Revisiting Indonesia New Airport Buildings: towards Building Systems Integration
Authors: Ridzqo Intan Findanavy , Dwiyanto Hermawan Indra
Published: January 2024

Momentum pembangunan infrastruktur biasanya memperlihatkan kemajuan pengetahuan dan teknologi yang diterapkan pada rancangan dan hasil yang terbangun. Pembangunan yang terus dilakukan selama dua dekade terakhir di bidang transportasi, termasuk di dalamnya adalah pembangunan bandara di Indonesia. Strukturnya yang luas membuat bandara ini memerlukan penanganan khusus dalam sistem operasi bangunan, yang membuatnya berbeda dengan jenis bangunan lainnya. Perencanaan yang matang dan terintegrasi dari komponen-komponen bangunan diperlukan agar desain bangunan menjadi efisien dan efektif. Minimnya penelitian di bidang arsitektur dengan objek fungsi bangunan bandar udara membuat penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi tonggak sejarah, dan pembelajaran bagi para perancang untuk dapat melangkah lebih jauh dari praktek yang selama ini dilakukan. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi sistem utama, subsistem, dan elemen-elemen pembentuknya pada bangunan CGK, KJT, YIA, DPS, BPN, PKY, dan MDC melalui observasi sumber-sumber domain publik, kemudian dianalisis untuk menemukan kemiripan antar bangunan bandar udara. Strategi integrasi yang paling mudah dan umum dilakukan adalah dengan menggabungkan komponen mekanikal atau non-struktural dengan komponen struktural (E-M), sedangkan strategi integrasi yang paling sulit dilakukan adalah dengan menggunakan material struktur yang memiliki banyak peran sekaligus (S-E-M-I).
Corredores ecológicos e a proteção da biodiversidade brasileira
Authors: Ferreira Daniel Brantes , Carneiro Paula Angélica Reis
Published: January 2024

A biodiversidade vem sendo constantemente ameaçada por diversos fatores, entre eles o aumento da degradação e da fragmentação de ecossistemas naturais, resultado dos elevados níveis de perturbações antrópicas, ou seja, aquelas ocasionadas pela ação humana; o uso indiscriminado dos recursos naturais aliado à falta de consciência ecológica da população que compromete, cada vez mais, a qualidade da vida e a perpetuação das espécies no planeta. O presente artigo tem como objetivos identificar os diversos conceitos científicos de corredores ecológicos existentes, ressaltando sua importância e avançando nos requisitos legais para a implantação deles, bem como analisar, com base no conhecimento acerca dos corredores ecológicos, o necessário avanço normativo como condição para melhor implantação desses e a garantia da proteção dos espaços constitucionalmente protegidos. Optou-se pelos métodos de pesquisa bibliográfica e exploratória; bem como o método hipotético-dedutivo, a fim de analisar o objeto em estudo. Chega-se à conclusão de que, além da complexidade terminológica que dificulta a implantação dos corredores ecológicos no Brasil, a legislação e os respectivos procedimentos, ainda insatisfatórios, configuram óbices para garantir a sua efetiva implantação, conforme o plano de manejo legalmente exigido para a unidade de conservação e seu entorno.
morte e a morte das vítimas da covid-19 no brasil: o direito à memória enquanto resistência à necropolítica em tempos de pandemia do coronavírus
Authors: Nascimento Carlos Eduardo Gomes
Published: January 2024

O presente artigo expõe uma análise sobre o direito fundamental à memória em tempos de crise da pandemia do novo coronavírus (Covid-19). A memória (um legado de experiências, sentimentos e fatos) de milhares de pessoas vitimadas pelo Covid-19 passou a ser um fator de disputa pelo poder. Em meio a esse conflito, o texto problematiza como devemos preservar a memória dos mortos pela Covid-19. Partindo de uma experiência de perda pessoal do autor, apresentamos alguns conceitos (biopolítica e necropolítica) para refletir a relação entre a morte, o direito e o estado. O corpo perece com a morte, mas também a memória pode morrer, quando a história dos que se foram é sufocada, ao não ser transmitida às futuras gerações. Por fim, reivindica à memória como direito fundamental que pode vir a ser um modo de combate ao esquecimento deliberado em tempos de crise.
Understanding Human Trafficking In The Perspective Of Al-Azhar Interpretation (Review Surah Yusuf [12]: 19-20)
Authors: Nur Afrizal , Yuzar Sri Kurniati , Ananda Fadhli
Published: January 2024

The aim of this study was to the phenomenon of human trafficking that occurred in the Prophet Yusuf and at this time. Human trafficking is a phenomenon that has occurred long before the Prophet Muhammad was born. This phenomenon has even been experienced by the Prophet Yusuf AS. The Prophet Yusuf was abandoned by his siblings, sold by travelers who found him, and made into slaves by those who bought him. There are two academic problems formulated in this study. First, how is the interpretation of QS. Yusuf [12]: 19-20 in Al-Azhar's interpretation of human trafficking. Second, how is the practice of human trafficking that occurred in the prophet Yusuf and the current era. This type of research is a qualitative research using a library research approach. The results of this study contain two main findings, namely; (1) QS. Yusuf [12] asserts about the crime of human trafficking experienced by the prophet Yusuf. In this case, Prophet Yusuf was sold by a traveler who found him in a well and then sold him at a very low price and made him a slave. (2) The practice of human trafficking that occurred in the prophet Yusuf and the present era has almost the same form. If the prophet Yusuf was treated like a slave, traded and so on, then in the present era such crimes still occur. Tuti Tursilawati as a migrant worker from Indonesia who worked in Saudi Arabia also received cruel treatment from her employer. Tuti was forced to work hard and was not paid, and she was often sexually harassed. Actions like this are a form of trafficking crime in the current era. Keyword: Human Trafficking, Prophet Yusuf, Slavery, QS. Yusuf [12]: 19-20, Tafsir Al-Azhar
WHEN RELIGION APPROACHES SCIENCE; An Interpretation of Ziauddin Sardar's Integrative Islamic Education Thought
Authors: Arbi Arbi , Herlina Herlina , Syarifuddin Syarifuddin , Hanafi Imam , Dewi Eva , Anwar Abu
Published: January 2024

The aspiration of most Muslim intellectuals is how to break the scientific dichotomous dilemma that has been rooted so strongly in the history of Islamic Education. Among those Muslim intellectuals is Ziauddin Sardar. The epistemological construction built by Sardar, to integrate science and religion is to make the Qur'an and Hadith as the basic foundation for the development of Islamic science. Islamic science must fulfil the following requirements, namely tawhid (God's divinity), khalifa (God's guardian), 'worship, 'ilm (knowledge), halal (permissible things), haram (prohibited things), 'adl (social justice), zulm (tyranny), istishlah (public interest), and diya' (waste). Educationally, the process of developing Islamic education for Sardar is to internalise values with the spirit of Islam, namely fulfilling the ideals of the Islamic worldview, such as brotherhood, social justice, proportional use of natural resources

Published: January 2024

The multidrug resistant member of Enterobacteriaceae is common causes of community related infections. A study on antibacterial resistance and phenotypic detection of Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae isolated from environmental sources in Nasarawa state, Nigeria was carried out. A total of 400 samples comprised of air, water, soil, vegetable, and sewage were collected and 89 samples were multidrug resistant. Enterobacteriaceae were isolated and identified using commercial biochemical kit Eneterosystem 18R. The antibacterial susceptibility testing of Enterobacteriaceae isolates was carried out using the clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI). The phenotypic confirmation test of ESBL was carried out by double disc synergy test (DDST) method. The occurrence of multidrug resistant isolates shows that Escherichia coli (24.71%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (19.10%) find to be high while the occurrence of Proteus mirabilis and Citrobacter freundii (6.74%) were low. The Enterobacteriaceae isolates were more resistant to Cefuroxime, Cefexime, Amoxicillin Clavulanate and Imipenem/Cilastatin with percentage resistance ranges from 62.5%–100%. The occurrence of ESBL producers shows that Klebsiella pneumoniae (66.7%) and Shigella flexneri (57.14%) were found to be high while the occurrence of ESBL was low in Proteus mirabilis (20.0%). The Beta Lactam and gentamycin antibiotics were not effective against the MDR isolates and most of the isolates were ESBL producers.
Budovat ráj – Bourat peklo
Authors:   University of West Bohemia, Krejčík Přemysl
Published: January 2024

Monografie Budovat ráj – Bourat peklo zkoumá obrazy diktatur dvacátého století projevující se v dílech fantastické literatury, která do jisté míry stále ještě stojí na okraji vědeckého bádání. Zaměřuje se především na odrazy komunistické ideologie v dystopické a utopické literatuře, zároveň na předobraz komunistické ideologie ve starší utopické literatuře, a také na reflexi nacistické ideologie v literatuře dieselpunkové. Autor bádá o kontinuitě utopického a dystopického psaní od barokní literatury po současnost, přičemž utopie uvažuje zejména (avšak nejen) v jejich propagandistické variantě zaměřené na dobývání vesmíru, v dystopiích se ptá po otázce kolektivní i osobní identity a v případě dieselpunku hledá nejen samou podstatu žánru, ale také jeho projevy v české a evropské literatuře, stejně jako spojení s totalitarismem.

Authors: Dian Mariani
Published: January 2024

Ethnomathematics could be viewed as an effort to look back at how mathematics integrated in culture and life. Ethnomathematics appears to rectify the perception that mathematics has nothing to do with everyday life. This perception, directly or indirectly influences students’ understanding of mathematical concepts and alsi influences students’ interest in learning and developing these concepts. This study aims to examine the mathematical aspects contained in the attributes used in Temu Manten Tradition, especially the tradition carried out in Madiun City. In this article, the research is limited to only a few attributes used in Temu Manten. Ethnographic approach is  used in this research. The results of subsequent research were processed qualitatively, so that it was concluded that the attributes used in this tradition, with deeper exploration could be associated with mathematical concepts, specifically on geometrical aspects such as plane, including transformation,  perimeter or circumferences and area of the plane , solid geometry, congruency of triangles,  rotating object, volumes of rotating objects,  the rotary axis and the constant volume

"The modern development of culture motivates the appearance of new modifications of the play element, based on the concept of Homo Ludens by J. Huizinga. The article substantiates a new scientific concept – remixing as the dominant principle of the organization of artistic matter. A definition of this concept is provided. The specificity of its manifestation is thought over using examples from pop culture, academic musical art (in particular, the creativity of the pianist-composer M.-A. Hamelin, the sketch duo Igudesman & Joo, the Rondo Veneziano orchestra), authentic performance, the opera genre (productions of “Alcina” by G. Handel, “La Cenerentola” by G. Rossini), products of the TV industry. The main vectors of the remixing process are characterized in accordance with the realization of the final artistic goal. The organic nature of the interaction of play logic with the combinatorial thinking of Homo Modernus is revealed. Keywords: principle of remixing, modern culture, remix, play element, Homo Ludens, Homo Modernus."
Definitory Characteristics of Pianistic Expression in the Contemporary Jazz
Authors:   Faculty of Music, Transilvania University, Brașov, Romania. Email: florin.balan@unitbv.ro., Bălan Florin
Published: January 2024

"The general fundamental approach of improvisation, of the creative moment in jazz leads succinctly to the question of whether this phenomenon is a product or a process. The jazz perception as a product assumes that the recordings accompanied by the related transcripts represent that product (final) which is used for analytical purposes by taking harmonical-melodical characteristics. It is important to remember the aspect by which these transcripts do not fully express the essence of improvised thinking and elaboration but are only a starting point in identifying key characteristic features. The possibility of representing a replica of the artistic act produced on stage, however, is not a real one. Visualizing the improvisation process as a practical way of creative performance is therefore an essential aspect of the artistic act. This should be considered together with the product, especially when synthesizing models or indicators that define the personal style of the instrumentalist. Previously, some jazz critics defined the vision of the two modes as an inseparable dichotomy, which is the basis of multi-dimensional analytical possibilities. Beginning in the ’60s, jazz is marked in the expression and elaboration of pianistics by Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Bill Evans and later by Keith Jarrett. They implement a variety of contemporary jazz elements, melodical-harmonic expressions that will be taken over and will obviously lead to a new evolutionary stage. Keywords: jazz, pianistic improvisation, spontaneity, creativity, harmonic knowledge, contemporary"
Examples in the Development of Clementi’s Four-Hand Piano Sonata
Authors:   Faculty of Music, Transilvania University, Brașov, Romania. Email: valentin.muresan@unitbv.ro., Mureșan Valentin
Published: January 2024

"Muzio Clementi exploits the possibilities of duet texture more, individualizing the middle voices as a separate layer. However, it cannot compete with the refinement of the interweaving of voices in Mozart’s duets. The bass and middle voices often provide a supporting function for the melodic material concentrated in the primo part. Clementi’s four-hand sonatas are among the earliest significant works of four-hand piano in musical history. They reflect the composer’s individual and intense journey through the genre and the variety of his approaches. Keywords: Muzio Clementi, Sonata, piano four-hands, development"
La palabra escrita, la palabra hablada y la palabra traducida en los museos del triángulo del arte de Madrid
Authors: Alas Mínguez Olga
Published: January 2024

Los museos dependen del lenguaje para elaborar su discurso museístico. Los textos son necesarios y cubren funciones muy diversas. El lenguaje se puede presentar de forma oral o escrita, pero en ambos casos la traducción resulta fundamental para completar la función comunicativa del museo. La palabra traducida se dirige al público extranjero y la traducción se debe realizar teniendo en cuenta tanto la subordinación del texto origen a las obras expuestas, como su posición en la jerarquía de los otros textos del museo. En los museos del triángulo del arte de Madrid está presente la palabra escrita, la palabra hablada y la palabra traducida; los tres museos siguen una estrategia adecuada en cuanto a la traducción de los textos que producen. Mediante el análisis detallado de las audioguías que se ofertan en estos museos madrileños, elegidas como ejemplo de texto oral, y de los catálogos de exposiciones temporales, elegidos como ejemplo de texto escrito, llegamos a la conclusión de que la oralidad o la escritura puede influir en ciertos aspectos traductológicos, como en la elección de la(s) lengua(s) meta(s) o en la autoría de las traducciones.
Understanding the role of Norway as a facilitator in the Venezuelan peace process
Authors:   Master’s Degree in International Affairs and Diplomacy, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC – Open University of Catalonia) and United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), Marín Nicolás Miriam
Published: January 2024

This study offers a comprehensive overview of the Norwegian involvement in the Venezuelan peace process as a facilitator of the peace talks between the Venezuelan government and the opposition. It explains what Norway does as a facilitator (the process), as well as how (approach) and why (characteristics of Norway as a suitable mediator, and possible interests), not only in terms of the characteristics making Norway a suitable facilitator, but also its interests and motivations. The main goal is to draw attention to the importance and the usefulness of soft power tools for the achievement of foreign policy objectives and, in particular, peace-making. The study concludes that, for Norway, mediation as foreign policy is, in general but also in the case of Venezuela, the result of a combination of idealist, value-oriented motivations (humanitarian reasons and international stability), and realist, non-altruistic interests (status and access) arising from its constructed national identity and role conception.
Islamofobia, negritud, género y misogynoir: vivir en los márgenes de la invisibilización social
Authors: Kajakeh Aisetou , Dembaga Susoko Jenabou
Published: January 2024

Hablar de islamofobia hacia comunidades negras africanas y afrodescendientes es difícil de abordar debido al orientalismo y a procesos de estereotipación de lo que concibe el ser musulmán, así como la racialización de un estatus espiritual. Esta percepción negativa y reduccionista del islam y de los musulmanes como un ente monolito y homogeneo, refuerza y configura dinámicas de poder. En el estado español, el orientalismo reduce a la persona musulmana bajo el sujeto “moro”, racializando una identidad religiosa desde el miedo y el terror desde unas raíces históricas y estructurales, propiciando un señalamiento social racista que vigila y persigue. Esto ha invisibilizado a otras comunidades que también son objeto de la islamofobia y no entran en los cánones de la otredad de lo “moro”. Se pretende tener una noción más acertada de la realidad de los musulmanes que permitirá a su vez mejorar la identificación de la islamofobia en España.

The proportion of components in field pea and spring triticale mixtures and harvest stage affect crude fiber content and forage digestibility
Authors: Górski Rafał , Płaza Anna
Published: January 2024

The work presents results of a study conducted in 2016–2018 to determine the effect of component share in the mixture and harvest stage on concentration of crude fibre and its fractions as well as digestibility of field pea/spring triticale mixtures. The following two factors were examined in a field experiment: factor I – component share in a mixture: field pea in pure stand 100%, spring triticale in pure stand 100%, field pea 75% + spring triticale 25%, field pea 50% + spring triticale 50%, field pea 25% + spring triticale 75%; factor II – harvest stage: field pea flowering stage (BBCH 65), field pea flat green pod stage (BBCH 79). The concentration of crude fibre and its fractions (NDF, ADF, ADL) were determined in the dry matter in addition to dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility. The lowest content of crude fiber and its fractions, among the mixtures, was revealed in the mixture with the share of components of pea and spring triticale 75% + 25% and 50% + 50%, respectively. Harvesting mixtures at a later stage caused an increase in crude fiber content and its fraction in dry matter. The superior dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility were found for field pea and field pea/spring triticale mixtures containing 75% + 25% and 50% + 50% of the respective components and harvested at the stage of field pea flowering.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical One Health concern with implications for human, animal, plant, and environmental health. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), antimicrobial resistance testing (ART), and surveillance practices must be harmonized across One Health sectors to ensure consistent detection and reporting practices. Veterinary diagnostic laboratory stewardship, clinical outcomes studies, and training for current and future generations of veterinarians and laboratorians are necessary to minimize the spread of AMR and move veterinary medicine forward into an age of better antimicrobial use practices. The purpose of this article is to describe current knowledge gaps present in the literature surrounding ART, AST, and clinical or surveillance applications of these methods and to suggest areas where AMR research can fill these knowledge gaps. The related Currents in One Health by Maddock et al, JAVMA, March 2024, addresses current limitations to the use of genotypic ART methods in clinical veterinary practice.

Acid etch bonding is an accepted and reliable technique widely employed in orthodontic mechanotherapy. In this paper some of the physical and chemical aspects associated with the bonding of orthodontic attachments to human dental enamel are discussed. It highlights some of the intra-oral factors affecting adhesion. The principles of the acid etch technique, the effect of acid etching upon normal human enamel and some biologic aspects of the technique are discussed. Remineralization, decalcification and caries associated with the technique are considered as well as other possible damage to the dental and surrounding tissues.

An understanding of the processes of the acid etch bonding technique will permit its better employment in orthodontic mechanotherapy and secure a permanent place for this method of treatment.
A method of recording condylar movements and joint sounds
Authors: Hannan Patrick J. , West Victor C. , Faulkner Keith D.B.
Published: January 2024

A commercial tracking system has been adapted within the University of Melbourne, which is designed to track the movement of infra-red light emitting diodes, (LEDs). The movement of the diodes was recorded by photosensimetric recording devices, and sent to a data recorder, then to a differential amplifier, and the signal stored on magnetic tape, or viewed on a cathode ray oscilloscope, or plotted on a chart plotter or an X-Y plotter. The equipment was used to track the movement of LEDs, which were secured to a Iower arch face bow, which was in tum secured to the teeth via a universal joint, and an acrylic clutch.

A method was established in a preliminary study, enabling recording of condylar movements in the sagittal plane, and results were presented for four subjects. Subsequently, condylar movements and joint sounds were recorded concurrently for two of these four subjects.

Approching of the Line Concentrated Contact as a Quarter Space Problem - A Review
Authors: Iovan-Dragomir Alina , Creţu Spiridon
Published: January 2024

Concentrated contact frequently occurs between machine elements, leading to the development of various forms of damage: abrasive wear, adhesive wear, and seizure, as well as surface destruction through contact fatigue. Contact fatigue is a typical mode of damage to machine parts (bearings, gears, wheel-track contact, but also cams and valves) under strong and repeated Hertz contact pressure (Kohn and Silva, 2020).

Most concentrated contact problems, where bodies touch at a point or a line, are well described and solved using the assumptions and equations of Hertz’s theory, which associate bodies with elastic half-spaces. In the case of cylindrical bodies of finite length, Hertz’s equations do not correctly describe the state of stresses arising at the boundary. At non-coincidentally concentrated linear contact, these uncompensated stresses lead to the so-called ’end effect’: the pressure increases near the edges of the cylinder of shorter length. These uncompensated stresses have to be taken into account in the geometrical and functional design of machine elements.

In this paper, the main methods of solving the stresses arising at concentrated linear contact with finite length are presented, in approaching the problem as a quarter-space problem.
VUCA Factors Influencing Stakeholder Relationship Management Development: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Ungureanu Cristina–Elena , Sbîrcea Ioana–Alexandra , Chiriţă Rebecca Ana Maria
Published: January 2024

The term VUCA (volatility – uncertainty – complexity – ambiguity) accurately describes nowadays’ high pace society in which changes reshape organisational management structures and impact stakeholder relationship management networks. As such, the influence of the VUCA phenomenon demands a closer evaluation in some of the industries where it had a high impact.

This paper aims to provide the reader with a systematic literature review on the VUCA aspects which influence the development of stakeholder relationship management in specific industries, as well as provide a list of factors that influence organisational management evolution. The papers in scope for this study were selected if they considered the perceived impact stemming from VUCA factors. For this purpose, over 40 academic studies have been identified and analysed against inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicate that engineering education, leadership adaptability and resilience, learning agility, culture of innovation, systemic approaches, and the ability of businesses to drive excellence are some of the most highlighted aspects which can weigh a heavy influence on the development of stakeholder relationship management. Moreover, there is further need for further research into how methods and frameworks react to VUCA effects across industries.

Testing a New Concept of a Self-Adaptive Transtibial Prosthesis
Authors: Fodor Dimitrie-Cristian , Chitariu Dragoş-Florin , Seghedin Neculai-Eugen
Published: January 2024

A considerable number of prosthetic medical devices for amputees are known. These devices do not fully replace the biological functions of the lost limb following lower amputations. In the case of pediatric patients, the problem is even more serious, as they are growing, it is necessary to regularly adjust the height of the prosthesis. Otherwise, a discrepancy occurs in the length of the limbs, that changes the center of gravity of the body of the prosthesis wearer, leading to related and sometimes serious pathologies. Currently, there are only classic, passive modules for adjusting the height of the prosthesis, but which are adjusted manually with low precision and extensive work. The present work contains the method of digital control of the prosthesis that can ensure the motorized height adjustment of the patient’s lower limb. The results obtained from the experimental tests are presented, which indicate that this type of concept is feasible from a biomechanical point of view and can be a technical advance in the market of prosthetic medical devices addressed to the pediatric area.

Insect dependency of apple crop for pollination vary in different cultivars. The cv. ‘Delicious Pilafa Tripoleos’, is a Protected Designation of Origin apple of Greece, which lacks information on self-compatibility and needs for insect pollination for commercial fruit production. Here, the effect of wind, free (wind and insects), honeybee, free with at least one visit from a bumblebee and hand pollination was examined on fruit set and fruit characteristics. Also, the effect of flowering patches as a practice to attract pollinators in the apple orchards, on fruit quality characteristics was studied. A pollinizer apple variety and insect pollinators are necessary for successful pollination of ‘Delicious Pilafa Tripoleos’ since hand pollination with pollen of the same cv., and wind pollination resulted in very low fruit set. Single flower visits by honeybees could give fruit set, however, free pollination with at least one visit of B. terrestris resulted in higher fruit set compared to the other pollination treatments. Free pollination resulted in more fruits with higher number of seeds than wind pollination (only one fruit obtained). Apples produced from flowers adjacent to the flowering mixture patches had significantly higher skin firmness and lower total soluble solids at harvest (both desirable traits for ‘Delicious Pilafa Tripoleos’), compared to fruits from trees in naturally occurring groundcover.

Despite the worldwide importance of disease complexes involving root-feeding nematodes and soilborne fungi, there have been few in-depth studies on how these organisms interact at the molecular level. Previous studies of guava decline have shown that root exudates from Meloidogyne enterolobii-parasitized guava plants (NP plants), but not from nematode-free plants (NF plants), enable the fungus Neocosmospora falciformis to rot guava roots, leading to plant death. To further characterize this interaction, NP and NF root exudates were lyophilized; extracted with distinct solvents; quantified regarding amino acids, soluble carbohydrates, sucrose, phenols, and alkaloids; and submitted to a bioassay to determine their ability to enable N. falciformis to rot the guava seedlings’ roots. NP root exudates were richer than NF root exudates in amino acids, carbohydrates, and sucrose. Only the fractions NP-03 and NP-04 enabled fungal root rotting. NP-03 was then sequentially fractionated through chromatographic silica columns. At each step, the main fractions were reassessed in bioassay. The final fraction that enabled fungal root rotting was submitted to analysis using high performance liquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence, and computational calculations, leading to the identification of 1,5-dinitrobiuret as the predominant substance. In conclusion, parasitism by M. enterolobii causes an enrichment of guava root exudates that likely favors microorganisms capable of producing 1,5-dinitrobiuret in the rhizosphere. The accumulation of biuret, a known phytotoxic substance, possibly hampers root physiology and the innate immunity of guava to N. falciformis.

Pastry cream contains wheat flour, which is not suitable for celiac patients who require a gluten-free diet. Potatoes are known as a good source of starch, minerals and vitamins. They also contain protein, dietary fibre and various phytochemicals. Their addition to pastry cream can both serve as a texturising agent and enrich the nutritional value of the final product. This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of potatoes as a replacement for wheat flour in pastry cream. For study purposes, the physicochemical attributes of eleven potato varieties were evaluated. Among other varieties, the boiled potato variety Gala exhibited higher fibre, fat, phosphorus and potassium content; however, significantly higher protein (12.48 ± 0.08 g 100 g−1 DW) and iron (3.12 ± 0.02 g 100 g−1 DW) content. Higher antiradical activity (18.72 ± 0.74 mM TE 100−1 g DW) was detected in potatoes of the variety Blue Congo. After preliminary investigation, wheat flour was replaced with mashed potatoes, making up 30% of the cream weight, and its impact on the pastry cream was studied. It was established that potatoes had a significant effect on pastry cream colour and texture. American Rose, Imanta, Rigonda and Viviana were selected as the most suitable from the eleven varieties tested. The addition of potatoes in pastry cream doubled its fibre and potassium content, whereas, other changes in nutritional value of the creams were variety dependent.
A Different View on the Country’s Sustainable Development Indicators – Latvia’s Example
Authors: Trusina Inese , Jermolajeva Elita
Published: January 2024

The contemporary scientific and technical community claims that the new development paradigm will be based on the priority of the universal laws of nature, the principles of ecological economics and the widespread use of digital transformation. The analysis of the sustainable development strategy Latvia 2030 and the presented changes in the value of indicators showed that, it is quite difficult to put together a common unified picture of Latvia’s movement towards sustainable development. The main goal of the article is to present a new approach to the assessment of sustainable development and to monitoring system, using a system’s power changes analysis method. In the context of a Latvian sustainable development strategy, the authors presented the results of the formalisation of new approach to the sustainable development monitoring, using an invariant coordinate system in units of power (energy flow) in compare with calculated data in monetary terms. Calculations and the initial interpretation of the results of Latvia as well as of the five EU countries from the Baltic Sea region – Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania – were carried out for the period 1990.-2019. The presented indicators of sustainable development show that achieving the strategic goals of Latvia 2030 would be very difficult without any serious internal and external incentives. The results can provide a basis for creation of the development strategy both the country as a whole and each region separately.

Gender Economics focuses at the reasons why there are differences between men and women in economic variables such as education, wages, income, hours of work, rates of poverty, leisure, and other variables commonly used by economists to measure welfare. The economic analysis is a useful approach to address these issues, offering both a theoretical framework for the study and statistical tools to support the evaluation of policies in favor of gender equality or other actions that may affect specifically to each group. Moreover, nowadays we have multiple data sources that allow us to have comparable information between countries on gender inequalities in many variables (see for example the OECD Gender Data Portal).
The Gender Pay Gap in Italy: Some Evidence on the Role of Decentralized Collective Bargaining
Authors: Gnesi Chiara , De Santis Stefano , Cardinaleschi Stefania
Published: January 2024

This paper aims to contribute to the existing literature on Gender Pay Gap (GPG), by using data collected by ISTAT with the Structural Earnings Survey (SES) for 2002, 2006 and 2010. The analysis focuses on the source of this wage gap in 2010, pointing out the role of bonuses related to performance in shaping gender gap in earnings. The analysis is carried out in three steps. After having assessed the existence of GPG in the Italian labour market with a descriptive analysis, the contribution of individual characteristics and institutional features (including decentralized collective bargaining at enterprise level) are pointed out over time. The analysis proceeds by isolating the subset of employees receiving performance pay (PP) in order to assess the role of PP in the gender gap in earnings. The analysis ends by pointing out the contribution of individual, job and firm characteristics to the probability of receiving PP. Can decentralized collective bargaining be considered as an element to promote an equal distribution of wages? Is PP the component of wage that gives the highest return on human capital?
El Impuesto Negativo sobre la Renta: Una propuesta de transición
Authors: Granell Pérez Rafael , Fuenmayor Fernández Amadeo
Published: January 2024

En este trabajo planteamos una alternativa al sistema actual de protección social: una renta básica instrumentada a través de un impuesto negativo sobre la renta (INR). Un INR permitiría aunar en un único instrumento el sistema de prestaciones públicas y parte del sistema impositivo. En la primera parte se expone el origen del INR y se estudian sus características básicas. Partiendo de estas características, se analizan cuáles son las alternativas existentes para diseñar un INR. Por último, simulamos con la Encuesta de Condiciones de Vida una propuesta de INR para España. Es un punto de partida para propuestas más ambiciosas, ya que se basaría en la estructura del IRPF actual. El INR sería similar al IRPF, pero contendría una prestación negativa para aquellos situados por debajo del mínimo exento. Los resultados de nuestras simulaciones indican un coste muy elevado para el erario público, pero unos resultados espectaculares en la reducción de la desigualdad y de la pobreza, especialmente de la pobreza severa.
