Corporate Prosecution in Criminal Acts of Corruption: Opportunity and Challenge
Authors: Muhammad Sofyan Andi
Published: January 2020

The corporation as an entity or legal subject whose existence contributes greatly in promoting economic growth and national development. However in reality, it is often for corporations to commit various criminal acts (corporate crime) that have a detrimental impact on the state and people. This research is normative legal research. Legal research which places the law as a normative system. The research approach uses a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results showed that the enactment of the Supreme Court Regulation No. 13 Year 2016 was to clarify the guidelines for the Public Prosecutor in prosecuting corporate defendants in corruption criminal acts. The application of sanctions against corporations as perpetrators of corruption is carried out as an effort to recover the losses of the State and the restoration of the state’s economy is an appropriate step considering the essence of criminal punishment in eradicating criminal acts of corruption aimed at recovering state losses or the state’s economy.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of similar and dissimilar laser welds of dp600 and dp1000 steel sheets used in the automotive industry
Authors: TUNÇEL Oğuz , AYDIN Hakan , ÇETİN Şükriye
Published: January 2020

Dual-phase (DP) steel sheets are the most widely used steel group in the automotive industry. When these steel sheets are used in car body components, welding is inevitably needed during the manufacturing process. Although the resistance spot welding (RSW) is the most widely used welding method in the automotive industry, the newly popular laser welding has gained more importance in the welding of these steel grades in recent years. In this work, the DP600 and DP1000 steel sheets were joined as double-sided with the pulsed Nd: YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Y3Al5O12)) laser welding. Performing similar or dissimilar weld of DP steel sheets is an inevitable demand in the modern automotive industry. So, in this study similar (DP600-DP600, DP1000-DP1000) and dissimilar (DP600-DP1000) steel sheets were welded in the flat position with the butt joint. In order to evaluate welding performance, microstructural studies and mechanical tests were performed, and experiments carried out in this context include optical microscope studies, tensile tests and Vickers microhardness measurements. The tensile strength of the similar welded joints is a little bit lower than the base metals (BM). But, for dissimilar weld, the tensile strength is even lower than DP600-DP600 joint. And the microstructure of the welded joints are composed of martensite, retained austenite and bainite in the fusion zone and a mixture of martensite, bainite, ferrite, retained austenite and tempered martensite in heat affected zone (HAZ).
Improved hybrid intelligent controller design for MPPT of stand-alone PV System
Authors: KEÇECİOĞLU Ö. Fatih , GANİ Ahmet , ŞEKKELİ Mustafa
Published: January 2020

Photovoltaic (PV) systems have low power conversion efficiency, so maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control methods are utilized to maximize the efficiency of PV systems. The present study proposes an improved hybrid intelligent controller design for the MPPT of stand-alone PV system. The hybrid intelligent control structure is integrated into Angle of Incremental Conductance (AIC) method and Interval Type-2 Takagi-Sugeno-Kang Fuzzy Logic Controller (IT2-TSKFLC). The proposed hybrid intelligent controller offers a superior performance in terms of dealing with uncertainties of sudden changes under different environmental conditions. A simulation model is created in Matlab/Simulink using daily data from a real solar PV plant to evaluate the performance of the proposed hybrid intelligent controller. The simulation findings demonstrated that the proposed hybrid intelligent controller displays a highly stable and robust performance in terms of tracking maximum power point compared to a conventional AIC MPPT method against various uncertainties stemming from disturbing inputs such as solar irradiance and panel temperature variations.
Uncovering Individualised Treatment Effect: Evidence from Educational Trials
Authors: Xiao ZhiMin , Hauser Oliver P , Kirkwood Charlie , Li Daniel Z. , Jones Benjamin , Higgins Steve
Published: January 2020

The use of large-scale Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) is fast becoming "the gold standard" of testing the causal effects of policy, social, and educational interventions. RCTs are typically evaluated — and ultimately judged — by the economic, educational, and statistical significance of the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) in the study sample. However, many interventions have heterogeneous treatment effects across different individuals, not captured by the ATE. One way to identify heterogeneous treatment effects is to conduct subgroup analyses, such as focusing on low-income Free School Meal pupils as required for projects funded by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) in England. These subgroup analyses, as we demonstrate in 48 EEF-funded RCTs involving over 200,000 students, are usually not standardised across studies and offer flexible degrees of freedom to researchers, potentially leading to mixed results. Here, we develop and deploy a machine-learning and regression-based framework for systematic estimation of Individualised Treatment Effect (ITE), which can show where a seemingly ineffective and uninformative intervention worked, for whom, and by how much. Our findings have implications for decision-makers in education, public health, and medical trials.

Visual and auditory contextual cues differentially influence alcohol-related inhibitory control
Authors: Qureshi Adam , Monk Rebecca , Pennington Charlotte Rebecca , Oulton Jennifer Rose
Published: January 2020

Introduction: Representing a more immersive testing environment, the current study exposed individuals to both alcohol-related visual and auditory cues to assess their respective impact on alcohol-related inhibitory control. It examined further whether individual variation in alcohol consumption and trait effortful control may predict inhibitory control performance. Method: Twenty-five U.K. university students (Mage = 23.08, SD = 8.26) completed an anti-saccade eye-tracking task and were instructed to look towards (pro) or directly away (anti) from alcohol-related and neutral visual stimuli. Short alcohol-related sound cues (bar audio) were played on 50% of trials and were compared with responses where no sounds were played. Results: Findings indicate that participants launched more incorrect saccades towards alcohol-related visual stimuli on anti-saccade trials, and responded quicker to alcohol on pro-saccade trials. Alcohol-related audio cues reduced latencies for both pro- and anti-saccade trials and reduced anti-saccade error rates to alcohol-related visual stimuli. Controlling for trait effortful control and problem alcohol consumption removed these effects. Conclusion: These findings suggest that alcohol-related visual cues may be associated with reduced inhibitory control, evidenced by increased errors and faster response latencies. The presentation of alcohol-related auditory cues, however, appears to enhance performance accuracy. It is postulated that auditory cues may re-contextualise visual stimuli into a more familiar setting that reduces their saliency and lessens their attentional pull.

Published: January 2020

We conducted two experiments using the 7.5% carbon dioxide challenge (Studies 1 and 2) and an observational study (Study 3) to investigate the relationships between state anxiety and alcohol-related outcomes (primarily alcohol choice) (ns = 42, 60, 218, respectively). We also explored whether drinking to cope (DTC) motives moderated these relationships. In Study 1, experimentally-induced state anxiety increased alcohol choice (dz = .65, p <.001). This finding was replicated in Study 2, but the effect was weaker (ηp2 = .056, p = .076). Furthermore, DTC moderated the effect (ηp 2 = .106, p = .013). However, in Study 3 there was no clear evidence of an association between naturally-occurring state anxiety and alcohol choice (b = 0.05, p = .654), or a moderating role of DTC (b = 6.66, p = .311). Experimentally-induced, but not naturally-occurring, state anxiety increases alcohol choice, although state anxiety was lower in the non-manipulated sample.

Authors: Thapa Bishal , Gupta Dipak Kumar , Yadav Amar Prasad
Published: January 2020

The bark extract of Euphorbia royleana as a green corrosion inhibitor was studied in 1M HCl using weight-loss method and potential measurement. The results show that the bark extract of Euphorbia royleana is an effective anti-corrosion inhibitor of mild steel in acidic media. The corrosion rate decreases with the time of immersion. Weight loss experiment shows that the loss in weight decreases with the time of immersion and inhibition efficiency increases with the concentration of extract. It was observed that maximum inhibition efficiency is 99.60% in 100% concentration of extract. Potential measurement study shows that bark extracts act as a mixed type of inhibitor i.e. inhibits both anodically as well as cathodically.
Isotherms and Kinetic Studies on the Adsorption of Cd(II) onto Activated Carbon Prepared from Coconut (Cocos nucifera) Shell
Authors: Shrestha Rajeshwar Man , Joshi Sahira
Published: January 2020

Activated carbon prepared coconut shell using Phosphoric acid as an activating agent was investigated to find the feasibility ofits application for removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution through the adsorption process. The activated carbon thus prepared has been characterized by SEM, XRD, FTIR. SEM morphology has revealed the pores of different diameters while FTIR showed the presence of surface functional groups such as carboxyl, phenolic and lactones. Batch mode kinetics and isotherm studies were carried out to evaluate the effects of contact time, adsorbent dose and pH. The optimum pH, contact time and adsorbent dose needed for the adsorption of the heavy metal have been found to be 6, 180 minutes and 2 g/L respectively. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models have been employed to analyze the adsorption equilibrium data. It was found that the adsorption isotherm of Cd(II) onto the activated carbon was the best described by Langmuir with an adsorption capacity of 33.71 mg/g. Kinetic studies showed that a pseudo second-order model was more suitable than the pseudo first-order model. It has been concluded that the activated carbon prepared from coconut shell can be used as an effective adsorbent for the removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solution.
Fault detection optimization for controllable dynamic systems
Authors: Mironovsky Leonid , Solov’eva Tatiana , Shintyakov Dmitry
Published: January 2020

Introduction: When diagnosing the deviations of controllable dynamic system parameters, it is convenient in terms of control simplicity to apply the Schreiber method which uses a set of rectangular pulses of equal duration as a test signal. Since for a single object you can construct many test signals which differ in the number of pulses, the problem arises how to minimize the number of test pulses when using the Schreiber method. Purpose: Simplification of test control and diagnostics of linear controllable dynamic systems. Results: It has been shown that a set of test pulse amplitude vectors is a kernel of the controllability matrix of a discrete analogue of the object under test. The problem is formulated of finding the optimal length of a test pulse in order to minimize the number of pulses in the test signal. For a given pulse length, the pulse amplitudes of an optimal test signal are equal to the coefficients of the control vector minimal polynomial for the discrete analog of the object relative to its system matrix. The number of test pulses can be reduced by choosing the pulse duration calculated from the imaginary component of the object poles. In particular, if an object has at least one pair of complex-conjugate poles, the number of test pulses does not at least exceed the order of the object. An algorithm has been developed for calculating a test signal for linear controllable object FDI by the Schreiber method. The input to the algorithm is the system matrix of the object, and the output is the length of the test pulse and the pulse amplitude vector. The efficiency of the algorithm is illustrated by FDI for two technical objects. Practical relevance: The results of the study can be applied to static parameter FDI of controllable dynamical objects which allow a linear description in their state space.

1990’lı yıllarda coğrafya disiplininde ya da daha geniş bağlamıyla sosyal
bilimlerde yaşanan mekânsal dönüş (spatial turn) günümüzde etkisini devam
ettirmektedir. Bu etki, doğası gereği coğrafi disiplin içinde çok daha
belirgindir. Mekânsal dönüş ile sosyal dünyada yaşanan olaylar, olgular,
tecrübeler kısaca tüm insan pratikleri açıklanmaya çalışılmaktadır. Mekânsal
boyutun daha görünür kılınmasına dikkat edilmektedir. Çünkü uzun yıllar boyunca
mekânsal boyut ya gözden kaçırılmış ya da ana odak noktası olamamıştır. Özellikle
coğrafyacıların üzerinde çalıştıkları mekân ister fiziksel isterse sosyal mekân
olsun; mekânı anlamak, açıklamak ve yorumlamak ana gündem maddelerinden birini
oluşturmaktadır. Bu durumu, coğrafyacıların varoluş amaçlarından biri olarak
nitelendirirsek sanırız abartmış olmayız. Aksi iddia edilirse şöyle bir soru
yöneltilebilir: O halde coğrafya ve coğrafyacılar neden var? Neden var olmaya
devam etmeliler? şeklindeki hayati bir soruyu yanıtlamak neredeyse imkansız

Mekân teorisinde soyut düşüncenin hâkim olması, mekânın çok
boyutluluğu ve farklı anlamlar içermesi nedeniyle geniş bir perspektife ihtiyaç
duyulmaktadır. Bu nedenle perspektifimizi genişletmek ve daha açıklayıcı

mekân ile yakından ilişkili olan öteki, metacoğrafya, kesişimsellik ve liminal
mekân kavramlarını ilişkisel bir çerçeveden yorumlamaktır. Çalışmanın daha
anlaşılabilir olması için kavramları ve ilişkiselliği örnekler yoluyla
somutlaştırma yoluna gidilmiştir. Çalışmada mekân tamamen bilinebilir ve
çözümlenebilir şeklinde bir yaklaşımı benimsemedik. Zira mekânın sürekli

False localising levels in spinal cord compression
Authors: Rousseff Rossen T. , Tzvetanov Plamen
Published: January 2020

Objective:

To describe three cases with false localising levels illustrating the difficulty in clinical diagnosis of spinal cord compression.

Patients and methods:

Three patients (aged 53, 55 and 57 years) developed acute (in one) and subacute (in two) spinal cord syndrome with paraparesis, bladder symptoms and sensory levels suggesting lower thoracic or higher lumbar involvement. Imaging at suspected levels was normal. Follow-up investigations after a significant delay showed compression at higher levels (up to 11 segments). Diagnoses were surgically verified. In one patient who died, post mortem investigation discloseed a caudally situated artery of Adamkiewicz and absent vicarious vessels at T7–T8 that are usually present in such cases.

Conclusions:

The well known but rare phenomenon of false localizing sensory levels in spinal cord syndromes should be kept in mind. Its causes can lie in remote higher levels of compressive lesion or in vascular compromise due to variants of the blood supply.
A comparison of computerized dynamic posturography therapy to standard balance physical therapy in individuals with Parkinson's disease: A pilot study

Published: January 2020

Postural instability is a common impairment in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). People with PD are prone to balance and walking difficulties. This study analyzed the feasibility of a prospective investigation of Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) and standard Physical Therapy (PT) treatments in individuals with mild-moderate PD. Treatment took place at two sites: 1) CDP therapy at the Southeast Parkinson's Disease Research Education and Clinical Center (PADRECC) within a Veterans Affairs Medical Center and 2) standard physical therapy at a community outpatient rehabilitation center. Final analysis compared 15 patients randomly assigned for therapy to either the CDP or PT treatments. Therapy time was eight weeks (four weeks of CPD or PT followed by home therapy for four weeks). The CDP therapy included gradually intensified closed chain and mobility training. Standard PT consisted of upright, mat, and theraball exercises and gait training. The home exercise phase was identical for both groups. The pilot data demonstrated treatment was tolerated by 68 percent of the sample despite the occurrence of a progressive neurological condition and medical comorbidities. While results failed to reveal any differences between treatment groups, both groups demonstrated improvement on selected outcome measures. An expanded prospective study with methodological improvements appears warranted.
FES cycling reduces spastic muscle tone in a patient with multiple sclerosis
Authors: Krause Phillip , Szecsi Johann , Straube Andreas
Published: January 2020

We report on a multiple sclerosis patient who received functional electrical stimulation to reduce spastic muscle tone of the lower limbs. Stimulation by means of surface electrodes applied to the thigh muscles induced cycling leg movements. Spastic muscle tone was measured clinically using the modified Ashworth scale and semiautomatically by pendulum testing of spasticity. This was done before and directly after stimulation. The patient was able to endure the stimulation for ca. 30 minutes; there was a significant reduction of spasticity after each stimulation session. We conclude, that this type of stimulation could be another potential treatment modality for multiple sclerosis patients, especially those with a high score in the expanded disability Status scale.
Effort issues in post-acute outpatient acquired brain injury rehabilitation seekers
Authors: Locke Dona E.C. , Smigielski Jeffrey S. , Powell Matthew R. , Stevens Susanna R.
Published: January 2020

Recent findings suggest that compromised patient effort occurs in nonlitigious settings, but the nature and base rate of suboptimal effort in these settings remains poorly understood. In the treatment-seeking, acquired brain injury, outpatient rehabilitation sample included in this investigation, 21.8% of the patients scored below recommended cutting scores for suboptimal effort on the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM). Disability status was the only variable explored in this study to be associated with suboptimal effort. It should be noted, however, that the proportion of patients on disability was large in both the optimal and suboptimal effort groups, suggesting that failure on the TOMM may not be a specific predictor of disability status in this sample. Importantly, performance on the TOMM was unrelated to age, education, time from injury to evaluation, and injury severity. Depression and anxiety were also shown to be unrelated to TOMM performance in this rehabilitation sample. As expected, performance on neurocognitive testing was significantly lower in the suboptimal effort group. This study suggests that reduced effort occurs outside forensic settings, is related to neuropsychometric performance, and urges further research into effort across various settings.

Published: January 2020

BACKGROUND:

Breast cancer is a common disease in women. Early detection and early treatment can reduce breast cancer mortality. Studies have shown that breast cancer microcalcifications is one of the important clinical manifestations of early breast cancer, and sometimes even the only manifestation. When the mammography image shows typical malignant microcalcification, it can be diagnosed as breast cancer without any other signs of malignancy. In the aided diagnosis of microcalcifications, it is a crucial step to automatically find and locate regions of interest containing microcalcifications. However, the existing feature extraction method for microcalcifications only extracts features in the time domain or wavelet domain, and does not completely represent all the information of the region of interest. An extraction method based on the combination of Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) and texture features is proposed in the paper.

METHODS:

First, the processing operations including denoising, enhancement, and edge detection were performed on mammograms. Sub-image segmentation is then performed. DTCWT features and texture features are extracted for each sub-image.DTCWT features are combined with texture features, and then genetic algorithm is used for feature optimization. The features are classified by the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to achieve rapid detection and automatic extraction of ROI with microcalcifications. The experimental results verify that the feature model proposed in this paper has the highest detection rate for ROI regions. The ROI region extracted by the proposed feature model was used as subsequent experimental data. Three different methods were used to detect the microcalcifications, including Top-hat, wavelet transform, and methods combining Top-Hat and wavelet transform.

RESULTS:

The method was applied to 100 mammograms from the mammograms database of women in Northeast China. In the automatic extraction of ROI, the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive accuracy and negative accuracy of the proposed model combined with DTCWT were 95.92%, 96.71%, 92.20%, 93.65%, 96.33%, respectively. When the Top-hat algorithm was used for microcalcifications detection, the sensitivity reached 89.6%, and the false positive detection rate was 2.6. When the wavelet transform algorithm was used for microcalcifications detection, the sensitivity was 91.1%, and the false positive detection rate was 3.28. When the combined algorithm was used for microcalcifications detection, the sensitivity was 86.7%, and the false positive detection rate decreased to 1.35.

CONCLUSIONS:

The proposed model combined with DTCWT features achieves better result in the automatic extraction of ROI. Moreover, in the subsequent detection of microcalcifications based on three methods, the three methods achieved better results in sensitivity and false positive detection rate, respectively.

How parameters such as interaction, iteration, frequency of iteration and time can express in a simple manner a nonlinear dynamics?
Considering a system with stationary PDF and ergodic properties, the mathematical framework reveals a constant oscillation of information flow in the system. Those parameters mentioned before can start chaotic process in the previous system generating infinite random sequences as Per Martin-Löf suggested in his work "Complexity oscillations in infinite binary sequences". In this way the non ergodic properties of system express observable oscillations in which time lengths regulations can be used as a tool for PDF constraint and  phase space formations.
Light Weight Secure Encryption Scheme for Internet of Things Network
Authors: G Menon Varun
Published: January 2020

Security of transmitted information is a major area of concern in Internet of Things (IoT) networks especially with large number of dynamically connected devices. One of the major challenge is to design an efficient encryption and decryption mechanism for securely transmitting the data between the devices in the network. Tiny Encryption Algorithm (TEA) is the most attractive encryption technique among all, with its less memory utilization and ease of implementation in both hardware and software scales. But one of the major issues of TEA and its numerous developed versions is the usage of the same key through all rounds of encryption, which yields a reduced security evident from the avalanche effect of the algorithm. This article discusses the working of a  novel  encryption scheme termed as Tiny Symmetric Encryption Algorithm (NTSA) which provides enhanced security for the transfer of text files through the IoT network by introducing additional key confusions dynamically for each round of encryption. Experiments are carried out to analyze the avalanche effect, encryption and decryption time of NTSA in an IoT network with embedded devices. The proposed scheme is found to have better performance compared to all the existing techniques.
Black Ginseng
Authors: Dou De qiang
Published: January 2020

Black ginseng is a processed ginseng which prepared by  steaming and drying of white or red ginseng  for several times (usually 9). This process resulting in extensive changes in types and amounts of several secondary metabolites. Thus, primary ginsenosides (the main active inredients in ginseng) were transformed into less polar derivatives by steaming. In addition, apparent changes happened to other secondary metabolites such as the increasing  of phenolic compounds, reducing sugars and acidic polysaccharides as well as the decrease in concentrations of free amino acids and total polysaccharides. Furthermore, the presence of some Maillard reaction products like maltol was also engaged. These obvious chemical changes were associated with a noticeable superiority for black ginseng over white and red ginseng in most of the comparative biological studies including anticarcinogenic, immunomodulatory, anti-Inflammatory, antidiabetic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant and tonic effects.

Remote Monitoring of Vital Signs Using Computer Vision Systems
Authors: Khanam Fatema-Tuz-Zohra
Published: January 2020

Techniques for noncontact measurement of vital signs using camera imaging technologies have been attracting increasing attention. For noncontact physiological assessments, computer vision-based methods appear to be an advantageous approach that could be robust, hygienic, reliable, safe, cost effective and suitable for long distance and long-term monitoring. In addition, video techniques allow measurements from multiple individuals opportunistically and simultaneously in groups. This paper aims to explore the progress of the technology from controlled clinical scenarios with fixed monitoring installations and controlled lighting, towards uncontrolled environments, crowds and moving sensor platforms. We focus on the diversity of applications and scenarios being studied in this topic. From this review it emerges that automatic multiple regions of interest (ROIs) selection, removal of noise artefacts caused by both illumination variations and motion artefacts, simultaneous multiple person monitoring, long distance detection, multi-camera fusion and accepted publicly available datasets are topics that still require research to enable the technology to mature into many real-world applications.

Characterization of the biological properties of bacteriophages Staphylococcus aureus variant bovis
Authors: Horiuk Yu. V.
Published: January 2020

Cattle mastitis is the main cause of economic losses in milk production worldwide, and Staphylococcus aureus is the pathogen that causes it most. Bacteriophages may be an alternative treatment for this disease. In this study, we studied the effect of temperature and pH on the lytic activity of bacteriophages isolated from cows with signs of mastitis. The isolation and production of pure phage lines were performed on an indicator culture of Staphylococcus aureus var. bovis 1491f conventional methods. The following phages were isolated and labeled: Phage SAvB07, Phage SAvB08, Phage SAvB12, Phage SAvB14. To determine the effect of temperature and pH, aliquots after the action of these factors were sown by the double agar method at regular intervals. The study found that phage lytic activity was temperature dependent. Thus, under the influence of temperature 45 °C after 30 minutes of action, it decreased by 3.0–3.4 times for bacteriophages Phage SAvB07, Phage SAvB08, Phage SAvB12 and after one hour was 2.4–12.6%. Phage SAvB14 strain was more resistant to temperature. Its activity decreased by only 67.6% during the analyzed period. With higher temperatures (55–65 °C), the intensity of phage infection decreased significantly, but remained stable. The most resistant to the effects of temperature was Phage SAvB14 – its activity was on average higher by 15.6–33.9% compared with other phages taken in the experiment. The results of our studies on the effect of pH on the reproduction of phages showed that the maximum number of phage virions was observed at pH 6 7. However, the most resistant to acidity was the phage strain Phage SAvB14, compared with other strains taken in the experiment. Therefore, the bacteriophage Phage SAvB14 exhibited the greatest stability and has considerable potential for in vivo use in the treatment of mastitis of cows caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

The material for the reseach were the washes that were taken from the milk utensils, portable milking machines, surface of the cooler, milking unit with the UDM 200 “Bratslavchanka” and milking parlor “Yalinka”. Washing of milking equipment and milk equipment was carried out with 0.5% hot solution (70 ± 5 ℃) of alkaline “Hyprochlor” and acid detergents disinfectant “Milkodez” and “Hypracid”. Processing of milk dishes, portable milking machines and cooler with acidic means was carried out for 2 and 5 minutes, cooler for 5 and 10 minutes, and installations of milking machine with UDM 200 “Bratslavchanka” milking parlor and “Yalinka” milking parlor – for 15 minutes by pumping the solution several times using a vacuum unit. The equipment, sanitary treatment of which was carried out by means of “Hyprochlor” and “Hypracid”, used as control. The disinfectant effect of the investigated agents was evaluated by the number of mesophilic aerobic and optional anaerobic microorganisms (MAOanM) in washings selected after washing and in milk. It was found that for the use of “Milkodez” dairy utensils for sanitary treatment, the amount of MAOanM on the surface of milking buckets and glass jars was smaller compared to their treatment with “Hypracid”, and the difference was for 2 and 5 min respectively 86.5% and 57.7% and 97.3 and 95.7%, respectively. Microbial contamination of fresh milk was reduced by 50.5% and 91.3%, respectively. The smallest amount of MAОanM in washes from milking rubber, milk hose, collector and milking tank of portable milking machines was in 5 minutes of their washing “Hyprochlor” and “Milkodez” and were respectively 0.6, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.2 thousand CFU/sm3, which allowed to obtain milk with the content of microorganisms 26 thousand CFU/sm3. The number of microorganisms per 1 sm3 of flushing from the walls of the cooler for 10 min of sanitary treatment by means of “Hyprochlor” and “Hypracid” was 5.8 thousand CFU/sm3, while for 5 min of exposure of the preparations “Hyprochlor” and “Milkodez” their number was 1.1 thousand CFU/cm3, and for 10 min – 0.4 thousand CFU/cm3. Thus, the number of microbial cells in 1 sm3 of milk was respectively 248000, 41000 and 29000 CFU. It is proved that for the sanitary treatment of UDM 200 “Bratslavchanka” and milking parlor “Yalinka” it is advisable to use the acid detergent disinfectant “Milkodez”, which provided 11.7 and 20.3 times less total amount of microorganisms in the washes from the elements and in 3.6 and 7.1 times in fresh milk, compared to “Hypracid”. The optimal mode of application of 0.5% solution of acid detergent disinfectant “Milkodez” for the effective sanitary treatment of milk utensils is 5 minutes, milking equipment – 10 minutes, and for the treatment of milking installations with milk pipeline and milking parlor – 15 minutes, after the previous washing them with an alkaline agent “Hyprochlor”.
