Manusia menghasilkan emisi karbon dioksida (CO2) dari penggunaan energi dalam aktivitasnya sehari-hari. Semakin banyak aktivitas manusia, maka semakin banyak energi yang digunakan, sehingga semakin besar pula carbon footprint yang dihasilkan oleh manusia tersebut. Metoda perhitungan carbon footprint adalah suatu metoda untuk mengukur aktivitas manusia yang menimbulkan dampak terhadap lingkungan, melalui perhitungan berapa banyak by-product (Gas Rumah Kaca, GRK) yang dihasilkan, biasanya dihitung dalam ukuran unit CO2. Analisis perhitungan carbon footprint ini merupakan hasil survey data dasar untuk pembuatan aplikasi “Carbon Footprint Calculator.” Sampel survey ini adalah rumah masyarakat di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pasirkaliki. Sampel diambil secara purposive sampling di Kampung Rancabali RW 3 Kelurahan Pasirkaliki Cimahi Utara. Survey penggunaan gas, bensin, dan listrik rumah tangga dikumpulkan menggunakan Instrumen Pengumpul Data (IPD). Hasil survey menunjukkan rata-rata emisi CO2 primer yang dihasilkan dari kegiatan penggunaan gas LPG menghasilkan 0,007 ton CO2/rumah/bulan, sedangkan penggunaan bahan bakar bensin yaitu 0,073 ton CO2/rumah/bulan. Hasil perhitungan emisi sekunder konsumsi energi listrik menunjukkan rata-rata emisi 0,102 ton CO2/rumah/bulan. Masyarakat hendaknya melakukan penghematan dalam penggunaan energi pada kegiatan rumah tangga, selain itu masyakat disarankan untuk mulai melakukan penanaman tanaman di masing-masing rumah sebagai bentuk upaya mengurangi emisi karbon (CO2). Hal ini dilakukan karena tanaman atau pohon dapat menyerap emisi karbon (CO2) yang dihasilkan.
Ecological significance and conservation priorities of Europa Island (western Indian Ocean), with special reference to seabirds
Authors: Le Corre Matthieu , Jouventin Pierre 
Published: July 2023

Située dans le sud du canal de Mozambique, l’île Europa est l’une des îles les moins connues de la région malgache. Nous avons réalisé six séjours dans l’île, de 1993 à 1996, afin d’évaluer l’état des écosystèmes terrestres, de recenser les populations nicheuses d’oiseaux de mer et d’identifier les facteurs susceptibles de réduire la biodiversité de l’île. Les résultats obtenus montrent que l’île Europa est une des îles les moins perturbées de l’océan Indien occidental.
Les différentes tentatives d’occupation humaine ayant eu lieu depuis la fin du XIXe siècle sont probablement à l’origine de l’introduction de plusieurs espèces de plantes et d’animaux. De plus, la réalisation au début du XXe siècle d’une culture de sisal (Agave sisalina et Furcraea foetida) a provoqué la disparition d’une partie de la forêt sèche indigène (10 %). Cependant, la plus grande partie de l’île n’a pas subi de perturbations importantes depuis les premières installations humaines et la végétation actuelle est, dans ces endroits, probablement proche de son état originel. De ce fait, la faune des vertébrés est riche (7 espèces de reptiles et 13 espèces d’oiseaux dont 8 espèces d’oiseaux de mer). Les populations d’oiseaux de mer sont plus grandes que ce qui était estimé précédemment, en particulier celles des grands Pélécaniformes (Paille-en-queue à brins rouges Phaethon rubricauda, Fou à pieds rouges Sula sula, Frégate du Pacifique Fregata minor et Frégate ariel F. ariel ) et celle de la Sterne Fuligineuse (Sterna fuscata). Deux autres espèces, le Puffin d’Audubon (Puffinus Iherminieri) et le Paille-en-queue à brins blancs (Phaethon lepturus) ont un intérêt biogéographique remarquable. La principale menace identifiée est la prédation des œufs et poussins d’oiseaux de mer par le Rat noir (Rattus rattus), introduit. L’impact du Corbeau pie (Corvus albus), espèce anthropophile, et de la Chouette effraie (Tyto alba) comme prédateurs d’oiseaux de mer est discuté. Trois autres sources de risques potentiels de modification de l’habitat, en particulier de la forêt sèche, ont été identifiées : le surpâturage par les chèvres, les incendies naturels ou accidentels et l’invasion du milieu par le sisal.
Nous proposons un programme de conservation pour éviter la perte de biodiversité. La première étape, actuellement en cours, consiste à quantifier les menaces. La seconde étape sera de restaurer l’île dans son ensemble, par le contrôle ou l’éradication des espèces animales ou végétales introduites pouvant mettre en danger les écosystèmes terrestres indigènes.
Identification of the Leading Economic Sectors of Nigeria: A Typology Juxtapose of Nigerian Economy Vis-À-Vis African Economies
Authors: Sadiq M.S. , Singh I. P. , M. Ahmad M. , M. A. Isah 
Published: July 2023

Objectives: The typology of Nigeria's economy was examined alongside those of West Africa, sub-Saharan Africa, and developing economies in Africa using time-series data from 1970 to 2018. Some issues remain and will continue to attract the attention of academics, activists, members of civil society, and practitioners to answer the question if Nigeria is capable of realizing its vast potential and maintaining its ability to grow.
Methods: The data covered the values of nine sectors, each in the economy at constant prices, and the data were analyzed using inferential statistics.
Results: Empirical evidence has shown that crude oil and solid minerals are the main core sectors of the Nigerian economy at the subregional level before Nigeria's economy shifts to agriculture and sectors of the third production chain, possibly the likely cause of Africa's emerging oil economies. Furthermore, concerning regional economies, agriculture and related activities, and the third sector of Nigeria's economy, it has the potential to grow faster. The possible reasons for this are that they are long-term sustainable, appropriate, and reliable alternative sources of revenue earning due to the global collapse in oil prices and insurgencies affecting the Nigerian economy's mineral resources and secondary production sectors. Besides, the secondary production chain needs to be strengthened to become potential, thus complementing the non-oil sectors of the Nigerian economy.
Conclusions: For the well-being of Nigerians, the surest means is for policymakers to adhere to the optimal potential development of agriculture and related activities and the high-production sectors of the country's economy. To sustain the Nigerian economy, it must be diversified non-oil supported by agriculture and the allied sector because the appropriate way to strengthen the country's economy is to harness the economic activities that form the basis of the economic life of Nigerians and will be able to absorb the current human resources conditions.

Authors: Al-Ajlouni Sameh Asim , Sanajleh Basel Mohammad 
Published: July 2023

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of the real interest rate on economic growth in Jordan, using annual data for the period from 1990 to 2019.
Methods: To achieve the study's objectives, both the descriptive and analytical curriculum was used using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) method.
Results: The study revealed that there is a statistically significant negative effect of the real interest rate on economic growth in Jordan, as when the real interest rate increases by (1%), the real economic growth decreases by (0.97%), and there is a statistically significant negative effect of the inflation rate on economic growth in Jordan, as when the inflation rate increases by (1%), the real economic growth decreases by (0.85%). In addition, there is a statistically significant exponential impact of the money supply on Jordan's economic growth, as when the growth in the money supply increases by (1%), real economic growth increases by (0.49%).
Conclusions: The study recommended that an expansionary monetary policy should be pursued to increase market liquidity. It also recommended reducing loan interest rates to improve and create an investment environment to attract investment and revive the economy, thereby driving economic growth with the fiscal policy's work to maintain stable inflation rates.

Elementos para el Análisis de la Institucionalización de la Sociología Aplicada. Un caso de Sociología Clínica en Colombia (2015-2022)
Authors: Yzaguirre Fernando , Álvaro Estramiana José Luis , Garrido Luque Alicia 
Published: July 2023

El proceso de institucionalización de una disciplina puede estudiarse a partir de un conjunto de casos representativos en los que, si bien no nos podemos basar para dar cuenta de toda su complejidad, sí nos permiten identificar los elementos involucrados en ese proceso y las problemáticas que se enfrentan.
Este trabajo se dedica, en su primera parte, a la presentación del debate alrededor de dos visiones de la sociología que conviven y caracterizan su institucionalización. Se explora, en primer lugar, la discusión clásica entorno a la dicotomía “teoría y técnica”, “teórico y aplicado”, “ciencia y profesión”, “investigación básica e investigación aplicada”, para abordar luego la pertinencia de la sociología aplicada.
Por último, se expone el caso particular del primer intento de institucionalización de la sociología clínica en Colombia a partir de su inclusión en el plan de estudios de la carrera1 de sociología de la Universidad del Atlántico, conjuntamente con el desarrollo de actividades de investigación y proyección social; prácticas, pasantías y trabajos de grado; diplomados, seminarios internacionales, publicaciones y, finalmente, la creación de una asociación profesional.

Certification
Authors: Lehnerer Melodye 
Published: July 2023

The application of sociological knowledge, including theory, methods, and skills, has been identified as sociological practice. Within the field of sociological practice there are two distinct types of practice - clinical and applied (Clark and Fritz 1986). In the United States (U.S.) the Association for Applied and Clinical Sociology (AACS) certifies these sociological practitioners at the master’s or doctoral level. The process involves an evaluation by previously certified peers and includes the submission of a portfolio and the completion of a demonstration in which applicants showcase their action-oriented work. Certification is not state licensure. The credentialing of sociological practitioners in the U.S. and internationally can serve as a model for sociological practitioners globally - applied, clinical, and engaged public.
Vaccine diplomacy and the South African Sovereignty Maintenance Struggle within BRICS cooperation
Authors: Chidhume Farai Joseph , Chisi Taderera Herbert 
Published: July 2023

The Covid 19 pandemic has brought an unprecedented litany of challenges diplomatically and in medical technology. The global pandemic has adversely affected BRICS nations but three of them Russia, China and India have quickly reacted with the invention of vaccines which have been circulated to many countries throughout the world and Africa in particular. Surprisingly while Brazil quickly accepted the readily and easily available Sinopharm vaccine from China which is a fellow BRICS bloc member and South Africa though being the worst affected country in Southern Africa seemed to dither on finding a solution from either China or Russia. South Africa put more faith initially in AstraZeneca ahead of Sinopharm and Sinovac vaccines from China and Sputnik V from Russia. She has relied enormously on Johnson & Johnson (Netherlands/USA), AstraZeneca and Pfizer. This paper seeks to comment on the silence which has prevailed on the procurement of vaccines from other BRICS allies Russia and China by South Africa. The South African quite diplomatic stance towards vaccines from fellow BRICS bloc members and the time taken to approve the Sinovac vaccine leave analysts with many questions. We ask in this paper, is South Africa protecting its sovereignty or is it circumventing being exploited by the bigger Bloc members? Research has shown that as part of the arsenal of soft-power diplomacy, big powers including China and Russia have tended to bolster their diplomatic presence in Africa and other developing regions through the vaccineiplomacy. This article will comment on diplomatic, economic and political concerns of South Africa’s scepticism to use the BRICS bloc vaccines in fighting the Covid 19 pandemic despite the devastating effects of the virus in the country.
Aesthetic Assessment of Kitsch: A Reading on Bad Taste in Kant’s “Critique of Aesthetic Judgment”
Authors: UYSAL ÜREY Zeynep Çiğdem 
Published: July 2023

Kitsch, devised as a term of modern aesthetics after the 19th century, indicates an aesthetic value judgment that is identified as ‘bad taste’. It is acknowledged that the issues of aesthetic judgment and taste were systematically addressed for the first time by Immanuel Kant in his “Critique of Aesthetic Judgment” in the 18th century. This study attempts to reevaluate the notion of kitsch as an aesthetic value judgment through a reading of Kant’s arguments over the concepts of aesthetic judgment, taste, and bad taste as presented in his work “Critique of Aesthetic Judgment”. Tracing the notion of kitsch as bad taste in the writings of Kant would demonstrate possible convergences or discrepancies there may be and would be significant for providing an understanding about the philosophical roots of the term.
With such an attempt, this study conducts a discursive analysis, and respectively examines the notion of kitsch as an aesthetic judgment of taste; the notions of aesthetic judgment and taste in Kant’s “Critique of Aesthetic Judgment”; and the notion of ‘bad taste’ thereof in order to make a comparison with the notion of kitsch. The examination that looks for the definition of bad taste in the “Critique of Aesthetic Judgment” reveals that the conditions of ‘bad taste’, as portrayed by Kant through the role of charm and emotion in aesthetic judgment, overlap with the characteristics of kitsch on the basis of sentimentality and desire for attention. Consequently, as a result of the reading on bad taste in Kant’s arguments, this study argues that over the traits of sentimentality or the pretentious use of charms and emotions, the philosophical roots of the term kitsch as an aesthetic value judgment existed long before its name has been coined.
Towards an interconnected reading method: Temporality of an architectural lexicon
Authors: EKMEKCİ GERONYMAKİS Türkan Oya , ŞENTÜRER Ayşe 
Published: July 2023

The conception of time evolves from absolute towards more ambiguous in light of different scientific approaches. It becomes questionable to explain all physical phenomena with a single definition of time. Temporality in architecture can be studied in different dimensions; nevertheless, it is mainly considered in relation with the concepts of space and time. This article aims to focus on specifically temporality of an open-ended research approach in architecture. It introduces an interconnected reading method and explicates the research layers and their relations through an architectural lexicon. Therefore, it deciphers an on-going PhD research called Architectural Lexicon on Void, which seeks to contribute to building a new architectural vocabulary. Based on the approach of interconnectivity, it interprets the lexicon as a means of “reading” and “understanding” the concept of void in architecture.
In order to discuss temporality, the article touches the idea of openness by Eco and Deleuze, together with Bergson’s idea of duration. It considers temporality of this research process as an open whole which consists of multiple durations and studies the research layers within this frame.
PROSPECTS OF CREATION AND USE OF MODELS OF WEAPONS AND MILITARY EQUIPMENT
Authors: Chebakov O. , Haydak V. , Dyrman Yu. , Haydak І. 
Published: July 2023

In order to achieve high efficiency in the use of military equipment in the conditions of hostilities, it is necessary to constantly support the training of specialists. The article examines the ways of using mock-ups of military equipment, taking into account the experience of using mock-up samples in the conditions of combat use, as well as when they are used as simulators for training specialists. The experience of modern local wars (conflicts and operations) shows that a significant role in achieving the goal of war is given to the development and training of qualified personnel. This, in turn, determines the objective necessity of creating mock-ups of models of equipment that could be used during the training (re- and re-training) of specialists. High efficiency in the use of military equipment cannot be achieved without support at a high level of the skills and abilities of specialists. The experience gained during the anti-terrorist operation and the operation of the joint forces in the east of Ukraine and the open military attack of the russian federation indicates the relevance of tasks related to the implementation of new organizational and technical solutions and approaches to the training of the military, using models of military equipment and models of weapon simulators , taking into account the real conditions of its use. Thus, the relevance of the research lies in the fact that at the current stage, in the conditions of combat use, there is a need to create and actively use samples of military equipment. The purpose of the article is to determine the most important possibilities and mechanisms of the system of creating and using samples of military equipment.
Regarding development prospects, it is worth noting that the experience of modern local wars (conflicts and operations) shows that it is now relevant to create and use models of military equipment to strengthen one's position in the process of training professional military personnel.
Summarizing the above, it should be noted that the use of models of military equipment in the training of military specialists will help to obtain the ability of both quick and high-quality training taking into account the real conditions of its use and high efficiency in the conditions of combat use, namely to mislead the enemy.
Wind Turbine Planetary Gearbox Fault Diagnosis via Proportion-Extracting Synchrosqueezing Chirplet Transform
Authors: Zhang Dong , Feng Zhipeng 
Published: July 2023

Wind turbine planetary gearboxes usually work under time-varying conditions, leading to nonstationary vibration signals. These signals often consist of multiple time-varying components with close instantaneous frequencies. Therefore, high-quality time-frequency analysis (TFA) is needed to extract the time-frequency feature from such nonstationary signals for fault diagnosis. However, it is difficult to obtain high-quality time-frequency representations (TFRs) through conventional TFA methods due to low resolution and time-frequency blurs. To address this issue, we propose a new TFA method termed the proportion-extracting synchrosqueezing chirplet transform (PESCT). Firstly, the proportion-extracting chirplet transform (PECT) is employed to generate high-resolution underlying TFRs. Then, the energy concentration of the underlying TFRs is enhanced via the synchrosqueezing transform. Finally, wind turbine planetary gearbox fault can be diagnosed by analysis of the dominant time-varying components revealed by the concentrated TFRs with high resolution. The proposed PESCT is suitable for achieving high-quality TFRs for complicated nonstationary signals. Numerical and experimental analyses validate the effectiveness of the PESCT in characterizing the nonstationary signals from wind turbine planetary gearboxes.
