Effects of Locust Bean Pod (Parkia Biglobosa) Extract on Workability and Strength of Concrete
Authors: Vordoagu J. J. , Boateng K. A. 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Predominantly in the northern part of Ghana and other neighbouring West African countries, the Locust Bean Pod Extract (LBPE), known for its adhesive and cohesive properties, has enjoyed high patronage in its incorporation in various traditional construction formulations, especially in the production of clay floor tiles and bricks for some time now. To justify the material’s continual use, this paper explored the impact of the LBPE on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete.
Design/Methodology/Approach: LBPE was obtained by soaking the pods in 10g per litre of water for different extraction periods. Based on LBPE replacement percentages and soaking durations, 469 concrete cubes were formed from 9 different concrete mixes. The slumps for the various mixes and the strength of hardened concrete were tested after curing durations of 7 days to 28 days.
Findings: The experimental results revealed that LBPE enhanced the strength of concrete and gave it more workable mixes than concrete made with ordinary water. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis on the control indicates the presence of Oligoclase, whilst the LBPE samples indicate the presence of Albite. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis revealed the differences in element composition of both the control and LBPE samples. LBPE extraction at 4 days and 75% LBPE replacement of water achieved 54.67% more 28-day strength and over 21% more workability than the control. Fourier Transform Infrared results indicate that tannins are the primary functional element in LBPE.
Research Limitations: This study established that replacing water with LBPE significantly improves the workability and strength of concrete. The extraction at 4 days and 75% water replacement with LBPE yielded optimum results.
Practical implications: This study provides a sustainable and low-cost solution to the mutually exclusive problem of increasing concrete workability and strength.
Social Implication: This study will assist practising engineers in dealing with the issue of artisans increasing the water-cement ratio of mixes to obtain workable mixes, which results in weak concrete strength and subsequent failure of concrete structures
Originality/ Value: This original experimental laboratory study addresses the problem of artisans using too much water to mix concrete to ensure workable mixes.

Authors: Augusta de Souza Bronstein Caroline , Moschini-Carlos Viviane 
Published: December 2024

The incidence of cyanobacterial blooms in reservoirs intended for human supply represents a serious health risk due to the ability of these organisms to produce cyanotoxins. The study aimed to collect and summarize information related to variables associated with eutrophication of water sources of the Sorocaba River basin (São Paulo, Brazil). The objective was to assess the occurrence of cyanotoxins in treated water supplied to approximately 800,000 people. The study analyzed data from different abstraction, treatment, and distribution stations, emphasizing the supply from the Itupararanga and Ipanema dams, as well as the Sorocaba River. Data were obtained from the Drinking Water Quality Surveillance Information System (SISAGUA), the Autonomous Water and Sewage Service (SAAE), and the Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (CETESB). A total of 4719 data points for cyanobacteria, chlorophyll-a, and cyanotoxins were analyzed between 2014 and 2021. The results indicate a deterioration in the trophic state of the Sorocaba River and the Itupararanga Dam, revealing a correlation between cyanobacteria and saxitoxins, with a predominance of the genus Raphidiopsis. A microcystin concentration of 0.40 µg l-1 was recorded at the Itupararanga Dam in treated water.

Guru Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini yang memiliki kompetensi pembelajaran yang berorientasi pada perkembangan siswa (pedagogy), diperlukan juga kompetensi dalam penyelenggaraan program parenting (andragogy). Hal itu dikarenakan umumnya program parenting yang dilakukan dengan metode sosialisasi atau pengayaan pengetahuan saja, akan tetapi tidak mendasar pada proses membangun harapan dan menyajikan pengalaman dalam bentuk dialog. Pada konteks ini tujuan parenting perlu menyajikan harapan yang terbuka mengenai kesulitan yang dihadapi oleh orang tua, agar kemudian dapat tumbuh resiliensi saat menghadapi kesulitan dikarenakan melalui kegiatan reflektif dipercaya dapat menumbuhkan resiliensi sesorang. Meskipun demikian, untuk mecapai tujuan tersebut diperlukan guru yang terampil dalam mengelola program parenting dengan pendekatan reflektif. Untuk itu direalisasikan peningkatan kompetensi budaya reflektif guru PAUD dalam program parenting dengan metode workshop 5 tahapan. Pada prosesnya, guru PAUD juga diberikan kompetensi untuk mengelola platform digital untuk memudahkan proses refleksi yang berkelanjutan. Adapun hasil dari implementasi penerapan pendekatan reflektif pada parenting yang akan dilaksakan guru PAUD diantaranya, 1) Guru memiliki strategi menerapkan refleksi pada program parenting, 2) Guru mampu mengelola platform digital parenting, dan 3) Guru meyakini dapat melakukan tindaklanjut pada program parenting yang akan diselenggarakan di satuan pendidikan masing-masing.

Early Childhood Education Teachers who have learning competencies that are oriented towards student development (pedagogy), also need competency in implementing parenting programs (andragogy). In general, parenting programs are carried out using socialization or knowledge enrichment methods only, but are not based on the process of building hope and presenting experiences in the form of dialogue. In this context, parenting goals need to present open expectations regarding the difficulties faced by parents, so that resilience can then grow when facing difficulties. Reflective activities are believed to foster a person's resilience. However, to achieve this goal requires teachers who are skilled in managing parenting programs with a reflective approach. For this reason, it is realized to increase the reflective cultural competence of PAUD teachers in parenting programs using the workshop method. In the process, PAUD teachers are also given the competency to manage digital platforms to facilitate a continuous reflection process. The results of the implementation of the reflective approach to parenting that PAUD teachers will carry out include, 1) Teachers have strategies for implementing reflection in parenting programs, 2) Teachers are able to manage digital parenting platforms, 3) Teachers believe they can carry out follow-up on parenting programs that will be held in each school.

Cow manure is an underutilized resource among farmers. Generally, farmers address cow manure waste by discarding it into rivers or burning it. Both practices can lead to complex environmental problems. Thus, solutions are needed to manage this issue by transforming cow manure into valuable products. One solution involves processing cow manure into organic fertilizer using a substance called Ni35, which accelerates the decomposition of solid cow manure into usable compost. The method used in this community engagement project includes outreach, training, and monitoring, along with evaluating the production process and testing the fertilizer's effects on plants such as water spinach and chili. The results of this initiative show that participants were highly enthusiastic about the activities and successfully produced compost with competitive quality comparable to conventional commercial fertilizers.

Published: December 2024

The phenomenon of money politics often appears in the electoral process in Indonesia. This behavior can undoubtedly influence the selection of legislative candidates by voters. The influence of money is a significant issue in political affairs. The rise of money politics during elections has made people consider this behavior an integral aspect of Indonesia's political culture. The practice of money politics is fundamentally against the principles of democracy, as the people's vote is the ultimate sovereignty, leading to adverse political competition. This study aims to prevent and explain the practice of money politics that often occurs in elections. The research findings show that there are several variables that contribute to the rampant practice of money politics. This creates opportunities for legislative candidates in elections to secure votes. The findings of this study indicate that money politics behavior can endanger the democratic system in Indonesia if it becomes prevalent, making the public prioritize the financial resources of legislative candidates over their competence among legislative candidates in ensuring election votes. Despite regulations prohibiting money politics outlined in Article 515 of Law Number 7 Year 2017 on Elections, the prevalence of such practices in most Indonesian communities cannot be denied. This is of course influenced by a variety of causative factors, including
