Socio-economic drivers of increasing number of slums in Chile
Authors: Vergara-Perucich Francisco
Published: July 2022

Between 2017 and 2020 the number of households living in slums in Chile has increased by 73.52%, which has led the state to urgently develop housing solutions to reorient public policy in this area. This article contributes to this discussion through an exploratory statistical analysis to identify the socio-economic drivers that best help to explain the formation of slums in Chilean cities. The resulting predictive model is tested in Greater Santiago, the nation’s capital, with good results, validating its usefulness for the design of housing policies. Among the results, low household income and the presence of international immigrants explain an increase in the probability of housing precariousness, while the presence of renters and heads of household with postgraduate degrees decreases this possibility. In addition to the specific scope for the Chilean case, the article shares a methodological strategy that can be replicated in other countries and cities to develop similar diagnoses.

Highlights for public administration, management and planning:

•

A predictive model is developed using census data to identify the areas of the city where vulnerability of housing measured by socioeconomic factors may reflect precariousness of housing.

•

Areas of the city with high rate of international immigrants and/or low-income households tend to predict precariousness of housing.

•

Areas of the city where households’ heads have postgraduate degrees and/or are tenants tend to have less probability of developing precarious housing.
Correlation between user activity at different rooftop typologies in residential buildings in a compact urban context
Authors: Hossain Sharif Tousif , Zaman K M Ulil Amor Bin
Published: July 2022

The scarcity of public open space has compelled urbanites to use residential rooftops as an interaction space. In Dhaka, rooftops are used for various social and recreational purposes which has extensively increased due to COVID-19 restrictions. During this period, few rooftops are used frequently while few are less occupied. Hence, the study identifies different variables that impact rooftop activities and finds correlations between them using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The study further shows the direction for accelerating the use of rooftops as an interaction space in residential buildings.

Highlights for public administration, management and planning:

•

Rooftops represent important places of public life in Dhaka.

•

The variables that affect the social and recreational activities of residential rooftop space are analysed.

•

Statistically significant correlations were found between rooftop occupied by various services and number of activities, floor dampness and number of activities, the rooftop occupied by various services and a comfort zone with a pleasant view, parapet height and number of activities, and parapet height and safety.

•

The paper sets recommendations for designing and managing rooftop spaces.
Ecological features of the alien species Pistia stratiotes L. in different habitats of the secondary distribution range (Ukraine)
Authors: Prokopuk Mariana , Zub Lesya
Published: July 2022

We have analyzed structural and dynamic characteristics (production, morphometric parameters, phytocoenotic features and invasive behavior) of two locations with the alien species Pistia stratiotes L. in different types of water bodies, by origin, use and trophic status (a drainage canal and oxbow lake) in the outskirts of Kyiv. It is possible that in the case of increased anthropogenic eutrophication due to inorganic nitrogen, mother plants become smaller and more compact. The variability of morphological features increases. We also have distinguished growth of invasive potential of the species in the conditions of the water bodies of the region.

Published: July 2022

Albeit rich in a number of taxa, flora of Orchidaceae in Bosnia and Herzegovina has not been sufficiently studied. The paper presents distribution of ten rare and threatened orchid taxa in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Serapias bergonii and Himantoglossum calcaratum subsp. rumelicum are new for Bosnia and Herzegovina, while for other studied taxa (Serapias parviflora, Serapias vomeracea, Himantoglossum adriaticum, H. calcaratum subsp. calcaratum, Gymnadenia frivaldii, Pseudorchis albida, Orchis quadripunctata, Cypripedium calceolus) in addition to field investigation, checking and revision of herbarium material, as well as literature sources were also used for supplementing distribution data. The distribution maps of these taxa in Bosnia and Herzegovina are created on a 10 km × 10 km MGRS grid system. Based on the IUCN Red List criteria, the threat status in Bosnia and Herzegovina was assessed for all studied taxa. Data concerning their habitat preferences and population size are also provided.

Authors: Sakhraoui Nora , Verloove Filip , Hadef Azzedine
Published: July 2022

The escape from cultivation of Ficus microcarpa (Moraceae, Magnoliopsida) in Algeria is here reported. Several localities where the species reproduces from seeds have been discovered recently in northeastern Algeria. A map of its current distribution in the study area is provided. The species colonizes mainly urban habitats (walls, balconies and sidewalks) but its propagation in the natural environment is being facilitated by birds that disseminate the seeds over long distances. Ficus microcarpa can be considered as in the process of naturalization in Algeria. An updated key to species of the genus Ficus in Algeria is provided.
What do We Know About Teacher Educators’ Perceptions of Education for Sustainable Development? A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Goller Antje , Rieckmann Marco
Published: July 2022

Teacher educators prepare prospective teachers to deliver Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in schools. Lecturers’ personal perceptions of ESD guide them in this work. While there has been some research into lecturers’ perceptions of ESD in general, teacher educators as a group have been given scarcely any consideration. As groundwork for further research in this area, the research question that is the focus of this paper is: What do we know about teacher educators’ perceptions (understanding, attitudes, ideas about implementation) of ESD? We carried out a systematic literature review, including bibliographic analysis and qualitative content analysis of all the papers identified (N = 12). We found both broad and relatively limited understanding and mainly positive but also some negative attitudes. Common perceptions and/or experiences of barriers and drivers are set out below, as are reports on implementation. We conclude that further research is needed in this important field in order to develop measures to bring about systemic change in teacher education.
The Discourse of Sustainability in English Language Teaching (ELT) at the University of Oxford: Analyzing Discursive Representations
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr
Published: July 2022

The article presents and discusses a study that focuses upon discursive representations of sustainability in English Language Teaching (ELT) that are found on the official web-site of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The study involved a corpus of texts related to sustainability in ELT that were collected on the website of the University of Oxford. The corpus was analyzed qualitatively to identify and classify the types of discursive representations of sustainability in ELT. After that, it was investigated quantitatively to calculate the most frequent types of discursive representations of sustainability. The results of the corpus analysis revealed that the most frequent types of discursive representation of sustainability in ELT at the University of Oxford involved “lifelong learning” and “digital sustainability”, respectively. It was found that the aforementioned discursive representations did not reflect the main sustainability goals that were set by the University of Oxford, inter alia, zero carbon emissions and biodiversity. It is suggested in the article that the discursive representations of sustainability “lifelong learning” and “digital sustainability” are indicative of an ELT-specific aspect of the discourse of sustainability that is communicated online by the University of Oxford.
Reflection of Concept Modelling on Student Teachers’ Learning Experiences From a Primary Education Perspective
Authors: Timoštšuk Inge , Lumi Neeme
Published: July 2022

It is important to be able to make better informed decisions about issues such as sustainability and climate change that have both personal and global impact as early as possible in life. Primary teachers have a significant role in supporting students’ learning and understanding of these concepts. One important teaching skill that needs to be improved for understand sustainable development is the creation of meaningful generalizations, including models. Therefore, the learning experiences of pre-service primary teachers (N = 28) in regard to modelling was our focus. The results of our case study indicated concrete and visual modes as most common in student teachers’ experiences and understandings of modelling. The symbolic mode is less in evidence and an understanding of gestural and verbal models is rather unambiguous. Thus, we see a need and the potential to improve teaching and learning experiences in teacher education about the modelling of complex concepts.

Published: July 2022

The present study aimed at exploring the challenges faced by Jordanian parents and ways of support they provided to their children during online classes at the time of COVID-19 pandemic. It also aimed at investigating the difference between parental engagement in online education and two variables (i.e., school type and level of education). The researcher designed a questionnaire to collect the data from 181 Jordanian parents who were engaged in online education during the pandemic. The questionnaire consisted of 22 items, 15 items asked about challenges, and 7 items were related to parents’ support to their children. The results of this study revealed that parents reported pedagogical, personal, technical, and financial challenges during the pandemic. They also reported some ways of support to their children such as providing additional digital devices, explaining and completing new worksheets and assignments, and checking new required worksheets and assignments. The study provided some implications based on the obtained results.
Novel insights into alcoholic liver disease: Iron overload, iron sensing and hemolysis
Authors: Mueller Sebastian , Chen Cheng , Mueller Johannes , Wang Shijin
Published: July 2022

The liver is the major target organ of continued alcohol consumption at risk and resulting alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is the most common liver disease worldwide. The underlying molecular mechanisms are still poorly understood despite decades of scientific effort limiting our abilities to identify those individuals who are at risk to develop the disease, to develop appropriate screening strategies and, in addition, to develop targeted therapeutic approaches. ALD is predestined for the newly evolving translational medicine, as conventional clinical and health care structures seem to be constrained to fully appreciate this disease. This concept paper aims at summarizing the 15 years translational experience at the Center of Alcohol Research in Heidelberg, namely based on the long-term prospective and detailed characterization of heavy drinkers with mortality data. In addition, novel experimental findings will be presented. A special focus will be the long-known hepatic iron accumulation, the somewhat overlooked role of the hematopoietic system and novel insights into iron sensing and the role of hepcidin. Our preliminary work indicates that enhanced red blood cell (RBC) turnover is critical for survival in ALD patients. RBC turnover is not primarily due to vitamin deficiency but rather to ethanol toxicity directly targeted to erythrocytes but also to the bone marrow stem cell compartment. These novel insights also help to explain long-known aspects of ALD such as mean corpuscular volume of erythrocytes (MCV) and elevated aspartate transaminase (GOT/AST) levels. This work also aims at identifying future projects, naming unresolved observations, and presenting novel hypothetical concepts still requiring future validation.
Pan-cancer landscape of the RUNX protein family reveals their potential as carcinogenic biomarkers and the mechanisms underlying their action
Authors: Pan Shen , Sun Siyu , Liu Bitian , Hou Yang
Published: July 2022

Background

The RUNX family of transcription factors plays an important regulatory role in tumor development. Although the importance of RUNX in certain cancer types is well known, the pan-cancer landscape remains unclear.

Materials and Methods

Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) provides a pan-cancer overview of the RUNX genes. Hence, herein, we performed a pan-cancer analysis of abnormal RUNX expression and deciphered the potential regulatory mechanism. Specifically, we used TCGA multi-omics data combined with multiple online tools to analyze transcripts, genetic alterations, DNA methylation, clinical prognoses, miRNA networks, and potential target genes.

Results

RUNX genes are consistently overexpressed in esophageal, gastric, pancreatic, and pan-renal cancers. The total protein expression of RUNX1 in lung adenocarcinoma, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), and uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (UCEC) is consistent with the mRNA expression results. Moreover, increased phosphorylation on the T14 and T18 residues of RUNX1 may represent potential pathogenic factors. The RUNX genes are significantly associated with survival in pan-renal cancer, brain lower-grade glioma, and uveal melanoma. Meanwhile, various mutations and posttranscriptional changes, including the RUNX1 D96 mutation in invasive breast carcinoma, the co-occurrence of RUNX gene mutations in UCEC, and methylation changes in the RUNX2 promoter in KIRC, may be associated with cancer development. Finally, analysis of epigenetic regulator co-expression, miRNA networks, and target genes revealed the carcinogenicity, abnormal expression, and direct regulation of RUNX genes.

Conclusions

We successfully analyzed the pan-cancer abnormal expression and prognostic value of RUNX genes, thereby providing potential biomarkers for various cancers. Further, mutations revealed via genetic alteration analysis may serve as a basis for personalized patient therapies.
Parallels of human language in the behavior of bottlenose dolphins
Authors: Ferrer-i-Cancho Ramon , Lusseau David , McCowan Brenda
Published: July 2022

Dolphins exhibit striking similarities with humans. Here we review them with the help of quantitative linguistics and information theory. Various statistical laws of language that are well-known in quantitative linguistics, i.e. Zipf’s law for word frequencies, the law of meaning distribution, the law of abbreviation and Menzerath’s, law have been found in dolphin vocal or gestural behavior. The information theory of these laws suggests that humans and dolphins share cost-cutting principles of organization.
The Role of Philosophy of Science in Quantitative Linguistics
Authors: Zámečník Lukáš
Published: July 2022

The paper aims to evaluate the role of the philosophy of science in contemporary quanti-tative linguistics. The primary goal is the reflection of the scientific methods and models of scientific explanations (Köhler 1986, 2012) used in quantitative linguistics. The paper shows that the current philosophy of science has adopted some new approaches to ex-planation that are conducive to quantitative linguistics (Craver, Darden 2013, Eck, Mennes 2016). Above all, the philosophy of science offers new models of non-causal explanations (Reutlinger, Saatsi 2018; Lange 2017). The paper’s primary goal is to propose a new topo-logical model of explanation in system-theoretical linguistics, following Kostić’s (2019a) and Huneman’s (2018) approaches. This model of explanation overcomes various difficul-ties of functional explanation, such as the nature of the structural axiom and the func-tional equivalents. Simultaneously, it establishes a non-causal form of linguistic explana-tion which builds on the previous analysis of quantitative linguists (Andres 2009; Ferrer-i-Cancho, Solé 2003; Hřebíček 2002).

The present commentary addresses cybersemiotics, a transdisciplinary theory of communication, signification, information, and cognition which is based on the work of Danish scholar Søren Brier. Cybersemiotics is a metatheory that encompasses the research programs of information theory, first and second-order cybernetics, Luhmann’s systems theory, cognitive sciences, Peircean biosemiotics, pragmatic linguistics, and language game theory. I will explore some of these theoretical frameworks and how cybersemiotics integrates them.
‘Oh, semiotics? Umberto Eco and stuff like that?’ Telling and constructing a discourse of marginality
Authors: Herrera Eduardo Chávez
Published: July 2022

The current status of semiotics in society and the academic environment is rather marginal, and this is one of its many paradoxes (Gaines 2015). It is paradoxical because semiotics deals with all aspects of meaning; it is relevant to every field of inquiry (Posner et al. 2003) and is applicable to everyday experiences producing meaning. Yet, it is not an established field in most academic systems, and it lacks full recognition in the disciplinary ‘market’ (Rastier 2001). This paper discusses a particular aspect coming from a larger study carried out with 40 semiotics scholars in 12 countries in 3 languages (English, French and Spanish). I will focus on the construction and development of a prevailing discourse that intends to convey the practitioners’ own subjective experiences of living and working in a marginalised field.

Simulation of Spatially Variable Artificial Earthquake: A Case Study of Different Site Conditions
Authors: Derbal Rachid , Benmansour Nassima , Djafour Mustapha
Published: July 2022

The dynamic analysis of structures under seismic ground motions is a major issue in earthquake engineering. The seismic ground motions observed at the surface are variables in space and time. The main causes of this variability come from seismic waves propagation between the source and the site, and in particular the local geological site conditions. For this purpose, it is essential to consider all these factors of the spatial variability of seismic ground motion when representing seismic loading to be applied to any structure. Given the scarcity of real seismic records, many researchers suggest the use of artificial or synthetic seismic motions. The main objective of this study is the simulation of spatially variable artificial seismic motions by considering all fact of factors of the seismic spatial variability, especially site local conditions. In this sense, a simulation technique of spatially variable seismic motions is developed using the spectral representation method. By adopting the unconditional simulation approach, the target seismic motion in bedrock is defined by the Clough-Penzien spectral model and a specified coherency loss model. Then, the simulated ground motions in the bedrock are projected on the surface by considering amplification site effect. The results showed that the simulated artificial seismic motions are strongly conditioned by the local site conditions.

How tax policies create unexpected results when interest rates are low: A case study of Finnish housing company debt and private investor return1
Authors: Paukku Eelis
Published: July 2022

Finnish limited liability housing companies (LLHCs) are increasing their debt ratios quickly. In this paper, I argue that current tax rules encourage this behaviour owing to strong shareholder tax incentives for a higher debt ratio. Although tax rules are designed to be neutral, Finnish tax rules related to selling assets are profitable for LLHC shareowners in cases where debt rates are high owing to taxable profits being based not on actual acquisition costs but on presumed acquisition costs derived from the selling price. Both tax deductibility of LLHC financial charges and the presumed acquisition cost rule are from a time when interests and inflation were higher than they currently are. Both of these were used to counter the adverse effects of inflation and interest for asset owners and LLHC shareholders. Currently, when inflation and interest rates are close to zero, these rules have created an incentive for a behaviour that increases risks for the whole economy and reduces tax income.
Trends of avian locomotion in water – an overview of swimming styles
Authors: Segesdi Martin , Pecsics Tibor
Published: July 2022

Adaptation to an aquatic lifestyle occurred in the evolution of several primarily terrestrial clades of tetrapods. Among these lineages, aquatic birds’ adaptations differ in many ways from other secondarily aquatic vertebrates. As a consequence of the evolution of flight, birds with swimming and diving abilities represent unique locomotion skills and complex anatomical solutions. Here we attempt to overview some of the main aspects of avian locomotion in water and highlight the diversity of their aquatic habits and locomotion types, with the best-known extinct and extant examples. The main features that can distinguish the different groups among these swimmers and divers are their different techniques to overcome buoyancy, the transformation of wings or hind limbs into aquatic propulsive organs, and their swimming techniques besides the presence or absence of the flying and/or terrestrial abilities. Understanding how the musculoskeletal system of aquatic birds evolved to face the requirements of moving in various environments with different physical characteristics provides a good opportunity to get a better view of convergent and divergent evolution.
The current status of Chukar (Alectoris chukar J. E. Gray, 1830) in Armenia
Authors: Aghababyan Karen , Aebischer Nicholas J. , Baloyan Sevak
Published: July 2022

The Chukar Alectoris chukar is one of the most popular game birds of Armenia, but there is no governmental monitoring programme for that exploited species. We carried out national surveys in 2003–2019 and estimate the current occupied range of the Chukar in Armenia as 5,082 km2 (17% of the country). In 2019, we estimate Chukar population size at 12,472 breeding pairs (95% CL: 10,266–14,677). Its population trend shows a moderate decline underlying strong annual fluctuations. In Armenia, the Chukar occurs on 20 public hunting lands covering 2,414 km2 in total. Its abundance on these public hunting lands is estimated to 5,558 breeding pairs in 2019 (95% CL: 3,656–7,460). Surveys of the seven Hunters’ Unions of Armenia found that there are 10,000 to 20,000 active hunters. The number of hunting permits issued annually increased ten-fold between 2016 and 2019, exceeding the capacity of the public hunting lands in 2019. A hunter survey found that each Chukar hunter shot on average (± SD) 5.88±3.05 birds in the 2018/19 season, which extrapolates to 17,052–34,104 shot specimens of Chukar (at least 46% of autumn numbers). Current hunting management practice is thus unsustainable and we provide recommendations for sustainable approaches that should replace it urgently.

Published: July 2022

The concern that population decline in wild species may lead to disruptions in the ecosystems has triggered numerous ecological studies across the globe. Therefore, monitoring biodiversity plays a key role in identifying priority species for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation measures. Ibisbill (Ibidorhyncha struthersii) is a habitat-specialist wader inhabiting high-altitude river rapids with cobbles, boulders and moderate flow of water in Asia. This study aimed to empirically assess the conservation and threat status of Ibisbill in the Kashmir Himalayan region (NW India). The species qualified as Endangered in the study region according to criterion B2 (area of occupancy < 500 km2) of the IUCN Red List categories and criteria. Moreover, six priority sites for the conservation of Ibisbill were identified during extended field surveys in River Sindh, Kashmir, NW India. Threats faced by the Ibisbill along the priority sites were also recorded. Out of six sites, mining, livestock grazing and vehicle movement was observed at three sites, human interference including tourism activity at five sites and predation was observed at four sites. The results of this study suggest several conservation recommendations which need to be implemented to ensure the long-term persistence of the species.

Published: July 2022

Vultures are among nature’s most successful scavengers, providing tractable models for ecological, economic, and cultural studies. Asian vultures have undergone dramatic declines of 90–99% in the subcontinent due to consequences of poisoning drugs, thereby being at a high risk of extinction. In Pakistan, surveys conducted previously focused mostly the cause of decline and breeding strategies only. Genetic profiling of vultures was still unmapped that could play a particular role in conservation endeavors and let researchers to genetically label individuals of threatened or endangered species. In this study, we examined genetic diversity and molecular phylogeny of Oriental White-backed Vultures by analyzing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Genetic polymorphism was detected among individuals, and, on that basis, phylogenetic analysis was conducted through Bayesian analysis of DNA sequences using MCMC. Using multiple sequence alignment, two mutations, transversion T>G and transition G>A, were observed at nucleotide positions 1 and 2, respectively. Similarly, T/C heterozygosity at two positions, 53 and 110, and one heterozygous T/G locus at 130 position were also observed. The reference sequence, along with other samples of V1, V6, V7 and V9, was placed into a clade, while V2, V5, V11, V3, V4 and V10 samples were grouped into a two clade.

The Coercion–Extraction Cycle and the Paradox of Stability
Authors: Perlikowski Lukasz , Bates Clifford Angel
Published: July 2022

Our paper revisits the work of Samuel Finer and David Easton in order to establish a firmer grasp on the problem of political stability within a given state or regime. We suggest that Finer’s approach to the problem of coercion–extraction is not wholly incompatible with Easton’s political system approach (as modified by Gabriel Almond). By combining what Finer and Easton (as understood through Almond) offer, we construct a framework that allows us to better understand political stability. The model we construct offers current researchers exploring the workings of political stability a useful tool to study and focus on the various dynamics that drive the stability of any given political system.
Beyond Advising: The Representative Role of Advisory Councils (The Case of Polish Cities)
Authors: Pawłowska Agnieszka
Published: July 2022

Advisory councils (ACs) are permanent opinion-giving bodies that are established by public authorities. Their members are recruited from among residents, local officials, and members of NGOs. The author argues that, apart from their opinion-giving function, ACs perform the role of citizen representatives. The research was based on the survey of AC members. Its results were analyzed by a theoretical framework informed by representation theory. It has been documented that the representation is significantly related to the AC type, and that the decisive factor of disparity between ACs is their mandatory vs. optional creation. The study also shows that there is strong relationship between the formal and substantial representation of AC members. However, mixed AC audience undermines traditional links of authorization and accountability, which calls for the reconsideration of the theoretical framework of studies on AC representation.
Are You in the Network? The Impact of Co-Creation on the Network of Participants
Authors: Ladancsik Tibor , Maszlag Fanni
Published: July 2022

At present, local communities are increasingly confronted with problems that do not have simple solutions. To tackle them, complex responses are needed. One such problem is found in the question of who shall be responsible for stabilising the economic situation of people living in small villages? Is it the individual, who should be able to effectively manage his or her own farm, or is it the state, which is liable for creating a better economic environment? Is it the market, since it is the space for economic activities? Is it the municipality that is responsible for the well-being of the citizens living in the villages? Is it NGOs, because of their social responsibility? Boundaries have been blurred, making functions, goals, and responsibilities more complex. The aim of the H2020 CoSIE project is to revive the forgotten culture of farming, horticulture, and animal husbandry in 10 disadvantaged rural settlements in Hungary and, thus, to develop a new service model. The data presented are collected in two consecutive questionnaire surveys. The first took place in September 2019 and the second in January 2020, involving 72 households. Between the two surveys, the agricultural tools of the respondents developed remarkably and there were also significant changes in the network of the participants. Project participants regarded the change in their attitude as one of the most positive outcomes, as they became much more open to new things. The highest proportion of respondents reported an improvement in their relationships with locals. Joint communication has improved to a similar extent because there are more frequently spontaneous meetings than before the start of the project.
The Policy of Supporting Students with Disabilities At Higher Education Institutions in Poland — The Example of the University of Wrocław University and Wrocław University of Technology
Authors: Zielińska Marcelina
Published: July 2022

Students with disabilities are an important group in the academic community who should be provided with appropriate support by higher education institutions (HEIs) from the recruitment stage through education to participation in academic activities. The aim of this article is to analyse the support system for students with disabilities at universities in Poland, in the context of good practices model implementation, based on the examples of the University of Wrocław and Wrocław University of Technology. The paper uses formal-legal analysis, sources analysis and uses quantitative data for a comparative sake. The article answers the following research questions: 1. What are the legal regulations for supporting students with disabilities? 2. How do higher education institutions regulate support for students with disabilities? 3. How do higher education institutions in Poland implement inclusive education? 4. How and at what level do higher education institutions implement the good practice model? 5. Do students with disabilities receive the support they request? 6. Does the implementation of the model of good practices help to increase the accessibility of higher education institutions? As a result, an evaluation of the implementation of support at the University of Wrocław and Wrocław University of Technology was developed. Strengths and weaknesses of the support off ered were identified and the level of support for students with disabilities was assessed based on the model of good practices. In conclusion, both the University of Wrocław and the Wrocław University of Technology have implemented a model of good practice in supporting students with disabilities. However, there is a need to extend the range of forms of support and to intensify some of the forms of support implemented so far.

Published: July 2022

Animal husbandry is an activity of breeding and rearing carried out with a cage or a loose system. Loose livestock systems are commonly found in the Nusa Tenggara region, and some areas in Bali. This type of farm is difficult to monitor so it is vulnerable to theft. In addition to the possibility of theft, this livestock grazing system also has many other risks, one of which is the loss of cows either because they are lost or trapped in some places. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a tracking device that is able to monitor the presence of these livestock. This research aims to implement internet of things (IoT) for monitoring livestock or pets using GPS, NodeMCU ESP 8266, Firebase and Kodular. Data in the form of latitude and longitude values obtained by the GPS module will be sent to Firebase via a WiFi network. That data is then displayed in the Kodular application in latitude, longitude coordinates, and markers on maps. In addition, this tracking device that can be worn around the neck of the animal is equipped with an LED light that aims to monitor the position of livestock at night so that the position of them can be seen when it is dark.

Penggabungan dua jenis UAV ini memerlukan sistem kendali yang mampu menstabilkan perpindahan dari mode fixed-wing ke mode rotary-wing maupun sebaliknya. Terjadi disorientasi sikap berupa penurunan ketinggian disebabkan overshoot. oleh karena itu, kendali membutuhkan banyak parameter masukan. Metode kendali Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) salah satu metode kendali yang mampu menghasilkan kesalahan minimum dan mampu menangani banyak parameter masukan. Sistem kendali LQR menghasilkan respon kendali dengan nilai rise time sesuai kebutuhan. Kendali LQR telah memenuhi spesifikasi dari kebutuhan wahana VTOL-plane dalam menangani kesalahan minimum. Terjadinya disorientasi sikap disebabkan overshoot, serta penanganan sistem kendali yang hanya mampu menangani sedikit masukan dan keluaran pada wahana VTOL-plane.

Intisari— Penelitian di bidang mikrobiologi terutama bakteri seringkali berpatokan pada penentuan jumlah koloni atau Colony Forming Units (CFUs) yang akurat[1]. Untuk mengetahui pertumbuhan suatu bakteri dapat dilakukan dengan menghitung jumlah koloni bakteri. Hal ini biasanya dilakukan secara manual dengan metode hitung cawan. Penghitungan koloni dengan metode hitung cawan dapat dibantu dengan alat yang disebut dengan colony counter. Cara kerja alat ini adalah menandai koloni yang dihitung dengan pen yang terhubung dengan counter. Setiap koloni yang ditandai, akan terhitung secara otomatis. Namun hal ini juga bisa mengakibatkan kesalahan karena ukuran koloni yang relatif kecil dan jumlah koloni yang dihitung relatif banyak, sehingga akan muncul permasalahan yang sama dengan perhitungan koloni dengan cara manual. Teknologi pengolahan citra digital telah banyak dikembangkan untuk membuat aplikasi dalam berbagai bidang, salah satunya adalah pemanfaatan teknologi citra digital dalam bidang biologi untuk analisis citra. Sebelumnya peneliti telah melakukan penelitian serupa yang bertujuan untuk menghitung koloni bakteri dan menghasilkan akurasi sebesar 94% dan peneliti menemukan bahwa beberapa koloni tidak terdeteksi karena terfilter saat preprocessing, sehingga peneliti melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut mengenai preprocessing
