Authors:   Universidad Politécnica de Francisco I. Madero, Santiago-Santander J.
Published: April 2024

Forage production is of great importance because it is a livestock input for the nutrition and feeding of the livestock sector. The objective of this project was to evaluate the effect of soil improvers on the yield of Avena sativa and Vicia faba to enhance agricultural productivity in alkaline soils in the upper Mezquital, Hidalgo; in order to ensure livestock feeding in this area. A completely randomized block experimental design was used. The use of organic amendments such as 150 kg ha-1 of manure supplied to the soil favored the biomass yield in oats (13,179 kg ha-1) and it should also be noted that the A-ES treatment reported a lower injection cost ($5,405) and a higher net profit ($11,057). 5), in the bean crop, the supply of organic amendments, minerals and phytohormones favors the yield in this forage, it should be noted that this treatment had a higher investment cost ($6,320) and lower net profit, both compared to the production system of this area. With the above, producers are invited to supply organic matter to the soil to increase the yield in forage productivity

Environmental responsibility as part of corporate social responsibility in Mexico
Authors: Carmona-García Laura Georgina
Published: April 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a
crucial commitment for companies, reflecting their
dedication to environmental care and sustainable
development. This commitment involves a focus on
preserving the planet and promoting practices that ensure
respect for the natural environment, along with a balanced
attention to the fundamental aspects of the economy and
society. While Mexico has made significant progress in
disclosing environmental financial information through
the Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, there is a limitation in
disseminating this information among smaller companies.
This raises the question of whether corporate social
responsibility could create an obligation to issue
sustainable information and whether specific regulations
are necessary to govern the disclosure of environmental
financial information. To address these questions, a
thorough investigation involving the careful review of
representative documents, information issued by national
and international organizations, and current legislation on
the subject is essential. Therefore, it is crucial for Mexico
to strengthen its efforts to ensure a better response to the
need for transparency in environmental issues,
Comparison of microstructure and mechanical properties of industrial pure aluminum produced by powder metallurgy and conventional rolling
Authors: Salgado-Lopez Juan Manuel
Published: April 2024

Aluminum alloys are produced by different manufacturing
techniques and each technique produces a unique
microstructure. One of the most versatile manufacturing
methods is powder metallurgy (P/M) because it produces
a final fine or ultrafine grain microstructure. But it requires
powder consolidation and densification processes after
P/M. In the other side, Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is now
recognized as a very interesting technique to densify
advanced materials with a high potential. The aims of this
work are: to produce an AA1100 aluminum billet by
powder densification followed by HIP and to compare its
microstructure and mechanical properties against the ones
of an AA1100 aluminum plate produced by conventional
rolling. The mechanical properties were measured using
tensile test and Charpy test. The results show that the
tensile strength of the P/M+HIP sample is higher than the
one of the aluminum plate, but the yield strengths are
similar. In the other hand the impact toughness results are
very different from each other.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: la determinación del gasto energético es fundamental en los pacientes críticos debido a que la subalimentación o sobrealimentación aumenta su morbimortalidad.
Objetivo: determinar la exactitud y concordancia de la medición del gasto energético en reposo (GER) por calorimetría indirecta (CI) y tres fórmulas predictivas (Harris-Benedict, Regla del pulgar y Penn State) en pacientes ventilados de una UCI de Manizales, Colombia. 
Métodos: se incluyeron 31 pacientes hospitalizados en el S.E.S. Hospital Universitario de Caldas, con ventilación mecánica ≥48 horas. El GER se calculó para todas las variaciones de peso corporal. Como una medida de precisión de las ecuaciones, se calculó la distribución de pacientes con GER por debajo del 80 % del medido por CI (subestimación), entre 80 % y 110 % (adecuado) y >110 % (sobreestimación), y a partir de análisis con Bland- Altman se evaluó la concordancia. 
Resultados: el GER promedio por CI fue de 1441,1 (IC del 95 % 1205,7-1616,5) kcal/kg para mujeres y 1624,5 (IC del 95 % 1414,7–1834,2) para hombres. El análisis de exactitud mostró que la ecuación Penn State calculada con el peso actual tuvo una concordancia del 44,4 % y fue la que más subestimó con peso ideal y ajustado (51,9 %), la regla del pulgar calculada con el peso actual fue la que más sobreestimó (64,6 %) y el análisis con gráficos Bland-Altman mostró sesgos positivos y negativos. 
Conclusiones: se encontró una mala concordancia entre las diferentes ecuaciones predictivas y los valores de GER por CI en pacientes críticamente enfermos de una UCI.

Chrysanthemums have a vast supply of cut flowers but limited use in the farming industry. This is a serious issue that every farmer experiences during harvest. As a result, a formulation of solid perfume from garden chrysanthemums may provide a remedy for this issue. This research aims to create a solid perfume from locally accessible Chrysanthemum x morifolium (Garden Chrysanthemum) and Theobroma oil. The researchers employed Rotary Evaporation to extract essential oils from Garden Chrysanthemum petals and formulate a solid perfume from cocoa butter, beeswax, avocado, and Garden Chrysanthemum oil at the University of Baguio. The formulated solid perfumes underwent tests for their homogenous, hardness/strength, pH, and organoleptic properties. Where the results showed that the three formulations were homogenous, the different concentrations affected the physical appearance of the solid perfume.

Published: April 2024

Death is a matter of great significance in Malay society. It depicts the final process of life in this world. Death marks the first step in traversing the afterlife. Therefore, Malay society places great emphasis on the perfection of funeral management to provide a final tribute to the deceased. Starting from the death throes until after the burial is carried out, various practices based on Sharia and local wisdom are implemented to ensure the perfection of funeral management. Among the practices rich in local wisdom is the use of nine waters in the process of bathing the deceased. The use of these nine waters is widespread among Malay Muslim corpse washers. This writing focuses on the function and reasons behind the implementation of this practice. The study only focuses on local wisdom in the use of nine waters during the bathing of the deceased in Malay society. This study describes the practice of the implemented rituals and explains the reasons and functions of each practice. To achieve this objective, the writing will focus on a literature review of existing literature from electronic journals, classical Arabic-language books, and two manuscripts that serve as basic references for the management of Malay Muslim corpses in the Nusantara, namely Sabil al-Muhtadin and Bughyah al-Thullab, as well as practices carried out in the field. To achieve this objective, the study will combine literature and field research based on interview methods. Qualitative data collected will be thematically analyzed to formulate local wisdom in the use of nine waters during the process of bathing the deceased. The findings of the study indicate variations in the way nine waters are used, but their usage has four functions of local wisdom, namely cleansing the body of the deceased, releasing spiritual and mystical practices, eliminating the effects of bathing water used for the beginning of magic in the Malay world, and healing some physical and spiritual ailments.

Published: April 2024

3D work is a term synonymous with dirty, dangerous, and difficult jobs such as those in the fields of manufacturing, construction, agriculture, mining, and so on. A few people are less interested in entering this field because of the high risk and danger to the workers, in addition to the fact that the wages are not commensurate with the work conditions. To meet the needs of this study, three questions are used: the level of knowledge, the level of existing skills, and the level of awareness of female students related to this 3D job. This study is quantitative in nature, using a questionnaire as a research instrument and distributing it to a total of 175 respondents for fourth and fifth-grade students as a sample. This study was conducted to examine the perception of female secondary school students in Johor Bahru of 3D (dirty, dangerous, and difficult) jobs. The results of the knowledge level of female students in 3D jobs and the level of existing skills of female students in 3D jobs show a medium mean value. While the level of awareness of female students in 3D jobs shows a high mean value.

Authors: Nidhom Ahmad Mursyidun , Mohd Kamaruzaman Fathiyah , Mohamad Yassin Ruhizan
Published: April 2024

This study aims to combine self-directed learning approaches that use four stages with learning that uses animated content in vocational schools in Indonesia. This study seeks to disseminate this approach's effectiveness in improving students' understanding and skills in the context of learning animation. The research methodology involved a quasi-experimental design with an experimental and control group totaling 83 students. The experimental group will receive learning with a self-directed learning approach structured in 4 stages, where students have more control over their learning process. Meanwhile, the control group will receive more conventional learning focusing on animation learning. Data was collected through understanding tests and practical assessments before and after the learning intervention. This test measures students' understanding of animation concepts and ability to apply relevant skills. Data analysis will be performed using appropriate statistical tests, such as paired t-tests. In addition, descriptive analysis will describe student understanding and skills changes in more detail. The results of this study show an increase of 43% in the learning process. This proves the potential of the self-directed learning approach in enriching animation learning in vocational schools. The practical implications of these findings can help teachers and educational institutions develop learning strategies that are more effective and responsive to the needs of students in today's digital era.
LEARNING TAXONOMY FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE: IMPLICATIONS ON CURRICULUM INSTRUCTIONS AND DESIGNS
Authors: Abdullah Norillah , Syed Hassan Sharifah Sariah , Idris Rabiu Garba
Published: April 2024

The prominence of the Western taxonomy of learning has resulted in serious epistemological problems and contradicted the Islamic worldview as it aims mainly at the achievement of the material world. Islam, on the other hand, looks into emphasizing a holistic learning taxonomy that does not merely emphasize knowledge of the mind but also includes the knowledge that is essential for the soul. Employing a qualitative method, this paper attempts to explicate the concepts of ilm, hikmah, and tafakkur, and their implications on one’s life, and draw a demarcation between the Islamic and Western concepts of ilm (knowledge) and hikmah (wisdom). Ultimately, this paper proposes the taxonomy of ilm from the Islamic perspective and presents it as an alternative to contemporary Muslim educators and scholars. The findings of the current study highlight the major distinctions between the philosophies and goals of Western and Islamic taxonomies of learning. The multidimensional approach of "adabisation,” which encompasses the moral values of Tauheed-based knowledge, is also discussed.

Authors: WANG Mingxu , OUYANG Jiangfeng , ZHAO Ziiyan , WU Runze
Published: April 2024

In order to reduce the crushing rate and energy consumption of corn kernels in the pneumatic conveying process, firstly, the conveying wind speed, material-air ratio and corn kernel moisture content as the influencing factors in the conveying process were carried out as one-factor simulation experiments, respectively.Next, we created a test platform for the pneumatic conveying of grain particles, tested it orthogonal using the crushing rate and pipeline pressure drop as conveying performance indices. We then created a regression equation model that connected each test index to each factor in turn. Lastly, we used the response surface method for multi-objective optimization to determine the ideal parameter combinations for the conveying wind speed, which was 25.42 m/s, the material to gas ratio, which was 10, and the moisture content, which was 13.912%.At this time, the corresponding pneumatic conveying indexes are 1.112% crushing rate, 8.725kPa pressure drop, and 0.328kg/s conveying capacity, which provide theoretical and experimental bases for the prevention of crushing and the reduction of energy consumption during the pneumatic conveying of grain particles.
‘Si hablamos de matar mis palabras matan’

Published: April 2024

En los estadios de futbol latinoamericanos es posible escuchar uno de los elementos más notorios en que las barras bravas demuestran su entrega y afición por el equipo: los cánticos. Independientemente del ritmo, sus discursos comunican la memoria colectiva del grupo y la historia oral de los logros del club, misma que pasa de aficionado en aficionado entre quienes los entonan. El tema musical “Matador” del grupo argentino Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, ha sido reapropiado por los barristas hasta ser uno de los cánticos más famosos en las tribunas, emulado en la mayoría de las aficiones de México así como en por lo menos una barra brava de Norte, Centro y Sudamérica, llegando incluso España. Este hecho habla de la conexión, la emulación como forma de admiración y de auto prestigio, además del intercambio de ideas en las tribunas como foros discursivos para estas colectividades. Se eligió trabajar con convergencias y divergencias en las adaptaciones del cántico “Matador”, proponiendo un modelo de clasificación a partir del sentido semántico y la estructura discursiva que los compone, esperando que sirva de base para profundizar en distintos aspectos que trasciendan y/o deconstruyan los discursos que la afición latinoamericana (y una europea) comparten.

The aim of the present research was to develop probiotic delivery systems intended for short-term application in feminine hygiene products. For this, freeze-dried and fresh probiotics (Lactobacillus paragasseri K7), encapsulated into hydroxy-β-cyclodextrins, with and without inulin used as a prebiotic, were at first electrospun onto inert polypropylene carrier fabrics, in order to establish the optimal spinning conditions and confirm the successful formation of fibers. The characteristics of the functionalized materials were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In order to evaluate the functionality of the probiotic delivery systems, in the subsequent stage of the research, the optimum electrospinning formulation was deposited, under the defined optimal conditions, on a different carrier material, namely, a cellulose-based cotton stripe, to get a preliminary demonstration of the suitability of the developed material for its intended application as a feminine hygiene product. For this, the antioxidant properties of the materials and the probiotic release were observed. Experimental results confirmed that the material (cellulose-based cotton stripe/deposited nanofiber) possessed antioxidant properties and released probiotics within 4 hours, being in agreement with the recommended use of such products.

Jute fiber reinforced epoxy (JREp) composites were prepared by the compression moulding technique by varying the fiber content (0, 20, 30 and 40 wt%). Fabricated JREp composites were subjected to a drilling study to observe the impact of factors such as spindle speed (rpm), feed rate (mm/min) and fiber content (wt%) on the output response – torque. A set of experiments were designed and conducted as per Taguchi’s Design of Experiment. The obtained torque results were found in the range from 14.84 to 32.28 N-m. The minimum value of torque was achieved for the composite drilled using an HSS twist drill (90°-point angle) at a high spindle speed (3000 rpm), with low feed rate (25 mm/min) on low fiber loaded JREp composite (20JREp). ANOVA analysis showed that the developed regression model was fairly significant and torque was mainly influenced by the feed rate. Mathematical models were developed for drilling JREp composites using response surface methodology (RSM) and adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), and compared for their efficacy. The coefficient of determination (R2) values for RSM and ANFIS were 0.9778 and 0.9982, respectively, which conveys that both models were beneficial to predict the torque. The average checking error percentage (0.0000222) was obtained for the ANFIS model trained using ‘gbellmf’ membership function with 100 epochs. FESEM images of the drilled surface were captured to analyse the mode of failure endured by the JREp composites.

Arenga pinnata starch (APS) production from APS industrial centers in Klaten, Indonesia, produces Arenga pinnata starch mill effluent (APSME). This waste will undoubtedly harm the environment, significantly reducing river water quality. On the other hand, in Gunungpati, Semarang, Indonesia, durian fruit is abundant, it leaves durian skin waste, which may cause environmental pollution. However, durian skin contains cellulose, which has the potential to be valorized for various applications. Therefore, this study evaluated the preparation of natural coagulant from durian skin cellulose crosslinked with glutaraldehyde for treating APSME from APS industrial centers in Klaten, Indonesia. Durian skin flour (DSF), durian skin cellulose (DSC), and glutaraldehyde-crosslinked durian skin cellulose (DSC-G) coagulants were characterized by proximate composition, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of coagulant dose, pH, and mixing speed on removal efficiency and sludge volume in DSF, DSC, and DSC-G were compared with polyaluminum chloride (PAC). The study assessed the process efficiency in terms of percentage removals for chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD5), total dissolved solids (TDS), and total suspended solids (TSS) as 71.38%, 78.23%, 94.79%, and 96.12%, respectively, with a percentage sludge volume of 24%. The results indicated that the optimum DSC-G dosage was 2500 mg/L with an optimum working area of pH at 5.5 and a mixing speed of 90 rpm. DCS-G has a floc stability of -12.33 mV. This study indicated that DSC-G has the potential to be used as a coagulant for the treatment of APSME.

Objetivo: resumir y analizar la evidencia más reciente sobre el efecto de la administración de vitamina C en el paciente con sepsis. Métodos: revisión narrativa. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica, utilizando los términos de búsqueda “Vitamina C” y “Sepsis”, además de sinónimos, los cuales fueron combinados con los operadores “AND” y “OR”, en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, y MEDLINE. Resultados: basados en los últimos estudios celulares y moleculares, se ha evidenciado que la vitamina C posee propiedades antioxidantes, antiinflamatorias, y microbicidas, pudiéndose obtener cierto beneficio de su uso en sepsis. Mientras algunos ensayos controlados aleatorizados han encontrado un incremento del riesgo de hasta el 20% de morir o presentar falla orgánica persistente, otros han observado una disminución de la mortalidad de hasta un 40%, además de la estancia hospitalaria y duración de ventilación mecánica. Conclusión: a la fecha, la evidencia es heterogénea respecto al posible beneficio en el uso de vitamina C intravenosa como terapia sola o combinada en el manejo del paciente con sepsis o shock séptico. Mientras los ensayos controlados aleatorizados parecieran demostrar ausencia de beneficio, principalmente respecto a mortalidad o persistencia de falla orgánica a los 28 días, algunos meta-análisis tienden a mostrar una reducción del riesgo de muerte. Por lo tanto, sigue faltando evidencia que amplíe este panorama.

This research aims to analyze the sequential influence of stimuli in the form of product posts and beauty influencers on social media that influence various organizations, giving rise to responses in the form of intentions to follow beauty influencer accounts, imitate the beauty influencer's lifestyle, and recommend the beauty influencer. Researchers used quantitative data to collect primary data using survey methods and questionnaires filled out by respondents, distributed online using Google Forms. The research results show that brand-influencer compatibility positively influences followers' perceptions of advertising posts, followers' perceptions of influencer credibility and the influencers themselves. Perception of advertising posts also positively influences followers' perceptions of the influencer's credibility and perceptions of followers' behavior towards the influencer. Likewise, the credibility of influencers positively influences followers' behavior towards influencers and followers' intentions to continue following accounts, imitating influencers, and recommending influencers to others. Meanwhile, followers' behavior towards influencers positively affects followers' intentions to continue following accounts, imitating influencers, and recommending influencers to others.
Influence of ground cover and tunnels on production of Red Russian kale in urban gardes

Kale, Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala, is an important urban crop for human health and may potentially be grown year-round even in a temperate climate. We investigated black plastic and straw mulch compared to bare soil cover in low tunnels at 10 urban garden sites and in low tunnels within a high tunnel in the USA to ascertain the influence on yield and nutrients of Red Russian kale, soil temperature, air temperature, weed pressure, and aphid abundance. Kale had low yield in garden sites, likely because the outside environment was too cold for low tunnels to gain and retain heat. Cultivating kale in a high tunnel resulted in good yields, especially when paired with a low tunnel and plastic or straw mulch, which resulted in the highest air and soil temperatures. The amount of minerals in plants within the high tunnel largely did not vary across combinations of low tunnels and ground covers, except for copper and sulfur, which were lowest in plots with no low tunnel or ground cover. Also, dietary fiber was higher when no low tunnel or ground cover was used compared to plots with a low tunnel and no ground cover. Weeds were suppressed by straw and black plastic mulch, but none of the ground covers influenced aphid abundance. Overall, our work demonstrates that Red Russian kale can be grown in a temperate climate during winter with some combinations of tunnels and ground covers.
