Maringkik is a small island located in the south of the island of Lombok which is included in the territorial area of East Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Gili Meringkik fishermen are active in catching fish using boats whose raw materials are made of wood which is prone to leakage. In the condition of a leak, the fishermen pump water into their boats or experience manual leakage continuously. Based on these problems, an automatic device is needed as a water pump in fishing boats to increase the amount of production. The device is a water pump on a boat using an Arduino microcontroller-based Ultrasonic Sensor. The research was conducted to build a water pump that enters the fishing boat automatically. The working system of this tool is if any water enters the bottom floor of the ship with the ultrasonic sensor water level when it detects the water level is, and the water pump will be active to immediately suck the water out of the ship so that the ship does not sink. This tool can help fishermen with removing the water that enters the boat. In addition, so that fishermen can easily control the boat from afar, this tool is able to discharge water on fishing boats automatically when the water level has exceeded the height limit, which interferes with sailing.

Utilizing solar energy as an alternative energy source for Indonesia's electricity needs is very appropriate because it is located in a tropical area with hot sunlight available all year round. Considering that in rural areas in Indonesia there are still many public road accesses that are not equipped with street lighting and the problem stems from the use of conventional electrical energy as a source of street lighting. The use of photovoltaics (PV) as a tool to produce electrical energy with the advantages of being environmentally friendly, low maintenance costs and zero emissions and the energy needed is available in nature and is always renewable (renewable energy). The 1 DOF (Degree OF Freedom) solar tracker mechanic is used to find the point where the sunlight is optimal, which aims to produce maximum solar panel output during energy conversion. Based on the test results, it can be concluded that solar-powered public street lighting (PJU-TS) using a mechanical solar tracker delay of 2 seconds produces a daily energy conversion of 235.20 Wh, which is more optimal than solar-powered public street lighting (PJU-TS) with solar tracker delay. 2.5 seconds amounting to 218.75 Wh and solar powered public street lighting (PJU-TS) without a solar tracker amounting to 171.34 Wh.

Published: March 2024

To hasten the implementation of SDGs at the local level, policymakers are stressing the role of local governments. This study investigates the local government’s capacity and role in the effective implementation of SDGs in Pakistan. The data is gathered from the Household Integrated Economic Survey of Pakistan from 2004 to 2019, from which indicators were created using key variables. Based on these indicators, regression analysis shows that there is less chance that the individual will use government healthcare facilities when the local government is suspended (SDG-3, Good Health Being). Similarly, suspension of local governments leads to a small reduction in the average number of years of schooling (SDG-4, Quality Education). Moreover, there is less chance that the individual will have toilet facilities when the local government is suspended (SDG-6, Clean Water and Sanitation). To expedite the localisation of the SDGs in Pakistan, the study recommends that the state should empower their local bodies to a greater extent which would allow the local bodies to work independently of external pressures for the betterment of their communities.

Authors: Duran Hüseyin , Ghaly Nashwa A. , Gürdil Gürkan A. K.
Published: March 2024

Nowadays, one of the main goals of agriculture is to meet the needs of human communities in all countries through more efficient and high-quality production in agricultural areas. The incorporation of technological advancements, particularly agricultural mechanization, has become imperative for enhancing agricultural production. In recent years, the growing need and inclination to minimize reliance on human labor have heightened the significance of agricultural mechanization, its continual development, and its integration into agricultural operations. The progress of agriculture is intricately tied to the adoption of production technologies within the agricultural sector. The heightened integration of new and contemporary technologies in agriculture can elevate agricultural productivity and income while concurrently lowering production costs. The degree of a country's agricultural development is inherently linked to the utilization of production technologies within its agricultural practices. This research aims to study the existing state of agricultural mechanization in Türkiye and Egypt by identifying and measuring important indicators of the mechanization level of farming, focusing on conducting a comparative analysis between the two countries. Türkiye has a total cultivated area of approximately 23 million hectares, whereas Egypt's cultivated area is around 3 million hectares. Tractors equipped with mechanical power supplies, constituting a fundamental energy source in agriculture, in this study are estimated to be approximately 1.354.912 and 135.100 in Türkiye and Egypt, respectively. The results showed that the levels of mechanization in Türkiye and Egypt were represented by engine power per hectare (1.28 kW/hectare and 0.93 kW/hectare), the number of tractors per 1000 hectares (58.91 tractor /1.000 hectare, and 45 tractor /1.000 hectare) and the cultivated area per tractor (16.97 ha/tractor and 22.21 ha/tractor), respectively. Additionally, the average tractor power in Egypt and Türkiye reached 33-41 kW and 44-52 kW, respectively.

Vermicompost is considered an environmental quality for managing agricultural residues since it improves soil structure, provides nutrients, and helps to reduce environmental impact. The objective of this study was to determine the residence time using a kinetic model of carbon mineralization while also evaluating chemical and biological parameters obtained during vermicompost processing. Earthworms (Eisenia fetida) were used comparing different doses of residual sludge (LR) at 0, 10, 20, and 40 Mg, keeping constant the dose of domestic waste (RD) and cattle manure (EV) at a ratio of 1:1 (dry basis). An AxB factorial design was used, where A represented the LR dose and B the type of residues (RD and EV); thus, eight treatments with nine replicates were compared. The pH, organic matter (MO), total nitrogen, C/N ratio, respiratory activity, C mineralization, and residence time were determined. The results of the treatments indicate a slightly alkaline trend. MO was different among treatments, with a higher MO percentage in EV and LR with 40 Mg of LR (28.92 ± 10.78 %, F(7,88) = 2.63, p ≤ 0.01). The total N percentage was low, but the treatment containing 40 Mg of LR and RD (1.04 ± 0.62 %, F(7,88) = 3.87, p < 0.01) stood out. C/N ratios < 20, which indicate stability, were recorded in the treatments with LR and EV. The vermicompost obtained from 40 Mg of LR and EV complied with a minimum residence time (less than 70 days) throughout processing, making it an excellent choice for agricultural use.
ANALYSIS FOR MULTIPLE RESPONSES IN A COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN

Published: March 2024

Multiple responses are often generated in agricultural and forestry research. For example, the moisture content, fatty acids, carbohydrates, size, diameter, length, shape, and hardness, among other characteristics, are measured in cottonseeds. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) can be useful for multiple response analysis when differences in treatment effects are to be determined. However, the performance of current post hoc tests in this context is not satisfactory due to the limitations of the available methods or because they are difficult to use for non-statistician researchers. Furthermore, this methodology requires the assumptions of multivariate normality and homogeneity of variance and covariance matrices, assumptions that are difficult to verify if the sample size is small. This research proposes an alternative analysis to test the hypothesis of equality of effects between treatments and post hoc tests in the case of multiple responses. An asymptotic result is demonstrated for the random variable generated in the proposal for the case of uncorrelated normal variables, and the case for correlated normal random variables is left open. A simulation study shows that the performance of the proposal with small samples is satisfactory in terms of power and that it has advantages compared to MANOVA. Furthermore, the methodological approach allows for post hoc testing in the case of multiple responses in the completely randomized experimental design.

Authors: Abhinav Datta  , Piyush Parkhey  , Tripti Bhatnagar
Published: March 2024

Pesticides are organic compounds widely used in agriculture for increasing agricultural yield, soil productivity and to control the insect vectors for prevention of various plants, human and animal epidemics. Pesticides are widely distributed in our ecosystem. Organophosphates are found to be one of the most common group of pesticides found across the world. However, excessive and indiscriminate use of pesticides have generated a number of environmental problems such as release of toxic waste in the environment resulting to contamination of air, water and terrestrial ecosystem. In order to control the harmful effects of pesticides, multiple attempts have been made like the use of physical, chemical, biological and enzymatic approaches to reduce pesticides. However, physical and chemical methods have proven to be inefficient. One of the most promising field of biotechnology that offers a novel approach to degrade the pesticides is bioremediation. Bioremediation uses microorganisms, microbial or plants enzymes to detoxify contaminants in the soil and other environments. Three group of microorganisms i.e., bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi have been found to degrade the pesticides. Bacterial group involved in degradation includes Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium, Arthrobacter, Paracoccus, Aerobacter, Alcaligens, and Sphingomonas. Fungi having potential bioremediation capacities includes Fusarium, Aspergilus niger, Penicillium, Oxysporum. Streptomycetes have been found to degrade pesticides among the actinomycetes group. This review highlights various aspects of microbial degradation of pesticides including the types of pesticide degrading microbes and mechanism of degradation.

Comparing Machiavelli and Aristotle’s Advice for Tyrants
Authors: Jung Yeonho
Published: March 2024

Machiavelli’s advice, which is on the basis that a prince wishes to attain glory, is that the prince must be able to undertake ferocious actions. To achieve glory, a prince ought to have powers, and to achieve glory with this power, this power needs to be used effectively. One ought to do what is best for the people, which could entail vicious deeds. But, since the ruler only needs to have a reputation and legacy of virtue instead of acting virtuous at all times, Machiavelli argues that one ought to act vicious when necessary, with temperance, prudence, and timing. Aristotle, however, offers an alternative, urging the tyrant to become king-like for the sake of both his own safety and the people. Upon assessing the two’s colliding advice along with modern psychological evidence, Aristotle’s advice is wiser.

Bu makale, çağdaş Arap edebiyatının önde gelen isimlerinden Suriyeli yazar Zekeriya Tâmir’in öykülerinde Arap bireylerin siyasi, toplumsal ve dinî otoritelere karşı gösterdiği itaat ve başkaldırı temalarını derinlemesine inceler. Araştırma, Tâmir’in öykülerinde sıklıkla rastlanan itaatkâr tavırların yanı sıra, bu otoritelere karşı sergilenen direniş anlarını detaylı bir şekilde ele almakta, öykülerdeki siyasi otoriteye karşı direniş, toplumsal normlara ve baskılara meydan okuyan karakterler ve dinî otoriteye itiraz eden öykü kahramanlarının tutumları üzerine odaklanır. Seçilen öyküler, örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiş ve Arapça asıllarından Türkçeye sadık bir şekilde çevrilmiştir. İçerik analizi sürecinde betimleme ve yorumlama teknikleri kullanılarak, Tâmir’in öykülerindeki otoriteye başkaldırı temasının nasıl işlendiği akademik bir perspektifle değerlendirilmiştir. Tâmir’in öykülerinde, zorba yönetimlerin baskısı altındaki bireylerin genellikle boyun eğme eğiliminde olduğu ancak bazen otoriteye karşı çıkan ve özgürlük arayan karakterlerin umut dolu anlarına da yer verilir. Toplumsal otoriteye başkaldırıda, toplumun bireyler üzerindeki baskısı ve bu baskının yarattığı çatışmalar ele alınır. Kadın karakterlerin baskılara karşı başkaldırısı ve cinsiyet eşitliği konusu da vurgulanır. Dini otoriteye başkaldırı, dinin bireyler üzerindeki etkisini ve bireylerin bu etkiye nasıl karşı koyduklarını inceler. Öykülerde dinî kuralların sorgulandığı, reddedildiği ve bireylerin kendi inançlarını arama sürecine odaklanılır. Bu üç tema aracılığıyla, bireyin otoriteye karşı duruşunun ve kişisel özgürlük arayışının önemi ve zorluğu vurgulanır. Tâmir’in öyküleri, bireylerin toplumsal, siyasi ve dinî baskılara karşı direnme gücüne ve cesaretine dikkat çeker.

Purpose

Technical differences may explain why elite hurdles specialists (EHS) and elite decathletes (ED) perform differently in the 110-metre hurdles. This study aims to compare the hurdle-unit kinematic parameters in EHS and ED.

Methods

A total of 20 male athletes were recruited, including 10 EHS (age: 20.9 ± 2.2 years, body mass: 76.9 ± 7.0 kg, height: 1.85 ± 0.05 m) and 10 ED (age: 20.8 ± 2.27 years, body mass: 87.7 ± 6.9 kg, height: 1.91 ± 0.03 m). Their three-dimensional movement was analysed for hurdling sequences over the whole hurdle-crossing phase and the entire cycle of the first stride after the hurdle, with spatial, temporal, and angular characteristics compared between groups.

Results

EHS were characterised by faster hurdle crossing (p = 0.002), shorter stride length over the hurdle (p = 0.002), and a shorter support phase in the first stride post-hurdle (p = 0.005). The centre of mass (CM) path of ED was higher than that of EHS (p = 0.003). EHS attack the hurdle with the lead leg’s knee significantly more flexed (p = 0.001) and after crossing the hurdle, regain contact with the ground with the lead leg more flexed at the hip level (p = 0.004), the trunk more inclined forward (p = 0.01), and a relatively smaller positioning angle of the supporting leg (p = 0.021).

Conclusions

EHS can be identified by their reduced impulse time, abbreviated take-off phase over the hurdle, and accelerated landing. Furthermore, EHS achieved optimum speed between obstacles faster, resulting in less speed loss and enhanced performance.

Published: March 2024

Background
The purpose of the study was to assess the individual factors predisposing to neonatal asphyxia, to find out the community factors predisposing to neonatal asphyxia, and to determine the health-related factors predisposing to neonatal asphyxia.
 Methodology
A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed to collect data from 50 respondents. A purposive sampling technique was used and data obtained was presented in tables and figures.
 Results
The results of the study reported that individual factors predisposing to neonatal asphyxia were, the majority (82 %) of the respondents had attended antenatal care three times, more than half (52 %) of the respondents reported that they had been diagnosed with severe malaria during pregnancy, the majority (76 %) of the respondents reported to have experienced prolong labor for more than 8 hours.
The findings on the community factor showed that the majority (74 %) of the respondents delivered from the hospital, and most (46 %) of the respondents delivered from home by unskilled relatives.
Findings on health facility factors were, that 56 % of the respondents had nighttime deliveries, 46 % of the respondents had daytime deliveries, more than half (52 %) of the respondents had been delivered by medical interns alone and the majority (66 %) of the respondents reported that the hospital was less prepared for neonatal emergencies.
 Conclusion
Poor antenatal care attendance, severe malaria, prolonged labor, night-time delivery, delivery by medical interns alone, and less preparedness of the hospital for neonatal emergencies were the factors predisposing to neonatal asphyxia.
 Recommendation
Pregnant mothers should ensure complete attendance of antenatal care to promote successful pregnancy outcomes, proper guidance to be given to medical interns attending labor by experienced midwives to ensure better delivery outcomes, and health workers attending labor should always be prepared to handle neonatal emergencies.

Published: March 2024

Aims: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is based on stimulation of brain tissue with an electrical current and the induction of generalized convulsions. The aim of this study was to compare the use of rocuronium as a muscle relaxant and sugammadex as an antidote during ECT with succinylcholine in terms of its effect on adequate anesthesia, hemodynamics, and recovery.
Methods: This study was planned as a single-center prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed observational cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups as group S (succinylcholine) and group R+S (rocuronium and sugammadex). Patients were premedicated with 0.5 mg of atropine I.M. half an hour before the procedure. Propofol 1mg/kg was administered as an induction agent in both groups, succinylcholine 1mg/kg in Group S, and rocuronium 0.4mg/kg in Group R+S. Sugammadex 2mg/kg was administered as a rocuronium antidote. Vital signs were monitored throughout the procedure with ECG, spo2, and blood pressure monitoring.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (Group S and Group R+S) in the time to return for spontaneous respiration (p=0.002). The mean SSS value was 111.78 seconds in Group S and 88.82 seconds in Group R+S. There was a statistically significant difference between the spontaneous eye-opening times between Group S and Group R+S. (p=0.017) The mean SGA value was 211.42 seconds in Group S and 173.12 seconds in Group R+S. There was a statistically significant difference between Group S and Group R+S in the duration of modified Aldrete score 9 (p=0.000<0.05). The mean duration of MAS 9 was 542.60 seconds in Group S and 410.54 seconds in Group R+S.
Conclusion: In conclusion, although the high cost of rocuronium sugammadex limits its routine use in ECT anesthesia, it can be used as an ideal alternative agent in cases where succinylcholine is contraindicated or anticholinesterases are not suitable because it shortens the recovery time and the time to return of spontaneous respiration compared to succinylcholine.

It is evident that education must continue despite the health crisis that the success of virtual laboratories during the new normal education presents a significant challenge for both instructors and students. The study determined the experiences of eight Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Science students of the Bukidnon State University, College of Education, in virtual laboratory activities amid the COVID-19 pandemic during the academic year 2020-2021. Since the focus of this qualitative action research is on learners' experiences in science-related activities, Husserl's descriptive phenomenological research approach was employed. The open-ended questions were taken from Reece's (2015) study and adjusted accordingly. Interviews were conducted using an online platform to gather data. To draw conclusions about the learning experiences that the students had while participating in the virtual laboratory, the researchers used qualitative descriptions that made use of themes and frames to examine the students' responses. Six overarching themes emerged from the data, including learner autonomy, the need for preparation for lab activities, evidence of student learning, presentation, teamwork, and a desire to learn science. Furthermore, a virtual laboratory saves money and time for both teachers and students while also being safe and offering an alternate place. It gives students a ton of opportunities to explore online simulations. To bridge the learning gaps left by the pandemic and create a suitable learning environment for students, virtual laboratory integration is a calculated approach. As a result, it provides a positive and adaptable learning environment that helped students understand the significance of science and technology and how crucial it is to create a safer community.

Abstract. Clay shrinkage, which consists of a reduction in the volume of clay soils during dry periods, can affect buildings and cause subsidence damage. In France, losses due to subsidence are estimated at more than EUR 16 billion for the period 1989–2021 (CCR, 2021) and are expected to increase under the effect of climate warming. This work aims to improve the current understanding of the conditions triggering subsidence by proposing an innovative drought index. We use a daily soil wetness index (SWI) to develop a new annual drought index that can be related to subsidence damage. The SWI is derived from simulations of soil moisture profiles from the interactions between soil–biosphere–atmosphere (ISBA) land surface model developed by Météo-France. The ability of the drought index to correlate with insurance claim data is assessed by calculating the Kendall rank correlation over 20 municipalities in France. The insurance data, aggregated by year and municipality, are provided by the Caisse Centrale de Réassurance (CCR). A total of 1200 configurations of the drought index are considered. They are generated by combining different calculation methods, ISBA simulation settings, soil model layers, and drought percentile thresholds. The analysis includes a comparison with the independent claim data of six additional municipalities and with a record of official “CatNat” (the French national natural disaster compensation scheme) decrees, useful for the analysis. The best results are obtained for drought magnitudes based on SWI values of the 0.8-to-1.0 m deep soil layer, an ISBA simulation with interactive leaf area index (LAI), and consideration of low drought SWI percentile thresholds. Comparison with claim data shows that drought magnitude is able to identify subsidence events while being spatially consistent. This drought magnitude index provides more insight into subsidence triggers while benefiting from advanced land surface modeling schemes (interactive LAI, multilayer soil). This work paves the way for more reliable damage estimates.

Prolonged physical and mental health changes, known as post-COVID conditions (PCC), could impair the quality-of-life (QoL) of healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to identify factors that contribute to cognitive impairments and QoL among COVID-19 survivors working as healthcare workers. This cross-sectional study involved healthcare workers at Prof. Dr. Chairuddin P. Lubis Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Medan, Indonesia. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess the cognitive function, while the World Health Organization Quality-of-Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire was used to evaluate the QoL. Factors associated with cognitive and QoL status were examined using Mann-Whitney and Chi-squared tests. A total of 100 COVID-19 survivors were included in the study, most of whom were female (74%), aged ≤35 years (95%), and were doctors (62%). Only 22% of the participants had a normal BMI, 93% had a history of mild COVID-19, and 54% had one comorbidity. The Overall MoCA score averaged 24.18±2.86, indicating mild cognitive impairment among the groups. The distribution of MoCA scores had similar patterns with no significant differences based on age, gender, comorbidities, BMI, COVID-19 severity, and frequency of infection. Interestingly, the number of vaccine doses received by the participants had a statistically significant associated with MoCA scores of which those receiving more than two doses had higher cognitive scores than those with only two doses (p=0.008). Based on categorized MoCA scores (normal vs cognitive impairment), none assessed factors were not significantly associated with cognitive outcomes. The WHOQOL-BREF scores ranged from 62.5 to 95.5, with a mean of 83.67±7.03. None of the assessed factors were associated with WHOQOL-BREF scores among COVID-19 survivors. These findings highlight the need for further study to explore the protective role of vaccination frequency in cognitive impairment and the factors underlying the resilience in QoL among survivors.
