Published: October 2022

Bu çalışmada Deriner barajı ve HES Projesi’nin sosyo-ekonomik etkileri sürdürülebilirlik kavramı çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Deriner Barajı ve HES Projesi’nin ekonomik sürdürülebilirliği incelendiğinde yerli ve milli enerji üretimine katkı sağlayıp, enerjide dışa bağımlılığı ve enerji ithalatını azaltarak ülke ve bölge ekonomisine katkı sağladığı görülmektedir. Projenin toplumsal sürdürülebilirliği ise olumlu ve olumsuz unsurlar barındırmaktadır. Proje sürecinde sular altında kalan alanlarda istimlak bedelleri farklı ücretlerle ödenmiş, kamulaştırılan alanların bir bölümünün tarım arazisi olması nedeniyle tarım alanları daralmış, ilin tarımsal üretim potansiyeli düşmüş ve sonuçta tarımsal gelir azalmıştır. Ancak bu olumsuzların yanında barajın inşaat ve işletmesi dönemlerinde yöre halkı için istihdam imkânı sunması, hayvancılığın gelişmesi, arıcılık ve balıkçılık gibi yeni iş imkânlarının oluşması da olumlu toplumsal etkiler olarak sıralanabilir. Son olarak Deriner Barajı ve HES Projesi’nin kültür balıkçılığı ile turizm ve rekreasyon potansiyelleri de ekonomik ve toplumsal sürdürülebilirliğini artırma yönünde katkı sağlayabilecek niteliktedir.

Authors: DÜNDAR Abdullah Oktay
Published: October 2022

Tedarik zincirlerinin küreselleşmesi ve e-ticaret hacminin sürekli artması, lojistik operasyonları daha karmaşık hale getirmekte ve maliyetleri arttırmaktadır. Özellikle şehir içinde son adım teslimatlarda küçük hacimli yük sayısının artması, lojistik işletmelerin kapasitesini zorlamakta, teslimatta gecikmelere, trafik tıkanıklığına, emisyonların artmasına ve müşteri memnuniyetsizliğine neden olmaktadır. Bu sorunlara bir çözüm ve yeni bir iş modeli olarak son yıllarda kitle kaynak lojistik(KKL) kullanımı hızlı artmaktadır. KKL’de lojistik hizmet, gönüllü katılımcıların oluşturduğu bir kitle tarafından, yine bu kitlenin sahip olduğu kaynaklar kullanılarak üretilmektedir. Dijital bir platform aracılığıyla lojistik talep yine kitle içindeki lojistik arz ile eşleştirilmekte, ödeme ve izleme gibi işlemler çevrim içi ortamda gerçek zamanlı olarak gerçekleştirilmektedir. KKL az yatırım gerektirmesi, lojistik süreçlerin aracısız ve daha hızlı gerçekleştirilmesi, düşük maliyetleri sebebi ile her geçen gün yaygınlaşmaktadır. Diğer taraftan esnek taşıma modları kullanımı, özellikle şehir içinde düşük emisyonlar, daha az trafik sıkışıklığı ve artan hava kalitesi gibi sürdürülebilirlik parametrelerine katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkçe literatür için çalışma yapan akademisyenleri ve lojistik sektör çalışanlarını kitle kaynak lojistik kavramı ile tanıştırmak ve konu ile ilgili ulusal çapta yapılacak çalışmalar için zemin hazırlamaktır. Bu amaçla çalışmada, KKL’nin işleyişi, çeşitleri, avantajları ve zorlukları ele alınmış olup, gelecek çalışmalar için önerilerde bunulmuştur.

Performance Analysis of Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) Tools in .Net 6 Environment
Authors: GÜVERCİN Abdullah Eren , AVENOGLU Bilgin
Published: October 2022

ORM tools are frequently used in projects developed by object-oriented programming paradigm. Software developers generally look at the performances of these tools when they select an ORM tool. Most of the performance studies on ORM tools are limited to processing time and RAM usage information, and CPU usage information is not included. Moreover, no ORM performance study has been found in the literature, conducted in .NET 6, which is an open-source and platform-independent new generation .NET platform. In this study, to close the mentioned gap in the literature and guide the software developers, we conduct research for analyzing performances of certain ORM tools in .NET 6. Our study includes CPU usage information as well as processing time and RAM usage information. We develop a software for measuring processing time, RAM and CPU usage while performing read, insert, update, delete, search and sort operations with Dapper, NHibernate and Entity Framework Core (EF Core) ORM tools. As a result, while Dapper is best in terms of processing time for read, delete, search and sort operations, EF Core has the best results for insert and update operations. We conclude that Dapper has the best performance in terms of resource usage, while the rankings of EF Core and NHibernate vary among themselves according to the number of records and operation type.
Digital Rights as Objects of Civil Rights in Russia
Authors: Mograbyan A. S.
Published: October 2022

Following a comprehensive study and analysis of theoretical provisions and private law regulation, the author identifies specific features of the definition of digital rights as an object of civil rights and assesses the emergence of the new concept of «digital rights» for domestic civil law in the legislation. Particular attention is given to the wording of the concept of digital rights contained in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The main problems that gave rise to numerous discussions in the science of civil law regarding the legal definition of digital rights are identified. Attention is drawn to the fact that, according to the current civil legislation of the Russian Federation, digital rights include only those that are directly named as such in the law. Following a systematic analysis of the current legislation and doctrinal provisions in the area under study, the author concludes that the transferability of digital rights is limited. The adopted federal laws on attracting investments using investment platforms and on digital financial assets are considered, utilitarian digital rights and digital rights that relate to digital financial assets are analyzed. Attention is also given to other problems that arise as a result of the modernization of civil law regulation of public relations in the field of digital rights, for example, regarding the contradictions in the terminology used by the legislator that give rise to numerous discussions (in particular, «information systems» when defining the category «digital rights»), and possible mechanisms to overcome them. The conclusion is made about the importance of the appearance in the domestic civil legislation of norms on digital rights, indicating the desire of the legislator to respond in a timely manner to the challenges of the transforming digital reality, which will serve as a necessary prerequisite for further regulation of civil law relations that are rapidly changing under its influence.

Authors: Kurashova Nadezhda A. , Dashiev Bair G. , Kolesnikova Lyubov I.
Published: October 2022

BACKGROUND: The study of the influence of ethnicity on human health is relevant at present.
AIM: To evaluate the antioxidant status of blood and ejaculation in infertile men in different ethnic groups.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Results of a survey of 222 Caucasians and 143 Mongoloids with pathozoospermia from infertile couples were used for the current retrospective analysis. The control groups comprised healthy men with realized reproductive function (97 Mongoloids and 104 Caucasians). The materials for biochemical studies were blood plasma and ejaculate. The analyses involved the use of spectrophotometric, fluorometric, and statistical methods of research. In the blood and ejaculate of the examined men, the total antioxidant activity was determined as an indicator characterizing the total activity of lipid peroxidation inhibitors and determining its buffer capacity, the concentration of fat-soluble vitamins retinol and -tocopherol, and the level of superoxide dismutase.
RESULTS: The blood of Caucasian men with infertility was compared with that of fertile donors. The analysis revealed a decrease in the concentration of retinol by 27% (р=0.0001) and -tocopherol by 25% (р 0.0001), as well as the activity of superoxide dismutase by 5% (р=0.0002). In the ejaculation of male Caucasians with infertility, we discovered a decrease in the concentration of -tocopherol by 17% (р=0.0011) and an increase in total antioxidant activity by 21% (р=0,0004). The antioxidant defense system in Mongoloid men was characterized by an increase in retinol concentration by 24% (р=0.0002) and total antioxidant activity by 13% (р=0.0261), as well as a decrease in superoxide dismutase activity by 8% (р=0.0001). The results of the study of the antioxidant defense system in the ejaculate of Mongoloid men with infertility showed a decrease in the concentration of -tocopherol by 15% (р=0,0322) and an increase in the level of total antioxidant activity by 17% (р=0.0432).
CONCLUSION: The data gathered allowed for an evaluation of the characteristics and the role of the antioxidant status in the general homeostasis of the organism of males of various ethnicity, who are infertile, despite being of reproductive age. A common mechanism for reproductive dysfunction present in the two ethnic groups is the lack of -tocopherol concentration and a compensatory increase in the total antioxidant activity in the ejaculate, as well as a decrease in the activity of superoxide dismutase in the blood of the examined men. The blood of Mongoloids is characterized by a compensatory-adaptive increase in the total antioxidant activity and retinol concentration, which contrasts with Caucasians, whose antioxidant status of blood is characterized by the inhibition of the non-enzymatic link of antioxidant protection.
The Experiences of a Disabled Dominatrix
Authors: Cooper Ness
Published: October 2022

This paper uses autoethnographic data to examine how sex work and disability converge  within commercial female domination and BDSM realms. It explores the nuances around access to healthcare and even internal sex work support when disability is involved. There are few accounts of disability and professional dominatrix work and how it can affect being a successful entrepreneur. This autoethnographic account explores common questions people have regarding BDSM and being a disabled working professional. Exploring the relationships between mobility aids and sex tech, access to medical support, and giving, receiving, and mediating different forms of pain and its influence on sex work, and in particular professional dominatrix work. This paper investigates the importance of fluidity in human sexuality and how ableism can shape sexuality, including within both lifestyle and professional lives of sex workers. There’s a glimpse into how disability can affect orgasm, but also how ableism and the whorearchy can dictate that those who identify as professional domme’s should be anorgasmic and aren’t entitled to consensual sexual gratification. When exploring sex and disability, adaptive equipment needs highlighting more. Within this paper, I highlight not only purpose-built devices but sexual aids available within the BDSMsphere that can allow access to pleasure in ways that are rarely spoken about. And most importantly, I explore how navigating the healthcare system as a sex worker and pro-domme isn’t as straight cut as it should be, how activists’ messages from previous years are still being echoed, and how many sex workers, allies, and myself are still chanting the mantra for equity in healthcare for sex workers and those who practice kink. It is a much-needed look into queer crip theory and the world of professional dominatrix sex work that hasn’t been platformed before.

Published: October 2022

In situ bioprinting has emerged as a promising technology for tissue and organ engineering based on the precise positioning of living cells, growth factors, and biomaterials. Rather than traditional in vitro reconstruction and recapitulation of tissue or organ models, the in situ technology can directly print on specific anatomical positions in living bodies. The requirements for biological activity, function, and mechanical property in an in vivo setting are more complex. By combining progressive innovations of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and digitalization, especially robotics, in situ bioprinting has gained significant interest from the academia and industry, demonstrating its prospect for clinical studies. This article reviews the progress of in situ bioprinting, with an emphasis on robotic-assisted studies. The main modalities for in situ three-dimensional bioprinting, which include extrusion-based printing, inkjet printing, laser-based printing, and their derivatives, are briefly introduced. These modalities have been integrated with various custom-tailored printers (i.e., end effectors) mounted on robotic arms for dexterous and precision biofabrication. The typical prototypes based on various robot configurations, including Cartesian, articulated, and parallel mechanisms, for in situ bioprinting are discussed and compared. The conventional and most recent applications of robotic-assisted methods for in situ fabrication of tissue and organ models, including cartilage, bone, and skin, are also elucidated, followed by a discussion on the existing challenges in this field with their corresponding suggestions.

Published: October 2022

Background: Since breast milk is one of the ways of transferring toxic elements from the body, breast milk infection in any form can have adverse effects on the development of the baby. This study aims to investigate the effect of education on knowledge, attitude, and practice of breastfeeding mothers about heavy metals transferred by breast milk.
Method: In this interventional study, 100 women referring to Abarkooh health centers were selected and randomly divided into case (n = 50) and control (n = 50) groups. The data collection tool was a questionnaire consisting of four parts, including background questions and knowledge, attitude, and practice. Then, eight two-hour classes were held weekly during two months by food health and safety expert in coordination with the test group. At the end of two months after the last training session, the questionnaires were repeated between the two groups (post-test).
Results: The mean score of knowledge, attitude, and practice of the mothers in the intervention group after training significantly increased (P < 0.05), while in the control group no significant difference was observed in the variables before and after the intervention. There was a significant difference between mean of knowledge, attitude, and practice in mothers with demographic variables only between knowledge and education level (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results showed that breastfeeding training program had a positive effect on promoting the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the mothers. Therefore, it seems that continuous and varied educational programs are required to prevent the occurrence of heavy metal poisoning caused by breast milk and its consequences in infants.

Published: October 2022

Background: Exposure of potato tubers to light causes accumulation of glycioalkaloids in the tubers and overdose of glycoalkaoids are associated with some toxicity. This study aims to investigate the effect of consuming sunlight exposed tubers of Irish potato on some selected tissues of rats.
Methods:Freshly harvested tubers of Solnum tuberosum were purchased from a farmland and were randomly grouped into five groups. Groups 1- 4 consisted of tubers exposed to sunlight (including visible and invisible light e.g. ultraviolet) for a period of 1, 2, 3, and 4 week(s), respectively, while group 5 served as the control and consisted of freshly harvested tubers of Irish potato that have not been exposed to sunlight. The glycoalkaloids content was determined in both the non-exposed (control) and sunlight exposed tubers. Thereafter the tubers were formulated as diet and administered to rats. Biochemical analyses on serum lipid profile, enzymes of selected tissues (serum, liver, and kidney) and lipid peroxidation were carried out.
Results: The results showed that the total glycoalkaloids content of the exposed sunlight groups (230, 250, 270, and 300 mg/kg fresh weight, respectively) significantly increased compared to the control group (100 mg/kg fresh weight). A significant reduction (P < 0.05) in activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and a significant upsurge (P < 0.05) in alkaline phosphatase activity was observed in the selected tissues of sunlight-exposed potato tuber animal groups compared to the (non-exposed) group. Lipid peroxidation assessment revealed a significant upsurge (P < 0.05) in malondialdehyde formation and a mild alteration in serum lipid profile.
Conclusion: The study concluded that consumption of sunlight exposed Solanum tuberosum tubers may pose a threat on vital organs of the body irrespective of duration of exposure.

Background: There is limited evidence regarding the risk factors and nutritional patterns in patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dietary patterns and risk factors in patients with PCAD.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on PCAD patients, including men younger than 55 years and women younger than 65 years, who underwent coronary angiography in the Angiography Department of the Shahid Mohamadi Hospital, Bandar Abbas, Iran. Anthropometric and clinical examination, demographic questionnaires, and containing dietary intake and physical activity questionnaires were filled for all participants.
Results: The most prevalent risk factors for obstructive PCAD in the 65 selected patients were family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) (73%), hypertension (52%), and overweight/obesity (50%). Daily consumption of hydrogenated fats (P = 0.008) and high-fat milk (P < 0.001) were significantly higher in obstructive PCAD patients compared to non-obstructive and non-PCAD patients. Daily consumption of fruits was significantly higher in non-obstructive and non-PCAD patients compared to obstructive PCAD patients (P = 0.039).
Conclusion: Family history of CAD, hypertension, and obesity were found to be the most common risk factors among obstructive PCAD patients.  According to the findings, increased consumption of high-fat milk and hydrogenated fats may increase the risk of PCAD, whereas, daily consumption of fruits may reduce the risk of PCAD.

Published: October 2022

The tectonic activity that occurs in the Southeast Sulawesi Province causes this area to be traversed by many geological structures in the forms of faults trending Northwest-Southeast, and it is estimated that it is still active today. One evidence of the activity of these faults is the emergence of geothermal manifestations of Lainea. Therefore, this research was conducted to prove the level of tectonic activeness of an area as a part of mitigating potential natural disasters that might occur. This research activity aims to determine the level of tectonic activeness in the research area. So that from this purpose, the researcher uses the method, namely the quantitative geomorphic method, which includes morphotectonics analysis using the Digital Elevation Model data combined with direct observation of the type of lithology, geomorphological features, and geological structures that develop in the study area to produce a Relative Tectonic Activity Index. The results obtained from this study where the class of tectonic activity in the study area is divided into three tectonic activity classes, namely high tectonic activity classes in watersheds 4 and 7 with an area of Â± 20.5 km2, medium tectonic activity class in watershed 1, 5, 6, 8, 9 with an area of Â± 40.9 km2, and low tectonic activity class in watersheds 2 and 3 with an area of Â± 12.8 km2. Areas that have a high tectonic activity class have the potential for seismic hazards caused by the movement of geological structures found in the study area.

Authors: Arnomo Sasa Ani , Ibrahim Noraini
Published: October 2022

Mutation testing is an effective technique for errors. Although effective, mutation testing has the main limitation that it is awfully expensive because it requires a series of tests on each mutant. Therefore, many researchers have focused on presenting various techniques to reduce the cost of mutation testing. In this study, the MT-Forward algorithm was developed. The concept of MT-Forward is mutation testing that connects the selection and prediction methods. As a result of the selection, the mutant operator can make a more efficient selection of the number of mutants obtained. The shrinkage of the selected mutants was from 1,019 live mutants to 749 live mutants as a priority. There are 15 features used in this study. The required features are obtained from the Locmetrix Test, Coverage Test, and Mutation Testing. The accuracy value of each method is almost the same, which distinguishes this study is the selection of important operators who prioritize improvement programs without reducing the level of accuracy. Where the PMS Method uses 43 Mutant Operators, PMT Method 22 Mutant Operators, while MT-Forward uses 7 mutant operators as priority mutant operators. The method used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm is 5-fold cross-validation. The accuracy of each method is PMS 57.14%, PMT Method 57.14%, and MT-Forward is 95.00%. MT-Forward states that combining mutant selection techniques and project category prediction is important for fixing faults.

Published: October 2022

The case of Low Birth Weight (LBW) in Indonesia is still high. Based on data from the Central Agency on Statistics (BPS), the case of LBW in East Java is still high, with about 20,836 people in 2016 and 14,882 people in 2017. Many factors trigger LBW, especially women's condition and nutritional intake during pregnancy. This study aims to establish a location-based LBW prediction model using a spatial and flexible model. This research was conducted using a Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) model in East Java and a flexible model with a genetic programming approach. Endogenous variables (Y) portrayed LBW cases in East Java and exogenous variables were the Percentage of Early Marriage (X1), Human Development Index (X2), Number of Midwives (X3), K1 Visit (X4), K4 Visit (X5), Consumption of Fe 30 (X6), and Consumption of Fe 90 (X7). Based on the analysis results using the GWR model, global equation models, and local models 38 models were obtained with R2 = 82.06%. Meanwhile, based on the results of the analysis with a flexible model with a deep learning approach, the model was obtained with R2 = 84.8%. From this study, it can be concluded that the GWR model and the flexible model have the same level of accuracy. However, the flexible model can show the non-linear effect of the variables X1 and X3.

Published: October 2022

Programming education is gradually integrated into the school and university curricula. Accordingly, studies in the Computer Science education field have highlighted issues such as high failure rate, memorizing, bugs, the complexity of concepts, motivation, and uconfidence faced by students when learning a programming language, specifically object-oriented programming. These issues require specific learning environments to reach the target audience. Therefore, the objectives of this article are to identify the issues based on previous work and to verify those issues by interview feedback conducted with lecturers in the Department of Computer Science and Information Technology at the Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Following that, the theoretical principles underpinning environments were studied to explore the suitability of these environments for university education based on the identified issues. The investigated environments included Turtle Graphics, Alice, BlueJ, Greenfoot, Snap!, and NetsBlox, a co-located collaborative block-based programming, and OOPP were studied and used to teach and learn object-oriented programming. Based on the interviews with experts, we found that students still had issues when learning programming, which involved memorizing, bugs, the complexity of concepts, unconfidence, communicating with students during a calamity (distance learning), and a number of students in labs. We conclude that these environments focus on some issues and ignore others, and no single environment satisfies all these issues, which causes students to be demotivated. In a further study, all these issues will be addressed by developing a learning environment, and its effectiveness shall be tested.

Authors: Kusumadewi Sri , Rosita Linda , Wahyuni Elyza Gustri
Published: October 2022

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has long-term, very detrimental effects, including chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes mellitus. Therefore, early detection of MetS is very important. Numerous global health organizations have made some Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) diagnosis criteria, but they are still mostly in a dichotomous form. On the other hand, a continuous MetS risk score has been proven to be more sensitive and with less risk of error. This study aims to build a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) model. MetS diagnostic criteria issued by NCEP-APT III are used as a reference for generating rules. This model uses max, probor, and additive functions to obtain membership values as a result of rules aggregation in seven steps: 1) Identification of variables; 2) Determination of fuzzy sets and their membership functions; 3) Knowledge base generation; 4) Implementation of the implication functions; 5) Fuzzy rules aggregation; 6) Defuzzification; 7) Performance testing of the model and selecting the best aggregation function. The findings show the max function as the most suitable function for the aggregation process with an accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and precision value of 100% according to the measurement results with NCEP-ATP III. A continuous risk score between 0% and 99.99% is considered a non-high risk, whereas a score of 100% indicates a high risk. This function also has an ideal risk value distribution according to the neighborhood level of the NCEP-ATP III diagnostic criteria.

Published: October 2022

Protein isolation from beans is commonly carried out to increase protein availability and digestibility. Protein isolates made through the spray drying process have functional properties and characteristics. The variation of spray drying inlet air temperatures affects the properties of jack bean tempeh protein isolate (JTPI). The protein of jack bean tempeh was extracted and isolated using the method of the isoelectric point approach. The isoelectric point of jack bean tempeh was determined at a pH of 4.20 using the turbidimetry method. The research aimed to identify different inlet spray drying air temperatures on the physical characteristics and functional properties of JTPI. The spray drying method of JTPI was carried out using variations in inlet temperatures were 140Â°C, 150Â°C, and 160Â°C, and then moisture content, protein content, water holding capacity (WHC), and microstructure by Scanning Electron Microscopy were determined. The results showed that the 150Â°C inlet air temperature variation gave the lowest value for JTPI moisture content (3,91Â±0.04%). In comparison, the 160Â°C inlet air temperature variation gave the highest value for JTPI protein content (49.6Â±0, 30%) and JTPI water holding capacity (3.89Â±0.03 ml/g). The microstructure of JTPI obtained was porous, with a more spherical shape found at lower inlet temperature but wrinkled at the higher inlet temperature. The inlet temperature also affects the particle size JTPI. The inlet temperature of 160Â°C can be carried out to produce JTPI, which requires both high protein content and water holding capacity.

Published: October 2022

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is an alternative solution to the limited availability of fossil energy. CNG use's advantages include high octane value, applicable to vehicles requiring large power, cost-effectiveness, and lower emissions. However, applying the old CNG kit leaves emission problems and fuel wastage during deceleration. Although numerous studies have been carried out with numerous variables to improve engine performance and emissions, reports regarding deceleration interventions are still limited. Therefore, this study proposes enhanced modeling to optimize the fuel cut-off controller by applying fuzzy logic by controlling the throttle valve position based on the input sensor of the engine. Engine dynamics, fuel characteristics, and intake systems are considered strictly in the development of the control system to obtain more precise results that refer to the complete combustion process. The designed model has advantages over previous studies, which focused on achieving CNG AFR stoichiometry to improve fuel economy by using the fuel cut-off method during deceleration. The results showed that fuel savings could be increased during deceleration by cutting off fuel flow to the engine. This can be seen from the increase in AFR Â± 57% and decrease Â± 38% - 67% in CNG flow rate during deceleration which is promising to be widely applied. In the future, the proposed model could be used as part of the vehicle component in optimizing the fuel consumption that will support green technology sustainability.

Fatty-imidazolinium electrolytes, waste graphite dispersed composite electrolytes like cocktails (1,3-methyl octyl-1,2,3-benzotiazolium acetateâ€“cis-oleyl-imidazolinium iodide), and graphite exfoliation using cis-oleyl-imidazolinium acetate have been studied to enhance the efficiency of a newly developing dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The DSSCs were fabricated in a sandwich structure and characterized using Solar Simulator. The graphite exfoliation was conducted by sonication and microwave energy, as well as the electrochemical method. Cis-oleyl-imidazolinium iodide efficiency (0.53%) was highest than stearyl-imidazolinium iodide and palmityl-imidazolinium iodide because cis-oleyl-imidazolinium iodide has a double bond and the longest alkyl chain which triggered a self-assembly structure formation and increased the rate of I-/I3- transport in cells. Then, the efficiency of DSSCs-based composite electrolytes was in the range of 0.020â€“ 0.203%. Dispersion of 0.05% of the graphite results in efficiency enhancement of about 100%, but the greater fraction (0.10%) of the graphite causes a poor performance (lower efficiency), possibly due to interference of the internal electron transportation routes in the DSSC by insoluble graphite. After exfoliation, the conductivity of synthetic graphite (11.58 x 10-1 S/cm), new battery graphite (9.32 x 10-1 S/cm), and battery waste graphite (7.96 x 10-1 S/cm) were increased respectively 10 times, 2 times, and 4 times from the graphite before exfoliation due to changes in crystallinity, the distance between layers, crystal size, formation of multilayer graphene, and the occurrence of Ï€ to Ï€* transition. This enhancement of solar conversion efficiency can give a new contribution to the development of DSSC.

In general, many Indonesian students have difficulty learning mathematics. Mathematics is widely used and developed by humans to solve problems in everyday life. However, mathematics is rarely taught as a culturally related subject. The mosque is a cultural embodiment whose ornaments use a lot of geometric motifs. Ethnomathematics studies the relation between mathematics and culture. This research aims to explore the geometry concepts on mosque ornaments, determine how to construct mosque ornaments using geometry concepts, and create contextual geometry problems based on mosque ornaments. The research employed a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method. The research location was the Grand Mosque of Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The researchers act as an instrument of data collection. The triangulation technique is used to generate valid data, which was carried out through observations, interviews, and literature studies. Data condensation, data display, and concluding were used to analyze the research data. This research showed that the Grand Mosque of Bandung ornaments have geometry concepts, namely points, lines, angles, triangles, squares, rhombuses, kites, trapeziums, hexagons, circles, translation, reflection, rotation, and dilation. Mosque ornaments can be constructed using geometry concepts. In addition, contextual geometry problems can be created based on mosque ornaments. These results indicate that the ornaments of the Grand Mosque of Bandung are rich in geometry concepts. Therefore, mosque ornaments can be used as alternative learning media to overcome students' mathematical difficulties, especially in geometry material.

Shallot plants in the horticultural plant require fertilizers and pesticides to grow and develop. This research focuses on the factors that influence the behavior of shallot farmers in the use of pesticides using the approach of predisposition, enabling, and reinforcing factors. This research was conducted using a quantitative descriptive approach in Lembah Gumanti, Alahan Panjang Subdistrict, Solok Regency, West Sumatra. The selection of Solok Regency was carried out purposively because Solok is the largest shallot production area in West Sumatra. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Square structural equation modeling. This research showed that (1) dispositioning factor do not have a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides; (2) enabling factor has a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides; (3) reinforcing factors have a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides; (4) Disposing of factors has a significant effect on the intention of shallot farmers in using pesticides; (5) intention has a significant effect on the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides. Thus, our study discovered that dispositioning traits have no obvious effect on the pesticide use behavior of shallot producers. However, enabling, reinforcing, and disposal variables and intention all have a significant effect on shallot producers' pesticide use. Further research is recommended using the interview to obtain comprehensive results regarding the dispositioning factors that do not significantly affect the behavior of shallot farmers in using pesticides.
How is Pelagic Sargassum-Associated Biodiversity Assessed? Insights from the Literature
Authors: Alleyne Kristie
Published: October 2022

Over the past decade unprecedented blooming of pelagic Sargassum has occurred across the Equatorial Atlantic from West Africa to the Caribbean. Although pelagic Sargassum mats are considered beneficial in the open ocean, providing valuable habitat for a diverse array of endemic and associated species, they also inundate coastal areas and cause a plethora of management challenges for fisheries, tourism, nearshore coastal ecosystems, public health and the socioeconomic welfare of coastal communities. In—water harvesting has been suggested as a desirable management solution to prevent shoreline inundation, but destruction of the associated biodiversity is a concern with this approach and has not been adequately examined. Furthermore, in—water harvesting methods within the Tropical Atlantic and Caribbean have been ad hoc and highly variable with no established sampling protocol. Here we review 30 published studies detailing methods to collect information on the biodiversity associated with pelagic Sargassum. Nets, hook and line, video recordings, bare—hands and plastic bags have all been used to collect epiphytic, clinging and free—swimming fauna associated with Sargassum. Net sampling was the predominant method; however, in the absence of a standardized approach a wide range of net types and sizes were used. Similarly, separation, identification and preservation methods were all unstandardized. This review highlights the need for standardization and provides the first set of guidelines for the collection and assessment of Sargassum—associated biodiversity. Nevertheless, these approaches are labor intensive and require extensive replication in time and space to produce a reasonable assessment of the biodiversity associated with the Sargassum community.

El terremoto de 1746 y la gestación de la conspiración de Lima de 1750
Authors: O’Phelan Godoy Scarlett
Published: October 2022

El artículo busca establecer conexiones entre el desastre natural de 1746 y la conspiración de Lima de 1750 como parte de la coyuntura a mediados del siglo XVIII, en la que los movimientos sociales de cierta envergadura atravesaron por un proceso de maduración. El desamparo que el terremoto ocasionó en la población pobre, como resultado de las deficiencias higiénicas, incidieron en brotes de intranquilidad social. Desde los disturbios de los indios olleros en el barrio de Santa Ana en 1747 hasta el plan fraguado tres años después por indios y otros personajes envueltos en la confabulación, el miedo colectivo fue utilizado como mecanismo de control y oportunidad para la insurrección.

Authors: Lévano Medina Diego
Published: October 2022

El terremoto de 1746 es un hito importante en la historiografía peruana por su trascendencia como movimiento telúrico y sobre todo por su impacto desde el punto de vista económico, político y social en la sociedad peruana del siglo XVIII. Este artículo pretende aportar una nueva visión a través de uno de los cuerpos sociales más significativos para la población limeña de la época: la cofradía. Abordo el papel que cumplieron estas corporaciones frente al terremoto y cómo se vieron afectadas material y espiritualmente. Además, cómo el proceso de reconstrucción material y administrativo luego del terremoto las enfrentó a la reforma general de estas corporaciones impulsadas desde la península a finales de la década de 1750.
