Published: September 2023

Estimating rainfall accurately is crucial for both the community and various institutions involved in managing water resources and preventing disasters. The XGBoost model has demonstrated its effectiveness in predicting rainfall, but it still requires fine-tuning of hyperparameters to enhance its performance. This study seeks to determine the optimal learning rate for rainfall prediction while keeping the max_depth and n_estimator parameters fixed. The hyperparameter optimization process was carried out using a two-step approach: an initial coarse search using RandomizedSearchCV followed by a more detailed fine-tuning using GridSearchCV. The model's foundation relied on historical rainfall data gathered over three months from the Automated Weather Observed System (AWOS) at the Pontianak Meteorological Station, recorded on an hourly basis. To assess the model's performance, several metrics were employed, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC-AUC. The model demonstrated promising results, with accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score all reaching 95%, indicating its ability to effectively predict rainfall. However, the ROC-AUC score was somewhat lower at 62%. After conducting the hyperparameter search, the optimal learning rate determined for the model, utilizing the 2040 dataset, was found to be 0.204.

Grain and straw yields in rice were under the influence of dominance gene action predominantly and the heritability was moderate. Plant height, number of grains per panicle, hundred grain weight, harvest index (grain-straw ratio), length, width and length-width ratio of grain were found to be governed by additive gene action mainly, having high heritability estimates. Tiller number was controlled by dominance gene action with low heritability while panicle length was influenced by both additive and dominance gene action with high heritability. Under the above situation, a reciprocal recurrent selection or modified back-cross technique may be resorted to evolve high yielding short stature strains with fine quality of rice.

Published: September 2023

Laboratory studies were conducted with five soils of varied textural classes treated with different sources of organic manures, viz. farmyard, poultry and swine manures at the rate of 15 tons/ha for a period of 4 months. Analyses of the incu bated soils showed that the application of organic manures significantly increased the contents of total and available N and available P in all the soils studied. A significantly higher release of plant nutrients was recorded in soils treated with swine manure followed by poultry and farmyard manures. Application of farmyard manure (FYM) significantly increased the organic carbon content and cation exchange capa- city of the soils more than poultry and swine manures. Water holding capacity was also increased significantly in all textural classes except in the sandy loam. In general, addition of the organic manures significantly improved the physico-chemical properties of the soils.

Community-based forest management agreement in the country is a needed instrument in attaining sustainability of mangrove management. Sadly, there is no assurance that the system implemented in the mangrove forest management is sustainable. So, evaluating the mangrove management sustainability of the local tribe is a viable avenue for the appropriate management. In this study, the sustainability of the mangrove management system of the Tagbanua tribe in Bgy. Manalo, Puerto Princesa City, Palawan was evaluated. The study utilized various criteria with relevant indicators of sustainable mangrove forest management in assessing the mangrove forest management system. Focused group discussions were conducted to identify the relevant sustainable mangrove forest management C & I and verifiers. Each indicator was rated using the formulated verifiers in the form of the rating scale. Through household interviews, FGD, KII, mangrove assessment, and secondary data analysis, this study also used a mathematical model on the Sustainability Index for Individual Criteria (SIIC) to evaluate the scores for individual criteria and the Overall Sustainability Index (OSI) of the community. As a result, there are a total of seven relevant criteria, and 35 relevant indicators for Mangrove Management in Barangay Manalo. Based on the individual rating of seven criteria, the overall rating of the sustainable mangrove management system is 1.80, which implies a fairly sustainable mangrove management system. Also, the computed overall sustainability index is 0.26, which is fairly or moderately sustainable. Each criterion has strengths and weaknesses and needs to be improved to have a highly sustainable mangrove management system.

Palvelutarpeen arviointi lastensuojelun rajapinnoilla asiakasnäkökulmasta - Nuorten ja vanhempien näkemyksiä
Authors: Aarnio Noora , Pösö Tarja
Published: September 2023

Artikkelissa tarkastellaan perhesosiaalityön ja lastensuojelun rajapinnoilla tehtävää palvelutarpeen arviointia asiakasnäkökulmasta kysymällä, mitä arviointi on ja millaista sen tulisi olla. Asiakasnäkökulma pohjautuu kollektiiviseen kokemusasiantuntijatietoon, jota lähestytään lastensuojelua koskevina näkemyksinä henkilökohtaisten kokemusten sijasta. Aineisto koostuu 14 nuorten ja vanhempien lastensuojelun kokemusasiantuntijoiden vinjettipohjaisesta ryhmähaastattelusta. Nuorten ja vanhempien näkemykset arvioinnista ovat pääpiirteiltään samanlaisia. Arvioinnin tehtävänä on selvittää ja selittää ongelmat ja luoda näkymiä niiden ratkaisemiseen. Ammattilaisten monipuolinen tieto ja osaaminen sekä yksilöllinen, vuorovaikutteinen ja kokonaisvaltainen työskentely korostuvat. Tulosten pohjalta on aiheellista uudelleenarvioida sellaisia palvelujärjestelmän organisointitapoja, joissa palvelutarpeen arviointi irrotetaan muusta sosiaalityöstä.
The Use of Hypochlorous Acid, Test-and-removal, and Cross-fostering to Eradicate Mouse Pathogens in an Animal Facility
Authors: Shih Hsin-Yi , Chen Ying-Chun , Liao Ching-Fong
Published: September 2023

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), used as a liquid or a fog, has broad antimicrobial and deodorizing effects. Our facility was the first in Taiwan that was built with a system to supply stabilized, biosafe HOCl solution (50 ppm available chlorine concentration, pH 6) into a new animal barrier
facility that housed genetically modified mice. The HOCl system creates an extremely clean environment that allows us to raise mice in static, filter-top cages and to handle them on open tables without the need for biologic safety cabinets (BSC). Our animal facility (AF) sometimes receives
mice from outside sources that are infected with pathogens, notably murine norovirus (MNV), Helicobacter spp., and trichomonads. We found that our standard operation procedure (SOP) prevented cross-contamination to other mice, including those in adjacent cages. After the removal of
infected mice from a room, the remaining mice remained uninfected, without the need for extensive environmental decontamination. Learning this allowed us to use a test-and-removal method to eliminate pathogens. In addition, infected mouse strains that were not commercially available were rederived
by using cross-fostering. After finding unexpected infections, we were able to identify all infected mice by widespread screening. We then removed contaminated cages and performed cross-fostering as needed. This approach was able to successfully eliminate murine norovirus, Helicobacter
spp., and trichomonads. Over the 12 y in which we managed this AF, we refined our husbandry methods and our approach to the detection and eradication of pathogens by using HOCl fog and solution, the test-and-removal, and cross-fostering.
A Pharmacokinetic and Analgesic Efficacy Study of Carprofen in Female CD1 Mice

Published: September 2023

The minimization of pain in research animals is a scientific and ethical necessity. Carprofen is commonly used for pain management in mice; however, some data suggest that the standard dosage of 5 mg/kg may not provide adequate analgesia after surgery. We hypothesized that a higher
dose of carprofen in mice would reduce pain-associated behaviors and improve analgesia without toxic effects. A pharmacokinetic study was performed in mice given carprofen subcutaneously at 10 or 20 mg/kg. Plasma concentrations were measured at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after
dosing (n = 3 per time point and treatment). At these doses, plasma levels were above the purported therapeutic level for at least 12 and 24 h, respectively, with respective half-lives of 14.9 and 10.2 h. For the efficacy study, 10 mice per group received anesthesia with or without
an ovariectomy. Mice were then given 5 or 10 mg/kg of carprofen, or saline subcutaneously every 12 h. Orbital tightening, arched posture, wound licking, rearing, grooming, nesting behavior, and activity were assessed before surgery and at 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery. The von Frey
responses were assessed before and at 4, 12, 24, and 48 h after surgery. The efficacy study showed that all surgery groups had significantly higher scores for orbital tightening, arched posture, and wound licking than did the anesthesia-only groups at 4, 8, 12, and 24-h time points. At the
8 h time point, the surgery groups treated with carprofen had significantly lower arched posture scores than did the surgery group treated with saline only. No significant differences were found between carprofen treatment groups for rearing, grooming, von Frey, activity, or nesting behavior
at any time point. These results indicate that subcutaneous carprofen administered at these doses does not provide sufficient analgesia to alleviate postoperative pain in female CD1 mice.

In modern conditions, the competitiveness of many tourist centers is ensured through the development of forms of network interaction between entities involved in the process of tourist services within a certain geographical area. One of these forms of networking is a tourist cluster, which is based on such concepts as "integration", "cooperation", "competition". Each system in the field of tourism needs to be promoted and popularized among tourists, including the cluster. In this regard, the main purpose of this work is to consider the issues of branding tourist clusters on the example of the Almaty Mountain cluster in the Republic of Kazakhstan. As part of the study on specifics of cluster systems branding, the authors relied on scientific publications presented in various periodicals. To identify the main trends in the development of tourism and clusters in Kazakhstan, the data presented on the official websites of state bodies and statistical services were employed. Based on the presented analysis, the authors considered the main characteristics of the Almaty Mountain cluster development, as well as the features of branding this territory at the national and local levels. The main stages of territory branding are presented, taking into account the main characteristics of the cluster system. In general, within the framework of the work, the authors put forward the main directions for the formation and promotion of cluster systems brand in modern conditions. At the same time, it is noted that the branding process should ensure the sustainable development of integration and cooperation ties between the participants of the tourism cluster.
