Background: Forebrain embryonic zinc finger-like (FEZL) gene is an important candidate associated with mastitis resistance in dairy cattle. FEZL is involved in transcriptional regulation of neuronal development and there exists a crosstalk between neuronal development and immunity via downstream cytokine expression. A single glycine insertion into glycine stretch of FEZL gene has large effect on downstream cytokine pathway making the cows susceptible to mastitis. The present study was aimed to sequence characterize FEZL gene in Sahiwal (Bos indicus) and Karan Fries (Bos inidcus X Bos taurus) cattle. Methods: Sequence characterization of bovine FEZL gene was carried out by primer walking method. Ten sets of oligonucleotide primers were designed to synthesize overlapping fragments and generate the complete sequence of about 3.7 kb covering all exons and 5’ upstream regulatory and flanking regions. Result: A total of eight nucleotide variations including three INDELS and five substitution mutations were observed among FEZL gene sequences of Bos taurus, Bos indicus (Sahiwal) and Bos taurus X Bos indicus (Karan Fries) cattle. The conceptualized amino acid sequence of bovine FEZL gene in Sahiwal and Karan Fries cattle was found to have 13 tandem Glycine residues and a serine to proline change within exon 1 region. The percent identity of FEZL gene of Sahiwal and Karan Fries cattle was 99% with that of Bos taurus, 95% with dog, horse and pig, 94% with human, 93% with rabbit, 92% with marmoset, 89% with rat and 79% with chicken. Sequence characterization of ~0.7 kb 5’ flanking region showed that it is highly conserved among bovines and resulted in prediction of six putative sites for binding of transcription factors (including Elk-1, Oct-1, HNF4, Lmo2 complex, GATA-3 and Nkx2-5). Elucidation of Bos indicus FEZL gene will further form the basis to identify candidate gene markers for association with mastitis resistance/susceptibility in cattle.

Background: Proteus mirabilis is one of the organisms which is often associated with urinary tract infections of humans as well as animals. As a member of Enterobacteriaceae family, the level of antimicrobial resistance tend to pose a significant public health risk. Hence, the present study was undertaken to study antibiogram profiles, multidrug resistance P. mirabilis isolates and detection of β-lactamase activity in them. Methods: A total of 175 P. mirabilis isolates from different sources were subjected to antibiotic sensitivity/ resistant test by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Detection of ESBL production was done phenotypically by Phenotypic Screening Test and Phenotypic Confirmation Test as recommended by CLSI guidelines and genotypically using multiplex PCR assay to detect different classes of β-lactamase genes. This study was carried out from March 2017 to August 2018 in and around areas of Krishna District Andhra Pradesh. Result: Out of 175 P. mirabilis isolates screened, antibiogram revealed highest sensitivity towards gentamicin (76.57%), followed by ampicillin (64.57%), kanamycin (61.14%), amikacin (60.57%) and streptomycin (43.42%). Higher resistance was observed for erythromycin (71.42%), nalidixic acid (62.85%), ciprofloxacin (62.85%), tetracycline (60%), polymyxin-B (60%), cefoxitin (49.14%) and amikacin (36%). β-lactamase genes were detected in a total of 23 isolates (13.14%). Prevalence rates of β-lactamase genes among different samples was 23.6%, 11.1%, 10.8% and 42.8% from chicken, pork, poultry cloacal swabs and human urine samples, respectively with blaTEM being the predominant gene detected (69.56%) followed by blaOXA (26.08%), blaAmpC gene FOX (13.04%), blaCTX-M group I (4.34%), blaSHV (4.34%) and blaAmpC gene CIT (4.34%) among all the tested P. mirabilis isolates.

Background: The corriedale sheep breed was imported into J and K during sixties for use in improvement of local sheep and are maintained at Mountain Research Station of Sheep and Goat, SKUAST- K. The animals over the years were allowed to mate within the selected animals of the flock as there was hardy any fresh importation of exotic animals from last 49 years due to which closed flock population was established within the farm. This has led to apprehensions over the loss of genetic diversity through years. Methods: The present study was to undertaken to evaluate the performance of Corriedale sheep under temperate climate and to estimate the inbreeding coefficient and its effect on growth and fitness traits of Corriedale sheep maintained at Mountain Research Centre for Sheep and Goat (MRCSG), F.V.Sc and A.H, SKUAST-K Shuhama, Kashmir. The information on performance and pedigree spanning over a period of 49 years (1969-2017) was collected and utilized for the study. The traits studied were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), 6 months weight (6MW), 9 months weight (9MW) and 12 months weight (12MW) age at first lambing (AFL), litter size (LS), total lambs born per ewe (TLB) and survival rate (SR). Result: The averages estimates for BW, WW, 6MW, 9MW, 12MW, AFL, LS, TLB and SR were 3.72±0.01 kg, 13.31±0.07 kg, 18.65±0.05kg, 22.15±0.04 kg, 25.84±0.06 kg 807.20±4.34 days, 1.08±0.00, 4.83±0.03 and 80.76±1.98, respectively. The overall inbreeding coefficient (F) and proportion of population inbred (per cent) for Corriedale sheep were 18.3 and 43.3, respectively. The increased inbreeding coefficient had negative impact and highly significant (p less than 0.01) on all the traits under study except LS. The increased inbreeding coefficient (F) also had a negative impact on all the traits under study. With increase in the level of inbreeding there was a decrease in total body weight traits, lambs born per ewe and survival rate where as age at first lambing was increasing with the increase. he results indicated as decrease of 0.25 kg, 1.45 kg, 5.04 kg, 5.53 kg and 5.48 kg in body weight of the animals at birth, weaning weight, six months, nine months and twelve months from 1969-2017. To overcome the negative impact of inbreeding coefficient in the flock introduction of genetic variability through importation of Corriedale germplasm into the farm is highly recommended.

Published: January 2021

Background: Escalating stray dog population is becoming a big problem worldwide. The chemical contraception is gaining more popularity because of its cost effectiveness, easy application and negligible complications. Methods: The present study was designed to analyze the contraceptive effect of intra-testicular injection of zinc gluconate neutralized with arginine and chlorhexidine gluconate in twenty-four sexually mature male mongrel dogs divided into four groups viz I, II, III and IV each of six animals. Groups I, II and III were treated with zinc gluconate neutralized with arginine, 5% and 4% chlorhexidine gluconate, respectively and group IV were kept as control. The testicular biopsy samples were collected on day 0 and 30 using 16-gauge biopsy gun. The ultrasonographic examination of testes was done on day 0, 5, 15, 24 and 30. Result: The noteworthy microscopic changes at day 30 such as irregular basement membranes with severe depletion of both germinal and sertoli cells were observed in all the treatment groups. The ultrasonography revealed degenerated testicles and significant diminution in the testicular length by day 30 in all the treatment groups. Thus, intra-testicular injection of zinc gluconate neutralized with arginine, 5% and 4% chlorhexidine gluconate may be used for chemical contraception in dogs.

Published: January 2021

Background: Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH), also known as somatoliberin is a releasing hormone of growth hormone (GH). GHRH is a peptide hormone found mainly in the hypothalamus. The gene is significantly associated with increase milk yield in cattle. The objective of this study was to identify the polymorphism in the GHRH gene (GHRH/HaeIII) and to evaluate the relationship between the polymorphism with the breeding values for first lactation milk production and composition traits of Sahiwal cattle reared using PCR-RFLP. Methods: A total of 130 animals were included in the study. PCR-RFLP analysis of each 297bp PCR product was carried out using HaeIII restriction enzyme. The single trait animal model was considered for the estimation of breeding values using WOMBAT software. To study the effect of genotype on the individual trait, PROC GLM (SAS 4.3) was used. Result: PCR-RFLP analysis of GHRH gene revealed three genotypes with genotypic frequencies as; 0.05 (AA), 0.42 (AB) and 0.53 (BB). The allelic frequencies for A and B allele were 0.26 and 0.74, respectively. Sahiwal cows with AA genotype have significantly higher (p less than 0.017) fat percentage in milk while the cows with BB genotype; while the BB genotype cows characterized by significantly higher (p less than 0.025) first lactation 305 day milk yield. Among the three genotypes, BB was most abundant while AA genotype was rarest in the screened Sahiwal samples. The identified potential genetic marker could be used for the development of Marker Assisted Selection (MAS) strategy for higher milk yield and milk composition traits in Sahiwal cattle.

Authors: Shobanadevi C. , Elangaimannan R. , Vadivel K.
Published: January 2021

Background: Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] is an important pulse crop occupying a unique position in Indian agriculture. Blackgram provides a major share of the protein requirement of the vegetarian population of the country. The crop is resistant to adverse climatic conditions and improves the soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil. Phenotypically stable genotypes are of great importance because the environmental conditions vary from season to season and year to year. Stable performance of blackgram genotypes across contrasting environments is essential for the successful selection of stable and high yielding varieties. Methods: A total of seven genotypes of blackgram were evaluated one season (Rabi - 2019) in three environments to study the G x E interaction for three traits. Result: Based on the stability analysis of Eberhart and Russell model, two genotypes viz., MDU 1 and NRIB 002 were found to be stable across the environments for seed yield. These genotypes had high seed yield with a unity regression coefficient and deviation from regression equal to zero.
Entomopathogenic Fungal Screening against Two Spotted Spider Mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch in Tomato and Broad Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) in Chilli
Authors: Parveen S. Sumaiya , Ramaraju K. , Jeyarani S.
Published: January 2021

Background: Entomopathogenic fungi are microorganisms that specifically infect and often kill insects and other arthropods. Most are non-pathogenic to plants and relatively non-toxic to humans and animals. Use of fungal entomopathogens can be an alternative to insecticides and could help in bio-intensive pest management. The current study aimed to study the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungal isolates against two Spotted Spider Mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch in tomato and broad Mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) in chilli. Methods: An extensive survey for the natural occurrence of entomopathogenic fungi on insects and mites was made in different agro climatic regions of Tamil Nadu during 2013 and 2014. Survey revealed the occurrence of two entomopathogenic fungi viz., Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin and Metarhizium flavoviride Gams and Rozsypal var. minus. Laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the pathogenicity of fourteen isolates of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium lecanii against Tetranychus urticae and Polyphagotarsonemus latus. Result: In opposition to T. urticae, the Beauveria bassiana isolate Bb 112 showed the highest toxicity of all the other isolates tested, with low LC50 value of 0.6 x106 spores ml-1 and LT50 of 92.60h. Against P. latus, Bb 112 had high virulence with low LC50 value of 0.3x106 spores ml-1 and LT50 value of 92.32h. Hence, there is potential for use of entomopathogenic fungi in the field conditions as an alternate control method in combating the insect pests and other arthropod pests since they are considered natural mortality agents and are environmentally safe.
Influence of Adjacent and Border Crops on the Incidence of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Maize
Authors: Shanmugam P.S. , Sangeetha M. , Ayyadurai P. , Prasad Y.G.
Published: January 2021

Background: Maize is one of the predominant millets cultivated in an area of 6500 ha both under drip and open irrigation systems in Dharmapuri district. The infestation of invasive insect pest Spodoptera frugiperda poses major threat to maize cultivation and increased the cost towards plant protection since 2018. In the integrated pest management strategies, the benefits of growing border and inter crop has been studied in detail but least emphasis was given to the crops grown in adjacent fields to the main crop. The cropping pattern in Dharmapuri district is highly diversified and the farmers prefer to grow more number of crops across the seasons compared to other maize growing areas. Methods: The present survey envisages the influence of adjacent and border crops on the incidence of fall armyworm in maize. The field incidence of fall armyworm in maize crop surrounded by other crops such as tapioca, nerium, cotton and maize fields with blackgram, cowpea and sesame as border crops were studied during kharif season of 2018 and 2019. Result: The maize fields surrounded by tapioca and nerium crop recorded lower fall armyworm incidence (3.00 - 10.00%) followed by field surrounded by tapioca on either side of maize (4.50 - 14.50%) during 15 to 60 days after emergence. Growing of border crops such as blackgram, sesame and cowpea recorded 24.50, 23.50 and 16.50% incidence at 60 DAE, respectively. With regard to grain yield, no marked variation was observed in different crop combination. The higher return (Rs. 86040/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.65) was observed in maize crop adjacent to tapioca and nerium crop. The lower net return (Rs. 75360/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.36) was realized in maize crop adjacent to maize crop. In most of the management strategies pulses have been inducted either border or intercrop to attract natural enemies and thwart the host insects. In the present survey, tapioca and nerium crop combination reduces the fall armyworm incidence. Hence tapioca and nerium crop combinations can be tried as border crop to push the fall armyworm away from the maize crop. The days required for advanced planting and crop combinations should be studied in detail to devise effective fall armyworm management strategies.
Migrant-native differentials in the uptake of (in)formal childcare in Belgium: The role of mothers’ employment opportunities and care availability
Authors: Biegel Naomi , Wood Jonas , Neels Karel
Published: January 2021

Objective: we explore migrant-native differentials in the uptake of formal and informal childcare and whether this is induced by lower demand for childcare versus differential access to (in)formal childcare compared to natives.

Background: The rise in female labour market participation in recent decades has challenged parents to negotiate work and family responsibilities and organise childcare. Belgium is among the European countries with the highest availability of formal childcare, but maternal employment and uptake of childcare are substantially lower in migrant populations.

Methods: Combining linked microdata from the 1991 and 2001 censuses with contextual data on childcare availability at the municipality level, we use multinomial logit models to study childcare use and type of childcare arrangement among parents having a young child in 2001. As access to childcare and maternal employment are mutually endogenous, we use estimated employment opportunities.

Results: We find considerable migrant-native differentials in childcare use, as well as substantial differences between first and second generation migrants. Second generation mothers of Turkish, Moroccan and Eastern-European background are less likely than natives to use childcare, and more likely to rely on informal arrangements if childcare is used. Controlling for socio-demographic characteristics and differential availability of (in)formal childcare largely accounts for differences in childcare use, but Turkish and Moroccan women remain less likely to use care and first generation Turkish mothers remain more likely to use informal care as opposed to formal childcare.

Conclusions: While differences in socio-demographic characteristics, labour market opportunities and availability of (in)formal care provide a partial explanation, partial migrant-native differentials in childcare use persist for specific groups, suggesting that other factors inhibit the uptake of formal childcare.

Published: January 2021

A importância de considerar as pontes térmicas e seus impactos no cálculo de transmitância térmica é um assunto que tem sido discutido em regiões de clima com estação fria no Brasil. A presença de pontos vulneráveis no envelope do edifício pode ter consequências no desempenho térmico, além das implicações nas paredes e coberturas do edifício, como por exemplo a formação de fungos filamentosos. Várias normas e regulamentos tratam da temática. Esse estudo tem por objetivo discutir, por intermédio de simulação computacional, a necessidade das normas Brasileiras de desempenho considerarem a possibilidade de formação de fungos filamentosos nas edificações com baixo e elevado isolamento térmico. Na análise examina-se as condições termo-higrométricas próximas a estrutura de concreto armado do modelo da edificação onde ocorrem as pontes térmicas, e as superfícies dos fechamentos vertical, de alvenaria, para todas as fachadas. Os resultados mostram que existe uma elevada probabilidade de crescimento dos fungos filamentosos nas pontes térmicas quando o edifício é mais isolado, ou seja, apresenta baixa transmitância térmica.

Published: January 2021

A utilização da vegetação como elemento de fachada ainda compreende uma prática bastante incipiente, mas tem se popularizado devido à promessa de melhoria no desempenho térmico das edificações, além de representar uma alternativa de ampliação da biodiversidade no ambiente urbano. Neste trabalho investiga-se a influência das paredes verdes, no contexto climático brasileiro, sobre o desempenho térmico de edifícios habitacionais de interesse social. Como metodologia, utiliza-se a simulação do comportamento termoenergético de um edifício habitacional multifamiliar, por meio d­o programa EnergyPlus, incluindo-se o modelo HAMT que leva em conta o processo de transferência de umidade através da envoltória, para três zonas bioclimáticas previstas na norma NBR 15.220-2005, clima extremo para inverno (ZB1), clima extremo de verão (ZB8) e para um clima considerado como intermediário (ZB3). Os resultados obtidos demonstram uma diferença na temperatura interna dos ambientes, decorrente dos dois arranjos de fachada analisados: com e sem vegetação. O uso da parede verde proporcionou uma redução na temperatura interna de até 2,8 °C no verão e um aumento de até 1,4 °C no inverno. Observa-se que a vegetação na fachada ajudou a manter a temperatura interna mais baixa durante o dia e amena durante a noite. Logo, as paredes verdes podem representar uma solução sustentável e de baixo custo a ser implantada às edificações, visando melhorar seu desempenho térmico.
Some Special Features of Military and Economic Activities Within the Period of COVID-19 Related Crisis
Authors: Kazennov S. , Kumachev V. , Koroleva E.
Published: January 2021

COVID-19 related crisis is a collective designation of the current stage of the global system crisis, in which COVID-19 is a catalyst and a trigger of many ongoing processes, including destructive and destabilizing ones. The impact of this pandemic on military-economic activities (MEA) is direct and indirect. On the one hand, it is hampering MEA direct functioning, including personnel supply, a decrease in solvent demand, the possibility of financing and the implementation of military-technical cooperation. On the other hand, global tensions, confrontation, psychological instability and behavioral radicalism are on the rise under the COVID-19 conditions. And this is reflected in the demand for military power, power tools as a certain kind of “safety belt” and, accordingly, for MEA products, including non-traditional ones, for “hybrid” confrontations. In addition, due to the pandemic, the role of MEA as one of the “locomotives” of the recovery from the trap of the crisis, and as a technological incubator, has increased. Under the crisis conditions, the most important task for MEA is to increase its functional and economic efficiency. Taking into account the limited resources of MEA, in any case they should provide reliable military security of the Russian Federation (RF), so-called asymmetric deterrence. Drawing Russia into a costly arms race would be unacceptable, as it would contribute to the collapse of the country, like it has been the case with the USSR. Therefore, the issue of proper distribution of funds and resources within the framework of the entire national security complex of the RF between its foreign, military and home, socio-economic components is an acute one. In this regard, a pressing issue is to set tough priorities in determining the key directions of development of MEA of the Russian Federation, technological and military-technical policy, and the defense sector as a whole. And that should be reflected in the planning and implementation of the state armament program, the state defense order and other measures in the field of national defense and security.

WESTERN METHODOLOGY TO STUDY RELIGION WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO COMPARATIVE RELIGION
Authors:   Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University, Rajouri, Malik Mohd Ashraf
Published: January 2021

The systematic study and comparison of religions have traversed a long path since Max Muller wrote Comparative Mythology in 1856. Muller had predicted about the ‘Science of Religion’ (Religionswissenschaft) as the ‘Science’ that is based on an impartial and truly scientific comparison of all, or at all events, of the most important religions of mankind. Such an approach was developed in contrast to the reductionist tendencies as found in the anthropological, sociological and psychological theories put forward by the scholars as E. B. Tylor, James Frazer, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim, and Sigmund Freud, etc. The process of studying religions comparatively implied the understanding and appreciation for the religious phenomenon without passing any judgement on the religion studied. In the succeeding pages we will be discussing and analysing the approach and method known as phenomenological method in the study of religions. Such a method is a modified or revised form of comparative religion methodology as was envisioned by Max Muller in the 19th century.

Anemia is one of the most nutritional problem in the world, including Indonesia. The World Health Organization (WHO) stated that the prevalence of anemia in the world reachs 40-88% and in Indonesia reach 26%. Anemia sufferers can decreased immunity, thus increasing the risk of being infected with the virus during the COVID-19 pandemic. The efforts to prevent anemia and increase body immunity have to be done, one of which is by eating food that rich in iron and immunomodulator sources. Therefore, BISNECO was created by formulation of mashed red dragon fruit, moringa leaves powder, and red ginger powder. It is an innovative biscuit that substituted with natural iron sources and immunomodulators. Biscuits as the most favorite snack of various people, such as children, adolescents, and adults with varoius economic conditions. BISNECO was made on baking principle, while the subtitients was made by drying and milling principle. The substituents were added to the biscuit dough and then baked at 120°C for 10 minutes. The Critical Control Points (CCPs) on BISNECO production are baking and cooling. The result of the analysis conducted showed that BISNECO has iron content as much as 29.064 mg/100 g with 22.836 mg/100 g degradated cause of baking process. If BISNECO consume as much as 100 grams for 21 consecutive days will increase Hb in the blood by 1.96 g/dl. BISNECO also contains 6-shogaol and 1-dehydro-6-gingerdion which effectively inhibit the production of nitric oxide and prostagladin E2 by activating macrophages to control immunity. Based on that role, BISNECO can prevent anemia and risk of Covid-19 infection. BISNECO is packaged in a multilayer standing pouch packaging with a zipper lock. The standing pouch packaging was made from polypropylene, aluminium, and enamel. It be done to keeps it’s quality and safety during the distibutions to consumers.

At the moment, office work has a pretty strict protocol. Restrictions were made to prevent the spread of the corona virus. One is the activity on the Universitas Islam Indonesia integrated campus. On the Universitas Islam Indonesia integrated campus are local servers that must be secured daily. Of course, every server needs security, both resource and security. Looking at security, all this time security checks are done by checking directly for traffic on computers that access the server. It's not nearly flexible, of course, considering when this pandemic is a controlled activity. Therefore it required a system capable of giving notification to the Universitas Islam Indonesia network administrator in order to monitor conditions in real time. The conditions read are usually The Times when network traffic is in danger. The danger is always present in a system alert. In research this time, I have a design solution that will finally get use of tools from the security information and event management: Splunk, who will be used as a tool to implement the alert system by using both telegrams as his information medium. Research restrictions conducted with specimen data testing on the firewall logs with traffic from Board of Information System, Universitas Islam Indonesia. It is hoped that this research will find a novel solution to help administrators receive real-time information /alert from Universitas Islam Indonesia network traffic.

Currently the world is facing a global problem in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic. The spread of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to move significantly, especially in Indonesia. Since it was announced by President Joko Widodo in early March until now, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 has reached 418.375 cases. The impact of COVID-19 is a serious threat to the global economy. COVID-19 attacks the movement of stocks on global exchanges. The Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) has touched its lowest level in history due to COVID-19. COVID-19 can be considered as an event that occurs out of control, so of course it will affect various sectors, particularly the economic sector, by spreading fear for investors and creating uncertainty in the global economy. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the IHSG and to build a model that can be used for forecasting. The analytical method used is intervention analysis. The intervention model is used to model data that contains shocks. In this case, the suspected shock is the COVID-19. The intervention function used is the step function. Furthermore, risk measurement will be carried out so that risk is at a controllable level. Measurable risk can reduce the chance of loss that may be borne by investors. The method used is Value at Risk (VaR). The risk measurement is applied to the outcome forecasting data from the intervention model. Based on the results analysis, intervention model shows that COVID-19 has had an impact and a harsh slap on IHSG. Forecasting results from the intervention model have a good accuracy, with MAPE from in-sample is 0,76%. Then the forecasting results from the intervention model have a Value at Risk (VaR) which ranges from 0,45% to 1,96% with a confidence level of 95%.

The Structure of Alpha Field located in South Sumatra Basin, Geographically located around Musi Banyu Asin, Sub-district Sungai Lilin. The target reservoir to be developed is Baturaja Formation, domination with sandstone, and consisting of 9 layers. To forecast the production of the field, it use decline curve analysis. From the existing oil production data, exponential and hyperbole charts can be created. So, the analysis of decline curve method can forecast how much hydrocarbon can be produce from the reservoir. To get the maximal recovery of oil production, field development can be done. In making a geological model or geological characterization of the Alpha field using the Oasis Montaj software. Based on the calculation results, scenario 1 which is the basecase, is unable to produce for 20 years. The cumulative value of production is 76,243.8 with an RF of 9.67%. Scenario 2 is basecase/scenario 1 plus several workover wells (WO) capable of producing for 20 years with a cumulative production value of 484,748.7 STB with an Recovery Factor (RF) value of 10.47%. Whereas scenario 3 is scenario 2 plus several workover wells with the addition of infill wells capable of producing for 20 years with a cumulative production of 2,036,907.1 STB with an RF value of 13.50%. Of the three scenarios, the best scenario is scenario 3 because it has the highest cumulative value of production and RF and is certainly capable of producing for 20 years after a simulation using the DeclineCurve Analysis method. There is a relationship between geological characterization and field development scenarios where to provide information about Alpha Field, especially which parts and wells have high productivity so that it can be used as a reference in field development, especially when determining drill points for infill wells and well workovers.

Published anonymously in 1824, The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner: Written by Himself: With a detail of curious traditionary facts and other evidence by the editor pushed the boundaries of genre. It has been called a Gothic novel, a psychological mystery, a religious satire, and an early example of modern crime fiction. The plot follows a staunch Calvinist, Robert Wringhim, who believes he is justified in killing those he believes are already damned by God. A masterclass of metafiction, many of the events are narrated twice; first by the 'editor', who gives his account of the facts as he understands them to be, and then in the words of the 'sinner' himself. Having sold poorly among its first readers, the novel suffered from a prolonged period of neglect. However, since the latter part of the twentieth century it has won greater critical interest and attention.
