O uso de biofertilizantes vem numa crescente nos últimos anos, pois proporcionam uma diminuição na utilização de fertilizantes químicos, bem como promovem o crescimento da planta, a fixação biológica de nitrogênio e a solubilização de fósforo, desencadeando em uma maior produtividade das culturas e impactando na saúde do solo. As bactérias simbióticas podem ser divididas em associativas (formando nódulos, por exemplo) ou de vida livre. Toda bactéria fixadora de nitrogênio é diazotrófica, podendo ser simbióticas ou não. Dentre as diversas bactérias, as do gênero Azospirillum, Pseudomonas e Bacillus, tem proporcionado diversos ganhos para as gramíneas forrageiras. Os benefícios provenientes do uso das bactérias promotoras de crescimento de plantas podem ser diversos, podendo contribuir com o crescimento da forrageira, possibilitando a melhoria na aquisição de nutrientes por meio da solubilização de fósforo, fixação biológica de nitrogênio, síntese de fitohormônios e produção de sideróforos. A utilização dessas bactérias promovem o crescimento das plantas, além de colaborar para um sistema agropecuário sustentável, melhorando a produtividade e eficiência produtiva. No entanto, é de extrema importância avançar em pesquisas relacionadas ao uso de biofertilizantes em pastagens tropicais.

THE ROLE OF SELF-CONTROL IN SELF-DISCLOSURE AMONG GENERATION Z TIKTOK USERS
Authors: Nawangsari Sri , Huda Nurul , Aulia Puspita Arnetta Dinda
Published: February 2025

An individual's effort to express their feelings, emotions, and personal data to others is known as self-disclosure, while self-control is the ability to manage one's emotions, thoughts, and behavior in order to avoid conflict and encourage positive actions. This study aims to examine the impact of self-control on self-disclosure among Generation Z TikTok users. The research method is quantitative, using incidental sampling, and data was collected through a questionnaire with Likert scale measurements distributed to 300 respondents. The study employs simple regression analysis with the help of the Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 22.0 for Windows to understand the influence of self-control on self-disclosure in Gen Z TikTok social media users. The hypothesis test results show a high significance with a value of 0.000 (p<0.01) and an F table value of 3.87, indicating that the hypothesis is accepted because the calculated F value is greater than the F table value. This suggests a strong influence of self-control on self-disclosure. The R² value of 0.569 indicates that self-control influences self-disclosure by 56.9%, while the remaining 43.1% is influenced by factors outside the scope of the study. Based on the self-control variable viewed by the respondent's gender, it was found that gender does not affect the level of self-control. Meanwhile, the age category suggests that a stable age period requires good self-control to face external challenges.

Expanding boundaries in stroke treatment: New horizons in revascularization strategies and critical decision-making
Authors: Amisano Paolo , Andrighetti Marco , Toni Danilo
Published: February 2025

Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and long-term disability worldwide, emphasizing the need for rapid and effective acute management. Revascularization therapies are critical to this strategy, demanding swift intervention. Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with alteplase (ALT) was traditionally recommended within 4.5 h from symptom onset for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. However, landmark studies, such as ECASS IV, EXTEND, and EPITHET have demonstrated that IVT may be extended up to 9 h in select patients, identified through perfusion imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, enabling differentiation of viable, at-risk brain tissue in the ischemic penumbra from the infarct core. This allows treatment in cases with favorable “mismatch” profiles, Similarly, endovascular procedures for large vessel occlusions (LVOs) were initially recommended within 6 h, but trials, such as DEFUSE-3 and DAWN have established efficacy for thrombectomy up to 16 – 24 h from the last known well time, using perfusion imaging to guide patient selection. These advancements prioritize tissue viability over rigid temporal thresholds. Despite significant progress, optimal revascularization strategies for AIS remain uncertain in complex clinical contexts, such as posterior circulation strokes, large infarct core AIS, distal vascular occlusions, and mild clinical deficit LVO-related AIS. Recent research aims to address these gaps, expanding reperfusion criteria and exploring new thrombolytic agents with potential benefits over ALT. Collectively, these studies aim to refine and broaden therapeutic criteria, improving outcomes for a wider AIS patient population.
New method for statistical analysis of climate time series
Authors: Zeltz Eric
Published: February 2025

After publishing four articles utilizing a new method for the statistical study of climate time series, we found it useful to provide a detailed review of the method itself, which is the primary objective of this work. Unlike the methods most commonly used by scientists analyzing such data, this new method does not seek to identify trends for explorative forecasts. Instead, it enables the detection of precise signals indicating interactions with other climate entities, thereby enhancing our understanding of the underlying phenomena. As illustrated through three example articles, the mechanisms uncovered using this method can be integrated into a mathematical model. The simulations thus obtained are more deterministic than stochastic – a significant advantage for producing high-quality forecasts in the context of global warming. Even if this was the sole application of the method, it would be sufficient to demonstrate its value. However, as a final example detailed in this work shows, reconsidering the original series using different periods (e.g., month, quarter, semester, year) can further refine our understanding of the mechanisms at play. We conclude this work by exploring the potential applicability of this method for analyzing non-climatic temporal data series.
Development and Performance Evaluation of Push Type Manually Operated Hilling
Corn with Double Wheel Hoe
Authors: Milufarzana Milufarzana
Published: February 2025

Bangladesh is a small country having huge population. More food must be produced daily to
keep up with the expanding population. To fulfill the demand, we must increase crop yield
by adopting the high farming techniques. After rice and wheat, maize is the most significant
crop in the world and one of the country's most significant cereal crops. Currently, there is
a large discrepancy between the amount of maize produced (4,700 thousand tons) and the
yearly consumption (about two million tons) in Bangladesh. Designing and fabricating a
manually operated push-type hilling corn machine with a double-wheel hoe and assessing
the machine's technical and economic performance were the goals of the study. Corn hiller
is farming implement used to create hills or ridges of soil around corn plants. Its additional
task is to eradicate weeds from the corn fields. Although manual weeding is a popular
practice in Bangladesh, but it is labor-intensive and presents significant challenges for
farmers. So, this problem can be reduced by using this machine. The travelling speed of the
machine was found 1.68 km/hr. The effective field capacity was 0.057 ha/hr, while the
theoretical field capacity was 0.077 ha/hr. The machine's field efficiency was 74.0%. The
turning loss and weeding efficiency of the machine were 25.7% and 69.4% respectively. The
machine is easy to use and doesn't require an experienced operator. Since no fuel was used
to run this machine, it did not produce any pollutants.
As dialéticas do comum e o capitalismo mais que tardio
Authors: Amadeu da Silveira Sérgio
Published: February 2025

O texto analisa o avanço da extrema-direita em meio a um capitalismo em crise que falha em oferecer perspectivas de futuro. Inspirando-se em Gramsci, destaca que, enquanto o sistema atual agoniza, abre espaço para o surgimento do neofascismo. O texto defende a criação de experimentos comunais, que demonstrem a viabilidade de modos de vida alternativos ao capitalismo, baseados na solidariedade e na produção do comum. Rejeita a ideia de que apenas a tomada do poder estatal destruirá o capitalismo, propondo uma transformação que emerja das contradições internas do sistema, assim como ocorreu com o feudalismo. Enfim, sugere que a construção de novas formas de vida colaborativas e solidárias é crucial para superar o modelo capitalista vigente.

Published: February 2025

Rural women in Vietnam face unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to entrepreneurship. This study aims to examine the impact of different factors influencing women’s entrepreneurial intentions in rural areas of Vietnam. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) model was employed to test the research hypotheses and evaluate the proposed research model using data collected from a survey of 366 rural women in Quang Ninh and Son La provinces in North Vietnam, representative of plains, midlands, and mountainous areas. The research findings indicate that all independent variables positively influence the entrepreneurial intentions of rural Vietnamese women to varying degrees. In rural areas, women’s decision to start a business is primarily influenced by the availability of capital, which has the most significant impact (beta = 0.290). This is followed by perceived behavioral control (beta = 0.197), attitude towards entrepreneurship (beta = 0.189), government support policies they have received (beta = 0.159), level of knowledge and experience (beta = 0.154), and subjective norms (beta = 0.139) from others. The results of this study offer valuable insights for policymakers, business communities, and female entrepreneurs themselves. Relevant organizations, including ministries, departments, and local governments, should devise and implement targeted strategies to inspire and enhance entrepreneurial intentions among women in rural areas of Vietnam.
On homeomorphisms with a fixed point onto domains with a Poincaré inequality
Authors: Dovhopiatyi Olexandr P. , Sevost'yanov Evgeny O.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of homeomorphisms with one normalization condition, which act onto some Ahlfors regular domain with a Poincaré inequality and distort the modulus of families of paths according to the Poletsky inequality. We consider the case when the majorant from the above inequality has finite averages over infinitesimal balls. We have obtained the H\"{o}lder boundary continuity of such homeomorphisms provided that the image of at least one inner point is located at a fixed distance from the boundary of the mapped domain. In the manuscript, we have considered the cases of good boundaries and domains with prime ends.

Authors: AlKhafaji Marwa H. , Mohsin Raghdan H. , Kadhim Mokhtar Jawad
Published: February 2025

Sustainability, Ecofriendly, and green technology are key principles guiding the biosynthesis of nanoparticles in this research.  This work aimed to utilize Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) as antimicrobial agents, what offers a promising solution to combat antibiotic-resistant pathogens. In this study, 120 food samples were analyzed. Food origin Citrobacter freundii was isolated and identified accurately to be used then for the biosynthesis of Iron oxide nanoparticles. Iron Oxide Nanoparticles were synthesized and characterized using different assays. Atomic force microscope was the principle characterization technique. Their antimicrobial activity was tested against foodborne and clinical bacterial isolates. The results of this study revealed that the biosynthesized IONPs were in a diameter of 32.86 nm with magnetic properties. The biosynthesized IONPs inhibited the biofilm formation of both food and clinical isolates. The main conclusion of this work is that food origin C. freundii is an excellent reducing agent in the biosynthesis of these bioactive nano-scale materials. This research is the first to synthesize Ferric oxide NPs using C. freundii marking a new approach in the field.  Clinical C. freundii required a higher IO-NPs dose more than foodborne isolates. This calls for stronger therapies, while foodborne C. freundii still poses contamination risks despite lower resistance. Addressing both could improve antimicrobial treatments and food safety.

Activities and Characteristics of bandits in Manchuria(滿洲) and Yeonhaedo(沿海島) around 1920
Authors:   The Bukak Historical Society, Oh Se-ho
Published: February 2025

This study examines the activities and political characteristics of the Manchuria and Yeonhaedo(沿海島)’s bandits in the area around 1920.
During the 1910-1920’s period, Manchuria and Yeonhaedo’s bandits has been used as a major material in literary works as well as in popular media such as movies and dramas since Japanese colonial era to the present day. In this process, bandits used as an image of ‘a lawless group that operates sporadically and individually to make monetary gains’. However, like the evaluation of Korean participants who participated independence movement in the Far east Russia around 1920, bandits formed political relations with the Japanese imperialism and acted as a united military group in response to change to changes in the situation.
The bandits, which was active in Manchuria around 1920, began to transform into a large-scale bandits in the 1910s, closely related to political events such as the Sino-Japanese War, the Russo-Japanese War, and the 1911 Revolution etc. In this process, some bandits in the Yeonhado region worked closely with Japanese bandits, and the military group of Japanese intervention in Siberia. The case of Jang Gang-ho’s bandits, which attacked Korean armed independence movement forces in the West Gando region in 1920, and Gosan badits, which led the second Hunchun incident. These activities of the bandits greatly influenced the Korean independence movement and the Korean community in the Yeonhado area during the ‘Independence War in 1920’.
The forced mobilization narrative projected in the drama “Eyes of Dawn” : Focusing on the depiction of mobilization to the Saipan island
Authors:   The Bukak Historical Society, Kim Myung-hwan
Published: February 2025

In this article, we analyzed the part depicting the mobilization of Saipan Island in order to examine the narrative of forced mobilization projected in the drama “Eyes of Dawn.” Through this analysis, we attempted to explore the coexistence of the two by examining how historical facts affect creative works that are products of imagination.
The most difficult thing when history meets creative works is that it is “fiction.” “Eyes of Dawn” is no different. We can see that the premise itself is almost fiction. However, we cannot say that the struggles of Choi Dae-chi and Jang Ha-rim depicted in the drama are all fiction and completely creative. This is because many episodes used in the drama were created based on the experiences of actual student soldiers.
The same tendency is found in the depiction of the mobilization of Saipan Island depicted in “Eyes of Dawn.” In other words, the Japanese army moving to Saipan, the existence of Japanese military comfort stations, and the POW camps established after the war are all based on historical facts. However, when we go into the details, there are many points that are depicted differently from reality. This means that it is fiction based on facts.
There are also some obvious historical facts that are not reflected in the drama. In the case of Saipan, there were hundreds of Korean laborers during the war, and many Korean military personnel were mobilized in anticipation of the war. However, this was not reflected at all in the drama. It can be interpreted as a phenomenon that occurred because history failed to provide accurate facts to the creators, and it is thought to be a passage that shows what is necessary for the coexistence of the two.
“Eyes of Dawn” was a work that set a new milestone in Korean TV dramas. Many people still remember it despite the gap in time, and it had a great influence on forming images related to modern and contemporary Korean history in their minds. Therefore, a critical review and approach to the reality of modern and contemporary Korean history projected in the drama, specifically the issue of forced mobilization of Koreans, is necessary.
Misleading nomenclature in the IARC Monographs Programme: a straightforward solution to improve accuracy and clarity
Authors: López-Lázaro Miguel
Published: February 2025

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) Monographs Programme plays an important role in cancer prevention by identifying potential carcinogenic hazards. However, the terminology used in IARC’s classifications and Monographs can confuse the public, health professionals, and policymakers. Terms like “carcinogenic to humans” imply causation, although classifications only indicate increased risk under certain conditions. For example, the lifetime incidence of mesothelioma among firefighters is approximately 14 in 10,000, compared to 7 in 10,000 in the general population. Despite doubling the risk, occupational exposure as a firefighter does not cause this type of cancer in 9,986 out of 10,000 firefighters. However, the IARC concludes that “occupational exposure as a firefighter causes mesothelioma” (IARC Working Group on the Identification of Carcinogenic Hazards to Humans. Occupational Exposure as a Firefighter. Lyon: IARC; 2023. pp. 1–730. PMID: 37963216). In addition, the lack of essential information about dosage and context in the IARC carcinogen lists can lead to agents with health benefits under certain conditions (e.g., solar radiation, red meat consumption, approved drugs) being perceived as universally harmful, discouraging beneficial exposures, behaviors, or treatments. Here, I propose renaming the groups of agents classified by the IARC and adding basic labels to specific agents to improve the accuracy and interpretability of the IARC classification lists. These adjustments do not interfere with the IARC’s objective of identifying potential hazards, are easy to implement, and enhance accuracy and clarity, providing stronger support to guide cancer prevention strategies.

The insurance market is highly competitive, which makes customer acquisition difficult and expensive. Any plan that focuses on long-term customer retention and loyalty rather than one-time purchases should be considered. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between marketing architecture and client loyalty in Lagos State, Nigeria's insurance industry. Data were collected from insurance buyers using a structured questionnaire, and 1,312 valid responses were received. Exploratory factor analysis using main component extraction and an average variance explanation proved the validity of the variables. As in the last example, the constructs' Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.76 0.90. The data analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics (multiple linear regression). Research indicates that relationship marketing significantly affects client loyalty in insurance companies. Relationship marketing explains 47% of insurance client loyalty differences, according to an Adjusted R2 of 0.470. This leaves 53% of the changes predicted by the other factors.

In insurance, relationship marketing structures, such as customer awareness, trust, service quality, customization, product innovation, and customer pleasure, have been shown to increase client loyalty. Insurance businesses and practitioners should use relationship marketing to enhance consumer loyalty. Although this study focuses on the Nigerian insurance sector, future researchers can replicate and extend the findings to other service-oriented organizations.

Published: February 2025

This study discusses the impact of digital business on the modern business world. The rise of online shopping and selling has transformed the way businesses operate and interact with customers. With the help of several websites such as Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, Nykaa, Tata 1 mg, Netmeds, Firstcry.com, and various forms of media, businesses are now able to offer a wide range of products to consumers without having to physically travel to the location of goods. The paper highlights that the use of e-business in a business unit can result in either profits or losses for that particular business unit. However, a closer examination revealed that the benefits of digital business outweigh the negative effects. The review cites poll results, showing that firms that use Internet devices as a promotional medium have better sales growth than enterprises that employ traditional formats. Moreover, the study emphasizes the availability of thousands of suppliers and millions of buyers in the digital business market, allowing them to purchase goods that meet their needs. This situation demonstrates that digital business has evolved into a business that has a significant impact on entrepreneurship, resulting in a model and format that is significantly more flexible and accessible to all consumer sectors, regardless of location. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the significant impact of digital business on the modern business world, resulting in a more efficient and effective manner of living, with benefits outweighing negative effects. Businesses that embrace digital business can access a vast market and create new opportunities that would otherwise not have been possible. The study highlights that digital business has become a crucial component for businesses to thrive in the current economic climate, and those who fail to adopt digital business strategies may be left behind in a highly competitive market.

Authors: Bozeman James R. , Garcia Jesus E. , Gonzalez-Lopez V. A.
Published: February 2025

It is well known what sequences of bases in DNA are potentially in the left-handed form, i.e. prone to be in the Z-DNA conformation. In particular, d(GC)n > d(CA)n > d(CGGG)n > d(AT )n. These Z-DNA forming sequences (ZFS) have been found in the full DNA sequences of SARS CoV-2, rodent parvoviruses, salmonella, and some carcinogens. During a Short Term Scientific Mission (STSM, see the Introduction) we examined the stochastic profiles of such sequences in the FASTA format to determine the probability of these occurring. In the sequences studied we found CA more prevalent than GC, and also AT more common than CGGG. Novelly, we found such sequences in the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which to the best of our knowledge had not been thoroughly checked previously for ZFS, and we calculated the probabilities of those subsequences occurring. Note that in the EBV case, GC pairs were more prevalent than CA pairs. We also checked Dengue and HIV for potential ZFS and found many potential sites in HV8. Finally, we present our current work, including implications for the 3-D conformation of the DNA molecule and applying the idea of microsatellites to the repeated sequences known to be in left-handed form, especially since these inform an analysis of the possible transition sites from the B-form of DNA to the Z-form, and vice versa. These transitions at CG pairs have been the most studied, but the flips seem to happen more at TG sites. AT pairs are also possible. As above, we find the probabilities of potential B-Z transitions at these locations using our methodology. Our results can help researchers hone in on the regions in genomes where Z-DNA formation is likely.
The Enduring Conflict in Somalia: Analyzing the Dynamics of Instability and the Path to Sustainable Peace
Authors: Zoia Malik
Published: February 2025

Somalia has faced prolonged instability for over three decades, ranking among the least peaceful nations in the Global Peace Index 2024. This essay examines the origins and dynamics of the Somali conflict, analyzing its historical, political, economic, and social dimensions. Rooted in colonial legacies and clan-based divisions, the conflict intensified under Siad Barre’s authoritarian regime and escalated into civil war following his ousting in 1991. The rise of militant groups like Al-Shabaab, external interventions, and weak governance have further complicated peace efforts. Somalia remains deeply affected by militarization, human displacement, terrorism, and transnational crime, with its economic and social structures in turmoil. Despite some improvements in security indicators, such as a lower terrorism ranking, fundamental challenges persist. The study employs the GPI framework to assess Somalia’s conflict trajectory, highlighting the need for sustained peacebuilding measures. Achieving lasting stability requires addressing both direct violence and structural inequalities to foster national unity and governance reform.

Flipped Classroom Model and Cultural Approach: Modern Teaching Strategies for English Literature
Authors:   PhD student, Samarkand state university named after Sharof Rashidov, Uzbekistan, Ibodullayevna Allamurodova Sabohat
Published: February 2025

The flipped classroom model transforms English literature education by reversing traditional teaching paradigms. Students engage with new content outside the classroom through video lectures or readings, allowing in-class sessions to focus on discussions and interactive activities. This approach fosters active learning, critical thinking, and deeper literary analysis while enhancing cultural understanding. Integrating multimedia resources further enriches engagement, though challenges such as digital accessibility and motivation disparities remain. By adopting inclusive strategies, educators can maximize the model’s potential, creating a more dynamic and student-centered learning environment.
