Geomechanical model and sanding onset assessment: A field case study in Vietnam
Authors: Nguyễn Văn Hùng , Bùi Thị Thuỳ Linh
Published: December 2021

Sand production is a key issue when selecting and applying completion solutions like open holes, screens or perforated liners. This problem can be seen in several types of reservoirs such as weakly consolidated and non-consolidated carbonates. The paper presents a method to model wellbore failures for sanding prediction. Our study shows that the potential sand risk in this field is defined by the rock strength rather than the in-situ stress. If the rock is sufficiently competent, the potential of sand production is negligible, and the development wells can be completed conventionally without any downhole sand control for the reservoir pressure above 1,280 psi and the maximum drawdown pressure of 2,380 psi.

The art of how not to govern a university well
Authors: Kuu-ire Sylvanus
Published: December 2021

The art of how to govern a university well is an exploratory and evaluate work of the ills plaguing many universities. These ills manifest themselves mostly in misplaced use of power bv people in authority over colleagues. The study focuses on the expected roles of chairmen of councils, vice chancellors and registrar. Chancellors are left out merely because their roles are ceremonial in nature and incumbents seldom delve into day to day administrative matters until and unless there is a looming crisis. The emluation emphasizes the need for proper use of discretionary power and a commitment to work with the statutes and committees designed to mobilize the finest ideas for collective decision-making processes in universities. The work also looks at the expected qualities of these key players in the lives of universities and how a commitment to leadership by example can instill discipline and order in the intellectual, research and social engagement of universities as communities of scholars. The study concludes that respect for senior academics and professional non-teaching staff builds teams that protect and defend internal and external intrusions into academic pursuits and autonomy. Such license promotes the search dissemination and defence of the truth. The work stresses the usefulness of academic freedom in speaking about anything and dealing fairly, firmly and calmly with problems which have potential to malign university managers and dent the images of scholastic institutions within the international community.

Investigation of The Activity of Lipase Variants on Different 4-Nitrophenyl Esters by Spectrophotometric Assay
Authors: VARDAR YEL Nurcan
Published: December 2021

Microbial enzymes are important tools that are frequently used in the field of biotechnology. These microbial enzymes, which play a role in intracellular biological reactions, are used in many different industries. Lipase, proteases and amylases are important members of hydrolytic enzymes. Lipase enzyme, which has the most common usage area among hydrolytic enzymes, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester bonds between lipid molecules. The activity of lipase enzyme is commonly measured by spectrophotometric method. P-nitrophenol esters are commonly preferred for kinetic analysis. In the spectrophotometric analysis method, the colored product is measured as a result of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenol ester substrates by the lipase enzyme. In this study, p-nitrophenyl acetate (Acetic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester), p-nitrophenyl butyrate (Butyric acid 4-nitrophenyl ester), p-nitrophenyl octanoate (Octanoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester, 4 -Nitrophenyl caprylate), p-nitrophenyl dodecanoate (Dodecanoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester), p-nitrophenyl palmitate (p-Nitrophenyl palmitate, Hexadecanoic acid 4-nitrophenyl ester) substrates were used. The products formed as a result of incubation of substrates with different carbon lengths with lipase enzyme periods were measured spectrophotometrically. Trials were carried out at 25°C between 5min-120min. As a result of the experiments carried out in four repetitions, it was determined that the activity of the lipase enzyme varies according to the length of the carbon chain of the substrates. Vmax values of wild lipase enzyme were calculated as 0.42 U/mg protein, 0.95 U/mg protein, 1.1 U/mg protein, 0.78 U/mg protein, 0.18 U/mg protein for pNP-acetate, pNP-buritate, pNP-octanoate, pNP-dodecanoate, pNP-palmitate, respectively. It was determined that the activity of lipase enzyme on p-nitrophenyl palmitate was very low. It was determined that the activity of wild lipase enzyme on the eight-carbon chain pNP-octanoate substrate was higher than the other substrates.
representação social da dignidade da pessoa humana na visão do acadêmico da Universidade Estadual de Goiás – UEG
Authors: Santos Cinthya
Published: December 2021

A pesquisa realizada sobre a Dignidade da pessoa humana, que está interligada a um Macroprojeto, cujo tema é a Constituição Federal, os Direitos Fundamentais e a Representação Social trouxe uma perspectiva na visão dos estudantes universitários e sua representação social. Foi estudado o princípio universal da dignidade, seu contexto histórico e conceitual. Na parte prática foi realizada uma entrevista para saber a representação social dos acadêmicos, dos cursos de Direito, Ciências Biológicas e Agronomia, da Unidade Palmeiras de Goiás da Universidade Estadual de Goiás. O estudo também analisou, utilizando-se a teoria das Representações Sociais, qual o significado desse princípio para os estudantes dos cursos acima citados, tanto na perspectiva social, do ser humano em si, quanto na atuação do Estado, como cumpridor dos preceitos da Constituição Federal e como defensor do interesse público. O estudo realizado usou como metodologia uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo e quantitativo, a pesquisa bibliográfica, que foi construída através das obras de grandes doutrinadores do direito, bem como os preceitos da própria Declaração dos Direitos do homem, documento instituído pela Organização das Nações Unidas – ONU, em 1948. Foi feito um levantamento amostral através da aplicação de um instrumento de coleta de dados, com a participação de 137 participantes divididos da seguinte maneira: 62 alunos do curso de direito, 40 alunos do curso de Ciências biológicas e por fim 35 alunos do curso de Agronomia. As contribuições científicas alcançadas com esse estudo foi o surgimento de uma suposta representação social dos acadêmicos em relação ao princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana. Através do levantamento de dados foi possível perceber que os acadêmicos têm uma percepção de que a dignidade se refere a cinco palavras, que foram mais evocadas por eles, “igualdade”, “Respeito”, “Direito”, “Condições” e “Solidariedade”. A partir desse resultado foi realizada uma análise e chegou-se à conclusão que os participantes do estudo creem que para que se haja dignidade é necessário ter igualdade, tratar todos em conformidade com a lei, em igualdade de condições. É preciso também respeitar os direitos e dar as condições mínimas que são necessárias para a manutenção da vida dos mais necessitados. A isso se conjuga a solidariedade, esta que deve partir do Estado, um dos objetivos da República Federativa do Brasil, mas também da sociedade, ou seja, é necessário ter uma sociedade justa e solidária.

A liberdade de expressão na jurisprudência do STF (2017-2020): justificativa poliárquica e o teste da posição preferencial relativa
Authors: Magalhães Breno Baía
Published: December 2021

O estudo analisou a produção jurisprudencial do Supremo Tribunal Federal nos anos de 2017 a 2020, a fim de investigara existência de alguma justificativa desenvolvida pela Corte para explicara posição política do direito à liberdade de expressão no Brasil e, se for o caso, quais testes são empregados para a solução de controvérsias surgidas entre esse direito e outros valores constitucionais. A pesquisa concluiu que, dentre as justificativas possíveis para explicar a liberdade de expressão, a Suprema Corte deu preferência a uma leitura instrumental do direito fundamental de recorte democrático, cuja função seria garantir participação em um espaço livre de interferência estatal para que o cidadão expresse sua oposição política. O conteúdo dessa manifestação, ademais disso, reflete tradicionais interpretações sobre a formação do estado e sociedade brasileiros. Os ministros empregaram a proporcionalidade e a posição preferencial como testes para solucionar conflitos entre o direito à livre manifestação e outros direitos. Entretanto, não foi possível distinguir a força operativa dos testes naprática da Corte, em razão da confusão conceitual característica propagada em seus votos.

Taking stock of mangrove and seagrass blue carbon ecosystems: A perspective for future carbon trading
Authors: Gallagher John Barry
Published: December 2021

Seagrass and mangroves support a number of ecosystem services, such as sustaining marine fisheries, water clarity, and the protection of shoreline from erosion. Producing a national and global consensus of their total worth is a challenge. More often than not the variety and distal evaluation approaches do not fit comfortably within current market-based economic models, which are arguably more capable of swaying government policy in assessing their preservation over economic development. The exception to this rule is the increasing recognition of the importance of these systems as a carbon sink for combating â€˜greenhouseâ€™ gas emissions. In response, these sinks have been labelled as â€˜Blue Carbon, a rhetorical tool to distinguish them from terrestrial and ocean sinks, and the different approaches they would require for conservation. However, there are a number of knowledge gaps, untested underlying assumptions, and measurement practicalities in assessing an accurate value of carbon sequestration and storage. Unless these are addressed, then the push for seagrass and mangroves to be included within the carbon-financing network may not be successful. This short communication discusses the limitations of the current blue carbon conceptual model, and provides recommendations for a more limited but robust submission of its present and future worth, required for carbon financing.
Sensory systems and feeding behaviour of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, and the marine whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei
Authors: Kawamura Gunzo , Bagarinao Teodora Uy , Yong Annita Seok Kian
Published: December 2021

Information on the sensory basis of shrimp feeding provides the means for assessment of the effectiveness of food items in terms of smell, taste, size, and colour. This chapter summarizes information about the sensory basis of the feeding behaviour of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and the marine whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). Existing literature on these shrimp species and other decapod crustaceans is reviewed, and unpublished experiments using the selective sensory ablation technique to determine the involvement of vision, chemoreception, and touch sense in the feeding behavior of the juveniles of M. rosenbergii and L. vannamei are also described. To determine the role of vision in feeding, the eyes of the juveniles were painted over (deprived of vision) with white manicure and their feeding response to commercial pellets was compared with those with untreated eyes. The untreated eyed juveniles detected and approached a feed pellet right away, but the specimens blinded by the coating detected a pellet only after random accidental touch with the walking legs while roaming on the aquarium bottom. Juveniles that had learned to feed on pellets showed food search and manipulation responses to a pellet-like pebble without smell and taste. The early larvae (zoeae) of M. rosenbergii already have colour vision (that likely persists through life) and colour preference for blue and white. The adults of L. vannamei discriminated a blue-colored well among seven grey wells in a palette, also showing colour vision in this shrimp. A behavioural experiment with dyed prawn flesh showed that L. vannamei has innate color preference for yellow food over black, red, green, and blue food regardless of the background colours of the aquarium bottom. To disrupt chemoreception, the juveniles of both the species were abruptly transferred to water of drastically different salinity and the osmotic ablation destroyed the chemosensitive sensilla. The osmotically ablated juveniles approached a pellet right away but failed to ingest it; they had learned the visual cue and texture of the pellets and recognized them by vision and tactile sense. To determine the role of sensory appendages in feeding of L. vannamei juveniles, the antennal flagella, antennular flagella, and the pincers of the pereiopods were ablated. The ablated juveniles roamed the bottom, touched a pellet at random, grabbed it with the maxillipeds, and ingested it. Subsequently they learned to lower the head, actively swim forward, sweep the bottom with the maxillipeds, detect a pellet, and ingest itâ€”thus indicating a plasticity in feeding behaviour in L. vannamei.

Published: December 2021

Coastal conditions are closely related to the conditions of rivers and estuaries in the region and changes in the river condition caused by human activities will affect water turbidity. Rivers discharge which carries suspended materials and pollution to the sea have an important role in affecting Cirebon Water turbidity. The aim of this study is to estimate the turbidity using a smartphone application called HydroColor. The study data are obtained in September 2020. This study used Horiba U-10 and HydroColor as a method used to obtain the turbidity data of Cirebon Water. HydroColor is an advancement of technology that can be used to estimate water turbidity. Estimation method using HydroColor is a low-cost method because it only requires a gray card and a HydroColor that is available for iOS and Android for free. HydroColor uses a camera on a smartphone as a 3-band radiometer and produces reflectance values measured by HydroColor. Horiba U-10 data is used as in-situ data and is used to compared to HydroColor data to obtain a correlation between the two data. The results show that the correlation of HydroColor data with in-situ data is 0.91 and HydroColor tends to produce lower turbidity values than in-situ.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has infected the human system resulting in Covid-19, and has spread rapidly worldwide. Therefore, a fast, simple, cost-effective, and accurate detecting tool is required. The standard diagnostic tool of the World Health Organization is the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This method detects the presence of viral genetic material in the human body with accurate results. However, it has several limitations in terms of equipment, personnel, duration, and cost. Therefore, a fast, simple, and sensitive alternative detection, is required, one of which is the reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) that functions under isothermal conditions. This method is battery-driven, hence, easy to move closer to the patient. Conclusively, the RT-LAMP test for SARS CoV-2 diagnosis produces comparable sensitivity to a standard RT-PCR and is more suitable for resource-poor settings, such as rural areas of developing countries.
Finnish education system as seen from an Indonesian perspective
Authors: Adiputri Ratih
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to discuss the Finnish education system from an Indonesian perspective, and consider what citizens, notably from middle-income countries, may learn from the Finnish system. The source material is the author’s book, which provides an Indonesian perspective on the Finnish education system, supplemented by discussions from webinars and weekly Instagram Live discussions on the topic. It is known that education is part of a country’s culture, thus the Finnish education system cannot simply be implemented as such in another place. Yet there certainly are elements that can be adopted to the local culture, in this case, in Indonesia. The different models of education in Finland and Indonesia are compared to conclude with lessons that we can learn from Finland, notably regarding a sustainable future and the possibility of learning simple daily life skills.

BATAN has been carried out uranium exploration in West Borneo since 1969. So far, the exploration is focused on metamorphite-type uranium deposits in Kalan Area. The previous study concluded that mineralized uranium is originated from Sepauk Tonalite consisted of felsic-intermediate igneous rocks, and is hosted in medium-grade foliated and non-foliated metamorphic rocks of Pinoh Metamorphite. As uranium exploration develops, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) introduces the sandstone-type uranium mineralization concept that offers a more cost-effective mining process. The Melawi Basin becomes an attractive probable location for sandstone-type uranium deposit exploration since it is situated downstream of Schwaner Mountain's Sepauk Tonalite. The sandstone-dominated Tebidah Formation of Melawi Basin can be the host rock for sandstone-type uranium deposit if there is a reduction zone to trap the mobile uranium in the groundwater. The geological mapping, geochemical sampling, and radiometric survey were conducted in Menukung Area to prove the hypothesis. It is located in the eastern part of the Tebidah Formation, which contains abundant carbonaceous mudstones associated with coal seams. Mobile uranium content analysis showed the anomaly of 36–60 ppm at the central of Tebidah Formation at the study area, while radiometric data denoted the anomaly of 6.5–11.3 ppm eU. At those locations, coal and carbonaceous sandstone were observed. Those data indicate the presence of a reductive environment that gives the advantage to uranium trapping. It can be concluded that there is a possibility of the occurrence of sandstone-type uranium mineralization in the Menukung Area.

Menggala Formation has been long recognized as high quality oil bearing sand and favorable reservoir in Central Sumatera Basin (CSB). Regionally, this formation is unique in characteristic, distribution and has not been thoroughly evaluated during early exploration and development. This paper aims to explain elaborately the new stratigraphic feature and regional paleogeography model of Menggala Formation throughout Balam grabens by integrating cores, biostratigraphy, water salinity, well log and 2D seismic image to better understand regional stratigraphic play concept. Lower Menggala Formation in the northern Rokan Block has been clearly identified as the large scale of fluvial channel system that deposited parallel with Paleogene border fault remnants during early post-rift phase (22-25 million years ago). The fluvial channel belt is characterized by 4 to 5 km width, thick multi stacking fluvial sequence in the north and gradually change into river mouth sediment in the south. These sediments accumulated in depression area and also proven as huge productive reservoir in many fields. The north-south trending channel axis and geobodies confirmed by paleo bathymetric zonation, water salinity and 2D seismic image. The new paleogeography model helps better understanding of the regional stratigraphic concept of Menggala Formation across Balam grabens. In addition, this conceptual model also leads to strengthen the future exploration and development play concept within study area in Rokan Block.
