ABSTRACT

The use of steel material offers benefits in terms of accelerating construction time and adapting the shape of steel beams to meet design requirements. One of them is a steel beam with battlements. However, because to the narrow nature of steel beams, there is a possibility of instability in the form of deformation occurring outside the loading plane. This type of deformation is commonly referred to as torsion in beams. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal torsion span in castella beams with dimensions of 225 x 75 x 7 x 8 under the influence of a static seismic load. The span range being considered is 3.1m to 3.5m. The analysis will be conducted using Etabs v.20 software. The torsion on the x-axis beam span is evident from the results of the structural analysis conducted using ETABS v.20 software. The castella beam has an effective span of 3.3 m for resisting torsion caused by earthquake stresses. It can withstand a torsion of 8 Nm for x-axis static earthquakes and y-axis static earthquakes. The value is 2.7 Newton meters (Nm). The torsional force acting on the y-axis beam span. The castella beam has an effective span of 3.3 m for resisting torsion caused by earthquake stresses. It can withstand a torsion of 5.6 Nm along the x-axis and 4.1 Nm along the y-axis for static earthquakes.

ABSTRACT

The waste management system in the Anduonohu Village is deemed suboptimal, as only one Temporary Disposal Site (TPS) is present on Jl. Kelengkeng RW 3. This is in stark contrast to the population density of Anduonohu Village, which spans an area of 14.11 km2, with a total of 3,433 households, 13,162 residents and comprises 11 neighborhood units (RW) and 37 household units (RT). To assess the existing condition of the TPS and calculate the waste generation in the residential areas of Anduonohu Village, observation, interviews, and waste generation calculations based on SNI 19-3964-1994 were employed as methods.. The research findings encompass the existing condition of the TPS, focusing on containment, collection, and transportation. The community engages in individual containment, and collection follows an indirect individual pattern, along with the utilization of self-incinerators. Waste transportation is carried out by two units: dump trucks and motorized rickshaws. Subsequently, the waste generated by the residents of Anduonohu Village consists of 85.826 m3/day of organic waste, 67.483 m3/day of inorganic waste, and a total of 158.71 m3/day of organic and inorganic waste

Tax Buoyancy: Too Noisy for Signals
Authors: Kohli Renu
Published: December 2023

The true trend in tax revenues has been obscured by pandemic-related effects, inflation, and discretionary policy changes in recent years. These hinder accurate assessment of the state of the economy, a correct picture of which can only be had by stripping out these effects. In particular, the increasing deployment of additional revenue measures in succession for several years has masked information on the economy’s health that is observed from the automatic movement of tax revenues along with the GDP. This paper focuses upon tax buoyancy, which includes discretionary policy changes, to examine how the historical relationship of tax revenues with income may have been disturbed by exceptional shocks. Using early data and other evidence, it illustrates probable impacts of non-linear and asymmetric normalisation, the extraordinary price growth and uneven distribution thereof, and fiscal policy responses in the pandemic. It further compiles additional revenue mobilization measures for a longer period from 2011-12 to highlight how newer and fresher fiscal efforts have been used to complement a stagnant or shrinking tax base and how these can be distortionary in aspects beyond the diffusion of important macroeconomic signals.
Wastewater Surveillance for Disease Epidemiology
Authors: Naik Shambhavi , Shyamala T  , Shridhar Varsha
Published: December 2023

Wastewater-based epidemiological surveillance (WBE) showed the potential to become a pivotal public health tool for measuring community disease burden during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many countries used WBE as part of their national disease surveillance to inform on the optimal deployment of public health measures. In India, civil society groups, research institutions, and private companies across various urban areas also demonstrated the utility of WBE in assessing community burden. While the European Union has recently begun to craft policies for the integration of WBE into a global surveillance network, many countries (including India) do not have a national policy to enable such integration. This paper argues for a national wastewater surveillance system for India, covering community-level assessment of various public health threats, along with integration of data from urban marginalised populations, to promote health equity and facilitate OneHealth-based thinking of disease emergence and spread. The paper outlines WBE efforts around the world, highlights its advantages as a cost-effective tool to supplement rather than supplant existing frameworks, and makes a case for its implementation in India, along with recommendations for next steps towards such implementation. The effective use of WBE should help India identify areas of emerging health threats, prepare for future infectious disease outbreaks, and allocate resources according to population requirements.
Navigating the streets

The Indian government’s approach to dog population management for the last two decades – the animal birth control (ABC) program – has yielded poor results. Aside from its implementation failures, the ABC is scientifically unsuited to the scale and severity of the harms posed by free-ranging dogs. It is based on a deficient understanding of both animal behaviour and animal welfare. The Indian Supreme Court, which is hearing multiple petitions relating to the danger to human life and safety posed by India’s burgeoning population of free-ranging dogs, has issued interim orders that restrict alternative interventions such as long-term sheltering and euthanasia. While the legal dispute has meandered through the judicial system for more than a decade, the harms caused by free-ranging dogs continue unabated. Recent legislative changes, which encourage the maintenance of dogs on streets, have pushed government policy in a seemingly regressive pathway. This paper presents a critical discussion of the legal and policy position, and suggests integrated and contextual approaches for viable dog population management.

A cor é um atributo importante na escolha de um alimento. A indústria de alimentos costuma fazer uso de corantes artificiais em diferentes tipos de produtos. No entanto diversos problemas têm sido levantados com relação a esses aditivos artificiais associados a sua toxicidade e alergenicidade. Entre as fontes de pigmentos naturais estudadas com o objetivo de substituir os artificiais temos as antocianinas. Diversas são as fontes para obtenção de antocianinas, uma delas é a uva tinta utilizada para fabricação de vinhos e sucos. A região do Vale do Submédio São Francisco, no semiárido Nordestino, tem mostrado possuir um grande potencial na produção de uvas tintas, pois produz uva o ano inteiro e com uma maior quantidade de antocianinas por possuir elevados índices de insolação durante o ano inteiro. A produção de vinhos e sucos de uva nessa região tem gerado resíduos que normalmente são utilizados para a fabricação de fertilizantes. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou a utilização dos resíduos de vinificação e do preparo de suco de uva para obtenção de corante natural de antocianina. Os resíduos foram cedidos pela Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária-EMBRAPA, foi determinado o resíduo com maior concentração de antocianina através da comparação de médias por teste de Tukey e teste T (P⩽0,05) para resíduo de suco e vinho. Os extratos obtidos, foram concentrados até um volume de 30% do seu volume original e caracterizados quanto o teor de antocianinas, compostos fenólicos totais, capacidade antioxidante pelos métodos ABTS e FRAP e análise colorimétrica. Ambos os resíduos se mostraram boas fontes de antocianinas com destaque para os da indústria de vinhos.

Pandemia COVID-19 ograniczyła czasowo bezpośredni dostęp do szkół i tym samym wymusiła reorganizację procesu edukacji. W poszczególnych państwach przerwy w nauczaniu stacjonarnym były zróżnicowane, ale wszędzie pozostawiły pewne konsekwencje. Niezamierzonym efektem wysiłków mających na celu opanowanie kryzysu okazało się zakłócenie procesu edukacji całego pokolenia. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było scharakteryzowanie konsekwencji zdalnego nauczania dostrzeżonych przez pedagogów specjalnych pracujących z uczniami z niepełnosprawnościami w systemie szkolnictwa integracyjnego. Badanie było prowadzone w nurcie ilościowo-jakościowym przy zastosowaniu techniki wywiadu częściowo ustrukturyzowanego. Do zebrania materiału empirycznego wykorzystano autorski kwestionariusz wywiadu dotyczący percepcji funkcjonowania uczniów i nauczycieli podczas edukacji zdalnej. Dobór osób do badań był celowy – badaniami objęto 32 pedagogów specjalnych pracujących w szkolnictwie integracyjnym. Badania były realizowane w kontakcie bezpośrednim, bez stosowania rozwiązań online. Uzyskane rezultaty wskazują, że edukacja zdalna miała pewne niekorzystne następstwa zarówno w sferze edukacyjnej, jak i psychospołecznej uczniów z niepełnosprawnościami, głównie w umiejętnościach komunikacyjnych i labilności emocjonalnej.

Prinsip Dan Aplikasi Hukum Ekonomi Syariah Dalam Bisnis Modern
Authors: Fasya Gania
Published: December 2023

Artikel ini menyelidiki prinsip dan aplikasi hukum ekonomi syariah dalam konteks bisnis modern. Ekonomi syariah, yang berakar pada ajaran Islam, menawarkan pendekatan unik dalam transaksi keuangan dan bisnis yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan keadilan, transparansi, dan kesejahteraan sosial. Di tengah meningkatnya globalisasi dan perubahan dinamika ekonomi, prinsip syariah memberikan alternatif menarik untuk model bisnis konvensional. Dalam ekonomi syariah, konsep riba (bunga) dihindari karena dianggap tidak adil dan berpotensi menimbulkan ketidakseimbangan sosial. Alih-alih menggunakan bunga, ekonomi syariah berfokus pada konsep berbagi risiko dan keuntungan, di mana kedua belah pihak dalam transaksi memiliki bagian dalam keuntungan dan kerugian. Prinsip ini tidak hanya mengurangi risiko keuangan yang tidak adil, tetapi juga mendorong kerjasama dan solidaritas. Selanjutnya, artikel ini membahas bagaimana hukum ekonomi syariah diterapkan dalam bisnis modern, terutama dalam keuangan syariah, asuransi (takaful), dan investasi berbasis syariah. Bisnis modern yang mengadopsi prinsip syariah menunjukkan komitmen terhadap praktik etis dan keberlanjutan, yang semakin dicari oleh konsumen dan investor. Tantangan dalam mengintegrasikan prinsip syariah dalam bisnis global juga dibahas, termasuk isu standarisasi, persepsi, dan adaptasi terhadap berbagai lingkungan regulasi. Namun, dengan meningkatnya kesadaran dan permintaan untuk bisnis yang etis dan berkelanjutan, prinsip ekonomi syariah menawarkan peluang besar untuk inovasi dan pertumbuhan dalam bisnis modern.

Published: December 2023

The application of drone technology in micro-watershed evaluation in Sub- Saharan Africa may potentially attract sustainable management of watersheds and limit practices that encourage pollution, erosion, flooding, deforestation and afforestation, among others. This paper employs data from literature sources to establish the significance of adopting drone application technology in the evaluation of micro-watersheds in Kenya to discourage the alteration of the specified ecosystems and enhance their general functioning. Of the reviewed literature, 80% sources were from developed nations; and 20% were from developing countries. The results suggest that the application of drones in micro-watershed evaluation has a wide range of benefits; including the provision of real time assessment, offering comprehensive visual information, enhancing agricultural productivity, enhancing decision-making capabilities; promoting optimal and sustainable utilization of resources; promoting improved food security and socio-economic wellbeing; attracting cost effectiveness; fostering innovation; promoting efficient data collection; reducing crop and environmental damages; ensuring controlled utilization of agricultural inputs; and the provision of accurate data, large amount of data, and real-time data. Moreover, the application of drones in micro-watersheds ensures unlimited coverage, high accuracy and speed; endurance and controlled range; and replicability and availability. The results conclude that drones are useful, reliable and effective in the evaluation of micro-watersheds, and may thus protect watersheds from being altered.

PERCEIVED USEFULNESS (OF TECHNOLOGY) ON SME PERFORMANCE IN BULOBA, UGANDA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Niyongere Denis , K. Osunsan Olutayo
Published: December 2023

This study employed a descriptive quantitative design to investigate the connection between the perceived usefulness of technology adoption and the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Buloba Town, Uganda. The descriptive design aimed to analyze the relationship between identified variables and provide a thorough exploration of the problem, while considering the characteristics of the target population. A total of 79 SMEs were included in the study using nonprobability sampling (purposive). The analysis revealed a weak/small positive, but statistically insignificant relationship between the perceived usefulness of technology and SME performance in Buloba. However, the statistical significance was not established. The low R-squared value and non-significant t-value indicate that other factors may have a more significant impact on explaining SME performance in the setting. To gain a better understanding of the relationship between Perceived usefulness (of technology) and SME performance, further research and analysis with a larger sample size or the inclusion of additional variables may be necessary. The study recommends that the government facilitates access to affordable and reliable internet services for SMEs in Buloba, which would enhance their online presence and ability to connect with customers.
Nigeria’s Bilateral Trade in Goods and Services with Selected International Trading Partners
Authors: K. Okogo Chuks , O. Orubu Christopher , T. Ezi Chigoziem
Published: December 2023

Over the period, Nigeria’s major export commodities are agricultural goods, solid minerals, energy goods manufactured goods, crude oil and other oil products of which petroleum crude accounted for about 79% of total export while imports consisted of refined petroleum, raw materials, cars, agricultural goods, energy goods and other manufacture products. Using the augmented gravity model approach, this study analysed Nigeria’s bilateral trade in goods and services with selected international partners namely Belgium, China, France, India, Italy, Netherlands, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States for the period 1995–2020. This study estimated the pooled ordinary least square and the fixed effect estimation in a balanced panel model. It was found that trade flow in Nigeria is positively and significantly determined by gross domestic product, population, and common colony in both models. The result further showed that distance negatively and significantly affects trade flow in Nigeria while relative price was positive and significant in the pooled effect model and negatively significant in the fixed effect model. Common language was positively significant in the pooled effect model but was statistically insignificant in the fixed effect model. Lastly, real effective exchange rate was not statistically significant in explaining bilateral trade flow in Nigeria within the study period in both models. Based on the results and the implications it holds, the study recommends amongst others, that policies aimed at diversifying the economy away from oil towards a technological, service and export driven economy should be earnestly pursued. This study further concludes that policy actions and human capital development programmes are therefore required to convert the teeming population into active and effective labour force which will in turn improve the gross domestic product and consequently improve trade flow

Published: December 2023

This survey research was conducted in Benighat Rorang Rural Municipality of Dhading district of Nepal in 2022. Main objective of the study was to analyze the profitability of main season and off-season production of selected vegetables in Dhading district. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 60 respondents (commercial vegetable farmers) who were interviewed face-to-face administering a semi-structured questionnaire to collect primary data. Though the average cost of production of cauliflower and tomato in off-season was higher than in main season, net incomes from these crops in off-season were higher than in main season (p<0.01). Benefit-cost ratios of cauliflower and tomato in main season (2.09 and 1.13 respectively) were lower than in off-season (2.78 and 1.47 respectively). Results indicated that growing vegetables in off-season is more profitable than in main season. The major problems perceived by the commercial vegetable farmers in the study area were high fluctuation in market price of vegetables followed by disease and insect pest damage. Study suggests that off-season vegetable production can be used as better alternative for income generation taking advantage of premium price.  Government support to off-season vegetable production could make this business more profitable and sustainable.

Poetic Intonation in the Poems by Alexander Blok and Sergei Yesenin: More on the Methodology of Analysis
Authors:   The State Musical Pedagogical Institute named after M.M.Ippolitov-Ivanov, Oparina Julia M.
Published: December 2023

In poetry, like in music, the poetic sounding has a semantic meaning and the meaning captured in a poem is “incapable of being renamed”, that is, expressed in any other way. This is what A.V. Mikhailov defines as “musicality”. Based on the concept of musicality in poetry, the article puts forward an original method of analysing poetic intonation. It can be used to identify individual features of the sound structure in a verse and, as a consequence, its emotional tone. The comparative analysis of two poems by A. Blok and S. Yesenin found the difference between the poetic intonation—a sound meaning— chosen by the authors. The manifestation of verse (rhythmic) and conversational (phrasal) intonations shapes the form of the poetic text either closer to the immanent musical or speech patterns. The analysis of the sound meaning in a verse combines linguistic and musicological approaches. This methodology facilitates the retrieval of deep “musical” patterns of the poetic text and their “reincarnation” in a composer's interpretation. The two traditional types of verse recitation, i.e., conventional, done in an actor's fashion (expressively declamatory), and authorial (monotonously melodious, rhythmised) are fundamentally different approaches to the sound embodiment of the text, which also applies to the interpretations made by composers. The poetic (“rhythmic”) intonation is used to show the difference between poetry and prose; hence, it is a fundamental condition for the emotional, semantic and musical unity of the poetic text. In this connection, the article attempts to find a functional equivalent to the poetic intonation in music written to this poetic text so that the words absorbed by music regain their artistic unity.

Kant’s aesthetics is a strict and harmonious system underpinning the analysis of aesthetic consciousness. His views produced a huge impact on the subsequent development of aesthetic thought. Despite certain contradictions, the Kantian philosophical system and, in particular, his aesthetic views are of timeless value. In this respect, it is paramount to explore these contradictions and understand their role in the Kantian philosophy. Kant was repeatedly reproached for his formal approach to aesthetics that disregards artistic practice. However, it was not criticism but, rather, direct apologetics of Kant's philosophical vision promoted among his followers that led to aesthetic formalism. In other words, the rationality of thinking was transferred on the very object of exploration—the art. Kant's comments on music, as an integral part of his aesthetic theory, are formal and sparing. They contrast with a growing role of music in the cultural landscape at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and the scope of Kant’s commentary given to other arts. Nonetheless, the aesthetic value of music was still recognised as music was listed in Kant's classification of arts. Our research has concluded that the reasons behind Kant’s inconsistencies are not limited to the well-known gap between the aesthetic object and the judgment about it. Another reason is his conscious detachment from contemporary musical practice, and, more broadly, from the irrational essence of music which he implicitly felt. Kant's rejection of sensory and emotional perception of music in favor of its rational interpretation identified one of the key issues for the future research agenda in aesthetics. The question of whether it is possible to perceive music as a non-conceptual art with the help of rational thinking alone emerged from the contradictions of Kant's aesthetic. This issue has not lost its relevance. In fact, it has created the basis for modern transformations of musical art towards pronounced intellectualism. The identification of the essence and grounds for Kant’s contradictions will allow to fend off accusations of formalism put forward by his followers and critics.
J.S. Bach’s Canons BWV 1087: More on Musical Emblematics
Authors:   Saint-Petersburg Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory, Yankus Alla I.
Published: December 2023

The article focuses on 14 canons by J.S. Bach, BWV 1087, written by the composer in the printed copy of the Clavierübung IV (Goldberg Variations) under the title Various Сanons on the First Eight Foundation Notes of the Preceding Aria. The article compares this cycle with the canons from the Goldberg Variations. In particular, it explores the information accompanying the canons. Every third Goldberg Variation is called Canon. This first group of canons is marked by an imitative sequential form of variation with a completely open and fixed musical text. The second group of Fourteen Canons is marked by specific encryption. Here, the notation does not contain the complete melodic material: the melodic material given is the foundation for the full text of the composition to be derived by means of, inter alia, titles and a set of signs that serve as a guide to their reading. Each of the 14 encrypted canons features an eight-sound soggetto as an initial construction of the bass melody from the Goldberg Variations theme, the Aria. As a canon-forming voice on the whole, in part or as a cantus firmus, an eight-sound theme is the audible and visible basis of all the canons in question. Due to its brevity and constructive isolation, the theme is perceived entirely and at once. The analysis of the encrypted canons BWV 1087 revealed parallels to the three constituent parts of an emblem: the word (a motto) is the soggetto, the image is the musical text of the canon as a voluminous and polysemantic entity subject to decoding, and, finally, a signature that allows you to “read the depicted”. The latter, in case of the canons, implies hearing the decrypted whole and understanding the accompanying signs and explanations.

Published: December 2023

Background:  The research delves into the efforts made by the class teacher to address reading challenges among third-grade students at SDN Bantar Kemang 06. While most class III students typically read proficiently, there are some in SDN Bantar Kemang 06 who require additional support in reading.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the specific reading difficulties these students face and explore the teacher's strategies to overcome these challenges.

Design and methods: Employing a qualitative approach, the research adopts a case study method. Data collection involves observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The Miles Huberman Analysis Model guides data analysis through components of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion verification. To ensure data validity, triangulation methods involving source, method, and time are employed.

Results: The findings reveal five key efforts by the homeroom teacher to address students' reading difficulties. Firstly, the teacher emphasizes classroom literacy. Secondly, a dedicated reading corner is established within the classroom. Thirdly, additional reading sessions of about 20 minutes are provided after regular learning activities for struggling students. Fourthly, proactive communication with parents and conducting tutoring or individual guidance sessions for students in need are implemented. The identified factors contributing to students' reading difficulties encompass intellectual, environmental, and psychological aspects. These difficulties manifest in hesitancy while reading, inadequate attention to punctuation in lengthy sentences, and a need for assistance in comprehension.

Published: December 2023

Background:  Science learning holds paramount significance in the advancement of science and technology. Two pivotal theories, falsification theory and the constructivism paradigm, profoundly influence the landscape of science education.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of falsification theory and the constructivism paradigm on the development of science learning. Falsification theory, pioneered by Karl Popper, underscores the necessity of rigorous testing and validation of scientific hypotheses, forming the bedrock for the evolution of scientific knowledge. Conversely, the constructivism paradigm accentuates the active role individuals play in constructing knowledge, emphasizing a student-centered approach that involves collaborative learning, and problem-solving.

Design and methods: In this study, we delve into the implications of falsification theory and the constructivism paradigm in shaping science education. Falsification theory advocates for empirical proof and stringent testing of scientific hypotheses, while the constructivism paradigm promotes active student involvement in building their comprehension of scientific concepts. The study investigates how the integration of these two approaches can foster robust science learning environments, encouraging critical thinking, exploration, and profound understanding.

Results: The synthesis of falsification theory and the constructivism paradigm in science learning holds promise for cultivating a rich educational experience. By finding a delicate balance between rigorous empirical testing and providing opportunities for active student engagement, educators can create a profound and meaningful learning journey for students. This integrated approach not only instills an appreciation for the scientific method but also nurtures a deep understanding of science concepts, ultimately shaping students into critical thinkers with a genuine enthusiasm for scientific exploration.
