The main purpose of this work is the chemical and mineralogical characterization of a biotite-shist from northern Brazil, in order to evaluate its potential as an alternative rock of potassium fertilizer. For the characterization, one composite sample of about 40 Kg was crushed and classified into four subsamples with the following grain sizes: (-4000 +1000), (-1000 +300), (-300 +53) and (-53) μm. All four subsamples were submitted to the following analyses: X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and optical microscopy (OM) for textural analysis. The biotite-shist is mainly composed by albite, quartz and biotite, besides small amounts of chlorite and traces of K-feldspar and clinopyroxene. No significant mineralogical variation was observed among the studied granulometric fractions. Mean K2O contents are 2,61%, above the minimum of 1% required by the Normative Instruction of the Ministry of Agriculture of Brazil. Although further studies are still needed, the biotite-shist studied may have good potential when compared to other rocks already used in Brazil, e.g., other biotite schists from Central Brazil, as agromineral or soil remineralizer. Keywords: Biotite-schist, potassium fertilizer, soil remineralizer, agromineral.

Published: February 2023

Purpose. To develop theoretical and methodological approaches to the assessment of the risk of occupational diseases of the respiratory organs of workers caused by the dustiness of the air in the working area. Methods. Analytical methods, methods of probability theory, results of statistical processing of indicators of occupational respiratory diseases of workers and methods of mathematical modelling are applied in the work. The results. The proposed method of predictive assessment of individual and collective risk of the occurrence of occupational diseases of the respiratory organs of workers caused by dustiness of the air in the working area, the information base of which is the materials of certification of workplaces according to working conditions. According to this methodology, risk is defined as the probability of occurrence of an occupational disease during a certain period of time. The methodology is based on the assumption that with dust loads on the body of workers close to critical levels, there is a linear relationship between the severity of the consequences and the amount of accumulated dust. The assessment of the individual risk of the occurrence of an occupational disease of dust aetiology is based on principles based on causal rather than probabilistic relationships, while taking into account the duration of the harmful factor on the worker, the concentration and physical and chemical properties of dust, the presence and protective properties of respiratory PPE , difficulty of work and other indicators characterising working conditions. Scientific novelty. The peculiarity of the proposed methodological approach to the assessment of the risk of occupational diseases of the workers’ respiratory organs of caused by the air dustiness in the working area is that by calculating the dust load on the body of workers and comparing it with the value of the critical dust load, an assessment of the individual risk is carried out, and on its basis, taking into account the number of employees at the facility, the collective risk is calculated. Practical value. The availability of information regarding the individual risk of occupational diseases in an employee allows for timely management decisions regarding the implementation of a set of measures aimed at improving working conditions or the introduction of means of collective and individual protection of the respiratory organs of employees, and also makes it possible to make a timely decision regarding the impracticality of a particular employee’s further work in harmful working conditions when the permissible level of risk is exceeded.

Purpose. Development of a computer model for the study of fire resistance of steel structures protected by fire-resistant coatings, using the example of a fire-resistant steel beam created in the LIRA-SAPR software complex (Ukraine). Methods. Finite element method, application of computational methods of numerical modelling of the LIRA-SAPR software complex, mathematical modelling of thermal processes of non-stationary thermal conductivity. Results. A computer model was developed in the LIRA- SAPR software complex, with the help of which thermal engineering calculation of the beam was carried out. The model makes it possible to evaluate the fire resistance of both unprotected and fire-protected steel beams, to take into account the properties of the beam material and the material of the fire-resistant coating. The peculiarity of modelling the non-stationary heating of a fire-resistant steel beam is to specify the thermophysical characteristics of the fire-resistant coating when solving the problem of non-stationary thermal conductivity. The results of the calculated determination of the fire resistance of the fire-resistant steel beam were compared with experimental data. As a result, a satisfactory convergence of the results of the calculation and experimental study of fire resistance was established (the error is no more than 12%). The results of the experimental determination of the fire resistance of unloaded beams under fire conditions of the standard fire temperature regime were analysed. The accuracy of the developed computer model was evaluated with the results of the experiment. Scientific novelty. A finite-element model of a fire-resistant steel beam has been developed in the LIRA- SAPR software complex, which allows calculating the fire resistance limits of beams protected by fire-resistant coatings with scientifically justified parameters with sufficient accuracy for engineering calculations. Practical significance. It consists in creating the basis for the calculated assessment of fire resistance of building structures protected by fire-resistant coatings by creating computer models capable of performing fire resistance calculations. Due to this, there should be a significant reduction in the cost of work on fire resistance assessment and, as a result, an increase in the effectiveness of measures to increase the fire resistance of building structures.

Effect of allogeneic blood transfusion on neutrophil functional activity and lymphocyte cytotoxicity in recipient rabbits
Authors: Maliuk Mykola , Illek Josef , Kulida Mariia , Savchuk Maryna , Yehorov Oleksii
Published: February 2023

The relevance of this paper is that transfusion of allogeneic blood to recipient animals is always associated with immunological risks. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to assess the state of phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils by indicators of phagocytic index, phagocytic number, and oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity, as well as to establish changes in antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes in recipient rabbits during allogeneic whole blood transfusion. Modelling of blood transfusions was performed on five clinically healthy rabbits by intravenous administration of whole blood at the rate of 5.5 ml/kg of body weight. Blood samples were taken from animals on Days 3, 7, and 23 after blood transfusion. Neutrophil populations were obtained from blood samples by centrifugation on a double density gradient of 1.077 and 1.093 Ficoll-Verografin. The absorption activity of phagocytes was determined in a microscopic test. To investigate the oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity of neutrophils, a spontaneous test with nitroblue tetrazolium was performed. Antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes was investigated by colorimetric method. It was found that after the transfusion of whole blood, the phagocytic activity of neutrophils increases with a simultaneous decrease in their absorption capacity. On Days 3 and 7, the results of the spontaneous test with nitroblue tetrazolium decreased. This indicates inactivation of the oxygen-dependent bactericidal activity of neutrophil granulocytes during the first phase of post-transfusion immunological reactions. On Day 23, there was an increase in the values of the indicators of the spontaneous test with nitroblue tetrazolium, which indicates the activation of the bactericidal properties of phagocytes. It was found that on Day 3, the antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes significantly decreased relative to the initial state, and on Days 7 and 23, it increased. An increase in the antibody-dependent cytotoxic activity of lymphocytes should be associated with the active synthesis of antibodies of the late phase of the immune response. Consequently, transfusion of allogeneic blood causes an immune response in recipient rabbits, without causing immediate and long-term transfusion reactions (changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, body temperature). The obtained results are of practical value both for scientists and practising doctors who use transfusion of whole blood and its components to animals with acute anaemia, impaired functional activity of blood coagulation factors, parasitic, and oncological diseases

Published: February 2023

With the constant improvement of the quality of life of people, as well as the intensification of competition in the domestic and foreign markets, the quality and safety of agricultural products faces new challenges. Only competitive enterprises can produce food products in accordance with the requirements of international standards and will be able to take advantage of international cooperation in investment, crediting, certification, insurance, scientific and technical support of agricultural production and sale of food products. The article summarizes the concepts: "quality management system", the factors that affect the level of product quality are determined, proposals are presented.  The general principles and provisions of the most common quality management systems based on international standards that are recommended to be implemented in the activities of agricultural enterprises are analyzed. The necessity and advantages of implementing a quality management system (HACCP - Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) as a tool for the production of quality agricultural products are determined. The application of the food safety management system based on the idea (HACCP - Hazard Analyses and Critical Control Points) provides the company with the opportunity provide guarantees for the production of a safe product through continuous control at all stages of production; qualitatively manage all critical factors that threaten food safety - eliminate, minimize or prevent their occurrence; provide guarantees that food products are safe at the time of consumption; guarantee proper sanitary conditions of production in accordance with international standards; ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements for food safety; establish the trust of consumers, partners and Effective quality management is a comprehensive and systematic management process that is carried out on the basis of strict adherence to the principles of quality management, with minimal costs and maximum results. The latter is especially important, since the effectiveness of management is determined by its efficiency and maximum return on activity with minimal costs for organizational, economic, technical, personnel, social measures and balancing the whole range of factors affecting the formation and maintenance of product quality. The development, certification, and maintenance of the quality management system in a state of capacity is one of the strategic directions of business entities, which significantly increases their efficiency, economic efficiency and competitiveness in the domestic and world markets. To ensure the appropriate competitiveness of agricultural products in the markets, it is necessary to constantly monitor the improvement of its quality.
SCIENTIFIC AND METHODOLOGICAL BASIS OF PERSONNEL POTENTIAL OF AN AGRARIAN ENTERPRISE
Authors: Zemliana Liudmyla
Published: February 2023

Different authors and researchers describe personnel potential in different ways, noting those aspects of personnel that are relevant to them. The disadvantage of this approach is that the content of this potential is lost. A review of the research made it possible to identify four approaches to the study of the content of personnel potential: according to the subject component or characteristics of full-time employees; resource, which considers personnel potential from the point of view of existing and potential personnel, creative, personal, etc.; competence, which relies on knowledge, abilities and skills, social qualities of employees; socio-psychological. In particular, researchers do not focus on the managerial, leadership and mentoring skills of the research personnel. Turning to representatives of agribusiness, one of the significant shortcomings of project management in the agricultural sector is lack of project management techniques, ignorance of the subject area, insufficiently developed communication functions. That is why, in the course of researching the etymology and content of "personnel", we consider it important to clarify "personnel" through the professional and qualification competences of personnel, leadership skills, the ability to take control of the process (management competence), the ability to form skills, teach, instruct, prepare others (mentoring competence), the ability to unite, form relationships, connections (communication competence). In the mention of "personnel" one can hear about the "personnel" feeling of personnel, personnel value, personnel potential, which should be revealed in order to investigate the development of the personnel potential of an agricultural enterprise.

Published: February 2023

Aims: This study applied the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire to describe lifestyle physical activities among older community-dwelling breast cancer survivors (BCSs) living in a medium-sized Midwestern city in the United States. Methods: BCS participants completed the CHAMPS at baseline (n = 146) and 12-month follow-up (n = 67). Generalized linear mixed-effects models, logistic regression, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used to analyze the quantitative data. Qualitative responses were categorized and quantified using frequencies. Results: A total of 247 responses to CHAMPS survey were received from participants (n = 146) who averaged 67 years of age and 10 years post-surgery. About 84% of respondents reported at least some moderate-intensive exercise in the past week for a median of 4 h. For a participant 10 years younger than another, the odds of having at least some moderate and intensive exercise were doubled (odds ratio [OR] = 2.01, P = 0.00) in hours and 89% higher (OR = 1.89, P = 0.00) in caloric expenditure. No statistically significant differences were found between the annual surveys in exercise caloric expenditures. Additional activities, including farm work, woodworking/carpentry, construction activities, and caring for grandchildren, were reported. Item missing rate was only 1.05%. Conclusion: CHAMPS is useful in measuring the lifestyle physical activities among Midwestern older BCS. Further analysis of the constructs of the demographic relevant activities is necessary for optimizing the use of the tool among the aging Midwestern population.

Penyelesaian sengketa dapat dilakukan melalui lembaga pengadilan (litigasi) dan dapat juga diselesaikan diluar lembaga pengadilan (non litigasi). Penyelesain sengketa non litigas lebih dikenal dengan Alternative Disputes Resolution (ADR). Penyelesaian sengketa secara non litigasi lahir karena beberapa kelemahan dalam penyelesaian sengketa secara litigasi. Lahirnya Perda No. 7 Tahun 2018 tentang Nagari memberikan pembaruan hukum bagi masyarakat Sumatera Barat khususnya pada Kabupaten Tanah Datar dimana semula penyelesaian sengketa sako maupun pusako diselesaikan melalui Kerapatan Adat Nagari beralih kepada lembaga Peradilan Adat Nagari yang dibentuk oleh KAN. Berdasarkan hal ini maka rumusan masalah penelitian yaitu: 1) Bagaimana penyelesaian sengketa sako melalui mediasi oleh peradilan adat Kabupaten Tanah Datar berdasarkan Perda No. 7 Tahun 2018 tentang Nagari? 2) Bagaimana peran peradilan Adat di Kabupaten Tanah Datar dalam penyelesaian sengketa sako? Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian yuridis sosiologis, bersifat deskriptif analitis, dan analisis data secara kualitatif. Hasil penelitian merumuskan: 1). Penyelesaian sengketa sako di oleh peradilan adat nagari di Kabupaten Tanah Datar berdasarkan Perda No. 7 Tahun 2018 tentang Nagari dilaksanakan berdasarkan ketentuan adat yang berlaku yaitu bajanjang naiak batanggo turun. 2) . Peran Peradilan Adat di Kabupaten Tanah Datar dalam penyelesaian sengketa sako dilihat dari 3 nagari yaitu Nagari Balimbiang, Nagari Sungayang, dan Nagari Sumani yaitu tidak berperan karena diketahui bahwa KAN dari 3 Nagari tersebut belum mebentuk Peradilan Adat Nagari sebagaimana yang diamanatkan dalam Pasal 15 Perda No. 7 Tahun 2018 tentang Nagari sehingga penyelesaian sengketa sako masih dilakukan secara musyawarah mufakat oleh Kerapatan Adat Nagari di Nagari tersebut.

Restitusi ini didapatkan dengan mengajukan permohonan kepada Lembaga Perlindungan Saksi dan Korban. Lembaga ini hanya bersifat reaktif yang baru bereaksi setelah ada permohonan dan sebaiknya dilakukan secara proaktif. Lembaga ini menginventarisir anak yang menjadi korban serta memberikan restitusi kepada yang memenuhi syarat. Bentuk restitusi yang diberikan kepada anak korban tindak pidana adalah ganti kerugian atas kehilangan kekayaan atau penghasilan, ganti kerugian yang ditimbulkan akibat penderitaan yang berkaitan langsung sebagai akibat tindak pidana dan/atau penggantian biaya perawatan medis dan/atau psikologis. Bentuk ini telah diterapkan dalam putusan Pengadilan Negeri Klas I A Padang Nomor 327-Pid.Sus-2019-PN.Pdg tanggal 26 Agustus 2019 atas inisiatif Penuntut Umum telah berusaha menginventarisir kerugian anak korban tindak pidana sejumlah Rp 194.125.000,-. Eksekusi putusan pengadilan ini yang telah mempunyai kekuatan hukum tetap tidak dapat dilaksanakan karena terpidana tidak mampu membayar restitusi tersebut, tidak adanya pidana subside dan tidak adanya peraturan petunjuk pelaksananya.

Korupsi merupakan kejahatan luar biasa (extra ordinary crime) yang memerlukan perhatian khusus di Indonesia. Tidak hanya merugikan keuangan negara, namun korupsi juga menghilangkan legitimasi penegakan hukum dengan menghancurkan kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap hukum. Tentu dalam upaya pemberantasan korupsi tersebut tidak akan berjalan lancar jika masih terdapat pihak-pihak yang berupaya menciderai proses penegakan hukum berupa menghalangi dan merintangi proses penegakan hukum atau dikenal dengan istilah Obstruction of Justice. Namun dalam pengaturannya, Obstruction of Justice masih menyisakan masalah. Dimana, Pasal 21 Undang-Undang Nomor 31 Tahun 1999 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi sebagaimana diubah dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2001 tentang Pemberantasan Tindak Pidana Korupsi (selanjutnya disebut UU PTPK) yang mengatur Obstruction of Justice memunculkan kerancuan dalam memahami maksud delik ini. Khususnya dalam frasa “sengaja mencegah, merintangi, atau menggagalkan secara langsung atau tidak langsung”. Menjawab persoalan tersebut, maka perlu diketahui bagaimana eksistensi pengaturan Obstruction of Justice dalam perkara tindak pidana korupsi berdasarkan UU PTPK dan bagaimana pula penegakan hukum dan kendala yang dihadapi untuk menindak Obstruction of Justice tersebut. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian normatif yang bersifat deskriptif. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa eksistensi pengaturan Obstruction of Justice perlu ditata ulang sehingga dapat ditentukan apakah suatu perbuatan tersebut dianggap sengaja untuk menghalangi proses hukum berdasarkan parameteter yang telah ditentukan. Studi ini menyarankan perlunya merevisi UU PTPK, memperkuat sinergitas antar lembaga penegak hukum, memanfaatkan undang-undang terkait korupsi yang ada, meningkatkan profesionalisme aparat penegak hukum, dan meningkatkan kesadaran publik. Upaya ini penting dilakukan sebagai pendekatan di masa depan dalam melawan korupsi.

Budaya hidup masyarakat negara berkembang yang sifatnya komunal sangat mempengaruhi status kepemilikan kekayaan intelektual yang tertuang dalam pengetahuan tradisional. Masyarakat sebagai pemilik dari pengetahuan tradisional, tidak memperhitungkan keuntungan ekonomi dan tidak memiliki keinginan untuk melindunginya, karena masyarakat tersebut menganggap pengetahuan tradisional merupakan milik bersama dan memberikan pengetahuan itu merupakan suatu kebajikan. Dilain pihak, negara-negara maju yang dimayoritasi oleh negara-negara barat mengusung filsafat individualisme dan kapitalisme yang mewujudkan gagasan untuk melindungi hak-hak milik individual, khususnya perlindungan terhadap property, baik intellectual property maupun modal. Negara-negara ini menganggap bahwa pengetahuan obat-obatan tradisional dan sumber daya hayati yang terkait merupakan public domain, sehingga siapa saja (individu) bebas untuk mengeksploitasi dan mengomersialkan untuk keuntungan diri sendiri. Pertemuan kedua filsafat hidup yang berbeda serta berbeda dalam memandang konsep etika dan hukum yang menyangkut pemilikan atas kekayaan (property), termasuk kekayaan intelektual dalam pergaulan masyarakat internasional antara negara-negara maju dengan negara berkembang ini menimbulkan konflik kepentingan. Negara-negara maju merasa tidak melakukan kesalahan yang dianggap misappropriation oleh negara-negara berkembang karena mereka menganggap tidak melanggar hak-hak orang lain. Sebagai salah satu negara berkembang, Indonesia menyadari bahwa pengetahuan tradisional sangat membutuhkan perlindungan HKI, oleh karena itu, pengetahuan tradisional dilindungi oleh hak cipta. Pengetahuan tradisional dianggap merupakan bagian dari folklore, akan tetapi perlindungan ini tidak bisa berjalan dengan efektif seperti adanya dua pasal (pasal 10 dengan pasal 1 UU Hak Cipta), dan faktor-faktor lainnya. Selain daripada itu, pemerintah Indonesia juga mengupayakan alternatif perlindungan lain, seperti membentuk ketentuan yang disesuaikan dengan prinsip hidup dan kebutuhan masyarakat lokal yang bersangkutan, membuat dokumentasi yang tidak berorientasi untuk hak paten serta menyiapkan sistem benefit sharing yang tepat dan sesuai dengan keadaan masyarakat lokal yang bersangkut.

BPJS (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial) Kesehatan merupakan lembaga jaminan kesehatan dalam lingkup Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia,memiliki kedudukan yang sangat penting dalam sistem pelayanan kesehatan di Indonesia. Keberadaan BPJS Kesehatan di Indonesia merupakan penggantian terhadap Askes (Asuransi Kesehatan) yang mulai diberlakukan sejak tanggal 1 Januari 2014, yang diatur di dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2011. Pelaksanaan pelayanan kesehatan melalui BPJS Kesehatan yang diberlakukan terhadap PNS, Polri, Pensiunan dan Masyarakat saat ini mengalami keterbatasan bagi pemerintah di dalam memberikan perlindungan hukum dalam pelayanan kesehatan. Keterbatasan tersebut menimbulkan masalah tersendiri bagi pemerintah dalam memberikan pelayanan publik dalam rangka mewujudkan asas pemerintahan yang baik (Good Governance) sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh Undang-Undang Nomor 25 Tahun 2009 Tentang Pelayanan Publik. Oleh sebab itu, perlu dirumuskan dan diketahui kebijakan pemerintah dalam pelaksanaan pelayanan kesehatan melalui BPJS (Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial) Kesehatan dalam rangka memberikan perlindungan hukum terhadap pasien dan untuk mewujudkan Asas Pemerintahan yang Baik (Good Governance), khususnya pada masa menghadapi pandemi covid-19 di Indonesia, khususnya di Provinsi Sumatera Barat.

Anak merupakan amanah dari Tuh an Yang M aha Esa yang melekat harkat dan martabat sebagai manusia seutuhnya. Anak perlu mendapat perlindungan dari dampak negatif perkembangan pembangunan yang cepat.Sejak diundangkan pada tanggal 30 Juli 2012,Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012 tentang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak , memiliki berbagai konsekuensi terhadap berbagai pihak dalam penanganan perkara anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum. Dalam UUSPPA, dikenal lembaga baru seperti Lembaga Penempatan Anak Sementara (LPAS), Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA), RPKA (Ruang Pelayanan Khusus Anak dan LPKS (Lembaga Penyelenggaran Kesejahteraan Sosial). Implikasi lainnya dari UUSPPA adalah berkaitan dengan peraturan pelaksana dari Undang-Undang tersebut dimana Pemerintah diwajibkan untuk menetapkan 6 (enam) Peraturan Pemerintah dan 2 (dua) Peraturan Presiden.Anak merupakan amanah dari Tuh an Yang M aha Esa yang m elekat harkat dan m artabat sebagai manusia seutuhnya. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini: Pertama, bagaimana implementasi Undang-Undang Sistim Peradilan Pidana anak di Sumatera Barat? Kedua Sejauhmana peran pemerintah dalam memberikan perlindungan terhadap anak yang berhadapan dengan hukum (ABH) menurut Undang-Undang No 11 tahun 2012 tentang Sistim Peradilan Pidana Anak di Sumatera Barat? Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah socio legal approach yaitu yang bersifat kualitatif, berdasarkan data kepustakaan, dengan dua pendekatan yaitu; pendekatan sosial dan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian Implementasi UU SPPA belum sesuai dengan apa yang diamanatkan UU SPPA seperti: 1) peraturan pendukung yang belum diselesaikan, dari 8 ( delapan ) baru 3 ( tiga ) yang terealisasi, 2). Kurangnya lembaga baru penganti tempat penangkapan dan penahanan yaitu, belum tersedianya disemua Propinsi LPKA,LPAS,RPKA dan LPKS, 3). Belum terrealisasinya ketentuan Pasal 105 UU SPPA terkait dengan pembangunan BAPAS di setiap Kabupaten.Kota termasuk di Sumatera Barat. Sedangkan upaya yang dilakukan pemerintah dalam memberikan perlindungan terhadap ABH adalah penerapan diversi menurut UU SPPA sesuai dengan yang diatur Pasal 6 dan 7. Pemerintah perlu mempercepat mengeluarkan peraturan pendukung UUSPPA dan melalui Kemenkumham perencanaan pembangunan LPKA,LPAS,LPKS dan RPKA serta BAPAS.
