The paper outlines the problems of fish rearing in the water with negative redox potential. Water is known to consist of supermolecules, the so-called clusters and cells, connected by a special molecular structure. This structure changes when exposed to water in different ways: chemical, electromagnetic, mechanical. Under these influences the water molecules rearrange forming the structured living water. The effectiveness of activated water is explained by the fact that in the process of electrolysis the dead water acquires a positive electric potential, and living water – a negative electrical potential. It becomes a weak electrolyte which quickly interacts with body fluids (gastric juice, blood, lymph, intercellular fluid, etc.). As a result of the studies carried out on juvenile tilapia, it has been found that the hydrochemical parameters in the experimental (growing in structured water) and control variants were within the standard values. Concentration of O2 made 7 mg/l, pH of the medium was 7.2, and nitrite concentration was 0.3 mg/l. It has been inferred that the redox potential (redox) of the blood of young tilapia has a negative value

(–96 mV). It has been recorded that at a water temperature of 21°C that is sufficiently low for thermophilic tilapia and at a negative redox (–212 mV) there has been observed a high growth rate of fish. It was found that the use of redox water (–100 mV) is most effective, because the linear-weight gain of juveniles increases by 41% in comparison with the control. Negatively charged (cathode) water increases the efficiency of rearing tilapia fry and does not affect the physiological state of fish. Tilapia fry reared in the structured water have the highest hemoglobin content (62-64 g/l) and total protein (13.3-14.3 g/l).

Published: September 2020

The paper outlines the study of the physiological and biochemical parameters

of golden mullet (Liza aurata, Risso) in the Caspian Sea. Collecting material was carried out in the western part of the Northern and Middle Caspian in September-October 2019. The female and male species were analyzed. The histomorphological investigation of the gonads of females and males indicated the completion of spawning. The morphological picture of the gonads of golden mullet

of both sexes corresponded to the maturity scale of this species as applied to the Caspian region.

In the blood there was determined the concentration of hemoglobin, total serum protein, total lipids, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, and inorganic phosphorus. A valid positive correlation dependence (p < 0.05) of weight and length of females (r = 0.9340) and males (r = 0.9320) was stated.

In females high correlations were recorded between the levels of total serum protein and cholesterol (r = 0.9071), total serum protein and hemoglobin (r = 0.9706), glucose and hemoglobin

(r = 0.8897) with a statistical significance level of p < 0.05. The revealed statistical dependencies of physiological and biochemical parameters of fish blood indicated their important role in the body in optimizing the total energy costs after spawning. According to the study of males, there has been found a high (r = 0.9195) significant (p < 0.05) correlation relationship between the content

of hemoglobin and cholesterol in the blood. The content of total lipids in muscles, gonads and liver of females and males of golden mullet were comparable. The levels of water-soluble protein in the muscles, liver, and gonads of fish of both sexes did not differ significantly. The obtained research results on the complex of physiological and biochemical parameters of golden mullet will significantly increase the volume of reliable information about the physiological status of the organism of the studied species of mullet in the modern ecological conditions of the Caspian Sea.

Aspects of determining consumer basket concerning nonfoods and services for regions of Russian Federation (case study of Astrakhan region).
Authors: Abdulova Svetlana Yurievna
Published: September 2020

The article highlights the pressing issue of qualitative transformation of the consumer basket, the composition of which has not been revised in the Russian Federation for 7 years. It has been stated that during this period there took place changes in the socio-economic development of the regions, including the demands of the population for a minimum set of nonfoods and services necessary for life and human development. Analysis of the active methods of calculating the consumer basket on the example of the Astrakhan region showed that food products make about 50%, the remaining 50% equally accounted for nonfoods and services. Calculating expenses for nonfoods and services is based on the established percentage ratio with the cost of food. This method does not allow to take into account all the minimum needs of various groups of the population for nonfoods and services for life support and human development. In recent years there have been the significant changes in the needs of the population, which are neglected by the method. An example is the need to purchase a mobile phone, computer, medical products and medicines, sporting goods, as well as the need for communication, educational, cultural, social and transport services. There has been proposed a normative method of calculating the cost of nonfoods and services in the consumer goods basket. The new method provides establishing a specific inventory and quantity of nonfoods with useful life, as well as determining a specific inventory and periodicity of the needed services, which will make the calculation of the consumer goods basket more credible. It has been proposed to provide savings for improving housing conditions and creating a financial reserve when forming a consumer basket. The preliminary calculations showed an increase in the project cost of the consumer basket by more than 2 times, which can lead to an increase in budget expenditures for social purposes, but at the same time it will also contribute to the development of economy and improve the quality of life of the citizens. Conclusions are made that there is a need to review the consumer basket. There has been recommended a comprehensive approach to the problem: to consider the needs of citizens and the budget possibilities.
The socio-economic impacts of bush encroachment in Manthestad, Taung, South Africa
Authors: Sebitloane Tshegofatso K.J. , Coetzee Hendri , Kellner Klaus , Malan Pieter
Published: September 2020

Bush encroachment involves a widespread increase in, and abundance of, woody vegetation in grassland and savanna biomes. This phenomenon has a direct impact on the socio-economic well-being of rural communities and affects livestock owners and those who utilise the land for various other purposes. This study set out to evaluate and gain an understanding of how livestock owners and land users in a typical rural village in South Africa’s North West Province perceive bush encroachment and the impact it has on the community’s ecosystem services. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was used to document the perceptions of the participants regarding bush encroachment and bush control in an attempt to describe characteristics and to find answers to questions related to how local communities are affected by bush encroachment and the control thereof. The results show that encroachment has a significant impact on the socio-economic status of participants. Furthermore, it was found that the vast untapped knowledge of local livestock owners is vital to control bush encroachment, preserve the land for various types of usage and to conserve natural resources. Evaluating participants’ responses and perceptions also contributed significantly to gaining an understanding of how bush encroachment and the control thereof impact rural communities socio-economically. This led the contributors to conclude that raising awareness, actively engaging with the community, imparting skills and offering educational opportunities, creating jobs, merging biophysical activities and promoting active participation are key to the success of programmes aimed at bush control and the resultant improvement of ecosystem services.

Published: September 2020

This article discusses the knowledge of indigenous people about forest care, interconnectivity and maintenance of their ecological resources as well as the challenges they face among the Matigsalug-Manobo people of Marilog District, Davao City, Philippines. The researchers utilized a descriptive research design through qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews, focus-group discussions and photo-video documentation. To extract the data, the necessary permits and ethical compliance were provided by the respective parties of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Region 11, the Local Government Unit of Marilog District and the Manobo-Matigsalug Tribal Council Incorporated. The data gathered were analyzed through thematic analysis focusing on the dominant themes from the respondents’ narratives. The results revealed that these people’s indigenous knowledge on biodiversity conservation has been challenged by changes in the natural landscape, forest deterioration and the unintended consequences of these such as cultural loss and economic well-being. Thus, this has led to major implications of how they conserve the forest and manage their ecological resources in the current times. This calls for building a sustainable and inclusive economic livelihood for the indigenous group and other stakeholders in the Marilog district. This is a vital step in order not to compromise their economic livelihood, to retain cultural practices and to maintain their rights to manage and sustain their ecological resources. Overall, the Matigsalug-Manobos are actively negotiating the cause and effects of these socio-economic factors and are able to devise ways to use the forest and its ecological resources for their survival.
Interactions between industrial development and environmental protection dimensions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Evidence from 40 countries with different income levels
Authors: Liu Suyu
Published: September 2020

This article explores the interactions between industrial development and environmental protection dimensions of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In consideration of the suitability and data availability, this article uses the SDG indicators 9.2.1 (manufacturing value-added per capita) and 12.4.1 (E-waste per capita) as the two indicators to reflect industrial development and environmental protection under the SDGs framework. Based on a cross-country data source, this article examines the correlation between manufacturing value-added per capita and E-waste per capita in forty countries across four income levels as defined by the World Bank. The results show that the manufacturing value-added per capita and E-waste per capita increase with the countries’ income levels. In addition, the positive correlation between manufacturing value-added per capita and electronic waste (E-waste_ per capita) becomes weaker with the increase of the countries’ income levels, and for high-income countries the correlation turns negative. This provides evidence to partially support the Environmental Kuznets Curve, which demonstrates the ‘inverted-U shape’ relationship between economic development and environmental protection. It also generates a number of implications on the monitoring and management of SDG indicators. In consideration of the interactions between different SDGs (including targets and indicators), a holistic, multi-disciplinary, and cross-departmental management and monitoring of SDG indicators is recommended.

Published: September 2020

Treatment personalisation plays a key role in the current management of patients with cancer. Several biomarkers have shown clinical utility and may guide therapeutic decisions. Amongst patients with lung cancer, the level of expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has both prognostic and predictive values in terms of response to the inhibition of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1). Depending on the clinical setting, the expression of PD-L1 ≥1% or ≥50% has been associated with improved outcomes amongst patients receiving pembrolizumab. Regarding patients with colorectal carcinoma, mutations in the KRAS oncogene predict the responsiveness to the inhibition of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Only patients with wild-type KRAS tumours derive benefit from cetuximab and panitumumab in terms of response and survival. In conclusion, future research should aim in the optimisation of the use of biomarker in the clinical practice in order to provide the optimal drug combination to each individual patient.

Published: September 2020

In mountain areas, air circulation plays a major role in the forming of the climate. This paper examines how it influences thermal stress in the northern Carpathians. The Niedźwiedź’s classification of air circulation was applied. Thermal stress was assessed by Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI). Daily meteorological and circulation data for the period 1986–2015 were used for 20 stations in Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine. Air circulation was found to have a significant impact on thermal stress. The highest UTCI values are observed at Ca+Ka (centre of the high and anticyclonic wedge or ridge of high pressure) and the lowest values at N+NE and W+NW circulation; at the Southward stations, UTCI is higher than in the Northward ones; thermoneutral days are more frequent on the southward than on the northward slopes; during N+NE, E+SE and W+NW circulation and for heat stress days, the greatest thermal privilege of the southward slopes is observed at E+SE, S+SW, Ca+Ka and Cc+Bc (centre of low and through of low pressure) types of circulation.
Transformations of the Evil Forest in the Swedish Television Series Jordskott
Authors: Souch Irina
Published: September 2020

This article is an ecocritical reading of the Swedish television series Jordskott. I discuss the effects in the series produced by the combination of the Nordic Noir's style and narrative techniques with elements of other genres, especially Gothic horror. I argue that through the contemporary reworking of the centuries-old Nordic mythology, Jordskott demonstrates how the aggressive powers of nature in Gothic narratives can no more be conventionally explained by referring to the pagan, pre-Christian beliefs, but need to be reconceived in light of the relentless environmental devastation brought about by humankind. The link unveiled between natural ecology and cultural mythology allows the series to surpass the limitations of the regionally informed folkloric story and to evolve into an ecological cautionary tale of global significance.
Nordic Noir from Within and Beyond
Authors: Hansen Kim Toft
Published: September 2020

In this article, I show how a vision for the Nordic region exists as a banal Nordism, based on years of content exchange, Nordic co-production models, and public funding opportunities. I document how new commercial players have been able to gain a very large market share in only a few years, significantly disrupting the reach of public service broadcasters in the Nordic region. The three largest contemporary commercial players on the Nordic market – Viaplay, HBO, and Netflix – have been able to, in very different ways, tap into the ideology of banal Nordism and the geopolitical unity of the Nordic region, and they have done so by producing and acquiring content that has deep associations with one of the Nordic region's main international brands: Scandinavian crime fiction and Nordic Noir.

La patología dual se define como la asociación cruzada de dos situaciones clínicas: un trastorno mental y un trastorno adictivo. La patología dual es una realidad clínica infradiagnosticada pero los diferentes estudios estiman una elevada prevalencia entre la población general y clínica. La evaluación y diagnóstico de la patología dual presenta complicaciones debido al solapamiento de síntomas de ambos trastornos. Actualmente, no existen programas de tratamiento específicos para los pacientes duales que trabajen de manera multidisciplinar e integral. En los pacientes duales el consumo de cannabis y el Trastorno límite de personalidad es una de las combinaciones más frecuente y que se suele dar mayormente en mujeres. Por ello, en este trabajo se realiza una propuesta de intervención psicoeducativa basada en el Modelo Transteórico del Cambio dirigida a un caso con Patología dual, en concreto, con adicción al cannabis y Trastorno límite de la personalidad que consta de 15 sesi ones que se distribuyen a lo largo de los estadios del cambio.

Efficient Emission in Halide Layered Double Perovskites: The Role of Sb3+ Substitution in Cs4Cd1–xMnxBi2Cl12 Phosphors
Authors: Vargas Brenda , Coutiño-Gonzalez Eduardo , Ovalle-Encinia Oscar , Sánchez-Aké Citlali , Solis-Ibarra Diego
Published: September 2020

Layered halide perovskites and double perovskites optoelectronic properties have recently been the subject of intense research. Layered double perovskites represent the merging of both worlds, and as such, have the potential to further expand the already vast space of optoelectronic properties and applications of halide perovskites. Despite having more than 40 known members, to date, only the <111>-oriented layered double perovskites: Cs4Cd1–xMnxBi2Cl12, have shown efficient photoluminescence (PL). In this work, we replaced Bi with Sb to further investigate the electronic structure and PL properties of these materials, resulting in two new families of layered inorganic perovskites alloys with full solubility. The first family, Cs4Cd1–xMnSb2Cl12, exhibits a PL emission at 605 nm ascribed to Mn2+ centers in octahedral coordination, and a maximum photoluminescence quantum yield PLQY of 28.5%. The second family of alloys, also with full solubility, Cs4Cd0.8Mn0.2(Sb1–yBiy)2Cl12, contains a fixed amount of Mn2+ and Cd2+ cations but different concentrations of the trivalent metals. This variability allows the tuning of the PL emission from 603 nm to 614 nm. We show that the decreased efficiency of the Cs4Cd1–xMnxSb2Cl12family compared to Cs4Cd1–xMnxBi2Cl12, is mostly due to a decreased spin-orbit coupling in Sb and the subsequent increased electronic delocalization compared to the Bi alloys, reducing the energy transfer to Mn2+ centers. This work lays out a roadmap to understand and achieve high photoluminescence efficiencies in layered double perovskites.
The Insignificance of Long-Distance Interactions for Molecular Frequencies. Analyses of Sparse Forceconstant Matrices
Authors: Bojesen Gustav
Published: September 2020

The experimentally observed group additivity of temperature dependent molecular properties of organic molecules i.e. the heat capacity, suggests that molecular vibrational frequencies primarily are determined by short-distance atomic interactions. Based on the molecular graph a consistent hierarchy of molecular force constant (FC) matrices has be constructed. These sparse and low-density matrices systematically include the force constants for the uncoupled atomic displacement, neighbour (1-2), next-neighbour (1-3) and longer-range atomic interactions. Such FC matrices were constructed for a number of hydrocarbons and hetero atomic molecules, and the error on the vibrational frequencies decrease rapidly with the inclusion of more interactions in the matrices. With inclusion of 1-4 interactions average relative errors between 1.3 % and 3.8 % are obtained based on B3LYP/6-311(d,p) calculations. The largest relative errors are found for low frequency vibrations below 50 cm-1 . The results were largely independent of the calculational level. The insignificance of the long-distance interactions was confirmed by the improvement in the calculated frequencies of hetero atomic molecules when FC matrices with only short-distance interactions is complemented with matric elements from a FC matrix of a hydrocarbon with similar geometry. Further confirmation is provided by calculations of molecular frequencies from the FC matrices constructed from fragments and supplemented with matrix elements for the interactions between atoms belonging to different fragments taken from appropriate compounds. The difference between the vibrational frequencies obtained in this way without the molecular FC matrix an those obtained from the full FC matrix are within a few cm-1 .

Published: September 2020

The relation between climatic changes and health is the major concern in the healthcare system; cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of death worldwide. Both extreme hot and cold temperature can cause deaths associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study is to analyse the awareness and knowledge on the effect of extreme or high temperature in increased heart-related death rate. A survey with a set of 10 questions was prepared. The questions were administered to 100 participants through google docs by sharing the link. The questionnaire consists of questions related to temperature and heart-related death rate. The study populations were dental students. Majority of the population (i.e.) 91% of the students are aware, and 18% of them aren't aware about the effect of temperature on heart-related deaths. When gender was compared with awareness on extreme or high temperatures in CVD mortality rate, and it was not statistically significant. Hence females were more aware that extreme temperature increases CVD mortality rate than male. Extreme heat and cold temperature have been associated with a higher mortality rate in cardiovascular diseases and conditions like strokes and dysrhythmia. Cardiovascular disease is already the deadliest medical condition and mortality rate related to cardiovascular disorders may triple in extreme heat environments.

Published: September 2020

According to the ancient Greek history, Gaia was the goddess of the earth. This concept reflected in traditional agriculture system that depends on nature and brings limitations. However, with the evolution of human’s understanding of surrounding environment and natural resources has changed the way of agriculture. The creation of The World Trade Organization (WTO) appears to achieve free market and to removing all economic boundaries among nations through the free market. Subsequently, the concept of Food Security becomes important. This brings effect in agriculture sector where all nations increase their food production in order to compete in global market. As the consequences cultural and ecological diversity are considered as obstacles and exploited to achieve economic progress that leads to poverty and hunger. On the other hand, our environment will damage and no longer sustainable for our generation in the future. Along these lines, globalization does not always refer to overall development but also threatens human security. This paper will examine how globalized agriculture threatens human security in four parts. Firstly, it will give the highlight of globalized agriculture concept along with the explanation about Gaia theory that was formulated by James E. Lovelock. Then, it will examine the condition of greenhouse farm in Almeria, Spain. Furthermore, this paper will conclude the link between globalized agriculture and human security with Gaia theory point of view. In the end, this paper will purpose a solution for sustainable agriculture.
Belt and Road Initiative: Catalyst for the Central Asian Integration?
Authors: Anjani Noor Halimah
Published: September 2020

Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) merupakan strategi pembangunan yang dikeluarkan oleh Pemerintah Tiongkok. BRI fokus membangun kerja sama dan konektivitas antara negara-negara di Eurasia. Asia Tengah merupakan salah satu kawasan yang dilewati oleh pembangunan BRI. Permasalahan ekonomi dan pembangunan menjadi alasan mengapa negara-negara ini antusias dengan adanya BRI. Namun, selain masalah ekonomi dan pembangunan, terdapat masalah lain seperti kurang baiknya hubungan antarnegara di kawasan. Pasca runtuhnya Uni Soviet, negara-negara di Asia Tengah mengalami gejolak sosial dan ekonomi. Politik isolasi pun dilakukan oleh negaranegara tersebut dengan anggapan bahwa hal tersebut merupakan cara terbaik untuk menghindari perluasan masalah terlepas dari keberadaan organisasi-organisasi kawasan di Asia Tengah. Penulis melihat terbatasnya integrasi regional sebagai salah satu alasan mengapa stabilitas kawasan di Asia Tengah sulit tercapai. Paper ini bertujuan untuk meneliti sejauh mana BRI mampu menjadi katalis bagi negara-negara Asia Tengah untuk meningkatkan kerja sama regional.

Karakter regionalisme SCO terlihat dari bagaimana proses keanggotaan India dan Pakistan sebagai anggota SCO pada Juni 2017 dan faktor keamanan kawasan. Tulisan ini akan diuraikan melalui tiga komponen: dinamika dan perkembangan SCO dalam menghadapi ancaman keamanan kawasan, tatakelola keamanan: bagaimana SCO melihat ancaman keamanan kawasan saat ini, dan identifikasi regionalisme melalui studi kasus perluasan keanggotaan India dan Pakistan dalam SCO
China’s Departure from Its Long-Standing Non-Interference Foreign Policy in the Middle East

Published: September 2020

Sebagai kekuatan ekonomi terbesar kedua setelah Amerika Serikat, Tiongkok telah menunjukkan kehebatannya serta peran aktifnya dalam lingkup global. Pandangan elit Beijing yang selama ini didominasi oleh kebijakan luar negeri yang bersifat non-intervensi, kini telah mengambil jalur yang berbeda. Sebagai negara industri maju, Tiongkok menaruh perhatian lebih pada sektor industri. Maka dari itu, energi merupakan salah satu kepentingan vital yang harus dicapai dan dijaga Tiongkok. Salah satu negara mitra pengekspor minyak ke Tiongkok adalah negara-negara di kawasan Timur Tengah. Berbagai kisruh politik dan konflik internal maupun internasional yang terjadi di kawasan tersebut seakan menjadi peringatan bagi Tiongkok untuk turut andil demi menjaga kepentingan nasionalnya. Relevansi prinsip kebijakan luar negeri non-intervensi Tiongkok ditantang oleh berbagai tuntutan dan tekanan internasional. Oleh karena itu, paper ini bertujuan untuk meninjau relevansi prinsip kebijakan luar negeri non-intervensi Tiongkok terhadap kawasan di Timur Tengah.

Objetivo.Identificar y sistematizar la evidencia empírica disponible sobre factores e intervenciones que inciden en las condiciones y medio ambiente de trabajo para incrementar la atracción, captación y retención de recursos humanos en salud en el primer nivel de atención de áreas rurales, remotas o desatendidas.

Métodos.Revisión rápida de revisiones, seleccionadas según criterios de pertinencia, elegibilidad e inclusión con búsquedas en bases de datos electrónicas, de literatura gris y manual. Se empleó el AMSTAR I para evaluar la calidad de revisiones sistemáticas y un análisis temático para síntesis de resultados.

Resultados.Se incluyeron 16 revisiones, una de las cuales contenía a su vez 14 revisiones. Del total, 20 revisiones analizaron factores y 9 evaluaron efectividad de intervenciones. La evidencia sobre factores es abundante, pero de limitada calidad. Los factores individuales, familiares y la “exposición rural previa” se asociaron a mayor captación; factores organizacionales y del contexto externo fueron gravitantes en la retención. El trabajo en red y el apoyo profesional incidieron en la captación y retención. La evidencia sobre efectividad de intervenciones fue limitada, en cantidad y calidad. El tipo de intervención más frecuentemente empleada fueron los incentivos.

Conclusiones.La evidencia sobre factores que se relacionan positivamente con la captación y retención de trabajadores en el primer nivel de atención de áreas rurales, remotas o desatendidas es suficiente y debería ser tenida en cuenta al diseñar intervenciones. La evidencia de calidad sobre la efectividad de intervenciones es escasa. Se requieren más estudios controlados con rigurosidad metodológica, particularmente en las Américas.
Kebolehan Suami Memukul Istri Karena Nusyuz (Studi Terhadap Pemahaman Masyarakat Tentang Surat al-Nisa’ ayat 34 di Kecamatan Gading Cempaka Kota Bengkulu)

In al-Qur'an, it is stated that there is the ability of a husband to beat his wife when he is defieding, that skill is sometimes used as a legitimacy for domestic violence, without understanding that ability has the terms and conditions set by the Qur'an and hadith. There are even people who do not know that there is a verse that allows the beating, what if the wife of Husband with the existing provisions, they only determine that the husband is the leader and head of the family that must be obeyed, therefore the husband does not have the right to beat the wife. This study tries to uncover the community's understanding of the verse that melts the husband who hits an incoherent wife with the household problems that exist in the community by using a sociological and psychological approach and a text approach with the study of family fiqh. The results showed there was no relevance between violence or beating of the wife with the understanding of ayat Q.S: al-Nisa ': 34:, because the violence occurred by itself because of ego factors, lack of knowledge and understanding of religious teachings, lack of education and culture or culture or tradition
Poligami dalam Surah an-Nisa' (4): 3 (Aplikasi Pendekatan Kontekstual Abdullah Saeed).
Authors: Haitomi Faisal , M Syam Masiyan
Published: September 2020

This article is motivated by the understanding of some people not to say everything about Surah an-Nisa '(4): 3 as one of the legitimacy of the practice of polygamy. This understanding is reinforced by the practice of polygamy carried out by the Prophet and the interpretation of the majority of scholars who provide a strong reason for the practice of polygamy. Some contemporary scholars try to reconstruct this understanding by approaching the Qur'an contextually. This article uses Abdullah Saeed's contextual approach as the lens of analysis to find the main purpose of the verse. As a result, the writer found that sura 4: 3 is not a verse that emphasizes the practice of polygamy, but rather emphasizes caring for orphans and doing justice to others. In line with the main purpose of the verse, then in the context of Indonesia, marrying them (orphans in the interpretation of Al-Tabari and other classical scholars. While according to Muhammad Syahrur, Nashr Hamid Abu Zayd is an orphan's parent) is not a way to give a sense of security and protection for them, because the state has guaranteed freedom and security for orphans and women with the presence of KPAI and KOMNAS for women and there are many institutions and organizations that are concerned with caring for orphans.

This study compared the pre-sacral intervertebral joints of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) with those from specimensof Varanus. These two taxa were chosen because they have similarnumber of pre-sacral vertebrae and similar body weights; however,Varanus can move bipedally and has diarthrotic intervertebral joints,whereas Alligator has intervertebral discs and cannot move bipedally.This study consisted of three objectives: (1) to document the anatomyof the intervertebral joint, (2) to quantify the compressive biomechanicsof the intervertebral joints and explore which features contributed tocompression resistance, and (3) to quantify the impact of compressionon the intervertebral foramen and spinal nerves in these two taxa. Theexperimental results revealed that the diarthrotic intervertebral jointsof Varanus were significantly (4x) stiffer than the intervertebral disc ofAlligator, and that a significant component of this increased stiffnessarose from the facet joints. Compressing the intervertebral joints of thetwo taxa caused a reduction in foraminal area, but the magnitude of thisreduction was not significantly different. We hypothesize that the mainfactor preventing spinal nerve impingement in Varanus during gravitational compression is the relatively small size of the spinal ganglion/nerve relative to the foraminal area.

We will discuss a simple multitasking philosophy based on a close link among four (4) groups of scientific findings from the complicated forests, the shallow or deep seas, and the small islands future technologies, as well as its dramatically impacts in Maluku province economy. The results are then compared to world high multitasking technology system based on our proposed philosophy linked to biodiversity called as multitasking philosophy in diversity (MPD). The detail of simple explanations of such complicated multitasking diversity is presented. While the multitasking impacts in diversity of two to three different multidisciplinary fields are highlighted in a simple way step by step. This novel MPD has been analyzed to be able to increase the Maluku economy as large as 75%.
