Authors: Herzog Micha , Wyss Damian 
Published: October 2022

Dürfen amtierende Regierungsmitglieder im Vorfeld einer Erneuerungswahl den Fragebogen der Online-Wahlhilfe «smartvote» ausfüllen oder steht das Kollegialprinzip einer Teilnahme an der Umfrage entgegen? Diese Frage wurde von den kantonalen Regierungen in den letzten Jahren unterschiedlich beantwortet und in den Medien kontrovers diskutiert. Zu dieser Diskussion will der vorliegende Aufsatz beitragen. In einem ersten Teil weiten die Autoren den Blick und setzen sich mit dem Kollegialprinzip im Allgemeinen auseinander, um auf dieser Grundlage anschliessend eine eigene Antwort zu formulieren, wobei als konkretes Anschauungsbeispiel die Berner Regierungsratswahlen vom 27. März 2022 gewählt wurden.

Les membres en fonction d'un gouvernement peuvent-ils, avant une élection, remplir le questionnaire de la plateforme en ligne « smartvote » ou le principe de collégialité s'oppose-t-il à une telle participation ? Cette question a fait l'objet de débats controversés dans les médias et les différents gouvernements cantonaux n'y répondent pas de manière unanime. Le présent article entend contribuer à cette discussion. Dans une première partie, les auteurs élargissent le propos et se penchent sur le principe de collégialité en général. Puis, à partir de cette base, ils formulent leur propre réponse en se focalisant sur l'exemple concret des élections au Conseil-exécutif bernois du 27 mars 2022.
A multi-methodological study of the bastnäsite-synchysite polysomatic series: Tips and tricks of polysome identification and the origin of syntactic intergrowths
Authors: Conconi Roberto , Fumagalli Patrizia , Capitani Giancarlo 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
In this paper, we evaluated the potentialities of Raman spectroscopy and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) in the microscopic characterization of Ca-REE fluorcarbonates (CRFC) belonging to the bastnäsite-synchysite series to provide a “road map” for further investigations with transmission electron microscopy (TEM). EBSD was effective in establishing the sample orientation, setting up the oriented cuts, and ascertaining the effective syntactic relationship among all the detected CRFC phases; however, it failed to distinguish between different polysomes. On samples with different orientations that were preventively ascertained by EBSD and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), micro-Raman spectroscopy allows for distinguishing between polysomes based on the differences in intensity and position of the symmetric stretching vibration (ν1) of the carbonate group (CO32–) in the region around 1080–1099 cm–1. However, as evidenced by TEM-EDS, what appears as a homogeneous polysome in backscattered electrons (BSE) images may be a disordered intergrowth of compositional faults with a bulk composition being matched with that of a real polysome only by accident. Therefore, we conclude that the Raman signal is sensitive to different Ca/(Ca+REE) ratios but not to any ordered distribution of Ca-poor and Ca-rich lamellae within the analyzed volume, making the unambiguous identification of a polysome tricky. Finally, several ordered polysomes were detected at the TEM scale, including a B2S and a long-range polytype with a 32 nm repeat distance along c. The possible implications of the detected microstructure for ore mineral formation are discussed.

Abstract
The stability of CO2 fluid in the Earth’s mantle is restricted by the carbonation of rock-forming minerals. Among those, the reaction with garnet is of particular interest because it constrains the stability of CO2 fluid in eclogites, whose minerals have been found in the CO2-bearing diamonds. In this work, we determined the equilibrium boundary for the reaction Mg3Al2Si3O12 (Prp) + 3CO2 (fluid) = Al2SiO5 (Ky) + 2SiO2 (Coe/Qz) + 3MgCO3 (Mgs) over the pressure interval 3–6 GPa using a multi-anvil press. Owing to the slow kinetics, the reaction was studied in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions in experiments with durations extending up to 260 h. Our newly determined boundary is situated 3 GPa/950 ± 50 °C, 4.5 GPa/1150 °C, and 6 GPa/1350 ± 50 °C and has the equation P(GPa) = 0.0075 × T (°C) – 4.125. The boundary crosses the graphite-to-diamond transition curve near 4.7 GPa and 1180 °C. Thus, the assemblage garnet + CO2 fluid is stable in the diamond (Dia) stability field under P-T conditions of the continental geotherm with a heat flow of 41 mW/m2.

Authors: Tunaitis Juozas 
Published: October 2022

Achema is a leading producer of nitrogen fertilizers and chemical products in Lithuania and the Baltic states. First construction works of the factory date back to 1962, however officially the company was founded on February 9, 1965 after the first tons of synthetic ammonia were produced in a newly launched ammonia unit. Carbon capture and sequestration has been considered as suitable measure of decarbonization during middle term – till year 2030. There is developed technology and logistic chains for on shore and offshore projects. The geographical location of companies plays crucial role because of logistics. SC “Achema” yearly emits more than 2 million tons of CO2. Our advantage is in having 200-300 kilo T of pure CO2 suitable to liquify and transport. Disadvantage of this topic in Lithuania is political attitude and big distances till real wells at North Sea. The deep check of all aspects necessary to estimate real potential of CCS in Lithuania.The company aspires for significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and is the winner of ‘Most Environment Friendly Process' nomination for greenhouse gas emission (NO) mitigation in the nitric acid manufacturing process. Company aspires for sustainable and safe production of fertilizers and has also has also developed capabilities to liquify and transport CO2 over long distances. In this conference Achema’s capabilities to liquify 200-300 kilo T of pure CO2 will be highlighted. Potential challenges related to long distance transfer and political challenges will be also be highlighted.

Published: October 2022

The research is a part of the AGaStor project realized in AGH-UST and University of Stavanger. The aim of the paper is to present social aspects of the developing the CCS/US technology in Poland described as social awareness (SA) and public acceptance (PA). The main research questions of the CCS/US PA concentrates on knowledge, acceptance of the technology, risks and benefits, the existence of NIMBY movements [1].The quantitative method of analysis of CCS PA is a survey method. The most of the former research was realized only in small communities [2, 3]. The AGaStor research describes the mezzo-social level of the CCS/US PA. The randomized sample (N= 695) was made in Zachodniopomorskie region (West-North Poland) in 2021. It allows to recognize differences of the level of CCS/US PA in different in that part of Poland. The main variables which influence CCS/US PA are: place of living, education, economic situations and general worldview of the respondents. The results show the correlation between place of living and CCS PA (higher PA in big cities); education with CCS SA (higher declarations of knowledge and SA by well educated people); NIMBY potential in villages and small towns, and the pro-technological worldview with the CCS PA. The research points that the main social obstacle is the lack of knowledge about the CCS/US technology. Even respondents who declare the general acceptation of new technologies in energy production are ambivalent towards acceptance of CCS/US.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of slums with increasing population density are the main barriers to scaling-up sustainable Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities in the megalopolis of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The improper arrangement of ‘Cheap WASH’ (i.e., water access, sanitation access, and hygiene practices) and unmanaged disposal of non-biodegradable menstrual hygiene wastes, single-use medical, and plastic usage at slums are making the environment of city surroundings unfavourable and vulnerable posing a great threat to public health. Among the slum-dwellers, particularly, females with a disability are mostly the worst affected and vulnerable due to unfavourable conditions and lack of necessary support. Following the backdrops, this study purposively selected two Dhaka slums, with and without disabled-friendly facilities, to investigate female perspectives on different aspects related to WASH and menstrual hygiene management (MHM) for females with a disability. In total, 30 in-depth interviews, 12 focus group discussions, and 22 key informant interviews were conducted at Korail and Kalyanpur slums. Case studies from the megalopolis of Dhaka, Bangladesh, capture the economic burden added to the budgetary deficits of the family with female-disabled. Discrimination in extra care needed for toilet facilities, MHM education, and transport and overlooking the caretaker's requirement or loss in income are found as additional burdens.
Личностное развитие молодых людей в условиях неопределенности внешнего мира
Authors: Горохова Екатерина Г. 
Published: October 2022

В данной статье автором исследуются взаимосвязи показателей личностного развития молодых людей и феномена толерантности к неопределенности. Новизна исследования заключается в предложенном для рассмотрения факторе успешного личностного развития как основе для развития высокого уровня толерантности к неопределенности. Во «Введении» автором обосновывается актуальность рассмотрения феномена толерантности к неопределенности у молодых людей в связи быстро и непредсказуемо меняющимися условиями окружающего мира.
В разделе «Методы» описывается организация исследования, в котором приняли участие 84 респондента – молодые люди в возрасте от 18 до 28 лет. В рамках исследования были использованы следующие методики: опросник диагностики самоактуализации личности А. В. Лазукина в адаптации Н. Ф. Калиной; шкала толерантности к неопределенности Мак­Лейна в адаптации Е. Н. Осина; новый опросник толерантности-интолерантности к неопределенности Т. В. Корниловой.
В разделе «Результаты» представлены основные результаты исследования: была выявлена корреляционная связь средней силы между показателями личностного развития и толерантностью к неопределенности, что позволило сделать вывод о том, что чем выше у молодых людей показатели личностного развития, тем больше они толерантны к неопределенности. Кроме того, была выявлена корреляционная связь средней силы между показателями толерантности к неопределенности и аутосимпатией, а также креативностью. Исходя из этого, позитивная Я-концепция, адекватная самооценка и творческий подход к жизни могут являться основой для развития высокого уровня толерантности к неопределенности у молодежи. В разделе «Обсуждение результатов» представлено сравнение полученных результатов с результатами и концепциями российских и зарубежных исследователей в области личностного развития и неопределенности.
Перспективой дальнейшего исследования является более глубокое и детальное изучение феномена толерантности к неопределенности и его связи с различными показателями личностного развития.
Use of Ground Calcium Carbonate for Self-compacting Concrete Development based on Various Water Content and Binder Compositions
Authors: Widodo Slamet , Ma'arif Faqih , Gao Zhengguo , Nugroho Maris Setyo 
Published: October 2022

Objective:
The development of a Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixture requires a different composition compared to normal vibrated concrete. This experimental study was designed to propose a modification of the concrete mix design formula to produce an SCC mix that meets the specified requirements for both fresh and hardened concrete using Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) as local fine powder material.

Methods:
The research was carried out with a targeted compressive strength between 30 and 60 MPa. The materials that were used in this research were fine natural aggregate, crushed stone as a coarse aggregate with a maximum size of 19 mm, Portland pozzolan cement (PPC), GCC, freshwater, and high-range water reducer. The properties of fresh concrete were tested using the slump-flow test method, while the compressive strength test was carried out on 50 standard cylinders after 28 days of curing with water immersion.

Results:
Test results indicated that the compressive strength and fresh properties of SCC significantly depend on the water content, the water/cement ratio, the volume ratio between water to the total binder, and the weight ratio between the GCC and Portland cement.

Conclusion:
Furthermore, using the experimental data based on varied water content and binder compositions produces equations with a good fit for SCC mix design in the compressive strength range between 30 MPa to 60 MPa.

Authors: Emmanuel Sendaula , Loy Alupo Anne , Patrickson Ayella 
Published: October 2022

Introduction:
The intense pressure on the health system coupled with strict measures have interrupted ART service utility during the COVID 19 pandemic. In this study, we assessed the Utilization of ART services among People Living with HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kampala District, Uganda.

Methods:
We studied 9952 records of patient encounters between 24th March and 1st June 2020 from the Open Medical Records System (EMR) and obtained an analytical sample of 647 encounters for PLHIV enrolled in Kampala district; 243 from the Mbuya site, 274 from Kinawataka site and 130 from Banda site. We assessed factors associated with inadequate ART utilization using the modified poison regression (generalized linear model with a poisoned family and a log link) and reported clustered robust standard errors with their corresponding Prevalence Ratios.

Results and Discussion:
The rate of ART utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Kampala district was inadequate (14.71%). PLHIV who were in WHO clinical stage 3 had aPR=18.065, 95%CI=17.396 18.759, and P-value =0.001 as compared to those in WHO stage 1. PLHIV who were obese had aPR=1.439, 95% CI=1.103 1.879, P-value =0.007 as compared to those with normal BMI.

Conclusion:
The factors associated with inadequate ART utilization were body mass index and WHO clinical staging of the disease. This information is crucial for strengthening HIV programs and interventions in terms of access to ART services, with a focus on obese infected individuals and those with advanced HIV disease during pandemics that require lock-down measures.

Published: October 2022

Background
The first UK COVID-19 lockdown had a polarizing impact on drinking behavior and may have impacted engagement with digital interventions to reduce alcohol consumption.

Objective
We examined the effect of lockdown on engagement, alcohol reduction, and the sociodemographic characteristics of users of the popular and widely available alcohol reduction app Drink Less.

Methods
This was a natural experiment. The study period spanned 468 days between March 24, 2019, and July 3, 2020, with the introduction of UK lockdown measures beginning on March 24, 2020. Users were 18 years or older, based in the United Kingdom, and interested in drinking less. Interrupted time series analyses using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs) were conducted for each outcome variable (ie, sociodemographic characteristics, app downloads and engagement levels, alcohol consumption, and extent of alcohol reduction) for existing (downloaded the app prelockdown) and new (downloaded the app during the lockdown) users of the app.

Results
Among existing users of the Drink Less app, there were increases in the time spent on the app per day (B=0.01, P=.01), mean units of alcohol recorded per day (B>0.00 P=.02), and mean heavy drinking (>6 units) days (B>0.00, P=.02) during the lockdown. Previous declines in new app downloads plateaued during the lockdown (incidence rate ratio [IRR]=1.00, P=.18). Among new app users, there was an increase in the proportion of female users (B>0.00, P=.04) and those at risk of alcohol dependence (B>0.00, P=.01) and a decrease in the proportion of nonmanual workers (B>–0.00, P=.04). Among new app users, there were step increases in the mean number of alcohol units per day (B=20.12, P=.03), heavy-drinking days (B=1.38, P=.01), and the number of days the app was used (B=2.05, P=.02), alongside a step decrease in the percentage of available screens viewed (B=–0.03, P=.04), indicating users were using less of the intervention components within the app.

Conclusions
Following the first UK lockdown, there was evidence of increases in engagement and alcohol consumption among new and existing users of the Drink Less app.

Authors: Yonata Diode , Pranata Boby , Aminah Siti 
Published: October 2022

Fermented cabbage extract contains lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum which produces tannase enzymes and Lactobacillus casei which produces phytase enzymes, which are very effective in reducing antinutrient compounds and increasing the antioxidant compound foxtail millet flour. This study aimed to determine the optimal fermentation time (0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours) to decrease antinutrient compounds and increase antioxidant compounds of foxtail millet flour using fermented cabbage extract. The results showed that an increase in fermentation time from 0 to 48 hours reduced levels of tannins and phytic acid in foxtail millet flour by 68.64 % (2.71 - 0.85 mg/g) and 66.60 % (5.33 - 1.78 mg/g) respectively. Afterwards there is an increase in antioxidant activity by 83.10 % (42.25 - 77.26 %) and a decrease in total phenolic content by 18.22 % (7.41 - 6, 06 mg GAE/g). In conclusion, the optimal fermentation time to produce FMF with the best characteristics (low antinutrients and high antioxidant activity) is 48 hours. Keywords: phytic acid, tannin, antioxidant activity, foxtail millet flour, fermented cabbage extract

Compost is very important for the soil and is useful in increasing soil productivity and agricultural production in a sustainable manner where quality and quantity are achieved, as well reducing enviromental pollution and improving the quality of land (soil) in a sustainable manner. This study aims to determine the effect of chemical fertilizers and market waste compost addition on the vegetative growth of oil palm seedlings in the main nursery. The research was carried out for 8 months, from December 2019 - July 2020 in the area of the Practical Farm of the Field Laboratory of Soil Management, STIP-AP Medan. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 2 factors. Factor 1 was organic compost made of market waste with 3 levels (0, 100, and 200 g/bag). Factor 2 was compound fertilizer (NPK 16:16:16) at 3 levels (5, 10, and 15 polybag). All treatment combinations wer performed in 3 replication plots and 2 seedlings were planted per plot, and 54 polybags in total. Data were analyzed using ANOVA at a level a = 5% and 1% and followed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a level a = 5%. The results prove that market waste compost and compound fertilizers had a significant effect on the observed parameters including plant height, number of leaves, and has a very significant effect on the parameters of fresh shoot weight and root fresh weight as well as shoot dry weight and root dry weight (g), but did not significantly affect the stem circumference.

Published: October 2022

Microencapsulation of green cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) essential oils and its application is considered an innovative technique to improve the functional properties of coffee drinks. This study aims to determine the best formulations (M) of combination of maltodextrin and cardamom essential oil, parameters such as microcapsule yields, water content, and solubility were measured. To find out whether the microcapsule was applicable for coffee drink, antioxidant activity and taste and aroma of coffee drink mixed with the best formulation were analyzed. Completely Randomized Block Design (CRBD) with four replications was used; the data were analyzed by ANOVA and further tested by the LSD test with a level of 5%. The results showed that formulations significantly affected the yields and solubility of cardamom essential oil microcapsules. The best formulation treatment was formulation M3 with a yield score,water content and solubility of 89.03%, 11.85%, and 93.50%, respectively. Antioxidant activity, aroma and taste scores of ground coffee mixed with M3 were 77.61±0.23%, 4.31 (typical of cardamom, little coffee), and 4.88 (typical of cardamom, little coffee), respectively. While ground coffee only has antioxidant activity of 76.32±0.31%. In conclusion, ground coffee mixed with microencapsulated cardamom essential oil has the potential as a herbal coffee drink.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of 150 mg/L sodium fluoride (NaF) on redox status parameters and essential metals [copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn)] in the blood, liver, kidney, brain, and spleen of Wistar rats and to determine the protective potential of selenium (Se) against fluoride (F-) toxicity. Male Wistar rats were randomly distributed in groups of five (n=5) receiving tap water (control) or water with NaF 150 mg/L, NaF 150 mg/L + Se 1.5 mg/L, and Se 1.5 mg/L solutions ad libitum for 28 days. Fluorides caused an imbalance in the redox and biometal (Cu, Fe, and Zn) status, leading to high superoxide anion (O2 .-) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the blood and brain and a drop in superoxide dismutase (SOD1) activity in the liver and its increase in the brain and kidneys. Se given with NaF improved MDA, SOD1, and O2 .- in the blood, brain, and kidneys, while alone it decreased SH group levels in the liver and kidney. Biometals both reduced and increased F- toxicity. Further research is needed before Se should be considered as a promising strategy for mitigating F- toxicity.
