Provinces in the Philippines, such as Ilocos Norte, have areas that struggle to manage water efficiently and mitigate disasters brought on by numerous annual storms despite existing irrigation designs. A more pragmatic approach to irrigation designs is needed to resolve this issue. This study aimed to design and develop a miniature smart water management prototype that combines irrigation and floodwater systems featuring disaster preparedness that the country could implement. The study employed an operational research design to construct a scaled-down smart and autonomous water management system with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. The prototype featured contingency measures, irrigation control, and short message services (SMS) through ultrasonic sensors, a soil moisture sensor, and actuators. The results showed that the precision tests of ultrasonic sensors and the soil moisture sensor were precise between readings. All components were functional and in good condition. Acceptability and adaptability tests yielded a weighted mean of 4.07 and 4.13, respectively, translating high levels in each. Ultrasonic and soil moisture sensors have minimal variations in each reading, inferring reliability and consistency. Every constituent component is functional, and the prototype is highly acceptable in design. The prototype is capable of being adapted for modifications and upgrades to accommodate larger scales, suggesting implementation near areas experiencing agricultural challenges.

Global food security is at risk due to climate change and outdated agricultural technology. The application of readily available technology and input management increased the food supply by 10 to 30 percent, raising a need for alternative farming practices. Furthermore, this study designed, developed, tested, and evaluated an automated, solar-powered aeroponics structure for plant cultivation and monitoring. A research and development approach was used, adapting the iterative model with its four phases: design (planning the prototype), development (creating program logic and assembling components), testing (functionality testing), and evaluation (assessing strengths and weaknesses of the prototype), creating a manageable and flexible workflow, allowing the researchers to incorporate changes based on ongoing feedback. The researchers constructed a prototype with three (3) main components: a growing chamber, a control panel, and a water reservoir. This system was programmed to read and transmit sensor data to the cloud for monitoring. Testing confirmed the functionality of all parts, and evaluation revealed the prototype to be both user-friendly and adaptable to user preferences. In conclusion, the aeroponics structure's high ratings in functionality, acceptability, and adaptability demonstrate a well-performing and user-friendly prototype. This aeroponics system offers a promising and efficient way to advance agricultural practices through its high adaptability to a wide range of conditions. Farmers will be able to modify the aeroponics structure to grow a variety of crops, including vegetables, as it advances. Moreover, the system requires less manual labor due to its automated features, making it an efficient and convenient agricultural innovation.

According to a report by the Climate Transparency organization, Indonesia is in a critical situation. The organization states that the Indonesian government is not taking adequate steps to meet the Paris Agreement's target of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. As the world's fifth-largest carbon emitter, Indonesia requires concrete actions to reduce its carbon emissions. One approach is to enhance the responsibility and accountability of companies in carbon-intensive industries to disclose their emissions. This study aims to identify the factors influencing carbon emission disclosure. The research uses a population of non-financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021-2023, with 52 samples selected through purposive sampling. Multiple linear regression analysis is applied in this study to examine the relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The results show that firm size affects carbon emission disclosure, while leverage and managerial ownership do not impact carbon emission disclosure.

This study investigated the efficacy of different coagulants, namely ferric chloride and aluminum sulfate at a concentration of 1.95 g/L, and aluminum chlorohydrate at a concentration of 2.1 g/L, in removing microplastics from plastic recycling facility wastewater under different pH conditions. The results showed that the presence of microplastics in wastewater was 76% in the form of fragments, followed by films and fibers in smaller amounts. The size of these microplastics varies, with a dominant size range of 251-500 μm. At pH 6, ferric chloride and aluminum sulfate were able to remove 75% and 90% of the microplastic abundance, respectively, by adding a dose of 1.95 g/L. However, the highest removal efficiency was obtained by adding a dose of 2.1 g/L Aluminium chlorohydrate at pH 8. These findings underscore the importance of selecting suitable coagulants and optimizing treatment operational conditions based on the type and size distribution of microplastics present in the wastewater system.

Formal and Substantive Coherence of Accounting Items Used for Management Purposes: Option or Necessity?
Authors: Silvia Avi Maria ,   Full Professor in Business Administration Management, Department- Ca’Foscari Venezia S. Giobbe – Cannaregio 873- 30121 Venezia, Italy
Published: July 2024

The formal and substantive coherence of the accounting items in the documents based on which managers' decisions are made identifies a necessary element for decision-making to be based on data that allow the best decisions to be made so that the effect of the company's efficiency is maximized and planned objectives are achieved. However, this coherence is not the only one that must distinguish the company. Coherence between planned and actual actions,coherence between what is verbally, even informally, illustrated and what is carried out at the operational level, coherence between company contracts entered into with workers and company behaviour implemented toward them, coherence between what is indicated in sustainability reporting and the actions carried out by the company in favour of the environment, character in terms of the activities carried out by management and the actions carried out by workers hierarchically subordinate to those managers, are examples of coherence that is in addition to the need for formal and substantive coherence within the items used in the integrated information system. Coherence must permeate every company area: organizational, logistical, accounting, production, commercial, etc. The absence of coherence, even in only one business area, can cause serious harm to business management which, is characterized by gaps and inconsistencies, will not be able to be carried out in a thoroughly efficient and effective manner and, consequently, will not be able to allow the achievement of the company's income, financial and equity objectives planned in the strategic plan and annual budget.

Based on the conducted research, the author proposed the concept of the personality of a crime victim — participant in public mass events (including protest actions). The identity of the victim of a crime — participant in public mass events (including protest actions) has significant features that are due to a number of factors. The author’s approach to the typology of crime victims — participants of public mass events is given. Among the victims of crime — participants in public mass events (including protest actions), as by analogy, the typology of victims of crime can be distinguished: accidental victims, situational victims and professional victims. The study of the identity of the victim of a crime — participant in public mass events allows us to form an idea of the mechanism of committing a crime during and at the venue of public mass events (including protest actions) and to compile a victimological characteristic of the analyzed crimes. The active application by law enforcement agencies in practice of the achievements of victimology in relation to the crimes under consideration makes it possible to predict the future behavior of the victim of a crime — a participant in public mass events (including protest actions), ultimately — will lead to minimizing the victims of the analyzed crimes.

Authors: Beloded Diana R.
Published: July 2024

Digitalization affects the victimization of society and, first of all, young people. Her behavior often reveals traits of sacrifice, which is initiated by certain external forces . Young people, including minors, are increasingly taking part in the growing number of mass protests. The relevance of studying the reasons for participation and finding solutions to prevent unauthorized public events is increasing from year to year, since such rallies often become the site of illegal actions. The use of tools to manipulate the consciousness of young people contributes to an increase in their level of victimization, just as participation in protest events often leads to sanctions against them. The involvement of young people is carried out mainly through the resources of the digital environment through information and psychological influence. This article examines the psychological mechanisms of youth involvement in antisocial behavior, citing sources indicating that some protests were organized by foreign sponsors to damage the economic, political and social well-being of the state through specially designed means of destructive propaganda. This article reflects measures to increase the psychological preparedness of users of the digital environment, recommendations for ensuring the psychological safety of representatives of the younger generation.

Authors: Utami Yeni , Ramadhanintyas Karina Nur
Published: July 2024

HIV/AIDS menjadi salah satu penyakit yang sangat membunuh dikalangan remaja. Hal tersebut dikarenakan perilaku seks bebas pada remaja dan penggunaan narkoba. Pergaulan bebas pada remaja menjadi resiko untuk tertular penyakit menular seksual seperti HIV/AIDS karena remaja tidak memiliki pengetahuan yang benar tentang kesehatan reproduksi dan seks. Berdasarkan study pendahuluan pada 10 remaja karang taruna yang ada di desa Kerik didapatkan sebanyak 8 orang remaja karang taruna mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak tahu tentang penyakit HIV/AIDS dan dalam keluarga mereka tidak ada tempat berbagi dan bertanya tentang masalah yang mereka hadapi seperti tentang seks dan kesehatan reproduksi. Sedangkan 2 orang remaja karang taruna mengatakan bahwa mereka tahu sedikit tentang penyakit HIV/AIDS dari internet dan dari anggota keluarga tidak pernah menjelaskan tentang seks dan kesehatan reproduksi. Peningkatan pengetahuan kepada remaja dapat dilakukan dengan pemberian edukasi kesehatan tentang HIV/AIDS.
Les Périphéries de la guerre dans Les Perses, Les Sept et Les Suppliantes d’Eschyle
Authors: LYON ROVA
Published: July 2024

La guerre est un thème essentiel de la littérature ancienne. Elle est le
cadre dans lequel cette dernière commence en Occident avec Homère et
ses héros en quête de gloire. Elle le demeure avec l’apparition de la
tragédie, mais le but et la façon dont elle est présentée ne sont plus les
mêmes. Les armées, avec Eschyle, ne sont plus au premier plan : place a
été faite à ceux qui souffrent, non pas les batailles, mais le désespoir de
leurs pertes. Ainsi la tragédie se concentre sur les périphéries de la guerre
en mettant celle-ci, faite d’armes et de sang, en périphérie de la scène. Et
cela parce qu’elle justifie ce qu’Eschyle montre à ses spectateurs : les ré -
actions émotionnelles de ceux qui restent derrière, de ceux qui fuient ou
de ceux qui sont sur le point de subir le conflit. L’objectif de cet article
est donc de montrer comment et pourquoi la guerre, dans Les Perses, Les
Sept et Les Suppliantes, trois pièces présentant le temps qui suit, accompa-
gne et précède la guerre, est mise en périphérie de la scène pour le béné-
fice de la monstration des émotions provoquées par la guerre, passée,
actuelle ou à venir.
Teatralización de la guerra civil española y estética de la confrontación en Noche de guerra en el Museo del Prado de Alberti y Guernica de López Mozo
Authors: KAMWA KENMOGNE Harman
Published: July 2024

La presente reflexión es un estudio de las obras teatrales Noche de guerra
en el Museo del Prado de Rafael Alberti y Guernica de Jerónimo López Mozo.
El estudio plantea el problema del proceso de teatralización de la guerra
civil española en las obras de Alberti y López Mozo: ¿cómo la pintura
representa el conflicto y qué funciones desempeña esta remediación de
obras pictóricas en el teatro y en la sociedad española? De acuerdo con
el principio de la intermedialidad que posibilita el análisis de las intrinca-
ciones e interacciones entre los medios de comunicación, mostramos que
los dos dramaturgos españoles personifican y re-contextualizan la pintura
como el principal soporte de su proceso creativo en la reconstrucción in-
termediática del conflicto. De la estética de la confrontación surge una
experiencia original y dolorosa del combate y la necesidad de liberar el
pasado con el propósito de restablecer la justicia y posibilitar la reconcil-
iación del pueblo consigo mismo y con sus instituciones.
Hacia el contexto de la literatura de la Guerra Civil: memorias, desmemorias e historia
Authors: MÉRIDA DONOSO José Antonio
Published: July 2024

El siguiente artículo ofrece un enfoque caleidoscópico a la literatura
que aborda la Guerra Civil en su contexto. Para ello, exploramos las rela-
ciones prolíficas y complejas entre literatura, memoria e historia, con-
siderando los cambios producidos en el contexto histórico de las últimas
décadas como punto de partida para analizar las nuevas formas y sub-
temas de esta literatura y evaluar hasta qué punto constituyen una “nueva
literatura”. De esta forma, entendemos que el análisis de este fenómeno
literario debe partir de los motivos de la necesidad social de recordar
desde un posicionamiento y una voluntad ética que se relacionan tanto
con las políticas memorísticas como con los procesos de desmemoria que
han perdurado en España.
En última instancia, atender a la proliferación de estas narrativas, in-
cluidas las comicográficas y fílmicas, implica situarse en el contexto
histórico en el que se desarrollan. Esto permitirá arrojar luz sobre los mo-
tivos de su éxito en relación con las distintas memorias identitarias con-
struidas en torno al deber de recordar, así como sobre las posibles
instrumentalizaciones que las rodean.
