Equine piroplasmosis is a natural tick-borne infection caused by hemoprotozoan parasites of the order Piroplasmida, Babesia caballi and Theileria equi. Animals that recover from piroplasmosis remain persistently infected carriers and can transmit pathogens to vector ticks. Cases of equine piroplasmosis are periodically observed in Siberia, however, no agent of equine piroplasmosis has yet been genetically characterized in Russia. The aim of this work was studying the prevalence of the infectious agents of piroplasmosis in horses from Siberia and genotyping the detected agents. Blood samples from 155 horses were examined for the presence of Babesia and Theileria DNA by nested PCR with the subsequent sequencing of positive samples. DNA of T. equi was found in blood samples from 57.9 %, 38.5 % and 65.0 % of horses from Novosibirsk province, Irkutsk province, and the Republic of Altai, respectively. T. equi DNA was found in the samples from almost all sampling sites included in this study, indicating that most of the studied sites are endemic for equine theileriosis. Surprisingly, DNA of B. caballi was not found in any of the samples examined, even though this agent had previously been detected in many regions in Russia, including Altai. The analysis of the determined 18S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that T. equi samples belonged to two genetic groups, which differed significantly by the sequences of the variable (V4) region of the gene. All T. equi sequences from group B were identical and corresponded to T. equi sequences found in the blood of horses from China and Korea, while T. equi sequences from group A differed by 1–5 nucleotide substitutions and were identical to the sequences from the blood of horses from India and Brazil or differed from them by single mismatches. Notably, in this study the presence of etiological agent of piroplasmosis in blood samples from horses in Russia was genetically confirmed for the first time.

Published: April 2018

The genus Oxytropis DC. is one of the largest genera in the Fabaceae family. The most plant species belonging to the Oxytropis genus have an important medicinal value. Currently the botanical taxonomy of the genus is complicated due to existence of many subgenera and sections that developed based on morphological traits. Also, in the literature there is luck of knowledge on phylogeny of Oxytropis species from Central Asian region. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was the clarification of taxonomic relationship of two Oxytropis species from SouthEast of Kazakhstan (O. almaatensis Bajt. and O. glabra DC.). The study was based on using phylogenetic analysis and haplotype network assessment based on sequences ITS (internal transcribed spacers), which is DNA marker of nuclear genome. Plant materials of O. almaatensis were collected from 2 populations in two neighboring Gorges in Trans Ili Alatau Mountains, O. glabra plant material was obtained from Herbarium of the Department of Biodiversity and Bioresources, al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Based on DNA sequences of ITS the phylogenetic and network relationships were investigated by using Neighbor Joining and Median Joining methods, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of ITS of O. almaatensis and O. glabra were aligned with sequences of 29 Oxytropis references found in the NCBI database. Out of the 601 aligned positions of ITS 33 (5.6 %) sites were found to be polymorphic nucleotides and used in evaluation of the genetic relationship of species. Constructed MJ haplotype network showed a very high congruence with the NJ phylogenetic tree. MJ network provided valuable additional hints in clarification of the taxonomic relationship among species involved in the analysis. In this study phylogenetic NJ tree and MJ network based on the variation of ITS sequences confirmed the monophyletic origin of the genus. The ITS haplotype network suggested that O. glabra is very diverse species and possibly played important role in the evolutionary processes of the genus in Central Asian region. The study is additional contribution in the molecular taxonomy of complex Oxytropis genus.

Abstract: All children experience the process of growth and development in life. In order to reach optimal development, the child needs to get the appropriate stimulation provided with the right method. At the age of 0 to 7 years, children learn to use limbs so that the most appropriate stimulation for children aged 0 to 7 years is to use limbs as a medium of learning. This is in line with the techniques performed on sensory integration programs. But unfortunately not many parents know this. This issue often creates problems in child development. The purpose of this community service is to raise the awareness of parents to conduct teaching and learning process in ways appropriate to the age and stages of development owned by children so that children can be optimally developed. This activity is done by making activity planning, determining the location of activities and doing psychoeducation program on the parents of children at Darul Syifa Wal Aitam Foundation that located at Kranji, Bekasi. This activity is an attempt to improve parental knowledge about the importance of sensory integration and the impact it gains when the child's sensory is not well integrated. The benefit of this community service is the increased knowledge of parents about the use of sensory integration methods so that it can be used to optimize the growth of their children.

Pilot Program on Energy Reduction in Engineering and Manufacturing Facilities on Global Scale Highlights Challenges and Performance Improvements
Authors: Scott Hannah , Sealy Ian 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
An oilfield services company has completed a pilot program on a global scale that recognizes the value of energy reduction in terms of sustainability and environmental performance. This paper describes the program that ran for a year with tangible targets for energy reduction, with a focused and structured approach. The program resulted in demonstrable reductions in energy consumption for a proportion of the facilities involved and resulted in valuable insights for future programs.
The program, named Mission Emission was piloted on a global scale amongst specific locations belonging to the company’s engineering and manufacturing group. The three key deliverables for the 34 locations in 13 different countries were detailed carbon emissions data collection, an energy survey (including key plant and equipment at each facility) and implementation of identified improvements. The results of the program were evaluated by further data collection at the end of the year.
The program resulted in an overall reduction in carbon footprint of 17% and significant financial savings. The program highlighted the critical importance of management support, the need for fundamental knowledge of facilities maintenance and energy management, and the challenge in selecting an appropriate metric to suit multi-country locations with wide variations in population, facilities infrastructure and business activities. 14 locations managed to achieve an energy reduction based on 2016 vs 2015 CO2e kg per man hour, and 9 of these made the target of 5% reduction.
The program saw that even the simplest of changes made an impact, including focused management of high energy consuming manufacturing equipment and machinery, switch off campaigns, strict control on lighting, heating ventilation and air conditioning. The successes of the program have been communicated internally and externally as part of the company’s sustainability reporting.
The initiative has provided valuable insights on how future programs may be structured, helped to positively engage employees, and has offered a best practice example for other groups within the company. With concerted focus and management support, reductions in energy consumption and associated cost savings can be made without significant financial investment.
Establishment of First Drilling Contractor Energy Management System Stimulates Dynamic Optimization

Published: April 2018

Abstract
As a drilling contractor when NDC opted to put in place an Energy Management system it became imperative to establish a baseline of energy consumption so that improvement of energy practices could be measured against this baseline. The task was entrusted to DNVGL Noble Denton. But this posed a unique challenge because very little work had been previously done in the field of energy management by drilling contractors across the world. Due to this ready reference material was not on hand that could be adapted to achieve the baseline study. This paper explains the process adopted by both companies and the outcome of the effort.
The task was approached by first preparing an inventory of the energy consumers across the company. Because the company owned assets stretching across Onshore and Offshore, real estate and transport vehicles, the assets were first grouped into various types. These were: Onshore RigsOffshore RigsCentralized crew campsHead Office BuildingsWarehouseWorkshops, andTransportation assets
Then a sample of each type of asset was visited and the main energy consumers identified. The energy consumption patterns of these assets was then examined to arrive at a specific consumption value that could serve as a baseline for continuous improvement.
The challenges of identifying a typical energy demand for drilling rigs arose from the fact that the energy demand was greatly influenced by the vagaries of the drilling program, type of well, operational practices etc.
Overcoming these challenges required that assumptions be made to rationalize the data so that it could be applied across the company assets.
The baseline energy audit was successfully concluded and areas for improvement were meaningfully identified.
This was the first time that a baseline energy audit for a drilling contractor had been prepared and it has paved the way for other drilling contractors to benefit from the effort. Not surprisingly the audit revealed that the major consumers were the rig engines and thus the maximum benefit could be realized from focusing the company energies on managing these engines. Naturally other easier to implement options exist and have been identified for improving the energy consumption
This is the first effort at establishing an energy consumption pattern for a drilling company in the region and is likely to become a trend very soon because the adoption of the recommendations can be easily and quickly translated into savings for the company running into millions of dollars.
