Vannamei Shrimp Cultivation Including Distribution, Feed Quality and Feeding Method

One of the commodities that help improve the economy of farmers in the country, especially in East China, namely the commodity shrimp. Shrimp is a source of high-quality animal protein. And for the state, shrimp is the prima donna of non-oil and gas exports. Shrimp is a type of brackish water consumption fish. The 13-segmented bodies are 5 head and 8 thoracic segments and the entire body is covered by an outer frame called an exoskeleton. Generally, Vannamei shrimp is available in the market, consisting mostly of sea shrimp. Only a small part consists of freshwater shrimp, especially in areas around large rivers and swamps near the coast. Freshwater shrimp are generally included in the Palaemonidae family so that experts call them the palaemonid shrimp group
Synthesis of monolayer graphene on polycrystalline Ni and Ni-Cu bimetallic catalyst and study toward reuse of catalyst

Le graphene est une couche de carbone d’une epaisseur atomique pour laquelle les atomes de carbone sont hybrides sp². Il possede diverses proprietes remarquables superieures a celles des autres materiaux connus. Le depot chimique en phase vapeur (CVD) est une methode prometteuse pour produire du graphene monocouche. Dans cette etude, du graphene monocouche a pu etre synthetise directement sur une feuille de Ni polycristallin par CVD sous pression atmospherique a l'aide d'un refroidissement rapide. Par ailleurs, nous proposons une technique simple pour preparer du graphene monocouche homogene dont la croissance est realisee simultanement sur deux feuilles de Cu et de Ni assembles en bicouche metallique. L’application du refroidissement rapide induit la formation de Ni3C, qui permet de reutiliser la feuille de Ni jusqu'a 6 fois sans causer d’ecart significatif de la qualite et l'uniformite du graphene produit. Ce travail a donc demontre avec succes que le cout moyen pour synthetiser une monocouche de graphene de haute qualite pouvait etre reduit avec des procedes simples a mettre en œuvre
First fossil fruits of Elaeocarpus (Elaeocarpaceae) in East Asia: Implications for phytogeography and paleoecology

The genus Elaeocarpus contains approximately 360 species and occurs in mesic forest communities from India, through to China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Australia, and New Caledonia. Elaeocarpus fossils are best known from the Eocene to the Miocene of Australia and the late Pliocene–early Pleistocene of India, but have not been documented from East Asia before. Here we describe six new species of Elaeocarpus, E. nanningensis sp. nov. from the late Oligocene Yongning Formation of the Nanning Basin, E. presikkimensis sp. nov. from the Miocene Erzitang Formation of the Guiping Basin, E. prerugosus sp. nov., E. prelacunosus sp. nov., E. preserratus sp. nov., and E. preprunifolioides sp. nov. from the late Miocene Foluo Formation of the Nankang Basin in Guangxi, South China. This is the first reliable report for the genus occurring in East Asia, and the fossils indicate that Elaeocarpus had colonized this region by the late Oligocene and represented by a morphologically diverse group of species by the late Miocene. This sheds new insights into the timing and migration patterns of the genus in East Asia. Elaeocarpus is typically a rainforest genus occurring in mesic forests. Based on the habitat of their morphologically similar modern relatives we propose that these three sedimentary basins were warm and wet adjacent to mountainous regions with the evergreen or rain forests during the late Oligocene to Miocene.
Optimized Ultrasonic-Assisted Extraction of Aflatoxin B1 in Peanuts with Response Surface Methodology

ABSTRACT Response surface methodology was used to optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction conditions for aflatoxin B1 in peanuts. Box–Behnken center composite optimization was performed with factors including the ratio of sample to extractant, sonication time, and sonication temperature. Response surface methodology was used with three factors and three levels to determine the prime factors on the extraction of aflatoxin B1. High-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector was used for the determination of aflatoxin B1. The optimum conditions were 1 g peanuts to 86 mL extractant, a sonication time of 7 min, and a temperature of 73°C. The mean recoveries in fortified peanuts were between 87.6 and 93.5% with an interday and intraday relative standard deviations below 10.6 and 9.8%, respectively. The developed method was accurate and precise for the determination of aflatoxin B1.
Pricing to market: property valuation methods – a practical review

PurposeValuation is the process of determining Market Value. Property valuation, as with the valuation of all assets, is an estimation of price in the market. It is value in exchange. The valuer role is to determine the appropriate approach, the method and use the right model to achieve this aim as best as possible. It is a combination of analysing the market and determining the critical variables for the valuation method/model. The method is separate from the valuation process which should be followed (according to the International Valuation Standards Council Valuation Standards) regardless the valuation method chosen. There are valuation approaches, valuation methods and, as a subset of the methods, techniques or models.Design/methodology/approachThis practice briefing is an overview of the Valuation Methods and Models available to the valuer and comments on the appropriateness of valuation each in assessing Market Value for specific property types.FindingsThis briefing is a review of the valuation methods and models and models that can be applied to determine market value.Practical implicationsThe role of the valuer in practice is to identify the method of valuation and then apply the correct mathematical model for the valuation task in hand.Originality/valueThis provides guidance on how valuations can be presented to the client in accordance with the International Valuation Standards.
Communication Strategies Used in Teaching Media Information Literacy for Combating Hoaxes in Indonesia: A Case Study of Indonesian National Movements

This study examined communication strategies used by Indonesian national movements to teach media information literacy as an endeavour to fight hoaxes. The in-depth online interview and content analysis had been employed to investigate approaches of the movement to campaign media information literacy competence to society. The findings reveal that the offline communication has been massively applied by the movement to establish direct engagement to give a comprehensive understanding. Moreover, in the case of online communication, the content of Instagram shows that the movements predominantly use Instagram for marketing tools which post much information related to offline activities, instead of educated contents that contain media information literacy understanding. This study suggests that educating media information literacy through online communication should be prioritised, as 140 million Indonesians are active social media users, dominated by the youth aged 18-24 who are prone to be attacked by fake news.

Objective: No studies have examined the relationship between recommended food score (RFS), none recommended food score (NRFS) and cardiovascular risk factors. This study was conducted to evaluate the association of RFS and NRFS with cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese women.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 379 overweight and obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) women aged 18-48 years. Anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis were assessed in all participants. Dietary intake was assessed by a valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) containing 147 items and RFS and NRFS calculated. Biochemical assessments including TC, HDL, LDL, TG, FBS, insulin, HOMA-IR and hs-CRP were quantified by ELISA.Results: The mean age and BMI of participants were 36.73±9.21 (y) and 31.17±4.22 (kg/m²) respectively. Binary logistic analysis showed that participants in the highest quartile of the RFS compared to the lowest quartile had 82% lower risk for Hypertriglyceridemia [OR=0.18, 95%CI=0.06-0.53, P=0.002] and 91% lower risk for abdominal obesity [OR=0.09, 95%CI=0.008-1.04, P=0.05]. in addition, Participants who were in the highest quartile of the RFS compared to the lowest quartile had lower HOMA-IR [OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.08-1.00, P=0.05]. subjects with high adherence to the NRFS had lower HDL [OR=2.11, 95%CI=1.08-4.12, P=0.02] and higher risk for Hypertriglyceridemia [OR=2.95, 95%CI=1.47-5.94, P=0.002] compared to low adherence. Conclusions: There was an inverse significant association between adherence to RFS and risk of Hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance, and abdominal obesity. There was a significant association between NRFS and Hypertriglyceridemia, and also we found an inverse relationship between NRFS and HDL.
Requirements and Effects of Surface Drip Irrigation of Mid-Early Potato Cultivar Courage on a Very Light Soil in Central Poland

The purpose of this research was to determine the water needs and results of drip irrigation of mid-early potato cultivar Courage. Studies were carried out in central Poland in 2011–2013 on very light soil. The experiment was designed as two-factorial trials with four replications. The first factor was drip irrigation: O = control (without irrigation), D = drip irrigation. The second factor was the nitrogen fertilization method: P = broadcasting, F = drip fertigation. Nitrogen fertilization was 120 kg N ha−1 on each plot. Crop coefficients for irrigation period were 0.4 in June and 0.6 in July and August. According to calculations based on the crop coefficients and correction coefficients acc. HargreavesDA model the water requirement of potato for June–August was 202 mm. Drip irrigation increased the marketable tuber yield by 55%. Irrigation water use efficiency increased from 257 kg ha−1 mm−1 in D + P to 264 kg ha−1 mm−1 in D + F. The productivity of 1 kg of nitrogen fertilization was 189 kg ha−1 in control non-irrigated plots and 321 kg ha−1 in drip-irrigated plots, and it rose up to 337 kg ha−1 when fertilization was applied by fertigation.
Study of the Properties of Human Milk Fat Substitutes Using DSC and GC Methods

The development of infant milk fat similar in its structure and composition to that present in human milk receives a considerable amount of attention and has become a challenge for the world’s food industry. The aim of this work was an attempt to obtain structured lipids resembling human milk fat (HMF) by modifying mixtures of lard (L) and rapeseed oil (RO) catalyzed by Lipozyme RM IM. The enzymatic reactions were carried out at 70 °C for 4, 8, and 24 h. The second objective was to study the properties of obtained substitutes of human milk fat (HMFS) using gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) methods. Chromatographic methods were used to determine the composition of fatty acids (FAs) and the regiospecific structure of triacylglycerols (TAG) of obtained HMFS. DSC methods were used to establish the oxidative stability of HMFS and to calculate their kinetic parameters of oxidation. Structured lipids obtained from a mixture of L and RO after 4 h interesterification in 70 °C were characterized by the closest FA content and their distribution in TAG to HMF. Interesterification influenced the decrease of the induction time of obtained structured lipids.

Droplet impacting a superhydrophobic mesh array: Effect of liquid properties

Generation of monodisperse droplets by a large droplet impacting a mesh array is a common technique in microfluidic engineering, materials science, and drug production. Understanding the dynamic mechanism behind this is critical to controlling this process. This work uses a nonorthogonal multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann (LB) method to simulate a droplet impacting a mesh array. By varying the droplet viscosity and surface tension, a comprehensive parametric study is carried out to investigate the influence of droplet properties on the dynamic process of droplet impact, penetration, and fragmentation. The results indicate that the inertial effect dominates the spread stage of droplet impact. At later stages, the viscous drag and surface tension act to prevent the spread of the droplet, which results in different maximum spreading diameters. The penetration of the droplet through the mesh initially leads to the formation of a liquid jet, the length of which is determined by the competition between the dynamic pressure and capillary pressure. Different jet breakup lengths are observed for various Weber numbers. The maximum spreading diameter and jet breakup length are predicted by an extended model over a wide range of liquid properties, in good agreement with the LB simulation results. An analysis is also conducted from an energy perspective. It is found that the surface energy significantly decreases after the fragmentation of the high-viscosity droplet, which is caused by the merge of satellite droplets after the jet breakup.
Comparing the agenda setting role of the Pakistani and Indian newspapers in disasters: a case study of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake

In the aftermath of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, the media played a central role in linking victims to the government apparatus and the national and international community and highlighting weaknesses in the disaster management process. This study was conducted to analyze and compare the ‘agenda setting role’ of the Pakistani newspapers with that of the Indian newspapers after the 2005 Kashmir earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 and resulting in over 78,000 fatalities in Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan and the Indian part of Kashmir. Two Pakistani and two Indian newspapers each with high circulation were selected for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A total of 630 articles were downloaded for analysis out of which 120 front page articles were finally analyzed with the help of five selected themes including extent of damage, phases of disaster, responsibility issues, types of framing and focus on disaster policies. The study revealed that there was a strong agenda setting role of both Pakistani and Indian newspapers in post 2005 Kashmir earthquake. The newspapers focused on broad policy issues using thematic framing techniques with a strong emphasis on response phase, whereas the least attention has been given to preparedness and mitigation strategies. The analysis further revealed that in both the countries, federal government was considered to be responsible for disaster management system by both Pakistani and Indian newspapers and the Indian newspapers have also strongly criticized the Indian army for their unsatisfactory emergency response operations. Newspapers are still one of the most important sources of information in many developing countries including Pakistan and India and they can play a positive role in the management of natural disasters by focusing on mitigation and preparation to prepare communities for future disasters.
The impact of Covid-19 on Gig economy

Abstract Covid-19 has jolted and halted the whole world. Economies and stock markets have been hit hard however very little is known about the impact of the pandemic on Gig economy. So, this study is an attempt to understand the impact of Covid-19 on Gig economy. The Online Labor Index of Oxford University has been used as a measure of Gig Economy and daily record of new cases and deaths of Corona patients has been used as proxies for Covid-19. The world data for Gig economy ranges from July 1, 2019 to June 22, 2020 and the data regarding Covid-19 ranges from December 31, 2019 to June 22, 2020. This study uses GARCH and VAR model to understand the above mentioned relationship. The results of volatility clustering shows that the volatility of Gig economy increased with the news of Covid-19. Findings of VAR show that covid-19 has significant positive impact on new job openings in Gig economy. Granger causality test shows a bi-directional relationship between covid-19 and Gig economy i.e. Covid-19 cases affected online job openings and online job filling affected the spread of pandemic. The Findings suggest that policymakers should make policies to support Gig economy because it has the potential to keep the world going even in the toughest of times.
Intention to use versus actual adoption of technology by university English language learners: what perceptions and factors matter?

Abstract Human perceptions influence attitudes and intentions, and can predict actions. Despite the popular use of technology for English language teaching, and the association between learner factors and technology use, little is known about language learners’ use of technology for personal and interpersonal learning activities, and whether there is a discrepancy between intention and actual adoption in this specific domain. The study adds to the existing literature by testing the association between university English learners’ intention to use technology to achieve personal and interpersonal English learning purposes, attitude towards technology, and perceived usefulness of technology. It examined predictive paths between intended and actual technology use by university learners. With reference to 539 returned questionnaires collected from four language and education disciplines in a private university in Hong Kong, the respondents showed a positive attitude and perceptions towards the use of technology for English language learning. However, their actual adoption of technology to achieve personal or interpersonal learning purposes was not commensurate with the two key learner factors and intention. Students’ discipline and level of study mediated the two learner factors, resulting in different actual English learning behaviours. Recommendations for practitioners to maximise and support technology use by students for learning are given.
Root-Soil Plate Characteristics of Silver Birch on Wet and Dry Mineral Soils in Latvia

Climate change manifests itself as a change in the probability of extreme weather events, and it is projected that windstorms will become more frequent and intense in Northern Europe. Additionally, the frequency and length of warm periods with wet, unfrozen soil in winter will rise in this region. These factors will lead to an increased risk of storm damages in forests. Factors affecting trees’ resistance to wind uprooting have been well quantified for some species but not for a common and economically important tree, the silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.). Therefore, this study aimed to assess the root-soil plate characteristics of silver birch on wet and dry mineral soils in hemiboreal forests. The root-soil plate and aboveground parameters were measured for 56 canopy trees uprooted in destructive, static-pulling experiments. The shape of the root-soil plate corresponds to the elliptic paraboloid. A decreasing yet slightly different trend was observed in root depth distribution with increasing distance from the stem in both soils. The main factors determining root-soil plate volume were width, which was notably larger on wet mineral soils, and tree diameter at breast height. Consequently, the root-soil plate volume was significantly larger for trees growing on wet mineral soils than for trees growing on dry soils, indicating a wind adaptation.
