Abstract: In the hadith, Rasulullah SAW prohibit human to consume meat and milk from manure-eating animal (Jallalah animal). In this study, tilapia fishes were fed chicken manure (being Jallalah). Then, it was analyzed based on the microbe in their intestine. The purposes of this study are to isolate and to identify the types of bacteria, and to determine the pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria in the intestines of fish that have been fed chicken manure. Bacteria samples were isolated from the intestine of fish with chicken manure and the commercial fish food as a control. Bacteria identification was done by using morphological characterization, macroscopic and microscopic identification, and biochemical test. The results show that 21 isolated bacteria in the fish intestine that was fed chicken manure and six of the bacteria are pathogenic. Based on this study, it can be concluded that tilapia fish by feeding with chicken manure contains many types of pathogens bacteria. Briefly, tilapia fish is not good for being consumption.Abstrak: Dalam hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Umar,  Rasulullah SAW. Melarang memakan daging dan meminum susu hewan pemakan kotoran (hewan Jallalah). Pada penelitian ini, ikan nila diberi pakan kotoran ayam (menjadi Jallalah). Selanjutnya ikan tersebut dianalisis kandungan mikroba yang terkandung didalam saluran pencernaannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengisolasi dan mengidentifikasi bentuk bakteri dan mendeterminasi bakteri patogen dan non-patogen yang terdapat didalam saluran pencernaan ikan ynag telah diberi pakan kotoran ayam. Sampel bakteri diisolasi dari saluran pencernaan ikan setelah diberi kotoran ayam dan ikan yang diberi pakan komersil (kontrol). Identifikasi bakteri dilakukan secara makroskopik, mikroskopik, dan uji biokimia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ditemukan 21 isolat bakteri dalam usus ikan yang diberi korotan ayam yang tergolong ke dalam genus Listeria, Staphylococcus, Alcaligenes, Cromobacterium, Edwardisiella, Micrococcus, Bacillus, dan Kurthia. Dari 21 jenis tersebut terdapat 6 jenis bakteri pathogen yaitu Edwarsiella sp, Micrococcus sp, Staphylococcus sp, Alcaligenes sp, Listeria sp dan Chromobacterium. Kesimpulan pada penelitian ini bahwa hewan ikan yang memakan kotoran ayam mengandung banyak jenis bakteri patogen sehingga tidak baik untuk di konsumsi.

Published: December 2020

Os pequenos produtores rurais exercem inúmeras atividades voltadas à agricultura e pecuária em suas propriedades sem ter uma carga horária definida, baseando-se de acordo com a necessidade da realização das tarefas. A ginástica laboral tem sido utilizada em diversas intervenções visando à melhora da qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores de setores urbanos, contudo, no setor rural, esta prática é ainda incipiente. Assim, objetiva-se avaliar a mudança na qualidade de vida de produtores de leite participantes do programa de atividades de ginástica laboral da Comunidade de São Justino em Juína/MT. Foi realizado uma análise do perfil socioeconômico dos ordenadores da comunidade e traçada a qualidade de vida dos mesmos antes e após intervenção com ginástica laboral. Para avaliação física dos ordenadores foi realizado o teste da quantidade de dor, por meio da Escala Visual Analógica da Dor, flexibilidade (Banco de Wells) e qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-bref). As médias de qualidade de vida dos participantes da pesquisa melhoraram significativamente após a intervenção e houve melhora na flexibilidade e diminuição da incidência de dor nos segmentos corporais citados. A ginástica laboral no meio rural também pode ser utilizada para melhoria da qualidade de vida dos produtores bem como melhora física.

Published: December 2020

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a transmissão de preços em produtos da cesta básica entre os níveis de comercialização atacado e varejo na cidade de São Paulo. Por meio da análise de transmissão de preços entre estes dois elos da cadeia de distribuição de alimentos, será possível observar se há distorções no repasse de preços, que possa prejudicar o bem-estar do consumidor, visto que há evidências de concentração no mercado varejista. Utilizam-se modelos econométricos a fim de obter a elasticidade de transmissão de preços e testar a simetria no repasse de preços de longo prazo. Os resultados indicam que, para a minoria dos produtos analisados, há assimetria na transmissão de preços entre atacado e varejo. Com isso há indícios de que variações no preço real são repassadas ao consumidor final e que apenas para manteiga, carne e batata esses repasses são assimétricos, elevando o preço real cobrado no varejo.
O EFEITO DO SALDO POPULACIONAL NA INDEPENDÊNCIA FINANCEIRA DOS MUNICÍPIOS
Authors: Correia Pedro Miguel Alves Ribeiro , Pinto João Pedro Teixeira
Published: December 2020

Com as dificuldades que Portugal tem em renovar o seu saldo populacional, muitos municípios viram a sua população reduzida, à exceção dos municípios das áreas metropolitanas (Lisboa e Porto). Assim, e após a análise dos conceitos de descentralização e de federalismo fiscal, e da evolução dos dados relacionados com o saldo total de população, independência financeira e rendimento próprio per capita, verificou-se necessário colocar duas hipóteses, que consistem em verificar a correlação da população com a independência financeira e o rendimento per capita com a independência financeira. Assim, o objetivo do artigo passa por verificar se os municípios foram ou não afetados em termos de independência financeira devido ao seu saldo populacional negativo. As duas hipóteses colocadas neste artigo são, H1: Existe uma correlação entre a população total e a independência financeira, e os saldos populacionais negativos influenciaram esta correlação, e H2: Uma menor correlação entre a população total significa uma maior correlação do rácio per capita. Foi possível verificar que a correlação entre o número de habitantes e a independência dos seus municípios, verificando que esta diminuiu no total de dois anos, sendo que, pelo contrário, a correlação com o rendimento per capita aumentou, mostrando que alguns municípios conseguiram encontrar formas mais eficientes de aumentar a sua independência financeira, diminuindo a sua dependência do número de habitantes. Estes municípios que conseguiram melhorar a sua independência sofrendo perdas de habitantes, devem ser tidos como exemplo, e futuramente estudados, de forma a encontrar soluções para os municípios que ainda não atingiram a sua independência.

Para muitos a geração de resíduos sólidos é vista como uma adversidade, já para ecoempreededores essa questão é encarada como oportunidade de negócio. Com a promulgação da Lei n° 12.305 de 2 de agosto de 2010, a qual instituiu a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, diversas concepções surgiram e se encontram em mudanças contínuas de aperfeiçoamento, uma vez que a lei tem como conceitos a não geração, redução, reutilização e reciclagem dos resíduos antes de uma disposição final adequada, ou seja, o mesmo de reintegrar o ciclo produtivo antes de ser descartado em aterro sanitário. Porém, existem dificuldades ainda neste ciclo, pois faltam projetos e produtos que consigam alcançar a eficiência ambiental e financeira. Uma possibilidade que se mostra promissora é a madeira plástica, na qual pode substituir a madeira natural e demonstra ser econômica e ambientalmente viável. O objetivo desde estudo foi realizar um diagnóstico de como uma indústria de madeira plástica do Vale do Sinos desenvolve suas atividades e, a partir de uma análise técnica, sugerir melhorias nos pontos mais sensíveis encontrados. Em muitos casos, os ecoemprendedores possuem dificuldades em gerenciar o seu negócio deste nicho de mercado. A metodologia foi um estudo de caso dividido em uma pesquisa bibliográfica dos conceitos e uma pesquisa de campo na empresa Alpha localizada no Vale do Sinos. Os resultados apontaram que a empresa requer melhorias a serem desenvolvidas nas áreas do marketing, do controle de qualidade e do acondicionamento de materiais. Os resultados demonstraram que os empreendedores estão alinhados ao conceito de empreendedorismo e empreendedorismo verde, desenvolver melhorias no seu planejamento, marketing, controle de qualidade e armazenamento em busca da perpetuidade do empreendimento.

CABOCLOS EM MOVIMENTOS: DANÇAS DE CABOCLOS NO CANDOMBLÉ EM SALVADOR
Authors: Rizek Sheldon Ana
Published: December 2020

Este artigo aborda os caboclos através de sua dança em terreiros de candomblé de Salvador. Partindo do conceito latouriano de articulação, mostra as celebrações como momentos de adensamento de dinâmicas relacionais que favorecem articulações entre entidades e pessoas. Primeiro, o trabalho discute como a presença das entidades se revela aos filhos de santo enquanto possibilidade de movimento e ganha novos contornos a medida em que o corpo é “articulado” por diversos elementos do terreiro como a música, a composição do espaço e outros corpos em movimento. Depois, aborda como o modo dos caboclos se moverem está relacionado às articulações que eles promovem e de que são parte. Por fim, o texto procura salientar que o jeito de cada caboclo se portar e sambar está implicado nas relações estabelecidas por ele, que podem extrapolar os momentos de festa,

redirecionar conexões pregressas e atravessar gerações.
ETNOGRAFIA DE PROJETOS POLÍTICOS: SOBRECODIFICANDO O MUNDO SOBRECODIFICADO QUE CARLY MACHADO NOS APRESENTA
Authors: Feltran Gabriel
Published: December 2020

Este comentário, inspirado no texto de Carly Machado aqui publicado, é uma sobrecodificação intencional da etnografia realizada pela autora. Ele quer descrever os mesmos fenômenos por ela tratados, em especial o Ministério Flordelis e seus congressos religiosos, mas agora com categorias próprias do pensamento político secularizado, que me parece também informar as teorias nativas por ela estudadas. Além dessa tradução sobrecodificadora, procuro neste comentário subir a escala da abstração e tratar não mais do universo empírico em questão, mas da cena política brasileira que o projeto estudado escreve junto à sua comunidade política, enquanto nos permite entrevê-la. Parcial e provisório, este comentário ensaístico pretende que algum desentendimento entre ciência do social, e análise de conjuntura, seja produtivo a um só tempo intelectual e politicamente.
EMARANHADOS E MISTURAS: POSSIBILIDADES DE TRABALHO EM CONTEXTOS DE COMPLEXIDADE

Este texto procura destacar brevemente os rendimentos da ideia de “emaranhado”, apresentada por Carly Machado no artigo “Fazendo política em outros Congressos: tramas religiosas, práticas midiáticas e a estética da política nas periferias urbanas do Rio de Janeiro” (publicado neste mesmo número), como chave de leitura possível dos procedimentos utilizados pela autora. Embora a ênfase na complexidade e na produção de uma teoria desde a etnografia seja comum a diversas tradições antropológicas (para alguns, inclusive, é a própria definição distintiva da disciplina, como se sabe) o manejo de “emaranhados” pela autora demonstra os ganhos específicos dessa abordagem para o estudo de pentecostais, margens e de “eventos”.

Objectives: To clinically and microbiologically evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in addition to full-mouth ultrasonic subgingival debridement (FM-UD), in the initial treatment of chronic periodontitis.  Methods: Twenty patients presenting moderate to severe generalized forms of chronic periodontitis were included in a three-month randomized, parallel-group, single-blinded, prospective study. At baseline patients were randomly assigned to two treatment groups [Test Group (FM-UD+HBO2) and Control Group (FM-UD)]. Both groups were treated with an FM-UD session. Ten HBO2 sessions (one session per day for 10 days at a pressure of 2.5 ATA) were additionally administered to the Test Group. Soft tissues parameters [probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL) and visible plaque index (VPI)] were assessed at baseline (immediately before FM-UD treatment), after two weeks, after six weeks and at three months. For each patient, a site presenting PPD ≥ 6mm and positive BOP was selected as a qualifying site (QS), to be monitored clinically (at T0, T1, T2 and T3) and microbiologically (at T0, T1 and T3). Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups for any clinical parameter analyzed after three months, except for BOP, which was significantly (p < 0.05) reduced in the Test Group. Reductions in bacterial levels were detected in both groups after therapy. Faster bacterial recolonization occurred after three months in the Control Group. Conclusion: HBO2 therapy in combination with FM-UD may represent an efficacious approach to the treatment of moderate to severe forms of periodontitis.

Mandar coconut oil made in Tulu village, Majene Regency, West of Sulawesi, is very popular among Sulawesi Barat people. It is because of the unique aroma which is not owned by other Mandar oil traders. In addition, according to Mandar coconut oil trader who is also the produsen of Mandar oil said that his coconut oil could be stored for months. This research aimed to know the influence of water content and free fatty acid content on Mandar coconut oil shelf life. Gravimetric Method and Alkaline method were used to determine the water content and the free fatty acid content respectively. The oil was stored at room temperature. Water content and free acid content were measured every week, i.e week zero to week four (5 observations). Shelf life estimation was done by applying the kinetic theory. The result shows that the water content and the free fatty acid content increase as shelf life increases. Mandar coconut oil can be stored at room temperature for 1 month, 12 days.

Otherlands
Authors: Jacqueline Taylor
Published: December 2020

‘Otherlands’ is an interdisciplinary and collaborative project traversing visual art, linguistics, psychoanalysis and philosophy. It interrogates Julia Kristeva’s concepts of abjection and the semiotic as pre-linguistic markers and their potential to articulate ‘otherness’ in visual art. Whilst Kristeva’s thinking is revolutionary in conceptualising dimensions of experience ‘beyond’ language and representation as vital to the signifying process, its application in aesthetic practice is limited. Those art practices that have engaged with abjection and the semiotic rely on representational strategies and thus undermine their very definition.

Otherlands demonstrates that it is only where representational structures are disrupted towards the place where meaning collapses that abjection can function as ‘abjection’ in art practice, in turn articulating modalities of ‘othering’ as part of an alternative signifying process. Understood via a new theory of ‘intermateriality’ developed by the researcher, Otherlands offers for the first time vital new ways of understanding meaning-making in art practice that shifts from representational and visual economies of signification to the material, performative, affective and intersubjective dimensions of art.

Informed by an eight-year corpus of practice-led research, Otherlands was developed collaboratively through 12 months of rigorously testing ideas. This included textual analysis, an on-site curatorial residency (University of Memphis), field visits to examine ‘othering’ in selected cultural sites, interviews with key practitioners and scholars, and feedback gathered at the Otherlands exhibition and live event at the Kristeva Circle annual conference, Memphis (prestigious interdisciplinary platform for world-leading Kristeva scholars). The work was blind peer-reviewed by the Kristeva Circle directors and Art Museum University of Memphis curatorial committee.

The research includes a two-person exhibition with award-winning artist Georgia MacGuire, curatorial essay by Kristeva expert Professor Estelle Barrett and major live performative event. The research is simultaneously all these outputs, understood via the interrelations between its different parts as an ‘other’ form of signification.
A–Z Display Units (After Kiesler & Krischanitz) 2015–2020
Authors: Gavin Wade
Published: December 2020

Art is not exhibited. Art Exhibits – Gavin Wade, 2012.

Wade’s practise and research challenges the nature and understanding of art’s primary function as an exhibition. His work expands the artist-curator role through his development of new systems of display. These draw on historical precedents creating sculptural mediations between artists, curators, and publics. He proposes transformative artworks as social systems and temporal experiences, always requiring collaboration with others. Drawing from studies of ‘useful art’, ‘artist and engineering’, ‘support structures’ (Condorelli and Wade, 2009) and referencing Artist Placement Group’s concept ‘context is half the work’, his output informs understandings of ‘when artists curate’ (Green, 2018) and the ‘transhistorical museum’ (Demeester, 2018).

Wade’s remodelling and extending of a series of ‘Display Units’ use a process of ‘upcycling’, a term Wade uses to describe his method. In 2015 Wade started developing artworks upcycled from the ‘L and T–Type Display Units’ (Frederick Kiesler,1924) and referencing the ‘Vienna Secession Mobile Wall System’ (Adolf Krischanitz,1986). Wade’s synthesizing method is generating a new A–Z alphabet Display Unit system as part of the process of re-imagining curatorial activities as a form of art practice. His Upcycle This Book (2017), nominated for the European Prix Bob Calle du livre d’artiste, presents 26 texts on this work and 12 Display Unit drawings.

Wade created Display Units for ‘Display Show’(2015), exhibited in Dublin, Birmingham and Netherlands – funded by ACE/British Council International Artists Development Award. Christopher Williams (USA), Eilis McDonald (IRE) and Leeds Weirdo Club (UK) were collaborating artists.

Wade worked with Frans Hals Museum collection to create ‘Z is for ZOO’ (2017) exploring the transhistorical potential of his ‘Z-Type’ and ‘T-Type’ Display Units, artworks purchased by the museum.

His writing for ‘Display Show’ provided the provocation for ‘That Art Exhibits’: EARN Conference, Brussels (2016). Wade was the invited keynote speaker.

Published: December 2020

Background: COVID-19, a novel pneumonia associated with the 2019
coronavirus infected pneumonia suddenly broke out in the world. The aim
of this study is to analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics
of pediatric patients with COVID‐19. Patients and method: Twenty-one
patients confirmed by clinical and laboratory findings from 20 February
to 19 April, 2020 in North of Iran were included. Demography
information, clinical, laboratory and radiological findings, and
treatment strategies of patients were evaluated. All statistical
analyses were performed using SPSS version 13.0 software. Results: Body
temperature was ≥38ºC in 11(52.4%) patients. Eleven (52/3%) patients
had tachypnea and 4(19%) of them developed tachycardia. Six (30%) of
patients suffered from a decrease in white blood cells. Also a decrease
in creatine phosphokinase level was seen in 1(33%) of patients. Nine CT
scans (42.85%) demonstrated a halo sign. Seven patients’ (33.33%) CT
scans showed a patchy infiltration. Nine (42.85%) CT scans had
bilateral crazy-paving pattern. 38.1% of patients were treated with
chloroquine and oseltamivir. Four (19.04%) patients died and
17(80.95%) patients were discharged from the hospital. One of the
patients who died suffered from acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Conclusion: We found out that pediatrics, especially boys are more
susceptible to COVID‐19 and it is more common in school-age and
toddlers. Manifestations are milder than adults and severe cases
associated with underlying disease. The effectiveness of medications
used in the treatment of this disease need further study.
Functional Bowel Disorders in Patients with Brugada Syndrome and Drug-Induced Type 1 Brugada Pattern
Authors: Sarica Anil , Bor Serhat , Orman Mehmet , Barajas-Martinez Hector , Juang Jimmy , Antzelevitch Charles , Hasdemir Can
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most widely
recognized functional bowel disorders (FBDs) with a genetic component.
SCN5A gene and SCN1B loci have been identified in population-based IBS
cohorts and proposed to have a mechanistic role in the pathophysiology
of IBS. These same genes have been associated with Brugada syndrome
(BrS). The present study examines the hypothesis that these two
inherited syndromes are linked. Methods and Results: Prevalence of FBDs
over a 12 months period were compared between probands with
BrS/drug-induced type 1 Brugada pattern (DI-Type1 BrP) (n=148) and a
control group (n=124) matched for age, female sex, presence of
arrhythmia and co-morbid conditions. SCN5A/SCN1B genes were screened in
88 patients. Prevalence of IBS was 25% in patients with BrS/DI-Type1
BrP and 8.1% in the control group (p=2.34×10−4). On stepwise logistic
regression analysis, presence of current and/or history of migraine (OR
of 2.75; 95% CI: 1.08 to 6.98; p=0.033) was a predictor of underlying
BrS/DI-Type1 BrP among patients with FBDs. We identified 8 putative
SCN5A/SCN1B variants in 7 (12.3%) patients with BrS/DI-Type1 BrP and 1
(3.2%) patient in control group. Five out of 8 (62.5%) patients with
SCN5A/SCN1B variants had FBDs. Conclusion: IBS is a common co-morbidity
in patients with BrS/DI-Type1 BrP. Presence of current and/or history of
migraine is a predictor of underlying BrS/DI-Type1 BrP among patients
with FBDs. Frequent co-existence of IBS and BrS/DI-Type1 BrP
necessitates cautious use of certain drugs among the therapeutic options
for IBS that are known to exacerbate the Brugada phenotype.
Central Histaminergic Signaling, Neural Excitability and Epilepsy
Authors: Yang Lin , Wang Yi , Chen Zhong
Published: December 2020

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder characterized by repeated and
spontaneous epileptic seizures, which is not well controlled by current
medication. Traditional theory supports that epilepsy results from the
imbalance of excitatory glutamate neurons and inhibitory GABAergic
neurons. Recently, shreds of evidence from available clinical and
preclinical researches suggest that histamine in the central nervous
system plays an important role in the modulation of neural excitability
and pathogenesis of epilepsy. Many histamine receptor ligands show
positive response in animal epilepsy models, among which the H3R
antagonist pitolisant even has shown a good anti-epileptic effect in
clinical trials. New insights are focusing on the potential action of
histamine receptors to control and treat epilepsy. This review
summarizes the findings from animal and clinical researches on the role
of brain histamine and histamine receptor in epilepsy. Importantly, we
further provide perspectives on some possible research directions for
future studies.

Published: December 2020

Dialogue (discourse) is the main indication leading us to the conclusion that mediation is constructive. Discourse, the main form of dialogue, allows to achieve a positive result of mediation – an agreement between the participants of the conflict, as well as to learn dialogue communication skills. The aim of this study is to determine the types of dialogue used in mediation, the usage of recognized dialogue, and to find methods for assessing the dialogue (discourse) skills that need to be taught to the participants of the conflict, as well as future mediators and to evaluate the effectiveness of mediation. The research was conducted based on the theoretical methods of analysis of modern concept of dialogue and empirical testing methods (using questionnaires) of the participants of the conflicts and future mediators. Methods of mathematical statistics were used, when processing and analyzing the results of the questionnaires. As a result of this work, the types of dialogue used in mediation are identified, recommendations on the choice of components and barriers of dialogue to be considered by the mediator when training participants in the conflict and future mediators are made, as well as recommendations on assessment the effectiveness of mediation are offered.

The influence of the hydrogen injection timing on the internal combustion engine working cycle
Authors: Grujic Ivan , Doric Jovan , Abdullah Oday , Stojanovic Nadica , Davinic Aleksandar
Published: December 2020

From an ecological aspect, the hydrogen has all properties to be a very good fuel for internal combustion engines. However the high combustion speed, as well as the possibility of backfire, is inconvenient properties of port injection. In this paper, the influence of the injection timing on the internal combustion engine working cycle parameters (pressure and temperature) was investigated deeply. The investigation, of the injection timing influence on the internal combustion engine working cycle parameters, was performed numerically by application of ANSYS software. It was observed the geometry of the real engine with added pre chamber, in order of layer mixture formation and pressure damping, because of high combustion speed. The results are presented for four cases with different injection timing and the same spark timing. By earlier injection, the time for mixing rise as well as the possibility of homogenization and uniform mixture creation, in pre chamber and cylinder. This claim it is confirmed on the basis of obtaining pressure and pressure rise gradient, which are growing with earlier injection, because of hydrogen combustion characteristics in stoichiometric mixture. The higher pressures as well as the surface under the diagram are positive from the aspect of the engine efficiency. However, with the earlier injection, the values of the pressure rise gradient are higher than for the classic Diesel engine. This means that this phenomena can cause brutal engine work from the aspect of mechanical stresses. However the value of the maximum pressure is smaller than this in a Diesel engine, this is due to added pre chamber, which has decreased the compression ratio.
Thermodynamic model and kinetic compensation effect of oil sludge pyrolysis based on thermogravimetric analysis
Authors: Liu Hui , Xiang Chenglang , Mu Jie , Yao Jieyu , Ye Dong , Jin Kan , Lang Zhihui
Published: December 2020

Oil sludge is an organic solid waste in the petrochemical industry and improper treatment of oil sludge will cause environmental pollution. Pyrolysis is an effective way to realize its resource reuse. In order to understand the pyrolysis behavior and thermodynamic characteristics of oil sludge, four oil sludge samples from storage tanks were used as the research object, and pyrolysis experiments were carried out at heating rates of 5?, 10?, and 15? per minute under a nitrogen atmosphere. The kinetic parameters of pyrolysis of oil sludge are calculated by three equal conversion methods, Friedman method, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and Distributed activation energy model, and the most possible thermodynamic models for the main pyrolysis phase were analyzed and discussed by introducing the Malek method. The results show: high heating rate can promote the pyrolysis of oil sludge and in the pyrolysis stage, the apparent activation energy increases with the increase of the conversion rate. The apparent activation energy calculated by the Friedman method method is more reliable. The average apparent activation energies of the four oil sludge are 221.23, 84.71, 94.67, and 116.56 kJ/mol, respectively. The apparent activation energy and the pre-exponential factor are positively correlated, indicating that there is a kinetic compensation effect in the pyrolysis process. The thermodynamic models of the four oil sludge samples are all 3-D diffusion models, but their integral functions are different. The research results can provide theoretical support for the industrialization, harmlessness, and resource utilization of oil sludge pyrolysis.

The red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) has the widest global distribution among terrestrial carnivore species and is an important reservoir for a range of parasites. Investigations on parasitic fauna of red foxes have intensified in recent years in Serbia, resulting in the detection of some parasites that have not been recorded before. Within the Programme for the Control and Eradication of Rabies in Serbia, from January to March 2019, 52 legally hunted foxes were was established by standard methods, i.e. dissection followed by microscopic examination. Internal organs of the hunted animals were examined for the presence of parasites. Parasite identification was based on morphological characteristics. Parasites were found in 23 (44.23%) foxes. Eight species of parasites were established, among which, the nematode Molineus patens (Dujardin, 1845) was discovered in the small intestine of five foxes (9.61%). The intensity of M. patens infection varied from 17 to 43 parasites. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first record of M. patens in red foxes in Serbia and in the Western Balkans.

Electrical is used for various activities in all sectors. Rapid increase of electricity demand recently, makes it necessary to have an even more efficient method for generating electricity. Renewable energy and the microgrid provides an integrated and alternative solution for electricity generation. In microgrid systems, energy storage devices are one of important aspects. Batteries are one kind of the energy storage technologies widely used in power system and hence, their suitable capacity must be determined in order to develop an effective system installation. In this research, sizing optimization of battery capacity is modeled as a minimization of microgrid battery capacity using the Particle Swarm Optimization/PSO algorithm with considering islanding operation of the system for effective battery installation. Results show that optimal battery capacity can be obtained and the developed computational model gives satisfactory results for the system under study.

Abstract

 

A research about reservoir characterization with analysis of AVO (Amplitude Variation with Offset) and seismic inversion, to extract the petrophysics properties on the EP field South Sumatra Basin. This research was conducted to identify rock lithology and its spread, to see the sensitive parameters of physical properties of rocks. This research uses the 3D seismic data PSTM (Pre Stack Time Migration) as input control with data from the EP-036 well containing sonic log, density, gamma rays, neutron and resistivity log.  From the results of data analysis on the well log chart EP-036, reservoir target zones are at a depth of 714 to 722 m (TVD) or time domain 768 to 780 ms.  The results of the analysis AVO is able to detect the presence of reservoir gas sand, based on the classification of Rutherford and Williams (1989) the gas sand layer into AVO class III that indicates low impedance contrast sands. To analyze the results of well log data in the cross plot EP-036 indicates lithology is a hydrocarbon. It is also reinforced with cross plot analysis and seismic inversion results in the form of the parameter value ??, Vp/Vs and Acoustic impedance with low porosity averaging 22 to 35%, indicating that the zone is a zone reservoir potential gas sand.

This study proposed the creation of an algorithm for the elaboration of a midsole customized by functionalparameters and generative systems, with production through digital manufacturing. The computationalresources used are the Rhinoceros® program and the Grasshopper® extension. The primitives are given in a".asc" format for the plantar pressure distribution test; the position of the insole sensors (.jpeg); 3D geometryof the midsole parameterized from the outline of a common insole. The developed algorithm operates byconverting midsole geometry (brep) into point cloud complemented with a point cloud based on the positionof the sensors and the remapped values of maximum pressure into integer numbers. Voronoi 3D componentcell structure is generated by the overlapping point clouds. Based on the incorporation of an external algorithm,it was possible to obtain an open cell mesh structure. The digital manufacturing of the geometry was testedthrough three-dimensional printing similar to the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process in rigid lactic acid(PLA) and flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). It was observed in the model printed on flexible materialthat the increase in the density of cells in the regions of greater pressure contributes to the increase in localstiffness, which may imply the individualization of the functional requirements of footwear. Nine customizationpossibilities are presented by changing three different variables, related to the density of points of the basegeometry and the conversion of pressure values. The third variable was the thickness of the final structure as afunction of the volume scale and faces of the three-dimensional cells generated by the 3D Voronoi. It isconcluded that the import of real data from biomechanical testing for parametric modeling in Grasshopper®could contribute to the design of shoes individualized by the aesthetic and functional requirements of eachconsumer.

The number of cellular users (CU) continues to increase in Indonesia. This impacts a large network load for the number of devices connected to the main network so it will have an impact on the quality of service. Device-to-Device (D2D) communication as components for LTE-A technology enabling a direct wireless link between the CUs without routing the data via the evolved Node B (eNB) signal or the core network. The need for algorithm and power control used to allocate radio resources so it can get a good quality of service because of communications technology D2D. In this study, we analyze and compare the performance parameters of D2D communication systems, including system interference, system sum-rate, system spectral efficiency, total energy system, and system energy efficiency based on Genetic and Greedy Algorithms in allocating radio resources and controlling the power of users. The genetic algorithm works with three operators in allocating resource block (RB), including proportional selection, crossover, and mutation. This process is repeated many times to produce several generations so that the best allocation can be got. The genetic algorithm has a flexible number of D2D and cellular communications in several RBs, minimum signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) also considered for mobile communication in ensuring the quality of its services. Numerical evaluations demonstrate the superior performance of the Genetic Algorithm in terms of system power, energy efﬁciency, and interference mitigation. As repetition gets larger, the Genetic algorithm results in better spectral efficiency.

The negative impact of the digital environment on the health of young people necessitates the search for new methods of hygienic education. This study aimed to test and assess the hygienic qualities of the practice designed to give students and schoolchildren the skills allowing safe use of electronic devices. The study involved 256 students, 200 senior schoolchildren, 400 teachers and 251 parent. The hygienic education practice relied on the healthy lifestyle materials published in scientific literature, as well as materials posted on the Internet resources of medical organizations professionally engaged in the area considered, as well as their groups in the social networks Odnoklassniki, VKontakte, Facebook, Instagram, etc. We observed physical development of the schoolchildren and students dynamically and polled schoolchildren, students, teachers, and parents. For statistical processing of the results, we used methods of descriptive statistics, Student's t-test, correlation, discriminant and cluster analysis, and calculated risks. As the most popular source of information about health maintenance, Internet scored as follows: among schoolchildren — 79.0%, students — 88.6%, parents — 64.9%, teachers — 50.4%. The tested hygienic education practice allowed for a reduction of the number of schoolchildren and students who did not have the skills to safely use electronic devices to 20 and 25%, respectively. The practice also taught the participants to reduce their daily smartphone use time, engage in physical activity more often, which ultimately increased the share of children whose physical development was normal (p ≤ 0.01), and helped to increase the duration of night sleep. The tested methods of education are not costly; they can be replicated in other regions and organizations.
