REMOVAL OF AN ORGANIC DYE FROM TURMERIC (CURCUMA LONGA) USING ACTIVATED CARBON PREPARED FROM GROUNDNUT (ARACHIS HYPOGEA) HUSK
Authors: Orji I. , Njoku Eke-Anyanwu A.
Published: June 2024

Carbon-based adsorbents were prepared from groundnut husk by impregnation with H3PO4 and NaOH before or after carbonization. The adsorbents were characterised by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) adsorption/desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TGA/DTA), and Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These adsorbents were used for the removal of a turmeric based organic dye from aqueous solution. The results obtained from measuring the pH, temperature, and particle size effects on the adsorption process showed that the adsorbent impregnated with H3PO4 before carbonization (CA-B), achieved a higher percentage removal of turmeric dye at all parameters studied. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model explained the experimental data, the adsorption was controlled by liquid ?lm and intraparticle diffusion models simultaneously, the equilibrium data was a good ?t to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model, and physisorption was the predominant sorption process. The results from this research have shown that adsorbents with suitable characteristics for the removal of turmeric dye from aqueous solution could be produced from groundnut husk.

Authors: Oyem H. H. , Oyem I. M.
Published: June 2024

Storage chemistry of palm oil and groundnut oil samples were studied for their quality over the course of storage time and their impact on quality and health. Palm oil and groundnut oil samples were subjected to different moisture contents (water concentration) for some time. The acid values (AVs), free fatty acid (FFA) values, peroxide (P.O) vales, and iodine values (IVs) were determined using standard methods of the American Society of Oil Chemistry monitored during this period. Results indicate that AVs, FFA, and IVs increase with moisture content. Secondly, the AVs, FFA, and IVs of palm oil are higher than those of groundnut oil. Thirdly, the AVs, FFA, and IVs are directly dependent on the moisture content of the oils and increase correspondingly with an increase in water content. Generally, palm oil was found to be more susceptible to spoilage during storage and more affected by lipid oxidation. It is recommended that a threshold limit aw of ? 0.21 for moisture content be the standard for stored edible oils. Consumers should avoid storing and eating palm oil stored for a long period.
Simple Prototype Design of Phytoremediation Installation in Small Pilot Scale of Acid Mine Drainage Passive Treatment
Authors: Ni Kadek Ema Sustia Dewi
Published: June 2024

Phytoremediation is usually applied to passively treat Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) by constructing a wetland. To increase the success of the AMD treatment method, laboratory trials were carried out on a pilot scale, and the experimental results were applied on an actual scale. Therefore, a simple design will be prepared for this research that replicates the wetland work system. This research aimed to produce a prototype that could be used for initial testing of phytoremediation on a smaller scale before being applied to field conditions. The installation design was created using Adobe Illustrator software. The trial lasted two months, using modified acid water and flowing it periodically as controlled droplets via an infusion tap into the media that used Typha sp and Pistia stratiotes L as phytoremediator agents. This equipment was tested with three acidity levels, 4, 5, and 6, repeated twice for two months. Results showed that the prototype was built using three buckets arranged in layers, each with its function. The phytoremediation process had successfully occurred in this study, and installation was suitable to support the process. There was a change in AMD acidity around the plants for five weeks and an increase in acidity the fourth week after treatment at the outlet. It could be seen that AMD with lower acidity levels resulted in greater plant damage in the sixth week, but Typha sp still showed resistance to an acidic environment.
Clay Properties in the Mukdadiya Formation for Drilling Fluid Production from Shorau and Shewsoor, N Kirkuk, Iraq
Authors: Baez Diana , Muhammad Hoshmand
Published: June 2024

The present study involves assessing the potential of the clay layers in the Muqdadiya Formation (late Miocene–Pliocene) for use in oil well drilling fluids. It is achieved through conducting various tests on the samples under investigation and comparing the results with the standard specifications for drilling fluids set by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The study also compares the effectiveness of different additives in improving the local clays and the impact of adding XC-polymer on the current wicking values. It has been found that XC-Polymer possesses superior properties compared to other polymers when used in the same concentrations. This substance is extremely important due to its direct correlation with the operation of drilling fluid. The test was used to determine that the two research models (Shorau and Shewasoor) at their usual concentrations did not produce the necessary characteristics of the drilling fluid in accordance with API requirements. Appropriate specifications for the drilling fluid were obtained by conducting a series of laboratory tests, increasing the model's concentration to 25 grams, and adding high-viscosity CMC and XC-Polymer to the sample in order to assess the current properties of the two study models in fresh media. The Shurao (M1) and Shewsoor (M2) models did not show current properties suitable for drilling fluid in salty media. After adding XC-Polymer to 25 grams of the models activated with 4 grams of Na2CO3, the two study models showed a response to the activation process and obtained results for current properties suitable for drilling operations in salty media. It turned out that the Shewsoor model had more appropriate specifications than the Shorau model.
Provenance Analysis and Diagenesis Using Integrated SEM-Cathodoluminescence and Optical Microscopy for the Sandstones of the Pirispiki Formation, Kurdistan Region, Northern Iraq
Authors: Omer Muhamed
Published: June 2024

The paragenetic history and provenance of framework grains in marginal marine and deltaic sandstones of the Pirispiki Formation in two sections, (Ora and Kaista), northern Iraq were examined. This was achieved using an integrated approach employing scanning electron microscopy-cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL), and optical microscopy. The Pirispiki Formation is lithologically characterized by alternating layers of thin- and thick-bedded sandstones. These were intercalated with thin laminae of grey-black shale. Petrographic analysis revealed that the dominant detrital grains in the mature quartz arenite sandstone were monocrystalline quartz grains with undulose extinction. The diagenetic analysis of the sandstones documented several processes that occur in three distinct stages. The SEM-CL technique enabled the identification of two distinct quartz overgrowth phases. Quartz cementations are of two types, the earliest phase and the most significant by volume is the Q1 cement characterized by dark non-luminescence which led to the destruction of most of the primary pores and the healing of mechanically induced cracks. Q2 cement is formed after major compaction and is characterized by bright luminescence with sector zoning, revealing an intricate SEM-CL zonation. CL revealed five special textures within detrital quartz grains including healed fractures and zoning. The provenance of the detrital quartz grains indicated the dominance of plutonic and metamorphic sources, with trace amounts originating from volcanic sources. These were mostly derived from the Bitlis Massif Zone in Turkey.
Microfacies and Depositional Environments Analyses of the Hartha Formation at Balad Oil Field, Central Iraq
Authors: Salman Lina , Alhazaa Sawsan
Published: June 2024

The Hartha Formation (Late Campanian-Maastrichtian) has been recognized as a potential reservoir for hydrocarbons in various oilfields within the Mesopotamian basin in central Iraq. The formation has conformable upper contact with the overlying Shiranish Formation but unconformable lower contact with the underlying Mushorah Formation. This formation has been stratigraphically divided into two main parts. The lower part is particularly significant as it is recognized as an important stratigraphic unit due to the presence of oil shows. Five subsurface sections and many thin sections of the Hartha Formation (Late Campanian-Maastrichtian) were studied to unravel the depositional facies and environments. The sedimentary microfacies of the Hartha Formation in the Balad oil field include mudstone, wackestone, wackestone to packstone, packstone, Packstone to Grainstone, and Rudstone. These depositional microfacies have been subdivided according to their primary and diagenetic constituents into six sub-microfacies. The microfacies have been deposited in deep shelf margin, open shelf, and foreslope of varying salinities and energy levels. Cementation, dolomitization, compaction and pressure solution (stylolitization ), and dissolution are observed affecting variably both ground mass and particles. These diagenetic processes have both positive and negative effects on porosity types, causing fluctuations in porosity levels. The primary pore types identified within the study wells include interparticle porosity, intercrystal porosity, moldic porosity, vuggy porosity, channel porosity, and fracture porosity.

Global climate conditions and hydrologic processes have changed significantly as a result of climate change, and as long as global warming persists, extreme events will probably more frequently happen. Climate change significantly affects Iraq through variations in air temperature, environment, agriculture and water supply. This study aimed to evaluate the observed period of temperature 19 80–2023 and the Projecting future trends of air temperature for mid and southern Iraq using BNU-ESM, CCSM4, HadGEM2-AO, and MIRIOC5 climate models from CMIP5 under the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios during the periods 2016–2035, 2046–2065, and 2081–2100. The findings verified that, in each of the two RCPs scenarios temperature would increase with different levels. the results showed that the temperature anomaly increased to +15.6 °C, and +18.8 °C under RCR4.5 and RCP8.5 in the MIRIOC5 model, especially in the last decade of the twentieth century. The areas of Iraq most impacted by high temperatures are the south and southeast (Basra, Missan, Thi-Qar, and Muthanna) provinces. In the first period, On the other hand, the less effect areas for the temperature increase were (Anbar and northeast of Diyala) +2.4°C, and +4.4°C for HadGEM2-AO model under RCR4.5 and RCP8.5 respectively. Through all periods, CCSM4, and MIRIOC5 models were the most identical in results. The findings can aid in the evaluation of future drought risks in Iraq by policymakers. Developing suitable adaptation techniques to counter act climate change can also be beneficial.
Cone Penetration Test-based Analysis for Shallow Liquefaction Potential Evaluation Due to Maximum Credible Earthquakes of Cimandiri Fault in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Qodri Muhammad , Anggorowati Veronica , Mase Lindung
Published: June 2024

The West Java region in Indonesia is prone to seismic activity due to its location near several tectonic plate boundaries. Every year a significant earthquake occurred in West Java, resulting in widespread damage and loss of life, one of which resulted from active fault activity, namely the Cimandiri fault. One of the primary hazards associated with seismic events is soil liquefaction, which can occur during seismic events. This research journal presents a detailed investigation into the shallow liquefaction potential evaluation in the affected region using the Cone Penetration Test. The investigation involved extensive fieldwork, including CPT measurements and soil sampling at various locations within the research area. The CPT data were utilized to determine the soil properties and estimate the liquefaction potential using established empirical correlations. The results of the analysis revealed significant variations in the liquefaction potential across the research area. The liquefaction values indicate low to high vulnerability to liquefaction considering the Liquefaction Potential Index (LPI). During an earthquake, vertical settlement values are estimated from 20 mm to 60 mm. Furthermore, horizontal displacement values are 10-70 cm. The findings from this study contribute to the understanding of shallow liquefaction potential in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. The CPT-based analysis provides a reliable and efficient method for assessing liquefaction susceptibility, offering valuable information for urban planning, infrastructure design, and seismic hazard mitigation strategies.

Examining an Interdisciplinary Experiential Learning Program for Doctoral Students
Authors: Holden Michael , Worthington Paisley , Searle Michelle , Mak Cheryl
Published: June 2024

Educators, researchers, and institutions have long recognized the value of experiential learning as a way of fostering students’ ongoing learning and skill development. In recent years, experiential learning has gained increased traction in higher education institutions, as there is recognized need for graduates to engage in and actively reflect on lived experiences in various disciplines. Yet, much of the research in graduate-level experiential learning focuses on discipline-specific experiential learning opportunities, often within the context of a single graduate program where students’ career outcomes and program pathways are narrowly defined. Through qualitative analysis of interview, focus group, and program data collected as part of a collaborative evaluation, we respond to a gap in existing research to examine the diverse perspectives of doctoral students engaged in an interdisciplinary experiential learning program. The study’s findings contribute to a more robust understanding of the potential for experiential learning as an interdisciplinary practice, with direct examples of how doctoral students and higher education institutions are moving this work forward in this context.

Intersections and Interactions in Student Experiences
Authors: Green Patrick
Published: June 2024

This piece is an invited commentary responding to the student roundtable on experiential learning (see ELTHE 7.2 Discussion Roundtable: Student Panel). Framing the essay around how students respond to experiential learning as significant learning experiences, the challenge for educators is to harness these learning experiences intentionally. Fink's integrated course design model and taxonomy of learning is introduced and remixed in this essay. Rooted in practitioner-scholar inquiry, this essay anchors practitioner research as the theoretical foundation to explore the students’ experience, emerging from experiential education practice and leading to broad inquiry focused on the learning that arises (Green, 2023). In the end, a new taxonomy of experiential learning is proposed, based on student responses to experiential learning as featured in the roundtable discussion.
Towards Advanced Tourism Development in Indonesia: A Critical Review of Free-Visa Policy

Published: June 2024

Pada 2016, Pemerintah Indonesia menginisiasi kebijakan bebas visa bagi 169 negara untuk meningkatkan jumlah kunjungan wisatawan asing secara signifikan. Namun, pada 2018, parlemen merekomendasikan peninjauan kembali kebijakan tersebut. Hal ini mengingat potensi tindak pidana, baik kejahatan maupun pelanggaran, yang dilakukan oleh penerima bebas visa serta dampak signifikan terhadap penurunan pendapatan negara. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif, yang mencakup studi literatur dan analisis dokumen hukum, studi ini bertujuan untuk memberikan solusi alternatif terhadap kebijakan bebas visa di Indonesia. Studi ini menemukan bahwa (1) prinsip-prinsip utama dari kebijakan bebas visa di Indonesia adalah resiprokalitas dan prinsip manfaat; (2) kebijakan ini juga kurang didukung oleh justifikasi yang memadai dari negara-negara penerima, dan belum ada bukti empiris yang konklusif tentang dampak positif kebijakan tersebut terhadap peningkatan jumlah wisatawan asing ke Indonesia; (3) oleh karena itu, perlu penyempurnaan norma hukum terutama dalam peraturan keimigrasian untuk memastikan tujuan pemerintah selaras dengan prinsip-prinsip keamanan dan proteksi teritorial. Pembuat kebijakan perlu untuk mempertimbangkan penyesuaian Undang-Undang Keimigrasian agar harmonis dengan kebijakan bebas visa, demi mencapai tujuan strategis nasional tanpa mengesampingkan aspek keamanan dan kedaulatan negara.Abstract:In 2016, the Indonesian Government initiated a visa-free policy for 169 countries to significantly increase the number of foreign tourists visiting. However, in 2018, parliament recommended a review of the policy. This is considering the potential of criminal acts, both crimes and violations, by visa-free recipients and a significant impact on the decline in state revenue. Through a qualitative approach, which includes a literature review and legal document analysis, this study aims to provide alternative solutions to the visa-free policy in Indonesia. The study found that (1) the main principles of Indonesia's visa-free policy are reciprocity and the benefit principle; (2) this policy is also not supported by adequate justification from the recipient countries, and there is no conclusive empirical evidence of the positive impact of the policy on the number of foreign tourist to Indonesia; (3) therefore, need for refinement legal norm, especially immigration regulations, to ensure that government objectives are aligned with the principles of territorial security and national protection principles. Policymakers must consider adjusting the Immigration Law to be in harmony with the visa-free policy to achieve national strategic goals without overriding the security and sovereignty aspect of the country.
A Post-Darwinian Fable: Canine Narration in The Call of the Wild
Authors: Zhang Xin
Published: June 2024

The paper reads Jack London’s The Call of the Wild as a post-Darwinian fable that challenges the anthropomorphism and sentimentality in the notoriously charged genre of the animal fable. London’s post-Darwinian representation of canine narration in an evolutionary continuum seeks to deconstruct the inherent hierarchy embedded in the fable. Through a reconciliation of the animal fable’s internal and external conflict, London aims to draw an ethical critique of amoral aspects of social Darwinism that underlies the American industry culture at the turn of the century. The remapping of humanity/animality, progression/regression, and the society/the wild within a bispecies environment for coevolution embodies London’s endeavor to rescue the reputation of the genre of fable from a conventional naturalist mode. London’s proclaimed vigor and science in the critique of animal fable further aspire to redeem the feminized professionalism of writing.

Evaluating Serum Biomarkers (DPP-4, GLP-1, Ki-67 Protein) Levels for Early Detection of Diabetic Breast Cancer
Authors: Hadi Hadi Hassan , Al-Ziaydi Ahmed Ghdhban
Published: June 2024

Background: Breast tumours are the second most common cancer in women. A mammary cancer is a multi-step process that involves several cell types and is yet difficult to prevent globally. One of the best ways to prevent breast cancers is by early detection. In many affluent nations, the 5-year proportional perseverance ratio for people with mammary neoplasms is over 80% because to early detection. Over the past ten years, significant progress has been made in both the understanding of mammary tumours and the development of preventative interventions. Diabetes, often known as diabetes mellitus (DM), is a collection of illnesses characterized by elevated blood sugar levels brought on by flaws in the body's capacity to make and/or utilize insulin. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum biomarkers (DPP-4, GLP-1, Ki-67 protein) in individuals with diabetes, breast cancer, diabetic breast cancer, and a control group. Methods: The samples were taken from individuals at Al-Najaf Teaching Hospital and the Najaf Cancer Centre between 30/10/2023 and 1/3/2024. The blood samples were 120 blood samples acquired from Iraqi subjects. The participants included four groups and each group consisted of 30 participants, (Diabetes type 2 patient group, Breast cancer patient group, Diabetic breast cancer patient group, and Control group). Results:  The difference in serum DPP-4 levels, between diabetic, breast cancer individuals and healthy control groups, is statistically noteworthy. The results show a higher DPP-4 level in patient groups than in the control group. While there was no significance in the GLP-1 and Ki-67 proteins in the patient and control groups. Conclusion: These results suggest that high serum DPP-4 could serve as a useful screening marker for the early detection of diabetic breast cancer.  ًWhile, The lack of differences in GLP-1 and Ki-67 proteins levels across the groups indicates these biomarkers may not be as informative for identifying diabetic breast cancer in this population.

Analysis of relation between seismicity and features of potential fields within the Lena-Anabar trough: experience of usage modern GIS-technologies
Authors: Kulyandina Albina S. , Sokolova Elena Yu. , Filippova Alena I.
Published: July 2024

In this paper, we study a relation between seismicity and features of geomagnetic and gravity fields within the Lena-Anabar trough and adjacent areas (northwestern Yakutia) applying the modern GIS INTEGRO software. A review of regional seismicity, registered during the instrumental observation period (1963–2022) from data of permanents seismic station network of the Yakutsk Branch of FRC GS RAS, is presented. The potential fields were analyzed based on maps compiling results of 1 : 200 000 surveys. Technologies of GIS INTEGRO allowed us to trace the main features of the spatial morphology and calculated statistical parameters of the potential fields and to compare them with known tectonic structures and a seismicity distribution within the study region. The results of the performed analysis clearly demonstrate a correlation of anomalous characteristics of gravity and magnetic fields with earthquake epicenter locations. This is a good premise for further geophysical modeling aimed at revealing structural and tectonic features of earthquake sources in northwestern Yakutia.
Study of the structure of land in the 18th–21st centuries
using GIS-technology methods in Kenozersky national park
Authors: Kozykin Alexander V. , Nakvasina Elena N.
Published: July 2024

GIS-technologies open up wide opportunities in historical and environmental research, including for assessing the historical transformation of land. These transformations are related to socio-economic situations and are reflected in landscapes. We have studied the dynamics of land use (natural and farmland) of different categories in a key area of the Kenozersky National Park (Arkhangelsk Region) with a total area of 56.5 thousand hectares. For this purpose, the plans of the General Surveying of the 1780s, the special surveying of 1861, the satellite images of 1986 and 2021, as well as the forest management plans of 2014 were used. The binding of raster analogues of boundary plans and their vectorization were carried out using the basic tools of the ArcGIS program. The dynamics of land use within the key area under study for 250 years is shown, broken down into categories of land use corresponding to the attributes of their time, including the dynamics of agricultural land, reflecting the socio-economic structure. Historically, the transformation of landscapes reflects the relative stability of maximum plowing of land when using a slash-and-burn (shifting) farming system of agriculture in combination with a three-field system in the 18th-19th centuries. Subsequent twofold changes in the socio-economic system in the 20th–21st centuries led to the complete loss of all arable land within the key area and its transfer to the category of natural plantings when overgrown with forest.

The dragon fruit peels (Hylocereus undatus) are typically thrown away as agricultural waste. The disposal of bio-wastes, like peels from dragon fruit and microbiological contamination during their mass breakdown, all contribute to environmental degradation. Peel can be used to extract naturally occurring colour for pigments. The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using the peel of Hylocereus undatus as a coating material for wound healing. The extraction method and potential uses of the pigments derived from the peel will be explored. The study aimed to determine the phytochemical components of Hylocereus undatus (peel) extract and the peel can be utilized as a raw material for pigment extraction due to the betalain content. With the use of a magnetic stirrer extraction, the peel of Hylocereus undatus was extracted with aqueous extraction. Thin layer chromatographic techniques are used to identify the pigment components. In the present study, we recorded both UV-VIS and FT-IR profile of peel extract to known the various phytoconstituents and determine the functional group present in Hylocereus undatus (white dragon fruit). The pigment needs to be applied to the wound gauze, and the stain resistance should be evaluated by determining how well the wound gauze can withstand contamination from the outside coating. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors are interested in Hylocereus undatus peel due to its components, which may have potential health applications such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-cancer characteristics

Delegation of statutory regulations is often interpreted as an order to make equivalent rules or inferior rules in the form of implementing regulations. This delegation is stated in the article of the Law. It becomes a dilemma if there is an article that is delegated to form an implementing regulation, but the regulation has been regulated by regulations that are still in force and are still relevant to higher regulatory regulations so that the formation of new implementing regulations is not yet necessary, while the regulation that mandates it provides a time limit. Establishment of implementing regulations. This research aims to find out, explain and analyze problems related to the implementation mechanism for the formation of implementing regulations from a statutory regulation. Apart from that, to find out and analyze the impact if the government as a regulator does not carry out delegation of a statutory regulation. This research is normative juridical research (doctrinal legal research). Provisions regarding the time limit for enacting Government Regulations and other regulations as implementation of the Law are orders from Article 74 paragraph (1) of Law No. 12 of 2011. Determining the time limit for the formation of implementing regulations for the formation of statutory regulations contained in the Law is an important thing as a limit for the government to immediately ensure that there are implementing regulations for a Law, thereby ensuring effective implementation of the Law. If the President does not formulate implementing regulations by the deadline for forming implementing regulations, this does not eliminate the president's authority to establish implementing regulations at a later date.

This research stems from the author's concerns about seeing the phenomenon of local fashion styles in photos uploaded to Taeyong NCT's Instagram when he was in Indonesia. The aim of this research is to reveal Taeyong NCT's local fashion style which represents Indonesian culture. This research uses qualitative research methods with Peirce's semiotic approach. The findings from this research are that the fashion worn by Taeyong represents culture, while the style displayed is the style of a photo model. So, his fashion style interprets that Taeyong is "playing a role" as someone with Indonesian culture. The image of being a lover of Indonesian culture could be attached to Taeyong after uploading the photo on his Instagram which could have positive impacts on him.

Red flesh pitaya (Hylocereus sp.) is a highly perishable fruit with a high content of bioactive compound. It has short shelf life due to high moisture content and water activity. In this study, red flesh pitaya (RFP) powder was produced via foam mat drying method (FMD) with egg albumen (EA) and whey protein isolate (WPI) as the foaming agents. This study aimed to investigate the effect of foaming agent types and its ratio with RFP puree on physicochemical properties of foam-mat dried RFP powder. RFP fruit was incorporated and foamed with EA and WPI at 0 %, 5 %, 15 % and 30 % w/w concentrations. The foam was dried at 65 ?C for 5 hours. The powders were analysed for its moisture content, water activity, solubility, density, colour, fiber and total soluble solid (TSS). Decreasing the puree concentration from 85% to 55% while increasing the concentration of foaming agents (0% to 30%) has decreased the value of moisture content, water activity, crude fiber and colour properties. Meanwhile, the solubility, density and TSS of the foam-mat dried RFP powder was increased with increasing the concentration of both foaming agents (decreasing the ratio of RFP puree) used. The quality of powder foamed with WPI has produced the lowest in moisture content (2.86 %) and water activity (0.18), high in solubility (71.03 %), densities (0.56 g/cm3 and 0.84 g/cm3) and high in TSS (9.61). Meanwhile, the quality of samples foamed with 5% EA and 80% of RDF puree observed high in fiber content (3.38 %) and mostly retains the colour properties. FMD technique may be applied as the preservation technique of fruit powder as it has produced the powder with low moisture content and good colour properties within a short time and is more economical.

Fertigation technology system has emerged as an assisted technology to ease the farmers' jobs in the field. This technology has been popularly used by chilli, cucumber, and eggplant growers as it can minimise farm labour use. However, due to the high installation and maintenance costs, farmers refuse because they cannot afford it on their farms. Additionally, this system may appear to have technical problems such as blockage, and the skilful person must attend to it. So, this study aims to examine farmers' acceptance level in Kelantan on the fertigation system technology. About 100 respondents from Kota Bharu, Tumpat, Pasir Mas and Bachok were interviewed using a structured questionnaire, and simple random sampling was used as a sampling method for this study. The descriptive analysis has also been used to identify the socio-demographic profile of the respondents and the acceptance level towards the fertigation system. The mean score was categorised into three categories: low (1 to 2.33), moderate (2.34 to 3.66) and high (3.67 to 5). The findings demonstrate a high mean score, with 70% of the farmers accepting the fertigation system to assist them on the farm. In conclusion, most farmers have opened their minds and are ready to get the fertigation system technology to generate more profit. It is hoped that more collaborations between government agencies, non-profit organisations, and investors will notice the need for this technology to boost farmers' livelihoods and Malaysian food security.

International and Russian experience in the application of regulatory contracts (agreements) in the sectors of communal infrastructure (housing and communal services) was investigated. Various models of regulatory agreements were analyzed. Prospects for the development of the concept of regulatory agreements in Russian legislation, including issues of tariff regulation within the framework of regulatory agreements, were considered. Conclusions were drawn regarding the prospects for introducing regulatory agreements in the communal infrastructure in Russia.
Criteria for Distinguishing Between Advertising and Organic Integration

Monitoring and supervision of compliance with advertising legislation, including requirements related to the definition of certain information as advertising, is attributed to the powers of the Federal Antimonopoly Service. The provisions of the current legislation on advertising don't apply to information organically integrated into works of culture, science, and art, which is an opportunity to avoid administrative liability in case of detection of signs of violation of advertising legislation. In this case, the key question becomes when information is considered organically integrated and how to distinguish it from advertising. The authors propose and justify criteria for distinguishing advertising and information messages, taking into account the long-term practice of the FAS of Russia and the courts.

Catha edulis (khat) is a plant grown commonly in the Republic of Yemen. The leaves of small khat are chewed by the people for its stimulant action. Association between body composition, khat chewing is little known. We recruited 300 individuals 19-70 years of age from University of Science and Technology, Sana’a, Yemen. Demographic, body composition and physical activity data were collected using structured questionnaires and anthropometric measurements devices. Muscle mass (kg), body fat (kg), visceral fat (kg), waist circumference (cm) and body Mass index (kg/m2) were estimated. Participants in habit of khat chewing were 170 (56.7%) of Chewer and 130 (43.3%) of non-chewer.  Participants’ mean ± SD of age was 38.7±9 years, 217 (72.3%) and 83 (27.7%) were males and females, respectively. Including 40 (13.3%) smokers and 260 (86.7%) non-smokers. Whereas 151 (88.8%) of the men and 19 (11.2%) of the women take khat, including 39 (22.9%) academics and 131 (77.1%) non-academics. In addition, 46 (27.1%) have low activity and 105 (61.8%) %) had moderate activity and 19 (11.2%) had high activity.  Participants in daily khat chewing were 77 (45.3%) while 14 (8.2%), 43 (25.3%), 36 (21.2%) were 4-6 times/week, 2-3 times/week and Once/week, respectively. Participants spent an average of 4.5±2 hours per day in khat chewing sessions, with 52.9% spending 1-4 hours, 43.5% spending 5-8 hours, and 3.5% spending more than 8 hours. The majority of khat chewers reported spending around 2000 Yemeni Riyals (Y.R.) per day on khat. In terms of the impact on meal schedules, 38.8%.  Khat chewers had higher muscle mass (33±6), lower body fat percentages (27.8±9), higher levels of visceral fat (9.3±4), larger waist circumferences (88.4±10) and slightly higher BMI values (25.9±4) compared with non-chewers were muscle mass (29.9±7), body fat percentages (31±12 levels of visceral fat (7.8±4), waist circumferences (82.6±11) and BMI values (24.9±4). In addition to, males khat chewers had higher muscle mass, higher visceral fat levels and higher waist circumferences values in compared with females where were muscle mass, visceral fat levels and waist circumferences low. There is no significant association between khat chewers’ status and excess body fat.
