The Gaoligong Mountains are characterized by large variations in elevation and topography, which support high levels of biodiversity and endemism that remain largely understudied. Herein, based on the integration of morphological comparisons and phylogenetic reconstruction, we describe a new species ofRhacophorusfrom the northern Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan Province, China. The new species,Rhacophorus dulongensissp. nov., is morphologically distinguishable from its congeners based on the differences in body size, head length, tibia length, snout and tongue shape, toe webbing formula and coloration, ventral skin texture and coloration, dorsal pattern and coloration, body macroglands, iris coloration, and pattern of markings on flanks. Phylogenetically, it differs from its congeners by uncorrectedp-distances of >4.8% for the 16S rRNA gene fragment.Rhacophorus dulongensissp. nov.is likely to be found in Myanmar, considering its type locality lies close to the China-Myanmar border. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the “widespread” species,R. rhodopus, is a species complex and a composite of five distinct lineages. The results revealed thatR. napoensisis also found in Vietnam, making it a new country record for Vietnam. Interestingly,R. dulongensissp. nov.likely breeds in bamboo, a hidden behavioral characteristic that makes them easy to overlook. Given the ongoing habitat loss and degradation in the region, further biological exploration is urgently needed in the Gaoligong Mountains as a biodiversity reservoir.

Published: June 2024

Amongst the major causes of deaths worldwide today, is diabetes mellitus. This ailment is frequently associated with a person's eating  habits and heredity, and its recurrence rate is becoming seriously alarming. There are several anti-diabetic or hypoglycemic medications available for the treatment of the condition, but they are frequently expensive, out of reach for the poor, and frequently have unfavorable  side effects. This highlights the need for scientific research to identify a different, safe, and efficient herbal drug that will be  widely available, simple to use, and reasonably affordable for the treatment of the condition. In this study, the effects of Momordica  balsamina aqueous methanolic extracts were investigated on albino rats induced with diabetes using alloxan. Albino rats weighing 150g  and above and kept in the same condition with unrestricted access to food and water were used throughout the experiment. A solution  of alloxan monohydrate was made by dissolving 0.9 mg in 6 mL of distilled water and the rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection  of alloxan monohydrate (150 mg/kg). The blood glucose level of the rats was assessed both before and after alloxan diabetes  induction and after treated with 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg of the aqueous methanolic extract of M. balsamina using a glucometer. The data  obtained were subjected to statistical analysis at P-value (P 0.05 and 0.01) using Pearson correlation analysis. The work conducted on  albino rats indicated a substantial reduction in blood glucose levels after administering doses of 200 mg/kg body weight of M. balsamin  aqueous methanolic extract. This effect was particularly notable between the third and thirty third days of the research period where a  decreased in blood glucose level from 28.5±0.8 to 10.8±0.2, 8.3±1.1, 8.0±0.0, and 7.2±0.0 (mmol/L) in the third, sixth, ninth and twelfths  days were observed respective, which also increased to 8.8±1.1 and 9.3±1.3 (mmol/L) in the fifteenth and eighteenth day, but continue  decreasing throughout until become 7.4±1.5 (mmol/L) at thirty third day. It is worth mentioning that the test animals remained healthy  and exhibited normal activity throughout the study. Furthermore, the LD50 test detected no indications of toxicity, suggesting the  extract's relative safety. These findings strongly suggest that M. balsamina contains phytochemicals with potent anti-diabetic properties.

Authors: Zakari Hauwa , Shehu Abba Abubakar , Mudi Nura Rabiu
Published: June 2024

Numerous tourist destinations in Nigeria with a variety of attractions have failed to achieve their tourism capacities due to lack of  strategic development to stimulate economic growth in the host communities and the nation at large. This study therefore evaluates the  potential of developing Zuma Rock as a tourism Destination and the prospects for national economic growth of Nigeria. The data for this  study was generated from primary and secondary sources. Observation and interview techniques were employed in which 35  respondents comprising head district, hotel employees and community residents were interviewed. Responses articulated were analyzed  using Destination Competitive Tourism Model. The finding reveals that Zuma Rock qualifies to be a Tourism destination; therefore if it is  fully developed it will contribute significantly to the economic growth of Nigeria through job creation, income generation by the host  community, foreign exchange earnings and revenue to government. It has been recommended that government should intensified  efforts in providing social amenities, tight security surveillance to curtail the menace of kidnapping and armed robbery in the area. Private participation in the areas of investment and destination promotion should be encouraged to fully harness the potentialities of  Zuma Rock as a viable tourism destination.

Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has both ionizable and non-ionizable chemical impact that causes protons and electrons to interact as  fields in any surrounding as it travels. This can have negative health effects, such as warming up the body because of polarization and  dipolar moment itchy skin eruption. This paper adopted Feynman diagram from quantum electrodynamics as a theoretical model to  explain the quantum properties related to the interactions of EMR, in specific the exchanges involving photons and electrons in the 5G  electromagnetic carrier signals. The Feynman model depicts electron-positron collisions as mutually annihilating antiparticles that ultimately produce photons. The mutual annihilation resulted in the disappearance of an electron and its antiparticle, producing gamma  rays with highest ionizable penetrating power. The process of chemical polarization, also known as ionizing radiation, causes molecules  within cells to split apart and create free reactive radicals, which in turn affects the immune system of the body. As a result of the  existence of unpaired electrons that occurred from the breaking up of water molecules within the cells, it destabilizes the equilibrium of  the charged particles that make up the human deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The free radicals will produce hydrogen peroxide compounds, which will start toxic chemical processes inside the cells that can lead to things like fluid accumulation in the lungs  (pulmonary edema). Hydrogen peroxide produced from the disintegration of water molecules as a result of EMR is found to facilitate the  multistage carcinogenic process, which involves carcinogen activation, oxidative DNA damage, and tumor formation.

Published: June 2024

This study was set to examine the relationship between community participation and rural development in Buhanika Sub County, Hoima District, Uganda. The specific objectives were to examine the relationship between community involvement in decision making and rural development in Hoima District, to assess the relationship between community communication and rural development in Hoima District and to establish the relationship between community resource mobilization and rural development in Hoima District. A descriptive comparative, correlational, and cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect primary data from 350 household heads in Buhanika Sub County, selected using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. The data collection instruments included questionnaires with sections on demographic characteristics, community participation variables, and rural development outcomes. Data analysis involved Univariate analysis, Pearson's Correlation, and Multiple Regression to explore relationships and predictive factors between community participation and rural development. The correlation between community involvement in decision making and rural development was(r=0.463). This indicates a moderate positive correlation between these two variables. With a positive correlation, it suggests that as community involvement in decision making increases, rural development also tends to increase, and vice versa. The correlation between communications and rural development was (r=0.651). This shows a significant positive relationship between communication and rural development in Hoima City. The correlation was (r= 0.708) between community resource mobilization and rural development. This indicates a strong positive correlation between these variables in Hoima District. This suggests that as community resource mobilization efforts increase, there is a corresponding increase in rural development outcomes within the district. Recommendations were made to strengthen community engagement, enhance communication channels, foster resource mobilization initiatives, build capacity, promote collaborative partnerships, implement sustainable development practices, monitor progress, and advocate for policy changes that support community-driven rural development efforts.
Effect of Thickness-to-Chord Ratio and Chord Length on Aerodynamics of GOE-387 Airfoil
Authors: Sinaga Nazaruddin , Yunianto Bambang , Pirie Yosia Verse
Published: June 2024

This research presents CFD analysis of the twodimensional subsonic flow over a GOE-387 airfoil at various thickness-to-chord ratios (t/C) and chord lengths, operating at a Reynolds number of 400,000. Lift Coefficient (CL), Drag Coefficient (CD), and CL/CD are investigated. The geometry of the airfoil is created using SolidWorks and Ansys Design Modeler. CFD analysis uses Ansys Fluent at various t/C from 5% to 25%, while the chord length varies from 100 to 200 cm. It was shown that variations in chord length have an effect in the form of increases and decreases in the value of the CL and a decrease in the CL/CD ratio, which is caused by the greater length value of the GOE-387 airfoil chord. In addition, variations in the thickness-to-chord ratio parameter also clearly influence the aerodynamic characteristics of GOE387 airfoil. The greater the t/C, the more significant the lift and drag coefficients increase while the CL/CD ratio decreases.

Authors: M. Munadi  , Putranto Hermawan
Published: June 2024

The bagging machine is an essential component in the chicken feed production process. This machine functions to package livestock feed into bags with weights that meet specified standards. The machine can automatically weigh, fill, and seal feed bags with high speed and accuracy. This research aims to evaluate the performance of bagging machines in chicken feed production, focusing on increasing production capacity, reducing operational costs, and improving the quality of the final product. The study results indicate that using an automatic bagging machine significantly increases production capacity by up to 25% compared to previous manual methods, and operational costs decrease by 15% due to reduced downtime and improved labor efficiency. To determine the overall effectiveness of the machine, a calculation method is required to obtain values of availability, performance efficiency, and rate of quality, leading to solutions for optimizing the machine's effectiveness through proposing a more efficient layout. The results obtained after making changes are expected to increase production capacity to the optimal limit that the machine can produce

Development of Corporate Social Responsibility Implementation (Study in Indonesia and Malaysia)
Authors: Ariani Riska Septi , Hwihanus Hwihanus , Ramadanthy Fernianda Wahyu
Published: June 2024

This comparative analysis explores the development and impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in Indonesia and Malaysia, highlighting differences in their frameworks, developmental trajectories, and outcomes. Indonesia’s regulatory-driven approach, established through laws like Law No. 40/2007, mandates CSR activities for companies, particularly those in natural resources. While this has led to significant contributions from large corporations in community development and environmental sustainability, challenges in enforcement, resource limitations among SMEs, and a gap between policy and genuine practice hinder the overall effectiveness. Conversely, Malaysia’s blend of regulatory requirements and voluntary initiatives promotes corporate accountability and transparency. Policies such as the Silver Book and mandatory sustainability reporting by Bursa Malaysia have driven strategic integration of CSR into business operations. Malaysian companies, exemplified by Petronas, Maybank, and Nestlé Malaysia, align their CSR initiatives with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), resulting in more consistent and impactful outcomes. The analysis underscores that while Indonesia ensures widespread participation through regulatory mandates, it faces challenges in enforcement and strategic depth. Malaysia’s approach fosters innovation and accountability, leading to more effective CSR practices. By learning from each other’s experiences, both countries can enhance their CSR efforts, contributing to sustainable development and fostering social and environmental well-being in Southeast Asia.
Axial Stability Exercises with Varying Back Muscle Contractions and Their Significant Impacts on Physiological Indicators due to Sports Technology and the Explosive Ability of Volleyball Players
Authors: Noori Jian Abdullah
Published: June 2024

The current paper aimed to prepare axial stability exercises with a variety of back muscle contractions for volleyball players, and identify their important effects on some physiological indicators according to sports technology and the explosive ability of volleyball players. The research was based on two hypotheses, both of which indicated statistically significant variations in test results. Pre and post brain signals (EEG) for the three beta brain waves in the experimental group. There are statistically significant variations between the before and post-test findings for the explosive ability of the legs in the experimental group participants. The experimental research technique was used by creating one experimental group. The research population was represented by 12 young volleyball players from Al-Kahraba Club, who were selected using a comprehensive enumeration method to represent their community of origin, with a 100% representation of their community of origin in the sample for the 2023/2024 sports season. The latest sports technologies were employed to measure brain signals (EEG) for the three beta brain waves. This method is easy to apply on the volleyball court and does not require the transportation of players to other laboratories, as is the case with the (Neurosky) device, which includes a sensitive head kit. The Sarget test is approved for the purpose of measuring the explosiveness of the legs, and the EEG is equipped with NeuroSky technology to detect nerve signals. The exercises were prepared and applied in the research experiment by applying pre-tests on 8/10/2023 and then applying axial stability exercises with varying back muscle contractions for the period from 8/13/2023 until 10/5/2023. Applying post-tests on 8/10/2023 concluded the experiment, and the SPSS system statistically processed the collected data, leading to the conclusions and applications that axial stability exercises with varying back muscle contractions enhance the level of low beta EEG signals. To improve volleyball players' explosive abilities, coaches should prioritize physiological (EEG) signals measurement in line with their sports technology. Mobile balance tools used in axial stability training should be suitable for the players' abilities and ensure their safety from sudden falls or injuries.
Pengaruh Budaya & Lingkungan: Pandangan Hindu Terhadap Perempuan & Cara Mendampingi Tumbuh Kembang Anak
Authors: Khairunnisa Khairunnisa , W Wiwin Kristiani , Manullang Selvia , T Febria Niastuti , H Rohmi
Published: June 2024

Agama hindu adalah salah satu dari 6 agama yang diakui oleh Indonesia. Indonesia memiliki populasi hindu terbesar ke empat setelah India, Nepal dan Bangladesh. Para penganut agama Hindu yang berasal dari Hindia di Indonesia Khususnya di Kota Medan sudah banyak terpengaruh terhadap budaya sekitar sehingga sedikit melunturkan budaya yang mereka bawa dahulu. Cara pandang penganut Hindu mengenai perempuan cukup menjadi sorotan sebab jika dilihat dari kisah para dewa dewi kedudukan perempuan dapat diartikan sebagai sumber kehidupan yang disimbolkan sri devi. Bahkan menurut kitab Weda, Tuhan membelah dirinya menjadi dua bagian yang sama yaitu satu bagian menjadi laki-laki dan satu bagian menjadi perempuan. Oleh karena itu, laki-laki dan perempuan punya kedudukan yang sama karena berasal dari bahan yang sama. Tuhan dalam manifestannya tidak akan mampu menjalankan tugas jika tanpa saktinya yaitu dewi sebagai sosok seorang wanita. Hal ini tergambar jelas saat memasuki kuil tempat para penganut Hindu beribadah. Saking istimewanya Hindu mempatkan sosok perempuan, perempuan yang sedang mengandung akan dianggap sebagai seorang manusia yang sedang membawa anugerah dari dewa karena dianggap membawa dan menjaga jiwa yang nantinya kan menjelma kedunia. Karena itu, selama seorang perempuan mengandung maka akan dijaga, dihormati dan penuh dengan ritual peribadatakan untuk mendoakan serta menjaga ibu dan bayi selalu aman. Selain itu, keistimewaan perempuan yang sedang mengandung bila ia adalah ia boleh memakan apapun walaupun ia seorang vegetarian selama ia mengandung asal itu demi kebaikan ibu dan bayi. Setelah seorang perempuan melahirkan maka pola asuh anak akan berbeda sesuai dengan asal keluarganya. Namun tentunya selama proses kehidupan manusia tidak luput dari proses ritual, doa dan pemujaan untuk menjaga keimanan seorang penganut Weda. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan melakukan observasi mendalam diperkuat dengan hasil wawancara oleh pendeta setempat serta dokumnetasi sebagai bukti pendukung penelitian.

Empresas utilizam práticas do Lean Manufacturing (LM), porém, apresentam dificuldades em mensurar a maturidade para aperfeiçoá-las e direcionar metas. Diante deste contexto, objetivou-se avaliar a maturidade das práticas do LM de uma empresa de fios e cabos. Para tanto, utilizou-se o modelo Avaliação de Maturidade, que mensura 17 princípios, divididos nos Elementos Estruturais (EE): filosofia (3); processos (6); pessoas e parceiros (5); resolução de problemas e melhoria contínua (3). No total, 6 gestores e 21 colaboradores das áreas de operação e suporte responderam os questionários. Os princípios: criar valor para o cliente; identificar a cadeia de valor; usar a gestão visual; e ver por si mesmo para compreender a situação, convergiram no mesmo nível de maturidade entre os grupos. Além disso, os colaboradores da operação obtiveram o nível de maturidade mais baixo. Analisando os EE, percebeu-se destaque positivo para a filosofia com grau 4 (integrado), enquanto os demais se enquadraram em grau 3 (sistemático), com a nota global da organização em 3,80. Por fim, a metodologia utilizada forneceu um conjunto de metas objetivas para melhoria de processos, identificando seus pontos fortes e fracos, permitindo traçar planos levando ao desenvolvimento organizacional.
