Land markets, Property rights, and Deforestation: Insights from Indonesia
Get PDFWe examine the emergence of land markets and their effects on forest land appropriation by farm households in Jambi Province, Sumatra, using micro-level data covering land use and land transactions for a period of more than 20 years (1992 2015). Based on a theoretical model of land acquisition by a heterogeneous farming population, different hypotheses are developed and empirically tested. Farm households involved in forest land appropriation differ from those involved in land market purchases in terms of migration status and other socioeconomic characteristics. In principle, these differences provide opportunities for market-induced deforestation. However, the appropriated forest land is not extensively traded, which we attribute to the lack of de jure property right protection and the resulting undervaluation in the market. While the de facto property right protection under customary law provides sufficient security within the village community, the sense of external tenure security is low when the land cannot be formally titled. Clearing forests for trading in the land market is, therefore, financially less lucrative for farm households than engaging in own cultivation of plantation crops, such as oil palm and rubber. We conclude that land markets did not have significant effects on deforestation. On the other hand, the emergence of land markets alone has also not been able to deter forest appropriation by local farm households.

A Study on the Impact of Temperature on the Efficiency of Li-Ion Battery With-Or-Without Phase Change Material Coating
No full text<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> PCMs <i>(Phase-Change Material)</i> are the type of materials that tends to change its materialistic property when subjected to temperature change. They change into liquid form while absorbing heat at melting point and will regain its solid form under solidification temperature. i.e., Paraffin wax is a form of PCM and it changes to liquid form at 46 ºC and will turn into solid when kept for some time at room temperature <i>(Paraffin wax have a melting point in the range of 46ºC - 68ºC)</i>. These materials releases or absorbs energy during phase transition. These materials have a wide range of application in space technology. PCM's are used in heat sinks as it helps in the efficiency of thermal control systems.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Phase change material, Phase transition, Latent heat thermal energy, PCM.</p><p><strong>Title:</strong> A Study on the Impact of Temperature on the Efficiency of Li-Ion Battery With-Or-Without Phase Change Material Coating</p><p><strong>Author:</strong> Vijesh V Joshi, Devasoorya S D</p><p><strong>International Journal of Engineering Research and Reviews</strong></p><p><strong>ISSN 2348-697X (Online)</strong></p><p><strong>Vol. 11, Issue 4, October 2023 - December 2023</strong></p><p><strong>Page No: 23-25</strong></p><p><strong>Research Publish Journals</strong></p><p><strong>Website: www.researchpublish.com</strong></p><p><strong>Published Date: 07-November-2023</strong></p><p><strong>DOI: </strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10078547"><strong>https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10078547</strong></a></p><p><strong>Paper Download Link (Source)</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/a-study-on-the-impact-of-temperature-on-the-efficiency-of-li-ion-battery-with-or-without-phase-change-material-coating"><strong>https://www.researchpublish.com/papers/a-study-on-the-impact-of-temperature-on-the-efficiency-of-li-ion-battery-with-or-without-phase-change-material-coating</strong></a></p>
Design and Implementation of Open Journal System (OJS) for Rajagiri Journals: A Review
Get PDFOpen Access (OA) is an alternative business model for the publication of scholarly journals. It makes articles freely available to readers on the Internet and covers the costs associated with publication through means other than subscriptions. Online Journal System (OJS) is an end to end publishing management platform offered by Public Knowledge Project (PKU) which will help Journal publishers and content developers to manage its journal website along with managing pre-publishing editorial activities including manuscript management, peer review process & publishing process. The OJS platform will cover all aspects of online journal publishing, from establishing a journal website to operational tasks such as the author\u27s submission process, peer review, editing, publication, archiving, and indexing of the journal. It also helps to manage the people facets of organizing a journal, including keeping track of the articles, the work done by the editors, reviewers, and authors, notifying readers, and assisting with the communication. In this paper, we try to discuss the practical challenges and way to overcome it which we implemented Rajagiri Journals through OJS platfor

Phosphoproteomic Profiling Reveals ALK and MET as Novel Actionable Targets across Synovial Sarcoma Subtypes
Get PDFDespite intensive multimodal treatment of sarcomas, a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors arising from connective tissue, survival remains poor. Candidate-based targeted treatments have demonstrated limited clinical success, urging an unbiased and comprehensive analysis of oncogenic signaling networks to reveal therapeutic targets and personalized treatment strategies. Here we applied mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomic profiling to the largest and most heterogeneous set of sarcoma cell lines characterized to date and identified novel tyrosine phosphorylation patterns, enhanced tyrosine kinases in specific subtypes, and potential driver kinases. ALK was identified as a novel driver in the Aska-SS synovial sarcoma (SS) cell line via expression of an ALK variant with a large extracellular domain deletion (ALKDelta2-17). Functional ALK dependency was confirmed in vitro and in vivo with selective inhibitors. Importantly, ALK immunopositivity was detected in 6 of 43 (14%) of SS patient specimens, one of which exhibited an ALK rearrangement. High PDGFRalpha phosphorylation also characterized SS cell lines, which was accompanied by enhanced MET activation in Yamato-SS cells. Although Yamato-SS cells were sensitive to crizotinib (ALK/MET-inhibitor) but not pazopanib (VEGFR/PDGFR-inhibitor) monotherapy in vitro, synergistic effects were observed upon drug combination. In vivo, both drugs were individually effective, with pazopanib efficacy likely attributable to reduced angiogenesis. MET or PDGFRalpha expression was detected in 58% and 84% of SS patients, respectively, with coexpression in 56%. Consequently, our integrated approach has led to the identification of ALK and MET as promising therapeutic targets in SS. Cancer Res; 77(16); 4279-92. (c)2017 AACR
