Ecosystem Service Changes and Water Management in the Manas River Basin
Authors: Zhang Huiying , Ahmed Zeeshan , Han Wei , Sun Gang
Published: December 2024

Arid river basins face critical ecological challenges due to climate change and human activities, exacerbating water scarcity and disrupting ecosystem functions. This study assesses the spatial variability and ecosystem service value (ESV) dynamics of lakes and wetlands in the Manas River Basin, an arid region in northern Xinjiang, from 1990 to 2020. Using the InVEST model and structural equation modeling, we analyzed the climatic and anthropogenic factors affecting midstream wetlands and the downstream lake. The results suggest a potential inverse dynamic relationship between lake expansion and wetland shrinkage, particularly in 2003 and 2017, indicating a competitive hydrological interaction, although our linear regression analysis did not capture a strong relationship. Wetland ESV has notably declined, driven by reduced water availability and increased cultivation, whereas lake ESV has remained stable due to water management practices. Precipitation, evapotranspiration, and temperature negatively impact wetland ESV, while human activities and temperature positively affect lake ESV. These findings highlight the need for tailored water management strategies to address the distinct vulnerabilities of lakes and wetlands, emphasizing balanced water distribution and the mitigation of climate and human impacts to preserve the Manas River Basin’s ecological health.

Published: December 2024

The production of titanium dioxide in China generates substantial waste acid and ferrous sulfate, which are repurposed into polyferric sulfate for industrial wastewater treatment. However, this water purification agent contains heavy metals like Ti, V, Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, Ba, and Pb, posing unrecognized environmental risks. This study identified these risks through pollutant screening and the process analysis of a Jiangsu-based titanium dioxide enterprise, evaluating the potential impacts on water quality and worker health. The results show that concentrations of manganese and titanium in the polyferric sulfate reached up to 163 mg/L and 631 mg/L, respectively. Notably, the non-carcinogenic hazard quotients (HQs) for cobalt, vanadium, and manganese were 307, 5.6, and 2.6, all exceeding the safe limit of 1, with cobalt presenting a particularly significant risk due to its low reference dose (RfD) of 0.0003 mg/kg-d. This study concludes that national standards should be revised to include limits for these pollutants to ensure safer practices in industrial wastewater treatment.

Published: December 2024

Recently, the operation of electric charging stations has stopped being solely dependent on the state or centralised energy companies, instead depending on the decentralization of decisions made by the operators of these stations, whose goals are to maximise efficiency in the distribution and supply of energy for electric vehicles. Therefore, the operations of charging stations are exposed to increased complexity, leading to a growing need for decision-making based on more reliable and sustainable models. This research presents a review of key aspects, technologies, protocols, and case studies on the current and future trends of electric charging stations. A taxonomy of the technologies applied to charging stations and their applications in elements such as intelligent energy supply, electric vehicles, sustainability, the Industrial Internet of Things, and energy demand management is developed. Thus, this work synthesizes the essential features found in recent research regarding charging stations, aiming for a systemic approach that can lead toward sustainability in electromobility.

Authors: A Ramadhina Fifi , Narimawati Umi
Published: December 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed a new paradigm of learning in universities, including at the International Women's University. It’s fully realized that it’s not easy to change someone's habits, including the habit of learning methods that have been implemented, namely face-to-face. Almost 2 years of learning for IWU students have changed from face-to-face to elearning. The favorable condition is the phenomenon of age who use the internet more often, dominated by the age of 19-24 years, which is the second largest in Indonesia. Therefore, IWU’s e-learning-based learning is a substitute solution for face-to-face learning.Various problems arise and what is being questioned is the perceived decrease in student motivation as a result of the implementation of learning using e-learning. Lack of monitoring of student attendance in lectures, lack of control over the achievements of each student, as well as the presence of some students who want face-to-face learning to be implemented immediately. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of learning using e-learning on satisfaction and its implications for learning motivation in International Women University students. The descriptive method with a quantitative approach is used in this study with a total sample of 356 respondents from a total of 3234 students using the Slovin formula. Analysis using the SPSS 20 for windows software program was used in this study. Questionnaires were collected through the distribution of google forms. The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of learning using IWU's elearning is an effective solution to create student satisfaction and has implications for student motivation at International Women's University

Published: December 2024

Digitalization is currently not a concept the world seeks to apply; rather, it is a fact this world lives in. The transformation for the green world has strongly introduced the principle of eliminating hard copy resources while maintaining their digital versions. The immense amount of information that resides in electronic documents opened a wide road for research a long time ago. On the other hand, information extraction, text mining, and Natural Language Processing (NLP) are three concatenated fields that have gained their unique place in the digital world through time. This research aims to introduce a novel method for Arabic document classification. The research provides multi-tagging to the document according to a set of criteria, one of these tags is the hierarchical classification for the document that could play an efficient role in its related field. For example, documents in healthcare systems beehive could lead to exploring a new symptom of a disease, as it is known that symptoms could continuously mutate over time. The proposed method succeeds through the generated schema to relate between old and new symptoms, which makes it no surprise when evolving and gives a chance for pre-preparation and success to containment. The technical challenges of this study include the ability to successfully apply text mining techniques and machine learning. Additionally, the higher level of challenges that arise in this study is the fact that the processing is applied to Arabic text documents. Arabic has been known to be a complex language as it has its unique nature. The proposed method has been applied, compared with known methods, and its effectiveness has been confirmed by applying a classification task with an Accuracy equal to 99.5%

It's commonly acknowledged that antioxidants may
play a key role in treating male infertility and that
oxidative stress is a major factor inthe
pathophysiologyof male infertility. This study's
primarygoals are to, 1) thoroughly examine the
available data about the effectiveness of
antioxidants in treating male infertility, and 2)
provide evidence-based clinical recommendations
for the application of antioxidants in treating male
infertility. A manual screening of papers accessible
on Scopus was conducted as part of a systematic
review of the clinical evidence that was available.
The type of antioxidant employed, the clinical
conditions being studied, the assessment of semen
parameters, and the results of reproduction were
among the data that were extracted. For every
included study, the compliance with the JADAD

Authors: ABO-HABAGA Mohamed , ISMAIL Zakaria , MOUSTAFA Nariman , OKASHA Mahmoud
Published: December 2024

This research aims to develop an automatic precision seeding unit (APSU) for planting seeds in pots inside greenhouses. The study evaluated three seed suction nozzle diameters (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 mm) and four types of seeds (Armenian cucumber, pepper, turnip, and okra). The key performance indicators involved the number of seeds captured per stroke, total time for seeding one pot, and deviation relative to the pots’ centers. The results showed that a nozzle diameter of 1.0 mm was the most effective for okra and Armenian cucumber seeds, resulting in average yields of 1.0 and 1.46 seed(s) per pot, respectively. The 0.5 mm nozzle showed optimal performance for pepper and turnip seeds, achieving 1.33 and 1.46 seeds per pot, respectively. The average time for seeding one pot, including all three stages, is approximately 35 seconds. These findings endorse the improvement of productivity and accuracy in automated greenhouse seeding, furthering precision agriculture as a state-of-the-art technological strategy.

Published: December 2024

We have successfully demonstrated InGaN/GaN edge-emitting laser diodes (EELDs) on a fully coalesced epitaxial lateral overgrown film from a c-plane GaN substrate. We achieve a high aspect ratio, and low defect density wing region covering 75%–88% of the substrates’ surface, which is amongst the largest reported areas in the literature. The devices at the wing region exhibit a threshold current density of 3.63 kA cm−2 at 408 nm, and an improved laser performance compared to the high defect density region is confirmed. Based on this work, it is promising that high performance, cost-efficient c-plane InGaN/GaN EELDs can be realized.

Authors: Y Triningtyas Anastasia , Afrila Syafarina
Published: December 2024

Physical activity is essential for the health and professional development of medical students. Previous studies have indicated that the level of physical activity among medical students is generally low, with up to 60% being inactive. Technological advancements and the predominantly sedentary nature of medical education contribute to these low daily activity levels, leading to a tendency toward an inactive lifestyle. On the other hand, medical students, as future healthcare providers, play a crucial role in encouraging their patients to adopt healthy physical activity habits. This study aims to evaluate the physical activity levels of students at the Faculty of Medicine at Universitas Jenderal Achmad Yani (UNJANI). Using observational design, this cross-sectional study involved a total of 60 respondents from the Medical Education Program who met the research criteria and were selected through consecutive sampling. Data regarding age, gender, and physical activity were collected using a questionnaire. Physical activity was measured using the standardized long-form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The results show that the majority of students had a moderate level of physical activity (45%), followed by low (28.3%) and high levels (26.7%). The proportion of female respondents with low physical activity levels was significantly higher (36.8%) compared to males (13.6%). Among female participants, physical activity levels were predominantly categorized as low and moderate, whereas male participants displayed a higher distribution of moderate and high activity levels. These results highlight the necessity for targeted interventions to promote physical activity, particularly in encouraging a healthier lifestyle among medical students at UNJANI.

Published: December 2024

This study evaluates the efficacy of cardioneuroablation (CNA) for vagally mediated bradyarrhythmia (VMB) through two case reports, a systematic review and a meta-analysis. Two patients with VMB were treated with CNA targeting ganglionated plexi using a radiofrequency ablation catheter. Both patients showed sustained clinical improvement post-CNA, with no recurrence of syncope or pre-syncope during follow-up periods of 26 and 16 months. We performed a meta-analysis, according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines to review 19 studies involving 618 patients, excluding animal studies, case reports, and studies limited to immediate responses. The analysis revealed that 94.3% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 90.9 – 97.7%) of patients were symptom-free during follow-up, while only 4.5% (95% CI: 2.6 – 6.4%) required pacemaker implantation. Procedure-related complications were reported in 4.7% (95% CI: 2.3 – 7.1%) of overall cases. These findings suggest that CNA is an effective and safe treatment option for VMB, reducing symptom recurrence and the need for pacemaker implantation. Further randomized controlled trials are warranted to validate its long-term efficacy.

Authors: Machado Jackelany de Souza França Durães , Januario Gilberto
Published: December 2024

O artigo se orienta pelo objetivo de discutir como professores de Química leem, interpretam e avaliam materiais curriculares integradores da área de Ciências da Natureza. O referencial teórico reporta-se a integração curricular e ao conhecimento profissional docente. Trata-se de um estudo de caso em que os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevistas concedidas por duas professoras, realizadas em conjunto. A análise se deu a partir de duas categorias, das quais os principais resultados indicam que as professoras leem a integração curricular como interdisciplinaridade e a interpretam como flexibilidade. A ausência de clareza e explicitação de justificativas dos procedimentos químicos e matemáticos nos textos de orientação e na apresentação das respostas esperadas, nas informações referentes à variação no grau de complexidade das atividades e na organização dos conteúdos, implica o comprometimento das aprendizagens das professoras em relação aos procedimentos que justificam as estratégias nas resoluções das atividades, o que pode reverberar os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem em uma proposta com projetos integradores.
Criminal Responsibility of Notary as a Consequence of Producing an Authentic Deed Judging from the Notarial Official Authority Within the Law on Notary Profession
Authors: Agustining Agustining
Published: December 2024

A notary is a public official who works based on the authority according to the Notary Law (UUJN). The authority of a notary is regulated, among other things, in Article 15 (1) of the UUJN. A notary has the authoritymake authentic deeds regarding all acts, agreements, and determinations required by laws and regulations. The problem is that notaries as public officials generally work in the realm of civil legal acts. However, in carrying out duties mandated by law and of a civil nature, in public office notaries can be held criminally responsible in criminal courts, either as witnesses or even as suspects and convicts due to the deeds they make. The conflicting situation of das sollen versus das sein requires a ratio legis. For this reason, this research was conducted using a legal research method, with complementary support in the form of empirical data, the results of observations on data from 111 notaries in North Sumatra who were involved in casescriminal in that area. The study found that the presence of a notary in providing criminal responsibility is possible, with the approval of the Regional Notary Honorary Council (MKNW), as happened in 2023. Approval from the MKNW is given after being requested by Law Enforcement Officers (APH). The authority to provide approval from the MKNW is in order to carry out the mandate of Article 66 (1) of Law No. 2 of 2014 in conjunction with the Minister of Law and Human Rights RegulationNo. 17 of 2021; among others, to carry out notary guidance through granting or refusing approval requested by APH to allow notaries to be held criminally responsible in the investigation, prosecution and trial process. However, the authority to grant MKNW permits still seems less able to reduce the number of indications of notary involvement in a criminal act related to a deed made by a notary.

A Comparative Study of Braking Concept in Lithuanian and German Economic Discourse
Authors:   Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija, Jurgaitis Nedas
Published: December 2024

This article deals with braking metaphors in Lithuanian and German economic discourse. The aim of the study is to show and compare the metaphorical framing of the term BRAKING in Lithuanian and German economic discourse, taking into account linguistic and contextual differences. The analysis of media texts shows a contradictory picture in which the BRAKING concept frequently appears. Braking metaphors originating from various source domains are used to communicate economic recessions. The subject of this study is metaphorical expressions that make up the linguistic expression of the BRAKING concept in German and Lithuanian media. The study aims to compare conceptual metaphors in Lithuanian and German public discourse so that the conceptualisation of the phenomenon discussed in both linguistic communities can be partially revealed. It can be assumed that part of the linguistic expression are deliberate metaphors, i.e. opinion makers. Therefore, metaphors are considered not only in the classical metaphor model but also in the three-dimensional metaphor model. A comparative analysis of economic discourse was carried out, ranging from short economic news items to stock market reports, interviews with politicians, economists and government leaders to comprehensive economic analyses. The results of the comparative study shed light on how the BRAKING concept is perceived in both discourses. The conclusions show that the BRAKING concept is related to the global concept of economics, which is structured by discourse metaphors – relatively stable metaphorical mappings that function as a central framing device within a particular discourse over a period of time. Metaphorical expressions framing the BRAKING concept in both Lithuanian and German help to understand a wide range of economic phenomena, followed by a polarisation of economic discourse in both languages.
Metalingvistiskie komentāri par latviešu valodu sociālajos medijos
Authors:   Rīgas Tehniskās universitātes Liepājas akadēmija, Lauze Linda
Published: December 2024

From a sociolinguistic point of view, it is important that posts and comments in Latvian are published on social media, which shows the language’s viability in the digital environment. The users of social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, are mostly not indifferent to language issues, so the metalinguistic comments reflect the writers’ linguistic attitude towards the Latvian language and its use.
The aim of the study is to analyse metalingual commentaries about the Latvian language on social media by the addressee. The addressee to whom the content of the metalingual commentaries refers is recognised as primary. In this view, it is possible to distinguish the addressee in the first, second and third person. The empirical material is the original posts and comments of users published on social media Facebook and Twitter, which describe some aspects of the Latvian language used by themselves or others. It consists of approximately 400 items.
The article explains the concept of metalingual commentary and provides an overview of research to date. Metalingual commentaries on social media are addressed to a third person, i.e. to others in a generalised or specific sense, to the second person as a communication partner, who can be a language specialist or any other Facebook or Twitter user, and conditionally – to the first person in cases where the author of the post reveals his/her own language user experience. This study found negative and positive, rarely indifferent linguistic attitudes towards the Latvian language and the quality of its use on social media.

Because of its special qualities and uses in optoelectronic devices, zinc oxide nanoparticles have drawn the attention of researchers in recent years. At ambient temperature, zinc oxide nanoparticles have a very significant excitation binding energy of 60 meV and band gap energy of 3.37 eV. It is also environmentally benign, non-toxic, and transparent to the visible spectrum. Zinc acetate, zinc chloride, and zinc sulphate precursors were used in the current study to create zinc oxide nanoparticles utilizing a green technique. Cassia leaf extract was used as a precursor and capping agent. Distilled (DW) water was utilized as the solvent, and 1M sodium hydroxide was added in drops to get the pH to 11.6. The produced zinc oxide nanoparticles' morphology and structure were examined by the use of X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

Maaltamuutto ja yhteiskunnan rakennemuutos. Vaikutukset liikuntaan ja urheiluun Turussa 1960-luvulla
Authors: Westerberg Jan
Published: December 2024

Maaltamuutto on pitkäaikainen yhteiskunnallinen rakennemuutos, joka on muokannut suomalaista yhteiskuntaa voimakkaasti toisen maailmansodan jälkeisinä vuosikymmeninä. 1950-luvulta alkaen maatalousyhteiskunta teollistui nopeasti, mikä aiheutti erityisen voimakkaan maan sisäisen muuttoliikkeen. Maaltamuutolla ja rakennemuutoksella oli moninaisia vaikutuksia myös liikuntaan ja urheiluun. Tämä artikkeli tarkastelee näitä vaikutuksia 1960-luvun Turussa. Hyvinvointivaltion rakentaminen ja Suomen väestön uudelleenryhmittyminen maan kasvukeskuksiin muutti liikunnan, urheilun ja politiikan suhdetta. Muutos edesauttoi myös kilpa- ja kuntourheilun eriytymistä sekä ravisutti urheiluseurojen toimintaa; lajivalikoima laajeni ja kehitys kulki monilajisista yleisseuroista kohti yhteen lajiin keskittyviä erikoisseuroja. Turkua pidettiin 1960-luvulla jopa enemmän sivistys- ja kulttuurikaupunkina kuin urheilukaupunkina, mutta maan sisäinen muuttoliike edisti Turun profiilin nostoa nimenomaan urheilun puolella. Maalta kaupunkiin muuttaneet tavoittelivat uutta sosiaalista kiinnittymistä muun muassa liikunnan ja urheilun kautta. Kuntoliikunnan nousu, järjestöpolitiikan virtaukset ja kansainvälisen urheilumenestyksen arvottaminen olivat 1960-luvun keskeisiä teemoja, joiden kautta suomalainen liikunta ja urheilu tarkasteli omaa identiteettiään ja omia motiivejaan.   
Rural flight is a long-term structural societal change that has been strongly shaping Finnish society in the decades succeeding World War II. Since the 1950s, the agricultural society began to undergo a rapid industrialisation process, which caused particularly intense internal migration in the country. This rural flight and structural change also had diverse impacts on physical activity and sports. This article examines these impacts in Turku in the 1960s. The construction of the welfare state and the rearrangement of Finland’s population into the country’s growth centres changed the relationship between physical activity, sports and politics. This change also accelerated the segregation between competitive sports and exercise for fitness and rocked the operations of sports clubs; the range of sports became broader and there was a gradual shift from general clubs with multiple sports to clubs specialised in a single sport. While the Turku of the 1960s was perceived as a city for education and culture rather than one known for sports, internal migration raised Turku’s profile in sports in particular. Residents who had moved to the city from rural areas aimed at a new social adherence through the means of sports and physical activity. The increase in exercise for fitness, trends in organisational politics and the value placed on international success in sports were among the key themes of the 1960s through which sports and physical activity in Finland examined its identity and motives.
