PT XYZ is a company that has been engaged in metal casting for a long time. This company produces products in the form of wingnut spare parts. The production system used is make to order production. The obstacle faced by PT XYZ was that it was found that the setup operation process activity took quite a long time on average 40 minutes. If it continues to occur it will have an impact on delays. With these problems, PT XYZ reduced the setup time to overcome delays in completing the automatic molding machine wingnut product. Utilize the Single minute exchange of die (SMED) method to speed up setup. The SMED approach distinguishes between internal regulatory and external regulatory activities. Adjustment activities that only Internal adjustments can be made while the machine is stopped. The External Setup setup activity can be performed while the machine is running or operating. By switching to external setup instead of internal setup, setup tasks that were completed when the machine was stopped can now be completed while it is running, thereby reducing setup time. the setup operation of all these activities is carried out when the engine is off or the internal setup produces an average of 101 molds. Meanwhile, the setup time after implementing SMED can be reduced to 26.78 minutes or a decrease of 47.61%. This decrease in setup time increases productivity by 2 molds/day and if in a month with 26 working days it can add 59 molds so that in total it can produce 159 molds/month.

Monitoring activities for the teaching and learning process at STMIK Lombok are currently not fully operational, causing various violations and omissions committed by lecturers and students not known by superiors who should be obligated to carry out this monitoring. Some examples of violations and omissions found were students and lecturers being late for lectures, lectures being held not according to a predetermined schedule, students and lecturers filling out lecture attendance that they did not attend, late submission of lecture documents conducted by lecturers, and lectures not being given in accordance lecturers with lesson plans and syllabus that have been prepared. The process of evaluating lecturer performance is carried out at the end of each semester based on the results of the questionnaire filled in by each student. However, the results of this evaluation are considered to be ineffective because they are still subjective, requiring additional data that is more accurate and measurable so that Management will find it easier to determine what actions need to be taken to improve and develop the quality of education at STMIK Lombok. To deal with the problems, the researchers designed an information system for monitoring and evaluating the teaching and learning process at STMIK Lombok. The analytical method used in this study is PIECES, while the design method used is waterfall, and for testing it uses the Blackbox method. The results in this study are websites built with the PHP programming language using the Laravel Framework and for the database used, namely MySQL. In this system there are 6 types of users that are distinguished according to their respective roles and each role has different access rights. The system is integrated with the system and database of SIAKAD STMIK Lombok.

Abstract. This study describes a modeling framework, model evaluation, and source apportionment to understand the causes of Los Angeles (LA) air pollution. A few major updates are applied to the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model with a high spatial resolution (1 km × 1 km). The updates include dynamic traffic emissions based on real-time, on-road information and recent emission factors and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) schemes to represent volatile chemical products (VCPs). Meteorology is well predicted compared to ground-based observations, and the emission rates from multiple sources (i.e., on-road, volatile chemical products, area, point, biogenic, and sea spray) are quantified. Evaluation of the CMAQ model shows that ozone is well predicted despite inaccuracies in nitrogen oxide (NOx) predictions. Particle matter (PM) is underpredicted compared to concurrent measurements made with an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) in Pasadena. Inorganic aerosol is well predicted, while SOA is underpredicted. Modeled SOA consists of mostly organic nitrates and products from oxidation of alkane-like intermediate volatility organic compounds (IVOCs) and has missing components that behave like less-oxidized oxygenated organic aerosol (LO-OOA). Source apportionment demonstrates that the urban areas of the LA Basin and vicinity are NOx-saturated (VOC-sensitive), with the largest sensitivity of O3 to changes in VOCs in the urban core. Differing oxidative capacities in different regions impact the nonlinear chemistry leading to PM and SOA formation, which is quantified in this study.

Authors: Павленко Дмитро Вячеславович
Published: February 2024

Статтю присвячено визначенню поняття правових категорій впровадження та реалізації протиепідемічних заходів за чинним законодавством України. Встановлено, що прийняті у сфері охорони здоров’я і забезпечення епідемічного благополуччя населення законодавчі акти не містять термінів «впровадження» і «реалізація». Запропоновано використовувати як синоніми такі пари термінів: впровадження і організація, оскільки вони обидва націлені на здійснення підготовчих та інших дій, спрямованих на перше введення чогось у життя, тобто надання йому дійсної сили, легітимацію тощо; реалізація і проведення як безпосереднє здійснення чогось уже введеного у практику, легітимованого тощо. Наголошено на тому, що наразі в Україні не затверджено чіткої процедури впровадження та реалізації протиепідемічних заходів, а нормативно-правове регулювання обмежується закріпленням окремих повноважень і перерахуванням певних протиепідемічних заходів, які потрібно проводити в тих чи інших обставинах. Сформульовано загальне поняття впровадження і реалізації протиепідемічних заходів, яке визначено як діяльність, здійснювана вповноваженими на це суб’єктами публічної адміністрації, фізичними та юридичними особами, спрямована на досягнення цілей протиепідемічних заходів, включно із забезпеченням реалізації прав і свобод людини, яка полягає у створенні умов, потрібних для здійснення протиепідемічних заходів на практиці шляхом виконання дій підготовчого характеру, та безпосередньому виконанні вимог, правил, рекомендацій, які уособлюють собою ті чи інші протиепідемічні заходи. Наголошено на необхідності вдосконалення чинного законодавства, зокрема в напрямі закріплення відповідних дефініцій, розмежування повноважень на впровадження протиепідемічних та інших заходів, встановлення процедури впровадження протиепідемічних заходів насамперед з боку суб’єктів публічної адміністрації та порядку їх реалізації ними, актуалізації положень відповідно до правової дійсності та ін.

Twin screw extruder was used to develop soy-carrot pomace incorporated wheat-based nutritionally rich snacks. Different experimental combinations of extrusion process variables as die temperature, screw speed, feed moisture and wheat flour in the feed formulation of wheat, defatted soy flour and carrot pomace powder, were tried using Box-Behnken design of experiment. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effect of die temperature (120-180°C), screw speed (300-500 rpm), feed moisture (14-20%) and wheat flour (65-85%) with soy-carrot pomace blend in equal proportion on product responses like bulk density (BD), water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), hardness (H), colour change (CC), and overall acceptability (OA). The extrusion process was optimized for maximum expansion ratio, water absorption index, water solubility index and overall acceptability; and minimum bulk density, hardness and colour change within the experimental range. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that among the process variables, feed moisture and wheat flour percentage in feed formulation had significantly higher effect on BD, ER, WSI, CC and OA. Die temperature was observed to have significantly lower effect on the selected responses. The optimized extrusion conditions for desired product quality had desirability of 0.729.

Published: February 2024

Rapid industrialization and overpopulation have stimulated increase in both domestic and industrial wastewater. Due to lack of efficient sewerage system and absence of treatment plants, the wastewater is discharged into drainage systems causing environmental and health implications. At various points, the wastewater of these drains is used for irrigation purposes. A study conducted at Nagpur during 2012-13 characterizes the effluent of major drains of Nagpur city and assess its suitability for irrigation. Temporal and spatial wastewater samples were collected from drains in rainy, winter and summer seasons during morning, afternoon; and evening and analysed for various parameters of special concern to irrigation. TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, N, P, EC, pH, micronutrient like Zn, Mn, Cu, Fe and heavy metals Co, Cd ,Cr and Pb varied in concentration at different locations at different time and seasons when compared with BIS and FAO guidelines for irrigation. Regular monitoring and proper treatment of wastewater before discharging into the drains can reduce the pollution in these drains. As the sewage water contains pollutants at higher levels, its direct use for irrigation and other purpose should be restricted.

Published: February 2024

Development plan of water resources in a surface waterlogged area in coastal district of Odisha, India was attempted. Vulnerability extent of dry spell was to the tune of 17-55 % during monsoon season using Markov chain procedure, which emphasized the requirement of micro-level water resources plan in the study area. Through field survey procedure, four farm pond locations were suggested for farm ponds in 41 ha command area. Further, the CAD&WM, DOWR, Govt. of Odisha executed field drain and helped in modulating water congestion in the crop fields and enhanced paddy yield ranging between 2.3-3.1 t.ha-1 as against 1.2 t.ha-1 under pre-drainage condition. Due to successful functioning of the surface drainage system, reduction of ponding up to 49 cm in paddy field took place in a peak rainfall event of 152 mm, when field drain observed 109 cm inundation. Renovation of minors helped in regaining their carrying capacity, which ranged between 0.9-1.63 m3 .s-1. Applying multi-objective programming technique with water availability at 75% and 85% scenarios, the optimal crop allocation was found at 75 % level, which suggested growing of kharif paddy in 20 ha, rabi tomato in 24.1 ha and rabi brinjal in 5.9 ha with maximum profit and production. Thus, due to execution of field drain and rejuvenation of farm ponds and minors in the command area, rabi crops were successfully introduced with varying successes.

Authors: N.A. Nanje Gowda  , K. Alagusundaram  , C.V. Kavitha Abirami
Published: February 2024

Thin layer drying characteristics of black gram were studied at three initial moisture contents (17.0, 21.8, 25.4% d.b), three drying air temperatures (45, 55, 65°C) and three air velocities (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 m.s-1). Drying characteristics of black gram was significantly affected by drying air temperature. Grain initial moisture content and velocity, both had a limited influence, and only during the initial stages of drying. Increase in airflow velocity greater than 1m.s-1 had no significant effect on moisture reduction. Out of the eight models evaluated, Midilli model was found to be the best fit. Effective moisture diffusivity varied from 2.96 x 10-7 to 1.08 x 10-6 m2 .s-1 and activation energy varied from 37.43 kJ.mol-1 to 48.36 kJ.mol-1 for black gram drying. The effect of air temperature and air velocity on drying constants was explained through an Arrhenius type relation, while the effect of initial moisture content on model constants could not be explained. The developed model could be used to predict the moisture ratio of black gram as affected by temperature and air velocity. Highest dehulling efficiency was found to vary between 72.3 and 72.8% when 21.8% (d.b.) initial moisture grains was dried at a temperature of 55°C.

Published: February 2024

E-Learning platforms such as Moodle, Blackboard and Canvas have got reasonable attention in teaching and learning processes. However, when it comes to assessment and interactive learning activities they offer little service to science, engineering, and mathematics e-learners. In this work, we present the application of the System for Teaching and Assessment using Computer Algebra Kernel (STACK) as a plugin in a Learning Management System (LMS) to address the issue. Different features of STACK are demonstrated and discussed. As an LMS plugin, STACK can be used for interactive delivery of content as well as an assessment tool. Here, examples from mathematics, physical sciences and engineering are demonstrated. The use of STACK extends the applicability of LMS for a wider range of subjects to address existing inability to handle higher level mathematical and computational skills. Additionally, the use of STACK in an LMS is useful in handling tutorials for large classes especially when a blended delivery mode is preferred.

This paper delves into a conceptual review of the vital role of innovative approaches in tax enforcement and compliance for achieving sustainable economic development in Nigeria. Amidst evolving global economic landscapes, the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, data analytics, digital platforms, and real-time reporting has emerged as a powerful catalyst for transforming the nation's tax system. These innovations have significantly streamlined tax processes, facilitating easier tax compliance for individuals and businesses. They have also fostered transparency and trust within the tax system by ensuring secure and tamper-proof tax records and enhancing voluntary compliance. The implementation of these innovative strategies presents a unique opportunity to bolster Nigeria's revenue collection, thereby contributing to sustainable economic development by funding critical public services, infrastructure projects, and socio-economic development initiatives. The paper concludes that the adoption of innovative approaches in tax enforcement is pivotal for sustainable economic development in Nigeria. By promoting compliance and transparency, these technologies contribute to a robust and reliable revenue base essential for funding public services and infrastructure projects. This paper, therefore, recommends investment in digital Infrastructure, implementation of real-time reporting and data analytics, utilisation of data analytics and artificial intelligence and leverage on mobile payment systems.
Anti-Obesity Potentials of Methanol Extracts of Phragmanthera Incana Leaves Hemi-Parasitic on Guava, Cashew, Kolanut and Mango Trees in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats

The anti-obesity potential of methanol extracts of Phragmanthera incana leaves hemi-parasitic on guava Psidium guajava (PIPG), cashew Anacardium occidentale (PIAO), mango Mangifera indica (PIMI) and kolanut Cola acuminata (PICA) trees were evaluated. Thirty high-fat diet-induced rats were grouped into six; four experimental, negative control and positive controls were orally administered lipid emulsion (5 mL/kg). Experimental received 400 mg/kg body weight from each of the four methanol extracts in addition to the lipid emulsion, positive control received 120 mg/kg bw Orlistat in addition to lipid emulsion while negative control received lipid emulsion alone. Blood samples were collected from ophthalmic venous plexus at 0, 90, and 180 minutes to determine plasma pancreatic lipase (PL) activity, alpha amylase activity and lipid profiles. PL inhibitory activity of the four methanol extracts showed that methanol extracts of PICA and PIAO had greater than 50% inhibition at 400 µg/mL. The α-amylase inhibitory activity of PICA was significantly higher (p < 0.05) when compared with PIAO, PIPG and PIMI. A significant decrease (p < 0.05) in total cholesterol, low density Lipoprotein-cholesterol levels and atherogenic index of plasma of PICA when compared with other treatment groups after 180 minutes of extracts administration was observed. Methanol extract of PICA was found to exhibit higher inhibitory pancreatic lipase and α-amylase activities and higher hypocholesterolemic activity when compared with those of guava (PIPG), cashew (PIAO) and mango (PIMI). This indicates that methanol extract of P. incana leaves could serve as a source of phyto-compounds that could be developed as antiobesity drugs.

The oceans and all the marine life forms that they harbor remain a major source of treasure to mankind, covering 71% of the earth's surface and representing over 95% of the biosphere. Zoanthids, a subclass of the benthic Anthozoans, are found in almost all marine environments. Despite this fact, the order Zoantharia is still one of the most taxonomically neglected and least examined orders of the phylum Cnidaria. However, they are gaining importance in the pharmaceutical research field due to the significance of bioactive compounds secreted from their bodies. Zoanthus sansibaricus species collected from the Indian coast have been explored in the present study. The study aimed to isolate chemical constituents from the methanol and methanol: chloroform (1:1) extract of Zoanthus sp. by subjecting it to a series of chromatographic analysis. In total, eight compounds were purified from petroleum ether, chloroform, n-butanol, and methanol-soluble parts of aqueous fractions. The compounds were characterized using spectroscopic techniques such as Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), 1H and 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and Mass spectrometry. Total phenolic content and total flavonoid content were estimated using the Folin-Ciocalteu method and Aluminum chloride method, respectively. The phenolic compound contents of the petroleum ether and methanol-soluble part of the aqueous fraction were 18.92mg/g GAE and 7.02mg/g GAE, respectively. Total flavonoid content in the petroleum ether fraction was 8.05mg/g QUE and 1.38mg/g QUE in the methanol-soluble part of the aqueous fraction. This study emphasizes the need for a more extensive compilation of such data to extend our pool of knowledge about marine natural products as potential candidates for drug discovery.

The members of this species are annual and perennial. The leaves of the plant are alternate, paripinnate compound and the petiole possesses a dark purple-brown ovoid gland near the stem junction. Senna occidentalis (L.) also known as “Kasondi or coffee senna” is a herbaceous medicinal weed with orange-yellow to yellow flowers belonging to the family “Fabaceae (Leguminosae)” Senna occidentalis (L.). The present work was designed to investigate the presence of quercetin and gallic acid in the n-hexane and hydro-alcoholic extract of S. occidantalis through HPTLC. The result presented through chromatograms and peak tables reveals the presence of quercetin in the sample extracted with n-hexane and hydro-alcohol while gallic acid was not detected in n-hexane and hydro-alcohol extracted samples.
Z badań nad protestami rolniczymi w Polsce
Authors: Foryś Grzegorz
Published: February 2024

W artykule podjęto z jednej strony próbę wskazania właściwego kontekstu teoretycznego dla budowy schematu analitycznego, za pomocą którego można opisać i wyjaśnić zjawisko rolniczych protestów, z drugiej strony przedstawiono wybrane charakterystyki tychże protestów z lat 1989–1993 i 1997–2001. Zasadnicze wnioski sformułowane na podstawie wykorzystanego materiału mówią, iż: (1) protesty rolnicze generowane były przez pogarszająca się sytuację ekonomiczną tej kategorii społecznej i związane z tym poczucie deprywacji, (2) protesty rolnicze wykazywały odmienną dynamikę w porównaniu z protestami innych kategorii społecznych, (3) uczestnikami protestów rolniczych byli przede wszystkim właściciele dużych, zmodernizowanych gospodarstw, (4) protesty rolnicze podlegały procesom instytucjonalizacji, co wyrażało się między innymi: coraz mniejszą liczbą protestów wybuchających spontanicznie, wzrostem kooperacji między organizacjami rolników w trakcie organizowania i przebiegu akcji protestacyjnych, wzrostem liczby serii protestów i kampanii protestacyjnych, wypracowaniem stałego repertuaru form protestów (blokady dróg, okupacja budynków państwowych, wielotysięczne manifestacje), wypracowanie stałych metod dochodzenia do kompromisu z władzami państwa i przeniesienie części problemów rolnictwa na forum polityki konwencjonalnej, (5) w wymiarze żądań protestacyjnych oraz ukierunkowania działań w stronę instytucjonalnych adresatów ujawniły się tendencje do ekonomizacji (dominacja żądań o charakterze ekonomicznym), polityzacji (adresatem żądań były głównie instytucje państwa) i radykalizacji działań (zastosowanie ostrzejszych metod protestu) w omawianym okresie.
Wspólna polityka rolna a polityka spójności w kontekście przeglądu budżetu UE
Authors: Hardt Łukasz
Published: February 2024

Działania z zakresu rozwoju obszarów wiejskich (ROW) realizowane są zarówno w ramach tzw. II filaru wspólnej polityki rolnej UE (WPR), jak i programów finansowanych ze środków polityki spójności. Kwestia wyboru sposobu realizowania polityki ROW nabiera pierwszorzędnego znaczenia w sytuacji obecnej debaty nad zmianami WPR. Dyskusja ta stymulowana jest zarówno czynnikami wewnętrznymi (m.in. przeglądem budżetu UE oraz tzw. health check WPR), jak i zewnętrznymi (m.in. negocjacjami WTO oraz zmianami na światowym rynku żywnościowym). Czynniki te są szczegółowo omówione w niniejszym artykule, gdzie wskazuje się, że najważniejszym katalizatorem zmian w sposobie realizacji polityki ROW może okazać się przegląd budżetu UE, który dotyczy zarówno WPR, jak i polityki spójności. W artykule wskazano na najważniejsze dylematy związane z wyborem sposobu prowadzenia działań z zakresu ROW. W tekście twierdzi się, iż biorąc pod uwagę małą mobilność czynników produkcji w Polsce, korzystne może okazać się przeniesienie ciężaru realizacji polityki ROW w większym stopniu na politykę spójności. Ponadto dowodzi się, iż zwiększenie alokacji środków UE na rozwój wsi poprzez politykę spójności kosztem ilości środków kierowanych na wieś poprzez II filar WPR może ograniczyć ryzyko zmniejszenia transferów funduszy unijnych na polskie obszary wiejskie po 2013 roku. W artykule proponuje się również mechanizm instytucjonalny realizacji polityki ROW opartej w mniejszym zakresie na II filarze WPR.
Ekonomiczne uwarunkowania rozwoju rynku pszenicy i rzepaku w Polsce w latach 1997–2007
Authors: Kucharski Krzysztof
Published: February 2024

W niniejszym artykule dokonano analizy i oceny procesów, jakie zachodziły na rynku pszenicy i rzepaku w Polsce w dekadzie przełomu wieków. Zakres czasowy dotyczy więc lat 1997–2007, przy czym 1996 rok stanowi punkt odniesienia dla pierwszego roku badanego okresu. Jest to okres szczególny, ponieważ obejmuje lata przed akcesją oraz pierwsze lata po wstąpieniu Polski do struktur Unii Europejskiej. Sektor rolny ściśle powiązany jest z pozostałymi sektorami gospodarki, stąd należy zwrócić uwagę na procesy zachodzące w całej gospodarce. W związku z tym w pierwszej części artykułu zostały zdefiniowane najważniejsze wskaźniki ogólnogospodarcze oraz wskaźniki dotyczące sektora rolnego, tj. wskaźnik nożyc cen w rolnictwie, dynamiki globalnej produkcji rolnej. Natomiast druga część artykułu przedstawia sytuację, jaka kształtowała się wewnątrz rynku pszenicy i rzepaku z jej endogenicznymi determinantami. Stwierdzono, iż mimo rosnącego wpływu czynników makroekonomicznych w dalszym ciągu rynek pszenicy i rzepaku był determinowany czynnikami endogenicznymi. Tendencje rozwojowe rynku pszenicy i rzepaku w większym stopniu zależały od wielkości zasiewów i plonowania aniżeli od czynników koniunkturalnych.
