Enhancing the quality of Kasgot biofertilizer using Pichia cecembensis UNJCC Y-157 and amino acids to boost mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) growth
Authors: Ariskaa Riska , Surono  , Sukmawati Dahlia
Published: December 2024

Mustard greens (Brassica juncea L.) is a crop with relatively high productivity due to its abundant soil nutritional content. Soil fertility enhancement is commonly achieved through fertilization. Kasgot fertilizer, a biofertilizer derived from the residue of black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) larvae that consume fermented feed, serves as an eco-friendly option beneficial for plant growth. This organic waste is fermented with microorganisms, specifically the yeast Pichia cecembensis UNJCC Y-157, provided by the Jakarta State University, along with added amino acids. This study aimed to determine the effects of P. cecembensis UNJCC Y-157 yeast and amino acids on BSF larval growth and to assess the impact of the resulting kasgot fertilizer on mustard greens growth. This research used a completely randomized design (CRD) with three treatments, including one control, with five replications on fermented BSF larvae feed. For the application of kasgot fertilizer on mustard greens, four treatments with four replications were applied, with data analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that BSF larvae fed with added P. cecembensis UNJCC Y-157 yeast and amino acids had superior wet weight, observed through morphological characteristics. Additionally, in terms of mustard greens growth, parameters such as plant height, leaf count, leaf width, leaf length, and fresh weight showed that kasgot fertilizer containing P. cecembensis UNJCC Y-157 yeast yielded better than morphological outcomes in the plants.
Land suitability evaluation for sugarcane cultivation based on agroecological zoning system in East Java Indonesia
Authors: Purnamasari Riska Ayu
Published: December 2024

Agroecological zoning system is essential to accelerate the production of plantation crops such as sugarcane. This is a tool that helps to identify the most suitable areas for growing specific crops based on the physical and biological characteristics of the land. The ideal conditions for sugarcane growth can be achieved from optimal planting land conditions and adequate climate and fertilization. Land use planning is key to the sustainability of plantation crops in Indonesia. In this study, we used land suitability evaluation for sugarcane cultivation using an agroecological zoning system. Multisource of suitability criteria was used from the thematic map that included the land use/land cover map, slope map, rainfall map, and soil type map as physical and biological characteristics of the land. On the land suitability map for sugarcane cultivation, the results are in the form of land area that was adjusted to the Food and Agriculture Organization indicators regarding land suitability class. We found that 23.20% of the area (11,149.49 km2) was very suitable for sugarcane cultivation, 30.18% (14,499.67 km2) was moderately suitable, 36.05% (17,321.71 km2) was marginally suitable, and 10.55% (5,068.25 km2) was not suitable for sugarcane plantation. In this study, it was found that around 1,114,949 ha of land in East Java had the potential to become sugarcane plantations based on the agroecological zoning system. This research recommended that the integrated approach of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with satellite remote sensing vegetation datasets utilization might help to develop the site-specific management of sugarcane plantations.

Los “crepúsculos finiseculares” y “los molinos de viento” en el Taiwantisuyo y la Gran Comarca
Authors: Zulma Palermo
Published: December 2024

Estas páginas giran alrededor de algunos interrogantes acerca de la posible relevancia del pensamiento mariateguiano en este presente andino invadido por nuevas estrategias de colonialidad. Persigo para ello la huella que va dejando en el largo siglo XX y las marcas advertibles hoy en algunas formas de producción social y de conocimiento, a través de un arco tendido entre el pensamiento mariateguiano y la “opción decolonial”. Este recorrido se centra específicamente en dos cuestiones de relevancia: la relativa a la racialización de la vida social y a las crisis de los cambios de Era. Busco así las marcas de alguna transformación positiva en “este lugar del mundo”.
El cronotopo de Mariátegui. Del lado de Allá. Una cartografía de la República Mundial de las Letras
Authors: Carlos García-Bedoya Maguiña
Published: December 2024

El ambicioso proyecto, personal y social de Mariátegui, implicaba, entre otras muchas cosas, la construcción de lo que en términos más actuales se denominaría una hegemonía política y cultural que atrajera ante todo a las jóvenes generaciones. Para construir esa hegemonía, su discurso tenía que ser un discurso situado, en el tiempo y el espacio. Muy lejos de un supuesto universalismo metafísico o de un cogito abstracto, la atención al cronotopo, a las coordenadas espacio-temporales de la enunciación discursiva, permite entender que el pensamiento del peruano integra ambos componentes, lo contemporáneo (mundial, internacional, cosmopolita) y lo peruano (local, nacional, regional). Ambos son los anclajes imprescindibles y complementarios de su pensamiento, las dos piernas en que apoyará su andadura intelectual. En lo que sigue, se hace una somera revisión de las figuras intelectuales, sobre todo escritores, que concitan la atención del Amauta. Se la organiza en dos secciones (de sabor cortazariano): Del lado de Acá y Del lado de Allá. En este artículo sólo se hará hincapié en “el lado de allá”, esto es, la escena literaria mundial dejando “el lado de acá” para otra oportunidad.
Perspectivismos cosmológicos, subjetividades mayas y ontologías poshumanas
Authors: Arturo Arias
Published: December 2024

Los perspectivismos cosmológicos plantean un problema político y ontológico al ubicarse en oposición al pensamiento occidental. A diferencia de su rígido status quo, ejerciendo así su dominación, las cosmologías de los Pueblos Ancestrales no dividen el mundo entre lo natural y lo humano. En tanto que sujetos cosmocéntricos activan una epistemología relacional, compartiendo su condición con seres ubicados más allá de lo humano. Desde la perspectiva de este artículo, la clave reside en que el pensamiento occidental no reconoce la agencia de la naturaleza ni se desmarca del capitalismo global. Se propone, entonces, examinar aspectos de esta contradicción analizando Pixan, el cargador del espíritu (2014) la última novela publicada por el escritor maya jakalteko Víctor Montejo y algunas de sus otras obras citadas, dado que Montejo se ha caracterizado, tanto como escritor y académico, en luchador de sus conocimientos como fundacionales mundos de vida y marcadores de la diversidad cultural. La argumentación problematizará esta oposición conceptual, abordando algunos textos de Montejo antes de enfatizar Pixan para ilustrar y afirmar esta problemática.

La comunidad epistémica nacida en torno a la declaración “Por la liberación del indígena” (1971-1995)
Authors: Alejandro Paredes
Published: December 2024

Se analizará la estructura de una comunidad epistémica conformada principalmente por antropólogos que rompieron con la visión que buscaba integrar a los pueblos indígenas a las sociedades nacionales latinoamericanas y lucharon por sus derechos y autonomía. El recorte temporal inicia con la participación en el primer simposio en 1971 hasta la publicación de la tercera declaración en 1995. La metodología escogida es el Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS) a partir de los vínculos entre 52 autores que participaron de las mismas publicaciones colectivas y las nubes de palabras para el análisis de las declaraciones que emitieron. A partir de la descripción de los eventos académicos que dieron origen a las tres declaraciones emitidas, se indagó sobre la centralidad y periferia de algunos intelectuales, encontrando a cinco subgrupos bien diferenciados. Se demuestra que el núcleo central estuvo conformado, principalmente, por antropólogos latinoamericanos, en tanto que dos de los subgrupos periféricos hicieron aportes fundamentales para la existencia de esta comunidad epistémica. El subgrupo integrado por intelectuales vinculados a ISAL y al Consejo Mundial de Iglesias contribuyó con recursos económicos que visibilizaron esta comunidad en sus inicios. El otro subgrupo, conformado por dirigentes del movimiento indígena que solo asistieron al segundo encuentro, aportó recursos ideológicos clave para la confección de la segunda declaración de Barbados.

Desterrados de todas partes: procesos de gentrificación en Chilco de Daniela Catrileo
Authors: María Fernanda Libro
Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo propongo un abordaje de la novela Chilco (2024), de la escritora mapuche Daniela Catrileo. Me interesa centrar la lectura de la obra en la representación del conflicto en torno a las crisis habitacionales de las grandes ciudades latinoamericanas, señalada en la novela en términos de gentrificación. La hipótesis que guía esta reflexión sostiene que las escrituras mapuche producidas desde las ciudades escenifican la conflictividad suscitada por el mercado de suelo como capítulo ulterior de la larga historia de despojo territorial y migración forzada. Si, con la consolidación del Estado liberal a partir de la expansión republicana -denominadas a uno y otro lado de la cordillera como Pacificación de la Araucanía y Conquista del desierto-, la ciudad significó un salvoconducto para tantos indígenas reducidos en sus tierras, ahora, en la reconfiguración urbana neoliberal, se ven nuevamente expulsados y forzados al desplazamiento. En este sentido, el suelo constituye, para los mapuche urbanos y para otras identidades en las que se intersectan un origen étnico y una clase determinada, la actualización de aquello que José Carlos Mariátegui postulaba en términos del “problema del indio”, señalando con este sintagma la no tenencia de la tierra.
Presencias de la voz en las literaturas indígenas chaqueñas. Proyecciones a partir de dos versiones de la historia de Asus, el Murciélago, en Laureano Segovia y John Palmer
Authors: Pamela Rosa Amelia Rivera Giardinaro
Published: December 2024

La expresión literatura oral es tema de debates que problematizan la reunión de ambos conceptos resemántizandolos o proponiendo otros. Situándome en esos cruces, me propongo pensar cierta producción cultural, oral o escrita, pasible de agruparse bajo los términos literaturas indígenas chaqueñas, entre otras poéticas de Abya Yala. Para ello, revisaré un relato de Amanda Solares, Celina Pérez y José Martínez (de Kilómetro 1 y Kilómetro 2, Departamento Rivadavia, Salta, Argentina) titulado “Asus p’alha p’ante wet ifwala p’alha p’ante/ Leyendas del murciélago y el sol”, incluido entre los trabajos del escritor wichí Laureano Segovia y publicado en Olhamel tha ohapehen wichi. Nosotros, los wichí (2011). Transitando desde la oralidad (Lienhard, 1994) a la escritura wichí, entre lo indígena y lo occidental, los desplazamientos fronterizos en los trabajos de Segovia nos muestran el profundo origen hablado de tales producciones, en el seno del cual la escritura es herramienta de una memoria oral comunitaria, indígena y no occidental, que la antecede y enmarca. Por eso, pondré en diálogo el escrito de Segovia con otra versión del mismo relato: "Murciélago y su esposa infiel" en las voces de Tomás Felix (de Sitio Cerrado, Departamento San Martín, Salta, Argentina, 1978) y Chenpā (de Lapacho Mocho, Departamento San Martín, Salta, Argentina, 1979), anotadas por el antropólogo John Palmer en La buena voluntad wichí. Una espiritualidad indígena (2005). Finalmente, atenderé a cuestiones sobre la lengua como transmisora de voz y memoria (Zumthor, 1991) y la escritura wichí en estrecha relación con ella. El fin es desprender consideraciones a propósito de nociones como literatura oral/ literatura de tradición oral (Espino Relucé, 2010), literaturas alternativas (Lienhard, 1992) y oralitura (Huamán, 2013; Chihuailaf, 2000). Asumo que las mismas, aportarán al conocimiento de las literaturas indígenas chaqueñas que menciono aquí.

Authors: Callie Rizma Riendani  , Indiarta Raghda Atshila S  , Afif Abhinaya  , Ahmad Ridlo Abdillah  , Bahy Dzaky Mufadhol
Published: December 2024

This research wants to find out how social media algorithms influence what political news is read by young people today, namely generation Z in Indonesia. We found that this algorithm makes young people more likely to only see news that aligns with their political opinions. So they have increasingly strong views on one side and find it difficult to accept different opinions. This is the same as if we only talk to people who have the same opinion as us, so we become less open to other people's views. This research is important, because it shows how serious we are in learning to be able to assess the truth of the news we read on social media, so that we are not easily influenced by wrong or biased information.

Authors: Konak Fatih , Özkahveci Esra , Şeker Yasin
Published: December 2024

Bu çalışmada, Etkin Piyasalar Hipotezi (EPH) çerçevesinde piyasa etkinliği ve anormal getiriler konusu ele alınmaktadır. EPH, piyasaların mevcut tüm bilgiyi fiyatlara yansıttığını ve bu nedenle yatırımcıların anormal kazanç elde etme olasılığının olmadığını savunmaktadır. Ancak, davranışsal yanılgılar ve piyasa anomalileri, bu hipotezi sorgulayan durumlar yaratabilmektedir. Örneğin, savaşlar ve doğal afetler gibi büyük olayların finansal piyasalar üzerindeki etkisi, zaman zaman bu teorinin öngördüğü etkin fiyatlamaların ötesinde sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. 7 Ekim 2023’te başlayan Hamas-İsrail Savaşı, dünya genelinde olduğu gibi Türkiye ve bölgedeki piyasaları da etkilemektedir. Bu bağlamda, BIST 100 Endeksi'ndeki firmalar, olayın ardından ilk iş gününde piyasa katılımcılarının verdiği tepkilerle birlikte değerlendirilmektedir. Olay Çalışması metodolojisi, belirli olayların finansal piyasalardaki etkilerini analiz etmek için kullanılan yaygın bir yöntemdir ve bu çalışmada da bu metodoloji kullanılarak piyasanın tepkileri incelenmektedir. Bu kapsamda araştırmada 7 Ekim 2023’te başlayan savaşın, piyasadaki varlık fiyatları üzerinde nasıl bir etki yarattığını anlamak için savaş sonrası ilk işlem günü analiz edilmiştir. BIST 100 Endeksi’ndeki firmalar bu bağlamda incelenmiş ve ortalama piyasa tepkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma, piyasaların bu olaylara tahmin edilebilir ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir tepki verdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Yapılan analizler, BIST 100 Endeksi'ndeki firmaların savaş sonrası dönemde anlamlı piyasa tepkileri gösterdiğini ve piyasaların bilgi temelinde etkin bir şekilde hareket ettiğini göstermektedir. Bu da, Etkin Piyasalar Hipotezi'ne göre piyasaların anında bilgiye tepki verdiğini, ancak savaş gibi büyük olayların anlık piyasa anomalilerine yol açabileceğini ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuç olarak, savaş gibi büyük ölçekli olayların piyasalarda kısa vadeli etkiler yaratabileceği, ancak uzun vadede piyasanın bu tür bilgileri fiyatlara doğru şekilde yansıtarak etkinliğini koruduğu anlaşılmıştır.

Authors: Md Salman
Published: December 2024

Predictive maintenance has emerged as a pivotal strategy in managing the operational efficiency of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) across various industrial applications. This paper explores the integration of machine learning (ML) algorithms to enhance predictive maintenance capabilities within WSNs. By leveraging the vast amounts of data generated by sensor nodes, ML techniques can anticipate potential failures, optimize maintenance schedules, and reduce operational costs. We evaluate several ML algorithms, including Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Neural Networks, and Support Vector Machines, assessing their effectiveness in predicting maintenance needs. The study employs a comprehensive methodology encompassing data collection from real-world WSN deployments, feature selection, model training, and evaluation based on accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Our findings indicate that Neural Networks and Support Vector Machines outperform other algorithms in terms of predictive accuracy and reliability. These results underscore the significant potential of ML-driven predictive maintenance in enhancing the longevity and performance of WSNs. The implications of this research suggest that adopting advanced ML techniques can lead to more resilient and efficient sensor networks, ultimately supporting the broader goals of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Authors: Dileram Bansal  , Dr.Rohita Yamaganti
Published: December 2024

The advent of 5G technology has ushered in significant advancements in wireless communication, particularly through the utilization of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. However, the high path loss and susceptibility to blockages at mmWave bands necessitate efficient beamforming techniques to ensure reliable and high-capacity communication. This paper presents a comprehensive implementation and analysis of a hybrid beamforming technique tailored for 5G mmWave systems. By combining analog and digital beamforming, the proposed hybrid approach aims to balance the trade-offs between hardware complexity and beamforming flexibility. The study encompasses the design framework, simulation environment, performance metrics, and comparative analysis with existing beamforming methods. Results indicate that the hybrid beamforming technique significantly enhances spectral efficiency and energy consumption while maintaining manageable hardware costs, making it a viable solution for next-generation wireless networks.

Background: Problems in the breast can present themselves in different ways like pain in the breast, discharge from nipples, cystic lesions and most commonly a lump.  Breast lump is of great concern to the patients and is also challenge to the diagnostic acumen and judgment of the surgeon. This will be beneficial in early diagnosis and treatment, reducing its morbidity and mortality more over this study will provide us with local statistics of the magnitude of breast lump and this will open window for further research.
Objective:  To determine the diagnostic accuracy of FNAC of breast lump with the histopathology as a gold standard in diagnosis of breast cancer.
Material and Methods: The current study was conducted at Department of General Surgery, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar for six month (from 2/7/2019 to 27/01/2020). A total of 179 women were observed in which women presenting with palpable breast lump, in age between 35 years to 60 years were included.  Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the patients with breast lump was performed with 22-gauge needle, mounted on a 10-ml syringe. Excision biopsy was done for small tumors or lump found benign on fine needle aspiration cytology and histopathology of mastectomy. Histopathological slides of corresponding cytological cases were correlated. The collected data was entered and analyzed in SPSS version 22. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of FNAC were calculated.
Results: Our study shows that among 179 patients, mean age was 53 years ± 10.45. FNAC had sensitivity 90.22%, specificity 80%, PPV 99.36%, NPV 19.04% and diagnostic accuracy was 89.94% in the diagnosis of breast lump keeping histopathology as a gold standard. 
Conclusion: Our study concludes that Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a simple, safe and minimally invasive diagnostic test that is accurate in detecting breast lumps, with a high correlation rate to histopathology. When used in conjunction with histopathology, FNAC can ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of breast lumps.

Engineering project management has an emerging critical methodology called Lean Six Sigma that attempts to significantly improve the operational excellence of engineering projects. It provides a critical, structured approach toward leveraging the principles of waste reduction in Lean with data-driven problem-solving skills in Six Sigma. The present study reviews the practical application of LSS practices for the purpose of improving the outcomes of engineering project management in the context of defect reduction, process optimization, and operational efficiency. This paper examines the methods of Lean Six Sigma (LSS) interventions in engineering project management, with reference to defect management, resource utilization, and the efficiency of the production line. Focusing on results-oriented applications of LSS concepts, the paper uses various datasets, including manufacturing flaws, upkeep schedules, and quality assurance indices, to assess the effectiveness of their application in project settings. More particularly, this paper explores the ways through which Lean Six Sigma, with emphasis on the DMAIC framework (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control), can improve project effectiveness by reducing defects and optimizing resource consumption. Examining the data on production and the frequency of defects the paper reveals how LSS methods help in analyzing the inefficiencies in the systems, improving the production processes and resulting in the cost cutting exercise. To reap the benefits of LSS, you get process improvements that help to ensure there is a cut on wastage and defects leading to increased customer satisfaction and better project outcome. The results reaffirm the significance of PA within LSS and recommend implementing it in project management frameworks to approach possible defects and operational issues. The study demonstrates how Lean Six Sigma methodologies can be a roadmap for CI, thus proving how the methodologies could be of importance to engineers in achieving improvement across their projects. LSS can impact the quality of engineering projects through improvement of defect rates while at the same time the operational cost is reduced and efficiency of project timelines is enhanced hence leading to improved quality and efficiency in terms of financial performance. This study offers important findings that can help engineering managers understand how the use of big data analytics resources can bring considerable improvements to the organization’s performance, productivity, and overall performance comparative to rivals. Comparing the findings, LSS is identified as an essential enabler of cultural change and providing value through better project outcomes and sustainable performance improvement.

Published: December 2024

Growth hormone can be effectively and non-covalently communicated with by a growth hormone binding protein (GHBP), also referred to as a soluble carrier protein.  Accurately recognizing the GHBP from a certain protein sequence is crucial for comprehending biological processes and cell growth.  In the postgenomic era, a lot of protein sequence data has been gathered, which makes it even more urgent to build an integrated computational method that can quickly and precisely identify possible GHBPs from a huge number of candidate proteins. In this work, we provide iGHBP, a growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) predictor tool.   To date, scant attention has been paid to protein descriptors, such as the amino acid index, which is a collection of 20 numerical values that indicate different physico-chemical and biological attributes of amino acid sequences and Dipeptide Composition (DPC), are used in feature extraction approaches. This study introduces a novel machine learning predictor called accurate computational identification of growth hormone binding proteins (ac-iGHBPs), utilizing an innovative gate recurrent unit (GRU) technique. We performed a cross-validation investigation to demonstrate the effectiveness of our feature selection process, and the results showed that iGHBP had an accuracy of 84.9%, 7% higher than the control very random tree predictor trained with all characteristics. Furthermore, in an objective examination on a different data set, our new iGHBP strategy performed better than the existing method.
