The Free Economic Zone of the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol
Authors: Gromova Elizaveta
Published: August 2018

Free economic zones have become an essential part of the world economy in recent history. The voluntary entry of the Peninsula of Crimea into the Russian Federation as one of its constituent regions, lead to the adoption of the social and economic development commitments of this region by our state. For this reason, one of the most important goals for authorities of the Russian Federation is to develop the social, economic, and other spheres of the society. The establishment of the free economic zone in the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol became one of solutions to this problem. This article analyzes the issues of legislation on the free economic zone in the territories of the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol and aims to find solutions of these issues. This research is based on the application of comparative, retrospective and formal juridical analysis of the legislation and research papers dedicated to questions of the free economic zones and other territories with a special legal regime for conducting entrepreneurial activity (territories of advanced social and economic development, the Free Port of Vladivostok, special economic zones in the Russian Federation). In particular, the norms of current legislation on goals and terms of creation of the free economic zone in the territories of the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol, the management of the free economic zone and the implementation of entrepreneurial activities within its borders were analyzed. We conclude that it is necessary to improve the current legislation on the free economic zone in the territory of the Republic of Crimea and makes several suggestions for optimization its provisions. The results achieved can be used both in the lawmaking process and as a foundation for further researches.
Political Integration in Practice: Explaining a Time-Dependent Increase in Political Knowledge among Immigrants in Sweden
Authors: Adman Per , Strömblad Per
Published: August 2018

Scholarly findings suggest that immigrants in Western countries, in general, participate less in politics and show lower levels of political efficacy than native-born citizens. Research is scarce, however, when it comes to immigrants’ knowledge about politics and public affairs in their new home country, and what happens with this knowledge over the years. This article focuses on immigrants in Sweden, a country known for ambitious multicultural policies, but where immigrants also face disadvantages in areas such as labor and housing markets. Utilizing particularly suitable survey data we find that immigrants, in general, know less about Swedish politics than natives, but also that this difference disappears with time. Exploring the influence of time of residence on political knowledge, the article shows that the positive effect of time in Sweden among immigrants remains after controlling for an extensive set of background factors. Moreover, the article examines this political learning effect through the lens of an Ability–Motivation–Opportunity (AMO) model. The findings suggest that the development of an actual ability to learn about Swedish politics—via education in Sweden, and by improved Swedish language skills—is an especially important explanation for the increase in political knowledge.
Fixed Narratives and Entangled Categorizations: Educational Problematizations in Times of Politicized and Stratified Migration
Authors: Horvath Kenneth
Published: August 2018

Western European migration and citizenship regimes have undergone profound transformations over the past decades. The massive politicization and stratification of migration are key features of these dynamics. Focusing on the case of Germany, this article investigates how these developments affect logics of educational practice. It is argued that teachers, faced with increasingly complex and uncertain situations, systematically draw on categories that combine political and educational logics. These “entangled categories” do hardly allow to unravel the complex configurations currently at stake at the intersection of migration and education. A secondary analysis of TIMSS-2015 data is performed to substantiate the article’s core hypothesis: these forms of categorization have crystallized into patterns of educational problematization that couple perceptions of educational challenges, professional self-images, and didactic approaches. These fixed narratives disproportionally affect migrant children from underprivileged social backgrounds. They hence have important implications both for our understanding of educational inequalities in times of politicized and stratified migration and for furthering professional reflexivity.

Published: August 2018

The acute toxic effect of the aqueous extract of Pistacia atlantica green seeds was investigated in groups of Sprague-Dawley rats at oral doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg body weight. After 14 days, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) in behavior, food and water consumption, body weight gain, and hematological and serum biochemical parameters between untreated control and extract-treated rats. There were lesions in the liver and kidney indicating that aqueous P. atlantica seed extract causes some hepatoxicity and nephrotoxicity in rats.

Authors: Abdullah Hasti , Mahdi Mahmoud , Ibrahim Hekmat
Published: August 2018

It is impractical to monitor water quality more than a small fraction of lakes by conventional field methods because of expense and time requirements. Satellite image is more convenient to be applied to collect the required data for monitoring and assessing water quality in the lakes. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the concentration of some water quality parameters (Temperature, DO, BOD, pH, Turbidity, TSS, TDS, EC, NO3, PO4 and E. coli) by applying developed models based on the remote sensing and GIS techniques on the Landsat 8 OLI satellite image using twenty points in Dokan lake, Kurdistan Region, Iraq at two different seasons. Multiple linear regression is used to obtain mathematical models for estimating the concentration of some water quality parameters depending on spectral reflectance of Landsat 8 OLI. In this study, new band (coastal blue) of Landsat 8 OLI has beenundertaken in developing of models. Moreover, new Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and new 7 band ratios with 16 band combinations have been used. The best models are obtained for TSS, Turbidity and DO with coefficient of determination (R2 ) of 0.98, 0.98, and 0.83 respectively. Generally, for spring season, the performance of all models is reduced due to seasonal change, variance of parameters and other factors. However, high R2 of 0.86 has been shown for Temperature. The results of the developed WQPs models have been mapped to show the water quality parameters concentration distribution within Dokan lake. The conclusions present that correlation of all bands of Landsat 8 OLI is appropriate to water quality parameters.

Media campaigns are generally used to deliver health messages to high number of populations through various types of Media. The Media is used in all aspects of public issues with the expectation of three influences; providing exact health information and relevant data, health behaviours and its value changes, and building new healthier behaviours. This study focused on the outcomes of massive Media campaigns and their effects on different hazardous oral.

Aims of the Study Were: to determine the level of awareness and knowledge of people about oral health, evaluate the role of Media on oral health behaviours and promotion, and assessment of the peoples` practice towards oral health awareness.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was applied on 1223 Students from different classes at Kurdistan Region universities who were interviewed by well-trained researchers. A questionnaire was used which included information about demographic distribution; source of health information; awareness about Media campaigns regarding health programs. Statistical package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 19.0) was used to present the analysis.

Results: Fifty two point nine percent (N= 893) of the students used internet particularly as the most common source of getting oral health information (P ≤ 0.05), highest percentage of the students 54.8% (N=670) reported to have knowledge on oral health Media campaigns.

Conclusion: The study revealed that social media had an important role in changing oral health behaviours among the studied sample. Oral hygiene practices of the sample noticed to be higher compared to similar age groups in the neighbouring countries.
Ketone bodies production and utilization by the two breast cancer compartments/ An immunohistoche-mical study in Kurdistan region-Iraq
Authors: Yasseen Hadeel , Sahib Rawand , Ezzaddin Shahow
Published: August 2018

Background Because of the close relationship between the cancer cells and cancer associated fibroblasts, it is increasingly clear that the development of cancer cannot be dissociated from its local microenvironment. Many previous researches were done to prove the role of cancer associated fibroblasts in fueling the cancer epithelial cells with ATP and lactic acid. Objective This study was designed to clarify the role of cancer associated fibroblasts in feeding the breast cancer epithelial cells with ketone bodies and indirectly to anticipate the efficacy of ketogenic diet in breast cancer patients. Materials and methods Forty selected cases of invasive breast carcinoma not otherwise specified (NOS) with a mean age of 47.83 ± 12.04 were included in this study and immunohistochemically stained with two mitochondrial enzymes antibodies: HMGCS2 and ACAT1; that play important roles in synthesis of the primary ketone body; acetoacetate and in ketone breakdown (ketolysis) during the fat processing respectively. Result Our result showed that both cell compartments harbor the enzymes needed for ketone bodies production and utilization. Cancer epithelial cells contain HMGCS2 and ACAT1 in 97.5% and 87.5% respectively. While cancer associated fibroblasts contain HMGCS2 and ACAT1 in 95% and 67.5% respectively. Conclusion both compartments can efficiently produce and utilize the ketone bodies, so indirectly we can say that ketogenic diet may have limited role in breast cancer management.

Adhesion formation is a major source of the postoperative threaten the life of the animals. The purpose of the investigation is the effect of autologous graft by using the omentum to reduce and prevention of adhesion throughout hysterotomy in rabbits. Study was applied on 20 local breed rabbits that divided randomly into 2 groups of 10 animals each. Aseptic surgical laparotomy and hysterotomy done for all rabbits, and the omentum were used in treatment group. Postmortem and microscopic examination showed the presence of mild to severe adhesion in control group. At the 14th postoperative days, the degrees of adhesions were graded as: grade (1) in two rabbits, and (2) in the remaining two rabbits. Also at 28th post operative days, different adhesions formed and were graded as: grade (1) in two rabbits, grade 1 and 3 in one rabbit each. Conversely, in treatment group, at 14th postoperative day, 4 rabbits shown adhesion grade (2) in each 2 rabbits. While at 28th postoperative day, grade 1 adhesion was found in 3 rabbits that exhibiting moderate band of adhesion. The results of 2 run time referred that adhesion extension increased in control group with the time. The average p- value for adhesion of extension in all rabbits of treatment group was 1.50±0.577 and 1.25±0.500 at day 14th and 28th respectively. Histological examination revealed significantly high score of fibrosis with infiltration of inflammatory cells especially in control group, with slightly infiltration of inflammatory cells within muscular and serosal layers in treatment group. In conclusion, we confirmed that the using of autologous graft especially the omentum leads to somewhat reduction and prevention of adhesion during postoperative hysterotomy in rabbit model.

Published: August 2018

There are many physical, chemical and biological agents either naturally present or produced by human activity that can be hazardous for human health. Environmental pollution in and around Sulaymaniyah city is caused by several factors including untreated wastewater, contaminated agricultural fields, untreated solid waste, industrial waste and contamination of Tanjaro River and Darbandikhan Lake from these sources of pollution. Populations, especially those living closer to the above-mentioned pollution sources are at risk of both short and long-term effects of biological, physical and chemical contaminants, especially south of the city and around Tanjaro River and Darbandikhan Lake. Neglecting these problems means that buildup of contaminants in the environment and endangering population health will continue. Monitoring and responding to environmental health hazards requires collaborative efforts of relevant departments, professional institutions, NGOs, community-based organizations and affected populations. To reduce risk of water-borne diseases is strengthening water management in relation to maintaining quality while the ultimate solution to wastewater pollution is establishment of sewerage treatment plants. Solid waste is a major problem and the ultimate solution is recycling and the establishment of a controlled landfill in an area. Immediate measures need to be taken to prevent further pollution of the Tanjaro River, by isolating the polluting sources. Industrial activities need to be regulated and monitored in terms of environmental and occupational safety operations and standards. Using Sulaymaniyah wastewater for farming must be prohibited by law and enforced. Protection of Darbandikhan Lake from major sources of pollution should be made a higher priority and measures should be taken as soon as possible to isolate and minimize major pollutants. There is also a need for extensive research and the establishment of sustained research systems on population health and environmental pollutants, especially in relation to the food chain, and the Tanjaro River, Darbandikhan Lake and air pollution. If urgent consideration is not given to the above areas and problems, the situation may get considerably worse in the coming years.

In this term, the studying of power flow analysis is done using Newton-Raphson (NR) method, and it appeared that the voltage at most nodes are below the allowable limits (0.9-1.1) P.U, therefore UPFC placed in the network, which is consider the forceful device in Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) members, to improve the voltage profile, control power flow and minimize real and reactive power flow.
High throughput Phenotypic Microarray profiling of Mycobacterium abscessus
Authors: Ameen Sirwan
Published: August 2018

Mycobacterium abscessus group comprises of five species of rapidly growing mycobacteria. These mycobacteria are increasingly responsible for difficult-to treat, opportunistic cutaneous and respiratory tract infections, notably in cyctic fibrosis patients. Identification at the species level remains problematic and is relying on nucleotide sequence analyses, leaving a need for routine, phenotypic identification of such isolates. Here, the carbon and peptide nitrogen source utilization patterns of Mycobacterium abscessus complex  mycobacteria was investigated using Biolog phenotype MicroArray analysis based on tetrazolium dye reduction. In a first step, a data base was built after duplicate investigation of Mycobacterium abscessus, Mycobacterium bolletii, Mycobacterium massiliense, Mycobacterium chelonae and Mycobacterium franklinii type strains. In this study, 190 carbon sources were tested; 77 (40.5%), 77 (40.5%), 77 (40.5%), 76 (40%) and 37 (19.5%) were found to be utilized by type strains of M. abscessus, M. bollettii, M. massiliense, M. chelonae and M. franklinii. Of 285 peptide nitrogen sources, they were found able to utilize 217 (76 %), 216 (75.7 %), 209 (73. 3 %), 194 (68 %) and 24 (8.4 %) nitrogen substrates, respectively. Each species yielded one specific profile, thus allowing for their unambiguous phenotypic identification at the species level. In a second step, a collection of M. abscessus, M. bolletii, M. massiliense and M. chelonae was tested to assess the usefulness of the Biolog for identification. We observed that all then identical strains were correctly identified at the species level.
Trace metal status and the Impact of occupational exposure on the Serum metal content of the Laboratories staff
Authors: Tofiq Diary
Published: August 2018

Exposure to trace metals through various sources is likely to be somewhat higher in the work place than in the external environment. Recently there has been growing interest in the problem of the health and occupational disease risks that associated with protecting workers from unsafe working conditions. However, the health risks of chemicals and exposure to the trace metals in Sulaimani city scientific laboratories has not received much attention from scientist. This study aimed to compare the trace metals (Pb, Cu, Ni, Fe, Zn, Cr, Mn) concentrations of the serum sample for the 25 exposed laboratory staff members of chemistry department, with 25 unexposed individuals consisted of healthy office employees and to assess the impact of occupational exposure on serum heavy and trace metal concentration. The serum samples were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The results revealed that all exposed participant had elevated level of some trace and heavy metals. The statistical analysis shows a significant difference between the mean of serum metal concentrations of exposed staff and non-exposed control. Serum lead, copper, Nickel, Iron and Zinc concentrations of exposed staff were significantly higher compared with unexposed controls (P < 0.05), while chromium concentrations were significantly lower (P< 0.05). Moreover, Manganese serum concentrations remained unaltered. Regression results of the Lead (Pb) concentration indicate that the elevation of (Pb) serum content according to other parameters show a statistically significant effect for exposing time and using PPE parameters.
Innovative Cloud-based Snooping Detection model in both Public and Private Infrastructure
Authors: Khalee Mustafa
Published: August 2018

Network access technologies, including Wi-Fi and 4G LTE, are becoming more and more popular in Cloud computing infrastructure due to their increased performance, reliabilities, and ease of development. Cloud consumers can collect and process real time and continuous sets of massive assets. The large data size and security concerns have resulted in an ever-increasing need for efficient paradigm concept to integrate the functionalities of data monitor, analysis and anomalous traffic behavior detection. The procedure of intercepting traffics assigned by Cloud consumers and passing through Cloud scheduler to the Cloud infrastructure data centers has been known as wireless packet sniffer. This could capture the entire packets and analyze the contents in both Private Cloud Network (PrCN) and Public Cloud Network (PuCN) in the RFMON (Radio Frequency MONitor) mode. After buffering the entire Cloud consumer’s images in the Cloud scheduler, further interpretation of the packets can be carried out to distinguish malicious from beneficial packets. We designed and developed an intrusion detection model, namely Cloud Snooping Disclosure (CSD) to monitor the Cloud consumer’s image traffic loads, detect the anomalous traffic behaviors, and block the malicious intrusion. Our heuristic is based on two major steps, Forward and Backward scanning process. The step includes the initialization process and installing the security parameters for both sides, Cloud users and Cloud scheduler, while the second one relates to capturing anomalous inter-VM traffics. Furthermore, our algorithm incorporates pcap library into Cloud scheduler so that any incongruous traffic behaviors can be reported and saved. Our system was inspired by some existing researches that applied sniffer software such as Ethereal, Tcpdump, and Snort. The simulation results indicate that the effectiveness of our heuristic had the ability to detect and eliminate approximately 107 anomalous traffic behaviors from five case trials that have been generated by CloudSim framework.
Calcareous nannofossil stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous–lower Paleocene sequence from the Dokan section, Sulaimani, Kurdistan- Iraq
Authors: Kharajiany Soran , Wise, Jr. Sherwood , Al-Qayim Basim
Published: August 2018

The boundary of the Cretaceous/Tertiary in the Kurdistan region of Iraq is still under debate. Most previous studies consider the Danian sediments to be absent. This paper examines theboundary in the Dokan area northwest of the Sulaimani city of Kurdistan in northern Iraq. This research analyzes calcareous nannofossil assemblages and the biostratigraphy of theboundary. The sequence in the study section is characterized by alternations of olive green to greenish gray sandstone, siltstone, shale and marlstone of the Tanjero Formation of the lateCampanian- Maastrichtian and the overlying Kolosh Formation of the early Paleocene. The upper part of the section includes thick sandstone beds and a reworked bioclasticconglomerate bed in addition to a dark- grey, silty calcareous shale. The study shows that deposition across the boundary is continuous. The boundary is biostratigraphically delineatedby the last occurrence of Maastrichtian taxon and the first occurrences of Biantholithus sparsus, Cruciplacolithus spp. and Coccolithus pelagicus of biozone NP1, which indicate nohiatus. This succession highlights the occurrence of the early Danian sequence at the bottom of the Kolosh Formation.
New Ideas and Critical review of Middle Eocene Gercus Formation, Kurdistan Region, NE-Iraq
Authors: Karim Kamal , Baziany Mushir
Published: August 2018

In Iraq, Gercus Formation (Middle Eocene) crops out now near boundary between Low and High Folded Zone and generally consisted of red claystone and sandstone with occasionalbeds of conglomerate. Lithologically, it changes toward the southwest to carbonatesiliclastics of either Khurmala or Aliji Formations inside the Low Folded Zone. All previous studies have concluded that the environment of the formation was fluvial and deltaic of continental mollasse facies with possible some shallow marine sediments at its lower part. Conversely, the most recent two studies have assigned two different, opposite environments of the formation, which are deep marine (turbidite facies), and desert environments. The aim of the present study is critical and objective analysis of the previous studies in addition to introduction of new ideas that are opposite to deep marine and aeolian environments. The study gives many evidences and features for justification of the introduced new ideas, which are revealing the actual environment of the formation. This reveal is depended on the field and regional correlation in areas of boundary between High and Low Folded Zone (area of exposure of Gercus Formation) and area of Imbricated and Thrust Zone where its equivalent in age and facies (unit five of Red Bed Series) is exposed. The present study supports neither the deep marine turbidite nor the desert erg system of the previous studies. The present study proves that the Gercus Formation consists of the distal alluvial fan and its proximal part is unit five of Red Bed.

Published: August 2018

The number of patients with nosocomial post-cesarean endometritis is steadily growing. Aim: to study the etiology of nosocomial post-cesarean endometritis and to propose a rationalized antimicrobial therapy. Material and methods. Sixty six puerperas with post-cesarean endometritis were examined. The spectrum of microflora and its resistance to antimicrobial agents were determined using an automatic microbiological analyzer based on mass spectrometry. Results. Enterococci, E. coli, staphylococci and streptococci were the most clinically significant pathogens found in the examined patients with post-cesarean endometritis. The microflora spectrum in the endometrium reflected the previous «antibacterial history»; this association must be taken into account when developing antibacterial therapy. Conclusion. If the new mother was previously treated with antibacterial agents, it is recommended to use a combination of the reserve antibiotics in order to block the entire spectrum of possible multidrug-resistant pathogens. In cases of the resistant Gram-positive microflora (MRSE, MRSA, E. faecium), it is advisable to prescribe vancomycin. For the resistant Gram-negative microflora (Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., E. coli-ESBL+ and Klebsiella spp.-ESBL+), vancomycin should be combined with carbapenems.

Violência, estética e educação: o caso do jovem Törless
Authors: Hermann Nadja
Published: August 2018

O artigo discute a possibilidade da estética iluminar a ética na educação, interpretando a violência no processo formativo, a partir do Bildungsroman O Jovem Törless (1906), de Robert Musil. A consideração do sensível (aisthesis) para mobilizar os afetos e as emoções é uma estratégia que articula a complementaridade entre o saber filosófico (ética) e aquele que provém da literatura e das artes em geral (estética). O Jovem Törless aborda a violência no processo educativo, provocando a emoção que vincula o ético no estético e, assim, expõe como se preparam as mentalidades autoritárias. Por fim, o texto conclui que a criação poética de Musil expõe o avesso da educação, uma vez que a ordem da instituição educacional é subvertida pela desordem violenta que, trabalhada no processo interno dos sentimentos, provoca o próprio da estética: “emoção extrema”.

Origins of the Tājika System of Astrological Aspects and Dignities
Authors: Gansten Martin
Published: August 2018

The astrological doctrines of aspects and planetary dignities found in the authoritative texts of the Tājika (Sanskritized Perso-Arabic) school are examined with respect to their origins and historical development, with particular emphasis on Balabhadra’s encyclopaedic Hāyanaratna (1649) and its quotations from the perhaps earliest work of the school, Samarasiṃha’s Tājikaśāstra (thirteenth century). It is argued that a major source of these doctrines is Sahl ibn Bishr’s Arabic-language intro­duction to astrology (ninth century), possibly in abbreviated or paraphrased form. Several of the constituent ideas have been imperfectly understood by their Indian epitomists, resulting in reinterpretations and innovations.

Between the Bittern and the Café du Monde: Paul Muldoon’s The Prince of the Quotidian
Authors: Pietrzak Wit
Published: August 2018

The article focuses on Paul Muldoon’s 1994 collection The Prince of the Quotidian. The pamphlet is regarded as a poetic autobiography that takes its impetus from a dual drive towards particularising of experience on the one hand and iterative multiplication of its textual representation. Taking cue from Derrida’s Shibboleth: For Paul Celan, I argue that Muldoon sets up a network of connection that his speaker functions within, thereby positioning himself on the threshold between centripetal focus on life, however mundane it should be, and centrifugal textuality, motivated by intertextual references.
Schreibszenen des Kleinen: Instrumente, Gesten, Poetiken
Authors: Kazalarska Zornitza
Published: August 2018

Im Zentrum des Beitrags steht die Verflechtung der kleinen Formen mit ihren Schreibszenen im Allgemeinen, und die Mitwirkung von Schreibinstrumenten, Beschreibstoffen und körperlichen Schreibgesten an literarischen Notierpraktiken im östlichen Europa im Konkreten. Das Augenmerk der Autorin richtet sich dementsprechend auf das Notizenmachen als prozessuale Schreibpraxis mit eigener Instrumentalität und Gestik. Zum einen interessiert sich die Autorin für die Blütezeit notierenden Schreibens in der alternativen Kultur der spätsozialistischen 1970/1980er Jahre und für die wesentlichen Momente seiner Vor- und Nachgeschichte. Zum anderen benennt sie einige poetologische Implikationen, die Notierpraktiken ins Spiel bringen und die sich aus selbst- und metareflexiven Schreibszenen in literarischen Texten herauskristallisieren: Intransivität, Beweglichkeit, Beiläufigkeit, Vorläufigkeit und Exzessivität. Für Texte, die die poetologischen Dimensionen des Manuskriptartigen und Handschriftlichen aufwerten, schlägt sie schließlich die Bezeichnung „Poetik der Vorbereitung“ vor.

Published: August 2018

Student center learning leads to changing teacher roles. This resulted in a shift in the role of teachers. Learners are required to have HOTS (High Order Thinking Skill), one of the capabilities including HOTS is critical thinking ability. The purpose of this research is to know the influence of learning model of Reciprocal Teaching (RT) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) to critical thinking ability of high school students on reproduction system material. The method used in this research is quasi experiment with Post-Test Only Control Group Design. After obtained the results of the calculation of ANOVA test one way and critical data, then obtained significance value less than 0.05 is 0.001 <0.05 then rejected H0, meaning there is a difference in the average ability of critical thinking learners. The difference of students' critical thinking ability between the RT experimental class and the Student Team Achievement Divisions (STAD) control class proves that there is an influence of the RT learning model on critical thinking skills. The involvement of learners in PBL learning can help in developing critical thinking skills, because PBL involves the ability of learners to search and investigate logically, critically and analytically so that they can formulate their own problem solving. Based on the results of research and hypothesis testing it can be concluded that there is the influence of learning Reciprocal Teaching (RT) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) on the critical thinking skills of high school students on the material reproduction system.

Sasaran pengendalian hama terpadu  adalah mengurangi penggunaan pestisida dengan memadukan teknik pengendalian hayati dan pengendalian kimiawi.  Pada tahun 1986 Pemerintah mengeluarkan Instruksi Presiden Nomor 3 Tahun 1986 yang menjadi Tonggak sejarah PHT di Indonesia,  diawali dengan instruksi presiden nomor 3 tahun 1986 tentang larangan penggunaan 57 formulasi pestisida untuk tanaman padi. Perkembangan selanjutnya adalah UU No 12 Tahun 1992 tentang sistem budidaya tanaman yang menyatakan bahwa “ Perlindungan tanaman dilaksanakan dengan sistem Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (PHT).

Pengendalian hama pada tanaman kedelai hingga kini masih tertumpu pada penggunaan insektisida, cara pengendalian yang lain masih belum banyak di lakukan.  Penggunaan insektisida secara berlebihan berdampak timbulnya resurgensi hama sasaran, dan pencemaran lingkungan pertanian, sehingga Pengendalian Hama Terpadu (PHT) perlu di lakukan  

Pengendalian Hama Terpadu pada tanaman kedelai merupakan teknik pengelolaan keseimbangan lingkungan pertanian melalui ekologi dan efisiensi ekonomi dalam rangka pengelolaan ekosistem yang berwawasan lingkungan yang berkelanjutan. Strategi PHT adalah mensinergikan semua teknik atau metode pengendalian hama dan penyakit yang kompatbel didasarkan pada asas ekologi dan ekonomi. Prinsip operasional yang digunakan dalam PHT adalah 1) Budidaya tanaman sehat, 2. Penyeimbangan komponen ekobiota lingkungan, 3) Pelestarian musuh alami, 4) Pemantauan ekosistem secara terpadu, 5) Mewujudkan petani aktif sebagai ahli PHT.
