Education Majors
Authors: Lee Doo Yeon , Kim Jeung Deok
Published: April 2024

The current study aimed to investigate the perceptions of pre-service teachers regarding the integration of advanced technologies into future education and to examine whether these perceptions differ significantly based on the pre-service teachers' academic majors. The participants consisted of 110 pre-service teachers majoring in Ethics education and English education at a university in Korea's Gyeongsang Province. A questionnaire comprising 59 items was administered, addressing aspects such as interest in the utilization of advanced technologies, resistance to their use, concerns about their application, and expectations for the future of education over the next decade. Statistical analyses, including a paired t-test, an independent t-test, frequency analysis, and analysis of variance, were employed to examine differences based on variables of gender and major.
The study revealed statistically significant disparities in the perceptions of pre-service teachers from distinct majors, particularly between English education majors and ethics education majors, concerning the incorporation of advanced technologies in education. English education majors demonstrated notably high awareness, particularly in the domain of neural machine translation. Conversely, ethics education majors demonstrated a lower inclination to embrace the use of advanced technologies in their instructional practices. Additionally, ethics education majors expressed the belief that the role of teachers would become more pivotal in classes integrating these technologies. Considering these research outcomes, it becomes evident that future education for pre-service teachers should underscore comprehensive training in both digital technology education and the development of competencies in areas where artificial intelligence cannot replace the role of educators.

Chitons (Polyplacophora) are marine molluscs that can be found worldwide from cold waters to the tropics, and play important ecological roles in the environment. However, only two chiton genomes have been sequenced to date. The chiton Liolophura japonica (Lischke, 1873) is one of the most abundant polyplacophorans found throughout East Asia. Our PacBio HiFi reads and Omni-C sequencing data resulted in a high-quality near chromosome-level genome assembly of ∼609 Mb with a scaffold N50 length of 37.34 Mb (96.1% BUSCO). A total of 28,233 genes were predicted, including 28,010 protein-coding ones. The repeat content (27.89%) was similar to that of other Chitonidae species and approximately three times lower than that of the Hanleyidae chiton genome. The genomic resources provided by this work will help to expand our understanding of the evolution of molluscs and the ecological adaptation of chitons.

Choregraphic education between actuality and modernity
Authors: TALPĂ Svetlana
Published: April 2024

In this article we proposed the study of choreographic education between actuality and modernity. The spirit of innovation is essential in the authentic learning of choreographic education in accordance with the demands of the modern world and boils down to the development of creative imagination. Creativity is a result and, equally, a potentiality of the entire human personality manifested in specific forms. Since ancient times, researchers have been concerned with the discovery of new stages of development that would order knowledge and ensure a sustainable development of the community. Ensuring the choreographic education process with a current and thorough scientific and methodological support leads to increasing the efficiency, relevance and quality of the educational process. Art is a human activity that aims to produce aesthetic values and that uses specific means of expression. Choreographic art, by its synthetic character, exerts a strong psychological and educational influence on those involved in the choreographic activity, as well as on those who receive this activity. Thus, the question of the research problem arises: can we rethink and innovate learning, creating a culture of innovation, which would influence the process of improving and relaunching choreographic education on other qualitatively new, modern tracks of education?

Seiring dengan perkembangan industri perbankan, kebutuhan untuk melindungi kepentingan nasabah sebagai konsumen menjadi semakin penting. Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen menjadi payung hukum dalam memberikan perlindungan terhadap hak-hak nasabah bank. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian yuridis normatif dengan mengkaji peraturan perundang-undangan terkait serta literatur-literatur yang relevan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen memberikan perlindungan hukum bagi nasabah bank, terutama terkait dengan pengaturan klausula baku dalam perjanjian antara bank dan nasabah. Namun demikian, masih terdapat pelanggaran terhadap ketentuan tersebut yang merugikan kepentingan nasabah. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan kepatuhan bank dalam menerapkan Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen serta penegakan hukum yang tegas dalam melindungi hak-hak nasabah bank.

Kasus terkait kepemilikan tanah atas Hak Eigendom Verponding yang mengalami keterlambatan dalam proses konversi, menyebabkan tanah tersebut kembali dikuasai oleh negara. Proses hukum telah berlangsung dari Pengadilan Tingkat Pertama hingga Peninjauan Kembali, di mana keputusan akhir menetapkan bahwa tergugat, secara kolektif, harus Memberikan kompensasi kepada pihak yang mengajukan gugatan terkait kepemilikan tanah yang mereka klaim. Namun, sampai saat ini, tergugat belum memenuhi kewajiban tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah pertama, untuk mengetahui pertimbangan hakim dalam putusan pembayaran ganti rugi atas hak tanah berdasarkan putusan No. 523/pdt.g/2001/Pn.Jaksel, jo. No. 245/pdt/2003/PT.DKI, jo. 611K/pdt/2004, jo. No. 64PK/pdt/2007. Kedua, untuk mengetahui bentuk perlindungan hukum bagi penerima ganti rugi jika sampai jangka waktu pembayaran belum menerima ganti rugi sesuai putusan pengadilan. Metode penelitian yang diterapkan ialah pendekatan normatif dengan menganalisis peraturan perundang-undangan, konsep hukum, dan studi kasus. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pertimbangan hakim dalam kasus tersebut sesuai dengan prinsip hukum dan melibatkan perlindungan hukum yang bersifat represif. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini ialah bahwa hak atas tanah Eigendom tidak dapat dilakukan eksekusi karena tanah tersebut dimiliki oleh negara, dan keputusan pengadilan tidak menetapkan batas waktu pembayaran. Akibatnya, perlindungan hukum bagi para penggugat terkait ganti rugi atas tanah tersebut diperuntukkan dari Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN).

Debido a la potencia y la velocidad, la patada es el gesto técnico más utilizado en el Taekwondo para la obtención de un punto. Por ello, la fuerza explosiva y las variables relacionadas son de interés para el control del entrenamiento y la mejora del gesto técnico. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer la asociación entre la potencia desarrollada en el SJ, el CMJ y la potencia aplicada en las técnicas de patada: Bandal Chagi, Yeop Chagi. En el estudio cuantitativo, transversal con alcance correlacional, participaron 12 atletas a quienes se les midió 7 variables relacionadas a la potencia en la ejecución del SJ y el CMJ. Así mismo, se determinó la potencia de las patadas mediante el Sistema Electrónico de Puntuación de Protección (PSS). De las correlaciones identificadas entre las patadas y los saltos (SJ, CMJ), la patada Bandal Chagui se asoció con una mayor cantidad de variables medidas en el CMJ y en menor medida con el SJ; las correlaciones tanto para el CMJ y el SJ fueron menos en la patada Yeop Chagu. Por lo que se concluye en la especificidad del CMJ en la evaluación de los factores determinantes en el rendimiento del mencionado gesto técnico, no así del SJ.

Abstrat. Due to its power and speed, the kick is the most used technical gesture in Taekwondo to obtain a point. Therefore, explosive strength and related variables are of interest for training control and improving technical gestures. The objective of this study was to determine the association between the power developed in the SJ and the CMJ and the power applied in the kicking techniques: Bandal Chagi and Yeop Chagi. In the quantitative, cross-sectional study with a correlational scope, 12 athletes participated, of whom 7 variables related to power in the execution of the SJ and CMJ were measured. Likewise, the power of the kicks was determined using the Electronic Protection Scoring System (PSS). Of the correlations identified between kicks and jumps (SJ, CMJ), the Bandal Chagui kick was associated with a greater number of variables measured in the CMJ and, to a lesser extent, with the SJ; the correlations for both the CMJ and the SJ were less in the Yeop Chagu kick. Therefore, it is concluded that the CMJ is specific in the evaluation of the determining factors in the performance of the aforementioned technical gesture, but not the SJ.

The quest to enhance athletic performance through increased VO2max levels has led to exploring various training modalities, including the Tuja Shuttle Run, an innovative adaptation of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This study aims to address these gaps by examining the impact of a tailored HIIT protocol—the Tuja Shuttle Run—on the VO2max of young athletes. A total 50 athletes from KONI Kediri district and Keeltjes Soccer Academy, aged 14-17 years were recruited to be research subjects. The development of HIIT in this research was in the form of the Tuja Shuttle Run. The Tuja Shuttle Run intervention was carried out with a frequency of 3x/week for 8 weeks. Meanwhile, VO2max was gauged using the Multi-Stage 20-m Shuttle Run Fitness Test, a field test valued for its practicality despite debates on its precision relative to laboratory measures. Statistical analysis uses paired sample t-test with a significance level of 5%. Based on the results of the paired sample t-test shows that Sig. 0.000 or p ≤ 0.001, so it can be said that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest on the VO2max. Implementing an 8-week Tuja Shuttle Run training program can potentially enhance VO2max in athletes aged 14-17. Based on this research, further studies need to be carried out on the effect of Tuja Shuttle Run training by comparing each sport.

El propósito del presente artículo es comprender los procesos de transición de género vividos y analizados por un estudiante de pedago-gía de educación física de una universidad confesional, situando las principales problemáticas y desafíos que son experimentados en el mencionado proceso. Metodológicamente, se abordó desde un enfoque cualitativo, específicamente un estudio biográfico narrativo. Los principales resultados demuestran que a partir del proceso de hormonización del Informante Clave (IC) se generó otra apariencia- presencia, con efectos sociales radicales en el modo de vivir, disminuyendo la disforia, reafirmación de la identidad, armonizando las propias expectativas e imaginario. En conclusión, la construcción de género es un proceso convoca a una redefinición existencial desde lo estructural-orgánico a lo simbólico-cultural como un continuo, no como una fragmentación o superposición de partes autónomas y escindidas.

Abstract. The purpose of this article is to understand the processes of gender transition experienced and analyzed by a student of physical education pedagogy at a denominational university, locating the main issues and challenges that are experienced in this process. Methodologically, it was approached from a qualitative approach, specifically a narrative biographical study. The main results show that from the process of hormonization of the Key Informant (KI) another appearance-presence was generated, with radical social effects in the way of living, decreasing dysphoria, identity reaffirmation, harmonizing one's own expectations and imaginary. In conclusion, the construction of gender is a process that calls for an existential redefinition from the structural-organic to the symbolic-cultural as a continuum, not as a fragmentation or superposition of autonomous and split parts.

Injuries are common among football players, and the risk factors have been well documented in the literature. This is because football is a high-intensity sport that is performed repetitively, such as jumping, running, and touching opponents when tired. This study aimed to develop a warm-up model for football players after an ankle injury. This type of research was R&D using the Borg & Gall method. The trial design included two stages, namely feasibility testing and effectiveness testing. In conducting the feasibility test, 7 football players were selected using purposive sampling, the feasibility test was carried out, then revised and continued to the effectiveness test stage. The effectiveness test was the final stage trial conducted on 15 football players. Based on these results, the development of a warm-up model was declared feasible to be used as a warm-up activity for athletes after an ankle injury. The post-injury ankle warm-up model was effective in reducing pain and improving functional ability, with a percentage effectiveness of pain reduction of 70.57% and a percentage increase in function of 23.24%. Based on the results of the data obtained from the large-scale test and the effectiveness test, it can be concluded that the warm-up model for football players after ankle injury can reduce pain levels and improve functional abilities so that it can be accepted as a warm-up model that can be used to treat ankle injuries. It is also evident that the effectiveness of the pain scale and functional ability both obtained a significance value smaller than 0.05, namely 0.001.
