Published: May 2024

Understanding the composition of tree species is essential for establishing conservation priorities. Bu Gia Map National Park is in the tropical rainforest zone of Southeast Vietnam. This paper is to analyse and assess tree species composition and biodiversity conservation in Bu Gia Map National Park. The diversity of plant species in Bu Gia Map National Park was studied to provide baseline information for conservation and sustainable management processes that will prolong the life of National Park. The results obtained from the study conducted on the plant species composition and forest vegetation in this national park revealed a total of 786 species, spanning 430 genera and 132 families, across three divisions of vascular plants: Polypodiophyta, Pinophyta, and Magnoliophyta. Among these are 300 species of timber plants, 270 species of medicinal plants, 62 species of edible plants, 74 species of ornamental plants, 40 species of industrial plants, 28 species of fiber plants, and 12 species of plants with unknown use. Notably, during the investigation period, Goniothalamus vietnamensis Ban and Myxopyrum smilacifolium Blume were newly recorded in the forest vegetation of Bu Gia Map National Park. The study also describes a variety of forest vegetation in the area, identifying two major forest vegetation types within Bu Gia Map National Park.
Evaluating the efficiency of baited pitfall traps covered with mesh panels for sampling dung beetles
Authors: Bac Bui Van
Published: May 2024

Baited pitfall traps represent a widely utilized method for dung beetle sampling. The effectiveness of this approach can be influenced by various factors, such as the type of bait used, trap size, and modifications to trap components. An important challenge during trapping is the inadvertent capture of non-target animals (such as: frogs, lizards, snakes, small rodents, and spiders), a concern that becomes more pronounced if endangered species are involved. To address these issues, incorporating a mesh panel into pitfall traps can help prevent unwanted intrusions. In this study, we assess the efficiency of baited pitfall traps covered with 2 cm mesh panels (BPTMP) for sampling dung beetles in tropical karst ecosystems within the Huu Lien Nature Reserve (northern Vietnam), comparing them with typical baited pitfall traps (BPT). The result revealed no significant differences in the species composition of dung beetles between the two trap types. Although the abundance of large-bodied dung beetles was significantly lower in BPTMPs compared to trap BPTs, the overall abundance and diversity of dung beetles did not significantly differ between the two trap types. Therefore, we strongly recommend adopting this sampling technique in studying on the diversity of dung beetles.

Published: May 2024

The study applied GIS and Markov chains to assess land use changes in the period 2015-2020 and forecast land use change trends in Thach That district, Hanoi city until 2030. Using two maps of the land use status quo map in 2015 and 2020 of Thach That district and 2 period land statistics, the research result has established a land use change map in Thach That district for the period 2015 - 2020 for 16 types of land with a land change rate of 9.63% of the total natural area. During this period, the land types that tend to increase are Perennial crop land; Special-use Forest land; Aquaculture land; Other agricultural land; Residential land; Special-use land; Land for religious establishments; Land for beliefs establishments and Specialized water surfaces with an increased rate of 0.05-2.28%. In contrast, land types with a decreasing trend are Annual crop land; Production Forest land; Protective Forest land; Cemetery land, cemetery, funeral home, crematorium; Land of rivers, streams, canals and streams; Other non-agricultural land, and Unused land which decreased at a rate of 0.02-2.34%. It is forecast that by 2030, agricultural land will have 10,271.28 hectares (accounting for 54.90%), non-agricultural land will have 8,432.22 hectares (accounting for 45.07%), unused land will have 4.76 hectares (accounting for 0.03%). Performing a T-Test (Paired two sample for Means) between the area from the forecast and the planned area until 2030 shows that ρ = 0.979 > 0.05. Thus, it proves that the results of forecasting land use changes to 2030 using the Markov chain compared to the land use planning plan of Thach That district do not have too big a difference. The results of assessing land use changes and making forecasts of land change trends in the Thach That district contribute to helping policymakers have an objective view of land-use planning and economic development sustainably.

Authors: Adnan Yasin  , Ruqia Shaheen  , Madiha Hasan  , Fouzia Yasmin
Published: May 2024

This study analyses Pakistan's educational policies, resource distribution, and prevailing inequities using a case study method. The educational system of Pakistan has encountered substantial obstacles as the presence of a considerable illiteracy rate and a notable portion of children not receiving education. Despite a rise in primary and secondary schools, more than 10 million children are not provided access to education, underscoring the presence of inadequate governance. Furthermore, educators are scarce, with a mere 3 teachers accessible for every 1,000 students. Educational policies determining a nation's line by influencing its intellectual, social, and economic progress are ineffective in guiding educational systems, particularly in organizing curricula, allocating resources, and establishing governance frameworks. The allocation of resources in Pakistan's education sector is crucial in determining the quality and availability of educational opportunities.

Segregación residencial y ocupacional de la población africana en España en el siglo XXI
Authors: Gastón-Guiu Silvia , Domingo Andreu , Bayona-i-Carrasco Jordi
Published: May 2024

La migración africana en España jugó un papel pionero en la transición de país de emigración a uno de inmigración. A pesar de los intensos flujos de otros orígenes a partir del año 2000, los africanos siguen siendo uno de los colectivos más importantes. Se caracterizan por una gran dispersión territorial, pero con elevados niveles de segregación laboral y residencial. El análisis de la relación entre estos niveles a escala autonómica es el objetivo de este trabajo, en comparación con el resto de inmigrados. Las preguntas a las que responde esta investigación, realizada a partir de los valores del índice de disimilitud y del análisis de correlaciones de Pearson, son: 1) ¿cómo se modifican los niveles de segregación residencial y ocupacional según sexo y origen?; 2) ¿en qué medida se ven afectados por la influencia de la coyuntura económica?, y 3) ¿cuál es la correlación entre ocupación y segregación residencial?

Published: May 2024

Contar con un entorno urbano adaptado a las necesidades de las personas mayores es clave para garantizar un envejecimiento activo y un bienestar físico y emocional entre ellas. En este artículo presentamos los resultados de un proyecto donde se han entrevistado a 38 personas de edades muy avanzadas (entre 73 y 95 años) para estudiar la relación entre envejecimiento, soledad y espacio público en Barcelona. Aunque se ha producido una mejora significativa en la calidad y la accesibilidad del espacio público, así como en la dotación de equipamientos, estas personas, que presentan algunos problemas de salud y una reducción en algunos casos importante de su movilidad, inciden y proponen determinadas medidas para una mejora de la calidad del espacio público y su entorno más próximo, el barrio, para asegurar su independencia y autonomía y mejorar su calidad de vida. La mayoría considera que su barrio es un buen lugar para envejecer y propone continuar trabajando en la mejora de la caminabilidad del espacio público, su mantenimiento, el incremento de las condiciones de seguridad, así como la creación de más equipamientos para gente mayor y que cuenten con mayor dotación de personal.

HYGROSCOPIC WATER CONTENT AS AN INDICATOR OF SOIL DISPERSITY:THERMODYNAMIC BASIS AND EXPERIMENTAL VERIFICATION
Authors: Smagin A. V. , Sadovnikova N. B.
Published: May 2024

The adsorption properties of dispersed systems are determined by their surface energy, therefore the indicators of hygroscopy (adsorbed water content) and dispersity (specific surface area of the solid phase) of soils and sediments are in close mutual correlation. This well-known empirical fact received a new fundamental interpretation based on the theory of disjoining water pressure according to Deryagin in the form of a thermodynamic equation connecting the specific surface area, hygroscopic water content of soil samples and the relative humidity of the air in the laboratory room. The theoretical equation allowed us to substantiate the methodology for quantifying the hydrophilic specific surface area of soil samples based on widespread data on their hygroscopy. A comparison of the new method with the standard BET-analysis of the specific surface area, as well as with the previously proposed physically based method for its determining by the slope of thermodynamic water retention curves, showed their statistically reliable agreement in a wide range of estimated specific surface area values from 5 to 340 m2×g-1 for soil samples of different genesis and texture.
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING SOIL-AGROCHEMICAL POTENTIAL FOR OPTIMIZING THE STRUCTURE OF LAND USE OF THE VOLOZHINSK DISTRICT OF THE REPUBLIC OF BELARUS
Authors: KINDEEV A.L. , KLEBANOVICH N.V.
Published: May 2024

The article discusses one of the ways to assess the condition of soil cover to improve the efficiency of land management using the example of the Volozhin region of the Republic of Belarus. A comprehensive assessment of the agrochemical and natural potential of the soil is proposed by means of typing the soil cover depending on agrochemical indicators (pHKCl, humus content, mobile compounds of phosphorus and potassium) and a quality score reflecting the natural state of the soil. Using geostatistical methods, the values of agrochemical indicators were interpolated from elementary areas into areas of soil varieties of agricultural lands and classified according to the degree of content of agrochemical elements that made up the agrochemical potential (AP). After crossing the AP with the bonitet score, 9 groups of soils were identified according to soil-agrochemical potential (SAP), of which the largest share (58,2 %) is occupied by soils with average potential (61,950 ha). Based on the results of a spatial assessment of the PAP, it was determined that sod-podzolic and sod-podzolic swampy soils developing on light loams and cohesive sandy loams have the greatest potential. It was also revealed that areas with low PAP gravitate towards the most dissected areas of the terrain with sandy and cohesive sandy soils. Based on the typification carried out, the main types of preferred land use in the Volozhin region were determined: more than half of the agricultural land can be used for intensive agricultural use for arable land (52,1 %) and meadows (12,5 %), traditional land use is possible for 29,3 % territories and only 6,2 % of lands require the use of soil protection farming systems, primarily focused on erosion-hazardous areas of the area.

In this work, the effect of a new quinoxaline derivative, 2-phenyl-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy) quinoxaline (PYQX), was evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel (CS) in 1 M HCl electrolyte. Weight loss measurement, atomic absorption spectroscopy, potentio­dynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy were employed to assess the inhibitory activity. The electronic properties of the interaction between the inhibitor molecule and the CS substrate were studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, density functional theory (DFT), and Fukui functions. According to AC impedance experiments, the inhibitor under consideration showed a maximum level of 98.1 % inhibition efficiency at 1 mM and 30 °C. The Langmuir adsorption isotherm model explains the adsorption of PYQX on the CS surface. A slope of 1 denotes a strong molecule-substrate interaction, suggesting that the binding occurs at specific surface locations. To understand the functioning of the adsorption mechanism, various thermodynamic and activation parameters were evaluated. PDP tests demonstrated that PYQX functions as a mixed-type inhibitor. Computational correlations (DFT, MD, and Fukui indices) supported the experimental findings.

Development of biopellet formulation of Lecanicillium saksenae for the management of pepper root mealybug (Formicoccus polysperes)
Authors: SHARIN ASNA , O P REJI RANI
Published: May 2024

Present study was carried out during 2020–23 in the Biocontrol Laboratory for Crop Pest Management, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. An indigenous isolate of Lecanicillium saksenae (Kushwaha) Kurihara and Sukarno, ITCC 7714 was assessed for its effectiveness against the pepper root mealybug (Formicoccus polysperes Williams). Peculiar symptoms like sudden dissolution of mealy coating subsequent to the application of conidial suspension and paralysis occurring 12 h post-treatment was observed in mealybugs upon infection. Its high potency to mealybug was established with its low LC50 value of 2.2 × 105 conidia/ml and its quick killing ability was proved with a lethal time of 23.13 h. Of the various carriers tested for pelleting, talc + chitin (95:5) was found to be the best as it exhibited highest conidial viability of 78.54%, 5-weeks after storage. Other carriers such as talc, chitin, chitosan and talc + chitosan (90:10) exhibited conidial viability of 33.96–74.58%. Among the different binding agents examined, the combination of talc + chitin (95:5) + carboxymethyl cellulose 6% was the superior one to maintain conidial viability to the tune of 80.63% when compared to microcrystalline cellulose 6% and acacia gum, Arabic 5% which exhibited 30.67–51.50% viability. The investigation therefore concluded that L. saksenae is a promising bioagent for the management of root mealybugs with high speed of action unlike the other microbes. Biopellets formulated at 109 conidia/ml using talc + chitin + 6% CMC at 15% moisture content were found to retain its viability and virulence during a storage period of three months, under ambient conditions.

Exploration and Purification of Secondary Metabolites from Lactobacillus acidophilus and Their Potential as a Bio-preservative
Authors: Chaudhary Anis Ahmad , Fareed Mohammad
Published: May 2024

The natural tendency of many food items to spoil requires the use of natural preservatives to extend shelf life while maintaining their original qualities, such as texture and flavour. Consequently, there's a rising demand for preservatives derived from organic sources. This research focused on producing a bioactive compound with a low molecular weight using Lactobacillus acidophilus (MTCC 10307). The study investigated how different production mediums, temperatures, and pH levels influenced the synthesis process. With optimized conditions, the molecule was synthesized, extracted, purified, and characterized. UV analysis detected an absorption peak characteristic of a proteinaceous substance in the extracted material. The isolated compound was then tested for its antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens. By utilizing the isolated component as a bio-preservative in various types of juices, its effect on shelf life was assessed. One advantage of a low molecular weight compound is its ability to quickly penetrate cell walls and combat bacteria responsible for food spoilage.

Place and Person at Pre-Hispanic Teotihuacan, Mexico
Authors: D. Gillespie Susan
Published: May 2024

There are significant societal differences evident in the material remains of the Classic period (ca. AD 250-600) city of Teotihuacan in central Mexico compared to contemporary Maya kingdoms in southern Mexico and Guatemala, despite both being part of the larger Mesoamerican civilization, sharing many cultural features. One proposed explanation for these differences derives from an analytical social science dichotomy that contrasts groups and individuals. According to this approach, Maya art and architecture indicate a society centered on individuals, particularly the rivalrous semi-divine rulers. Teotihuacan’s depersonalized art, lack of royal tombs, and gridded city plan are believed to indicate a corporate ethos in which individuals were subsumed by the societal collective. However, archaeological evidence for these interpretations is not compelling; moreover, the dichotomy itself is misleading. The key to these differences may lie in conceptions of embodied versus emplaced personae. The identity of Teotihuacanos was shaped by living within the city itself, and their concepts of personhood were entwined with their built environment in ways different from their Maya counterparts.

The Effect of Human Capital, Economic Anxiety, And Political Ideologies on Immigrant Health Perceptions: a Between-Subjects Experimental Approach
Authors: Nkouaga Florent
Published: May 2024

This research examines the factors that influence health-related stereotypes against immigrants, with a focus on how human capital, conservative ideology, and economic anxiety impact these perceptions across different immigrant groups in the United States. The study uses Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis of data from the 2020 Collaborative Multi-racial Post-Election Survey to assess attitudes towards all immigrants, as well as specifically Mexican and Chinese immigrants. Objective: Health stereotypes often depict immigrants as carriers of diseases and burdens on society, which affect public opinion and policy. This study aims to analyze the roles of human capital, political ideology, and economic conditions in shaping these stereotypes. Method: Using OLS regression, the analysis explores the association between stereotyping and various predictors, including conservative ideology (measured objectively and subjectively), human capital, and economic anxiety. Disaggregating the data by immigrant group allows for nuanced insights into the interplay of these factors. Results: The results reveal moderate levels of stereotyping across all groups, with variations by immigrant origin. Objective measures of conservative ideology show a strong correlation with increased stereotyping, particularly against Mexican immigrants. Higher human capital is associated with reduced stereotyping, while economic anxiety consistently exacerbates negative stereotypes across all groups. Furthermore, Republican affiliation and racial identity are correlated with heightened stereotyping, especially against Chinese immigrants. Discussion: The findings highlight the complexity of the factors contributing to health-related stereotypes and emphasize the importance of addressing educational and economic elements to mitigate these biases. Tailored interventions that take into account the distinct dynamics of each immigrant group are crucial for reducing stereotypes and improving integration and health outcomes.
Decision in the Chartreuse: Stendhal on Stage
Authors: Cortland Peter
Published: May 2024

Stendhal’s composition of the Chartreuse de parme takes us through an operatic scenario where all is stage effect, the excitation of the audience through conventional devices. We have a political novel acted out for emotional logic, a historical romance following Scott but subjected to classical irony. The subject disappears in the fireworks of words, and we have through exciting actions an example of the text digesting itself, a game, a novel (shockingly!) about nothing. It is a different direction for the novel craft, a novel acting the part of a novel. It is Stendhal.
Promotion Hurts Brand Personality and Consumer Responses
Authors: Kučinskas Gedas
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the impact of promotional offers on consumer perceptions of brand personality and their subsequent behavioral intentions. Research employs a between-subjects design with two conditions: exposure to an advertisement with a promotional offer versus no offer. The results reveal that promotional offers significantly affect perceptions of several brand personality traits, notably reducing the perception of traits such as 'spirited', 'outdoorsy', and 'upper class'. Moreover, the study examines how individual differences in consumer price sensitivity and brand affinity moderate these effects, indicating that the impact of promotional offers varies across different consumer segments. Mediation analyses further demonstrate that the perceived changes in brand personality traits due to promotional offers significantly mediate the relationship between advertising conditions and consumer responses, such as willingness to pay a premium and likelihood of visiting the brand's retail outlets. These findings suggest that promotional offers can alter consumer perceptions of brand personality. This study provides essential insights for marketers on how promotional strategies can be optimized to influence consumer attitudes and behaviors effectively, offering a nuanced understanding of the interplay between promotional offers, brand personality perception, and consumer behavior.

Numerous studies have shown that leading hotels of the world take a lead in implementing the latest trends in Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) systems. However, most of the hotels in Zimbabwe are usually reactive with the pace at which they are embracing and using the ICT systems. Hence, the study explores extant literature using the scoping review approach to explain the current technological developments shaping the hotel sub-sector. This research explores the tourism and hospitality industry from a global point of view, highlighting the pros and cons brought about by the hotel industry embracing modern technologies. The following objectives specifically guided the research: to explore level of adoption of new technologies usage in Harare hotels, to establish the merits and hindrances encountered by hoteliers in the adoption of new technologies by Harare hotels. Strategies that can be adopted by hotels in Zimbabwe to enhance the contribution of new technologies have been suggested. Hotels in Zimbabwe are aware of the benefits that are obtained through the adoption of new technologies such as: value creation, improved communication, low cost of production, and improved productivity among others. The findings of the study indicate that there is underutilization of ICT by Harare hotels due many challenges that include: limited investments in ICT applications, expensive ICT infrastructure, lack of expertise and technical know-how in new technologies and software, and limited telecommunications infrastructure. The study came up with the following recommendations to the hoteliers: to be transparent when implementing new technologies, to involve employees, to socialize and capacitate all key stakeholders in order to ensure that they are ready to embrace new technologies. Also the management must give all the necessary support to the employees and equip them with the essential skills.

Published: May 2024

The growth of the consumer economy in the last century has led to several significant issues that endanger human life. Overexploitation of nature and soils, the use of pesticides and growth stimulants have had a negative impact on the environment and water resources. The current situation has necessitated that societies worldwide adopt new production approaches to immediately halt soil degradation and improve water quality. One production approach that aims to protect public health and the environment is sustainable production. Sustainable production is an ecological management system that promotes biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. The farming system is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and management practices that restore, maintain or enhance ecological harmony. The aim of this study is to explain the importance of sustainable products and production, to address the problems and suggestions encountered in the marketing of sustainable products in Turkey, and to propose solutions.

Se realizó la determinación de cafeína en ocho muestras de café procedentes de diferentes ciudades de la Amazonía Peruana, Colombia y Ecuador, con el objetivo de desarrollar una metodología para el análisis de rutina del contenido de cafeína en diversas muestras por cromatografía líquida de alta eficiencia de fase reversa. Este estudio se realizó usando una fase móvil de agua: metanol (75:25, v/v), a un flujo de 0,3 mL min-1 y una temperatura de 45 °C. La cafeína fue isocráticamente separada a 3,8 min. Las concentraciones de cafeína en las muestras se determinaron mediante una curva de calibración con estándar externo, las cuales se encontraron en el rango de 9,74 a 11,12 mg g-1 en café tostado molido, en 11,08 mg/g en cáscara de café y de 9,17 a 26,59 mg/g en café soluble liofilizado. Se obtuvieron recuperaciones de 68,34, 93,98 y 78,0 % para las fortificaciones de 50, 100 y 150 μg mL-1, respectivamente. Estos resultados indican que la metodología de cuantificación fue validada a través de un método de separación sencilla y rápida. El estudio permitió obtener concentraciones de cafeína en muestras de café de la región y sugerir el consumo promedio sin superar los límites saludables.
