Distributed Fiber Optic Vibration Signal Logging Well Production Fluid Profile Interpretation Method Research
Authors: Guo Yanan , Yang Wenming , Dong Xueqiang , Zhang Lei , Zhang Yue , Wang Yi , Yang Bo , Deng Rui
Published: April 2024

Traditional logging methods need a lot of data support such as suction profile information, reservoir geological information, and production information of injection and extraction wells to calculate oil and gas production, which is a tedious and complicated process with low interpretation accuracy. Distributed fiber optic vibration signal logging is a technology that uses fiber optics to sense the vibration signals returned from different formations or well walls to analyze the surrounding formation characteristics or downhole events, which has the advantages of strong real-time monitoring results and high reliability of interpretation results. However, the currently distributed fiber optic vibration signal logging also fails to fully utilize the technical advantages to form a systematic production calculation process. Therefore, this paper proposes to use the K-means++ algorithm to divide the vibration signal frequency bands to represent different downhole events and use the amplitude mean curve envelope area of the reservoir-related frequency bands to calculate the relative production of each production formation. The experimental results correspond well with the relative water absorption data interpreted by conventional production logging, and the accuracy of production interpretation is high, which fills the gap of a production calculation method in the field of distributed fiber optic vibration signal logging in China and strongly promotes the development of the intelligent construction of oil and gas fields.
The Public Role of Religion and the Response of Public Theology
Authors: Kim Seung-Hwan
Published: April 2024

This study discusses theological assertions concerning the public role of religion in post-secular societies. In the context of religion’s renewed emergence in the public sphere, it is being called upon to overcome the beliefs of individual and private realms and actively assume the role of a participant in the common goal of a better society. Religion, in this context, is not confined to the personal sphere but is recognized as a crucial participant in shaping a more desirable societal landscape. Religion holds the potential to renew the spirituality of citizens, foster a sense of belonging, and contribute to the formation of social ethics. In response to these circumstances, Christianity is engaging with a new theological methodology known as public theology, proposing a public role for the church and advocating for the public participation of Christians. This study aims to propose public roles for the church and theology in post-secular societies.
General Baptist Women in Orissa, India: Initiatives in Female Education, 1860s–1880s
Authors: Randall Ian
Published: April 2024

This article looks at the General Baptist mission in Orissa, India, from the 1860s to the 1880s, with particular reference to the way women who served within the mission fulfilled a role in teaching and encouraging girls and women, especially by setting up schooling. The challenges of a time of desperate famine, with many orphans being cared for, are examined. The General Baptist mission worked with other bodies, notably and crucially with the interdenominational Female Education Society. A major aim was that, through the work of the female teachers, local teachers would be equipped. The argument here is that there was integrity in what was performed, and thus, this article offers an alternative to interpretations that dismiss the validity of the mission endeavours. The Orissa mission continued on beyond the 1880s, with wider fellowship eventually happening through the Church of North India. This study does not go beyond the 1880s as that would introduce a new phase with the amalgamation in 1891 of the General and Particular Baptists and their overseas missionary societies.

Authors: Yan Pengcheng , Liang Jiarui , Tian Xiaolin , Zhai Yikui
Published: April 2024

Lineament is a unique geological structure. The study of Lunar lineament structure has great significance on understanding its history and evolution of Lunar surface. However, the existing geographic feature extraction methods are not suitable for the extraction of Lunar lineament structure. In this paper, a new lineament extraction method is proposed based on improved-UNet++ and YOLOv5. Firstly, new lineament dataset is created containing lineaments structure based on CCD data from LROC. At same time the residual blocks are replaced with the VGG blocks in the down sample part of the UNet++ with adding the attention block between each layer. Secondly, the improved-UNet++ and YOLO networks are trained to execute the object detection and semantic segmentation of lineament structure respectively. Finally, a polygon-match strategy is proposed to combine the results of object detection and semantic segmentation. The experiment result indicate that this new method has relatively better and more stable performance compared with current mainstream networks and the original UNet++ network in the instance segmentation of lineament structure. Additionally, the polygon-match strategy is able to perform preciser edge detail in the instance segmentation of lineament structure result.

Published: April 2024

The study explores the feasibility of adapting the EOStat crop monitoring system, originally designed for monitoring crop growth conditions in Poland, to fulfill the requirements of a similar system in Ukraine. The system utilizes satellite data and agrometeorological information provided by the Copernicus program, which offers these resources free of charge. To predict crop yields, the system uses several factors, such as vegetation condition indices obtained from Sentinel-3 Ocean and Land Color Instrument (OLCI) optical and Sea and Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR). It also incorporates climate information, including air temperature, total precipitation, surface radiation, and soil moisture. To identify the best predictors for each administrative unit, the study utilizes a recursive feature elimination method and employs the Extreme Gradient Boosting regressor, a machine learning algorithm, to forecast crop yields. The analysis indicates a noticeable decrease in crop losses in 2022 in certain regions of Ukraine, compared to the previous year (2021) and the 5-year average (2017–2021), specifically for winter crops and maize. Considering the reduction in yield, it is estimated that the decline in production of winter crops in 2022 was up to 20%, while for maize, it was up to 50% compared to the decline in production.
Correlations of Aerobic Capacity with External and Internal Load of Young Football Players during Small-Sided Games
Authors: Michailidis Yiannis
Published: April 2024

Aerobic capacity plays a crucial role in football performance, making it a focal point in training processes. Small-sided games (SSGs) are widely used in football training, but the relationship between aerobic capacity and running performance during SSGs remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate possible correlations between maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) and running performance in youth football players in SSGs (4:4, 3:3, 2:2, 1:1) with three different pitch sizes per player (150, 100, 75 m2/player). Sixteen male U15 football players participated in the study. Players underwent the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1, and their VO2max was estimated based on their performance. Subsequently, players participated in SSGs wearing GPS devices to measure internal and external load. Pearson or Spearman correlation was applied for statistical analysis depending on the normal distribution of the data. The results reveal that, for 4:4 and 3:3 relationships, larger pitches led to a greater impact of aerobic capacity (total distance (TD): 4:4, 150 m2/pl, r = 0.715, p = 0.002; 100 m2/pl, r = 0.656, p = 0.006; 75 m2/pl, r = 0.586, p = 0.017). In the 2:2 relationship, the opposite was observed, with more correlations appearing on smaller pitches (TD: 2:2, 100 m2/pl, r = 0.581, p = 0.018; 75 m2/pl, r = 0.747, p < 0.001). In the 1:1 relationship, correlations with VO2max, total distance, and speed were observed only on the larger pitch. In conclusion, the aerobic capacity of young football players can influence running performance indicators in SSGs. Therefore, aerobic capacity could serve as a criterion for team composition, making SSGs more competitive. Additionally, the variation in correlations in the 2:2 relationship and their limited presence in the 1:1 relationship may be attributed to technical–tactical factors, such as increased ball contacts and one-on-one situations typically occurring in smaller setups.
Review, Properties, and Synthesis of Single-Switch Non-Isolated DC-DC Converters with a Wide Conversion Range
Authors: Tofoli Fernando Lessa , Carlos Thaís Martins Jajah , Morais Aniel Silva
Published: April 2024

The cascaded connection of power converters extends conversion ranges but requires careful consideration due to high component count and efficiency concerns, as power is processed redundantly. Furthermore, using several active switches that must be turned on simultaneously may introduce significant drive and control complexity. To overcome this limitation, single-switch quadratic DC-DC converters have been proposed in the literature as a prominent choice for various applications, such as light-emitting diode (LED) drivers. Nevertheless, the motivation behind the conception of such topologies, beyond extending the conversion ratio, remains unclear. Another unexplored issue is the possibility of obtaining single-switch versions of cascaded converters consisting of multiple stages. In this context, this work investigates the synthesis of single-switch non-isolated DC-DC converters for achieving high step-down and/or high step-up based on the graft scheme. Key issues such as the voltage gain, additional stresses on the active switches, component count, and behavior of the input current and output stage current are addressed in detail. An in-depth discussion is presented to identify potential advantages and shortcomings of the resulting structures.
Colorimetric Determination of Salivary Cortisol Levels in Artificial Saliva for the Development of a Portable Colorimetric Sensor (Salitrack)
Authors: Ahmed Tashfia , Powner Michael B. , Qassem Meha , Kyriacou Panayiotis A.
Published: April 2024

Mental illnesses, such as clinical depression, have taken an unprecedented toll on society and the economy on a global scale. The relationship between stress management and mental health decline is of utmost significance, especially as most avenues of mental health management remain inaccessible for the majority of the general public, i.e., interview-based, and face-to-face interventions or costly drug-based therapies. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone, regulates the stress response in the human body and, through persistent activation, can lead to chronic stress and mental health deterioration. Thereby, the measurement and evaluation of cortisol within saliva could harness potential developments in management and diagnostic tools to monitor physiological and psychological stress in simple point-of-care applications. The current study aims to determine the concentration of salivary cortisol in spiked artificial saliva samples using blue tetrazolium (BT) dye as a colorimetric indicator. The proposed method showcases the use of the BT dye as an effective method for the rapid measurement of salivary cortisol, with accuracy comparable to the gold-standard method for salivary cortisol analysis, enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELISAs). Finally, a prototype colorimetric sensor has been developed for point-of-care applications of stress monitoring via salivary cortisol measurement.
Performance Analysis of Deep Learning Model-Compression Techniques for Audio Classification on Edge Devices
Authors: Mou Afsana , Milanova Mariofanna
Published: April 2024

Audio classification using deep learning models, which is essential for applications like voice assistants and music analysis, faces challenges when deployed on edge devices due to their limited computational resources and memory. Achieving a balance between performance, efficiency, and accuracy is a significant obstacle to optimizing these models for such constrained environments. In this investigation, we evaluate diverse deep learning architectures, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), for audio classification tasks on the ESC 50, UrbanSound8k, and Audio Set datasets. Our empirical findings indicate that Mel spectrograms outperform raw audio data, attributing this enhancement to their synergistic alignment with advanced image classification algorithms and their congruence with human auditory perception. To address the constraints of model size, we apply model-compression techniques, notably magnitude pruning, Taylor pruning, and 8-bit quantization. The research demonstrates that a hybrid pruned model achieves a commendable accuracy rate of 89 percent, which, although marginally lower than the 92 percent accuracy of the uncompressed CNN, strikingly illustrates an equilibrium between efficiency and performance. Subsequently, we deploy the optimized model on the Raspberry Pi 4 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano platforms for audio classification tasks. These findings highlight the significant potential of model-compression strategies in enabling effective deep learning applications on resource-limited devices, with minimal compromise on accuracy.
Reflecting Regional Conditions in Circular Bioeconomy Scenarios: A Multi-Criteria Approach for Matching Technologies and Regions
Authors: Güldemund Almut , Zeller Vanessa
Published: April 2024

The Circular Bioeconomy (CBE) combines the concepts of bioeconomy and a circular economy. As an alternative concept to the current fossil-based, linear economy, it describes an economy based on the efficient valorization of biomass. It is regional in nature and aims to improve sustainability. An analysis of the transition process, by identifying its success criteria and assessing its impacts through the modeling of technology-specific scenarios, is necessary to ensure that CBE concepts are sustainable. However, a comprehensive consideration of regional influences on both is lacking. Based on extensive literature research and an expert survey, we develop a multi-criteria approach where we (i) present a comprehensive catalog of CBE success criteria and discuss their region-specific characters and (ii) develop a methodology based on evaluation matrices that enable CBE technologies to be matched with regions. The matrices support the evaluation of technological and regional characteristics influencing successful CBE implementation. The results show that the success criteria “biomass resources”, “technological”, and “social” are perceived as highly important, and that most of the success criteria are both region- and technology-specific, highlighting the relevance of developing matrices to match them. We describe such matrices indicatively for the two broadest and most important success criteria clusters “social acceptance” and “biomass supply chain”. With this, we substantiate the regional nature of CBE and raise the awareness on the importance of considering regional conditions in CBE transition processes. Furthermore, we provide practical guidance on how regional conditions can be reflected in the selection of technologies, e.g., in regional CBE technology scenarios.
A Synergistic Optimization Algorithm with Attribute and Instance Weighting Approach for Effective Drought Prediction in Tamil Nadu
Authors: Sundararajan Karpagam , Srinivasan Kathiravan
Published: April 2024

The creation of frameworks for lowering natural hazards is a sustainable development goal specified by the United Nations. This study aims to predict drought occurrence in Tamil Nadu, India, using 26 years of data, with only 3 drought years. Since the drought-occurrence years are minimal, it is an imbalanced dataset, which gives a suboptimal classification performance. The accuracy metric has a tendency to produce misleadingly high results by focusing on the accuracy of forecasting the majority class while ignoring the minority class; hence, this work considers the metrics’ precision and recall. A novel strategy uses attribute (or instance) weighting, which allots weights to attributes (or instances) based on their importance, to improve precision and recall. These weights are found using a bio-inspired optimization algorithm, by designing its fitness function to improve precision and recall of the minority (drought) class. Since increasing precision and recall is a tug-of-war, multi-objective optimization helps to identify optimal attribute (or instance) weight balancing precision and recall while maximizing both. The newly introduced Synergistic Optimization Algorithm (SOA) is utilized for multi-objective optimization in order to ascertain weights for attributes (or instances). In SOA, to solve multi-objective optimization, each objective’s population was generated using three distinct algorithms, namely, the Genetic, Firefly, and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithms. The experimental results demonstrated that the prediction performance for the minority drought class was superior when utilizing instance (or attribute) weighting compared to the approach not employing attribute/instance weighting. The Gradient Boosting classifier with an attribute-weighted dataset achieved precision and recall values of 0.92 and 0.79, whereas, with instance weighting, the values were 0.9 and 0.76 for the drought class. The attribute weighting shows that in addition to the default drought indices SPI and SPEI, pollution factors and mean sea level rise are valuable indicators in drought prediction. From instance weighting, it is inferred that the instances of the months of March, April, July, and August contribute most to drought prediction.

Authors: Ao Yunjin , Liu Yong-Chao , Laghrouche Salah , Candusso Denis
Published: April 2024

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stands at the forefront of advancing energy sustainability. Effective monitoring, control, diagnosis, and prognosis are crucial for optimizing the PEMFC system’s sustainability, necessitating a dynamic model that can capture the transient response of the PEMFC. This paper uses a dynamic fractional-order model to describe the behaviors of a stationary micro combined heat and power (mCHP) PEMFC stack. Based on the fractional-order equivalent circuit model, the applied model accurately represents the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the dynamic voltage response under transient conditions. The applied model is validated through experiments on an mCHP PEMFC stack under various fault conditions. The EIS data is analyzed under different current densities and various fault conditions, including the stoichiometry of the anode and cathode, the stack temperature, and the relative humidity. The dynamic voltage response of the applied model shows good correspondence with experimental results in both phase and amplitude, thereby affirming the method’s precision and solidifying its role as a reliable tool for enhancing the sustainability and operational efficiency of PEMFC systems.

Authors: Shahzadi Fakhara , Haydar Sajjad , Tabraiz Shamas
Published: April 2024

Plant-based natural coagulants are considered potential alternatives to chemical coagulants. These are eco-friendly, non-toxic, and produce less sludge compared to chemical coagulants. This study aims to evaluate the coagulation potential of a novel plant-based coagulant Sorghum for canal water treatment. In addition, a coagulant aid, i.e., Aloe Vera, was also tested to examine any further increase in turbidity removal through a jar test apparatus. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the coagulants. The experiment was designed using response surface methodology (RSM). When used alone, Sorghum resulted in a maximum turbidity removal of 87.73% at pH 2 and a dose of 40 mg/L, while the combination of Sorghum and Aloe Vera resulted in a turbidity removal of 84.2% at pH 2.7, and the doses of Sorghum and Aloe Vera were 17.1 mg/L and 0.9% (v/v), respectively. Thus, the Sorghum dose was significantly reduced when Aloe Vera was used in combination. At a pH of 7, Sorghum achieved 54% turbidity removal at a dose of 55.7 mg/L. Analyses of variance revealed that pH plays a more vital role in the removal of turbidity than the coagulant dose. FTIR and SEM analyses revealed that adsorption is the dominant coagulation mechanism for plant-based coagulants. The Sorghum powder exhibited carboxylic, amine, and carbonyl groups that functioned as active adsorption sites for suspended solids. In a similar vein, the coagulant aid Aloe Vera gel facilitated the adsorption process by fostering intermolecular hydrogen bonding between suspended particles and amine groups present within the gel.

Published: April 2024

This paper is dedicated to the memory of the esteemed Serbian mathematician Slaviša B. Prešić (1933–2008). The primary aim of this survey paper is to compile articles on Prešić-type mappings published since 1965. Additionally, it introduces a novel class of symmetric contractions known as Prešić–Menger and Prešić–Ćirić–Menger contractions, thereby enriching the literature on Prešić-type mappings. The paper endeavors to furnish young researchers with a comprehensive resource in functional and nonlinear analysis. The relevance of Prešić’s method, which generalizes Banach’s theorem from 1922, remains significant in metric fixed point theory, as evidenced by recent publications. The overview article addresses the growing importance of Prešić’s approach, coupled with new ideas, reflecting the ongoing advancements in the field. Additionally, the paper establishes the existence and uniqueness of fixed points in Menger spaces, contributing to the filling of gaps in the existing literature on Prešić’s works while providing valuable insights into this specialized domain.

Published: April 2024

The required energy savings can be achieved in all automotive domains through weight savings and the merging of manufacturing processes in production. This fact is taken into account through functional integration in lightweight materials and manufacturing in a process close to large-scale production. In previous work, separate steps of a process chain for manufacturing a center console cover utilizing a sensoric hybrid laminate have been developed and evaluated. This includes the process steps of joining, forming and inline polarization as well as connecting to an embedded system. This work continues the research process by evaluating impact localization methods to use the center console as a haptic input device. For this purpose, different deep learning methods are derived from the state of the art and analyzed for their applicability in two consecutive studies. The results show that MLPs, LSTMs, GRUs and CNNs are suitable to localize impacts on the novel laminate with high localization rates of up to 99%, and thus the usability of the developed laminate as a haptic input device has been proven.
Deformation Monitoring and Potential Risk Detection of In-Construction Dams Utilizing SBAS-InSAR Technology—A Case Study on the Datengxia Water Conservancy Hub
Authors: Ouyang Yi , Feng Tao , Feng Han , Wang Xinghan , Zhang Huayu , Zhou Xiaoxue
Published: April 2024

Deformation monitoring plays a pivotal role in assessing dam safety. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has the advantage of obtaining an extensive range of deformation, regardless of weather conditions. The Datengxia Water Conservancy Hub is the largest in-construction dam in China. To effectively assess the in-construction dam safety, the SBAS-InSAR (Small Baseline Subset-InSAR) technique and 86 Sentinel-1 images (from 11 February 2020, to 16 January 2023) have been employed in this study to monitor the deformation over the reservoir and its surrounding areas. The reliability of the SBAS-InSAR monitoring results over the study area was demonstrated by the in situ monitoring results. And the InSAR results show that the central section of the left dam exhibits the most substantial cumulative deformation, attributed to the maximal water pressure. This is closely followed by the left end of the dam, which reflects a similar but smaller deformation. However, the in-construction cofferdam facilities make the right-end section of the left dam more robust, and the deformation is the most stable. Additionally, significant deformation of the auxiliary dam slope has been identified. Moreover, the analysis indicated that the deformation of the four upstream slopes is closely related to the precipitation, which potentially poses a threat to the safety of the Datengxia Dam.

Hipertrigliceridemia - epidemiologia, fisiopatologia e manejo terapêutico
Authors: Lima Rafael Castione de Paula Silva , Silveira Emanuela Pontes Pereira , Guimarães Marina Santos Moreira , Alvim André Linhares , Oliveira Julia Schreiber Melo de
Published: April 2024

A hipertrigliceridemia (HTG) é uma condição comum caracterizada por níveis elevados de triglicerídeos plasmáticos, transportados em lipoproteínas como quilomícrons, VLDL e remanescentes. A prevalência da HTG varia de acordo com sua gravidade, sendo mais comum em homens e aumentando com a idade. Fatores não genéticos, como resistência à insulina e condições médicas específicas, contribuem para seu desenvolvimento. Medicamentos como betabloqueadores, estrogênios orais e antipsicóticos podem induzir a HTG. Embora possa ter origem genética, a HTG geralmente é secundária a fatores como síndrome metabólica, obesidade, medicamentos e diabetes tipo 2, aumentando o risco de pancreatite aguda e doença cardiovascular. Estudos recentes destacam a associação entre genes ligados à HTG e doenças cardiovasculares. Seu diagnóstico é feito por meio de dosagem de TG em jejum, mas é importante considerar também fatores pós-prandiais. A HTG resulta do desequilíbrio na produção e remoção de lipoproteínas ricas em TG, podendo ser de origem genética ou relacionada a condições médicas, uso de medicamentos e dieta. O manejo inclui modificações no estilo de vida, como dieta e exercícios, e tratamento farmacológico, com fibratos, ácidos graxos ômega 3 e inibidores de PCSK9. A meta do tratamento é reduzir os riscos cardiovasculares, com foco na redução do LDL-C. Recomenda-se uma abordagem individualizada, considerando a gravidade da HTG e os fatores de risco adicionais do paciente. Em casos graves, como triglicerídeos acima de 1000 mg/dl, medidas intensivas são necessárias, incluindo dieta restrita e uso de múltiplos medicamentos.

The aim of this article is to analyze the environmental disclosures of non-financial information presented in the selected Polish banks in terms of meeting the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) guidelines. The ESRS reporting standards, adopted by the European Commission in July 2023, not only introduced an increase in the scope of reporting but also clearly defined the information to be disclosed in reports that banks are obligated to submit. The research method used was a critical analysis of the subject-matter literature, and, in the empirical part, a method of analyzing information posted on bank websites was assumed. Among the analyzed entities, 23 banks operating in Poland, functioning in the form of joint-stock companies, were taken into consideration. Research has shown that the required data is contained in various documents published by banks, and their availability on websites is relatively low. The scope of environmental disclosures was assessed as insufficient in relation to the ESRS guidelines. The highest number of disclosures occurred in the “Climate” area and the lowest in the “Biodiversity and Ecosystems” area, which may stem from the specificity of the banks' activities. The conducted research revealed that banks were inadequately prepared for reporting that takes into account ESRS guidelines.
Changes in Geographical Proximity Between Generations According to Children's Relationships and Inheritance Bequest Expectations: Comparison Between Elderly Households Living Alone and Not Living Alone

This study examined the impact of children's relationships, inheritance expectations, and geographic proximity between elderly parents and adult children in the context of care. We used KLoSA data from 2012 to 2020 for nonresident elderly households aged 65 or older with children. Results reveal that the residential adjustment factor for living close to children is expected to increase for older parents who require care support due to deteriorating health, have available resources such as the number of surviving children or daughters, live in major cities, and have relatively low relocation costs. In single-elderly households, the proximity of both sons and daughters increased, and expectations of inheritance bequest played a significant role. Meanwhile, this suggests that elderly parents who have resources for their children and meet more than once a week are less likely to want to relocate. Finally, the increased living proximity between elderly parents and adult children could be the result of a residential adjustment process to be closer to children where the need for elderly care is high but not available or not living close enough to their children.

ABSTRAKPermintaan jagung di Indonesia terus meningkat tiap tahunnya, akan tetapi kondisi tersebut tidak diimbangi dengan peningkatan produktivitas jagung dalam negeri. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk memaksimalkan produktivitas tanaman jagung dengan memahami informasi mengenai karakteristik kimia tanah  di lahan perkebunan jagung. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan karakteristik kimia tanah produktivitas tanaman jagung. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada November 2022 – Maret 2023 di Kecamatan Cibugel, Kabupaten Sumedang dan Analisis laboratorium di lakukan di Laboratorium KTNT Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Padjadjaran. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif, survei dan prediktif pada 18 sampel tanah. Wilayah pengambilan sampel tanah didapat dari uji analisis dan overlay dari satuan lahan berupa elevasi, kemiringan, iklim, dan area produksi jagung. Perkebunan jagung berada pada area dengan kemiringan 10°- 30° dan ketinggian berkisar di 600 – 1000 mdpl. Hasil analisis penelitian menggunakan metode korelasi karakteristik kimia tanah (KTK, C-organik, pH) dengan produktivitas tanaman jagung. Hasil korelasi menunjukan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang lemah antara karakteristik kimia dengan produktivitas tanaman jagung di Kecamatan Cibugel. Hasil uji analisi korelasi terhadap karakteristik kimia tanah menunjukan bahwa pH, C-organik dan KTK memiliki hubungan yang lemah terhadap produktivitas tanaman jagung dengan masing-masing nilai korelasi r = 0,26tn, r = 0,43tn, dan r =0,24tn.Kata Kunci: pH; KTK;  C-Organik

La Colección de Entomología del Museo de Historia Natural de la Universidad del Cauca - MHNUC, Colombia, alberga una considerable cantidad de ejemplares pertenecientes a diversos órdenes de insectos, entre los cuales destaca el orden Lepidoptera. Los lepidópteros son un grupo megadiverso, considerado uno de los más llamativos e importantes a nivel mundial, y Colombia es uno de los países que cuenta con mayor diversidad de este taxón. Teniendo en cuenta el potencial de las colecciones y la necesidad de organizar y poner a disposición la información sobre los lepidópteros, se realizó la revisión, organización y clasificación de los ejemplares de la subfamilia Dismorphiinae de la Colección de Entomología del MHNUC. Se encontraron 161 ejemplares de cuatro géneros, 14 especies y 18 subespecies pertenecientes a esta subfamilia de Pieridae, a partir de los cuales se realizaron análisis sobre abundancia, distribución geográfica y salud de la colección. El análisis de la calidad del inventario estableció una riqueza potencial para el departamento del Cauca de 21 especies, una pendiente de la curva de 0,12, y una proporción de especies observadas del 40,44%, que corresponde a un esfuerzo de muestreo estimado del 60,95%. Estos datos indican que el inventario no es totalmente aceptable, y que se requiere un mayor esfuerzo de muestreo para conocer los Dismorphiinae de la región suroccidental del país.
