Authors: Saptoaji Prabowo Lucke Haryo
Published: October 2021

This article aims to examine the link between self-identity and foreign policy, particularly focusing on how state’s self-identity is built and sustained through policy. Using Indonesian development assistance policy through South South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) as a case study, this article finds that Indonesia self-identifies as a middle power country with strong affiliation towards developing countries as a result of national role conception processes. This self-identity in turn are built and sustained through SSTC development assistance policy, due to the suitability of role obligations as a middle power country with the values carried by the act of providing development assistance, as well as the deeply rooted historical dynamics of SSTC development policy with developing country status.

The pandemic situation experienced by the world are currently threatening food security in various regions including Indonesia. In these regions, the flow of traffic in the agricultural and fisheries sectors, from the means of production to the distribution of the harvest, is choked up due to social restrictions in various parts of the region. As a strategic step to reduce the impact on the agricultural sector, it is necessary to accelerate information to support the stability of production and also to distribute production results. Digital media in agriculture are needed to provide education with a variety of contents, such as technical production, marketing, and agricultural finance information. The Faculty of Agriculture of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) has supported digital information dissemination through the Desa Apps application. Desa Apps aims to be an application platform that provides agricultural extension and develops digital farmer communities. The information that has been carried out by Desa Apps so far includes agrocomplex sector (agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries) problems related to cultivation methods and obstacles faced in the land such as attack by plant pest and disease. As a digital media, the Desa Apps has educated farmer and aquaculturists. Optimization needs to be done to improve the performance of Desa Apps as a digital media, one of which is the marketing system that this application actually has. This study evaluates whether farmers and aquaculturists under the auspices of the Faculty of Agriculture are interested in being able to get education and at the same time be able to market their product directly to consumers with one application, the Desa Apps. The findings of the study showed that the pandemic period greatly affected the incomes of the assisted target community, and they required media that can help market their product. The decline in turnover due to pandemic conditions reached 70% with an average decrease of 39.2%. The method of selling products has changed from conventional to online sales by 20% of the total respondents. Changes in sales methods occurred due to distribution limitations due to regional and activity restrictions during the pandemic. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the Desa Apps application as a digital media to support food security.

Problems of customs control over the movement of hazardous waste across the customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union
Authors: Vorotyntseva Tatiana M.
Published: October 2021

Hazardous waste is a trigger of the environmental crisis, especially at the stage of increasing production and consumption of goods, leading to a significant increase in industrial waste and its movement across customs borders. The cross-border movement of hazardous waste is controlled by the state, customs authorities are entrusted with the tasks of protecting national security, human life and health, animal and plant life, the environment, including protection against the illegal import of hazardous waste. The transboundary movement of hazardous wastes is carried out within the framework of the permissive procedure. Such a unified licensing procedure has also been adopted in the EAEU with respect to the import into the customs territory, transit, export from the customs territory of dangerous wastes. This procedure assumes that the declarant submits to an official of the authorized body a license of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation or a permit for the transboundary movement of hazardous waste of the Federal Service for Supervision of Environmental Management. However, despite the efforts of the international community in the fight against hazardous waste, the dynamics of illegal movement of certain types of waste continues to grow, which indicates the existence of a number of unresolved problems. In the course of the study, the conceptual and categorical apparatus in the field of hazardous waste is analyzed, the main provisions of the procedure for moving this category of goods across the customs border of the EAEU are considered. The basis for national legislation in terms of the conceptual apparatus and regulation of the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes through the customs territory of the EAEU is the norms of international law, while a comparative analysis confirms the ambiguity of their recognition and classification in the EAEU member states. The analysis of the dynamics of the movement of hazardous waste, including used pneumatic tires and tires, showed that every year the problems of environmental protection become more acute. As a result of the study, specific problems in the field of transboundary movement of hazardous wastes were identified and recommendations for their solution were given.

Authors: Yen Philip M. , Young Andrew S.
Published: October 2021

The use of continuous insulin pump systems for effective management of glycemic control in the patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is steadily increasing. Although the types of devices and their respective manufacturers vary, insulin pumps all utilize similar underlying concepts based on the delivery of exogenous insulin to patients with T1DM in manners that more closely approximate the normal biologic function and performance of the pancreas. As insulin pumps becomes more commonplace and their use more widespread, the sedation or anesthesia provider must ensure familiarity with the basic knowledge of pump function and the various perioperative management considerations. This review provides a concise overview of the pathophysiology of T1DM, introduces foundational aspects of common insulin pump systems, and discusses several general recommendations regarding the perioperative management of insulin pumps during dental surgeries.

Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSWM) is a new and fast-growing business area that is becoming widespread in Ukraine. The fire accident at Lviv city landfill "Hrybovychi" forced the local governments to initiate work on its closure and reclamation. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the planned activity is the first mandatory step in this direction. The complex nature of EIA procedures requires a similarly integrated approach to identify hazards and develop a shared vision of existing risks. This is demonstrated by the analysis of two published EIA reports on remediation of "Hrybovychi" dump and the dangers that were not identified. Threats of additional groundwater pollution, causes of fire and consequences of negative impact on adjacent areas, the possibility of re-ignition of the landfill, the spreading of micro-particles (PM2,5), and formation of toxic compounds classified as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) together with their long-distance migration - these and other dangers were not identified and were not discussed with public organizations. The article aims at showing a scientific approach to identifying environmental hazards in combination with the social component - assessments of problematic activities for public health, which are often ignored in post-Soviet countries. Current and best practices of the Baltic Sea countries in this field are presented by an international team of university scientists. Analysis of critical observations and making recommendations for preventing, minimizing, and mitigating the adverse effects of an accident can help to improve the peer review and development of similar EIA projects.

Published: October 2021

A detailed analysis of literature sources on the content of fluorides in the environment, methods of conditioning and defluoridation of water was held. The mechanism of interaction of fluorides with zeolite in the process of adsorption treatment of wastewaters and domestic waters was clarified. It was first established that in the process of adsorption there is the formation of magnesium fluoride compounds due to the binding of cations extracted from the zeolite by the mechanism of ion exchange. The mechanism of chemisorption of fluoride ions by the formation of insoluble CaF2 was also proved. According to the results of experimental research, a technological scheme has been developed, which provides the preliminary treatment of fluoride ions in the form of complexes with aluminium. In order to prevent the permeation of aluminium fluoride into the treated water, a stage of adsorption water purification was proposed. Calculations of the amount of reagent necessary to ensure the required degree of purification of water from fluoride ions were done. The statistical parameters of the process and the significance of the obtained results were calculated. The coefficient of determination of experimental data was 0.87… 0.99, the standard deviation was 0.017… 0.026.

Authors: Elson Natalia , Brandes Irene , Resnick Steven
Published: October 2021

Despite the many historical events during the year 2020, this period of time will forever be remembered as the year of COVID-19. Since its onset in November 2019, The Sars-CoV-2 has made an enormous impact across all aspects of society across the entire world. Globally as of July 5th, 2021, there have been 184000000 confirmed cases of COVID-19, which tragically include 3980000 deaths.

Sars-CoV-2 is spread through the respiratory system with the primary modes of transmission being aerosol, respiratory droplets, and direct contact.

It is of great importance to understand that one of the primary modes of transmission, the aerosol (bioaerosol) mode is a mode that is omnipresent in most dental settings.

To prevent dissemination of disease in American dental offices, the CDC and the ADA have developed strict protocols for dental care providers to follow.

Protocols include case selection, protective equipment (PPE), Covid testing, procedure risk stratification, and reduction of aerosols. Laser-assisted dentistry has been identified as a potential key modality in the reduction of bio aerosols.
Optimal Voltage Compensation of Small Hydropower Grid Linked Structure Centered on PV-STATCOM Smart Inverter
Authors: Elgammal Adel , Ramlal Tagore
Published: October 2021

Alternative renewable energy structures for example hydro turbine generators can be utilised to replace or rise in the efficiency of energy distribution infrastructure in remote communities. A small hydro turbine linked to grid divides the load into current and electricity. The voltage amplitude in the energy distribution structure will be changed as a result of the power quality problem, and this will have a direct influence on the electric load. This study introduces the PV-STATCOM, a novel smart inverter that can be used to control a solar inverter as dynamic reactive power compensator (DRPC). The recommended photovoltaic STATCOM can be utilised to offer voltage regulate for serious structure demands. For the night, the whole inverter capacity is utilised for STATCOM operations. The smart inverter temporarily disables its real power generating function during a large system outage throughout the day and makes its whole inverter capacity accessible for STATCOM operation. This research examines the stability of the voltage control structure`s excitation in the Micro Hydro Power Plant. The MOPSO algorithm may be used to regulate the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine and control the voltage on the direct current linked part of system. The system will most probably be unstable if the exact definition of system parameters is uncertain. To present the parameter specifications for the stable structure, the DC-link control system is modelled, theoretically assessed, and simulated. This paper proposes the use of a particle swarm optimization centred SVC controller for reactive power optimization and adjustment in a separated hybrid system with micro hydro and wind diesel. The small linear signal model of the hybrid micro hydro Diesel wind model is investigated under various loading scenarios. The SVC controller is compared to the GA-based controller and optimised using the PSO approach. The purpose of study is to employ STATCOM for reactive power compensation in order to increase energy structure's dependable operating limit. It also tries to reduce voltage variations caused by renewable energy sources' variable nature. To obtain an acceptable outcome, the proper modification of Proportional–Integral parameters in STATCOM is conducted consequentially centred on BFA and GA. The STATCOM control circuit's PI controller's settings have been optimised. This article discusses the optimization and adjustment strategies for PID controllers in a STATCOM based circuit for PV-Micro hydro hybrid system voltage stability.

She also had a history of medulloblastoma treated 3 years ago. There was no significant family history. Biopsy from one of the lesions showed basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

Discussion: Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominantly inherited disorder caused by mutations in the tumour suppressor patched 1 (PTCH-1) gene. Patients present with both cutaneous and extra-cutaneous manifestations. Multiple basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) are one of the most frequent cutaneous manifestations, occurring on both photo-exposed and non-exposed areas. The commonest extra-cutaneous tumours are medulloblastomas, which are often the first presentation of the disease. There are multiple but no established treatment modalities for the disease.

Reaction rate material is facts, concepts, calculations and practicum. Learning requires teaching materials to help students find their own concepts starting with contextual problems, one of which is PBL-based LKPD, because it can help students understand concepts through problems so that students are required to think more actively. The research aims at producing alternative teaching materials (helping active students in understanding the material) and determining the validity category. The type of research is R and D with a 4-D model, define, design, develop, and disseminate (not done). The study was limited to the validity test with the research instrument, namely the validity questionnaire. The data collection technique was carried out by distributing questionnaires. The research data by five expert validators were analysed using the Cohen kappa formula. Based on the analysis, the resulting LKPD with a very high validity category is 0,83.

Spatio-Temporal Analysis Of Urban Expansion And Future Growth Patterns Of Lahore, Pakistan
Authors: Nasar-u-Minallah Muhammad , Zia Sahar , Rahman Atta-ur , Riaz Omer
Published: October 2021

Lahore, a metropolis and 2nd largest city of Pakistan, has been experiencing rapid urban expansion over the past five decades. The socio-economic development and growth of the urban population have caused the rapid increase of urban expansion. The increase in the built-up area of Lahore has seen remarkable growth during the past five decades. This study is aimed at detecting the Spatio-temporal changes in land use land cover and evaluating the urban expansion of Lahore since 1973. The conversion of land to other uses is primarily because of growth in urban population, whereas the increase in economic activities is the central reason for the land-use changes. In this study, temporal Landsat imageries were integrated with demographic data in the GIS environment to quantify the spatial and temporal dynamics of land use land cover (LULC) changes and urban expansion of Lahore city. The supervised image classification of maximum likelihood algorithm was applied on Landsat MSS (1973 and 1980), TM (1990), ETM+ (2000), TM (2010), and OLI/TIRs (2020) images, whereas a postclassification comparison technique was employed to detect changes over time. The spatial and temporal analysis revealed that during the past five decades, the built-up area of Lahore city has expanded by ~ 532 km2. It was found from the analysis that in Lahore city the urban expansion was primarily at the cost of loss of fertile agricultural land, vegetation, and other cultivable land use. The analysis further revealed that the structure and growth pattern of Lahore has mainly followed road network and linear expansion. The results indicate that this accretive urban expansion is attributed to socio-economic, demography, conversion of farmland, rural-urban migration, proximity to transportation routes, and commercial factors. This study envisions for decision-makers and urban planners to devise effective spatial urban planning strategies and check the growth trend of Lahore city.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotic technologies have recently been increasingly used in various areas of human activity. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to consider the medical, social and economic aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in various spheres of human activity. The reason for people turning to the above-mentioned innovations is to expand a number of human capabilities, increase labor productivity, reduce the negative impact of the human factor, etc. The social aspect of the use of robotic technologies should also not be underestimated. The economic aspects of the use of artificial intelligence and robotic technologies are the possibility of optimizing the number of labor resources, replacing a whole staff of auxiliary workers, which can significantly reduce the salary fund in general and the costs of a company using such technologies, in particular.
Does income inequality matter for CO2 emissions in Russian regions?
Authors: Davidson Natalia , Mariev Oleg , Turkanova Sophia
Published: October 2021

Research background: Intensive economic growth in Russian regions during recent decades has been associated with numerous environmental issues, particularly increasing CO2 emissions, as well as income inequality. To achieve sustainable development, it is necessary to resolve these issues.

Purpose of the article: To shed light on the impact of income inequality on CO2 emissions based on Russian regional data covering the years 2004?2018.

Methods: Gini index and decile dispersion ratio are used to measure income inequality. To study the impact of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the Russian regions, we estimate econometric models with fixed and random effects and apply GMM method. We test the hypothesis of the environmental Kuznets curve to determine the impact of economic growth on CO2 emissions.

Findings & value added: The results show that CO2 emissions increase in tandem with growth in income inequality between 10% of people with the lowest income and 10% of people with the highest income. Simultaneously, CO2 emissions decrease with growth of Gini coefficient. The hypothesis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve was confirmed based on GMM method. Our findings underscore that the activities of the extraction and manufacturing sectors, as well as energy consumption, increase CO2 emissions. The chief significance of this paper is the finding that large income gap between extremely rich and extremely poor population cohorts increases CO2 emissions. This implies that economic policy aimed at reducing income inequality in Russian regions will also reduce CO2 emissions, especially if accompanied by increased use of environmentally friendly technologies. From the international perspective, our research can be extended to study other countries and regions.
