Authors: Tira Hendry , Sutanto Rudy
Published: January 2024

The livestock sector's waste is a potential raw material for producing biogas because it is abundantly available. This experiment aimed to understand the potential of two types of livestock waste to produce biogas. The two sources of raw material were mixed with different variations. The results showed that the volume of fermentation gas produced from livestock waste varied depending on the type and composition of the raw material used. Mixing was done to determine the best variation in producing biogas from chicken litter and cow manure. The volume ratio of litter to cow manure used was (0%:100%), (25%:75%), (50%:50%), (75%:25%), (and 100%:0%), with a total volume of 2 liters. In addition, 10% of EM-4 (effective microorganism) was added to the mixture of livestock waste that had previously been given 2 liters of water. The waste mixture was then fermented for 30 days. The fermentation process was carried out under mesophilic conditions at room temperature and pressure. This study showed that the higher the concentration of chicken litter in the mixture, the higher the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio value. On the other hand, if there is a higher composition of cow manure in the mixture, the substrate pH value will be higher. Furthermore, a 50%:50% composition of chicken litter and cow manure produced a high volume of biogas. Similarly, the biogas formation rate in this composition showed the best performance. These results prove that the balance of carbon and nitrogen composition, temperature, and substrate acidity significantly affect biogas production.

The spatial impacts of Sudanese theoretical bases of development and the relevant designated policies
Authors: Samir Mohammad Ali Hassan Alredaisy
Published: January 2024

This research aims to clarify and discuss the spatial impacts of Sudanese theoretical bases of development and the relevant designated policies where it was revealed that both the development theoretical base and regional development policies have relevance to the many central problems of Sudan. They included disparate regional development; environmental degradation; rural impoverishment; the production of the agrarian duality of a modern and developed irrigated agricultural sector and a traditional and backward rain-fed agricultural sector; conflict over resources; food insecurity; and socio-political instability. This research views these problems as due mainly to the alienation of development planning from Sudan’s internal reality.

A cryptocurrency is a form of digital money that uses the blockchain technology and cryptography to protect the information about transactions and exchange made on the digital market. A cryptocurrency like Bitcoin consists of a big network that has many peers working on it and every peer has a record of the whole history that contains all the transactions that ever happened. Bitcoin is the most popular cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has attracted a lot of attention from individual and institutional investors. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the machine learning methods to predict Bitcoin pricing. Machine learning and its associated fields have made notable advances in recent years. Machine learning techniques is used in different areas of science particularly cryptocurrency price forecasting. Using this machine learning model, we can predict the price direction of Bitcoin. Machine learning methods have been demonstrated to be effective in predicting bitcoin prices. Few machine learning models to predict the Bitcoin price are Linear Regression, Logistic Regression, Bayesian Regression, Support Vendor Machine, Random Forest, Neural Network were discussed. Every method of machine learning has its own advantages and disadvantages, however from the literature analysis it is understood that the Artificial Neural Network and Support Vendor Machine have the highest effectiveness rate. Machine learning methods have higher prediction accuracy than parametric regression approaches.

Isolated lesions of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are rare and occur mainly in cases of concomitant lesions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and multi ligament lesions of the knee. We report the case of a 40-year-old woman who had an accident with direct impact on her knee. Initially, she was treated with a conservative attitude, but due to persistent varus knee pain, an MRI showed a total rupture of the LCL. We decided to treat it surgically with an IT band autograft measuring 16x2 cm. LCL rupture is a very rare event, usually occurring with concomitant injury to the ACL, PCL and other knee ligaments. It is potentially responsible for the painful instability and varus disorder of the knee, which increases compressive forces on the medial knee joint. Early preoperative diagnosis is recommended to prevent these complications. The aim is to present a successful surgical management of LCL rupture.
