Authors: Tafrijiyah Antika , Widiyanto Bayu , Elfiana Nia
Published: February 2024

PT. Gunung Slamat, as a company operating in the tea processing industry, was founded by the Sosrodjojo family. This scientific article aims to analyze land productivity in composting solid tea waste at PT. Gunung Slamat by considering land area, waste processing capacity, and providing recommendations for solutions that can significantly increase the productivity of solid tea waste processing land. The research adopts a phenomenological approach to obtain the required data. Phenomenology is defined as a type of research that seeks to analyze descriptively and introspectively various forms of human consciousness and experience. Data obtained from quantitative observations will cover various aspects such as the amount of compost produced, the time required to process waste into compost, which will then be collected and analyzed. The compost produced from waste processing at PT. Gunung Slamat is used as fertilizer within the company's environment and distributed to local farmers, benefiting both the environment and the local community. This compost product is not sold because PT. Gunung Slamat focuses more on selling tea products. In waste processing, several issues have been identified, including a lack of suitable technology for utilizing tea waste. The research findings indicate that land productivity in composting solid tea waste fluctuates during the study period, with changes associated with various factors such as waste quantity, weather, and management practices. Further evaluation of the factors influencing land productivity, along with the implementation of more advanced technology, can enhance efficiency and have a positive impact on the environment.

Kebonagung Sub-district, Sidoharjo District, Wonogiri Regency is the Wonoagung Wonogiri Organic Farming Association (PPOWW) location. Mitra is an organization engaged in organic rice and cattle cultivation. The conversion of bovine dung into organic fertilizer, particularly liquid fertilizer containing biological agents, is one of the waste elimination strategies employed to prevent environmental contamination. The nutrient content of organic fertilizer material sources varies. Organic fertilizer of high quality conforms to the Standard for Organic Fertilizers established by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia. Only some producers are aware of the standard quality requirements for organic fertilizer. It is necessary to analyze the nutrient content of organic fertilizer products to determine whether the quality of organic fertilizer is excellent. A preliminary survey of partner conditions, preparation of materials (organic fertilizer), and analysis of fertilizer content are among the activities performed. The C/N ratio of organic fertilizer is 8.41, and its pH is 7.6. The analysis results indicate that the Wonoagung Wonogiri Organic Agriculture Association's organic fertilizer products meet the liquid organic fertilizer quality standards. This condition demonstrates that the raw materials used in organic fertilizer production are of high quality and that the appropriate procedures have been followed. Adding biological agents to the production of organic fertilizer can enhance the quality of the finished product.

Published: February 2024

Under the international background of economic globalization and cultural diversity, it is an important task for current higher education to cultivate international talents with intercultural competence. In the field of foreign language teaching, more and more scholars pay attention to the integration of English education and intercultural education in English curriculum system, but there are relatively insufficient researches that can provide practical and operable guidance for front-line teachers to implement intercultural education. Nowadays blended teaching is recognized as an effective teaching model. This study intends to construct a blended teaching model which can integrate intercultural competence training into English courses, so as to help front-line teachers know how to carry out intercultural teaching design and implementation with the ultimate goal of improving college students’ foreign language ability and intercultural competence together.

Published: February 2024

Abstract: The purpose of the present study the 30 male students were selected randomly as subjects from the B.P.Ed. class of Government College of Physical Education, Bhubaneswar, Odisha within the age group of 21 to 30 years of age. Anxiety was selected as the dependent variable for the study. Total subjects were divided into three groups (two experimental groups and one control group) equally having 10 numbers of subject in each group. A randomized group design was applied for the study. It is inferred that, though significant decrease in anxiety was recorded between pre and post test scores in both experimental groups, no difference was obtained among the three post test scores as there was initial numerical differences in pretest scores. This might have happened due to less number of subjects in the sample. Keeping in view of the present experimentation and analysis of results it can be concluded that, though a trend of effect was realised in the present study on the effect of experiment A and B group, a more robust inference or conclusion can be made with more number of subjects and differential duration and combination of experimental factors.

In recent years, the rise of Programmable Data Planes and the
development of programming languages like P4 have provided robust tools
for creating new network protocols and revamping existing network
applications and systems. Network telemetry is a significant area of
interest identified by the P4 Application Working Group. Collecting
Real-time data and detailed network-wide information is crucial for
designing practical monitoring tools integrated into complex Operations,
Administration, and maintenance applications. The In-Band Network
Telemetry specification introduced by the P4 Language Consortium is the
foundation for many of these in-band monitoring systems. While
traditional network monitoring methods are widely used, they are not
well-suitable for next-generation network management and control in an
efficient manner. This review comprehensively includes traditional
network measurement technology INT technology, including its development
stages, history, and research results. This review also highlights the
technical advancement in Data Plane Programmability and its potential
for next-generation network measurement. We also discuss the research
gaps and future direction for various network management requirements.
Impact of momentum perturbation on convective boundary layer turbulence
Authors: Kumar Mukesh , Jonko Alex , Lassman William , Mirocha Jeffrey D , Kosović Branko , Banerjee Tirtha
Published: February 2024

Mesoscale-to-microscale coupling is an important tool to conduct
turbulence-resolving multiscale simulations of realistic atmospheric
flows, which are crucial for applications ranging from wind energy to
wildfire spread studies. Different techniques are used to facilitate the
development of realistic turbulence in the large-eddy simulation (LES)
domain while minimizing computational cost. Here, we explore the impact
of a simple and computationally efficient Stochastic Cell Perturbation
method using momentum perturbation (SCPM-M) to accelerate turbulence
generation in boundary-coupled LES simulations using the Weather
Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. We simulate a convective boundary
layer (CBL) to characterize the production and dissipation of turbulent
kinetic energy (TKE) and the variation of TKE budget terms. Furthermore,
we evaluate the impact of applying momentum perturbations of three
magnitudes below, up to, and above the CBL on the TKE budget terms.
Momentum perturbations greatly reduce the fetch associated with
turbulence generation. When applied to half the vertical extent of the
boundary layer, momentum 1 perturbations produce an adequate amount of
turbulence. However, when applied above the CBL, additional structures
are generated at the top of the CBL, near the inversion layer. The
magnitudes of the TKE budgets produced by SCPM-M when applied at varying
heights and with different perturbation amplitudes are always higher
near the surface and inversion layer than those produced by No-SCPM, as
are their contributions to the TKE. This study provides a better
understanding of how SCPM-M reduces computational costs and how
different budget terms contribute to TKE in a boundary-coupled LES
simulation.
Magnetic Domain States and Critical Sizes in the Titanomagnetite Series
Authors: Cych Brendan J , Paterson Greig , Nagy Lesleis , Williams Wyn , Moskowitz Bruce
Published: February 2024

The minerals carrying the magnetic remanence in geological samples are
commonly a solid solution series of iron-titanium spinels known as
titanomagnetites. Despite the range of compositions within this series,
micromagnetic studies that characterize the magnetic domain structures
present in these minerals have typically focused on magnetite. No
studies systematically comparing the domain-states present in
titanomagnetites have been undertaken since the discovery of the single
vortex (SV) structure and the advent of modern micromagnetism. The
magnetic properties of the titanomagnetite series are known to vary with
composition, which may influence the domain states present in these
minerals, and therefore the magnetic stability of the samples bearing
them.We present results from micromagnetic simulations of titanomagnetite
ellipsoids of varying shape and composition to find the size ranges of
the single domain (SD) and SV structures. These size ranges overlap,
allowing for regions where the SD and SV structures are both available.
These regions are of interest as they may lead to magnetic instability
and “pTRM tails’ in paleointensity experiments. We find that although
this SD+SV zone occupies a narrow range of sizes for equidimensional
magnetite, it is widest for intermediate (TM30-40) titanomagnetite
compositions, and increases for both oblate and prolate particles, with
some compositions and sizes having an SD+SV zone up to 100s of nm wide.
Our results help to explain the prevalence of pTRM tail-like behavior in
paleointensity experiments. They also highlight regions of particles
with unusual domain states to target for further investigation into the
definitive mechanism behind paleointensity failure.
How extreme apparitions of the volcanic and anthropogenic south east Asian aerosol plume simultaneously trigger and sustain: El Niño and Indian Ocean Dipole events and drought in south eastern Australia . First attribution and mechanism
Authors: Potts Keith Alan
Published: February 2024

Volcanic aerosol plumes over south east Asia (SEAsia), and only over
SEAsia, have always been the trigger and sustaining cause of: El Niño
Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events which are the dominant mode of
variability in the global climate; Australian and Indonesian droughts;
increased global temperatures; and Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) events. In
recent decades this natural plume has been augmented by an anthropogenic
plume which has intensified these events especially from September to
November. Understanding the mechanism which enables aerosols over
SEAsia, and only over SEAsia, to create ENSO events is crucial to
understanding the global climate. I show that the SEAsian aerosol plume
causes ENSO events by: reflecting/absorbing solar radiation which warms
the upper troposphere; and reducing surface radiation which cools the
surface under the plume. This inversion reduces convection in SEAsia
thereby suppressing the Walker Circulation and the Trade Winds which
causes the Sea Surface Temperature (SST) to rise in the central Pacific
Ocean and creates convection there. This further weakens/reverses the
Walker Circulation driving the climate into an ENSO state which is
maintained until the SEAsian aerosols dissipate and the climate system
relaxes into a non-ENSO state. Data from the Global Volcanism Program
(151 years), the Last Millennium Ensemble (1,156 years), MERRA-2 (41
years) and NASA MODIS on Terra (21 years) demonstrates this connection
with the Nino 3.4 and 1+2 SST, the Southern Oscillation Index, and three
events commonly associated with ENSO: drought in south eastern
Australia; the IOD and a warmer World.
Quantitatively Monitoring of Seasonal Frozen Ground Freeze-thaw Cycle Using Ambient Seismic Noise Data
Authors: Liu Hui , Li Jing , Hu Rong , Chi Benxin
Published: February 2024

Seasonal frozen ground freeze-thaw cycles in cold regions are an
essential indicator of climate change, infrastructure, and ecosystems in
the near-surface critical zone (CZ). As a non-invasive geophysical
method, the ambient noise seismic method estimates the relative velocity
variations (dv/v) based on coda waves or ballistic waves, providing new
insights into the seasonal frozen ground changes in the soil properties
and hydrology data, such as soil moisture content (SMC), temperature,
and groundwater level. Due to the dv/v lack of accurate depth
information and average over tens of days at low frequencies, it is
challenging to provide the needed temporal-spatial resolution for the
micrometer-level frozen ground variation. In this work, we combine the
1D linear three-component seismic array and hydrological sensor to
conduct seasonal frozen ground freeze-thaw monitoring experiments.
Besides the conventional dv/v information, we calculate surface-wave
(SW) dispersion curve variations (dc/c), which are more sensitive to SMC
and can characterize the daily air temperature variations. Meanwhile,
the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) amplitude and seismic
attenuation also show highly consistent changes to the freeze-thaw
processes. This work demonstrates that the different ambient noise
seismic information (dc/c, HVSR, and attenuation) provide robust
observations for hydrogeological monitoring, such as air temperature,
SMC, and groundwater level changes during seasonal freeze-thaw
processes.
Thermodynamic Modeling of Alterations During Climate Transition Reveals Evidence of Past Temperate Conditions on Venus
Authors: White Haskelle Trigue , Chevrier Vincent F
Published: February 2024

We modeled the thermodynamic evolution of the venusian crust in the
presence of an atmosphere and paleo-ocean during a potential climate
transition to its present uninhabitable state. We show that the
present-day atmospheric composition of Venus is reproduced by the
interaction between a paleo-ocean and crust during a runaway greenhouse.
The evolution of oxygen fugacity with increasing surface temperatures
converges with the present-day value (10-20 bar) at current temperatures
(400-500°C). Other atmospheric species (CO, CH4, H2S, SO2) show varying
behavior depending on RedOx, but are consistent with increasing oxygen
fugacity. Low-pressure conditions result in the genesis of unique
mineral parageneses, including tremolite and zeolites, that could
survive on Venus over geological timescales and are indicative of stable
liquid water in the past if detected by future missions. Therefore, the
resulting venusian mineralogy in our models could be markers of past
habitable conditions that were altered by a significant greenhouse
effect.
Improving Discharge Predictions in Ungauged Basins: Harnessing the Power of Disaggregated Data Modeling and Machine Learning
Authors: Muhebwa Aggrey , Gleason Colin Joseph , Feng Dongmei , Taneja Jay
Published: February 2024

Current machine learning methods for discharge prediction often employ
aggregated basin-wide hydrometeorological data (lumped modeling) for
parametric and non-parametric training. This approach may overlook the
spatial heterogeneity of river systems and their impact on discharge
patterns. We hypothesize that integrating temporal-spatial hydrologic
knowledge into the data modeling process (distributed/disaggregated
modeling) can improve the performance of discharge prediction models. To
test this hypothesis, we designed experiments comparing the performance
of identical Long Short-Term Memory Recurrent Neural Network (LSTM-RNN)
models forced with either lumped or distributed features. We gather
meteorological forcing and static attributes for the Mackenzie basin in
Canada- a large and unique basin. Importantly, discharge performance is
assessed out-of-sample with k-fold replication across gauges. Results
reveal a 9.6% improvement in the mean Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE)
and a 4.6% improvement in mean Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) when LSTMs
are trained with distributed information. Notably, the models exhibit
consistently unbiased predictions, with a negligible relative bias
(RBias ≈ 0.0) across all predictions. These experiments and results
demonstrate the importance of integrating topologically guided
geomorphologic and hydrologic information (distributed modeling) in
data-driven discharge predictions.
Downstream Flood Inundation Assessment due to Dam Breach of Dudh Koshi Storage Hydroelectric Project using HEC-RAS 2D
Authors: Shrestha Biken , Kafle Mukesh Raj , Bhattarai Santosh
Published: February 2024

Dam breach is rare event in which dam fails releasing impounded water to
downstream regions. Dam breach has low probability of occurrence but
carries high risk of destruction. Dudhkoshi Storage Hydroelectric
Project concrete faced rock fill dam (CFRD) was studied for dam breach
under overtopping and piping failure modes. Dam breach simulation and
flood propagation study is vital for identifying and minimizing the
risks associated with breach flood. Two scenarios namely base-case
scenario with average value of dam breach parameters and worst-case
scenario with value of dam breach parameters resulting in maximum
output. Local and global sensitivity analysis are performed for four dam
breach parameters (dam breach width, breach formation time, weir
coefficient, trigger failure elevation). Sensitivity analysis is
performed for two river profile. Sensitivity on peak discharge, peak
velocity, arrival time and water surface elevation were evaluated.
ArcGIS, HEC-RAS and OriginPro 2022b are used for dam breach analysis.
Overtopping failure was found to be critical as compared to piping mode.
Variability in ice cover does not affect annual metabolism estimates in a small eutrophic reservoir
Authors: Howard Dexter W , Brentrup Jennifer A , Richardson David C , Lewis Abigail S. L. , Olsson Freya , Carey Cayelan
Published: February 2024

Temperate reservoirs and lakes worldwide are experiencing decreases in
ice cover, which will likely alter the net balance of gross primary
production (GPP) and respiration (R) in these ecosystems. However, most
metabolism studies to date have focused on summer dynamics, thereby
excluding winter dynamics from annual metabolism budgets. To address
this gap, we analyzed six years of year-round high-frequency dissolved
oxygen data to estimate daily rates of net ecosystem production (NEP),
GPP, and R in a eutrophic, dimictic reservoir that has intermittent ice
cover. Over six years, the reservoir exhibited slight heterotrophy
during both summer and winter. We found winter and summer metabolism
rates to be similar: summer NEP had a median rate of -0.06 mg O2 L-1
day-1 (range: -15.86 to 3.20 mg O2 L-1 day-1), while median winter NEP
was -0.02 mg O2 L-1 day-1 (range: -8.19 to 0.53 mg O2 L-1 day-1).
Despite large differences in the duration of ice cover among years,
there were minimal differences in NEP among winters. Overall, the
inclusion of winter data had a limited effect on annual metabolism
estimates, likely due to short winter periods in this reservoir (ice
durations 0–35 days) relative to higher-latitude lakes. Our work
reveals a smaller difference between winter and summer NEP than in lakes
with continuous ice cover. Ultimately, our work underscores the
importance of studying full-year metabolism dynamics in a range of
aquatic ecosystems to help anticipate the effects of declining ice cover
across lakes worldwide.
An ML-based P3-like multimodal two-moment ice microphysics in the ICON model
Authors: Seifert Axel , Siewert Christoph
Published: February 2024

Machine learning (ML) is used to build a bulk microphysical
parameterization including ice processes. Simulations of the Lagrangian
super-particle model McSnow are used as training data. The machine
learning performs a coarse-graining of the particle-resolved
microphysics to multi-category two-moment bulk equations. Besides mass
and number, prognostic particle properties (P3) like melt water, rime
mass, and rime volume are predicted by the ML-based bulk model. The
ML-based scheme is tested with simulations of increasing complexity. As
a box model, the ML-based bulk scheme can reproduce the simulations of
McSnow quite accurately. In 3d idealized squall line simulations, the
ML-based P3-like scheme provides a more realistic extended stratiform
region when compared to the standard two-moment bulk scheme in ICON. In
a realistic case study, the ML-based scheme runs stably, but can not
significantly improve the results. This shows that machine learning can
be used to coarse-grain super-particle simulations to a bulk scheme of
arbitrary complexity.
Significant reduction of potential exposure to extreme marine heatwaves by achieving carbon neutrality
Authors: Oh Seok-Geun , Son Seok-Woo , Jeong Sujong , Cho Yang-Ki
Published: February 2024

Marine heatwave (MHW), a prolonged period of anomalously warm seawater,
has a catastrophic repercussion on marine ecosystems. With global
warming, MHWs have become increasingly frequent, intense, and prolonged.
To avoid irreversible damages from such extreme events, net-zero carbon
emissions by the 2050s, called carbon neutrality, were proposed. Here,
we evaluate the impact of carbon neutrality on MHWs in the late 21st
century using multi-model projections from the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) Shared Socioeconomic Pathway
(SSP)1-1.9 and SSP3-7.0 scenarios. It is found that if the current
regional rivalry over carbon emissions continues (i.e., SSP3-7.0), the
MHWs in the late 21st century will become stronger and longer than
historical ones, especially in the western boundary current and
equatorial current regions. Approximately 68% of the global ocean will
be exposed to permanent MHWs, regionally 93% in the Indian Ocean, 76%
in the Pacific Ocean, 68% in the Atlantic Ocean, 65% in the Coastal
Ocean, and 48% in the Southern Ocean. Such MHWs can be significantly
reduced by achieving carbon neutrality (i.e., SSP1-1.9). In particular,
the spatial proportion of the ocean exposed to permanent MHWs can be
reduced to as low as 0.02 to 0.07%, depending on the regions. This
result underscores the critical importance of ongoing efforts to achieve
net-zero carbon emissions to reduce the potential ecological risks
induced by extreme MHWs.
UCIS4EQ applied to the M7.1 2017 earthquake in Puebla (México)
Authors: Monterrubio-Velasco Marisol , Pienkowska Marta , Bhihe Cedric , Blanco-Prieto Rut , Iglesias Arturo , Puente Josep de la
Published: February 2024

The Urgent Computing Integrated Services for Earthquakes (UCIS4EQ) is
proposed as a novel Urgent Computing (UC) seismic workflow that focuses
on short-time reports of synthetic estimates of the consequences of
moderate to large earthquakes. UC combines High-Performance Computing
(HPC), High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA), and optimized solvers to
perform numerical simulations during or immediately after emergency
situations, typically within a few minutes to a few hours. Complex
edge-to-end UC workflows coordinate the execution of multiple model
realizations to account for input and model uncertainties and can
provide decision-makers with numerical estimates of the outcomes of
emergency scenarios, such as earthquakes addressed by UCIS4EQ.

UCIS4EQ is being driven toward operational maturity thanks to the
technological and scientific developments within the eFlows4HPC project.
Based on containerised micorservices, this workflow is fully
orchestrated by the PyCOMPSs workflow manager to automatically prepare
and manage physics-based deterministic simulation suites for rapid
synthetic results. Through pre-computed and on-the-fly simulations,
UCIS4EQ delivers estimates of relevant ground motion parameters, such as
peak ground velocity, peak ground acceleration, or shaking duration,
with very high spatial resolution. The physics-based engine includes
pre-trained Machine Learning (ML) models fed with pre-computed
simulation databases, as well as deterministic 3D simulations on demand,
providing results in minutes and hours, respectively. The combined
results, when well-calibrated, could lead to a new generation of ground
shaking maps that complement GMPEs for rapid hazard assessment.

To demonstrate the potential use of UC in seismology,  in this work we
show the UCIS4EQ simulation of the M7.1 Puebla earthquake that occurred
in central Mexico on the 19th of September 2017. With a hypocentre at
18.40ºN, 98.72ºW and 57 km depth, the Puebla earthquake was located
about 150 km southeast from Mexico City. Identified as a severe event
(VIII) in the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale, it resulted in a total
of 370 killed and around 6000 injured, as well as structural damages,
downed telephone lines, and ruptured gas mains.
Similarities in Meteorological Composites Among Different Atmospheric River Detection Tools During Atmospheric River Landfall.
Authors: Quagraine Kwesi Twentwewa , O'Brien Travis Allen , Islam Mohammad Rubaiat
Published: February 2024

Many atmospheric river detectors (ARDTs) have been developed over the
past few decades to capture atmospheric rivers (ARs). However, different
ARDTs have been observed to capture different frequencies, shapes and
sizes of ARs. Due to this, many questions including investigating the
underlying phenomena for ARs in the ARDTs have been posed. In this
paper, we assess four different ARDTs and investigate the underlying
meteorological phenomena during landfalling ARs. We find that during
landfalling ARs events, there exists a prevalent low-pressure and
high-pressure confluence that enhances moisture influx toward the
landfalling site. The strength of the pressure gradient in the
confluence region enhances the influx of the integrated vapor transport.
The four ARDTs predominantly capture similar atmospheric processes,
nonetheless, they have statistically different magnitudes.

Objective: To compare demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of children with type 1 diabetes aged <6 years across three international registries: Diabetes Prospective Follow-up Registry (DPV, Europe), T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Network (T1DX-QI, USA) and Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN, Australasia). Research Design and Methods: Analysis of 2019-2021 prospective registry data from 8,004 children were compared. Results: Mean±SD age at diabetes diagnosis was 3.2±1.4 (DPV, ADDN), and 3.7±1.8 years (T1DX-QI). Diabetes duration was 1.4±1.3 (DPV), 1.4±1.6 (T1DX-QI), and 1.5±1.3 years (ADDN). and BMI z scores were in the overweight range in 36.2% (DPV), 41.8% (T1DX-QI), and 50.0% (ADDN). and Mean±SD HbA1c varied between registries: DPV 7.3±0.9% (56±10mmol/mol, T1DX-QI 8.0±1.4% (64±16mmol/mol), ADDN 7.7±1.2% (61±13mmol/mol). Overall, 37.5% of children achieved target HbA1c of <7.0% (53mmol/mol); 43.6% in DPV, 25.5% in T1DX-QI and 27.5% in ADDN. Use of diabetes technologies varied between registries for use of insulin pump: DPV 86.6%, T1DX 46.6%, and ADDN 39.2%; and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM): DPV 85.1%, T1DX-QI 57.6%, and ADDN 70.5%. Use of hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems was uncommon (0.5% (ADDN) to 6.9% (DPV)). Conclusions: Across three major registries, over half of children aged <6 years did not achieve target HbA1c of <7.0% (53 mmol/mol). CGM was used by most participants, while insulin pump use varied across registries and HCL use was rare. The differences seen in glycemia and use of diabetes technologies between registries requires further investigation to determine potential contributing factors and areas to target to improve the care of this vulnerable group.

Results showed that a considerable increase in plant height (49.30%) and number of leaves (57.89%) with the application of bacterial antagonists A1 and S2 respectively. Application of fish-jaggery extract increased the shoot girth by 29.6%. Soil application of Trichoderma combined with spraying of bacterial antagonists A1 and S2 also increased the shoot girth considerably. Application of jeevamrutha increased the total leaf area by 49.98% and chlorophyll contents viz. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll was also maximum with this application. Phytophthora infection at collar region was not observed in plants treated with potassium phosphonate and fish-jaggery extract. Application of egg-lemon juice extract, jeevamrutha and bioagents also recorded less infection on collar region. The study indicated the efficacy of fermented organic fertilizers and bioagents in improving plant growth and also in reducing pathogen infection at nursery stage.  Hence a combination of native antagonistic microflora and indigenous biopreparations could be effectively utilized in commercial production of healthy planting materials in black pepper nurseries.

A minha licenciatura em Medicina foi feita no ICBAS – Universidade do Porto. Nesses tempos de Faculdade mantive sempre ligação ao Desporto. Após a realização do exame para a especialidade optei pela Cirurgia Geral. Quando terminei a especiali¬dade, tinha já realizado a Pós-Gra¬duação de Medicina Desportiva pela FMUP e acabei depois por concluir a especialidade de Medicina Desportiva. … o ambiente de uma sala de bloco operatório é um ambiente muito próprio que se pretende tranquilo, onde existe uma equipa, onde todos têm uma posição e uma função com o objetivo de a intervenção de correr da melhor forma possível. A ansiedade que antecede os momentos antes de juma partida de futebol existe também muitas vezes antes da intervenção cirúrgica, principalmente quando temos que intervir sobre situações complexas. ... a atribuição deste Dragão de Ouro foi, por certo, um dos momen¬tos altos da minha carreira ligada ao desporto. No passado, recebi dois prémios na área do desporto, que também muito me honraram: o Prémio de Mérito e Excelência pelo Centro Desportivo da Universidade do Porto e o Galardão de Prestígio pela federação Académica do Desporto Universitário. Esta nomeação por parte do F C Porto, e dos eu Presidente, representam o reconhecimento pela minha carreira no departamento médico do FCP, que leva já quase 15 anos.

Quando refletimos sobre os avanços tecnológicos e a inclusão, é notória a desproporção de soluções que atendam também as pessoas com deficiência. No contexto de eletrodomésticos, a autonomia no uso é um tema que percorre tanto na perspectiva da usabilidade quanto da acessibilidade. Além desses aspectos, há carência de conhecimento sobre a abordagem inclusiva no desenvolvimento de produtos. Isso reflete na falta de um processo sistematizado para auxiliar equipes multidisciplinares a projetarem interfaces de produtos físicos sob a ótica da acessibilidade e inclusão. À vista disso, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo propor um processo de design de interfaces multimodais inclusivas para eletrodomésticos visando auxiliar equipes multidisciplinares no processo projetual. A partir deste cenário, adotou-se como procedimentos metodológicos o Design Science Research, contemplando quatro fases de desenvolvimento: 1. Exploratória; 2. Propositiva; 3. Avaliativa; 4. Conclusiva. De modo iterativo e participativo, a pesquisa mapeou questões relacionadas a acessibilidade de eletrodomésticos a partir da perspectiva da literatura, pessoas com deficiência visual e cegas, especialistas em acessibilidade e designers especialistas no desenvolvimento de eletrodomésticos. A partir deste cenário, foi possível reconhecer alguns problemas de acessibilidade, identificar elementos de interação para o desenvolvimento de interfaces associando à informação multimodal, compreender o processo de Design de Produtos e a abordagem do Design Inclusivo a fim de relacioná-los. Com isso foi possível estruturar um processo de design que contemple requisitos técnicos e projetuais a partir da utilização da informação multimodal e conceitos do Design Inclusivo. Com a pesquisa foi possível exercitar a multidisciplinaridade a partir de dinâmicas iterativas e discorrer acerca da acessibilidade em interfaces de eletrodomésticos a partir de elementos estruturantes e informação multimodal. Por fim, conclui-se que o processo de design de interfaces multimodais inclusivas proposto é uma ferramenta aplicável na indústria de eletrodomésticos para o desenvolvimento de produtos com abordagem inclusiva.

Ações de educação a distância (EaD) têm sido uma das estratégias da Universidade Aberta do SUS (UNA-SUS) para a formação continuada de profissionais de saúde no Brasil. Assim, programas e cursos têm sido desenvolvidos e ofertados através de ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem e de suas interfaces gráficas. Estas são mediadoras entre os conteúdos e os alunos, tornando-se fundamentais para o aprendizado efetivo na área de saúde. Este artigo apresenta a avaliação da interface gráfica da oferta piloto do Programa de Formação de Desenhistas Instrucionais da UNA-SUS, constituído de oito microcursos. Para isto foram conduzidos um Painel de Especialista, empregando avaliação heurística e hierarquização de severidade dos problemas encontrados. Em seguida, foi realizado com desenhistas instrucionais da UNA-SUS, um ensaio de interação do AVA e de um microcurso-tipo do Programa, e verificada a experiência dos usuários quanto à satisfação com a interface. Os resultados do Painel de Especialista apontaram problemas de severidade alta, média e baixa na navegação, design de interação e da informação. Os resultados do ensaio de interação corroboraram os problemas identificados no Painel Especialista, particularmente quanto à navegação e busca, rotulagem, localização e orientação do usuário, condução e controle explícito na interação, e legibilidade tipográfica. Porém, os resultados indicaram satisfação com a interface gráfica. Conclui-se que, de forma geral, os participantes possuem uma percepção satisfatória de sua experiência com a interface gráfica, ainda que as fragilidades identificadas tenham impactado na eficiência na execução de tarefas na interação com a interface. Com base na literatura e nos resultados foram feitas recomendações para aprimoramento do design da interface do Programa de Formação de Desenhistas Instrucionais da UNA-SUS.
