RESUMO - As estimativas dos estoques de biomassa vegetal em pastagens utilizando técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, apesar de serem amplamente utilizadas ultimamente, ainda são incertas devido ao padrão tridimensional e desigual de crescimento da vegetação. Foi definida uma metodologia para estimar os estoques de biomassa no semiárido de Pernambuco, Brasil, utilizando uma câmera RGB de alta definição acoplada a um drone. Os sobrevoos foram realizados em áreas de floresta tropical seca densa e aberta e pastagens, nas estações seca e chuvosa. A biomassa medida em campo foi relacionada a nove índices de vegetação do espectro visível por meio de regressão linear múltipla. Os coeficientes de determinação variaram entre 0,73 e 0,82. Os modelos mostraram-se uma forma viável de estimar a biomassa, considerando a amplitude espacial e temporal do estudo, as características da vegetação e os tipos de cobertura do solo avaliados. Sensores RGB são promissores para estimar biomassa em regiões semiáridas, especialmente integrados a índices de vegetação.

ABSTRACT - Remote sensing techniques are currently widely used in environmental analysis due to the ability to collect accurate data in a cheaper and easier way than conventional techniques. However, estimates of vegetation biomass stocks in rangelands using remote sensing techniques are still uncertain due to the tridimensional and uneven growth pattern of the vegetation. A methodology was defined to estimate biomass stocks in different land cover types in the semi-arid region of Pernambuco state, Brazil, using a high definition RGB camera coupled to a drone. Flyovers 30 m above ground level were performed in three field experiments, in areas of dense and open tropical dry forest and pastures, during the dry and rainy seasons. Biomass measured in field was related to nine visible spectrum vegetation indices as independent variables, using multiple linear regression. The determination coefficients ranged between 0.73 and 0.82. The models proved to be a feasible way to estimate the biomass, considering the spatial and temporal amplitude of the study, the vegetation characteristics and the types of soil cover evaluated, which could be improved with the addition of more sampling points. We conclude that RGB sensors are promising to estimate biomass in semiarid regions, especially integrated with vegetation indices.

Comparative Assessment of Air Quality Status at Abura Market, Kotokuraba Market and University of Cape Coast Science Market
Authors: Hagan Frederick
Published: January 2025

Air pollution is one of the major environmental problems, which in urban areas reaches an exceptional degree due to high population density and economic activities. Therefore, this study provides a comparative assessment of air quality at three main markets: Abura Market, Kotokuraba Market, and UCC Science Market. in Cape Coast metropolis using air quality detector D9. The main aim is to measure and contrast levels of main air pollutants, such as PM2.5, PM10, CO2, HCHO, and TVOC, between these markets other specific objectives are;To measure the concentration level of CO2, VOCS, PM2.5, CO2, PM10 HCHO using air quality detector D9 between 6am and 8am in the morning and 4pm and 6pm in the evenimg. To compare the air quality data obtained from the three markets to determine which area has the highest and lowest levels of pollution in Cape Coast metropolis. Air quality detector D9 collects data on PM2.5, PM10, CO2 and HCHO were recorded at 2 minutes intervals over a span of 2 hours in both the morning and evening for a period of two weeks in each market. This data collection was conducted at various points within each market. SPSS and excel was used to analyze the data. The results indicate a wide variability in air quality between the three markets. The highest level of PM2.5 (51.8 µg/m³) and PM10 (69.2 µg/m³), which is above the WHO guidelines, occurred at Abura Market, especially in the evening. UCC Science Market showed a high reading of PM in the morning where PM2.5 was 38.8 µg/m3 and PM10 of 45.3 µg/m3 slightly above the WHO guidelines. CO2 levels in all the markets were above the safety limits, indicating possible ventilation problems.TVOC and HCHO apper to be negligible or close to zero in all the three markets in bboth morning and eveving. These results call for the implementation of focused interventions to ameliorate air quality in these markets. Other recommended measures to be taken include constant air quality monitoring, education of the public on pollution prevention, and increased control over vehicle and industrial emissions within the vicinity of markets. Implementation of such is very necessary to minimize health risks related to poor air quality in Cape Coast’s markets.

Published: January 2025

The role of MSMEs in supporting the people’s economy in Indonesia. Study adopted a systematic literature review with data obtained from journals and research articles from 2015-2024. The data source platform used in this study is from Scopus. Evidence from empirical works reviewed showed that that micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) play a very important role in supporting the people’s economy in Indonesia, with a contribution of around 60.5% to the gross domestic product (GDP) and absorbing almost 97% of the total national workforce. As the main driver of the local economy, MSMEs not only create jobs but also function as a social safety net that helps improve people’s welfare, especially in rural areas. In addition, MSMEs contribute to increasing the country’s foreign exchange through the export of quality local products. To achieve equitable and sustainable prosperity, people’s economic policies should aim to empower society through fair access to resources, strengthen small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and encourage active participation of the people in economic decision making.

This study examines the physico-chemical properties of the Chankanai deposit zeolite and its potential as an additive in the production of modified concrete. The focus is on the investigation of the structural characteristics of zeolite, its chemical composition, and its modifying ability. Zeolites are aluminosilicate minerals with high adsorption capacity, and their use in building materials has the potential to enhance the strength, durability, and environmental friendliness of final products. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods were applied to analyze the structure and morphology of zeolites. The XRD methods allowed for the determination of the crystal structure and phase composition of zeolite samples, revealing the presence of dominant mineral phases and their spatial arrangement. Using SEM, the microstructure and morphological features of zeolite particles were investigated, enabling an assessment of their porosity and distribution within the material. As a result of the experiments, it has been found that zeolites exhibit a high sorption capacity, well-developed porous structure, thermal stability, and resistance to chemical substances, making them promising raw materials for manufacturing cement composites, concrete, and other building materials. Additionally, the potential of enhancing the performance of these materials through the use of zeolites as well as the environmental and economic benefits associated with them have been discussed.
Tainted Tap
Authors: Davis Katrinell M.
Published: January 2025

After a cascade of failures left residents of Flint, Michigan, without a reliable and affordable supply of safe drinking water, citizens spent years demanding action from their city and state officials. Complaints from the city’s predominantly African American residents were ignored until independent researchers confirmed dangerously elevated blood lead levels among Flint children and in the city’s tap water. Despite a 2017 federal court ruling in favor of Flint residents who had demanded mitigation, those efforts have been incomplete at best. Assessing the challenges that community groups faced in their attempts to advocate for improved living conditions, Tainted Tap offers a rich analysis of conditions and constraints that created the Flint water crisis. Katrinell Davis contextualizes the crisis in Flint’s long and troubled history of delivering essential services, the consequences of regional water-management politics, and other forms of systemic neglect that impacted the working-class community’s health and well-being. Using ethnographic and empirical evidence from a range of sources, Davis also sheds light on the forms of community action that have brought needed changes to this underserved community.

We Had an Instinctive Love for the Negro Race
Authors: Greene Christina
Published: January 2025

This chapter explores the judicial record and political leanings of Judge Robert Martin, who oversaw Joan Little’s felony-theft trial and the famed Wilmington 10 case, to explain Little’s exceedingly harsh, racially charged sentence in her felony theft trial. It interrogates Little’s “criminality” and challenges depictions of her as simply a common street criminal by offering a more nuanced analysis than the triumphalist narrative of her victory in the rape-murder trial. Little’s legal entanglements as a teenager - which were typical for Black youth in the criminal punishment system - are assessed within the rise of law-and-order politics of the 1960s and 1970s promoted by both state and national Democrats and Republicans; President Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 and 1968 crime bills; President Richard Nixon’s wars on crime and drugs; the creation of the federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) that distributed over $10 billion to local law enforcement before it was disbanded in 1981; and the legacy of Southern racially charged penal practices. The chapter argues that Little’s criminality can be better understood within this broader analysis of the systemic impediments of power, control and exclusion that shaped individual choices and behavior.
Relinquished Manhood
Authors: Johnson Janiece
Published: January 2025

Relinquishing manhood was another Mormon sin exemplified by the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Slippery standards of manhood made it nearly unachievable for most minorities. Mormons were either not manly enough or hypermanly—always dishonorable. Stories of the massacre often rotated around gender ideals often employing hyperbole in in sensational tales of gendered violence and polygamy. The rule of Law gave Latter-day Saints an opportunity for gendered redemption—they could be men and rejoin American civilization.
The Cutting-Off Way of War
Authors: Lee Wayne E.
Published: January 2025

This chapter defines and provides examples for the basic operational technique of expeditionary Indian warfare. This includes the march to enemy country, the tactical methods of attack (and the limits thereon), and the necessity for rapid retreat. Indian war parties on offensive expeditions, whether to exact revenge, gain prestige, acquire prisoners, assert sovereignty, or perhaps administer a political lesson, sought to “cut off” enemy villages or individuals through surprise and ambush—an event which could be highly lethal, especially per capita. Repeated success could render an area uninhabitable, functionally cutting it off from its cluster of related villages. Cutting off is a description of warfare at the operational level—not the tactical. It is about selecting targets, moving forces toward the enemy sometimes over great distances (often along separate paths), and then bringing to bear superior numbers—hopefully by surprise—against the enemy. Whether what followed was an ambush, a battle, an assault on the walls, or a siege was a matter of tactics. This system was originally arrived at as Native Americans warred against each other. It was then adapted for use against Europeans, but it formed the dominant paradigm for Native thinking about offensive warfare throughout this period.
Resistance from the Right
Authors: Shepherd Lauren Lassabe
Published: January 2025

Pivoting from studies that emphasize the dominance of progressivism on American college campuses during the late sixties and early seventies, Lauren Lassabe Shepherd positions conservative critiques of, and agendas in, American colleges and universities as an essential dimension of a broader conversation of conservative backlash against liberal education. This book explores the story of how stakeholders in American higher education organized and reacted to challenges to their power from the New Left and Black Power student resistance movements of the late 1960s. By examining the range of conservative student organizations and coalition building, Shepherd shows how wealthy donors and conservative intellectuals trained future GOP leaders such as Karl Rove, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions, Pat Buchanan, and others in conservative politics, providing them with tactics to consciously drive American politics and culture further to the authoritarian right and to "reclaim" American higher education.
No Amnesty
Authors: Shepherd Lauren Lassabe
Published: January 2025

This chapter details conservative mobilization against antiwar and civil rights demonstrators at Columbia University in the spring of 1968 and the anti-leftist majority coalition model that emerged in its aftermath. Under the model, the leading conservative group, Young Americans for Freedom (YAF), abandoned its mission of anticommunism to reorganize around the singular idea of stopping the New Left. Majority coalitions attracted athletes, football players, and other counter protestors to resist campus antiwar and civil rights demonstrators. This model was revolutionary for the campus Right and became a fundamental part of conservative mobilization thereafter.

This chapter recounts the censure and expulsion of libertarians from Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) for their finding common ground with the New Left, including with groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), on issues of conscription, civil rights, police brutality, and marijuana. Libertarian and anarcho-capitalist students, under the direction of Murray Rothbard and Karl Hess, defected from YAF and went on to found the Libertarian Party shortly after. The chapter further discusses conservative fundraising and the recruitment of football players and other college athletes into campus conservative clubs as a replacement for libertarian exiles and defectors.
The Worst Type of People

This chapter analyzes conservative student support for the invasion of Cambodia and conservative defenses of the massacre of Kent State University and Jackson State University students by the national guard and municipal police, as well as their support for the mass arrests at Mississippi Valley State College (now University) by campus police in 1970. It also examines college lawsuits that were designed to force campuses to remain open during college protests, demonstrating the movement’s willingness to use the courts to bend administrators to their political will. It features several New Right leaders during their tenure as college students battling against the peace movement’s anti-war protests, including Newt Gingrich, Tom Charles Houstin, Pat Buchanan, David Keene, Randal Teague, James Lacy, and others.

TRANSRADIAL VERSUS TRANSFEMORAL ARTERIAL APPROACH: A STUDY ONEFFICIENCY AND PATIENT COMFORT
Authors: Jahić Alan , Hajdarević Alen , Šehić Nail
Published: January 2025

The aim of this research isto perform a comprehensive comparative analysis of transradial (TR) and transfemoral(TF) arterial approaches in conducting diagnostic coronary angiographies. The research involved a total of 240 participants, categorized into two cohorts. Group one included 121 participants who received coronary angiography via TR arterial approach, while group two comprised 119 participants who were administered the procedure via TF arterial approach. The MannWhitney U test was employed to assess the research objectives. Additionally, Spearman's correlation coefficient was utilized to evaluate the relationships between the variables observed in the research. This research confirms that TR approach results in longer procedures compared to TF approach. Despite the longer duration and higher radiation exposure with TR approach, there was no significant difference in the amount of contrast agent used between TR and TF approaches. There was no significant difference in hospitalization duration between patients undergoing TR and TF approaches. Patient comfort during and after the procedure was significantly better with TR approach. The average cost of materials used was higher for patients undergoing TR approach compared to TF approach, making TR approach about 15% more expensive on average. The results of this research indicate that both methods demonstrate no notable difference in the volume of contrast agent administered orin the occurrence rate of complications. However, TF arterial approach leads to reduced procedure times and lower radiation exposure, whereas TR arterial approach enhances patient comfort.

THE ROLE OF SCHOOLS IN EDUCATING CHILDREN FOR LEISURE TIME AND IN LEISURE TIME
Authors: Jašarević Daria , Avdić Benjamin , Kuduzović Edina , Kobelja Lidija , Andrejaš Matea
Published: January 2025

Leisure time in contemporary society is increasingly becoming a crucial factor in shaping the personalities of children and youth. Alongside family, schools play a central role in organizing and shaping students' leisure time. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of schools in the pedagogical structuring of students’ leisure time and to explore differences in the perception of leisure time between students in urban and rural schools. The research was conducted on a sample of 140 seventh-grade students from elementary schools in the Tuzla Canton. The study analyzed students' ways of spending leisure time, the involvement and support of schools in organizing leisure time, and the perception of societal support for students' leisure activities. The results of the research indicate that students most frequently spend their leisure time in activities without significant pedagogical influence. Most students occasionally participate in school clubs, with significant differences observed between urban and rural schools in the type and number of activities available. Teachers and parents are the primary sources of support in organizing leisure time, while the broader community offers limited support. The findings suggest that schools play an important role in the organization of leisure time but that there are significant disparities in the activities available to students in different environments. Although activities such as sports and cultural clubs remain popular, students are increasingly gravitating towarddigital content, which may reduce the pedagogical value of leisure time. Schools should continue to develop and adapt leisure activities to meet students’ needs, with greater involvement from the broader community and support in fostering healthy and constructive patterns of leisure time usage.

Rare case of human Streptococcus suis purpura fulminans at Prof. Ngoerah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali
Authors: Nara Dhany Henri , Tarini Ni Made Adi , Putrawan Ida Bagus Putu , Pinatih Komang Januartha Putra
Published: January 2025

Background: Streptococcus suis (S. suis) is a zoonotic bacterium capable of causing severe infections in humans, particularly those with occupational exposure to pigs or pork products. Notable manifestations include meningitis, endocarditis, sepsis, and distinct skin conditions such as purpura and necrotic lesions. Southeast Asia reports the highest incidence, correlating with prevalent pig farming practices. Though infrequent, S. suis infections can lead to severe outcomes if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
Case Presentation: We present a case involving a 73-year-old Balinese man without recent exposure to pigs or pork but with a history of pork consumption six months prior. He was admitted with symptoms including skin discoloration, respiratory distress, and loss of consciousness. Physical and laboratory examinations revealed pleural effusion, pneumonia, and high procalcitonin levels. Blood cultures identified S. suis, confirmed by VITEK® 2 system with susceptibility to multiple antibiotics, except tetracycline. Despite initial treatment with ceftriaxone, azithromycin, and levofloxacin; the patient’s condition deteriorated, resulting in a fatal outcome.
Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and rapid antibiotic intervention in S. suis infection. Delay in hospitalization significantly impacts prognosis, and timely, targeted treatment could improve survival rates. Enhanced awareness and preventive strategies in high-risk areas are vital to reducing the incidence and mortality associated with this infection.
Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis coinfection in a 20-year-old man with recurrent urethritis: a case report

Published: January 2025

Introduction: Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis are the two pathogens most commonly reported to cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs) worldwide. Coinfection between these two pathogens has been widely reported, but the incidence is still rarely reported due to challenges in diagnosis to prove the involvement of the two pathogens simultaneously. The molecular diagnostic approach is an effective option for this case and optimizing this method will able to help clinicians deciding management for the patients and prevent the spreading of the disease. This study aimed to present a case of N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis coinfection in a 20-year-old man with recurrent urethritis.
Case Description: A 20-year-old man presented to the Dermatology and Venereology clinic at Dr. RSUP. Sardjito with purulent discharge from the penis started a week prior. From the anamnesis and physical examination, the doctors suspected this patient with N. gonorrhoeae infection. N. gonorrhoeae was detected by microscopic examination, culture, and Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) examination, while C. trachomatis was also detected in RT-PCR. The patient was treated with azithromycin 1-gram single dose and cefixime 400 mg single dose.
Discussion: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the incidence of STIs is always increasing. Most STIs are usually asymptomatic, but it can be presented as urethritis in male patients. For females, it can be given as leucorrhoea, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), or other pregnancy complications. N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis are the two main pathogens always reported annually and often found as coinfection. Due to the virulence factors of these bacteria, N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis are very hard to diagnose with conventional culture methods, and the molecular approach is now an effective option to detect them and help prevent recurrence.
Conclusion: Coinfection of N. gonorrhoeae and C. trachomatis is a case that is quite often encountered in clinical practice, but the incidence is rarely reported due to supporting examination methods to help confirm the presence of these two microorganisms are still limited. In cases of suspected infection by N. gonorrhoeae, C. trachomatis, or both simultaneously, the most recommended microbiological examination is to use molecular diagnostics such as PCR.

This article looks to investigate whether it is possible to create a strategy on which the investor selects individual stocks that can outperform the average returns of the Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) stock index. 311 non-financial companies listed on the Amsterdam, Brussels, Lisbon, and Paris stock exchanges were analyzed in the period between 2017 and 2022. For the analysis, we used the panel data methodology and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The data imply that it is possible to achieve returns that surpass the S&P 500 by analyzing the growth, financial strength, and profitability of Euronext companies. It has been demonstrated that larger, less indebted, and more profitable companies tend to generate returns that are higher than those presented by the S&P 500. Both managers, who must prioritize sustainable growth and operational efficiency, and investors, who can apply the indicators presented in this study as stock selection criteria, can find important implications in these conclusions.
