“BioClay™”: One Step toward the Sustainable and Novel Plant Protection Method
Authors: Vaddoriya Hrushikesh K. , Shelar Vaibhav Babasaheb , Pampaniya Anil , Panwala Anvi
Published: June 2024

World peace depends on global food security with finite resources. In addition to these finite resources, biotic stress poses an additional threat to global food security. Plant breeding is an effective tool for combating biotic stresses. Scientists have developed various genetically modified crops tolerant to plant diseases and insects. However, Development of multiple biotic stress-tolerant cultivars through conventional breeding is a tedious and long-term process. However, the usage of pesticides is a rapid and short-term solution to fight against biotic stresses, but it will result in pesticide residues, which threaten the agricultural product’s export to foreign markets and human health. To meet the UN Sustainable Development Goal 2030, sustainable solutions are needed to stay strong against these biotic stresses. In recent times, scientists have been approaching biotechnology and nanotechnology to counter biotic stresses. This study is solely based on the breakthrough innovation of “BioClay™” or dsRNA-LDH complex as a sustainable and eco-friendly potential for plant protection. “BioClay™” or dsRNA-LDH complex is used to induce RNAi and sustain delivery of dsRNA, which is a sustainable alternative to chemical usage. This technology is found to be prominent against various biotic stresses in plants. This information will be helpful to scientists for further research to fill the gap between previous research. This study also focuses on the future direction of “BioClay™” or dsRNA-LDH complex technology.

Authors: Castro Sieira Ana Cristina , Benincá Danielle , Bortolli Laís , Ortigão Alberto
Published: June 2024

This is a methodology testing study that uses the case history of Vale Mining’s Brumadinho Dam disaster and data from the Barcelona investigation report. This study aims to compare the results of two constitutive models for tailings: CASM and NorSand, running in the finite element program Plaxis 2D. The same senior authors carried out a previous study on four tailings dams and adopted the NorSand model and parameters obtained from piezocone and laboratory tests. Therefore, this paper aims to check if the same methodology would predict the Brumadinho Dam failure. The results show that both methods can predict Brumadinho failure, and the triggering mechanism suggested in the Barcelona report seems to be the cause of failure.

The emergence of lumpy skin disease (LSD) in Bangladesh since 2019 is indeed concerning, and addressing its prevalence and control strategies is crucial for ensuring the health and well-being of cattle and preventing economic losses in farming and livestock. The objective of this study was to evaluate the present situation of LSD and its clinical managemental steps among various farms in Rajshahi district, located in the northwest region of Bangladesh. We collected data from Tanore, Paba, Bagha, Bagmara, Puthia, and Godagari upazilas in Rajshahi district between September 1, 2022 and December 30, 2022. We used a structured questionnaire and observed a total of 39 small farms and 99 cattle. We diagnosed LSD based on the clinical signs outlined in the OIE manual and analyzed the data using Microsoft Office Excel and SPSS statistical software. The study found that LSD had the highest morbidity rate (71.42%), mortality rate (7.14%), and case fatality rate (10%) in Tanore and Puthia upazilas in Rajshahi. Newly mature female animals (2–4 years) showed a higher susceptibility (36.23%) to LSD infection, followed by young bull cattle (2–4 years) at 33.33%. Bull and heifer calves were also susceptible to experiencing fatalities due to the infection of LSD. One of the significant clinical manifestations, Limb swelling, was most prevalent (18.18%) with LSD-positive young, mature cattle (2–4 years). We identified farm hygiene practices as crucial for LSDV distribution, with a higher proportion of LSD-affected cattle (42.43%) on poorly managed farms compared to those with good (1.01%) and medium (25.26%) hygiene practices. Despite the potential benefits of mosquito nets for controlling insects, most animal owners (89.74%) did not use them at night in cattle houses. The economic impact of LSD on the cattle industry underscores the importance of extensive epidemiological studies and the isolation, identification, and genome sequencing of LSDV from samples nationwide.
GENDER DIVERSITY IN BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND AUDIT REPORTS LAG: EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA
Authors: Bintarto Elkabyta Auvianty , Harymawan Iman
Published: June 2024

In numerous countries, the establishment of gender quotas on corporate boards has been widely considered. However, Indonesia is not one of them. The research's purpose is to explore the association between gender diversity on corporate boards and audit report lag with a form of empirical data. From 2012 to 2020, there were 2,937 observations from all publicly traded Indonesian enterprises. The proposed hypothesis is tested with the fixed effect regression approach, and further robustness checks show that the conclusion is robust. The study's findings demonstrated that having gender diversity on the board, in particular on the board of directors, improves the enhancement of the audit report lag. However, if gender diversity occurs in the board of commissioners, it has no effect on the length of the audit report lag. Furthermore, this study also reveals that the audit report latency increases when the company's board achieves maximal diversity. Its first evidence indicates the impact of gender diversity on board firms on audit report lag evidence from Indonesia. The stakeholders will benefit significantly from this study regarding implementing gender diversity on corporate boards.
Eksergijska analiza i poboljšanje performansi potkritičnog ORC za korištenje izduvnih plinova iz bioplinskog CHP
Authors: Ćehajić Nurdin , Fejzić Jasmin
Published: June 2024

U radu je dizajniran i analiziran potkritični regenerativni organski Rankinov ciklus (rORC) za korištenje otpadne toplote iz bioplinskog kogeneracijskog postrojenja (CHP). Dizajnirani rORC u sprezi sa bioplinskim CHP čini hibridni sistem. Na taj način se povećava stepen efikasnosti kroz generisanje dodatne električne i toplotne energije u potkritičnom rORC. Bioplin za bioplinsko CHP je proizveden na farmi muznih krava prvenstveno iz stajnjaka anaerobnom digestijom u fermentoru. Za analizu rORC izabrani su radni fluiditoluen i m-ksilen, koji nakon obavljenog rada moraju zadovoljiti okolišne, sigurnosne i termodinamičke kriterije. Razmatrana su dva scenarija. Prvi scenarij je kada rORC koristi izduvne plinove iz bioplinskog CHP temperature 260 °C i masenog protoka 0,25 kg/s, nakon što su izduvni plinovi u razmjenjivaču plin/voda = 440 °C/85 °C generisali 57 kWt koja se koristi za grijanje supstrata u fermentoru. U drugom scenariju potkritični rORC koristi izduvne plinove temperature 440 °C i masenog protoka 0,25 kg/s. Parametarska analiza i optimizacija će za oba scenarija obuhvatiti neto proizvedene snage, eksergijske efikasnosti, masene protoke, toplotne snage i snage pumpi potkritičnog rORC za maksimalne vrijednosti pritiska i temperature radnih fluida na ulazu u turbinu, uzimajući u obzir sigurnosna i termodinamička ograničenja njihove upotrebe za dati izvor toplote.
Energetski efikasni sistemi za grejanje, ventilaciju i klimatizaciju sa termokompresijom i termalnim skladištenjem
Authors: Gjerasimovski Aleksandar , Gjerasimovska Natasha , Šarevski Vasko
Published: June 2024

U ovom radu je predstavljen koncept toplotnog sistema za grejanje, ventilaciju, klimatizaciju i hlađenje objekata (HVAC) koji se sastoji od kompresorske toplotne pumpe/mašine za hlađenje i jedinice za skladištenje toplote. Toplotna pumpa/mašina za hlađenje se koristi za proizvodnju energije tokom cele godine – zimi za grejanje, a leti za hlađenje. Novoizgrađeni objekti imaju visoku energetsku efikasnost i karakteristični su po tome što je projektni kapacitet postrojenja u režimu grejanja sličan projektovanom kapacitetu postrojenja u režimu hlađenja, što u kombinaciji sa termoakumulacionom jedinicom čini ove sisteme ekonomski isplativijim. Toplotna pumpa, kao generator jeftine energije, koristi se za pokrivanje baznog toplotnog opterećenja, a vrhovi se pokrivaju vršnim generatorom toplote. Delujući kao bazni generator toplote, toplotna pumpa sa znatno manjim kapacitetom od projektovanog, pokriće veliki deo potrebne energije, s obzirom na karakteristike klime centralnog Balkana (izrazito niske temperature u relativno kratkom periodu). Uvođenjem termoakumulacionog uređaja (skladištenje toplote i hlađenja) postižu se značajne prednosti, kao što su smanjeni projektni kapacitet toplotnog sistema, manja količina utrošene električne energije, efikasni režimi rada i dr. Rad generatora toplote/hladnoće u noćne sate, kada je cena struje upola niža nego tokom dana utiče ne samo na račune za struju, već i dovodi do visokih COP-a toplotne pumpe/rashladne mašine. Toplotne karakteristike zgrada analizirane su prema standardnim kriterijumima energetske efikasnosti. Analize se rade prema tehno-ekonomskim kriterijumima, pri čemu je zbir investicionih troškova (cena sistema) i operativnih troškova (potrošnja energije, održavanje i sl.) minimalan. Prikazane su toplotne karakteristike sistema za KGH sa termoakumulacijom u letnjem i zimskom režimu u administrativnoj zgradi u Skoplju. Prikazani su i razmotreni dijagrami ukupne potrošnje energije za hlađenje sistema za KGH u letnjem režimu sa termoakumulacijom i bez nje.

Impact of Colonialism in E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India
Authors: Chansoria Prof. Alok , Syed Dr. Shahewar
Published: June 2024

E.M. Forster’s A Passage to India (1924) is a seminal novel that critiques British colonialism in India during the early 20th century. This article delves into the far-reaching impact of colonialism on the novel’s themes, characters, and narrative structure. Through the characters of Dr. Aziz, Fielding, and Adela, the novel highlights the complexities of cultural exchange, the fragility of human relationships, and the distortions of colonial discourse. The analysis reveals how Forster’s work continues to resonate with contemporary discussions on imperialism, cultural identity, and post colonialism offering valuable insights into the enduring legacy of colonialism.
Charles Darwin, Emily Dickinson and the Evolution of Happiness
Authors: Lopez Sanchez Irene
Published: June 2024

This article explores the interconnected perspectives of Charles Darwin and Emily Dickinson on happiness, offering a comprehensive analysis of their respective contributions to the understanding of this elusive concept. It contextualises Darwin’s and Dickinson’s views within the broader historiography of happiness, juxtaposing them with religious depictions, particularly the Christianisation of the idea. Unlike religious interpretations, Darwin’s discoveries challenged providential design, asserting chance as a governing principle in natural processes. To be more precise, his groundbreaking evolutionary theory, particularly outlined in On The Origin of Species, significantly alter traditional notions of happiness by emphasising the role of emotional and instinctive drives. Besides, this article underscores the impact of Darwin's ideas on Dickinson's scepticism toward religious interpretations of happiness, evident in the alignment of her poetic expressions with the challenges to faith during Darwin's transformative era. By means of examining several of Dickinson’s poems and letters in conjunction with Darwin’s autobiography, it establishes a dialogue between the two figures, revealing Dickinson's nuanced engagement with Darwinian concepts. The exploration extends then to Dickinson's approach to chance, as reflected in her poetic exploration of nature's workings. Likewise, it highlights Darwin's impact on Dickinson's worldview, suggesting that she valued chance as a gift, aligning with his view that chance is indispensable to the origin of new species. Overall, it offers a rich examination of the dynamic interplay between Dickinson's poetic vision and Darwin's scientific insights in shaping the evolving concept of happiness in the nineteenth-century.

Milan Kundera volvió al primer plano. Su última novela, La fiesta de la insignificancia, lo puso de nuevo en el centro de la crítica. Del autor checo se leen, critican y disfrutan sus novelas. Empero, sus ensayos El arte de la novela (1986), Los testamentos traicionados (1993), El telón. Ensayo en siete partes (2005) y Un encuentro (2009), poco se conocen. Escritos con espíritu antidogmático, irreligioso, provocador, asistemático, antiideológico y transgresor, igual que sus relatos, se adentran en la trivialidad de lo cotidiano para explorar los problemas de la existencia humana, y así captar las posibilidades del hombre y de su mundo, para hacernos ver lo que somos y de lo que somos capaces.

Sebagai sebuah negara berkembang, defisiensi gizi, seperti KEP merupakan masalah yang umum terjadi di Indonesia. Salah satu sumber protein yang melimpah di Indonesia adalah ikan. Produksi ikan di Indonesia sendiri terbilang tinggi, namun berbagai faktor menyebabkan tingkat konsumsi ikan di Indonesia masih tergolong rendah. Padahal ikan memiliki berbagai kandungan yang sangat bermanfaat seperti asam lemak tak jenuh, protein yang tinggi, dan lain sebagainya. Pengolahan ikan menjadi produk lain yang dapat menutupi kekurangan ikan dapat dilakukan untuk meningkatkan penerimaan ikan pada kelompok masyarakat yang kurang menyukai ikan. Salah satu pilihan yang dapat dilakukan adalah dengan mengolah ikan menjadi makanan ringan yang praktis. Dengan adanya pilihan untuk mengonsumsi ikan dalam bentuk makanan ringan yang praktis, secara tidak langsung dapat meningkatkan konsumsi ikan nasional. Makanan ringan yang dibuat dengan menggunakan ikan sebagai bahan dasarnya juga memiliki kandungan protein yang cukup tinggi sehingga dapat membantu memenuhi asupan protein dan meminimalisir terjadinya kasus KEP di Indonesia.

Published: June 2024

Minyak atsiri merupakan salah satu produk pangan yang memiliki potensi menjadi suatu komoditas yang unggul. Minyak atsiri dapat diperoleh dari lengkuas. Minyak atsiri dari lengkuas dapat dimanfaatkan menjadi suatu sumber bahan baku flavor dan aroma pada produk pangan. Namun yang menjadi permasalahan adalah jumlah minyak atsiri yang sangat terbatas. Berkisar hanya 1% kandungan minyak atsiri yang bisa dihasilkan dari berat total bahan. Pengeringan menjadi salah satu metode yang banyak dilakukan, karena merupakan metode paling sederhana. Pengeringan dipercaya mampu memberikan solusi untuk mengoptimalkan proses ekstraksi minyak atsiri. Selain itu perlakuan pretreatment kombinasi blanching dan perendaman bahan kimia sebelum pengeringan digunakan untuk menambah nilai optimasi ekstraksi minyak atsiri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kombinasi pretreatment dan pengeringan terhadap kadar minyak atsiri lengkuas. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan membandingkan tiga perlakuan untuk melihat perbedaan kadar optimasi minyak atsiri lengkuas terbaik.

A disaster resilience-based approach for sustainable development: An example for managing the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: D’Andrea Alessia , Grifoni Patrizia , Ferri Fernando
Published: June 2024

This paper provides a disaster resilience-based approach. For the definition of the approach, a three-step method (definition of components, analysis of the resilience pillars and definitions of resilience-based actions) has been followed. To validate the approach, an application scenario for mitigating the COVID-19 pandemic is provided in the paper. The proposed approach contributes to stimulating the co-responsibility quadruple helix of actors in the implementation of actions for disaster management. Moreover, the approach is adaptable and flexible, as it can be used to manage different kinds of disasters, adjusting or changing itself to meet specific needs.
A commercial whole blood polymerase chain reaction assay failed to diagnose histoplasmosis in cats confirmed by cytology or urine antigen detection
Authors: Sebastian Jamie F. , Harkin Kenneth R. , Hanzlicek Andrew S.
Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the sensitivity and specificity of a commercial whole blood real-time PCR assay (RT-PCR) for the diagnosis of histoplasmosis when compared to direct organism identification and/or urine antigen quantification by enzyme immunoassay (UA-EIA). A secondary objective was to compare the sensitivity and specificity of RT-PCR to anti–Histoplasma immunoglobulin G antibody detection by enzyme immunoassay (IgG-EIA) and IgG-EIA to UA-EIA.

ANIMALS

Cats presented to the Kansas State University Veterinary Health Center from February through September of 2023 in which histoplasmosis was diagnosed or suspected.

METHODS

From February through September of 2023, cats were tested by RT-PCR, IgG-EIA, and UA-EIA if histoplasmosis was diagnosed cytologically or was a differential diagnosis for the presenting clinical signs. Cats were excluded if all 3 tests were not submitted or if the diagnosis of histoplasmosis could not be excluded despite a negative UA-EIA result. Cats with cytologically or histologically confirmed histoplasmosis were designated as proven histoplasmosis cases, and cats with a positive UA-EIA result without cytological or histological confirmation were designated as probable histoplasmosis cases.

RESULTS

10 cats were diagnosed with either proven (n = 6) or probable (4) histoplasmosis, and 10 cats were considered true negatives. Whole blood RT-PCR results were negative in all 20 cats (sensitivity, 0%; 95% CI, 0% to 30.85%). The IgG-EIA was 90% sensitive (95% CI, 55.50% to 99.75%) and 70% specific (95% CI, 34.75% to 93.33%). The UA-EIA results were positive in all cats with proven histoplasmosis.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This commercial RT-PCR is insensitive when used on whole blood collected in EDTA and should not be used to diagnose feline histoplasmosis. Further studies are required to determine whether alternate RT-PCR protocols for EDTA-collected whole blood could be useful for diagnosing histoplasmosis in cats.
God in John’s Apocalypse
Authors: Bandy Alan
Published: June 2024

The book of Revelation is resoundingly theocentric and intensively monotheistic from first to last. The presence and person of God the Father permeates and punctuates the vision at every turn as the central character orchestrating all things according to his purposes. This theocentric character of the Apocalypse, however, is often overshadowed by its extremely pronounced Christology. One possible reason is because John does not consign Christology to a separate category of theology. But from the very outset God is unambiguously identified as the ultimate sovereign ruler of the universe. Revelation attributes a functional distinction between Father and Son, but they equally receive worship and are ascribed as worthy of worship.

Published: June 2024

Objectives: The objective of this paper is to study the impact of governance mechanisms on the quality of the external audit of Moroccan companies listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange.
 
Methods: The study was based on a sample of 47 companies evaluated as part of our research for the 2022 financial year.
 
Results: The results of our tests showed that governance mechanisms have a heterogeneous impact on audit quality. We note the importance of the size of the board of directors, the presence of outside directors, and the duality of the board in guaranteeing better audit quality. However, the expertise of audit committees and the concentration of capital in the hands of a minority lead to a deterioration in audit quality. For the control variables, the size and age of the company are two opposing factors: size stimulates the quality of the audit, while age remains a factor that hinders this quality. Finally, debt is a variable without any influence.
 
Conclusion: Governance mechanisms play a significant role in determining the quality of external audits among Moroccan companies listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange. While certain factors such as board size and the presence of outside directors enhance audit quality, others like audit committee expertise and concentrated capital ownership have negative impacts. Additionally, company size positively influences audit quality, whereas company age has a detrimental effect, with debt showing no significant influence.

This retrospective study includes 20 cats and 90 dogs brought to the Surgical Clinic of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Animal Hospital with various diseases between January and June 2023. In addition to routine eye examinations, neuro-ophthalmological examinations (nystagmus, strabismus, pupillary light reflex, palpebral reflex, corneal reflex, menace reflex, dazzle reflex) were performed on the patients, and the results of neuro-ophthalmological and routine eye examinations were evaluated retrospectively. Of the cats examined, 55% had pathology on routine ophthalmologic examination and 45% had pathology on neuro-ophthalmologic examination. Pathology was detected in 52.22% of dogs on routine ophthalmologic examination and 22.22% on neuro-ophthalmologic examination. One dog with microphthalmia could not be examined. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of neuroophthalmological diseases in dogs and cats. This study showed that many neuro-ophthalmological diseases are likely to be overlooked during the examination, and diagnosis may be difficult. Therefore, neuroophthalmological examinations should be added to routine ophthalmological examinations.
Agricultural Land Pawning as a Social Institution in Wono Agung Village Tulang Bawang District
Authors: Raswanto Raswanto , Sumarja FX , Yuniati Ati
Published: June 2024

Agricultural land pawning, as outlined in Law No. 56/1960 on the Determination of Agricultural Land Area, is characterized as a collateral transaction where agricultural land is mortgaged or pledged. Social institutions can play a key role in this process, acting as facilitators for loan provisions against land collateral and helping to evaluate and understand the motivations behind agricultural land pawning. This research adopts an empirical normative approach to assess the practice. The findings reveal that agricultural land pawning in Wono Agung Village is conducted in two principal manners: verbally and in writing, aligning with the stipulations of Article 7 of Law Number 5 of 1960. The residents of Wono Agung Village typically engage in pawning their agricultural land for several reasons, including the need for capital, education expenses, expansion of agricultural land, general economic difficulties, and other urgent necessities. Challenges in the implementation of agricultural land pawning arise from issues involving both the pawn recipients and the landowners. Despite these obstacles, agricultural land pawning functions effectively as a social institution, offering a viable solution to the economic struggles faced by the villagers. These social institutions play a pivotal role in enhancing the welfare and economic conditions of the agricultural community in Wono Agung Village.
