Process-based flood damage modelling relying on expert knowledge: a methodological contribution applied to the agricultural sector
Authors: Brémond Pauline , Agenais Anne-Laurence , Grelot Frédéric , Richert Claire
Published: October 2022

Abstract. Flood damage assessment is crucial for evaluating flood management policies. In particular, properly assessing damage to agricultural assets is important because they are complex economic systems particularly exposed to floods. The modelling approaches used to assess flood damage are of several types and can be fed by damage data collected post-flood, from experiments or based on expert knowledge. The process-based models fed by expert knowledge are the subject of research and also widely used in an operational way. Although identified as potentially transferable, they are in reality often case-specific and difficult to reuse in time (updatability) and space (transferability). In this paper, we argue that process-based models, based on a rigorous modelling process, can be suitable for application in different contexts. We propose a methodological framework aimed at verifying the conditions necessary to develop these models in a spirit of capitalisation by relying on four axes which are (i) the explicitation of assumptions, (ii) the validation, (iii) the updatability, (iv) the transferability. The methodological framework is then applied to the model we have developed in France to produce national damage functions for the agricultural sector. We show in this paper that the proposed methodological framework facilitates an explicit description of the modelling assumptions and data used, which is necessary to consider for a reuse in time or for transfer to another geographical area. In this sense, this methodological framework constitutes a solid basis for considering the validation, transfer, comparison and capitalisation of data collected around models based on processes relying on expert knowledge. In conclusion, we identify research tracks to be implemented so as to pursue this improvement in a spirit of capitalisation and international cooperation.

The heart is the central and regulatory organ of the cardiovascular system, the study of the morphology of its bloodstream in humane and veterinary medicine is an important aspect for further diagnosis, prevention and treatment of heart pathologies. In all studied species, the heart is supplied with blood by the right and left coronary arteries, which, according to the species and breed features of the structure, can differ in the degree of their development. The study of the main branches of the coronary arteries and branches of the first and second order, together with their functional significance in the blood supply of a particular structure of the heart, is a topical area in modern veterinary morphology. The purpose of the study is to study the anatomical and topographic patterns of the left coronary artery of the heart of a Maine Coon cat. The object for the study was the corpses of Maine Coon cats at the age of three to five years. In total, five corpses of animals were studied, of which three cats (male) and two cats (females). The following research methods were used: fine anatomical preparation and making casts of heart vessels using Flexstep latex milk. In the course of the study, it was found that the blood supply to the heart of a Maine Coon cat occurs due to the right and left coronary arteries, the latter of which is dominant, from which it follows that this breed of cats has a left-coronal type of blood supply. In the region of the coronary sulcus, anastomotic branches depart from the branches of the left coronary artery, thanks to which the collateral path of blood supply to the heart of the Maine Coon cat closes. The interventricular septum of the heart is supplied with blood by the interventricular branch extending from the left coronary artery.

The dog is the most common type of pet. These are companion animals, shepherd dogs, and service animals, that is, they can perform many different functions, improving and simplifying human life. In turn, owners should closely monitor the health of their pet, including the reproductive system. Sterilization of female small domestic animals, including bitches, is an urgent issue of controlling their numbers, as well as preventing pathologies of their reproductive system. Currently, there are several basic techniques for performing ovariohysterectomy in bitches, namely, the ligation of ovarian vessels, their electrocoagulation using a bipolar electrocoagulator, by applying vascular clips. The purpose of this work was to comparatively characterize the methods of ligation of ovarian vessels in female ovariohysterectomy and to search for the most effective, with the least complications and cheaper method of vascular ligation in ovariohysterectomy of service females. Endoscopic sterilization of females is carried out by LigaSure electrofusion (the technology of "soldering" blood vessels with electrosurgical instruments), so this method seems to be relevant when performing laparotomic ovariohysterectomy in bitches. In the course of the research, it was found that the ligation of ovarian vessels using the Ligash electrocoagulator is less traumatic, simpler, and the time of the surgical operation is reduced. During this manipulation, the contact of the surgeon's hands with the abdominal organs of the animal is minimized, which eliminates the occurrence of postoperative infections, tissue injury and pain after sterilization. This technique is carried out without the use of suture material, so there is no risk of complications in the form of its rejection or the development of an adhesive process.

Biological additives, biocоrrectors, mycotoxin eliminators favorably affect the quality and safety of the products obtained, as evidenced by a large number of studies, and also affect the immune status, therefore, the purpose of our study was to conduct an organoleptic evaluation of rainbow trout samples and find out whether the use of a humic acid-based drug affects such organoleptic parameters like appearance, color, consistency and smell. Feed additives have a beneficial effect on the quality and safety of the products obtained and affect the immune status. The purpose of our study was to determine the effect of the use of the drug "SmartBiotic", produced on the basis of humic acids, on the organoleptic characteristics of the products obtained.

Three groups of rainbow trout fingerlings (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were formed to conduct the study. One group served as a control, and the other two were experimental. The first experimental group of fingerlings received the drug at a concentration of 0.15%, and the second experimental group – at a dose of 0.25%. In the control group of rainbow trout, the drug "SmartBiotic" was not used. The determination of organoleptic parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) samples was carried out on the basis of the laboratory of the Department of Veterinary and Sanitary Examination of the St. Petersburg State University of Veterinary Medicine according to generally accepted methods and in accordance with the requirements of RNS 814-2019 "Chilled fish. Technical conditions", with the help of which it is also possible to identify the increasingly common falsification of products.

Published: October 2022

Refugees and asylum seekers are often the topic of problems between the receiving State and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as a mandate from the United Nations (UN) to protect refugees and help refugees find solutions to their situation. In order to minimize the impact of the existence of foreigners as illegal immigrants who later declare themselves as asylum seekers and refugees, it is necessary to have arrangements that provide equality and uniformity of direction in immigration handling and treatment. The implementing provisions of these regulations are derived from the Regulation of the Minister of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia Number M.05.IL.02.01 of 2006 concerning Rudenim which regulates temporary shelters for foreigners who violate applicable laws and regulations, especially in the field of immigration. For example, the protection status of Rohingya refugees in Indonesia. This research uses a statutory approach, a conceptual approach, and a case approach.

Published: October 2022

Extradition is a path taken by countries that want to return criminals to the locus delicti country. Extradition is carried out based on an extradition treaty bilaterally or multilaterally, if there is no agreement, extradition can be carried out on the basis of good relations and if the interests of the country so desire. There are several guiding principles in the implementation of extradition in Indonesia, which are contained in Law no. 1 of 1979 concerning extradition. In addition, Indonesia is also one of the countries that ratify UNCATOC which in article 16 regulates or discusses extradition. The Directorate General of Immigration is a government agency that has duties and functions in terms of traffic of people leaving or entering the territory of Indonesia, in the implementation of these duties and functions there are intersections or benefits in the implementation of extradition which can provide information on Indonesian citizens or foreigners in terms of traffic of people. entering and leaving the territory of Indonesia, providing assistance in the form of travel letters to suspected perpetrators of crimes, including them on the list of prevention and deterrence, coordinating with state representatives abroad or immigration attaches in the diplomatic process, and much more. There for immigration is an institution that has an important role in the implementation of extradition because it relates to other countries which are included in the duties, functions, and powers of immigration.

Globalization on an international scale has an impact on progress in the fields of information technology, communication, and transportation, making borders between countries depleted or borderless. This has become a principle in the international legal order, especially regarding the concept of state sovereignty. Every country in various parts of the world has been guaranteed in international law and has the exclusive right to exercise the sovereignty of its country without being able to be intervened by other countries or any party. The sovereignty of a country is an absolute thing that cannot be ignored, because sovereignty is a sign of an independent and sovereign country. International migration that occurs has a positive impact, but sometimes creates a new problem. Like Human Trafficking or human trafficking. The author will discuss Human Trafficking in the perspective of immigration and international law, including the function of immigration as a government agency that oversees the traffic of people in and out of Indonesian territory in order to maintain state sovereignty. This research itself is based on juridical and empirical normative research, namely by elaborating each material followed by observing the study of existing policies and regulations. This is intended so that this crime, namely human trafficking, can be elaborated with existing national and international legal policies and from an immigration perspective.

Authors:   Korean Association For Corruption Studies, Min Kyoung Sun
Published: October 2022

Anti-corruption education is widely accepted as an effective tool for curbing corruption. However, due to a lack of data, the current literature has not yet been able to comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of anti-corruption education on corruption or integrity. Using the Integrity Assessment dataset and the Anti-Corruption Education dataset, this paper empirically tests the impact of anti-corruption education on the level of integrity amongst 51 public organizations in South Korea from 2014 to 2018. A fixed-effects model and time-lagged regression enable this study to capture the impacts of anti-corruption education on integrity. This paper finds that if ten percent of employees in a public organization receive anti-corruption education, then the level of comprehensive integrity within that organization will increase by about 0.8 points in the following year. This study also finds that in some conditions, anti-corruption programs have no effect on reducing corruption. These results suggest that anti-corruption education programs are indeed effective in fighting corruption. Public workers should participate in anti-corruption education programs regularly because the program's impact does not last long. Anti-corruption programs should be developed to increase external integrity and internal integrity.

A stability indicating UHPLC method has been developed to analysis of Dolutegravir (DLT), Lamivudine (LVD), and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF). The separation was achieved by using UPLC BEH C18 (150mm 2.1mm) with 1.7 µm particle size column at ambient temperature using solvent system in a proportion of (40:60% v/v) acetonitrile:water; pH 6.5 was adjusted with 0.1% OPA. The solvent system was filtered prior to the start of the chromatographic analysis through a 0.2μm membrane (Ultipor N66 Nylon 6, 6) and sonication of it for 20min. A 10μL of fixed volume (working solution) was injected and the chromatogram was studied at a detection wavelength of 262 nm. The proposed method was validated in terms of Linearity, Accuracy, Precision, Ruggedness, Robustness and stability studies. The chromatographic analysis time was approximately less than 3 minutes with complete resolutions of DLT (Rt = 1.35min), LVD (Rt = 0.69min) and TDF (Rt = 2.36min). The method exhibited good linearity range, 3-18 μg/mL, 10-60 μg/mL and 10-60 μg/mL of DLT, LVD and TDF respectively. The % amount of DLT, LVD and TDF in marketed formulation were recorded to be 99.59 ± 0.44, 99.81 ± 0.48 and 99.47 ± 0.59 respectively. The force degradation studies were performed as per ICH guidelines under the acidic, alkali oxidative and neutral conditions for different times. Therefore the developed UHPLC method can be applied for routine qualitative and quantitative analysis of DLT, LVD and TDF in bulk and pharmaceutical formulation and validated as per theICH guidelines and could be employed for the stability studies on pharmaceutical preparation within pharmaceutical industry.

Published: October 2022

Amoebiasis is an infection of the large intestine caused by Entamoeba histolytica. Tinidazole is the preferred drug used in the treatment of intestinal amoebiasis. The conventional tablet dosage form provides minimal amount of drug in the colon with undesirable adverse effect due to variation in the transit time. Hence, to target the drug directly to the site of action in the colon, there is need to develop colon targeted drug delivery systems that will enhance the therapeutic drug level, increases the bioavailability of active medicament and reduce the dose of drug. The fast disintegrating core tablet of Tinidazole was prepared by direct compression method. The core tablet was evaluated for hardness, thickness, Friability, weight variation, drug content, in vitro disintegration time and in vitro drug release studies. Using the optimized formulation (C3), different formulations (F1-F6) of coated tablet was prepared by using different polymers like chitosan and xanthan gum. The formulated coated tablet were evaluated for various parameters like for hardness, thickness, Friability, weight variation, drug content, swelling study and in vitro dissolution study. The optimized formulation F3 shows 6.24% drug release in Stomach and Small Intestine and maximum drug release up to 96.53% in the colon. The kinetic data analysis of formulations indicated that it fits to Korsmeyer -Peppas Model and follows zero order release kinetics. The mechanism of drug release from the tablet followed non-Fickian (super case-11) transport. The stability studies of the optimized formulation were investigated as per ICH guidelines. There were no significant changes in thickness, hardness, weight variation, friability, drug content and in vitro drug release. These findings suggest that compression coated tablet using polysaccharide carriers provide more site specific delivery, reduced degradation and release of drug in stomach and small intestine.

A Homokhátságon gazdálkodó néhány állattenyésztő gazdaság kilátásai, nehézségei

Published: October 2022

Egy korábbi, 2017-2018-ban végzett primer kutatásom középpontjában a Homokhátságon gazdálkodó fiatal gazdák álltak. Választásom akkor azért esett erre a területre, mert véleményem szerint az itt gazdálkodók egyre súlyosbodó speciális problémákkal, kihívásokkal néznek szembe, melyek kifejezetten a vizsgált területre jellemzőek. A gazdákhoz akkoriban a hólabdamódszer segítségével jutottam el. Jelenlegi célkitűzésem az volt, hogy az akkor állattartással illetve vegyes gazdálkodással foglalkozó néhány homokháti gazdához visszalátogassak és megkérdezzem őket arról, hogy milyen változások érték azóta a gazdaságukat, hogyan látják az állattenyészés jelenlegi helyzetét, milyen nehézségekkel kell szembenézniük, milyen mértékben sújtja gazdaságukat az aszály, a növekvő takarmány- és terményár, milyen tényezők befolyásolják a gazdaságuk jövőjét, akár fennmaradásukat, milyen tényezők jelentenek kockázatokat. A jelenlegi látogatásom során megállapítottam, hogy az állatbetegségek megjelenése (madárinfluenza, afrikai sertéspestis), a felvásárlási árak változásai és a takarmány-és terményárak alakulása, a birtoknagyság mind meghatározzák a meglátogatott gazdaságok jövőjét. A meglátogatott gazdák többsége ugyan nem tervezi az állatállomány bővítését, a jelenlegi állomány megtartása vagy minimálisra csökkentése a cél, de ezt nagymértékben befolyásolja a gazdaság állattenyésztési ágazata. Az állattartással egyik gazdaság sem szeretne teljesen felhagyni, a sertéstenyésztéssel foglalkozó gazdák is inkább kivárnak és a kocaállományt részben csökkentik, nem a teljes állományfelszámolás a céljuk. A húsmarhatartás számára kedvező, ha extenzív körülmények között tudják tartani az állatokat és az év jelentős részében a legeltetéses állattartás megoldható. A tejelő szarvasmarha tartással foglalkozó gazdaság a modernizálásban látja a jövőt, mivel a munkaerőhiány jelentős a mezőgazdaság ezen szegmensében is. A korábbi látogatásom során is nehézségként említették a fiatal gazdák a termőföld vásárlást, ami napjainkra még inkább jellemző és érezhető. A gép és eszközállomány bővítését és modernizálását mindegyik gazdaság a tervei között szerepelteti, aki elavult gép és eszközállománnyal rendelkezik, igyekszik azt fiatalítani, korszerűbb, modernebb eszközökre cserélni. Összességében nem egyértelmű, hogy javult-e a helyzetük az eltelt évek alatt, azonban bizakodásra ad okot, hogy bővíteni kívánják gazdaságukat vagy legalább is folytatják tevékenységüket.
АНАЛИЗ И ВЫБОР ТИПА ИНВЕРТОРОВ СОЛНЕЧНЫХ ЭЛЕКТРОСТАНЦИЙ ПО КРИТЕРИЮ ФОРМЫ КРИВОЙ НАПРЯЖЕНИЯ

Фотоэлектрические (или вольтаические) солнечные электростанции непосредственного преобразования солнечной энергии в электрическую получили широкое распространение. Преобразование выполняется посредством солнечных панелей и полупроводниковых инверторов постоянно-переменного тока. Электрическая энергия передаётся в электрическую сеть. Величина напряжения на выходе панелей зависит от интенсивности солнечного облучения панелей и, в зависимости от природных условий, изменяется от нуля до номинальной. Это нерегулярное напряжение постоянного тока с выхода панелей посредством инвертора преобразуется в переменное напряжение синусоидальной формы со стабилизированным напряжением и частотой сети. Параметры электрической энергии, генерированной солнечными панелями, и параметры электроэнергии, потребляемой сетью, принципиально не совместимы по роду тока, отклонению формы напряжения от синусоидальной, величине и отклонению напряжения. Согласование параметров генерации электрической энергии солнечными панелями и параметров потребления электроэнергии сетью должно выполняться инвертором. Это является важной функцией инвертора и определяет выбор его типа. В настоящее время на солнечных электростанциях предпочтение отдается инверторам напряжения, а не инверторам тока, что недостаточно обосновано. С целью обоснования выбора типа инвертора на основании разработанной программы посредством спектрального анализа исследуются формы генерированного напряжения, их искажения относительно синусоидальной и частотные спектры сравнительно для инвертора напряжения и инвертора тока. Определяются величины коэффициентов искажения. Обосновано, что инверторы тока обеспечивают меньшие искажения напряжения относительно инверторов напряжения – более чем в два раза, как для фазовых, так и для линейных напряжений. Установлено, что в солнечных электростанциях по критерию искажения формы выходного напряжения и коэффициенту полезного действия более целесообразно использование инверторов тока, нежели инверторов напряжения.
An Attempt at Codifying the Equitable Doctrine of Unconscionable Dealings
Authors: Svantesson Dan
Published: October 2022

This article is written in honour and in memory of my dear colleague the late Professor Denis Ong — a talented, hard-working, and deservedly leading, authority on equity. Here, I seek to articulate a potential ‘codification’ of the equitable doctrine of unconscionable dealings. While I have been advocating a reform-oriented codification of Australia’s contract law, including the equitable doctrine of unconscionable dealings, for almost 15 years, the ambition of this article is limited to a restatement of lex lata.

On my path to that goal, I start by providing a brief overview of the origins of the equitable doctrine of unconscionable dealings. I then proceed to discuss Professor Ong’s view of the equitable doctrine of unconscionable dealings before I engage with the modern key cases on the topic. Having outlined my proposed codification of the equitable doctrine of unconscionability, I then say a few words about the relationship between the equitable doctrine of unconscionability and unconscionability under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), before concluding the article with some final observations.

A new environmental threat has been imposed by smartphone-generated e-waste as almost 4Billion people around the globe are using it randomly. People use and discard worthlesssmartphones with no regard for environmental damage or long-term sustainability. The largevolume of electronic waste (e-waste) generated from Smartphones is becoming a major concern inBangladesh also. The garbage from mobile phones is very harmful because it contains heavymetals that are detrimental to the environment and human health. The Medical WasteManagement Rules of 2008 address waste management challenges in the medical sector, includingsmartphone-generated e-waste along with Bangladeshâs National Environmental Policy of 1992and Environment Conservation Act of 1995. These policies are not adequate to mitigate pollutionand regulate the waste disposal and management system. The paper, after careful examination of theenvironmental impacts and existing policies, has recommended measures for an effectiveregulatory framework for the management and disposal of smartphones generated electronic waste.

Background: Electrocardiogram is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in modern medicine use to evaluate arrhythmias, with an estimated 300 million ECGs performed annually in the USA alone. Aim: The aim of this study to evaluate nurses' knowledge and practice regarding cardiac arrhythmia detected from Electrocardiogram. Methods: Tools of data collection are: Two tools were used as the following: Tool (I): Nurses' self-administered questionnaire, Tool 2 An observation checklist. Results: More than half of the studied nurses were females in age group from (17-24). About two thirds of the studied nurses were graduated from nursing institute, while only of them had a diploma in nursing. There was a statistically significant difference among the studied nurses knowledge, practices and ECG training courses. There was a negative correlation between nurses knowledge level, practices level and ECG training courses. Conclusion: Electrocardiography interpretation is very crucial for health care professionals. ECG is a non-invasive procedure which commonly formed in medicine and emergency departments. The results of present study showed that more than three quarters of the studied nurses had unsatisfactory knowledge level, while less than one quarter of them had satisfactory knowledge regarding cardiac arrhythmia detected from ECG.
ECMI Minorities Blog. How Moscow ‘Eliminates’ Its National Minorities in the War with Ukraine
Authors: Lossovskyi Ihor
Published: October 2022

As Russia is increasingly losing its military personnel in the war with Ukraine, the Kremlin is trying to make up for these losses in every possible way. Following a period of covert partial mobilization, since 21 September 2022 Russia has launched a partial mobilization; both involved disproportionately the male population from remote underdeveloped regions with concentrated populations of national minorities, particularly from the Far East, North Caucasus, Buryatia, Khakassia etc., as well as from the occupied areas of Georgia, Ukrainian Donbas, and Crimea. Conscription is much less common in Russia’s large economically and socially developed cities, where the majority of the population is ethnic Russian. The number of representatives of the poorest national minorities from remote regions of Russia who were injured or killed during the war disproportionately exceeds the respective share of ethnic Russians who have suffered the same fate. Beyond the economic reasons for the increased participation of minorities in the war, this disproportionality raises questions as to the intentions of Putin’s regime in sending these populations - rather than the Russian majority – to the frontlines.
