Published: January 2024

Closing the loop – An EU action plan for the circular economy identified the Fertilisers Regulation revision as a key legislative proposal to boost the market for secondary raw materials. The European Commission has adopted recently EU Fertilising Products Regulation EU 2019/1009 expanding its scope to secondary-raw-material-based products (from biogenic wastes and other secondary raw materials). During the industrial processing of sunflowers, sunflower husks used as alternative fuels resulting in the generation of waste ash. Sunflower ash is a known material as a good and cheap source of potassium. In present study the tested samples of ashes is characterized as a starting raw material for the producing fertilizers in an accredited and authorized Laboratory for fertilisers quality. The tested samples is not loaded with heavy metals and the risk of recycling contaminants has not been assessed. According to the content of available (water-soluble) elements, the content of soluble phosphorus and micronutrients is very low, while potassium is completely water-soluble (40 to 50% K2O m/m), therefore, the tested ashes can be regarded as a good raw material as a source of potassium component in the final product. The pH reaction of the samples is extremely alkaline, therefore it is necessary to neutralize pH reaction in the industrial processing of this raw material, or to restrict the final product for use on acid reaction soils.
Easement of forests and forest land for the growing of perennial crops - the analysis of (non)functionality regarding the ecological network and ecosystem functions
Authors: Kiš Konrad , Geršak Nikola
Published: January 2024

By the Government's decisions from the period 2004 to 2013, a significant amount of state forests and forest land was eased for the growing of perennial crops (vineyards and olive yards) on a total surface of 24,310.24 ha throughout the state. Although greatly opposed by forestry professionals, since a vast amount of private agricultural land in the state is not utilized due to unresolved proprietary issues, these surfaces have become agricultural land by coming into force from the Forest Act of 2014. In case these dedicated surfaces are not put into function, the amount of non-utilized agricultural land is increasing and so is the danger from forest fires, and loss of biological and landscape diversity. On the other hand, if all these surfaces were utilized, a significant adverse impact on the ecological network would occur because on many ecological network sites more than 1% of the dedicated area consists of target habitat types (mostly maquis). The purpose of this paper is, to use GIS tools and analysis of the so-far signed easement contracts, to determine what amount of dedicated surfaces were utilized and point out the failure and environmental dangers that may arise from these decisions which can still be revoked, and the affected area can be brought back into the forest area of the Republic of Croatia, i. e. sustainable forest management can still be reinstated and forest functions restored.
Making strategic environmental assessment work for biodiversity in Croatia
Authors: Božić Boris
Published: January 2024

Strategic Environmental Assessment is a tool used in the EU for mainstreaming biodiversity and environmental issues into other sectors of socio-economic development. SEA offers a high level of environmental protection and can shape plans, programs, and strategies towards a more sustainable solution. Based on the EU Commission SEA report (2019) and interviews conducted with practitioners in national SEA processes, the possibility of shaping plans towards more sustainable solutions has rarely been fully achieved. What are the obstacles to effective SEA national implementation and how to overcome them was the focus of this paper. The research was conducted with three main groups of stakeholders: consultants, the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, and environmental Civil Society Organisations. As a result, opportunities and specific intervention points were identified. The main opportunities consist of raising the level of SEA inclusiveness, educating stakeholders in the SEA process and improving the initiation timing of the SEA process. Further, opportunities were developed into specific interventions and ranked based on five criteria: Impact, Probability of success, Cultural fit, Added value, and Resource intensity. This paper suggests that stimulating the application of existing guidelines and educating the SEA committee have the highest potential impact and added value to SEA process improvement, but educating the SEA committee is a more complex task due to high cultural challenges. Improving a SEA non-technical summary and standardising the public hearing forms are interventions with a high probability of success, culturally fit, and not resource intensive but with low impact on the overall SEA process. Importantly, 10 out of 15 identified specific interventions are unique for this project, indicating this work's novelty. Finally, this paper suggests that for long-term improvement of the national SEA process, establishing the SEA Technical Working Group is highly beneficial.

Authors: Wijaya Cindy Denhara , Shieny Lokanata  , Rosion Hadameon Eka Putri Panggabean
Published: January 2024

Introduction. Candida albicans commonly causes oral thrush, an opportunistic illness that affects the mouth. Both topical and systemic antifungal medications effectively treat oral thrush. The study compared tomato leaf (Lycopersicum esculatum Mill) antifungal effects on Candida albicans growth at two different concentrations: 25% and 70%.

Methods. This research utilizes laboratory trials employing post-test-only control groups. The Microbiology Laboratory Universitas Sumatera Utara supplied the investigation with a pure culture isolate of Candida albicans. To figure out the sample size, we used the Federer formula six times, once for each group of tomato leaves at 25% and 70% concentrations and once for the nystatin (positive control) and DMSO (negative control) groups. Use of a digital caliper for measuring the resistance diameter. We used the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test to look at the data.

Result. Tomato leaves at 25% and 70% concentrations successfully limit Candida albicans development, according to the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The efficiency of tomato leaves at 25% and 70% concentrations in inhibiting the development of Candida albicans was shown by mean inhibitory diameters of 7.73 ± 0.366 mm and 10.21 ± 0.948 mm, respectively. Nystatin, the positive control, had an average inhibitory diameter of 25.77 ± 0.505 mm, whereas DMSO solvent, the negative control, showed no inhibition at all. Between the groups, there was a significantly different inhibitory diameter of Candida albicans growth, as shown by the Kruskal-Wallis test (p=0.000; p?0.05). At doses ranging from 25% to 75%, the Mann-Whitney test showed that there was a significant difference (p?0.05) in the effectiveness of tomato leaf extracts in inhibiting the development of Candida albicans compared to the negative control group.

Conclusion. Tomato leaves inhibit the development of Candida albicans. The antifungal efficacy of tomato leaves is higher at a concentration of 70% compared to 25%.

Published: January 2024

The awareness of spatial determinants of forest degradation is crucial to adequately equip human capacity and inform decision-makers when implementing institutional instruments, including the World Heritage Convention (WHC) and other strategic policies for forest protection. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate and contrast experts’ perceptions and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) outcomes on spatial determinants of forest landscape degradation in the Kilimanjaro World Heritage Site (WHS), Tanzania, to create awareness and support strategic policies for forest landscape protection and natural heritage sustainability. In doing so, Matrix questionnaire was designed to generate data and deployed a descriptive analysis of response to summarise the questionnaires’ data characteristics. The findings were used to contrast the GIS outcomes on spatial determinants of forest degradation. The key findings showed that most experts perceived distances to tourist routes, campsites, picnics, historical sites, and degrees of slope as positively associated with forest degradation but with contradicted opinions on the level of elevation. Also, key findings showed contradictions between the GIS outcome and experts’ perceptions of the degrees of slope. However, the findings on distances to campsites, tourist routes, and picnics showed that experts’ opinions are in line with the GIS outcomes as both indicated positive associations. The awareness provided in this study is crucial for experts and other decision-makers in implementing WHC and other strategic policies for forest protection in the Kilimanjaro WHS and other natural WHS found in the Global South in general and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular

Numerical Investigation of Blended and Raked Winglets Characteristics
Authors: Farook Mohammed Hussain , Kumar G. C. Vishnu
Published: January 2024

This research compares the efficiency of various winglet designs to reduce lift-induced drag by altering the amount and distribution of vortices at the wingtip and with changes to the baseline wing's aerodynamic properties. To explore the three-dimensional flow and vortex formation around the half wing, computational simulations utilizing the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the K-SST turbulence model were run using Ansys Fluent R19.2. The simulation demonstrates that there is a significant correlation between the wing's lift, drag, and pitching moment, as well as the size of the tip vortex. The redesigned wing works distributes the vortices and minimizes drag. It was observed that optimizing the winglet tips was essential for increasing the lift coefficient while lowering the contributions of frictional and vortex drag components. It was observed that the lift increased with the winglet tips, the increase in frictional drag caused by the wetted surface area is a barrier to aerodynamic efficiency. The findings indicate that the chevron-type tips is best in reducing drag. It is outperformed by wings without chevron winglets in terms of lift-to-drag ratio. It is determined that chevron tips are the best winglet as their aerodynamic efficiency is essential for increasing flight range and endurance. Overall, it is observed that winglets are more efficient at lower aspect ratios and that a moderate aspect ratio of 10 offers the greatest increase in aerodynamic efficiency.

The conversion of land functions in the slope area which was previously a protected forest and then being cut to make roads will certainly affect the level of stability. High intensity rains will also affect the increase in surface runoff which will erode the surface of the slopes and erosion. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to study the safety level of the slopes along the Lokoboko-Lokipere road due to changes in soil water content. Soil sampling is carried out by taking disturbed soil and undisturbed soil and testing soil properties, among others; soil consistency, analysis of specific gravity, cohesion, and shear angle with the addition of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the initial moisture content. The results of this test show that physically the soil samples on the Lokoboko-Lokipere road section of Ende Regency are classified in soil group A-2-5, namely in the form of gravel and sandy soils that are silt or loamy. Meanwhile, according to USCS, the soil can be classified as silty sand (SM). Mechanically. For slopes with a height of 10 m, it is not safe to add water to 100% of the initial condition (wi), SF=0.996. For a 20 m high slope, it is no longer safe from the initial conditions, SF=0.950. The failure plane for slopes with a height of 10 m is deeper than the failure plane for slopes with a height of 20 m.
