Contributions to the Theory of Environmental Sampling
Authors: Prentius Wilmer
Published: October 2023

Environmental monitoring plays a crucial role in guiding climate change and conservation policy decisions. To obtain reliable insights from environmental populations, it is essential to adopt probability sampling. Furthermore, the availability of auxiliary variables can greatly enhance the quality by reducing estimator variability. Auxiliary information can be used in different ways in a sampling design. Some designs aim to satisfy the balancing equation, i.e. selecting samples where the sample means of the auxiliary variables equal the population means. Other designs are constructed in an attempt to obtain samples well-spread, or spatially balanced, in auxiliary space, creating the sample as a miniature of the population. Paper III provides an improvement of an existing design, making it possible to increase the average spread of the sample. In Paper IV, a novel metric is introduced to assess a design’s capability to yield spatially balanced samples. Papers II and V introduce sampling designs for different types of populations one might encounter in nature. The variant of adaptive cluster sampling developed in Paper II facilitates the study of rare and clustered populations, utilizing circular plot shapes popular among practitioners. Paper V addresses the sampling of linear objects like storm-felled trees, employing aerial photographs from drones in the data collection processes. When data are gathered from multiple surveys, various methods exist to consolidate results. A common approach involves constructing a linear combination weighted by variances. Paper I introduces a novel estimator that employs a linear combination, particularly valuable when a correlation is suspected between the estimator and the variance estimator – a frequently encountered scenario in studies involving environmental populations. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the field of environmental monitoring by emphasizing the critical role of probability sampling, utilization of auxiliary variables, and introducing innovative sampling designs tailored to the intricacies of environmental populations.

Jornalismo, Conhecimento e Pensamento Marxista: de Antonio Gramsci a Adelmo Genro Filho
Authors: Peixoto Clarissa , Lima Samuel Pantoja
Published: October 2023

A presente exploração teórica é um estudo da obra de Antonio Gramsci e Adelmo Genro Filho sobre jornalismo, entendido como forma social de produção do conhecimento. Procura-se levantar, em Gramsci, a noção de “jornalismo integral” e suas intersecções com os conceitos de hegemonia, conhecimento e práxis. Também explora a obra de Genro Filho e a sua “teoria marxista do jornalismo”, em que os conceitos de conhecimento, objetividade e práxis são fundantes. Pretende-se distinguir ambas perspectivas, sobretudo no que diz respeito à ideia de práxis jornalística, aqui compreendida como atribuiu-lhe Marx, qual seja a atividade livre, universal, criativa e autocriativa.
Brecht: arte de vanguarda e luta ideológica
Authors: Coutinho Eduardo
Published: October 2023

O presente ensaio aborda a questão da ideologia na obra de Bertolt Brecht. Foi no campo da estética, particularmente no terreno das artes cênicas, que Brecht travou a sua luta, colocando-se basicamente como tarefa a crítica e desconstrução da ideologia burguesa, cujo poder consiste em apresentar como naturais as relações de exploração e opressão. Em seu teatro dialético, o dramaturgo alemão revela o quão estranhável, na verdade, são essas relações que aos oprimidos parecem ser normais, evidentes.

A Review on Endophytic Fungi: A Natural Source of Industrial Enzymes
Authors: Usman Mohammed Maikudi , Idi Ahmad , Aisami Abuabakar , Maigari Fatima Umar
Published: October 2023

Endophytic fungi are microscopic organisms that live inside plant tissue. They can create a vast array of enzymes and metabolites that present a variety of biological activities without causing any visible indications of their existence. Due to their extensive use in many industries and their simplicity in production, stability, and optimization, fungal enzymes have attracted attention. This paper describes potential applications for the enzymes made by endophytic fungus and explores their use in diverse industries. Additionally, endophytic fungi may develop into fresh sources of industrially valuable enzymes like lipases, amylases, and proteases. Endophytes have rarely been used as sources of industrially relevant enzymes due to the diversity of plants that are readily available. In view of that, search for endophytes from plants with the potential of industrial enzymes is of paramount importance.
Human Activity Recognition Using Multi Features
Authors: S BANUSHRI
Published: October 2023

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a multidisciplinary field that uses computational algorithms to understand and categorize human behaviors. Recently, the focus has been on utilizing multiple aspects to enhance the depth and accuracy of identification algorithms. This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the advances made in HAR, with a particular emphasis on the integration and synergistic use of various features. We explore a wide range of properties that are relevant to HAR, including spatial and temporal data, physiological indicators, and detailed environmental variables. By adopting a multi-feature approach, we can broaden the scope of recognizable activities while also improving the precision and adaptability of identification systems, addressing the dynamic and multifaceted nature of human activities. However, combining multiple attributes complicates data processing, model training, and real- time applications. This survey delves into these issues, providing insights into potential solutions and future prospects. As we enter a new era in HAR, the combination of various aspects promises a more comprehensive, context-aware, and nuanced understanding of human actions, with enormous potential for applications ranging from healthcare to smart home systems.
Fiber Identity Politics and Potential Threats
Authors: B. Muhammad Ridho
Published: October 2023

The practice of identity politics has again strengthened and dominated the socio-political discourse in this country. Identity politics that appears in all spheres, be it the political stage (elections), social and economic domains, must receive special attention for all stakeholders who still have love for the homeland and patriotism, and require a comprehensive study. This study aims to examine identity politics comprehensively regarding the root causes, forms and patterns of movement and the potential threats it carries. This study uses qualitative research methods, while the data collection techniques are carried out by exploring journals, books, and other information relevant to the study. The results of the study show that identity politics in Indonesia arises due to various factors. The basic causes of identity politics also determine the form and pattern of movements or actions of identity politics that are carried out. In the form of radical action, political reasons, namely ideology, often become the root of the problem which is then closely intertwined with rationalization of action based on identity as the cover. Identity politics is a way to mobilize support and advance the hidden agenda behind the practice of identity politics that is shown. This is of course very vulnerable to the life of the nation and state because such pragmatism will only lead the community to social conflict as a result of the strengthening of identity and self-exclusiveness sentiments or groups and, whether consciously or not, often involve acts of physical or symbolic violence.

La condición «cismática» de la representación: lo escénico y lo inconsciente en tiempos de datificación. Aportes desde la filosofía de Louis Althusser
Authors: Romé Natalia
Published: October 2023

El artículo recorre el tratamiento que Louis Althusser ofrece acerca de la noción de Darstellung, en el marco de su proyecto de dar forma al concepto de causalidad estructural en la teoría marxista. Retomando investigaciones anteriores de Étienne Balibar, Vittorio Morfino, George Hartley, Warren Montag y Aurelio Sainz Pezonaga, se reconstruyen algunos de los problemas hilvanados en la serie que articula, en la escritura althusseriana, las categorías marxistas de Darstellung, Verbindung y Gliederung con la metáfora del teatro sin autor. El artículo tiene como objetivo exponer la condición cismática de la noción althusseriana de representación, escindida por una singular idea de performatividad que va de lo escénico a lo inconsciente. Con este recorrido me propongo aportar ayuda a la formulación de la pregunta por las posibilidades de la crítica en la coyuntura del pensamiento algorítmico.
Representación e imaginación: dos lecturas foucaultianas de la época clásica
Authors: Sferco Senda
Published: October 2023

Este artículo expone la caracterización que hace Foucault de la época clásica, donde aborda el surgimiento de la modernidad desde un punto de vista arqueológico. Dos corpus serán explorados: el célebre libro Les mots et les choses: Une archéologie des sciences humaines, de 1966, y La question anthropologique, manuscrito inédito y recientemente publicado de un curso dictado en 1955 que revela aspectos de la analítica que Foucault está construyendo, dando cuenta, ya en 1950, de una posición que mantendrá como hipótesis analítica en sus textos de 1960, realizando los mismos cortes epocales y ubicando al hombre como figura epistémica moderna. Ahora bien, el análisis de la época clásica en ambos corpus hace énfasis en un problema diferente: si la episteme de la representación ocupa el centro del análisis en Les mots…, en el curso de 1955, la misma época es visitada en relación con el problema de la imaginación, situando en Malebranche un referente principal. En este estudio presentaremos ambas derivas poniendo en valor sus énfasis particulares tanto como la potencia que habilita su cruce.

BACKGROUND: Tablets are the most widely available dosage form for the treatment of TB; however, adult tablets fail to meet the needs of young children who cannot swallow these tablets or require dose titration. We tested a new, simple device (XTEMP-R®) and the
methodology for converting tablets of TB drugs into a homogeneous suspension for home use by children and caregivers.METHODS: XTEMP-R is a new device used for converting tablets into liquid preparations. Four TB drugs – pretomanid, delamanid, clofazimine and bedaquiline –
were dispersed in the device utilizing water and simple syrup. The reproducibility of accurately delivering aliquots from the suspension upon preparation and upon redispersion after storing for 2 days was studied.RESULTS: Suspensions of each of the drugs tested were easily prepared
in about 10 min and were visually uniform in consistency. Dosages in 2 and 5 mL were assessed in suspension, and those in 5 mL tested upon redispersion after 2 days. The observed range for these dosages spanned from 94.6% to 101.1% of the theoretical concentration for the suspensions under
examination. The cleaned device had no detectable residual drug.CONCLUSION: XTEMP-R can be used at home by caregivers to prepare doses of suspensions accurately for children and patients who cannot swallow tablets.
Acesso à água potável como instrumento de crescimento econômico sustentável
Authors: Hafemann Ana Claudia
Published: October 2023

Considerado uma das causas do deslocamento forçado de população, o acesso à água tornou-se um dos principais desafios humanitários deste século. O ano de 2023 marca o 13º aniversário da Resolução das Nações Unidas que declarou a água limpa e saneamento como direito humano essencial. Levando em consideração a importância desses serviços para a saúde e qualidade de vida da população, em contraste com as violações dos direitos humanos à água, promovidas por elementos que impedem, limitam ou dificultam o acesso, o presente estudo propõe analisar em que medida a garantia de acesso à água potável como direito humano torna possível a redução dos índices de desigualdades econômicas, sob o prisma do crescimento econômico e sustentável. Além disso, é levada em consideração a correlação entre instituições na rede de sustentabilidade, diante das contribuições destes atores em uma estrutura de crescimento.

Published: October 2023

Objective: This paper aims to elaborate on the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today and how to reflect on law enforcement in Indonesia in the future. This paper uses a normative type of writing using a statutory, case, and comparative approach.   Method: This paper is then analyzed using the Prescriptive analysis technique.   Result: This paper shows that the morality of law enforcement in Indonesia today can be seen from several things: inconsistent law enforcement, corruption among law enforcement officials, law enforcement by violating the law, and selective law enforcement. The reflection of law enforcement in Indonesia in the future based on morality must be based on strengthening several aspects: strengthening integrity and ethics in law enforcement, transparency and accountability in the law enforcement process, revamping the legal system and institutions, and increasing legal awareness.   Conclusion: The authors of this research want to learn more about and reflect on the moral dimensions of Indonesia's police force. This research aims to provide light on how morality influences the behavior of law enforcement officials by researching law enforcement methods, ethics, and justice. The study's findings should serve as a springboard for implementing more just rules and procedures in Indonesia's law enforcement.

Authors: Nwafor Lloyd Chukwuemeka
Published: October 2023

Objective: This paper aims to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact of government institutions on the attainment of good governance for sustainable development in Nigeria during the Buhari Administration (2015-2023). It focuses on government institutions' statutory functions in relation to good governance, sustainable development policies, and legislative and policy reforms to promote good governance and sustainable development.
 
Theoretical Framework: This study is underpinned by institutional theory, which de-emphasizes self-interest. The establishment and upkeep of governance institutions exemplify an unwavering dedication, irrespective of the outcomes. The theory of institutions elucidates the growth and structural dynamics of public sectors, drawing upon illustrative instances of successful organizations across various nations. Government institutions and state agencies in Nigeria bear the responsibility of executing good governance policies and assessing their impact on sustainable development.
 
Method: The study employed a straightforward sampling strategy to gather data from 101 individuals from 17 government agencies in Nigeria. A questionnaire was employed as a means of data collection. The questionnaire's validation process involved using Lawshe's template, resulting in a content validity ratio (CVR) of 1. Additionally, the reliability of the questionnaire was assessed using the Cronbach alpha technique, yielding a coefficient alpha value of 0.80. The survey was conducted using a method that did not include direct contact with the participants and the data obtained was analyzed by calculating the frequency of responses and expressing them as percentages.
 
Findings: A higher number of participants recognized their legal responsibilities in accordance with good governance. Sustainable development policies were ineffective, limiting their success. From 2015 to 2023, Buhari's policies failed to ensure lasting good governance and development. Statistical significance was established using chi-square statistics, showing a p-value of .000 (p < 0.05). Thus, effective governance duties of government institutions are linked to sustainable development policy success. Corruption, bureaucratic inefficiency, and inefficiency plague institutions seeking excellent governance for sustainable development.
 
Conclusion: Sustainable development requires a balance between effective policies and governance structures. The Federal Republic of Nigeria's constitution requires government institutions to carefully follow their constitutional commitments.
