Basic reproductive strategies of Glossopterids: supraidioadaptive divergence from the viewpoint of a non-Gondwana Palaeobotanist
Authors: Naugolnykh Serge V. 
Published: September 2022

The paper deals with two main tendencies in the reproductive adaptations of the glossopterids (order Glossopteridales Pant, 1982, class Glossopteridopsida Banerjee, 1984). The life conditions in densely inhabited communities compelled the glossopterids to use two considerably different reproductive strategies. The glossopterids with the ovuliferous reproductive organs similar to Scutum Plumstead, i.e the large number of closely related genera, such as Bifariala Prevec et al., Dictyopteridium Feistmantel ex Zeiller, Hirsutum Plumstead, Homevaleia Nishida et al., Lanceolatus Plumstead, Ottokaria Zeiller emend. Pant & Nautiyal, Pluma Plumstead, Plumsteadia (= Cystella) Rigby, Plumsteadiostrobus Chandra & Surange, Venustostrobus Chandra & Surange, etc, were barochorous and produced very many small unwinged seeds. The seeds of that type of glossopterid fructifications fell down due to gravitation nearby the parent plant, after they detached from the reproductive organ. The chance for successful germination was minimal for these plants because of high density of plant population, and it was compensated by large amount of the produced seeds. The plants with the female reproductive organs of the genus Partha Surange & Chandra and similar genera Denkania Surange & Chandra, Lidgettonia Thomas, Rusangea Lacey et al. produced small numbers of relatively large seeds with well–developed wings. These plants were anemochorous. Their seeds were dispersed by wind over long distances, far away from the parent plant, and because of this the chance for successful germination of those plants was much higher. The direct result of this was the reduction of seed numbers on the fructifications of the second type.
Such diversification of reproductive strategies expressed in different styles of propagate dissemination (i.e. type of seed dispersal) was characteristic of glossopterids in all the Gondwana regions. This process agrees well with the concept of supraidioadaptive effects proposed by the present author.
Depositional environments in the White Nile Valley during the last 300,000 years
Authors: Williams Martin A.J. , Snow Michael R. , Self Peter G. , Raven Mark D. , Cowan E. Jun 
Published: September 2022

Before regulation, the White Nile contributed 83% of the low water flow to the main Nile and was responsible for maintaining the Nile as a perennial river during times of drought in Ethiopia. Two key unresolved questions relating to the White Nile are:
(a) When did the White Nile first join the main Nile?
(b) What type of sediment did the White Nile contribute to the main Nile?
The answer to the first question has important implications for our understanding of hydro–climatic and tectonic events in the Ugandan Lake Plateau. The answer to the second question is essential for correctly interpreting the sedimentary record preserved in the Nile deep sea fan in the eastern Mediterranean. Our work has shown for the first time that the White Nile has been transporting smectite–rich sediments from the time of its probable inception over 240 ka ago and possibly since about 400 ka. Our analysis of the heavy mineral assemblages in White Nile alluvial sediments provides strong support for a source in the Lake Plateau region of Uganda. The White Nile was flowing from Uganda by at least 240 ka and very likely from about 400 ka.

Evaluation of Climate Change Impacts on the Geographic Distribution of Fritillaria imperialis L. (Liliaceae) (Turkey)
Authors: Demir Aynur , Aydin-Kandemir Fulya 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Fritillaria imperialis
is a bulbous plant that has increased commercial value and contributes to rural development in Turkey. It is widely utilized in traditional medicine and pharmacy, and has great potential for use in modern pharmaceuticals in the future. As the effects of climate change on this plant have not been documented, this study aimed to understand how climate change might affect
F. imperialis
. The methodology of the study was divided into three steps: (

i

) database development, including the current distribution zones of
F. imperialis
and climatic parameters such as temperature and precipitation data; (

ii

) determination of the plant’s temperature and precipitation requirements; and (

iii

) Ecocrop’s plant climate suitability modeling (PCSM). As a result of the study, it was determined that climatic suitability would decrease below 20% in the plant’s current distribution area between 2,000 m and 3,000 m altitude. For the zones between 500–1,000 m altitude, the climatic suitability will be as high as 100%. Although there are zones where climatic suitability will increase by 2070, the general trend shows that suitability will decrease. This change in the plant ecosystem is explained by the decreased winter precipitation and snowfall but increased temperature and evaporation at higher altitudes.
Fritillaria imperialis
is expected to shift its geographic distribution to lower altitudes because of climate change.

PENDIDIKAN AKHLAK MENURUT IBNU MISKAWAIH
Authors: Yusuf M 
Published: September 2022

Ibnu Miskawaih merupakan intelektual pertama dalam bidang filsafat akhlak. Pemikiran Ibnu Miskawaih dalam bidang akhlak termasuk salah satu yang mendasari konsepnya dalam bidang pendidikan. Konsep akhlak yang ditawarkannya berdasarkan pada doktrin jalan tengah. Artinya dari ketiga jiwa yang mendasari akhlak manusia, ada induk akhlakul karimah yaitu menjaga diri (iffah), perwira (as-saj’ah), dan kebijaksanaan (al hikmah). Alasan mengapa Ibnu Miskawaih menggunakan doktrin akhlak jalan tengah adalah jelan tengah merupakan nuasa dinamis, yang selalu mengikuti perkembangan zaman, tanpa menghilangkan nilai-nilai esensial akhlak. Ibnu Miskawaih menetapkan kemungkinan manusia mengalami perubahan-perubahan Khulq, dan dari segi inilah maka diperlukan adanya aturan-aturan syari’at, diperlukan adanya nasihat-nasihat dan berbagai macam ajaran tentang adab dan sopan santun. Dengan memakai aturan pribadi moral, Miskwaih membagi kebijaksanaan menjadi tujuh: ketajaman intelegensi, kesigapan akal, kejelasan pemahaman, fasilitas perolehan, ketepatan dalam membedakan, penyimpanan dan pengungkapan kembali. Sebelas bagian dalam keberanian yaitu: kemurah hatian, kebersamaan, ketinggian pengharapan, keteguhan, kesejukan, keterarahan, keberanian, kesabaran, kerendahdirian, semangat dan kepengampunan; dua belas dalam kesederhanaan yaitu: malu, ramah, benar, damai, manahan diri, sabar, berarti, tenang, shaleh, keteraturan, menyeluruh dan kebebasan; dan sembilan belas bagian dalam keadilan, yaitu: persahabatan, persatuan, kepercayaan, kasih sayang, persaudaraan, pengajaran, keserasian, hubungan yang terbuka, ramah tamah, taat, penyerahdirian, pengabdian pada Tuhan, meninggalkan permusuhan, tidak membicarakan sesuatu yang menyakiti orang lain, membahas sifat keadilan, tak mengenal ketidakadilan dan lepas dari mempercayai yang hina, pedagang yang jahat dan penipu.
Metode Menghafal Al Qur’an di Rumah Tahfidz Al-Ikhlas Kelurahan Batipuh Panjang Kecamatan Koto Tangah Kota Padang
Authors: Nursyamsi Nursyamsi 
Published: September 2022

Menghafal merupakan suatu kegiatan yang mengikut sertakan aktivitas ingatan di dalamnya. Menurut pakar Psikologi Anak, ingatan anak pada usia 8-15 tahun ini mencapai intensitas yang paling besar dan paling kuat. Daya menghafal dan daya memorisasi (sama dengan sengaja memasukan dan melekatkan pengetahuan dalam ingatan) adalah paling kuat, dan anak mampu memuat jumlah materi ingatan paling banyak. Walaupun anak-anak belum dapat memahami al-Qur’an seutuhnya, namun banyak manfaat yang diperoleh dengan menghafal al-Qur’an sedari kecil. Yusuf Qardhawi menyatakan, “kami telah menghafal al-Qur’an dan menyimpannya dalam hati semenjak kanak-kanak itu, kemudian Allah SWT memberikan manfaat kepada kami saat dewasa. Sedangkan fenomena yang ada di masyarakat saat ini bahwa sudah banyak lembaga-lembaga serta sekolah-sekolah Islam atau instansi-instansi lainnya yang memasukan kegiatan tahfidz al-Qur’an sebagai salah satu kegiatan rutin, memberikan metode-metode yang dapat diterima sehingga kegiatan menghafal tidak lagi menjadi kegiatan yang membosankan.

Published: September 2022

Today, using technology is an urgent requirement in the process of both teaching and learning English language. As a result, both teachers and learners need more devices and tools in order to accomplish their goals and develop their skills.
This study gives an overview of the recently developed applications of digital technology used in teaching and learning English language. The researchers try to focus on the online classrooms and the applications widely used at recent years after the sudden attack of corona virus that disables the educational systems in most countries over the world. The paper also tries to link the pedagogical system based on technology with the theories and methods of education, and finding out to which school such system is related to. The study ends with a brief account on the outcomes of using technology in both language teaching and learning on the language skills i.e. listening, reading, writing and speaking.

Published: September 2022

Muchos organismos vivos poseen la capacidad de adaptarse a las condiciones adversas del ambiente. Lo anterior se realiza para poder sobrevivir y asegurar una continuidad en su especie. Uno de los ambientes más tóxicos que se ha generado es la contaminación del medio. Esta ha sido resultado de la sobreproducción y el mal manejo de materiales usados por el ser humano. El agua constituye un buen ejemplo de ambiente contaminado. La contaminación ambiental ha servido como un modo de selección de varias formas microbianas, las cuales han expresado diferentes mecanismos de acción para poder adaptarse y sobrevivir al medio ambiente en el cual se desarrollan. En la Ciudad de Tuxtepec, Oaxaca y sus poblados aledaños existe un grave problema de contaminación del agua debido al mal uso de los desechos generados en industrias y hogares. Se eligieron tres afluentes, el primero fue el rio Papaloapan y dos más localizados en colonias cercanas a este. A partir de esas muestras se aislaron e identificaron, mediante diferentes metodologías (microbiológicas y de biología molecular) tres hongos microscópicos y una levadura, los cuales fueron sembrados de forma separada para su posterior estudio. Los hongos identificados fueron Aspergillus sección flavi, Penicillium citrinum y Paecilomyces lilacinus. La levadura fue Cándida parapsilosis. En este trabajo se muestran los resultados obtenidos de los aislamientos y las características microbiológicas de las cepas aisladas e identificadas. Es importante conocer y estudiar cepas microbianas (bacterias, levaduras y hongos) que sean capaces de tolerar concentraciones altas de agentes tóxicos diversos, como los metales pesados para, posteriormente, establecer protocolos de investigación que tengan como finalidad su uso como microorganismos capaces de llevar acabo la biodegradación.
Water Quality Effects on Growth and Survival of Oreochromis jipe and Oreochromis niloticus Species in Aquaculture
Authors: O. Omweno Job , Getabu Albert , Omondi Reuben , S. Orina Paul 
Published: September 2022

The study was conducted at Kegati Aquaculture Center (KMFRI) for 12 weeks to evaluate the effect of water quality parameters on the growth and survival rates of Oreochromis jipe and Oreochromis niloticus. The fingerlings (n = 270), were stocked in triplicates in 9m2 raised ponds arranged in double series and fed on a 30% CP ration twice a day at 10% total bodyweight. Water quality parameters were measured daily using the YSI multi-parameter meter. Fish total length and bodyweight was determined biweekly using a measuring board and a digital weighing balance, respectively, and survivals were determined from the initial and final counts of fingerlings. Data were analyzed with an unpaired sample t-test using R-software and statistical significance was considered at p < 0.05. Temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), and salinity showed no significant differences, whereas the pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) levels were significantly different (p < 0.05) between the O. jipe and O. niloticus. Furthermore, O. jipe attained a lower final mean weight (12.16 ± 0.34 g) compared to O. niloticus (29.79 ± 0.91 g). The study recommends a further study be conducted in a controlled culture environment to establish optimal conditions for O. jipe culture.
Beginning with the Unlimited: Badiou and Plotinus on What Comes First
Authors: Ploug Anna Cornelia 
Published: September 2022

The philosophical system of L'être et l'événement is launched with the explicit denial of ‘The One’ as grounding principle, because any philosophy that begins by positing an original unity (whether a unique, absolute being or an atom) will, according to Alain Badiou, inevitably turn out to be nothing but disguised theology. This denial, captured in the formula ”l'un, en effet, n'est pas" (Badiou 1988, 47), constitutes the precursory decision taken by Badiou in order to develop an ontological architecture, which permits pure multiplicity as its base. Who would be a more obvious counterpart for this announcement than Plotinus, the ultimate thinker of The One? While Badiou is not concerned specifically with reading or criticising neither Plotinus nor Neoplatonism as such, all the necessary aspects that he seeks to escape are present in the latter: The One of the Enneads is a transcendent unity, inaccessible to thought and beyond being. Badiou, on his part, insists that since The One is not, what originally is rather amounts to ‘inconsistent’ multiplicity, the pur multiple. Furthermore, he points to the process of ‘structuring situations’, i.e. arranging utter differentiation into consistent wholes, as the only place for unity: unity is nothing more than the operation of unifying, the compte-pour-un. However, I will argue that our understanding can benefit from subjecting certain schemes in the two authors to reconciliation instead of merely accepting the seeming antagonism. More specifically, I will show that there can be found a decisive resemblance in their perspectives on what comes first.
Long-term Quality of Life After Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Published: September 2022

ImportanceDefinitive treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) with curative parathyroidectomy has been shown to improve nonspecific neurocognitive symptoms and may improve long-term quality of life (QOL). However, QOL is not currently routinely assessed preoperatively, and as a result, diminished QOL may be overlooked as an indication for surgery.ObjectiveTo examine results for measures of long-term QOL after parathyroidectomy in patients with pHPT.Evidence ReviewA systematic, English-language literature review was performed to assess the long-term association of parathyroidectomy, defined as a minimum of 1-year postoperative follow-up, with QOL in patients with pHPT. We conducted a search of PubMed and Scopus using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms for hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid hormone, parathyroidectomy, hypercalcemia, and quality of life. All relevant literature published between June 1998 and February 15, 2021, was included. Study selection was guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) strategy.FindingsThirty-one studies conducted in 14 countries with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up were included, comprising 3298 patients with pHPT (2975 underwent parathyroidectomy; 323 were observed), 5445 age- and sex-matched control participants, and 386 control patients with benign thyroid disease. To assess QOL, 21 studies (68%) used a general tool, the 36-item Short Form Survey (SF-36), and 8 (26%) used the disease-specific tool Parathyroidectomy Assessment of Symptoms (PAS). The remaining studies used a combination of 10 additional QOL tools. The median follow-up period was 1 year (range, 1-10 years). Of the 31 studies, 27 (87%) demonstrated significant score improvement in long-term QOL after parathyroidectomy, including 1 study that showed continued improvement in QOL 10 years after parathyroidectomy. The remaining 4 studies (13%) reported mixed results.Conclusions and RelevanceThis systematic review suggests that parathyroidectomy is associated with improved and sustained QOL in patients with pHPT. Patients with pHPT should be screened with a validated QOL tool such as the SF-36 or PAS at the time of diagnosis to guide discussion of these symptoms in the preoperative setting and the potential for long-term improvement after curative parathyroidectomy.
