Selective and Highly Efficient Adsorption of a Mixture of Anionic and Cationic Dyes as Synthetic Wastewater Absorbents on Layered Double Hydroxide: Experimental and Computational Studies
Authors: Mahmoud Rehab K. , Taha Mohamed , Zaher Amal , Amin Rafat M.
Published: June 2021

Background: In the current work, the removal of cationic and anionic dyes from water was studied both experimentally and computationally. We examine the selectivity of the adsorbent, Zn–Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH) toward three cationic and anionic dyes. Methods: The chemical and physical properties of the prepared adsorbent before and after adsorption were investigated using FT-IR, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential, energy dispersive X-ray, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, particle size, HRTEM, and FESEM analysis; optical and electric properties were estimated. The influence of pH on the adsorption process was estimated. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to understand the adsorption mechanism and compute the adsorption energies.Significant Findings: Single dye adsorption tests revealed that Zn–Fe LDH effectively takes up anionic methyl orange (MO) more than the cationic dyes methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG). From MO/MB/MG mixture experiments, LDH selectively adsorbed in the following order: MO>MB>MG. The adsorption capacity of a single dye solution was 230.68, 133.29, and 57.34 mg/g for MO, MB, and MG, respectively; for the ternary solution, the adsorption capacity was 217.97, 93.122, and 49.57 mg/g for MO, MB, and MG, respectively. Zn–Fe LDH was also used as a photocatalyst, giving 92.2% and 84.7% degradation at concentrations of 10 and 20 mg/L, respectively.
A fuzzy jump-diffusion option pricing model based on Merton formula
Authors: Mandal Satrajit , Bhattacharya Sujoy
Published: June 2021

This paper proposes a fuzzy jump-diffusion option pricing model based on Merton's normal jump-diffusion price dynamics. The logarithm of the stock price is assumed to be a Gaussian fuzzy number and the diffusion and jump parameters of the Merton model are assumed to be triangular fuzzy numbers to model the impreciseness which occur due to the variation in financial markets. Using these assumptions, a fuzzy formula for a European call option has been proposed. Given any value of the option price, its belief degree is obtained by using the bisection search algorithm. The fuzzy call option prices have been defuzzified and it has been found that the fuzzy jump-diffusion model outperforms Wu's fuzzy Black- Scholes model. This is one of the first studies where the impreciseness of the stock price and input parameters has been modelled taking into account occasional large jumps in stock price trajectory and thereby proposing a fuzzy option pricing model.
Relativity and View Effects
Authors: Fischli Bernard
Published: June 2021

Relativity has been based on the implicit assumption that electromagnetism would exclusively describe interactions. Relativistic view effects are included as well, and they act with no force and no energy exchanges. The Ehrenfest paradox is solved. View effects specific to each point of view are the solution. The calculation of the deflection of light by the sun explains in detail why the deflection angle must be almost double the value obtained with Newton’s laws. The compatibility of General Relativity with the new interpretation is discussed. View effects cannot impact total energy. An object has no speed limit due to relativity but can be limited due to other causes. Inertial behavior is examined. Inertial masses are redundant, but this does not introduce gravitation to General Relativity. Relativity impacts the energy formula of electromagnetism using the Lorentz factor which also introduces view effects that are optical illusions with no impact on energy.

The place of the prisoners’ rights protection in the content of the punishment
Authors: Romanov M. V.
Published: June 2021

The article is devoted to the study of the prisoners’ rights as an element of their legal status that can influence the determination of the purpose of the punishment. Consideration has been given to the purpose of criminal punishment under Ukrainian criminal law and the real practical possibilities of achieving this aim have been analysed. The author concludes that the existing purpose of the criminal punishment is manifest in its lack of viability, which results from the impossibility of achieving it. The article states that the current state of legal relations and the development of society require changes in the purposes of punishment and the content of penal enforcement activities.
Reviewing the process of transforming the perception, purpose and means of achieving punishment in penal law, the researcher argues that the principle in this sense is to ensure and respect the legal status of the prisoners, guarantees for the protection of their rights, legitimate interests and duties. The author points out that the law seeks to ensure that the rights of convicted persons are respected, but does not define it as the purpose of punishment. It is this fact that one sees inconsistency in the legal regulation and, as a consequence, the failure to meet this requirement in the enforcement of criminal sanctions.
In his work, the author argues for the need to ascertain during the enforcement of sentences the needs of prisoners, to take into account their interests and, ultimately, to ensure the rights of prisoners, to create conditions for meeting their basic needs, and, above all, security requirements. In the conclusions, the author provides a doctrinal definition of the purpose of the punishment.
The term of the inpatient forensic psychiatric assessment and its continuation in criminal proceedings
Authors: Tyshchenko O. I.
Published: June 2021

The article discusses the problematic issues of calculating the term for placing a person in a medical institution for the purpose of conducting the inpatient forensic psychiatric assessment (hereinafter referred to as the FPA) in criminal proceedings.
Based on the materials of judicial practice: 1) a wide variability of the approaches of judges is demonstrated in the determination of the term for carrying out the FPA in the resolutions (since the legislator, in part 2 of Article 509 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine (hereinafter – the CPC), indicates only the upper limit of the time period for carrying out the FPA – up to two months); 2) the decisions of judges on the prolongation of the FPA are highlighted and analyzed. The necessity of legislative regulation of prolongation of the FPA term at the level of criminal procedural legislation of Ukraine is proved.
In a comparative aspect, the normative regulation of the FPA term and the procedural mechanism of its prolongation in the criminal procedural legislation of the neighboring countries – Kazakhstan, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Estonia, etc. are illustrated. At the same time, the positive experience of foreign countries was recognized as suitable for adoption in the following aspects: (a) determination of the term of the FPA in days; (b) prolongation of the FPA at the reasoned request of the expert (commission of experts); (c) prolongation of the FPA for up to 30 days. In this case, the general term of a person’s stay during one FPA cannot exceed 90 days. However, if an additional or repeated FPA is required, its term must be recalculated. Attention is focused on the fact that the results of the assessments carried out may be different, but the establishment of a reliable mental state of a person acquires particular importance when deciding whether a person is subject to criminal liability. Therefore, it is emphasized that it is inexpedient to propose legislative regulation of the term limit for conducting the FPA in relation to a specific person in one criminal proceeding.
It is concluded that since the issue of sending a person to a medical institution for a psychiatric assessment is resolved in the manner prescribed for submission and consideration of applications for precautionary measures (Part 2 of Article 509 of the CPC), it is logical that the prolongation of the inpatient FPA may occur in the order of extension of detention (Article 199 of the CPC).
Certain aspects of giving legal aid in the courts of Ukraine in civil process in modern conditions
Authors: Shpak Maksym Volodymyrovych
Published: June 2021

Modern legal and judicial practice is constantly faced with problems of shortage of judges and as a result there is a big amount of unresolved cases in civil proceedings. This trend is observed from year to year. This problem is closely related to the fact that due to the insufficient number of judges in some courts of Ukraine, the process of providing legal aid by different groups of subjects is significantly complicated due to the actual impossibility of implementing proceedings in a particular court. Moreover, in Ukraine there are cases when there are no judges in the courts who have the power to administer justice. In this regard, in this research, the author is trying to examine the situation of legal aid cases in civil proceedings, taking into account statistics on the number of judges in Ukraine and the number of civil cases considered by courts in recent years.
It is seemed that providing a legal aid in civil proceedings depends not only on the professional skills of the representative. It depends on the legal environment where it is provided. This is due to the fact that, for example, due to the absence of judges in a particular court, a lawyer cannot provide other types of legal aid, except drawing up and filing a statement of claim. For example, this may be the case in a family case where persons have filed a lawsuit for divorce at the place of residence, but due to the absence of judges in court, the case cannot be considered. Because of this: 1) representatives (including lawyers) cannot provide the legal aid in the court proceedings; 2) the parties in such case will have to wait a long time, when a judge will be appointed to the case.
In recent years, legal aid in the civil process of Ukraine has become increasingly in demand. For the full implementation of legal aid in civil cases in Ukraine, it is necessary that persons who provide it, constantly further training, improve professional skills and abilities.
Some gaps in criminal procedural legislation at the time of court decisions appeal
Authors: Maryniv V. I. , Leiba O.
Published: June 2021

The article is dedicated to the explanation of such legislative defects as gaps in the criminal procedural legislation during court decisions appeal. Within the framework of the study the attention focuses on the fact that regulatory rulemaking of the court decisions appeal in criminal proceeding contains multiple gaps that affect negatively at its practical implementation. Detailed analysis of the gaps in the criminal procedure legislation has been carried out. By reference to specific aspects of the judicial review implementation, the gaps classification according to their subject is proposed.  More specifically the following gaps in the rulemaking of the court decisions appeal in criminal proceedings are identified: 1) concerning the object of appeal; 2) concerning the appealer; 3) concerning the subject of appeal; 4) concerning the appeal procedure, etc. It is pointed out that number of legal regulation gaps regarding the identification of the object of appeal is quite significant. Such gaps arise in response to the determining a list of court decisions by the legislator that are subject to appeal consequently making impossible reviewing those court decisions that are not directly enlisted. Such matter is illustrated by the example of the establishment of restrictions on the ability to appeal the investigating magistrate decisions. Considering the gaps concerning the appealer it is pointed out that in some cases the legislation does not provide the right of relevant parties for court decisions appeal or does not provide them with sufficient legal opportunities which limits a person’s constitutional privilege for court decision appeal review and his/her access to judicial proceedings. The analysis of gaps concerning the subject of appeal was also carried out. It is concluded with reason that such gaps arise due to the disadvantageous legislative determining of the issues which are allowed to appeal procedure. In the course of the research attention is drawn to the fact that the criminal procedural legislature furthermore contains other gaps in the rulemaking of court decisions appeal. In particular they concern the appeal procedure itself, implementation of the rights of its participants and some other issues. By way of illustration of the given type of gap it is indicated that the opportunity of implementation of the right to appeal for those persons who are directly granted with it by the law may be complicated due to the shortage of the actual opportunity to appeal against the judgment, in light of the high requirements for its content and format, advanced by the domestic lawmaking body. In the article motions considering eliminating and overcoming the enlisted legislative defects are formulated.

Authors: Zhuravlev Denis
Published: June 2021

The current crisis and the accelerated economic development both require new methods and technologies in order to plan the development of socio-economic and business entities. Digital transformation proved extremely effective in improving economic performance. Digital transformation requires an executable strategy that can help the economy to reach the target state by distributing available resources in priority areas. The economic system is ready for digital transformation if it possesses an appropriate external environment. The article introduces an authentic approach to the analysis of the processes at the core of the regional economy. The research featured the case of the socio-economic system of the Kemerovo region. It included a comprehensive assessment of the region’s viability in creating a favorable business environment at the early stage of digital transformation. To prevent economic stagnation, the leading regional enterprises should introduce capital-intensive technologies and conduct digital business transformation. Such poles of growth can open access to digital technologies for small and medium-sized businesses, thereby ensuring the sustainability and competitiveness of the region. New IT ecosystems are the key to successful digital transformation as they implement a systematic approach to decision-making, as well as such technologies of knowledge-driven economy as predictive analytics, artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, etc. The paper also contains recommendations for the development of a consolidated information area on a digital enterprise.
Axillary Mass Turned Out to be A Phyllodes Tumour in An Ectopic Breast Tissue– A Rare Case Report
Authors: Rahman Mohd Shafiq , Salleh Norly
Published: June 2021

Background:

Phyllodes tumours are rare fibroepithelial lesions that account for less than 1% of all breast neoplasm. However, phyllodes tumours arising from
ectopic breast tissue are even rarer, with less than 15 cases ever reported involving the axilla, vulva and groin.

Case Presentation:

A 27-year-old lady presented to the surgical clinic with left axillary swelling, measuring 5cm x 6cm. Ultrasound of the axilla revealed
heterogenous mass displacing the left axillary artery and vein medially. Excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the
diagnosis of a benign phyllodes tumour.

Conclusion:

Phyllodes tumour in ectopic breast tissue over the axilla is a rare occurrence, and our case is the fourth case ever reported. Despite its rarity,
diagnosis and treatment modalities are similar to phyllodes tumour of the breast. Regular follow-up is recommended owing to the risk of local
recurrence.

Published: June 2021

Two separate experiments were conducted to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of lac mud on flower production of rose and Chrysanthemum flowers under pot culture. Lac mud is produced during primary processing of lac to a tune of about 2.5 to 4.5% on dry and wet weight basis, respectively, of the raw material processed. Lac mud was grinded in fine particles and treated with lime (@ 25 g per kg of lac mud) followed by enriching with each of N, P and K as per treatments, and azotobacter and PSB each @ 25 g/kg of lac mud. Experimental results revealed that lac mud enriched with 0.2% N + 0.2% P2O5 + 0.2% K2O produced the highest number and weight of chrysanthemum and rose flowers which was significantly superior to all other treatments, except lac mud enriched with 0.2% N + 0.2% K2O for number and weight of rose flowers. The increase in number and weight of flowers with application of lac mud enriched with 0.2% N + 0.2% P2O5 + 0.2% K2O was 47.4 and 38.5 per cent in chrysanthemum and 25.5 and 31.7 per cent in rose over conventional method of manuring (application of vermicompost), respectively. Thus, application of lac mud for manuring in floriculture may give another diversified dimension to lac processing factories along with saving of inorganic fertilizers and improvement in soil fertility status.

The Effect of a Wordless, Animated, Social Media Video Intervention on COVID-19 Prevention: Online Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Vandormael Alain , Adam Maya , Greuel Merlin , Gates Jennifer , Favaretti Caterina , Hachaturyan Violetta , Bärnighausen Till
Published: June 2021

Background

Innovative approaches to the dissemination of evidence-based COVID-19 health messages are urgently needed to counter social media misinformation about the pandemic. To this end, we designed a short, wordless, animated global health communication video (the CoVideo), which was rapidly distributed through social media channels to an international audience.

Objective

The objectives of this study were to (1) establish the CoVideo’s effectiveness in improving COVID-19 prevention knowledge, and (2) establish the CoVideo’s effectiveness in increasing behavioral intent toward COVID-19 prevention.

Methods

In May and June 2020, we enrolled 15,163 online participants from the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain. We randomized participants to (1) the CoVideo arm, (2) an attention placebo control (APC) arm, and (3) a do-nothing arm, and presented 18 knowledge questions about preventive COVID-19 behaviors, which was our first primary endpoint. To measure behavioral intent, our second primary endpoint, we randomized participants in each arm to five list experiments.

Results

Globally, the video intervention was viewed 1.2 million times within the first 10 days of its release and more than 15 million times within the first 4 months. Knowledge in the CoVideo arm was significantly higher (mean 16.95, 95% CI 16.91-16.99) than in the do-nothing (mean 16.86, 95% CI 16.83-16.90; P<.001) arm. We observed high baseline levels of behavioral intent to perform many of the preventive behaviors featured in the video intervention. We were only able to detect a statistically significant impact of the CoVideo on one of the five preventive behaviors.

Conclusions

Despite high baseline levels, the intervention was effective at boosting knowledge of COVID-19 prevention. We were only able to capture a measurable change in behavioral intent toward one of the five COVID-19 preventive behaviors examined in this study. The global reach of this health communication intervention and the high voluntary engagement of trial participants highlight several innovative features that could inform the design and dissemination of public health messages. Short, wordless, animated videos, distributed by health authorities via social media, may be an effective pathway for rapid global health communication during health crises.

Published: June 2021

Актуальність. Проблема післяопераційної нудоти і блювання протягом тривалого часу привертає увагу фахівців різних галузей хірургії та анестезіології і на сьогодні не втратила своєї актуальності, будучи предметом активного обговорення у вітчизняній і зарубіжній літературі. Вона може стати самостійною причиною виникнення досить серйозних ускладнень післяопераційного періоду. Мета: навести результати власного дослідження використання мультимодальної малоопіоїдної анестезії як одного зі способів профілактики післяопераційної нудоти та блювання під час анестезіологічного забезпечення лапароскопічних оперативних втручань на нирках. Матеріали та методи. В дослідженні взяли участь 50 пацієнтів, яким були виконані лапараскопічні операції на нирках. Для порівняння частоти виникнення післяопераційної нудоти та блювання пацієнти були розподілені на три групи довільним методом. У групі 1 (контрольна) використовувалась мультимодальна загальна анестезія зі стандартними дозами опіоїдів, у групі 2 — мультимодальна малоопіоїдна загальна анестезія з лідокаїном, у групі 3 — мультимодальна малоопіоїдна анестезія з дексмедетомідином. Результати. Сумарна середня доза фентанілу, що була використана упродовж всього часу анестезії в контрольній групі, становила 373,3 ± 50,8 мкг (4,34 мкг/кг/год). Сумарна середня доза фентанілу, що була використана упродовж всього часу анестезії у групі 2, становила 217,39 ± 49,10 мкг (1,76 мкг/кг/год). Сумарна середня доза фентанілу, що була використана упродовж всього часу анестезії, у групі 3 становила 308,33 ± 51,49 мкг (2,44 мкг/кг/год). У групі 1 блювання в післяопераційному періоді виникло в 4 пацієнтів із 15 (26,7 % випадків), у групі 2 — в 4 пацієнтів із 23 прооперованих (17,4 % випадків), у групі 3 — в 1 пацієнта з 12 (8,3 % випадків). Висновки. В результаті порівняння частоти виникнення післяопераційної нудоти та блювання у хворих дослідних групп було встановлено, що зменшення дози періопераційного використання опіоїдів сприяє зменшенню частоти розвитку цього ускладнення, що підвищує безпеку анестезіологічного забезпечення, значно полегшує та пришвидшує реабілітацію хворих після лапароскопічного оперативного втручання на нирках.

Актуальність. Робота присвячена виявленню прогностичних маркерів при клінічному прийнятті рішень щодо проведення масивних гемотрансфузій у породіль з крововтратою. Матеріали та методи. У дослідження ввійшло 38 породіль, у яких пологи ускладнилися крововтратою. Середній вік обстежених становив 27,4 ± 4,1 року, маса — 83,3 ± 4,8 кг. Кількість первісток — 18 пацієнток (47,4 %), повторнонароджуючих — 20 породіль (52,6 %). Післяпологова крововтрата становила в середньому 1830,5 ± 622,7 мл. Усі кровотечі були зупинені згідно з чинним протоколом. Результати. Проведений аналіз продемонстрував, що такі показники, як рівень фібриногену (р = 0,0223) і лактату (р = 0,0137), мали статистичні відмінності стосовно досліджених груп з масивною гемотрансфузією і з помірним переливанням препаратів крові. Одновимірний логістичний регресійний аналіз дав відношення шансів 0,95 (95% довірчий інтервал (ДI) 0,96–0,98) для фібриногену і 1,7 (95% ДI 1,1–3,14) для лактату, а відношення шансів для шокового індексу (ШІ) становило 1,45 (95% ДI 0,46–4,52). Площа під кривими (ППК) ROC для фібриногену, лактату і ШІ — 0,805 (95% ДI 0,612–0,927), 0,722 (95% ДI 0,528–0,869) і 0,588 (95% ДI 0,381–0,780) відповідно. Граничне значення фібриногену 2,13 г/л мало чутливість і специфічність 0,91 і 0,55 відповідно. У той же час граничне значення лактату, що дорівнювало 4 ммоль/л, мало чутливість і специфічність 0,69 і 0,66 відповідно. ППК ROC для лактату була значно вище, ніж у ШІ, різниця ППК між цими показниками становила –0,134 (95% ДI від 0,275 до –0,012) (р = 0,052). Порогове значення лактату, що дорівнює 4 ммоль/л, мало чутливість і специфічність 0,69 і 0,66 відповідно, у той час як порогове значення для ШІ 1,2 мало чутливість і специфічність 0,64 і 0,35 відповідно. Висновки. Лактат виявився кращим прогностичним маркером при клінічному прийнятті рішення щодо проведення масивних гемотрансфузій порівняно з загальноприйнятим в цьому відношенні ШІ у пацієнток з післяпологовою крововтратою.

Актуальність. На сьогодні в Україні гострі отруєння наркотичними та психотропними речовинами є вкрай актуальною медико-соціальною проблемою, далекою від вирішення. Мета дослідження — аналіз випадків смертельних отруєнь наркотичними та психотропними речовинами, спрямований на пошук заходів з підвищення ефективності системи охорони здоров’я з надання медичної допомоги при гострих побутових отруєннях. Матеріали та методи. Досліджено медичні дані пацієнтів з діагнозом «гостре наркотичне отруєння» (Міжнародна класифікація хвороб 10-го перегляду: Т40.0–Т40.3); дані Державної служби статистики України та Центру медичної статистики Міністерства охорони здоров’я України; звіти бюро судово-медичних експертиз. Лабораторні дослідження здійснено за допомогою імунохроматографічного аналізу і хромато-мас-спектрометрії (прилад — Aligent 6850/5973N, колонка — HP-5MS). Використана програма Statistica 12.6 (Windows 10/7). Результати. За 2015–2019 рр. в лабораторії Київського токсикологічного центру було виявлено більше 40 груп речовин, що призвели до гострих отруєнь, а кількість позитивних тестів зросла в 2,3 раза. Лідерами в структурі наркотиків визначені метадон, героїн і морфін. За 2014–2018 рр. в Україні зареєстровано 1365 смертей внаслідок отруєнь наркотичними та психотропними речовинами, зокрема у 2018 році — 399 випадків, 90,5 % становили чоловіки (361 випадок) та 9,5 % — жінки (38 випадків). Серед 355 випадків смертей отруєння опіоїдами становили 153 (кодеїн та морфін — 54 випадки (43,1 %), метадон — 76 випадків (21,4 %), опій — 15 випадків (4,2 %), синтетичні опіоїди — 8 випадків (2,3 %)). Серед 144 випадків смертей від отруєнь іншими наркотиками 31 (21,5 %) — отруєння психодислептиками (галюциногенами), 2 (1,4 %) — отруєння кокаїном та 5 (3,5 %) — отруєння психостимуляторами. Кількість смертей у 2018 році порівняно з даними 2017 року зросла в 1,5 раза, отруєння метадоном — у 2,5 раза, а отруєння неідентифікованими наркотиками — у 3 рази. В Україні у 2018 році частота смертей, пов’язаних зі вживанням наркотичних та психотропних речовин, та отруєнь ними серед населення віком від 15 до 64 років становила 10 осіб на кожен 1 000 000 населення. Висновки. Результати досліджень, здійснених різними державними установами в період 2014–2019 рр., свідчать про загрозливу динаміку збільшення як числа випадків отруєнь наркотичними та психотропними речовинами, так і збільшення їх різноманіття, наслідком чого є прогресивне зростання показників летальності і смертності, переважно серед населення чоловічої статі віком 25–44 років.

Published: June 2021

Children’s Online Privacy Protection is a form of protection for all information attached to a child such as: a name, address, photo, video, and other related information pointing to the children. In Indonesia, the regulation of a child’s personal data does not create adequate protection. In reality, many children’s personal data are spread on social media and other various platforms that children access and as a result, the child’s personal data can be accessed and used for marketing purposes and/or other exploitation. As a legal subject, a child cannot protect themselves not only from various purposes of online business models designed by online platforms, but also from other people that may have bad intentions. In a global context, standardization becomes a necessity as both a measuring instrument and guidance for other countries to follow. The problem is, some of the measurements need to be adjusted with national law to comply with the set of local standards. Some of the first countries that have already regulated children’s privacy are found within the European Union (EU), UK and U.S. This research describes the scope of child protection standards and match them with Indonesian positive law. The research method of this research use doctrinal legal research to collect and to analyze legal material regarding two main concepts, namely: child protection regulation and information regulation. As a result, it is found that there is no legal mechanism that guarantees the protection of children’s personal data in Indonesia. It is suggested that Indonesian parliament and the President immediately revise the Child Protection Act and /or Electronic Transaction and Information Act.

O artigo analisa eventos de divulgação científica realizados por uma Instituição Científica e Tecnológica (ICT) federal brasileira, constituída como Unidade de Pesquisa (UP) do Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovações (MCTI). Foram levantadas, por meio de pesquisa documental, atividades presenciais realizadas no período 2015–2019. Os resultados indicam que a instituição realizou número expressivo de eventos focados principalmente no público escolar. Parcerias com outras entidades locais, principalmente públicas, potencializaram as práticas. A principal abordagem foi de caráter instrucional, mas também houve atividades dialógicas. Conclui-se que essas últimas devem ser estimuladas, pois propiciam mais engajamento com a coletividade. Considera-se, ainda, que a política pública deve contemplar as UPs do MCTI como parceiras permanentes na popularização da ciência.

Published: June 2021

Asam organik adalah asam yang berasal dari bahan-bahan organik sehingga pemakaiannya relatif tidak berbahaya bagi ternak, pekerja kandang dan lingkungan sekitar. Suplementasi ransum dengan senyawa asam organik tidak hanya menurunkan pH saluran pencernaan tetapi juga berpengaruh positif terhadap kecernaan protein dan penurunan kadar bakteri pathogen..  Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh suplementasi asam organik dalam ransum  mengandung Bungkil Inti Sawit (BIS) terhadap konsumsi ransum, konsumsi protein, protein efisiensi ratio (PER), dan retensi Nitrogen pada ayam broiler. Sebanyak  160 ekor DOC Strain Cobb digunakan dalam penelitian ini. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan  adalah  Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 5 ulangan. Perlakuan yang diterapkan  adalah  R0 (Ransum dasar),  R1 (Ransum dasar + Asam Organik 0,5%, R2 (Ransum dasar + BIS 15%),  R3 (Ransum + BIS 15% + Asam Organik 0,5 %). Peubah yang diamati yaitu konsumsi ransum, konsumsi protein, PER dan retensi Nitrogen. Data  dianalisis menggunakan analisis  ragam (ANOVA), jika berpengaruh nyata dilanjutkan   dengan uji jarak berganda Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Suplementasi asam organik dalam ransum yang mengandung BIS berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) terhadap konsumsi ransum, konsumsi protein, dan PER, tetapi tidak nyata  (P>0.05) terhadap retensi nitrogen. Hasil penelitian  dapat disimpulkan bahwa suplementasi asam organik dalam ransum mengandung  BIS mampu meningkatkan konsumsi ransum, konsumsi protein, dan PER namun belum mampu meningkatkan retensi Nitrogen
A multi-objective approach to select hydrological models and constrain structural uncertainties for climate impact assessments
Authors: Saavedra Danny , Mendoza Pablo , Addor Nans , Llauca Harold , Vargas Ximena
Published: June 2021

The assessment of climate change impacts on water resources and flood
risk is typically underpinned by hydrological models calibrated and
selected based on observed streamflow records. Yet, changes in climate
are rarely accounted for when selecting hydrological models, which
compromises their ability to robustly represent future changes in
catchment hydrology. In this paper, we test a simple framework for
selecting an ensemble of calibrated hydrological model structures in
catchments where changing climatic conditions have been observed. We
start by considering 78 model structures produced using the FUSE modular
modelling framework and rely on a Pareto scheme to select model
structures maximizing model efficiency in both wet and dry periods. The
application of this approach in three case study basins in Peru enables
the identification of structures with good robustness, but also good
performance according to hydrological signatures not used for model
selection. We also highlight that some model structures that perform
well according to traditional efficiency metrics have low performance in
contrasting climates or suspicious internal states and fluxes.
Importantly, the model selection approach followed here helps to reduce
the spread in precipitation elasticities and temperature sensitivities,
providing a clearer picture of future hydrological changes. Overall,
this work demonstrates the potential of using contrasting climatic
conditions in a multi-objective framework to produce robust and credible
simulations, and to constrain structural uncertainties in hydrological
projections.
