Review of Feels Right: Black Queer Women and the Politics of Partying in Chicago by Kemi Adeyemi (Duke University Press)
Authors: Oktay Naz
Published: May 2024

Following the movements of Black queer women on queer dance floors in Chicago, Kemi Adeyemi shows how race, feeling, and the geography of the neoliberal city are spatially entangled. Black queer women’s moves on the dance floor reveal, navigate, bend, and upset those entanglements that overdetermine their rights to feel, to belong, and to take place in the city. Black queer women do not dance to escape the realities of their everyday lives. Rather, they dance for moments where they can collectively reimagine, redefine, and reclaim their rights to feel good, their rights to take place in the neighborhoods where they are not “supposed to” take place, and ultimately, their rights to the city.
We Are Not (Yet) Nonbinary
Authors: Rohrer Judy
Published: May 2024

I am addressing this paper to other white temporarily-able-bodied settler feminists interested in moving, not just toward a queer (queerer?) horizon, but toward a nonbinary liberatory futurity as a collective political aspiration (not an identitarian goal of self-actualization). In this paper, I consider how we might mobilize the nonbinary as a freedom practice, a practice building toward a future where we are all free. Imagining and creating a liberatory inclusive future necessarily requires dismantling the constrictions of reproductive futurity, constrictions built on binary analytics. This paper begins with an outline of how a sense of urgency, legal and medicalized frameworks, and anti-victimism have dominated post- Dobbs responses and reinvigorated an allegiance to retrograde, repressive reproductive futurity. This brief discussion of post-Dobbs responses sets the stage for an exploration of a more expansive, inclusive, collective futurity beyond the settler state, a freer futurity made possible by mobilizing a nonbinary intersectional critique anchored in queer/crip/Indigenous analytics.
Affective Aesthetics
Authors: Xu Chelsea Wenzhu
Published: May 2024

This article examines the meaning‐making work of historical, cultural, and visual references in the 2022 anti-Zero-COVID policy protests in China. Characterized by homemade protest placards, the wave of 2022 grassroots protests were striking, typically citing well-known historical quotes, written in red paint, or the use of plain white paper. Using the frameworks of affect theory and analyses of visual culture, I draw attention to underexamined forms of Chinese cultural and visual traditions of protest, and address the following empirical questions: Which national visual cultural references are mobilized in this contemporary protest; how do people repurpose specific cultural idiosyncrasies to voice political dissent; and how do these references contribute to local political meaning‐making and community-making? Via a qualitative analysis of such signs, this study identifies three types of cultural resources permissible by the state that became co‐opted in the protests: 1) literature from anti-imperial times, 2) motivational slogans and symbols from the cultural revolution, and 3) the contemporary technique of censorship. These references are appropriated for the potential afforded by their recognizability, their affective function to articulate the political cause, and their ability to bypass censorship and generate communities across national and regional boundaries. Examining the A4 Revolution as a paradigmatic case, I argue visual historical citation holds significant aesthetic, affective, and political value, particularly in its capacity to mobilize the masses within undemocratic environments. The affective visuals used in the protests can be read as a performative, strategic, and psychosocial device of "critical inheritance from the bottom up," one that invites citizens to re-access cultural memory and critique the oppressive present.
The Right of Women to the Inheritance of their Husbands’ Estate in Nigeria
Authors: Adeleke Victoria , Diala Anthony C
Published: May 2024

In Nigeria, the legal position of a woman’s rights to both her father’s and husband’s property continues to cause controversy, despite numerous academic efforts to clarify it. A widow’s right to inherit her deceased husband’s property is missing under native laws and customs. This is a significant gap in the legal framework, which perpetuates inequality, even with the human rights principles in post-independence constitutions. This article evaluates the validity of a woman’s claim to inherit her deceased husband’s property. The analysis is limited to Nigeria’s three largest tribes—Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba tribes. A qualitative method of analysis is used to identify best practices from Tanzania, India, South Africa, and English law. The article finds a need for Nigeria’s legal framework to abolish archaic traditional laws that prejudice women, especially widows. It recommends that Nigeria should investigate the status of its customary laws to identify discriminatory customs that require abolition and customary values that require codification. It urges the judiciary to develop the customary laws of Nigerian ethnic groups to conform them with constitutional principles. There is also the need to encourage and promote the work of non-governmental organisations that educate and financially empower women to assert their right to inherit their deceased husbands’ estates.

Published: May 2024

Background:

Colloid cysts are intracranial lesions originating from abnormalities in the primitive neuroepithelium folding of the third ventricle. Various surgical approaches have been explored for the management of colloid cysts, each carrying its own set of advantages and limitations. Tubular retractors developed recently alleviate retraction pressure through radial distribution, potentially offering benefits for colloid cyst resection. This study aims to introduce and assess a modified microsurgical method utilizing the tubular retractor for addressing colloid cysts.

Methods:

The study included a retrospective assessment of patients who had colloid cysts and who were treated between 2015 and 2023 by one experienced surgeon. The demographic, clinical, radiological, histological, and surgical data regarding these patients were evaluated. The patients were assessed using the colloid cyst risk score, indicating a risk for obstructive hydrocephalus.

Results:

The minimally invasive microsurgical approach was successfully applied to all 22 identified patients. No postoperative surgical complications were reported. Gross total resection was achieved in 21 (95.5%) patients. The early complication rate was 22.7% (n = 5). There were no postoperative seizures, permanent neurological deficits, or venous injuries. The average hospital stay was 3 days. There was no evidence of recurrence at an average follow-up length of 25.9 months.

Conclusion:

The transtubular approach is an effective, safe method for treating colloid cysts. It achieves complete cyst removal with minimal complications, offering the benefits of less invasiveness, improved visualization, and reduced tissue disruption, strengthening its role in colloid cyst surgery.

Laser desorption ionization (LDI) is generally considered to be an inferior ionization modality to matrix assisted LDI (MALDI), providing information solely on lipids with low sensitivity. The current study demonstrates that the combination of ambient LDI with in-source surface-induced declustering provides sensitivity and chemical coverage comparable to MALDI. The setup was characterised for infrared laser desorption using two different laser systems and was successfully used for ambient mass spectrometric imaging. 5 µm spatial resolution was achieved enabling single-cell resolution imaging, while metabolites and lipids ranging from amino acids through carbohydrates and nuclear bases to complex glycolipids were successfully detected. The technique was also tested as a platform for MS-guided surgery, raising the possibility of using a single technique for generating histological and in-vivo data. The results suggest that the method can be an important step forward in histological classification for surgery and pathology environments, potentially offering a versatile platform for generating both histological and in vivo data.
Nanoconfinement of Myoglobin and Green Fluorescent Protein in Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): A Molecular Dynamics Study
Authors: Jash Oishika , Balasubramanian Sundaram
Published: May 2024

The chemical and structural diversity, as well as the scope of applications of Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) have expanded over the last decade. In the biomedical domain, they have played a significant role acting as a bio-compatible host platform for delivering cargoes inside cells, including the immobilization of proteins within their pores. The proteins myoglobin and the green fluorescent protein (GFP) have been shown to form inclusion complexes in the isoreticular IRMOF series, i.e., within IRMOF-74-VII-oeg and IRMOF-74-IX, respectively, where -oeg is a short ethylene oxide oligomer. The present work studies these two inclusions using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. We observe that both these inclusions are mainly governed by van der Waals interactions at the protein-MOF interface. The effect of confinement on myoglobin was found to be larger than that of GFP, due to the relatively smaller size difference between the former and its MOF host. The primary signature of the confinement was observed in the root mean squared fluctuations of the protein sidechains. Although experiments could not succeed in the inclusion of myoglobin in IRMOF-74-VII-hex (where -hex is the hexyl group), our simulations suggest that it could be facilely accommodated in the same, suggesting the possibility of kinetic contributions in the experimental observation. Overall, for both the proteins, the tertiary structures and hydration of the surfaces of the proteins were well maintained inside the MOF channels.

This study employs Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Fourier Transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectroscopy to investigate the molecular changes in various parts of the okra plant Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), specifically the exocarp, mesocarp, and seeds. FTIR spectral analysis indicates a notable decrease in starch content and an increase in protein levels across different parts of the okra. Notably, okra seeds are recognized for their abundance of high-quality protein, particularly rich in essential amino acids compared to other plant protein sources. These results provide important new information for nutritional and agricultural applications by highlighting the biochemical composition and variation in nutritional components of the okra plants.
Ortho Arylation of N-Aryl Amides and the Construction of Diagonal Tetraaryldiamines and N-Doped Picenes via BBr3-Derived Dibromoboracycles
Authors: Shinde Ganesh , Ghotekar Ganesh , Sundén Henrik
Published: May 2024

The synthesis of biaryl amides, which are prevalent motifs in bioactive molecules, often necessitates lengthy and inef-ficient procedures. To address these limitations, catalytic C-H activation protocols have emerged, enabling the direct ortho-arylation of aryl amides. However, these protocols often suffer from issues such as lack of selectivity, reliance on stoichiometric oxidants, and the requirement for excess reagents and harsh reaction conditions. To overcome these challenges, we present a novel and highly selective protocol for the ortho-arylation of N-aryl amides and ureas. The high selectivity originates from the directed installation of BBr3 to form a boracycle, which then undergoes cross-coupling with an aryl halide. Our method offers significant advantages, including mild reaction conditions, excellent site-specificity, and scalability. The protocol demonstrates broad compatibility with a diverse range of readily accessi-ble functionalized anilides and aryl iodides, as evidenced by 55 successful examples yielding products in the 30–95% range. Furthermore, our methodology surpasses conventional approaches by facilitating the one-pot selective diagonal diarylation of dianilides. This capability unlocks the construction of previously unattainable diagonal aryl systems, which serve as valuable precursors for the synthesis of diagonal tetraaryldiamines and N-doped picenes, two crucial compound classes in materials science
Protonation of dppbz- and binap-ligated rhodathiaboranes yielding proton, hydride and hydrogen exchange

The reaction of the eleven-vertex rhodathiaborane [8,8,8-(H)(PPh3)2-3-(NC5H5)-nido-7,8-RhSB9H10] (1) with 1,2-bis(dipheylphosphine)benzene (dppbz) and with (S)-(–)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphyl (binap) affords [1,1-(2-dppbz)-3-(NC5H5)-closo-1,2-RhSB9H8] (2) and [1,1-(2-binap)-3-(NC5H5)-closo-1,2-RhSB9H8] (3), respectively. These eleven-vertex closo-rhodathiaborane chelates result from PPh3 ligand substitution at the rhodium centre and nido-to-closo structural cluster transformation driven by H2 loss. Treatment of compounds 2 and 3 with triflic acid (HTfO) leads to the formation of cationic clusters [(dppbz)(NC5H5)RhSB9H9]+ (4) and [(binap)(NC5H5)RhSB9H9]+ (5). In these clusters, the protons bind to the polyhedral clusters, acquiring hydride character and providing chemically non-rigidity that manifests through metal vertex-to-thiaborane pseudo-rotations and concomitant proton tautomerisms. The resulting cations react with hydrogen to form mixtures of protons, hydrogen and hydridorhodathiaboranes in equilibrium. These boron-based metal-hydride mixtures can be formulated as [(dppbz)(NC5H5)RhSB9H11]+ (6) and [(binap)(NC5H5)RhSB9H11]+ (8), resulting from the heterolytic cleavage of the H–H bond with the clusters’ full participation and the addition of hydrogen atoms to the cages. From the reaction mixture of 6 under H2, we have characterized the crystal structure of triflate-substituted [1,1-(dppbz)-3-(NC5H5)-closo-1,2-RhSB9H8] (7). In the reactions, there is conversion of electron and protons into hydrogen and of hydrogen into hydride ligands, demonstrating that these boron-based metal compounds act as electrons reservoirs, capable of promoting multielectron processes.
Vaccine Diplomacy as New Soft Power Effort of US in Dealing with China in Southeast Asia
Authors: Cahayani Ica
Published: May 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic and developed countries' response to the crisis reveal that the landscape of global health governance is changing into a political realm. As countries around the world struggle to secure vaccines to break the COVID-19 chain, superpowers are actively distributing vaccines internationally in an act known as "vaccine diplomacy". The US and China have shown political interests in vaccine diplomacy, which can be seen from the way the two countries respond to achieve vaccine diplomacy targets, especially in strategic countries or regions such as Southeast Asia. This article explains US vaccine diplomacy in Southeast Asia which is considered a form of containing US power against China's vaccine diplomacy which first distributed vaccines in Southeast Asian countries. The US conducts vaccine diplomacy to compete with Chinese vaccines in accordance with the relative advantages of US politics by bringing up various diplomatic actions, namely the discourse on booster vaccines. This research uses the literature review method and the concepts of vaccine diplomacy and counter-strategy diplomacy. The results showed that US vaccine diplomacy is driven by political interests. The agenda of the vaccine diplomacy visit contains a discussion of invitations to stem China's power in the Indo-Pacific and South China Sea.

Published: May 2024

The article presents the results of an environmental survey conducted in the development area of the Taseyev gold deposit of the Baleysky district of the Trans-Baikal Territory. Environmental monitoring was carried out on the most vulnerable component of the natural environment in order to ensure the environmental safety of the facility during the implementation of the construction of a heap leaching complex on the basis of the technogenic waste deposit “Baleyskoy ZIF‑1” of the Trans-Baikal Territory. The current state of the vegetation cover was studied. An analysis of the flora of the technogenically disturbed territory of the Taseevskoye field was carried out. As part of the local monitoring of the gold deposit and its environs, 4 types of plant complexes were identified – forest, meadow-steppe, near-river and synanthropic. According to the results of the study, a satisfactory state of plant communities was revealed. A quantitative indicator of diversity has been established, which is more than 80 species within the boundaries of the allotment. Species listed in the Red Book of the Trans-Baikal Territory, growing in the background areas of this field, are noted. A change in the natural vegetation cover on the area of the technogenically disturbed landscape was recorded as a result of industrial work – the movement of soil masses, dumping and excavation. The territory is covered by a chaotic network of country roads that disturb the soil and soil cover. Along the roads gully erosion is developed. There is a negative impact and a decrease in the recreational ecosystem services of the Baleisky district due to the production activities of gold mining enterprises (insufficient formation of a comfortable environment for the population). The presence of synanthropic communities in the anthropogenically disturbed area with traces of household waste dumps, sewage disposal, changes in the microrelief during industrial development on the river is traced Unda. In general, despite the adverse factors affecting the vegetation, plants adapt to stressful situations, all disturbed areas are capable of self-healing.
Investigation of the long-term variability of the elements of the water balance of the river basin in the modern climate
Authors:   Timirâzevskaâ selʹskohozâjstvennaâ akademiâ, Ismaiylova I.G.
Published: May 2024

The assessment of changes in the elements of the water balance of the Volga River basin in the formation zone near Volgograd for the entire period of the twentieth century and at the beginning of the first half of the XXI century is considered. The conducted retrospective conjugate analysis of the EWB of the Volga River basin is based on the use of sufficiently long hydro meteorological arrays of initial observation data covering the period 1891/1892‑2020/2021. Two time series of annual and seasonal values of atmospheric precipitation, river runoff, total evaporation of land, changes in basin moisture reserves and changes in surface air temperature of the cold and warm periods and the year as a whole are organized. It was established that until 1935, in the long-term course of the runoff of the Volga River basin, natural factors were of decisive importance, i.e. the nature of the humidification of the territory, the regime of total evaporation from its surface and the change in moisture reserves in the soil-soils. Since 1935, the water content of the river has changed. Human economic activity began to have a significant impact on the Volga, especially the operating modes of the Volga-Kama cascade of waterworks. However, anthropogenic influences do not affect the formation of lateral tributaries, which are controlled by 11 reservoirs of the Volga-Kama cascade. Therefore, for a retrospective conjugate analysis of the EWB of the Volga River basin, two conditionally natural time series of different durations were used

Published: May 2024

As part of the development of improving methods for integrated monitoring of dangerous riverbed and slope processes, the authors worked out options for using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and specialized software in order to improve the quality of materials for field surveys of mudslide sites. The reliability of the quantitative determination of the parameters of mudflows is an urgent problem in assessing the spatial and temporal changes in the parameters of mudflow channels. The purpose of this work is to quantify the dynamics of changes in the landscape of residential areas exposed to negative impacts by determining the quantitative values of morphometric parameters of the mudflow channel and the adjacent territory before and after the passage of the mudflow. In particular, the volumes of soil carried away by the flow, as well as the volume of sediments in different sections of the mudflow transit, were determined. By comparative analysis of the results of software processing of materials from the removal of problem areas of the mudflow channel by a quadcopter, the values of the volumes of carried away soil (4376 m3, at the site of destruction by the flow of the highway) and mudflow deposits (above – 4623 m3, and below – 1788 m3 of the highway bridge) were obtained. Such an information base is indispensable in solving the problems of ensuring the safety of settlements and economic facilities from the negative impact of mudflows.

Published: May 2024

The development of methods for the primary diagnosis of pumping units remains an urgent task due to the low cost of assessing the condition of the equipment. The purpose of the study is to analyze the results of post-repair control of the mechanical and electrical parts of hydraulic units using thermograms. During the study, a test pumping unit with controlled defects of the impeller, coupling, bearing and sealing elements was used. The minimum requirements for diagnostic equipment were evaluated. The data was analyzed both in the presence of defects and after their elimination. The article presents the results of the analysis of thermograms of bearing assemblies of centrifugal pumps and drive electric motors. It is indicated that for an effective analysis of equipment, the minimum resolution of thermal imaging equipment should be no more than 0.1 degrees, which makes it possible to effectively analyze the post-repair conditions of the mechanical part.

Authors: George Penny , Abdul Hamid Zariyantey , Abu Bakar Md Zuki , Bharatham B Hemabarathy
Published: May 2024

Cockle shells of the Anadara granosa species consist of 95-99% aragonite form of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals. Aragonites are known to be denser which allows it to be incorporated, resolved and replaced by bone tissues over time when used in bone tissue grafting. An injectable biomaterial-based bone filler with appropriate injectability and biological properties was formulated using powdered cockle shells in nanoscale (nCSP) and sodium alginate (Alg). Initial attempts in formulating the bone filler using alginate and citric acid as a setting agent in the composition of nCSP: Alg of 60: 40, 70: 30 and 80: 20 wt.% produced variable results in the bone filler characterization. Characterization study of nCSP-Alg bone filler with 70:30 wt.% compositions showed excellent injectability (p<0.05), viscosity (p<0.05) and anti-washout ability that was further evaluated through physicochemical analysis, morphology and biocompatibility studies. Scanning electron micrographs revealed plate-like nanocrystal deposits with micropores ranging between 1.5 – 7.4 μm. XRD and FTIR evaluation indicated the presences of peaks associated with aragonite form of CaCO3. Biocompatibility studies with MG63 osteoblast showed osteoconductivity of the bone fillers with excellent cell adherence, growth and subsequent mineralization of the matrices. In conclusion, nCSP-Alg biomaterial-based bone filler with 70:30 wt.% compositions shows promising use as a cost effective bone grafting material for clinical application in the field of bone tissue engineering.
Crisi ambiental i construcció de nous vincles socials
Authors: Antolín Iria José Enrique
Published: May 2024

En la modernitat tardana està reconfigurant-se la manera de transmetre i comunicar la crisi climàtica. El concepte de risc, entés com una contingència, hi té una rellevància central per a entendre-la. No n’hi ha prou amb definir el risc científicament, també cal definir-lo socialment (el que és assumible o el que no); això genera un escenari d’incertesa en què els subjectes es veuen obligats a prendre decisions. En aquest context, les xarxes socials adquireixen una preeminència important a l’hora de comunicar i transmetre aquesta incertesa a través de les pàgines web, Internet, xats… Es configura un nou espai relacional: missatges breus, ús intensiu d’imatges emocionals, desancoratge (ruptura de l’espaitemps). D’altra banda, aquesta contingència, marca una relació nova entre ciència i política. La necessitat de reduir la incertesa social redefineix les relacions entre tots dos àmbits: la política necessita la ciència per a justificar-ne les decisions i la ciència cada vegada es veu més involucrada en les decisions polítiques. En un moment en què els processos d’individualització caracteritzen les societats avançades, cal reconstruir els vincles socials per a respondre a la crisi ecològica. Aquesta reconstrucció passa per generar nous llaços a partir de la identitat entre iguals, no des de l’acció col·lectiva. Aquesta nova situació ha donat origen a un nou comunitarisme. La tesi que es defensa ací és que assistim a un escenari en què s’està redissenyant l’espai relacional a l’hora de transmetre i comunicar la crisi climàtica, un fet que afecta la manera de construir els vincles socials en la modernitat tardana.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN TEXTILE AND FASHION WORLD
Authors: Bansode Purva , Goyal Pratima
Published: May 2024

Before 1949, computers lacked intelligence. They could not record commands, but they could carry them out. However, between 1957 and 1974, artificial intelligence flourished. Computer storage has increased, as has speed, cost, and accessibility. Artificial intelligence (AI) means that machines can perform various jobs that humans or animals need to do with their natural intelligence. The fathers of artificial intelligence, Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy, defined artificial intelligence in 1950. Artificial intelligence enables machines to understand and achieve certain goals. Deep learning, on the other hand, makes it possible to absorb huge amounts of unstructured data in the form of text, images and audio. Artificial intelligence is appearing in almost every industry that is the future of humanity. It will also be the driving force behind new technologies such as big data, robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the near future. Computer algorithms and machine learning have been widely used in textile testing since the 1980s. Testing and quality control functions can be handled by image processing, automation, deep learning and neural networks. Most of the textile industry today uses computer-aided machinery to produce certain designs on a larger scale and more efficiently. AI can access maintenance data in real time to provide insights that can be used to increase operational efficiency. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) technology makes it easier to improve the quality of life in the industry and detect defects, check patterns, match colors and classify fabrics for textile production more objectively. It also precisely defines the advantages of fine, solid and staple fiber. The use of artificial intelligence in the manufacture of textiles has emerged with a new possibility, i.e. smart clothes that use the Internet of Things and electronic sensors to create a more pleasant health experience. In this article, the researcher tried to give an overview of the artificial intelligence used in the textile industry.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BENDING STRENGTH AND POROSITY IN CERAMIC BRICK THAT CONTAINS VERMICULITE
Authors: Önen Umut , Boyraz Tahsin
Published: May 2024

This study focused on the characterization, product, and relationship between bending strength and porosity of ceramic bricks with added vermiculite. To achieve this goal, pre-made bodies containing 0%, 10%, and 20% calcined vermiculite by weight were mixed in to create the body compositions. Alumina ball manufactories homogenized fusions (60 rpm, 24 hours) were molded through uniaxial dry pressing (100 MPa). Additionally, the arranged samples were heated to a temperature of 800-1000 °C for a duration of 1 hour. Tests involving phase analysis (XRD), microstructure (SEM), mechanical properties (three point bending), and physical characteristics (Porosity, water absorption, shrinkage and bulk density) were carried out on the demitasse bodies that were manufactured. The data that was collected was displayed in graphs and tables, showing the results. As a result, the packages containing samples of vermiculite were effectively created, and the best parameters were easily displayed. The findings indicate that the quality of flawed packages improves as calcined vermiculite levels rise. Following the characterization results, the correlation between bending strength and porosity was investigated. Correlations, t-tests, and p-values were computed. The inclusion of vermiculite in ceramic bricks results in a significant negative correlation of -0.769 between their bending strength and porosity characteristics.

Authors: Wijaya C. Hanny , Sobir Sobir , Lioe Hanifah Nuryani
Published: May 2024

Bawang merah goreng merupakan produk olahan bawang dengan pangsa pasar yang stabil. Saat ini belum ada kriteria mutu baku bawang goreng berdasarkan keinginan konsumen. Pemahaman mutu yang valid diperlukan dalam pengembangan produk terstandar, termasuk pemilihan bahan baku. Bawang goreng tanpa salut, berwarna coklat cerah, utuh, rasa gurih, aroma wangi khas bawang goreng, tidak tengik dan tidak pahit merupakan kriteria yang diinginkan oleh konsumen. Penelitian terhadap 6 varietas unggul bawang merah, yaitu Bima Brebes, Bauji, Super Philip, Rubaru, Tajuk dan Batu Ijo, menunjukkan bahwa penciri fisiko kimia umbi yang unggul sebagai bahan baku bawang merah goreng adalah bobot umbi besar, kadar karbohidrat sedang, kadar total asam amino sedang, dan kadar piruvat tinggi. Varietas Batu Ijo, disamping produktivitasnya tinggi juga menghasilkan bawang goreng dengan krtieria mutu unggul, dibanding 5 varietas lain, termasuk varietas Rubaru atau lebih dikenal sebagai varietas “Sumenep” yang selama ini dikenal sebagai bahan baku bawang goreng.

Authors: Tiryana Tatang , Rusolono Teddy , Muhdin Muhdin
Published: May 2024

Untuk mewujudkan kelestarian hasil tegakan merbau diperlukan metode pengaturan hasil yang tepat. Namun sampai saat ini, pemerintah masih menggunakan metode pengaturan hasil yang bersifat umum untuk seluruh jenis tegakan, sehingga tidak cocok untuk tegakan merbau yang riapnya rendah dan populasinya jarang. Alternatifnya, pengaturan hasil tegakan merbau dapat menggunakan metode pengaturan hasil berbasis dinamika struktur tegakan. Metode tersebut dapat membantu pengelola hutan untuk menentukan jatah tebang tahunan dan merumuskan berbagai skenario pengaturan hasil sesuai dengan tujuan pengelolaan dan karakteristik tegakan merbau yang dikelolanya. Dalam implementasinya, metode tersebut dapat mendorong pengelola hutan untuk memperbaiki praktik praktik-praktik pengelolaan hutannya menjadi lebih baik.

ABSTRACT
The development of the world of communications and marketing continues to experience significant improvements. Many companies are taking advantage of this development to market the products and services they provide. One of them is Hairnerds Studio which has 3 million followers on the TikTok social media account. Through their videos and interactive posts, they have succeeded in gaining the attention of a wide audience. However, the problem faced is that Hairnerds Studio invites the public to tip or give more money to barbers throughout the area and invites barbers to continue to improve their abilities in order to increase the prices of their services. For this reason, the main aim of this writing is to analyze and describe how the public receives content on TikTok Hairnerds Studio using reception analysis initiated by Stuart Hall in 2023. The research method used is qualitative-descriptive. Researchers decided to use several main respondents who met the main requirements, namely: 11) Informants who are followers of the Hairnerds Studio account, 2) Barbers who follow the Hairnerds Studio TikTok account, 3) Over 22 years old. The achievement target to be achieved is to provide scientific publications with national accreditation. From the research results, it was found that 5 informants were in a dominant position regarding the audience's interpretation of the acceptance of the exhibition of their work and education on the TikTok Hairnerds Studio account. Meanwhile, the audience's interpretation of the invitation to help the welfare of barbers/barbershops in each region showed that 5 informants were in a negotiating position. In conclusion, the public understands well what Hairnerds Studio is campaigning for but does not fully agree with their calls in certain matters.

Education Faculty Perspectives on a Borrowed Teacher Education Initiative in Northern Pakistan: A Call for Engaging the Discourses of Policy Borrowing and Decolonzation
Authors: Niyozov Sarfaroz , Khan Abdul Wali
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This qualitative case study examines the Education Faculty Perspectives (EFPs) of the Karakoram Public International University in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, on teachers' experiences of a recently introduced education reform (an Honor's Bachelor of Education program [B. Ed Hons] mandated by Pakistan's Higher Education Commission (HEC) in 2010. The B. Ed Hons has replaced the existing pre-service programs nationwide. Our analysis identified several paradoxical themes about borrowing of the B. Ed Hons: at the "talk"/rhetoric level, the program was welcomed as a transformative shift in teacher education; at the "walk"/ implementation level, its practicality and sustainability became complicated; at the decolonisation level, the discourses on the colonial nature of knowledge and North-South dependency were muted. Implications for moving from borrowing external "best practices" to producing local solutions are highlighted. The analysis suggests the contextual realities and challenges should be addressed, individual and structural capacities developed, and an incremental, critical-constructive approach to both external and local ideas be pursued, and decolonization discourse included.
