Published: August 2023

Abstract: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are increasing, resulting in a high mortality rate among victims. Delays in reaching the hospital and traffic congestion worsen the situation. Immediate aid is crucial in reducing deaths caused by RTAs. To address this, the RTO Dashboard system is proposed. It utilizes VANET technology in urban environments to promptly identify and report accidents. Operating through a website, the system eliminates the need for specialized hardware and utilizes cloud computing for efficient data processing. It enables quick accident location and provides vital information to emergency responders, improving rescue operations. The RTO Dashboard aims to minimize fatalities and enhance the effectiveness of accident reporting and rescue efforts.

Abstract: Robust and efficient data security measures are of the utmost importance given the growing reliance on digital technologies. I recommend developing a simulated security testing platform using artificial immune algorithms to improve data security in response to the needs of the user. This software provides the capacity to simulate different cyber-attacks, making it easier to assess the efficacy of different safeguards. The platform may adapt to these attacks and learn from them by utilizing the strength of artificial immune mechanisms, increasing its resistance to threats in the future. I acquired beneficial expertise in software development, algorithm design, and data security as a result of my active participation in this project. I'm thrilled to share this study as a proof of my abilities and unwavering commitment to the data security area. The suggested approach makes use of Python-based machine learning techniques, and adds HTML, CSS, and JS for the user interface. The suggested approach also includes a user-friendly interface built using HTML, CSS, and JS, making it easier to integrate with present systems.

Authors: Tripathi Vivek Kumar , Saini Ruchika , Joshi U. K.
Published: August 2023

Abstract: Disc rotor is component which is used in automotive vehicle wheels to apply brakes, the concept which works during brake is frictional resistance between pad and rotor. Due to frictional resistance the heat gets generated between disc and pad so, in order to reduce the effect of heat the rotor is designed as ventilated disc. The common material which is used to manufacture the disc rotor is Grey Cast Iron. The purpose of this review paper is to study the behavior and kinds of work has been done before on Disc Brake and based on this review paper we have decided to do structural analysis on disc brake rotor using different materials like GREY CAST IRON, TITANIUM, MAGNESIUM ALLOY, ALUMINUM ALLOY, and STRUCTURAL STEEL and then compare the results of different materials with conventional material (GREY CAST IRON) that is usually used in disc brake rotor. The analysis will be done by using CATIA for modeling and ANSYS WORKBENCH 18.0 for structural analysis. Based on previous research the objective of this review paper is “Design and analysis of ventilated disc brake by using different materials”
Analyses of Box Bridge and Comparison of Structural Behavior using 3D Finite Element and Typical 1D Line Models
Authors: Vemuri Sitaram , Jonnalagadda Srimaruthi
Published: August 2023

Abstract: In civil engineering practice, 1D modeling (also called line modeling) is often the most common method of modeling used for the analyses of structures. It is easy to create the model and saves time without loss of significant accuracy in the results. However, these line models are ideally not a true representation of the behavior of the structure as they are overly simplified versions. Though this simplification leads to quick modeling and reduces analyses-design cycle time, this oversimplification can lead to inaccuracies and over- design that can impact the economy of construction in repeat projects. Also, in the current era of precast modular construction, it would be prudent to analyze a structure as precisely as it can be so that optimal solution is achieved before designing as standard member that can be reused across an array of projects. In this study an effort is made to model a box bridge structure to analyze and compare the behavior of the bridge under railway vehicular train loading. A Road under Bridge (RUB) of 25m barrel length is considered and analysis is carried out by creating two models subjected to IRS vehicular rail axle loading using STAAD.PRO commercial software. A comparison of flexural forces in the culvert structure is made between results of 1D line model versus 3D box finite element model. It was found that flexure at the critical sections of the box based on line model analysis are much higher than those from 3D finite element analysis. In this particular example, a 14% excess of flexural reinforcement and a 40% excess shear reinforcement are required if we design the structure based on line model of analysis. Thus it is inferred that a design based on line model analysis can be overly conservative and uneconomical. It is suggested that detailed 3D finite element analysis be performed for the design of modular and reusable members especially for precast construction and engineering.

O processo de isolamento social causou muitas polêmicas e provocou impactos na vida das pessoas, principalmente no início da pandemia da covid-19, despertando, em grande parte da população brasileira, o medo de frequentar ambientes hospitalares mesmo em situações de emergência, como em caso de doenças do aparelho circulatório. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi caracterizar os impactos do isolamento social durante a pandemia da covid-19 no número de internações, assim como na mortalidade por doenças do aparelho circulatório. Trata-se de estudo quantitativo, de caráter exploratório e descritivo, que considerou como unidade de análise o estado de Goiás, com dados coletados a partir do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde (Datasus) entre março e dezembro de 2019, bem como de março a dezembro de 2020. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística e apresentados de forma descritiva por meio de tabelas. Como resultado, foi possível identificar que o isolamento provocado pela pandemia trouxe impactos relacionados à morbimortalidade do aparelho cardiovascular. Nesse sentido, precisamente, houve queda nas internações no período de isolamento, e as internações eletivas foram as de maior declínio. Ademais, em relação à mortalidade por doença do aparelho circulatório no período analisado de 2020, foram registradas 142 mortes a menos que no mesmo período do ano anterior, com predomínio no sexo masculino. Por fim, foi possível perceber que agosto de 2020 foi o mês em que coincidiu o pico de mortalidade por covid-19 com a maior queda nas internações por doenças do aparelho circulatório.

Kecukupan hara merupakan salah satu faktor yang sangat berpengaruh terhadap produktivitas kelapa sawit. Umumnya, pemenuhan kecukupan hara dilakukan melalui pemupukan yang ditentukan berdasarkan hasil analisis kandungan tanah dan daun. Pengukuran kandungan hara daun secara konvensional tidak memiliki fleksibilitas, tidak praktis, membutuhkan tenaga kerja intensif, serta perlu waktu dan biaya tinggi, sehingga penginderaan jauh dapat menjadi alternatif untuk mengatasinya. Dalam penelitian ini, digunakan ekstraksi nilai reflektan setiap saluran serta transformasi indeks vegetasi NDVI dan GNDVI dari 3 saluran kamera multispektal (red, green, near infrared) sebagai variabel bebas (predictor) untuk mengestimasi hara daun blok pengamatan pada perkebunan kelapa sawit. Model regresi polinomial berganda dibangun dari hasil analisis laboratorium daun kelapa sawit sebanyak 35 contoh yang digunakan sebagai variabel terikat.

Code-routing: a new attack on position verification
Authors: Cree Joy , May Alex
Published: August 2023

The cryptographic task of position verification attempts to verify one party's location in spacetime by exploiting constraints on quantum information and relativistic causality. A popular verification scheme known as f-routing involves requiring the prover to redirect a quantum system based on the value of a Boolean function f. Cheating strategies for the f-routing scheme require the prover use pre-shared entanglement, and security of the scheme rests on assumptions about how much entanglement a prover can manipulate. Here, we give a new cheating strategy in which the quantum system is encoded into a secret-sharing scheme, and the authorization structure of the secret-sharing scheme is exploited to direct the system appropriately. This strategy completes the f-routing task using O(SPp(f)) EPR pairs, where SPp(f) is the minimal size of a span program over the field Zp computing f. This shows we can efficiently attack f-routing schemes whenever f is in the complexity class ModpL, after allowing for local pre-processing. The best earlier construction achieved the class L, which is believed to be strictly inside of ModpL. We also show that the size of a quantum secret sharing scheme with indicator function fI upper bounds entanglement cost of f-routing on the function fI.
Diario del Darién. Revestimientos de una geo-grafía colonial
Authors: Fuentes Crispín Nara
Published: August 2023

En los últimos años han proliferado valiosos textos sobre los pueblos del Darién y, particularmente, sobre el desafío territorial que esta provincia colonial representó para la Corona española. Desde la década del ochenta, se ha publicado una rica literatura sobre el rol de los ingenieros militares en las reformas de la monarquía española para controlar sus “posesiones de ultramar”. En ese marco, el Diario del reconocimiento del golfo e istmo del Darién, firmado por el ingeniero Antonio de Arévalo en 1761, ha sido usualmente usado y citado. Por un camino distinto, dando continuidad a los temas del Nuevo Atlas Histórico Marítimo, siglos XVI a XVIII, de Nara Fuentes Crispín (ICANH 2022), la presente edición facsimilar de la misma autora aborda el estudio de dos aspectos inexplorados: la naturaleza retórica y la composición lingüística del diario de Arévalo, en particular, y de los diarios de navegación de cabotaje, en general, en el devenir del pensamiento geográfico de los siglos XVII y XVIII, sus modos de describir el espacio y sus cartografías.

Published: August 2023

In many organizations, especially those dealing with services, customer satisfaction is considered a challenge (Pula, 2022). The study is grounded in the theory of customer satisfaction and service quality. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between service quality at local independent auditing firms and customer satisfaction. Between September and October 2022, the general accounting and chief accounting departments will be surveyed. There were 250 respondents in the data collection, based on exploratory factor analysis, linear regression, correlation analysis, and scale reliability analysis. According to the study, client happiness and service quality at local independent auditing firms are positively correlated. The effects of the service quality at the component level, however, vary. The findings of the study imply that clients should choose local independent auditing firms that provide high-quality services. There are some suggestions on how to enhance the caliber of their services and the growth of this industry in Vietnam. The study advances our knowledge of local independent auditing firms’ levels of service quality.
The Relationships between Current Ratio, Firm Age, Good Corporate Governance, and Corporate Social Responsibility: The Moderating Effects of Firm Size
Authors: Digdowiseiso Kumba
Published: August 2023

Few studies have explored how firm size moderates the effect of the current ratio, firm age, and good corporate governance on corporate social responsibility. This research examined the effect of current ratio, firm age, and good corporate governance on corporate social responsibility. It explored the moderating effects of firm size on the relationships between current ratio, firm age, and good corporate governance on corporate social responsibility among mining sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. Purposive sampling was used to select 17 different mining firms that met the study's criteria. By applying a moderated regression analysis, the results indicated a negative and statistically insignificant relationship between the current ratio and corporate social responsibility. Corporate social responsibility was positively affected by the maturity of the company and by its commitment to ethical business practices. Meanwhile, there was an inverse relationship between firm size and corporate social responsibility. Furthermore, firm size did not affect the relationship between the current ratio and corporate social responsibility, nor the relationship between firm age and corporate social responsibility. This study revealed that firm size weakened the link between good corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
Is peyote Lophophora diffusa (Croizat) Bravo (Cactaceae) a species destined for extinction? A population dynamics approach
Authors: Díaz-Segura Omar , Sierra Cecilia Jiménez , Matias-Palafox Maria , Pérez Erika Arroyo
Published: August 2023

Lophophora diffusa (Cactaceae) –an endangered species– known as
peyote or peyote queretano– is of great ecological relevance because of
its medicinal and ornamental use by native peoples and collectors.
Little is known about the population of this species and no strategies
exist for their use since its cultivation and usage is prohibited in
Mexico. Thus, the objective of the present research is to describe
population dynamics in a locality of the state of Querétaro, México. For
this purpose, 380 individuals were followed through four annual and one
quinquennial censuses. From these data, the population structure was
determined, including the finite population growth rate (λ), stable size
structure, reproductive value, relative importance of size categories
and demographic processes (permanence, growth, and fecundity) for each
period by using transition matrixes. Moreover, future population
estimations were performed, showing scarcity of seedlings and adult
plants of greater size, where λ indicates a population decline that
oscillates between 2 and 20%. The most important demographic process
was survival, where the adult 2 category resulted essential. The
projections indicate that the population may disappear in a period of
less than 50 years. Therefore, the proposal is to revise the Mexican
legislation to allow a regulated cultivation with the purpose of
protecting the wild populations of the species and its habitat.

Purpose Although monoclonal antibodies specific to the severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are known,
information about the B-cell receptor (BCR) repertoire and its change in
patients during COVID-19 disease progression is underreported.
Methods We used immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) variable
region (IGHV) spectratyping and next-generation sequencing of peripheral
blood B-cell genomic DNA collected at multiple time points during
disease evolution to study B-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 infection in 14
individuals with acute COVID-19. Results We found a broad
distribution of responding B-cell clones. The IGH gene usage was not
significantly skewed but frequencies of individual IGH genes changed
repeatedly. We found predominant usage of unmutated and low
mutation-loaded IGHV rearrangements characterizing naïve and
extrafollicular B-cells among the majority of expanded peripheral B-cell
clonal lineages at most tested time points in most patients. IGH
rearrangement usage showed no apparent relation to anti-SARS-CoV-2
antibody titers. Some patients demonstrated mono/oligoclonal populations
carrying highly mutated IGHV rearrangements indicating antigen
experience at some of the time points tested, including even before
anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected. Conclusion We present
evidence demonstrating that the B-cell response to SARS-CoV-2 is
individual and includes different lineages of B-cells at various time
points during COVID-19 progression.
Building hope for treatment of narcissistic personality disorder
Authors: Weinberg Igor
Published: August 2023

Historically, patients suffering from pathological narcissism, including
narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), were considered challenging and
hard to treat. Since the second half of the 20th century new treatments
have been developing heralding a growing hope that transformative
treatment of patients with pathological narcissism is possible. Recent
developments of phenomenology, childhood antecedents, longitudinal
course, and putative mechanisms inspired a greater hope as well. This
invites clinicians and researchers to take an approach that is
evidence-based, destigmatizing, and collaborative that considers that at
least some of the treatment challenges as co-created by both the
therapist and the patient. Further, new treatments add hope by
ameliorating such challenges of patients with pathological narcissism as
fragile alliance, limitations of reflectiveness and grieving. Novel
treatments are evidence- and principles-based and different approaches
to effective treatment development are described. Inspired by these
developments in the field, this Issue of the Journal of Clinical
Psychology: In Session was conceived as an opportunity for clinicians
from different treatment approaches to come together and share their
experiences in treating patients with pathological narcissism. The hope
is to find common language to understand these patients and their
treatment, understand what contributes to change, as well as learn from
commonalities and differences among these treatments. In doing so, this
Issue is hoping to promote destigmatizing, pragmatic approach that
prioritizes evidence-based efforts to understand the patient and
collaborative approach to promoting change.
Kinetics-based development of two-stage continuous fermentation of 1,3-propanediol from glycerol by Clostridium butyricum
Authors: Xiu Zhi-Long , Wang Xiao-Li , sun yaqin , Pan Duo-Tao
Published: August 2023

Continuous fermentation has many striking merits over fed-batch and
batch fermentation, such as easy operation and long-term high
productivity without frequent seed culture and energy-intensive
sterilization. However, it is usually difficult to harvest high product
concentrations. In this study, a three-stage continuous fermentation was
firstly designed to produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from crude
glycerol by Clostridium butyricum, in which the first stage
fermentation was responsible for providing the excellent cells in a
robust growth state, the second stage focused on promoting 1,3-PDO
production, and the third stage aimed to further boost the 1,3-PDO
concentration and reduce the residual glycerol concentration as much as
possible. Through the three-stage continuous fermentation, 80.05 g/L
1,3-PDO as the maximum concentration was produced while maintaining
residual glycerol of 5.87 g/L, achieving a yield of 0.48 g/g and a
productivity of 3.67 g/(L·h). Based on the 14 sets of experimental data
from the first stage, a kinetic model was developed to describe the
intricate relationships among the concentrations of 1,3-PDO, substrate,
biomass and butyrate. Subsequently, this kinetic model was used to
optimize and predict the highest 1,3-PDO productivity of 11.26 g/(L·h)
in the first stage fermentation, while the glycerol feeding
concentration and dilution rate were determined to be 92 g/L and 0.34 h
, separately. Additionally, to achieve a target
1,3-PDO production of 80 g/L without the third stage fermentation, the
predicted minimum volume ratio of the second fermenter to the first one
was 11.9. The kinetics-based two-stage continuous fermentation was
experimentally verified well with the predicted results. This
kinetics-based development of continuous fermentation provides an
effective tool for other bio-chemicals production by continuous
fermentation.
Born with Two Faces: Epstein–Barr virus and TET2 in Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma and Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma
Authors: Li Qing , Dai Shishuo , Liu Weiping , Wu Yu
Published: August 2023

There may be significant histopathological overlap between Epstein–Barr
virus (EBV) -positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and other
diagnoses, including angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Herein,
we report a rare case of EBV-positive AITL developing two years after
the initial diagnosis of EBV-positive DLBCL. Histone deacetylase (HDAC)
inhibitor, chidamide, in combination with COEP (cyclophosphamide,
vindesine, etoposide, prednisone) were administrated to treat AITL,
which appeared to prolong the survival of patient. Next-generation
sequencing (NGS) was used to study the possible mechanisms by which this
patient developed AITL after DLBCL. NGS revealed that TET2 mutated in
both DLBCL and AITL. When EBV-positive DLBCL patients with the TET2
mutation, it is necessary to beware of lymphoma recurrence and note that
it may be completely different from the previous type. Our case suggests
that chidamide plus COEP may be a treatment option for AITL after DLBCL
and may prolong patient survival, but this requires a larger sample size
to confirm.

Published: August 2023

Integral identities created in inequality theory studies help to prove many
inequalities. Recently, different fractional integral and derivative
operators have been used to achieve these identities. In this article, with
the help of Atangana-Baleanu integral operators, an integral identity was
first obtained and various integral inequalities for convex functions have
been proved using this identity. In the last part of the article, various
simulation graphs are given to reveal the consistency of Atangana-Baleanu
fractional integral operators and Riemann-Liouville fractional integral
operators for different ? values. The prominent motivating idea in this work
is to obtain new and general form integral inequalities with the help of
fractional integral operators with strong kernel structure.
Triple nerve transfers for the management of early unilateral facial palsy
Authors: Telich-Tarriba Jose E. , Navarro-Barquin David F. , Pineda-Aldana Genesis , Cardenas-Mejia Alexander
Published: August 2023

Background: Early onset facial paralysis is usually managed with cross-face nerve grafts, however the low number of axons that reach the target muscle may result in weakness or failure. Multiple-source innervation, or ‘supercharging’, seeks to combine the advantages of different donor nerves while minimizing their weaknesses. We propose a combination of cross-face nerve grafts with local extra-facial nerve transfers to achieve earlier facial reanimation in our patients.Methods: A retrospective cohort including all patients with early unilateral facial palsy (<12 months evolution) who underwent triple nerve transfer between 2019 and 2021 was conducted. We performed single-stage procedure including zygomatic-to-zygomatic and buccal-to-buccal cross-face grafts, a nerve-to-masseter to bucozygomatic trunk transfer, and a mini-hypoglossal to marginal branch transfer. Results were evaluated using the clinician-graded facial function scale (eFACE).Results: Fifteen patients were included (eight females, seven males), mean age at the time of surgery was 48.9 ± 13.3 years. Palsy was right-sided in eight cases. The mean time from palsy onset to surgery was 5.5 ± 2.8 months. Patients showed improvement in static (70.8 ± 21.9 vs. 84.15 ± 6.68, p = 0.002) and dynamic scores (20 ± 16.32 vs. 74.23 ± 7.46, p < 0.001), as well as periocular (57.33 ± 15.23 vs. 74 ± 7.18, p = 0.007), smile (54.73 ± 11.93 vs. 85.62 ± 3.86, p < 0.001), mid-face (46.33 ± 18.04 vs. 95 ± 7.21, p < 0.001) and lower face scores (67.4 ± 1.55 vs. 90.31 ± 7.54, p < 0.001).Conclusion: The triple nerve transfer technique using cross-face nerve grafts, the nerve-to-masseter, and the hypoglossal nerve, is an effective and reproducible technique to obtain middle and lower face reanimation in cases of early facial palsy.

Scenario Planning of Islamic Banking Industry Development in Indonesia
Authors: Perbawa Graha Anggar , Sunitiyoso Yos
Published: August 2023

Islamic banking has become known in Indonesia since the operation of Bank Muamalat Indonesia, which was initiated by the Association of Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals (ICMI), the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI) and the government, in 1992. The large number of Islamic banking players existing now in fact does not automatically boost the growth of the market share of Islamic banking assets to total bank’s assets in Indonesia. Islamic banking had experienced a trap of 5% market share for quite a long time before finally being able to pass it in 2016 and reached 7,03% in August 2022. The purpose of this study is to provide strategy through scenario planning for the development of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia so that it can add insight and alternatives for all relevant stakeholders. This research will use a qualitative research methodology that uses primary data and secondary data. Scenario planning is developed based on the results of an analysis of the driving forces which are considered as critical uncertainties. The driving forces themselves are obtained based on the results of an analysis using the Porter's 5 Forces framework, PESTEL and SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis to find out its relevancy. These driving forces were then discussed through in-depth interviews with respondents to determine which were the most critical (Critical Uncertainties). Two critical uncertainties defined during this study are Government and Regulations Support as well as Prices and Services. Four (4) scenarios are built using those two critical uncertainties following the scenario planning methodology. The scenarios are called Fast and Furious, Imperfect, The Survivor, and The Skyfall.

The global movement for a cleaner energy environment has continuously grown and has become unstoppable. It causes the large carbon-producing sectors, such as the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry, to be under intense pressure to immediately reduce their carbon footprint and to immediately produce cleaner energy sources. Therefore, the business players involved, such as the O&G services industry, need to make the urgent decision to reassess its current business strategy. However, to make the right decision, it needs to have a forward-looking scenario of how the industry will evolve in the middle of the cleaner energy transition era. In this situation, scenario planning becomes essential, as it provides a valuable tool to analyze potential future dynamics regarding the dynamics of the O&G landscape, what drives them, and the impacts they may have. In this research, the researcher developed scenario planning based on the interview involving Indonesia's O&G stakeholders, such as the representative of O&G services companies, operators, regulatory bodies (ESDM and SKK Migas), and energy analyst.
The result of scenario planning indicates four possible scenarios for Indonesia's O&G industry in the future, resulting from the interplay between Indonesia's Government Regulation, Incentive / Tax Regimes, with Technological Advancement. These scenarios are Laggard in Cleaner Energy Transition, Vanguard in Cleaner Energy Transition, Stagnation in Cleaner Energy Transition, and Revolution in Cleaner Energy Transition. In the end, the author proposed a business strategy that fits each scenario. The proposed strategy focuses on reassessing the investment scheme, core competencies, strategic partnership, business model, and organization cultures and identity. Thus, by implementing this strategy, the O&G Services industry is expected to thrive, regardless of whichever scenario happens in the future.

This study aims to evaluate the nutritional quality of pineapple peel silage with the addition of various carbohydrate sources, namely corn flour, cassava waste, and rice bran. The research used a completely randomized design method with 5 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments are (P0 = 100% pineapple peel; P1 = 70% pineapple peel + 30% corn flour; P2 = 70% pineapple peel + 30% cassava waste; P3 = 70% pineapple peel + 30% rice bran; P4 = 70% pineapple peel + 10% corn flour + 10% rice bran + 10% cassava waste) with the addition of molasses for each treatment as much as 5%. Parameters observed were the nutritional quality of pineapple peel silage including CP%, CF%, DM%, ash (%), and CF%, levels of NDF (%) and ADF (%). The results showed that the difference in carbohydrate source material had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the nutrient content of the pineapple peel silage produced. It can be concluded that the addition of corn flour at a 30% level to pineapple peel silage improves the overall nutritional quality as seen from the increase in crude protein and crude fat as well as a decrease in crude fiber, NDF, and ADF content

The phenomenon of extreme weather events as a result of the impact of climate change can cause threats to agricultural systems, including soybean (Glycine max L.). Soybean is the main source of vegetable protein, which is sensitive and vulnerable to climate change. Therefore, research has been carried out through the identification analysis of changes in extreme weather events and analyzed for their correlation with soybean crops in Garut Regency to determine the effect of extreme weather elements on soybean production. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative, using trend analysis on extreme weather with data on extreme weather elements such as maximum rainfall, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, wet spell, dry spell, the largest wind speed, and trend analysis on soybean production and productivity. Data for the research were obtained from BUTPAAG LAPAN Garut Regency, Garut Regency Agriculture Office, and other related sources. The correlation analysis used is the Pearson correlation with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that climate change impacts extreme weather changes in the Garut Regency area, with increasing extreme weather trends. However, extreme weather changes were not significantly correlated with soybean production. In this research, only the maximum rainfall and the largest wind speed were significantly correlated with soybean productivity.Keywords: correlation analysis, trend analysis, extreme weather, Garut regency, soybean production.

Published: August 2023

Crystal guava (Psidium guajava var. 'Crystal') fruit is in great demand because of its delicious taste and high nutritional content. Storage aims to prevent postharvest damage to the fruit. However, storage that is too long causes morphological damage and decreased nutrients. This study aims to determine the effect of storage duration, fruit ripeness stage and the interaction between both factors on vitamin C and total soluble solids (TSS) content of crystal guava, and determine which treatment can produce the highest vitamin C and TSS. Fruits harvested simultaneously with three levels of ripeness based on the skin color: unripe fruit is dark green, ripe is light green, very ripe is yellowish green. Samples selected based on the same weight range. Storage was carried out for 0, 5, and 10 days at ± 10oC. The study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with a 3x3 factorial pattern with two factors: storage duration and fruit ripeness level. Parameters observed were vitamin C, TSS, weight loss, diameter shrinkage, skin color and hardness. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and DMRT. Both treatments showed an interaction on vitamin C content. The best treatment was unripe fruit stored for ten days with 14.955 ppm of vitamin C. Both treatments did not show any interaction on TSS content. The best treatment was five days storage with TSS of 8.25 °Brix and very ripe fruit of 8.21 °Brix. Based on vitamin C, TSS content, and physical condition variables, the best guava fruit is unripe fruit stored for 10 days.Keywords: color, postharvest, physical, quality, softening

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is widely planted on marginal land with low soil fertility. During the initial growth phase, cassava often loses competition against weeds. Legume cover crops are widely used to increase soil fertility, prevent erosion, and suppress weeds. This study aimed to determine the effect of Arachis pintoi bio-mulch application time on the growth and yield of cassava. This study was conducted using a factorial randomized block design. The first factor was four cassava accessions: Ketan Malang, Genjah Bayam, IR Jonggol, and Mangu. The second factor was six levels of bio-mulch planting time: manual weeding (without bio-mulch applications), bio-mulch planting at the same time as cassava planting, and four, eight, and twelve weeks before cassava planting. The observations included plant height, stem diameter, number of tubers, tuber weight, tuber length, plant biomass, dry matter, and productivity. The results showed that all cassava accessions responded similarly to the planting time of A. pintoi bio-mulch. Different bio-mulch application time was insignificant in the cassava growth, except for the number of tubers and tuber diameter. The twelve weeks before cassava planting tends to reduce the results of cassava accessions.Keywords: Arachis pintoi, cover crop, dry land, growth, yield

It is necessary to redevelop cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) commodity due to the decrease of cacao planting areas in Indonesia since the last decade. One of the ways is by providing a growing medium to produce cacao seedlings with good quality, such as by adding ameliorant i.e., oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) biochar to marginal soil of Ultisols. This research aimed to study and obtain the best OPEFB biochar dose to improve the chemical properties of Ultisols and the growth of cacao seedlings. This research was conducted in the Experimental Field of the 3rd Campus Andalas University from August 2021 until February 2022 using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 5 treatments of OPEFB biochar (0, 60, 90, 120, 150 tons/ha) and 4 replications, each experimental unit consisted of two plants, so that 40 plants were prepared in total. Data obtained were analyzed using F Distribution Test at 5% and further analyzed using Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) for statistically significant results. The results showed that the application of OPEFB biochar at 120 tons/ha was the best dose to give significant results on the chemical properties of Ultisols (pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium) and several growth variables of cacao seedlings (stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width, shoot dry weight, and shoot-root ratio).Keywords: ameliorant, biochar, nursery, oil palm empty fruit bunch, Ultisols

The imbalance of nutrients and heavy metal contamination is a challenge in increasing plant growth surround the textile industry area. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the dosage of Biologically Agent N Organo Mineral Fertilizer (Biomix-N) as a fertilizer and an ameliorant in paddy soil contaminated with textile liquid waste. This study used a randomized block design of eight treatments with four replications. Parameters observed were soil chemical properties after application of Biomix-N (Na-ex, total N, EC, Cd, and pH), rice plant growth (plant height and tiller number), Cd concentration in the plant, and relative agronomic effectiveness (RAE). Data analysis used analysis of variance, Duncan's test at a 5% level, regression, and correlation analysis. The results showed that Biomix-N 500 kg ha-1 affected the value of EC and total N, while it did not affect Na-ex, Cd, pH and Cd uptake by the paddy plant. Biomix-N fertilization affects the height and number of tillers of rice plants at the age of 70 DAP. Biomix-N fertilization 500 kg ha-1 gave an RAE value of 126-176% compared to the control treatment. The total N content of the soil has a high value of coefficient determinant and correlation (R2= 0.76; R = 0.9) on the growth of rice plants. Applying Biomix-N 500 kg ha-1 equal to 300 kg ha-1 of urea was an effective dose for paddy soil surround the textile industrial area.Keywords: Cadmium, nutrient balance, soil amendment
