IMPLEMENTING FOREST TENURE REFORMS: PERSPECTIVES FROM INDONESIA’S FORESTRY AGENCIES
Authors: Herawati Tuti , Mwangi Esther , Liswanti Nining 
Published: January 2025

Forest Tenure Reform implementation involves diverse actors with multiple roles and interests, including government officials. Few studies have attempted to systematically document the conditions facing government agency implementers in their efforts to implement forest tenure reform. This study attempts to identifies factors that enhance or constrain reform implementation from the perspective of individual implementers at national and sub-national levels in Indonesia. The study was conducted through analysing data that resulted from bureaucrat’s interview who purposively selected at Central and Local Government. Most interviewees indicate that forest tenure reforms have three interrelated objectives: to conserve forests and restore degraded forests, to improve community livelihoods and ensure benefits are equitably distributed; and to secure the rights of local, forest-adjacent or forest-dwelling communities. Reform implementation has been effective or somewhat effective in protecting community rights to access, use, manage and benefit from forests. Close to half of the respondents indicated that their activities gave special consideration to low income groups but few paid special attentions to women and women’s rights. Main constraints to implementation are inadequate budgets and insufficient manpower to execute tenure-related activities. Divergent priorities between national and sub-national/local levels and changes in government that redistribute personnel are additional factors that hinder reform implementation. Overall, respondents agree that reforms are only partially implemented due to technical and institutions constraints, which in turn influence the extent to which collaboration/coordination among actors can be achieved and the extent to which community tenure needs such as conflict management and resolution can be addressed.
Preparation of hydrophilic TiO2 films by chemical solution deposition
Authors: Garškaitė Edita 
Published: January 2025

In this work homogeneous and crack-free titanium dioxide (TiO2) films were grown by chemical solution deposition on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) glass substrates. The influence of solution composition and deposition time on films morphology was in­ves­tigated. Morphological features of deposited TiO2 films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Raman spectroscopy studies and peak deconvolution analysis showed that annealed at 500 °C TiO2 films possess an anatase crystal structure. Measurements of a contact angle of water revealed that the surface of the FTO glass after the deposition of TiO2 films became more hydrophilic (contact angle decreased by 45° ± 5). Furthermore, after the irradiation with UV light the contact angle was further reduced from 26 to 7° and from 34 to 13° for films deposited in 2 and 4 h, respectively.
<i>Logos </i>is God
Authors: Purba Nora , Sihombing Salomo 
Published: January 2025

The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels. It is called the Gospel because it contains news about the journey and ministry of the Lord Jesus as the living Savior. However, the Gospel of John has very different characteristics from the other Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke). The influence of the Old Testament (OT) is very strong, so we suspect that the identity of Jesus is truly an inseparable part of Jewish history, so that if the Jews reject Christ, they also reject Him who is part of themselves (John 1:11). This paper attempts to elaborate on the identity of λόγος (logos) which is often the subject of theological debate. The intended effort is made through a biblical study of John 1:1-5. Therefore, the research method used in this paper focuses on the analysis of the text of John 1:1-5 in order to trace the identity of the Logos. The findings of this study show that the logos (Jesus Christ) is also God. The Son of God who revealed the Father to humans. Revelation through Jesus Christ aims to make God (the second person) known to humans.

This paper studies the classroom teaching mode under the category of innovative learning methods to improve the "innovative skills" scores of first-year education students in University. And learning is certainly different from the research of scientists; however, it also requires students to dare to get rid of the old, dare to make new, and dare to explore what they have learned with multiple ways of thinking. This study aims 1) to Use creativity-based learning to enhance the innovation skills of education major students. 2) to Compare the innovation skills of education major students before and after the implementation of creativity-based learning. This study mixed research method of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. An innovative research methodology was adopted, which is a comprehensive innovation project composed of components such as classroom activities, current teaching conditions, innovation topics, and questionnaires. The sample group consists of 100 first-year education major students from Chengdu Normal University in Chengdu, China, who were randomly selected through cluster sampling. The findings that the average score of students before learning training course was 98 points, and after learning training course, it increased to an average of 144 points, with an average difference of 56 points. The results indicate that after learning training course is better. In summary, the study on enhancing the innovative skills of education students through creative based learning demonstrated significant improvements
Hear or Not to Hear: A Comparative Analysis of Jurisdiction of the Courts in E-commerce Disputes
Authors: Sarabdeen Jawahitha 
Published: January 2025

The borderless nature of e-commerce brought opportunities and challenges for businesses and consumers. One of the challenges faced by consumers is finding the right court that has jurisdiction to hear and decide disputes in a transaction or any of their online activities. For a court to recognize a legal right, it must establish jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter. The jurisdiction of a court in a dispute is traditionally decided on the presence of the parties in each jurisdiction or agreement to submit to the jurisdiction. The existing procedural law in many counties has restrictions on bringing a foreign party to a local court or enforcing a local judgment on a defendant in a foreign country. Hence, the article was an attempt to investigate the availability of the laws in the UK, Australia, and Malaysia to address the jurisdiction of the court to hear e-commerce disputes involving foreign entities. The research applying a systematic review of literature, legal content analysis, and comparative legal analysis found that there was a gap in the literature to address the issue of jurisdiction of the courts in hearing and deciding against a foreign e-commerce site. It further revealed that the laws in the UK are satisfactory to bring a foreign defendant to the local jurisdiction in cases of consumer issues, however, enforcement of the judgment beyond the UK is subjected to a reciprocal agreement. In Australia and Malaysia, the laws and regulations are very restrictive and need an amendment to allow e-consumers to successfully bring an action against an e-commerce site and enforce the judgment in a foreign country. The research contributed to filling the gap in the literature and provided suggestions to improve the law on the jurisdiction of the local court to hear and decide cases involving foreign e-commerce defendants.

Défis dans les écoles franco-ontariennes : analyse de la pensée systémique chez des gestionnaires de l’éducation
Authors: IsaBelle Claire , Dulude Éliane 
Published: January 2025

À la lumière des défis de l’école recensés dans un article publié par Lessard en 1994, nous tentons d’actualiser les écrits sur ces enjeux. Notre étude vise à comprendre les défis que doivent relever les organisations éducatives ainsi que les transformations proposées pour favoriser la réussite éducative des jeunes, selon le point de vue de gestionnaires de l’éducation en milieu francophone en Ontario. Pour analyser leur compréhension quant aux défis organisationnels, nous utilisons les caractéristiques de la pensée systémique adaptées à un leader scolaire de Shaked et Schechter. Dix gestionnaires ont participé à un entretien semi-dirigé. De notre analyse ont émergé huit catégories de défis. La pénurie de personnel scolaire et l’instabilité des directions d’école et de conseils scolaires ont été analysées en profondeur. Les gestionnaires nomment leur origine et les parties prenantes impliquées, jugent de leur importance sur l’ensemble de l’organisation, citent des sources d’influence externes (ministère de l’Éducation, ordre professionnel, université, conseil scolaire) comme pouvant intervenir pour contrer la pénurie du personnel. Les actions proposées visent la valorisation du personnel, de meilleurs salaires, des formations adaptées avec de l’accompagnement, etc. Peu de gestionnaires se sentent investis quant aux possibilités de transformer l’organisation éducative pour répondre au défi.

L’objectif de cet article est de mettre en avant les réels besoins des enseignantes et des enseignants dans un établissement multiculturel qui enseigne un programme scolaire francophone à une population plurilingue. Pour ce faire, l’article découle d’un travail de recherche portant sur l’adaptation des pratiques éducatives françaises dans un contexte francophone, mené en 2021 dans un pays identifié ici par la lettre « X ». La recherche s’appuie d’abord sur un cadre théorique qui définit le métier d’enseignante et d’enseignant comme un travail d’experte et d’expert, pour ensuite expliciter l’idée de pédagogie interculturelle. La méthodologie de recherche adoptée est mixte. Elle permet d’identifier les préoccupations du corps enseignant tout en clarifiant les éléments essentiels à intégrer dans la création de formations adaptées. L’objectif ultime est de garantir la capacité des enseignantes et enseignants à exercer leur métier au sein d’une population plurilingue et pluriculturelle, tout en minimisant les conflits culturels.

Published: January 2025

Background: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common and life-threatening complication in children undergoing treatment for cancer, often leading to septic shock. Early identification of septic shock is critical. Serum lactic acid levels have emerged as a potential biomarker for predicting septic shock. This study aimed to determine the implications of serum lactic acid levels as a predictor of septic shock in childhood cancer patients with febrile neutropenia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was from June 2023 to July 2024. One hundred pediatric oncology patients with neutropenia who were admitted to the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) were enrolled in the study. Clinical examinations and laboratory investigations were conducted for all participants, and the relevant information was recorded. Data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0.
Results: Shock patients exhibited significantly higher initial serum lactic acid levels (3.52±0.81 mg/dl) compared to non-shock patients (1.93±0.75 mg/dl). The ROC curve analysis yielded an AUC of 0.934, with a sensitivity of 100.00%, specificity of 81.6%, and a cut-off value of 2.50 mg/dl. The diagnostic performance test demonstrated a PPV of 63.16%, NPV of 100.00%, and overall accuracy of 86.00%.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates the potential utility of serum lactic acid levels as a predictive biomarker for identifying febrile neutropenic patients at risk of developing septic shock within 48 hours. Serum lactic acid level >2.5 mmol/L could be considered as a threshold for early risk stratification.

Field experiment was conducted during 2018-19 & 2019-20 at the Regional Sugarcane and Rice Research Station, Rudrur, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agriculture University situated at an altitude of 286.3m above mean sea level (MSL) at 180 49’41’ latitude and 78056’45” E longitude, (PJTSAU). The experiment consisted of 16 treatments viz., four levels of phosphorus (0, 30 60, and 90 kg P2O5 ha-1) and four levels of seed treatment with molybdenum (0, 2, 4 and 6 g kg-1 seed) laid out in a randomized block design with factorial concept and replicated thrice. Perusal of mean results of two years indicated phosphorus nutrition of 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 13.41 cm,20.80cm and 24.38cm at 15,30 and 45 DAS over other levels of phosphorus. Highest root length of 11.76cm,19.19cm and 22.35cm was observed with Mo seed treatment @ 6g kg-1seed Interaction effect of different P levels and Mo seed treatment on root volume of soybean was significant at 15,30 and 45 DAS. At 15 and 30 DAS.Phosphorus fertilization with 90kg P2O5 ha-1 with all the levels of Mo seed treatment registered statistically similar root volume with maximum value observed with 4g (2.26 and 5.56 cm3) followed byb6g (2.24 and5.48 cm3)and 2g (2.24 and 5.42 cm3 )kg-1 seed while at 45 DAS 90kg P2O5 ha-1along with Mo seed treatment . Interaction of various phosphorus nutrition levels and Mo seed treatment on root dry weight of soybean indicated that application of 90 kg P2O5 ha-1 along with Mo seed treatment of 4 g kg-1 seed was effective with maximum root dry weight of (1.67,5.34 and 6.86 g plant-1) on par with Mo seed treatment of 6 g kg-1 seed at same level of phosphorus nutrition(1.64,5.25 and 6.69 g plant-1) over other treatments at 15,30 and 45 DAS.
Effect of metal implants and metal artifacts on back‐projected two‐dimensional entrance fluence determined by EPID dosimetry
Authors: Cao Zheng , Gao Xiang , Liu Gongfa , Pei Yuanji 
Published: August 2023

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the errors caused by metal implants and metal artifacts in the two‐dimensional entrance fluences reconstructed using the back‐projection algorithm based on electronic portal imaging device (EPID) images.MethodsThe EPID in the Varian VitalBeam accelerator was used to acquire portal dose images (PDIs), and then commercial EPID dosimetry software was employed to reconstruct the two‐dimensional entrance fluences based on computed tomography (CT) images of the head phantoms containing interchangeable metal‐free/titanium/aluminum round bars. The metal‐induced errors in the two‐dimensional entrance fluences were evaluated by comparing the γ results and the pixel value errors in the metal‐affected regions. We obtained metal‐artifact‐free CT images by replacing the voxel values of non‐metal inserts with those of metal inserts in metal‐free CT images to evaluate the metal‐artifact‐induced errors.ResultsThe γ passing rates (versus PDIs obtained without a phantom in the beam field (PDIair), 2%/2 mm) for the back‐projected two‐dimensional entrance fluences of phantoms containing titanium or aluminum (BPTi/BPAl) were reduced from 92.4% to 90.5% and 90.6%, respectively, relative to the metal‐free phantom (BPmetal‐free). Titanium causes more severe metal artifacts in CT images than aluminum, and its removal resulted in a 0.0022 CU (median) reduction in the pixel value of BPTi artifact‐free relative to BPTi in the metal‐affected region. Moreover, the mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) decreased from 0.0050 CU and 0.0063 CU to 0.0034 CU and 0.0040 CU, respectively (vs. BPmetal‐free).ConclusionMetal implants increase the errors in back‐projected two‐dimensional entrance fluences, and metals with higher electron densities cause more errors. For high‐electron‐density metal implants that produce severe metal artifacts (e.g., titanium), removing metal artifacts from the CT images can improve the accuracy of the two‐dimensional entrance fluences reconstructed by back‐projection algorithms.

AbstractResident microglia are key factors in mediating immunity against brain tumors, but the microglia in malignant glioma are functionally impaired. Little immunotherapy is explored to restore microglial function against glioma. Herein, oleanolic acid (OA) (microglia “restorer”) and DPPA‐1 peptide (immune checkpoint blockade) are integrated on a nano‐immuno‐synergist (DPAM@OA) to work coordinately. The self‐assembled OA core is coated with macrophage membrane for efficient blood–brain barrier penetration and microglia targeting, on which DPPA‐1 peptide is attached via acid‐sensitive bonds for specific release in tumor microenvironment. With the enhanced accumulation of the dual drugs in their respective action sites, DPAM@OA effectively promotes the recruitment and activation of effector T cells by inhibiting aberrant activation of Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT‐3) pathway in microglia, and assists activated effector T cells in killing tumor cells by blocking elevated immune checkpoint proteins in malignant glioma. Eventually, as adjuvant therapy, the rationally designed nano‐immuno‐synergist hinders malignant glioma progression and recurrence with or without temozolomide. The work demonstrates the feasibility of a nano‐formulation for microglia‐based immunotherapy, which may provide a new direction for the treatment of brain tumors.
