Authors:   Universiti Putra Malaysia, Pebrian D El , Yahya A , Siang T C
Published: September 2023

The workers' physiological impact with respect to human energy expenditure and heart rate against the various operations at the nursery and field stages in oil palm cultivation has been studied. The involved operations under both the nursery or field stages and the available tasks within each operation were ranked individually under the combinational basis of dawdling, demanding, and exhausting criteria. Holing in large polybags was found to be currently the most critical operation under the nursery stage, while planting germinated seeds in small polybags was the least critical operation. On the other hand, lining was found to be currently the most critical operation under the field stage operation, while pest control was the least critical operation. The established DWD-DEM-EXH Cartesian Plot could be used as the prime basis when formulating the proper mechanisation programme for the oil palm plantations in Malaysia.

Indication of Soil Organic Carbon Augmentation in Oil Palm Cultivated Inland Mineral Soils of Peninsular Malaysia
Authors:   IOI Research Centre, Mathews J , Tan T H , Chong K M
Published: September 2023

Studies conducted on soil organic carbon (SOC) along with the annual soil fertility testing indicate that the carbon (C) stored or sequestrated in the soil was higher in the second and third cycles by 32 and 47 per cent, respectively than the first cycle of oil palm cultivation developed from the logged jungle of inland soils of Peninsular Malaysia. Although the SOC values of the top soil (0-15 cm) was higher than that of subsoil (15-45 cm), the largest build-up of SOC was observed at a depth of 15-45 cm in the second and third cycles of oil palm cultivation, indicating that the below-ground biomass of preceding planting contributes to a greater sequestration of carbon in the soil. Nevertheless, deviation from the mean SOC was broad which could be due to the temporal changes in the methods of planting and re-planting, palm age, field management practices of maintaining inter-row vegetation, pruning, placement and amount of fronds, disease control and placement of wastes from the oil mill. It appears that in the life cycle assessment of oil palm, where land uses and land use change ( LULUC) is considered, it may be essential to look into SOC as a part of the measuring tool of C stock prior to the development of oil palm and the increment of C stocks in each cycle of cultivation. Keywords: Soil organic carbon, soil carbon sequestration.

Authors:   Tradewinds Plantation Berhad, Veloo Ramesh , Selamat Paimin
Published: September 2023

Shortage of good land resources has forced agricultural development, particularly oil palm cultivation into marginal soils and development of oil palm in particular on peat soil both in Malaysia and Indonesia. The interest of oil palm development on peat has triggered criticism on issues related to the environment and sustainability. Claims were made that oil palm development on peat is not sustainable due to the impact on the hydrological balance, emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) thereby contributing to global warming. On the other hand, the need to alleviate rural poverty and the economic viability of planting on very accessible peat remain a push factor in developing peat land into oil palm plantations. The paper discusses the current scenario of oil palm development on peat soil, challenges and the problems facing the industry from an environmental perspective. Implementation of current sustainable practices related to new development, water management and palm nutrition in line with the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) principles and criteria are also considered. The paper addresses the prospects of oil palm cultivation on peat soil. Keywords: Peat soil development, socio economic considerations, environment, sustainable practices, RSPO principles and criteria, new development, water management, palm nutrition.

Understanding Pest Biology and Behaviour for Effective Control of Oil Palm Bagworms
Authors:   Sime Darby Research Centre, Cheong Yew Loong , Tey Chin Chong
Published: September 2023

The bagworms, viz. Metisa plana, Pteroma pendula and Mahasena corbetti are important leaf pest of oil palm in Malaysia. Despite the fact that effective control is available, they continue to cause outbreaks, often resulting in significant crop loss. There are many reasons for this, one of which is the inadequate understanding of the biology and behavior of the pest by the planters. Bagworm can be easily recognised by the morphology of its pupal case. The pupa of M. plana is sub-cylindrical, 9-13 mm long, with a hook-shaped attachment on the leaf. For P. pendula, it is cylindrical, 7-8 mm long, with smooth surface and a long attachment thread on the leaf like a pendulum. The pupal case of M. corbetti is relatively large, 27-33 mm, covered with irregular pieces of leaves, stalk and other materials, with a very untidy appearance. The life cycle of P. pendula, M. plana and M. corbetti is about 48-50 days, 92-97 days and 110-140 days, respectively. While the fecundity of the three species is 65, 130 and 3 000 eggs, respectively. The dispersal mechanism of the bagworm species appeared to be related to the fecundity of the different species. For P. pendula which has a lower reproduction rate, it has to ensure the neonates reach and feed on the vegetation within a short time in order to reduce the mortality risk. Thus, its primary mode of dispersal is by crawling out from the mother case to reach the vegetation attached to the case and start constructing its bag as soon as possible. The neonates of M. plana are usually dispersed via long silk thread through a process known as "ballooning". P. pendula can tolerate higher humidity as compared to M. plana and thus it can also cause outbreaks during raining season. Effective control of bagworm can be achieved if the information on the life cycle and behaviour of the pest can be utilised to plan for appropriate measures to stop the spread of the pest, and guide correct timing for chemical intervention. Chemical control should be based on census results and initiated when the bagworms are at the young larval stages which are most vulnerable to the chemical. Post-treatment monitoring is important for checking the effectiveness of the control action taken and for planning the necessary follow up action. Keywords: Oil palm, bagworms, Psychidae, biology, control.
Evaluation of Several Chemical Control Approaches against Bagworm, Metisa plana Walker (Lepidopterea : Psychidae) in FELDA Oil Palm Plantations
Authors: Salim Hasber , Hamid Noor Hisham
Published: September 2023

A series of field trials investigating the efficacy of several application techniques for insecticides against bagworm, Metisa plana, were carried out in oil palm plantations. The efficacy of the ground spraying technique applying four common insecticides was investigated on 5 year-old palms. In general, all the four insecticides provided satisfactory control against M. plana, and pest populations were reduced to below the economic threshold level. However, the ground spraying technique was estimated to be low in productivity and took a longer time. The second study evaluated efficacy of trunk injection by using systemic insecticides methamidophos and monocrotophos in mature palms. The results showed that both insecticides were highly effective (P<0.05) against M. plana, with the pest populations eradicated following a single application. The efficacies of both insecticides were further evaluated on young palms using root absorption. Results from this study showed that both insecticides were effective against pest populations using this technique (P<0.05), reducing them to below the economic threshold level. The trunk injection technique has proven to be the most suitable technique to control large-scale bagworm outbreaks in mature oil palm plantations. Keywords: Metisa plana, chemical control, spraying, trunk injection, root absorption

Published: September 2023

Uterine Fibroids (UFs), also known as uterineleiomyomas or myomas, are benign tumors derivedfrom smooth muscle tissue. Vitamin D deficiency is oneof the many factors involved in the development andgrowth of UFs. Many studies have shown that vitamin Dsupplementation decreases the size of fibroids despitea poorly understood pathogenesis. The activity ofvitamin D against UF cells has mainly been supportedby various in vitro and in vivo studies. For this review,we conducted in-depth research of published literatureon vitamin D's biological and pathophysiological effectson UFs. We searched on Google Scholar and PubMedusing common keywords and selected 23 studies fromthe search results. The literature chosen from the pastten years was read and analyzed thoroughly. However,because of the limited research on the effects of vitaminD on UFs and the different inclusion criteria, the clinicalefficacy of vitamin D on women with UFs remainsunclear. More extensive, well-organized studies on thespecific effects of vitamin D on the growth of UFs wouldprove efficacious in establishing treatments.

The Place and Importance of the Tughra Form In Turkish Calligraphy with the Example of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent
Authors: SEVER DEMİR Secil
Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the tuğra form, an important element of Ottoman calligraphy, in terms of its place in Turkish calligraphy, historical development, usage areas, and design features. In this context, it is emphasized that the significance of the tuğra goes beyond its function in official documents, serving as an art piece reflecting the artistic sensibilities of its era. Tughras are typically designed in a curved form consisting of the sere, beyze, tuğ, and hançer parts, including the name of the sultan, his father's name, and the phrase "el muzaffer daima." The composition and ornamentation of this text depend on the skills of the artisans of the era and the opulence of the reign. The earliest curved tughra examples that can be found are seen in documents of the Great Seljuk Empire. Later, the use of tughras continued in the Anatolian Seljuks and the Ottoman Empire. Officially, the use of tughras ended on November 1, 1922, with the abolition of the monarchy. The tughra served as a title in official correspondence in the Ottoman state and represented the sultan's signature and the seal of the state. As such, tughras appeared on official documents such as orders, decrees, land deeds, diplomas, as well as on coins, stamps, registration books, dynastic emblems, flags, and official architectural monuments. Additionally, calligraphy works in the form of tughras were created with verses from the Quran, prayers, the Basmala, hadiths, aphorisms, and personal names. The tughra of Ottoman Sultan Orhan Bey, which included the names of "Orhan and his father Osman," laid the foundation for all Ottoman tughra designs. In this study, the tughra of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, produced in the Istanbul Palace Workshop during the 16th century, which is considered the brightest period of the Ottoman Empire, was examined. This tughra, currently on display at the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, was analyzed in terms of its text, calligraphy design, composition features, and illumination patterns. The tughra's design features prominently include the use of gold and navy blue. Illumination patterns feature saz-style dagger leaves, double tahrir-style hatayi designs, stylized carnations, and cloud motifs. Due to these design characteristics, it is believed that the tughra was created in the style of Kara Memi, the chief illuminator of the era.As a result of the research, it was concluded that tughras were not limited to being merely official documents but also represented significant art pieces that reflected the artistic sensibilities of their time.

Zur Verwendung von Musik in Agnès Vardas Filmen über Jacques Demy
Authors: Drees Stefan
Published: September 2023

Im filmischen Schaffen der Regisseurin Agnès Varda (1928–2019) spielen dokumentarische Elemente eine zentrale Rolle. So hat Varda im Laufe ihrer Karriere nicht nur eine höchst individuelle Art des essayistischen Dokumentarfilms entwickelt, sondern auch ihre narrativen Filme mit (fiktiven oder realen) dokumentarischen Passagen durchsetzt. Anhand ausgewählter Beispiele befasst sich der Vortrag mit den Grundlagen von Vardas Praxis des Musikgebrauchs. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei eine Gruppe von Filmen, in denen sich die Regisseurin mit der Arbeit ihres verstorbenen Ehemannes Jacques Demy (1931–1990) befasst: JACQUOT DE NANTES (1991), LES DEMOISELLES ONT EU 25 ANS (1993) und L’UNIVERS DE JACQUES DEMY (1995). Diese drei Filme erweisen sich als besonders aufschlussreich, weil sie nicht nur eigene Filmmusik besitzen, sondern zugleich auch Material aus Demys Musikfilmen (z. B. aus LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG, 1964; LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT, 1967; PEAU D’ÂNE, 1970; UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE, 1982) verwenden und es – auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise – als dokumentierten Gegenstand filmisch inszenieren.

Documentary elements are a key feature in the films of director Agnès Varda (1928–2019). During her career, Varda not only developed a highly individual type of essayistic documentary film, but also interspersed her narrative films with (fictional or real) documentary passages. Us-ing selected examples, the paper examines Varda’s use of music. The focus is on a group of films in which the director deals with the work of her late husband Jacques Demy (1931–1990): JACQUOT DE NANTES (1991), LES DEMOISELLES ONT EU 25 ANS (1993) and L’UNIVERS DE JACQUES DEMY (1995). These three films prove to be particularly interesting because they not only have their own film music, but at the same time also use musical material from Demy’s films (e. g. from LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG, 1964; LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT, 1967; PEAU D’ÂNE, 1970; UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE, 1982) and present it – in different ways – as the subject of documentation.
»The perfect film for posers.«
Authors: Körber Martha-Lotta
Published: September 2023

The article deals with the aesthetics and critical fan reception of the Black Metal biopic lords of chaos (GB/SE 2018, Jonas Åkerlund) along the dimension of its ›authenticity‹. In the film itself and in paratextual discourses in the form of exemplary YouTube comments, divergent concepts of authenticity are demonstrated and the difficulty (up to the point of impossibility) discussed to satisfy a normative and identity-creating idea of ›trueness‹ for Black Metal fans cinematically. The aim is to demonstrate the importance of reception for the film, which challenges the notion of an ideal-typical reader.

Impact of economic crises on long-term regional development in Poland
Authors: Batóg Jacek , Batóg Barbara
Published: September 2023

The existing research indicates large differences in the degree of socio-economic development at the local and regional level in Poland. The study presented in this paper identifies the trends characterising the long-term economic development of regions in Poland. The research sample consisted of all types of gminas (lowest administrative units in Poland), i.e. rural, urban-rural, urban, and cities with powiat (county) status. A classification method based on the pattern and anti-pattern of development in a dynamic perspective was applied in the analyses, which made it possible to compare the values of the synthetic measure of development over time. The data used in the study came from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland and covered the years 2006–2021. The aim of the research was to determine the longterm economic path of development of the different types of gminas by voivodship (highestlevel administrative unit in Poland). The novelty of the study is not only the fact that it covers a long research period, but, more importantly, that it allows the comparison of the effects of two crises (of a different nature) on the development of gminas. The first of them resulted from the collapse of the US real estate market in 2007, and the second was caused by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. A strong differentiation in terms of the level of development of the particular types of gminas was observed across voivodships, as well as a strong similarity of their development paths throughout the studied period. The results based on the dynamic measure of development also indicate that rural and urban-rural gminas were more resilient to crises than urban gminas and cities with powiat status. It also became evident that gminas were significantly more resistant to the negative effects of the pandemic than to the financial crisis.

At a practical level, IoT is a network in which all physical objects connect to the internet via network devices or routers and transfer data. IoT allows objects to be controlled remotely through the existing network infrastructure. The existence of IoT is considered to make it easier for humans to do their work. One of the factors affected by IoT is productivity. Productivity referred to here is work productivity, and its impact on increasing sales, which is related to the economic growth of the manufacturing industry. The influence of IoT, whether we like it or not, will impact all sectors of life. The Internet of Things is slowly turning from a vision to a reality. The IoT platform plays a central role in evolution by providing many architectural blocks. IoT also has the potential to increase the availability of information and is likely to transform companies and organizations in almost every industry in the world. Thus, in the future, economic developments will be able to be monitored and predicted based on an IoT platform that is tailored to the needs of each industry, as well as the goals of the company
