Published: September 2023

In recent times, the dairy industry in Nepal has been recognized as a burgeoning agro-industry, successfully meeting the domestic demand for fluid milk. Nevertheless, further efforts are necessary to achieve self-sufficiency in dairy products. To enhance milk production, alongside breed improvement and health management initiatives, nutritional interventions have been identified as crucial. In this context, a study was conducted in Rampur, Chitwan, focusing on the supplementation of diverse strains of bacterial probiotics in lactating crossbred cattle to evaluate their effects on microbial protein synthesis, animal health assessed through blood indices, and changes in rumen fauna. The findings of the study revealed that the inclusion of bacterial probiotics resulted in notable improvements in the overall excretion of purine derivatives. Specifically, the individual excretion of allantoin, xanthine, and hypoxanthine significantly increased (p<0.01) in the group supplemented with Lactobacillus acidophilus, while uric acid levels remained unchanged. Consequently, microbial nitrogen supply and absorption also showed a significant increase within the same group. However, blood hematological and biochemical parameters remained unaffected across all treatment groups. Moreover, the supplementation did not induce any notable changes in the individual or overall population of rumen ciliate protozoa. The study underscores that the use of L. acidophilus can enhance the overall protein economy of the rumen, thus potentially reducing production costs by substituting expensive sources of dietary protein for lactating crossbred dairy cows.

Heavy metals contamination of water is one of the most severe environmental and public health issues. The present study was conducted to assess the levels of lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in surface water of the Pasur River estuary in Bangladesh along with their health risk through the ingestion and dermal exposure. The decreasing order of studied metals was Cr > Pb >Cu > Zn > As > Cd with the mean value of 0.050 > 0.024 > 0.021 > 0.014 > 0.012 > 0.006 mg/L respectively. Pb, Cr, Cd and Zn concentration in water samples exceeded the safe limits of drinking water and thereby not safe for drinking. The multivariate analysis identified the common anthropogenic source and existence of studied metals. Heavy metal pollution index (HPI) and heavy metal evaluation index (HEI) indicated significant contamination of water. The HQ and HI through ingestion and dermal contact were <1 except for the adult, whereas HQ (only for As) and HI value through ingestion was >1 indicating an unacceptable risk of non-carcinogenic effects on public health. Carcinogenic risk through ingestion (CRing) indicated that consumption of water from Pasur River estuary may develop cancer risk of Cd. Therefore, strict rules and regulations must be adopted to reduce water contamination of this tidal river from anthropogenic sources for improving the health of this riverine ecosystem.

Published: September 2023

An experiment was carried out for a period of 120 days to evaluate three formulated diets among of which T1  was formulated based on animal protein, T2  was partially replaced animal protein with plant protein and adding amino acid whereas the T3  was formulated with fully plant protein with adding amino acid to assess the growth performance of Thai Pangus, Pangasionodon hypophthalmus. Each treatment had three replicates using 9 (nine) mini experimental ponds. The stocking density was 120 fish/decimal. Initially, the fish were fed twice daily at a rate of 5% of their body weight, which was progressively reduced to 2% by the end of the experiment. During the experimental period, the water quality parameters observed (temperature 26.0°C-31.5°C, pH 7.50-8.44, DO 4.30-5.94 mgL-1, ammonia-nitrogen 0.01 to 0.03 mgL-1, and total alkalinity 155-185 mgL-1) were found to be optimal and stable. The mean weight gains (WG) of Thai Pangus were 421.6±4.71 g, 407.34±1.97 g and 345.89±4.44 g for T1, T2 and T3, respectively and significantly (p<0.05) highest WG was obtained in T1 and T2 followed by T3. The specific growth rate (SGR) was found highest in T2 (2.70±0.03) followed by T1 (2.53±0.06) and T3 (2.16±0.04), respectively. The highest feed conversion ratio (FCR) was found in T1 (1.62) whereas lowest FCR obtained from T2 (1.52±0.01) followed by T3 (1.55). The protein efficiency ratio (PER) values were ranged between 2.03 and 2.13 and highest was found in T2 (2.13±0.05). The highest production was attained from T1 (13557.50±51.60 kg ha-1) followed by T2 (13227.71±50.72 kg ha-1) and T3 (11450.60±49.87 kg ha-1), respectively. The findings of this study revealed that, the partial replacement of animal protein with plant protein adding limited amino acid (lysine and methionine) exhibited the best performance on the basis of nutritive value and growth performance.

Published: September 2023

The farming of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) has conquered the significant popularity in tropical and subtropical regions, primarily due to its remarkable faster growth rate. The growth performance of the species makes it an attractive choice for many fish farmers. Additionally, Tilapia exhibits a commendable resilience to disease, further enhancing its appeal as a farming option. Furthermore, the low trophic feeding levels of Tilapia contribute to its desirability, making it an efficient and sustainable choice for nutrition-conscious individuals. Due to the increasing prevalence of aquaculture production, there has been a significant surge in the demand for fishmeal. This particular protein source has relished the widespread popularity for many years and its demand has now more than doubled. The current growth rate of the aquaculture industry is outpacing the available fishmeal supplies, which are insufficient to meet the demand. According to scientific studies, it has been found that fishmeal can be effectively replaced with alternative sources without compromising the overall performance of the fish. This article presents a compelling case for the practicality of replacing fishmeal with alternative protein sources in the diet of Tilapia. These alternatives include terrestrial animal by-products, oilseed plants, single-cell proteins, and protein-rich plant derivatives. In order to mitigate the environmental impact of the fishmeal industry, it is crucial to implement measures that can effectively address this concern. Moreover, it is crucial to highlight the significance of these sources from a nutritional perspective. The blood meal, meat and bone meal are highly beneficial options for incorporating essential amino acids and protein into the diet of Tilapia. These alternatives offer a rich source of nutrients that can effectively replace fishmeal. The minerals instead of amino acids could improve plant protein performance. Due to inconsistent findings, aquatic plants and single-cell proteins in Tilapia meals should be carefully considered. Fishmeal replacers need biological and economic analyses. Long-term evaluations should be done in practical culture systems rather than labs. In conclusion, it is imperative for Tilapia producers to contemplate the utilization of alternative dietary sources, as extensive research has demonstrated the scientific feasibility of substituting the fishmeal in the diet of Tilapia.

Authors:   Koreanisch-Deutsche Gesellschaft Fuer Erziehungswissenschaft, Lee Hyun Ju , Ju Hyun Jung , Yun Min Ju
Published: September 2023

Recently, as autonomy and cooperative relationships are emphasized as major values of the future education, the value of learning community activities is drawing attention. The purpose of this study is to explore the social flow experiences and changes that graduate students who participate in learning community activities experience during the learning process. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted based on qualitative case studies with five graduate students who participated in the learning community for a total of 24 months from 2021 to 2022. For data analysis, Giorgi's content analysis method was used, and what kind of social flow the learner experiences and changes in the course of learning community activities was interpreted based on the flow theory. The main research findings are as follows. First, it was found that graduate students who participated in the learning community recognized their own purpose in the learning process and experienced positive social flow through feedback, dialogue, and cooperation among members. Second, graduate students experienced repeated failures while conducting various learning activities and joint research, and experienced negative emotions due to fatigue from graduate school life. In addition, they were experiencing a lack of social flow due to compulsory participation in activities, the burden of authority such as professors and seniors, and a lack of understanding of other majors. Third, social flow competency grew through learning together, and in the process of mutual learning, research topics were expanded and research capabilities improved, experiencing positive changes in shared growth. Through these research results, in order to build an flow environment within the learning community, it was suggested that additional support for graduate student learning and education environments based on positive emotional experiences for self-prosperity and pleasure to learn and practice independently is needed.

Authors: Aguilera-Ortega Julio Eduardo , Madrid-López Walter Alexis
Published: September 2023

La mayoría de los casos de aberraciones pigmentarias para la familia Tyrannidae se han descritos en Norteamérica, con escaso registros para Sudamérica y ningún registro formal para Centroamérica. Registramos por primera vez para El Salvador y Centroamérica un caso de leucismo parcial en el papamoscas negro (Sayornis nigricans). El día 8 de enero de 2022, por las 11:00 h, observamos a un ejemplar adulto de S. nigricans perchado en una piedra sobre la corriente del río Shutia, en el cantón Las Flores a 718 m s.n.m., en el municipio de Tepecoyo, La Libertad. Notamos que este individuo tenía una coloración anormal entre la región loreal y subocular, presentando manchas blancas en forma de lunares. Las manchas blancas presentaban simetría bilateral y se encontraban en la cabeza, alejado de la columna vertebral, por lo que sugerimos que se trata de un leucismo parcial. Consideramos fundamental documentar estas observaciones incidentales de anomalías pigmentarias en las aves silvestres ya que aportan datos importantes sobre las características ecológicas y ambientales que podrían explicar la prevalencia de estas anomalías en la coloración de las aves.

Authors: Tarkhanova Zhanna D.
Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of regional media coverage of the risks and threats of international terrorism in the South Caucasus on the example of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The processes of the emergence of cells, banned international terrorist organizations in the region, their role in the escalation of ethno–political conflicts of the 90s of the XX century and the Second Karabakh (44–day) War of 2020 of the XXI century are noted. The article examines in detail the diversity of the principles and approaches of the media in the coverage of problems related to international terrorism. The peculiarities of the counter-terrorism policy of the South Caucasus states are revealed in the context of their influence on the geopolitical situation in the region, where the topic of terrorism becomes an element of mutual accusations of the conflicting parties. The purpose of the article is to identify unacceptable manipulation of information related to terrorism during ethnopolitical conflicts. Based on the analysis of publications and video reports of regional media, the author comes to the conclusion about the urgency of the problem of the expansion of militants into the territory of Russia and the contradictory information coverage of the problem in the media. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the principles, approaches, and information strategies used by the media of the South Caucasus in covering this problem have been identified. The differentiated activity of the media in the process of covering the threats and risks of international terrorism and its classification is indicated. Trends in the use of the topic of terrorism and terrorist organizations in information propaganda campaigns, including in the framework of information and propaganda projects of an anti-Russian nature, are identified.
Ecolinguistic Approach to Overcoming the Linguistic Inequality in Spain (by the Example of the Language Situation in Russia)
Authors: Tirado R. Guzmán
Published: September 2023

The problem of preserving and protecting the native language today is relevant in a multinational and polyconfessional state in today’s era of globalisation and European economic integration. The purpose of the article is to examine the internal destruction of the linking function of a single official language, to analyze the discriminatory status of the Spanish language in modern Spain, to predict the consequences of such a language policy and to carry out a comparative analysis of the language situation in Spain and Russia. The object of the study is the Spanish language as the official language of the Kingdom of Spain and its role, significance and functions in the regions of the country, reflecting the political processes of recent decades. Comparative, historical and typological approaches are used, as well as the methods of observation, analysis and modeling. The author investigates the causes of the linguistic inequality in Spain and states the negative consequences of the language policy pursued by the government. Practical recommendations have been developed to overcome the current problems in the country’s language policy, based on the example of Russia.
Mother Tongues and Teaching English as a Foreign Language: A Case Study
Authors: Malekani Claude Wakenge
Published: September 2023

This paper examines the role of mother tongues in the teaching of English as a foreign language at the University of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The purpose of the study is to determine the perfect mother tongue of students and to evaluate the efficacy of translanguaging methods in the teaching of English as foreign language. The research used three types of data, including quantitative, qualitative, and test data, as well as a survey conducted among 250 students at the Faculty of Arts. The results of the study suggest that translanguaging methods should be adopted to meet the needs of the country, particularly when English is combined with one of the local languages or French, in order to improve the understanding of students and their academic performance, particularly for those Congolese Learners of English who are not exposed to English often. The main problem in this study is that the learners at the University are learning English as an academic subject and a medium of instruction that they do not understand very well. However, the concept of’mother tongue’ (MT) is very important in learning other languages including a foreign language. This is especially true for students who live in a multilingual environment like DRC who have to follow and understand certain subjects taught in English. Most of them do not have their own unique and same mother tongue. For example, there are situations where a person speaks two basic languages, one is Congolese and the other is a second language. For example, someone who has been extensively exposed to a non-Congolese language like French since birth in addition to their Congolese language.
On the Script Reform in Ossetia: G.V. Baev vs. G.A. Dzagurov
Authors: Tomelleri Vittorio Springfield
Published: September 2023

The introduction in Ossetia of a Roman-based alphabet, which history has been quite short (from 1923 till 1938) but still extremely interesting, sparked extensive and heated debates between the supporters of the old Cyrillic tradition and the advocates of the radical graphic change. While for many languages of the Soviet Union the choice of the Latin script was intended to be a cultural and ideological weapon against the graphic monopoly of the Muslim tradition, the case of Ossetic is quite different and extremely interesting, as the graphic ‘conflict’ was about the replacement of the Russian alphabet and the abandonment of a solid literary tradition, albeit a young one. In this way, the Latinization of Ossetian became an important test case for discussions conducted because of not so much religious or linguistic, but rather identity considerations and cultural issues, as reflected in the choice of the script. The present article provides a “post-event” account of the debate between supporters and opponents of the new alphabet, given by the cultural activist Grigoriy A. Dzagurov in a short pamphlet, published in 1923. On the other side, across the Soviet border, we find a memorandum by the emigrant Georgiy Vasilievich Baev in which he expresses his critical opinion about the change of alphabet in North Ossetia and sets out the cultural-historical and practical reasons for his preference for the Cyrillic script. The examination of the two opposing positions clearly shows once again, should there be any need, the purely ideological and cultural nature of the discussion.
Review of the Monograph “Linguistic Transformation of Reality” by V.I. Karasik
Authors: Vorkachev Sergey G.
Published: September 2023

The monograph discusses the issues of lingua-semiotics, linguaculturology, axiological linguistics and discourse studies. The characteristics of linguistic and cultural concepts, dramatic plots and types of discourse on the material of the Russian, English and German languages are considered. The monograph consists of three sections: “Conceptual Functionality of Language”, “Narrative Functionality of Language” and “Discourse Functionality of Language”. The basic parametric concepts of space and time (infinity and eternity), regulatory concepts of behavior (power, perseverance and stubbornness, style and reputation), the concept of the mastered world (house, garden, merry-go-round) and natural phenomena (fire and ice) are described. As illustrative material, the plots “journey into the past”, “flight into space”, “eternal youth”, “meeting or joint adventures of twins” are considered. When describing the discourse potential of language, the modes of self-expression in communication, the illogical varieties of world perception in different types of discourse (participation), the peculiarities of mystification, discourse accuracy and inaccuracy, the unification of different types of discourse in a speech act (discourse convergence) are shown. It is meant for philologists and a wide range of researchers developing the foundations of the integral science of man.

Günümüzün en önemli sorunlarından biri çevre kirliliğidir. Bu kirliliğe kentleşme, nüfus artışı, teknolojik gelişme, sanayileşmeye bağlı enerji ihtiyacına bağlı olarak fosil yakıt kullanımına neden olmaktadır. Kirliliği en aza indirmek için küresel birçok yöntem benimsenmiştir. Bu yöntemler sektörlerin finansal ihtiyacını beraberinde getirmektedir. Çevre temizlik vergisi Türk vergi sisteminin ilk ve tek yürürlükteki vergisidir. Ancak doğrudan alınan çevre vergisi bulunmamaktadır. Poşet ücreti, motorlu taşıt, özel tüketim, enerji tüketim vergisi gibi vergiler muafiyet, istisna açısından çevreye katkısını diğer çevre vergisi türleri olarak kabul edilmektedir. Sektörler bu vergileri ödemek ve çevreye verdiği zararı en aza indirmek için belli oranda finansal harcama yapmaktadırlar. Çevre kirliliğini aza indirmek için sektörlerin uluslararası benimsenmiş yöntemleri kullanmaları, bu alanda ayırdıkları finansal payı yükseltmeleri gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda Türkiye’deki sektörlerin finansal harcama, sera gazı emisyonları, çevre vergileri arasındaki ilişkinin ölçülmesi amaçlanmış, 2006-2017 yılları arasındaki yıllık veriler kullanılarak ARDL sınır testi uygulanmıştır. Sonuç olarak değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli ilişki tespit edilmiştir.

IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE KILLING ARTISTIC SKILLS IN DESIGNERS?
Authors: Alegaonkar Akash Anant , Avachat-Shirke Mukta Aditya
Published: September 2023

Historical evidences show that new technology has cast its influence on the design world through time. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new emerging technology which is being explored by many industries including the design industry. Nowadays AI is used for creativity on a larger scale. It is used for aesthetic applications, design trends, game design and other visual media. Development of AI generative tools is considered as most impactful in the field of design. It is inevitable that upcoming technologies will be noticed and used by all types of consumers and therefore anyone can create designs. Thus, trepidation of killing artistic skills in the field of design has become one of the major concerns for the designers. To stay competitive and ready for the global market designers have to use AI and hence ‘Collaboration’ between technology and artistic skills is indispensible for truly original, qualitative, empathetic and passion driven designs. Since this paper is from designers’ point of view it is focused on the consequences of using AI on artistic skills and design industry. It examines the quantitative and qualitative survey with data collection from designers, design educators and design students who know about the use of AI in design and art. The responders from the design fraternity opined that as long as AI does not develop empathy and innovative creativity, design jobs are safe. Symbiosis of humans and their emotional connection with each other will only create captivated designs.

Ritual Humanity at the Intersections of Art and Technology Accounts of the Past and the Future
Authors: Thompson Reynaldo , Mukhopadhyay Tirtha
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we shall refer to approaching digital art with a sense of critical reflection now that AI gains momentum and comes to its point of an almost overwhelming no-return. The Technosphere, which is already confronted by discriminatory access because of distinctive ecologies of industrial production and consumption, is defined by this always one-sided inclination and the anxieties thereof. The lack of access or deprivation of technological instruments may create absolute separation of cultural blocks and differences in people’s self-esteem within a connected world. Ritualized emotive behaviors lie at the root of allegiances and culturally sensitive performances. This passionate reflex towards the living continuum of history has been fed into AI channels – that is how the glory of digital practices are defined in underprivileged economies. A good example is the basic sensor actuated installations of Fernando Palma. Once again, we refer to a specific pro[1]ject from Mexico, and bear in mind projects on Indigenous electroacoustics.

Published: September 2023

Astronomy is one of the oldest, but also most modern sciences of humankind. Although Hungarian astronomers have been displaying a high level of competence in this branch of science for centuries, neither a general onomastic survey nor an official astronomical orthographic dictionary has been published in Hungarian. This paper intends to enumerate the most characteristic name types given to important celestial bodies (planets and their satellites, planetoids, stars and their constellations, comets, etc.) on the basis of popular astronomical works. The most important orthographic features of these names are also treated. The author’s aim in the long run is to present a basis for a possible future overview of astronomical terminology by establishing related onomastic as well as orthographic principles. This paper presents the results of the author’s pilot study.
Azonosságok és különbözőségek a magyar népmese és az irodalmi mese névadási szokásaiban
Authors: G. Papp Katalin
Published: September 2023

This paper presents how patterns of name giving practices adapted in literary tales are dependent upon those used in folk tales. Naming practices of folk tales – especially those of the genre “fairy tales” – in their typical functions are partly bequeathed to contemporary literary tales. The more folk tale motives the story-writer uses, the more naming practices (s)he adapts from folk tales. Differences in name giving practices of literary tales can be traced to the increase and special features of base words, in the personalities of the characters referred to by their names, in the authors’ unique styles as well as in the differentiation of the readers.
Magyar neve?
Authors: Szabómihály Gizella
Published: September 2023

There are many settlements inhabited by Hungarians that were annexed after the First World War to Czechoslovakia, later to Slovakia. The names of these settlements were changed many times in the previous years. Their last standardization took place in 1994, when the Hungarian names of circa 500 settlements were established (next to the official Slovakian names). Out of these names approximately 100 are different from the relevant name forms established by the last Hungarian standardization (1913). As a result, in Hungarian texts published in Slovakia the name of a settlement may occur in two (sometimes three) different forms. The situation is somewhat similar in all countries bordering Hungary where there are Hungarian-inhabited areas that once belonged to the Hungarian Kingdom. Therefore, there is a need for general standardization of Hungarian settlement names including all parties concerned, the prerequisite of which is to clarify the principles to be adopted.
A török hódoltság nyomai Törökkoppány földrajzi neveiben
Authors: Szabó József
Published: September 2023

This paper presents the Turkish-related geographical names of Törökkoppány. Törökkoppány is a village in the Northeastern part of Somogy county, which used to be a centre of a sanjak under the Turkish rule. With its border fortress strengthened by the Turks the village played an important strategic role. Many still existing geographical names of the settlement (cf. Törökkoppány data in the volume “Somogy megye földrajzi nevei” [Geographical Names of Somogy County]) were born in this era. Some of these names evoke a tradition or a legend in connection with the Turkish rule. The number of place names of Osmanli origin, compared to the quantity of Turkish-related geographical names in other territories once occupied, is relatively large, which also proves the contemporary importance of Törökkoppány.
Ruszinokra utaló tulajdonnevek a 16. századi Bereg megyéből
Authors: Mizser Lajos
Published: September 2023

The 1570 year’s register lists names from the estate (dominium) of Szentmiklós in the former Bereg county. Ruthenian villages were formerly led by judges (judex). Those in the 16th century, however, were governed by the leaders of the settlers. The paper examines place-names as well as personal names. The stock of surnames is linguistically varied. Though dominated by Ruthenian elements, it also includes names of Hungarian and Slovakian origins, with much rarer examples of Croatian, Polish, German, Rumanian and Ukrainian names. The author focuses on the motives behind the name giving processes, even if the real motivations can only roughly be identified after 400 years. Christian names of the period are also varied.
Személynevek a szakfordításban
Authors: Horváth Péter Iván
Published: September 2023

This paper sets out to demonstrate that despite their seemingly slight relevance to technical translation, personal names have a major influence on the end product of the translation process. Personal names are not normally translated but transliterated or slightly modified to fit the target language as much as possible. Technical translators do not need to draw a boundary between proper names and common names, identify an individual known by various names or a single name borne by several people, nor decide whether a name belongs to a real or fictitious person. By contrast, they often have to ascertain: the base form of personal names in inflectional and agglutinative languages; their pronunciation for correct declension subject to vowel harmony, if any; the order of given names and surnames for inversion as necessary; the first and last item of multi-element names; the namebearer’s nationality for correct spelling, and their sex for gender agreement, including pronouns and verbal suffixes. The paper ends with the proposal that the behaviour of personal names in technical translation should be the subject of corpus-based research.
Csernakeresztúr, Sándoregyháza és Székelykeve magyarjainak helynevei
Authors: Pál Helén
Published: September 2023

This paper discusses the place names of three settlements into which Bukovina Székelys moved at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. These three settlements, Csernakeresztúr (Cristur), Sándoregyháza (Ivanovo) and Székelykeve (Skorenovac) are today outside the boundaries of Hungary: Csernakeresztúr is in Romania, while Sándoregyháza and Székelykeve are in Serbia. The place names in the three settlements have been affected by the official languages of the states in which they are located. A certain percentage of the place names is used only or partially in the official language: the settlement names and the street names are used in two languages, i.e. in Hungarian and in the official language (in Csernakeresztúr and in Székelykeve), or used mainly in the official language (in Sándoregyháza). Name-giving practices observed in the Székely settlements of Bukovina are present in the three surveyed settlements as well: e.g. dividing the villages into lower and upper parts, naming fields after their proprietors or naming streets based on size.
A háromkirályok kultuszának hatása a középkori és kora újkori névadásra
Authors: Slíz Mariann
Published: September 2023

The author examines the occurrences of the names Gáspár (Caspar), Menyhért (Melchior) and Boldizsár (Balthasar) in the naming practices of the nobility in medieval and early modern times. Comparing the period of the first appearances and first portrayals of the Three Magi as patron saints with the era of the occurrences of the names in pairs or in trios within noble families, the author concludes that the cult of these saints in Hungary was at its height in the 15th century and naming practices followed the trend in cult with some slight delay. Striking conformity is observed when locations of the appearances and portrayals as patron saints are compared to the locations of the manors of the name bearers. These three names are considered to be rare; thus, their appearances mainly in regions of Northern Hungary and Transylvania inhabited by German miners as well as in western counties affected by the flourishing cult of the saints in the nearby Holy Roman Empire clearly reflect the influence of the popularity of the saints on naming practices.

The area of ​​critical land in Indonesia is increasing. Critical land rehabilitation has been carried out by one of the methods used is direct planting. However, direct planting has drawbacks, namely the seeds are very prone to be eaten by insects and birds, and the seeds are easily damaged due to environmental factors. One method that can be tested is the application of seedballs using adaptive plants, such as jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), bisbul (Diospyros blancoi), and merbau (Intsia bijuga). The purpose of this study was to formulate seedballs and their application for the growth of jackfruit (A. heterophyllus), bisbul (D. blancoi), and merbau (I. bijuga) plants. This study used a quantitative descriptive analysis method with 3 types of seedballs’ formulas. The results showed the fastest germination rate was produced by formula 1 (clay) on bisbul, formula 2 (clay: topsoil) on jackfruit, and formula 3 (clay: topsoil: husk charcoal: palm waste) on merbau. The highest seed germination capacities were formulas 1 and 3 for jackfruit species, formulas 2 and 3 for bisbul species, as well as formulas 1 and 2 for merbau species. Formula 3 is generally able to increase the height, diameter, and number of leaves of plants.

East Tanjung Jabung Regency is one of the easternmost districts of Jambi Province and has the largest peatland area in Jambi Province. The research aims to determine the effect of rainfall and its relation to hotspots as an indicator of forest and peatland fires in East Tanjung Jabung Regency, Jambi Province. The data used in this study were sourced from NASA FIRMS for hotspots and NASA POWER for rainfall, which were analyzed descriptively and correlationally. The results of the study show that the number of annual hotspots from 2018 to 2022 is 1696, with 1075 points on peatlands and 621 others on mineral lands. The increase occurred in 2019 by 1636 points due to fire incidents that covered 5,151.02 ha. The results of the correlation analysis show that rainfall with hotspots does not have a significant correlation with a strong negative correlation coefficient, so an increase in hotspots is followed by a decrease in rainfall, and vice versa.

The phenomenon of forest destruction can be found in various regions of the world through deforestation activities and has an impact on environmental sustainability. One of the impacts caused by climate change due to deforestation is at the same time threatening the activities of the agricultural sector, namely the sustainability of food production. Agroforestry is a sustainable agricultural system by cultivating tree components with agricultural plant species. The role of trees in agroforestry is thought to have similarities with the potential for carbon sequestration in forests through carbon storage sources on the ground surface. Agroforestry models based on robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) are found in Indonesia, both with simple agroforestry and complex agroforestry types. This research was conducted in Rowosari Village, Sumberjambe District, Jember Regency on several types of robusta coffee-based agroforestry. Based on the results of the study, simple agroforestry has a potential for carbon storage of 73.89% greater than complex agroforestry. The total potential for carbon storage in simple agroforestry is 166.55 tonnes/ha, while in complex agroforestry it is 58.86 tonnes/ha. The potential for carbon storage in agroforestry is affected by the composition of the tree stands.
