Physical and Chemical Properties of Meat in Relation to Wooden Breast Myopathies in Male Broiler Chickens Raised in Evaporative Cooling Systems
Authors: Namted Siriporn , Bunchasak Chaiyapoom
Published: December 2022

Background: There are few scientific reports of the occurrence of wooden breast (WB) in Thailand. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and effect of WB on the physical and chemical properties of meat from chickens reared under an evaporative cooling system (EVAP). Methods: A total 124 broiler chickens (BW = 2721.27±273.40 g) were selected from a group of 588 male broiler chickens (at 36 days of age). The WB meat (left site) score of each chicken was identified as being normal, moderate or severe. In order to compare the effect of the WB score on meat quality, based on the number of chickens in the normal group, the number of chickens in the moderate and severe groups were equalised (19 birds/group). The effects of the WB score on pH, colour, drip loss, thawing loss and cooking loss of the meat were observed. Result: The body weight of normal meat, moderate WB and severe WB was 2525.26±221.49, 2683.53±273.17 and 2883.78±211.90 g, respectively. The severe WB score occurred when the body weight (g) was heavier than the normal meat group for 14.19% (P less than 0.01). At 24 hours, the pH, drip loss, cooking loss and water content of the severe WB group was significantly higher, while the protein content in the severe WB group was lower than the normal meat group (P less than 0.01). Moreover, the severe WB group presented higher lightness, redness and yellowness values compared to the normal meat group (P less than 0.01). In conclusion, a larger body of broiler chickens, greater than 14% of the strain’s recommendation induced a severe WB score, which caused poor meat quality.

Description du sujet: Les troubles de comportement alimentaire (TCA) constituent un problème majeur de santé publique dont les facteurs de risque restent une énigme. Il y’a un manque d’informations sur la prévalence des TCA en Côte d’ivoire dans la population générale. Nous nous proposons dans cette présente étude d’évaluer la prévalence des TCA parmi un groupe d’étudiants en première année académique à l’Université Félix HOUPHOUËT BOIGNY, et essayer de connaître les possibles facteurs de risque. Methodologie: Nous avions soumis aux étudiants un questionnaire recueillant des déterminants socioéconomiques et démographiques, et les mesures anthropométriques ont été prises avec leur consentement. Les auto-questionnaires du EAT 26 et le BITE ont permis d’évaluer les prévalences du TCA anorexique et boulimique, respectivement. Enfin, l’état mental du Stress, d’Anxiété ou de Dépression diagnostiqué avec le questionnaire du DASS 21. Résultats: Nos résultats montrent essentiellement que 45,14% des étudiants souffrent du risque de TCA anorexique contre seulement 4,85% pour le TCA boulimique. Les sujets des deux sexes sont aussi bien affectés par le risque d’anorexie que par les TCA boulimique. La prévalence du stress, d’anxiété ou de dépression est très importante parmi les étudiants et étudiantes selon les réponses au DASS 21. Le test de khi-deux montre un lien hautement significatif entre l’état de maigreur et le risque de TCA anorexique (p<0,01). De plus, la relation entre les états mentaux de stress, d’anxiété et le risque de TCA anorexique est très significatif (p<0,001). Conclusion: Même si des études supplémentaires sont nécessaires, nos résultats appellent à une stratégie de prévention des TCA en milieu universitaire en recommandant un programme national de détection précoce et de prise en charge des étudiants victimes.

Published: December 2022

The problem of asbestos geoecology remains relevant. Asbestos is considered potentially dangerous, because when asbestos-containing materials are destroyed, thin elongated fibers are released and damage organs and tissues of mammals and humans. On the other hand, unique fire-resistant thermal properties of asbestos support using it in a wide range of products.

Mineralogical study of asbestos ore from the Kiembayevsky deposit, depositing media (dust) and production products used in shipbuilding was carried out by optical microscopy and X-ray analysis.

We determined that the methods of optical microscopy and X-ray analysis, and, if necessary, their integration, allowed obtaining reliable information about the presence of chrysotile asbestos and its content in various objects, which was necessary for solving problems not only in the geological industry, but also in other areas of the national economy. A quantitative assessment of the content of chrysotile-asbestos, amphibole-asbestos and asbestos-like respirable fibers (natural and artificial) in rocks, technogenic formations (mainly deposit media), and anthropogenic production products is presented.

The layered distribution of the isotopic composition (18O) in the snow mass under conditions of different dust pollution of the near-surface atmosphere was studied on the territory of two scientific test sites of the IAO SB RAS: the Fonovaya observatory and the suburban BEK test site (Tomsk). Interlayer differences in isotopic characteristics and the activity of snow chemical reactions were evaluated in conjunction with the analysis of the dispersed composition of the precipitated aerosol substance, the radiation transparency of snow in the UV range, and taking into account reverse trajectories of air mass transfer. Interlayer fluctuations in 18O values were established, the variability of which increased in layers confined to the thermal diffusion geochemical barrier. We suggested that due to the geochemical activity of snow and its ultraviolet transparency, as well as the presence of iron-containing dust-aerosol particles in the snow mass, conditions arose that initiated photoactivated snow-chemical reactions. Their occurrence may be accompanied by free radical oxidation of the precipitated aerosol matter and the formation of stable photoreaction products, which may be evidenced by the established post-sedimentary interlayer differences in the isotope stratification of the snow mass.

Emergency departments are facing increasing drug-related health problems with difficult medicolegal and social consequences. A 25-year-old male with no past medical history arrived at our emergency department. He was brought to the emergency room of our hospital by the security forces, as he suffered a gunshot wound while traveling to a place. The cocaine-filled capsule was seen on plain abdominal film. The plain abdominal film is the most commonly used radiological tool to detect 2-8 cm drug-filled packages within the gastrointestinal tract of body packers. In a study that analyzed the role of drugs in firearm deaths in New York between 1990 and 1998, more than half of firearm deaths had positive drug toxicology. Physicians working in the emergency unit should be prepared for secondary diagnoses. In addition, different examination and imaging findings should be kept in mind in suspicious cases.

Tendances de la recherche sur l'intégrité scientifique
Authors: Mansour Amine , Ruphy Stéphanie
Published: December 2022

Plus d’une trentaine d’années après la création des premières structures dédiées à sa promotion, l’intégrité scientifique s’est progressivement constituée en tant que thématique de recherche à part entière. Aujourd’hui, une communauté scientifique et académique est réunie autour de cet objet, comme en témoignent la publication d’un nombre croissant d’articles, la création de revues spécialisées ou encore l’organisation de conférences spécifiquement dédiées. Néanmoins, rares sont les travaux qui ont cherché à proposer une vue d’ensemble de la littérature académique relative à l’intégrité scientifique. C’est dans cette perspective que cet état de l’art s’inscrit et entend apporter une contribution. Avec la volonté de rendre compte des principales tendances de la recherche en la matière, nous avons principalement ciblé dans ce travail des articles, des commentaires ou encore quelques documents institutionnels qui ont cherché à approfondir la compréhension que l’on a de l’intégrité scientifique, à explorer les diverses façons de la promouvoir, à mieux cerner l’occurrence des manquements qui y sont liés, ou encore à proposer une lecture de ces questions sous un angle spécifique. Certaines des thématiques qui sont abordées dans cet état de l’art sont incontournables dans le paysage de la recherche et font l’objet d’une attention marquée depuis longtemps, à l’image de l’étude des manquements à l’intégrité scientifique. D’autres, à l’instar des études historiques de l’intégrité scientifique, représentent des pistes de recherche un peu moins explorées mais dont l’intérêt nous semble assez important pour appeler à davantage de développements.

This study analyzes the effect of cigarette prices on cigarette consumption in Indonesia. By using aggregate macro data on cigarette consumption (administrative data) for 2015-2020, estimated using OLS, 2SLS, GMM, and System-GMM, we found that cigarette prices have a negative and significant effect on cigarette consumption based on myopic and rational addiction models. The estimation results also confirm that cigarettes are inelastic products where price changes do not significantly impact cigarette consumption. It implies that the Government needs to significantly increase excise rates and minimum selling prices regularly to control cigarette consumption more effectively.

The high productivity and quality of the harvested prawn are the main objectives of the intensive giant freshwater prawn (GFP) culture. Therefore, the breeding program to create a superior strain of the prawn has been conducted in several countries to support prawn farming. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the productivity and female reproductive performance of the GFP superior strains, namely the selected GI Macro (GI) and Siratu (SR) in the three farming conditions. The GI has resulted from an individual selection program based on standard length and maturation level characters. The multi-location test was conducted in the grow-out phase for 90 days at the three locations based on altitude, namely low-lands (in Subang, 10-25 m above the sea level, asl), medium-lands (in Ciamis, 70-100 m asl), high-lands (in Kuningan, 700-800 m asl). The growth characters consisting of total length/TL, standard length/SL, and body weight/BB of GI and SR were not significantly different, both on the Low, medium, and high lands ponds.Â  The survival rate of the GI (87,3Â±7.26%) was significantly higher than the SR (71.0Â±0.08%) in the medium-land pond.Â  In the high-lands pond, the survival rate of the SR (72.33Â±0.32%) was significantly higher than the GI (55.8Â±6.27%). Meanwhile, the productivity and percentage of the gravid female in the low-lands pond were not significantly different. The data suggested that the selected GI Macro is a location-specific genotype, more suitable to be cultured in the low and moderate-lands pond with warm temperature characteristics.Â Keywords: freshwater prawn, growth, multi-location, reproduction
BIAXIAL HEAT BALANCE MODEL OF SOLAR COLLECTOR
Authors: Minakova Kseniia , Zaitsev Roman
Published: December 2022

Solar collectors and thermophotoelectric systems (PV/T) are considered, which are one of the most promising systems for instilling energy. Electricity, which is vibrated by photovoltaic panels, has a great potential, but there may be technological shortcomings, which do not give maximum efficiency. Development of a general model of heat exchange processes for optimizing the design features of PV/T systems at the stages of design and variability allows us to increase the term of service of such systems and increase their efficiency. The expanded model allows you to change more practical parameters for two coordinates of a flat collector, such as to change the consumption of thermal energy, thermal support of the absorber plate, heat exchange, operating temperature, etc. The results of the model investigations correlate with the experimental data. On the basis of the proposed model, a software product for the model-bath of PV/T systems was developed and tested on the experimental results of those ready-to-wear PV/T systems. In the course of carrying out the expansions, depending on the basic parameters, the heating of heat was removed when one segment of the collector was passed by approximately 1.5 °C. The designated increase in temperature is reached at a heat transfer rate of 0.6 m/s, which is to achieve a great rate. The most optimal will be the heating of heat when passing through the collector by 5 °C, which will allow to reduce the speed of heat transfer to 0.2 m/s and significantly reduce the amount of electricity consumed by the pump. The variation of the expanded model allows to implement a wide range of optimization tasks at the stages of designing and optimizing solar collectors and PV/T systems, to take the optimal design parameters to achieve the greatest efficiency and minimum occupancy.

Published: December 2022

One of the primary characteristics of the marine environment is the speed of sound, which very sensitively reflects its smallest changes. Moreover, this characteristic is integral, integral. It inseparably characterizes the state of the system, which is formed by a whole complex of influences and reactions to them. By separating the effects and reactions on the so-called temperature, salinity, pressure, known to us at this stage of the development of the physics, we supposedly simplify the system and its understanding, but in fact we get confused, giving one of the factors very great or very little importance (the possibilities of influence on system). Acoustic tomography is based, among other things, on the sound irradiation of the marine environment and the analysis of the received signal for the purpose of evaluating changes in its characteristics after passing through the water space. Changes in the characteristics of the acoustic signal can occur for annual reasons, one of which is spatial changes in the vertical distribution of sound speed. As a result of theoretical research in the direction of passive acoustic tomography, using the methods of modeling the refraction of acoustic waves, a new type of quantitative characteristics of the acoustic field was determined for the first time. The principle of determining the appropriate reference characteristic of the acoustic field is proposed, on the basis of which the basis for creating algorithms for restoring the vertical distribution of sound speed is developed. The algorithm for determining the reference characteristic, including, includes the calculation of acoustic energy losses, which is translated into the frequency domain to determine the positive extremum of the amplitude spectrum and the calculation of the reference characteristic of the regional acoustic field in the time domain. One of a number of algorithms for determining the spatial isotropy of the vertical sound speed distribution has been adapted. The implementation of the specified algorithm of passive acoustic tomography will provide ship sonar with input data for depth determination, which will increase the safety of navigation.

Published: December 2022

Production of gluten-free pasta is offered. A new food product for a special purpose has been developed - pasta made from whole-grain amaranth flour, which will be able to provide the daily rate of fiber consumption. An analysis of the latest research and publications was conducted and it was found that Ukrainian and foreign scientists are investigating the use of new raw materials from amaranth in the technologies of functional food products. On the basis of the analyzed sources, a complex of studies on the development of macaroni recipes and determining their quality is substantiated. Based on the research results, a technology for making gluten-free pasta products has been developed. Eating amaranth macaroni will reduce the signs of aging and heart disease, reduce the effect of inflammation that occurs during allergies due to the production of immunoglobulin E and the cholesterol content in human blood. The rich content of proteins, vitamins, trace elements, fiber and essential amino acids, in particular lysine, makes pasta not only tasty, but also useful and functional food. Thanks to this, the new pasta can become a dietary product that will provide the human body with all the necessary nutrients. It was established that amaranth noodles have insufficient strength for production, because of this, manufacturers combined amaranth with other types of raw materials. It was determined that the addition of albumin, xanthan, guarana significantly improves the properties of pasta products. The ratio of recipe ingredients that ensured the production of quality products: 15% albumin, 0.7% xanthan, and 0.5% guarana to amaranth flour, were experimentally determined. The organoleptic and digestive parameters of the developed products were determined. Losses during cooking of pasta, their dependence on the type of additional raw materials, were established. The effect of albumin, xanthan, guaran as substances that ensure the hardness and consistency of products and reduce losses during cooking has been confirmed. The moisture content of finished pasta was determined. Their strength, hardness, shape and consistency were evaluated. Attention is focused on the low strength of amaranth flour pasta products and the need to pack them in hard cardboard boxes. The possibility of introducing the production of pasta products on flow-mechanized lines was considered. The rich mineral composition of amaranth, increased protein content, this allows gluten-free pasta products to have a health-giving character and become an indispensable product for healthy, balanced human nutrition.
ANALYSIS OF METHODS DETERMINATION GROUND RESISTANCE OF HUMAN FEET
Authors: Koliushko Denis , Rudenko Serhii , Furaev Yurii
Published: December 2022

To reduce the touch voltage at power plants and substations use the laying of a surface layer with a resistivity greater than the original soil. Determining the ground resistance of human foot (resistance of the surface of such a layer) is an important characteristic that must be taken into account both when designing a grounding device and during operation. Despite the practical measurement of the specified value by the specialists of Institute “Molniya” of the NTU “KhPI”, the issue of determining the resistance of the base is not covered in scientific and scientific-practical publications of Ukraine. Therefore, one of the goals of the authors is to draw attention and raise a dispute regarding the methods for determining this parameter. The first step towards this was the review and analysis of existing methods of determination. The experimental and computational methods for determining the ground resistance of human feet and recommendations for their use are were analyzed. The analysis of  all known methods for determining the resistance of base made it possible to group ones into groups of calculation and experimental methods (the total number of analyzed methods is 21). Based on the results of the analysis of a number of literature sources and practical experience of monitoring the condition of grounding system, the advantages and disadvantages of each method are determined. Recommendations for their use depending on the condition of the object (current or designed), weather conditions, the presence of additional local inclusions or service areas. The practical significance of the work is the ability to optimally choose the method of determining the resistance of the surface during the control of the state of the grounding device The analysis determines the limits of the use of specific engineering techniques and is useful for designers and highly qualified specialists who perform work on diagnosing grounding devices of existing power facilities.
Unified Modeling of Pseudo-Slug and Churn Flows for Liquid Holdup and Pressure Gradient Predictions in Pipelines and Wellbores
Authors: Fan Y. , Aljasser M.
Published: December 2022

Pseudo-slug flow is a coherent flow pattern that occurs in horizontal or inclined pipes surrounded by segregated and conventional slug flows. Recent studies have demonstrated that this flow pattern can occupy a large area in the flow pattern map and cannot be simply ignored. Churn flow commonly occurs in upward vertical or slightly deviated wellbores characterized by a chaotic intermittent flow behavior. Pseudo-slug and churn flows are generally considered as two different flow patterns mainly because of their visual differences. However, some recent studies have shown that they share many similarities. There are several hydraulic models for churn flow, and the models for pseudo-slug flow have also emerged in recent years. However, these models only work for a certain inclination angle range, and none work for both flow patterns. This paper proposes a new unified hydraulic model that is applicable for both flow patterns. The liquid holdup prediction is based on the drift-flux model, while the pressure gradient is predicted using a two-fluid model that considers wall frictions from both gas and liquid phases. The new model better captures the effects of gas and liquid flow rates, gas density, liquid viscosity, inclination angle, and pipe diameter on the liquid holdup and pressure gradient compared with other models. Model evaluations show that the new model gives the best predictions compared with other available pseudo-slug or churn models. The new model reduces the total average absolute relative error to 14.0% for the liquid holdup prediction and 19.1% for the pressure gradient prediction.
The Social Anatomy of Climate Change Denial in the United States

Published: December 2022

Using Twitter data, this study evaluates and maps climate change denialism across the United States. We estimate that 14.8% of Americans do not believe in climate change. This denialism highest in the central and southern U.S. However, it also persists in clusters within states where belief in climate change is high. Political affiliation was the strongest determinant, followed by level of education, COVID-19 vaccination rates, carbon intensity of the regional economy, and income. A coordinated social media network in the Twittersphere uses periodic events, such as cold weather and climate conferences, to sow disbelief about climate change and science in general. Donald Trump was the most influential, followed by conservative media outlets, and right-wing activists. As a form of knowledge vulnerability, this denialism renders communities unprepared to take steps to increase resilience. We recommend that social media companies flag accounts that spread climate misinformation and initiate targeted educational campaigns.

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of streptozotocin (STZ) induces memory impairments and neuroinflammation in rats but the relation between neuroinflammation and memory impairments in ICV-STZ injected rats is not well understood. In the present study the memory impairments [working memory errors (WME) and reference memory errors RME)] in ICV-STZ injected rats were assessed with concomitant changes in the neuroinflammatory markers (TNF α, IL-1β, COX2, PGE2) in hippocampus at five different time points after ICV-STZ injection (3rd hour to 21st day post injection). Results showed that the WME and RME were increased gradually with time, and the neuroinflammatory markers were also gradually increased concomitantly after ICV STZ injection. These higher levels of the inflammatory markers are correlated with the memory impairments (WME and RME) and probably indicate a link between memory impairments and neuroinflammation.

Background:Three-stage posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) is the standard technique for treated of high and intermediate anorectal malformations and is widely used worldwide. Single-stage modified PSARP approach for intermediate anorectal malformations has been reported. The study aims to describe the surgical technique and initial outcomes of single-stage operation through a modified PSARP approach preserving the external sphincter intact for intermediate anorectal malformations in neonates.
Patients and Method: A prospective cohort study was done on twenty-five patients with intermediate anorectal malformations operated on by single-stage operation through a modified PSARP approach preserving the external sphincter intact from May 2021 to June 2022. Variables included age of operation, associated anomalies, type of fistula, duration of hospital stay, complications, and initial functional outcomes.
Surgical technique: Skin incision behind the rectum, dissected and exposed the rectal pouch, preserved the sphincter complex intact and dissected the rectal pouch from the posterior wall of the urethra or vagina. Suture the urethral fistula (if any). Use muscle stimulation to define the sphincter center, make a tunnel through the sphincter center, and the rectum through the sphincter complex center for anorectoplasty.
Results: 25 patients including 22 boys and 3 girls, the mean age at operation were 25.3 ± 6.0 hours (range, 20 - 48 hours). The mean operative time was 49.4 ± 9.9 minutes (range 30–75 minutes), and the mean hospital stay was 6.7 ± 1.2 days (from 5 to 9 days). There were no early postoperative complications. Follow-up from 2 to 15 months, all patients have 1-6 bowel movements/day. There were 2 patients with rectal pouch syndrome and redo-operated colon pull-through by laparoscopy. Rectal mucosal prolapse occurred in 3 patients, No patient has anal stenosis or constipation.
Conclusion: Single-stage operation through a modified PSARP approach preserving the external sphincter intactfor intermediate anorectal malformations in the neonate is feasible, safe, and effective.
HA/PEEK Scaffolds with Modified Crystallinity via 3D-bioprinting for Multiple Applications in Hard Tissue Engineering

Published: December 2022

Background
Hard tissues, especially teeth and bones, are highly mineralized and the large-scale defect or total loss of them is irreversible. Scaffolds fabricated with polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were considered as substitute materials with osteogenic properties but poor mechanical properties. There is a lack of a construction strategy of HA/PEEK scaffolds that can balance mechanical and biological properties and the in vitro and in vivo evaluation of them.
Methods
Based on fused deposition melting (FDM), we regulated the crystallinity and mixing ratio of HA of HA/PEEK scaffolds, and explored the material characterization including crystallinity, element content and mechanical properties and biological properties including cell proliferation, migration, osteogenic differentiation of different scaffolds. And we further mimicked the clinical application on the Beagles by implanting the scaffolds to reconstruct the defect of teeth, mandibles and ribs.
Results
We found that the 3D-20%HA/PEEK scaffolds with low crystallinity achieved the required strength and elasticity, and exhibited the characteristics of promoting the proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). The results of the implantation of Beagles’ teeth, mandible and rib showed that the 3D-20%HA/PEEK scaffold with low crystallinity could well withstand the local complex force in the defect area and combine well with natural bone tissue.
Conclusion
The HA/PEEK scaffolds constructed with this strategy had appropriate mechanical properties to withstand complex forces, and good bone regeneration effect, which made them practical and versatile on hard tissue engineering.

A new approach to successfully offering IT services is provided by cloud computing. The body of research implies that cloud technology can raise the quality of services across a range of sectors, especially healthcare. Before being widely used, cloud computing should indeed be thoroughly assessed, like any other technical advance. Many researchers and clinicians are interested in the availability of large, quickly available, and reconfigurable resources including virtual systems, platforms, and applications with minimal service costs. This study gives a thorough analysis of academic literature on cloud computing in the healthcare industry. To propose a categorization methodology with five different categories — Cloud-based framework development in healthcare, virtual machine placement in healthcare, cloud-based Green healthcare, security in cloud-based healthcare, and broker development in healthcare. The authors reviewed 227 articles before narrowing them down to 40. At the end some future research prospects have been highlighted.

Hypomyces spp. is an important group of Hypocreaceae that are widely distributed all over the world, one of the main pathogenic of mushroom cobweb disease. In July 2021, three strains were isolated from symptoms of cobweb disease on fruiting bodies of Auricularia cornea in Guizhou Province, China. Based on phylogenetic analysis and morphological studies, they were then introduced as a new taxon, Hypomyces cornea sp. nov. The pathogenicity test showed that the mushrooms infected with spore suspension had the same symptoms as those in the field, and the same pathogens could be re-isolated, which fulfill Koch’s postulates. The biological characterization of Hypomyces cornea was explored to identify conditions that may be conducive to pathogen habitat, including the effects of different temperature, pH, carbon source, nitrogen source and light conditions. The results showed that the optimal temperature for the pathogen is 25℃, pH = 6, and the best carbon and nitrogen source are soluble starch and peptone, respectively. Nine common fungicides were screened in vitro by hyphal growth inhibition method, and the most suitable fungicide is Prochloraz manganese chloride complex, with high inhibition rate to the pathoge and low inhibition rate to the mushrooms. The results will provide an important basis and material for effective prevention and control of Auricularia cornea cobweb disease.

Changes in sea level caused by glacial cycles may influence the magmatism and hydrothermal activity of oceanic ridges. Recent studies showed that the response time of the hydrothermal activity in the intermediate-fast spreading ridges differs from that in the slow-spreading ridges to the glacial cycles, and a unified model is expected to explain it. Here, we report the 160 ka sediment record adjacent to the Yuhuang hydrothermal field on the Southwest Indian Ridge. Hydrothermal and detachment fault activities were found to enhance or weaken during glacial and interglacial periods, respectively. The magmatism of slow/ultraslow spreading ridges is more sensitive to sea level changes; with the synchronous effect of detachment faults, the hydrothermal activity responds faster to the glacial cycles. We established a model of Sea level change–Magmatism–Detachment fault activity–Hydrothermal activity to explain the different responses of the hydrothermal activity of the mid-ocean ridges to the glacial cycles.

An accurate estimation of present and future concentration of pollutant entering the water body provides data support and scientific basis for government decision-making and water resource management. This study conduct trend analysis of pollutant concentration using Water Quality Analyser (WQA), with a view to providing a scientific basis for decision making towards the implementation of the Malaysian Vision Valley (MVV) Development Plan, and other water resource development plans across the world, using river Linggi, Malaysia, as case study. The result indicated that the Water Quality class (WQ-class) of the river for respective pollutants would remain the same beyond the year 2030. Therefore, the proposed project is sustainable under present water management action. Hence, WQA is useful for water quality predictions for water resource planning and management.
