Detection of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Patients with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Yadav Manu , Devpura Ganpat , Pal Nikita , Yadav Ashu
Published: March 2022

Background: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is defined as excessive fat in the liver that is not caused by excessive alcohol consumption. Recent studies have shown that NAFLD can predict the onset of diabetes and vice versa, and that one ailment might act as a progression factor for the other. The paper aims to find out the various risk factors associated with developing Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus to prevent both hepatic and systemic flares. Material and Method: A prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted around 950 known patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus attending the outpatient Diabetes clinics during a period of May 2019 to May 2021 at NIMS Medical College & Hospital. Among them, 150 patients, willing to participate were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between the study groups in relation to Total Bilirubin, Direct Bilirubin, Indirect Bilirubin, serum proteins, Albumin, AST, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase as the p-value calculated to be <0.05. Conclusions: The study showed people with high glycemic index have a higher chance of developing the disease. Thus tighter control of blood glucose level is the key to prevention. Obesity, uncontrolled diabetes, deranged lipid profile and abnormal liver enzymes are some of the risk factors for developing NAFLD. Thus screening must include all this risk factors and management strategies should address them separately.
Prolymphocyte Leukemia: A Case Report
Authors: Elghouat Ghita , Raissi Abderrahim , Yahyaoui Hicham , Nakhli Raja , Chakour Mohammed
Published: March 2022

Prolymphocyte leukemia is a very rare, complex, and often aggressive, mature lymphoid hemopathy. The mean age of onset is 65 years with a predominance of males. We report here the case of a patient with splenomegaly and severe lymphocytosis in whom the smear showed an invasion of 90% of prolymphocytes suggesting Prolymphocyte leukemia confirmed by immunophenotyping. Both purine analogues and monoclonal antibodies have shown promoting results, however, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only therapeutic means allowing a lasting response. However, it is reserved for young patients with compatible donors. A good understanding of the pathogenesis and a better integration of the molecular data of this hemopathy open the way to the use of new targeted therapies.
Between Popular Demand for Education and Budgetary Constraints: The Example of the Organisation of Hamlet Schools in Savoy (1860–1880)
Authors: Julliard Jean-Yves
Published: March 2022

In the early nineteenth century, the populations of the former Duchy of Savoy increased the number of hamlet schools. These schools were integrated into the mountain socio-economic system and mainly financed by private funds, but were considered by the Sardinian monarchy as public establishments. This was not the case in France where hamlet schools were mostly established as private schools. After 1860, their integration into the French school system posed difficulties for the French government which intended to develop schooling but to contain public expenditure. Several statutes were granted to them before the law of 1867, inspired by the Savoyard example, legalised these schools. Although the government planned to rationalise their establishment, financial logic and popular demand for education led to the maintenance of this local, public school service. However, the way in which the schools were taken into account in ministerial statistics, invites us to question the evolution of their numbers and more generally that of primary education expenditure at the end of the Second Empire.
The Birth of the Apprenticeship Tax (1890–1925): A French Approach to Financing Technical Education
Authors: Lembré Stéphane
Published: March 2022

Envisaged at the beginning of the twentieth century as a reaction to the perception of an “apprenticeship crisis,” the development of technical education in France was regulated after the First World War by the Astier Law passed in 1919. However, this development, particularly in the form of schools and courses, required resources that the law did not provide. The creation of the apprenticeshiptax in 1925 was a response to this problem and was based on various projects and debates that had arisen before the war concerning the respective roles of employers’ representatives and the State. In this article, this tax is placed in the international context of choices in the management of technical education in order to examine the British precedent. It reflects the power issues at stake in the control of this form of education and introduces an original French approach to its financing and governance.
Funding of Progressive Education, 1891–1954: A Swedish Case
Authors: Samuelsson Johan , Michaëlsson Madeleine
Published: March 2022

It is a well-known fact that several of the early progressive schools were privately, not publicly, funded. This has been observed in studies of progressive schools in, for instance, Japan and England. However, more specific analyses of the nature of this financing are rare. The overarching purpose of the article is to analyse and describe the funding of progressive private upper secondary schools (läroverk) through a case study including two schools in Gothenburg and Uppsala in the early 1900s. Using primary material, such as minutes from the annual meetings of shareholders and final accounts, a broader understanding of conditions and motives is accomplished. A combination of donations from local philanthropists, public funding, and student fees funded the schools. Gradually, the importance of philanthropic capital decreased. In addition, it also turned out that the schools were hardly driven by profit motives.
From Dismantling the Class Society to Investing in Human Capital: The Rise and Fall of the Selective Student Finance System in Sweden 1939–1964
Authors: Gustavsson Martin
Published: March 2022

The article highlights the history of the early gift-based and selective student finance system of the social democratic welfare state in Sweden, targeting students from the working classes. This lesser-known system, introduced in 1939, preceded the present loan-financed and universal system established in 1965 designed to reach students from all classes. The arguments for launching the selective system, how this system met the objective of broadening the social recruitment of students and the arguments behind the dismantling of the system are analysed. The equalising effect of the selective system was strong, but student loans were nevertheless more compatible with an emerging idea, imported from the Chicago School, that education could be considered an (loan-financed) investment in human capital, that provides future yields rather than a right. Historical institutional theory is used to analyse the shift between two diametrically opposed models that took place within the same Social Democratic regime.
APPLICATION OF MIVAR TECHNOLOGIES OF LOGICAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS OF RESOURCE ALLOCATION OF PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
Authors: Варламов О.О. , Кривошеев О.В.
Published: March 2022

Для создания машиностроительного искусственного интеллекта обосновано применение миварных технологий для решения оптимизационных задач распределения ресурсов производственных систем. Предложен новый подход к решению таких задач на основе построения логического вывода в миварной базе знаний, который и представляет собой план распределения ресурсов. Миварные сети строят только один логический вывод. Поэтому итерационно удаляют из миварной сети некоторые вершины и выполняют новый поиск логического вывода. Также предложено итерационно изменять ограничения для вершин на двудольном ориентированном графе. Полученные алгоритмы логического вывода сравнивают между собой и выбирают наилучшее решение по заданному критерию оптимальности.

To create mechanical engineering artificial intelligence, the use of mivar technologies for solving optimization problems of resource allocation of production systems is justified. A new approach to solving such problems is proposed based on the construction of a logical inference in the mivar knowledge base, which is a resource allocation plan. Mivar networks build only one logical conclusion. Therefore, some vertices are iteratively removed from the mivar network and a new logical inference search is performed. It is also proposed to iteratively change the constraints for vertices on a bipartite oriented graph. The resulting logical inference algorithms are compared with each other and choose the best solution according to a given optimality criterion.
Barriers to the Ballot Box: Implicit Bias and Voting Rights in the 21st Century
Authors: Gordon Arusha , Rosenberg Ezra
Published: March 2022

While much has been written regarding unconscious or “implicit bias” in other areas of law, there is a scarcity of scholarship examining how implicit bias impacts voting rights and how advocates can move courts to recognize evidence of implicit bias within the context of a voting rights claim. This Article aims to address that scarcity. After reviewing research on implicit bias, this Article examines how implicit bias might impact different stages of the electoral process. It then argues that “results test” claims under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) present an opportunity for plaintiffs to introduce evidence regarding implicit bias in the electoral process. In addition, this Article explores policy solutions to reduce the impact of implicit bias in elections.
Schooling the Police: Race, Disability, and the Conduct of School Resource Officers
Authors: Merkwae Amanda
Published: March 2022

On March 25, 2015, police officers effectuated a violent seizure of a citizen in Kenner, Louisiana: [T]he police grabbed her by the ankles and dragged her away [from the tree]. . . . [She was] lying face down on the ground, handcuffed with her face pressed so closely to the ground that she was having difficulty breathing due to the grass and dirt that was so close to her nose and mouth. An officer was kneeling on top of her, pinning her down with a knee squarely in [her] back. Several other officers, as well as several school administrators, stood around the scene watching. [She] was crying and yelling[,] “Help, I’m hurting.” The handcuffed individual was a Black, ten-year-old child who has been diagnosed with autism. On the day of the incident, she “began acting up in class, running around the classroom, climbing on desks, and knocking down classroom chairs.” After she climbed out of the classroom window and up a tree on school property, school officials called the police. Instead of responding to the situation in a manner appropriate for a fourth grader with autism, officers responded with handcuffs and a knee in her back. In Mississippi, a twelve-year-old diagnosed with bipolar disorder “was handcuffed in front of several classmates and put in the back of a police car outside of [his middle school]” after “los[ing] his temper in an argument with another student, and hit[ing] several teachers when they tried to intervene.” Following the incident, the boy was briefly admitted to a mental health facility, then “charged with three counts of assault.” In Virginia, a Black eleven-year-old boy diagnosed with autism was charged with disorderly conduct and felony assault of a police officer for his acts of kicking over a trash can in school and trying to pull away when a school resource officer grabbed him. Unfortunately, the facts in these elementary school students’ cases are not rare. Over the past few decades, schools across the country have adopted extremely harsh discipline policies to control student misbehavior that may be caused by an underlying disability.
Pushing an End to Sanctuary Cities: Will it Happen?
Authors: Bhatt Raina
Published: March 2022

Sanctuary jurisdictions refer to city, town, and state governments (collectively, localities or local governments) that have passed provisions to limit their enforcement of federal immigration laws. Such local governments execute limiting provisions in order to bolster community cooperation, prevent racial discrimination, focus on local priorities for enforcement, or even to a show a local policy that differs from federal policy. The provisions are in the forms of executive orders, municipal ordinances, and state resolutions. Additionally, the scope of the provisions vary by locality: some prohibit law enforcement from asking about immigration status, while others prohibit the use of state resources to enforce federal immigration laws. Despite these variations, such local provisions intend to stifle cooperation with the federal government to adopt a more inclusionary local enforcement policy. Immigration policy is unanimously understood as a federal power, suggesting that federal immigration laws preempt the local governments’ provisions. Such preemption challenges have been brought to court, yet sanctuary cities remain largely untouched.

The July 2015 murder of Kate Steinle in San Francisco, CA, renewed political discourse on the topic. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, an undocumented immigrant who had been previously deported five times, was charged for the murder. Mr. Lopez-Sanchez’s long history of crime and immigration violations fueled critiques of city policies and put the federal spotlight back onto sanctuary cities. The House of Representatives has since passed H.R. 3009, which would deny some federal assistance to localities that enact provisions prohibiting officers from taking certain actions with respect to immigration. President-elect Donald Trump recently announced his bold plan to cancel all federal funding to such localities. Other immigration-focused measures continue to be introduced and discussed in Congress.

If passed, what practical impact would H.R. 3009, or similar legislation, have on local immigration enforcement? The bill still has considerable obstacles to overcome. However, enactment of such legislation has the potential to push local enforcement towards cooperation with federal policy.
Tightening the OODA Loop: Police Militarization, Race, and Algorithmic Surveillance
Authors: Vagle Jeffrey
Published: March 2022

This Article examines how military automated surveillance and intelligence systems and techniques, when used by civilian police departments to enhance predictive policing programs, have reinforced racial bias in policing. I will focus on two facets of this problem. First, I investigate the role played by advanced military technologies and methods within civilian police departments. These approaches have enabled a new focus on deterrence and crime prevention by creating a system of structural surveillance where decision support relies increasingly upon algorithms and automated data analysis tools and automates de facto penalization and containment based on race. Second, I will explore these militarized systems, and their effects, from an outside-in perspective, paying particular attention to the racial, societal, economic, and geographic factors that play into the public perception of these new policing regimes. I will conclude by proposing potential solutions to this problem that incorporate tests for racial bias to create an alternative system that follows a true community policing model.

SEMANTICS OF THE GAME CODE OF CULTURE AND ITS ACTUALIZATION IN THE OPERA "DON JUAN" BY W. A. MOZART
Authors:   Magnitogorsk State Conservatory (Academy) named after M. I. Glinka, Magnitogorsk, Russian Federation, Plotnikova O. M.
Published: March 2022

The article investigates the semantics of the game cultural code and its verification in the polycode system of W. A. Mozart's opera "Don Juan". The concept of "game", which reflects the linguistic picture of the world, is considered as the basis of the meaning-generating structure of the code. The semiotic methodological approach becomes the key to the cognition of various, contiguous and interacting with each other information levels of its functioning. Reconstruction of the game cultural code represents historical and contextual space of the opera as an essential element of the author's artistic text. In the extra-musical projection, the game is the basis of the philosophical discourse of the Enlightenment and the dominant of the Austrian national culture. It is attributed as the composer's lifestyle and artistic worldview. The game cultural code reveals the author's idea of the artistic spatial and temporal solution of the opera's scenography, projects the dramaturgical development of artistic images and intercultural communications between them. The study of the phenomenon of playing in binary oppositions reveals the mythological principles of the composer's thinking and the cosmogonic matrix of the opera concept. The study of the multi-stage "ladder" of contexts allows to understand the mechanism of the semantic game case formation and to comprehend the semiotic system of "Don Juan" as an integral part of the broader semiotic structure of musical culture.

The paper presents the results of determining the sensitivity of the bacterial flora of the uterine contents of sows with postpartum endometritis to the most common groups of antibacterial drugs used in veterinary medicine. The following pathogenic bacterial strains have been identified: Escherichia coli, Trueperella pyogenes, Aeromonas salmonicida, Proteus vulgaris. The sensitivity of the bacterial flora isolated from the uterine contents of pigs with postpartum endometritis to antibacterial drugs of the following groups was determined: carbapenems, cephalosporins, lincosamides, polymyxins, tetracyclines, beta-lactams, penicillins, sulfonamides, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines. To a large number of studied drugs, all types of isolated bacteria showed persistent resistance. Such high rates of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens suggest that alternative therapies need to be sought.

Intracellular and tissue localization of soluble phenolic compounds of the flavonoid series was studied on the example of flavans and proanthocyanidins in the integumentary tissues of medicinal plants. The work used both well-known medicinal plants rich in various phenolic compounds (Dioscorea caucasica Lipsky, Taxus canadensis Marsh, Ginkgo biloba) and traditional agricultural crops that occupy leading positions in feed production (Helianthus annuus L.) On the basis of specific histochemical reactions revealed that flavans were major components and were ubiquitously present in the integumentary tissues of the studied plants. Specific staining for the amount of soluble phenolic compounds coincided with histochemical reactions with vanillin reagent. Polyphenols in these plants were localized in epidermal tissues, in exogenous excretory structures, as well as in glandular hairs. In the cell walls, intercellular cells and vacuoles of epiblasts, they were present in the form of amorphous matter and granular inclusions.

Crystallization of honey is one of its main properties. The component composition of honey has been studied for a very long time, but there are no express methods for examining its characteristics. For this reason, the issue of finding innovative methods for assessing the quality and safety of bee honey remains relevant at the present time. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of various honey dilutions on the crystallization of a model crystal-forming solution. Twenty samples of polyfler honey collected from apiaries located on the territory of the Shakhunya district of the Nizhny Novgorod region in the summer served as the material for the study. 4 samples were formed from each collected honey sample, the mass of each of which was 0.1 g, then homogenization of all samples was carried out. By adding an appropriate amount of saline solution to the honey samples, the following dilutions were obtained: 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32. A control sample representing 0.9% sodium chloride solution was also used. 100 μl of substrate from each sample was applied to a slide and dried in vivo. Facias were analyzed by microscopy using qualitative and quantitative criteria. It was found that in micro-preparations of diluted honey, the density of crystalline elements monotonically increases from the minimum dilution to the maximum. This is due to the high concentration of carbohydrates in honey, which are known inhibitors of crystallization. The use of this testing method during the examination will allow to identify the presence of honey adulterants with artificially increased sugar content.

In recent years, pondium problems in many countries around the world have created a financial crisis, negatively affecting the macroeconomic performance of many countries, which has led to a decline in gross domestic product (GDP) as well as greater problems in economic development. The globalization of economic processes in the world has increased the uncertainty of the external environment in the national economy of both individual and national economies as a whole, creating the need to develop scientifically based methods and approaches to effective management of industries.
Today, the formation of an effective management system of the economic system must be based on the principles of sustainable development. Management should be carried out in order to achieve the level of financial sustainability of the enterprise, on the one hand, and on the other hand, in accordance with the strategic objectives of the actual situation of the business entity. This is because the existence of objective uncertainty in the external environment of the enterprise and the subjectivity of decisions make it necessary to develop a control system for the stability of the enterprise, which should allow the formation of optimal management decisions aimed at increasing financial and economic stability. Thus, the stability of an economic system based on scientific methods of modeling and optimization in a dynamic environment, based on preventive measures and the principles of adaptive management.

Neste trabalho propomos e analisamos a reconstrução do esquadro móvel, um antigo instrumento matemático do século XVI, seguindo de perto as concepções de Saito e Dias (2011, 2013), Saito e Pereira (2019) e Saito (2019). Buscamos mapear os conhecimentos matemáticos que podem ser mobilizados na sua reconstrução e identificar elementos potencialmente didáticos e/ou pedagógicos. Concluímos que o processo de reconstrução nos dá indícios da mobilização de diferentes conhecimentos que estão incorporados no instrumento propiciando a construção de interface entre história e ensino de matemática. Além de fornecer interessantes insights que podem se afigurar como recursos para o desenvolvimento de atividades para o ensino de matemática, a reconstrução demonstrou ser bastante profícua para promover ações que auxiliem o professor a sobrelevar o processo de construção do conhecimento matemático.
Session 2.2 Water Under Climate Change: From Sustainable Management to Resilient Stewardship
Authors: Sluder Mary
Published: March 2022

Sustainable water management under climate change is ill-recognized given its importance, and it is unclear which policy instrument is optimal in promoting it. COP26 hosted the first Water Pavilion, and among presenters and attendees of Pavilion events, I interviewed a sample with water policy and management expertise. I collected data on the effectiveness and applicability of using bottom-up economic policies for sustainable water management. It seems this approach may be beneficial in certain contexts, but participants and event hosts emphasized that resilience in water is also key. Perhaps it’s time we move beyond sustainability and management towards resilience and stewardship. SDG Theme: SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation Type: Short talk (e.g. PowerPoint, Google Slides)

This project focuses on the UN’s SDG14: Life Below Water, target 14.1. Eutrophication is a big problem to ecosystems and communities, as it kills wildlife, creates imbalances in the trophic system, and degrades water quality. The Red Tide in Florida is an important example of pollution-caused eutrophication that is indicative of eutrophication problems globally. Luckily, there are solutions that we can work together to implement on a nationwide and international level, including policy change to regulate agriculture monitoring algal bloom, finding alternatives for fertilizers, and funding research.

The Burgess Shale Fossils found in Yoho National Park are some of the oldest, most well-preserved, soft-bodies organisms ever found. These fossils provide valuable knowledge of Cambrian organisms and the origins of multicellular life. The construction of The Canadian Pacific Railway ultimately led to the discovery of these fossils by making the Kicking Horse Valley accessible to tourists, adventurers, and most importantly to our story, geologists. The railway can be seen as a vehicle of exploration, but for the First Nations peoples, it was a vehicle of exploitation that had harmed the natural environment and exploited their artifacts and resources.

La equidistribución de las actuaciones sobre el medio urbano de regeneración y renovación integrada: el nuevo paradigma para la intervención urbana en la ciudad existente
Authors: Cerezo-Ibarrondo Álvaro , Tejerina-González José Ignacio
Published: March 2022

La Ley de Economía Sostenible del año 2011, desarrollada con el RDL 8/2011 y la L3R, puso de manifiesto tanto la insostenibilidad de modelo urbanístico español como la necesidad de intervenir de forma diferente en la ciudad existente. Sin embargo, la «regeneración» como tal ha sido un fracaso ya que sigue apoyándose en las subvenciones y domina entre los urbanistas la confianza en las técnicas tradicionales para resolver el problema de la degradación de la ciudad existente, la desconfianza en la utilidad de los nuevos modelos de intervención e incluso niegan que haya novedad alguna. Los autores entienden que una de las barreras de la actuación sobre el Medio Urbano de regeneración y renovación integrada (aMU-RRi) es su carácter novedoso y la complejidad del nuevo modelo de equidistribución, por lo que proceden a desarrollarlo en la confianza de que con ello se avance en la implantación de esta actuación absolutamente inaplazable.
La integralidad como nuevo desafío para la planificación y la gestión urbana: revisión de enfoques, aproximaciones y herrramientas de intervención territorial
Authors: Bustos-Peñafiel Mónica Alejandra
Published: March 2022

La integralidad como concepto ha comenzado a tomar relevancia en el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas, instalándose como una de las principales formas de gestión urbana.Asociada a la intervención del territorio de manera multidimensional, para muchos, sin embargo, ha pasado a ser parte de la retórica neoliberal. Con el propósito de abrir el debate respecto de la necesidad de revisión del nuevo enfoque como herramienta para abordar la equidad territorial, el estudio trabaja a partir del análisis de distintos conceptos y tipos de intervención urbana que se han impuesto con el desafío de alcanzar la integralidad. Ello fue complementado con la revisión y el análisis de la metodología de implementación de las Zonas de Interés Público desarrolladas desde el Ministerio de Vivienda y Urbanismo de Chile, con el objetivo de instalar una metodología de trabajo integral que apuesta por la articulación de las acciones en el territorio.
Learning Calabar
Authors: Sullivan Anne McCrary
Published: March 2022

This book represents a close engagement with vulnerable populations in the city of Calabar in southeastern Nigeria. Following the traditions of Clifford Geertz� thick description, Elliot Eisner�s arts-based research, and Laurel Richardson�s poetic inquiry, Learning Calabar weaves prose and poetry in a hybrid form that evokes the everyday lives of gate keepers, grounds keepers, taxi drivers, cooks, and children with whom the author interacted during a Fulbright year. From the stance of a participant-observer, it traces her learning of history and the evolution of her understanding as she lived, along with her neighbors, in the chaos of governmental failure, extended power outages, and dysfunctional systems, aware that her privilege offered protections not afforded to her neighbors. This work opens doors to a long sweep of Nigerian history, while keeping a laser eye on people living now in the aftermath of that history, which is both culturally rich and politically torn. Written from the viewpoint of a learner, this book will be of interest to learners of West African history, cultural anthropology, ethnography, women�s studies, cross cultural studies, and poetic inquiry. Its vibrant voice and poetic renderings also make it accessible and engaging for general audiences.

Generally, 13% of Kenya’s arable land mass (7.5 million ha) is acidic and prone to poor phosphorus (P) availability and soil acidity. This results in crop yield losses due to the direct adverse effects Aluminium toxicity and P deficiency due to fixation of this element in the soil. The objective of this study was to develop and select P efficient maize single crosses developed by crossing as per North Carolina II mating design. Sixty maize genotypes, among them 34 single crosses were screened under acidic soils in Bumala and Maseno in a randomised complete block design. Sixty-seven percent of these single crosses were efficient, while 33% were inefficient. Two percent were efficient and responsive, 14% were inefficient but responsive, and the 79% were efficient but non-responsive. Generally, GY had a positive correlation with EH (0.45) and PH (0.61), while PH and EH had a positive correlation (r = 0.86) for the single crosses. The addition of P had significant effect on the grain yield, plant height, ear height and flowering of the genotypes at Bumala and Maseno. However, the effect of 26 kgP/ha was marginal at Maseno as compared to Bumala. The sites and genotypes varied significantly with regard to soil analysis and grain yield respectively, with the efficient and responsive genotypes selected for use in low input farming systems. Also, some of the efficient but non-responsive lines can also be selected for low input farming.

Informasi dapat diibaratkan sebagai darah yang mengalir di dalam tubuh manusia, seperti halnya informasi di dalam sebuah perusahaan yang sangat penting untuk mendukung kelangsungan perkembangannya, sehingga terdapat alasan bahwa informasi sangat dibutuhkan bagi sebuah perusahaan. Akibat bila kurang mendapatkan informasi, dalam waktu tertentu perusahaan akan mengalami ketidakmampuan mengontrol sumber daya, sehingga dalam mengambil keputusan-keputusan strategis sangat terganggu, yang pada akhirnya akan mengalami kekalahan dalam bersaing dengan lingkungan pesaingnya.
