SOCIALIZATION OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF KERSEN LEAF EXTRACT (Muntingia calabura L) AGAINST BACTERIA Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: Kartika Dewi , Syarifuddin Shopian
Published: November 2023

Kersen (Muntingia calabura) is a shady plant that is usually used as a shade. Cherry leaves contain several secondary metabolites such as flavonoid, tannin and terpenoid. Flavonoid can inhibit bacterial growth by denaturing proteins and damaging cell membranes and dissolving fats contained in cell walls. According to the World Health Organization as many as 25 million deaths worldwide in 2011, one third were caused by infectious diseases. One of the most common infectious diseases caused by the bacterium Staphyloccus aureus. This socialization aims to provide information to the public about the antibacterial ability of kersen leaves against staphylococus aureus.  The concentration of the extract used was 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% and erythromycin as a positive control. From the test results, it can be concluded that the largest inhibition zone diameter is at a concentration of 60% with an inhibition zone diameter of 6.78 mm and the smallest at a concentration of 30%, which is 0.42 mm. Concentration of 45% has (weak) activity inhibiting bacterial growth with an inhibition zone of 2.13 mm, while at a concentration of 15% it has no activity in the inhibition zone of bacterial growth
The effect of marine environment on the mechanical performance
of Dacron sailcloth
Authors: CEYLAN İBRAHIM , NEŞER GÖKDENİZ , BOZDOĞAN FARUK
Published: November 2023

The usage of sails is increasing parallel to the sustainability initiatives in marine transportation not only for recreational
craft but also for large vessels carrying commercial goods and passengers. In this study, the marine environmental
degradation of the sailcloth which significantly shortens the lifetime of these materials was investigated experimentally.
Dacrons, which are relatively cheap, easy to form, and resistant to breakdown, but problematic to keeping their original
shape while subjected to wind loads, were selected as the sailcloth. The combined effect of seawater exposure,
temperature, UV, wet-dry cycle, water repellent treatment on the Dacron’s mechanical performance was measured by
tensile tests performed for the Dacron specimens with nine different areal weights and in two different fibre directions
(warp and weft) and by dynamical mechanical analysis for a representative Dacron sailcloth. The comparative results
show that the marine environment has significant degradation effects on the mechanical performance of sailcloths.
Decoding the fashion trend of sports shoes with empowered computer vision
Authors: LU QIAN , LI JINGJING , LIN ZISENG , ZHOU JIN
Published: November 2023

To adapt to the rapidly changing market and capricious trends, fashion brands need to understand trends and market
conditions precisely and fast to produce marketable products. The traditional fashion trend analysis has relied heavily
on the subjective judgement of experts, inevitably leading to biased decisions and is time-consuming. The development
of computer vision and machine learning provides an objective and systematic approach to processing images and
analysis of fashion products. However, most studies focus on clothing trends analysis, few are on shoe trends analysis.
Hence, this study aimed to decode and analyse the fashion trend of sports shoes with empowered computer vision
technology. In this paper, a dataset containing e-commerce images of sports shoes with precise annotations was
established; then Mask-RCNN was utilized to classify and extract the shoe from the background image; a modified
version of the K-means clustering algorithm was employed to detect the shoe colour. The results indicated that
fashionable sports shoes and casual sports shoes were the most prevalent two styles. Besides neutral tones, yellow,
red ochre and reddish orange were popular in casual sports shoes, fashion sports shoes and basketball shoes
respectively and Atlantic Blue in board shoes and trainers. This study demonstrated the promising potential of computer
vision and machine learning as a new method to analyse footwear fashion trends efficiently and economically.
Problematika Hak Asuh Anak Pasca Putusan Perceraian di Pengadilan Agama (Studi Kasus Nomor 342/PDT.G/2020/PA.MTP Jo Putusan Banding Nomor 32/PDT.G/2020/PTA.BJM Jo Putusan Kasasi Nomor 392 K/AG/2021)

Published: November 2023

Artikel ini bertujuan mengetahui problematika eksekusi putusan hak asuh anak dalam putusan perceraian di pengadilan agama. Anak adalah korban dalam perceraian kedua orang tuanya termasuk dalam menikmati kecukupan kebutuhan pendidikan, kesehatan, pangan dan kasih sayang. Dalam Pasal 105 menyatakan bahwa dalam hal terjadi perceraian maka anak yang belum mumayyiz atau belum berumur 12 tahun adalah hak ibunya, sedangkan apabila anak tersebut sudah mumayiz maka anak tersebut berhak memilih, dan biaya pemeliharaan ditanggung oleh ayahnya. Hal ini menyebabkan sering terjadinya problematika di lapangan manakala putusan hak asuh anak diputuskan kepada ibunya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian hukum normatif yang bersifat preskriptif. Pendekatan penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan pendekatan kasus (case approach). Teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum dengan studi dokumen atau bahan pustaka. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa ada problematika eksekusi anak yaitu: 1) anak yang belum mumayiz tersebut sudah dekat dengan ayah dan keluarganya, 2) anak tersebut dipindahkan dari lokasi tempat tinggal ayah, sehingga harus melibatkan banyak pihak untuk melacaknya, 3) ibu yang mendapatkan hak asuh anak tersebut kurang melakukan pendekatan secara personal kepada anak, 4) pihak lawan (eks suami) menghalang-halangi proses eksekusi tersebut dengan melakukan perlawanan. Saran dari penelitian ini adalah dengan menerapkan join custody atau shared parenting dalam kehidupan anak pasca perceraian kedua orang tuanya.

Analysis Using Simulations of Predictive Control Algorithms Applied to the Matrix Converter
Authors: Rony MA , Rana MH , Uddin MN
Published: November 2023

In this final work, a model-based predictive control strategy is proposed for three-phase matrix converter (MC) in order to control the power delivered to the balanced/linear loads for distributed generation applications. The discrete-time model of the MC, filter and load are used to predict the future behavior of the load currents for each of the possible switching states. The proposed predictive current method chooses, on one hand, a switching state that minimizes the error between the output currents and their references, and on the other hand, the reactive power output and his reference. The feasibility of the proposed method is verified through simulation results, evaluating these results using as a performance parameter the total harmonic distortion. These results validate the dynamic performance and efficiency of the proposed method.

Published: November 2023

Background:Lichen Planus (LP) is a chronic mucocutaneous inflammatory disease that predominantly affects the oral mucosa, with a female predilection. The oral lesions are characterized by burning and pain which relentlessly affect the patient’s quality of life. The available treatment approaches for OLP documented to have a short term effect with potential adverse effects which further increases the demand of a novel therapeutic approach for the severe resistant lesions of OLP with a malignant potential. This double-blind, split-mouth randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of intralesional Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma and corticosteroid for the management of resistant OLP.Materials and methods: 28 clinically and histopathologically confirmed cases of resistant OLP were included with total 56 lesion sites divided into two groups of 28 each, in group 1 intralesional PRP and in group 2 intrealesional steroid was given. The injections were repeated for consecutive 4 weeks and then kept on regular followup. Parameters recorded on every visit were according to the Modified Escuider Index.Results: A statistically significant reduction in the lesion activity scores was found amongst the group treated with Platelet Rich Plasma as compared to the group treated with intralesional steroids.Conclusion: The use of intralesional PRP in resistant cases of OLP
Mathematisch begabte Kinder im Übergang von der Kita in die Grundschule. Theoretische Grundlegung und empirische Untersuchungen zur Rekonstruktion von Gelingensbedingungen
Authors: Strübbe Franziska
Published: November 2023

Bereits vor Schulbeginn sind viele Kinder von mathematischen Themen fasziniert. Mitunter zeigen sie dabei ihre außergewöhnlichen Potenziale. Um individuellen Potenzialentfaltungen im Übergang von der Kita in die Grundschule den Weg zu ebnen, sind wesentliche Gelingensbedingungen unabdingbar, sodass individuell hoch ausgeprägte mathematische Potenziale sowohl frühzeitig erkannt, als auch kontinuierlich und angemessen gefördert werden können. Insofern zielt die Arbeit mit der vorgenommenen Schnittstellenbetrachtung zwischen den Komplexen »mathematische Begabungen« und »Transitionsphänomenen« auf äußerst vielschichtige interdisziplinäre Forschungsfelder, um Möglichkeiten individueller Diagnostik und Förderung in Lernhistorien tiefergehend zu beleuchten. Die vorliegende Arbeit basiert auf interdisziplinär-ganzheitlichen Literaturanalysen zu »mathematischen Begabungen« und »Transitionsprozessen« (speziell zum Übergang Kita-Grundschule) sowie zum Zusammenwirken beider Themenkomplexe. Darauf aufbauend werden qualitative Untersuchungen zu Transitionsverläufen mathematisch begabter Kinder präsentiert. Die Auswertung der erhobenen Interviewdaten von Kindern, Eltern, Erzieherinnen und Lehrer:innen erfolgte in Anlehnung an die metatheoretische Rahmung des Forschungsprojekts anhand der dokumentarischen Methode. Im Ergebnis konnten vier sinngenetische Typen gebildet sowie sechs wesentliche Gelingensbedingungen eines begabungsfördernden Übergangs (individuelle Anpassungsleistungen, positives Balanceerleben, vertrauensvolle Bindungsarbeit, Vielfalt mathematischen Tätigseins, begabungsfördernde Lernarchitektur und kooperative Übergangskultur) abgeleitet werden. Aus den empirischen Untersuchungen wurden Schlussfolgerungen für die Gestaltung gelungener Übergangsprozesse im Sinne von praxeologischen Konsequenzen für die Förderung mathematisch begabter Kinder im Übergang von der Kita in die Grundschule sowie Vorschläge für eine den Übergang Kita-Grundschule sensibilisierende Lehrer:innenbildung abgeleitet.
THE SCIENTIST-PRACTITIONER AND THE SCHOLAR-PRACTITIONER MODELS IN PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Drugas Marius
Published: November 2023

Literature and personal experience identify a gap between researchers and practitioners in the field of psychology. At least two models are trying to explain how training programs for future psychologists should integrate science and practice. The scientist-practitioner model often emphasizes research and aims to develop scientific, critical thinking, with results being published in international journals. It is mainly criticized by practitioners for offering statistical solutions and neglecting particular cases or contexts. The scholar practitioner model provides opportunities for students whose career purposes are focused on professional practice and focuses on the development of skills that can be used in the relations with clients. It is mainly criticized for neglecting recent knowledge obtained through advanced research and favoring personal experience and insight instead. However, many aspects of practice are scientifically defensible, and many scientific results can improve practice in psychology. Good science and good practice should go hand to hand, but an exact evaluation of the percentage of science vs. practice in our daily activities would be forced and artificial.
L’insularité comme paradigme de diversité culturelle ? Réflexions sur la construction littéraire d’une Méditerranée en fragments
Authors: Izzo Sara
Published: November 2023

Cet article propose une analyse de trois textes littéraires dans lesquels la Méditerranée est conçue comme un espace insulaire fragmenté : « La Méditerranée en fragments » (2000) de Jean-Claude Izzo, Les îles (1933) de Jean Grenier et Hector Servadac (1877) de Jules Verne. Dans cette perspective diachronique, on peut constater que l’insularité est associée à différentes sémantiques spatiales, qui sont à leur tour l’expression d’une topographie culturelle de la Méditerranée. D’un point de vue théorique, nous nous appuyons sur le concept topologique d’Ottmar Ette, qui fait la distinction entre “île-monde” et “monde d’îles”. C’est à travers l’optique de ces deux notions qu’on observera une évolution de la construction littéraire de la Méditerranée qui subit une lente archipélisation, sans que l’insularité soit automatiquement synonyme de diversité culturelle en Méditerranée.

Peri-anal infiltration versus caudal block for multimodal analgesia in paediatric patients with Hirschsprung's disease undergoing transanal endorectal pull-through procedure: A randomised trial
Authors: Nabil Fatma , Rashed Mohamed S. , Takrouney Mohammed H , Ibrahim Ibrahim A , Abdalla Esam , Osman Hany M
Published: November 2023

Background and Aims:

Transanal endorectal pull-through (TERPT) is a standard procedure for managing paediatric patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD). This study aimed to evaluate peri-anal infiltration versus caudal block as a part of multimodal analgesia for paediatric patients with HD undergoing the TERPT procedure.

Methods:

This randomised trial included 60 patients of both genders, aged 6 to 18 months who underwent the TERPT procedure under general anaesthesia. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either peri-anal infiltration or caudal block with 1 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25% and dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg in 0.5 ml normal saline. The primary outcome was the time to the first rescue analgesia. The secondary outcomes were the total consumption, the frequency of nalbuphine administration as rescue analgesia within 24 hours and the level of postoperative sedation.

Results:

The time to first rescue analgesia was significantly shorter in the peri-anal infiltration group versus the caudal block group (median [interquartile range] 10 [7.5–12.5] h versus 16 [13.5–18.5] h, respectively, P = 0.008). The frequency of administration and the total dose of nalbuphine was significantly higher in the peri-anal infiltration group (P = 0.003 and 0.013, respectively). The sedation score was significantly higher in the caudal block group postoperatively.

Conclusion:

For paediatric patients undergoing the TERPT procedure, peri-anal infiltration was less effective than caudal block in terms of the duration of postoperative analgesia. However, both techniques were comparable during the first 6 hours postoperatively.

A Study on Secured Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Fog Computing
Networks
Authors: Gupta Akshita , Gupta Sachin Kumar
Published: November 2023

With the recent advancement in technologies, researchers worldwide have a growing
interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The last few years have been
significant in terms of its global awareness, adoption, and applications across
industries. In UAV-aided wireless networks, there are some limitations in terms
of power consumption, data computation, data processing, endurance, and
security. So, the idea of UAVs and Edge or Fog computing together deals with the
limitations and provides intelligence at the network’s edge, which makes it more
valuable to use in emergency applications. Fog computing distributes data in a
decentralized way and blockchain also works on the principle of
decentralization. Blockchain, as a decentralized database, uses cryptographic
methods including hash functions and public key encryption to secure the user
information. It is a prominent solution to secure the user’s information in
blocks and maintain privacy. The ongoing development in collaborative UAVs and
fog computing networks had put further a major challenge of security that need
to be investigated. This article presents a study on security attacks and
requirements needed to ensure security in UAV-based fog networks. We provide
blockchain security in UAV-based fog computing to secure a large volume of data.
The communicated data is stored in the form of blocks with hash functions, which
guarantee security in the network. Thus, the aim of blockchain security is to
guarantee that any hostile third party cannot corrupt or change the live
missions or tasks allocated to actual UAV–Fog nodes.
Carbon Farming and Its Impact on Agricultural
Technology
Authors: Lehmann Johannes , Dwerlkotte Nina
Published: November 2023

The agricultural sector is responsible for a large share of anthropogenic
greenhouse gases. At the same time, methods such as targeted land use change can
reduce emissions from landscape elements and sequester carbon from the
atmosphere in the soil. This process, also known as carbon farming, has not been
uniformly defined, and faces challenges regarding establishing new requirments
for agricultural vehicles and technology, creating profitable business models
(that preclude “greenwashing”), and developing governmental frameworks and
industry acceptance.

Carbon Farming and Its Impact on Agricultural Technology discusses
the large development gap for carbon farming methods, especially with regard to
agricultural technology. In addition to the new hardware requirements arising
from land use change, there is also a need for the further development of
software. The establishment of suitable interfaces and solutions that are
interoperable with existing technologies is also crucial at this point. This
report clearly shows that more funding for research and development is needed
today so that appropriate standards can be set and carbon farming can contribute
to climate protection in the future.

Authors: VO TAN CHAU  , TRAN DANG LONG  , HUYNH BA VANG  , DUONG HOANG LONG  , NGUYEN HUU HUONG
Published: November 2023

The combustion process in the internal combustion engine is realized as the core of the engine's power and exhaust emission formation. This paper describes the design of a constant volume combustion chamber (CVCC) to simulate the combustion process of the diesel engine with the optical approach technique. The technical design standards of the chamber were based on the actual conditions of diesel engines with a compression ratio of 16 to 28 and an injection profile with a fuel pressure varying between 400 and 1600 bar. The system included 2 quartz crystal windows that allow observing the entire process of fuel injection and combustion taking place inside the chamber. The structural strength analysis of the design under simulating pressure was carried out by ANSYS software. The results revealed that the chamber met durable standards with each type of material based on design criteria with a pressure of 200 bar selected as the ambient pressure inside the chamber.
ENGINEERING STUDENTS’ SELF-EFFICACY IN HIGHER EDUCATION: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: NGA THI TUYET PHAN  , SHIH-HSIEN CHANG  , CHENG-HU CHEN
Published: November 2023

Using the Systematic Quantitative Literature Review method, this paper reviewed the literature related to engineering students’ self-efficacy in higher education from 2010 to 2020 to evaluate the existing research and suggest directions for future work. One hundred and thirty-five articles were selected for the review of the most popular research topics and four patterns of the distribution of studies, namely countries, methods, and study samples. The most popular research topics worldwide were learning performance and self-efficacy, self-efficacy and gender/race, preservice teachers’ self-efficacy, and self-efficacy and entrepreneurship. Few articles investigated engineering students’ self-efficacy in English language learning, online learning, or E-learning in the last decade. Most reviewed studies were either conducted in the USA or high-income countries and administered in single research settings. Quantitative methods outnumbered qualitative or mixed-method research.  Undergraduates were the most researched participants, followed by a mix of graduates and postgraduates. The review includes only articles but not presentation papers, dissertations, and book chapters, thereby reducing the coverage of the existing research on engineering students’ self-efficacy in higher education.
O saber geográfico e a construção de conhecimento a partir da realidade dos estudantes
Authors: Lopes Maria Rita Casto
Published: November 2023

A proposta de Trabalho Colaborativo Autoral (TCA) surgiu em 2013, na prefeitura municipal de São Paulo. Ela se fundamenta em uma prática dialógica (FREIRE, 2001) e interdisciplinar de construção de conhecimentos a partir da experiência e da realidade do estudante. O objetivo do texto é compreender a relevância do TCA, realizado nas unidades da SME-SP, como uma prática pedagógica e política séria, na produção de conhecimentos significativos, sendo relevante diante das atuais imposições curriculares das políticas neoliberais (APPLE, 2006; ARROYO, 2013). Para isso, refletiu-se sobre a relevância do saber geográfico e do método de trabalho de campo sobre essa prática.  E, por fim, compreende-se que o TCA pode ser uma prática que possibilite a construção de conhecimentos mais reflexivos, críticos e criativos sobre a realidade do estudante, além de possibilitar que ele se compreenda enquanto sujeito histórico.

Geographic knowledge and the construction of knowledge from the reality of students:reflections on the proposal of Collaborative Authorial Work in the city of São Paulo
Abstract
The proposal for Trabalho Colaborativo Autoral (TCA) emerged in 2013, at the municipal government of São Paulo. It is based on a dialogic (FREIRE, 2001) and interdisciplinary practice of building knowledge from the student's experience and reality. The objective of the text is to understand the relevance of the ACT, carried out in the SME-SP units, as a serious pedagogical and political practice, in the production of significant knowledge, being relevant in the face of the current curricular impositions of neoliberal policies (APPLE, 2006; ARROYO, 2013). For this, it reflected on the relevance of geographic knowledge and the fieldwork method on this practice. And finally, it is understood that the ACT can be a practice that enables the construction of more reflective, critical and creative knowledge about the student's reality, in addition to enabling him to understand himself as a historical subject.

Published: November 2023

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of a Focused Assessment with Sonography for Injury (FAST) scan in blunt abdominal injury with suspected hollow viscus organ perforation, keeping a computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen as a reference.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study: Radiology Department, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Aug 2017 to Feb 2018.
Methodology: One hundred forty-seven hemodynamically stable patients aged 20-60 years of either gender presenting in the Emergency Department (ED) with clinical suspicion of blunt abdominal injury were included. FAST scan and CT abdomen reporting were done by two separate consultants blinded to each other.
Results: The mean age was 35.84±8.44 years, ranging from 21-60 years. Among 72 FAST-positive patients, 68(46.3%) were true positive, and 4(2.7%) were false positive. Among 75 FAST negative patients, 6(4.1%) were false negative, and 69(46.9%) were true negative. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of FAST compared to CT was 91.89%, 94.52%, 94.44% and 92.00%, respectively; FAST scan was correct in 93.20%.
Conclusions: FAST Ultrasound is a sensitive and specific tool in the screening and diagnosing of abdominal injury resulting from blunt abdominal injury.

Objective: To study the efficacy of per-operative angiogram and Doppler ultrasound as an adjunct to assess the cerebral vessels during intracranial aneurysm clipping surgery.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Neurosurgery, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jan 2020 to Dec 2021.
Methodology: Forty-eight diagnosed cases of subarachnoid haemorrhage secondary to ruptured aneurysm were included. All the patients who were not coiled-able (broad-based, multi-lobed, complex) were operated on (craniotomy and clipping of aneurysm). Intraoperative angiogram and Doppler ultrasound of cerebral vasculature were done in all cases to see the patency of vessels and the position of clips.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 43.97±8.23 years. 24(50.00%) patients had anterior communicating artery aneurysms, 18(37.50%) had middle cerebral artery aneurysms, whereas 6(12.50%) were of an anterior cerebral artery. Craniotomy and clipping of aneurysm were done in all the cases; among them, 15(31.25%) were operated on early (between 48-96 hrs), whereas 33(68.75%) were operated on after 10-14 days. Per-operatively, cerebral angiogram and Doppler ultrasound were used to assess the cerebral vasculature and position of the clip. About of 5(10.00%) required clip readjustment, 4(8.33%) had parent vessel occlusion, 10(20.83%) required vasodilator therapy due to vasospasm, and 4(8.33%) had residual aneurysm neck. All these were rectified during the same procedure.
Conclusion: Per-operative angiography and Doppler ultrasound are useful adjuncts in aneurysmal brain surgery to prevent complications like cerebral ischemia, recurrence, residual aneurysm and re-bleed.

Published: November 2023

Polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD) can be positively impacted by homeopathic therapy, which is founded on the ideas of individualization and symptom similarity. To address the distinct symptomatology of PCOD patients, Homoeopathy offers gentle, non-invasive treatments including Pulsatilla, Sepia, and Lachesis. These treatments work to normalize menstrual cycles, balance hormones, and lessen ovarian cysts. Homoeopathy is a promising treatment for PCOD management since it has few adverse effects and, when used by trained professionals, improves the well-being of those who are affected.

Authors: Marian Asti , Yerizel Eti , Rif Hudila
Published: November 2023

Hyperglycaemia is a clinical indicator of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with damage to organ systems, such as kidney damage, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels, and even death through oxidative stress processes, resulting in an imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals. One of the plants that contain antioxidants is Moringa Oleifera (MO), MO has been utilized as a food source material. This plant has low toxicity, natural antioxidants, and important bioactive phytochemicals and is an excellent source of alternative natural therapies to synthetic drugs. Exogenous antioxidants in Moringa leaves may have potential as free radical scavengers. Studies published between 2017 and 2023 were systematically reviewed through identification in Research Gate, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases. Studies that met the inclusion criteria were included for review. The results of the literature review of the articles carried out can be concluded that the administration of moringa leaf extract is able to reduce blood sugar levels, reduce MDA levels and increase antioxidants in the body, such as Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px).

Honeyland : entre recueillement et recueil : « chaque atome de silence est la chance d’un fruit mûr »
Authors: TAUVERON Catherine
Published: November 2023

The splendid film Honeyland (2020) is labelled as a documentary but, through its controlled aesthetic effects and the creation of an internal narrative tension, it constructs a dramaturgy to finally deliver what we will call a passion: that of Hatidze, exceptional traditional beekeeper who lives alone in a harsh and desolate land, outside civilization and time, in a world of silence: silence, a mute agreement with the universe, is the mark of the excellence of all activity which works in pure interiority and it is indeed thus, in the harmony of souls, that she lives her relationship with (wild or domesticated) bees, which alone provide musical accompaniment. Driven by a pagan mysticism, respectful of nature and its miraculous gifts, she practices beekeeping as a pantheist ritual. The noisy and destructive arrival of a traveling Turkish family turns her life and her immutable program of action upside down. A poignant story about the end of a world, the film closes, around a shared honeycomb, with a wordless exchange between Hatidze and his dog that resembles an inner prayer.
Avian diversity in the paddy field ecosystem surrounding the Assam University campus in Silchar during the rainy season
Authors: Gogoi Hemanta , Purkayastha Jayaditya , Roychoudhury Shubhadeep
Published: November 2023

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most effective crops for absorbing carbon dioxide. Paddy is a temporary reservoir for rainwater during the rainy season, prevents soil erosion, and emits oxygen through photosynthesis. In Assam, it occupies 88.89 percent of the net cropped area. Paddy field ecosystems are also home to various cultivated and wild species of plants and animals where numerous aquatic and bird species can be found. These fields provide waste rice, a crucial food source for various bird species. The quantity of waste rice positively correlates with rice yields, and birds often feed on freshly planted rice seeds. Paddy fields constitute a semi-aquatic ecosystem that is heavily infested by insect pests. These fields also attract waterfowls, wading birds, shorebirds, and other waterbirds for migratory movements and foraging. From this pilot study conducted in the paddy field ecosystem surrounding the Assam University campus in Silchar we report 95 species of birds that belong to 37 families and 14 orders. Highly sighted avifauna included Egret, Heron, Bittern (family Ardeidae), Waterhen (family Rallidae), Kingfisher (family Alcedinidae), Drongo (family Dicruridae), and Dove (family Columbidae). Interestingly, eight 'Least Concern' bird species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) – Hooded Pitta (Pitta sordida – family Pittidae), Cinnamon Bittern (Ixobrychus cinnamomeus – family Ardeidae), Watercock (Gallicrex cinerea – family Rallidae), Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos – family Scolopacidae), Emerald Dove (Chalcophaps indica – family Columbidae), White-Browed Piculet (Sasia ochracea – family Picidae), Dark-Necked Tailorbird (Orthotomus atrogularis – family Muscicapidae) and Brown Fish-Owl (Ketupa zeylonensis – family Strigidae) as well as a ‘Vulnerable’ species Lesser Adjutant Stork (Leptoptilos javanicus  –  family Ciconiidae) and  ‘Near Threatened’ species Alexandrine Parakeet (Psittacula eupatria – family Psittacidae) were also noted. Out of a total 95 avian species, 46 species belonged to the insectivorous category, accounting for the greatest number according to the feeding guild recorded within different line transects in Visual Encounter Surveys (VES) conducted weekly from March 2023 to August 2023. Although the avifaunal studies have enormous potential in the Barak Valley, conservation measures are essential to protect the biodiversity. Public involvement in awareness campaigns and conservation activities is crucial for conserving avian diversity within the Valley. As paddy fields are used primarily by grassland and wetland bird species, there are significant information gaps in the monitoring of bird populations in paddy cultivation as well as in different stages of rice growing cycles, which makes it essential to understand the importance of paddy fields on avian populations as well as diversity.
