Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh diameter lengkungan terhadap bending loss pada fiber optic, pengaruh jumlah lilitan terhadap bending loss, dan faktor yang mempengaruhi terjadinya bending loss. Pengukuran dilakukan dengan menggunakan alat Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) tipe Cable Analyzer Fluxe Networks DSX-602. Variabel kontrol yaitu fiber optic single-mode dan panjang fiber optic. Variabel manipulasi yaitu diameter lengkungan (mm) dan jumlah lilitan serta variabel respon yaitu bending loss (dB) dan reflektansi (dB). Data diperoleh dengan alat OTDR yang di lengkungkan pada kerucut sesuai dengan variabel penelitian. Diketahui bahwa loss terjadi karena adanya sinar datang dan garis normal yang membentuk sudut kritis yang jika semakin kecil akan menyebabkan sinar menembus dan tidak dipantulkan. Maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa diameter lengkungan berpengaruh terhadap nilai loss yang jika semakin besar diameternya akan semakin kecil loss yang terjadi dan semakin banyak jumlah lilitan juga akan mengakibatkan semakin besar nilai loss yang terjadi. Alat ukur dalam penelitian ini juga berpengaruh terhadap loss karena memiliki sensitivitas atau batas ukur yang berbeda serta terbatas, sehingga jika diameter terlalu kecil alat tidak mampu menunjukan hasil yang maksimal. Diharapkan Analisa dalam penelitian ini dapat membantu penelitian selanjutnya untuk sensor beban, propagasi, dan pengembangan ilmu terkait fiber optic kedepannya.

Skema perencanaan dan penganggaran mengharuskan adanya relasi antara nilai politik, proses teknokratis, dan partisipatif sebagai konstruksi demokratisasi kebijakan. Sempitnya penyerapan apirasi dan kebutuhan masyarakat yang dirasakan selama ini akibat dari kurang padunya hasil rumusan antara perencanaan politik, teknokratis, dan partisipatif dalam rencana pembangunan. Kecenderungan modus perencanaan dan penganggaran di daerah masih terlalu bersifat teknokratis dan politis yang tidak di imbangi dengan aspek partisipasi yang nyata. Peran lembaga perencana pembangunan daerah sebagai Lembaga teknis perencanaan yang diharapkan menjadi mediator dalam perencanaan pembangunan dalam pelaksanaannya tidak bisa berbuat banyak karna masih di bawah tekanan politik oleh penguasa dan kelompok kepentingan lainnya. Peran esensial para aktor pembangunan seperti partai politik, kelompok kepentingan, maupun para kelompok penekan dalam mengartikulasikan kebutuhan masyarakat dalam pembangunan daerah tidak berjalan pada garis integritas sistem politik. Beberapa hal yang mempengaruhi kebutuhan masyarakat sulit terakomodir yakni datang dari tingkat kepentingan politik, kualitas usulan, dan keprofesionalan aparatur lembaga perencana.
DEVELOPMENT OF LOW-COST SPECTROPHOTOMETER USING A DUAL-ARDUINO SYSTEM
Authors: MYUNG DEREK JEON 
Published: July 2023

Rationale: A spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument used to measure the transmission or reflection of visible light, UV light, or infrared light for quantifying solution concentrations. Despite the importance of the spectrophotometer as a precious analytical instrument, it has not been possible for many STEM science laboratories to access spectrophotometers due to their lack of funding. Creating a spectrophotometer with an Arduino microcontroller might demonstrate the possibility that low-cost assembling procedures can give insight into spectrophotometry and affordable accessibility for young scientists.
Methods: An Arduino Uno was connected with an RGB LED and two light sensors that read the light intensity from two points, one from the front near to light input and the other from the back of the sample cuvette. A stepper motor could control the sample cartridge, which had 16 holders created with a 3D printer. The second Arduino Uno managed the stepper motor with an obstacle sensor to stop the cartridge at the exact sample reading point. The difference in the analog light intensity was recorded into variables for later calculating calibration curve with regression slope, intersection, and coefficient.
Results: Using three colors of food dyes and serial dilution solutions, it was found that this automated spectrophotometer could accurately measure the sample concentrations within approximately 5.7% error from the actual concentration. The performance of the Arduino spectrophotometer was supported with the comparable regression coefficients being near 0.98 or so in measuring standard serially diluted dye solutions of the food dyes within the spectrum of the dye concentration.
Conclusion: With 8 dye samples of blind test trials, no difference in the measured concentration was found for those from the samples with concentration created blindly.

An experiment was performed in wiry greenhouse at Giza Experimental Research Station (30.0204508, 31.2067921), ARC, during two summer seasons of 2019 and 2020 to determine the optimum potassium requirement for mitigating the adverse effects of water stress and improving photosynthetic rate, oxidative substance, RWC, growth and seed quality of soybean. Soybean plants were exposed to water stress at different growth stages under water limited regimes,i.e100% (control), 88% (moist), 76% (medium) and 64% (dry) as well as Potassium at the concentrations of 1 and 2% K2O in addition to spraying with water (as control) were applied. Increasing water stress up to 64% significantly decreased chlorophyll fluorescence, RWC, LAI, CGR and yield component, in the contrary, proline, lipid peroxidation and total soluble protein content increased in response to water stress. In water stress treatments, plants treated with 2%K2O showed the highest values for chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), RWC, LAI, CGR, protein, carbohydrate, oil, N, P, k seed content, germination measurements and yield component, while proline, lipid peroxidation, total soluble protein content and EC gave the lowest values. It seems that the application of potassium in 2%K2O concentration may improve plant functions in both normal and stress conditions.

Published: July 2023

Variations in Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) and Total Aliphatic Hydrocarbon (TAH) concentrations in surface water and sediments of Sombriero River during wet and dry climatic conditions and their implications to human health and the environment were investigated. The sediments and water samples were collected from seven selected stations at Sombriero river banks and within Sombriero River. The dry season sampling was carried out in December, 2020 while the wet season sampling took place in May, 2021. The samples were analyzed in the laboratory for Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH’s), and Total aliphatic Hydrocarbons (TAHs) following the standard operational procedures. The results indicated that the summation of the Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbon (\(\Sigma\)PAH’s) exceeded 0 – 50ng/l background value signifying contamination by polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon with congeners such as benzo(a) pyrene; benzoflouranthenes; benzo(a) anthracene; indeno(1,2,3-cd) pyrene and dibenzo(a,h) anthracene which are carcinogenic. The aliphatic fraction of the total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) results indicated ranges within DPR target and intervention limits, but the aromatic fraction indicated presence of chemical compounds that are carcinogenic to human health and at concentrations that exceeded their tolerable limits. The potential health effect of concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons to human exposure in the study area lies on the carcinogenic Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) fractions constituent chemical compounds such as Benz[a]anthracene, Benzo[b]fluoranthene, Benzo[k]fluoranthene, Benzo[a]pyrene, Dibenz [a,h] anthracene, Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, whose concentrations portends human health hazard.

Authors: KADZUWA HENRY , MISSANJO EDWARD 
Published: July 2023

The study investigated the effect of tree leaf phenology, topography and wind speed on estimating forest canopy height (FCH) and above ground biomass (AGB) using optical drone data in Miombo Woodlands of Malawi. Data were acquired in 2019 from thirteen plots of Ntchisi Forest Reserve, in two-fold; tree measurements from 0.1ha in-situ plots and airborne RGB ortho-images overlaid on the terrestrial plots from 50 ha boxes. The imagery were acquired by DJI Phantom-4 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) at ~7cm pixel resolution. These were processed using Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry algorithm in Agisoft Metashape Professional software. Malawi’s local allometry was used to estimate AGB while the Analysis of Variance was employed to test accuracy. Results reveal that leaf phenology, topography and wind speed significantly (P<0.05) affected estimation of FCH and AGB using the airborne observations. Wind speed contributed highly (53.95% and 55.52%) to the total variation of FCH and AGB, respectively. Furthermore, wind speed upsurge >5m.s-1 (-666.90±27.62%; -64.78±8.47%), topography >15% slope (-114.53±2.92%; -17.07±2.31%) and leaf-off condition (-188.45±25.62%; -27.80±7.98 %) bore higher errors for FCH and AGB, respectively. A significant variation of relationship (R2=0.71; P<0.05) was observed between ground-based height and UAV canopy height. Nevertheless, the variation of the relationship strongly increased by 10% to R2=0.81 when two plots highly affected by the wind speed were excluded from the analysis. Similarly, a significant variation of relationship (R2=0.81; P<0.05) was registered between the ground-based and UAV-based AGB. Correspondingly, a very strong variation of relationship (R2= 0.95; an increase by 14%) was yielded when the two plots highly affected by wind speed were excluded from the analysis. These findings imply that seasonal leaf-fall, slope and wind speed significantly influence the accuracy of FCH and AGB estimations in Miombo Woodlands. Hence, for accurate results, it is a pre-requisite to consider leaf-phenology, topography and wind speed prior to undertaking ground and airborne inventory in the Woodlands.

Authors: GUPTA JAI PRAKASH , KAMBLE UMESH R. 
Published: July 2023

Introduction: As per Indian minimum seed certification standards, minimum germination percentage for certified rice seeds needs to be above 80%. During storage and transport of seeds, it is likely to be affected by high humidity and temperature fluctuations which subsequently can lead to loss in seed viability and vigour. Priming technology has proven in reversing the detrimental effects of seed deterioration and increasing seedling vigour, seedling length and seedling dry weight. Therefore, standardization of a priming technique is imperative to ameliorate deteriorated seeds affected due to natural ageing or variable storage conditions.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, two rice cultivars viz., PRH-10 and KMR-3 were initially subjected to an accelerated ageing test and further osmo-primed with various chemicals viz., potassium nitrate, polyethylene glycol, zinc sulphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate and salicylic acid. Effect of various osmo-priming treatments and its effect on seed germination, vigour and biochemical properties were analysed.
Results and Discussion: Exposition of seeds to accelerated ageing test of both the varieties resulted in reduction of germination percentage, and vigour index I and II. However, with different osmo-priming treatments, germination percentage, seedling dry weight and vigour indices I and II were found to increased notably in accelerated ageing test seeds.
Conclusion: Among the various treatments, seeds osmo-primed with ZnSO4 and salicylic acid were found to beneficial in improving seed germination in PRH-10 and KMR-3 varieties.

Published: July 2023

Among the environmental problems, salinity is one of the major threats to agriculture around the globe which affects more than 6% of the available land on earth. However halophytes are blessed with the ability to cope with high salinity by various mechanisms. The present study was aimed to explore adaptive components of Cyperus exaltatus which is now growing widely at a number of saline areas across the Pakistan. Extensive trips were made across the country to collect the populations of Cyperus exaltatus from all sorts of environments with varying levels of salinity. The morphological study of ecotypes showed that many growth parameters were affected negatively under higher salinity. However, root length, shoot length, plant height, shoot fresh and dry weight showed a high association with hyper saline sites. Moreover the physiological parameters such as proline content, total soluble proteins and total soluble sugars were accumulated in higher concentrations among populations at hyper saline sites while in lower concentrations at moderately saline and less saline sits which may have supported the production of higher biomass under salinity. The results show that the plants like Cyperus exaltatus can be grown under various types of environmental stresses especially under salinity. Thus the barren saline lands can be used to produce fodder as well as the growth of plants may also help to reduce the levels of salinity in such areas.
