Sex-specific parasite prevalence is predicted by sexual size dimorphism in wild birds
Authors: Valdebenito Jose , Jones William , Székely Tamás
Published: March 2023

Males and females often differ in ecology and behaviour, and these
differences are expected to lead to sex differences in parasite
susceptibility. However, sex differences in parasite prevalence have not
yet been established across a broad range of taxa, and the ecological
and evolutionary drivers of such differences have remained contested.
Here we meta-analyse 942 sex-specific effect sizes in blood and
gastrointestinal parasites of 179 wild bird species, representing 17
avian orders. Females exhibit higher infections in both Haemoproteus and
Protozoan parasites than males and females also have higher prevalence
in both Leucocytozoon and Haemoproteus blood parasites during the
breeding season. Importantly, sex differences in parasite prevalence are
not associated with sexual selection nor parental care, although
male-biased prevalence in Leucocytozoon parasites were predicted by
male-biased size dimorphism. Taken together, breeding systems and sexual
selection have modest influence on sex difference in parasite prevalence
across the avian tree of life.

The Hunga Tonga Volcano eruption launched a myriad of atmospheric waves
that have been observed to travel around the world several times. These
waves generated Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances (TIDs) in the
ionosphere, which are known to adversely impact radio applications such
as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). One such GNSS application
is Precise Point Positioning (PPP), which can achieve cm-level accuracy
using a single receiver, following a typical convergence time of 30 mins
to 1 hour. A network of ionosondes located throughout the Australian
region were used in combination with GNSS receivers to explore the
impacts of the Hunga-Tonga Volcano eruption on the ionosphere and what
subsequent impacts they had on PPP. It is shown that PPP accuracy was
not significantly impacted by the arrival of the TIDs and Spread-F,
provided that PPP convergence had already been achieved. However, when
the PPP algorithm was initiated from a cold start either shortly before
or after the TID arrivals, the convergence times were significantly
longer. GNSS stations in northeastern Australia experienced increases in
convergence time of more than 5 hours. Further analysis reveals
increased convergence times to be caused by a super equatorial plasma
bubble (EPB), the largest observed over Australia to date. The EPB
structure was found to be ~42 TECU deep and
~300 km across, traveling eastwards at 30 m/s. The Hunga
Tonga Volcano eruption serves as an excellent example of how ionospheric
variability can impact real-world applications and the challenges
associated with modeling the ionosphere to support GNSS.
CMIP6 model fidelity in capturing the Southern Hemisphere storm track and its connections with low-frequency variability
Authors: Campbell Isaac , Renwick James Arthur
Published: March 2023

Storm tracks are a key component of global atmospheric circulation.
Their influence ranges from macro- to mesoscale dynamics, from
large-scale movement of heat and momentum to extreme weather events. The
scale of their impact makes understanding storm track dynamics critical
to forecasting and climate projections. In this study, we assess CMIP6
historical experiment fidelity to observations of the Southern
Hemisphere storm track. Specifically, storm track climatology,
variability, and its interactions with low-frequency variability, with
the aim of providing confidence for projections of future climate. We
find CMIP6 models replicate results from the ERA-5 reanalysis with high
fidelity in some regards; namely, capturing climatology of the 500hPa
geopotential height field, the role of large-scale variability, and the
baroclinic connection with high-frequency variability. However, models
fail to capture the magnitude and variability of the storm track,
particularly canonical zonal asymmetry. Our results indicate the
importance of the storm track is underestimated in CMIP6.
Linking Central Valley Deep Aquifer Recharge and High Sierra Nevada Snowpack
Authors: Werth Susanna , Shirzaei Manoochehr , Carlson Grace , Bürgmann Roland
Published: March 2023

California’s arid Central Valley relies on groundwater pumped from deep
aquifers and surface water transported from the Sierra Nevada to produce
a quarter of the United States’ food demand. The natural recharge to
deep aquifers is thought to be regulated by the adjacent high Sierra
Nevada mountains, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. We
investigate large sets of geodetic remote sensing, hydrologic, and
climate data and employ process-based models at annual time scales to
investigate possible recharge mechanism. Peak annual groundwater storage
in the Central Valley lags several months behind that of groundwater
levels, which suggests a longer transmission time for water flow than
pressure propagation. We further find that peak groundwater levels lag
the Sierra Nevada snowmelt by about one month, consistent with an ideal
fluid pressure diffusion time in the Sierra’s fractured crystalline
body. This suggests that Sierra Nevada snowpack changes likely impact
freshwater availability in the Central Valley aquifers. Our datasets,
analysis and process-based models link the current precipitation and
meltwater in the high mountain Sierra to deep Central Valley aquifers
through the mountain block recharge process. We call for new
hydroclimate models to account for the role of the Sierra in
California’s water cycle and for revision of the current management and
drought resiliency plans.

The level of performance of the extension worker is an important thing to note so that the farmer farmers feel satisfied with the performance of the extension worker. The level of satisfaction of farmer farmers in the implementation of extension is divided into three stages, namely planning, implementation and evaluation. If the implementation of regular counseling is in accordance with the needs of farmers, it will be applied to their business so that it will increase. This study aims to determine the level of satisfaction of beef cattle breeders in the beginner ability class to the performance level of extension workers in Barru District, Kaupaten Barru. This research was conducted from July to September 2021. The type of research used was descriptive quantitative. The size of the sample in this study was determined using the Slovin formula, namely 16 farmers/breeders. The research analysis method used in this study is a descriptive analysis of the Impormance Performance Analysis (IPA), and the Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI). The results of this study indicate that in the beginner ability class, it is known that the results of the calculation of the IPA analysis have an average value of importance level (y) is 2.98 and the average value of performance level (x) is 2.99, the average TKi value is 99.87. CSI calculation which states the level of satisfaction at an interval of 60 percent or 0.60. This value has not been maximized or in the quite satisfactory category, so livestock farmer groups must continue to strive to improve performance. Meanwhile, the performance of attributes in quadrant II must be maintained so that in its development it can increase the CSI value

This study aimed to examine the effect of supplementing moringa leaf meal on offal Mojosari ducks. This study used 60 female Mojosari ducks aged 3 weeks and used three different types of feed as treatments and one different type of feed as controls, with three replications for each treatment. The treatment with feed supplementation was P0 = 0% moringa leaf meal, P1 = 5% moringa leaf meal, P2 = 10% moringa leaf powder, and P3 = 15% moringa leaf meal. The parameters observed were offal, consisting of liver, heart, head, legs, feathers, and blood. The data obtained in this study were processed using analysis of variance and continued with the Duncan test. The results showed that the addition of moringa leaf powder had no effect (non-significant) (P > 0.05) on the offal of Mojosari ducks, namely the weight of the liver, heart, and feathers, while the weight of the head, legs, and blood showed a significant effect (P<0.05). Therefore, this study concluded that the addition of moringa leaf meal generally had an impact on the weight of the offal component of Mojosari ducks at the 15% level.
Analysis for unilateral contact problem with Coulomb’s friction in thermo-electro-visco-elasticity
Authors: Bouallala Mustapha , Essoufi El-Hassan
Published: March 2023

The aim of this paper is to study a Signorini?s problem with Coulomb?s
friction between a thermo-electro-viscoelasticity body and an electrically
and thermally conductive foundation. The materiel?s behavior is described by
the linear thermo-electro-viscoelastic constitutive laws. The variational
formulation is written as nonlinear quasivariational inequality for the
displacement field, a nonlinear family elliptic variational equations for
the electric potential and a nonlinear parabolic variational equations for
the temperature field. We prove under some assumption existence of a weak
solution to the problem. The thermo-electro-viscoelastic law with a some
temperature parameter ? > 0 is considered. Then we prove its unique solution
as well as the convergence of its solution to the solution of the original
problem as the temperature parameter ? ? 0.

Effects of orthodontic camouflage treatment vs orthodontic-orthognathic surgical treatment on condylar stability in Class II hyperdivergent patients with severe temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis: a retrospective observational study
Authors: Tian Yajing , Mao Bochun , Cui Shengjie , Guo Yanning , Zhao Ningrui , Zhang Yidan , Zhou Yanheng , Wang Xuedong
Published: March 2023

Objectives

To investigate the differences in profile changes and stability of the condyles between orthodontic camouflage treatment assisted by vertical control and that accomplished via orthognathic surgery in Class II hyperdivergent patients with TMJ osteoarthrosis (TMJOA).

Materials and Methods

This study included 27 Class II hyperdivergent TMJOA patients (54 condyles) who received orthodontic camouflage treatment (13 patients) or orthognathic surgery (14 patients) Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans were taken before treatment (T1) and 1 year after treatment (T2). Cephalometric and TMJ measurement analyses were conducted to evaluate the change in profile and condyles from T1 to T2 using independent samples t-test and paired t-test. Three-dimensional (3D) deviation analysis was also performed to evaluate the stability of condyles from T1 to T2.

Results

Both groups showed significant profile improvement from T1 to T2. The changes in Z angle and ANB angle were larger in the surgical group than in the orthodontic group. Condylar width, length, and height remained stable after treatment in the orthodontic group (P > .05), while they reduced by 0.67 ± 0.85 mm, 1.14 ± 1.10 mm, and 1.07 ± 1.34 mm, respectively, in the surgical group (P < .05). Superior, posterior, medial, and lateral joint spaces were significantly reduced in the orthodontic group (P < .05). 3D deviations intuitively showed that condylar bone in the orthodontic group was more stable than that in the surgical group.

Conclusions

For Class II hyperdivergent patients with severe TMJOA, orthodontic camouflage treatment with vertical control can effectively maintain the stability of condyles while significantly improving the profile. Surgical treatment yields a better profile but may increase the risk of condyle resorption.

Scottish Education: Between the UK and the Nordic
Authors: Adams Paul
Published: March 2023

The (re)opening of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 cemented calls for small state self-management, particularly along Nordic lines, both to reflect the desire for independence and belief that small states prosper when aligned with similar jurisdictions. However, whether there is a ‘Nordic education approach’ is questionable. Further, this positioning assumes certain things about Scotland, ‘The Scottish’, and the Scottish education system. Rather than present Scottish education as aligning with Norden, it is better to identify pushes and pulls between northern countries and internal/UK factors. This paper examines educational exigencies: pushes and pulls from the Nordic countries and the UK.

Published: March 2023

Background: Urine chloride has recently been suggested as a biomarker of renal tubule function in patients with nondialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), as low urinary chloride concentration is associated with an increased risk of CKD progression. We investigate the association between urinary chloride excretion and the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods: A total of 1,065 patients with nondialysis CKD were divided into tertiles by spot urine chloride-to-creatinine ratios. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tertiles were defined as low, moderate, and high urinary chloride excretion, respectively. The study outcome was CAC progression, which was defined as an increase in coronary artery calcium score of more than 200 Agatston units during the 4-year follow-up period. Results: Compared to moderate urinary chloride excretion, high urinary chloride excretion was associated with decreased risk of CAC progression (adjusted odds ratio, 0.379; 95% confidence interval, 0.190–0.757), whereas low urinary chloride excretion was not associated with risk of CAC progression. Restricted cubic spine depicted an inverted J-shaped curve, with a significant reduction in the risk of CAC progression in subjects with high spot urine chloride-to-creatinine ratios. Conclusion: High urinary chloride excretion is associated with decreased risk of CAC progression in patients with nondialysis CKD.

Authors: Wahyu Widiantari I Gusti Ayu Putu , Ratnawati Luh Made
Published: March 2023

Introduction:  Rhinosinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses. Acute rhinosinusitis that is not treated properly can progress to chronic rhinosinusitis. Chronic rhinosinusitis can lead to impaired quality of life.  Until now there is no data regarding the relationship of TNSS to the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis based on SNOT-22, therefore researchers want to conduct research on the relationship of TNSS to the quality of life of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis based on SNOT-22.

Methods: This study was a retrospective analytical study with a cross-sectional study design.

Results:  There was a significant relationship with a strong correlation (r=0.724) between TNSS and the quality of life of chronic rhinosinusitis patients.

Conclusion:  There was a significant relationship with a strong correlation (r=0.724) between TNSS and the quality of life of chronic rhinosinusitis patients at Prof. Dr. I.G.N.G Ngoerah General Hospital Denpasar.

Comparison of Naive Bayes Method and Binary Logistics Regression on Classification of Social Assistance Recipients Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH)
Authors: Fanni Rahma Sari  , Fadhilah Fitri  , Atus Amadi Putra  , Dony Permana
Published: March 2023

Population density is one of the causes of economic inequality in society. One of the solutions provided by the government is to distribute social assistance. In 2007 the government created a social assistance program called the “Program Keluarga Harapan” (PKH) with the aim of alleviating poverty. There are several problems in the distribution of social assistance, one of which is receiving aid that is not right on target. Therefore, an appropriate method is needed in classifying the recipients of social assistance properly. This study will use two methods, namely Naive Bayes and Binary Logistic Regression to compare which method is better on the data used. The data used is the DTKS data for PKH assistance recipients in the Anduring Village in 2020. Based on the results obtained, the accuracy of the Naive Bayes method is 70% and Binary Logistic Regression is 73%. So the best method in measuring classification is Binary Logistic Regression.

Taqnīn Method of Qānūn Jināyah and Problems of Its Implementation in Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Sakhowi Sakhowi
Published: March 2023

Since its emergence during the Abbasid period, the idea of taqnīn fiqh (codification of Islamic jurisprudence) has caused controversy. The controversy is getting more complex with the ratification of Aceh Qanun No. 6 of 2014 on Jinayat Law (Islamic criminal law) in Indonesia, which is not an Islamic country. This article aims to analyze the taqnīn method and the problems of implementing the Qānūn Jināyah in Aceh. This article is library research using content analysis. The author found that the Qānūn Jināyah in Aceh, seen from the taqnīn ‘Abd al-Bar method, in terms of its coverage area, is included in the mandatory qaḍā’ (māliyyah, syakhṣiyyah, and jinā’iyyah) namely problems that have the character to be resolved in court. In its source, the Qānūn Jināyah uses the dominant regional school of thought (Syafī’ī’s school) and other schools if there is a benefit, but only as an alternative. In its implementation, the Qānūn Jināyah caused controversy even though Aceh received regional autonomy and the Qānūn Jināyah was under juridical regulations. Its presence is still not accepted by numerous groups, both from within and outside. Enforcement of Qānūn Jināyah, such as caning, is considered a violation of human rights. The Qānūn Jināyah tends to discriminate against women, non-Muslims and the poor. The assessment that the qānūn violates human rights is from a different perspective. In the legal-normative context, the qānūn is legally valid in Indonesia in terms of procedure and substance because it has gone through the correct manufacturing process and has gone through the evaluation stage by the central government.
Reconstruction of Women’s Fiqh: An Analysis of Muhammad Shahrūr’s Contemporary Reading in a Hermeneutic Perspective
Authors: Wathani Syamsul , Ismail Habib , Mughzi Abdillah Akhmad
Published: March 2023

The discourse of women’s fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) on gender issues is still confined to authoritarianism and classical fiqh hegemony, which ignores the existence and changes in contemporary reality. Several contemporary Muslim scholars have responded and attempted to reconstruct the women’s fiqh, including Muhamamd Shahrūr. This article aims to analyze the methodological thinking of Shahrūr’s women’s fiqh in the agency of criticism of fiqh exclusivism and the reconstruction of women’s fiqh into a more comprehensive formulation of fiqh that is under social reality. This article is a literature study using the method of philosophical-hermeneutic analysis and made two of his works, Al-Kitāb wa al-Qur’an: Qirā’ah Mu’āshirah and Nahwa Ushūl Jadīdah li Fiqh al-Islamī: Fiqh al-Mar’ah, as primary data. The writers found that Shahrūr carried a contemporary reading (qirā’ah al-mu’āshirah) by making objective reality (al-wāqī’) the basis for reconstruction in his first work. In his second work, Shahrūr criticizes the mainstream view of Islamic exclusivism in laws relating to women. Based on his two works, the authors argue that the interpretation of contemporary women’s fiqh must be based on reality (rather than texts), scientific and technological advancements, a reconstructive attitude that gives a larger portion of reason and reality, and a new category of the logic of discovery.
The Legal System of the All-You-Can-Eat Ticket System at Tlogo Argo-Tourism, Indonesia: A Maṣlaḥah al-Mursalah Perspective
Authors: Norma Siamtina Desi , Chairul Huda Muhammad , Ma’mun Sukron , Nastangin Nastangin
Published: March 2023

This article analyzes the legal system in the all-you-can-eat ticket system of Tlogo argo-tourism in Central Java, Indonesia. This research is based on recent concerns over the system’s implementation, specifically regarding its lack of clarity (gharar). The study employs a qualitative approach, combining legal-empirical analysis with the legal system theory of Lawrence Friedman and the concept of maṣlaḥah al-mursalah (public interest). The findings show that the all-you-can-eat ticket system in Tlogo argo-tourism has three components required by Lawrence Friedman’s legal system theory: legal structure, legal substance, and legal culture. The legal culture component is crucial in implementing the all-you-can-eat ticket system internally and externally. Moreover, the system also fulfills the three elements of maṣlaḥah al-mursalah: maṣlaḥah ḍaruriyyah (primary public interest), maṣlaḥah ḥajiyyah (tertiary public interest), and maṣlaḥah tahsiniyah (tertiary public interest). Therefore, this study contributes to a wider and more comprehensive view of buying and selling practices from the legal system’s perspective and maṣlaḥah al-mursalah.
Integration of New Media and Prophetic Communiacation Enhanced for Zakah, Infāq, Ṣadaqah, and Waqf Fundraising: A Case Study of Baitulmaal Munzalan Indonesia

Published: March 2023

Recent developments in Islamic philanthropic practices have shifted from traditional to modern ways through the use of information technology. This article seeks to analyze how prophetic communication is integrated by Baitulmaal Munzalan Indonesia (BMI) in its use of new media to enhance Zakah, Infāq, Ṣadaqah, and Waqf (Ziswaf) fundraising. This research uses a qualitative method by conducting field work through primary and secondary data collection. Primary data were collected through observation and interviews with members of the executive board and managers of this institution, while secondary data were obtained by exploring its website and social media. We found that the BMI has been using a number of new media, both online media and social media, to build the trust of the Muslim community in charity. Mellineals are recruited as agents to carry out all of the BMI’s carefully planned programs. Through its social media, the BMI uses prophetic communication by involving several well-known ustadz (preachers) on social media as ambassadors for Ziswaf fundraising. We argue that the transformation of new media that communicate religious messages and are supported by the millennial movement has become an ecosystem for collecting, managing and distributing Ziswaf funds in its latest practice.
Not Eight, But Four: Muhammad Syahrūr’s Reconstruction of Mustaḥiq Zakah’s Classification
Authors: Munir Muhammad Misbahul , Khamim Khamim
Published: March 2023

This article analyzes Muhammad Syahrūr’s thoughts on the mustaḥiq zakah (zakat recipient) classification based on his interpretation of Qur’anic verse QS. al-Taubah [9]: 60. Syahrūr’s perspective is unique because it challenges the classification of mustaḥiq zakah that Islamic jurists have widely accepted. The article uses a literature review with a Gadamer hermeneutic approach. Data was collected through text studies and analyzed using descriptive-analytical techniques. The study found that Syahrūr classified mustaḥiq zakah into four categories: fakīr (poor person), miskīn (needy person), ghārim (the debtor), and ibn sabīl (wayfarer). Using a scientific-historical approach, Syahrūr expanded the meaning of fakīr to include orphans, miskīn to include people with special needs, ghārim to include debts for paying diyah (blood money) for wrongful killing (al-qatl al-khaṭa’), and ibn sabīl, which refers to travelers. Syahrūr’s interpretation of QS. al-Taubah [9]: 60 is a product of his scientific-historical approach, which he developed while in Moscow under the influence of the prevailing logic of the time (episteme), the structuralism of Russian formalism, and his linguistic teacher, Ja’far Dak al-Bāb. Syahrūr’s approach required him to observe the contemporary object’s condition in understanding QS. al-Taubah [9]: 60. The poor conditions in Syria, both internal and external factors, influenced Syahrūr’s interpretation of QS. al-Taubah [9]: 60.
Goats diagnosed with neoplasia display variability in clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes
Authors: Krus Catherine B. , Mullins Caitlyn , Oman Rachel
Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

To describe clinical presentation, treatment, and short- and long-term outcomes of goats diagnosed with neoplasia.

ANIMALS

46 goats with a definitive diagnosis of ≥ 1 neoplastic process admitted over a 15-year period.

PROCEDURES

Medical records for all goats admitted to the Colorado State University Veterinary Teaching Hospital over a 15-year period were reviewed to identify animals diagnosed with neoplasia. Signalment, presenting complaint, duration of clinical signs, diagnostic testing, treatment, and short-term outcomes were recorded. When available, long-term follow-up data were collected via email or telephone interview with owners.

RESULTS

46 goats with 58 neoplasms were identified. The prevalence of neoplasia within the study population was 3.2%. The most commonly diagnosed neoplasms were squamous cell carcinoma, thymoma, and mammary carcinoma. The Saanen breed was the most common breed noted in the study population. Evidence of metastasis was found in 7% of the goats. Long-term follow-up was available in 5 goats with mammary neoplasia that underwent bilateral mastectomy. No evidence of mass regrowth or metastasis was noted in any of the goats 5 to 34 months postoperatively.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Goats are increasingly treated as companion rather than strictly production animals, making it important for veterinarians to provide more evidence-based and advanced clinical care.

Published: March 2023

OBJECTIVE

Evaluate whether general practitioners’ formal small animal (canine and feline) nutrition instruction in veterinary school and the amount and type of continuing education engagement affect perceived self-reported confidence and frequency in discussing nutrition with clients.

SAMPLE

403 small animal veterinarians who responded to an online survey distributed through the American Animal Hospital Association.

PROCEDURES

Veterinarians were surveyed regarding perceived amount of formal instruction received in veterinary school, interest, time committed to self-education, and confidence in both self and staff knowledge in small animal nutrition.

RESULTS

Of those veterinarians who responded to the survey, 57.1% (201/352) reported they received “none” or “very little” formal instruction in small animal nutrition, while 151 of 352 answered “some” or “a significant amount.” Veterinarians with more formal instruction and veterinarians who reported spending more time in self-education had increased confidence in their own nutritional knowledge (P < .01) and that of their staff (P < .01).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Veterinarians with self-reported significant formal instruction and veterinarians with higher continuing education engagement were more confident in their knowledge and their staff’s knowledge regarding therapeutic and nontherapeutic small animal nutrition. Therefore, it is important for the profession to address veterinary nutrition education gaps in order to increase the veterinary healthcare team’s engagement in nutritional discussions with their clients for both healthy and sick pets.
The Use of Public Space During the Epidemic
Authors: Barańska Anna Marta , Eckes Konrad P.
Published: March 2023

At the beginning of this article, it was shown that the indicators of the current so-called social distance determined by decision-makers at various stages of the epidemic development are imprecise, do not sufficiently take into account spatial relations, are unclear in public perception, and do not contain specific practical solutions. Therefore, this study undertakes the task of giving the term “social distancing” precise features, defined on the basis of geometry, and providing solutions in typical cases of the living space of the population. The geometry of the distribution of people in various situations of everyday life was considered: people standing during concerts or religious ceremonies, sitting during meals in collective catering rooms and participating in lectures, cultural, entertainment or sports events. In the latter group of tasks, the concept of building a people-distribution scheme must be adapted to the existing, arbitrary grid of real places of a lecture hall, theater hall, cinema, or stadium. The article contains some practical examples with comments and an evaluation of benefits, both in terms of ensuring safety and in terms of effective use of space.
A Decomposition approach for Assessing Land Leverage and Depreciation Rate on the Real Estate Market – Evidence from Warsaw Poland
Authors: Waszczuk Joanna
Published: March 2023

Most property valuation research concerns entire properties consisting of land and structures. However, different features of land and capital as factors of production determine different patterns shaping their value and their different impact on the total price of real estate. In this article the hedonic decomposition model, which controls for differences in housing quality, is applied to decompose the price of an apartment into the land and structure components. The depreciation rate of housing was calculated and taken into account to properly isolate the dynamics of land over time. This allowed us to compare the house price index with the dynamics of land and structure. The empirical analysis was carried out on the data for the city of Warsaw.
Points of Interest and Housing Prices
Authors: Cellmer Radosław
Published: March 2023

Points of Interest (POI) are an inherent element of the urban landscape, and their number and density reflect, among other things, the degree of urbanization and the city’s spatial structure. The very presence of POI in the closest vicinity of a residential property may indirectly or directly affect housing value. This paper aims to demonstrate the usefulness of POI density information of different categories in assessing the quality of a property’s immediate surroundings. While the mere presence of POIs in the nearest neighborhood may affect real estate prices, the influence of specific categories may not necessarily be positive. Therefore, the study attempted to classify POIs and determine their importance in the price formation process using spatial regression models. The results indicate that a high density of POIs in the immediate area is a stimulant for housing prices. The detailed analysis indicated that only some POI categories might be related to transaction prices, while in certain situations, some POI categories may negatively impact prices.

Published: March 2023

Bismuth substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticle is studied for photocatalytic in this paper.  Bismuth cobalt ferrite has been synthesized by the coprecipitation method and low-temperature annealing treatment. The characterization results showed that the XRD spectral pattern is consistent with ICDD 221086. The crystallite size of bismuth cobalt ferrite increases with increasing annealing temperature. FTIR results confirm the available metal-oxide at number wave around 570/cm and 475/cm which is the appearance of octahedral and tetrahedral sites owing cobalt ferrite. The photocatalyst test was carried out by varying the catalyst mass and UV irradiation time. The absorption spectrum decreases with increasing catalyst mass. The increase in UV irradiation time causes the formation of more holes (h+) and electrons (e-). So that the hydroxide reaction occurs that produces free radicals. The results of this study indicate that cobalt ferrite-based nanoparticles have potential as photocatalyst materials.
Comparative Study of UO2 and (Th,U-233)O2 Performance in Small Long-Life PWR Fuel Cell
Authors: Napirah Mardiana , Su'ud Zaki
Published: March 2023

A study was performed comparing the performance of UO2 and (Th,U-233)O2 fuel in small long-life PWR. The neutronic calculation carried out by PIJ module of SRAC2006 was done to a fuel cell in 10 years of operation. The calculation was conducted by varying the enrichment of U-235 in UO2 and U-233 in (Th,U-233)O2 for 1% - 20% and also by varying the fuel volume fraction for 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, and 60%. The performance was observed by comparing the enrichment needed by each fuel type to gain criticality in 10 years, the infinite multiplication factor (k-inf) value, and the conversion ratio (CR) value. The calculation results showed that 60% fuel volume fraction gave critical conditions with the lowest infinite multiplication factor and highest conversion ratio for both fuel types. While in terms of fissile nuclide enrichment needed, (Th,U-233)O2 had better performance than UO2, because only 5% U-233 was needed in (Th,U-233)O2 while UO2 needed 9% U-235 to gain criticality in 10 years of operation.

Although the printing offset technique offered the best printout quality among other printing techniques, however, there is a drawback of the offset technique which needs great skill to handle the process, i.e the presence of trace water molecules on the image area of the plate. The water’s existence in the image area leads to the poor covering of ink which makes the blurry printout than it must be. Therefore, we used various concentrations of propylene glycol such as 0%, 0.05%, and 0.1% as wetting agents to prevent the trace water sticks to the image area of the plate. We used the HVS paper 80 g/m2 as printing material and the machine of Oliver Sakurai 472 ED to study the role of propylene glycol. Propylene glycol has been considered based on stronger interaction with water molecules than the interaction of the image area - propylene glycol. By investigating the visual quality, density, and dot gain of the printout, we concluded that the wetting agent content of PG 0.05% (v/v) increased the visual brightness, and density of the printout, compared to the water only as the wetting solution.
