A saúde pública como missão política para o desenvolvimento da indústria nacional
Authors: Albareda Alexandra , Torres Ricardo Lobato
Published: February 2023

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é atualmente um dos maiores sistemas públicos e universais do mundo. Para atender à população, o SUS depende de oferta e disponibilidade de uma série de produtos de saúde, como os medicamentos e os equipamentos médico-hospitalares, pela maior complexidade tecnológica envolvida e pelo maior custo que estes representam para o orçamento público. O Brasil possui um importante complexo econômico industrial da saúde, apesar disso, há uma forte dependência externa no que diz respeito tanto à importação de medicamentos, quanto de insumos farmacêuticos ativos e de equipamentos médico-hospitalares. Neste sentido, o fortalecimento do complexo econômico industrial da saúde no país poderia ser um meio para garantir a sustentabilidade do seu sistema público de saúde, bem como um mecanismo de geração de emprego, renda e capacitação tecnológica em uma área estratégica. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir as contribuições da abordagem teórica das políticas orientadas por missões para a indústria da saúde e para a efetivação da universalidade do SUS, bem como de sua missão constitucional de promoção de inovação tecnológica e efetiva produção de medicamentos, equipamentos, imunobiológicos e outros insumos de saúde. Para isso, realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica acerca das políticas industriais aplicadas ao setor desde a criação do SUS e sobre as políticas orientadas por missões relacionadas ao complexo econômico industrial da saúde. O texto traz algumas reflexões sobre os limites das políticas introduzidas até então no país e sobre os potenciais da adoção de novas políticas baseadas em missões.

A Multispecies Collective Planting Trees: Tending to Life and Making Meaning Outside of the Conservation Heroic
Authors: McLauchlan Laura
Published: February 2023

To what extent do our narratives support the work of ecological care? While working in anti-extinction conservation requires paying careful attention to the realities of precarity and ambiguity, this is not necessarily reflected in our public narratives of such work. Instead, as is typified in Jean Giono’s 1953 short story ‘The man who planted trees’, many conservation narratives are pitched in heroic modes, framing conservation labour as working to secure an obvious ‘good’ in perpetuity. In this paper, I think with practicing Buddhist and volunteer tree planter, Errol Greaves, and his work organising and working with dedicated humans helping to regenerate native forest on Te Ahumairangi Hill at the edge of Wellington City. Aiming to create a flourishing native habitat to support the endangered kākā (Nestor meridionalis), Errol’s work is largely in line with mainstream anti-extinction conservation goals in Aoteaora/New Zealand. However, his labour is framed by distinctly non-heroic narratives emphasising cooperation, ambiguity and precarity—emphases more closely related to the comedic, a mode of narration which Joseph Meeker identifies as better allowing for both ecological accommodation and responsiveness. In this paper, I consider the resources offered by various relational ontologies and non-heroic narratives for both responding well to ecological realities and sustaining work for a flourishing world, particularly in our current times of radically apparent precarity.

Published: February 2023

To increase the efficiency and quality of the harvesting and transportation process the volume of the harvesting machine bunker should be in direct conformity with the carrying capacity of the transport equipment. This measure provides the reduction of expenses, connected with the consumption of combustive-lubricating materials, mechanical losses of harvest and other non-productive operations. The article is devoted to the condition of equality, necessary for achievement of well-coordinated operation of harvesting-transport complex; the coefficients of conformity for the widespread brands of harvesting and transport vehicles in the conditions of the Amur region are estimated; the dependence of the coefficient of conformity on the total costs is presented, and the main conclusions from the results of the analysis of the use of harvesting-transport machinery are made.

Published: February 2023

Currently, along with the intensive development of livestock production, there is a question of recycling waste generated as a result of its production. The aim of the study was to study the impact of industrial waste of animal origin on the quality and yield of spring wheat. The research was carried out in 2021-2022 in the conditions of the experimental field of I.A. Bunin YSU. The object of the study was the spring wheat variety Aquilon. It was found that the studied plant variants were distinguished by high rates of photosynthetic activity. The maximum values for chlorophyll a were characterized by plants in the variant where blood flour was used as fertilizer (20.68 mg/g of raw mass). Chlorophyll b was observed more in plants on variants using blood meal (18.05 mg/g) and corn meal (18.69 mg/g). The height of the plants in the variant using blood flour was the maximum, so in the phase of milk ripeness it was 70.6 cm. In the control variant , the height of plants in this phase of development was 58 cm. The highest protein values were recorded in the grain obtained in the variant where sheep wool was used as fertilizer - 16.5%, exceeding the control by 1.8%. Also, the grain obtained in this variant was characterized by high gluten levels - 31.3%. It should be noted that such indicators as gluten quality, vitreousness and the number of drops increased sharply compared to the control variant. The laboratory baking of bread from the obtained flour showed that the obtained samples of products according to organoleptic and physico-chemical parameters met the requirements of GOST.

Published: February 2023

The life insurance industry in Malaysia has developed since the British colonised Malaya era in the 18th century. The industry contributes to the economic growth in GDP by collecting the premium paid by the policyholders and, in return, promising a sum of money to pay to the policyholders when unfortunate events occur. Customer satisfaction is an important factor for policy owners to continue to pay their premium on time and to purchase new insurance product in future. The objective of this research was to examine the determinants of customer satisfaction in life insurance services in Klang Valley. From this study, 399 responses were collected through online questionnaire surveys. The questionnaire data was analysed using SPSS version 28. Demographic analysis, reliability test, normality test and coefficient test was conducted. The Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was used to assess the link between the independent variables (Service Quality, Perceived Value, Corporate Image, Complaint Behaviour, Role of Agent) and the dependent variable (Customer Satisfaction). Overall, the respondents were largely satisfied with their life insurance companies with customer satisfaction. Based on the output data, all five hypotheses in this study were supported, showing that service quality, perceived value, corporate image, complaint behaviour and role of agent significantly and positively influence satisfaction among life insurance customers in Klang Valley. Therefore, insurance organizations should pay attention to all factors mentioned in this study when offering services to clients because customer satisfaction translates into company profitability and customer loyalty. As a result, rigorous training courses should be provided to all company employees, especially insurance agents, who are the critical role as coordinator between the insurance company and clients.
An Analysis of Factors Affecting Agriculture Productivity in Thanjavur District of the Cauvery Delta Region
Authors: fmm Sr. Stella Mary , M Rekha
Published: February 2023

Agriculture plays a vital role in achieving food and nutritional security of the country. Cauvery delta zone in Tamil Nadu is a major contributor to agriculture production in the state. But in the recent years there is a decline in production of this region and farmer's conditions has deteriorated in the delta region since 2010. Atleast 80% of land in Thanjavur district had forgone the Kuruvai crop in the last five years and there has been a noticeable decline in agricultural land in this region due to climate change. The factors like change in soil water intrusion, increase in irrigation patterns and prices of agricultural inputs leads farmers to have low incomes(Jagannathan & Ramaraj, 2016). Further, the Climate change has increased cost of production for farmers as they are forced to buy more pesticides and insecticides to resolve new crop diseases. Scarcity of water and indebtedness are the common reasons behind farmers’ suicides in the Cauvery delta region(Sabarisakthi, 2016). An understanding of the nature of landholding is required to understand the importance of agriculture to household income. According to the Agriculture Census 2010-11, Small and marginal farmers cultivating less than five acres account for 91% of all farmers in Nagapattinam, 90% in Thiruvarur and 93% in Thanjavur. The proportion of net area sown to total geographical area is more than 50% in Thanjavur and Nagapattinam and more than 70% in Thiruvarur district, highlighting the importance of agriculture. This paper studies the problems faced by the farmers in the region and reasons behind the decline in agriculture activities over the years. Furthermore, this study uses time series analysis to analyse land use and cropping patterns in the Tamil Nadu district. The results reveals that there is a decrease in net sown area and change in cropping pattern due to erratic rainfall pattern and inadequate water facilities available for irrigation in the district.

Authors: Sari Dhya , Harsono Soni
Published: February 2023

Shopee is a marketplace application founded by Chris Feng, which currently has offices in various countries, starting from Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Brazil. Shopee users have complained of experiencing various problems. The complaint was also conveyed on social media such as Twitter and Instagram. The cekgangguan.id site received more than 2,850 reports regarding network and service disruptions at Shopee Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the success of the Shopee application using the DeLone and McLean methods. The research data was obtained from 170 respondents who filled out a questionnaire for Shopee users in East Java. Data were analyzed using the Amos SEM analysis model. This study proves that user satisfaction has a significant effect on net benefits and performance impacts. But the relationship of other variables has no significant effect. This research has implications for increasing user satisfaction, net benefits which ultimately have an impact on application performance.
A EDUCAÇÃO DOMÉSTICA EM SERGIPE
Authors: Lima Maria José Torres , Bretas Silvana Aparecida
Published: February 2023

Este texto tem como objetivo central destacar a educação doméstica em  Sergipe, no  Império e início da República Destarte, pretende-se abordar como essa prática de ensino ignorada durante muito tempo pelos historiadores do campo da educação esteve largamente presente no cotidiano da sociedade sergipana. O estudo foi alicerçado pela concepção de instrução doméstica de Maria Celi Vasconcelos (2005), que se refere a esta prática de educação como, aquela realizada no interior da casa do aluno ou do mestre, que aconteceram e coexistiram com a escola formal. De acordo com a autora, no Rio de Janeiro, o ensino da casa vai desaparecendo no final dos oitocentos do século XIX devido ao projeto de escolarização pública proclamado junto com o período republicano no país. Contudo, em Sergipe a educação doméstica parece ganhar fôlego e resiste às iniciativas do Estado de centralização e unificação do ensino. Desse modo, partimos da tese de que, apesar de o Brasil contar com políticas públicas de escolarização pública para toda a população, a demora em evoluir política, econômica e socialmente, fez com que as práticas de educação domésticas existissem durante muito tempo à sombra da escola formal mantida pelo Estado.
Upper-tropospheric slightly ice-subsaturated regions: frequency of occurrence and statistical evidence for the appearance of contrail cirrus
Authors: Li Yun , Mahnke Christoph , Rohs Susanne , Bundke Ulrich , Spelten Nicole , Dekoutsidis Georgios , Groß Silke , Voigt Christiane , Schumann Ulrich , Petzold Andreas , Krämer Martina
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Microphysical, optical, and environmental properties of
contrail cirrus and natural cirrus were investigated by applying a new,
statistically based contrail–cirrus separation method to 14.7 h of cirrus
cloud measurements (sampling frequency 1 Hz, max. ∼ 290 m s−1,
total length of sampled in-cloud space ∼ 15 000 km) during the
airborne campaign ML-CIRRUS in central Europe and the northeast Atlantic
flight corridor in spring 2014. We find that pure contrail cirrus appears
frequently at the aircraft cruising altitude (CA) range with ambient
pressure varying from 200 to 245 hPa. It exhibits a higher median ice
particle number concentration (Nice), a smaller median mass mean radius
(Rice), and lower median ice water content (IWC) (median: Nice=0.045 cm−3, Rice=16.6 µm, IWC = 3.5 ppmv), and it is optically thinner (median extinction coefficient Ext = ∼ 0.056 km−1) than the cirrus mixture of contrail cirrus, natural in
situ-origin and liquid-origin cirrus found around the CA range (median:
Nice=0.038 cm−3, Rice=24.1 µm, IWC = 8.3 ppmv, Ext = ∼ 0.096 km−1). The lowest and thickest
cirrus, consisting of a few large ice particles, are identified as pure
natural liquid-origin cirrus (median: Nice=0.018 cm−3,
Rice=42.4 µm, IWC = 21.7 ppmv, Ext = ∼ 0.137 km−1). Furthermore, we observe that, in particular, contrail
cirrus occurs more often in slightly ice-subsaturated instead of merely ice-saturated to supersaturated air as often assumed, thus indicating the
possibility of enlarged contrail cirrus existence regions. The enlargement
is estimated, based on IAGOS long-term observations of relative humidity
with respect to ice (RHice) aboard passenger aircraft, to be
approximately 10 % for Europe and the North Atlantic region, with the
RHice threshold for contrail cirrus existence decreased from 100 % to
90 % RHice and a 4 h lifetime of contrail cirrus in slight
ice subsaturation assumed. This increase may not only lead to a
non-negligible change in contrail cirrus coverage and radiative forcing, but
also affect the mitigation strategies of reducing contrails by rerouting
flights.

Abstract. Long-term effects of climate change on lakes globally will include a substantial modification in the thermal regime and the oxygen solubility of lakes, resulting in the alteration of ecosystem processes, habitats, and concentrations of critical substances. Recent efforts have led to the development of long-term model projections of climate change effects on lake thermal regimes and oxygen solubility. However, such projections
are hardly ever confronted with observations extending over multiple decades. Furthermore, global-scale forcing parameters in lake models present several limitations, such as the need of significant downscaling. In this study, the effects of climate change on thermal regime and oxygen solubility were analyzed in the four largest French peri-alpine lakes over 1850–2100. We tested several one-dimensional (1D) lake models' robustness for long-term variations based on up to 63 years of limnological data collected by the French Observatory of LAkes (OLA). Here, we evaluate the possibility of forcing mechanistic models by following the long-term
evolution of shortwave radiation and air temperature while providing
realistic seasonal trends for the other variables for which local-scale
downscaling often lacks accuracy. Based on this approach, MyLake, forced by
air temperatures and shortwave radiations, predicted accurately the
variations in the lake thermal regime over the last 4 to 6 decades,
with RMSE < 1.95 ∘C. Over the previous 3 decades, water temperatures have increased by 0.46 ∘C per decade (±0.02 ∘C) in the epilimnion and 0.33 ∘C per decade (±0.06 ∘C) in the hypolimnion. Concomitantly and due to thermal change, O2 solubility has decreased by −0.104 mg L−1 per decade (±0.005 mg L−1) and −0.096 mg L−1 per decade (±0.011 mg L−1) in the epilimnion and hypolimnion, respectively. Based on the shared socio-economic pathway SSP370 of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), peri-alpine lakes could face an increase of 3.80 ∘C (±0.20 ∘C) in the next 70 years, accompanied by a decline of 1.0 mg L−1 (±0.1 mg L−1) of O2 solubility. Together, these results highlight a critical alteration in lake thermal and oxygen conditions in the coming decades, and a need for a better integration of long-term lake observatories data and lake models to anticipate climate
effects on lake thermal regimes and habitats.
Evaluating Greenland surface-mass-balance and firn-densification data using ICESat-2 altimetry
Authors: Smith Benjamin E. , Medley Brooke , Fettweis Xavier , Sutterley Tyler , Alexander Patrick , Porter David , Tedesco Marco
Published: February 2023

Abstract. Surface-mass-balance (SMB) and firn-densification (FD)
models are widely used in altimetry studies as a tool to separate
atmospheric-driven from ice-dynamics-driven ice-sheet mass changes and to
partition observed volume changes into ice-mass changes and firn-air-content
changes. Until now, SMB models have been principally validated based on
comparison with ice core and weather station data or comparison with widely
separated flight radar-survey flight lines. Firn-densification models have
been primarily validated based on their ability to match net densification
over decades, as recorded in firn cores, and the short-term time-dependent
component of densification has rarely been evaluated at all. The advent of
systematic ice-sheet-wide repeated ice-surface-height measurements from
ICESat-2 (the Ice Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite, 2) allows us to
measure the net surface-height change of the Greenland ice sheet at
quarterly resolution and compare the measured surface-height differences
directly with those predicted by three FD–SMB models: MARv3.5.11 (Modèle
Atmosphérique Régional version 3.5.11) and GSFCv1.1 and GSFCv1.2 (the
Goddard Space Flight Center FD–SMB models version 1.1 and 1.2). By
segregating the data by season and elevation, and based on the timing and
magnitude of modelled processes in areas where we expect minimal
ice-dynamics-driven height changes, we investigate the models' accuracy in
predicting atmospherically driven height changes. We find that while all
three models do well in predicting the large seasonal changes in the
low-elevation parts of the ice sheet where melt rates are highest, two of
the models (MARv3.5.11 and GSFCv1.1) systematically overpredict, by around a
factor of 2, the magnitude of height changes in the high-elevation parts
of the ice sheet, particularly those associated with melt events. This
overprediction seems to be associated with the melt sensitivity of the
models in the high-elevation part of the ice sheet. The third model,
GSFCv1.2, which has an updated high-elevation melt parameterization, avoids
this overprediction.
A comparison of dynamic inflow models for the blade element momentum method

Published: February 2023

Abstract. With the increase in rotor sizes, the implementation of innovative pitch control strategies, and the first floating solutions entering the market, the importance of unsteady aerodynamic phenomena in the operation of modern offshore wind turbines has increased significantly. Including aerodynamic unsteadiness in blade element momentum (BEM) methods used to simulate wind turbine design envelopes requires specific sub-models. One of them is the dynamic inflow model, which attempts to reproduce the effects of the unsteady wake evolution on the rotor plane induction. Although several models have been proposed, the lack of a consistent and comprehensive comparison makes their relative performance in the simulation of large rotors still uncertain. More importantly, different dynamic inflow model predictions have never been compared for a standard fatigue load case, and thus it is not clear what their impact on the design loads estimated with BEM is. The present study contributes to filling these gaps by implementing all the main dynamic inflow models in a single solver and comparing their relative performance on a 220 m diameter offshore rotor design. Results are compared for simple prescribed blade pitch time histories in uniform inflow conditions first, verifying the predictions against a high-fidelity free-vortex-wake model and showing the benefit of new two-constant models. Then the effect of shed vorticity is investigated in detail, revealing its major contribution to the observed differences between BEM and free-vortex results. Finally, the simulation of a standard fatigue load case prescribing the same blade pitch and rotor speed time histories reveals that including a dynamic inflow model in BEM tends to increase the fatigue load predictions compared to a quasi-steady BEM approach, while the relative differences among the models are limited.

Published: February 2023

Recently, financial and economic conditions have been affected due to the environmental uncertainty that increased the stock price fluctuation. This aspect requires recent studies and experience regulators’ emphasis. Hence, the current research examines the impact of financial credits, financial deposits, and economic factors such as economic growth (EG), industrialization and employment rate on the stock trading in ASEAN countries. The researchers extracted the secondary data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) database from 2009 to 2020. The research also checks the connection among understudy constructs using the Methods of the Moments-Quantile-Regression (MMQR) approach. The outcomes revealed that the financial credits, financial deposits EG, industrialization, and employment rate have a positive linkage with stock trading in ASEAN countries. The research provides guidelines to the regulators in making regulations related to improving stock trading using understudy effective financial and economic factors.
FISCAL SIGNIFICANCE OF VALUE ADDED TAX AND IT’S IMPACT ON ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Kheladze Lia , Kurdgelia Natia
Published: February 2023

In terms of mobilizing financial resources in the budget, value added tax has a leading position among other taxes. The analysis of the fiscal value of the value added tax, how it affects the current processes in the economy and economic growth in general, is highly relevant. Indirect taxes are a mechanism that affects the formation of the final price of products, the profit of entrepreneurs, its profitability and, in general, the financial situation of economic entities.

Over the last few years, the system of taxation with value added tax (VAT) is developing more and more, its administration measures are being improved, reasonable benefits are established for the supply of various types of goods and services. The taxation mechanism is becoming closer to the European Union standards, although there are still a lot of shortcomings. Undoubtedly, as soon as the system of taxation with indirect taxes takes a more complete form, it will be a prerequisite for it to effectively perform the regulatory function of the economy. In turn, this will lead to an increase in production, an increase in the well-being of the society and economic growth.

Value added tax has an important fiscal function in the formation of budget revenues. According to the Budget Code, the equalization transfer was canceled and instead of this, VAT was introduced into the budget of local territorial units according to the respective municipalities. 81% of VAT will be credited to the state budget, and 19% - to the budgets of relevant local self-governing units. This approach is adopted in many developed countries. The mentioned method is an additional incentive for each local self-governing unit, as they are given the opportunity to plan the budget in a more targeted way, which will be the basis for the economic development of the respective territorial unit.

In general, indirect taxes affect both demand and supply. They are added to the price of goods and services and increase their value. Therefore, it is important to consider the impact of VAT on demand and supply and thus on economic growth.

If we look at the dynamics of economic growth in the recent period, we can be sure that there is a trend of economic growth. One of the reasons for this, along with many other factors, can be considered the recent changes in VAT, which made the indirect tax system more loyal.

The existing system of indirect taxes in the country should, first of all, ensure the fulfillment of the tasks and measures set before the state, however, at the same time, the amount of the tax rate should be reasonable and differentiated and tax administration measures are simpler, which will help business entities to carry out their activities without interruption.
A farizeusok kovásza

Published: February 2023

This study attempts to decipher the meaning of the leaven of the Pharisees. It first presents the obscure history of the Pharisees – primarily with the help of Josephus, but also taking into account the relevant passages in the New Testament. In a second step, the study then explores what meanings the Old and New Testaments associate with leaven. I argue that the warning against the leaven of the Pharisees is a warning against the ambition of Jesus' disciples to gain power.
A gyermekkeresztség megengedettségi feltételei: a szülők erkölcsi életének kérdése
Authors:   Pontificia Università Gregoriana, Bakó László
Published: February 2023

The present paper discusses the conditions for liceity of infant baptism in the case of parents whose moral life has deviated from the moral norms of the Church. We examine the situation of parents living together, divorced and (re)married only in a civil marriage and some other „irregular” difficult cases, such as people living in non-heterosexual partnerships and/or those from the LGBT community. This article focuses primarily on updating the Church’s legislation in this regard, analysing and evaluating it in the light of the difficult situations of the families today. In doing so, I endeavour to interpret the requirements for the liceity contained in the §1 of can. 868 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law (CIC/1983) in such a way that they can be applied to the irregular situations of families in today’s society. At the end of the study, I conclude with a recommendation: with a differentiated baptismal practice the priests could adequately distinguish between situations, evaluating each case individually.

Published: February 2023

The objective of present study was to evaluate the anti-ulcer activity of hydro-alcoholic extract of Corchorus capsularis seeds. Mainly hyper secretion of gastric acid and pepsin causes ulcer in patients. Plant extracts and polyherbal formulations are two of the most appealing sources of new drug. This type of extract formulations are showing good results in the treatment of gastric ulcers. In this study anti-ulcer activity was investigated by pyloric ligation, aspirin and stress induced gastric ulcer in albino wistar rats. The extract was given at the dose of 250mg/kg (CCLD- Corchorus capsularis low dose) and 500mg/kg (CCHD- Corchorus capsularis high dose) in all the experimental models. Ranitidine (150mg/kg) was used as standard drug. CCLD and CCHD showed 37.49% and 63.14% ulcer inhibition respectively, whereas ranitidine 69.69% against pylorus ligation induced ulcer. In aspirin induced ulcer model the extract showed ulcer inhibition 48.64% and 64.00% in CCLD and CCHD respectively whereas the standard drug ranitidine exhibited 84.64% ulcer inhibition. In stress induced ulcer model CCLD, CCHD and ranitidine exhibited 48.64%, 64.00% and 84.64% ulcer inhibition respectively. In all the models ethanolic extract of Corchorus capsularis seeds has shown significant anti-ulcer activity in dose dependent manner.

Still Jammed! Lingering Questions About the Statutory Unconscionability Doctrine Post Stubbings v Jams 2 Pty Ltd (2022) 399 ALR 409
Authors: Giancaspro Mark
Published: February 2023

The High Court of Australia recently delivered its highly anticipated judgment in Stubbings v Jams 2 Pty Ltd (2022) 399 ALR 409 (‘Stubbings (HCA)’). The case represents the most recent examination of the unsettled statutory doctrine of unconscionability in the land’s highest judicial forum. Regrettably, the High Court spurned the opportunity to clarify several lingering questions that continue to plague the doctrine. These questions concern matters ranging from the proper distinction between the various unconscionability provisions in the consumer law to the requirements needed under each. This article extrapolates what it can from Stubbings (HCA) and other leading cases to try and add clarity to the frequently litigated but poorly understood statutory unconscionability doctrine.

Authors: Afnidar  , Kusmawan Udan , Syarifa F. H. , Kuswandi B.
Published: February 2023

This work presents a low-cost and disposable paper based microfluidic system for detection of uric acid and blood in urine simultaneously. Detection is achieved by using a colorimetric or visual indicator. Immobilized specific reagents designed for the parameter under consideration act as capture molecules on the surface of the detection zone of a microfluidic system made of paper (cellulose). Fe-(III)tris-(1,10)-phenantroline and Tetramethylbenzidinecumene hydroperoxide and have been immobilized using absorption method for blood and uric acid detection respectively. For blood detection, the detection zone will be change from pale blue to dark blue, due to presence of hemoglobin, which in turn, resulted in oxidized reaction of tetramethylbenzidine by cumene hydroperoxide. While for uric acid detection zone, the color change from yellow to orange/red due to complexation of Fe(III)tris-(1,10)-phenantroline with uric acid in urine sample. The capability of lab on paper for detection of blood and uric acid in urine samples has been demonstrate successfully.
