EFEKTIVITAS PENGGUNAAN MEDIA TANAM AGRONIKA PADA PERTUMBUHAN DAN PRODUKSI JAGUNG MANIS (Zea mays saccharata sturt)
Authors: Rio Dewantara , Sanjaya Refki
Published: May 2024

Abstract : Sweet corn production at the Indonesian farmer level is still very low. The low production is due to the many obstacles faced in the cultivation of sweet corn, including low soil fertility. The tendency of farmers to currently use inorganic fertilizers. The negative effect of using inorganic fertilizers is that the physical condition of the soil becomes worse, crop yields decrease from previous results. An alternative to overcome this negative effect is by using organic fertilizers. This fertilizer tends to increase the amount of water that can be held in the soil. in the soil and available to plants, as well as a source of energy for micro-organisms. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of the use of agronomic fertilizers on the growth of sweet corn, and to determine the level of effectiveness of the use of agronic fertilizers.
This study consisted of using agronic fertilizers with different dosage levels. The observed plant growth parameters were plant height, number of leaves, and stem diameter, while the observed production parameters were stover weight, firm weight and non-husked weight. Data analysis. Parameter data obtained were analyzed statistically with 95% variance then continued with Duncan's test at 5% level.
The results of the application of agronomic fertilizer types and dose levels of 2.4 Kg per plot, 4.8 Kg per plot, 7.2 Kg per plot, on sweet corn plants showed the highest growth and production with a better dose level of 7.2 per plot.

Authors: Pánovics Attila , Kovács Áron
Published: May 2024

2023. január 1-jén Horvátország csatlakozott a schengeni övezethez, így megszűnt a személyek határellenőrzése a közös, horvát-magyar határszakaszon is. Ennek köszönhetően könnyebbé vált a közlekedés Baranya, illetve Eszék-Baranya megyék között, ami tovább fog fokozódni az M6-os autópálya 20 km-es zárószakaszának – 2024 első negyedévében tervezett – forgalomba helyezésével. Ebben a helyzetben új lehetőségek nyílnak az említett megyék együttműködésében rejlő, kölcsönös előnyök kiaknázására, amelynek ékes példája lehetne a Pécs és Eszék mellett található regionális repülőterek közötti, határon átnyúló együttműködés kialakítása. A tanulmány a két létesítmény sajátosságait és az eddigi történetük fontos tanulságait járja körül, egy sikeres kooperáció pedig hasznos tapasztalatokkal szolgálhat a többi, jelenleg hasonló problémákkal küzdő regionális repülőtér számára.
Amino acid composition and chemical properties of protein noodles incorporated with cricket (Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer) powder
Authors: Wannasupchue Wannasiri , Wongthahan Peerapong
Published: May 2024

Crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer) are considered a primary meat-alternative protein source. The insects comprise of 58 - 63% high-quality protein rich in essential amino acids. Nowadays, noodles are regularly consumed. Cricket powder-based protein noodles (PNCP) could be a choice for individuals with gluten allergies. In the present work, PNCP 0%, PNCP 15%, and PNCP 30% were assessed. PNCP 30% yielded the optimal nutritional quality in terms of moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, and crude fibre contents. It also contained the highest levels of 18 amino acids. Results also revealed that the noodles incorporated with cricket powder had double aspartic acid content, and increased proline content (3 - 7%) compared to control samples. Statistical analysis demonstrated a direct correlation between increased nutritional quality and the cricket powder amount added. Nevertheless, increasing cricket powder amount affected the colour of the resultant noodles. PNCP 30% yielded the darkest hue amongst the samples with an L* value of 38.21 ± 1.93%. Conversely, PNCP 0% and 15% samples yielded 56.18 ± 0.75 and 45.06 ± 1.66% L* values, respectively. Texture profile analysis also revealed the effects on the tensile strength values of enhancing the cricket powder content. Panellists scored the PNCP samples on a 9-point hedonic scale in a five-dimensional sensory evaluation. PNCP 15% recorded the ideal combination of palatability, appearance, and characteristics. Overall, the present work demonstrated that whilst utilising cricket powder as the alternative protein source in noodles is feasible, an accompanying sensory evaluation is critical to ensure that its incorporation does not compromise consumer acceptance of the final product.

Authors: Song Feifei , Lin Yuan , Li Zhiping , Xie Linna , Chen Liangjun , Jiang Hui , Wu Changbiao , Su Dewei
Published: May 2024

Helvella leucopus, a wild mushroom species, is considered a valuable food by local residents. In the present work, the nutritional value of H. leucopus was evaluated against some commonly cultivated edible and medicinal fungi as controls. H. leucopus showed significantly higher crude protein content. The amino acid composition of H. leucopus met the FAO/WHO ideal protein standard, with the highest ratio of essential amino acid to total amino acid (EAA/TAA) reaching 58.27%. H. leucopus showed the highest correlation with Ganoderma lucidum. The contents of flavour amino acid (FAA) and medicinal amino acid (MAA) in H. leucopus were significantly higher than those in the controls, and a high ratio of branched-chain amino acid to aromatic amino acid (BCAA/AAA) was observed in H. leucopus. The EAA composition of H. leucopus was 54.74%, 1.56- and 1.10-fold higher than that of the FAO/WHO model and the egg model, respectively. On the basis of the amino acid score, nutrition index, and other indices, H. leucopus could be a good protein source rich in amino acids, particularly in EAA and MAA. Therefore, this mushroom species is worthy of further investigation and utilisation, with huge market potential.
Enhanced Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Alkali-Treated Coir Fibres Incorporated with Murraya Koenigii: A Comparative Study of Mono-Layer and Tri-Layer Biocomposites
Authors: Lim Hooi Peng , Bachok Salim , Talib Halimatul Sa'diah
Published: May 2024

This study examined the surface morphology and thermal behaviour of the coir fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii before and after alkaline treatment. The mechanical properties of biocomposites reinforced by the untreated fibres, treated fibres, mono-layer and tri-layer treated fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii were systematically investigated. The experimental results showed significant enhancements in tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness, and impact resistance of the biocomposites reinforced by treated fibres. Notably, the alkaline treatment has produced a rougher surface on coir fibres, promoting improved mechanical interlocking between the fibres and the polyethene matrix. These effects become more significant when murraya koenigii particles are incorporated into the fibres. It was found that the tri-layer treated fibres incorporated with murraya koenigii biocomposites showed higher tensile and flexural strength, superior hardness and impact strength when compared to the mono-layer reinforcement biocomposites. At higher temperatures, the treated fibres showed better thermal stability than the untreated fibres and polyethene. Incorporating murraya koenigii particles increased the thermal resistance of the treated fibres, revealing the potential of this green synthesis approach for the development of thermally stable natural fibre composites.

O Que Falta Saber Quando Falamos em Educação Ambiental Climática? Uma discussão sobre “Os Sete Saberes Necessários para a Educação sobre Mudanças Climáticas”
Authors: Alves Gustavo Biasoli , Carniato de Oliveira Irene , Massaê Kataoka Adriana
Published: May 2024

Este texto apresenta uma resenha do livro Os Sete Saberes Necessários À Educação Sobre As Mudanças Climáticas[1] de autoria de Alfredo Pena-Vega publicado pela Cortez Editora publicado em 2023. O texto traz reflexões dos autores sobre suas interações na entrevista concedida pelo Dr. Alfredo Pena-Vega aos autores, divulgada no Canal Youtube NAPI EMERGÊNCIA CLIMÁTICA- Rede Pesquisa RIPERC [2]. O livro é instigante e desafiador ao propor que compreender as mudanças climáticas e trabalhar com elas de maneira educativa é um compromisso ético dos mais velhos para com os mais novos. Outro aspecto relevante enfatizado no livro é o compromisso ético envolve tanto construir o conhecimento sobre as mudanças climáticas de maneira igualitária entre gerações e povos quanto criar mecanismos para que a voz dos mais novos e dos mais pobres seja ouvida. Isto requer que o conhecimento sobre o que está acontecendo com o clima seja considerado em sua complexidade estanques em que está hoje e compreendido como algo que perpassa toda a atividade e toda a vida human. Toda entrevista e também o livro são enriquecidos com exemplos, discussões e reflexões da atividade do Global Youth Climate Pact, atividade desenvolvida por Pena-Vega em nível global com jovens em idade escolar.

LEGAL SUPPORT FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF SOCIAL AND LABOR CONFLICTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN
Authors: Raziyeva D.B. , Raimbekova Z.Y.
Published: May 2024

Актуальность проведенного исследования предопределена проблемой государственной безопасности, усугубившейся в последнее время в результате усиленных геополитических противостояний. Процессы глобализации создают опасность трансформации локальных конфликтов на уровне организации в крупные столкновения региональных, республиканских и мировых масштабов. В связи с этим, важным фактором в системе управления персоналом на любых уровнях выступает выстраивание диалога, как необходимое условие устойчивого развития общества и государства. Авторы отмечают, что категория конфликта в трудовом законодательстве РК не находит своего закрепления и раскрывается через регламентированные механизмы рассмотрения и разрешения трудовых споров, что по мнению авторов не совсем верно. Авторы подвергают анализу пп.16 п.1 ст.1 ТК РК и предлагают внести в норму дополнение. Авторы выражают уверенность, что система управления социально - трудовыми конфликтами должна развиваться на уровне локального нормотворчества, адаптированного с одной стороны к современным реалиям, с другой стороны к корпоративной культуре каждой организации.

The relevance of the conducted research is predetermined by the problem of state security, which has recently aggravated as a result of intensification of geopolitical confrontations. The processes of globalization create danger of transformation of local conflicts on a level of the organization in large-scale collisions of regional, national and global scales. In this connection, an important factor in personnel management at all levels is the construction of dialogue as a prerequisite for the sustainable development of society and the state. The authors note that the category of conflict in the labour legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan is not enshrined and is revealed through the regulated mechanisms of consideration and resolution of labour disputes, which, in the authors' opinion, is not quite correct. The authors analyse paragraphs. 16 of paragraph 1 of Article 1 of the Labour Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan and propose to make an addition to the rule. The authors express confidence that the system of management of social and labor conflicts should be developed at the level of local rule-making adapted, on the one hand, to modern realities and, on the other hand, to corporate culture of each organization.

Eventuality type predicts temporal order inferences in discourse comprehension
Authors: Marx Elena , Wittenberg Eva
Published: May 2024

One kind of temporal inference in discourse operates over iconicity, such that inferred temporal order follows reported order. In two preregistered experiments (combined N = 930), we asked whether this temporal inference is predictably modulated by linguistic eventuality. Based on event-structural theories of temporal interpretation, stative descriptions, corresponding to cognitively less salient states in the world, should serve as backgrounds for eventive descriptions, locating states earlier in time. Participants read descriptions like Mary got/was married to John. She got/was pregnant and indicated which happened first. Eventuality type of both sentences and reported order were crossed. We find that states tend to be ordered before events, and longer states before shorter states. Our results support a model of discourse comprehension in which eventuality framing is crucial for (temporal) inferences.

Technical note: Challenges in detecting free tropospheric ozone trends in a sparsely sampled environment
Authors: Chang Kai-Lan , Cooper Owen R. , Gaudel Audrey , Petropavlovskikh Irina , Effertz Peter , Morris Gary , McDonald Brian C.
Published: May 2024

Abstract. High-quality long-term observational records are essential to ensure appropriate and reliable trend detection of tropospheric ozone. However, the necessity of maintaining high sampling frequency, in addition to continuity, is often under-appreciated. A common assumption is that, so long as long-term records (e.g., a span of a few decades) are available, (1) the estimated trends are accurate and precise, and (2) the impact of small-scale variability (e.g., weather) can be eliminated. In this study, we show that the undercoverage bias (e.g., a type of sampling error resulting from statistical inference based on sparse or insufficient samples, such as once-per-week sampling frequency) can persistently reduce the trend accuracy of free tropospheric ozone, even if multi-decadal time series are considered. We use over 40 years of nighttime ozone observations measured at Mauna Loa, Hawaii (representative of the lower free troposphere), to make this demonstration and quantify the bias in monthly means and trends under different sampling strategies. We also show that short-term meteorological variability remains a cause of an inflated long-term trend uncertainty. To improve the trend precision and accuracy due to sampling bias, two remedies are proposed: (1) a data variability attribution of colocated meteorological influence can efficiently reduce estimation uncertainty and moderately reduce the impact of sparse sampling, and (2) an adaptive sampling strategy based on anomaly detection enables us to greatly reduce the sampling bias and produce more accurate trends using fewer samples compared to an intense regular sampling strategy.

Authors: Mustofa Kamal Ahmad , Setiafindari Widya
Published: May 2024

Dalam industri penyablonan, terdapat bahan-bahan yang tidak dimurnikan, khususnya afdruk, berbagai jenis cat, dan pelarut. Strategi yang dilakukan perusahaan adalah menimbun komponen yang belum dimurnikan dengan cara membeli secara rutin dalam jumlah yang sama. Hal ini dilakukan karena dinilai bahwa membeli dalam jumlah yang sama akan lebih murah. Namun, permintaan pasar semakin berkurang atau bersifat fluktuatif. Industri ini memiliki kelebihan persediaan bahan mentah hingga 10%, sedangkan pada Elnoss Sablonase diusahakan agar kelebihan tersebut hanya 3%. Metode Hybrid System adalah pengendalian stok antara metode Q dan P. Mixture Framework memiliki titik pemesanan ulang untuk level stok paling ekstrem. Setiap kali dilakukan peninjauan, tidak akan ada permintaan jika posisi stok masih di atas level stok dasar atau titik pemesanan kembali. Namun, jika level stok berada di bawah level stok dasar, permintaan diajukan untuk membangun tingkat stok ke level paling ekstrem, khususnya untuk mencapai tujuan stok. Pengendalian stok bahan baku dengan teknik Hybrid System memiliki biaya yang lebih rendah dan ideal, yaitu Rp 24.309.669. Jika dibandingkan dengan biaya sebenarnya dari strategi perusahaan yang sebesar Rp 25.574.186, hal ini berarti dengan menerapkan teknik Hybrid System dalam pengendalian stok, perusahaan memiliki dana cadangan biaya sebesar Rp 1.264.517 atau 4,94%.

Published: May 2024

The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of both small-sided games (SSG) and short interval running-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) programs over an 8-week period in fostering adaptations in aerobic capacity, change-of-direction abilities, and jumping performances of youth female soccer players. The study involved 48 female youth participants under the age of 19, competing at the regional level, who took part in a randomized controlled trial. Participants were assigned to either the SSG group, the HIIT group, or a control group, which involved regular in-field sessions. Assessments were conducted at baseline and after the 8-week training intervention, measuring aerobic capacity using the 30-15 intermittent fitness test (VIFT), change of direction (COD) using the 5-0-5 test, and jumping performance using the countermovement jump test (CMJ). Time 5 group analysis revealed significant interactions in CMJ (p = 0.005; ηp2= 0.213) and VIFT (p < 0.001; ηp2 = 0.433), although no significant interaction were found in COD deficit (p = 0.246; ηp2 = 0.060). Within-group analysis revealed that SSG significantly improved CMJ (p < 0.001), COD deficit (p < 0.001), and VIFT (p < 0.001). HIIT group also significantly improved CMJ (p = 0.029), COD deficit (p = 0.001), and VIFT (p < 0.001). As conclusion, the study revealed that SSG promoted significantly improvements in VIFT, CMJ and COD deficit, being significantly better than control group, while HIIT was only significantly better than control in VIFT. SSG revealed to be effective approach for favoring key physical attributes of female soccer players, being an interesting and recommended training approach to increase the ecology of the training practice, while favoring physical positive adaptations.

This quantitative study examined the interplay between empathy and prosocial behavior among undergraduate university students. A sample of (N=220) undergraduates from 11 public and private universities of Punjab, Pakistan participated through the online survey. These undergraduate students (ages between 18 to 25 years), were chosen from diverse academic disciplines of selected universities. Prosocial behavior was measured using the Prosocial Behavior Scale (Caprara et al., 2005), and Toronto Empathy Questionnaire (Spreng et al., 2009) was utilized to measure empathy. The study employed convenience sampling technique and utilized SPSS (version 25) for data analysis. Results indicated a significant positive correlation (r =.453**) between prosocial behavior and empathy among undergraduate university students, which means that higher empathy will aid escalation in prosocial behavior. Furthermore, significant gender difference (p=.002**) was found in the level of empathy, female students exhibited higher level of empathy as compared to male students. Conversely, no gender difference was found in the level of pro-social behaviors. moreover, students belonging to the urban areas showed significantly greater level (p=.001**) of pro-social behavior as compared to rural student, while the insignificant difference was seen regarding level of empathy among urban and rural students. These findings will contribute to induce the empathy and pro-social behaviors to create a sustainable society.

Formulation Development of Non-effervescent Floating Pellets of Dried Ferrous Sulphate by Extrusion- Spheronization Technique
Authors: Trivedi Shital , Shah Shreeraj
Published: May 2024

Dried Ferrous Sulphate is commonly used as iron salt for the treatment of iron deficiency by oral route, but conventional products face the problems of poor bioavailability due to its carrier-mediated absorption in an upper gastrointestinal region with a lower residence time at the absorption site and gastrointestinal side effects due to immediate release of the entire dose of an irritant drug which requires higher dosage frequency and prolonged duration of treatment to replenish deficient iron. Gastroretentive floating pellets of Dried Ferrous Sulphate would overcome these problems and to develop them using extrusion-spheronization, various grades of HPMC, ETHOCELTM 100cp along with Gelucire® 43/01 were tried in preliminary batches. Further optimization was done using Central Composite Design by selecting the different ratios of Gelucire® 43/01 and ETHOCELTM 100cp to a drug as formulation variables and spheronization time and speed as process variables, each at 3 levels. PVP K-30 as a binder and Isopropyl alcohol as a solvent were used. Pellets were characterized for average pellet size by sieving, roundness by microscopy, drug content, % drug release in vitro, and floating behaviour. Std run 3 with Gelucire® 43/01 (1.8:1) and ETHOCELTM 100cp (1.6:1), spheronized at 2000 RPM for 5 minutes was considered an optimized formulation which yielded an average pellet size of 868 µm ± 30, pellet roundness of 0.93± 0.02, immediate floating and sustained release for 12 hours in 0.1 N HCl dissolution medium and formulation with these characteristics could result into increased utilization of iron from the administered dose with reduced side effects.
