Policy Model Reconstruction of Social Forestry
Authors: Wartiningsih Wartiningsih , Nuswardani Nunuk
Published: September 2021

Internationally, there has been a paradigm shift in forest resource management from state-based forest management to community-based forest management. This change has also occurred in Indonesia, namely through the social forestry program as outlined in the the Minister Regulation on Social Forestry and the Minister Regulation on Social Forestry in Perhutani Area. Indeed, these Ministerial Regulations already contain the principles of community-based forest management. However, the implementation still leaves problems. This paper will analyze the procedural weaknesses and inaccuracies in the designation of these Ministerial Regulations. The approach used is the statutory approach and comparison with qualitative analysis. The result shows that it is necessary to change the policy model by changing procedures by re-functioning the role of Forest Management Units as an institution that has the authority to manage forest resources in its area. Besides, the Social Forestry program should only be intended for forest communities who have pioneered forest resource management, whether they have joined the Community Joint Forest Management program or not. However, they must reside around forests managed by Perum Perhutani.
Resolving Office Establishment Dispute in Nigeria through Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism: An Evolving Regime
Authors: Adeuti Bosede Remilekun
Published: September 2021

This paper examines contemporary issues in Office Establishment Dispute Resolution Mechanism in Nigeria. It explores strategic ways of resolving such office establishment dispute which has remained an intractable problem in Nigeria. The objective is to examine litigation challenges in settlement of this office dispute in Nigeria and other developing countries. This paper argues that adopting Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism in Office Establishment Dispute is not only a programmatic goal to be attained in the long term but rather an immediate obligation that is preferable to litigation in the court of law. The doctrinal research methodology will be used to examine the challenges in resolving office establishment dispute through alternative dispute resolution Mechanisms. This paper adopts an analytical and qualitative approach and builds its argument on existing literature works, which are achieved by synthesising ideas. Recommendations and suggestions are made based on research findings.  This paper concludes that the era of jettisoning or sacrificing Alternative Dispute Resolution on the altar of inapplicability in resolving office establishment dispute is gone and the need to move with time with the practise which has been in existence in developed countries for decades.

Authors: ADEKE Paul Terkumbur , KANYI Ianna , OLAWUYİ Maryam
Published: September 2021

Following the continuous deterioration of flexible road pavements on Federal Highways in Northern Nigeria, which in some quarters is attributed to poor structural capacity of the subgrade soil or design and workmanship; this study examined the relationship between the instantaneous surface condition of flexible road pavement and the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) values of the corresponding subgrade soils. An investigation of road surface condition was carried out on 60 km length of the Zaria – Kaduna Federal Highway in Northern Nigeria. Experimental results on the mechanical properties of the corresponding subgrade soils of road segments measured at Chainages were obtained from the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing (FMPWH). The primary data used by the study were measured as quantities of surface area distresses along the site which included; cracks, potholes, rutting and edge failure, while secondary data from the FMPWH database included; natural moisture content, maximum dry density, specific gravity, liquid limit, plastic limit, liquidity index, optimum moisture content, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), percent of soil particles passing #200 sieve and AASHTO classification of the subgrade soil. A Pearson correlation analysis between the road pavement surface condition and the CBR value of the subgrade soil at 95% Confidence Level using a 1-tailed statistics for the test hypothesis revealed that, there was no dependency between the pavement surface condition and the corresponding CBR property of the subgrade soil.
Opinion Versus Reality: How Should Wrongfully Convicted Individuals be Compensated Versus How They Are Actually Compensated
Authors: Shifton Jeremy
Published: September 2021

Securing compensation following exoneration is an important step for wrongfully convicted individuals in getting some semblance of a normal life post-release. This study seeks to determine what the public believes to be fair compensation for individuals who were wrongfully incarcerated for ten years prior to exoneration, as compared to how much compensation a state would offer the same exoneree. Prior research has tracked what compensation is offered to exonerees through state statutes and detailed difficulties in securing compensation at trial, yet little is known about how statutory compensation compares to what the public believes exonerees should receive. Through two experimental surveys, the current study surveys over 200 students and online respondents to determine how much compensation is fair to individuals, and compares these amounts to what states give to qualifying exonerees. Results indicate that individuals give more compensation on average to a fictional exoneree than do state governments; though the dollar amounts were not statistically significantly different, respondents gave millions more to exonerees than did state statutes. The significance of these findings and avenues for future research are examined.

KAJIAN KETAHANAN PANGAN RUMAHTANGGA PETANI PASCA GEMPA BUMI DI KECAMATAN KAYANGAN KABUPATEN LOMBOK UTARA
Authors: Nurjannah Siti , Syarifuddin Syarifuddin
Published: September 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi ketahanan pangan rumahtangga petani terdampak gempa bumi. Penelitian ini juga mengamati strategi adaptasi rumahtangga petani dalam mengatasi situasi kerawanan pangan yang dialaminya. Akhir dari tujuan kajian ini adalah adanya rekomendasi pola intervensi yang perlu dilakukan oleh stakeholder agar tercapai ketahanan pangan rumahtangga petani.

Penelitian ini telah dilaksanakan di Kecamatan Kayangan Kabupaten Lombok Utara di 3 (tiga) desa yang terparah akibat gempa bumi dengan menggunakan metode riset eksploratif. Data dikumpulkan melalui metode survei (indepth interview, observasi dan FGD). Untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian dilakukan analisis persamaan  Ketahanan Pangan (KP), Angka Kecukupan Energi (AKE), dan Pangsa Pengeluaran Pangan (PPP)  serta analisis tabel untuk menunjukkan keragaan ketahanan pangan. Untuk menentukan faktor-faktor determinan yang mempengaruhi ketahanan pangan rumah tangga digunakan analisis regresi logistik.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan distribusi rumah tangga petani menurut AKE sebagian besar  tidak tahan pangan (51,43%) tetapi reratanya sudah tahan pangan (75,77% dari NKE), berarti terdapat disparitas kecukupan energi antar rumah tangga petani yang cukup tinggi. Berdasarkan analisis Pangsa Pengeluaran Pangan (PPP) teridentifikasi sebanyak 62,86 persen rumahtangga petani tergolong tidak tahan pangan dengan distribusi pada kriteria rumahtangga  (rawan pangan sebesar 34,29 persen; kurang pangan sebesar 17,14 persen dan 11,43 persen tergolong rentan pangan), sedangkan rumahtangga tahan pangan sebesar 37,14 persen.  Status gizi balita sebagian besar tergolong gizi baik yakni sebesar 70,83 persen, balita dengan status gizi kurang sebanyak 20,83% dan balita dengan status gizi lebih sebanyak 8,33%. Hasil analisis regresi logistik menunjukkan bahwa faktor determinan yang berpengaruh terhadap ketahanan pangan rumahtangga petani adalah: pengetahuan pangan dan gizi, ketersediaan pangan, dan pengeluaran pangan.

Direkomendasikan bahwa diperlukan: a) Proses edukasi  tentang  pola konsumsi pangan yang beragam dan berkualitas (gizi seimbang), b) Perlu dilakukan diversifikasi sumber penghidupan untuk mencukupi kebutuhan pangan dan non pangan dengan mengembangkan potensi sumberdaya alam seperti memaksimalkan pemanfaatan sumber air untuk mendukung kegiatan pertanian lahan kering, c) Melibatkan masyarakat khususnya petani dalam pelaksanaan proyek padat karya maupun pembangunan kembali sarana dan prasarana yang rusak akibat gempa bumi, d) Menumbuhkan wira usaha baru dikalangan pemuda berdasarkan pada potensi usaha yang bisa dikembangkan berdasarkan pada kearifan lokal.

Authors: A. Hamdan Suhad , M. Ali Iftikhar , M.Ibrahim Isam
Published: September 2021

The gas sensing properties of undoped Co3O4 and doped with Y2O3 nanostructures were investigated. The films were synthesized using the hydrothermal method on a seeded layer. The XRD, SEM analysis and gas sensing properties were investigated for the prepared thin films. XRD analysis showed that all films were polycrystalline, of a cubic structure with crystallite size of (12.6) nm for cobalt oxide and (12.3) nm for the Co3O4:6% Y2O3. The SEM analysis of thin films indicated that all films undoped Co3O4 and doped possessed a nanosphere-like structure.

The sensitivity, response time and recovery time to H2S reducing and NO2 oxidizing gases were tested at different operating temperatures. The resistance changed with exposure to the test gas. The results revealed that the Co3O4:6%Y2O3 possessed the highest sensitivity around 90% (at room temperature) and 62.5% (at 150 oC) when exposed to the reducing gas H2S and oxidizing gas NO2, respectively with 0.8sec for both recovery and response times.

Authors: Paiva Wilson Alves de
Published: September 2021

A fictional book with five short stories that address the main pandemics in the world. The first story takes place in Ancient Greece, in 428 BC at the time of the Peloponnesian War. Tavros, the main character flees the plague by traveling to Gaul and discovers a mysterious water spring near the village of the Parisii. In AD 166, when Rome, is devasted by the plague, Marcus Aurelius sends out soldiers to the North. One of them, Lucius, arrives in the region of Lutecia and finds the same fountain that Tavros had been to. The water from this spring gives him strength to escape from the persecution of Christians and Jews. In his old age, Lucius becomes a Church elder and writes letters. One of them was read, many centuries later, by a Franciscan Parisian monk during the Middle Ages, who decides to pilgrimage to Jerusalem but is surprised by the Black Death. Back home, he is saved by the water spring, builds an orphanage and has his life converted into a book - which is red by a young journalist who takes the ship Demerara with his fiancée to Brazil in order to avoid the World War I, the Spanish flu and some Russian spies. The last story is about a Brazilian professor, called Lucius Felipe who, in 2019, travels to Paris to develop his postdoctoral studies. Unfortunately he has to return to Brazil due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But not before having visited Lutetia’s fountain and felt its power and the memories it holds.

Abstract:

The present study revealed the chromium toxicity and its health measures in L. rohita from the Yamuna river at Mathura- Agra region. Samples were taken in triplicate from both sites i.e. Vrindavan (Bihar ghat) and Agra (Renuka Ghat). The study was carried out on Four different organs (i.e. gills, muscles, liver, and kidney) of the fish sample. The sampling was done from Oct 2018 to January 2020. Chromium concentration in different organs of the fish was analyzed by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer(AAS). The average Cr concentration in gills was highest (9.64  mg/l) at the Mathura site followed byAgra sites (7.78 mg/l) for the month of April 2019. The concentration of Cr was highest in samples taken in the month of April 2019 and it was lowest in October 2018. The significantly high Cr concentration values were observed in the Mathura region than the Agra region for both seasons. In all samples, Cr concentration was above the standards stated by WHO except in the Kidney. In the present study, the bioaccumulation factor showed the chromium concentration in the tissues followed the order of gill > liver > muscle > kidney. HPI, MQI, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis were also done in which HPI was observed very high and there was a positive correlation between all the samples.

A review on the important phytochemicals and their role in psoriasis
Authors: Pandey Ashish , Shukla Alok Kumar , Dubey Ramesh Chandra , Pratap Ravi
Published: September 2021

Psoriasis may emerge at any stage of life irrespective of age, sex or geographic location. It is identified as a chronic immune-linked inflammatory skin disease that affects all human races. Psoriasis is often more Caucasian than non-Caucasian groups of human races and in geographic areas, like higher latitudes and Western countries. Therefore, attention should be paid to both genetic and environmental causes of psoriasis. Natural products have significantly contributed and encouraged the advances in skin disease treatment like psoriasis. The maximum number of phytochemicals is now being used worldwide, including various plants, herbs, and formulations. In addition, some phytochemicals like psoralen, aloe-emodin, curcumin etc. have also been isolated in pure form and have also shown their efficacy in the management of psoriasis. The presence of such phytochemicals confirms the effectiveness of few herbal therapies. This paper reviews some of the promising phytochemicals and their potential molecular target sites and mechanism of action, which may aid in designing and producing more precise and selective antipsoriatic agents. Exploring and recognizing phytochemicals as to how they function will facilitate more site-specific delivery methods for psoriasis care.

Published: September 2021

Ferulic acid is an abundant phytophenolic compound present in plant cell wall. Ferulic acid possess anticancer, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties. A simple, sensitive and reproducible spectrophotometric method has been developed for quantitative estimation of ferulic acid from selected plant materials such as rice bran, wheat bran and bamboo shoot. The blue coloured chromogen obtained after the reaction was measured at wavelength of  718 nm for ferulic acid against the blank reagent. The chromogen obeyed linearity over the range of 1?g/ml - 8?g/ml. An HPLC method was also developed for the estimation of ferulic acid from selected plant materials.

Authors: Ramesh Sumathi , Gopalsamy Sriram
Published: September 2021

Biomonitoring of heavy metals is one of the economic methods to identify and improve the quality of air. The aim of this work was to identify the concentration of nine heavy metals viz. Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Al, Cd, As, Cr and Mn in the ambient air deposited on the leaves of five tree species such as Saraca asoca, Terminalia catappa, Syzygium cumini, Ficus religiosa and Pongamia glabra collected from six sites such as Pallavarmedu (Site I), CSI hospital (Site II), Moongilmandapam (Site III), Collectrate (Site IV), Near Cancer Institute (Site V) and VellaGate (Site VI) of the Kanchipuram town of TamilNadu State, in the months of February - March 2019. Even with some differences in the concentration of nine heavy metals on the species, few were identified with significant correlation, suggesting that these pollutants were emitted from similar sources. The deposition of iron (235.53mg/kg) and aluminium (157.91mg/kg) were higher on the leaves of S.asoca compared with other species. The metals such as Cu, Cd, As, Pb and Cr were nil and not detected on the leaves, but Pb concentration was high (185.79 mg/kg) only on P. glabra at Site 2 and Cr (2.37 mg/kg) was found on the leaves of S. asoca at Site 1. The heavy metal dust deposited on the leaf surface was probably due to vehicular emission and other anthropogenic activities. The analysis showed that all the selected tree species acted as a biomonitor and should be grown that may help to improve the air quality of the area.

Authors: Soni Monika , Choure Kamlesh
Published: September 2021

In the current perusal, 12 isolates of Pseudomonas were segregated by rhizospheric soil of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) of Madhya Pradesh, India. Isolated test organisms were characterized morphologically, biochemically and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Out of 12, one isolate designated as P4 was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, which revealed 100% homology with the strains DSM 50071 and NBRC 12689. The phylogenetic examination was accomplished utilizing MEGA-X to confirm the identity of isolate P4. The nucleotide hierarchy of the 16S rRNA gene from P4 isolate was submitted in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database under gene bank with accession number MT116414. The P4 isolate exhibited multiple plant growth promotion properties like phosphate solubility, indole acetic acid (IAA) production, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, siderophores, ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) activities, and biocontrol activities against phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum and Macrophomina phaseolina.

Published: September 2021

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channel proteins. They play a key role in maintaining water balance and homeostasis in cells under stress conditions in living organisms. AQPs are pore forming transmembrane proteins that facilitate water movement and various small neutral solutes across cellular membranes. Aquaporin expression and transport functions are modulated by various phytohormones mediated signalling in plants. Transcriptome analysis revealed the role of aquaporins in regulating hydraulic conductance in plant roots and leaves. Different AQPs found in the seed system have individual functions that are more time and tissue specific, ultimately helping in the seed imbibition process to complete seed germination. Seed specific TIP3s aquaporin helps to maintain seed longevity under expressional control of ABI3 during seed maturation and heat shock proteins and late embryogenic abundant proteins. Under stress circumstances, the major significance of aquaporin expression in seeds is to maintain water influx and efflux rates, as well as protein modification, post translational alterations, nutritional acquisition and allocation, subcellular trafficking and CO2 transport. The present review mainly focused on aquaporin structure, classification, role and functional activity during solute transport, reproductive organs development, plant growth development, abiotic stress response and also various roles in seeds such as seed biology, seed development and maturation, seed dormancy, seed germination and longevity.

Authors: Kumari Tamanna , Shukla Vineeta
Published: September 2021

Research on green synthesis in nanotechnology is a forthcoming field in the modern material science area. Potentiality utilization of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles is an area of vast research that makes them a suitable candidate for expanding highly innovative technologies. This study evaluated the effect of the drying method for leaves of the plant, Azadirachta indica on phytochemicals characteristics of extracts, bioactivity attributes and characteristics of nanoparticles (NPs) accommodating varied keen compounds. Synthesis of iron (Fe) nanoparticles was done using the green bottom-up method, in which aqueous extract of A. indica leaves acted as an extremely promising reducing and stabilizing agent. Various characterization techniques such as EDX (Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis), FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy), FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), UV-VIS spectroscopy, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) crystallography, Zeta potential and sizer confirmed the fabrication of iron nanoparticles. The quantification results established that oven-dried leaves extract had a higher total phenolic content (108.23 mg GAE/g) and free radical scavenging capacity (250.165 mg GAE/g) than air-dried leaves extract. Characterization results endorsed that air-dried leaves extract acted as an advanced reducing agent that can swap the time consuming and perilous chemical synthesis of nanoparticles for a scalable formulation. The clear, intense XRD peaks revealed the crystalline nature of NPs, EDX results confirmed the purity of samples and finally, FT-IR analysis exhibited the presence of phytomolecules along with Fe NPs in final product obtained.

Assessing the magnitude of reporting bias in a sample of recent systematic reviews - A comparison of a Prospero and Cochrane Sample
Authors: Siebert Maximilian
Published: September 2021

Objective: To explore differences in published reviews and their respective protocols in a sample of 97 non-Cochrane systematic reviews (non-CSRs) and 97 Cochrane systematic reviews (CSRs) in terms of PICOS elements and to which extent they were reported.Study Design and Setting: We searched PubMed and Cochrane database to identify non-CSRs and CSRs that were published in 2018. Afterwards we searched for their corresponding Cochrane or PROSPERO protocol. The reviews were compared to their protocols. The primary outcome was the change from protocol to review in terms of PICOS elements.Results: More than the half of each sample (54.6% of CSRs & 67% of non-CSRs) (ARR 12.4% [12% ; 12.8%]) presented changes in PICOS elements. A total of 227 changes were identified, distributed as 108 (47.5%) in CSRs and 119 (52.5%) in non-CSRs. For both samples an approximate third of total changes corresponded to changes related to primary outcomes. Marked differences were found between samples with regards to declaration of changes. Only 4.2% of changes in PICOS items have been declared in non-CSRs compared to 57.4% in CSRs (ARR 53.2% [52.9% ; 53.5%]).Conclusion: CSRs showed better results than non-CSRs in terms of reporting changes and showed higher quality. Nevertheless, reporting of changes from protocol should be advanced and requires improvement in general. Limitation of this study lies in its cross-sectional nature.
Continuous Fixed-Bed Column Study Using Carbon Nano-Adsorbent Made Through Pyrolysis of Garbage Leachate on the Sand Particles for Removal of 4-Nonylphenol from Surface Water
Authors: Safari Mastaneh , Mosaddegh Iman
Published: September 2021

The potential of carbon nanorods (NRs) derived from garbage leachate was assessed in a fixed-bed and batch system replacing the present costly approaches to treat surface water polluted by 4-Nonylphenol. First, the waste leachate was coated on silica particles and then pyrolysis was performed at 300 to 800℃. The optimum temperature for the production of nano-adsorbent was determined by analyses such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for adsorbent morphological characterization, X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and Raman test. Next, Freundlich, Langmuir, and UT isotherm models were used to analyze the batch equilibrium data. The impact of inlet 4-NP concentration (0.5, 1, and 2 mgL-1), feed flow rate (5, 10, and 20 mLmin-1), bed height (5, 10, and 15 cm), and bottom-up flow on the breakthrough features of the sorption system with a fixed bed was examined. The adsorption data were fitted using the well-known column models (i.e., Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, and Adams-Bohart). For all circumstances, the best fitting was obtained for the attained results using Yoon-Nelson and Thomas models, but not the Adams-Bohart model. The experimental data confirmed that increasing the inlet concentration and bed depth resulted in an increase in the adsorption capacity and a decrease in flow rate. After applying a different regeneration process, the results showed the effectiveness of the novel engineered substance as a reusable adsorbent for water treatment.
