Calculation Improvement of the Clay Content in the Hydrocarbon Formation Rocks
Authors: Al-Obaidi Sudad H
Published: December 2020

Natural radioactivity of reservoir rocks of oil and gas East Baghdad is due not only to their content of clay material, but also the existence of uranium that located in the skeleton of rocks. In connection with this, for the shale content determination of reservoir rocks, it is necessary to exclude the uranium contribution from the overall intensity of the gamma radiation. The paper presents the results of a research, using the data of spectral (standard) gamma ray logs-SGR, in which more accurate determination of the shaliness in the productive zones of the Zubair section of EastBaghdad fields (In Iraq) is proposed. With the help of a computer program, a formula that allows us to remove the effect of uranium, which affects the readings of gamma ray logging, is obtained.
From ‘Capital and Ideology’ to ‘Democracy and Evidence’: a review of Thomas Piketty
Authors: McGaughey Ewan
Published: December 2020

Thomas Piketty’s Capital and Ideology (2020) is a major, encyclopaedic and data-driven contribution to the effort of constructing a better human civilization. This review summarises the main argument: a positive thesis that in every society, ideology feeds laws and institutions that create inequality, and inequality then bolsters ideology; a normative thesis that we need a better ideology, including ‘participatory socialism’, to solve our biggest challenges. The review then complements and critiques three central issues in the argument, that (1) the true concentration of economic power, the votes in the economy, is even more extreme than inequality of wealth and income, (2) the legal construction of markets, through property, contract, corporate, or human rights law, can ‘pre-distribute’ income and wealth to a vast extent before tax, and (3) social justice means expanding (not merely correcting or re-distributing) everyone’s opportunity, creative capacity, and human potential, and helps everyone to develop their personality to the fullest. Social justice is an unparalleled force, and is still the best answer to far-right, authoritarian or other failed ideologies, which have escalated inequality and driven climate damage. Perhaps the greatest achievement of Piketty’s work could be to bring economics firmly back to the values in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. (2020) Oeconomia.
Remo measurement system: Development of a measuring system to assert on-water rowing performance
Authors: Cuijpers Laura
Published: December 2020

In crew rowing movement synchronisation is generally regarded as one of the main determinants of optimal performance. In my dissertation “Coordination dynamics of crew rowing” I conducted various studies to investigate rowers’ ability to coordinate their movements, both in traditional synchronised (in-phase) and the more innovative antiphase rowing, during which the rowers alternate their strokes (Cuijpers, 2019). To be able to measure crew coordination and the movements of the boat on-water, I developed a measurement system using open-source computer hardware and software that allows building digital devices and interactive objects. The aim of this method paper is to provide insight in how this measurement system was developed and build. While the measurement system was developed for scientific research, it can also be used in training practice to analyse crew technique and the effects thereof on boat behaviour for the benefit of crew performance.

Electoral Defeat and Party Change: When do Parties Adapt?
Authors: Pacześniak Anna , Bachryj-Krzywaźnia Maciej , Kaczorowska Małgorzata
Published: December 2020

Electoral defeat has sometimes been called the mother of party change, but is this reputation warranted? In this paper we investigate whether party characteristics such as government status, party systemic origins, or ideological family affect how parties respond to defeat. Examining 73 parties in 28 countries, considering party efforts to change their leadership, their programs and their organizations, we conclude that only systemic origin (post-communist vs. West European countries) is a relevant factor affecting depth of party change. Parties take some corrective actions after electoral defeat, however, they are not likely to be a wholesale reforms. Thus, it would be more accurate to describe electoral defeat as a midwife of a party change, not as its mother.
POST-COMBUSTION COAL DESULFURIZATION Review
Authors: Yuniar Silky Amanda , Nursanto Edy , Ernawati Rika
Published: December 2020

The sulfur content in coal ranges from 0.5 to 5%, and it is an impurity that must be removed before burning coal, due to the toxic effects and acid rain caused by SO2 gas generated from sulfur oxidation. Sulfur cleaning technology can be carried out on coal before combustion (pre-combustion), and can reduce the inorganic sulfur content by up to 50%; however, it cannot reduce the organic sulfur content. Therefore, the industry relies on post-combustion desulfurization to remove SO2 from the gas from coal combustion. The aim of the coal desulfurization review is to direct desulfurization research to be efficient and effective, as well as to be environmentally friendly. Sulfur in coal consists of organic sulfur and inorganic sulfur. Coal inorganic sulfur consists of pyrite (FeS2), sulfate, and sulfide. The largest composition is pyrite. Organic sulfur consists of hetero-atomic and heterocyclic (thiophenic) macromolecules that bind N and O atoms, aromatic sulfides, and aromatic disulfides (small amounts). Inorganic sulfur can easily be separated from coal by means of flotation, microwave energy, magnetic forces, ultrasonic energy, and as well as microorganisms. Meanwhile, organic sulfur cannot be separated from coal by using the methods used in the inorganic sulfur separation process. Organic sulfur can be removed by chemical and biodesulfurization, however, this process is inefficient for industrial scale. The most recommended method is the absorption of SO2 gas in the gas from coal combustion, or post-combustion desulfurization. Various methods have also been investigated to separate SO2 gas, and more details will be described in this paper.
Jewish Immigrant Theatre and the Argentinean Avant-Gardes: The Case ofIbergusin 1926 Buenos Aires
Authors: Tova Markenson C.
Published: December 2020

The 1926 production of Yiddish playwright Leib Malakh’s Ibergus, a naturalistic play featuring a Jewish prostitute, has been interpreted as the culmination of Jewish immigrant efforts to “cleanse” the Argentinean Yiddish theatres of their supposed proprietors: a ring of Jewish pimps. Scholars focus on how Ibergus, directed using avant-gardist staging techniques by Yakov Botoshansky, contested the influence of the Jewish prostitution ring, which allegedly insisted that Yiddish impresarios produce a “lowbrow” repertoire rather than modernist plays. This essay offers a new understanding of the significance of Ibergus by arguing that it continued a longstanding trend of avant-garde Yiddish theatre in Buenos Aires and within transnational performance networks. By attending to multiple dimensions of this production – including the surrounding intra-ethnic conflict, construction of public discourse, and staging elements – I show how the creators of Ibergus exploited dominant assumptions about the Yiddish theatre’s rumoured relationship to prostitution for their own professional gain. Doing so reveals the significance of Ibergus in the history and theorization of the theatrical avant-gardes and contributes to conversations about the relationship between discourse and practice in global theatre histories.

Sea Level Anomaly and Earthquake Predictions: Endangered Countries Prognostications
Authors: Hassan Raini , Utsha Abid Ebna Saif , Noman Mahfuzealahi
Published: December 2020

Natural calamities are often unforeseen and cause massive destruction. It is extremely difficult to predict natural disasters. Existing machine learning techniques are not reliable enough to find the affected countries due to earthquakes and rising sea levels. The aim of this paper is to use predictive analysis to find the countries that will be affected by earthquakes and rising sea levels. Also, the purpose is to see how machine learning techniques perform in terms of sudden calamities like earthquakes or slow calamities like rising sea level. The results was deduced by data analysis, and deep learning techniques like Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM). It was found out that using the approached method in this paper can accurately identify the countries that are going to be affected and predict both earthquake and sea level anomalies accurately. For earthquake, the model was able to capture the happening of earthquake events into a certain quarter of the year with the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 0.504. And for sea level rise, the RMSE was 0.064. It was concluded that Deep learning techniques (e.g.-LSTM) work well with slow changes like sea level anomaly rather than earthquakes. The techniques used in this paper can be upgraded further in the future to find and help more endangered countries to be prepared better against these sudden calamities.
Internet of Things: Ideological Prospects and its Social Implication to The Muslim Community
Authors: Yunusa Jeddah Mohammed , Adam Sa’ad Auwal , Abubakar Adamu
Published: December 2020

This paper sought after identifying some likely traps a Muslim might fall into because of the geometric improvement in the field of network connectivity, with a strict focus on Internet of Things (IoT). The principal aim was to reawaken the people (Muslims) on their sole purpose on this earth as they swim in the pool of development and ease of doing things brought about by this technology. A Muslim should remain focused, despite the lures of things around him. This technology is studied together with the obvious problems it has come with. Findings showed some scary deep black holes a Muslim may fall into without really knowing he is into rebellious acts against the dictates of his religion, Islam. Due to their vulnerability, the Internet of Things devices could be compromised and used in committing illegal acts against humanity. This study would declare that these devices are so vulnerable that they can be used in perpetrating things like identity theft, snooping (privacy violation) and different other forms of crimes which are obviously not in conformity with Islamic dictates. Furthermore, it would additionally assert that the Internet of Things is one of the technologies which carry along so much to worry about in terms of ethics, social relationship and by extension even religious concerns (as stated in this paper). It was also instituted that the producers of these devices are yet to discover (or make a proper attempt to) a convincing solution to this problem. These findings establish the accomplishment of the fact that Muslims should always study deeply and be skeptical and investigative towards utilizing each technology to the fullest without infringing on the rights of Allah.

Authors: Said Ahmad Ibrahim , Ahmad Hafsa Kabir , Aliyu Saminu Muhammad , Ahmad Ahmad Muhammad
Published: December 2020

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral disorder that is prevalent in children and adolescents. ADHD affects student’s learning due to its symptoms which are inability to stay focused, hyperactivity, and challenges in self-control. In this paper, we explore the use of mobile games to engage children diagnosed with ADHD. Mobile games are now widely used in learning, which is part of mobile learning. Previous studies have shown a positive relationship between digital games and learning for children with ADHD. Therefore, we designed and developed a mobile game based on existing literature on techniques used to retain the attention and engage children with ADHD. The study was evaluated based on the duration of time the children spent playing the game and their activities and interactions while playing the game. Our findings showed that mobile-based games can be used to engage children with ADHD.

Waste Management Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Algorithms
Authors: Sami Khan Nasik , Amin Zian Md Afique , Hassan Raini
Published: December 2020

Waste Management is one of the essential issues that the world is currently facing does not matter if the country is developed or under developing. The key issue in this waste segregation is that the trash bin at open spots gets flooded well ahead of time before the beginning of the following cleaning process. The isolation of waste is done by unskilled workers which is less effective, time-consuming, and not plausible because of a lot of waste. So, we are proposing an automated waste classification problem utilizing Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms. The goal of this task is to gather a dataset and arrange it into six classes consisting of glass, paper, and metal, plastic, cardboard, and waste. The model that we have used are classification models. For our research we did comparisons between four algorithms, those are CNN, SVM, Random Forest, and Decision Tree. As our concern is a classification problem, we have used several machine learning and deep learning algorithm that best fits for classification solutions. For our model, CNN accomplished high characterization on accuracy around 90%, while SVM additionally indicated an excellent transformation to various kinds of waste which were 85%, and Random Forest and Decision Tree have accomplished 55% and 65% respectively
Development of Classification Methods for Wheeze and Crackle Using Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC): A Deep Learning Approach
Authors: Sadi Tinir Mohamed , Hassan Raini
Published: December 2020

The most common method used by physicians and pulmonologists to evaluate the state of the lung is by listening to the acoustics of the patient's breathing by a stethoscope. Misdiagnosis and eventually, mistreatment are rampant if auscultation is not done properly. There have been efforts to address this problem using a myriad of machine learning algorithms, but little has been done using deep learning. A CNN model with MFCC is expected to mitigate these problems. The problem has been in the paucity of large enough datasets. Results show 0.76 and 0.60 for recall for wheeze and crackle respectively, these number are set to increase with optimization.
Positional Vision of Poetic Text Structures as a Tool of Interpretation (Based on the Poems of Joseph Brodsky)
Authors: Zabashta Roman Valentinovich
Published: December 2020

The article is devoted to the application of the positional vision of the structures of a literary text to the categorical apparatus of the functional theory of text.
The relevance of the problem under consideration is explained by the need to systematize the methodological concepts of various concepts in modern Russian studies and to develop, on this basis, methodological recommendations that can improve the use of the textocentric approach with focus on school education.
The article uses philological methods of modern text theory, in particular, structural theory of text (Yu. M. Lotman), stylistic analysis of a literary text (N. A. Rudiakov), linguistic tool studies (A. N. Rudiakov), methods of highlighting intense positions of text (I. V. Arnold), some ideas of communicative stylistics (N. S. Bolotnova), as well as original author's methods.
The study material are presented by poems by Joseph Brodsky: «Vse chuzhdo v dome novomu zhiltcu…» (1962), «V derevne Bog zhivet ne po uglam…» (1964 ) and «Ty ne skazhesh komaru…» (1991), the experience of the interpretation of which made it possible to illustrate the epistemological effectiveness of the positional approach.
The results of the research allow us to systematize the ideas about the basic principles of linguistic and hermeneutical description of a literary text. Modeling of the functional relationship between the conceptual information of a poetic text and its significant components, identified when using the concept of "strong position of the text", is possible by applying a General regulatory understanding of language activity, which is based on the approach to language as a tool for speech influence on the individual picture of the recipient's world.
The conclusions reached by the author of the article make it possible to clarify the basic concepts of the functional theory of text related to the interpretation of the elements of the individual author's world picture in the literary text and also to offer a methodological basis for applying linguistic knowledge to the issues of text analysis in school practice.
O QUE DIZEM AS PESQUISAS ACERCA DA MOTIVAÇÃO PARA O ENSINO DE QUÍMICA?
Authors: Batista Laura Spohr , Wenzel Judite Scherer
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho contempla um recorte do trabalho de conclusão de curso de Pós-Graduação Latu Sensu em Orientação Educacional. No decorrer do curso muito se discutiu sobre a orientação educacional e os desafios da permanência e da motivação dos estudantes em contexto escolar. Diante disso, com base no referencial histórico cultural de Leontiev (2012) buscamos entender como o termo motivação vem sendo compreendido junto ao ensino de Química e quais as estratégias ou práticas de ensino que estão relacionadas. Os resultados foram construídos mediante uma revisão bibliográfica na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), no período de 2000 a 2019 e a análise foi de cunho qualitativo e documental. Como um desafio à motivação dos estudantes identificamos algumas limitações frente ao ensino, entre outras, a redução da prática de aprender para a memorização de termos e de teorias isoladas que são pouco significativas. Ainda, outra limitação apontada foi a dificuldade que os alunos apresentam em compreender algum fenômeno e relacioná-lo com a química. E, como alternativa frente às limitações, foi possível evidenciar a presença da motivação pelo uso da experimentação em contexto escolar por meio de minicursos, kit experimentais e oficinas.

Organizada em torno de uma Cartilha, intitulada Aprendendo a se Cuidar, e elaborada com o objetivo de orientar as famílias sobre prevenção de acidentes domésticos, higiene e doenças comuns na infância, a leitura e a discussão da cartilha ocorreram, inicialmente, na família, que registrou sua avaliação a respeito das atividades propostas pela professora. Posteriormente, em roda de conversa na escola, cada criança relatou o que aprendeu com a atividade e como foi a experiência familiar. Entende-se que, com base na proposta, houve significativa contribuição para o desenvolvimento da linguagem da criança e da sua oralidade. Reafirma-se também que, na Educação Infantil, é necessário atenta observação às crianças quanto a sinalizações em relação à aprendizagem, o que requer, seguramente, intencionalidade educativa do professor.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA VEGETAÇÃO RIPÁRIA PARA O FUNCIONAMENTO DE RIACHOS: EFEITOS DA QUALIDADE QUÍMICA E ORIGEM DAS ESPÉCIES
Authors: Hepp Luiz , Pastore Bruna
Published: December 2020

Em riachos de pequena ordem a vegetação ripária é fundamental para o funcionamento destes ecossistemas. A decomposição foliar em corpos hídricos é influenciada pelas características químicas e estruturais dos detritos e pela ação de microrganismos e invertebrados. A substituição da vegetação nativa por espécies exóticas pode influenciar nos processos ecológicos dos riachos. Os objetivos deste estudo foram avaliar as taxas de decomposição de detritos nativos e exóticos em riacho e a colonização de larvas de Phylloicus sp. nestes detritos. Foram incubados em um riacho folhas das espécies nativas Nectandra megapotamica, Cryptocaria aschersoniana, Cedrela fissilis, Eugenia uniflora, Myrcianthes pungens, Handroanthus heptaphyllus, Inga marginata e das espécies exóticas Hovenia dulcis, Pinus sp. e Eucalyptus sp. Após 3, 10, 17, 24 e 31 dias as folhas foram retiradas para análise das taxas de decomposição e abundância de Phylloicus associados. As características químicas e estruturais das folhas diferiram entre espécies e origens. A maior taxa de decomposição foi observada em E. uniflora e a menor em Pinus sp. A abundância de Phylloicus variou entre as espécies vegetais estudadas, mas não entre suas origens. As variações nas taxas de decomposição e colonização por Phylloicus estão relacionadas às características químicas e estruturais das folhas. Desta forma, estas características foliares estão associadas com a qualidade nutricional dos detritos, influenciando a decomposição. A integridade da zona ripária demonstrou ser um fator fundamental para o funcionamento de riachos.

Published: December 2020

O presente artigo procura aprimorar os estudos do direito ao acesso à justiça, a superlotação do sistema penitenciário brasileiro e os seus efeitos, o direito da assistência jurídica aos presos, e como é desenvolvido o projeto de extensão “Acesso à justiça e a uma ordem jurídica justa pelo implemento da dignidade da pessoa humana” no Presídio Regional de Santo Ângelo. Utilizou-se o método de abordagem indutivo, e por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas, estudo de normas jurídicas, e os resultados do projeto, percebeu-se como a efetivação do direito ao acesso à justiça para a população carcerária, a partir das atividades realizadas pelas ações extensionistas, possibilitam a ampliação desse direito fundamental. Quando há o reconhecimento do preso como ser humano e ator social, é mais fácil de ocorrer a ressocialização, e dessa maneira, contribuir para a redução da violência do Brasil e para a concretização do objetivo da pena privativa de liberdade, a pena mais severa imposta pelo Estado Democrático de Direito.

Authors: Chaves Taniamara Vizzotto , Gimenez Alana Pereira , Valle Dariane Andrade , Silveira Lucillana de Moraes
Published: December 2020

Este trabalho é resultado de uma pesquisa de campo desenvolvida junto à disciplina de Física Nuclear e de Partículas do curso de Licenciatura em Física de um Instituto Federal de Educação localizado no Rio Grande do Sul (RS). A atividade teve como objetivo verificar e mapear as concepções presentes no imaginário social sobre os termos/conceitos Radiação e Radioatividade. Como ferramenta de coleta de informações foi organizado um questionário que foi aplicado com sujeitos de diferentes níveis de escolarização e diversas faixas etárias. Após a aplicação, os dados foram tabulados e sistematizados a luz do referencial teórico adotado na disciplina. Os resultados obtidos evidenciam a confusão e o uso indistinto entre os termos Radiação e Radioatividade. Muitas informações transparecem ser advindas de meios de comunicação ou de vivências cotidianas. O grau de escolarização dos participantes não é um fator preponderante para o entendimento e a diferenciação dos termos reforçando a concepção de que a escola não trabalha com estes temas, necessitando assim discussões sobre a reorganização do currículo de forma a sanar essas lacunas de entendimento; além de propiciar aos educandos um olhar crítico e autônomo sobre os acontecimentos da sociedade promovendo uma efetiva alfabetização científica.
Spiritual Cosmopolitanism, Transnational Migration, and the Bahá’í Faith
Authors: Miron Layli
Published: December 2020

Scholars have wrestled with the question of how people can be persuaded to extend feelings of kinship beyond their own ethnic or national groups. This article identifies spiritual cosmopolitanism, whose principles of universal love and harmony can be found in the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith, as key to such borderless solidarity. Drawing on data gathered from interviews with Iranian refugees who have settled in the United States, the article demonstrates how cosmopolitan principles shape the worldviews of Bahá’ís. Through this case study, spiritual cosmopolitanism’s potential to enrich public arguments for the inclusion of Others such as immigrants becomes apparent.
Crisis and the Power of an Inclusive Historical Consciousness
Authors: Smith Todd
Published: December 2020

In view of the many crises now facing humanity—such as the coronavirus pandemic, overt racial strife, environmental degradation, and political turmoil and extremism—this essay has two objectives. The first objective, addressed in Part One, is diagnostic. Specifically, it is to examine two macro habits of mind that are described as delusional because, while they may seem warranted, they in fact perpetuate defects of being, doing, and associating that, in turn, exacerbate the crises before us. These two habits of mind, namely, the habit of totalizing reality and the habit of fragmenting reality, manifest in various harmful ways, including in our compulsions to ideologize, to dichotomize, to reduce, to individualize, to hyper-consume, to dogmatize, and to otherize. The second objective, addressed in Part Two, is to propose how these delusional macro habits of mind and their associated compulsions can be overcome. It is argued that overcoming them entails embracing an inclusive historical consciousness, centered on the idea of humanity’s path to maturity, and developing the related capacities to think and act in accordance with a number of dynamic interplays, including the interplays between unity and diversity, the individual and the collective, and worship and service. Finally, it is maintained that learning to think and act in accordance with these interplays promotes what is called dynamic freedom—a condition in which the wealth of individual and collective potential is progressively realized for the benefit of all. It is hoped that this article will be of some assistance to readers’ efforts to contribute to the advancement of the discourses in which they are involved, by helping them correlate the teachings of the Bahá’í Faith with the ideas of thoughtful individuals from the larger community who are alert to the consequences of totalizing and fragmenting reality.

QUANTIFYING HABITAT CONCEPTS: POPULATION IMPACTS OF STAGE-SPECIFIC SALINITY RELATIONSHIPS FOR BLACK DRUM (POGONIAS CROMIS) IN THE UPPER LAGUNA MADRE, TEXAS USA
Authors: Olsen Zachary
Published: December 2020

Environmental factors can often have population effects on aquatic organisms, though studies of environmental effects are often specific to a given life stage. Stage-structured demographic models provide a means of exploring the multivariate suite of life history parameters associated with a population and can provide a tool for understanding population-wide impacts of single stage events (e.g., mortality and fecundity). Here, the unique dynamics observed for an isolated population of black drum (Pogonias cromis) and the population-wide impacts of salinity as a driver of young-of-the-year (YOY) survival were investigated. This modeling exercise revealed that the dynamics observed in the black drum population are potentially driven by increased survival in the post-settler/YOY stage and that this increased survival is at least partially a result of the higher salinities that typify the Upper Laguna Madre of Texas, a hypersaline estuary (34% increase in population growth rate across the range of salinity examined). Early maturation in this population was also shown to have the potential to provide infrequent, large pulses of fecundity to the population. Quantifying the population-wide impact of such drivers can place management decisions into the context of the environment and provide both a proof-of-concept for specific management action and realistic expectations for managers and constituents alike. Without such formal quantification, it will be difficult for habitat concepts to move from an abstract management tool to widespread application.
Researching carbon varieties from season-caused shell for use of H2O2 properties to treat lead
Authors: Trung Dao Minh , Nguyen Tram Thi Thanh
Published: December 2020

The study assumes lead wastewater treatment with initial concentration fixed at 30 ppm and research material, denatured coal prepared from macadamia seed shell activated by heating, and finally variable Coal calculation with H2O2 agent. The coal was modified by soaking coal in 25% H2O2 solution for 48 hours. Coal after denatured for adsorption results reached 266.26 mg/g, the research results show similarities with some previous studies. On the other hand, when analyzing the infrared spectrum of coal, the FT-IR spectroscopic results showed that after denatured coal, there were some functional groups such as OH-, C-O, C=O, C-N, functional groups capable of participating in the adsorption of heavy metals in wastewater. When observing the SEM image, the photo results of the material show that the surface of the material is rough, with many pores and different sizes evenly distributed on the surface. From SEM image results and FT-IR spectroscopy results show that the material has the ability to adsorb heavy metals by many physical and chemical mechanisms. Indeed, when researching the application of materials to the treatment of lead heavy metals in presumptive wastewater, the research results show that lead treatment efficiency reaches 94.05% when surveyed at the same optimal conditions at pH = 6 with dose of 0.4 g/L and duration of 60 minutes. The control shows that the study results are similar to some previous research results, from which it can be confirmed that the modified coal material is capable of Pb (II) treatment in wastewater.
Priorities and challenges of the EU energy transition: From the European Green Package to the new Green Deal
Authors: Hafner Manfred , Raimondi Pier Paolo
Published: December 2020

As decarbonization and climate policy are gaining relevance in the European Union (EU) energy policy, the present paper seeks to present both priorities and challenges for of the EU energy transition. As priorities, we outline the key targets and initiatives proposed and set by the European institutions in relation to the energy matters. The EU identifies renewable energy sources, energy efficiency and reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) as the three pillars to achieve its carbon neutrality. The final goal for to the EU energy and climate targets is to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Nevertheless, since given energy policy is being a “shared competence” between the EU institutions and Member States, each Member State plays a critical role for the achievement of the EU energy transition. Different socioeconomic structures and the energy mix across Europe have caused the implementation process of each EU target to develop at a different pace among European countries. We illustrate this drawing on four countries: Italy, the UK, Germany and Poland. We assess their political commitment to the energy transition and their actions regarding energy transformation. These four countries are only an example of the different pace in the implementation of the EU energy and climate targets. The last part of the paper is devoted to the ambitious plan, called Green New Deal, launched by the present Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen. It sets key priorities, reaffirming European commitments to the energy and climate transition. However, the plan faces significant obstacles. For example, division among Member States (North-South and West-East) might be a factor that could undermine the achievement of the European energy transition, due to multiple and divergent interests (also on the future role of the energy transition in the aftermath of COVID-19 and the resulting economic crisis). Another challenge is constituted by popular opposition, especially from those people that see the energy transition — and consequent economic and industrial transformation — as a potential threat to their well-being and jobs, as the French gilets jaunes show. Lastly, we explain that the European energy transition will impact also its external relations, for example with Russia, proposing how the two blocs can preserve their energy relationship in light of the energy transition, notably through the conversion of natural gas to hydrogen and storing/using the resulting CO2.
Therapeutic efficacy of Enroflon gel in the treatment of clinical and subclinical mastitis in cattle
Authors: Rogov R. V. , Lyusin E. A.
Published: December 2020

Relevance. The work is devoted to the study of the therapeutic effect of the drug Enroflon gel on cows of the Holstein black-and-white breed during the period of intensive lactation. Due to the fact that drugs for intracisternal administration based on enrofloxacin and ketoprofen were not used at domestic livestock enterprises, the goal was to study the therapeutic efficacy of the drug in the treatment of clinical and subclinical mastitis of bacterial etiology.

Methods. The production experience was carried out in the conditions of the economy of LLC “Babaevo”, with. Babaevo, Sobinsky District, Vladimir Region. Two experimental groups of Holsteinized black-and-white cows with live weight of 500–600 kg with a milk yield of 6000–7000 l/year were formed. When determining the number of somatic cells in milk samples, we used the Kenotest system and the Somatos-V-2K milk analyzer. The presence of a residual amount of antibiotic in milk was determined by inhibitory microbiological tests. Hematological parameters in cows were carried out at the Department of Disease Diagnostics, Therapy, Obstetrics and Animal Reproduction of the Moscow State Academy of Medical Sciences K.I. Scriabin. The drug Enroflon gel was injected intracisternally into the inflamed udder lobe in clinical and subclinical mastitis in cows during lactation. For 15 days, the clinical condition of the cows was monitored. The investigated drug was manufactured at LLC “VIC-Animal Health”.

Results. In the treatment of clinical and subclinical mastitis of bacterial etiology in cows during the period of intensive milk production with the use of Enroflon gel, a high therapeutic effect was obtained: 80 and 100%, respectively. The clinical condition of cows during production experiments without deviations from the physiological norm.
Study of Granitoid Distribution at Toboali Waters, Bangka Belitung Province: Seismic data interpretation approach
Authors: Zulfikar Muhammad , Aryanto Noor Cahyo Dwi , Nur Andi Agus , Syafri Ildrem
Published: December 2020

Bangka Island is one of the islands in Indonesia which is traversed by Southeast Asia granitoid belt. This belt stretches from Burma (Myanmar) to Bangka Belitung. This granitoid has potential as a source rock of mineral that carrying tin and rare earth element. At present, mapping of granitoid rocks to the waters area is rarely published, so acoustic basement mapping is necessary to do in order to determine the distribution of granitoids in Toboali waters. The research method used is a single channel seismic with an energy source of 300 joules. The sound source uses a single plate boomer, so it has a high enough resolution but the penetration is not deep enough. Acoustic basement in Toboali waters varies in depth from 15 - 75 ms or getting deeper south. When viewed from the continuity of the acoustic basement, it is estimated that the granitoid is 7 km from the nearest coastline.
An Efficient ACO+RVND for Solving the Resource-Constrained Deliveryman Problem
Authors: Bang Ban Ha
Published: December 2020

In this paper, Resource-Constrained Deliveryman Problem (RCDMP) is introduced. The RCDMP problem deals with finding a tour with minimum waiting time sum so that it consumes not more than the $R_{max}$ unites of the resources, where $R_{max}$ is some constant. Recently, an algorithm developed in a trajectory-based metaheuristic has been proposed. Since the search space of the problem is a combinatorial explosion, the trajectory-based sequential can only explore a subset of the search space, therefore, they easily fall into local optimal in some cases. To overcome the drawback of the current algorithms, we propose a population-based algorithm that combines an Ant Colony Algorithm (ACO), and Random Variable Neighborhood Descent (RVND). In the algorithm, ACO explores the promising solution areas while RVND exploits them with the hope of improving a solution. Extensive numerical experiments and comparisons with the state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms in the literature show that the proposed algorithm reaches better solutions in many cases.
