La Organización de las Naciones Unidas a los 75 años. Cómo los retos de hoy configurarán los siguientes 25 años
Authors: Malon David M. , Day Adam
Published: June 2021

En el marco del 75 aniversario de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (onu), celebrado en 2020, el artículo hace un balance de la situación y señala cómo la fuerza que ha perdido el multilateralismo en muchos de los temas más apremiantes a nivel global ha repercutido negativamente varias de sus actividades fundamentales. La situación se evalúa en cuatro grandes campos de acción de las Naciones Unidas: paz y seguridad, desarrollo internacional, ayuda humanitaria y derechos humanos, y se argumenta que varios logros importantes alcanzados en cada rubro actualmente corren el riesgo de sufrir un retroceso o diluirse. En cada uno de estos grandes temas, se analizan los principales retos que enfrenta la organización, al tiempo que se proponen algunas líneas de acción que deberían profundizarse o hacia las que la onu debería reenfocar su labor.

La reflexión resulta más que pertinente dado que los retos que el mundo enfrenta hoy en día –particularmente los relacionados con el cambio climático, pero también con los gigantescos cambios demográficos de las décadas por venir y el impacto de la tecnología– sólo pueden atenderse mediante la acción colectiva, y las Naciones Unidades deberían desempeñar un rol central al respecto.

La documentación notarial de las “ultimidades” para la historia social y cultural rural de la Europa moderna
Authors: Gómez Navarro María Soledad
Published: June 2021

Este texto pretende mostrar las potencialidades y utilidades –también las dificultades– de la documentación notarial más específica e idónea para estudiar las actitudes ante la muerte en la Europa rural del Antiguo Régimen; incide, por tanto, en escrituras de última voluntad (testamentos, en sus varios y diversos tipos; memoriales, memorias testamentarias, codicilos), escrituras sueltas de donaciones y fundaciones, y de liquidación y distribución de bienes por el óbito (partijas, particiones e inventarios post mortem). No obstante, y para enmarcar ese apartado, que es el central y fundamental de esta aportación, dos más lo acompañan, pues se reflexionará también sobre el aprovechamiento de los instrumentos escribaniles para la Historia económica, social y cultural, y sobre una de las historiografías más beneficiadas al respecto, como ha sido la relativa a los comportamientos colectivos ante la muerte en la España moderna.
La dimension européenne de la libéralisation des terres et les réformes agraires du milieu du 18e siècle au début du 19e
Authors: Jessenne Jean Pierre , Vivier Nadine
Published: June 2021

Cet article de synthèse veut dépasser le cloisonnement des historiographies nationales pour montrer l’importance des aspirations aux réformes agraires, celles des modes de propriété et d’exploitation de la terre. Dans l’Europe des Lumières, les échanges d’idées et d’expériences agronomiques sont intenses, ils sont indissociables des réflexions sur l’économie politique et l’organisation sociale. Les premières tentatives de réformes, dans les années 1760-1780 suscitent de fortes tensions sociales et des réactions divergentes des Etats européens. La Révolution française agitée par de fortes contradictions, imprime sa marque : elle aboutit à une forme de libéralisme agraire mitigé. Sans imposer un modèle à l’Europe, elle contribue plutôt à accentuer les différenciations nationales : alors que certains pays continuent leurs réformes, d’autres ont une réaction conservatrice.

Las actitudes sexistas ambivalentes de entrenadores y entrenadoras y su relación con la percepción del clima motivacional que crean en sus equipos deportivos
Authors: Leiter Ezequiel , Raimundi María Julia , Todarello Florencia
Published: June 2021

El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar las actitudes sexistas ambivalentes de los entrenadores y entrenadoras hacia las mujeres y hacia los hombres y su relación con la percepción del clima motivacional que crean en sus equipos. Participaron 93 entrenadores y entrenadoras (varones 65%, n = 6 0 ; mujeres 35%, n = 3 3 ) de entre 19 y 65 años ( M = 3 2 , 5 ; DT = 10,4), quienes respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico, los cuestionarios de Sexismo Ambivalente (hacia la mujer y hacia el hombre) y el Cuestionario de Clima Motivacional Empowering y Disempowering creado por el Entrenador. Se realizaron comparaciones de grupo, análisis de conglomerados y correlaciones entre las variables estudiadas. Los resultados mostraron que no existe una diferencia significativa entre las actitudes sexistas en función del género. Sin embargo, al considerar la relación entre la autopercepción de las actitudes sexistas y el clima que crean en sus entrenamientos y competencias, se encontraron diferencias en función del género de los entrenadores. Las actitudes sexistas intentan mantener los roles de género tradicionales, con actitudes discriminatorias (hostiles) y con otras ocultas tras la protección (benevolentes). Estas actitudes se relacionan con climas motivacionales disempowering, que pueden ser obstaculizadores para el desarrollo positivo de los y las deportistas.
El problema del conocimiento en el estudio de la práctica educativa
Authors: Castorina José Antonio
Published: June 2021

Hay suficientes razones para justificar plenamente que los estudios sobre el conocimiento son relevantes para interpretar las prácticas educativas, aunque ello no es reconocido en buena parte de la investigación educativa actual, en nuestro medio. A este respecto, en primer lugar, se formula la pregunta acerca del significado del enfoque de las competencias, argumentando que deja de lado, justamente, la reconstrucción de los objetos de conocimientos durante el aprendizaje escolar. Luego, se discute la fuerte orientación, en muchos trabajos contemporáneos sobre la enseñanza, hacia estudiar la relación entre docentes y alumnos con total ausencia de los saberes que se transmiten en el aula. En tercer lugar, y centralmente, se enfoca la transferencia directa de los resultados de la investigación en diversas disciplinas, en ocasiones con una impronta prescriptiva, sobre los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Se muestra que dicha transferencia es particularmente significativa en el caso de la psicología del desarrollo y las neurociencias. Además, se sostiene que dicho aplicacionismo ha sido responsable del desconocimiento de la problemática del conocimiento en la investigación educativa actual. Finalmente, se argumenta en defensa de la recuperación de la problemática de los conocimientos en las prácticas educativas, proponiendo una reconfiguración de las unidades de análisis.

MOTIVASI BELAJAR PENDIDIKAN AGAMA ISLAM BAGI ANAK YATIM PIATU DALAM TINJAUAN SOSIAL
Authors: Rustina Rustina
Published: June 2021

In general, social conditions affect children's activities and motivation in studying. Related to the issue, the discussion in this paper sees that children are a gift from Allah SWT that is always expected by every appropriate guidance with social development both in society and in family. However, not everyone can look after their children properly according to what is ordered by Allah SWT through religious teachings. For various causes and reasons, parents do not pay attention to the religious education of their children. In the end, the negative impact will be strongly felt by parents, especially for the children themselves. In order to forming religious education in children in these conditions, the community involvement is needed as a social element. The main factors influencing learning motivation of orphans are the factor from within (internal) and from outside (external). But the most fundamental is child psychology which is something that is not separated from human life itself, so that these condition of social differences become the most influencing factor for the orphans and neglected children in doing their learning activities. Thus, the conclusion is that social conditions are something highly determines the learning motivation that can change the level of self-confidence for the orphans. Hence, the cooperation of the government and observers of society condition must keep on trying to provide the supports in the form of attention, affection, guidance and also try to develop abilities and shape characters of the children, which are not only their intellectual capability but also their moral through various forms of religious education.

Delivering knowledge is one of a teacher's qualities. It can be performed through teaching, learning, writing books, etc. Knowledge must be absorbed by people in a wider range to give a meaningful impact and to get the society affected by the benefits of it. Aside from implementing the knowledge, a person with knowledge (alim) is required to deliver it to people. The duties of an educator are to convey knowledge, verse, and hadith, instead of keeping it for himself. Keeping for oneself means not answering others’ difficulties or not sharing the book he reads. Teachers' love for students is shown by teaching them ethics and necessary things in life and the afterlife.  Islam cares about children and women and never differentiates them from the men. Islam motivates people who are tested with having daughters, but to be grateful and taking their education into account; their daughters will later be a barrier for them from entering into hell.

Children need education to increase their roles in society. Children education through formal, non-formal, and/or informal education is held to improve the quality of children's skills. Given the huge and importance of the process of parenting education, hence this study aims to determine the influence of parenting on children. Children are great blessings people must be grateful for, hence they deserve the best parenting by their parents. However, parents still treat their children differently. This discussion aims to identify various styles or methods of parenting and their impacts on children. This discussion consisted of four types of parenting proposed by Eisenburg et al. These parenting types are more specific and focused on children’s gender development than other parenting styles that are more general. The four types of parenting are channeling/shaping, direct introduction, differential treatment, and models. There are four types of parenting model according to some psychologists, which are authoritative parenting, neglectful parenting, permissive parenting, and democratic parenting. These four types have their own impacts. While some other opinions believe that authoritative parenting style has 6 (six) parenting styles, which are: Accept children's opinion, Ask about children's mistakes without accusing them, Give advice upon their mistakes, Give appreciation, Give presents, and Facilitate their hobbies.
What’s in a tweet? Twitter’s impact on public opinion and EU foreign affairs
Authors:   Predoctoral Fellow at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals (IBEI) and PhD Candidate at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF)., Schmitt Lewin
Published: June 2021

This paper uses text mining and sentiment analysis of Twitter posts to explore the EU’s diplomatic communication practices and to measure public opinion on foreign affairs. Building on an original dataset of almost one million tweets from the past five years, this analysis reveals differences in public perceptions of the EU’s relationship with China, India and Russia. Attitudes are most positive in the case of the EU–India relationship, followed by EU–China and EU–Russia. Furthermore, the paper examines hundreds of official EU Twitter accounts, specifically their communications on diplomatic relations with these countries. A main finding is that the EU talks about its diplomatic relations in more positive terms than the wider public, though this verbal politeness effect is less pronounced in the case of EU–Russia relations.

Globally, various sectors were adversely affected by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to determine the economic condition of bamboo craftsmen in Mandalagiri Village, Leuwisari District, Tasikmalaya Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. This is an in-depth research with data obtained by interviewing 35 bamboo craftsmen with various products and production scales. The results showed that craftsmen were not economically affected by the pandemic rather by the central government-stipulated regulation on social distancing, which led to their inability to transport their product from Tasikmalaya to Jakarta and other regions. However, since the government lifted the ban, their income has increased by an average of 2%. The result further showed that the main factor that keeps craftsmen from being negatively affected by the pandemic is the increasing online market demand supported by the availability of raw materials and the ability to adapt to various new model products. Other factors linked to the national market and products answer the demand of the modern market in the cities. Meanwhile, the main factors that positively affect the craftsmen's income are age and marital status.

The enzymes of the cytochrome P450 superfamily play a critical role in phase I drug metabolism. Among them, CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 are clinically important, as they can mediate severe toxicity, therapy failure, and increased susceptibility to cancer and other diseases caused by chemicals. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of pharmacologically most important allelic variants of the CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 genes in the general population of the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) and to compare them with other populations. For this purpose we determined the genotype profile and allele frequency of 216 randomly selected healthy volunteers using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The prevalence of the CYP2C9 *2 and *3 alleles was 13.6 and 7.4 %, respectively. Based on these frequencies, of the 216 participants four (1.86 %) were predicted to be poor metabolisers, 78 (36.11 %) intermediate, and the remaining 134 (62.03 %) normal metabolisers. Based on the prevalence of CYP2C19 *2 and *17 variants – 16.2 and 20.4 %, respectively – nine (4.17 %) were predicted to be poor, 57 (26.39 %) rapid, and nine (4.17 %) ultra-rapid metabolisers. We found no significant differences in allele frequencies in our population and populations from other European countries. These findings suggest that genetically determined phenotypes of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19 should be taken into consideration to minimise individual risk and improve benefits of drug therapy in the Republic of Srpska.
Drug-drug-gene interactions as mediators of adverse drug reactions to diclofenac and statins: a case report and literature review

Concomitant treatment with drugs that inhibit drug metabolising enzymes and/or transporters, such as commonly prescribed statins and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), has been associated with prolonged drug exposure and increased risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) due to drug-drug interactions. The risk is further increased in patients with chronic diseases/comorbidities who are more susceptible because of their genetic setup or external factors. In that light, we present a case of a 46-year-old woman who had been experiencing acute renal and hepatic injury and myalgia over two years of concomitant treatment with diclofenac, atorvastatin, simvastatin/fenofibrate, and several other drugs, including pantoprazole and furosemide. Our pharmacogenomic findings supported the suspicion that ADRs, most notably the multi-organ toxicity experienced by our patient, may be owed to drug-drug-gene interactions and increased bioavailability of the prescribed drugs due to slower detoxification capacity and decreased hepatic and renal elimination. We also discuss the importance of CYP polymorphisms in the biotransformation of endogenous substrates such as arachidonic acid and their modulating role in pathophysiological processes. Yet even though the risks of ADRs related to the above mentioned drugs are substantially evidenced in literature, pre-emptive pharmacogenetic analysis has not yet found its way into common clinical practice.

This paper analysis decision making, interest intermediation, and value in the realm of government, public and private cooperation under corporatism to enable young third-country immigrants’ transition to work in Austria, Finland and the Czech Republic. Based on document analysis, this paper concludes a centralized delegation of authority, interest intermediations, and public values administrative devices in corporatism governance with democratic deficit that steer young third-country immigrants transition to work. However, the Czech Republic is dissimilar to Austria and Finland with the focus on relationship and partnership cooperation pattern to build contacts, where as Finland and Austria prefer cooperation in the form of coordinating varying employment objectives. The outcome points to deliberate democracy in neoliberal market-oriented setting. This is relevance to bureaucratic accountability and performance monitoring, but imperative to operational risk that may not only impair vulnerable people's belongings, but jeopardize public value accountability, sustainable finance and democratic values.

Published: June 2021

The aim of this contribution is to quantify the influence of selected methods on elimination of value added tax gap in the Czech Republic within the researched period 2015–2016. To find a possible share of influence of the VAT control statement on tax fraud following priority methods were set: VAT control statement invitation, initiatives from pairing check reports, tax checking and procedures for doubt removal. By quantifying these methods, the values of theoretical benefits are measured and further compared with value added tax gap within the researched period. To set the VAT gap estimation a method was used that calculates via cleaning gross domestic product based on the database of national accounts. By using this approach it was found out that with the influence of selected methods of financial administration there was a tax gap decrease in 2015 by 5.54% and for 2016 by 4.00%.
The Role of Fiscal Decentralization in Municipal Budgets: Case of the Czech Republic
Authors: Andrlík Břetislav , Halamová Martina , Formanová Lucie
Published: June 2021

Immovable property tax is one of the key elements of fiscal decentralization in the Czech Republic. It is the only tax that is directed to municipal budgets in the full amount. It is also the only tax the total receipts of which can be influenced by municipalities by means of corrective features. Although the significance of immovable property tax in the process of fiscal decentralization is undeniable, its role in municipal budgets is much discussed. The goal of the article is to evaluate the role of immovable property tax in budgets of Czech municipalities through its impact on the resulting balance of financial management of a particular municipality. The role of immovable property tax is assessed against its importance for the municipal budget. The data concerning financial management of municipalities, the amount of receipts of immovable property tax and the possibilities of utilization of the local coefficient in the year 2019 are analyzed in detail. The results identified by the analysis are compared with the situation in 2012 and it may be stated that although the role of immovable property tax in municipal budgets has decreased if compared with the year 2012, it still represents a significant income of Czech municipalities. At the same time, the current economic situation suggests that the importance of immovable property tax will increase in the years to come.
A Product Match Adjusted R Squared Method for Defining Products with Transaction Data
Authors: Chessa Antonio G.
Published: June 2021

The occurrence of relaunches of consumer goods at the barcode (GTIN) level is a well-known phenomenon in transaction data of consumer purchases. GTINs of disappearing and reintroduced items have to be linked in order to capture possible price changes.

This article presents a method that groups GTINs into strata (‘products’) by balancing two measures: an explained variance (R squared) measure for the ‘homogeneity’ of GTINs within products, while the second expresses the degree to which products can be ‘matched’ over time with respect to a comparison period. The resulting product ‘match adjusted R squared’ (MARS) combines explained variance in product prices with product match over time, so that different stratification schemes can be ranked according to the combined measure.

MARS has been applied to a broad range of product types. Individual GTINs are suitable as products for food and beverages, but not for product types with higher rates of churn, such as clothing, pharmacy products and electronics. In these cases, products are defined as combinations of characteristics, so that GTINs with the same characteristics are grouped into the same product. Future research focuses on further developments of MARS, such as attribute selection when data sets contain large numbers of variables.

Published: June 2021

Stone columns (or granular piles, GPs) are progressively being utilized for ground improvement, mostly for pliant edifice such as road mounds, oil depot, and so forth. The present analysis is done by introducing strengthening at both the ends of GP, i.e., bottom and top end so that the bulging problem will be solved and the beneficiary effect of the bearing stratum can be utilized by the bottom strengthening feature. Analysis of a single partially strengthened, at both top and bottom, end-bearing GP is presented in this article in terms of displacement affecting component for the top (DACT) of GP, percentage load transferred to the base (PLTB) of strengthened GP, and normalized shear stress (NSS). The PLTB of the strengthened GP was found to increase considerably. The NSS was found to reduce at the top end of GP and is found to be redistributed along the length of GP.
Quality of life and health status in middle-aged presumed healthy Slovenian family practice attendees
Authors: Tement Matic , Selič-Zupančič Polona
Published: June 2021

Background

There is a gap in our knowledge of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in a population presumed healthy, so this study aimed to assess the associations between HRQoL, demographics and clinical variables.

Methods

The participants were attendees, presumed healthy, at 40 pre-selected model family medicine practices (MFMPs), aged between 30 and 65 years and recruited during a preventive check-up in 2019. Each MFMP pragmatically invited 30 attendees to voluntarily participate. The EQ-5D questionnaire was administered as a measure of HRQoL; the independent variables were demographic characteristics, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress perception, physical activity, signs of depression, cardiovascular risk, body mass index, blood pressure values, and blood sugar and lipidogram laboratory test values. Ordinal logistic regression was used to calculate associations between self-assessed quality of life, demographics, and clinical variables, with P<0.05 set as statistically significant.

Results

Of 986 participants, 640 (64.9%) were women and 346 (35.1%) men, aged 42.7±8.6 years. The average values for the EQ-5D-3L were 0.91±0.15. In the multivariate model, a positive association between adequate physical activity (p=0.003), and a negative association between higher age (p<0.001), female gender (p=0.009), signs of depression (p<0.001), stress (p=0.013), and EQ-5D score were identified.

Conclusion

Given that physical activity was shown to be positively associated with HRQoL, it is of the utmost importance for family physicians to motivate their middle-aged patients, especially women and those with signs of depression and excessive stress, to adopt a more rigorously physically active lifestyle.

INDICADORES ENERGÉTICOS NO SEGMENTO INDUSTRIAL: UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO PRELIMINAR PARA A DISCUSSÃO DOS ASPECTOS SOCIOAMBIENTAIS NO PARÁ
Authors: BORGES Fabricio Quadros
Published: June 2021

O objetivo deste artigo é o de apresentar uma contribuição preliminar para a discussão dos principais aspectos socioambientais a serem considerados na construção de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. A importância do estudo reside na possibilidade de levantamento de subsídios à tomada de decisão no ambiente público do segmento de energia. A metodologia possui natureza teórica e realiza uma visitação na literatura especializada, de modo a criar condições de exame dos meandros sociais e ambientais para a composição de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. Os aspectos sociais e ambientais, a partir de variáveis pertinentes à energia elétrica e ao desenvolvimento, foram mensurados por Borges (2007), por meio do coeficiente de Pearson. O estudo concluiu que a elaboração de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética para o setor industrial no Pará recomenda a observância do perfil de consumo energético das indústrias, que apresentou evoluções proporcionais quando associado à emissão de gases poluentes e atenção quanto ao perfil do saldo de empregos, que não indica estar associado diretamente ao comportamento dos investimentos em eletricidade no setor analisado.
 
ENERGY INDICATORS FOR THE INDUSTRY SECTOR: A PRELIMINARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION OF SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN PARÁ
 
ABSTRACT
The purpose of this article is to present a preliminary contribution to the discussion of the main socio-environmental aspects to be considered in the construction of energy sustainability indicators. The importance of the study lies in the possibility of raising subsidies for decision-making in the public environment of the energy sector. The methodology comprises theoretical nature and carries out a visit to the specialized literature, aiming at creating conditions for examining the social and environmental intricacies for the composition of energy sustainability indicators. The social and environmental aspects, based on relevant electricity and development variables, were measured by Borges (2007), using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The study concluded that the elaboration of energy sustainability indicators for the industrial sector in Pará suggests the observance of the energy consumption profile of the industries, which presented proportional evolution when associated with polluting gases emission, and attention to the impact on employment, which does not suggest being associated with the electricity investment behavior in the analyzed sector.

Collagen is widely used as a biomaterial in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, in the production of hydrogels, wound dressings, bioactive nano/microfibers, controlled drug delivery systems, etc. The collagen isolated from the aquatic source has a higher biological activity and low risk of transmitting genetic diseases. In recent years the sustainable socio-economic and environmental principles promote the full use of natural resources. Thus, fish collagen extracted from fish by-products (skin, scales, bones and fins) can be valorized as a new collagen alternative source. In this work the enzymatic hydrolysis with pepsin of collagen isolation from silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) tails fish has been investigated. We successfully isolated type I collagen with 90-95% purity as determined by FTIR, UV-Vis, EDX and SDS-PAGE analyses. The cytotoxicity of obtained collagen was evaluating by MTS assays.

Microporous calcium alginate gel beads were investigated as potential solutions to mass transfer limitations in immobilized cultures. The beads were prepared by gelling mixtures of sodium alginate and fillers (starch or granulated sugars) in calcium chloride solution. The resulting beads were cured in the same solution, during which the fillers leached out of the beads thereby creating micro-pores in the beads (microporous beads). The effectiveness of the microporous beads in improving amylase production by Aspergillus niger LC 269109 was investigated. Spores of A. niger were immobilized in the microporous beads and used for batch alpha amylase and gluco amylase production. Amylase production by the A. niger immobilized in the microporous beads were significantly higher (p<0.01) than the values obtained with the conventional calcium alginate gel beads. Under all the conditions investigated, gluco-amylase activities were significantly (p<0.01) higher than the alpha-amylase activities. Under the optimum conditions of inoculum concentration (1.0 × 105 spores/ml), pH (6), temperature (35°C), bead diameter (3 mm) and calcium chloride concentration (1.5%), the gluco-amylase and alpha amylase activities were 11.98 U/ml and 6.7 U/ml respectively, which were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the 7.8 U/ml and 3.2 U/ml obtained with the conventional gel beads.

The study was carried out on the aphid by using of Bio Catch, Verticillium lecanii, Bio Power, Beauveria bassiana and Bio Magic, Metarhizium anisopliae on A. craccivora. Laboratory experiments were done to measure the pathogenicity of three commercial compounds from entomopathogenic fungi, Bio Catch, V. lecanii, Bio Power, B. bassiana, and Bio Magic, M. anisopliae against adults and nymphs of A. craccivora. Three concentrations were used from all compounds, 107 , 108 and 109 spores/ml. at 22 ± 2°C and 75 ± 5 R.H. The concentration (109 spores/ml.) gave 100% mortality with V. lecanii and B. bassiana then M. anisopliae. The Lowest LC50 value of 2.1 x 106 spores/ml. was recorded by V. lecanii, which showed higher virulence compared to other entomopathogenic fungi. The LC50 values of V. lecanii, B. bassiana and M. anisopliae were 2.1 x 106 , 4.3 x 106 and 6.4 x 107 spores ml., respectively. At the highest concentration of 109 spores/ml., the Median LT50 values for V. lecanii, B. bassiana and M. anisopliae were 4.2, 5.2 and 7.0 days, respectively.

In spontaneous imbibition researches, surfactant has been employed to control interfacial tension (IFT) and wettability. In this paper, the evaluation of grain size effect on spontaneous imbibition of surfactant solution is presented. In this work, the synthetic porous media (sand packs) with uniform and non-uniform grain size from 30 mesh to 100 mesh were made. The porous media were initially saturated by oil. Then they were immersed in brine with salinity of 62 to 40,000 ppm for 24 hours. After that, the porous media were immersed in surfactant solution with concentration of 0.2% for another 24 hours. The total oil recovery during these treatments was measured. The experiment was separated into three parts in order to investigate the effect of uniform grains, non-uniform grains, and salinity in spontaneous imbibition. The results show that grain size and porosity were proportional to oil recovery. In the case of porous media with uniform grain size, the effect of grain size on recovery factor is stronger than that of porosity. Meanwhile the salinity has an the optimum condition for a maximum recovery factor. In this study, it happened at salinity of 20,000 ppm. Oil recovery factors observed in this study ranged from 66.7% to 91.1%.
