Authors: Mola Sebastianus Adi Santoso , Melly Margaretha Delima , Yublina Pandie Emerensye Sofia
Published: May 2024

Mental health is something that needs to be considered properly because if the mental is disturbed then the body also feels the impact. Mental health disorders including depression, stress, and anxiety can affect anyone, especially students. Due to the lack of awareness of mental health in students and the minimal number of clinical psychologists in Indonesia, students are reluctant to see a psychologist. The existence of an expert system for early detection of mental health disorders using the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) with 21 symptoms can help students analyse the level of mental health disorders which are divided into depression, stress, and anxiety. The results of the study based on 100 student data of Nusa Cendana University obtained the system can diagnose mental health disorders including depression, stress, and anxiety with an accuracy rate of expert and system results of 100% which shows that the implementation of the DASS-21 instrument into the system is correct. Findings from the diagnosis results show that most students (70%) suffer from anxiety in the moderate to severe category. However, special attention needs to be paid to students who suffer from moderate to severe depression (37%) and severe to moderate stress (36%).

Authors: Hasibuan Almanico Islamy , Sahara  , Mulatsih Sri
Published: May 2024

Harga daging sapi di Indonesia mengalami fluktuasi dengan besaran yang berbeda antar provinsi. Hal ini diakibatkan oleh permintaan yang tidak dapat dipenuhi oleh produksi domestik terutama saat periode masa pandemi Covid 19 yang sedang terjadi di Indonesia. Kenaikan ini salah satunya disebabkan oleh pandemi Covid-19 yang sedang terjadi di dunia terutama di Indonesia. Letak pusat produksi dan konsumsi yang berbeda cenderung menyebabkan masalah distribusi daging sapi. Biaya transportasi yang tinggi menyebabkan harga di provinsi provinsi-provinsi yang jauh dari pusat produksi daging sapi di Jawa Timur, Nusa Tenggara Timur, dan Nusa Tenggara Barat mengalami peningkatan. Pembatasan yang bertujuan untuk mencegah penyebaran Covid-19 yang diselenggarakan oleh pemerintah juga memperparah permasalahan distribusi daging sapi yang kemudian berujung pada fluktuasi dan disparitas harga daging sapi.

Published: May 2024

The role of Perhutani and local farmers in developing agroforestry in Bogor Forest Management Unit (FMU) is important for carbon sequestration-based climate mitigation efforts. Different compositions of the plants in seven agroforestry systems in four part of Bogor FMU. Farmers adjust the multipurpose crops planted with Perhutani main plants, which are more dominant. The potential mean annual carbon increment based on aboveground carbon stock of agroforestry is between 2.26 to 66.65 tonnes per hectare, while in 2 monocultures land system is between 13.65 to 18.29 tonnes per hectare. The carbon increment in agroforestry systems is better than monoculture because of plant diversity and different ages. Then, carbon revenue using carbon pricing set by the World Bank-FCPF Program in East Kalimantan is in the range of IDR 1,547,325 to IDR 49,292,405 per hectare, using the Social Cost scheme in the range IDR 12,997,535 to IDR414,056,204 per hectare and using domestic carbon tax is range IDR 635.017 to IDR 20,229,441 perhectare. Regarding carbon revenues, the wider the agroforestry land managed by farmers, the higher the carbon income received. Using the benefit transfer method over a 20-year mitigation period, an estimated 2.19 times increase in carbon revenues is obtained at an inflation rate of 4%.

A POTÊNCIA DA ÁGUA E DO FEMININO: A ATUALIZAÇÃO DO MITO DE MELUSINA POR ANDRÉ BRETON
Authors: Dantas Marta
Published: May 2024

A literatura é povoada de criaturas fabulosas, mas, na literatura francesa, Melusina tem um lugar de destaque. Personagem mitológica, de forma híbrida, ligada ao elemento água, metade mulher, metade serpente ou próxima à sereia, suas origens precedem, provavelmente, a chegada dos romanos no território francês. No século XI, tornou-se lenda fundadora de Poitou - comuna medieval francesa - e da família Lusignan. Por volta de 1400, Jean D'Arras e Couldrette transformaram a lenda oral em romance e tornaram Melusina ainda mais popular na França. Por meio de sua presença em Nadja, narrativa poética do surrealista André Breton escrita em 1927, e com o apoio dos estudos de Bachelard sobre a água, investigaremos a atualidade do mito e as questões que ele evoca: a ambivalência, a permeabilidade entre o desconhecido e o conhecido, o bem e o mal, o aquático e o terrestre, o imaginário individual e o coletivo, e como esses aspectos estão relacionados ao elemento água e a potência do feminino.

Authors: Premthaisong Sasivimol , Srisawasdi Niwat
Published: May 2024

Digital technology has been proposed as a pedagogical tool capable of transforming traditional inquiry-based learning methods into innovative inquiry-based learning environments for school science. Researchers have reported that technology-enhanced learning environments have significant potential to shape students’ conceptions of learning and their learning approaches. This study, therefore, introduces a technology-infused active inquiry learning approach aimed at transforming primary school students’ conceptions of learning science. 11 fifth-grade students from a university-based primary school in the northeastern region of Thailand were selected to participate in a two-week intervention based on this approach. The results indicate a noticeable shift in the students’ conceptions of technology-infused active inquiry learning following the intervention. However, it was observed that many students still exhibited a tendency towards passive learning due to the overall interaction with technology during science lessons. This highlights the ongoing challenge of effectively incorporating technology in the classroom to foster more advanced conceptions of learning.

Updating the mosquito fauna occurring in a specific area is crucial, given that certain species serve as vectors capable of transmitting zoonotic arboviruses. This scientific note presents the first records of mosquitoes of the tribe Orthopodomyiini in the Yucatan Peninsula. Immature mosquitoes were collected on 2 occasions inside a large tree hole in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Thirteen adult specimens, reared from the immatures, were obtained and identified as Orthopodomyia kummi based on external characteristics of females and males. This species has been recorded in Panama, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and marginally in the United States, but its presence in the Yucatan Peninsula had gone unnoticed until now. The knowledge about mosquitoes of the genus Orthopodomyia is limited, and their epidemiological importance remains uncertain. Therefore, further studies could provide insights into the ecological and infection dynamics associated with this species.

The purpose of the article is to reveal the features of the development of visual communication design in China at the end of the 20th century in the context of the policy of openness and active interaction with international professional communities. Research methodology. To achieve the goal, general scientific and special research methods were used. Complex and analytical methods were effective, which made it possible to conduct research in various aspects holistically and consistently. The main results of the study. China experienced a difficult period of political and social transformations, which significantly influenced the content and image in the design of visual communications during the 20th century. It was the changes in the political arena in the country that allowed visual communication design in the 1980s and 1990s to gain new development and establish itself as an important professional field in the last three decades. International communication, economic growth, technological development, inspired by the policy of reforms and openness, activated all modern directions of graphic design, contributed to the formation of industry associations and institutions. It was found that the openness of Chinese designers to Western practices in the context of globalization creates conditions for direct borrowing of universally accepted approaches and solutions, reducing the value of their own traditions. Therefore, the intention to fill the visual language of design with national local content becomes noticeable. Conclusions. It was revealed that the intensification of the development of visual communication design in China at the end of the 20th century, inspired by changes in the political arena in the conditions of reforms and openness, contributed to the expression of the industry at the national and international levels, strengthening its status and influence. From the early 1980s to today, the gradual standardization of graphic design at the level of academic organization, scientific discourse and other disciplines has accumulated professional reserves for a new stage and created an important platform for further development.

Published: May 2024

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge to global health, necessitating the exploration of alternative antimicrobial agents. Iron and iron oxide nanoparticles have garnered attention due to their potential antimicrobial properties. This study aims to comparatively analyse the efficacy of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles against Trichothecium roseum, a common fungal pathogen known for its detrimental effects on various crops and stored grains. The findings showed that the spore germination of the investigated fungal pathogens was significantly inhibited by the various quantities of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles at various serial dilution doses (10-3, 10-6, and 10-9). However, when the concentration of the nanoparticles rises, so does the suppression of mycelial growth. The highest concentration of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles (10-3) against Trichothecium roseum was found to inhibit mycelial growth the most, with optical densities of 0.911 and 0.544, respectively. The control group, which did not have any iron or oxide nanoparticles, displayed the highest mycelial growth, with an optical density of 1.011. Iron and iron oxide nanoparticle optical densities at 10-6 concentration were found to be 0.929 and 0.880, respectively. Conversely, concentrations of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles at 10-9 serial dilution resulted in optical densities of 0.984 and 0.954, respectively. It is discovered that iron oxide nanoparticles have a greater antifungal efficacy than iron nanoparticles against Trichothecium roseum. This comparative analysis sheds light on the promising antimicrobial properties of iron and iron oxide nanoparticles and underscores their potential applications in agriculture and food preservation industries for controlling fungal pathogens like Trichothecium roseum. Further research is warranted to optimize nanoparticle synthesis and understand their interactions with microbial cells for effective antimicrobial strategies.

Le Scienze umanistiche a Bologna tra il secondo dopoguerra e il XXI secolo
Authors: Tega Walter
Published: May 2024

Il 15 maggio del 2019, nell’ambito del ciclo di convegni che l’Accademia delle Scienze ha dedicato alla storia scientifica dell’Università di Bologna nel secondo dopoguerra, è stato organizzato un incontro che aveva l’intento di tracciare il percorso compiuto dall’area umanistica tra gli anni ’50 e la chiusura delle Facoltà voluta dalla legge Gelmini. È stato un periodo che, soprattutto a partire dagli anni ’60, ha registrato novità che hanno dato all’area umanistica dimensioni molto più ampie e connotati di grande novità. Quello che abbiamo voluto mettere in risalto non è soltanto l’itinerario delle discipline scientifiche universitarie ma anche la trasformazione e l’ampliamento del loro assetto istituzionale. Dal tronco storico della Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia sono infatti germogliati molti rami che hanno assunto progressivamente la loro autonomia; alcuni di questi rami sono rimasti legati alla Facoltà, come due Corsi di Studio molto rilevanti quali il Dams e il Corso di Comunicazione, ma anche due scuole che hanno avuto un rilievo importante come la Scuola di Giornalismo e la Scuola Superiore di Scienze Umanistiche. Altri di questi rami hanno assunto anche una autonomia istituzionale divenendo Facoltà, come Scienze della Formazione e Beni Culturali, delle quali nel convegno si è ampiamente trattato.

The growth and sharpening of social inequality at both a global and national level is a key theme of the current public and academic debate. This rise in inequality, one of the most significant social facts of the contemporary world, extends beyond the neoliberal era as its permanent legacy: it is also found in the chaotic transition to a historical phase marked first by a return to protectionism and then by the eruption of conflicts in various parts of the world.
Du système des inégalités aux classes sociales
Authors: Alain Bihr , Pfefferkorn Roland
Published: May 2024

On the basis of data provided by the public statistics apparatus, a methodical analysis of the inequalities existing between social categories is able to support the thesis of the persistence of the division of French society into social classes. In recent decades neoliberal policies have accentuated these inequalities. In addition, French society, like all others, is crossed by other cleavages. We will return briefly to these elements in the first section (1). We will then recall the theoretical stakes raised by the concept of social classes, in other words the problematic to which this concept intends to respond and the terms in which it meets it (2). Finally, we will draw from this analysis of inequalities some general conclusions: first those concerning their systemic nature; second, the fact that they always result from a conflictuality involving policies, private and public; finally, the fact that these inequalities are confronting collective subjects (3).
Contemporary Slavery and Inequality in Brazil
Pureza’s Complaint and Struggle
Authors: Soares Marcela

This article briefly presents the feature film Pureza, which is based on a true story, to help analyse the contemporary forms of slavery in Brazil that reveal the permanent movements of capital expropriation, noticeable in the exploitation and oppression of a race-based labour force characterized by patriarchy, that migrates in order to survive. In this sense, we examine regional inequalities, social polarization and the particular aspects of the Brazilian social formation for the discussion of contemporary slavery, which is seen as the most visible expression of superexploitation, as well as the result of the reinvention of hybrid forms of exploitation of the labour force.

La intensa actividad nivológica en la media y alta montaña de la Cordillera Cantábrica produce la acumulación de importantes espesores de nieve que pueden desencadenar aludes, poniendo en riesgo las vidas humanas y las infraestructuras. Es por ello por lo que en este trabajo se realiza un análisis general a través de SIG de los condicionantes responsables del desencadenamiento de aludes sobre el valle de Somiedo, en el suroccidente del Principado de Asturias. A este análisis se añade la información proporcionada por el trabajo de campo, la fotointerpretación, las entrevistas y las fuentes históricas, con el fin de conocer el resultado de la actividad de las avalanchas de nieve, especialmente de las que afectan a la carretera del Puerto de Somiedo (AS-227), en concreto en el tramo comprendido entre los pueblos de Caunedo y Santa María del Puerto. Se aporta, además, cartografía del entorno del valle, destacando por su interés el mapa de vegetación y los mapas de susceptibilidad y de vulnerabilidad de aludes sobre la carretera, exponiendo propuestas de intervención a fin de mitigar el riesgo. Además, se desarrollan materiales de realidad aumentada para divulgar los resultados de este estudio y conocer la dinámica de este fenómeno nivológico.
Interstitial ectopic pregnancy (Clinical case)
Authors: Kostenko O.Yu. , Proshchenko O.M. , Slobodianyk O.Ya.
Published: May 2024

Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of I trimester maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ectopic pregnancy is diagnosed in 1.5–2% of the general population and in 1.4–5.4% of patients after assisted reproductive technologies. In up to 98% of cases, an ectopic pregnancy develops in the fallopian tubes. Signs and symptoms of a ruptured fallopian tube in an ectopic pregnancy can occur between the 6th and 8th weeks of gestation.Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a type of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy, when the attachment of a fertilized egg occurs at the junction of the interstitial part of the fallopian tube with the uterine myometrium. Localization of ectopic pregnancy not in the fallopian tube is detected infrequently – in 7-10% of all ectopic pregnancies, but this type of pregnancy is associated with a greater number of complications due to late manifestation and diagnostic difficulties.The interstitial part of the fallopian tube is approximately 1–2 cm long and 0.7 mm wide. The gestational sac, implanted in the interstitial part of the fallopian tube, is surrounded by a layer of myometrium, that is, the middle layer of the uterine wall, consisting mainly of smooth muscle cells, as well as supporting interstitial and vascular tissue. The surrounding tissue of the myometrium allows pregnancy to progress up to 12 weeks, and in the presence of its changes at this time, the uterus actually ruptures, which leads to significant bleeding or even death.The article describes a clinical case of an ectopic pregnancy in a 30-year-old woman who was hospitalized at the Perinatal Center of Kyiv after a routine examination for in vitro fertilization. The patient did not have any complaints. During a transvaginal ultrasound examination a progressive interstitial ectopic pregnancy was diagnosed, and the level of β-human chorionic gonadotropin in the blood serum corresponded to 5–6 weeks of gestation. The patient was hospitalized for surgical intervention, as a result of which the ectopic interstitial pregnancy was interrupted by excision of the uterine angle without penetration into its cavity, which was accompanied by minimal blood loss.

The purpose of the study is to supplement the known scientific data on the publication activities of S. P. Diaghilev by putting into scientific circulation information about the printed publications of 1897-1901, which are kept in the Research Library of the Russian Museum. One cannot deny the possible influence of these projects on the main result of Diaghilev’s early (Russian) period of publication activity – the publication of the “Yearbook of the Imperial Theaters”: season 1899-1900 and three Supplements to it in 1900. This text reveals the position of the leader of the theatrical and exhibition process in Russia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, S. P. Diaghilev, regarding the role of Russian art, his understanding of the importance of the major transformations taking place in art during his time. The authors of the article provide descriptions of creative initiatives in the great impresario’s publishing projects aimed at evaluating art criticism and bibliography. The reader is given links to S. P. Diaghilev’s well-known and little-studied or first-time presented publications, considered in terms of their book design, and works about him. Scientific novelty: a new perspective on the task set makes it possible to assess S. P. Diaghilev’s contribution to Russian art, art criticism, publishing, and book design. As a result of the analysis of the presented facts, little-studied aspects of S. P. Diaghilev’s publishing activities were revealed, and the artistic background that favorably influenced the achievement of the goal of book publishing was shown, which represents a new direction in Russian art criticism: an interdisciplinary study combining the categories of bibliography, bibliology, publishing, graphics, the history of illustrated book design, theater studies, and other related types of culture.
