Adequate nutrient intake, especially of protein and micronutrients, enhances growth of children and decreases susceptibility to disease. Major contributing factors to malnutrition among infants and children are low purchasing power of the family resulting in poor quality foods. A cross-sectional and laboratory-based study was conducted at Titecha Kebele in Ethiopia to assess the consumption pattern of broad bean. The work also assessed use of broad bean for complementary feeding of young children, following FAO/WHO/UNU’s recommendation of adding up to a maximum of 40% legumes to cereal-based complementary food for young children. Study participants were mother-child pairs (n=169), and children were between 6-35 months of age. Most families were in poverty with stunting, wasting, and underweight present in 22.5, 4.7, and 8.3% of study children, respectively. Questionnaires gathered information on dietary intakes, and focus group discussions were used to obtain indepth information on the mother’s attitude and knowledge of child feeding, as well as overall consumption of broad beans. The mean dietary diversity score of children was approximately two out of a possible eight, and no child had consumed meat, fish, or vitamin A-containing fruits or vegetables the day before the study. Sixty percent of mothers did not provide bean-based food for their children, with the most frequently reported reason being lack of knowledge of its nutrient value for young children. To a typical complementary food of barley-maize porridge, 10, 20 and 30% of cereal was replaced by processed broad beans (Vicia faba), which increased in protein content, with no meaningful change in phytate content. Sensory evaluation showed that participant children and mothers preferred the taste of the 10% broad bean porridge; however, all added broad bean porridges had similar acceptability to the barley-maize control. Thus, inclusion of processed broad bean can effectively be done to improve nutrient content and nutrient availability of traditional cereal-based complementary foods in the Titecha kebele region of Ethiopia.
Development of a marker panel for genotyping of domestic soybean cultivars for genes controlling the duration of vegetation and response to photoperiod
Authors: Perfil’ev R. N. , Shcherban A. B. , Salina E. A.
Published: December 2021

Soybean, Glycine max L., is one of the most important agricultural crops grown in a wide range of latitude. In this regard, in soybean breeding, it is necessary to pay attention to the set of genes that control the transition to the flowering stage, which will make it possible to adapt genotypes to local growing conditions as accurately as possible. The possibilities of soybean breeding for this trait have now significantly expanded due to identification of the main genes (E1–E4, GmFT2a, GmFT5a) that control the processes of flowering and maturation in soybean, depending on the day length. The aim of this work was to develop a panel of markers for these genes, which could be used for a rapid and efficient genotyping of domestic soybean cultivars and selection of plant material based on sensitivity to photoperiod and the duration of vegetation. Combinations of 10 primers, both previously developed and our own, were tested to identify different alleles of the E1–E4, GmFT2a, and GmFT5a genes using 10 soybean cultivars from different maturity groups. As a result, 5 combinations of dominant and recessive alleles for the E1–E4 genes were identified: (1) e1-nl(e1-as)/ e2-ns/e3-tr(e3-fs)/e4; (2) e1-as/e2-ns/e3-tr/E4; (3) e1-as/e2-ns/E3-Ha/e4; (4) E1/e2-ns/e3-tr/E4; (5) e1-nl/e2-ns/E3-Ha/E4. The studied cultivars contained the most common alleles of the GmFT2a and GmFT5a genes, with the exception of the ‘Cassidi’ cultivar having a rare dominant allele GmFT5a-H4. The degree of earliness of cultivars positively correlated with the number of recessive genes E1–E4, which is consistent with the data of foreign authors on different sets of cultivars from Japan and North China. Thus, the developed panel of markers can
Getting a Job in Flushing: A Qualitative Study on Chinese Immigrants’ Job-Finding and Job Transitions in an Ethnic Enclave
Authors: Liu Bolei
Published: December 2021

In this study, I investigated how different forms of human capital and social capital of new Chinese immigrants affect their job-search and job transitions in the Flushing area. I conducted sixteen indepth interviews with new Chinese immigrants who were seeking job opportunities within Flushing, documenting not only their personal background but also their immigration and working experiences in both China and the United States. Results indicate that the aggregation of certain human capital has positive influence on immigrants’ income, rather on immigrants’ job-findings and job transitions. The efficiency of social ties, instead of strength of social ties, is a more significant unit of analysis in the co-ethnic labor market. Though immigrants’ efficient social ties may be helpful for finding their first jobs in the U.S., the efficiency of social ties with regards to job-searching may dramatically decrease as immigrants stay longer in the U.S. As a result, social ties may not have a salient influence on immigrants’ job transitions.

Do Crossbreeding using Exotic Breeds in Goat is the Right Solution for a Low-input Production System in Ethiopia? : A Review
Authors: Tesema Zeleke , Kebede Damitie
Published: December 2021

Analysis and evaluation of the previous genetic improvement attempts and their fruition are paramount to make the right decision in the future. Hence, this paper reviews the status of goat genetic improvement programs through quantitative evidence and elucidates how it can be implemented in the future through an intensive literature review. Goat genetic improvement through crossbreeding was initiated early in 1975. However, most crossbreeding programs have lacked analysis of the existing resources and infrastructure and also lack long-term strategies. As a result, crossbreeding program was discontinued without significant contribution due to incompatibility of the exotic genotype with low-input production systems. On the other hand, the moderate to high genetic variation within a population open the window for within-breed selection. Accordingly, a well-designed within-breed selection program was initiated late in 2013 for specified breeds. Currently, governmental and non-governmental institutions plan to scale up community-based within-breed selection program. Besides, the efficiency of assisted reproductive technologies in goat genetic improvement was evaluated by ICARDA and reported a moderate achievement. However, the application of molecular technologies in Ethiopia is only limited to diversity studies. Nevertheless, there is an opportunity to use molecular technologies to enhance the genetic progress of a genetic improvement program. In conclusion, the expected benefits from crossbreeding program were not obtained and will not be obtained under the existing low input-production system. Therefore, a within-breed selection program would be an ideal option for the existing low-input production system if integrated with assisted reproductive and molecular technologies.

Authors: Abdulwahid A.M. , Zhao J.B.
Published: December 2021

China has about 107 local chicken breeds and is considered one of the richest countries in terms of genetic resources. This diversity is a source of richness natural resources across the globe and is regarded as an excellent material for genetic improvement of breeds or breeding new breeds around the world. The present review highlights the recent evidence and studies of chicken origin and domestication in China and Southeast Asia. The evidence of molecular genetics and archeological results supported that multiple regions and event were contributed to the creation of chicken evolution from Red Jungle fowl and the findings proposed that one of events happened in domestication of chicken 8000 BP in Southeast of Asia. Several researchers confirmed that China was declared as most important of the world as a first centers for the chicken’s domestication and these chickens have remained in many archaeological sites in China.

ICT policy appropriation: Teachers as transformative ICT agents
Authors: Vandeyar Thirusellvan
Published: December 2021

This qualitative instrumental case study set out to explore how the national e-Education policy is appropriated by teachers in South African schools. The meta-theoretical paradigm was social constructivism and the research strategy of inquiry utilised backward mapping principles. A socio-cultural approach to policy analysis and emancipatory theory provided the theoretical framings of this study. The case study design included a mix of data collection methods namely, interviews, classroom observations, document analysis and a researcher journal. Findings revealed that the existence of an “invisible national E-education policy” served as a catalyst for teacher agency in the formulation and implementation of a school ICT policy. Second, a change in the implementation paradigm of these teachers highlighted their role as transformative ICT agents. Their stance shifted from being merely conduits of policy, to becoming proactive socio-cultural actors in the formulation and appropriation of a school-based policy. Third, a new construct to policy appropriation emerged, namely the ignorance of teachers about the national e-Education policy led to their practice informing policy. Teachers’ beliefs, attitudes, will and professionalism are key to ICT policy formulation. Teachers’ experiences of policy implementation are valuable assets that should be incorporated in the formulation of policy.
Fundamental Shifts in Strategic Thinking Concepts and their Teaching Implications
Authors: Namaki M S S El
Published: December 2021

Powerful forces of disruption are penetrating the core concepts of strategic thinking and the strategy education industry.

Traditional strategic thinking literature and instruction material rest on a solid base of concepts developed by authors from Ansoff and Drucker to Porter, Mintzberg and Prahalad. Their concepts lasted for decades and their literature is a standard feature of business school strategy teachings until this very day. Disruptive forces are changing this situation, however, Generic and functional disruptive forces from boundary-breaking technologies, and norm shaking sociology to rule-breaking economics and unsettling political shifts,   have gone a long way towards introducing a new paradigm.

The following article provides an attempt at identifying those concepts worn out by new realities or end game concepts, and those others constituting a novel thrust.

The article draws a picture of possible future consequences as well. Those include research prospects, curricula implications and competency gaps.

Authors: KAZANCIOĞLU Leyla , BATÇIK Şule
Published: December 2021

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the respiratory complications defined by the Integrated Pulmonary Index (IPI) in patients with comorbid risk factors who underwent Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGE) under sedation.Methods: This cross-sectional, prospective study was conducted with 157 patients, aged over 18 years, in our endoscopy unit between July 2020 and December 2020. Patients’ demographic data, body mass index (BMI), ASA class and comorbidities were recorded. The mean arterial pressure (MAP), and HR, RR, SpO2, EtCO2 for the IPI were measured as baseline values and 5 minutes of the procedure and compared between two groups as the patients who developed (Group I) and did not develop (Group II) complications.Results: The mean BMI value was statistically significantly higher in Group I compared to Group II (p<0.001). The mean HR was statistically significantly higher and IPI score significantly lower in Group I than in Group II before the procedure (p=0.013, p=0.01; respectively). The mean SpO2, EtCO2 and IPI values were statistically significantly lower in Group I compared to Group II at 5 minutes of the procedure (p=0.001, p=0.004, p=0.010; respectively). The frequency of comorbidities was statistically significantly higher in Group I. In the logistic regression analysis, BMI value was found as an independent factor affecting the development of respiratory complications.Conclusion: The mean IPI scores dropped significantly in patients who developed complications, mainly due to the decreases in EtCO2 and SpO2 values at 5 minutes of the procedure. BMI was determined as a risk factor for the development of respiratory complications. IPI monitoring can provide guidance during sedation of patients with comorbid diseases undergoing UGE.

Authors: Lilihata Jilvientasia Godive , Saputro Iswinarno Doso , Hariani Lynda
Published: December 2021

Latar Belakang: Laryngotracheal stenosis (LTS) terjadi pada 24-53% pasien pasca trauma inhalasi1. Insiden komplikasi pasca pembedahan LTS adalah 33- 34% dan mortalitas pasca pembedahan adalah 1,5-2%2. SGS sering terjadi pada cedera inhalasi pasca intubasi1. Laporan Kasus: Pasien dengan luka bakar pada area wajah dan keempat ekstremitas, akibat ledakan tabung gas pada ruangan tertutup. Sembilan jam pasca trauma, pasien mengeluhkan kesulitan bernapas. Pasien diintubasi selama 2 hari pasca trauma dan 5 kali intubasi lainnya dengan ETT cuff 6,5 mm untuk tindakan operasi. Tidak ada data tekanan cuff pasien. Hari ke-38 perawatan di rumah sakit, pasien mengeluh suaranya serak dan terkadang merasa sulit bernapas. Hasil fiber optic laryngoscopy (FOL) pasien menunjukan 30% penyempitan pada subglotis. Pasien didiagnosis dengan SGS stadium 1. Pasien tidak membutuhkan tindakan pembedahan dan hanya diobservasi. Diskusi: Evaluasi FOL perlu dilakukan sejak awal cedera inhalasi3. Evaluasi FOL pada pasien kami baru dilakukan setelah muncul gejala SGS. Risiko LTS meningkat sesuai dengan keparahan cedera inhalasi, keparahan reaksi inflamasi, durasi intubasi (lebih dari 10 hari), ukuran ETT yang besar, dan intubasi berulang. Tekanan cuff pada ETT dapat mengakibatkan pembentukan skar dan stenosis pada subglotis1. Tekanan cuff yang direkomendasikan adalah 20-30 cmH2O. Tekanan cuff perlu diukur dan disesuaikan tiap 4-12 jam4. Pasien kami diintubasi sebanyak 6 kali, tanpa pengukuran tekanan cuff. Stadium SGS yang sering digunakan adalah Cotton Meyer staging. Stadium 1 SGS tidak membutuhkan tindakan pembedahan5. Kesimpulan: Sekuel cedera inhalasi pada subglotis dapat dicegah dengan melakukan intubasi sesuai indikasi dan menggunakan ETT ukuran kecil dengan tekanan cuff yang tidak terlalu tinggi.

Published: December 2021

Patriarchal culture is part of Malay society. However widows in Serdang Village, South Bangka gain agency in the midst of patriarchal culture. They find strategies in meeting their sexual needs after getting their agency. This study looks at how women find their agency and strategies to fulfill their sexual needs in the midst of the Serdang Village community which is still heavily associated with its Malay culture. The ethnographic research method was carried out to explore the agency of young widows in the village using Agency Theory from Lois McNay and Gayle Rubin’s thought “The Charmed Cyrcle” as an analytical knife to dissect the problems that exist in Serdang Village. This study found that young widows use strategies to fulfill their sexual needs, either by connecting with a boyfriend without getting married, watching adult videos, connecting with customers on a consensual or paid basis. This study concludes that the agency that has been built by the widows allows them to express their sexual needs freely.

Progress in the treatment of NK-cell lymphoma/leukemia
Authors: Fujimoto Ayumi , Suzuki Ritsuro
Published: December 2021

Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma includes two major subtypes of disease, specifically extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) and aggressive NK cell leukemia (ANKL). Both are strongly associated with Epstein-Barr virus and are prevalent in East Asia and Latin America. Except for that of limited-stage ENKL, the prognosis of both diseases was poor in the previous decade. The advent of non-anthracycline-based chemoradiotherapy has contributed to an improvement in ENKL prognosis, but there is still room for further treatment progress. Recently, the high efficacy of PD-1 antibody was reported in relapsed or refractory ENKL patients. This was later supported by the finding that PD-L1/PD-L2 genetic alterations are frequently observed in ENKL and ANKL patients. Due to the rarity of the disease, a standard treatment for ANKL remains to be established. Currently, allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment, and this is even applicable to chemo-resistant ANKL patients. In this review, we focus on recent treatment approaches for NK/T cell lymphomas including novel agents.

Published: December 2021

Kasus Hipertensi kini banyak ditemukan diseluruh lapisan masyarakat, bahkan hingga ke daerah pelosok. Tingginya prevalensi kasus tersebut sangat berkaitan dengan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) masyarakat itu sendiri. Salah satu poin PHBS yang masih banyak diacuhkan adalah merokok. Banyak kalangan masyarakat masih mengkonsumsi rokok yang dapat menyebabkan hipertensi. Poin PHBS kedua yang kerap diacuhkan adalah konsumsi buah dan sayur. Realitanya, banyak masyarakat kurang mengontrol nutrisi yang dikonsumsi dalam sehari menyebabkan peningkatan kadar tertentu dalam tubuh. Hal tersebut tentunya memicu timbulnya penyakit seperti kolesterol tinggi, asam urat, bahkan diabetes. Kurangnya kesadaran ibu untuk melakukan poin PHBS terkait menimbang balita setiap bulan menyebabkan ketidaktauan seorang ibu terhadap status gizi anaknya dan menyebabkan kasus gizi kurang susah terdeteksi sejak dini. Program posyandu sangat brmanfaat untuk membantu monitoring dari status gizi anak. Upaya penurunan angka kasus tersebut dapat dilakukan dengan cara pencegahan. Tindakan preventif yang bisa dilakukan adalah dengan pemberian edukasi ke masyarakat. Pemebrian edukasi terkait PHBS bisa menjadi langkah preventif sekaligus promotif. Kasus lain yang biasanya timbul di masyarakat rural adalah gizi kurang. Tujuan kegiatan ini adalah untuk membantu dusun tersebut dengan pemberian alat kesehatan yang bisa digunakan untuk memonitoring kesehatan warganya yang dilakukan oleh kader desa yang terlatih, pemberian buku panduan terkait gizi seimbang serta memberikan edukasi kesehatan kepada warga melalui media poster. Kegiatan ini dilakukan satu kali dalam sebulan dimulai dari bulan September hingga Desember 2020.

A TEORIA HOLÍSTICO-CONFIGURACIONAL DE PESSOA NA FILOSOFIA ESTRUTURAL-SISTEMÁTICA
Authors: Viana Wellistony Carvalho
Published: December 2021

O debate sobre a metafísica da pessoa adquiriu destaque na filosofia analítica nas últimas décadas. Isso é explicado por vários fatores, entre eles o antigo e sempre novo interesse em querer obter a resposta para a pergunta: quem sou eu? No cenário atual, o debate acerca do status ontológico da pessoa tem sido realizado por vários tipos de teorias, desde dualistas até as diversas versões do fisicalismo. O grande problema do debate constitui a pressuposição de uma ontologia geral e semântica não explicitadas ou incoerentes. No presente artigo, apresentamos a teoria holístico-configuracional de pessoa (THC) da Filosofia Estrutural-Sistemática (FES). A característica básica desta posição consiste na abordagem da pessoa num quadro teórico mais abrangente, no qual mente e corpo são vistos como dimensões interconectadas de um todo. De fato, estados mentais e físicos pertencem à dimensão oniabrangente do Ser como tal e em seu todo, o que revela uma nova perspectiva capaz de dissolver o impasse clássico da interação mente-cérebro.

THE OBLIGATION TO OBEY THE LAW IN THE LIGHT OF THE DEBATE BETWEEN FINNIS AND RAZ
Authors: Bucchile Faggion Andrea Luisa
Published: December 2021

The recent debate between John Finnis and Joseph Raz on the existence of a general prima facie moral obligation to obey positive laws is a major contribution to a classical topic in legal and political philosophy. In this paper, I argue that Raz’s normal justification thesis and Finnis’s doctrine of “determinatio,” inherited from Aquinas, complement each other, shedding light on how norms grounded in social facts can give rise to particular moral obligations independently of their content. However, I argue that this on its own does not explain the possibility of a general moral obligation to obey the law, that is, the notion that everyone has a prima facie moral obligation to obey every law that applies to them.
EM BUSCA DA TRANSCENDÊNCIA: OS OXFORDIANOS E OS DEBATES EM TORNO DO TRANSUMANISMO
Authors: Borges Luiz Adriano Gonçalves
Published: December 2021

Este texto mapeia o início do debate em torno do movimento transumanista na Inglaterra, do início até meados do século XX, buscando perceber seus principais argumentos. Para isso analisamos os escritos de autores como Julian Huxley, Haldane e Bernal, que foram os fundadores do transumanismo contemporâneo, contrapondo com as ideias de Tolkien, Lewis e Michael Polanyi, autores que trafegaram intelectualmente por Oxford e que eram críticos do movimento. Lewis e Tolkien procuraram tratar das implicações do pensamento transumanista através principalmente de suas ficções (mas também em cartas e outros textos), ilustrando de maneira mais clara para o grande público as possíveis consequências desse movimento. Polanyi, enquanto filósofo da ciência, partindo de sua experiência como cientista, pensou no contexto maior dos objetivos desse movimento e do progresso da ciência, se preocupando também com a planificação da ciência e do estabelecimento de uma tecnocracia. Os defensores do transumanismo defendiam que os avanços da ciência e da tecnologia deveriam ser empregados para superar as limitações da natureza humana. Já os críticos argumentavam em favor da cautela, uma vez que as mudanças poderiam ser para pior, sem chances de voltar atrás e viam com ceticismo o progresso tecnológico. Assim, analisar esses debates nos ajuda a compreender o desenvolvimento da ciência e tecnologia no período e nos permite perceber os embates éticos adjacentes, bem como as inter-relações entre estes campos e a sociedade, num período de amplo desenvolvimento tecnológico e novas possibilidades científicas de melhoramento da biologia humana.

Return on Assets (ROA) is important for banks. This is because ROA can be used to measure a bank's ability to make profits in general. In the period 2018-2019 there were problems in the financial statements where when Murabahah Financing and Revenue Sharing Financing increased ROA decreased and when NOM increased ROA decreased. The purpose of this study tested the effect of murabahah financing, revenue sharing financing and NOM on ROA on Bank Uumum Syariah Non-Foreign Exchange. The novelty of this research is in the form of research methods used, which have never previously been used with murabahah financing variables, revenue sharing financing and NOM together. This research is a type of quantitative research with panel data regression methods. The sample used amounted to 4 from Non-Foreign Exchange Sharia Commercial Banks using quarterly data for the period 2018-2019. The findings in this study stated that murabahah financing, revenue sharing and NOM partially had no effect on ROA. However, together murabahah financing, revenue sharing financing and NOM affect ROA. The amount of influence given by the three variables to the ROA is 95.34%. Non-Foreign Exchange Sharia Commercial Bank can increase bank profits and maintain bank stability in financing and investment by increasing the three variables together.

Return on Assets (ROA) merupakan sesuatu yang penting bagi Bank. Hal ini dikarenakan ROA dapat digunakan untuk mengukur kemampuan bank dalam memperoleh keuntungan secara umum. Pada periode tahun 2018-2019 ditemukan permasalahan pada laporan keuangan dimana ketika Pembiayaan Murabahah dan Pembiayaan Bagi Hasil meningkat ROA menurun dan ketika NOM meningkat ROA mengalami penurunan. Tujuan penelitian ini menguji pengaruh pembiayaan murabahah, pembiayaan bagi hasil dan NOM terhadap ROA pada Bank Uumum Syariah Non Devisa. Kebaruan dari penelitian ini berupa metode penelitian yang digunakan, yang sebelumnya belum pernah digunakan dengan variabel pembiayaan murabahah, pembiayaan bagi hasil dan NOM secara bersama-sama. Penelitian ini berjenis penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode regresi data panel. Sampel yang digunakan berjumlah 4 dari Bank Umum Syariah Non Devisa dengan menggunakan data triwulan periode 2018-2019. Hasil penemuan dalam penelitian ini menyatakan bahwa pembiayaan murabahah, pembiyaan bagi hasil dan NOM secara parsial tidak berpengaruh terhadap ROA. Akan tetapi secara bersama-sama pembiayaan murabahah, pembiayaan bagi hasil dan NOM berpengaruh terhadap ROA. Besarnya perngaruh yang diberikan ketiga varibel tersebut terhadap ROA sebesar 95,34%. Bank Umum Syariah Non Devisa dapat meningkatkan keuntungan bank dan menjaga kestabilan bank dalam melakukan pembiayaan maupun investasi dengan meningkatkan ketiga variable tersebut secara bersama-sama.

In our previous article (Gao et al. 2020), a mathematical model including elastic and yield components but not viscous component was developed to predict the wax plug transportation force. In this work, an analytical model was developed to calculate the wax plug transportation force, and the viscous component was introduced into the analytical model to capture some of the time effects. In this analytical model, the viscoelastic behavior of the wax deposit was characterized by a three-parameter model, formulated by adding an additional spring element to the Kelvin-Voight model. The Laplace transformation was used to solve the model. According to the calculated results of the analytical model, the transportation force of the wax plug was observed to slightly increase with time and then tended to level off. To obtain a parameter in the model and verify the model, the pigging experiments were conducted using foam pigs. During the pigging process of the foam pig, the wax plug transportation force in a five-phase wax removal profile was determined by taking the steady wax breaking force from the resistive force of the wax layer. Moreover, the linear increase of the wax plug transportation force per unit contact area with the shear strength of the wax layer was found, as described by the functional relationship in the analytical model. The interfacial lubrication coefficient calculated from the experimental data based on the analytical model is between the coefficient for diesel-prepared deposits and coefficient for oil-A-prepared deposits. Experimental verification results show that the average relative error of the model is 12.47%. Field implication was proposed to illustrate the application of the model and the formation condition of the wax blockage.

Published: December 2021

China is a country short of water resources, and the leakage of urban water pipe network not only aggravates the current situation of water shortage, but also causes major accidents such as ground collapse, so it is of great significance to study the discrimination of urban underground pipe leakage. In this paper, the conventional ions and hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of water samples are determined by ion chromatograph and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer, and the characteristic factors are selected by cluster analysis and principal component analysis, and the mixed water discrimination model based on conventional ions is established According to the difference of hydrogen and oxygen isotope content between buried pipe water and groundwater, a discrimination model based on hydrogen and oxygen isotope is established, and the two models are combined to discriminate the leakage of buried pipe. The results show that, in terms of conventional ion content characteristics, the water in the pipe network is high in K++Na+ and Cl−, while the shallow groundwater near the pipe network is low in K++Na+ and Cl−, and the accuracy of the discriminant model based on conventional ions reaches 87.5%. In the aspect of hydrogen and oxygen isotope content characteristics, the water in the pipe network is closer to the precipitation line than the shallow groundwater, and establishing a discriminant model based on hydrogen and oxygen isotope can determine the leakage of buried pipes. This study provides a scientific basis for judging the leakage of urban underground pipes.

The objective of the research was to contrast two methods for the quantification of hexavalent chromium. The first method is the biosensor that from the gene transformation of the cells of Escherichia coli, was incorporated by electroporation the plasmid pTOP Blunt V2, synthesized with luxA genes that provides luminescence through the catalytic activity of the luciferase top and chr genes that give the bacteria resistance to chromium. The second method is the application of the UV-visible colorimetric technique. Chromium was analysed at different concentrations, from 0.05 mg l−1 (maximum allowable limit for human consumption); 0.1 mg l−1; 0.2 mg l−1; 0.4 mg l−1; 0.8 mg l−1 and 1 mg l−1 with 5 replicates, subsequent to this, the two methods of chromium analysis were applied in river samples, thus obtaining that the biosensor in concentrations of 2x106 CFU of E. coli, has a margin of error of 1.4%, a result derived from the coefficient of determination of the absorbance of chromium, unlike the UV-visible method with the colorimetric equipment, which presented a reading error of 3.9%.
