Nantucket Pine Tip Moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Authors: Dixon Wayne N.
Published: June 2021

The Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock), is a serious pest of young pine in plantations, wild pine seedlings in open areas, Christmas tree plantings, ornamental pines, and pine seed orchards in the United States. Growth loss and stem deformity, caused by larvae feeding inside growing shoots, buds, and conelets, can be considerable during the first five years when most damage occurs (Yates et al. 1981). The increasing population of a preferred host species, loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.), in Florida poses an ever-increasing problem of Nantucket pine tip moth infestations. This document is EENY-304 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 298), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This study explored the influence of brackish water sediment, mangrove swamp sediment, clayey/lateritic soil, and river water (freshwater) sediment on the corrosion rates of carbon, mild, and stainless steels and the species of sulphate reducing bacteria (SRB) and iron bacteria associated with the process. The material loss following burial of the steel samples for a 9-month period was assessed. Standard and specialised microbiological techniques were employed in the characterisation of the bacterial species. Qualitative assessment for corrosion was done via optical microscopy and macroscopy. Corrosion was highest on steel buried in brackish water sediment and lowest in that from river water sediment. Carbon steel was the most susceptible to corrosion while stainless steel was the most resistant. Sulphite, sulphide, nitrate and phosphate concentrations had a strong impact on corrosion rates. Thiobacillus, Leptothrix and Gallionella dominated amongst the iron bacteria while Desulfobacter and Desulfovibrio dominated amongst the SRB. There were significant differences in corrosion rates and bacterial abundance from one environment to the other. Iron bacteria showed greater abundance than SRB across the different environments and steel types. Iron bacteria counts, however, did not correlate positively with corrosion rates. The findings suggest that oil industry facilities in brackish water environments are more liable to corrosion than those located in fresh water ecosystems.
O declínio da supremacia do interesse público sobre o particular com a constitucionalização do direito administrativo
Authors: Fernandez Gomes Karla
Published: June 2021

Este trabalho analisou o princípio da supremacia do interesse público sobre o particular em face da constitucionalização do direito administrativo, buscando verificar a viabilidade da regra de prevalência que ele enuncia no contexto do Estado Democrático de Direito. Assim, para a compreensão da problemática, foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica, em livros e artigos que versam acerca do tema de maneira direta ou indireta. Ao final, concluiu-se que o ambiente democrático acarreta uma postura ativa do Estado na harmonização dos interesses da sociedade, o que enseja a aplicação do postulado da proporcionalidade. Logo, a ideia de supremacia de interesse público sobre o particular é incompatível com a democracia, bem como com a dignidade humana, fundamento da República Federativa do Brasil. Isso porque a positivação dos direitos e garantias fundamentais na Constituição não apenas implica limitação estatal no que tange ao dever de não os infringir e os salvaguardar mas também lança para o Estado o dever de efetivação desses valores, o que transmuda a antiga compreensão de interesse público.

Background: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene (NAP) are organic pollutants that have spread widely in littoral marine ecosystems. We aimed to study the effect of acute and prolonged exposure to naphthalene (NAP) on plasma cortisol and thyroid levels in mature and immature Liza klunzingeri mulet. Methods: In acute stress experiment, the treatment group received 2μl g-1 sunflower oil containing NAP (50 mg kg-1) intraperitoneally and the controls were injected with sunflower oil alone (2μl g-1). Blood samples were obtained from both groups after 3 h. In prolonged stress experiment, 10 μl g-1 of coconut oil containing NAP (50mg kg-1) was implanted and blood samples were obtained 72 h after injection. Results: Both the acute and prolonged exposure induced significant increase in cortisol and a significant decrease (P<0.05) in thyroid hormone T4 levels. Thyroid T3 hormone levels only decreased significantly (P<0.05) after prolonged exposure. Acute exposure resulted in significant decrease (P<0.05) in T3/T4 ratio only in immature fish. On the other hand, prolonged stress increased T3/T4 ratio in immature fish. Conclusion: Changes in the plasma levels of these hormones indicate low physiological capacity and survival potential of fish in waters polluted with naphthalene.

Published: June 2021

Background: Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutagenic and carcinogenic compound mainly produced by the Aspergillus parasiticus, A. flavus, A. nomius, A. tamari, and A. pseudotamarii. AFB1 biodegradation is the most important strategy for reducing AFB1 in plant tissues. Bacteria can deactivate and biodegrade AFB1 for effective detoxification of contaminated products. The present study investigated the efficiency of AFB1 degradation by soil bacteria from the Southern Khorasan Province in Eastern Iran by thin-layer and high-performance liquid chromatography during 2014–2015. Methods: DNA was extracted from AFB1-degrading isolates by the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide method and the 16S rRNA gene was amplified with the 27f and 1492r general bacterial primers and the sequences were used to identify the isolates based on their similarity to Gene Bank sequences of known bacterial species. Results: We isolated five strains from four species of AFB1-degrading bacteria from Birjand plain, including Bacillus pumilus, two isolates of Ochrobactrum pseudogrigonens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter cloace, which had AFB1-degrading activities of 88%, 78%, 61%, 58%, and 51%, respectively. Conclusion: We provide the first demonstration of AFB1 degradation by B. pumilus in from Iran and the first report identifying O. pseudogrigonens and E. cloace species as having AFB1-degrading activity.

Background: Ethinylestradiol (EE) has induced cholestasis and hepatotoxicity in animal studies through reducing bile acid uptake by hepatocytes and induce of oxidative stress. Pentoxifylline (PTX) is a drug that by inhibition of release or transcription of proinflammatory cytokine cause prevents oxidative stress of liver cell and reduction of damage. We aimed to evaluate the effects of pentoxifylline on liver injury induced by Ethinylestradiol in rats. Methods: Twenty-four female Wistar rats (300±20 gr) were divided into four groups, equally. Duration of treatment was 5 consecutive days for each group. The control group Simultaneously received orally and subcutaneously normal saline. PTX group Simultaneously received Pentoxifylline orally and normal saline subcutaneously, EE Group Simultaneously received EE subcutaneously and normal saline orally. In the EE+PTX group, rats Simultaneously received EE subcutaneously and PTX orally. Rats were anesthetized and blood and tissue samples were collected for measurement of hematological and biochemical parameters. Results: The EE administration increased the serum levels of ALP and MDA significantly. The EE administration also decreased albumin and GPX levels were significant. These aberrations were improved by PTX treatment in EE + PTX group. Most of hematological parameters were not significant by the EE. The plasma level of TNF- in the PTX+ES treated group showed a significant decrease in comparison to that in the ethinyl estradiol group. Conclusion: PTX has partial capacity to protect against liver changes induced by Ethinyl Estradiol.

Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical blistering warfare that affects different organs especially hematopoietic system. Prevalence of acute myeloblastic and lymphoblastic leukemia is increased by sulfur mustard exposure. FLT3-ITD mutation can be effective on leukemogenesis. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify the frequency of FLT3-ITD mutation in the patients who exposed to SM. Methods: This study was implemented on 42 people poisoned by SM during Iraq-Iran war about three decades ago and is now resident in Mashhad, Iran. The control group included 30 healthy males that are relatives of the patients with first-degree. After DNA extraction, PCR was performed for FLT3-ITD analysis. Results: By analysis of PCR products, no FLT3-ITD mutation was detected in the patient or control groups. There was no significant difference in hematological factors between the two groups. Conclusion: Other mechanisms can lead to leukemia in SM exposed persons. Elapsed time after exposure to sulfur mustard can be effective on leukemogenesis, then future more study may be beneficial for early diagnosis of leukemia in SM exposed veterans.

Rawapening has an area of 2,667 acres, which now ceases to exist. This natural reservoir serves to preserve water, control flood, generate electric turbine, and raw water resource. The depth of this lake decreases 42 cm annually, with the shallowing could cause flooding of the lakeside and and reducing the water supply. This study finds the additional amount of structure and dimension of sabo dam to prevent hazards at each river: at Panjang 2 (B=20m H=2m, and B=25m H=2,5 m), at Galeh 2 (each of B=8m H=2,4m), at Legi 2 (B=10m H=2m, and B=25m and H=2,5m), at Parat 1 (B=13m H=2,7m), at upstream Sraten 1 (B=15m H=2,7m), at downstream Sraten 1 (B=15m H=2,7m), and at Kedungringgis 1 (B=12m H=1,8m). Existing materials are fine and rough sand. Using WaTEM/SEDEM, saboplan guideline by processing the designed capacity, it is estimated that each riverâ€™s potential annual yield (in tonnes): Panjang 86.221,8, Galeh/Torong 45.138,24, Legi 42.404,04, Parat 28.579,32, Sraten 25.988,76, and Kedung Ringis 6.955,2. Overall, sabo dam is designed to be a closed type dam located in inlet rivers of Rawapening. Sabo dam construction holds 25% of potential sediment. Collectively, it adds a control volume of 2.885 m3, from 11.539 m3 to become approximately to become 14.424 m3. To cope with sedimentation in Rawapening, the structural approachment (sabodam) should be combined with non structural approachment such as restoring land use in the upstream area for more optimal sedimentation control.Keywords: Sedimentation, rawapening, erosion, WaTEM/SEDEM

Published: June 2021

Floods around the Bendung River in Palembang City have caused material and non-material losses. One of the reasons was the decreasing river capacity and backwater during the Musi River flood season, which is the Bendung River's outlet. This paper discusses the impact of adding a pump system to reduce flood impact. 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional numerical model using MIKE 11 and MIKE FLOOD were made to analyze the best measures. Various alternative scenarios were implemented in the model. Based on the modeling results, using the most optimal alternative, alternative 4 with 6 pumps of 36 m3/s and normalization of the Bendung River channel by 1 meter. The inundation area was reduced by 0.74 km2. Also, the maximum inundation height for the flood decreased by 0.6 meters, and the inundation duration was reduced by 8.5 hours. These modeling results can be a reference for managers and policymakers in managing flood events.Keywords: River channel normalization, pump system, numerical model, flood control, Bendung river

Published: June 2021

У статті досліджено тенденції інвестиційної підтримки та модернізації підприємств інфраструктурної сфери. Аналіз масштабів інвестування в модернізацію транспортних підприємств показав низьку активність щодо інноваційного оновлення. До основних умов інноваційно-інвестиційної підтримки модернізації підприємств інфраструктурної сфери віднесено: непослідовність технологічної структуризації; соціальні диспропорції між доходами в державному і приватному секторах, окремих галузях; реформування державного сектору економіки за рахунок іноземного фінансування; запровадження електронного інституційного регулювання; високі податкові ставки; регіонально-територіальна реформа. Основними векторами для модернізації інфраструктурної сфери є міжнародна інтеграція та нарощування відповідної конкурентоспроможності.

Проведено дослідження теоретичних аспектів оцінки конкурентоспроможності працівників. Об'єктом даного дослідження є оцінка конкурентоспроможності працівників та систематизація можливостей оцінювання конкурентоспроможності працівників. Метою статті є узагальнення факторів, що впливають на конкурентоспроможність працівників. Методи дослідження - порівняльний аналіз та синтез наукової літератури, логічне узагальнення. Визначено, що більшість організацій використовують лише якісні методи оцінки, і найбільшою перешкодою для правильної оцінки конкурентоспроможності працівника є суб’єктивність (на оцінювача можуть впливати стереотипи, упередження, попередні результати роботи). Встановлено, що співробітника найбільше мотивують внутрішні фактори, такі як цінності, очікування, потреби розвиватися, досягати кар’єрних висот, бути фахівцем у своїй галузі, а організація та держава повинні мотивувати та створювати для цього всі можливості.

Розкрито сутність функціонування фінансового моніторингу. Визначено основні об’єкти фінансового моніторингу пов’язані з відповідними учасниками фінансових операцій, які їх проводять. Проаналізовано сучасний стан, тенденції функціонування фінансового моніторингу, методи фінансового моніторингу з метою визначення операцій з найвищим ризиком відмивання злочинних доходів та детальною їх перевіркою. Проблемою забезпечення законності в галузі фінансів є створення такого контрольного механізму, який міг би поєднувати прагнення держави до прозорості бізнесу з цілком виправданим бажанням останнього зберегти комерційну та банківську таємницю, яка є гарантією його стабільності в умовах конкуренції. У результаті розвиток структури, основним завданням якої є закрита аналітична робота з моніторингу фінансових потоків, а головною метою яких є протидія відмиванню «брудних грошей» і орієнтування правоохоронних органів на припинення злочинної економічної діяльності.
УПРАВЛІННЯ ВИРОБНИЦТВОМ АГРАРНОЇ ПРОДУКЦІЇ: СТАН І ТЕНДЕНЦІЇ РОЗВИТКУ
Authors: Шульський Микола , Смолинець Ігор
Published: June 2021

У статті проведено дослідження стану і тенденції розвитку управління виробництвом агарної продукції господарськими формуваннями Львівщини. В основу досліджень покладено матеріали статистичних органів, в яких відображено основні показники сільськогосподарського виробництва. При цьому особливу увагу сконцентровано на показниках виробництва аграрної продукції як у грошовій, так і в натуральних формах оцінки. Дослідження проведено від загального до конкретного. Загальні показники виробництва сільськогосподарської продукції господарськими аграрними формами господарювання представлені у грошовій формі. Для цього використано діючі постійні ціни на продукцію сільського господарства, що діяли у 2016 р. Такий підхід обумовлений тим, щоб уникнути негативного впливу цінового фактору на обсяги виробництва продукції. Цей методичний підхід дозволив об’єктивного оцінити обсяги виробництва аграрної продукції на протязі 2010-2019 рр. як у загальних виразах, так і в розрізі окремих галузях. При цьому дослідженнями встановлено, що в структурі продукції сільського господарства більшу питому вагу складає продукція рослинництва, ніж тваринництва. І це є характерним як для аграрних підприємств (крупні форми господарювання), так і для дрібних господарств (господарства населення). При цьому характерним є те, що хоча підприємства збільшують обсяги виробництва продукції швидшими темпами, однак вони ще не досягли і не перевершили обсягів продукування продукції господарствами населення. Статистичні органи Львівщини значну увагу приділили показникам виробництва аграрної продукції в натуральній оцінці, починаючи з 1990 і закінчуючи 2019 р. Ця інформація є цінна для наших досліджень тим, що дозволяє оцінити виробництво продукції аграрними формуваннями у дореформений і післяреформений періоди. При цьому виробництво продукції рослинництва має тверду тенденцію до зростання, за виключенням цукрового буряка. Виробництво тваринницької продукції має чіткіше виражену строкатість. При цьому позитивними наслідками характеризується виробництво продукції птахівництва як підприємствами, так і господарствами населення.

FEATURES OF «NEW COURSE» OF PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT: POSSIBILITIES OF APPLICATION OF ECONOMIC REFORMS FOR UKRAINE
Authors: Oliinyk Larysa
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to defining the features of Roosevelt's "New Deal", expediency of applying the American experience in modern Ukrainian realities. In the 1930s, after significant economic growth, the United States found itself in one of the most famous economic crises in world history. There was significant decline in production, inflation, mass unemployment, collapse of securities market and banking system. In order to achieve a pre-crisis stage of development, decisive actions aimed at the economic revival of the country were urgently needed. New president F. Roosevelt proposed and implemented such measures. His course to improve the situation included a set of reforms directed at rebuilding various sectors of national economics. Roosevelt's policy was primarily based on the idea of need for state regulation of economy. The viability and strength of any system are depended from number of connections among its components. That was laid by Roosevelt in basis for further gradual development of American economics. Roosevelt's practical measures were often based on analytical justification. The president in his own actions adhered to the principle of Machiavelli: most difficult decisions in emergencies should be implemented quickly. He realized that development of infrastructure in a broad sense is a necessary step for further growth. The president supported his own projects with social programs for the benefit of ordinary Americans and with job creation. During formation of New Deal policy, Roosevelt used Christian principle - attempt that government was not a mechanical device, but became embodiment of human mercy. Totally, recessions time to time cover the world economy, causing falling production volumes, mass unemployment, and financial insolvency of powerful banking structures. Many experts are in search of a way out of crisis situations turn to study of the experience of socio-economic policy of Roosevelt. Thus, today the research of necessity of state intervention in economic processes by means of extension of public investment, realization of wellness reforms in various sectors of economics for stimulation of national development are actual issue.
The Impact of the Global Economic Meltdown on the Manufacturing Sector in Nigeria (2005 – 2009)
Authors: Olasoji Akinbayo
Published: June 2021

As several opinions and suggestions were made on the effect of the global economic meltdown on the Nigerian economy, however, few of these studies explored the impact of the crisis on the manufacturing sector of the economy. In this study, the effort is to provide empirical evidence of the impact on the sector. To achieve this, cross-sectional and time-series data were randomly collected from thirty-one (31) quoted firms across different sectors of the manufacturing sector and for a period of five years (2005-2009). A panel model analysis was employed as the estimating technique; it was considered as the most appropriate for the study. The objectives stated in the study were achieved, as the empirical findings revealed that the global economic meltdown had an impact on the Nigerian manufacturing sector.

These and others, if carefully implemented, the manufacturing sector will be able to yield a positive result, possible as the driver of the economy by creating wealth, employment generation and economic prosperity.

Managing social inequality risk in Lagos State: The role of zakat NGOs

Published: June 2021

Several socio-economic policies initiated by various governments in Nigeria have failed to curb the evil effects of social inequality risks (SIR). Lagos State being the country's commercial capital city, is worse hit by virtue of its huge population. Zakat, the third pillar of Islam, is ordained to bridge this gap that SIR creates by redistributing income among the citizenry. This study is intended to explore how zakat institutions have been effective in complementing Government's initiatives at combating social inequality risks in Lagos-Nigeria. The study utilized data gathered from 500 middle-class respondents randomly selected in Lagos's middle-class location via an online survey channel by identifying five SIR dimensions. The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25, while descriptive and Multiple Regression analysis were used as tools for the data analysis. Findings suggest that SIR is still endemic in the study area which mirrored the near ineffectiveness of zakat institutions. In addition, the available zakat institutions were found to be ineffective and overwhelmed to meet the demands of their patrons. Also, zakat institutions were found to be beset by inaccessibility and dwindling resources. It is suggested that the Government utilize the zakat institutions to reach the grassroots for a more significant impact on reducing the SIR incidences.
