Authors: Rataichesck Fiates Julia , Ghisi Enedir 
Published: October 2024

Introducing energy efficiency techniques in schools can significantly reduce energy consumption, as Brazil has a large public education system. The main objective of this work was to select the set of construction components with the lowest environmental impact for use in schools in Florianópolis, southern Brazil, through life cycle assessment (LCA). Two types of walls, four types of roofs, and two types of window frames were studied. Ceramic bricks measuring 14x9x19cm and 9x19x19cm were considered for the walls. Wood and aluminium were used for the window frames, with single glass panes on all windows. For the roofs, fibre cement tiles with a PVC ceiling, a drywall ceiling, and a concrete slab were considered, as well as ceramic tiles with a PVC ceiling. Computer simulations were conducted using the EnergyPlus program in order to determine the building’s energy consumption. SimaPro was used to run the LCA. The construction of the building and one year of its energy consumption were analysed to select the combination of components with the lowest impact on the building’s life cycle. Finally, the set consisting of 9x19x19cm ceramic brick walls, wooden frames, and roof with fibre cement tiles and PVC ceiling presented the lowest environmental impact.

The Dynamics of Technological Spectacle in Billy Mitchell's Campaign for Aerial War
Authors: Firgens Benjamin 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This essay examines the first major American debate over aerial warfare as a case study in the relationship between visual spectacle and warfighting technologies. In the early 1920s, Brigadier General William “Billy” Mitchell mounted a short but intense advocacy campaign to win public approval for a standalone and fully supported air force. He justified his arguments with sanitized depictions of the warplane's idealized deployment. I call such depictions technological spectacles, and I parse their three hallmarks in Mitchell's advocacy: the dissociation of violence and destruction, the self-justification of technology, and the confusion of possibility for probability. I demonstrate that these habits of spectacle pervaded not only Mitchell's rhetoric but the coverage he received in the press. The essay establishes Mitchell as a key figure in the history of American rhetoric about military technology and, in the process, offers new historical context and critical vocabulary for diagnosing rhetorics of technological spectacle.
Black Women's Rights-Blurring Strategies in a Culture of Rights Discrimination
Authors: Gent Whitney 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article examines the case of Moms 4 Housing, a group of Black mothers who occupied a vacant house in Oakland, California as an attempt to advance a human right to housing. It argues that the U.S. penchant for rights discrimination, the idea that one must choose between whose and which rights matter, contributes to the need for a rhetorical strategy of rights-blurring. Building on previous scholarship that establishes a history of Black women connecting civil rights to human rights as a rhetorical strategy in the United States, this article explains how rights-blurring actually operates. It also demonstrates how this strategy functions in conversations about property rights in the United States and in the context of a twenty-first century direct-action protest.

As the guardian of food security as well as the pillar of national economy, the agricultural sector has gone through many changes thanks to digitalization. Millennial farmers are expected to have the ability to transform the agricultural system from conventional to contemporary agriculture that farmers should also be competent agripreneurs. This research aimed to examine the readiness of millennial farmers to cope with disruption as well as to analyze their regeneration in realizing agripreneurship for sustainable agricultural development. This research was conducted during August-December 2022 in Bantul and Klaten Regency by applying a critical constructivism approach to farmer informants, extension workers and other related stakeholders. Data was collected through observation, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. The results indicated that: Becoming resilient millennial farmers in facing the digitalization of agricultural system was done by transforming technology and social media, as well as commodifying agricultural products from food crops to horticultural crops and even extending to the livestock subsector. Networking can also shape millennial farmers with competent agripreneurship. The choice to work in horticulture farming and livestock sub-sectors further strengthens the position of millennial farmers. Following this success can cause social transformation, which can also change the stigma, values, and mindset of the farmer's society. The existence of millennial farmer groups can be positioned as an image medium for the agricultural sector. Millennial farmers can be placed as an image to change the mindset of farmers towards the agricultural sector, and they can be a bridge for senior farmers to see market opportunities for agricultural products. And in the end, agriculture is seen as a business unit, not just a job to fulfill family food needs.

Introducción: En el escenario de restricciones sociales para detener la propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2 se produjeron cambios en los hábitos de vida y alimentación de las poblaciones de todo el mundo. Objetivo: Evaluar los hábitos alimentarios asociados al trabajo remoto durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Metodología: Estudio transversal con trabajadores activos del ELSA-Brasil, durante la colecta de datos nombrada Ola-COVID (julio, 2020 a febrero, 2021). Los datos se recopilaron en línea a través de cuestionarios autoaplicados. Para los hábitos alimentarios se tuvieron como variables dependientes el aumento en la adquisición de alimentos ultraprocesados; el aumento en la adquisición de alimentos in natura; la puntuación de calidad de la alimentación; el uso semanal de comida rápida a domicilio; el cambio en la preparación de alimentos. La variable de exposición fue la modalidad de trabajo (remoto o presencial). Para el análisis estadístico, se utilizó SPSS 21.0, con significancia de p < 0,05. Resultados: Se evaluaron 2463 personas (44 a 83 años de edad), de las cuales, el 78 % se encontraba trabajando de forma remota. Después del ajuste de las variables, los cambios en la preparación de los alimentos se mantuvieron asociados con el trabajo remoto, es decir, tanto los hombres (OR = 2,45 IC95 % 1,75-3,42) como las mujeres (OR = 2,93 IC95 % 2,19-3,92) tuvieron mayores posibilidades de cocinar. No se observó diferencia entre la puntuación de la calidad de los alimentos y el tipo de trabajo. Sin embargo, cuando se evaluó la puntuación de la calidad de alimentos, a mayor frecuencia semanal de pedidos de comida rápida a domicilio, peor fue la calidad de la alimentación. Conclusiones: Las personas que trabajaban remotamente durante el COVID-19 implementaron cambios en la preparación de los alimentos, en especial, una mayor probabilidad de cocinar. No se halló una asociación permanente entre los demás hábitos alimentarios evaluados y la modalidad de trabajo.

Proteases, that are able to hydrolyze the peptide bonds in proteins and polypeptides, occupy a key position in diverse fields, such as food, agriculture, animal feed. Considering the increasing demand for microbial proteases, identification of new way for improving the productivity of producers is of great importance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a new coordination compound [Fe(H2L)(H2O)2](NO3)3∙2.5H2O (where H2L = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(picolinoylhydrazone)) on the activity of proteolytic complex synthesized by the micromycete Fusarium gibbosum CNMN FD 12 under the submerged fermentations in shake flask, as well as in lab-scale fermenter. It was found that [Fe(H2L)(H2O)2](NO3)3∙2.5H2O exerts a significant positive effect on proteolytic activity in F. gibbosum CNMN FD 12 both in flasks and bioreactor and can be used as stimulator and regulator of proteases activity. By varying the concentration of the coordination compound and the duration of cultivation, it is possible to obtain proteolytic complexes enriched in different types of proteases (acid, neutral or alkaline), depending on the practical needs.

Wheat and maize are two of the most dominant crops of considerable importance in human nutrition. At the same time, agriculture is responsible for about 1/3 of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study is to estimate the carbon footprint of the two aforementioned important crops in the region of Larissa, Greece. Under this context, the emitted CO2eq- per kg of product, the corresponding emissions per hectare and per g of harvested plant protein were estimated. The carbon footprint was measured using the CoolFarm Tool (Cool Farm Alliance). Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews with local farmers. According to the results, the carbon footprint per hectare in maize (2,979 kg CO2eq- ha-1) is significantly higher compared to wheat (1,090 kg CO2eq- ha-1). In contrast, the differences in the footprints per kilogram of product and per g of harvested protein were insignificant. Tillage was found to be the main factor increasing CO2eq- emissions in both crops. In this research work we demonstrated that tillage regimes are crucial for mitigating agricultural related GHG emissions.

Published: October 2024

This research was driven by the need for sustainable and efficient farming, productivity, and market expansion. This study mapped the industrial potato value chain, identified key stakeholders and their responsibilities, and assessed value chain linkages. This case study employed purposive sampling. The industrial potato value chain includes input suppliers, producers, processors, traders, and consumers, according to the research. Agricultural entrepreneurs are vital to the industrial potato value chain. He chose the Sharazur Plain, Kalar City, and Penjwin districts of Sulaimani Governorate in Iraq's Kurdistan Region for industrial potato production. Additionally, the entrepreneur has entered into agreements with Green Iraq Company as a processor, input supplier, and a chain supporter of the industrial potato value chain. The company has a significant role in enhancing producers to produce industrial potatoes, Lay's Chips is manufactured by a company in Sulaimani governorate/Bazian region. The study demonstrates that the implementation of contractual agreements may lead to a win-win situation for all parties involved. This reduces the farmer's risk by promoting cultivation and guaranteeing the firm has enough raw materials for processing. According to this study, universities, research centers, and agricultural departments have no role in the industrial potato value chain.

Published: October 2024

Drought is widely recognized as the most severe environmental danger to horticulture in almost all regions across the globe. The objective of this study was to determine if applying a foliar treatment of salicylic acid (SA) at 400 ppm could mitigate the negative effects of drought on Petunia grandiflora. Four experimental variants were implemented for this purpose, with regular watering or moderate drought conditions. These variants were observed for duration of 14 days. The level of photosynthetic pigments was markedly greater in the samples exposed to drought but treated with foliar SA, in comparison to the samples exposed to drought without any treatment (128.28±8.78 and 38.01±1.15 µg/g total chlorophyll (a+b), respectively). The total polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of both the leaves and flowers of Petunia were assessed. The polyphenols content was significantly reduced by drought. However, following the application of SA, anthocyanin levels increased in comparison to the sample that had been subjected to drought.The results demonstrate that applying SA to the leaves mitigates the adverse impacts of drought, providing a solution to the issue of water scarcity in ornamental plants, particularly Petunia grandiflora.

Inserting orthopedic screws into a hole that is too small can produce excessive mechanical forces that cause osteocyte death and difficulty carrying out bone repair processes. The aim of the study was to evaluate the osseointegration of titanium screws 6 weeks after their insertion into the femur of male rabbits, in any smaller than the screw core. The study was conducted on 5 male rabbits aged 1 year with orthopedic titanium screws with a length of 5 mm, a diameter of 2 mm and a diameter of a screw core of 1.5 mm. The screws were inserted into the diaphysis of the femoral bone, into the hole with a diameter of 1 mm. After 6 weeks of insertion of the screws, the presence of newly proliferated tissues is found throughout the interface, but with differences from one area to another. In conclusion, the insertion of titanium screws into the hole with a diameter smaller than the screw core is accompanied by good bone proliferation in the periosteal and endosteal areas of the interface and is exceptionally modest on the portion next to the diaphyseal bone wall.

The main consequence of climate change on temperature is global warming. Over the past century, worldwide temperature has increased, rising by about 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit every year. Rising temperature negatively affects morphology, physiology, and yield of crops. Over the last 5 years, agriculture production in Pakistan affected due to temperature increase. Pakistan is an agriculture based developing country. About 2.2% GDP of Pakistan depends on wheat crop which is 1st major cereal crop and ranked as staple food. Nutritionally it provides proteins, dietary fibers, carbohydrates, calcium, and other important compounds but because of the harmful effects of a high temperature, yield of wheat crop in Pakistan has reduced to lowest levels in the last few years. Heat stress affects wheat plants by reducing growth, raised reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, denature cell membranes, and enzymes activity, decreasing photosynthetic activity and disturbing respiration processes. Improving wheat crop productivity is urgently needed to feed the rapidly growing population. Several techniques like Quantitative Trait Locus mapping, omics techniques, and application of nutrients have been used in the past to mitigate high temperature effect on wheat and other different crop plants. This review critically analyzes the response of wheat towards heat stress and its impacts on wheat crop as well as provides critical information on advanced strategies and techniques for the mitigation of heat stress.
Evidence for a VP-internal analysis of postverbal arguments in an SOVX language
Authors: Daniel Penelope 
Published: October 2024

Mande languages are known for their typologically unusual SOVX word order, in which the subject and direct object precede the verb, while adjuncts and other complements must follow it. Koopman (1992) argues for Bambara that this unique word order arises when the direct object obligatorily raises to a preverbal position for Case, while any other postverbal elements surface in their base-generated position within the VP. However, Nikitina (2019) proposes for Wan that postverbal elements are located in a high, clause-adjoined position. This paper presents syntactic evidence from Mandinka in support of the former analysis of postverbal indirect objects. In particular, I provide word order, pronominalization, and binding facts that show that postverbal indirect objects must be located in a low, VP-internal position, which is incompatible with a clausal-adjunction analysis.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

Current hemostatic fabric often encounters the issue of blood seeping or leaking through the fabric and at the junctions between the fabric and tissue, leading to extra blood loss. Herein, we developed an efficient hemostatic nanofabric composed of anionic and cationic nanofibers through a double-coaxial electrospinning technique. Upon contact with wound, the porous nanofabric can absorb the interfacial blood and self-seal to form a compact physical barrier through interfiber bonding, preventing blood from longitudinally penetrating the fabric. Moreover, this nanofabric exhibits strong tissue adhesiveness, inhibiting blood seeping out at the seam of the fabric and tissue. Its hemostatic performance in animal injuries surpasses that of standard cotton gauze and Combat GauzeTM. In the pig femoral artery injury, the blood loss from the nanofabric was only ca. 8% of that from Combat GauzeTM. This nanofabric exhibited antibacterial property, excellent biocompatibility, and promotes wound healing. Our work demonstrates that this strategy for designing hemostatic fabric has great potential.
