The edible coating is biodegradable and sustainable packaging has come into attention since the past few decades as an effort to reduce packaging waste. On a landmark fruit, the edible application layer is used to reduce the occurrence of loss of moisture, improve appearance, acts as a barrier to the exchange of gases, as well as having functions as an antifungal and antimicrobial. In addition to extending shelf life can be eaten these many layers are used such as it does not endanger human health, can be eaten as well as easy to untangle nature.  One of the natural ingredients that can be used such as a layer of edible is Aloe Vera. From the results obtained that the weight without warming treatment gel stored at cool temperatures is relatively constant, while to gel without or with the treatment of warming that is stored at room temperature a little decline. The reduction drastic invisible on the gel with the saved warming treatment in cold temperatures. Aloe gel good shaped pieces that are stored at room temperature has decreased the weight but that is stored on the cold temperatures are relatively stable. The aloe vera gel with warming and stored at cool temperatures until day 5 relatively stable, as seen from the variable weight shrinkage, color, pH, viscosity, and moisture content. While the gel is stored at room temperature decrease began day 2. Aloe Vera gel should be stored at cool temperatures with a sealed container. The best characteristics of Aloe Vera gel that treatment with sorbitol can extend the shelf life strawberry fruit. edible coating base on Aloe gel can be applied at post-harvest handling fruits.

Published: July 2020

Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) disease is one of the major causes of failure in grouper aquaculture activities. The pathogens attack the central nervous system, eyes retina, and reproductive organs. When the rainy season starts, it may generate lower water quality for aquaculture, which becomes a suitable condition for VNN infections in fry cantang grouper. For this reason, there is an emerged need to do the detection of the existence of Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) pathogen fry cantang grouper cultured at the rain season. Data analysis was carried out in descriptive ways that aim to make data are presented by the actual situation without giving any treatment so that it can be easily discussed with existing theory to conclude. The examination on the presence of Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) disease on fry cantang grouper lived at rain season was conducted using two methods which are conventional PCR and Real-time PCR. From 20 samples of fry cantang grouper taken for this study, 5 samples were detected positive Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) its equal to the prevalence of 25%. Histopathological observation on fry cantang grouper infected Viral Nervous Necrosis (VNN) show the appearance of vacuoles on ganglion cell layer, inner nuclear layer, and pigment epitel, a sign of lysis on the liver, vacuoles on the brain, necrosa, and hypertrophy on the brain, and the appearances of melano macrophage center on the kidney. The average water quality in the pond was reported at the temperature of 29.2 0C, salinity 33 ppt, and pH 8.3

Structure Changing in Maize-Based Agriculture Production in Vietnam: Case Study in Son La Province
Authors: Dang Thi Thanh Thuy  , Nguyen Van Hieu
Published: July 2020

Maize is the primary food resource for livestock, mainly cultivated in the northern mountains, the central provinces, and the central highlands in Vietnam. By studying reliable reports and policies related to maize-based agricultural production in combination with interviews and focus group discussion methods conducted in Son La province, this study specifically analyzes the situation of maize production in Vietnam and impacts of policies for the specific case in Son La province. The research results show that, though the sharp decrease, maize has still been the main crop with an annual cultivation area of ​​over 30% of the country's agricultural land recently. However, maize is only modestly mentioned in some central policies, and no policy at the local level is reserved for maize production. In addition, maize is no longer a crop to attract local farmers’ and authority’ interest, especially since 2015, the transition in maize cultivation area on sloping land to arable land of fruit trees and many other crops has been carried out on a large scale due to some policies by the province, resulting in a sharp decrease in maize cultivated area and production. This might lead to limited results of substantial government policies on maize acreage expansion, maize cultivated area planning, or maize development strategy. Accordingly, some recommendations to improve the situation are provided.

Littoral monitoring using unmanned aerial vehicle
Authors: Tsvetkov V.Ya. , Oznamets V.V.
Published: July 2020

The authors explore the littoral as a natural phenomenon using geodetic methods. Littoral is an areal object and is closely related to coastal abrasion. The abrasion destroys the coastal zone. Preventing the destruction of the coastal zone requires monitoring the littoral, forming its model and that of littoral dynamics. Littoral and dynamo models enable developing recommendations for protecting the coastal zone. Having remote sensing data only we are unable to perform littoral monitoring efficiently. It does not ensure the accuracy and relevance of the state of the coastal zone. The monitoring task can only be solved with the use of integrated geodetic support.This support includes geodetic work and the use of an unmanned aerial vehicle for monitoring the littoral. The authors explore littoral as a natural phenomenon. A new method of obtaining spatial coordinates using images obtained from UAVs is described. The essence of the methodology is determining spatial coordinates using single images. The technology includes the use of water level sensors to define the exact height of the survey. The methodology involves the use of satellite navigation equipment to determine the coordinates of the camera at the time of shooting. Special here is that the littoral boundary is a fuzzy object calculated on the basis of statistical data. The research shows that the geodetic technologies are the basis of the integrated one. The authors providethe analysis of the situation and suggest measures for monitoring the coastline.
Blurring correction in the electro-optical scanning systems on board a spacecraft
Authors: Andronov V.G. , Volobuev Yu.N. , Chuev А.А.
Published: July 2020

The authors analyze the existing ways of blurring elimination. It determines the technique and problem solving procedure of blurring correction in electro-optical scanning systems on board a spacecraft. The proposed technique is implemented at the initial stages of the survey and is based on the optimization of CCD matrix sampling rate according to the maximum of parameters dispersion of brightness image fields. In contrast to the known approaches, brightness differences of adjacent lines of survey route are values to be measured. The results of testing the technique on conditional frames of lines with different degrees of blurring obtained by distorting the signals of a real space image are presented. The authors’ new approach based on the established functional relationship between the level of blurring, survey parameters and errors of their determination was applied for the blurring simulation. The obtained results prove the possibility of reducing the initial blurring of images being formed on board a spacecraft to the magnitude of tenths of a pixel.
Comparative analysis of ML and MAP detectors for PAM constellations in AWGN channel
Authors: Vlajkov Slobodan , Jovanovic Aleksandra , Peric Zoran
Published: July 2020

In this paper we perform a comparative performances analysis of ?maximum a
posteriori? (MAP) and ?maximum likelihood? (ML) detectors for
one-dimensional constellation in the adaptive white Gaussian noise (AWGN)
channel. More precisely, error probabilities per symbol for the
aforementioned detectors are compared for the case when the pulse amplitude
modulation (PAM) constellation with the equidistant and non-equiprobable
constellation points is used as one-dimensional constellation. We perform
analysis for different distributions of the constellation point
probabilities and different values of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The
analysis indicates which detector can be adequate choice for the certain
distribution of constellation point probabilities and the SNR. Besides this,
for the straightforward performance assessment of the MAP detector we derive
a formula for the symbol error probability. Our analysis also points out
that the nonuniform distribution of the constellation points probabilities
does not necessarily improve the symbol error probability. With the aim to
decrease the symbol error probability we propose a method for defining
constellation point probabilities. The presented results show that PAM
constellation designed by utilizing the method we propose significantly
outperforms the conventional PAM constellation in terms to the symbol error
probability.
A novel method for the codecs’ performance analysis in mobile telephony systems
Authors: Lebl Aleksandar , Mitic Dragan , Matic Vladimir , Mileusnic Mladen , Markov Zarko
Published: July 2020

This paper presents a novel method of expressing the quality of service in a
mobile telecommunication system when its performance depends on several
factors including applied codecs? characteristics (voice quality and data
flow rate) and telecommunications traffic service possibilities. The
influence of these factors is unified in one variable - quality of service
measure. The proposed method is especially applicable in the cases when
two-dimensional systems are analyzed - for example when two codecs with
different flow rate and different achievable connection quality are used in
a system. As an example, we also studied system with full-rate or mixed
full-rate and half-rate codec implementation depending on the offered
traffic. The system performances - mean dataflow and mean connection quality
as a function of offered traffic are presented graphically and also
expressed quantitatively by the novel quality of service measure. The
systems with different number of available traffic channels may be compared
on the base of this novel evaluation value such that the system with the
highest value is the most suitable one for the concrete situation. In this
way mobile system design is simplified to the great extent. The developed
model is applicable generally for mobile telephony systems defining, but in
this paper we studied its implementation for Global System for Mobile
communications.

Forest truck road construction in the Republic of Srpska: The volume of works and average prices
Authors: Drazic Srdjan , Lucic Radovan , Danilovic Milorad , Stojnic Dusan
Published: July 2020

In most cases, the planning of funding for the construction of a forest truck
road causes difficulty to planners. Although a forest management plan (FMP)
indicates the number of roads to be built annually for the next development
period with the average cost of construction, this information is quite
general and based on experiential estimates. The aim of this paper is to
determine the average cost of forest truck road construction in the Republic
of Srpska, as well as to calculate the average costs of individual phases of
operation. The obtained average cost of forest road construction, resulting
from the analysis of 71 major projects in 11 forest areas encompassing 178
km of forest roads, is 32,490.87 ?/km. The obtained results point to the
interesting fact that forest road construction is the most expensive in hilly
areas with an altitude ranging between 200 and 500 m (34,298.28 ?/km), while
it is the cheapest (30,922.88 ?/km) in medium mountainous areas, with
altitudes between 1000 and 2000 m.

Published: July 2020

Lawsonia inermis is an important industrial and medicinal plant, cultivated
mostly for dye production which is used in cosmetic industry. The objective
of this study was establishing an efficient in vitro propagation system in
order to obtain plants that will be acclimatized and grown hydroponically.
The effect of different media on in vitro rooting were examined, followed by
growing obtained microplants in a hydroponic culture, in a half-strength
modified Hoagland nutrient solution. The highest rooting rate (79.2%) was
recorded on the half-strength MS media containing 0.50 mg.L-1 IBA, with a
high average number of roots (7.4). Those microplants acclimatized well in a
hydroponic culture, where very rapid growth was recorded, and well developed
roots and shoots were formed. After transplanting plants from hydroponic to
soil, the survival rate was 100%. This is the first study reporting an
acclimatization procedure in a hydroponic for the henna plant.

Recent trends in employees’ earnings inequality in Portugal: A quantitative analysis between 1986 and 2017
Authors: Simões Marta , Duarte Adelaide , Andrade João
Published: July 2020

This paper examines employees? earnings inequality in Portugal for 1986-2017
using data from the Personnel Records database. Our objective is twofold:
(a) characterize earnings inequality by comparing representative
distributions, before and after the great crisis; and (b) investigate the
role played by the business cycle on the behaviour of earnings inequality by
estimating Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ADL) models. To identify trends
and variations along the trend in earnings inequality we use cardinal
measures and the coefficient of variation. We inspect the characteristics of
earnings distributions in terms of moments (mean and median) and
polarization (using relative distributions analysis). The main findings are:
(1) earnings inequality shows a positive trend (except during the great
crisis); (2) polarization is present in every year, with lower polarisation
prevailing over upper polarization, both evolving at different paces (very
fast 1989-2002; slower pace 2002-2008; negative growth 2008-2017); (3) the
business cycle relationship with earnings inequality is negative.
Who volunteers in Serbia? Motives and value orientations of Serbian volunteers
Authors: Radovanovic Bojana , Simeunovic Ivana
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we focus on individual factors that influence on people t o
engage in formal volunteering, providing empirical evidence from Serbia. We
discussed Batson?s four-motive theory of communal actions. The majority of
Serbian volunteers reportedly dedicated their time in order to contribute to
the community and to help people in need. Thus, they were driven by
collectivism and altruism. The lack of time, lack of solicitation for
volunteering and being unable to make long-term commitments were reported as
the main barriers to volunteering. Serbian volunteers rarely obtain material
and non-material benefits from volunteering, and they do not perceive
volunteering as a valuable tool for job success. Then, we focused on
Schwartz value theory and its potential to explain pro-social behaviour. Our
findings based on descriptive statistics and the independent samples t test
show that self-transcendence values are more important for Serbian
volunteers than self-enhancement values, and that self-transcendence values
are more emphasized among volunteers than among non-volunteers. However, we
also found that on average volunteers score higher on self-enhancement value
orientation than nonvolunteers. Our findings, based on multiple regression
models, cannot confirm that, controlled for other factors, volunteers and
non-volunteers have different value orientations. Finally, according to the
logistic regression models, Serbian volunteers are more likely to be found
among younger, better-educated population, with higher scores on the scale
of self-transcendence value orientations.
Socrates facing death in the apology
Authors: Deretic Irina
Published: July 2020

In this paper, I will assess the philosophical significance and consistency
of Socrates? remarks about death, as they are presented in three arguments
in Plato?s Apology. The first argument deals with the fear of death, while
the second and the third refer to how we should evaluate death itself. I
will defend the view that the arguments do not contradict to each other, and
though not altogether persuasive, they do reveal some significant truths in
regards to our attitude towards life and death. Furthermore, I will point
out that all three arguments are closely linked with Socrates? thought that
death is far better than a life that is not worth living.
Morality and legality in Kant’s ethics
Authors: Guc Josip
Published: July 2020

Differentiation of morality and legality is one of the fundamental topoi of
Kant?s ethics. However, alongside it is often interpreted in too simple (and
also sometimes wrong) manner, this differentiation does not demonstrate the
whole complexity of Kant?s understanding of moral correctness of certain
types of will determination. Thus the goal of this paper is to point out
different kinds of morally relevant actions (which are not limited to
morality and legality), and then to explain to which extend each of them can
be understood as morally correct. For that purpose we will thoroughly
consider the issue of determination of will, and then also some of the
problematic interpretations of legality and morality, where as a specific
issue arises the one of equating morality with autonomy and legality with
heteronomy (especially in domestic philosophical works). The issue of
different levels of moral correctness of action will also be examined
concerning the phenomenon of moral feeling. Particular attention will be
given to the role of the kind of action that refer to having direct
inclination toward morally correct action, even though it is not directly
determined by the moral law. The analysis of these issues brings us to
conclusion that legality is satisfied by an action which is outwardly done
in a way it would be done by an autonomously determined will. Considering
this, the determination of morality precedes the determination of legality.
Other way around can be detected only in the process of education.
Politics and the limits of philosophy: Bernard Williams on realism in political theory
Authors: Mladenovic Ivan
Published: July 2020

Bernard Williams?s papers collected in the volume In the Beginning Was the
Deed: Realism and Moralism in Political Argument had a great influence on
contemporary normative political theory. Williams not only revived the topic
of realism in political theory, but also defended the approach of political
realism that he contrasts to the approach of political moralism. This paper
will focus on the distinction between political realism and political
moralism. Moreover, the question of legitimacy will be considered in the
light of this distinction. After examination of the distinction between
political realism and political moralism, we will be in a position to
address the main question that this paper aims to answer: does political
realism set any limits on political philosophy?
Plantinga on warrant and acceptability of Christian Belief
Authors: Rakonjac Stevan
Published: July 2020

Alvin Plantinga wants to answer the following question: Is Christian belief
intellectualy or rationaly acceptable? We will present the answer John Locke
gives, based on his evidentialism, to the aforementioned question, as well
as Plantinga?s critique of Locke?s evidentialist approach. Plantinga thinks
that the question ?Is Christian belief intellectualy or rationaly
acceptable?? is best understood as meaning ?Is Christian belief warranted??.
We will analyze Plantinga?s argument for the claim that Christian belief
probably has warrant if it is true, which implies that we first have to show
that Christian belief (probably) is false in order to show that it
(probably) has no warrant. But than that means that we have to show that
Christian belief is false in order to show that it is unacceptable, making
it very hard, if not impossible, to show that Christian belief is
unacceptable. We will then present one objection to Plantinga?s argument,
?the Great Pumpkin Objection?. Relying on Linda Zagzebski?s analysis, we
will claim that the Great Pupmpkin objection shows that Plantinga?s notion
of ?warrant? does not adequately capture the meaning of the relevant notion
of ?intellectual or rational acceptability? of beliefs, and that, hence, his
conclusion about warrant of Christian belief are not necessary relevant for
the claims about intellectual or rational acceptability of Christian belief.
We will also analyze a solution given by Kyle Scott. He thinks that if we
have, in addition to Plantinga?s argument showing that Christian belief is
warranted if true, favouring evidence in support of Christian belief, which
he thinks we obviously have, than Christian belief is acceptable. We will
point out that Scott does not elaborate what makes adequate favouring
evidence in support of some belief, and we will calim that adequate
understanding of favouring evidence will, in some respects, be very similar
to Locke?s evidentialism. If so, than Scott proposal will reintroduce some
elements of Locke?s evidentialism, and the question of whether there is
favouring evidence in support of Christian belief will not have an obvious
and easy answer.
Is Lamarckism returning to evolutionary biology?
Authors: Berber Andrea
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we address the question whether insights on the inheritance of
environmentally induced epigenetic marks can be considered as the return to
Lamarckism in evolutionary biology, as it is sometimes proclaimed. We analyze
and clarify Lamarck?s understanding of the inheritance of acquired traits.
After that, we briefly summarize the contemporary insights on the inheritance
of acquired epigenetic marks. We differentiate between the two roles that
epigenetic inheritance can play in the evolutionary process. For each of
these roles, we analyze whether it can be seen as Lamarckism. The conclusion
of our analysis is that neither of the two roles listed can be regarded as
the return to Lamarckian concept of evolution.
The exploratory status of postconnectionist models
Authors: Milojevic Miljana , Subotic Vanja
Published: July 2020

This paper aims to offer a new view of the role of connectionist models in
the study of human cognition through the conceptualization of the history of
connectionism - from the simplest perceptrons to convolutional neural nets
based on deep learning techniques, as well as through the interpretation of
criticism coming from symbolic cognitive science. Namely, the connectionist
approach in cognitive science was the target of sharp criticism from the
symbolists, which on several occasions caused its marginalization and almost
complete abandonment of its assumptions in the study of cognition. Criticisms
have mostly pointed to its explanatory inadequacy as a theory of cognition or
to its biological implausibility as a theory of implementation, and critics
often focused on specific shortcomings of some connectionist models and
argued that they apply on connectionism in general. In this paper we want to
show that both types of critique are based on the assumption that the only
valid explanations in cognitive science are instances of homuncular
functionalism and that by removing this assumption and by adopting an
alternative methodology - exploratory mechanistic strategy, we can reject
most objections to connectionism as irrelevant, explain the progress of
connectionist models despite their shortcomings and sketch the trajectory of
their future development. By adopting mechanistic explanations and by
criticizing functionalism, we will reject the objections of explanatory
inadequacy, by characterizing connectionist models as generic rather than
concrete mechanisms, we will reject the objections of biological
implausibility, and by attributing the exploratory character to connectionist
models we will show that practice of generalizing current to general failures
of connectionism is unjustified.

The Tourism Industry and the Marine Environment
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

Throughout this book we have been looking, primarily, at the negative impacts of tourism on the marine environment. It would appear reasonable to lay the blame for this at the door of the tourism industry, which facilitates the vacations that cause this harm and makes money from exploiting the marine environment and the other natural resources of tourist destinations around the world. However, things are not always that simple, as we will see in this chapter. For in tourism, and certainly land-based tourism, it has often been the tourism industry itself, and particularly the tour operation sector, which has often been leading the way on responsible tourism, often with little encouragement from the tourists themselves and usually no government regulation forcing them to act. Their motives may not have been altruistic but, nevertheless, they have taken action on a number of fronts, while events like the Responsible Tourism Days at World Travel Market in London have sought to share good practice around the tourism industry.
Leisure Activities in Marine Environments
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

In recent years we have seen a veritable ‘explosion’ in the use of the sea for a growing variety of marine leisure activities. This is now a truly global phenomenon that can be seen from Iceland to South Africa, Australia to Florida. Activities in the sea have always been part of coastal tourism, from paddling and swimming to sailing and diving to angling and boat trips. However, in the past decade or two we have seen the invention of new activities and the developments of variations on traditional marine activities. We now have coasteering, wild swimming, paddle-boarding, RIB and banana boats and sea kayaking, all giving tourists further opportunities to get pleasure from the marine environment. Many of these activities also reflect a change in marine leisure with an increase in active rather than passive activities and an increase in adventure activities. This has, inevitably, increased the risk level of sea-based leisure activities in some ways. Several of the more adventurous new activities also involve travelling further from land or to less developed areas of coast, increasing the risk further. Interestingly, it appears that many tourists become ‘hooked’ on some sea-based leisure activities once they have experienced them on vacation. From that point onwards their desire to continue to participate in an activity will often influence their choice of vacation destination. The innovative developments we have seen in terms of sea-based leisure activities have led to a huge increase in participation in marine leisure activities. This has been stimulated by, and reflected in, the investment made in equipment and infrastructure for such activities by governments, commercial operators, and hotels and resorts.
Introduction All at Sea
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

For centuries now, the sea has been at the very heart of tourism. For hundreds of millions of people worldwide, going on vacation still means going to the coast, particularly for their annual summer break. This magnetic pull of the sea motivates millions of people every week, from Stockholm to Sydney, New York to New Delhi, to head to their favourite beaches and seaside resorts. The lure of the sea makes them willing to put up with the hassles of modern airline travel and being stuck for hours in huge traffic jams so they can spend a few days each year by the ocean. What they do when they arrive at the coast, however, varies dramatically from tourist to tourist. For some they are content just to drink in the views, take photos and sit in their car viewing the sea through their windscreens. For others it means lying on the beach soaking up the sun, people-watching or playing ball games. Some tourists come to enjoy the man-made attractions that develop wherever tourists make their annual seasonal migration to the ocean. This can mean everything from casinos to theme parks, gift shops to theatres. In these cases, the sea is simply a backdrop to the vacation, with little real interaction with it on the part of the visitor.
Wildlife–Watching in Marine Environments
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

If one looks at destination guide books from as late as the 1990s, very few would have had much to say about watching marine wildlife, except perhaps a few sentences about scuba-diving and the opportunity it gave the tourist to see interesting and beautiful fish as an added bonus for participating in this leisure activity. Otherwise, the tourist may have been recommended to visit a certain place because of the opportunities to fish for huge specimens that could be displayed as trophies and photographed to impress the folks back home. Yet, a few years later, marine wildlife-watching has become a major selling point for many coastal destinations around the world, from Australia to California, Sri Lanka to Alaska, South Africa to Scotland. Interestingly, it is also an activity, out of all of the ways in which tourism and the marine environment interacts, that has attracted perhaps the most attention by tourism researchers. In this chapter we will look at how and why this change occurred together with a look at the impacts of the rise of marine wildlife-watching in its many forms. However, first we need to be clear what we are talking about by looking at several typologies of marine wildlife-watching.
Coastal Tourism and the Ocean Fringe
Authors: Swarbrooke Professor John
Published: July 2020

This focus of this book is on the marine environment, but one cannot understand the impact of tourism on the marine environment without looking at the ocean fringe, the interface between the land and the ocean. In this chapter we will concentrate on how things that happen on land in relation to tourism impact on the marine environment. However, it is also important to note that this relationship is two-way and that tourism on land is affected by the ocean in terms of coastal erosion, for example, as well as being impacted by changes in the temperature of sea water and rising sea levels.

Published: July 2020

This research is a descriptive study that describes the learning of chemistry during the Covid-19 pandemic. The respondents in this study were 127 high school students from the West Java and Banten provinces. A Google Form questionnaire was used to collect the data. The results showed that the most widely used online class applications were WhatsApp Group feature, Google Classroom, and Zoom. Students also used printed textbooks, e-books, and student worksheets as learning media. Students did laboratory practice at home using easily found tools and materials. However, a small portion of the respondents ( 11 %) used materials purchased from a chemical store, and another small portion of the respondents ( 14 %) used virtual laboratories. They reported the results of their practice by making a laboratory practice report as well as through video activities and Microsoft PowerPoint for presentation. Students learn from home with varying durations. Most students experienced obstacles during the learning process so that they prefer learning face-to-face in class as usual. Therefore, the teacher must prepare a variety of strategies for distance learning so that the students can learn chemistry from home with fun. Some strategies that can be applied are providing audio-visual learning media or computer/android-based games for chemistry, using the online class application that accommodates interactions similar to face-to-face learning, providing laboratory practice using tools and materials that can be easily found around the house, providing virtual lab application, and providing more opportunities for students to ask questions about chemistry topics that they do not understand.
