Ontological Politics and Conservation in Thailand: Communities Making Rivers and Fish Matter
Authors: Duker Peter , Vandergeest Peter , Klanarongchao Santi 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The lens of ontological politics explains the persistence of conflicts between upland ethnic minorities such as Karen peoples and state forest conservation agencies in Thailand. As can be seen with Karen communities in areas managed as national parks, such as the Ngao River basin, the environmental management practices employed by state agencies and ethnic minority communities enact different ontologies of conservation. We argue that shifting the focus of conservation discourse from forests to inland fish could present opportunities for both recognition of and government support for community-based conservation. We demonstrate how state forest conservation agencies foreclose other ontologies, thus precluding community-based conservation. Such ontological dominance, however, is more contested in the case of state agencies with jurisdiction over inland waters. By examining river management and conservation in the Ngao River basin, we consider how these communities make visible the agency of fish and other aquatic life through their knowledges and practices. We argue that Ngao Karen communities have demonstrated that they can account for and conserve aquatic life in inland waters in ways that the Thai state has been unable to do, thus legitimising otherwise marginalised ontologies for ‘resource’ management and conservation throughout Thailand.

The study assessed the awareness, access and utilization of certified seeds by rice farmers in Ebonyi State. One hundred and Twenty respondents were selected for the study using a multi-stage random sampling procedure. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with percentages, mean and Probit regression at 5% significance level. Results show that 51.7% of the farmers were aware of certified rice seeds. The main sources of information on certified seeds were cooperative associations (72.5%) and mass media (49.0 %). Certified rice seeds were available for the farmers (x̄ =1.8) but not always accessible ( x̄= 1.3). Majority of the farmers utilized FARO 44 (74.2%) due to its early maturing and high yielding quality. Membership of a cooperative association (0.600) and ownership of phones (0.012) had positive significant influence on the utilization of certified seeds. The study concludes that rice farmers have low access to certified seeds and recommends that the value chain for the distribution of certified seeds should be re-invigorated to ensure that certified seeds become more accessible to farmers
Application of GIS to monitor infrastructural development in Mombasa County, Kenya
Authors: Munywoki Margaret N. , Singh Kaveer 
Published: October 2023

The Government of Kenya, under its Vision 2030 Agenda, highlighted the need for decent and high-quality livelihoods for its citizens, by ensuring that sustainable provision be made for the necessary infrastructure required to meet their socio-economic needs. Thus, the government invested in an Electronic Development Application Management System (e-DAMS). It allows the Built Environment professionals to register and apply for planning certificates, construction permits, building inspection permits, and occupation permits. However, this system can only regulate and monitor the existing infrastructure projects in the database and has to exclude unauthorised developments. This GIS approach, which was built upon the recording and tracking of several types of electricity applications made by customers, could also be used to monitor new and existing infrastructure developments. Data were sourced from multiple government agencies in Mombasa County. A comparative analysis approach was subsequently employed to investigate the relationship between the trends in electricity supply applications, the respective types of urban land-use development, and the permits issued in approving the respective types of construction in Mombasa County. A direct relationship was found between the permits used to approve the respective types of construction and the Urban Development Master Plan. Also, a direct relationship was found between the applications for the respective types of electricity that were being made and the issuing of construction approval permits. The conclusion was reached that the applications for the prevailing types of electricity supply could be used as a proxy for identifying and assessing infrastructural development in Mombasa County. This GIS approach could provide the authorities with insights into unauthorised construction initiatives.

RUANG DAN WAKTU SEBAGAI BENTUK PRESENTASI DARI INTUISI A PRIORI PERSPEKTIF IMMANUEL KANT
Authors: Boe Maria Roswita 
Published: October 2023

Tujuan penulisan filsafat kritisime oleh Immanuel Kant adalah berusaha untuk menjelaskan tentang objek pengenalan yang berpusat pada subjek dan menegaskan batasan- batasan kemampuan atau ratio sebagai sumber pengetahauan manusia. Kant menjelaskan bahwa kemampuan manusia dalam mengetahui realitas terbatas karena ratio hanya mampu menjangkau gejala- gejala atau fenomena- fenomenanya saja, kemudian ia juga menjelaskan bahwa pengenalan manusia atas segala sesuatu diperoleh dari perpaduan antara unsur- unsur apriori dan aposteriori. Maka dengan menggunakan penelusuran pustaka yang dilakukan oleh penulis tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk membantu para pembaca agar menghindari diri dari sifat berpihak sebelah seperti sepihak dengan kaum rasionalisme atau pun sepihak dengan kaum emperisisme. Kehadiran kedua aliran ini sangat berpengaruh dalam pemikiran dunia modern saat ini terutama dengan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang pesat yang membawa kebanyakan orang pada sifat individualisme yang tinggi. Immanuel Kant dengan caranya atau metodenya tersendiri tidak memihak pada salah satu aliran namun menggunakan keduanya sebagai satu pemikiran baru.
MONITORING AND EVALUATING ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS SYSTEMS IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HOSPITALS IN THE ETHEKWINI AREA, KWAZULU NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Msomi Mandisa 
Published: October 2023

Monitoring and evaluating the electronic health records system is one of the most essential aspects of assessing the impact of utilising technology in the health sector. The study examined how hospitals monitored and evaluated EHR systems implementation and operation in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. According to the National Digital Strategy for South Africa (2019-2024:26), there is no defined process detailing the monitoring and evaluation plan in public and private health; the monitoring and evaluation are still being developed, concentrating on actions required to meet strategic intervention milestones. The study adopted the Leading Change Model (LCM) in integration with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The models were adopted in the study to assess monitoring and evaluation in the implementation and operation of electronic health records systems in the public and private hospitals in the eThekwini Area. The study utilized both the cross-sectional survey and the qualitative case study designs to compare public and private hospitals monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of electronic health records systems. The population for this study consists of three groups, or strata. The first group consists of record management personnel, patient administrators, and filing or ward clerks who deal mainly with hospital administration. In terms of monitoring productivity, both hospitals monitored the efficiency of users in the utilisation of the system, but there was no proper strategy documented. Hospitals monitored the EHR systems based on what worked for them.

Purpose: An eight weeks feeding trail was conducted to evaluate the performance of growing rabbits fed graded levels of Zizipus mauritiana leaf meal in a diet.
Methodology: Dietary treatment were designated A, B, C and D which were made up to 100% concentrate, 15%, 30% and 45% Ziziphus mauritiana leaf meal inclusion levels respectively, twenty cross bred growing rabbits of both sexes averaged 72.8g, balanced for weight and were used in a completely randomized experimental design. They were tattooed and randomly allocated to four dietary treatments replicated with seven rabbits. The rabbits were allowed one week pre-conditioning (adaptation) period during which the animals were collected for feed intake, weight gain, and feed conversion efficiency was calculated.
Findings: There were significant (p<0.05) differences in all the parameters considered. Diet D had the highest significant (p<0.05) effect in terms of weight gain with value of 648g compared to others while the control diet recoded the least value with 436g. similarly, diet D was the most consumed and a significant (p<0.05) difference was observed between diet B and C, with the former having a higher value of 124.86g. the result further revealed that as the level of Ziziphus Mauritian leaf increased in the diets lower values for feed conversion efficiency were obtained.
Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: This indicates that supplementation with the test ingredient increases the efficiency with which the dies were utilized. Thus, diet D, with the most favorable results among the treatments groups is superior to others. It is therefore recommended for growing rabbits.
Key words: Rabbits, Leaf meal, feed intake, weight gain, feed conversion efficiency
Verimlilik Yanlılığı Hipotezinin Doğrulanması: Seçilmiş Yükselen Piyasa Ekonomilerinden Kanıtlar
Authors: KARASOY Alper 
Published: October 2023

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, seçilmiş 10 büyük yükselen piyasa ekonomisinde verimlilik yanlılığı hipotezinin (VYH) geçerliliğini 1991-2021 dönemi için test etmektir.
Yöntem: Bu araştırmada yatay kesit bağımlılığını dikkate alan panel veri analiz yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda öncelikle birim-kök testiyle kullanılan değişkenlerin (nispi verimlilik ve reel döviz kuru) durağanlık dereceleri belirlenmiştir. Sonraki aşamada kesirli frekanslı esnek Fourier yapılı panel eş-bütünleşme testiyle modeldeki değişkenlerin eş-bütünleşik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmanın son aşamasında genişletilmiş ortalama grup (AMG) yöntemiyle uzun dönemde nispi verimliliğin reel döviz kurunu nasıl etkilediği bulunarak VYH’nin geçerliliği sınanmıştır.
Bulgular: Birincisi, nispi verimlilik ve reel döviz kuru hem oluşturulan panelde hem de paneldeki ülkelerin tamamında eş-bütünleşiktir. İkincisi, oluşturulan panelde ve paneldeki 10 ülkenin 8’inde (Çin, Mısır, Endonezya, Hindistan, Güney Kore, Polonya, Türkiye ve Güney Afrika) nispi verimliliğin uzun dönemde reel döviz kurunu artırdığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, VYH’nin geçerliliğini doğrulamaktadır. Son olarak Brezilya ve Meksika’da VYH reddedilmiştir.
Özgünlük: Yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinde VYH’nin geçerliliğini inceleyen çalışma sayısı son derece sınırlıdır. Ayrıca bu araştırmada kullanılan panel eş-bütünleşme testi, kesirli frekanslı Fourier fonksiyonları yardımıyla, yapısal kırılmaları dikkate almaktadır.

Abstract. Highly oxygenated molecules (HOM) from the atmospheric oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds are important contributors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA). Organic peroxy radicals (RO2) and hydroperoxy radicals (HO2) are key species influencing the HOM product distribution. In laboratory studies experimental requirements often result in overemphasis of RO2 cross-reactions compared to reactions of RO2 with HO2. We analyzed the photochemical formation of HOMs from α-pinene and their potential to contribute to SOA formation under high (≈1/1) and low (≈1/100) HO2/RO2 conditions. As HO2/RO2 > 1 is prevalent in the daytime atmosphere, sufficiently high HO2/RO2 is crucial to mimic atmospheric conditions and to prevent biases by low HO2/RO2 on the HOM product distribution and thus SOA yield. Experiments were performed under steady-state conditions in the new, continuously stirred tank reactor SAPHIR-STAR at Forschungszentrum Jülich. The HO2/RO2 ratio was increased by adding CO, while keeping the OH concentration constant. We determined the HOM’s SOA formation potential, considering their fraction remaining in the gas phase after seeding with (NH4)2SO4 aerosol. Increase of HO2/RO2 led to a reduction in SOA formation potential, with the main driver being a ≈60 % reduction in HOM-accretion products. We also observed a shift in HOM-monomer functionalization from carbonyl to hydroperoxide groups. We determined a reduction of the HOM’s SOA formation potential by ≈30 % at HO2/RO2≈1/1. Particle phase observations measured an about according decrease in SOA mass and yield. Our study showed that too low HO2/RO2 ratios compared to the atmosphere can lead to an overestimation of SOA yields.

Abstract. Polar research is an interdisciplinary and multi-faceted field of research ranging from history to geology and geophysics to social sciences and education. Thus, several different universities and institutions within Germany participate in polar research. The seminar series POLARSTUNDE, organized by the German Society for Polar Research (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Polarforschung) and the German National Committee of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists (APECS Germany) regularly features different topics of German polar research. Although initially a “pandemic solution”, the seminar series has established itself as a valuable and highly successful part of the German polar research landscape. The seminar series was held in German and was aimed at both scientists and the general public. This article addresses the first season of POLARSTUNDE and provides (1) comprehensive summaries of the talks and (2) insight into the planning and execution from an organizational point of view.
