Gene-Edited Baby by Chinese Scientist: the Opener of the Pandora’s Box
Authors: Lee Jessica , Wang Fuzhou
Published: December 2018

Gene editing is not limited to human and animal systems only but also in plant technology for improved food production. Gene editing have also been applied in disease control, manufacture of drugs, and vector control. The concept of gene-editing could accelerate the field of gene therapy as a major source of scientific and biotechnology circles. Utilization of this technology may have a number of positive impacts and consequently negative impacts on human life and the environment. Gene editing technology also comes with unintended consequences which offset any positive effects. It can be time-consuming to characterize the basic parameters in the system. Chinese scientists claimed to have successfully produced the first ever gene edited babies. The central objective of the procedure was to protect the twins from contracting HIV virus. Gene editing can result in an alteration of genes other than those targeted by scientists. Moreover, safety concerns have been raised and the Chinese scientists championing for its implementation have been asked to stop for a while. The researchers and scientists should, therefore, focus on advancing the technology in order to prove it safe and ethical. It is equally important to appreciate and improve on what the technology can do.
Change in snow flood flow in the southern macro-slope of the Russian Plain in the period 1930-2014

Published: December 2018

In recent decades, in the southern macro-slope (catchment) of Te Russian Plain, mainly within the basins of the Volga and the Don rivers, the spring ﬂood ﬂow decreased due to both anthropogenic and climatic factors. Of anthropogenic factors, the creation of reservoirs played a signifcant role in changing the water regime of the Volga and the Don. Another important factor, aﬀecting the river runoﬀ, is agricultural activities on ﬂat interﬂuves and slopes. Compared with the conventional-natural period (for the Volga from 1879, and for the Don from 1876 to 1929) to the date (for the period 1930–2014), the ﬂood ﬂow of the Volga has been decreased by more than 4300 km3, and the Don – by almost 900 km3. Te contribution of anthropogenic factors to this decrease in the Volga basin exceeded 70%, and for the Don it was equal to 45%, while the climatic ones contributed 30 and 55%, respectively. During the period of instrumental observations on the rivers of the region, long-lasting phases of high/low water content with duration from 15–20 to 90 years or longer, caused by the climatic changes, were determined. Tese are a characteristic feature of long-term changes in ﬂood ﬂow (and in a runoﬀ of other seasons) on both medium and large rivers of the southern macro-slope of the Russian Plain. Te period since early 2000s was a start of the decreased ﬂood ﬂow everywhere, i.e. on medium and large rivers. It is most clearly (by tens of percent) manifested in the decrease of the spring surface ﬂow due to the following factors: more frequent thaws, reduction of the depth of soil freezing, increase of infltration, especially in the forest-steppe and steppe zones. Increase in ﬂow of the infltration origin does only partially compensate the decrease of the ﬂow in rivers.
Use of satellite data for detecting icebergs and evaluating the iceberg threats
Authors: Bychkova I. A. , Smirnov V. G.
Published: December 2018

Te methods of satellite monitoring of dangerous ice formations, namely icebergs in the Arctic seas, representing a threat to the safety of navigation and economic activity on the Arctic shelf are considered. Te main objective of the research is to develop methods for detecting icebergs using satellite radar data and high space resolution images in the visible spectral range. Te developed method of iceberg detection is based on statistical criteria for fnding gradient zones in the analysis of two-dimensional felds of satellite images. Te algorithms of the iceberg detection, the procedure of the false target identifcation, and determination the horizontal dimensions of the icebergs and their location are described. Examples of iceberg detection using satellite information with high space resolution obtained from Sentinel-1 and Landsat-8 satellites are given. To assess the iceberg threat, we propose to use a model of their drif, one of the input parameters of which is the size of the detected objects. Tree possible situations of observation of icebergs are identifed, namely, the «status» state of objects: icebergs on open water; icebergs in drifing ice; and icebergs in the fast ice. At the same time, in each of these situations, the iceberg can be grounded, that prevents its moving. Specifc features of the iceberg monitoring at various «status» states of them are considered. Te «status» state of the iceberg is also taken into account when assessing the degree of danger of the detected object. Te use of iceberg detection techniques based on satellite radar data and visible range images is illustrated by results of monitoring the coastal areas of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago. Te approaches proposed to detect icebergs from satellite data allow improving the quality and efciency of service for a wide number of users with ensuring the efciency and safety of Arctic navigation and activities on the Arctic shelf.

Authors: Negovan Anca , Iancu Mihaela , Tripon Florin , Crauciuc Andrei , Mocan Simona , Bănescu Claudia
Published: December 2018

Background & Aims: The increased oxidative stress plays an important role in gastro-duodenal ulcers and gastric cancer occurrence. We investigated the association between the genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding the antioxidative enzymes CAT, GPX and SOD and the occurrence of gastric lesions, considering also the environmental risk factors such as H. pylori infection, drug exposure, smoking and alcohol consumption.Methods: We included 373 patients who underwent endoscopy for symptoms, anemia or bleeding investigation. A complete set of demographical, clinical and pathological data was recorded. All patients were successfully genotyped.Results: In the multivariate logistic regression model, the patients having Pro/Pro genotype of GPX1 gene polymorphism had more severe gastric lesions as compared with patients with the Leu/Pro or Leu/Leu genotype (OR= 1.89, 95%CI: 0.99-3.57, p=0.051). The GPX1 Pro198Leu and the MnSOD Ala16Val gene polymorphism could be independent risk factors for reactive gastropathy changes, as shown by their association very close tostatistical significance (p=0.059 and p=0.054, respectively). Consumption of anticoagulants was a significant independent predictor (p=0.023, OR:0.43 95%CI:0.21-0.89) for the absence of active gastritis, while low-dose aspirin consumption was a risk factor for active gastritis in biopsy samples (p=0.025, OR:1.71, 95%CI:1.07-2.74).Conclusion: The variant genotype of GPX1Pro198Leu was associated with an increased risk for reactive gastropathy changes in gastric biopsies and with less severe endoscopic lesions, while MnSODAla16Val variant genotype (Val/Val or Val/Ala) seems to be related to the reactive gastropathy. However, none of them were associated with inflammatory or premalignant gastric lesions.

Published: December 2018

Background & Aim: Patient-reported outcomes and experiences are indicative of the impact and the quality of care. Thioguanine, a generic drug initially developed for leukemia, has been explored and relicensed as a certified treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). The patients‘ perception of this treatment has not been evaluated before. In this study, we aimed to assess self-reported experiences with thioguanine for IBD.Methods: Questionnaires were sent out to members of the Dutch National Crohn‘s and Colitis patient organization. The Treatment Satisfaction with Medicines Questionnaire (SATMED-Q) was used to address questions regarding the satisfaction and impact of thioguanine therapy on the disease and their daily life. Furthermore, data on demographics, disease and (historical) treatment characteristics were collected. Openended questions were used for additional comments to the questionnaire.Results: A total of 173 organization members (73% female) reported to be previous or current users of thioguanine. A total of 74% were satisfied with the effectiveness of thioguanine, whereas 5% were not. Eighty percent of the respondents were satisfied with the quality of care. A good or excellent impact on daily life was reported by 54%. A neutral or bad impact on daily life was reported by 40% and 6%, respectively. Improvement of disease activity was reported by 58%. This remained stable or worsened in 39% and 3%, respectively.Conclusion: In this self-report survey, among thioguanine treated patients with IBD who had failed with traditional therapies, 80% reported satisfaction with medical care and 74% with the effectiveness of the therapy. In the evaluation of new or rediscovered therapies, patient-reported outcomes and experiences should be considered as a key instrument.
KRITIK HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP PENDAPAT IMAM AL-SYÂFI‘Î DAN IBNU HAZM TENTANG NAFKAH BAGI ISTRI NUSYUZ
Authors: Sholihah Ummi Mar’atus
Published: December 2018

Nafkah is one of the important things in the household. Therefore, the rules relating to nafkah is needed to be studied. However, there is a different opinion among the jurists on the issue of the nafkah, such as a matter of nafkah for wives who nushuz. Imams Al-Syâfi‘î, one of the leading jurists and one of the imams mazhab argued that a wife who nushuz could abort a right to get nafkah, unless she returned from her nushuz (disobedience). This perspective is different with the opinion of Ibn Hazm which he stated that providing nafkah for wife who nushuz is allowed. He was due to diffe­rences methodology and basic laws that are based on the determining of the jurisdictions and laws through both their opinion about nafkah for nushuz’s wife.

Authors: Komari Komari
Published: December 2018

This paper explains about the application of inheritance law in Indonesia which is strongly influenced by three law systems such as Islamic law, customary law, and Western law. At the beginning of Islam in Indonesia, Islamic law is very dominant in the implementation of Islamic inheritance law which is intergrated with culture and tradition among Muslim society. In Colonial period, the government of Dutch East Hindia started to establish Western law for European and East Asian people. But for the Muslim citizens in Indonesia was implement­ting the combination of Islamic law and customary law. In the independence period, the political of law has been changed through unification and codification of Islamic law into the Indonesia rules formally, including in the application of Islamic inheritance law. As long as this policy, Islamic inheritance law in Indonesia has a characteristic of the combination between Islamic law and customary law.

Authors: Gandara Agus
Published: December 2018

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh UNICEF (2006) di beberapa daerah di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa sekitar 80% kekerasan yang terjadi pada siswa dilakukan oleh guru, padahal guru sebagai orang tua kedua para siswa di sekolah sepatutnya menjadi seseorang yang mampu menciptakan suasana yang nyaman di lingkungan sekolah sebagai tempat yang selama ini dipercaya paling aman dan terbaik untuk anak. Hasil  penelitian menunjukan bahwa Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2016 Tentang perlindungan Anak secara tegas menyatakan bahwa anak di dalam dan di lingkungan sekolah wajib dilindungi dari tindakan kekerasan yang dilakukan oleh guru, pengelola sekolah atau teman-temannya di dalam sekolah yang bersangkutan, atau lembaga pendidikan lainnya. Undang-Undang tersebutmenyatakan setiap orang yang melakukan kekejaman, kekerasan atau ancaman kekerasan, atau penganiayaan terhadap anak, dipidana dengan pidana penjara dan/atau denda. Demikian pula pemberian sanksi yang dilakukan pendidik terhadap peserta didik di lingkungan pendidikan termasuk kategori tindak kekerasan jika pemberian sanksi tersebut melukai dan atau mencederai anak dan tidak semata-mata fisik, tetapi juga mental dan sosial namun demikian dalam  peraturan pemerintah nomor 19 tahun 2017 tentang guru, memberikan kewenangan kepada guru untuk memberikan sanksi kepada siswa yang dianggap melanggar peraturan sekolah. Kata Kunci : Guru, Siswa dan Perlindungan Anak Abstract Based on a survey conducted by UNICEF in 2006 in several regions in Indonesia, found that 80% violence that happened toward students were done by their teachers, where the teacher should be act as students’ second parents at school, who should provide and create a comfortable and secure place for the children. The results showed that the law number 17 Year 2016 on child protection explicitly states that children at school environment must be protected from any acts of violence committed by teachers, school administrators, friends at school, and other educational institution.The constitution states any person who commits cruelty, violence or threats of violence, or child abuse, punished by imprisonment or  fines. Similarly if there are sanctions given by educators on learners in an educational environment will be included as category of violence if the sanctions hurt or injure the child not merely physical but also mental and social, but  the goverment regulations number 19 of 2017 concerning  teacher, provinding authority to teacher to sanction students who are considered violating school regulations. Keyword: Teacher, Students and Child Protection

A água potável corresponde a toda água disponível na natureza e que não oferece riscos para os seres vivos que a consomem. A ausência da presença de bactérias do grupo coliforme é um dos principais parâmetros estabelecidos na legislação que garante potabilidade. Desta forma, monitorar a qualidade da água dentro do ambiente escolar, local em que os estudantes passam grande parte do seu tempo, torna-se necessário para garantir que os mesmos tenham acesso a água de qualidade. Diante deste contexto, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a qualidade bacteriológica de amostras de água de escolas públicas do município de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso. Foram realizadas duas coletadas de amostras em 14 escolas e o método utilizado para detecção de coliformes totais e Escherichia coli foi o uso do Kit “Colitag™”. Os resultados revelaram que não houve amostras positivas para E. coli, no entanto, 21.4% das amostras apresentaram confirmação da presença de coliformes totais, não atendendo os parâmetros exigidos pela portaria n° 2.914/2011 do Ministério da Saúde. Vale ressaltar que a contaminação por bactérias do grupo coliformes totais é fator preocupante, uma vez que estas podem indicar a existência de micro-organismos patogênicos na água. Entre as escolas avaliadas, uma escola (E2) apresentou coliformes totais nas duas coletas. Os resultados deixam evidente que em algumas escolas, há necessidade de maior vigilância da qualidade da água e identificação dos fatores locais que podem estar ligados a contaminação encontrada.

Paradigma Dakwah Islam Fethullah Gulen di Abad Kontemporer
Authors: Khamami Akhmad Rizqon
Published: December 2018

This article seeks to examine Fethullah Gulen’s da‘wah activities by which he integrates his movement into the globalized world. Despite the fact that Turkish Coup in 2016 tarnished Gulen and his movement, and scholars come to question Gulen’s intentions, Gulen’s activities are to be explored so as for Islamic movements somewhere else to emulate his success in da‘wah. This article offers a perspective using the da‘wah approach. Question under discussion in this article is as to which steps of da‘wah lead Gulen movement to be a respected Islamic movement prior to the 2016. Gulen managed to widen the da‘wah from merely conventional da‘wah such a that of preaching into educations, dialogues, and economic. It is indeed Gulen’s emotional preaching that fascinates listeners and drives them voluntarily to engage in his activities of da‘wah and to give hand to his missionary works which include building schools, TV stations, radios, hospitals, and banks. Gulen’s da‘wah in economic goes in line with his effort to broaden his influence on international level which in turn leads the movement integrated into the global economy. It is interfaith dialogue and pluralism that bring Gulen into integrating Islam with cosmopolitanism in the globalized world. Muslims no longer belong solely to ummah, but they are citizen of the globalized world.

No atual cenário competitivo, organizações têm recorrido às técnicas capazes de aumentar suas capacidades produtivas e manter o nível de competitividade que garanta suas sobrevivências. Uma dessas técnicas é conhecida como melhoria contínua. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever como um grupo de melhoria contínua (círculo de controle da qualidade), um dos pilares do sistema integrado de gestão de uma empresa siderúrgica, pode reduzir o tempo para realizar análises químicas de amostras pelo laboratório químico na qual o projeto foi realizado. Através de ações de melhoria para mitigar as causas priorizadas pelo grupo de melhoria contínua, constatou-se a redução de 27%, entre 2014 e 2015, da quantidade de análises de amostras não atendidas dentro do tempo máximo aceitável de 4,5 minutos. No período em que todas as ações de melhoria para as causas priorizadas já tinham sido implantadas, houve redução do tempo de análises para 4,26 minutos, abaixo da meta de 4,5 minutos. As melhores práticas foram padronizadas através da revisão de padrão técnico visando manter o tempo de atendimento de análises abaixo da meta (4,5 minutos) nos anos posteriores. Segundo cálculos realizados por engenheiros, a empresa deixou de perder o valor anual de R$ 2,2 M com a conclusão do projeto.

O panorama epidemiológico geral da raiva humana no Brasil com foco principal na região sul do país nos últimos anos
Authors: Gonçalves Nathalia Santos , Soares Paula Stifft , Santos Daniela Copetti
Published: December 2018

Justificativa e objetivos: A Raiva é uma antropozoonose transmitida ao homem pela inoculação do vírus presente na saliva e nas secreções do animal infectado. Apresenta letalidade de aproximadamente 100% e alto custo na assistência preventiva. As pessoas expostas correm o risco de adoecer e morrer sendo considerada um problema de saúde pública. Objetivo do estudo avaliar os dados epidemiológicos dos casos de raiva canina, felina, por animais hematófagos, insetívoros e a raiva humana em um panorama atual no Brasil, tendo como foco principal a região sul do país. Métodos: Estudo de caráter exploratório, descritivo, transversal, com dados obtidos através de sites e protocolos administrados pelo Ministério da Saúde, referente aos últimos casos confirmados de raiva. Resultados: Através desse estudo foi possível verificar que o Brasil mesmo tendo diminuído consideravelmente a raiva em determinadas regiões, ela volta a aparecer, na região sul. Embora tenhamos casos de raiva em animais em seres humanos não foi observado nenhum caso na região sul, enquanto na região Norte e Nordeste foram observados três casos, o que vem trazendo dessa forma grande preocupação ao Ministério da Saúde e também aos setores de vigilância em saúde. Conclusão: O reaparecimento dos casos de raiva no Brasil mostrados aqui nesse estudo intensificam a grande necessidade de notificações compulsórias. O aparecimento desses novos casos após dezenas de anos sem casos confirmados pode estar associado à necessidade de ações voltadas para o controle desse agravo.
Design and performance evaluation of wood-burning cookstoves for low-income households in South Africa
Authors: Makonese Tafadzwa , Bradnum Christopher
Published: December 2018

Many cookstove programmes implemented around the world aimed to reduce fuel consumption and pollutant emissions through the dissemination and adoption of improved cookstoves. A study was carried out for the design of wood-burning cookstoves for low-income households in South Africa by employing user-centred design and co-design/co-creation approaches. Six designed variants of the biomass stove were constructed. Water-heating and emissions tests, using black wattle wood, were conducted to evaluate them for thermal and emissions performance. The large hopper stove with two secondary air inlets ranked highest, with best performance regarding thermal and emissions parameters. It outperformed the small hopper stove in time to boil, heat flux and firepower, although the latter had higher thermal efficiency values. Fuel consumption rates were high in large hopper stoves compared with small hopper stoves, resulting in increased firepower. The experimental work showed the need for iterative designing and testing of cookstoves for emissions and thermal performance to identify efficient and less polluting candidate stoves for dissemination in low-income communities.
Developing a small photovoltaic power supply system with adaptive technologies for rural Africa: Design, cost and efficiency analyses
Authors: Mvili-Gampio Steve , Snyman Lukas W.
Published: December 2018

The objective of this study was to design a small-scale photovoltaic system to support electricity supply to a rural village in the Republic of Congo. A simple impedance-matching system and an innovative panel-tilting system were implemented as adaptive technologies to increase the power output of the system and reduce its capital and running costs. The experimentally obtained results showed that the daily energy output of a four-panel, 400 W photovoltaic system could be increased by 15% through a series parallel impedance match configuration, and by 36% from 3.3 kWh per day to approximately 4.5 kWh per day through implementing an automated panel tilting system with always normal incidence of solar irradiation on the panels in an equatorial environment. Implementing these technologies accordingly reduced the cost of energy supplied by the same percentages, with an eventual electricity cost of about ZAR 3.60 per kWhr, as calculated over an operation time of ten years, and an initial capital outlay of ZAR 37 per watt. These costs are much lower than for installing power grid lines to the village, and the technology also ensures complete autonomy of power supply to the community. The study also identified the potential to generate many new business and job opportunities locally in this community, as well as in the rest of Africa.

La utilització del folklore i la literatura popular per configurar l’ordre simbòlic de la mare i una escriptura femenina en la poesia de Maria Mercè Marçal
Authors: Palau Vergés Montserrat
Published: December 2018

Ja des dels inicis de la seva trajectòria literària, el 1977, una de les característiques destacades de la poesia de Maria Mercè Marçal (1952-1998) és la utilització de formes i motius del folklore i de la literatura popular. Aquest article analitza aquest ús, molt marcat en els primers llibres i també present en els posteriors, i explica com la literatura popular li servirà a l’autora per crear un món simbòlic de l’ordre de la mare, en contrast amb l’ordre patriarcal dominant també en la cultura i literatura. I, a més, per investigar i trobar la seva pròpia «escriptura femenina», d’acord amb les teories de les escoles feministes italianes i franceses dels anys setanta del segle XX.

Aquest número de la revista, dedicat a «Dones i folklore», pretén reivindicar el paper que han tingut (i tenen) les dones en la història del folklore. Els set articles que en formen part presenten el paper actiu desenvolupat per les dones com a estudioses i transmissores de la literatura popular així com el seu rol com a personatges. L’objectiu no és altre que donar a conèixer, des de l’àmbit acadèmic, la seva importància.
Les dones i la recopilació del Cançoner popular de Mallorca, del P. Rafel Ginard i Bauçà
Authors: Rosselló Bover Pere
Published: December 2018

Aquest treball pretén estudiar quin va ser el paper de les dones en la conservació del cançoner popular mallorquí i en la recol·lecció que el P. Rafel Ginard Bauçà va dur a terme i que va donar lloc als quatre volums del Cançoner popular de Mallorca, publicats entre 1966 i 1975. Alhora hi estudiam també les opinions de Ginard envers la marginació de la dona i també sobre l’antifeminisme que observa en moltes de les poesies populars.

«La princesa i el pèsol» (ATU 704): de les reescriptures escolars a la construcció identitària
Authors: Bataller Català Alexandre
Published: December 2018

A partir del conte d’Andersen «La princesa i el pèsol», s’aborden qüestions que afecten el sentit i difusió d’un text que forma part del cànon de contes clàssics, objecte de pràctiques discursives diverses. En primer lloc, la interpretació de la sensibilitat extrema de la seua protagonista i la reflexió sobre el possible missatge misògin del relat. En aquest sentit, es tracta la reescriptura dels contes de fades proposada per la crítica feminista i l’aparició de nous contes metaficcionals que dialoguen intertextualment amb els clàssics. S’hi aborda la presència i l’ús actual de la figura dels contes de princeses en l’àmbit escolar. En el context de la «glocalització», que dona visibilitat a les cultures locals, es tracta el tipus folklòric ATU 704 i el seu reflex en textos de la rondallística catalana, com és el cas de les «Tres al·lotes fines». Es mostra l’ús d’un relat folklòric com a element de la memòria col·lectiva, capaç de representar la identitat i memòria d’una col·lectivitat. La «Delicada de Gandia», l’heroïna llegendària valenciana de la hipersensibilitat, ha passat de caracteritzar una qualitat negativa a ser un símbol d’identitat local reivindicat per diverses vies.

SPATIO-TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF WIND SPEED AND DAILY MAXIMUM WIND SPEED IN MOROCCO FOR THE PERIOD 2020-2050
Authors: Khokhlov V. , El Hadri Y.
Published: December 2018

The Moroccan energy system is highly dependent on external energy markets. Therefore, the current renewable energy strategy is focused on deployment of large-scale renewable technologies projects. Morocco has abundant wind resources. Estimations made by development organizations in Morocco quantify that the economic and technical potential of wind energy in Morocco amount to 26 GW. The aim of this study is to determine the possible quantitative indicators of wind speed, the daily maximum wind speed and their space-time distribution in the period 2020-2050 on the territory of Morocco. In study used data from regional climate modelling with a high spatial resolution of the project CORDEX. Simulations of regional climate models provide opportunities for a better understanding of atmospheric processes in the region and their possible future change. In the study use of regional climate models simulations for the RCP 4.5 scenario for the Africa region, presented in a rectangular coordinate system with a spatial resolution of ≈ 44 km. As a result of the regional climate models calculation, the mean monthly Near-Surface Wind Speed, and Daily Maximum Near-Surface Wind Speed values for the period 2020-2050 for the territory of Morocco were obtained. Regional climate models simulations showed that in Morocco will be dominated by gentle and moderate winds. The smallest values of the average wind speed are predicted in Fez − Meknes and Beni-Mellal − Henifra regions and will be about 3 m/s, the highest values can reach 9 m/s on the Atlantic coast to the south of Dakhla village. An analysis showed that in the future a character of annual course, in general, will have two types: in central mountain regions of Atlas, in the northeastern part of country and on the Mediterranean coast maximum wind speed will be register in winter; summer seasonal maximum of wind speed will be typical on the flat areas of the Atlantic coast, in the southern part of the country and on areas located behind the ridges of the Atlas mountains on the border with Algeria. The most favorable for the development of wind energy will be areas located on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and in the southern part of Morocco.
THE MODEL OF THE ECOLOGICAL LANDSCAPE SCIENCE RESEARCH OF THE REGIONAL SYSTEM OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT OF ZAPORIZHZHYA REGION
Authors: Chebanova Y. , Lysenko V.
Published: December 2018

Abstract: Steppe landscapes, which are within Ukraine, over the last few centuries has undergone significant negative changes due to the unreasonable use of soil resources (excessive ploughing), soil salinity under irrigation in agriculture and other forms of anthropogenic impact. The territory of modern Zaporizhzhya region, which belongs to steppe landscapes, as a result of human activities is also dramatically changed. For the further organization of the rational environmental management, first of all, it is necessary to provide scientific-based recommendations for the reduction of anthropogenic human impact on the landscapes of the region. Nowadays, this is a topical and very important issue, but without a perfect research algorithm, the solution of the question is impossible. The main methods of studying the anthropogenic impact and the state of regional nature management have been considered in the article. On the basis of existing methods and rules the four main stages of the study have been identified and the algorithm that reflects the sequence and conditionality of the procedure for anthropogenic impact on the landscapes of Zaporizhzhya region has been developed. At the first stage, collection and systematization of the available information with a corresponding set of actions, including field studies, took place. At the second stage, the theoretical and methodological base of the research was formulated – from the generalization of theoretical foundations of the research, the definition of the object and subject, the analysis of the current state of the study of the issue to the development of its own solution of the scientific issue. The third stage envisaged the study of the structure features and functioning of the landscapes of Zaporizhzhya region – from the analysis of natural and anthropogenic factors of the formation of modern landscape structure, the specific features of natural conditions and resources, the anthropogenization processes to the analysis of the actual structure and peculiarities of natural and anthropogenic landscapes functioning. At the fourth stage, the current state of regional environmental management of Zaporizhzhya region has been analyzed, the features of the manifestation of unfavourable natural means, as well as the analysis of the dependence of their manifestation on the level of anthropogenic transformation, have been revealed. The author’s suggestions as to the organization of rational environmental management in the region and the basis of the management system of the landscape have been formulated through the procedure of accurate accomplishment of its stages such as planning, design, implementation and control.

Does retirement affect alcohol expenditure? Evidence from urban Chinese older adults in 2002-2009
Authors: Zou Hong , Luan Bingjiang , Yu Kaizhi , Xu Hongwei
Published: December 2018

Exploiting China’s mandatory retirement policy, we used fuzzy regression discontinuity design to estimate the effect of retirement on household alcohol expenditure among urban Chinese older adults ages 50–70. Drawing on data from the Urban Household Survey of China Statistics Bureau for the period of 2002–2009, we found that having a retired male household head significantly reduced total household expenditure on alcohol by 32%. After breaking down by different types of alcohol, we found that the retirement effect was largely driven by expenditure on liquor. We explored two potential mechanisms that may explain the retirement effect. The first mechanism relates to decreased disposable income after retirement and the second mechanism involves reduced demand of social drinking after retirement. Our findings suggest that the urban Chinese older adults experience substantial change in such health behavior as drinking as they retire. This has important public policy implications as China is facing a severe challenge of rapid population aging.

Background: With advancements of perinatal, neonatal care congenital defects were the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in developed world. It is one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality in India. Its incidence also influenced by many preventable risk factors. Hence, we are carried out this study to know the changing pattern of congenital anomalies and to know the effect of environmental risk factors on congenital anomalies.Methods: Prospective observational study conducted at Niloufer hospital Hyderabad during period from November 2017 to 2018. We included intramural and extramural babies. Analysed data by appropriate statistical methods.Results: Most common system involved was Central nervous system (CNS) with 25 cases out of 112 cases followed by Gastrointestinal system (GIT)and Cardiovascular system (CVS). Meningomyelocele, anorectal malformations and acyanotic heart diseases were most common type of congenital anomalies. Thirty seven to forty weeks gestational age group babies were most commonly have congenital anomalies than other gestational age group babies. Low birth weight babies had higher percentage of congenital anomalies (2.64%). Congenital anomalies were more in the male sex (2.53%) as compared to female babies (1.73%). Maternal obesity, consanguineous marriage and previous family history of congenital anomalies associated with increased risk of congenital anomalies with significant p values.Conclusions: Incidence of congenital anomalies was 2.15%. Most of congenital anomalies were involved in CNS. Birth weight, Gestational age, Male sex, consanguineous marriage, maternal Obesity and previous family history of congenital anomalies were significantly associated with increased risk of congenital anomalies.
