The paper presents an assessment of the implications of the use of traditional practices and belief systems on natural resource conservation using a case study of selected communities in Ghana (Fomena, Tepa, Tanoso, and Ejisu). The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research approaches to achieve the formulated objectives. A total of 208 (52 each) respondents were selected mainly by convenient and snowballing sampling techniques. Data were collected using both unstructured interview guides and questionnaires. The study revealed that taboos, totems, and customary practices are the major instruments used in the conservation and management of rivers in the study areas. However, it was realized that the traditional measures are challenged by the influence of Western religion, education, and modernity, increasing immigration resulting in a high number of foreigners, and sometimes ignorance. The study recommends that the traditional authorities, families, and clergymen help people appreciate the differences in African traditions and African religion by undertaking that massive sensitization. Also, the government or agencies (such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the local assembly unit) responsible for taking care of the environment and its resources should incorporate the traditional measures in their policies and action plans toward natural or environmental resource conservation and management, like water bodies.

A modern telephone can only be used if it is a dual-band transceiver. Also, an indispensable condition is the availability of Internet access. Modern cell phones can only be used for their intended purpose: making calls. Due to the fact that the operating system is preinstalled on devices, the list of possibilities for gadgets could be expanded almost indefinitely. So you can even do a full-fledged dual-band transceiver from a cell phone. In this paper, an innovation in the development of mobile radio models dual-band transceivers in wireless cellular communication is proposed. For the dual-band transceiver in the phone to work, you need an Internet connection. Progress in the development of technologies for mobile networks does not stand still, and with each new standard and technology for mobile networks, new opportunities for using the network open up for end subscribers. It is based on packet voice data transmission called push-to-talk.
Development of correlation between GCV and proximate analysis of indigenous coals
Authors: Feroze Hafiz Waqas , Nawaz Shafqat
Published: November 2022

Higher heating value (HHV) is very important for quality of coal when used as a fuel. It is often used for estimating the efficiency of treatment and other beneficiation methods and for research purpose. Although it is a costly process and requires special equipment and experts to operate. Whereas proximate analysis data can be obtained easily using an ordinary muffle furnace Therefore, to simplify the task and to reduce the cost of analysis many correlations were developed for determining HHV from proximate analysis of coal. In the present work, an effort has been made to develop a correlation based on proximate analyses data for calculating HHV of coal (air-dried basis). The models presented here is established using analyses of 50 samples of indigenous coal and its importance lies in role of all the major variables affecting the HHV. The developed models appear to be better than the existing models and have the following: Model 1: HHV (Mj/kg) = 15.788â€“ 0.215M% â€“ 0.148A% + 0.036V.m% + 6.680 F.c% Model 2: HHV (Mj/kg) = 8.804 â€“ 0.061M% + 0.187V.m% + 0.231F.c% Heating values of basic types of indigenous coal samples were measured and calculated using empirical formulae and results were compared. Remarkable differences were observed in heating value of fifty samples of indigenous coal analyzed. It is determined that further study of these other types is merited for better and more economical utilization of the coal. A significant correlation was also observed between the Heating values proximate contents of the coal.

Foundry Refractory Coatings are used to improve surface finish of grey iron castings and reduces the re-work cost that covers the surface defects. Present research was concentrated on qualitative and quantitative analysis of commercial coatings through X-ray Diffraction and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy respectively. A number of coating compositions were prepared by means of refractory fillers, binders and particle size as most concern parameter and validated through Design of Experiment. Ultimately, three types of coating formulation were developed by coating constituents and characterized using X-ray Diffraction. Fe2O3 and SiO2 were determined as major phases in all coating samples. Particle size of 75 microns was used for smooth surface finish. Gray iron casting had been produced without disturbing the mechanical properties and graphite distribution. Surface defects were covered by one of the best refractory coating recipe.

Published: November 2022

This article presents the methods of processing gold-plated pins from, among others, used computer equipment and discusses the research results on the recovered metal. Due to the relatively small structure of the pins and the fact that the gold layer is only a few microns thick, recovering gold from them constitutes a significant challenge. On the other hand, gold is a precious metal which enables the collective removal of other metals to obtain pure gold. The suggested method involves compacting the gold-plated pins into an anode form and carrying out the electro-refining process. Metals, such as copper, tin and iron, pass into the anode sludge from which they can be extracted or serve as a commercial intermediate sold to smelter plants. The anode sludge was melted in the flame of an oxy-acetylene torch in a graphite crucible by adding borax. As a result of the melting, several metallic precipitates were obtained. Then they were hot-incorporated into a sample with a diameter of 30 mm and a height of 12 mm. Eventually, a pure gold alloy sample was obtained, which contains Cu 40.69%, Sn 9.61% and Au 48.58%.
Legal issues of Attribution for public facilities in the National Land Planning and Utilization Act
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Jeong Hae-young
Published: November 2022

Attribution system for public facilities is a regulations determining the ownership of public facilities for the installation of public facilities and its efficient management, governing the appropriate burden of public facilities installation costs The legal characteristic of this system is that, in the automatic condemnation, there is a change in real rights according to the provisions of the law, and in the case of gratuitous transfer, administrative property can be immediately disposed of without going through the abolition procedure. The basic form of the legal system is when a person who has obtained permission for development activities installs public facilities, and depending on whether the person who has obtained the permit is an administrative agency or not, it is classified into automatic condemnation and gratuitous transfer. The automatic condemnation is applied when functional substitutability between new public facilities and existing public facilities is recognized, so there is no special legal problem. However, in the case of gratuitous transfer, the licensed person is in a legally unstable state because it is decided at the discretion of administrative agency whether the licensed person can receive the gratuitous transfer. According to the purpose of the system, it is reasonable to interpret it as having to transfer existing public facilities to the licensed person unless there are special circumstances. Despite the need to secure essential public facilities, this system creates a considerable burden on the project operator. However, there are many unclear parts in relation to the endowment, the requirements and effects for applying the system. This causes various problems in practice. Therefore, it is necessary to various discussions and legislative efforts to solve these practical problems.
Improvement of the Provisions for Protection of Opportunity to Recover Premium
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Kang Ki-Won
Published: November 2022

In Korea, self-employed people account for about 24% of the total number of employed people, so the proportion of them is especially high when compared to the world. Most of these self-employed businesses operate as tenants, but on May 13, 2015, five provisions were newly established in the Commercial Building Lease Protection Act, which mainly protects the opportunity to recover the premium, and on October 16, 2018, protection for tenants was strengthened. Nevertheless, criticism continues that it is still insufficient to protect tenants, and in reality, disputes are constantly occurring. The reason why premium disputes are constantly occurring is that the concept of the newly established premium as above is uncertain and does not play a practical role in protecting tenants. Therefore, in this study, the author critically analyzes the current premium collection opportunity protection regulations and proposes a legislative improvement plan that can more practically and stably protect the premium collection opportunity of commercial tenants.
Land Reform Movement in Germany (II): Focusing on Land Reform Legislation
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Kim Seongeun
Published: November 2022

In Germany, the population of large cities such as Berlin has increased rapidly due to industrialization and urbanization since modern times. The rental apartments for workers in large cities built during this period were called “rental barracks”(Mietskaserne), and the living conditions were very poor. As such, the demand for residential space in large cities continued to increase, and this resulted in an increase in demand for land, leading to a rapid rise in land prices. In the midst of this, American economist Henry George argued that the land value should be shared by society through the land value taxation, which collects land rent as a tax, and through this, the land problem could be solved. Influenced by Henry George's argument, Adolf Damashke appeared in Germany and the German Land Reformers Association (Bund Deutscher Bodenreformer) was formed. Due to their efforts, the Hereditary Land Rights Act was enacted in 1919, and Article 155 of the Weimar Constitution contained the content of the return of development profits. However, even if the constitution stipulates the return of development profits, the subsequent legislation was not implemented. This experience of Germany's past legislation can be used as a reference in Korea's current legislation related to land-rental housing for sale and the issue of stipulating the concept of land public in the Constitution.
The Establishment and Scope of Unjust Enrichment by Reason of Insufficient Land Use Rights of Condominium Buildings
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Jung Euijin
Published: November 2022

Sectional owners share a land provided for a condominium building from an external point of view, while internally using a specific part of the land for the section of exclusive use. This paper deals with sectional owners with insufficient land use rights. The substantial character of land use rights provides useful guidance to assess whether they are unjustly gaining benefits from the land. The unjust enrichment claim brought against a sectional owner with insufficient land use rights should be dismissed, while the same claim by shareholders of the land without sectional ownership can be established. The claims against sectional owners with proper amount of the rights should not be accepted. The scope of unjust enrichment is calculated as follows: Appraised value of the rent × Each sectional owner's insufficient amount of share / Plaintiff's share of land. They bear the responsibility separately, not indivisibly.
Completion of Some Floors of a New Building and Acquisition of the Divided Ownership
Authors:   Korean Association of Aggregate Building Law, Kim Sung Wook
Published: November 2022

The title of this thesis is ‘Completion of Some Floors of a New Building and Acquisition of the Divided Ownership’. It would be difficult at the present moment to predict exactly what problems may arise in the future. However, there should be efforts to find solutions for problems related to regulation of public order so that the risk of causing unreasonable consequences can be minimized. Since the divided ownership system is something that is being newly developed, a thorough examination of past problems can lead to a future's adhesion contract system that is more rational and accords with substantial justice. I reviewed the timing of the establishment of divisional ownership in the process of new construction of a collective building. For example, I think that when the independent part of the first floor of a collective building is completed, separate ownership of the independent part of the first floor is established.
Development of NGA-Sub Ground-Motion Model of 5%-Damped Pseudo-Spectral Acceleration Based on Database for Subduction Earthquakes in Japan
Authors: Si Hongjun , Midorikawa Saburoh , Kishida Tadahiro
Published: November 2022

Presented within is an empirical ground-motion model (GMM) for subduction-zone earthquakesin Japan. The model is based on the extensive and comprehensive subduction database of Japanese earthquakes by the Pacific Engineering Research Center (PEER). It considers RotD50 horizontal components of peak ground acceleration (PGA), peak ground velocity (PGV), and 5%-damped elastic pseudo-absolute acceleration response spectral ordinates (PSA) at the selected periods ranging from 0.01 to 10 sec. The model includes terms and predictor variables considering tectonic setting (i.e., interplate and intraslab), hypocentral depths (D), magnitude scaling, distance attenuation, and site response. The magnitude scaling derived in this study is well constrained by the data observed during the large-magnitude interface events in Japan (i.e., the 2003 Tokachi-Oki and 2011 Tohoku earthquakes) for different periods. The developed ground-motion prediction equation (GMPE) covers subduction-zone earthquakes that have occurred in Japan for magnitudes ranging from 5.5 to as large as 9.1, with distances less than 300 km from the source.

Published: November 2022

Objectives: Women’s empowerment is a crucial factor for economic and social growth. India being committed to making women contribute equally to the growth and development of the country by 2030 (under Sustainable Development Goal-5), this study aimed to highlight the major shortcomings in the domain of Women’s health and other social and economic growth parameters.

Methods: For this study, data related to various health and non-health parameters were used from largest survey in India i.e., National Family Health Survey factsheets. In reference to “the Global Gender Gap measure introduced by the World Economic Forum, the indicators have also been classified as 4 broad themes, for each of which, indicators were selected from NFHS factsheet for analysis, interpretation and reporting.

Results: With 2.9% increase in the child sex ratio from 991 to 1022 females per 1000 males over the last two rounds of NFHS indicates a significant societal shift in the country. Out of 21 selected indicators, 4 parameters namely Screening test for cervical and breast cancer, Marriage of women before 18 years of age and Anaemia amongst women have shown a negative change over the past 5 years. Changes in the rural areas are more significant as compared with that of Urban areas. 

Conclusion: The study found that although, we have made some progress on the metrics around health, education, economic and social empowerment parameters, to get an adequate assessment of developments, we need to expand the basket of indicators and analyse change in them holistically.

Authors: Orry Adrianus Mokola
Published: November 2022

Lebah merupakan insekta penghasil madu yang telah lama dikenal manusia. Sejak zaman purba manusia berburu sarang lebah di goa-goa, di lubang-lubang pohon dan tempat-tempat lain untuk diambil madunya. Lebah juga menghasilkan produk yang yang sangat dibutuhkan untuk dunia kesehatan yaitu royal jelly, pollen, malam (lilin) dan sebagainya. Selanjutnya manusia mulai membudidayakan dengan memakai gelodog kayu dan yang yang sangat dibutuhkan untuk dunia kesehatan yaitu royal jelly, popada saat ini dengan sistem stup.

Sarang lebah adalah sel-sel yang terbentuk hexagonal yang terdiri dari prisma hexagonal dan limas hexagonal yang dibuat dari malam lebah dan campuran perekat (propolis) yang berasal dari tumbuh-tumbuhan. Sarang lebah digunakan untuk meletakkan madu, tepung sari dan larva. Jumlah produksi madu ditentukan oleh banyaknya sel yang berisi madu. Untuk mengatahui jumlah produksinya, harus dilakukan perhitungan volume pembetuk sel yang dikalikan dengan jumlah sel yang berisi madu.

Karena tidak semua sel berisi madu maka diperlukan deteksi sel mana saja yang berisi madu atau sel yang berisi selain madu. Banyak cara untuk mendeteksinya salah satunya menggunakan image processing.

Dari hasil pengolahan Image processing maka akan diketahui jumlah sel yang berisi madu. Setelah diketahui jumlah selnya, tinggal dikalikan volume setiap sel maka akan diketahui hasil produksi madu dalam satuan milli liter (ml) untuk setiap sarang lebah.

La Desigualdad Social y su Espacio Urbano: una breve interpretación teórica
Authors:   Independiente, Miguel Ángel Vite Pérez
Published: November 2022

El objetivo del artículo fue el interpretar desde un punto de vista teórico la desigualdad social para establecer su impacto en la reorganización de la ciudad capitalista a través de un cambio presentado en sus actividades económicas. En un primer momento, fue la ciudad industrial, en un segundo momento, la ciudad postindustrial o de servicios, y en un tercer momento, la ciudad fragmentada o segregada, donde la inversión privada busco la creación de zonas exclusivas de consumo y de vivienda. La manera en que se procedió fue el de considerar que el sentido o significado de los hechos estudiados se obtiene de los puntos de vista teóricos utilizados y también de los sujetos que interactúan en el espacio urbano. El resultado obtenido mostró un probable vínculo entre la desigualdad social y la reorganización del espacio urbano, lo que indica que la desigualdad social tiene un significado territorial y no sólo socioeconómico.

Published: November 2022

Este artículo tiene como objetivo principal presentar la investigación en curso sobre los procesos de significación y apropiación intercultural objetivados en la danza conocida como “brinco” de los chinelos. Esta danza es representada en el espacio urbano, en los barrios del centro de la alcaldía de Xochimilco en la Ciudad de México, dentro de una dimensión simbólica del patrimonio cultural. Acontece en el marco de las festividades realizadas en torno de la imagen religiosa del Niñopa, considerada por sus habitantes como uno de los signos simbólicos articulados que conforman su patrimonio e identidad cultural. El estudio parte de un enfoque cualitativo, poniendo el acento en los significados y su sentido otorgado, para recuperar las construcciones narrativas de quienes participan de dichas festividades, al incorporarlas a un sistema de valores compartido, en las formas en que estos se reproducen desde su cotidianidad. Para el análisis interpretativo se utilizan los aportes teóricos de la semiótica de la cultura, de Iuri Lotman, y la reconstrucción narrativa de Jerome Bruner, para quien la modalidad narrativa de pensamiento es el pilar fundamental de construcción de sentido en el relato. Como conclusiones preliminares, se considera que el espacio urbano, los pueblos, y los barrios que conforman a Xochimilco como espacio semiótico, expresan las transformaciones y traducciones interculturales a partir del encuentro con otras culturas y, como resultado del diálogo e interacción, se articulan a sus referentes culturales tradicionales; así se semiotizan e integran como parte del mismo proceso dinámico y transformador de la cultura.
Professional Development through ODL during the Pandemic: A Comparative Study of India and Guyana
Authors: Priyadarshini Anita , Panda Santosh
Published: November 2022

The Covid-19 pandemic affected educational systems all over the world, leading to shift from face-to-face teaching-learning to a system of emergency remote learning. There are many studies that have examined the impact of these developments on conventional education as well as open and distance learning (ODL) systems. The present study is a transnational study of learners engaged in professional development in ODL institutions of India and Guyana. The study investigates comparative learner experiences with respect to four dimensions namely, quality of technology, engagement with teachers, student-student dialogue, and education-work-life balance while studying through virtual mode including in a cross-border learning scenario. // The study is a descriptive survey using a mixed mode methodology. The sample comprised 60 learners from India and Guyana enrolled in the Post Graduate Diploma in Distance Education (PGDDE) programme offered by the Indira Gandhi National Open University, India. The findings revealed that there were commonalities among learners in India and Guyana. Learners found live counseling sessions more engaging and interactive. It was seen that social media played a positive role in connecting learners during the pandemic and helping them to form their own learning communities. Learners in both countries felt that the education-work-life balance was disturbed during the pandemic. However there was determination among all learners to complete their online professional development programmes. This study will contribute to leveraging learners’ experiences for formulating future policy and designing practices for continuing professional development in developing countries for achieving SDG 4 for quality education.

A study was planned to estimate genetic, heritability and phenotypic trends for Kashmir Merino sheep of J&K. The present study was carried out to study the genetic and phenotypic trends of various wool traits of this breed to understand its progress over the years. Phenotypic, genetic as well as heritability trends were generated for fibre diameter, staple length, greasy fleece weight for clip 1 and greasy fleece weight clip 2 from Government Sheep Breeding Farms Kralpathri (1997–2016) and Goabal (2013–2016). Trend lines were generated as linear regression coefficients of mean breeding values, phenotypic values and heritability for animal’s year of birth. Trends obtained for phenotypic values for fibre diameter and greasy fleece weight at clip one were positive. For staple length and greasy fleece weight at second clip slope was found to be negative. Trends were significant for fibre diameter and staple length and insignificant for all other traits. Slopes for fibre diameter, staple length and greasy fleece weight for first clip and greasy fleece weight for second clip were 0.0126±0.0028, –0.052±0.0203, 0.00228±0.00618, – 0.01945±0.0119 respectively. It may, therefore, be concluded the genetic progress may have more or less stagnated over the years and that an effective selection strategy considering the genetic merit of animals may be adopted to sustain the sheep breeding programs for Kashmir Merino breed.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of glutamine (Gln) on blood biochemistry and activity of serum enzymes in broilers challenged with Salmonella enteritidis. 240 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were distributed into four groups treated in a completely randomized design for 21 days. The groups included a noninfection control (CON); infected with S. enteritidis (SCC); infected +0.5% Gln (Gln 1), and infected +1.0% Gln (Gln 2). The plasma total protein, albumin, and globulin concentration, AST, LDH and CK activity in SCC group were lower than the CON overall except the albumin at 14, 21 d, and CK at 14 d. SCC group had lower RBC at 7 d; lower MCHC at 14 d; higher MCHC, and MCH at 7 d, or 21 d; higher WBC at d 7, 14, and 21; higher γ-GGT activity at d 14, and 21than the CON group. Gln group had higher plasma total protein, albumin, and globulin concentration, AST, LDH and CK activity than those in SCC overall except the albumin at 14, 21 d, and CK at 14 d. Gln group had higher RBC at 7 d; higher MCHC at 14 d; lower MCHC, and MCH at 7 d, or 21 d; lower WBC at d 7, 14, and 21, and lower γ-GGT activity at d 14, and 21 than the SCC group. These results suggest that Gln could effective improve the physiological responses and maintain the normal health status of S. enteritidis infection of broilers.

Six growing buffaloes were exposed under natural ambient conditions (23±0.54°C) and in a climatic chamber at 42±1°C (exposure-I) and 44±1°C (exposure-II) with a relative humidity of 40±2% 4 h for daily for a period of three days continuously. Blood samples from these animals were collected before exposure and at the end of 4 h of exposure and analyzed for hematological parameters (RBC, WBC, Hb and PCV), enzymatic activity, viz. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) and cortisol hormone. The physiological responses, viz. RR, PR, RT and ST were also monitored at the similar interval. RR, PR, RT and ST increased significantly due to exposure at both the exposure conditions, but the magnitude of increase in these parameters were significantly higher at second exposure than first exposure. The hematological parameters decreased significantly with the exposure of animals for four hours at both the climatic chamber conditions. The enzymatic activities in blood plasma were significant higher after 4 h of exposure at both the climatic chamber conditions than natural exposure. The pre-exposure levels of cortisol were lower at natural (23±0.54°C) exposure compared to exposure at both the conditions. After exposure at 42°C and 44°C for 4 h, the levels of cortisol increased significantly over pre-exposure values. Exposure to elevated temperatures resulted in significant deviation in physiological, hematological, biochemical and hormone profile of growing buffaloes compared to natural exposure (comfortable temperature) indicating stressful conditions to growing buffaloes. Therefore, growing buffalo needs protection from heat stress conditions for maintaining homeothermy and diverting the available nutrients towards better growth.

Background: Aging as a physiological process has attracted the attention of many authors in publication of data about physiological and pathological changes that occur in organism. This study aims to express the latest data in literature about dental changes that occur as a result of aging, at component structures of oral cavity, associated with results in numbers of dental changes, comparing middle age and geriatric age. The study presents data recorded from the patients included in this study, about dental status and about systemic condition and systemic pathologies that patients suffer from. Data were recorded at different times, including a total of 93 patients. After clinical examination, endodontically treated teeth were initially recorded. The data about prosthetic treatment were recorded, divided into categories of partial or total prosthetic treatment. The systemic diseases from which patients suffer were recorded. Results: 78% of patients have natural teeth in oral cavity. The range of 16-25 teeth in oral cavity, i.e., 50-78% of mouth filled with natural teeth, includes 22% of patients: 5% of pre-geriatric age and 17% of geriatric age. Edentulism is present in status at level of 22%, while the lack of endo treatment is 39% even in clinical cases where deep caries was present in oral cavity. The presence in 78% of clinical cases with natural teeth is associated with 61% of these same cases of endodontic treatment. Fixed prosthesis is presented in 84% of clinical cases included in the study, while removable prosthesis, regardless of whether it is total or partial, is presented in 61% of clinical cases of the study. Conclusions: The comparison of middle age and geriatric age about collected dental data leads to results that clearly speak about the tendency for prosthetic replacements with both fixed prosthesis and removable prosthesis, placing emphasis the role of dental status at the whole organism. The significant increase in percentage of endodontically treated teeth is another value that speaks of the population’s awareness of dental care. The presence of natural teeth, expressed in numbers and percentages, is a value that reflects data on dental care over the years.
Exploring the Impacts of Social Media Usage on a Chinese International Student’s Identity Development
Authors: Xu Xiangting
Published: November 2022

International students’ experiences of studying abroad include constructing their identities in an intercultural context. While much scholarly work on international students’ identity development has concentrated on language learning and adaptation to the host culture, there has been limited investigation on how the usage of social media influence international students’ identity development. Social media, such as Twitter, has opened up a wide range of possibilities for cross-cultural engagement. Although Twitter is officially restricted in mainland China, it has become a popular and cross-national digital platform for Chinese students who study abroad. This paper responds to the need for intercultural research on social media by examining how the media shapes an international student’s identity. Informed by positioning theory, it chose the case of Wei, a Chinese postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh. By examining Wei’s identity position in her narrative about Twitter, the findings demonstrated that the arguments on Twitter would strengthen the students’ sense of national identity and responsibility of being an intercultural mediator. Furthermore, it implied that social media had a great potential for developing students’ critical intercultural thinking and intercultural competence.
Analysis of D-Amino Acids: Relevance in Human Disease
Authors: Armstrong Daniel W.
Published: November 2022

Small metabolic molecules often are chiral and can play important roles in regulating a variety of biological functions, occasionally providing information about the presence and progression of disease. The most ubiquitous class of such small molecules are amino acids. Sensitive and accurate analysis of the less prevalent D-amino acids as free entities or as constituents of peptides can be challenging, particularly when complex physiological matrices are involved. The number of studies involving low-abundance D-amino acids in biological systems has increased significantly over the last decade. Studies involving their presence and importance have become increasingly difficult to ignore. Their relevance in neurological pathologies, cancer, kidney disorders, and more, has advanced. Chiral separations have played and continue to play a central role in these studies. Because enantiomers and epimers have the same exact mass, stereoselective separations are essential. However, sensitive detection is also necessary because trace levels of these analytes are involved. Multidimensional separations often provide the best avenue for accurate qualitative and quantitative results. Future developments will involve faster and highly specific routine testing, particularly if these analyses are to enter the clinical realm.

Published: November 2022

Marine access in the Arctic Ocean is increasing due to the relentless retreat of sea ice driven by anthropogenic climate change. Longer seasons of marine navigation allow increasing marine use by a diversity of stakeholders and vessels. Progress has been made in protecting the Arctic Ocean through cooperation among the Arctic States and proactive advances within international organizations, notably the International Maritime Organization. Measures addressing Arctic marine safety and environmental protection have been developed and adopted. This paper reviews 12 strategies or pathways forward for implementing policy measures developed in an array of organizations to protect the future Arctic Ocean. Ten high priority recommendations, all near-term action items that are believed achievable, are also advanced toward protecting Arctic people and the marine environment in the twenty-first century.
