This study compares methods of providing access to diverse points of view as represented by journals indexed in Alternative Press Index (API). To determine University at Albany patron access to nonmainstream periodicals, local print subscriptions, expedited interlibrary loan through resource-sharing consortia, and electronic full-text packages were compared to periodicals listed in API. Electronic full-text packages provide some added access to nonmainstream journals. However, much greater access was found to be provided by participation in resource-sharing networks.

Full textAbstract:
Power to the People: Counterculture, Social Movements, and the Alternative Press, Nineteenth to Twenty-First Century is a Gale database (released in 2023) that documents four distinct primary source collections and three alterative press publications, encompassing ∼600,000 pages of material. It is an aptly named database, covering how counterculture activists/organizations and alternative presses shaped the formation of various social movements in the modern United States and United Kingdom. A broad range of ideas and initiatives can be found within the database, spanning topics such as gender equality, civil rights, antiwar efforts, labor movements, and environmental justice. It is also important to note that the primary source contributors represent diverse voices, from artists to satirists to grassroots organizers. Highlighting those voices may be aligned with broader decolonizing collections efforts underway at some institutions.The four highlighted collections and three alternative press titles include: <list list-type="simple"> <list-item> The Pacific Coast Counterculture Collection (Robert P.J. Cooney, Jr.)</list-item> <list-item> Special Collections on Peace, Politics, and Social Change, Commonweal Library, University of Bradford</list-item> <list-item> Left-wing politics and radical political movement pamphlets, Ron Heisler Collection housed, University of London</list-item> <list-item> The Liberal Students of the 1960s Collection, University of Michigan</list-item> <list-item> Fortean Times (1976‐2020)</list-item> <list-item> Bizarre (1997‐2015)</list-item> <list-item> Viz (1979‐2020)</list-item> </list>The above grants community members, students, and faculty access to primary source materials that are contextually related yet geographically isolated from each other. Given Gale’s relatively large primary source suite of databases, this product complements the overall efforts Gale has made in curating distinct databases that cover relatively focused topics. Being able to cross-search across Gale’s primary source collections through a unified platform adds value to this product, depending on preexisting Gale primary source holdings.

Published as two of geography's first open-access, online collections, Radical Theory/Critical Praxis (edited by Rob Kitchin and Duncan Fuller) and Critical Geographies: A Collection of Readings (edited by Harald Bauder and Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro) mark what is hopefully the beginning of more expansive challenge to the current political economy of academic publication. The editors note the immediate difficulties of such an experiment: copyright limitations of previously published work; desires to capitalize on the value of such collections; RAE and tenure pressures; and the “currency” of a new, alternative press.

"Chemical composition and in vitro digestibility of alternative feed resources for ruminants in Mediterranean climates: olive cake and cactus cladodes." Journal of Agricultural Science 157, no. 03 (April 2019): 260–71. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021859619000558.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractOlive cake (OC) and cactus cladodes (CCs) are two alternative feed resources widely available in Mediterranean areas. Their use in ruminant diets was assessed according to their chemical composition, secondary compound levels and digestibility. The effects of the olive oil extraction period and process, and CCs age and sampling period were evaluated. OC was collected monthly, from November to January, from mills using either a mechanical press or 2-phase or 3-phase centrifugation processes. CCs were collected fortnightly according to age (young and mature) from April to June. Two-phase OC had the lowest content of dry matter (DM), the highest nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and total and hydrolysable tannins and was more rapidly fermentable. Mechanical press OC was the least digestible. OC DM, protein and NFE were affected linearly by the extraction period. Gas production (GP), in vitro digestibility parameters and dry and organic enzymatic digestibility changed with the extraction period. Therefore, OC chemical composition and in vitro digestibility depended mainly on the extraction process and period. Compared to mature CCs , young CCs contained more water, protein, ether-extract and phenolic compounds, but less ash and fibre. GP and digestibility parameters were not affected by age, but in vitro organic matter digestibility and microbial biomass production were higher in young cladodes. CCs chemical composition, GP and digestibility parameters were influenced by the collection period. Due to its limited nutritional quality, OC should be enriched in nitrogen, while CCs could be considered as highly valuable forage in ruminant diet.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the creation of a national index of sexist violence in Argentina in 2016 as an example of data activism in the Global South. Drawing upon a qualitative content analysis of press coverage and activist posts on social media, as well as interviews with activists, it describes the context of the #NiUnaMenos feminist mobilization and the collection “from below” of data on gender violence. This study illustrates how activists in the Global South can appropriate technology and promote new uses that not only respond to their local and immediate needs but also contribute to the production of alternative imaginaries on big data in the longer term. Moreover, the article positions women’s movements as an essential component of current social movements in Latin America.

This study uses the list of periodicals indexed by Alternative Press Index to examine the holdings rates of alternative press titles in U.S. ARL libraries. Holdings rates are examined by library, by title, and by subject category. Alternative press titles are not widely held in U.S. ARL libraries. Titles falling into categories such as leftist/Marxist politics, gay/lesbian, and labor are particularly underrepresented in library holdings, as are titles that are newsletters or magazines. The impact of these low holdings rates on scholars, students, and archival library collections is discussed.

Ather Farouqi’s edited book Muslims and Media Images: News VersusViews examines the Hindi and Urdu press as well as Hindi and regional languagefilms. The uniqueness of the collection lies in the grounded approachtaken to study the topic of media images of Indian Muslims. Along with anintroduction and two appendices, this volume consists of nineteen mainlyshort chapters organized in four sections that highlight the experiences ofmedia practitioners, who provide their own accounts and testimonies. Consistingof journalists, newspaper editors, filmmakers, and academics ‒ thecontributors to this volume are writing from the field, while incorporatinghistorical components in a tone embedded in a storytelling style. Althoughcertain generalizations and scattered links between chapters might distractreaders, such grounded conversations are valuable to academics interestedin generating theory from the practice of making media. Most authors providedvivid examples here from their own involvement in the process ofwriting or editing news, while relying on a minimal use of citations, whichpresents an interesting alternative format to standard academic studies.This book offers relevant reading to scholars of Islamic studies, communication,journalism, cinema, political science, and readers interested inIndian media and Muslim representations ...

There is a growing interest in alternative forms of pedagogy for students in K–12 settings. Free improvisation, a relatively new and unfamiliar genre, offers potential as an ensemble for teachers to provide in order to offer more egalitarian and creative music experiences for their students. The purpose of this multiple case study was to determine common elements of instruction among four university free-improvisation instructors in order to inform K–12 music education. Pauline Oliveros, Fred Frith, Ed Sarath, and David Ballou were interviewed and observed in order to find common elements among their teaching. Data collection included transcripts from interviews and field notes, recordings, course materials, and other documents, such as course syllabi, university catalogues, texts, and press material about the pedagogues. The common themes that emerged among the four pedagogues included an array of unique teaching exercises, facility with nontraditional vocabulary, the establishment of a safe and egalitarian teaching space, lack of evaluation, leader as guide, comfort with spontaneity, and pedagogue as performer/improviser. The conclusion offers ideas for implementing these ideas in K–12 and music teacher education.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe history of judgment and decision making is defined by a trend toward increasingly nuanced explanations of the decision making process. Recently, process models have become incredibly sophisticated, yet the tools available to directly test these models have not kept pace. These increasingly complex process models require increasingly complex process data by which they can be adequately tested. We propose a new class of data collection that will facilitate evaluation of sophisticated process models. Tracking mouse paths during a continuous response provides an implicit measure of the growth of preference that produces a choice—rather than the current practice of recording just the button press that indicates that choice itself. Recent research in cognitive science (Spivey & Dale, 2006) has shown that cognitive processing can be revealed in these dynamic motor responses. Unlike current process methodologies, these response dynamics studies can demonstrate continuous competition between choice options and even online preference reversals. Here, in order to demonstrate the mechanics and utility of the methodology, we present an example response dynamics experiment utilizing a common multi-alternative decision task.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeWhilst criticisms of current research methodology and method when assessing the performance of a building can be suggested, no practical or achievable alternatives have been found. It suggests that existing approaches fail to consider the often‐irrational perceptions of humans who inhabit the buildings. This paper proposes a change in both methodology and method when assessing building performance.Design/methodology/approachThe method developed for this research project involved a four‐stage process which was designed to achieve consistency with the methodology. Fundamental to the methodological approach taken and developed in this research is the concept of beta press. The variables used for analysis must be those chosen by participants in the building and not the alpha press variables of non‐participant observers. The method chosen for collection of the participant variables was focus group meetings incorporating a modified Delphi selection exercise. A survey sought information on the occupier's personal working space.FindingsThere are a number of variables that are performing well in terms of matching occupiers' rating of importance and their satisfaction with the subject building. There are also a number of variables where perceived performance exceeds importance. Only where there is a significant difference in the distribution is there an issue to be identified.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research could be to develop this methodological approach to investigate the possibility of correlating the results with investment performance of buildings. This may seek to establish relationships between yields, rent levels and occupancy rates with the perception mapping of the occupants. In the short‐term research of this nature may be used by organisations to better understand the behaviour of their workforce in the work environment. It can isolate issues or clusters of issues that can be addressed and immediate results can be considered.Originality/valueThis research has provided a justification and rationale for an alternative methodological approach to the evaluation of building performance. Previous research in this field has been largely positivist and has not considered a behavioural dimension.

Full textAbstract:
In the wake of the Russian Revolution, labor radicals believed that they had discovered the ideal organizational form: internationally affiliated parties of professional revolutionaries to coordinate the activities of national trade unions and mass political parties toward revolutionary ends. Communist “vanguard” parties proved capable of mobilizing masses but also of imposing dictatorial control over entire labor movements and for decades defended Joseph Stalin's hecatombs. Many of today's labor militants have ransacked the contemporary political scene for alternative methods of bringing unions into mass politics. The provocative and important collection edited by Ronaldo Munck and Peter Waterman argues that labor radicals should emulate social movements such as the peace, environmental, and feminist movements.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOver the past years, two important challenges to traditional conceptions of international law have come to the fore: pluralism and informality. Pluralism refers to the fact that global society is characterized by multiple legal systems that frequently overlap. Informality refers to the increasing relevance of non-traditional actors, processes and outputs in the realm of international law. Two recent books provide important contributions to enhancing our understanding of these challenges. In the first book, Nico Krisch presents a powerful plea that in a ‘postnational’ context legal pluralism is to be preferred over its alternative, transferring constitutionalism to the global level. In the second book, Joost Pauwelyn, Ramses Wessel and Jan Wouters offer a collection of essays that seek to further knowledge of the concept, legal nature, impacts and accountability of ‘informal international lawmaking’. In reviewing these two books, this review essay seeks to identify avenues for further inquiry in the area of transnational environmental law.

Artykuł ma na celu ukazanie przeobrażeń cyklicznych form polskiego reportażu wskutek ekspansji nowych technologii medialnych. Analizę ukierunkowuje pojęcie cyklu będącego zbiorem autonomicznych, choć skorelowanych narracji cząstkowych, publikowanych w ustalonym porządku, miejscu i czasie. Mechanizm ten jest rozpatrywany w perspektywie diachronicznej na przykładzie wybranych relacji reporterskich, omówionych w trzech częściach opisowych. Pierwsza ilustruje rozwój prasowych serii reportaży, drukowanych na wzór powieści odcinkowych w gazetach i czasopismach przełomu XIX i XX wieku. Druga dotyczy fazy ewolucji cykli dziennikarskich w efekcie ich przenikania do internetu i przekształcania w doświadczenia konwergencyjne. Trzecia, finalna część zawiera przegląd cyklicznych innowacji gatunkowych, które powstały w mediach społecznościowych jako alternatywa wobec konwencjonalnych metod dokumentowania faktów. Wyróżnione tendencje pozwalają sformułować tezę o stopniowym zastępowaniu reportażu literackiego przez szerzej rozumianą intencję reporterską, która uwidacznia się w relacjach kreowanych przy użyciu różnych kodów i platform medialnych. From the press episode to snap. New dimensions of cyclicality of Polish reportage The aim of this article is to show the transformation of cyclic forms of Polish reporting due to the expansion of new media technologies. This analysis is directed by the concept of cycle as a collection of autonomous, though correlated partial narratives published in the appointed order at a certain place and time. This mechanism is examined in the diachronic perspective on the example of selected reporting accounts, discussed in three depictive parts. The first one illustrates the development of the press series of reporting, printed similar to serialised novels in newspapers and magazines at the turn of the 19th and 20th century. The second portion of the article concerns the phase in which journalistic cycles have evolved as a result of integrating the internet and turning into a convergence experience. The final section of the article contains an overview of cyclic genre innovations, that have developed in social media as an alternative to conventional methods of documenting facts. The distinguished tendencies allow for a thesis that literary reporting is gradually being replaced by more broadly understood reporter’s intention which reveals itself in accounts created through different codes and media platforms.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most fascinating phenomena in contemporary art cinema is the re-emergence of a corporeal cinema, that is, of filmmaking practices (and, by extension, of theoretical approaches) that give precedence to cinema as the medium of the senses. This article thus explores trends of filmmaking and film theorizing where the experience of cinema is conceived as a unique combination of sensation and thought, of affect and reflection. It argues that, reconnecting with a certain tradition of French film theory in particular, contemporary French cinema offers a point in case: a large collection of recently released French films typify this willingness to explore cinema's unique capacity to move us both viscerally and intellectually. In turn, the article suggests that such films, envisaged as forms of embodied thought, offer alternative ways, beyond that of mere appropriation and consumption, of envisaging the relationship of subjects to art, and, by extension, of subjects to objective world.

Full textAbstract:
Having been asked in February 1700 by The Royal Society to respond to G. W. Leibniz's letter from Hanover about the decision of the German states to accept a so-called ‘improved calendar’, Isaac Newton, then Master of the Mint, developed a proposal for the reform of the Julian and Ecclesiastical calendars that was later found among his unpublished manuscripts (now grouped as Yahuda MS 24). His calendar, if implemented, would have become for England a viable alternative to the Gregorian. Despite having a different algorithm, its solar part agrees with the latter until ad 2400 and is more precise in the long run, within a period of 5000 years. Although Newton's lunar algorithm is more elegant than the Gregorian, his Ecclesiastical calendar remained incomplete. We explain why blank spaces were left and data were changed in several of the manuscripts, discuss the time frame and the order in which Newton wrote different drafts of Yahuda MS 24, analyse their relation with three manuscripts from the Cambridge collection, and suggest a reason for Newton's delay and failure to press for the implementation of his calendar. Newton, as can be discerned from his statistical analysis of Hipparchus's equinox observations, can be credited, historically, with the first application of the technique known today as linear regression analysis and also with a remarkable guess about the ancient Greek observations of the equinoxes that recently has been confirmed.

One of the ways that the designers and the fashion brands select to present and advertise their new collection to the market, the press and the consumer is through the fashion show. In a national context, these fashion shows, which can be for the brand or the designer or multi-brand, have very similar formats, however, at the international level, we can find numerously diverse approaches to the aesthetics of the fashion show of a brand or a designer. The use of digital technologies has become an already adopted alternative in some fashion shows of international reference. Digital technologies seek to make the virtual experience of consumers as close as possible to reality, whether in the direct sale of a product or the promotion of an individual product, brand or lifestyle, through a concept or idea. Fashion film, with its more conceptual, independent and bold nature, has been contributing to the diffusion of the border between the virtual and the real and to create unique experiences for the audiences. Thus, it has been gaining a strong presence in the world of fashion and has conquered diverse audiences. This work presents some examples of international fashion shows that resorted to the use of various applications of digital technologies and, more specifically, the case study of Castelo Branco Moda #19 and the use of audiovisual for the creation of a fashion film outlining the concept and opening of the fashion show.

The automotive industry is one of the most advanced industries in the world. The demand for vehicles keeps increasing over time, mainly influenced by technology’s sophistication and impressive designs. This research is focusing on the production performance of the stamping process in Malaysia’s automotive industry. The main issue observed and evidenced in data collected from industry players is that an unacceptably long time is taken in the die/tooling change process, which grossly affects the planned production output. The most significant direct impact on this situation is the increase in operating costs due to additional time taken to meet the planned production output. Therefore, this research aims to establish a new framework that can optimise the efficiency of the dies changeover process, which could lower the overall production cost, which could partially transfer the saving to the consumers. The study was conducted in two stages; the first is on data collection correlates with the automotive stamping premise to create a simulation procedure, and the second is to analyse the current production output using WITNESS simulation. These simulated output data have later been compared to the actual industrial data. Using a systematic dies changeover process, a new alternative framework was proposed. The framework combined single minute exchange of die (SMED), lean tools and simulation to become an integrated single minute exchange of die (ISMED). It shows that the proposed method decreased the changeovers processes from the initial of 1509.5 seconds to 750.75 seconds, then further reduced to 569.75 seconds, with the nett time reduction of 62.2%. The result shows that the daily production output has increased gradually from 1100 pieces to 1500 pieces, further increasing to 2145 pieces. As evidenced in analytical data, it is believed that this new framework can strengthen the total output in the manufacturing process, especially in the manufacturing of automotive stamping parts.

AbstractThe article re-examines the key debates concerning the relationship between the Russian factory-committee movement and the Bolshevik Party and Soviet state in 1917‐18. It does so with reference to a four-volume collection of documents in Russian on the history of the factory-committees in 1917/18 which first began to be published in 1927 and completed publication in 2002. Rather than the traditional totalitarian view of a movement which was cynically manipulated and dominated by an authoritarian party, what emerges is a much more complex and dynamic relationship. The article in particular argues that the so-called bureaucratisation of the factory-committee movement after the October Revolution emerged out of the practical dilemmas faced by the committees in the economic chaos of 1917/18 and the factory-committee leaders’ own desires to promote a rational, planned alternative to that chaos.

The second goal of Sustainable Development (SDGs) is the realization of sustainable agriculture to reducing hunger and achieve food security. One of the indicators of sustainable agriculture is social equality which includes fairness in access to information and market access. However, in practice, in realizing social justice, many smallholders cannot access information and markets, resulting in social inequality. Especially in Riau Province, which is the largest palm oil producer in Indonesia, contradictory conditions exist in the trading system for palm oil fresh fruit bunches (FFB), which still leaves independent farmers with many problems. They do not get prices according to government regulations because they have not entered into a partnership with the Palm Oil Company (POC). To overcome this problem, the Riau Provincial Government formed a partnership palm oil pricing team involving the private sector, community, academics and the press. The aim of this research is to create dynamics of collaborative governance in determining prices for palm oil FFB in Riau Province in order to achieve justice in sustainable agriculture. This research uses a postpositivist approach with descriptive qualitative methods. Using data collection techniques in the form of participant observation and indepth interviews can offer alternative solutions to the problem of inequality in justice for independent farmers. The findings reveal that the dynamics of collaboration between parties, joint motivation to collaborate and equitable pricing, and there is a capacity for joint action in the pricing of oil palm FFB in Riau Province. These three factors have proven effective in providing open access to information and markets for independent partners and nonpartner oil palm smallholders in Riau Province.

Full textAbstract:
Rumex acetosa L., common name sorrel (in Brazil, azedinha), is an herb from Europe and Asia commonly used either as a vegetable or a medicinal plant (1). No pathogen has been recorded on this plant species in Brazil, where it has been promoted as an alternative vegetable crop. During a routine inspection of a vegetable garden in the campus of the Universidade Federal de Viçosa (Viçosa, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil) in July 2011, a group of sorrel plants were found bearing blight symptoms. Infected leaves had laminae with soaked irregular necrotic areas and infected petioles had reddish lesions. Healthy leaves touched by neighboring blighted leaves became diseased. A mycelial web was always associated with necrotic tissues. A representative specimen was collected, dried in a plant press, and deposited in the local herbarium (VIC 39063). Pure cultures were obtained through direct transfer of mycelium to PDA plates and deposited in the culture collection at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa – Coleção Oswaldo Almeida Drummond (COAD 1265). Slides containing fungal structures were mounted in lactophenol and observed under a microscope (Olympus BX 51). The fungus had the following morphology: mycelium superficial, either filiform or monilioid and constricted at septae, 6 to 10 μm diameter, often branching at right angles or nearly so, typically bearing a septum at branches near the branching point. Additionally, large, poorly differentiated, dirty white sclerotia were formed in older cultures. When mounted in DAPI, 7-day-old mycelium was seen to bear 5 to 13 nuclei per cell. These characteristics suggested that the fungus was Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn (RS). Anastomosis group (AG) was determined by sequencing the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region using primers ITS5 and ITS4 (4). A BLAST search revealed that the sequence (GenBank Accession No. KC887353) had 96% sequence identity with RS AG-1-IB GenBank accessions JN426850.1, GU596491.1, JQ692292.1, and JQ692291.1. Pathogenicity of the isolate obtained from sorrel was tested by inoculating four healthy individuals with culture plugs taken from the margin of actively growing cultures on V8 juice agar. Inoculated plants were placed in a dew chamber for 48 h and later transferred to the bench of a greenhouse. Necrosis appeared on all inoculated plants 2 days after inoculation, developing into severe blight after 7 days. RS was isolated from infected tissues. RS AG-1-IB is known as a broad host-range plant pathogen (3). This is its first report as a pathogen of sorrel in Brazil. The sole other published record of this disease on sorrel is from the United States (2). References: (1) N. R. Madeira et al. Hortic. Brasil. 26:428, 2008. (2) G. L. Peltier.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to present the book Education, Economy and Society, edited by Salim Vally and Enver Motala (UNISA Press, Pretoria, 2014), which highlights the main concepts introduced and discussed. Design/methodology/approach The study primarily summarizes the critique of human capital theory (HCT) which is developed in the book. This is done using different approaches and is comprehensive in scope. The study also introduces some of the alternative visions of education as presented by the contributing authors. The author of the review also draws on other literature which addresses the same fields. Findings HCT dominates the discourse on the role of education in society, but the concept is hard to measure and evidence of its importance is scant. Despite the criticism of this theory, it continues to dominate the mainstream economic theory. Research limitations/implications The main premise merits more systematic study, ideally drawing on more extensive literature, and extending beyond the confines of any one country. As a review, this study aimed to maintain a focus on this one important collection. Social implications HCT tends to promote a view of education as a tool of material economic progress. This excludes a discussion of social justice and de-emphasizes the role of education in advancing individual fulfilment and in strengthening democratic values. A view of useful human activity outside of production within a corporate environment is also ignored. This book covers all of these ideas. Originality/value This study draws attention to an important book which discusses the proper role of education in economic development and critiques policy making in South Africa. The book is broad enough in scope to be of relevance to educators, academics and policy makers in the developing and developed worlds.

Abstract In a recent study (Miglbauer, Marlene and Veronika Koller (2019). “‘The British People have Spoken’: Voter Motivations and Identities in Vox Pops on the British EU Referendum.” Veronika Koller, Susanne Kopf and Marlene Miglbauer, eds. Discourses of Brexit. Abingdon: Routledge, 86–103.), we investigated vox pops (short for ‘vox populi,’ i.e. ‘voice of the people’) with self-declared Leave voters in the run-up to the 2016 British EU referendum. The study presented here complements this research with a comparative perspective, exploring the motivations expressed by voters for the German right-wing populist party AfD (Alternative für Deutschland). On the day of the 2017 general election, the German news website Zeit online (ZON) invited its readers to say why they voted AfD. Although the AfD voter profile and the ZON readership profile are noticeably different, the question elicited 468 replies numbering a total of around 59,000 words, which we compiled into a corpus. Working with corpus analysis software AntConc 3.4.1w, we first prised out topics and motivations by analysing this collection of online vox pops for word frequencies as well as collocates and concordances for selected lexical units, before manually grouping the different lexemes into ten topics. In a second step, we manually analysed the data for social actor representation (van Leeuwen, Theo (2008). Discourse and Practice: New Tools for Critical Discourse Analysis. Oxford: Oxford University Press.) and appraisal (Martin, James R. and Peter R. R. White (2005). Appraisal in English. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan.). The results of the analysis show that next to previously documented motivations for right-wing populist votes – e.g. in-group bias and rejection of the Other as morally deficient (Heinisch, Reinhard (2008). “Austria: The Structure and Agency of Austrian Populism.” Daniele Albertazzi and Duncan McDonnell, eds. Twenty-First Century Populism: The Spectre of Western European Democracy. Basingstoke: Palgrave Macmillan, 67–83.) –, the group of AfD voters represented in the written vox pop have specific additional reasons, namely a focus on German chancellor Merkel as an ‘anti-hero’ and a belief of being victimised by the media. An additional, unexpected finding was that a number of posters to the dedicated comment forum explicitly distance themselves from perceived stereotypes of right-wing populist voters. Our findings therefore also problematise previously identified characteristics of right-wing populist discourse as anti-elitist and anti-intellectual (Wodak, Ruth (2015b). The Politics of Fear: What Right-Wing Populist Discourses Mean. Los Angeles: SAGE.) and call into question the support from workers, and associated fears of wage pressure and competition for welfare benefits, as one of the main factors in the success of right-wing populism (Oesch, Daniel (2008). “Explaining Workers’ Support for Right-Wing Populist Parties in Western Europe: Evidence from Austria, Belgium, France, Norway, and Switzerland.” International Political Science Review 29.3, 349–373.).

Full textAbstract:
The possibility has been considered of obtaining of fuel briquettes as an alternative biofuel based on fallen leaves (such tree species as oak and maple) and starch. The starch (a binder) content at the level of 10-30 % allows to produce of the briquettes using a screw press at a pressure of up to 15 MPa. The process of fuel briquettes obtaining from fallen leaves and starch included the following successive stages: collection of raw materials; preparation; averaging; mixing; pressing; drying and the testing of the product properties. At the last stage, the appearance of the obtained briquettes has been evaluated, and then their density (ρ, kg/m3 ), strength (P, MPa), working heat of combustion (Q, MJ/kg) and storage conditions have been determined. Evaluation of the appearance of briquettes showed that the correct geometric shape had those briquettes in which the weight content of the starch was in the range of 20-25 % to leaves weight. It was found out that the maximum value of briquette density (580 kg/m3 ) and compressive strength (4,8 MPa) is observed in the fuel briquettes which contained 25 % of starch. That is, this concentration can be considered optimal for this technology for the production of fuel briquettes. At the same time, the increase of starch content in the fuel briquette leads to an increase its working heat of combustion, which at a starch content of 25 % reached the value of 17.8 MJ/kg. It has been fixed that the influence of temperature (storage at 80 °C for 6 h) or temperature differences (from -10 to 25-30 °C) practically does not affect the form and properties of fuel briquettes obtained from fallen leaves. And the stay of briquettes in a humid environment, on the contrary, leads to its swelling, and, as a consequence, to the impairment of properties. Keywords: fuel briquettes, leaves, starch, pressing, density, strength, heat of combustion, storage conditions. Corresponding author A.B. Grigorov, e-mail: grigorovandrey@ukr.net

Full textAbstract:
Forest-based industries produce huge quantities of bark during their primary processing activities. In Nordic pulp and paper industries, where a wet debarking process is used for bark removal, toxic debarking water and bark press water are produced as a by-product. However, polyphenols represent an important fraction of the debarking water and bark press water. These polyphenolic compounds are of commercial interest in chemical specialty sectors since polyphenols have been proven to have diverse health benefits, and after collecting them from waste sources, they can act as alternatives to oil-based chemicals. Determining the economic potential of polyphenolic compounds, identifying their molecular structure, and determining the antioxidant capacity of these compounds present in debarking water and bark can support the identification of their potential applications. The results show that water extractions from bark have a lower efficiency than (partial) alcoholic extractions. Nevertheless, a considerable amount of low-molecular polyphenolic compounds, which are of interest for high-end applications, was found in all extracts. Bark press water has a highly versatile range of polyphenolic compounds and showed some antioxidant activity, making it a great source for the collection of polyphenolic compounds, in contrast to debarking water, which had a much lower polyphenolic content and low antioxidant activity.

Background: Alzheimer is the primary cause of death in the various countries that affects wide strata of the population. The treatment of it is restricted to a few conventional oral medications that act only superficially. It is evident that the delivery of a drug to the brain across the blood-brain barrier is challenging as the BBB is armed with several efflux transporters like the P-glycoprotein as well as nasal mucociliary clearance adds up leading to decreased concentration and reduced therapeutic efficacy. Considering these, the intranasal IN route of drug administration is emerging as an alternative route for systemic delivery of a drug to the brain. The intranasal (IN) administration of lipid nanoparticles loaded with cerebroactive drugs showed promise in treating various neurodegenerative diseases, since the nasal route allows the direct nose to brain delivery by means of solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN’s). The tailoring of intranasal lipid particulate drug delivery systems is a pleasing approach to facilitate uptake of therapeutic agents at the desired site of action, particularly when a free drug has poor pharmacokinetics/ biodistribution (PK/BD) or significant off-site toxicities. Objectives: 1) In this review, key challenges and physiological mechanisms regulating intranasal brain delivery in Alzheimer’s disease, ex vivo studies, pharmacokinetics parameters including brain uptake and histopathological studies are thoroughly discussed. : 2) A thorough understanding of the in vivo behaviour of the intranasal drug carriers will be the elusive goal. : 3) The article emphasizes to drag the attention of the research community working in the intranasal field towards the challenges and hurdles of the practical applicability of intranasal delivery of cerebroactive drugs. Method: Various electronic databases, journals like nanotechnology and nanoscience, dove press are reviewed for the collection and compilation of data. Results: From in vivo biodistribution studies, pharmacokinetics parameters, and gamma scintigraphy images of various drugs, it is speculated that intranasal lipid particulates drug delivery system shows better brain targeting efficiency for various CNS disorders in comparison to other routes. Conclusion: Various routes are explored for the delivery of drugs to increase bioavailability in the brain for CNS disorders but the intranasal route shows better results that pave the way for success in the future if properly explored.

Sounds produced by the articulation of joints have been shown to contain information characteristic of underlying joint health, morphology, and loading. In this work, we explore the use of a novel form factor for non-invasively acquiring acoustic/vibrational signals from the knee joint: an instrumented glove with a fingertip-mounted accelerometer. We validated the glove-based approach by comparing it to conventional mounting techniques (tape and foam microphone pads) in an experimental framework previously shown to reliably alter healthy knee joint sounds (vertical leg press). Measurements from healthy subjects (N = 11) in this proof-of-concept study demonstrated a highly consistent, monotonic, and significant (p < 0.01) increase in low-frequency signal root-mean-squared (RMS) amplitude—a straightforward metric relating to joint grinding loudness—with increasing vertical load across all three techniques. This finding suggests that a glove-based approach is a suitable alternative for collecting joint sounds that eliminates the need for consumables like tape and the interface noise associated with them.

SUMMARYAims - To examine earlier uses and abuses of artworks by individuals living with severe mental illnesses, and particularly schizophrenia by both the psychiatric and arts communities and prevailing stereotypes associated with such practices. Further, to explore alternative constructions of the artworks and roles of the artist with schizophrenia and other severe mental illnesses, which may be more consistent with amore contemporary recovery orientation, encompassing their potentials for empowerment, social inclusion as citizens and legitimacy of their cultural role in the community. Results - Earlier practices with regardto the artworks of captive patients of psychiatrists, psychotherapists, art therapists, occupational and diversional therapists, often emphasised diagnostic or interpretive purposes, or were used to gauge progress or exemplify particular syndromes. As artists and art historians began to take an interest in such artworks, they emphasised their expressive, communicative and aesthetic aspects, sometimes in relation to primitive art. These efforts to ascribe value to these works, while well-meaning, were sometimes patronising and vulnerable to perversion by totalitarian regimes, which portrayed them as degenerate art, often alongside the works of mainstream modernist artists. This has culminated in revelations that the most prominent European collection of psychiatric art still contains, and appears to have only started to acknowledge since these revelations, unattributed works by hospital patients who were exterminated in the so-called “euthanasia” program in the Nazi era. Conclusions - Terms like Psychiatric Art, Art Therapy, Art Brut and Outsider Art may be vulnerable to abuse and are a poor fit with the aspirations of artists living with severe mental illnesses, who are increasingly exercising their rights to live and work freely, without being captive, or having others controlling their lives, or mediating and interpreting their works. They sometimes do not mind living voluntarily marginal lives as artists, but they prefer to live as citizens, without being involuntarily marginalised by stigma. They also prefer to live with culturally valued roles which are recognised as legitimate in the community, where they are also more likely to heal and recover.Declaration of Interest: This paper was completed during a Visiting Fellowship, Department of Social Medicine, School of Public Health, & Department of Medical Anthropology, Faculty of Arts & Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass, USA.

Full textAbstract:
At a time of when the global crises of pandemic and climate change could be said to offer sufficient challenges to life in the British and Irish Isles, the implementation of Brexit provides a further gargantuan difficulty. Borders, bureaucracies and belief systems dissolve like the certainty that subjects once felt to their connection to states or Unions. Or new borders and systems appear, bringing with them unwieldy new protocols and practices. Shelves empty, goods sit locked in containers; caught up in the holding pattern of another new normal of online retail inertia. Dislocation, fear and anger rise. The epicentre of the Brexit shambles can be said to be located in the ever betwixt and between location of Northern Ireland. Here with its newly imposed sea border with Great Britain and its maintenance of European Union relations with the Republic of Ireland we see a fractured and fractious society struggling as ever to come to terms with how to balance the aspiration of opposing ideologies and national ambitions with an additional level of chaos. In a time of catastrophe what can literature do? This question, often posed during “The Troubles” has very much come back to be painfully reiterated to writers, readers and critics at a time of multiple lockdowns. However, if an examination is made of publishing in Ireland in the last couple of years, we see a buoyant press offering a number of intriguing responses to the significance and efficacy of literature to respond to the current human predicament. In this article I will examine the work of three contemporary writers, Gerald Dawe, Angela Graham, and Dara McAnulty. I will argue that their use of genre (memoir, short story, nature diary) provides a fresh and robust response to the chaotic present of Northern Irish political life. In their separate ways they contest the fixed, static and impermeable political echo chamber of Northern Ireland. Dawe, I contend, seeks a means through his autobiographical work to retrace time and space in the history of the province and articulate alternative ways of interpreting the past. He is able to draw sustenance and restoration from often overlooked times of possibility in his own and the wider story of Belfast. In Graham’s case, I would suggest that her bold and assertive first collection of short stories provides an acerbic and raw inspection of the past but one that also provides glimpses of reconciliation and genuine hope in the face of trauma. I conclude by exploring the work of McAnulty. Ostensibly a diary that traces his engagements with nature, his book is a tour de force that reimagines Ireland as a location gripped in the ravages of the Anthropocene startlingly brought to life by a young man faced with the challenges of autism. Part memoir, part praise poem to nature, it is a remarkable coming of age non-fiction work, which along with Dawe’s and Graham’s writing suggests that Northern Irish literature offers a broad and brilliant retort to the current local and global calamities that we face.

Full textAbstract:
Gunshot residues (GSR) are chemical traces present in the shooter's body. GSR are primarily deposited on the dorsal region of the hands. Metallic microparticles formed by Sb, Ba, and Pb are the main inorganic residues produced by conventional ammunition. These residues are commonly analyzed by SEM-EDS for forensic evidence. Currently, two experimental limitations for forensic GSR analysis exist: GSR (1) are produced indistinctly (revolvers, pistols, and shotguns, among other firearms, produce the same GSR.) and (2) are not produced when metal-free (ecological) ammunition is fired. To overcome the issue of absent metallic traces and to provide proper ammunition traceability, we suggest using luminescent chemical markers based on rare earth ions. These markers can be synthesized with different elements, to produce distinct colors depending on the firearm caliber. In addition, these markers present good visual detectability under forensic flashlights, and they can be detected and quantified by sensitive, low-cost instrumental techniques, such as voltammetry. In this context, we aimed to develop a composite containing Eu and Zr and to incorporate it in conventional and ecological ammunition propellants to test whether voltammetric detection of GSR traces collected after the shots is feasible. Conventional and ecological .380-caliber pistol ammunition was used. Both types of ammunition were previously disassembled with a commercial inertia hammer. Aliquots of the composite containing Eu and Zr were mixed at 10% ratio (w/w) with the propellants of these types of ammunition. Later, ammunition was reassembled with a mechanical press from Lee, model Lock Pro. The firing step was carried out in a professional shooting range; a .380 caliber pistol from Taurus, model PT 638 PRO, was used. Shots were fired on boards of pressed wood placed 1.0 m away from the end of the gun barrel. After the shooting stage, a Spectroline UV flashlight, model ENF-280C, was used to detect the luminescent chemical marker in the ammunition capsules and shot residues deposited on the hands, target, and weapon. GSR for SEM-EDS analysis were collected with aluminum stubs equipped with conductive adhesive tape. GSR aliquots for GC-MS analysis were collected by using swabs soaked with chromatographic grade ethanol solution and placed in 2.0-mL Eppendorf tubes. GSR aliquots for voltammetric analysis were collected by using carbon paste electrodes, with their surface being lightly pressed on the sample collection region. GSR detection by UV flashlight showed that the luminescent chemical marker was present on the target, hands, and weapon and in the deflagrated ammunition cases, as evidenced by red dots spread over the samples. This indicated that the method was practical, and that the luminescent chemical marker was effective for the intended purpose. Analysis of GSR from conventional and ecological cartridges by GC-MS showed that they had distinct chemical profile, but the chemical components present in the luminescent chemical marker could not be detected. MEV-EDS analysis allowed particles containing the luminescent chemical marker to be detected in the cases of GSR from conventional and ecological munitions. The characteristic peaks of Zr and Eu were observed during EDS analysis, indicating that this technique can also be used to detect these markers. The voltammetric results indicated that the luminescent chemical marker can be detected through Zr detection at an anodic peak potential of 0.45 V vs. Ag/AgCl, consistent with the expected signal for this element. Additional substances present in these residues did not interfere in voltammetric Zr detection, making the new methodology a fast and viable alternative for forensic analysis. Figure 1

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the One-Roof Junior Secondary School as an alternative to the distribution of nine-year basic education in remote areas in the cultural setting of Central Kalimantan Betang Houses. This research is a qualitative research with a multi-site study design on 3 One-Roof Junior Secondary Schools in Gunung Mas Regency. Data collection is done by methods: in-depth interviews (indepth interview), participant observation (participant observation), and study documentation (study of document). Determination of data sources is done by using purposive sampling technique. Data analysis is done through the activities of organizing data, organizing and dividing data into units that can be managed, mensiteis, looking for patterns, find what is meaningful and what is researched to be decided and reported systematically (Bogdan and Biklen, 1998). Data analysis in this research was carried out in two stages, namely: data analysis for each site (single site) and cross-site data analysis. Checking the validity of the data is done by using a degree of credibility through both source and method triangulation techniques. The results of the study found that the values of the betang house culture that underlies the implementation of the One-Roof Junior Secondary School appeared on: (1) bureaucratic structure, including: SOP, coordination and empowerment of HR; (2) resources, including: human resources, infrastructure and financing; and (3) communication, including: internal communication, with supporting elementary schools, with related agencies, and the community around the school.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Institutional archives in Southwest Asia (or the “Middle East”) typically reflect the crises that have plagued the region since the advent of modernity. Documentation practices were scarce to begin with, and, if state-sponsored archives were ever established after independence, they usually remained inaccessible. This article ponders the fate of scholarship when the historical record is subjected to another degree of erasure, namely through the systematic destruction wrought by conflicts, as has been the case in Iraq over the past few decades. Using the challenge of accounting for the art-architectural movement that emerged in post–World War II Baghdad as a case study, this obliteration may provide an opportunity for redefining the role that scholars can play in writing histories of modernism in the region. Rather than dwelling on the incompleteness or loss of traditional archives, this article questions and decenters dominant archival practices, especially in places that have experienced, and continue to endure, organized violence. It adopts the notion of the “counter-archive” and demonstrates how alternative sources such as oral accounts, fieldwork, press coverage, memoirs, and private collections can shift the course of research and yield equally valuable alternative histories. Careful interpretation of these nonconventional and typically discredited sources, aided by novel digital representation methods, can not only produce more situated chronicles, defined by the agency of local protagonists, but can also demonstrate that crossing disciplinary boundaries can create richer, layered, and unexpected narratives.

Full textAbstract:
The interview was mainly conducted at Tallinn University in January 2019, when Stacy Alaimo visited the Graduate Winter School “The Humanities and Posthumanities: New Ways of Being Human” and gave a plenary lecture titled “Onto-epistemologies for the Anthropocene, or Who will be the Subject of the Posthumanities?”, and completed in spring 2020, to address immediately unfolding issues.
Alaimo is an internationally recognized scholar of American literature, ecocultural theory, environmental humanities, science studies, gender theory, and new materialism. She is the author of three monographs on environmental theory and ecocultural studies: Undomesticated Ground: Recasting Nature as Feminist Space (Cornell University Press, 2000); Bodily Natures: Science, Environment, and the Material Self (Indiana University Press, 2010); and Exposed: Environmental Politics and Pleasures in Posthuman Times (University of Minnesota Press, 2016). Alaimo has edited and co-edited essay collections, including Science Studies and the Blue Humanities (essay cluster for SLSA journal, Configurations. Fall 2019); Matter (MacMillan Interdisciplinary Handbooks, 2017); Material Feminisms (with Susan Hekman, Indiana University Press, 2008), and is the author of a significant number of essays and book chapters. She co-edits a book series, “Elements,” at Duke University Press. Her current work focuses on oceans and marine life: she is currently finishing a book tentatively titled, Composing Blue Ecologies: Science, Aesthetics, and the Creatures of the Abyss. Alaimo served as co-President of ASLE (The Association for the Study of Literature and Environment), and created and directed the cross-disciplinary minor in Environmental and Sustainability Studies at the University of Texas and Arlington. She joined the faculty of the University of Oregon in 2019, where she is Professor of English and core faculty member in environmental studies.
The interview addresses the evolution of her views as represented in Undomesticated Ground (2000), as well as the connections and tensions of feminism and environmentalism; it moves on to Bodily Natures (2010), in which she develops her seminal concept of transcorporeality; and looks into her ongoing interest in the deep sea and its representation in culture, the focus of her current book project, Composing Blue Ecologies.
The interview discusses the importance of transcorporeality in the Anthropocene, as an alternative to “self-aggrandizing” accounts “in which some transhistorical ‘Man’ acts upon the inert, external matter of the world.” Examples from both science and culture illustrate the concepts discussed, reaching out into important political concerns of the day, such as climate refugees, sustainability as a labour and power issue, divisive dichotomies and understanding difference. The theme of water as an example of transcorporeality and a burning ecological issue is taken up, touching upon the current vulnerability of the Baltic Sea and elaborating on the material and ideas developed in the new book that Stacy Alaimo is working on. The final part of the interview addresses the environmental implications of the COVID-19 crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract:Based on research into the confiscated photographic and document archives in the hands of the top antiquities dealers (Robin Symes-Christos Michaelides, Robert Hecht, Giacomo Medici, and Gianfranco Becchina), so far more than 250 looted and smuggled masterpieces have been repatriated from the most reputable North American museums, private collections, and galleries, mainly to the Italian and the Greek states. Most of these repatriations were advertised in the press as voluntary action by the institutions and the individuals who possessed them. However, this is far from true; the repatriations were the results of lengthy negotiations, where the presentation of evidence alternated with diplomatic tactics and legal threats in order for the two parties (in some cases, three) to reach an agreement. Among the much-celebrated repatriated antiquities are at least two cases that require further research regarding their legal owner. This article aims to analyze these two cases and to set out new questions. In the end, there is doubt that the state who finally received these antiquities is necessarily the one from which they have been looted and smuggled. Based on this analysis, the article aims to highlight alternative paths to the discovery of the truth, paths that might have been more effective, if they had been followed.

Full textAbstract:
Significant language development differences occur in preschoolers, resolving these differences is a key objective of preschool education because young children's language abilities at the start of school, particularly their vocabulary abilities, are a strong predictor of later academic ability. Storytelling is one of the methods used to teach English, it makes the learning environment more interesting, energetic, and conversational. This study aims to examine storytelling in increasing children's vocabulary. The research method is a case study that uses observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection tools. The participants are an English teacher and seven children aged 4-5 years. Although, many early childhoods English teachers state that one of the weaknesses of children in learning English is a lack of vocabulary mastery because it can hamper the learning process. The findings show that storytelling is effective in increasing children's vocabulary. Vocabulary is the foundation for improving children's ability to speak English, both orally and in writing. Second language vocabulary is important to learn and develop for the quality of early childhood learners in language education.

"The Force-Velocity Relationship in Older People: Reliability and Validity of a Systematic Procedure."

AbstractThis study compared the reliability and validity of different protocols evaluating the force-velocity (F-V) relationship and muscle power in older adults. Thirty-one older men and women (75.8±4.7 years) underwent two F-V tests by collecting the mean and peak force and velocity data exerted against increasing loads until one repetition maximum (1RM) was achieved in the leg press exercise. Two attempts per load were performed, with a third attempt when F-V points deviated from the linear F-V regression equation. Then, the subjects performed 2×3 repetitions at 60% 1RM to compare purely concentric and eccentric-concentric repetitions. The Short Physical Performance Battery was conducted to assess the validity of the different protocols. Significant differences were found in maximal power (Pmax) between mean and peak values and between protocols differing in the number of attempts per load (p<0.01). Registering mean values, a third attempt, and multiple loads (>3), was significantly more reliable (Pmax: CV=2.6%; ICC=0.99) than the other alternatives. Mean values were also observed to be more associated with physical function than peak values (R2=0.34 and 0.15, respectively; p<0.05). No significant differences were observed between concentric and eccentric-concentric repetitions. Thus, collecting mean force and velocity values against multiple loads, while monitoring the linearity of the F-V relationship, seemed to be the more adequate procedure to assess the F-V profile and muscle power in older adults.

On 13th December 1981, in a televised speech, General Wojciech Jaruzelski announced the imposition of the martial law after having previously received permission for its imposition from the Council of State on 12th December 1981. The authorities of the People's Republic of Poland, headed by General Wojciech Jaruzelski, drastically curtailed the daily lives of millions of Poles over the next two years on the basis of the martial law decree, in an attempt to oppose the political opposition, of which Solidarity was the epitome. The adoption of such a drastic measure against the political opposition in the literature repeatedly raises the debate whether there were no other options to enforce political peace in Poland. Many authors point out the draft law on extraordinary measures of action in the interest of the protection of citizens and the state as an alternative to the martial law decree, as the draft law in its provisions was a much more liberal and extreme piece of legislation. The contemporary text is intended to present the draft of the Emergency Powers of Government Act (the alternative name of the bill). The work is largely based on the material obtained from an archival search of files from the Institute of National Remembrance and from the files from the Archives of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister, which were transferred to the Archives of New Records in Warsaw in the course of collecting material. The research material was also obtained from Solidarity and Tribune of the People press articles, from numerous scientific publications, from transcripts and Sejm prints which are in the digital resource of the Sejm Library.

Os inimigos naturais são os principais responsáveis pela mortalidade de insetos-praga na maioria dos agroecossistemas, e encontram-se distribuídos principalmente nas ordens Coleoptera, Neuroptera e Hemiptera. Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) é um predador polífago presente principalmente na cultura do fumo (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Com este trabalho objetivou-se observar o comportamento predatório de C. nigroannulatus sobre plantas de feijão guandu. As observações e coletas dos insetos foram feitas semanalmente, entre julho e setembro de 2005, na área experimental de Entomologia do Centro de Ciências Agrárias, Biológicas e Ambientais da Universidade Federal da Bahia UFBA/UFRB. Do total de plantas observadas, 37% continham a presença do predador, com um baixo índice de predação, 7,05%, talvez influenciada pela pequena quantidade de presas presentes nas plantas. Mais pesquisas são necessárias para melhor avaliar o potencial deste predador nos agroecossistemas. Futuramente poderá ser uma alternativa potencial de controle biológico de pragas.
Records of the predatory behavior of Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera, Reduviidae) in pingeonpea crop
Abstract. The natural enemies are main the responsible ones for the mortality of pests in the majority of agroecosystems, and meet mainly distributed in the orders Coleoptera, Neuroptera and Hemiptera. Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus (Stål, 1860) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) is a present predator polyphagous mainly in the crop of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The objective of this research it was to evaluate the predatory behavior of C. nigroannulatus on pingeonpea crop. The comments and collections of the insects had been made weekly, between July and September of 2005, in plants pingeonpea in the experimental area of Entomology of the Center of Agrarian, Biological and Ambient Sciences of the Universidade Federal da Bahia UFBA/UFRB. Of the allof observed plants, only 37% of them contained the presence of the predator, the prerestitution index were low, only 7.05%, influenced for the small amount of preys found in the plants. More research is necessary better to evaluate the potential of this predator in agroecosystems. In the future it could be a potential alternative of biological control of pests.

Full textAbstract:
Photogram is a technique that produces images without using a camera as an image recording aid. However, it makes more use of sunlight and chemicals as recording materials. The photos from this photogram are in the form of a silhouette or an outline of the object being recorded. Considering the dangers of chemicals for children, using natural dyes is friendlier to them. Therefore, the process of conveying messages through photographs by children can run well. This study aims to analyze the 4P elements (Personal, Process, Press, Product) of photogram's work as an enhancer of creativity in children's communication. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach which will elaborate the data by describing them into sentences. The technique of collecting data is in the form of observing photogram works, documenting the work and looking for references through literature study. The photographic works produced by the children will be studied in terms of creativity by describing the 4P elements. Apart from that through the photographic works produced by these children, it can be concluded that creativity arises because of one's own interaction with the environment which is then processed and supported by the people around them and the environment so that it becomes creative photogram work. It is also intended that photogram can become an alternative media in honing children's creativity in communicating with their environment.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a study focused on the creation, evaluation of anaerobic fermented algae Furcellaria lumbricalis pressed biomass tablets as a dual-purpose fertilizer and substrate for sustainable seedling growth. The research aims to address the need for more sustainable agricultural practices by exploring alternative solutions to chemical fertilizers. The methodology involved collecting and preparing Furcellaria Lumbricalis algae from the Baltic Sea coast, followed by anaerobic fermentation in a small-scale bioreactor. The resulting digestate was formed into tablets using a designed press and template. A growth experiment was conducted using basil seeds, comparing the performance of seedlings grown with the algae tablets to those grown with traditional substrate. The results showed that the seedlings grown using the anaerobic fermented algae tablets exhibited comparable growth rates and biomass to those grown with conventional methods. Effectiveness of the tablets can be attributed to the breakdown of organic matter during the fermentation process, which makes nutrients more accessible to plants and improves their uptake. However, further research is necessary to optimize the concentrations and formulations of the anaerobic fermented algae tablets. The effectiveness of these tablets should be evaluated in different plant species and growing conditions. In conclusion, this study provides promising evidence that anaerobic fermented algae Furcellaria Lumbricalis tablets could serve as an effective and sustainable solution for fertilizer and substrate needs in seedling growth.

Full textAbstract:
Methods for extracting growing substrate root-zone solution include the saturated media extract (SME) and the 2 water: 1 substrate (v/v) suspension, neither of which are particularly suited to bedding plant plug systems. We have developed the press extraction method (PEM) as a simple and quick alternative to these methods. The grower simply collects a representative sample of plug trays and presses the top of the plug, collecting the expelled solution. Solution pH and EC can be measured immediately and the sample then sent to an analytical laboratory for nutrient analysis. Initial experiments demonstrated that differing manual pressures did not affect solution chemical properties. The PEM then was compared to the SME and 2:1 methods over a range of fertilizer levels and with peat- and coir-based substrates. Within substrates, pH, EC, and macronutrients were similar between the PEM and the SME. The level of dilution inherent in the 2:1 method resulted in much lower EC and nutrient levels when compared to the other two methods. Further experiments compared the PEM to the SME and 2:1 on plug flats collected from several commercial greenhouses and also those grown in the research greenhouse. The wide range of bedding plant species and fertility levels tested introduced variation needed to develop regression equations and correlations to create quantitative interpretation ranges for the PEM based on previously published sufficiency ranges for the SME and 2:1.
