Maritime Trade and Economic Development: A Granger Causality and Bound Test Approach.
Authors: Osadume Richard , Blessing Uzoma, C.
Published: November 2020

This paper investigates Maritime trade and economic development: A granger causality and Bound test approach. Most scholars believe that maritime trade openness will transform economy into a developed nation while some disagree. The main objective of this research is to examine the relationship between maritime trade and economic development; specifically, to ascertain whether maritime trade granger-causes economic development; and to determine whether there is a co-integration between maritime trade and economic development. The study used secondary data obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria and the United Nations development Programme, and tested the effect of independent variables on a dependent variable. The variables were tested using Stationarity, heteroskedasticity, Ramsey reset, granger-causality and ARDL Bounds test at the 5% level of significance. The findings revealed that maritime trade proxy by trade openness had a significant effect on economic development captured by HDI and the ARDL Bound test showed a significant effect of trade openness on economic development. The study concludes that maritime trade granger-causes economic development with a Bi-directional causal relationship and significant co-integration exists between them; and recommends among others the provision of conducive environment and cheap funding by the government to encourage the growth of maritime trade.

Authors: Szumska Emilia , Frej Damian , Grabski Paweł
Published: November 2020

The article presents the general characteristics of road transport safety in Poland over the years 2009-2019. The key objective of this study was to investigate the main factors of road accidents in Poland. Up till now, the number of road accidents has been analysed in detail on the basis of data on collisions from rear, side and frontal perspective. Moreover, in the article, statistics regarding the number of perpetrators of accidents by gender and age are summarized, as well as dynamics aspects of changes related to new passenger vehicles and trucks in Poland in 2009-2019 are indicated. As a result, the intensity of rear collisions rather than frontal collisions is apparent. Hence, an inconspicuous rear collision by not braking a speeding vehicle carries a risk of the upper cervical spine.
Management of Urban and Regional Rail: Case Study Bucharest
Authors: Bădău Florin , Abramović Borna , Cormoș Angel Ciprian , Iordache Valentin
Published: November 2020

The capital of Romania is the main railway hub of the country. As such, the railway network around the capital is quite extensive, with main cities around it being directly connected by rail. Despite this, there are no regular train services for commuters, similar to other large European cities. This paper aims to analyze the current state of railway passenger transport in the region surrounding Bucharest, to highlight the weaknesses of the network and to present a guideline for the implementation of an efficient commuter service. 100 stations in and around the city were evaluated with regard to their degree of accessibility (DoA), defined as the location of the station relative to the nearest settlement. Train frequency, travel times and journey costs were determined for each line originating in Bucharest. These variables were compared to their road equivalents to highlight the differences between these two modes of transport. Low train frequency and the remoteness of many stations were determined to be the main obstacles in establishing an appropriate commuter service. Reworking future timetables to prioritize commuter trains is proposed as a short-term solution, while line improvements and better integration with existing public transport are set as priorities.
Municipal splits and hidden amalgamations in Hungary
Authors: Dobos Gábor
Published: November 2020

In 1990, a decentralized local government system was introduced in Hungary. One of the main issues of the system was fragmentation at local level. This paper examines the attempts made by the central government to deal with this issue in the last thirty years. First, the study analyses the municipal splits and maps the dynamics, the reasons, and the environmental and political factors affecting these secessions. Second, it examines the government’s attempts at reform to reduce the effects of fragmentation.

The paper argues that the Fidesz-KDNP electoral victory in 2010 was a milestone in the handling of territorial issues: municipal splits became virtually impossible with the new regulation of the secession process, and de facto territorial consolidation reform was carried out through alteration of the local electoral system and functional rescaling and merging of the mayors’ offices.
Using GMT for 2D and 3D Modeling of the Ryukyu Trench Topography, Pacific Ocean
Authors: Lemenkova Polina
Published: November 2020

This research focuses on the 2D and 3D geospatial analysis of the Ryukyu Trench, a deep-sea trench located in the western Pacific Ocean between Japan and Taiwan. The aim of the research is to visualize regional differences in the topography of the southern (S) and northern (N) parts of the trench. Technically, the methodology is based on using the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) scripting toolset, for modelling the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO), and Earth Topography and Bathymetry dataset (ETOPO1) raster grids. The results demonstrated topographic differences in the two segments. The most frequent depths lie between −5,000 and −6,000 m. The N part has steeper gradient slopes and deeper bathymetry. Of the depth differences >−6,000 m, S has nine values with depths >−6,800 m while N shows 123 records (max −7,460 m). The submarine terraces of S have gentler slopes compared with the N segment. The technical approach presents GMT-based 2D and 3D cartographic modelling aimed at visualizing regional variations of the seafloor topography.

Authors: Senol Sebnem , Akyol Emel
Published: November 2020

The purpose of the present investigation was to prepare pH-sensitive hydrogels from photo-crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEG-DA). Rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) was employed to modify the PEG-DA hydrogels. The rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by direct oxidation of titanium in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) at high temperature. The nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. The influence of experimental conditions, such as pH, type and amount of photoinitiators on the release profiles of donepezil hydrochloride (active pharmaceutical ingredient for Alzheimer disease) from modified PEG-DA hydrogels, was investigated. The drug release processes were analyzed kinetically using zero-order, first-order, Hixson-Crowell and Peppas models.

Authors: Bălănescu Paul , Bălănescu Anca , Bălănescu Eugenia , Băicuş Cristian
Published: November 2020

Background. Systemic sclerosis (Ssc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by graduate cutaneous and tissue fibrosis development and irreversible fibroproliferative vascular changes.

The aim of the current systematic review was to update the list of proteomic candidate biomarkers identified from Ssc samples with mass spectrometry techniques.

Methods. Medline and Scopus databases were searched on 1st September 2020. Relevant articles were searched from March 2014 until September 2020. Two independent reviewers evaluated the retrieved articles.

Results. From a total of 97 articles, 9 articles were included in the final analysis summarizing 539 candidate proteomic biomarkers from various samples from Ssc patients (a larger number compared to the previous systematic review). Most biomarkers were identified from cutaneous biopsies. Only 5 articles included a validation step of the findings with only 13 biomarkers being validated.

Conclusions. Although many candidate biomarkers were additionally identified, independent validation studies are needed in order to evaluate the importance of these biomarkers for Ssc patients.
Numerical analysis of tailing dam with calibration based on genetic algorithm and geotechnical monitoring data
Authors: Grosel Szczepan
Published: November 2020

The article presents a method of calibration of material parameters of a numerical model based on a genetic algorithm, which allows to match the calculation results with measurements from the geotechnical monitoring network. This method can be used for the maintenance of objects managed by the observation method, which requires continuous monitoring and design alterations. The correctness of the calibration method has been verified on the basis of artificially generated data in order to eliminate inaccuracies related to approximations resulting from the numerical model generation. Using the example of the tailing dam model the quality of prediction of the selected measurement points was verified. Moreover, changes of factor of safety values, which is an important indicator for designing this type of construction, were analyzed. It was decided to exploit the case of dam of reservoir, which is under continuous construction, that is dam height is increasing constantly, because in this situation the use of the observation method is relevant.
Opposing Forces? Intergenerational Social Mobility and the Transmission of Political Ideology
Authors: Van Ditmars Mathilde M.
Published: November 2020

This study investigates the consequences of intergenerational social mobility for the transmission of political ideology from parents to adult children, taking the parental ideology explicitly into account. Analyses using German and Swiss household data show that especially the vertically upwardly mobile are less influenced by the parental ideology. However, longitudinal analyses do not indicate causal effects, but a self-selection mechanism into social mobility. These findings have consequences for the perception of social mobility effects.
Old-Age Trajectories of Life Satisfaction. Do Singlehood and Childlessness Hurt More When People Get Older?
Authors: Mikucka Małgorzata
Published: November 2020

This paper analyses trajectories of life satisfaction among elderly people in various family situations and tests whether the disadvantage related to being single or childless increases (as predicted by cumulative (dis)advantage hypothesis) or reduces (consistently with age-as-leveler hypothesis) when people get older. The results show that the disadvantage of never married mothers grows with age, whereas the disadvantage of divorced people reduces with age. The study suggests that, in general, the increasing probability of ageing without close kin does not put at risk life satisfaction of elderly people.
Does Subjective Well-Being Affect Political Participation?
Authors: Lindholm Annika
Published: November 2020

Subjective well-being (SWB) has been positively correlated with political activity, however the causality of the effect remains debated. By estimating within-individual effects, I show that SWB decreases protest intentions, while its effect on voting is not significant. Despite the mutual influence between SWB and protest, the results suggest that the influence of SWB on protesting is stronger than the reverse effect, thereby setting an agenda for future research in this domain.
The Curious Case of the Grumpy Union Member
Authors: Hadziabdic Sinisa
Published: November 2020

Relying on the data of the Swiss Household Panel, the paper aims to make sense of the puzzling dissatisfaction union members exhibit in most dimensions of their job. A longitudinal approach reveals that the dissatisfaction is to a large extent explained by contextual and individual time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity. A decline in job satisfaction is for many workers the main reason to join a union. Job satisfaction climbs back as the years of membership increase, which confirms that unions do indeed have positive effects on the professional well-being of their members.
Overview of Successful Family Language Policy Strategies
Authors: Ančlauskaitė Jolita
Published: November 2020

In today's world, when the global movement occurs, there are more and more mixed families interacting in two or more languages. Children born in such families have the opportunity to learn the mother tongues of both parents and become bilingual or multilingual. Whether this can work often depends on the family language policy. The latter is often influenced by a variety of factors, therefore its success depends not only on internal choices, but also partly on external factors. This article provides an overview of research by various authors, which present family language policy strategies. The aim of the study is to find the factors that determine the choice of those strategies and their success. The study revealed that family language policies are influenced both by the family's internal choices, for example, the desire that the children would know the language of one parent or both parents, that they would talk to relatives, would know parents’ culture through language, and by external factors, such as the norms of the society in which they live, integration processes or the conditions for learning the language. A key element in determining the success of family language policy is the consistent adherence to one or more of the strategies chosen.
The concept of motivation for effective credit risk management
Authors: Pomazanov M.V.
Published: November 2020

Subject. The study addresses the improvement of risk management efficiency and the quality of lending decisions made by banks.
Objectives. The aim is to present the bank management with a fair algorithm for risk management motivation on the one hand, and the credit management (business) on the other hand. Within the framework of the common goal to maximize risk-adjusted income from loans, this algorithm will provide guidelines for ‘risk management’ and ‘business’ functions on how to improve individual and overall efficiency.
Methods. The study employs the discriminant analysis, type I and II errors, Lorentz curve modeling, statistical analysis, economic modeling.
Results. The paper offers a mechanism for assessing the quality of risk management decisions as opposed to (or in support of) decisions of the lending business when approving transactions. The mechanism rests on the approach of stating type I and II errors and the corresponding classical metric of the Gini coefficient. On the ‘business’ side, the mechanism monitors the improvement or deterioration of the indicator of changes in losses in comparison with the market average.
Conclusions. The study substantiates the stimulating ‘rules of the game’ between the ‘business’ and ‘risk management’ to improve the efficiency of the entire business, to optimize interactions within the framework of internal competition. It presents mathematical tools to calculate corresponding indicators of the efficiency of internally competing entities.

Kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memfasilitasi jalur saluran AC, saluran pipa, jaringan kabel dan lain-lain. Dengan adanya bukaan pada balok tinggi dapat memberikan beberapa efek samping yaitu terjadinya diskontinuitas geometri, tegangan terdistribusi non-linier pada balok tinggi, berkurangnya kekuatan dari balok, dan timbulnya konsentrasi tegangan di sekitar bukaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efek dari kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi di atas dua perletakan (sendi-rol) dan dibebani beban terpusat di tengah bentang balok lalu memvariasikan bentuk bukaan (persegi, persegi panjang, dan lingkaran) dan lokasi bukaan. Tegangan lentur pada balok tinggi dan konsentrasi tegangan yang terjadi di sekitar bukaan merupakan hal yang akan dibahas dalam penelitian. Analisis akan dibantu dengan Midas FEA yang merupakan program berbasis elemen hingga dan  pemodelan dilakukan dengan elemen solid tiga dimensi. Hasil dari analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran bukaan pada balok tinggi menyebabkan kenaikan tegangan secara signifikan. Lokasi dari bukaan yang mendekati daerah tengah bentang balok juga sangat mempengaruhi besarnya tegangan yang terjadi.ABSTRACTReinforced concrete deep beam is one of the special structures that can carry quite a big load and generally used as a transfer girder, offshore structure, wall structure, and foundation. The appearance of openings in deep beams can facilitate AC pipelines, plumbing pipes, cable networks, etc. The existence of openings in deep beams can provide a few side effects such as geometric discontinuity, non-linear stress distributions over the deep beams, reduced strength of the deep beams, and stresses concentration will emerged around the openings. The purpose of this research is to analyze the effects from the existence of openings in deep beams on two supports (hinge and roller) and loaded by concentrated load in mid-span then variate the shape of openings (square, rectangle, and circle) and location of the openings. Flexural stresses in deep beams and the stress concentrations that occur around the openings are discussed in this research. The analysis will be assisted by Midas FEA which is a finite element based program and modelling will be executed in three dimensional solid elements. The result of this analysis showed that the existence of the openings in deep beams can cause stresses to increase significantly high. The location of the openings close to the mid-span of the deep beams also affect the amount of the stresses that occurs.

Authors: Altaee Maha Fakhry , Yaaqoob Laith A. , Kamona Zaid K.
Published: November 2020

In the present study, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) were evaluated as an antibacterial and anticancer agent. The nanoparticles of nikel oxide were synthesized using aloe vera leaves extract and characterized with AFM (showing an average diameter of 45.11 nm), XRD and FE-SEM analyses. Three different concentrations (125, 250 and 500 Âµg/ml) were prepared from the synthesized NiO NPs and investigated for their potential antibacterial activity against both Enterococcus faecalis (Gram-positive bacteria) and Acinobacter baumannii (Gram-negative bacteria). While cytotoxicity and apoptotic activity were measured on both MCF-7 and AMJ13 cancer cell lines by  MTT and caspase-9 luminescence assays. The results showed that NiO NPs inhibit bacterial growth, as indicated by large inhibition zones  against both tested bacteria, with all studied concentrations. Moreover, the results of cytotoxicity and caspase-9 activity assays were in concordance with those of  antibacterial activity, showing high cytotoxicity and apoptotic effects against both of the studied cancer cell lines and with all the tested concentrations of NiO NPs. Both the antibacterial and anticancer activities of NiO NPs were dose-dependent.

The Protracted Civil War in Libya: The Role of Outside Powers
Authors: Zoubir Yahia H.
Published: November 2020

The collapse of the Muammar Qaddafi regime was ostensibly the prelude to a democratic Libya. The 2012 election elicited much optimism. By 2014, the domestic situation had taken an unexpected turn for the worse, resulting in two governments, one in the east and one in the west, each supported by numerous militias. While the civil war has pitted Libyans against Libyans, foreign interventions on behalf of opposite side in the conflict have hindered the end of the civil war. Indisputably, foreign interference had begun well before the civil war; however, the military backing to the protagonists has become more pronounced since 2014. The foreign powers involved in the Libyan conflict aim to fulfill specific interests, some of which deriving from the rivalries between those countries. Unless those foreign powers have achieved their goals in Libya, an end to the civil war anytime soon remains unlikely, occasional ceasefires notwithstanding.

Published: November 2020

The dispute between Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan over the delimitation of the Caspian Sea has been one of the focal points of relations between the two states and has had negative spillover effects for the region. The conflict prolonged the process of determining a new status for the sea, as the parties failed to build mutually beneficial bilateral relations, and the implementation of regionally important transportation projects such as the Trans-Caspian Pipeline (TCP) have been delayed. However, the signing of a new Convention on the status of the Caspian Sea in 2018 in Aktau, was met with optimism for the delimitation of the seabed and the construction of the TCP. The present research aims to find out whether the new Convention of 2018 on the status of the Caspian Sea resolved the long-standing dispute between Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan and to assess the potential of implementing the TCP under the new conditions.

Accurate Prediction of B-form/A-form DNA Conformation Propensity from Primary Sequence: A Machine Learning and Free energy Handshake
Authors: Gupta Abhijit , Kulkarni Mandar , Mukherjee Arnab
Published: November 2020

DNA carries the genetic code of life. Different conformations of DNA are associated with various biological functions. Predicting the conformation of DNA from its primary sequence, although desirable, is a challenging problem owing to the polymorphic nature of DNA. Although a few efforts were made in this regard, currently there exists no method that can accurately predict the conformation of right-handed DNA solely from the sequence. In this study, we present a novel approach based on machine learning that predicts A-DNA and B-DNA conformational propensities of a sequence with high accuracy (~93%). In addition, we show that the impact of the dinucleotide steps in determining the conformation agrees qualitatively with the free energy cost for A-DNA formation in water. We are hopeful that our methodology can be employed on segments of the genomic sequence to understand the prospective biological roles played by the A-form of DNA.

Цель работы. Проведение сравнительной оценки финансовой устойчивости пяти кредитных организаций Республики Татарстан. Методология проведения работы. Для оценки финансового положения пяти кредитных организаций Республики Татарстан использовался метод CAMELS. Для анализа были взяты данные по кредитным организациям за шесть лет: с 1 января 2014 г. по 1 января 2019 г. Также были использованы данные о темпах прироста показателей, отражающих социально-экономическую обстановку в России за 2013–2018 гг. Это было нужно для понимания экономической ситуации, в которой находились кредитные организации в рассматриваемые периоды, в целях достижения более точных результатов оценки. Результаты работы. Модель CAMEL показала, что у АО «Татсоцбанк» устойчивость наилучшая, возможно, вследствие того что банк считается узкоспециализированным. АО «ИК Банк» как банк с иностранным участием также безболезненно пережил фазу кризиса, улучшив при этом собственную устойчивость. Тогда как банк с государственным участием в лице ПАО «АК БАРС» в большей степени ощутил на себе колебания рынка, после чего тяжело восстанавливался. Небанковская кредитная организация АО «Сетевая Расчетная Палата» также улучшила свою устойчивость, и кризисные циклы напротив, способствовали получению большей нормы рентабельности. Тогда как для ПАО «Тимер Банк» как санируемого банка факт шоковых и стрессовых ситуаций практически никакой роли не играет, проблем у банка как было много, так и осталось. Область применения результатов. Результаты проведенного исследования могут быть использованы при оценке финансовой устойчивости региональных кредитных организаций страны. Выводы. Региональные кредитные организации показывают хорошую финансовую устойчивость, несмотря на то что их финансовое положение зависит от состояния экономики страны.

Предмет и цель работы. Цель работы – исследование тенденций изменения значимости отдельных источников собственных доходов местных бюджетов городских округов. Метод и методология проведения работы. Проанализированы отчеты об исполнении бюджета за ряд лет, выявлены тенденции изменения значимости отдельных источников собственных доходов местных бюджетов, определены наиболее перспективные бюджетообразующие налоги, оценена эффективность принимаемых мер по мобилизации доходной базы городского округа. Результаты работы. На основе проведенного исследования определены наиболее перспективные бюджетообразующие налоги и налоговые режимы – налог на имущество физических лиц и упрощенная система налогообложения. Область применения результатов. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при выработке мер по повышению самостоятельности местных бюджетов. Выводы. Проведенное исследование показало сравнительно высокую эффективность мероприятий по диверсификации налоговых доходов местных бюджетов городских округов, повышение значимости альтернативных налогу на доходы физических лиц источнику – налога на имущество физических лиц и упрощенной системы налогообложения. Несмотря на стабильность такого источника, как налог на доходы физических лиц, определено, что потенциал роста поступлений по нему ограничен, соответственно, необходимо усилить работу по мобилизации доходов от других налогов, а также неналоговых доходов.

Метод и методология проведения работы. Проведен статистический анализ тенденции развития российского рынка автокредитования. Результаты. Установлено, что текущая рыночная ситуация характеризуется спадом развития российского рынка автокредитования в последние годы. В качестве меры по восстановлению рынка автокредитования РФ следует особо выделить финансовое оздоровление автокредитных организаций. Внедрение мероприятий по финансовому оздоровлению сейчас активно практикуется как способ улучшения финансового состояния автокредитных организаций. Область применения результатов. В статье выявлены преимущества процедуры финансового оздоровления как меры по восстановлению российского рынка автокредитования в условиях нестабильной экономики. Выводы. Применение финансового оздоровления для отечественных автокредитных организаций даст возможность приобретать определенные краткосрочные выгоды (сохранить доверие клиентов автокредитных организаций, снизить ликвидационные издержки). А в длительной перспективе финансовое оздоровление автокредитных организаций приведет к искажению стимулов к добросовестному поведению собственников, менеджеров автокредитных организаций и клиентов.
ЗАВИСИМОСТЬ КОНКУРЕНТОСПОСОБНОСТИ ПРОДУКЦИИ АГРАРНОГО сектора регионов СКФО от формы хозяйствования
Authors: Юнусова Патимат Сулеймановна

Анализ отечественных и зарубежных научных работ выявил, что исследований, учитывающих зависимость конкурентоспособности сельскохозяйственной продукции от формы организации аграрного производства, практически нет. Большинство исследований посвящены определению конкурентоспособности организации или уровня конкурентоспособности продукции. Целью данного исследования является установление зависимости конкурентоспособности продукции от формы хозяйствования в аграрном секторе регионов СКФО. Методы: системный, комплексный, аналитический, рейтинговый, гипотетический и др. Реализация результатов, полученных в ходе исследования, будет способствовать принятию решений, направленных на эффективное использование ресурсного потенциала аграрного сектора экономики. Область применения результатов: результаты исследования могут быть использованы соответствующими органами государственной власти регионов СКФО, специалистами и руководителями предприятий АПК, научными работниками, а также в учебном процессе. Выводы: проведенное исследование выявило, что на современном этапе развития в аграрном секторе регионов СКФО нет прямой зависимости конкурентоспособности по отдельным видам продукции от формы хозяйствования. Сельскохозяйственные организации более конкурентоспособны, чем малые формы хозяйствования в производстве животноводческой продукции. Производство растениеводческой продукции более конкурентоспособно в малых формах хозяйствования. Высокая доля малых форм хозяйствования в производстве продукции говорит о необходимости создания стимулов и условий для повышения конкурентоспособности их продукции.

Corrosion is one of the significant deteriorations of reinforced concrete structures. It accelerated the performance loss of the structures, leading to a cross-sectional reduction of steel, which affects its mechanical properties, particularly its tensile capacity and ductility. The purpose of this study is to assess the serviceability and safety of corroded-damaged structures, particularly those exposed to aggressive marine environments. A total of 54 pcs of 150 mm-diameter and 300mm-height of cylindrical specimen were cast. Small-scaled specimens were accelerated to corrosion using impressed current techniques with a constant current density of 200 µA/cm2. Samples were immersed in a simulated environment with a 5% solution of sodium bicarbonate during corrosion acceleration. Corrosion alters the surface configuration of the steel bar. Pitting corrosions due to chloride aggression causes the residual cross-sectional area of corroded rebars to no longer round and varies considerably along its circumference and length. The reduction of the steel cross-sectional area has a significant impact on the degradation of the strength and durability of reinforcing structures. The residual capacity of the corroded reinforcement decreases with the reduction of the cross-sectional area of the steel reinforcement. The rate of corrosion affects the extent of the remaining service life of a corroded reinforced concrete structure. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2020-03091624 Full Text: PDF

The integrated cattle and oil palm system is part of an excellent program of the Bangka Tengah Regency to increase the production of plantation and livestock. The benefit of the system is ensuring the availability of the animal feed derived from oil palm plantation waste while the feces of cattle is potential in producing the fertilizer for oil palm. The community service aims to alter the paradigm of the society on the integrated cattle and oil palm system as well as to empower the people to implement the system. Four steps were used as the methods to implement the programs are preparation; socialization; simulation; and monitoring and evaluation. Qualitative descriptive was employed to analyze the data. The program found that 90% of stock farmers agreed that the system was easily doable. The stock farmers were able to use the probio_Fm technology in implementing the system by making the silage made from the oil palm plantation waste. The knowledge of beneficiaries had increased and their behavior in feeding activities had positively altered through the program. It was found that the livestock required a week to adapt to the silage as the fermented materials in the probio-Fm technology. The use of a chopping machine was able to be a choice as it was able to produce the smoother chopped midrib. It concludes that the system is sustainably used to be implemented by Tunas Baru stock farmer.
