Kekerasan terhadap LGBT:
Authors: Ni'mah Ulviyatun , Zakiyyah Nurul Ulya Fahmi
Published: June 2024

Gencarnya agenda untuk mengakui dan menghilangkan diskriminasi LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual, Transgender/Transeksual) di Indonesia berhadapan langsung dengan gerakan penolakan LGBT yang tak kalah kencang. Namun sayangnya, dalam banyak kasus, penolakan tersebut disertai dengan kekerasan. Dalam kacamata Islam, hal ini  tampak tidak manusiawi, mengingat al-Qurâ€™anâ€”yang menjadi pedoman umat Islamâ€”sejak awal telah mengajarkan nila-nilai kemanusiaan, memuliakan martabat manusia, dan menjunjung tinggi keutamaannya. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis ingin memotret kasus penganiayaan terhadap LGBT menggunakan analisis tafsir humanis. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode kajian pustaka, yaitu dengan mengumpulkan literatur yang tersedia dan mengkaji teori-teori yang relevan dengan masalah yang diteliti. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa dari perspektif tafsir, para pelaku LGBT tetap wajib diberi hukuman, hal ini sebagaimana yang telah diijtihadkan oleh para fuqaha>, di mana perilaku LGBT disebutkan oleh Allah dalam al-Qurâ€™an sebagai perbuatan fah}sha>. Akan tetapi, kekerasan terhadap LGBT dalam sudut pandang tafsir humanis tidak sejalan dengan firman Allah Swt dalam al-Qurâ€™an. Allah Swt memuliakan manusia dan menciptakan manusia dengan sebaik-baik bentuk. Kekerasan yang dilakukan manusia terhadap manusia lainnya dapat berdampak membuat manusia yang menjadi objek kekerasan tersebut menjadi hina.

Authors: Silva Tobar Santiago David , Camacho Pedroza Santiago Martín
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Pruritus associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects quality of life adherence to treatment and increases mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without extracorporeal renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis). Its prevalence and intensity of symptoms are higher in peritoneal dialysis (PD) than in hemodialysis (HD). The diagnosis is made using scores that avoid subdiagnosis. Itstreatment is related to the intensity of the symptoms, from mild to moderate, topical treatment, and, in severesymptoms, systemic. It usually presents as large, symmetrical, reddened areas of skin, often at night.
Objective of the review: The aim is to review the main pathophysiological aspects and establish an algorithmfor diagnosing and treating pruritus in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without requiring renalreplacement therapy (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis).
Essential points of the review: There are several diagnostic scores, such as the visual analog scale, thatmeasures the intensity of itching, the Pauli-Magnus scale that relates to the quality of sleep, and the 5-D itchingscale that evaluates the quality of life; however, the KDQoL-36, WINRS, and SADS are more practical at the time of assessment. The most recent treatment is Nalfurafine, a k-opioid receptor agonist, which has reduced the severity of symptoms by 95%.
Conclusion: The objective of the review is to review the main pathophysiological aspects and establish an algorithm for diagnosing and treating pruritus in patients with chronic kidney disease with and without requiring renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis).

Authors: Putra Guruh Sukarno
Published: June 2024

Studi literatur ini bertujuan untuk memecah ambiguitas batas pemisah antara pembelajaran berdiferensiasi dan instruksi berdiferensiasi. Ambiguitas pada dua konsep ini terletak pada konektivitas instruksi berdiferensiasi pada aspek-aspek pembelajaran berdiferensiasi. Instruksi berdiferensiasi sering disalahartikan sebagai pembelajaran berdiferensiasi dan sebaliknya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh paradigma tentang konsep instruksi berdiferensiasi yang secara tersirat memiliki kemiripan dengan pembelajaran berdiferensiasi tanpa melihat keterikatan dan hubungan antar keduanya. Hasil studi literatur ini mengungkapkan bahwa pembelajaran berdiferensiasi berada pada daerah terluar yang di dalamnya mencakup peserta didik dan pendidik sebagai aktor utama. Pendidik dan peserta didik yang terlibat dalam pembelajaran berdiferensiasi sangat bergantung pada keterlaksanaan lima aspek pembelajaran berdiferensiasi, dimana instruksi berdiferensiasi berada dalam cakupan aspek-aspek yang saling terkoneksi yang menciptakan hubungan dua arah. Secara garis besar, instruksi berdiferensiasi merupakan bagian konteks spesifik dari pembelajaran berdiferensiasi.

DOES GEN Z CONSUMERS REWARD TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT IN THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY: A PLS-SEM ANALYSIS OF BRAND PATRONAGE IN AFRICA?
Authors: ABDULSALAM Tajudeen Alaburo , TAJUDEEN Rofiat Bolanle , IDOWU Ismail Abiodun
Published: June 2024

The cosmetics industry's remarkable growth, driven by consumers' increasing focus on self-care and wellness, reflects a compound annual growth rate of 8.84%, with revenues reaching $129 billion in 2023, of which the skin care brand accounts for 41% of the global cosmetic market as of 2023. However, this growth occurs against the backdrop of the fourth industrial revolution, characterised by transformative technological advancements, including digital transformations that have introduced complex challenges like brand imitation and trademark infringement onsite. The research investigates how skincare brands leverage trademark infringement to attract Gen Z consumers in Africa, employing a post-positivist paradigm that accommodates quantitative methods of reasoning. Online surveys were conducted among 352 tech-savvy Gen Z respondents (representing an 88% sample rate and certified by an over 0.75 Cronbach alpha value) using Google-Form online questionnaires, revealing that trademark infringement significantly impacts Gen Z's patronage, explaining 54.9% of the variance in customer behaviour. Specifically, the research concludes that colour and name, product design, and sign and symbol elements of trademark infringement influence customer patronage by 5.6%, 11.7%, and 6.8%, respectively. Recommendations from the research highlight the importance of ethical marketing practices, distinctive product design, and enhanced symbol recognition for cosmetic brands. Additionally, the study acknowledges potential biases in data collection due to uneven online access among different segments of Gen Z in Africa. The focus on Gen Z consumers in Nigeria and South Africa might not fully represent the broader diversity of Gen Z consumer behaviour across Africa, considering varying cultural, economic, and social dynamics that influence cosmetic preferences and purchasing behaviours on the continent.

O papel basilar da Criptografia na segurança de dados
Authors: Dahab Ricardo
Published: June 2024

Este texto traz ao leitor a dimensão da influência da Criptografia como ferramenta fundamental no provimento de requisitos de segurança de dados. Por meio da descrição em linguagem coloquial das técnicas criptográficas e suas aplicações, tradicionais e recentes, procuramos motivar a necessidade da formação de estudantes e profissionais na área, de forma a satisfazer a enorme carência de capacitação que se observa no mercado e, ainda que em menor grau, na academia. A Criptografia é uma ciência sofisticada com alto teor matemático de aplicabilidade cotidiana quase imediata. Novas técnicas fluem da especificação à prática em pouquíssimo tempo, limitando o tempo disponível para capacitar o pessoal encarregado de sua utilização. As consequências desse descompasso podem ser graves, indo do vazamento de dados confidenciais até possíveis fraudes milionárias, quase sempre sem divulgação. Coerente com esses objetivos, concluímos o texto com considerações sobre a prática e o ensino da Criptografia.

SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND APPROACHES: AN OVERVIEW
Authors: Bhattacharya Ishani , Sahiba Ms. , Suhag Meenakshi
Published: June 2024

The leftovers from the cultivation and processing of raw agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, dairy products, and crops, are referred to as agricultural wastes. These are the byproducts of agricultural production and processing that are not products and may include materials useful to humanity, but whose economic worth is less than the expenses of gathering, transporting, and preparing them for use. They might be liquids, slurries or solids and their composition will vary depending on the system and kind of agricultural activity. Animal waste (manure, animal carcasses), food processing waste, crop waste (corn stalks, sugarcane bagasse, drops and culls from fruits and vegetables, prunings) and hazardous and toxic agricultural waste (pesticides, insecticides, and herbicides, etc.) are all considered to be part of agricultural waste, also known as agro-waste. Although estimates of the amount of agricultural waste generated are few, it is widely believed that they account for a sizable fraction of the trash produced in the developed world. Increases in livestock manure, crop wastes, and agro-industrial byproducts are inevitable outcomes of growing agricultural production. Global agricultural waste output is projected to rise significantly if developing nations keep up their intensification of farming practices. However, unplanned disposal of agro-industrial waste can cause extensive contamination of the land, water, and air. In order to reduce GHG emissions and the effects of climate change, it is important to use and manage these wastes in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.
PRINCIPLES OF FOOD GRAIN STORAGE
Authors: Kaushal Pragati
Published: June 2024

Food grain production has been steadily increasing due to advancement in production technology but improper storage results in high losses in grains. The extent of losses occurring after harvest and particularly during storage has been the subject of considerable speculation because of the difficulties of reaching accurate assessments of the amount being lost. Inadequate storage and conditioning facilities or their complete absence contribute to substantial losses every year. The management objective during the storage period is to reduce the metabolic activity to such a low level that the grain mass is sufficiently stable with minimum deterioration. The main aim of grain storage is to prevent the spoilage of grain. In this chapter, we shall discuss various principles that are widely employed for food grains.

OPPORTUNITY OF APPLICATION OF DRONE TECHNOLOGY IN AGRICULTURE-WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO PESTICIDE SPRAYING
Authors: Abhinandan Sengupta Dr.
Published: June 2024

Agriculture as a traditional livelihood, has passed through the cross road of tradition and modern scientific technology during industrial revolution. New regime of non agricultural workforce evolved. Therefore farmers had to took responsibility to feed huge non agricultural workers as well as to cater different raw materials for industrial production. Newly emerged nation had to adopt policy of input intensive production system. These critical inputs were high yielding variety seeds, fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation water. This newly adopted policy is called as green revolution. Though green revolution had broken impasse of poor productivity, but this achievement was not maintained for long run. Factor productivity of different inputs gradually declined due to law of diminishing marginal return. Therefore new innovative intervention is warranted and to be sought to overcome this impasse of nation’s agricultural growth. In 2015 the terms ‘’ Fourth Industrial Revolution ‘’ or ‘’ Agriculture 4.0 `’ were proposed. It is a paradigm shift from chemical led technology to Information Technology led agriculture. This technology is location specific, wastage minimizing, cost reducing and less prone to environmental degradation and known as precision technology. Drone is an unmanned air vehicle and resemble to aero plane/helicopter. Therefore remote operator is safe from any shorts of pesticide contamination and snake bite. Though it was evolved for military purpose , now it can be used for civil purpose and agriculture. This study aims at different aspects of use of drone in agricultural activities. Drone is now a days used as plant protection equipment to spray pesticides in a consolidated fields in different states of India. On the basis of analysis of several empirical studies, different pross and cons of spraying pesticides by drones are enumerated with respect to traditional knapsack sprayer. Standard operating protocols of use of drone are critically studied here.
BIOLOGICAL MANAGEMENT OF MAJOR VEGETABLE INSECT PESTS WITH MICROORGANISMS FOR FOOD SAFETY AND SECURITY
Authors: Samiul Islam Shaikh Mr. , Sanjib Ghosh Mr. , Sunil Kumar Ghosh Mr. , Gauranga Sundar Mandal Mr.
Published: June 2024

The most devastating obstacles to global agriculture are insect pests. Under the effect of shifting climatic circumstances, the extent of damage rises continuously. Due to insect pest outbreaks in crops, which are the main source of international trade, the developing countries suffer more. Vegetables that are consumed domestically and exported to other nations are largely produced in India. But because they are the root of many epidemics, insect pests create a significant threat to production and productivity. In order to rapidly eliminate these insect pests, chemical pesticides are being applied. However, overuse of these chemical pesticides frequently resulted in environmental degradation, population growth, pesticide residual issues in the soil and water, and bug resistance to these chemicals. Target specificity, self-perpetuation, and environmental safety make biological control highly regarded. Various microscopic parasitic organisms that infect insects are mostly used in biological pest management. These include bacteria like Bacillus thuringiensis and B. papillae, viruses like Nuclear polyhedrosis virus and Granulosis virus, fungus like Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium (=Verticillium) lecanii and Nomuraearileyi, or worms like Steinernema. This chapter describes the importance of these organisms in the management of the insect pests of the tomato, brinjal, okra, and cole crops.

Authors: Sunil Kr. Ghosh Dr.
Published: June 2024

Brinjal (Solanum melongena Lin.) is a seasonal vegetable crop and grows well in arid and semi-arid climatic condition. This crop is cultivated 2-3 times in a year. The fruit is the edible part and contains higher nutrition value and may compare with fruits of tomato. Different (mite, nematode etc) pests are responsible to limit in the successful production of its fruits. Large number of pests attack to eggplant/brinjal crop and reduce its yield which is a great problem to the farmers. Eggplant stem borer Euzophera perticella is an oligophagous insect observed many areas in Asia including India. It attacks mainly on brinjal and often on some other solanaceae vegetables, viz. potato, tomato, and chilli. Stem borer is sometimes reported as a severe pest in India. Tiruchirapalli district of Tamil Nadu and some areas of West Bengal it is treated as an important pest. The caterpillars mainly cause harm as an internal stem feeder. Top shoots of young aged plants drop and dry. Old plant becomes stunted. Fruit bearing is affected. The insect causes damage from March to October when the temperature is high enough. Different types of procedures are effective for management of the pest. The pest may be controlled through IPM which contains cultural, mechanical, physical, behavioural, microbial, biological, genetical method etc. Finally, small amount of pesticides should be used f its damage is very high.

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are three major classes of food. To remain healthy, we must take in relatively large amounts of these substances. They are not, however, the nutrients we require, some of our needs are satisfied only by vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B1 may occur in the nature as free compound as in the form of its salts, Vitamin B1 – protein complex, pyrophosphate (co-carboxylase) and as vitamin B¬1 – Phosphorus – protein complex. The relative amount of each form depends upon the source. Actually the word vitamin B6 refers to a group of three compounds, namely, pyridoxine (or) adermin, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine which are interconvertible in the form of their phosphates but as pyridoxine is the first member of this group it is alone also known as vitamin B6 as the vitamin is antidermatitic factor for rats, it is also known as adermin. Biotin is a heterocyclic sulfur containing monocarboxylic acid, the structure is formed by fusion of imidazole and thiophene rings. Biotin is covalently bound to €-amino groups of lysine to form biocytin in the enzymes. b - Biotin occurs mainly in combined forms bound to protein through the -N-lysine moiety. To avoid deficiency and its causes there is a need of the study of its significance and structure.

Authors: M Anitha , Kurien Sajan , R Samundeswari , R Susan Poonguzhali , P Ranchana
Published: June 2024

Orchids are among the world's most beautiful sought-after cut flowers and ornamental crops. Orchid genera, namely Dendrobium, Cymbidium, Paphiopedilum, Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Cattleya and Oncidium are cultivated for cut flower production. In India, these genera are largely cultivated for cut flowers and potted plant production. Due to the intensification of agriculture, there has been a rise in environmental pollution, primarily caused by the excessive and uncontrolled application of synthetic and chemical inputs in farming.

Abiotic stress refers to environmental factors or conditions that can adversely affect the expansion, growth, and survival of living organisms, particularly plants. Abiotic stress can vary in intensity, duration, and geographical distribution. In many cases, organisms have evolved mechanisms to cope with certain levels of stress, and some species may be naturally more tolerant to specific abiotic stressors. Drought tolerance involves the activation of stress-responsive genes. Transcription factors like DREB/CBF (Dehydration-Responsive Element Binding/C-repeat binding factor) play a role in activating genes involved in stress response, osmotic adjustment, and protective proteins. Drought-tolerant plants may adjust their photosynthetic rate to conserve water. Heat stress tolerance is a complex trait influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), which may be grouped into five classes and are all highly conserved in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, are known to be produced in response to heat stress in a variety of organisms. The transcription factor was inactive, hence over expression of the AtHSF 1 gene in Arabidopsis had no impact on thermo tolerance. This chapter's overarching conclusion is that heat and drought conditions cause complicated reactions in plants, and that the best defense may require a number of genes.
