Published: September 2024

Abstract. In recent years, the demand for rice in Africa has been growing rapidly, and in order to meet this demand, the rice cultivation area is also expanding rapidly, thus it is of great significance to monitor the rice cultivation in Africa. The spatial and temporal distribution of rice cultivation in Africa is complex, making it difficult to use a climate-based rice identification method, and the existing rice distribution products are all grid based statistical data with low resolution, unable to obtain accurate rice field location and available labels. To address these two difficulties, based on time-series optical and dual-polarisation SAR data, this study proposes a sample set construction method by fast coarse positioning assisted visual interpretation, and a feature importance guided supervised classification combining multiple temporal optical and SAR features to reduce the impact of rice diversity in Africa. Firstly, we use the time-series statistical features of VH data for fast coarse positioning and screening of possible rice areas, and combine multiple auxiliary data for visual interpretation to make sample set; secondly, based on the complementary information in SAR data and optical data, the 20 meter Africa rice distribution map of 2023 was completed by combining the object-oriented segmentation results of temporal optical images and the pixel based classification results of temporal SAR data features after feature selection. The average classification accuracy of the proposed method on the validation set is more than 85 %, and the R2 of the linear fit to various existing statistical data is more than 0.9, which proves that the proposed method can achieve the spatial distribution mapping of rice under the complex climatic conditions in a large region, providing crucial data support for rice monitoring and agricultural policy development.

Abstract. Here, the Copernicus Ocean State Report offers detailed scientific analysis of the ocean under climate change, ocean variability, and ocean extremes. This evidence-based reporting is based on a set of key ocean indicators such as sea surface temperature, sea level rise, ocean heat content, ocean acidification, and sea ice extent. Moreover, key indicators for ocean variability such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation and major ocean current systems such as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation are tackled. Major results show that the global ocean's sea surface temperature continues to steadily increase, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere, with a global warming rate of 0.13 ± 0.01 °C per decade from 1982 to 2023. Since around the 1970s, the ocean warming trend has intensified, doubling its rate over the past 2 decades. Concurrently, global mean sea level has risen significantly at intensifying rates from 2.1 mm yr−1 in the 1990s to 4.3 mm yr−1 in recent years, with regional disparities. The Arctic Ocean has faced unprecedented sea ice loss and warming, while Antarctic sea ice has reached record lows. Ocean acidification has progressed, decreasing pH at a rate of −0.017 per decade. Marine heatwaves have become more frequent, intense, and extensive, affecting up to 80 % of the global ocean surface annually. Despite significant variability, extreme ocean surface wind speeds have been prevalent, particularly in the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Southern Ocean. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation shows no significant decline but varies substantially. In 2023, La Niña conditions have transitioned to El Niño conditions in the Pacific Ocean.

Published: September 2024

Abstract. Early warning of marine heatwaves requires short-term forecasts to provide precise information on timings, local-scale coverage, and intensities of coming events. Here, we describe our successful efforts to track the onset, peak, and decay of the Mediterranean Sea marine heatwave of summer 2022 with the Copernicus MedFS short-term (10 d) forecast system. First, we show that the 2022 event eclipses the economically and ecologically damaging event of 2003 in terms of marine heatwave (MHW) activity (a measure of intensity and duration). Forecasts of MHW area and activity provide a means of basin-wide validation, highlighting the capability of MedFS to capture regional behaviour. On local scales, we found that the MHW occurrence in the Ligurian Sea and Gulf of Taranto, two regions of economic and ecological importance, was also reliably forecast. Encouragingly, we note that the forecast has demonstrated skill in capturing not just the season-long MHW cycle but also breaks in MHW persistence and abrupt changes in local activity. Subseasonal forecasts do not yet demonstrate the capacity to predict MHW response to short-lived weather patterns, but this study confirms that short-term forecasts, at least in the Mediterranean Sea, can fill this gap.

Abstract. The Mediterranean marine heat wave (MHW) during the warm season (May–September) and the fall period (October–December) of 2022 is analyzed using Argo float in situ observations in the upper 2000 m of depth. The five study regions (North Western Mediterranean, South Western Mediterranean, central Ionian Sea, Pelops Gyre, and South Adriatic Pit) most affected by warming in different layers were selected and investigated. The primary goal is to provide insights into how the water column responds to the onset and progression of the MHW during the warming period, characterized by peak stratification and reduced vertical mixing. Additionally, this study aims to examine how the heat accumulated in the upper layers is redistributed to deep layers within regions with different dynamic characteristics through advection and/or mixing during the subsequent fall period. Temperature anomaly profiles, Ta (z), computed for each area and for both periods were divided into three categories based on vertical heat penetration: Category 1 (shallow, 0–150 m), Category 2 (intermediate, 150–700 m), and Category 3 (deep, >700 m). During the warm season, Category 1 profiles had a temperature anomaly near zero or slightly negative in a thin layer between 50 and 150 m depth, while warming was observed in the 0–50 m layer and below the middle layer. Profiles characterized by greater vertical heat penetration (categories 2 and 3) were mainly in mesoscale or subbasin structures and showed the largest positive temperature anomaly in the surface and intermediate layers. All profile categories showed a warming between 200 and 800 m depth. This increase is roughly split, with half attributed to the impact of the 2022 MHW and the other half linked to the ongoing long-term trend in ocean temperatures. During the fall period and in the layer below 200 m depth, the shapes of the Ta profiles are similar for all sectors with the exception of the South Adriatic Pit, which depicts a +0.5 °C warming at 800 m depth. The present work highlights the warming characteristics throughout the entire water column across different regions of the Mediterranean Sea, and it seeks to connect the impacts of the warm season on the cold period with oceanic dynamic processes, such as dense water formation, upwelling, or water column stratification. These regions are characterized by dynamic activities (e.g., dense water formation, upwelling); therefore, any variation in these ocean processes can influence the thermohaline circulation and, consequently, the climate system.

Authors: Oflaz Feyza
Published: September 2024

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance in tissues such as the liver, muscle, and fat, resulting from detectable damage to pancreatic beta cells. The disease is also related to genetics, environmental factors, and lifestyle. In our country, 22.6% of the health budget is allocated to treating diabetes and its complications. Due to the increasing incidence of patients with type 2 diabetes, effective and rational treatments to reduce the burden of the disease on the healthcare budget have become an important issue for both payers and policymakers. In this study, prescriptions of 391 Type-2 diabetic patients were analyzed from pharmacies selected by mass sampling method in Sivas center, and the pharmacoeconomic suitability of these drugs was investigated, taking into account chronic complications related to diabetes. According to the data obtained, the drugs prescribed to diabetic patients with chronic diseases were found to be appropriate. However, when all diabetic patients were examined, it was determined that the prescribed amount of insulin preparations was high and not pharmaceutically appropriate. It was revealed that the cost of type 2 diabetes medications for 391 patients was 77,852,79 TRY, and the prescription price was 199.11 TRY.
PEMANFAATAN FITOHORMON UNTUK PRODUKSI BIBIT KENTANG (Solanum tuberosum L.) SEHAT MELALUI KULTUR JARINGAN
Authors: Inderiati Sitti
Published: September 2024

Tissue culture is the primary method of propagating potato plants for the development of superior, pathogen-free seeds. One of the most critical aspects influencing tissue culture performance is the presence of growth hormones in the planting media. This study investigated the use of phytohormones found in coconut water as an alternative for pricey synthetic growth hormones. The purpose of study is to determine the optimal coconut water concentration for increasing potato seed growth and production potato plantlet. Explants were cut from potato plantlets and planted aseptically in Murashige and Skoog media, with coconut water added at varying concentrations as treatment. The experiment was designed using a completely randomized design, and the experimental data were analysed using analysis of variance and additional honest significant difference tests. The results showed that the treatment had a significant effect on the parameters of sprouting speed and root length, but not on the parameters of number of shoots, shoot height, and number of leaves. The 150 mg/l coconut water treatment resulted in the fastest micro shoots and the greatest number of leaves. The 100 mg/l coconut water treatment resulted in the highest number of shoots, shoot height, and root length. Based on these findings, it was determined that a coconut water concentration of 100 ml/l was more successful in promoting the growth and producing of potato plantlets than synthetic hormones, and therefore, may be recommended for developing potato tissue culture.

Published: September 2024

Desa Cicadas, Kecamatan Cisolok, Kabupaten Sukabumi, merupakan salah satu desa yang terletak jauh dari pemukiman kota dan fasilitas yang memadai. Desa ini berada di ujung Pelabuhan Ratu, Kecamatan Cisolok, dan sering kali disebut sebagai desa perbatasan antara Sukabumi dan Banten. Oleh karena itu, tidak jarang banyak masyarakat yang harus menempuh pendidikan di luar Provinsi Sukabumi, seperti Banten. Hal ini disebabkan oleh kurangnya fasilitas pendidikan yang dapat diakses oleh para pelajar di Desa Cicadas. Kondisi ini juga berkontribusi terhadap tingginya tingkat pengangguran di desa ini, karena banyak masyarakat yang tidak memiliki kesempatan untuk melanjutkan pendidikan mereka. Akibatnya, banyak warga yang bekerja sebagai pekerja serabutan. Hal ini menjadi faktor utama yang menghambat kesejahteraan masyarakat, dan juga menjadi penyebab tingginya tingkat stunting di Desa Cicadas, terutama dalam lingkup Kecamatan Cisolok. Tingkat pendapatan masyarakat juga sangat berpengaruh terhadap pola hidup yang sehat, dan salah satu faktor penyebab stunting adalah kurangnya akses terhadap makanan bergizi dan air bersih yang memadai. Oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan pemberdayaan masyarakat, diperlukan program-program yang bertujuan untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan dan menanggulangi stunting di Desa Cicadas.

Published: September 2024

Air tawar di atas kapal dibutuhkan untuk memenuhi keperluan hidup awak kapal dan mendukung operasional kapal. Kebutuhan air tawar untuk awak kapal dan dukungan operasiaonal kapal tersebut dicukupi dengan air tawar yang dibeli dari darat. Pengisian air dilakukan dapat dilakukan saat kapal dipelabuhan baik saat kapal saat di dermaga maupun saat kapal berlabuh. Suplai air tawar tambahan dapat diperoleh secara terus-menerus selama kapal berlayar. Desalinasi air laut menjadi solusi untuk memproduksi air tawar guna memenuhi kebutuhan air tawar di atas kapal. Desalinasi menggunakan Fresh Water Generator (FWG) melibatkan proses penguapan dan kondensasi yang dipengaruhi kevakuman dan temperatur operasi. Studi ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan parameter tekanan dan temperatur terhadap kapasitas produksi Fresh Water Generator. Studi dilakukan dengan metode studi kasus melalui observasi, dan eksperimen di kapal MT.PM REGENT. Kevakuman dalam ruang FWG divariasikan berdasarkan hisapan dari vaccum ejector. Temperatur air panas sebagai pemanas pada evaporator yang diambil dari jacket cooling mesin induk. Hasil variasi tekanan ejector pump sangat mempengaruhi tingkat kevakuman ruang distilasi. Pada tekanan ejector pump antara 8 – 16 Bar tingkat kevakuman dapat mencapai 99 – 100% setelah pompa dioperasikan. Pada tekanan 2 dan 4 Bar tingkat kevakuman turun drastis masing-masing hanya mencapai 50 dan 80 %. Produksi terendah dari FWG saat dioperasikan dengan vakum 80% dengan temperatur pemanas 75 OC sebanyak 2767 Liter/hari. Pada operasi FWG dengan vakum maksimal 100% dan temperatur pemanas 85 OC mampu menghasilkan air tawar terbanyak sekitar 6879 Liter/hari. Berdasarkan perubahan parameter dapat disimpulkan penurunan tingkat kevakuman dan temperatur pemanas menurunkan produksi air tawar dari Fresh Water Generator.

Hamilton compression in Vertex-transitive Graphs
Authors: Kutnar Klavdija
Published: September 2024

Given a graph X with a Hamilton cycle C, the compression factor κ(X,C) of C is the order of the largest cyclic subgroup of C∩ X, and the Hamilton compression κ(X) of X is the maximum of κ(X,C) where C runs over all Hamilton cycles in X.

Motivated by Gregor, Merino and Mütze generalization of the well-known open problem regarding the existence of vertex-transitive graphs without Hamilton paths/cycles we have recently started to investigate existence of Hamilton cycles, admitting large rotational symmetry, in certain families of vertex-transitive graphs.

In this talk I will present the results obtained thus far with a special
emphasis given to the importance of the so-called Polycirculant conjecture when investigating Hamilton compression in vertex-transitive graphs.

The work discussed in this talk is a joint work with Dragan Marušič and Andriaherimanana Sarobidy Razafimahatratra.

Published: September 2024

This study uses 34 years of data from the National Homicide Monitoring Program to describe the prevalence and characteristics of homicide of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. Between 1 July 1989 and 30 June 2023, 476 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women were the victim of a homicide. Indigenous women experienced a homicide victimisation rate up to seven times the national average. Ninety-six percent (n=455) of the 473 homicide incidents involving an Indigenous woman were cleared by police. Almost all victims from cleared incidents were killed by someone they knew (97%, n=446), most by an Indigenous male intimate partner (66%, n=301). Findings highlight the over-representation of Indigenous women as victims of homicide in Australia and provide baseline data to measure Closing the Gap targets to reduce homicide and other violent victimisation among these women.

Published: September 2024

En el proceso de mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo de vehículos automotores los trabajadores están expuestos diariamente a factores de riesgo mecánico por la utilización de máquinas, equipos y herramientas manuales requeridas para la ejecución de las actividades y tareas de los procesos de sincronización, suspensión y mantenimiento de frenos. No hay controles de ingeniería que minimicen el riesgo mecánico como guarda de seguridad en el esmeril; no cuentan con procedimientos de trabajo seguro y el personal no tiene la cultura de utilizar los elementos de protección personal. Por tanto, se propone conocer el proceso productivo para identificar los principales factores de riesgo mecánicos, analizar el nivel de riesgo y definir acciones propias por medio de un programa de prevención. Se realizaron visitas de campo para observar y describir la situación en la que se encuentra el personal. La información recolectada permitió realizar el análisis y la valoración específica de los factores de riesgos presentes en el entorno de trabajo, por medio de la Guía Técnica Colombiana 45; a su vez, se realizó un análisis para tareas asociadas a herramientas específicas. El nivel de riesgo mecánico evidencia que se debe proponer controles a las siguientes herramientas de trabajo con los siguientes grados: la plataforma elevadora con una calificación de 450, el esmeril de 300, el gato hidráulico de 120 y las herramientas manuales de 60. Las actividades asociadas a estas deben contar con intervenciones en la fuente, medio e individuo; en el caso de la plataforma elevadora y el esmeril las medidas deben ser corregir y adoptar precauciones de control de inmediato; en adición, frente al gato hidráulico y las herramientas manuales dichas normas se orientan a mejorar si es posible. Como conclusión, la empresa automotriz debe incentivar el uso de los elementos de protección personal y promover el autocuidado. En apoyo se brinda un programa para el control de los riesgos mecánicos presentes en el proceso de mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo de vehículos en conjunto de procedimientos de trabajo seguro para las máquinas, equipos y herramientas manuales y así mejorar las condiciones de trabajo. Esto contribuirá a la prevención de los posibles accidentes laborales durante la ejecución de actividades de trabajo.

Sketching Versus Digital Design Tools in Architectural Design
Authors: Yıldızoğlu Nurcan
Published: September 2024

Sketching is a design tool that can be assumed to be ill-structured, does not offer exact solutions, is intuitive, and is open-ended in the initial stages of architectural design. Sketching creates an opportunity for architects to release their creativity and intuition, giving rise to spontaneous ideas and concepts in an organic and natural way. During the initial design phases, like in the conceptual stage of the design, designers receive aid from conventional sketching as their concepts and ideas can easily transform into tangible, real-world forms. With the development of digital design methods like CAD (computer-aided design) in pursuit of AI (artificial intelligence), it has been accepted that manual sketches are no longer the only method used in the design process, and the trend toward using new methods has begun. The diversity and evolution of tools used in architectural design, together with the integration of CAD, AI, and traditional sketching techniques, have contributed to the development of architectural design and facilitated enhanced collaboration, visualization, and efficiency across the design process. As a result, it has evolved to embrace the use of CAD, which was the first method adopted from these developments, as a basic skill in the field of architectural design education. This shift places a strong emphasis on the professional field of architectural design while also encouraging students to explore the innovative potential of CAD for design purposes. CAD presents architects with a robust platform that facilitates the creation of intricate designs and precise measurements during the initial stages of the design process. Following CAD, the development of AI-driven design tools motivates architecture students and designers to transform their concepts into concrete designs. Although it is known that each method mentioned has its own positive or negative aspects, it is not possible to say that any of them is used alone in architectural design processes. At this point, combining the design process with CAD and AI-supported design tools, as well as traditional manual sketching in architecture, helps develop a diverse and adaptable skill set in design. Integrating digital design tools into the architectural field emphasizes the enduring importance of traditional sketches, especially in terms of inspiration and conceptualization in architectural design, while also updating the design process. This document aims to explore the progression of employing diverse design tools, namely manual sketching, CAD, and AI-driven design tools, throughout the architectural design process. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of using computational design tools instead of traditional sketching with pen and pencil, aiming to juxtapose their respective benefits and drawbacks. In conclusion, although it is not yet possible to assert the superiority of one method over the other, it is evident that traditional sketching continues to hold significant relevance and effectiveness in the design process despite its long-term use.

Majāz mursal is one of al-Majāz's styles in Arabic rhetoric sciences. It contains an implicit or implied meaning that is not explicitly stated. The literal approach will lead to the loss of the implicit meaning in majāz mursal. Therefore, this study aims to compare the approach used by several translation texts in the translation of synecdoche in Quranic discourse specific to the relationship of the event that will occur (ĩtibār mā sayakūn) to see the equivalence of the actual meaning found in the Quran with the target text. This study is qualitative library research for adopting content analysis methods and purposive sampling techniques. This study's primary data source was collected from al-Burhān fĩ 'Ulum al-Quran. Four translation texts of the Quran by Hidayah House of Quran, Karya Bestari, Abdullah Basmeih, and Yayasan Restu are used as a corpus to examine the approaches of translation used by the four texts. Data analysis of the selected translation is based on the theory of explicitation introduced by Vinay & Darbelnet (1995) and the explicitation technique presented by Murtisari (2016). To measure the accuracy and compatibility of resource language messages with the target language, interpretation of the book of tafsĩr are referred to, such as al-Kashshāf by Al-Zamakhsyarĩ, al-Jalālain by Al-Suyūti, An'war At-Tanzĩl wa Asrāru At-Ta'wĩl by Baydhāwi, Al-Tashĩl lĩ 'Ulum al-Tanzĩl by Ibn Juzayy, al-Tahrĩr Wa Tanwĩr by Ibn' Asyur, Jami'ul Bayān by Al-Tabarĩ, Fĩ Zilāl al-Quran by Syed Qutb and Tafsĩr al-Munĩr by Wahbah Zuhailĩ. This study shows that two (2) of the five (5) (data) have shown the use of applying the explicitation strategy. It can reveal the implicit meaning that exists in the language style of majāz mursal from the relationship related to things that will happen (ĩtibar mā sayakūn) compared to the literal translation method.
The Effects of Strategy Formulation on Organisational Performance: Evidence from the Malaysian Local Authorities
Authors: Ahmad Tajuddin Ahmad Fadzli , Musa Mazilan
Published: September 2024

This study examines the effects of strategy formulation on the performance of Malaysian local authorities (LAs). Strategy formulation, which is the independent variable, is presented in the forms of its four elements, which are mission, objective, strategy, and policy. On the other hand, efficiency is measured as the proxy for performance, which is the dependent variable. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires. PLS-SEM was employed to analyse the data and test the hypotheses. This technique is justified due to its aptness for small sample sizes. The measurement model analysis revealed that the data had achieved validity, reliability and goodness-of-fit. The results of the structural model analysis suggested that mission significantly influences the performance of the Malaysian LAs. However, objective, strategy, and policy did not significantly affect performance. The findings are explained from the perspective of the contingency theory. The managerial implications of the findings are discussed and the agenda for future research are also proposed.

Published: September 2024

Toleransi merupakan kunci yang membentuk keharmonian dan perpaduan antara penganut antara agama. Namun begitu, timbulnya isu-isu antara agama boleh menjejaskan hubungan antara penganut agama jika tidak dibendung dengan lebih awal. Justeru, artikel ini bertujuan meneroka dan menganalisa apakah isu-isu antara agama yang dilaporkan dalam dapatan kajian yang lalu. Bagi mendapatkan data-data tersebut, kaedah kualitatif telah digunakan. Kaedah perpustakaan digunakan untuk mendapatkan dan meneliti bahan-bahan cetakan artikel ilmiah, tesis dan akhbar berkaitan kajian. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa dua isu utama yang menjadi jurang dalam usaha pemupukan semangat toleransi antara penganut agama di Malaysia ialah i) pendedahan media sosial dan politik semasa, ii) kurang pengetahuan terhadap agama yang dianuti dan kurang pendedahan terhadap agama-agama lain. Justeru, artikel ini mencadangkan agar isu-isu antara agama yang telah berlaku perlu diberi perhatian supaya ia boleh dibendung seawal mungkin oleh pihak yang berautoriti dan berkepentingan. Selain daripada itu, bagi mencapai kesepaduan yang lebih mendalam, perlu juga diselidiki bagaimana   faktor-faktor sosial, ekonomi dan pendidikan boleh memainkan peranan dalam membentuk landskap toleransi agama dalam kalangan masyarakat pelbagai agama di negara ini. Usaha ini perlu menggembeling usaha secara kolektif dari semua pihak termasuk pemerintah, masyarakat sivil dan institusi agama.

Authors: Yao Huishuang
Published: September 2024

As the most widely used chatting tool, ChatGPT has attracted much attention in all walks of life, and its impact on education cannot be ignored. The article describes the basic meaning and positioning of ChatGPT, and argues that although ChatGPT promotes the emergence of a new ecosystem of school education, changes in the way of school education and teaching, and the development of teacher-student relationships in schools, it also brings challenges to the teaching morality and ethics, the realization of students' individual values, and changes in the evaluation system of teachers. In the future, it is necessary to establish a school education system that is compatible with the new AI, cultivate teachers with "unique values", and set educational goals focusing on students' comprehensive literacy, in order to promote the in-depth integration and common development of school education and AI.

Causes of Aquaphobia in Swimming Beginners Aged 6 to 12 and Related Strategies in Swimming Instruction
Authors: Wang Han , Han Hui
Published: September 2024

The ages of 6 to 12 represent an ideal period for learning to swim; however, aquaphobia often poses a significant barrier to children's swimming education. This study employs field investigations, interviews, and observational methods to examine the causes of aquaphobia among swimming beginners aged 6 to 12 and to propose effective strategies for overcoming this issue. The research indicates that aquaphobia is influenced by a combination of psychological factors (such as mental resilience, understanding of swimming, poor body coordination, and competitive anxiety) and external environmental factors (including social and sports environment changes, alterations in breathing techniques, and inappropriate teaching methods by coaches). To mitigate aquaphobia, the study suggests two primary approaches: firstly, enhancing children's awareness of swimming safety, mastering proper breathing techniques, emphasizing comfort with water, establishing confidence in learning, and creating a positive learning environment; secondly, shifting learners' focus through imaginative visualization and gradual desensitization, ensuring a safe teaching environment, and progressively applying professional teaching methodologies. This research aims to provide strategies to address aquaphobia in young swimming novices, facilitating their mastery of swimming skills and promoting their physical development and the long-term advancement of swimming instruction.
