Published: May 2024

This study examines the dynamics of vannamei shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation in low salinity aquaculture systems, focusing on water quality parameters, plankton diversity, and shrimp growth rates. Vannamei shrimp are favored in aquaculture due to their disease resistance, rapid growth, and high survival rates. Key water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, light intensity, pH, and salinity, were monitored over a 30-day period in low salinity ponds. The results showed significant fluctuations in these parameters, influencing shrimp health and growth. DO levels varied from 5.8 to 8.39 ppm in the morning and from 5.14 to 7.8 ppm in the afternoon. Water temperature ranged from 27.3°C to 32.3°C, light intensity from 3,170 to 66,300 lux, pH from 7.72 to 8.73, and salinity from 5 to 6 ppt. Plankton diversity and density, including species like Microcystis, Cyclotella, and Rhizosolenia, were also assessed, highlighting their role in the aquatic ecosystem. The specific growth rate (SGR) of the shrimp was calculated, showing a favorable growth rate of 2.32% per day. These findings indicate that maintaining stable water quality and diverse plankton populations is crucial for optimizing shrimp growth in low salinity aquaculture systems. This research provides valuable insights into the environmental conditions necessary for successful vannamei shrimp cultivation, emphasizing the importance of regular monitoring and management to ensure sustainable aquaculture

Money Politics from the Perspective of Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim
Authors: Al Hashas Mohammad Nasih
Published: May 2024

This article aims to understand more about the phenomenon of money politics from the perspective of Ahmad Baharuddin Nursalim. He is one of the contemporary fiqh scholars. This type of research is qualitative-descriptive. In an effort to collect data, researcher used the literature study method on data related to the topics discussed in this article. The results of the research show that money politics is an activity that basically violates the rules of state law, violates religious propositions and is contrary to human nature. However, contemporary scholars such as Ahmad Bahauddin Nursalim consider that money politics is no longer categorised as “risywah” (something cursed by Allah and His messenger). The reason is that in this era there is a collective benefit that still needs to be fought using money politics, without money politics it is feared that this benefit will not be achieved and it is feared that it will cause a loss. For him, money politics is not only an activity that can be done by a good Muslim, but for the sake of the benefit of the people, money politics is an obligation for Muslims who are able to do it.

Authors: Le Thi Minh Phuong , Dong Van Huong
Published: May 2024

The biogas has the potential to serve as a substitute as fossil derived fuel. The present study investigates anaerobic co-digestion of organic waste for predictive modelling. Several co-digestion studies were performed with different pH, solid concentration, temperature, and co-digestion ratios. A water displacement apparatus was used to test biogas yield, and data was collected meticulously. Linear regression (LR) and Random Forest (RF) based models were built with Python-based tools and tested using statistical measures for the prediction of biogas yield. The LR showed a strong linear association, with R and R2 values of 0.9892 and 0.9785, respectively. However, RF surpassed LR, with higher R and R2 values of 0.9919 and 0.9826, respectively. Furthermore, RF had lower MSE and MAE values, indicating higher prediction accuracy and precision. RF consistently scored well in tests, demonstrating its ability to capture complicated relationships while minimizing prediction mistakes. Taylor's diagrams further demonstrated RF's excellent performance during both the training and testing periods. Overall, RF emerges as the optimum model for reliably estimating biogas output in anaerobic co-digestion systems, with important implications for waste-to-energy processes.

Bilgi ifşası (whistleblowing) bir örgütte yaşanan etik dışı davranış ve olayların ortaya çıkarılması olarak tanımlanabilir. Örgütler, işletmeler ve bireyler arasında son yıllarda gerek ekonomik gerek prestij gerekse de sosyal anlamda rekabet gittikçe artan bir konu haline gelmiştir. Hal böyle iken kazanç ya da menfaat sağlamak adına ne yazık ki bireyler arasında ve örgütlerde etik kurallara uymayan davranışların görülmesi sıkça görülmektedir. Bu durumu engellemek için bazı yöneticiler bilgi ifşasına önem verirken, bazıları ise olayın daha fazla zarar vereceği düşüncesiyle örtbas etmek isteyebilir. Örgütler için durum böyleyken, bireyler için bilgi ifşası tamamen gönüllülük esasına dayanan bir davranıştır. Bu davranış, riskler içerse de vicdani ve erdemli olarak kabul edilir.
Bu çalışmada, Munzur Üniversitesi çalışanlarının bilgi ifşası(whistleblowing) davranışı ile örgütsel sessizlik davranışı arasındaki ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Munzur Üniversitesi’nde görev yapan 223 kişiye 2 farklı ölçekten oluşan bir anket uygulandı. Belirlenen 11 hipotez için SPSS programından faydalanarak anket sonuçlarında regresyon, korelasyon ve ANOVA ve t testleri analizleri yapıldı.
Çalışmaya katılanlar idari görev, eğitim durumu ve gelir durumu bakımından incelenmiş bilgi ifşasının alt boyutları arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmıştır. Öte yandan bilgi ifşasının alt boyutları ile örgütsel sessizlik alt boyutları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar tespit edilmiştir.

Background: The School Health Service is to help children at school to achieve the maximum health possible for them to obtain full benefit from their education. This study aimed to examine the differ-ence in the knowledge and practice of school health services between public and private primary schools in Ado Ekiti.Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study of public and private primary schools. A multistage sampling technique was used to recruit 425 teachers in 80 public and private schools into the study. A semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire and observational checklist were used for data collection. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics such as per-centages, the sample mean, and frequency tables were done. Inferential statistics were used to test for associations between categorical variables and statistical significance set at p-value < 0.05.Results: The mean age of the teachers in public schools was 42.0 ± 7.5 years, compared to 30.46 ± 7.2 years for teachers in private schools. Married teachers in public and private schools were 202 (92.7%) and 125 (60.4%) respectively. In the public schools, 64 (29.4%) teachers had more than 15 years’ experience and 11 (5.3%) in private schools. More than half of the teachers in both public and private schools had good knowledge of school health services, 118 (59.0%) and 89 (55.3%) respec-tively with p value of 0.477. Only 4 (10%) of the public schools investigated had good practice of school health service while it was 23 (57.5%) in private schools, this was statistically significant with p value of 0.001.Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the knowledge of school health services among teachers of public and private schools. School health services were better practiced in private schools when compared to public schools. Advocacy for strategies that promote a more comprehensive practice of school health services is especially recommended in public schools.

Authors: Yusuf Ibrahim , Oladele-Hameed Sofiyyah , Owoeye Joshua
Published: May 2024

Background: Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) is a very rare painless intermediate to low grade malignancy of the subcutaneous tissue or dermis commonly seen in the young to middle age group and affecting the trunk and proximal extremities. The aim of this report is to present the rare lid affectation of the tumour and the challenges involved in managing a locally invasive tumour in the face of late presentation and financial constraints.
This is a case report of a 35-year-old woman who presented a 10 year history of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans (DFSP) of the right lower lid with facial, maxillary, and orbital invasion of the right side. She underwent multiple surgeries, including orbital exenteration. There were limitations in accessing and following primary surgical procedures with radiation therapy and chemotherapy that could have impacted the overall outcome of this case.
Managing a DFSP in the presence of late presentation, marked local invasiveness and financial constraints is challenging. A multidisciplinary approach involving social workers must be employed if a cure is to be achieved.

Метилникотинат и его аналоги являются эффективными аттрактантами для различных видов трипса, в том числе и западного цветочного трипса. Эти соединения являются легколетучими, поэтому для удобства их практического применения в качестве аттрактантов на ловушках необходимо обеспечить их пролонгированное испарение. В статье изложены материалы лабораторных исследований испарения метилникотината с диспенсеров разной конструкции. Наилучшим вариантом оказались пластины размером 2 х 2,5 см, герметично запаянные в двойные пакеты из полиэтилена высокого давления толщиной 200 мкм. Этот вариант диспенсера с нанесенным на него аттрактантом (метилникотинат, 150 мг) и агрегационным феромоном (нерил-2-метилбутаноат, 1 мг), изготовленным в ФГБУ «ВНИИКР», был испытан на эффективность при отлове западного цветочного трипса Frankliniella occidentalis на культуре огурец в условиях закрытого грунта цветными клеевыми ловушками «Пластина». Ловушки с разработанными диспенсерами отлавливали в 1,4–1,9 раза больше трипсов по сравнению с контрольными на протяжении 40 дней. После 40 дней экспериментальные и контрольные ловушки отлавливали насекомых-вредителей примерно одинаково, что свидетельствовало об исчерпании ресурса диспенсеров.
Морфологическая идентификация красного пальмового клеща Raoiella indica Hirst, 1924 (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)
Authors: Камаев И.О.
Published: May 2024

Настоящая работа посвящена идентификации красного пальмового клеща Raoiella indica, относящегося к семейству клещей-плоскотелок (Acari: Tetranychoidea: Tenuipalpidae). Этот вид клеща является активным инвайдером, повреждающим тропические и субтропические культуры растений. Предполагается, что потенциальным ареалом вида в случае его инвазии в Россию будет являться территория Южного федерального округа. В статье приведена развернутая морфологическая характеристика клещей семейства Tenuipalpidae, учитывающая общепринятые обозначения хетома тела и конечностей, с кратким рассмотрением различий в терминологии относительно названия копулятивного органа самца. Для дифференциации важнейших жизненных стадий большинства видов семейства клещей-плоскотелок представлена определительная таблица, так как видовая идентификация проводится только по взрослым особям. В статье приведены признаки строения взрослых особей красного пальмового клеща (самцов и самок), обобщенные данные по распространению, растениям-хозяевам и диагностическим признакам видов рода Raoiella. Исследованы диагностические признаки дорсоцентрального хетома, хетома каудальной области и конечностей R. indica на примере доминиканской популяции. На основе сводки Beard et al. (2018) и с учетом работ Pritchard, Baker (1958) и Митрофанова, Струнковой (1979) составлена упрощенная определительная таблица для дифференциации R. indica от остальных видов рода для практики фитосанитарных лабораторий. Данный ключ базируется на следующих диагностических признаках: отношения длин дорсоцентральных щетинок, длин первой пары дорсоцентральных щетинок относительно первого междурядья, форма щетинок h2, количество щетинок на колене первой и второй пар ног, отношения длин проксимальных соленидия ω'' и тактильной щетинки ft" на лапках первой пары ног.

Род Rosа объединяет более 250 дикорастущих видов и разновидностей и множество культурных сортов и гибридов, сгруппированных в несколько классов. Родиной розы считается Персия (современный Иран). Роза является представителем рода Rosa (Шиповник). Это один из самых популярных листопадных и вечнозеленых кустарников, используемых для декоративных целей повсеместно: в городском озеленении, в парках, садах, на частных приусадебных участках. Розы обладают полезными свойствами благодаря высокой концентрации эфирных масел, что обусловливает использование данного растения в парфюмерии, косметологии, медицине и даже пищевой промышленности. В настоящее время розы культивируют практически во всех странах мира. На территории Абхазии выращивают около 10 различных видов роз. Влажный климат региона способствует развитию инфекционных болезней, в первую очередь грибных, в связи с чем розы достаточно часто поражаются различными микозами. Важным условием для успешного культивирования роз является раннее выявление фитопатогенов и своевременная борьба ними. В статье кратко представлена обзорная информация по биологическим особенностям фитопатогенов, данные по распространению и вредоносности основных грибных заболеваний роз в Абхазии. Черная пятнистость, ржавчина, мучнистая роса – самые опасные и наиболее распространенные инфекционные заболевания роз в этом регионе. В статье подчеркнута необходимость проведения обработок фунгицидами в защите кустов роз в отношении рассматриваемых болезней и эффективность обрезки, сбора и уничтожения пораженных растительных остатков.
