Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan tehnologi yang demikian pesat saat ini membawa lompatan besar dalam hampir semua lini kehidupan, yang mengakibatkan banyak kegiatan berubah menjadi berbasis digital. Sektor industri menjadi sektor yang paling cepat mengadopsi perkembangan tehnologi ini, kegiatan industri yang konvensional berkembang ke arah digitalisasi industri. Demikian juga dalam pembukuan dan penyusunan laporan keuangannya, sebagian besar industri sudah menerapkan kemajuan tehnologi dalam pemrosesan datanya, sehingga tidak lagi dilakukan secara manual. Beberapa software telah dikembangkan untuk mendukung digitalisasi dalam pembukuan dan penyusunan laporan keuangan perusahaan, diantaranya, program komputer akuntansi Accurate.Perkembangan ini harus segera direspon oleh lembaga pendidikan seperti Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan (SMK) yang menghasilkan lulusan di bidang akuntansi, untuk membekali siswanya dengan penguasaan praktek akuntansi yang terkomputerisasi. Sehingga lulusan yang dihasilkan memiliki daya saing di pasar tenaga kerja dan memiliki kompetensi tinggi untuk dapat bekerja bersama dengan perkembangan tehnologi yang sudah diterapkan di industri. Namun tidak semua lembaga pendidikan memiliki laboratorium komputer yang sudah dilengkapi software akuntansi, sehingga siswa tidak dapat melaksanakan praktek akuntansi yang terkomputerisasi.

Reviewing “Filmic Pedagogies”: Student Perceptions of Film Review Assignments in Higher Education - An Example from the UK
Authors: Barker John
Published: January 2025

“Filmic pedagogies” describes the increasing use of film, media and cultural products for teaching, learning and assessment across a diverse range of academic undergraduate programmes. Focusing upon a UK based undergraduate Education Studies degree programme, this article considers film reviews as a way to explore issues around Youth. Based on focus group interviews with 24 final year undergraduates, the article considers students' experiences and perceptions of the process of engaging with films in learning, teaching and assessment. Offering insights into how film reviews motivate students' engagement in assignments, the article considers students' perceptions of the contribution that film reviews can make to graduate outcomes and key labour market skills, expanding professional knowledge bases and developing critical media literacy. In doing so, the article discusses the value and challenges of designing learning, teaching and assessment techniques which are relevant and relatable to students, and offer autonomy and choice, across a range of cultures and countries.

Analyzing Spatial Disparities In Economic Development: A Core-Periphery Approach of the National Capital Region’s Urban Fringe
Authors: Anisco Marie Justine , Gagarin Cris Daniel , Camaro Peter Jeff
Published: January 2025

Purpose: This study examines the influence of Household Final Consumption Expenditure (HFCE), Provincial Inflation, Higher Educational Institutions (HEI), and Transportation and Storage to the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of three Philippine regions: the National Capital Region (NCR), Region III (Central Luzon), and Region IV-A (CALABARZON). These regions were selected due to their distinct roles in the core-periphery model, with the National Capital Region as the economic “core” and Regions III and IV-A as the peripheral regions with economic interconnections to the core. The study uses regional-level data from the Philippine Statistics Authority and the Commission on Higher Education from 2004 to 2021.
Methodology: The study employed Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) for region-specific analysis of the variables and Random Effects Generalized Least Squares (GLS) for the panel dataset, which combines the data across the three regions over time.
Findings: The findings reveal that HFCE positively and significantly impacts GRDP in NCR, Region III and Region IV-A. The number of graduates from HEIs shows a positive and significant relationship with GRDP only in Region III (Central Luzon). The other variables, provincial inflation and transportation and storage does not show a significant relationship to GRDP in the regional level and in all of the regions combined. In the panel dataset, the results highlight that only HFCE has a positive and significant impact on GRDP, suggesting that the economic influence of the core (NCR) extends to the periphery through this variable.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The findings suggest policies aimed at stimulating household consumption in both the core and peripheral regions to foster balanced economic growth.

Published: January 2025

В данной статье изучается содержание элементного состава в образцах Thymus serpyllum и почвы, собранных в Баянаульском Национальном природном парке (Казахстан, Павлодарская область). Химический состав почвы напрямую влияет на содержание питательных веществ в чабреце. Изучение этих взаимосвязей позволяет лучше понять экосистемные процессы и адаптацию лекарственного растения к различным условиям среды. Анализ химического состава чабреца может помочь выявить активные соединения, которые способствуют его лечебным эффектам. Понимание влияния химических свойств почвы на растения может помочь в разработке устойчивых методов сельского хозяйства и охраны природы. Это особенно важно в условиях изменения климата и деградации экосистем. Чабрец может служить индикатором состояния экосистемы. Изменения в химическом составе растения могут указывать на изменения в почве и окружающей среде, что делает его ценным объектом для мониторинга экосистем. Исследование чабреца в различных экосистемах позволяет провести сравнительный анализ, который может выявить уникальные адаптационные стратегии и разнообразие видов, а также их реакцию на антропогенные факторы. Таким образом, изучение химического состава чабреца и почвы является важным шагом к пониманию сложных взаимодействий между растениями и их средой обитания, а также к разработке эффективных методов использования и охраны природных ресурсов.

OPTIMIZATION OF NUTRIENT MEDIUM COMPOSITION FOR CLONAL MICROPROPAGATION OF FRAGARIA ANANASSA
Authors: M. G. Pozhidayev  , I. N. Anikina
Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of research on optimization of the composition of nutrient medium for effective replication of garden strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) microplants. Garden strawberry is a highly demanded berry crop due to its high flavor and rich vitamin composition. Biological features of this crop create limiting factors for accelerated multiplication of high-yielding varieties and their introduction into production. The method of clonal micropropagation allows overcoming many problems of vegetatively propagated crops, including those related to stunting and disease incidence. In this study, the effect of agar-agar as a part of nutrient medium MS and dosage of BAP preparation on the dynamics of development of strawberry plants under in vitro conditions was investigated. The results of the study showed that for induction of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) morphogenesis under in vitro conditions, the use of liquid nutrient medium MS with the addition of BAP preparation at a dosage of 0.5 mg/L is the most effective, since the plant height growth, leaf and root formation are higher. Thus, using liquid nutrient medium with BAP preparation at a dosage of 0.5 mg/l, it is possible to obtain fully formed plants with well-developed root system and developed leaf apparatus in a short period of time. This is of great practical importance to accelerate the growth of strawberry starter material of valuable varieties, suitable for further propagation in production.
Key words: strawberry, nutrient medium, development, in vitro, height, root formation.

Published: January 2025

The article presents the results of our research on the synthesis of pyridine-containing coordination polymers based on zinc and copper. At the moment, metal-organic coordination polymers are considered one of the most interesting and rapidly developing areas of organic chemistry. This determines their use in petrochemistry, pharmaceuticals, construction and much more. The introduction presents a literature review on the methods of synthesis of metal-organic coordination polymers, their structure and the main pyridine ligands used. The structure of a known polymer based on pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid and europium is presented.
The materials and methods describe the reagents used and the synthesis techniques. The discussion results present data on the obtained metal-organic polymers based on pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, and provide photographs of the polymer crystals obtained using a light microscope. The absorption spectra of the synthesized polymers were recorded in comparison with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid. It was shown that the absorption spectra of the initial acid and the obtained polymers exhibit a hypochromic effect of the carboxyl group signal, indicating the formation of a polymer. The polymer obtained on the basis of copper has a more ordered structure, gives a higher yield of the product and better strength properties in contrast to the zinc polymer.
Key words: metal-organic polymers, pyridine, solvent evaporation, dicarboxylic acid, ligand.

Educación ambiental: del ahorro del agua al corazón de la crisis
Authors: Reyes Ruiz Javier , Castro Rosales Elba
Published: January 2025

Este artículo, en su mayoría producto de la experiencia, de la observación de proyectos, acciones y del diálogo con colegas, aborda cómo la educación ambiental ha planeado distintos alcances. Éstos van desde intervenciones formativas simplistas, pero que no deben despreciarse, hasta niveles en los que se busca construir sociedades radicalmente diferentes, no sólo por una relación distinta con la naturaleza, sino también por la búsqueda de alternativas a la cultura y al sistema económico predominante. Se describen cuatro niveles de educación ambiental que se diferencian en sus fines teleológicos, opciones pedagógicas y estilos didácticos, lo cual contribuye a considerar que, más allá de las buenas intenciones, sin una visiónestratégica que precise su sentido y su rumbo, la práctica educativa puede extraviarse en un carrusel de activismo.
Educar la autonomía: el gran reto de la escolarización
Authors: Chao Rebolledo Cimenna
Published: January 2025

En un siglo en el que la autogestión, el autoaprendizaje y la creatividad son protagonistas dentro del conjunto de las capacidades que demanda el sector productivo y laboral, y que resultan indispensables para afrontar los retos que esperan en el horizonte histórico y social, la escuela se rezaga. Lo anterior debido a que prevalecen los escenarios didácticos en donde se continúa educando bajo el modelo de la reproducción de la información, con énfasis en una disciplina pasiva, en la cual el estudiante, además de no ejercitar su sentido de agencia, acota sus acciones a una instrucción sumamente dirigida. Educar la autonomía, implica desarrollar el sentido de agencia, junto con un pensamiento crítico e independiente, y cultivar una percepción de autoeficacia en el estudiante que le permita apropiarse de su proceso formativo, no sólo en la escuela, sino y sobre todo a lo largo de su vida.

Women in Architecture: Contested Legacies
Authors: Sokolina Anna
Published: January 2025

Women are everywhere in architectural territories. The mission is to expand the map and reconstruct the truth about women’s contested legacies. The objectives of this study are to conquer marginalized chronologies and reconstitute panoramic histories of women’s accomplishments. The emphasis is placed on integrity and teamwork of the female half of the Earth’s population. Women’s architectural records are represented in hundreds of archives, yet by just a few museum collections. That evidence proves how little ground these holdings have gained even despite numerous studies published over the recent decades. Informed by the profound heritage of female genius, broader strategies are proposed: The hybrid archives to draw upon the resources of libraries and various collections, depicting the history through photography, documentary, published groundwork, online and other repositories; the hub of personal growth to celebrate cultures across borders; the mosaic approach as compelling source of the narrative; the collective work as tangible evidence of diversity and inclusion. By developing global collaborative projects, the Women in Architecture Affiliate Group of the Society of Architectural Historians aims to stimulate formation of accessible archives that can result in a fascinating collaboration with hundreds of female professionals and reveal built environments in endless new detail.
O conceito de limite segundo Godfrey Harold Hardy (1908) e Elon Lages Lima (1976)
Authors: Dynnikov Circe Mary Silva da Silva
Published: January 2025

Esta investigação, inserida no campo da História da Educação Matemática, pretende responder à seguinte pergunta investigativa: como Hardy e Lima abordaram o conceito de limite em seus respectivos livros: Um curso de matemática pura, de 1908, e Curso de Análise, de 1967? A pesquisa é de cunho descritivo e analítico, revela o que cada autor apresentou sobre o conceito de limite e identifica a abordagem didática de ambos. À luz da teoria dos três mundos de Tall (2013), analisei a abordagem de cada autor, procurando identificar em que mundo conceitual cada um se insere: mundo corporificado (intuitivo); simbólico; formalizado, ou alguma mescla deles. Constatei que a abordagem de Hardy é uma mescla entre o mundo corporificado e simbólico-formalizado, enquanto Lima insere-se no mundo formalizado.
The La Hocha High and associated oil fields (Upper Magdalena Valley, Colombia): A new 3D structural model based on subsurface data
Authors: MANTILLA Martin , SALAZAR Cristian , ROSSELLO Eduardo
Published: January 2025

The La Hocha High (LHH), in the Upper Magdalena Basin of Colombia, consists of a crystalline basement overlain by a Triassic to Neogene sedimentary sequence up to 9 km thick. The San Jacinto Fault (SJF), is a dextral NE-SW striking positive-flower structure with subordinate Riedel shears which strikes N-S with subvertical to high dip to the west. It separates two main structural domains: (i) the La LHH and the Tesalia syncline in the western hanging wall block; and (ii) an eastern footwall block with a synclinorium with three north-south trending en echelon anticlines (shows a recumbent, tight, Z-shaped anticline dipping between 45 and 90° to the west), La Cañada and La Cañada Norte oil fields. The LHH has undergone at least five pulses of transpression between the Maastrichtian and present. Variations of the strike orientation have resulted in local flexural segments that are more transtensive to the right and transpressive to the left. Previous structural interpretations based on 2D balanced sections suggested stacking of thrust sheets detached in the basement as a result of orthogonal plate convergence. However, this new 3D interpretation, based on surface geology, well data and a recent 3D seismic survey, shows clear evidence of dextral Andean thrust components on pre-existing normal faults that controlled Triassic-Jurassic rifting.

Combination of atorvastatin plus N-acetylcysteine versus atorvastatin alone to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy
Authors: Habib Mohammed
Published: January 2025

Introduction

Contrast-induced acute renal injury is the third leading cause of hospital-acquired acute kidney injury. Our trial aimed to compare high-dose statin versus statin plus N acetylcysteine (NAC) to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy.

Material and methods

Randomized control trial included patients who undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at Alshifa Hospital in Gaza, the first group (statin: 50 patients) received 80 mg of atorvastatin orally once daily for 3 days. The second group (statin + NAC: 50 patients) received 80 mg of atorvastatin orally once daily for 3 days, plus NAC 1200 mg orally twice daily every 12 h for 2 days. All patients underwent measurement of serum creatinine and urea level before PCI and 2–3 days after the procedure. The primary endpoint was to compare development of contrast-induced nephropathy between the two groups.

Results

The total group comprised 100 patients: 71 male patients and 29 female patients. Mean age was 59 ±9.8 years. After intervention serum creatinine decreased from 1.02 ±0.27 mg/dl to1.01 ±0.29 mg/dl in the statin group, while it decreased from 1.08 ±0.36 mg/dl to 0.92 ±0.13 mg/dl in the statin + NAC group. The difference between the two groups was significant (p = 0.048). Also, the urea plasma level in the statin group decreased from 34.5 ±9.7 mmol/l to 30.6 ±8.7 mmol/l after PCI, while in the statin + NAC group it decreased from 36.4 ±9.9 mmol/l to 26.2 ±10.6 mmol/l; the difference between the two groups was significant (p = 0.017). Contrast-induced nephropathy was seen in 9 (18%) patients in the statin group and in 2 (4%) patients in the statin + NAC group (p = 0.025).

Conclusions

The combination of high-dose atorvastatin plus NAC compared to atorvastatin alone was associated with a significant reduction of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing PCI.
Limonene as a Multi-Target Antibiofilm and Quorum Sensing Inhibitor Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Authors: Qaralleh Haitham
Published: January 2025

Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a common causative pathogen of nosocomial infections, has recently evolved multidrug resistance, creating an urgent demand to develop alternate antimicrobials targeting virulence systems. In this study, we elucidate the inhibitory effects of limonene, a monoterpene abundantly present in citrus essential oils, on biofilm formation and quorum sensing systems of P. aeruginosa. The determination of limonene antibacterial activity determined the MIC to be 0.63 mg/mL. Limonene showed strong antibiofilm activity, inhibiting by 97.18% at MIC, while at sub-MIC (0.078 and 0.039 mg/mL), it also demonstrated good efficacy. Mechanistic analyses revealed that limonene inhibits biofilm formation via the modulation of bacterial aggregation, surface hydrophobicity, swarming motility, and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) release. Under sub-MIC levels, limonene also inhibited important virulence factors like pyocyanin, rhamnolipids, and LasA protease. Additionally, limonene played a role in interrupting quorum sensing communication, as it inhibited violacein biosynthesis by Chromobacterium violaceum and decreased acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) synthesis in P. aeruginosa. High-throughput molecular analysis confirmed massive downregulation of pivotal quorum sensing genes (lasI/R and rhlI/R), ultimately pointing to limonene's remarkable property of interfering with bacterial signaling circuitry. These results highlight limonene as a multi-target pharmacological agent against P. aeruginosa, representing a promising alternative to classical antibiotics. More studies are required to determine its mechanisms of action, effects on other quorum sensing regulated genes, and responsiveness in clinical settings. These findings add to the mounting evidence supporting the use of natural compounds against antibiotic resistance and biofilm-associated infections.

Blokiranje pristupa veb-sajtovima zbog povrede autorskog prava: kritički osvrt
Authors: Vujičić Novak
Published: January 2025

Ordering internet service providers (ISPs), as neutral intermediaries, to block access to certain contentious websites used by third parties for copyright infringement, has been gaining lately more and more importance as a mechanism for copyright protection in the online environment. This paper analyses the designated copyright protection mechanism in the European Union (EU) law. Firstly, the legal basis and then requirements set up in the EU law for ordering ISPs, as neutral intermediaries, to block access to certain websites owing to copyright infringement are indicated. Afterwards, the inherent problems – “grey areas” of the observed copyright protection mechanism are specifically pointed out. The analysis shows that ordering ISPs to block access to certain contentious websites, as a copyright protection mechanism, should be applied only in exceptional cases where protection cannot be achieved in a more adequate way considering that blocking access to a particular contentious website, depending on the circumstances of the case, may greatly jeopardize the achievement of one or more of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the EU law. Finally, the potential importance of the analysed issue to copyright protection in the Republic of Serbia is highlighted.
Odgovornost internet posrednika prema Direktivi 2019/790: osvrt na pribavljanje saglasnosti kao uslov isključenja odgovornosti
Authors: Savčić Sanja
Published: January 2025

The EU Directive 2019/790 established a special regime of liability of Internet intermediaries that generate revenue through public communication, i.e. making the work available to the public via the Internet. Art. 17 of the Directive 2019/790 explicitly stipulates that online intermediaries, by providing public access to copyrighted works or other protected content posted by their users, perform the act of communicating the work to the public or making available of the protected content. For these reasons, the internet intermediary is obliged to obtain the consent of the right holder, among other things by concluding a contract with the right holder. The obtained consent also includes actions taken by users who post content on the online platform of the service provider, if such users do not operate on a commercial basis, or do not generate significant income from such actions. In order to be released from responsibility, the intermediary must perform at least one of the planned actions: obtaining the consent of the right holder, establishing a mechanism to prevent violations of rights, and removing content that has already been unauthorized. Directive 2019/790 leaves room for Member States to regulate the authorization model by adopting national legal instruments. Thus, an internet intermediary can obtain consent by concluding a contract with the right holder, through a collective organization, or it can draw it from the law itself. Giving consent for the exercise of authority, from the aspect of copyright holders, is in fact the exercise of rights whose effects are economically expressed. Therefore, the link between obtaining consent and determining compensation is a necessary aspect of the analysis of the new accountability system. The paper will pay special attention to this issue.

The internet and platforms for online sales of goods were first significant challenge for traditional trademark law. Social media and e-markets enabled faster and more intensive communication and exchange between traders and consumers, resulting in enhanced importance of trademarks. Mechanisms of trademark protection traditionally designed in accordance with the territoriality principle needed new forms which could overcome shortcomings of common legal remedies, such as alternative dispute resolution methods and special protection policies established intermediaries enabling different interactions on the internet. New technologies and recent development of virtual realities bring new challenges for trademark law, which may lead to redefining of its traditional rules. Non-fungible tokens, metaverse and virtual products bring new forms of assets and new possibilities for financial transactions and profits. Special attention is focused on intellectual property and its protection in new circumstances. The Author of this paper tends to explore challenges the trademark law is facing with, and will analyze some of the first disputes from the practice. In addition, the Author tends to confirm if the existing domestic legal framework is capable to provide necessary support to right holders in these new circumstances of exchange.

Authors: Prabhakar Nitin Kant , Gangwar Reena , Arya Mamta , Mehta J.P.
Published: January 2025

This study investigates the antibacterial potential of extracts from Dolichousnea longissima and Hypotrachyna nepalensis against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Lichens, which are symbiotic associations between an alga (photobiont) and a fungus (mycobiont), are known for synthesizing a diverse range of secondary compounds with various biological activities. The lichen extracts were prepared using chloroform, ethyl acetate, ethanol and methanol, and their antibacterial efficacy was assessed via the agar-well diffusion method. The results revealed significant antibacterial effects, particularly with the ethyl acetate extract from Dolichousnea longissima and the chloroform extract from Hypotrachyna nepalensis, both of which exhibited substantial inhibition zones against the bacterial strains. These findings underscore the potential of lichen extracts as sources of natural antibacterial agents and suggest their promise for future antimicrobial development. Further research aimed at isolating and characterizing specific bioactive compounds could uncover novel therapeutic applications in medicine and pharmaceuticals

Taking into consideration the increased use of chemicals in every field of life and the increasing concern to protect biodiversity, this study focuses on the use of flowers in plants to extract natural dyes in Nainital district, Uttarakhand. The study presents reports on 21 plants whose flowers can be used to extract natural dyes, out of which the
maximum plants belong to the family Fabaceae, the maximum colours obtained are yellow and pink, and the maximum plants belong to the shrub habit. The objective of this study is to address the concern regarding the increasing use of nonbiodegradable, disease-causing chemicals in every field of life. The replacement of natural dyes with synthetic dyes is a bane to biodiversity. Hence, it is necessary to switch from a chemical life to a natural life. The current study focuses only on the use of flowers of the plant to extract natural dyes; this may give new life to the discarded flowers and may become a sustainable way to protect biodiversity
Labeling of Graphs Using Taxi-Cab Metric
Authors: Kumar Ajendra , Tyagi Suraj , Kumar Ajay
Published: January 2025

The labeling of vertices of a graph with m edges using some subset of integers from 0 to m inclusive, in a way that every vertex label is unique and every edge is labeled using absolute difference between its endpoints and this difference lies between 1 and m inclusive, is called graceful labeling. When the same technique is applied but using ordered pairs instead of numbers as identification of vertices and identification of edges are obtained using Taxi-cab metric then it is called Taxi-cab labeling of graphs. In all kinds of former labelings defined by researchers throughout the world, only single numbers are used to label the graphs but by using ordered pairs the problem to label more classes of graphs can be tackled because ordered pairs give wider range of labels per vertex to choose from. The results of this investigation verify that bipartite graphs, tripartite
graphs, vertex switching of cycles and admit Taxi-cab labeling.

The study was conducted in five village clusters in Urgam Valley, Uttarakhand, between October 2021 and December 2023. The study utilized multistage and random purposive sampling techniques to gather quantitative data on agricultural practices, land use patterns, socio-economic characteristics, and other relevant information. One
hundred sixty-five farming households were interviewed in person using a structured questionnaire to gather qualitative and quantitative data. Several agricultural challenges were identified in the valley, including loss of traditional agriculture, soil erosion and fertility depletion, poor community forest governance, and poor farm
productivity and resilience. By adopting soil and water conservation practices such as terracing, contour farming, and agroforestry, farmers in Urgam Valley can mitigate soil erosion, improve soil structure, and conserve soil moisture, thereby enhancing agricultural productivity. Despite the challenges, strategic interventions and innovative
solutions can utilize the potential of hill agriculture for sustainable development and economic prosperity in the Urgam Valley. Through research, extension services, and policy support, the widespread adoption of climateresilient crop varieties can contribute to food security, livelihood sustainability, and ecosystem resilience in the
region amidst a changing climate. Through awareness campaigns, training workshops, and extension programs, agricultural stakeholders can enhance farmers' knowledge and skills, empowering them to adopt best practices, utilize available resources efficiently, and mitigate risks of climate variability and market fluctuations.
