Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the issues of actualization of problems and novelties in the context of theoretical and legal segments of the bankruptcy procedure. The activities of economic entities are influenced by external and internal factors, but the issues of their solution remain in most cases in the discussions of politicians, scientists and representatives of the business environment. The effectiveness of legal entities has recently proved that the application of bankruptcy proceedings has intensified. However, remediation issues do not always have and receive adequate support. The consequence of these phenomena is the cessation of activities not only of small and medium-sized businesses, but also of individual large businesses. The main task of modern enterprises on the verge of bankruptcy is to develop tools and tools that allow to predict and analyze potential crises, to design options for their resolution and the appropriate information and economic base of management. Practical entrepreneurial activity proves that a number of issues remain unresolved and need more in-depth research and attention. This phenomenon indicates the modernity and relevance of the study given the realities of the functioning of legal entities. The article draws attention to the legislative regulation of bankruptcy procedures, identifies the priorities of legislative initiatives. The question of the scientific position of scientists concerning the characteristic of the conceptual categories "bankruptcy" and "remediation" is investigated. The author's vision of the essential characteristics of these categories is given, the substantiation of expediency of their adaptation in activity of domestic enterprises is given. A package of anti-crisis management measures has been developed taking into account the current realities of doing business. Proposals for improving the legislative regulation from the standpoint of reorganization procedures are presented. The development, approval and adaptation of the "Regulations on the stages of remediation" is proposed. From the author's point of view, it is expedient to include in the structure of the legislative regulator: conceptual apparatus for reorganization procedure, definition of methods and techniques of evaluation of clearly defined criteria with establishment of their normative limits, coverage of monitoring procedures.

Published: December 2020

The public danger of illegal drug trafficking, drug addiction and related phenomena is obvious; therefore the world community is making significant efforts to counter these phenomena, because only through joint efforts it is possible to ensure an effective counteraction to drug trafficking. For this purpose, states adopt a significant number of international normative legal acts. The issues of countering the illegal drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors are considered both within the framework of general documents on combating crime, and in special acts. Taking into account the European integration course of Ukraine, the expansion of international cooperation in the sphere of combating the illegal drug trafficking drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors, the following issues should be marked as ones of great importance: observance by Ukraine of its international legal obligations; integration into the world system of counteracting drug trafficking; bringing national legislation in line with the provisions of international regulatory legal acts. This article is devoted to the outlined questions. In particular, the provisions of the national legislation in the sphere of illegal drug trafficking, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors are analyzed, and the compliance of domestic norms with international regulatory legal acts in the sphere of combating illegal drug trafficking is concluded. The classification of international regulatory legal acts in the sphere of illegal drug trafficking in dependence to the authority that issued them is given. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the author suggests ways to further improvement of the domestic criminal legislation in the sphere of combating drug trafficking. In particular, it is proposed to criminalize the sowing and cultivation of any kind of narcotic drugs, as well as to partially revise the punishment for certain drug crimes.
How to structure data from an IoT monitoring network
Authors: Yu Ziwen
Published: December 2020

Internet of Things (IoT) has been widely used in agriculture for smart farming and precision agriculture to improve efficiency and effectiveness in a data-oriented fashion. Monitored data is collected at a much higher frequency and in relatively higher reliability and accuracy than those of the manually collected information. However, there is a challenge with such large data sets in how the data is stored and processed to keep the information completeness and meet the dynamic requirements for future development and usage. The data from such systems typically consists readings from monitoring sensors and corresponding attributes, such as location, units, measurement types (e.g. air temperature, wind speed, air pressure) for each measurement. Problems such as huge data redundancy, loss of information, and inflexible data structure may occur and cost substantial time and investment for IoT system managers who do not have the necessary professional training and are not using any IT consulting service. This publication discusses the typical attributes in IoT monitoring networks and presents a data structure that outlines best practices in organizing data. The main goal is to provide knowledge on how such a system’s data should be structured so that these IoT monitoring network owners, such as agricultural producers, can optimize how they use their data. Thus, the primary audience is agricultural producers, consultants and others who install, manage, or use such IoT monitoring systems for decision making.

Using County Typology Informed by Population Size to Understand Key Audience Characteristics for Tailored Landscape Water Conservation Programs
Authors: Warner Laura A. Sanagorski , Diaz John M.
Published: December 2020

A major priority for UF/IFAS is the promotion of science-based landscape management practices to conserve water resources. This publication outlines specific opportunities that exist for tailoring landscape water conservation programs to Floridians who live in more and less metropolitan areas. People who live in more populated counties in Florida tend to have longer residency tenure, are more likely to live within a community governed by a homeowners’ association, and to hire a landscape professional. This audience demonstrates increased engagement with specific water conservation practices as compared to other conservation strategies. Understanding these differences among audience subgroups can provide insights to guide impactful Extension programs.

Published: December 2020

INTISARI Sistem ini memberikan pelayanan pemesanan tiket speed boat secara online. Sistem ini membantu calon penumpang ketika hendak berangkat dengan tujuan tertentu yang berbeda-beda. Sistem ini hanya diterapkan di tiga loket speed boat dan ketiga loket boat ini belum menggunakan sistem pemesanan tiket secara online, untuk kegiatan pemesanan hanya bisa dilakukan melalui via telpon atau datang langsung keloket. Terkadang disaat melakukan pemesanan tiket pelanggan sering kehabisan ketersediaan kursi, kemudian pada saat pembuatan laporan karyawan membutuhkan waktu relatif lama karna harus menghitung seluruh transaksi dengan menggunakan kalkulator sehingga bisa saja menimbulkan kesalahan saat proses penjumlahan. Diharapkan melalui sistem informasi ini calon penumpang bisa langsung memesan tiket boat yang masih menyediakan kursi kosong, mengetahui keberangkatan, jadwal, biaya dan tujuan yang ada bisa dilakukan secara online. Sistem ini tidak hanya berguna bagi calon penumpang saja tetapi sistem ini dapat berguna untuk pemilik loket dan karyawan. Dengan sistem ini juga karyawan dapat dipermudah ketika ingin membuat laporan transaksi, mengetahui semua informasi tentang penumpang. Pemilik juga bisa lansung mengetahui total transaksi perharinya, tanpa harus menunggu laporan perbulananya. Dalam perancangan sistem informasi pemesanan tiket boat berbasis web ini di gambarkan kedalam bentuk diagram DFD (Data Flow Diagram) adapun pengujian yang digunakan yaitu pengujian UAT (User Acceptance Test) dan dengan menggunakan bahasa pemrograman PHP (Personal Home Page).

Az euró és magyarországi bevezetésének néhány kérdése
Authors: Palánkai Tibor
Published: December 2020

Az euró gazdasági-üzleti project, jelentős vállalati érdekek (TNC-ék) kapcsolódnak hozzá. A megtakarított tranzakciós költségek a globális versenyképesség tényezői. Részben az Európai Unió (EU, Unió) magas integráltsági szintjével, másrészt az egységes belső piac létrehozásával függ össze. Az eurót eredetileg a magországok érdekeihez szabták, az árstabilitás kapott abszolút prioritást. A kibővülésekkel a rendszer stabilitása érdekében a konvergencia is elengedhetetlenné vált. Az eurókormányzás reformjai 2010 után ezt és a konstrukciós hibákat csak részben korrigálták. Az euró fő zászlóvivői a transznacionális vállalatok (TNC) voltak. Magyarország gazdasága magasan transznacionalizált, és nincs semmi akadálya, hogy ezek a társaságok az eurót használják. Az euró magyar bevezetése összességében általános nemzeti érdek, viszont nincs olyan társadalmi-gazdasági érdekcsoport, amely ezt felvállalná. Gazdaságunk magas euroizáltsága alapján részei vagyunk az euróövezetnek (area szemben a zone-al). Ez sajátos monetáris konstrukció, kettős valutarendszer az árfolyamok lebegtetése mellett jellemzi, de szuboptimális a zóna tagsággal szemben. Nincs komoly érv, miért kellene a belépésünkkel homályos felzárkózási célok miatt várni. Alapvető magyar érdek lenne, hogy az euró végső kialakításában és a további reformokban már közvetlenül és aktívan részt tudjunk venni.
Consumer partnerships as organizational and legal form of a juridical entity

The status of a consumer partnership as one of organizational and legal forms of juridical entities, that is also one of organizational and legal forms of citizens’ more active participation in state-management and their personal needs satisfaction is determined in the article. The norms of the Civil Code and the State Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine “On Cooperation” and the “On Consumer Cooperation” are analyzed. According to the mentioned documents an independent, democratic citizens’ organization who unite in order to conduct common management for the sake of improving their economic and social status on the basis of voluntary partnership and mutual support are considered to be a consumer partnership. The above mentioned regulatory legal acts provide for different features of consumer partnerships. The features of consumer partnerships provided by current legislation are not civil and legal in their nature. Such a situation has become a legacy of the fact that the principles of legal regulation of the system of consumer partnerships, formed in the USSR, has not almost been changed yet. The very fact is that there is a need to develop a new legal model of consumer partnerships, which structure will take into account modern tendencies of the development of European legislation. It’s possible to formulate a list of civil and legal features of consumer cooperative partnerships that will distinguish them among any other partnerships. Namely they are: non-entrepreneurial legal status of consumer partnership; sufficiency of the main rights of the members of a partnership; subjects of property right of the members of a partnership; responsibility of the members of a partnership for obligations of a consumer partnership. All these features allow us to distinguish consumer partnerships as a separate organizational and legal form of non-entrepreneurial partnerships. The following definition of a consumer cooperative partnership can be proposed: it is a non-entrepreneurial cooperative partnership which members have a right for a concern. The size of this concern is determined as a set of unit and additional contributions. The members are liable within the value of the unit and are entitled to profit within the limits determined by law. Key words: cooperative, consumer partnership, features of consumer partnerships.
. Problems of legal regulation of combatinig terrorism and prevention of terrorist acts

Published: December 2020

The article addresses to the study of problematic issues of legal regulation of combating terrorism and the prevention of terrorist acts. The current state of crime prevention by terrorist groups is comprehensively analyzed. It is established that the range of subjects of anti-terrorist activity is not provided by the current legislation and the corresponding shortcomings that arise during the combating terrorism. It is established that the legal basis for the fight against terrorism is the Constitution of Ukraine, the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On Combating Terrorism", other laws of Ukraine, the European Convention on the Suppression of Terrorism of 1977 year, the International Convention for the Suppression of Terrorist Bombings of 1997 year, the International Convention on the Fight against Terrorist Financing in 1999 year, other international treaties of Ukraine approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, decrees of the President of Ukraine, resolutions and orders of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, as well as other regulations adopted to implement the laws of Ukraine. Among the normative legal acts regulating relations in the field of counter-terrorism, one of the prominent places has the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention and Counteraction to Legalization (Laundering) of the Proceeds of Crime, Terrorist Financing and Financial Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction" dated 14 October, 2014. It is proved that among the factors that negatively affect the effectiveness of the investigation of terrorist crimes, the leading place is taken by insufficiently balanced and unfounded state criminal law policy, which over the past few years has gradually lost its state character, becoming hostage to permanent political confrontation. There are many cases of unsystematic and scientifically unsubstantiated changes in certain provisions of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Key words: terrorism, terrorist act, terrorist operation, crimes, subjects, criminal liability.

The scientific article is devoted to the problems of using forensic examinations and their results in the pre-trial investigation. Perspective directions of development of criminology according to its components are defined. The current state of develop-ment of forensic technology, tools and cybernetics in general, which is successfully used in forensics makes it possible to use retinal schemes to register criminals. It is noted that the development of forensic technologies involves the develop-ment of information retrieval programs, such as Automated Workplaces (AWP) for pre-trial investigation units of Ukraine, as well as other persons authorized to in-vestigate, reference information programs. It is effective to use global satellite positioning systems (JPS devices) while in-vestigating crimes, ZD laser scanners when inspecting the scene, as small elec-tronic devices allow you to capture the geographical coordinates of any point, loca-tion of objects at the scene, the distance between them rather quickly. A new step in forensics in the near future will be the use of "latent fingerprint" (LTF) technology, which will greatly simplify the identification of criminals. Methods of forensic examination in criminal proceedings and their improve-ment using the latest technologies that use computer programs such as "Photoro-bot", the use of audio and video, polygraph, spectrograph, etc. to reproduce human memory and the development of forensic technology, which involves development of information retrieval programs. These new approaches and knowledge used by forensics are a necessary con-dition for the rapid detection of the crime, detection and seizure of physical evi-dence for their further expert studying. The use of the latest achievements of forensic technology in the detection of hidden traces is the key to the formation of a quality evidence base and identifica-tion of a particular person during the pre-trial investigation. Key words: forensics, forensics theory, crime investigation, criminological means of research.

“LONGE DOS DETRITOS PRIVADOS DA VIDA”: O DESENRAIZAMENTO DE KAUSHIK EM TRÊS CONTOS DE TERRA DESCANSADA, DE JHUMPA LAHIRI
Authors: Mangueira José Vilian
Published: December 2020

Levando em conta o destaque que a crítica especializada dá à obra de Jhumpa Lahiri, como a representação da diáspora do indiano em solo ocidental, procuramos interpretar as três narrativas da segunda parte de Terra descansada, “Parte II – Hema e Kaushik”, dando ênfase ao modo como Kaushik Choudhuri, o protagonista masculino, lida com os espaços geográficos nos quais está inserido. Suas sucessivas mudanças de locais de moradia, aliadas à perda da mãe, que é símbolo do espaço de nascimento, fazem com que o protagonista fuja de tudo aquilo que possa lhe oferecer uma possibilidade de se enraizar (DELEUZE & GUATTARI, 1995). Isso se evidencia no afastamento do país onde nasceu; na fuga da casa onde a família morou nos Estados Unidos; na escolha profissional que ele faz; e na falta de desejo de construir algo oficializado com a mulher que ama. Desse modo, os espaços identificados como pátria (Estados Unidos), terra adotiva (Índia), espaços de trabalho (diferentes países) e espaço de sepultamento (Tailândia) oferecem um entendimento para a leitura que empreendemos aqui. Como não consegue fincar raízes e florescer (metáforas utilizadas para marcar o ajustamento em solo dos personagens das narrativas desse livro), Kaushik termina sua história sendo engolido pelo espaço das águas, elemento que representa morte e renascimento (CHEVALIER & GHEERBRANT, 2009) (BACHELARD, 1997).

Oil Palm Tree Detection from High Resolution Drone Image Using Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Cheong Lee Chee , Yee Tan See , Sze Lim Tien , Chet Koo Voon
Published: December 2020

We propose a method to combine several image processing methods with Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to perform palm tree detection and counting. This paper focuses on drone imaging, which has a high image resolution and is widely deployed in the plantation industry. Analyzing drone images is challenging due to variable drone flying altitudes, resulting in inconsistent tree sizes in images captured. Counting by template matching or fixed sliding window size method often produces an inaccurate count. Instead, our method employs frequency domain analysis to estimate tree size before CNN. The method is evaluated using two images, ranging from a few thousand trees to a few hundred thousand trees per image. We have summarized the accuracy of the proposed method by comparing the results with manually labelled ground truth.
A Dense Optical Flow Field Estimation with Variational Refinement
Authors: Yong Eng Wei , Lang Chang Yang , Sze Lim Tien , Chet Koo Voon
Published: December 2020

Optical flow has long been a focus of research study in computer vision community. Researchers have established extensive work to solve the optical flow estimation. Among the published works, a notable work using variational energy minimization has beena baseline of optical flow estimation for a long time. Variational optical flow optimization solves an approximate global minimum in a well-defined non-linear Markov Energy formulation. It works by first linearizing the energy model and uses a numerical method specifically successive over-relaxation (SOR) method to solve the resulting linear model. An initialization scheme is required for optical flow field in this iterative optimization method. In the original work, a zero initialization is proposed and it works well on the various environments with photometric and geometric distortion. In this work, we have experimented with different flow field initialization scheme under various environment setting. We found out that variational refinement with a good initial flow estimate using state-of-art optical flow algorithms can further improve its accuracy performance.
A Survey on Crypto-Steganographic Schemes and A Use Case in Healthcare System
Authors: Phang Mei Ling , Heng Swee Huay
Published: December 2020

Information sharing has become prevalent due to the expansion of social networking in this21st century. However, electronic devices are vulnerable to various kinds of attacks. Information might be disclosed, modified and accessed by an unauthorised third party which consequently leads to the breach of confidentiality, integrity and availability of the information. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to employ the technology of cryptography and steganography to protect information assets. Cryptography and steganography have weaknesses when they are working alone. Therefore, crypto-steganography, the combination of cryptography and steganography are introduced to overcome the weaknesses in order to provide a double layer of security and protection. This paper provides a general overview of steganography and cryptography as well as a comparison analysis of different crypto-steganographic schemes. A secure crypto-steganographic system for healthcare is then developed with the implementation and integration of the secure crypto-steganographic scheme proposed by Juneja and Sandhu. This healthcare system enables users to store and deliver message in a more secure way while achieving the main goals of both cryptography and steganography
Towards Confessional Reconciliation: The “Protestantization” of Charles V in David Chytraeus’s De Carolo Quinto Caesare Augusto Oratio (1583)
Authors: Walser-Bürgler Isabella
Published: December 2020

In 1583, David Chytraeus (1530–1600), one of the key figures of north German Protestant humanism, published his Latin biographical oration De Carolo Quinto Caesare Augusto Oratio on Emperor Charles V (Holy Roman emperor from 1520 to 1556). Despite the numerous confessional conflicts between the German Protestants and the former Catholic monarch, Chytraeus presented the emperor in a strikingly favourable light. To which degree and in which respects Chytraeus was thereby driven both as a theologian and as a historian to promote the overcoming of the confessional split—which renders the oration on Charles an intriguing document of sixteenth-century religious discourse—will be investigated in this article.
Undermining the Elect Nation: King Lear and the Hebrew Patriarchs at the Court of James I
Authors: Timmis Patrick
Published: December 2020

This article examines King Lear’s creative redeployment of the Old Testament stories of the patriarchs, especially the narrative of Jacob and Esau in the book of Genesis. After contextualizing the reliance of the “Gloucester subplot” on this narrative within a broader predestinarian tradition of representing the English monarchy as the fulfillment of Hebrew typology, the article asks how a courtly audience, amid the political upheavals of 1606, might have reacted to the play’s apparent subversion of Calvinist theopolitical certainties.

Objective: To compare the outcomes of ureteroscopic lithotripsy with pneumatic lithotripter versus Holium:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Ho:YAG) laser in the management of upper ureteric stones.
Materials and methods: Patients who underwent ureteroscopic lithotripsy with pneumatic lithotripter or Ho:YAG laser for upper ureteric stones were reviewed. Patients with urinary tract infection, ,loss of follow-up, concurrent middle or lower third ureteral stones or acute renall failure were excluded. Patient age, stone size and burden (based on KUB or computerized tomography), stone upward migration, double J stent insertion rate, stone free rate and secondary intervention rate for residual stones were compared in both groups.
Results: There were 70 patients with upper ureteric stones (35 in pneumatic group and 35 in laser group) meeting the study criteria. Patients’ age, gender, stone size and burden were similar in both groups. The Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy group had better stone free rate, less double J stent insertion rate and less upward migration and secondary intervention rate, sepsis as compared with pneumatic lithotripsy (94.2% vs. 60%; 85% vs. 100%; 5.7% vs 40%; 5.7% vs 34.2%; 2.8 vs 2.8 respectively, all p < 0.05). In patients with stones sizes 8-10 mm, Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy had significantly lower upward migration rate, lower double J stent insertion rate, higher stone free rate and less secondary intervention rate.
Conclusions: Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy is better and much effective than pneumatic lithotripsy in the management of upper ureteric stones in terms of, stone free rate and secondary intervention rate for stones of sizes about 8 to 10 mm.Although the access of upper ureter is difficult but our small calibre (4.5 fr) ureteoscope and gentle manuevre have made the procedures safe and successful.

Aiming to determine the ration between digestible lysine and digestible threonine (Thr/Lys) for weaned piglets at 27 days, kept in the nursery under sanitary challenge conditions, 105 hybrid piglets with initial weight of 7.2 ± 0.41 kg, were distributed in randomized block design inside of five treatments (Thr/Lys ratios of 0.56; 0.63; 0.70; 0.77 and 0.84), seven replicates and three piglets per experimental unit. The Thr/Lys ratios did not affect (P>0.05) piglet performance. There was quadratic effect (P=0.02) of the Thr/Lys ratio on the protein/fat ratio and the estimated point of the bigger protein/fat ratio occurred with the Thr/Lys ratio of 0.68. The Thr/Lys ratio did not affect (P>0.05) the carcass parameters and serum urea levels, however, the liver and kidney weights raised with the increase (P=0.01) in Thr/Lys rate. The Thr/Lys ratio had a quadratic effect (P=0.01) on rate of plasma haptoglobin, Thr/Lys ratio was estimated at 0.74. It was concluded that the ratio between digestible threonine with digestible lysine for piglets from 27 to 48 days of age raised under sanitary challenge conditions is 0.74.

Objective: To evaluate the allocative efficiency, financial impact, and cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation of a single tooth by means of a 3-unit fixed dental prosthesis and of a dental implant from the perspective of the Commercial Social Service - SESC (“Serviço Social do Comércio”). Methods: An economic analysis of the cost-effectiveness type was designed. A Markov model was developed to capture long-term clinical and economic outcomes considering the temporal horizon of 25 years. Results: Within this temporal horizon it would be possible to perform 308 more procedures with a saving of R$ 351,737.49, if rehabilitation by means of the one-unit implant were chosen. Conclusion: The implant technique with an implant and an implant-supported prosthesis was dominant; that is, it had lower cost and higher effectiveness and its allocative efficiency allowed a much higher number of persons to have access to treatment.

Election Campaign Period is a period in political events where candidates have the opportunity to introduce themselves to the public. Through various forms and channels of communication, candidates endeavor to convey their ideas and profile. One form of communication channel is political advertising. The target group that is always interesting to be targeted by advertisements is the beginner voter group. With a very significant number of them, the beginner voter is a potential "market" to work on so that a candidate's campaign message can be conveyed. This study wants to see how the opinions of the beginner voters, especially in the city of Surabaya about the ads of candidates for Cagub Cawagub in the East Java Regional Election 2018. Using a quantitative approach with survey methods, the results show that both candidate pairs' ads, namely Khofifah-Emil and Gus Ipul- Puti are positively opinion by beginner voters. However, when viewed from each opinion component, namely Trust, Values, and Expectations, the Gus Ipul-Puti advertisement has a higher component in Values and Expectations while the Khofifah advertisement pair is high in the Trust component.

Radikalisme muncul dan berkembang di latar sosial berbeda. Di Asia, radikalisme muncul dalam bentuk identitas kelompok agama seperti ekstrem Buddha di Myanmar, ekstrem Hindu di India, dan militan Muslim di Timur Tengah dan Asia, termasuk Indonesia. Pada perkembangannya, radikalisme mewujud dalam bentuk pelabelan seperti “kafir” yang membawa konsekuensi pada diskriminasi, terutama pada kelompok non-muslim. Nahdlatul Ulama dan Muhammadiyah juga mengambil peran dalam penggunaan istilah ini. Riset ini berupaya untuk mengungkap konstruksi “kafir” oleh media di organisasi keagamaan melalui pendekatan semiotika struktural Saussure. Hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa organisasi Islam NU dan Muhammadiyah memiliki konstruksi berbeda terhadap istilah “kafir”. NU menyepakati bahwa terdapat dua konteks yang berbeda dalam penggunaan istilah “kafir”, yaitu dalam konteks keimanan (agama) dan konteks bernegara. NU merekomendasikan untuk menghilangkan penggunaan istilah “kafir” bagi non-muslim dan menggantinya dengan istilah muwathinun (warga negara) dalam konteks kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara. Berbeda dengan NU, Muhammadiyah menekankan bahwa penggunaan istilah “kafir” memiliki kecenderungan merujuk kepada non-muslim. Istilah “kafir” tidak boleh dihilangkan dalam ajaran Islam, namun penyebutan “kafir” perlu digunakan secara bijak. Komunikasi menjadi perantara sentral dalam diskursus tentang politik identitas di Indonesia.
Modelled larval supply predicts coral population recovery potential following disturbance

It is hypothesized that spatio-temporal variability in larval supply is caused by multiple biophysical drivers which correlate with the occurrence of recruitment pulses, influencing the recovery potential of coral reefs following large-scale disturbances. Here, we used a larval dispersal model to explore coral larvae dispersal patterns under variable oceanographic conditions, densities of parental colonies, and taxon-specific biology of propagules. Model predictions were validated with observed settlement and recruitment data to test the robustness of larval dispersal modelling for forecasting the recovery potential of study reefs. The model was applied to the western Pacific archipelago of Palau for 3 yr before and after major typhoon disturbances, and simulations were run and validated for 2 major broadcast-spawning reef-building taxa:AcroporaandPorites.Investigations into the relative role of physical (currents, wind, waves) and biological (taxa, disturbance impact) parameters on overall larval supply show that low wind speeds and the intermittent occurrence of north and southwest oceanic currents contributed significantly to enhancing larval supply at the scale of the archipelago. Reduced parental colony densities on eastern reefs following disturbances did not have a major impact on predicted larval supply patterns. Relatively low larval supply to most of the disturbed eastern reefs is predicted during the most common oceanographic conditions, forecasting low recovery potential through larval recruitment. Mapping the spatio-temporal dynamics of larval supply and identifying barriers to dispersal from intact to disturbed reefs can help predict recovery patterns across reef communities.
