Author’s approach to the choice of software and technological basis for compilation a thematic interactive map of the Natural Reserve Fund of Ukraine (NRFU) in Poltava region was offered in the article. The content of relevant key concepts and tendencies of their progressive development under the conditions of scientific-and-technological advance were revealed. On the basis of working in a full-featured and multifunctional geoinformation systems (GIS) environment practical experience, the criteria for the selection of application software products suitable for the thematic interactive maps compilation, taking into account the peculiarities of information and software of the created database of NRFU objects were determined. They were: free distribution; freedom of manipulation with functionality; dynamic development; extended documentation support; interoperability. It was selected full-featured GIS – QGIS, the most optimal GIS that was installed on the technical system or that would be used to obtain a thematic interactive map of the NRF in Poltava region. For the most part, it was characterized the content of the corresponding cartographic working out, which consists of more than 200 objects, divided into 4 main categories of national and local importance (national nature park; nature reserve of national importance; natural monuments, botanical gardens and parks of national importance; territories and local nature reserve fund objects) that were displayed with the dot, line, and plane symbols in a certain electronic map-full zoom mode. The main principles of forming of the technical and technological component in the algorithm of compilation the modern types of cartographic works were determined and adapted to the interactive specified region NRF map development. There was constructed a structural and graphical model, which represented the system settings of the most active elements of the process, determining the technological way to obtain the eventual result (a product in the form of a cartographic product or service), and was carried out with the help of the necessary tools, organized into a corresponding technological scheme.
THE TYPIFICATION OF THE REGIONS OF UKRAINE BY POSSIBILITIES FOR SUSTAINABLE WASTE MANAGEMENT
Authors: Kononenko O. , Molodyka V.
Published: April 2020

Sustainable waste management is an urgent task for modern science and management practice. The search for effective governance mechanisms within the framework of this study was performed in accordance with the concept of sustainable development and circular economy. The transition to a sustainable waste management model is considered as an advancing process to increase the part of mass production and consumption waste which is returned to the manufacturing cycle. In this regard, the assessment of sustainable waste management in the regions should include the dynamics indicators on the main components of waste management. The methodology of this study is based on the generalization of sustainable waste management indicators, which have been analyzed at a certain point in time and in the dynamics as well. The regions of the country were grouped by waste management efficiency. The selected four groups of regions are located rather compact, they have common features in terms of production profile and waste structure. The typification of the regions of Ukraine was developed on the basis of grouping, as well as taking into account the specialization of regions in one or a few main industries, levels of urbanization of these regions. Five types of regions were identified: two types with a high share of municipal waste, regions with a predominance of industrial waste, and two types of industrial-agrarian regions where the waste of different types is generated with a significant share of agricultural waste. Regions of the same type are typically characterized by the similarity of waste management issues. These can be both traditional problems of accumulating large quantities of waste in landfills, as well as new challenges related to population migration, the formation of new administrative units (united territorial communities), which change the functioning of the current system of waste management. Significant differences in the main waste management indicators for different types require the use of similar (typical) approaches to the development of regional strategies and regional waste management plans.
Seismic Magnitudes, Corner Frequencies, and Microseismicity: Using Ambient Noise to Correct for High-Frequency Attenuation
Authors: Butcher Antony , Luckett Richard , Kendall J.-Michael , Baptie Brian
Published: April 2020

Over recent years, a greater importance has been attached to low-magnitude events, with increasing use of the subsurface for industrial activities such as hydraulic fracturing and enhanced geothermal schemes. Magnitude distributions and earthquake source properties are critical inputs when managing the associated seismic risk of these activities, yet inconsistencies and discrepancies are commonly observed with microseismic activity (M<2). This, in part, is due to their impulse response being controlled by the medium, as opposed to the source. Here, an approach for estimating the high-frequency amplitude decay parameter from the spectral decay of ambient seismic noise (κ0_noise) is developed. The estimate does not require a pre-existing seismic catalog and is independent of the source properties, so avoids some of the main limitations of earthquake-based methods. We then incorporate κ0_noise into the Brune (1970) source model and calculate source properties and magnitude relationships for coal-mining-related microseismic events, recorded near New Ollerton, United Kingdom. This generates rupture radii ranging approximately between 10 and 100 m, which agrees with the findings of Verdon et al. (2018), and results in stress-drop values between 0.1 and 10 MPa. Calculating these properties without κ0_noise produces much higher rupture radii of between 100 and 500 m and significantly lower stress drops (∼1×10−2  MPa). Finally, we find that the combined κ0-Brune model parameterized with these source property estimates accurately capture the ML–Mw relationship at New Ollerton, and that stress drop heavily influences the gradient of this relationship.

One of the old traditional methods of silvicultural management is coppicing. Many woody species produce new shoots successfully after coppicing. Regeneration of forest through coppice can be used for short rotation of tree to produce wood biomass for construction and fuel purposes. There are different levels of coppice practiced in Eucalyptus globulus plantation in the highland areas of North Shewa. However, there was no evidence or study which coppice levels can give high yield. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare yield of E. globulus at different coppice level in the highland areas of North Shewa, Ethiopia. Fifty sampled plots were purposively selected for this study. Volume, mean annual increment, stump height and diameter, stem number and harvesting age were determined from sampled plots. The results revealed that there was no yield difference (p> 0.05) between zero, first, second and third coppice levels. However, stump diameter and number of shoots per stump, stump height were significantly different among 1, 2, 3 coppice levels (p<0.05). Number of shoots were positively correlated with stump diameter and height (r = 0.77, r = 0.72) respectively. Farmers mostly coppice E.globulus from November to December and from April to June. Although statistically there was no yield difference between coppice levels, as farmers described the first coppice has higher yield than other coppice levels. The numbers of shoots per stump were higher in the second and third coppice and this could affect stem quality especially at early stage. Altogether the mean number of stems per hectare was 10812 which is higher than previous studies. Therefore, early silvicultural activities like thinning, early coppice management and pruning has to be done to increase wood stem quality and to promote growth as well.

Published: April 2020

Unplanned spatial development, unregulated migration, and changing energy consumption patterns are likely to increase the vulnerability to climate change of populations inhabiting in urban areas. This study aims to estimate urban exposure level and examine the inequalities in the availability of infrastructure and the provision of services in million-plus cities in India. Using data from Census 2011 for 40 million-plus cities, this study measured urban exposure through the urbanicity scale ranging from 0 to 70 points. The urbanicity scores revealed a transparent gradient in the level of urban exposure across these 40 million-plus cities, with the scores ranging from 45.59 (the lowest, in Meerut) to 61.47 (the highest, in Delhi). The economic activity scores were similar for all the million-plus cities, whereas the health infrastructure scores showed a wide variation from 1.0 to 8.8 points. Population, health, educational infrastructure, and built environment contributed the most to the inequality. Unless addressed urgently, these inequalities in infrastructure and services will affect the sustainability of these million-plus cities and may hinder the country’s achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 13 on climate change.

Published: April 2020

Background: Breast cancer is most common cancer in women. Although surgical and chemotherapy methods have improved survival, mortality is seen secondary to metastasis and recurrence. Neuroaxial anesthesia has been shown to suppress neuroendocrine stress response due to surgery with sympathetic blockade and has a positive effect on tumor recurrence. In this study, the hypothesis was regional anesthesia may have a positive effect on patient comfort, surgical success rate and complications in the short term, tumor recurrence and metastasis in the long term.Methods: Patients who underwent mastectomy for breast cancer were divided into two groups as thoracic epidural or general anesthesia retrospectively. Preoperative patient characteristics, intraoperative hemodynamic data and postoperative complications were recorded. Static and dynamic pain was evaluated at 12, 24 and 48 hours, at 1 week, 3 and 6 months, and at the end of 1 and 3 years. The presence of metastasis and recurrence was evaluated.Results: In this study, no relationship between recurrence and anesthesia type (p=1.0) could be found. Intraoperative hemodynamic data and pain scores were lower in patients who underwent thoracic epidural anesthesia.Conclusions: As a result, thoracic epidural anesthesia had hemodynamic effects and lower pain scores in postoperative pain control, but had no effect on tumor recurrence in breast cancer patients.

Authors: Sundaram Sankar , Kuriakose Ann Mili , P. Vijayan C.
Published: April 2020

Background: Progressive proteinuria implies worsening of the condition in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and hence its quantification guides clinician in making decision and planning treatment. The gold standard is 24 hour urine protein estimation. Urine sediment cytology, also known as ‘liquid renal biopsy’ identifies and analyses the extent of renal damage.Methods: Objectives of the study were to compare the efficacy of urine dipstick test to 24 hour urine protein estimation in detecting proteinuria in pre-eclampsic patients and to describe the findings in urine sediment examination in assessing proteinuria in above patients. Urine dipstick test and sediment cytology were performed on the urinary samples of 242 pregnant women with high BP recordings (BP>140/90 mm Hg) which were collected and tested in Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Kottayam during the study period of 18 months. This was compared with 24 hour urine protein values (gold standard).Results: About 154 patients (63.63%) had significant proteinuria of more than 300mg/24hr. Dipstick method showed 78.57% sensitivity and 81.82% specificity for prediction of significant proteinuria. Positive predictive value and negative predictive value of urine dipstick test were 88.32% and 68.57% respectively. Urine sediment examination revealed the presence of casts only in 11.98% of study population. Conclusions: Diagnostic accuracy of automated urine dipstick test in assessing proteinuria was 79.75%. For grade 1 proteinuria, diagnostic accuracy was 79.81%, for Grade 2 it increased to 93.14% and for grade 3 & 4, accuracy was 98.68%. Urine sediment examination didn’t correlate with proteinuria and hence the extent of renal damage in pre-eclampsia.

Published: April 2020

Background: Anorectal malformations (ARM) are congenital malformations of digestive system resulting from the disturbed development of hindgut during embryogenesis. ARMs involve both sexes; can occur either isolated or in association with other congenital abnormalities and may be associated with chromosomal abnormalities. Association of trisomy 21 with anorectal malformation is well documented. Present study was conducted to assess prevalence of association of trisomy 21 in patients with anorectal malformation.Methods: Total 48 children with diagnosis of anorectal malformation, who were admitted in Department of Paediatric Surgery, King George’s Medical University, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, were selected for the study. Blood samples were collected and their cytogenetic analysis was carried out in the Cytogenetics laboratory, Department of Anatomy, KGMU-U.P, Lucknow, India.Results: Among the 48 study subjects, karyogram could be successfully obtained for 45 cases (93.75%). Numerical anomalies were observed in 8.9% cases. Trisomy 21 was found in 6.7%. The prevalence of trisomy 21 was found to more in males (4.5%) as compared to females (2.2%). Prevalence was highest in birth order 3(20%), followed by birth order 2(7.14%) and lowest in birth order 1(3.85%). Trisomy in association with ARM; was observed in children born to females aged >30 years. It was found unrelated to the history of consanguinity.Conclusions: Prevalence of association of trisomy 21 with ARM was found to be 6.7%. This coexistence emphasizes the need for a thorough investigation of patients with ARM.

Published: April 2020

Purple Urine Bag Syndrome (PUBS) is a rare presentation of urinary tract infection caused by certain bacteria that produce sulphatases and phosphatases that bring about metabolism of tryptophan, leading to production of pigments indigo and indirubin that together impart purple colour of urine. It is a benign condition, most often associated with long term urinary catheterization, renal diseases, chronic constipation and female gender. Commonly implicated organisms include Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Providencia stuartii. Diagnosis is made on urinary culture. Treatment includes reassurance and antibiotics for UTI. We present a case of purple urinary bag syndrome in a female patient of carcinoma stomach presenting with gastric outlet obstruction.

Published: April 2020

Evans syndrome (ES) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the simultaneous or sequential development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and/or immune neutropenia in the absence of any underlying cause. Evans syndrome is a rare disorder although the exact frequency is unknown. No sex predilection is known and Evans syndrome has been described in all ethnic groups and at all ages. Classification of ES includes primary, with this being an exclusion diagnosis with no underlying condition, and secondary in the presence of an underlying disease. Clinical features are associated with anemia and thrombocytopenia including pallor, weakness, fatigue, jaundice, petechiae, ecchymosis, gingivorrhagia and epistaxis. First, a detailed history must be taken from the patient to determine the risk factors for developing ES then a family history of immune disorders along with a thorough physical examination. The management of Evans syndrome remains a challenge. Steroids with and without IVIG are recommended as front-line therapy. Red blood cell/platelet transfusion is indicated only in severe symptomatic patients due to the risk of exacerbations. Splenectomy may also be considered a second-line treatment.

Published: April 2020

Micronutrients are used in small amounts by plants and changes in metabolic processes of seeds can improve germination and vigor; however, little is known about the effects of the combination of Zn, Co, and Mo on corn seeds. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the application of Zn, Co, and Mo on the physiological potential of corn seeds of different sizes and levels of vigor. A randomized 2×2×3 factorial design was adopted, with two levels of vigor (high and low), two seed sizes (18 and 22 mm), and three doses of liquid fertilizer containing micronutrients (0, 2, and 4 mL kg-1). The physiological potential of the seeds was evaluated based on germination and vigor tests. High vigor corn seeds had greater physiological potential compared to low vigor seeds. Regarding size, small seeds (18 mm) had higher percentages of germination and vigor than the large seeds (22 mm). Seed treatment with micronutrients (Co, Mn, and Zn) resulted in improved emergence in the field, shoot length, and dry mass of large and small seeds with the application dose of 2 mL kg-1, and the application dose of 4 mL kg-1 enhanced emergence in the field of large seeds and germination after the cold test of low vigor seeds of both sizes.
On Applying of Equilibrium Stability Criteria for Systems of Differential Equations with Two Cosymmetries in Critical Cases
Authors: Kurakin L.G. , Kurdoglyan A.V.
Published: April 2020

Critical cases of equilibrium stability are considered for differential equations with two cosymmetries. Stability spectrum of such equilibrium consists of two spectral sets. The first is the non-trivial neutral spectrum that is on the imaginary axis. The second is a stable part of the spectrum that lies in the left half-plane. According to the general theory, research of the critical cases comes down to study of nonlinear model systems. To calculate the coefficients for such systems is a separate problem. Stability criteria for the model systems are described in the previous work of the authors. The purpose of given paper is to express the coefficients of Taylor’s series for model systems from such coefficients for the original equation. A usual algorithm constructing a model system consists of two coherent conversions of the original equation. The first is to form the reduction on the neutral surface for this equation. As a result its dimension is decreased to the neutral subspace’s dimension. Then the constriction is transformed to normal form to some finite order. The higher order terms are ignored. In this work the coefficients of the model systems are computed with the help of algorithm of V.I. Yudovich. It makes possible to unite both conversions into one. The obtained formulae for coefficients of model systems are independent of the original equation’s dimension. Thus it is applicable to systems of finite or infinite dimension and usable to realize using packages of analytical calculations.

The paper presents the results of monitoring the process of migration and fishing of the Azov khamsa in April-May and October-November, 2019. The research used daily maps of sea surface temperature (SST) of the Black and Azov seas, built in the hydrometeorological Center of Russia according to NCDC/NOAA (Operational module Yessim - hmc.meteorf.ru/sea/black/sst/sst_black.htm) and daily fishing information of the Center for Monitoring of Fisheries and Communications. It is shown that in the spring, khamsa clusters begin to disperse and move to feeding places after the water temperature reaches 11 °C, and at a water temperature of 14-15 °C, the fish becomes much more mobile and the clusters finally disperse. In autumn, the Azov khamsa began to concentrate in the pre-flood zone of the Sea of Azov at an average SST of 16-17 °C, with a SST of 14-16 °C, the khamsa went out into the Kerch Strait. The active output of the khamsa into the Black Sea began at the SST of the pre-flood zone of 15 °C and almost stopped at the SST of about 13 °C. The average SST in the Kerch Strait dropped to 11 °C these days.
On Small Oscillations Inside a Volcano Feeding System
Authors: Radionoff Anatoly A.
Published: April 2020

A simple analytical model representing one of the possible mechanisms for the occurrence of low-frequency oscillations in a feeding system of volcano has been developed. The model is presented for a cylindrical chamber filled with magma with Maxwell rheology. It is shown that damped harmonic oscillations in the magma flow velocity can occur in the volcanic chamber. These damped harmonic oscillations can appear as a reaction to remote seismic events or seismic events in the volcanic feeding system. The dependence of the oscillation frequency on the physical characteristics of the magmatic melt and the geometric dimensions of the volcano chamber is shown. The occurrence of magmatic oscillations can be observed near the surface as a volcanic tremor. The model is applied to the measurements result of low-frequency oscillations for the magma chamber of the Elbrus volcanic center.

Published: April 2020

The relevance of this study is determined by the wide prevalence in medical practice of biofilm infections caused, in particular, non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria with increased resistance to antibiotics and disinfectants. The aim of this study was to study the effect of disinfectants on biofilm formation of non-fermenting bacteria and to assess the possibility of using a mass spectrometric method to optimize the selection of disinfectants that affect the process of biofilm formation in non-fermenting bacteria. Results and conclusions. The drugs of choice for the reliable elimination of non-fermenting bacteria was hydro-gen peroxide and Ultradon, which microbially effect close to 100 %. The used solutions of disinfectants showed the same effect on the ability of non-fermenting bacteria to biofilm formation: the use of sublethal concentrations of these disinfectants led to a synchronous decrease in biofilm formation. The advantage of the mass spectrometric method of studying the sensitivity of non-fermenting bacteria to disinfectants is its objectivity, speed and ease of execution. The method gives an economic effect on time, labor and consumables compared to the traditionally used method of serial dilutions and the determination of viable clones of bacteria. Allows to investigate simultaneously sensitivity of cul-tures to different disinfectants on an assessment of denaturation of proteins with the subsequent change of mass spectrometric profiles.
The Civil War and Its Consequences for Russian Society
Authors: Venkov Andrey V.
Published: April 2020

Currently, the interpretation of the essence of such important historical events as the revolution of 1917 and the civil war in Russia continues. These events are also characterized as “turmoil” and “peasant war”. The author relies on the tools of the theory of socio-economic formations and analyzes the situation in the country after the civil war. The author points out that the social structure of society is extremely simplified, and this greatly affected the subsequent development of the country. The society, in its development over the next 70 years after the revolution, passed the stages resembling serfdom, the use of slave labor was repeated in the Gulag system, and finally, in the depths of the system, called socialism, capitalist relations objectively ripened. The author shows the events in the left-Bank Ukraine after the “Ruin”, as a similar situation, when society was simplified, rolled back to the level of military democracy, but then returned to the establishment of serf-dom. The author believes that the theory of socio-economic formation has been discarded by researchers, because in spite of it the society has moved from socialism to capitalism. The author believes that this is unfair, since there was no socialism in the USSR, and there was a still unqualified scientific period.

Authors: Hernández Cecilia
Published: April 2020

La inyección intracitoplasmática del espermatozoide (ICSI) ha permitido resolver problemas masculinos severos con excelentes resultados. Sin embargo, la difusión de su técnica llevó a la aplicación en casos donde no existe una indicación clara, desplazando muchas veces a la fertilización in vitro (FIV) sin suficientes argumentos. Esta revisión pretende, partiendo de conceptos fisiológicos de fecundación, llamar la atención sobre los eventos involucrados en el ICSI que transgreden dicha fisiología y constituyen grandes enigmas en cuanto a sus implicaciones en el desarrollo futuro. Las diversas observaciones descritas por los grupos de investigación básica dedicados a estos análisis, si bien no establecen un efecto indeseable inherente a la técnica, dejan abierta la investigación y permiten concluir que el ICSI es una técnica con claras indicaciones que no debe utilizarse indiscriminadamente.

RESUMOOs fármacos possuem um papel positivo e relevante em nossa sociedade, desde o combate as doenças até sua possibilidade de aumentar a expectativa de vida das pessoas. Por outro lado, há um aspecto negativo por contribuir com o aumento na geração de resíduos de serviços de saúde. Este artigo teve como objetivo caracterizar o descarte de medicamentos vencidos nas drogarias do município de Mossoró/RN, verificar se as drogarias possuem um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde e identificar iniciativas acerca de programas para evitar o desperdício de medicamentos. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que as drogarias geram os resíduos de serviços de saúde dos grupos B, D e E. O controle para evitar a comercialização de medicamentos que estão fora do prazo de validade é realizado por 86% das drogarias e mesmo percentual para os estabelecimentos que possuem Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde. As iniciativas das drogarias para reduzir a geração de resíduos classe B através da comercialização de medicamentos fracionados ocorrem em 33% dos estabelecimentos. Apesar de verificar que 86% das drogarias de Mossoró apresentaram o Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde é preciso melhorar os níveis de eficiência e eficácia no processo de operacionalização para gerenciar o descarte de medicamentos vencidos gerados e integrar indústria farmacêutica e consumidores na responsabilidade compartilhadas pelo ciclo de vida dos medicamentos.

O bioma Cerrado possui em sua fitofisionomia a Vereda, um subsistema conhecido popularmente como brejo, lagoa, buritizal, nascente ou ainda curso d'água. O recurso hídrico é decorrente das áreas de exsudação do lençol freático e da presença de espécies endêmicas como o buriti, Mauritia flexuosa Martius. No Brasil a legislação prevê, desde a década de 1950, com o Código Florestal a proteção permanente das Veredas. Apesar de serem consideradas Áreas de Preservação Permanentes, as áreas têm sofrido com as ações antrópicas provenientes das atividades agropecuárias, industriais e urbanas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi localizar, georreferenciar e aplicar um teste rápido nas Áreas de Preservação Permanentes dentro do perímetro urbano de Uberaba MG e verificar a eficácia do Poder Público em provir às necessidades básicas para a conservação. O resultado encontrado foi a perda da biodiversidade, uso e exploração dos recursos hídricos, retirada da vegetação nativa, lançamento de esgoto e água pluvial em nascentes.

A METODOLOGIA DE PRODUÇÃO MAIS LIMPA (P+L): UM ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA INDÚSTRIA DE CURTUME
Authors: Santos Pedro Vieira Souza , Araújo Mauríliio Arruda de
Published: April 2020

A Produção Mais Limpa (P+L) comporta-se como uma ferramenta útil para o desenvolvimento sustentável através da aplicação contínua de uma estratégia de cunho ambiental e preventiva integrada aos processos, produtos e/ou serviços, de modo a reduzir os riscos para os seres humanos e principalmente, para o meio ambiente. Assim, no ambiente industrial, diversos segmentos apresentam os mais variados níveis de impacto ambiental de acordo com aspectos particulares de cada processo. A indústria do couro é um exemplo de ramo industrial que emprega grande quantidade de insumos poluentes e geram alto risco ao meio. Portanto, este artigo visou apresentar as vantagens da utilização da P+L no processo produtivo de um curtume, por meio da identificação de oportunidades de melhoria em pontos críticos, evidenciando os possíveis ganhos econômicos e ambientais provenientes desta metodologia. Constatou-se que a aplicação da P+L é de fundamental importância para as indústrias, pois tem por objetivo a otimização da aquisição de matérias primas, água e energia elétrica, reduzindo as despesas operacionais, além de buscar soluções rentáveis para a redução da geração dos rejeitos. No caso específico dos curtumes, esta metodologia P+L é altamente indicada pelo fato de que são indústrias altamente consumidoras de água, energia elétrica, produtos químicos e enfrentam sérios problemas com a geração de efluentes.

[Bahasa]: Jempong Timur merupakan lingkungan paling padat di wilayah Kelurahan Jempong Baru Kecamatan Sekarbela Kota Mataram. Populasinya mencapai 1.659 jiwa.  Dari aspek ekonomi, sebagian besar warganya terbelit masalah kemiskinan. Kondisi ini dipandang sebagai penyebab munculnya stigma lingkungan tersebut sebagai “wilayah hitam” dalam perspektif sosiologis. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, pelatihan ini dikelola dengan menempuh berbagai strategi pra-pelaksanaan dan pelaksanaan. Strategi pra-pelaksanaan berupa kajian demografi, audiensi dengan pemerintah dan aparat Keluraharan, melakukan pendekatan dan kerja sama dengan pihak-pihak terkait, dan menyusun perencanaan pelatihan berdasarkan analisis kebutuhan personal, serta mempersiapkan materi, bahan, dan sarana pendukung. Sementara strategi pelaksanaan berkaitan dengan model pelatihan yang ditempuh berupa model pelatihan Off The Job Training dengan teknik informasi 30 % dan simulasi 70 %. Dengan strategi tersebut,  pelatihan ini berhasil dalam tiga domain, yakni: 1) kognitif: a. peserta mampu menjelaskan jenis-jenis kawat yang digunakan sebagai bahan untuk membuat perhiasan; b, peserta mampu menjelaskan fungsi dan kegunaan berbagai jenis kawat dan mampu membedakan antara jenis kawat yang satu dengan kawat lainnya; c, peserta mampu menyebutkan jenis-jenis tang (peralatan) dan mampu menjelaskan kegunaannya; d, peserta mampu menyebutkan berbagai bahan yang dibutuhkan dalam pembuatan perhiasan dari kawat sesuai dengan jenis perhiasannya. 2) Psikomotok: Peserta mampu menggunakan tang secara tepat dan benar. Selanjutnya, mereka berhasil membuat perhiasan berupa kalung dari kawat. Namun, hanya enam orang peserta yang mampu membuat perhiasan yang dimaksud dengan kualifikasi sangat baik; 3) Afektif, sebagian peserta memiliki sikap positif berupa sikap kemandirian, kerja sama, sabar,  tidak mudah menyerah dan optimis. Keberhasilan mencapai sikap dimaksud terlihat  dari keterlibatan mereka selama proses pelatihan berlangsung.

C’est en juin 1984, au cours d’une réunion du Bureau des Productions Animales de l’INRA consacrée aux publications, qu’est née l’idée d’une revue de transfert dans le domaine animal. Extrait du compte-rendu (18/06/84) : «Il a été décidé d’étudier la création d’une revue des Productions Animales par élargissement du Bulletin de Theix […]. Un comité est chargé de mettre l’opération en place, sous la responsabilité de C. MALTERRE (Elevage des Herbivores, Theix), avec des représentants des divers secteurs et centres concernés : B. SAUVEUR (Aviculture, Tours), J.-M. PEREZ (Recherche Porcine, Rennes), B. CHEVASSUS (Hydrobiologie, Jouy), R. FENSTERBANK (Pathologie, Tours)».

Maîtrise des rejets de phosphore dans les effluents d’élevage
Authors: MESCHY F. , JONDREVILLE C. , DOURMAD J.Y. , NARCY A. , NYS Y.
Published: April 2020

La maîtrise des rejets de phosphore (P) dans les déjections animales passe par une meilleure connaissance des besoins des animaux et de l’utilisation de l’apport alimentaire de P. Les méthodes d’étude sont un peu différentes chez les animaux monogastriques (porcs et volailles) ou les ruminants. En règle générale, la détermination des besoins repose sur une démarche factorielle (estimation des dépenses d’entretien et de production) ; toutefois, une méthode plus globale peut être appliquée chez les monogastriques (optimisation de la minéralisation osseuse). L’intégration des connaissances a permis de préciser les systèmes, l’expression des besoins (et des apports) passant de P total à P digestible apparent (porcs) ou absorbé réel (ruminants). L’évaluation de l’efficacité digestive de l’apport alimentaire de P nécessite, chez le monogastrique, la prise en compte de l’utilisation du phosphore phytique. Cette dernière peut être très différente selon l’activité phytasique propre des constituants du régime, l’utilisation de phytases microbiennes et l’éventuelle dénaturation des phytases lors de la granulation des aliments. Pour ces raisons, deux valeurs de P digestible apparent (activité phytasique intacte ou dénaturée) figurent dans les tables INRA-AFZ ; de plus des équations sont proposées pour tenir compte de l’incorporation de phytase microbienne. Pour les ruminants, la compilation des données de la littérature a permis d’établir un coefficient d’absorption réelle de P pour les grandes catégories d’aliments (phosphates concentrés et fourrages). Ces démarches, en permettant une meilleure adéquation des apports aux besoins doivent se traduire par une réduction substantielle des rejets de phosphore dans les effluents d’élevage.
