Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has transformed teaching and learning practices, particularly in diverse classrooms where students have varying learning needs, backgrounds, and abilities. Traditional instructional methods often fail to address these differences effectively, highlighting the need for adaptive and technology-driven educational approaches. ICT provides opportunities for personalized learning, real-time feedback, and interactive engagement, fostering improved student outcomes across multiple disciplines. This study aims to assess the impact of ICT integration on student performance, engagement, and overall learning effectiveness in diverse classroom settings. A mixed-methods research approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of student achievement data with qualitative insights from teacher observations and student feedback. Findings indicate that ICT-enhanced learning environments lead to increased student participation, better knowledge retention, and improved problem-solving skills. Statistical analysis revealed a strong correlation between ICT adoption and higher academic performance, particularly in STEM subjects. The study concludes that ICT integration is a crucial factor in modern education, promoting equity, accessibility, and personalized learning experiences. Future research should explore long-term impacts of ICT-driven instruction and strategies for optimizing technology use in different educational contexts.

Abstract

Protected areas are critical for the conservation of tropical forests, which are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. These areas play a vital role in safeguarding wildlife, preserving ecological processes, and mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, the effectiveness of protected areas in achieving these conservation goals varies significantly. This review aims to assess the role of protected areas in conserving tropical forests by analyzing their effectiveness, management practices, and socio-economic impacts. The study seeks to identify best practices and challenges faced in the management of these areas. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, synthesizing findings from peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and case studies related to protected areas in tropical forest regions worldwide. Key metrics such as biodiversity outcomes, habitat preservation, and community engagement were evaluated. The findings indicate that well-managed protected areas significantly contribute to biodiversity conservation and forest preservation. However, challenges such as illegal logging, encroachment, and insufficient funding hinder their effectiveness. Successful case studies highlight the importance of community involvement and adaptive management strategies in enhancing conservation outcomes. The study concludes that protected areas are essential for conserving tropical forests, but their effectiveness is contingent upon effective management and stakeholder engagement. Strengthening governance frameworks and increasing funding for these areas are crucial for ensuring their long-term success in biodiversity conservation.

Abstract

The increasing environmental concerns associated with plastic waste have prompted significant interest in biodegradable polymers. Organic chemistry plays a crucial role in developing these materials, facilitating the design of polymers that can efficiently degrade in natural environments. This study aims to explore the contributions of organic chemistry to the synthesis and characterization of biodegradable polymers. The focus is on understanding how chemical principles can be applied to create materials with improved degradation rates and functional properties. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analyzing various biodegradable polymers synthesized through organic chemistry techniques. Experimental work involved synthesizing selected polymers, including polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and evaluating their physical and chemical properties through characterization methods such as spectroscopy and thermal analysis. Findings indicate that organic chemistry enables the tailored design of biodegradable polymers with enhanced properties. The synthesized PLA and PHA exhibited favorable degradation profiles and mechanical strengths, demonstrating their applicability in various fields, including packaging and biomedical applications. This research highlights the essential role of organic chemistry in advancing the development of biodegradable polymers.

Abstract

The increasing global demand for timber and forest products has raised concerns about unsustainable forest practices, resulting in deforestation, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem degradation. Certification programs, such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), have emerged as tools to promote sustainable forest management (SFM). These certifications aim to ensure that forests are managed in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable manner. However, the effectiveness of certification in achieving these goals remains a topic of ongoing debate. This research aims to evaluate the role of forest certification programs in promoting sustainable forest management. Specifically, it investigates the impact of certification on forest practices, local communities, and the broader forest industry. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining qualitative interviews with forest managers, certification bodies, and local stakeholders, alongside quantitative analysis of forest management data in certified versus non-certified forests. Data were collected from various regions, including Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe. The findings reveal that certification programs positively influence forest management practices, leading to improved biodiversity conservation, better forest regeneration, and increased stakeholder engagement. However, challenges such as high certification costs, lack of awareness, and insufficient enforcement were identified as barriers to achieving full potential. Certification programs play a significant role in promoting sustainable forest management, though further efforts are needed to address barriers and enhance the inclusivity and effectiveness of these programs.

Abstract

Accurate quantification of forest carbon stocks is critical for global climate change mitigation initiatives like REDD+. Traditional forest inventory methods are often labor-intensive, costly, and limited in scale, particularly in complex tropical ecosystems such as the Sumatran rainforest. The integration of advanced remote sensing technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) offers a transformative potential for overcoming these limitations. This study aimed to develop and validate a high-resolution model for individual tree detection and above-ground biomass (AGB) estimation in a Sumatran rainforest by synergizing airborne LiDAR data with machine learning algorithms. High-density LiDAR data was acquired over a 10,000-hectare study area. Concurrently, extensive field inventory data from 150 plots were collected to serve as ground truth. A deep learning model, specifically a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), was trained to perform individual tree crown delineation (ITCD) from the LiDAR-derived canopy height model. Tree-level metrics were then used as predictors in a Random Forest algorithm to estimate AGB, which was calibrated against field-measured biomass. The CNN model successfully identified individual trees with an accuracy of 92.4%. The subsequent Random Forest model demonstrated high predictive power for AGB estimation, yielding a strong coefficient of determination ( = 0.89) and a low Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 25.8 Mg/ha. The approach generated a high-resolution (1-meter) AGB map, revealing detailed spatial variations in carbon stock across the landscape. The fusion of AI and LiDAR data provides a highly efficient methodology for forest inventory and AGB mapping in dense tropical rainforests. This approach significantly enhances our capacity to monitor carbon dynamics, forest conservation and climate policy.
