Pembangunan pertanian di Indonesia merupakan tugas berat yang tidak bisa dimaknai sebagai tanggungjawab pemerintah semata. Kolaborasi yang bersifat penta-helix untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan kuantitas pembangunan pertanian di Indonesia merupakan prasyarat yang wajib dipenuhi demi tercapainya cita-cita bersama. Di Indonesia, organisasi tani telah mengambil tempat dalam banyak momentum sejarah, khususnya dalam berbagai gerakan agraria dari masa ke masa. Sajogyo (1965) menyebutkan bahwa organisasi tani merupakan salah satu elemen yang berjasa dalam mempelopori riset awal sosiologi pedesaan dan gerakan tani pada masa awal kemerdekaan. Meski demikian, sampai saat ini nasib sebagian besar petani masih belum kunjung sejahtera. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat strategi dan upaya yang dilakukan organisasi petani untuk peningkatkan kesejahteraan keluarga petani. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik kritis untuk mengkaji peran serta organisasi tani melalui program dan layanan yang diberikan kepada anggota, serta sejauh mana kecenderungan program dan layanan tersebut berkorelasi dengan kebijakan pembangunan pertanian secara nasional. Penelitian ini fokus pada 5 (lima) organisasi tani yang tergabung dalam Asia Pacific Farmers’ Programme (APFP): Aliansi Petani Indonesia (API), Serikat Petani Indonesia (SPI), Jaringan Masyarakat Tani (JAMTANI), Wahana Masyarakat Tani (WAMTI) dan Serikat Nelayan Indonesia (SNI). Penelusuran informan dilakukan dengan teknik snowball dan pengumpulan data dengan teknik wawancara mendalam. Analisis dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan pendekatan dialektik dan trialektik. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa diperlukan penguatan program dan layanan yang tidak hanya dirahkan pada peningkatan produktivitas pertanian, tetapi juga pada penurunan beban pengeluaran keluarga petani, sehingga penghidupannya lebih berkelanjutan.

We investigated the radiation damage process of commercially available light-emitting diode (LED) lightings in an X-ray radiation environment such as the electron storage ring SPring-8. It was found that metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) in the LED power supplies were damaged by X-ray irradiation by a total dose effect greater than several hundred Gy (air kerma). To visualize the whole damage process, we performed in situ measurement of the MOSFET under an irradiation from an X-ray tube. The result clearly showed a sudden increase of the off-state drain current accompanied by a sharp increase of MOSFET temperature as a function of radiation dose, which eventually caused the device failure. We supposed from the result a significant increase in device lifetime by switching off the LED power supply and experimentally verified it by observing the increase of lifetime by an order of magnitude or more under the same irradiation condition.

Published: June 2022

Various types of fiber-optic temperature sensors have been developed on the basis of modal interference in multimode fibers, which include not only glass fibers but also polymer optical fibers (POFs). Herein, we investigate the spectral patterns of the modal interference in multi-core POFs (originally developed for imaging) and observe their unique temperature dependencies with no clear frequency shift or critical wavelength. We then show that, by machine learning, the modal interference in the multi-core POFs can be potentially used for highly accurate temperature sensing with an error of ∼0.3 °C.

Published: June 2022

Flocculation using polyacrylamides is one of the most promising methods of industrial wastewater treatment. The aim of our research was to estimate the efficiency of the use of new types of polyacrylamide-based flocculants for industrial wastewater treatment. The objects of the study were the wastewaters of the enterprise LLC “Saratov Chemical Plant of Acrylic Polymers “ACRYPOL” and several flocculants (water-soluble polymers) obtained on the basis of acrylamide, acrylic acid and chitosan. It was established that the optimal dose of nonionic flocculant H600™ was 5 mg/dm3. Industrial wastewater treatment efficiency was studied on two samples of weakly cationic flocculants (215-2 and 233-2) synthesized in a laboratory way, as well as on a sample of nonionic flocculant H600™. It was found that the tested flocculants had no significant effect on the pH value and the content of sulfate ions in water. Flocculant 233-2 with the highest chitosan content was the best in terms of chemical oxygen demand, dry residue and the amount of suspended solids. Flocculant 215-2 with the lowest chitosan content had a slightly worse performance. The worst of the tested flocculants was the nonionic H600™, which does not contain chitosan.
Origin and evolution of the Volga mountain oak forests
Authors: Blagoveshenskaya N. V.
Published: June 2022

Based on our analysis of the spore-pollen complexes of the Holocene, the controversial issue of the primary origin of the Volga mountain oak forests of the Volga Upland has been resolved. The main stages of their formation have been restored, namely: “tundra-steppe” with wormwood-haze, horsetail and fern cenoses (forest zone 10, 10,300–9,300 years ago); cereal-forb, wormwood and wormwood-haze steppes, steppe sparse birch forests (zone 9, 9,300–8,500 years ago); gramineous-forb and sod-gramineous steppes and very sparse birch woodland (zone 8, 8,500−8,000 years ago); birch forests and grass-forb steppes, the emergence of the Volga upland oak forests (zone 7, 8,000–6,000 years ago); the formation and flowering of oak forests (zones 6– 4, 6,000–2,500 years ago); stepping and thinning of deciduous forests and sod-grass steppes with a noticeable participation of weed and cultivated species, the emergence of the first agrocenoses (zone 3, 2,500–700 years ago); and the emergence of secondary undergrowth birch forests, oak forests, lime forests and aspen forests. Secondary meadow and sandy steppes with an abundance of weed species (ruderal, pasqual and segetal). The emergence of secondary steppes in the place of deforestation. Expansion of agrocenoses (zone 2, 700–300 years ago); reduction in the area of Volga upland oak forests, massive introduction of maple and, singly, pine (zone 1, 300 years ago – to the present). It has been concluded that the Volga upland oak forests are the native vegetation formation of the Volga Upland, formed about 6,000 years ago, long before the beginning of human economic activity. The modern appearance of this territory was formed about 400–300 years ago, with the beginning of the mass development of the territory.
Peculiarities and results of transport noise monitoring with the example of the Samara region of Russia
Authors: Vasilyev A. V.
Published: June 2022

Problems of transport noise monitoring are considered. Existing approaches to transport noise monitoring have a number of disadvantages. The influence of the noise from transport and other sources on the public health was estimated. The results show a reliable, statistically significant dependence of the population illness growth on acoustical pollution. A new system of transport noise monitoring is suggested and approved in conditions of the Samara region of Russia. This system has a number of advantages for acoustic research. The acoustic characteristics of separate vehicles and their spectral values were investigated as well. Analysis of our measurement results of the transport noise from cars of different kinds shows that the most significant noise values are observed within a low frequency range. Thus, when reducing transport noise down to appropriate hygienic values, special attention should be paid to reduction of the low-frequency component of noise.
Use of Internet resources to estimate the abundance of species contacting with humans (with an example of the common hamster (Cricetus cricetus L., 1758) (Cricetidae, Rodentia))

Published: June 2022

Meta-analysis of the spontaneous activity of Internet users is proposed as an alternative to traditional methods of counting the number of species which people often encounter in their lives. Using the wordstat.yandex.ru tool the statistics of search queries on the topic of struggle against the common hamster (Cricetus cricetus L., 1758) as an agricultural pest was collected for  4 years. The tool allows tying the obtained data array to particular administrative subjects. As a result, a “pest map” of the species (equivalent to its relative abundance) was compiles. Our comparison of these data with those obtained earlier for the furs harvest (1950s) has allowed us to reveal trends in its changes by provinces. It is supposed that search statistic analysis is an underestimated resource, which would allow one to effectively obtain information on the abundance and distribution not only of the common hamster, but also of other species frequently contacting with humans (brown rat, water vole, beaver, muskrat, etc.).

Neuromorphic processing and computing based on wavelength-division multiplexing
Authors: Moss David
Published: June 2022

 Optical neural networks (ONNs), or optical neuromorphic hardware accelerators, have the potential to dramatically enhance the computing power and energy efficiency of mainstream electronic processors, due to their ultra-large bandwidths of up to 10’s of terahertz together with their analog architecture that avoids the need for reading and writing data back-and-forth. Different multiplexing techniques have been demonstrated to demonstrate ONNs, amongst which wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) techniques make sufficient use of the unique advantages of optics in terms of broad bandwidths. Here, we review recent advances in WDM-based ONNs, focusing on methods that use integrated microcombs to implement ONNs. We present results for human image processing using an optical convolution accelerator operating at 11 Tera operations per second. The open challenges and limitations of ONNs that need to be addressed for future applications are also discussed. 
Harmonic Current Emission Estimation of Modular Multilevel Converters in MV Charging Stations
Authors: Gong Sicheng , Cuk Vladimir , Cobben Sjef
Published: June 2022

This paper proposes a novel framework for modular multilevel converter (MMC) current harmonic emission estimation from medium voltage (MV) charging stations. The framework is enlightened by wave decomposition, exploiting an analytical derivation of the emission, without a time-domain model. Accordingly, voltage harmonic distribution in grids can be estimated with a frequency-domain model, using the estimated voltage-dependent current emission in the iterations. Compared to conventional time-domain simulation, such method not only enables analytical harmonic estimation integrated with a large load-flow model, but also benefits from the potential of distributed computation. A 10.5kV grid-tied single-phase half-bridge MMC simulation case on PLECS has been implemented and investigated for comparison. Corresponding results revealed that the estimated harmonic series kept the absolute average difference to the PLECS model lower than 0.02% and  a correlation ratio higher than 99.990% with the simulated ones. The effectiveness of the proposed estimation framework is successfully verified.

Clinical Study on Role and Efficacy of Lower Dose of Carboprost [125 μg] and its Comparision with Oxytocin [10 Units] in Prevention of Postpartum Haemorrhage in Caesarean Section
Authors: Kumari Shilpa , Trivedi Kiran , Singh Shashi Bala
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is an important cause of maternal mortality accounting for nearly 25% of maternal deaths worldwide. It is reported to occur in ~4-6% of all deliveries, and the risk is significantly greater with caesarean delivery than vaginal delivery. Oxytocin is universally accepted as drug of choice but carboprost has also been found to be effective in management of third stage of labour. Carboprost 250 microgram (μg) is associated with significant side effects; however its lesser dose may prove a better uterotonic with fewer side effects. Aims and objective: To evaluate the role and scope of using prophylactic intramuscular carboprost [125 μg] in comparison with intramuscular oxytocin [10 units] in prevention of PPH in caesarean section. Material and methods: 200 pregnant women admitted in labour room undergoing caesarean section were included in this study after taking informed consent and were randomly divided into group 1 and 2, where Group 1 received intramuscular carboprost 125 microgram and Group 2 received intramuscular oxytocin 10 units, within 1 min of delivery of baby. Comparative study was done in both the groups and assessment was done in terms of blood loss, incidence of PPH, additional requirement of drugs and side effects. Results and conclusion: Patients who received carboprost [125 μg] had lesser blood loss as compared to patients who received oxytocin. Mean blood loss was 405 ml and 560 ml in patients who received carboprost and oxytocin respectively. Also there was less need of additional uterotonics in patients who were given carboprost. Out of 50 patients receiving carboprost only 4 patients complained of vomiting and 8 complained of nausea.

Smallholder dairying is significant economic activity. However, the activity is fraught with low productivity thus increasing vulnerability of dairy farmers to poverty. Thus, the main purpose of this study was to investigate the contribution of dairy projects interventions on households’ livelihoods in EADD projects in Nandi County of Kenya. The objective of this paper was to establish the influence of farm-level interventions on the households’ livelihoods in Nandi County. The study adopted the mixed-methods approach and utilized the descriptive research design, with the target population of 5,400 small-scale dairy farmers and staff spread over three dairy projects of Kabiyet, Lelchego and Tanykina Dairies in Nandi County. The sample size was 360 respondents based on modified Cochran’s formula with the head of the household being selected using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires and interview schedules, which was validated by expert judgments while reliability were assessed using Cronbach Alpha coefficient. Quantitative data obtained was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics which Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Qualitative data from interview schedules was analysed through content and thematic analysis. The inferential statistics showed that households’ livelihoods positively correlated with farm-level interventions (r = 0.385, p< 0.05). It was concluded that farm-level interventions have a significant influence on households’ livelihoods and positively relates to livelihoods. The study thus recommended that dairy farming cooperatives should improve the nature and form of technological interventions through the introduction of new breeds and sires to the farmers’ pool of resources to improve the milk production.

A Feminist Stylistic Analysis of Anti-feminist Poetry in English and Arabic
Authors:   MA. Candidate, Ali Hatim Farhan , al-Utbi Mahdi I. Kareem ,   University of Baghdad, College of Languages, Department of English Language, Baghdad, Iraq
Published: June 2022

Language plays a major role in all aspects of life. Communication is regarded as the most important of these aspects, as language is used on a daily basis by humanity either in written or spoken forms. Language is also regarded as the main factor of exchanging peoples’ cultures and traditions and in handing down these attributes from generation to generation. Thus, language is a fundamental element in identifying peoples’ ideologies and traditions in the past and the present. Despite these facts, the feminist linguists have objections to some of the language structures, demonstrating that language is gender biased to men. That is, language promotes patriarchal values. This pushed towards developing extensive studies to substantiate sexism in language. The main question is: is language really sexist? This study employs a feminist stylistic analysis to investigate these theories, and takes the anti-feminist poetry as a springboard for that, for it addresses multiple issues objected to by feminism. The model adopted in this study is Sara Mills’s (1995) Feminist Stylistics which analyzes different structures of language that oppose feminism; English and Arab modern anti-feminist poetry is the genre that is investigated in this study. Besides, this study aims at revealing the societies’ inherent views about women along with investigating the feminist essential claim; that language is sexist. This is done by conducting both qualitative and quantitative analyses on the data. The current study has concluded that language in its pure form is not sexist; rather sexism is a personal and well as a societal attitude. Furthermore, there are certain items, especially in English, that can be regarded since English does not have a feminine form on its own; still, such items can always be avoided and other neutral items can be used instead. Finally, this study recommends that a feminist practical approach is required to track and omit gender bias in language from school books as it has a major effect on the ideology of society. It also recommends to developing a feminist method to raise the awareness against the indirect forms of sexism that plague literature.

Gender and culture are among the factors that influence the process of understanding and interpreting different types of communication, especially images. The current study, which is a part of a master’s thesis, aims at investigating the role of gender and culture in interpreting and understanding the caricatures that deal with women’s issues in Arab societies. To this end, the researchers adopted Barthes’ (1957) concepts of denotation and connotation in his theory of mythologies in addition to Langacker’s (1987) theory of (Domains). The research concludes that the female subjects have better cognitive abilities in investing the signs within the selected caricatures. The other factor the study reached to is that the respondents’ different cultures didn’t affect their way of dealing with the caricatures very much, so they supported the issues raised in the caricatures almost equally.

Published: June 2022

This study provides an in-depth examination of the concept of Japanese City Pop, its historical formation process, and the urban pop trend in the 21st century. Individual interviews were conducted with domestic City Pop mediators, who served as City Pop guides. Qualitative research was conducted on the contents of individual interviews, focusing on City Pop guides, papers, newspapers, magazines, record guides, and online websites. First, City Pop basically pursued Western- and American-oriented musicality, but songs focused on the relationship with the space they felt and faced through Japanese singing. Here, space is a Japanese city, and more precisely, the lifestyle of Tokyo, a city on the border between daily life and leisure, with skyscrapers and resorts, is the subject of the song. Based on the abundance and stability brought by the economic boom in the 80s, City Pop demonstrates attempts to break the boundaries between daily life and leisure by responding to consumerism. At the same time, City Pop praises the sophisticated yet snob-like lifestyle, gaining sympathy from city life and young listeners who longed for urban life at the time. Even from the current viewpoint, this characteristic can be evaluated as the direction and identity of City Pop. Next, through a review of the 21st century trend of City Pop, young listeners can guess that City Pop is matching keywords such as abundance, relaxation, romance, and sophistication enjoyed by Japan in the 1980s. The keywords of City Pop they matched are of a nature that is hard to realize with the sensitivity of the current 2020s, and the scenery of the Japanese city that City Pop evokes is also unfamiliar. Hence, in the City Pop released 30-40 years ago, they discovered the consumerist North Talge language brought by the bubble economy, and it can be interpreted as enjoying it from the current perspective. In addition, while the sophisticated melody and arrangement of AOR advocated by City Pop display similarities to Western pop songs, it is interpreted that young listeners now recognize the characteristics of Japanese singing as a cool sound that feels new rather than uncomfortable. Therefore, from the perspective of current young listeners, City Pop is given the status of an old future and a new popular music. By examining Japan’s economic and cultural background that brought the City Pop trend, this study explored the concept and historical formation process of City Pop as a type of J-Pop and the identity and image of City Pop. In addition, the review of the trend of City Pop in the 21st century revealed it seeks the possibility of a new popular music and is created from the current perspective beyond the meaning of the revival of music from the past.

This study examined the possibility of participation income as one of the new artist support policies. Participation income is a policy that has not yet been realized, and there is ongoing debate about its concept and feasibility. Therefore, this study, which seeks new possibilities for participatory income and artist support policies, has the character of a preliminary study. Existing support policies need to be improved in two aspects. First of all, after the COVID-19 situation, the culture and arts sector, which presupposes face-to-face contact, is in crisis. The government, local governments, and related institutions implemented emergency support policies, but these only had a temporary effect. A more sustainable support policy is needed. In addition, the existing competition selection support policy centered on excellence has problems such as customary genre classification, limited work period, result-oriented nature, and complex administrative procedures. To improve this situation, it is necessary to change the concept of art according to social change, social practice of art in response to social crises, and social recognition for the work of artists participating in the public art field. This study reviewed the cultural city project at the national level and the experimental artist support project of each local government and some institutions, paying attention to the concept and significance of participatory income. Although it is a study with limitations in the specific policies and methods of participation income, it is believed that it will contribute to a significant amount of productive discussion to explore various possibilities of the new artist support policy.

Published: June 2022

The findings were as follows. First, Cho’s songs such as , , and  were written to commemorate historical moments.  offers lyrics reflecting the pain of family separation due to the Japanese occupation, national unity, and his wish for the unification of North and South Korea.  focuses on the placeness of Seoul and paints a depressing outlook for the social aspects that the nation would face after the Seoul Summer Olympic Games.  reinterprets the Arirang folk song that represents the history of the Korean people’s suffering, indicating that the history of Korea faces a grand turning point. Secondly, , , and <1987 of Seoul> reflect people’ aspirations for anti-autocracy and democratization.  and  are set against the backdrop of “Seoul’s Spring in 1980” and the “Gwangju Democratization Movement of May,” depicting the dream of democratization that was lost in the “empty sky” and the noble spirit of sacrifice of democratic souls. The lyrics of <1987 of Seoul> talk about the historical site of a democratic protest on June 10 and the beginning of the democratic society that the Korean people finally won. Lastly,  represents people’s anger toward the political world. Its lyrics are impressive for their harsh political satire.  and  talk frankly about the anxiety and alienation of the middle aged and the older generations that faced a rapidly changing social situation after the foreign currency crisis. These findings show that many of Cho Yong-pil’s songs contain social messages in their lyrics, that the lyrics of his songs did not enjoy as much attention as their popular awareness, that it was inevitable for him to hide his original intentions with literary expressions, and that he continued to deliver his social messages.
