Big Dreams of Small Nations
Authors: Csaba Zahorán
Published: August 2023

Even though more than a hundred years have passed since the end of the First World War, the Hungarian historical consciousness has still not been able to fully come to terms with the lost war and its consequences, namely the Treaty of Trianon. One important reason for this phenomenon, which many authors consider to be a „cultural trauma”, is that the „Hungarian national space” imagined by Hungarian national activists at the time of the unfolding of Modern Nationalisms collapsed in 1918, as recorded in the 1920 peace treaty and reaffirmed in the 1947 one. From the outset, the space considered by the Hungarian elites as Hungarian overlapped with the similar visions of neighbouring non-Hungarian national movements, and at the end of the First World War the latter’s concepts were realised – at the expense of the Hungarian. The present essay traces the process of the emergence, competition and reorganisation of Hungarian and rival “national spaces” from the 19th century to the present day.
Implementation of the Partnership Model of the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry Using CSR and Stakeholder Theory (Partnership Practices in Governance in Pertamina EP Zone 7)
Authors: Lutfi Andhar , Kurniawati Kurniawati
Published: August 2023

So far the partners involved in CSR at Pertamina tend to be limited, and the relationship between partners and companies and between partners is also less than optimal. Starting from these problems, this study aims to: (i) evaluate partnership practices at Pertamina EP Zone 7, whether they follow the CSR partnership pattern or a partnership pattern based on stakeholder theory; (ii) analyze the extent to which there is equality in partnership practices between stakeholders in Pertamina EP Zone 7; and (iii) analyze how the strategy for expanding the scope of stakeholders in the partnership pattern is by stakeholder theory in Pertamina EP Zone 7. The research approach is qualitative. The research location is Pertamina EP Zone 7. The primary data collection technique is through in-depth interviews, while the secondary data collection technique is through library research. The data analysis technique uses stakeholder theory. The results of the study show that Pertamina EP Zone 7 follows the partnership pattern more than the CSR partnership pattern. There are differences in the intensity of cooperation in the partnership pattern, so Pertamina EP Zone 7 treats the ten partners unequally. Pertamina EP Zone 7 can expand the scope of stakeholders in a partnership pattern that is by stakeholder theory by using the dimensions of the business perspective, the dimensions of the scope of responsibility, and the dimensions of the direction of responsibility.

Cancer Classification & Prediction Is Vitally Important for Cancer Diagnosis. DNA Microarray Technology Has Provided Genetic Data That Has Facilitated Scientists Perform Cancer Research. Traditional Methods of Classification Have Certain Limitations E.G. Traditionally A Proposed DSS Uses A Single Classifier at A Time for Classification or Prediction Purposes. To Increase Classification Accuracy, Reject Option Classifiers Has Been Proposed in Machine Learning Literature. In A Reject Option Classifier, A Rejection Region Is Defined and The Samples Fall in That Region Are Not Classified by The Classifier. The Unclassifiable Samples Are Rejected by Classifier in Order to Improve Classifier’s Accuracy. However, These Rejections Affect the Prediction Rate of The Classifier as Well. To Overcome the Problem of Low Prediction Rates by Increased Rejection of Samples by A Single Classifier, the “Delegating Classifiers” Provide Better Accuracy at Less Rejection Rate. Different Classifiers Such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Etc. Have Been Proposed. Moreover, Traditionally, Same Learner Is Used As “Delegated” And “Delegating” Classifier. This Research Has Investigated the Effects of Using Different Machine Learning Classifiers in Both of The Delegated and Delegating Classifiers, And the Results Obtained Showed That Proposed Method Gives High Accuracy and Increases the Prediction Rate.

Seasonal and diurnal measurement of ambient benzene at a high traffic inflation site in Delhi: Health risk assessment and its possible role in ozone formation pathways
Authors: Kumari Poonam , Soni Daya , Aggarwal Shankar G. , Singh Khem
Published: August 2023

Benzene is the most toxic and hazardous pollutant among volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as it comes under group 1 carcinogens recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It also plays a significant role in forming secondary pollutants like ozone. The benzene concentration was measured using a charcoal sorbent tube by active sampling at a traffic junction and analysis was done using GC-FID. The maximum average concentration of benzene in ambient air was found to be 33 μg/m3. A diurnal study of benzene measurement shows higher benzene concentrations in the evening compared to the morning. Seasonal variation of benzene is found to be winter > spring > summer > autumn > monsoon and OFP was found to be 21, 19, 14, 13, and 10 respectively. Cancer (ILCR) and non-cancer (HQ) health risk assessment was done to determine the impact of ambient benzene on the residents of urban areas. The yearly average value of ILCR was found to be 2×10-6 ± 1×10-6 which ranges from acceptable value to three times the WHO acceptable value i.e 1×10-6. The correlation of ozone and its precursor, benzene with meteorological parameters is also evaluated. The correlation of benzene and ozone with solar radiation shows the influence of photochemical reactions on the levels of benzene and ozone at the study site, although it is low.

The accurate questionnaire sent out were 258, from which 235 (91.1) responses were received, and after ascertaining the validity of the questions 227 (96.6%). The 227 questionnaires produced the functional response rate. The multivariate analysis by means of the Multiple Linear Regression Analysis through the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 22.0) was used for data analysis, and it was established that green supply chain management practices dimensions were practical in influencing environmental sustainability. However, the effects are moderated by government initiative. The results revealed that green purchasing; eco design and reverse logistics have a strong, significant and positive influence on environmental sustainability. The study therefore concludes that, there is a significant influence of green supply chain management practices on environmental sustainability of clearing and forwarding companies in Rivers State of Nigeria and recommends that clearing
Conflict Resolution and the Autonomy of the Local Baptist Church: A Critical Review
Authors: Afolaranmi Adebayo Ola
Published: August 2023

One peculiar distinctiveness of the Baptists is the autonomous status of a local Baptist church from other churches and even higher authorities of the religious denomination. This paper reviews this church polity in tandem with conflict resolution mechanisms in a local church. Semi- structured interviews were used to determine how the polity affects resolving conflicts in a local church. Some available documents and literatures are reviewed and analysed in relation to the autonomy of a local Nigerian Baptist church and conflict resolution mechanisms. It is discovered that while the church polity has its benefits, there are some impediments it has against smooth conflict resolution mechanisms in the local church. Therefore, it is recommended that the Nigerian Baptist Convention, as a faith-based organisation, and churches cooperating with it should revisit the principle of autonomy of a local church. Responsible and regulated autonomy should be considered as total autonomy of a local church can lead to disorder and anarchy in the organisation.

EVALUATION ON COST AND EFFICACY OF HERBICIDES TO ERADICATE MERREMIA PELTATA IN IMMATURE OIL PALM AT KINABATANGAN REGION
Authors: ABAN ALEXANDER , ZAINAL MUHAMMAD FAIZ , MD SEIN MD MUSLIM , LEE TECK FAH
Published: August 2023

Merremia peltata is a perennial vine with large underground tuber. The smooth stem can climb to more than 20 m long and twine at the tips. A humid tropic up to 700 m sea level provides suitable habitat to the Merremia peltata seeds to sprout with fast growth rates. In Sabah, it is commonly found in the immature oil palm field and has become a type of endemic weed competing with the leguminous cover crops. Removal and eradication of these weeds are observed to be labour intensive, costly due to multiple rounds of herbicide treatment needed and most importantly, may impede oil palm growth if it is not adequately controlled. Merremia peltata is found to grow in Genting Plantations Berhad (GENP) estates in Kinabatangan region. A trial was conducted on hilly terrain planted with immature oil palm of 2 years old with the objective to evaluate the various types of herbicides (systemic and contact) to control Merremia peltata up to the extent of when the subsequent spraying is necessary. The annual rainfall recorded was around 3 000 mm. Equipment used in the trial was the Conventional Knapsack Sprayer (CKS), 16 L sprayer calibrated to 450 L for blanket spraying fitted with LSA/4 (green) nozzle. A range of single herbicides was evaluated and ranked accordingly to the results based on the product efficacy as well as cost-effectiveness. The herbicide treatments were MSMA+ diuron (2.3 and 3. 0 L/ha), glufosinate-ammonium (3.3 L/ha), MSMA (2.8 and 3.9 Llha), metsulfuron-methyl (250 and 350 g/ha) and triclopyr (1.5 and 2.0 L/ha). The post-treatment analysis was carried out based on visual observation at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks after treatment (WAT) on the percentage of Merremia killed and incidence of regeneration or no effect (0% = no effect I full regeneration, 100% = complete kill). Seven out of ten treatments recorded 100 per cent kill at 4 weeks after treatment. Triclopyr being the best treatment, giving more than 90 per cent kill as early as 2 WAT up to 8 WAT with more effective control contributing to the lowest regeneration stage at 5 per cent. Triclopyr was also the most cost-effective treatment estimated at RMI 3.95 per treated hectare (50 ml/ 16 L water) compared with other type of herbicides. MSMA+ diuron and glufosinate-ammonium were ranked the second and third herbicides whose results were similar to triclopyr but with higher cost per treated hectare ranging from RM25 - RM45. Overall, subsequent round of herbicides treatment would be required every 3 months to control Merremia peltata. Keynote: Merremia peltata, immature oil palm, herbicide evaluation.
Determination of Sulfuric Acid Effects on Degradation and Structural Changes of Gelatin Using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and Peak Deconvolution Analysis
Authors: Koochakzaei Alireza
Published: August 2023

The present research was aimed to investigate the effects of sulfuric acid on the structures of gelatin polypeptides. Gelatin samples were immersed in 0.5 M sulfuric acid solution for different periods of 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480, 960, and 1920 s, with possible structural changes analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Spectra at amide I and II regions were scrutinized using the Gaussian deconvolution method for the resulting changes in the protein secondary structure. The hydrolysis process initially led to a decrease in the α-helix chain and an increase in random coil and β-sheet structures. An equilibrium was formed in degradation and these structures were sequentially turned on each other. Results revealed a correlation between the peak intensity changes of these conformations, so that the degradation process could be observed in the conversion of α-helix to random coil and β-sheet structures and vice versa, indicating the oxidation and expansion of protein structure at the onset of the degradation process.

La elaboración de un buen hormigón para el uso estructural es de elemental importancia, es por eso que los materiales y la preparación de una buena dosificación para el diseño y construcción de edificaciones deben poseer una buena calidad y así registrar excelentes propiedades. Este artículo presenta una prueba experimental que define la influencia que tienen diversos factores como la calidad del agua utilizada en el proceso de la fabricación del hormigón y del tipo de curado, en donde se determinaron las características de cada uno de estos y se estableció la dosificación para la resistencia a compresión requerida para la elaboración de la mezcla de hormigón.  El estudio consistió en ensayar a compresión dos probetas provenientes de una misma mezcla de hormigón, sometidas a condiciones de curado distintas, en donde una probeta fue sometida a curado por hundimiento y la otra a curado por aplicación de membrana plástica transparente, mostrando que cualquiera de los dos métodos es aceptable ya que su resistencia a compresión cumple con el requerimiento. También se elaboraron cinco probetas con distinto tipo de calidad de agua, es así que se preparó una probeta con agua potable en su composición, una con agua mineral gasificada y una última probeta con agua azucarada, para evidenciar la influencia de estas en la calidad final del hormigón requerido en este caso de 180kg/cm2 o 114 a los 7 días.
Submarine crevasse lobes controlled by lateral slope failure in tectonically-active settings: an exhumed example from the Eocene Aínsa depocentre (Spain)

Tectonic deformation and associated submarine slope failures modify seafloor relief, influencing sediment dispersal patterns and the resulting depositional architecture of deep-water systems. The exhumed Middle Eocene strata of the Banastón deep-water system in the Aínsa depocentre, Spain, allow the interplay between submarine slope confined systems, mass flow deposits, and syn-depositional compressional tectonics to be investigated. This study focuses on the Banastón II sub-unit, interpreted as deposits of low-sinuosity and narrow (2-3 km wide) channel-belts confined laterally by tectonically-controlled, fine-grained slopes. The studied succession (111 m-thick) is exposed along a 1.5 km long SE-NW trending depositional dip section and is documented here by facies analysis and physical correlation of 10 measured sections. Results show a stratigraphic evolution in which the channel axes migrated to the southwest, away from a growing structure in the northeastern part of the Aínsa depocentre. Uplift of this structure promoted the breaching of confining channel walls and slope material with mass failures and the development of sand-rich crevasse scour-fills and crevasse lobes. We show that crevasse deposits form an important component of overbank succession. These crevasse lobes are characterized by structureless thick and medium beds that form < 5 m thick packages in proximal parts and thin abruptly over 1 km across strike (NE) and along downdip (NW) into structured thin beds, similar to the heterolithic dominated overbank deposits. Although the development of crevasse lobes has been observed in multiple deep-water systems in ancient and modern systems, this study documents, for the first time, crevasse lobe development on the active compressional margin of a foreland basin rather than on the opposing, more stable and gentler inactive margin. We discuss the mechanism for forming these crevasse deposits, which exploited the accommodation generated by submarine landslides derived from the tectonically-active compressional margin.
Should I Move? The Benefits and Costs of Spatial Mobility for Different Groups of the Roma Population
Authors: Ember Zsolt , Huszti Éva , Lénárt Imre
Published: August 2023

Introduction: Moving away can be motivated by a multitude of factors, just as the reasons for not moving away might be different. The individual’s social situation greatly determines the chance of turning their life situation around through moving away. Aims: We investigated the factors that affected the representatives of the three Roma groups researched here (Romungro, Vlach, Boyash) in their moving in the past and in their intentions to move in the future. Methods: A SEM model was developed (N = 570) to analyze the differences between previous movers and non-movers in well-being, socioeconomic status, and social network. We also investigated the effect of the above variables on the intention to move. Data were collected via the “snowball method”. Results: Out of the Vlachs, those who had moved in the past have significantly fewer confidant relatives (p = .021) and also know significantly fewer people pursuing high-prestige vocations (p = .003), moreover, the fewer people pursuing moderate-prestige vocations they know, the more they would like to move away from their present residence (p = .031). Regarding the Boyash, the more favorable their socio-economic situation, the more they would like to move away (p = .007); while regarding the Romungro, the low level of their mental wellbeing (p = .019) and the relatively high number of their confidant relatives constitutes (p = .017) the incentive to change their residence. Conclusions: The spatially mobile Roma who had moved before possess fewer confidant relatives and weak ties. The individual factors connect to the different Roma groups’ moving intentions to various extents.

Objective: This study determined fermentation characteristics of commonly used feedstuffs, especially tropical roughages, for dairy cattle in Southeast Asia. This information is considered relevant in the context of the observed low milk fat content and milk production in Southeast Asia countries.Methods: A total of 29 feedstuffs commonly used for dairy cattle in Vietnam and Thailand were chemically analysed and subjected to an in vitro gas production (GP) test. For 72 h, GP was continuously recorded with fully automated equipment and methane (CH4) was measured at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72 h of incubation. A triphasic, nonlinear, regression procedure was applied to analyse GP profiles while a monophasic model was used to obtain kinetics related to CH4 production.Results: King grass and VA06 showed a high asymptotic GP related to the soluble- and non-soluble fractions (i.e. A1 and A2, respectively) and had the highest acetate to propionate ratio in the incubation fluid. The proportion of CH4 produced (% of GP at 72 h) was found to be not different (p>0.05) between the various grasses. Among the selected preserved roughages (n = 6) and whole crops (n = 4), sorghum was found to produce the greatest amount of gas in combination with a relatively low CH4 production.Conclusion: Grasses belonging to the genus Pennisetum, and whole crop sorghum can be considered as suitable ingredients to formulate dairy rations to enhance milk fat content in Vietnam/Thailand.

Objective: Tibetan chickens, which have unique adaptations to extreme high-altitude environments, exhibit phenotypic and physiological characteristics that are distinct from those of lowland chickens. However, the mechanisms underlying hypoxic adaptation in the liver of chickens remain unknown.Methods: RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology was used to assess the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved in hypoxia adaptation in highland chickens (native Tibetan chicken [HT]) and lowland chickens (Langshan chicken [LS], Beijing You chicken [BJ], Qingyuan Partridge chicken [QY], and Chahua chicken [CH]).Results: A total of 352 co-DEGs were specifically screened between HT and four native lowland chicken breeds. Gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment analyses indicated that these co-DEGs were widely involved in lipid metabolism processes, such as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPAR) signaling pathway, fatty acid degradation, fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis. To further determine the relationship from the 352 co-DEGs, protein-protein interaction network was carried out and identified eight genes (ACSL1, CPT1A, ACOX1, PPARC1A, SCD, ACSBG2, ACACA, and FASN) as the potential regulating genes that are responsible for the altitude difference between the HT and other four lowland chicken breeds.Conclusion: This study provides novel insights into the molecular mechanisms regulating hypoxia adaptation via lipid metabolism in Tibetan chickens and other highland animals.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biogas slurry application on biomass production and the silage quality of corn.Methods: A field experiment was conducted in which corn was grown using different biogas slurry application rates. The effect of 25% to 500% biogas slurry nitrogen replacement (T1 to T14) on the yield and quality indices of corn were studied by field plot experiments.Results: The results revealed that biogas slurry application improved the stem diameter and relative feed value of corn silage in treatments T13 and T11. Moreover, the fermentation quality of corn silage was improved due to an increase in lactic acid content; in comparison with the chemical synthetic fertilizer (CF) group. The crude protein contents of corn silage had no obvious change with increasing biogas slurry application. However, the forage quality index of acid detergent fiber was decreased (p<0.05) in the T11 group compared with the CF group. In addition, higher (p<0.05) 30 h in vitro dry matter digestibility and 30 h in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility were observed in the T11 and T13 groups than in the CF group.Conclusion: Based on these results, it was concluded that the optimum biogas slurry application rate for corn was approximately 350% to 450% biogas slurry nitrogen replacement under the present experimental conditions.

Published: August 2023

Objective: This study investigated the effect of adding seminal plasma to frozen-thawed semen on the quality of sperm and pregnancy following insemination in dromedary camels.Methods: In experiment 1, the frozen-thawed semen from 9 collections (3 bulls) was further diluted with either the base extender or homologous seminal plasma (HSP). In the second experiment, a pooled sample of frozen-thawed semen was diluted with either seminal plasma from another three bulls. Live percentage, total and progressive motility, functional and acrosome integrity, and sperm kinematics were evaluated at 15, 60, and 120 minutes post-thawing and compared to the non-treated control. In experiment 3, frozen semen was used to inseminate camels in the following experimental groups: 1-Single insemination with double dose undiluted frozen semen (n = 9); 2-Re-insemination in 6 hours with undiluted semen (n = 13); 3-Single insemination with HSP treated sperm (n = 14).Results: Frozen-thawed sperm diluted in HSP or the non-homologous seminal plasma from Bull C indicated an improvement in all parameters after 1 hour post-thawing incubation (p<0.05). The proportion of total and progressively motile sperm did not drop significantly at 60 minutes post-thawing when diluted with the seminal plasma of Bull C (p>0.05). Double insemination with nontreated sperm and single insemination with HSP-treated sperm resulted in similar pregnancy rates (15.3% vs 21.4%, p>0.05). None of the camels conceived with double-dose single insemination of nontreated sperm.Conclusion: Seminal plasma improves sperm longevity and motility after thawing in dromedary camel with a significant between-bull variation in effect. Low post-thaw sperm longevity might be the cause behind the low pregnancy rates in frozen semen insemination of dromedary camels.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of optimal trace mineral levels on the physiological responses, reproductive performance, litter performance, blood profiles and milk composition in gestating sows.Methods: A total of 59 multiparous sows (Yorkshire×Landrace) with similar body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BF), and parity were assigned to one of four treatments with 14 or 15 sows per treatment using a completely randomized design. The treatments were 100% (M1), 300% (M3), 600% (M6), and 900% (M9) of the National Research Council (NRC) Nutrient Requirements of Swine. During lactation period, all the sows were fed the same commercial lactation diet.Results: No significant differences were observed in the BW, BF, reproductive performance, milk composition, or growth performance of the piglets. On day 70 of gestation, the serum zinc concentration showed a quadratic response to M6 treatment (quadratic, p<0.05). Moreover, as the dietary mineral levels increased, the zinc concentration increased linearly at 110 days of gestation (linear, p<0.05). Furthermore, copper and iron concentrations in the serum of sows at 24 h postpartum decreased linearly when high levels of dietary minerals were provided (linear, p<0.05). In the serum of piglets, serum zinc concentrations decreased linearly (linear, p<0.05), and iron concentration showed a quadratic response (quadratic, p<0.05) with an increase in trace mineral premix levels in gestation diets.Conclusion: The current trace mineral requirements of NRC (2012) are suitable for gestating sows, and the addition of dietary mineral levels in the gestating diet did not show any improvements during the gestation and lactation periods.

Objective: The growing consumers’ interest on animal welfare has raised the request of products obtained by alternative rearing systems. The present study was conducted to assess the influence of housing system on gut and muscle morphology and on microbial load in rabbits reared under free-range (FR) and cage system (CS).Methods: A total of forty weaned (35 days of age) male Italian White breed rabbits were allotted according to the rearing system, and at 91 days of age were randomly selected and slaughtered for the morphological evaluation of tissue from duodenum and longissimus lumborum. Morphometric analysis of the villus height, villus width, crypt depth, villus height/crypt depth ratio, and villus surface was performed. The microbial loads on hind muscle was determined by total mesophilic aerobic count (TMAC), Escherichia coli and Enterobacteriaceae; whereas, total anaerobic bacteria count (TABC) and TMAC, E. coli and Enterobacteriaceae was determined on caecal content.Results: Rearing system did not interfere with the duodenum and muscle histomorphology in both rabbit groups. Similarly, microbial load of caecal content showed no significant differences on the TABC and TMAC. Conversely, significant difference was found for E. coli strains in caecal content, with the lower counts in FR compared to CS rabbits (p<0.01). Microbiological assay of muscle revealed significant lower TMAC in FR vs CS rabbits (p< 0.05). All rabbit meat samples were negative for E. Coli and Enterobacteriaceae.Conclusion: Free-range could be considered a possible alternative and sustainable rearing system in rabbits to preserve gut environment and muscle quality.
