Abstract

Asia is marked by high biodiversity. At the same time, it suffers from serious multi-factor threats to such biodiversity. Forest ecosystems and their species are threatened due to large-scale land conversion to plantations of agriculture. Land conversion to grasslands due to livestock activities leads to habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. In addition, global warming is linked to the expansion of pest infestations, resulting in increased application of pesticides that negatively impacts biodiversity. Climate change also facilitates the dissemination of vector-borne disease, further endangering wildlife and human health. Besides, climate change has accelerated biodiversity loss in Asia through alteration of ecosystems, coral bleaching, and melting of Himalayan glaciers threatening freshwater ecosystems. Increased temperature and extreme weather conditions pose a great threat to species survival. Although the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) do emphasize the need for biodiversity conservation, this has been outlined in Goal 15, Life on Land, and Goal 14, Life Below Water. In tackling these goals, Asia has a Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020 and Global Biodiversity Framework; in core protection ecosystems ensure sustainable development. Much more could be done in reversing, if not definitely halting, this ongoing loss in this region. In conclusion, agriculture, livestock, and climate change pose immense challenges to the biodiversity of Asia, which acts as a barrier to achieving sustainable development goals. Such challenges require enhanced conservation efforts and the adoption of sustainable practices in different sectors.

Abstract

The mass of Trichogramma wasp larvae, recognized as a vital agent for pest biocontrol in Iran, is produced primarily in the form of Trichocards. These bacteria are utilized for the biocontrol of key and significant pests, such as rice stem borers, corn stem borers, apple worms, and pomegranate fruit worms. However, the application of this formulation presents several drawbacks, including the difficulty of installing cards across fields and orchards, the destruction of larvae by predatory insects, and the sensitivity of larvae to dryness and high temperatures, which can impair the effectiveness of the method. Alternative formulations such as capsules, balls, and liquids have been introduced in various countries to address these application issues. These alternatives offer advantages such as increased durability of larvae under adverse conditions, increased lifespan and efficiency of wasps, reduced production costs, faster operational speed, and greater willingness among farmers and orchardists to adopt biological methods. Given that the method of supplying Trichogramma larvae has remained unchanged in its production stages over the past 30 years in Iran, a continuous dynamic growth trend in the application of Trichogramma wasps will undoubtedly require a reassessment of various supply stages and an improvement in the production process.

Abstract

Silica was obtained from rice husk throught an extraction process and applied to remove Rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous media by adsorption. The better characteristics of the silica were demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption isotherms and scanning electron microscopy. Silica was used as adsorbent to remove RhB dye in aqueous media. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms were evaluated. Silica presented higher values of surface area, pore volume, pore diameter and porosity. Pseudo-second order was adequate to represent the kinetic profile. The adsorption isotherm follows the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Rice husk silica attained adsorption capacity of 1.06 mg g-1 coupled with removal percentage of 84%, being an excelent adsorbent for RhB dye.

Abstract

This research seeks to answer these questions, what are the attitudes of rice farmers in the field of organic farming and what factors influence their attitudes. The statistical population consisted of 500 rice farmers from three mainly rice-growing villages of Langrod county, Gilan province, and the sample size was 211. To select this sample size, simple random sampling was used. The data was collected through a questionnaire. Its face validity was based on a survey of expert opinions. To determine the reliability of the measurement tool, face-to-face interviews were conducted with a sample of 30 people outside of the main sample, and the calculated Cronbach's alpha coefficients confirmed the research tool. Descriptive statistics, correlation tests, and factor analysis were used in SPSS 22 software to analyze the data. Deviation distance from the mean method was used to group the attitudes of rice farmers. The results showed that 18% of the respondents have a negative attitude towards organic agriculture, about 70% have a somewhat positive attitude, and about 12% have a completely positive attitude, and the attitude of the surveyed farmers is influenced by the factors of caring for nature and preserving the soil fertility, the quality and quantity of agricultural products, the value and importance of rural landscapes, traditionalism, the desire to preserve past customs and traditions, and the impact of personal experiences which account for 19.60, 11.44, 9.25, 9.06 and 8.98 percent of the explained variance, respectively.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan implementasi media papan dalam pembelajaran bilangan Romawi pada siswa kelas 3 SD IT Al Ikhlas, serta untuk mengetahui respons siswa dan kendala yang dihadapi selama proses pembelajaran. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari siswa kelas 3 dan guru kelas 3 SD IT Al Ikhlas. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan model Miles dan Huberman yang mencakup tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, serta penarikan kesimpulan atau verifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi media papan dalam pembelajaran bilangan Romawi dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan utama, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, dan evaluasi. Media papan yang digunakan berupa papan tulis interaktif yang telah dimodifikasi dengan elemen-elemen bilangan Romawi yang dapat dipindahkan, sehingga lebih menarik dan mudah digunakan. Respons siswa terhadap penggunaan media ini sangat positif; Namun, terdapat beberapa kendala seperti keterbatasan waktu pembelajaran dan kebutuhan akan bimbingan individual bagi siswa tertentu. Secara keseluruhan, media papan terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman konsep dan minat belajar siswa terhadap bilangan Romawi.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan penggunaan media visual yang berbasis Papan Diagram Gambar (PADIGA) dalam proses belajar matematika serta pengaruhnya terhadap pemahaman konsep siswa kelas II SD. Latar belakang dari studi ini adalah minimnya penguasaan siswa terhadap konsep matematika yang bersifat abstrak, sehingga diperlukan media yang konkret dan visual yang sesuai dengan tahap perkembangan kognitif anak-anak di sekolah dasar. Metode yang diterapkan adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Subjek penelitian terdiri dari siswa kelas II dan guru di SDIT Adz-Dzikro Walisongo di Lampung Utara. Hasil dari penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan PADIGA dapat membantu meningkatkan pengertian siswa tentang konsep matematika, terutama pada materi penyajian dan pemrosesan data sederhana. Siswa tampak lebih terlibat, bersemangat, dan lebih mudah memahami materi yang diajarkan. Beberapa faktor yang mendukung keberhasilan penggunaan media ini meliputi dukungan dari kepala sekolah, pelatihan untuk guru, serta kreativitas guru dalam membuat media visual. Meskipun demikian, terdapat juga beberapa kendala seperti keterbatasan fasilitas, waktu untuk menyiapkan media, dan jumlah media visual yang masih tergolong sedikit. Secara keseluruhan, media PADIGA dinilai efektif dan pantas digunakan sebagai alat bantu pengajaran untuk meningkatkan mutu pembelajaran matematika di kelas rendah.
