An unknown source of the participation of St Job (Ezekiel) Knyahynytsky in the Embassy of the Vatopedi Monastery of Athos in 1592
Authors: Shumylo Serhii
Published: December 2023

The purpose of the publication is to introduce into scientific circulation documents that reveal and supplement, in a new way, the evidence about the life and work of the Ukrainian ascetic, church and cultural figure and Saint Job (Ezekiel) Kniahynycky (ca. 1550–1621), in particular, about the Athos period of his biography and foreign travels as part of the embassies of the Vatopedi Monastery. The methodological foundations of the study are based on the principles of historicism, scientific objectivity, systematicity, and a dialectical approach to historical phenomena. In accordance with the goal and objectives, a combination of general scientific, interdisciplinary, and special research methods was used. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that for the first time the documents from the case of the arrival of the delegation of the Vatopedi Monastery from the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to Smolensk in 1592, consisting of the ecclesiarch and elder Gerasimus, and the monks Ezekiel and Jonikiy, were introduced into scientific circulation. Based on the analysis of the entries in these documents, as well as the analysis of the 1596 marks in the manuscript Slavic Gospel-tetra from the library of the Vatopedi Monastery (Slavic 1), it is established that the monk Ezekiel of Vatopedi mentioned in them is the same Ezekiel Kniahynytsky, who later took the monastic vows with the name Job and contributed to the revival and reform of Orthodox monasticism in the western Ukrainian lands. It is emphasised that the document confirms the authenticity of the record in the life of Job Knyahynytsky, written after his death by his disciple Ignatii of Liubarov. The analysis of the entries in these documents, as well as the notes in the late 14th-century manuscript Slavic Gospeltetra, which is kept in the library of Vatopedi, allows us to more accurately date the time of Knyahynytsky’s stay in the Vatopedi monastery. It is established that another monk, Sava, lived there with him. The author suggests that another well-known Ukrainian church and cultural figure and polemic writer, St John Vyshensky, may have stayed with them for some time at the Vatopedi Monastery. It is noted that at the end of the 16th century, a group of Ukrainian monks-scribes probably operated at the Vatopedi Monastery. Later on, the author observes the establishment of closer ties between the Vatopedi Monastery, and the Ukrainian Orthodox monasticism and the Cossacks.

The article deals with legal problems that arise due to an imbalance in the ratio of the patient's right to medical secrecy and the right of a medical organization to protection. In the event of a conflict situation with a patient, a medical organization without the consent of the patient is not entitled to involve lawyers or experts to study medical documentation. This approach deprives medical organizations of the right to full and effective protection, including in criminal cases. Based on the results of the analysis of the current legislation of the Russian Federation and judicial practice, the authors propose mechanisms for resolving problems that allow medical organizations to legally disclose medical secrecy in order to protect themselves, thereby preventing the growth of illegal acts.

The relevance. Eastern Siberia is a region with large raw material resources that plays a crucial role in development of Russian oil and gas complex. Since the 1970s, active exploration for hydrocarbons has been underway in the Nepsko-Botuobinskaya Anteclise. One of the main targets for development are terrigenous Vendian deposits, in which up to half of the region hydrocarbon reserves are concentrated. Therefore, for optimal development of the fields confined to them, a detailed study of lithological factors of formation of terrigenous reservoirs is required. The main aim. Lithological and facies analysis is used to reconstruct and trace the evolution of sedimentation conditions of the Yarakta productive horizon of the Nepa Formation. Objects. Terrigenous deposits of the Yarakta productive horizon of the Upper Nepa subformation of the Upper Vendian Formation, uncovered by deep drilling in the area of the Yarakta field. Methods. Mineralogical-petrographic study of core material, facial analysis of lithological rock types, correlation. Results. The Yarakta productive horizon was formed during Late Nepa time. At that time, there was a partly subaerial and to a greater extent subaerial delta plain (lower delta plain) within the tidal plain. It is assumed to be a delta of advancement on a coast dominated by tidal activity and to a lesser extent by wave activity (mixed type of coast). In the subsequent transgression, in the late Nepean time (upper part of the strata), a bar system began to form in place of the delta plain with the bars advancing toward the coastline in the northwestern direction. The bars had an elongated lentil-shaped shape along the conditional coastline. During the formation of the bars, due to the active wave and tidal activity, the sediments carried out by the delta were redeposited and re-sorted. At the Late Nepa and Early Tertiary boundary, the entire area was a shallow intertidal and terrigenous sebha (lagoon) with clay-siltstone sediments and sulfate-carbonate inclusions in them; sometimes, sandy sediments of small intertidal channels or sandbanks are noted in them. Improved filtration-capacitative properties are associated with the facies of distributary subaquatic channels and large (active) tidal channels.
INTERPRETIVE STUDY: THE MEANING OF RAHN GOLD ACCOUNTING PRACTICE IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF IMAM BUKHARI AND MUSLIM HADITH
Authors: Wahidahwati Wahidahwati , Agustin Yuliana , Handayani Nur , Muhammad Mazlina
Published: December 2023

This research aims to determine the accounting treatment of Sharia gold pawn products at Sharia Pegadaian, which is measured by the hadith perspective of Imam Al-Bukhari. Furthermore, those used as references include the story of Armor, rides or vehicles, and the story of the Ansar men. The research method used in this research is a case study approach. The case study focuses on the accounting treatment of gold Rahn transactions from the beginning of the contract to the end of the contract. The research results show that the contracts used in Sharia Pawnshops use Rahn contracts, qardh contracts, and ijarah contracts. However, in practice, several things are not under Imam Al-Bukhari's hadith, namely loans for qardh financing, the determination of administrative costs based on the size of the loan, the classification of ijarah discount rates as a percentage, and the combination of qardh and ijarah contracts. The practices following Imam Al-Bukhari's hadith are the ijarah fee system, full payment, and auction. It is recommended that in qardh financing, the customer (rahin) be given a loan of more than 95% of the value of the gold at that time. The costs incurred by the customer must calculate Sharia pawnshop administration costs. Ijarah discounts should not be measured as a percentage, and they must be measured in nominal terms to avoid speculation. Furthermore, customers must receive justice if they borrow some funds so that they do not use two contracts in one transaction.

En Basse-Casamance, la présence des arbres dans les zones d’habitations est assez remarquable. Ces arbres se présentent de manière isolée (arbres domestiques ou arbres champêtres) ou en groupement (espaces boisés sacrés). Les communautés locales essentiellement constituées par l’ethnie Diola entretiennent des rapports étroits avec certains arbres ayant généralement des valeurs alimentaires, socioéconomiques ou socioculturelles. Cet article présente ainsi une étude sur l’espèce Ceiba pentandra, un arbre emblématique, dans la Commune de Kartiack, Ziguinchor (Sénégal), en mettant en évidence ses fonctions socioculturelles. L’approche méthodologie retenue à cet effet, est fondée trois étapes. D’abord une revue documentaire permettant de faire l’état de lieux sur la production scientifique en rapport avec Ceiba pentandra. Ensuite, la collecte de données de terrains à concerner deux aspects. Le premier est consacré à l’inventaire des fromagers (Ceiba pentandra) dans les villages en appliquant la méthode du « tour de champ ». Le deuxième aspect est relatif à l’enquête auprès des populations. Un échantillon de 102 ménages correspondant à 10% de la taille totale des ménages dans chaque village. Un questionnaire a été administré à l’ensemble des cibles et un guide d’entretien a été utilisé pour interroger les personnes ressources. Le traitement et l’analyse des données ont été réalisés à l’aide d’outils adaptés comme Excel et KoBoToolBox (données d’enquête), QGIS 3.16 (données cartographiques). Les résultats montrent que la Commune de Kartiack dispose d’un potentiel non négligeable de Ceiba pentandra avec un total de 185 pieds. Le peuplement de Ceiba pentandra est plus important dans le village de Thiobon avec 40% de l’effectif total, suivi de Kartiack avec 24% et Dianki avec 20%. Les individus vieillissants ont la plus importante proportion avec des valeurs supérieures à 60% pour les villages de Bessire, Kartiack et Thiobon, tandis que la plus faible proportion est celle des individus jeunes. La moitié des individus recensés présente des circonférences comprises entre 5 et 20 m, avec une plus grande concentration entre 11 à 15 m. Enfin, il est mis en avant l’importance de cette espèce dans les pratiques socio-culturelles des populations locales, notamment dans les cimetières et les bois sacrés.

Published: December 2023

Food loss and waste (FLW) is a significant global challenge, and the dairy sector is an important contributor to the problem. There are a number of management options available to utilise dairy FLW in a close-looped system, particularly for developed dairy chains. In this chapter, we identify the dairy FLW management options for diversion and transformation into co-products. The Food Waste Hierarchy provides guidance about preferred food waste management practices. The challenge for individual businesses is identifying the most suitable options for their unique situation, taking into consideration their own goals regarding economic, environmental and social sustainability. Decision support tools (DSTs) may have a role in helping decision-makers consider multiple trade-offs and benefits from FLW options. There are several DSTs available to decision-makers in the dairy sector. This chapter provides a short summary of how DSTs can support dairy businesses to manage FLW and recommendations for the requirements to co-design unique DSTs that suit the needs of end-users across the chain and enable full closed-loop dairy production.
New approaches for determining the nutritional value of pig feed
Authors:   University of Minnesota, Shurson Gerald C.
Published: December 2023

Precision feed formulation is a key component of precision feeding programs that requires accurate, dynamic assessment of numerous nutrients and chemical compounds that have positive (functional nutrients) and negative (anti-nutritional) effects on health, efficiency, and productivity of pigs. Recent review articles and studies have described the advantages and disadvantages of various analytical and in vivo methods for determining energy and nutrient composition and digestibility, physicochemical properties of dietary fiber, digestion kinetics, and physical characteristics associated with the nutritional value of feed ingredients. Prediction equations and models to dynamically estimate the nutritional value of feed ingredients are summarized. Determination of several anti-nutritional compounds and various functional nutrients and compounds must be considered when assessing the overall nutritional value of feed ingredients because of their effects on energy and nutrient utilization efficiency and animal health. Life cycle assessment data of feed ingredients also influence nutritional value when used as constraints in multi-objective feed formulation.
Legal Categorization and Implications of the Placement of the Notary Profession in the Indonesian Standard Business Classification
Authors: Pratama Anugrah Haryata
Published: December 2023

Article 1 point 1 of Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Office of a Notary Public explains that a Notary is a public official authorized to make authentic deeds in accordance with the Law on the Position of a Notary Public and other laws. From the other side, the regulation of the Head of the Central Bureau of Statistics Number 2 of 2020 concerning the Indonesian Standard Business Classification whose purpose is to classify economic activities in Indonesia states that Notaries are categorized together with other business actors in code 69104. Mention of Notaries in Indonesian Standard Business Classification's efforts to make Notaries able to move into entrepreneurs in accordance with the title of classification number 69104" Activities of Notaries and Land Deed Officials " whose categorization is the same as other business actors so that makes the author interested in researching this matter. Based on the case above, there are two formulations of the problem, namely: How is the placement of implications arising from the position of a Notary Public categorized as self-employed according to the Regulation of the Head of the Central Bureau of Statistics Number 2 of 2020 concerning the Indonesian Standard Business Classification; How is the harmonization between Law Number 30 of 2004 concerning the Position of Notary Public and the Regulation of the Head of the Central Statistics Agency Number 2 of 2020 concerning the Indonesian Standard Business Classification. The research method that the author uses is normative juridical by studying the law and then clashing between laws and regulations.Keywords: Notary, Enterpreneur, Categorization, Legal Implications, Placement of Notary Profession, Indonesian Standard Business Classification

Authors: Nugroho Amelia
Published: December 2023

Before a Land Deed Official make a land sale and purchase deed so that a transfer of rights over land and buildings can arise, he/she must carry out tax payment services by the parties. This is sometimes different from the reality, in which in making a sale and purchase deed the Land Deed Official commits an act of manipulating the tax price to be less than the actual sale and purchase price. The research method used in this legal research is normative. The data used in this legal research is secondary data. The results of research in writing this law are that there are still Land Deed Making Officials in making sale and purchase deeds who openly suggest reducing the value of land transactions to as small as possible for service users with the aim of ensuring that the tax costs paid by the parties are not large. Therefore, the Land Deed Official must bear the sanctions in the form of administrative sanctions, civil sanctions and criminal sanctions.Keywords: Tax Violations, Land Deed Official, Land Sale and Purchase Deed.

Dietary behavior is essential to diabetes self-management in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Understanding factors influencing diabetes self-management will help in designing appropriate intervention. The study aims to determine the effect of psychosocial on dietary behavior. This study was an analytical observational with a cross-sectional design. The sample size was 138 respondents recruited with multistage random sampling. Psychosocial factors were identified using; 1) Spoken Knowledge in Low Literacy patients with Diabetes Scale, 2) The Coping Scale, 3) Diabetes Distress Scale, 4) Hensarling Diabetes Family Support Scale, 5) Perceived nurse support questionnaire, while dietery behaviour was measured by Self-Management Dietary Behaviors Questionnaire. Data analysis used multiple linear regression. Among five psychosocial factors only two factors influenced dietary behaviour, such as; distress and perceived family support (p=0.004; p=0.001 < α=0.05). Meanwhile, knowledge, coping, and perceived nurse support did not affect diabetes diet (p=0.133; p=0.527; p=0.535 > α=0.05) with R2 = 0.275 (F=11.148; p=0.001 <α=0.05). Distress and perceived family support are two psychosocial factors that can affect dietary behavior. Preventing the occurrence of distress and increasing family support are important to improve dietary behavior adherence in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Smoking exposure among pregnant women is correlated with the risk of low birth weight. The policy factors are believed to contribute to the rate or prevalence of smoking activities. This study aims to simultaneously portray the incidence of low-birth-weight newborns correlated with smoking exposure. The samples were 160 respondents, with 57 and 103 respondents in Hospital A and G respectively. A mixed-method analysis was utilized by combining a retrospective approach to identify the key findings and be equipped with a narrative analysis of the socio-demographic - law enforcement process. The Spearman correlation analysis was used for investigating correlation among variables. Spearman correlation test smoking exposure per day in minutes (rho= -0.595, p<0.001) and the number of smokers (rho= -0.621, p<0.001) for Hospital A, and smoking exposure per day in minutes (rho= -0.681, p<0.001) and the number of smokers (rho= -0.613, p<0.001) for Hospital G. It implied a strong correlation of inverse relationship among those variables. Smoke-free law enforcement is a key point to address, aiming at vulnerable group protection, including pregnant mothers and babies. The local government should consider the effects affected by smoking behavior in the community.

The increase in cases of global environmental pollution due to plastic waste makes the development of biodegradable active packaging very urgent. Gelatin (G), is one of the potential edible film raw materials. However, its weak water barrier and mechanical properties have limited its wide application. The addition of chitosan nanofiber (CHNF) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONP) is expected to improve the mechanical and barrier properties and present antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to the G film. Characterization results using FTIR, SEM, and DSC showed good compatibility between the G, CHNF, and ZnONP matrix. Meanwhile, the packaging test results confirmed that gelatin, CHNF, and ZnONP-based composite films have the potential to be used as functional materials in food packaging.

Research on the chemical and physical characteristics of natural and acid-activated clay from Hatu Village had been carried out using FTIR, XRD, XRF, SEM-EDX, TEM, and BET surface area analyzer instruments. The natural clay had activated with 0.25 M sulfuric acid for 3 hours using the reflux method, then calcined with 700 Watt microwave radiation for 10 minutes. Overall, FTIR data show tetrahedral and octahedral functional groups that create clay minerals. There is a decrease in absorption intensity due to acid's influence, which dissolves cations in the octahedral and interlayer clay. The XRD analysis shows the Hatu natural clay contains montmorillonite, alumina, kaolinite, quartz, and illite minerals. Broadening and decreasing the intensity of diffraction peaks due to treatment by acid and calcination. SEM images of natural clay before and after activation-calcination shows the morphology of porous and layered material, while the mapping of the surface of natural clay shows irregular and rough material topography. The EDX spectra showed four elements with the most extensive composition: O, Si, Al, and Fe. XRF data confirmed three components that have the highest mass percent, namely SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3. Dealumination occurs at 0.95% due to activation by sulfuric acid along with calcination. TEM images clearly show the multilayered silicate materials. The higher nitrogen gas uptake by activated-calcinated natural clay is proportional to the large surface area and total pore volume.

Jeruju (Acanthus ilicifolius) leaves ethanol extract contains flavonoids that function as an antiinflammatory source. So it is necessary to research to increase the utilization of ethanol extract of Acanthus ilicifolius leaves (A. ilicifolius L.)  in encapsulations to increase the stability of antiinflammatory chemical compounds. Concentrated dyestuff extracts are often unstable, so they need to be converted into solid form, and one technique that can be done is encapsulation. Encapsulation aims to protect sensitive components of the material and reduce the degradation of active compounds in the material. The research method begins with preparing samples to be extracted with ethanol solvent, extract phytochemical screening tests, validation determination tests for the analysis method of ethanol extract levels of jeruju leaves, encapsulated formulations, encapsulated physics and chemical properties test and anti-inflammatory tests. In this research, the secondary metabolite compounds contained in the ethanol extract of Jeruju Leaves were flavonoids, phenolics, steroids, and saponins. The determination of the validation of the analysis method of ethanol extract levels of jeruju leaves was obtained by measurement using a UV-vis spectrophotometer and obtained extract levels of 1367,831 mg/g. This research used maltodextrin coating material for encapsulation formulation because it has low viscosity in many ratios, high solubility, has no taste. The freeze-dryer method was used in this study because it produces better drying quality than other drying methods. The physical property test was carried out by analysis using FTIR and SEM while the chemical properties of encapsulation obtained the highest yield proportion of 58.81%, and the highest solubility proportion of 98.76%. Anti-inflammatory testing is carried out using male mice as test animals. Anti-inflammatory testing in mice based on the Rat hind paw oedema method. The average percent inhibition of each dose administered is calculated based on the data results. The high average percent inhibition obtained for Diclofenac Na is 80%. In the research Encapsule 1:12, the 120 mg/KgBW dose had a significant percentage of inhibition of 75.55%, with Na Diclofenac dose of 10 mg/KgBW being 80%.
