Towards a low carbon solid waste management in West Papua

Solid waste is one of the main contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. With an increasing population and Gross Domestic Regional Product (GDRP) of West Papua at 2.65% and 5.2% per annum, solid waste production will also be increased and GHG emissions. However, a specific amount of GHG emission in West Papua was yet to be determined due to the unavailability of solid waste generation across all districts within West Papua. This paper aims to assess solid waste generation by using a dynamic model system that involved total population and GDRP across West Papua as the main variables to measure the data above. This paper shows that 2 (two) scenarios to simulate the business as usual (BAU) process of existing waste management and proposed scenarios to reduce GHG emissions at a convenient level. Based on the BAU model, West Papua will produce 3.7 million tons of waste and 1.1 million tons CO2e in 2030. The proposed scenario suggests that West Papua should manage their waste of up to 118.297 tons/year to meet the NDC 29% emission reduction target. These models could be replicated to solve the same issues in different areas.

Spatial patterns in phage-Rhizobium coevolutionary interactions across regions of common bean domestication

Bacteriophages play significant roles in the composition, diversity, and evolution of bacterial communities. Despite their importance, it remains unclear how phage diversity and phage-host interactions are spatially structured. Local adaptation may play a key role. Nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria, known as rhizobia, have been shown to locally adapt to domesticated common bean at its Mesoamerican and Andean sites of origin. This may affect phage-rhizobium interactions. However, knowledge about the diversity and coevolution of phages with their respective Rhizobium populations is lacking. Here, through the study of four phage-Rhizobium communities in Mexico and Argentina, we show that both phage and host diversity is spatially structured. Cross-infection experiments demonstrated that phage infection rates were higher overall in sympatric rhizobia than in allopatric rhizobia except for one Argentinean community, indicating phage local adaptation and host maladaptation. Phage-host interactions were shaped by the genetic identity and geographic origin of both the phage and the host. The phages ranged from specialists to generalists, revealing a nested network of interactions. Our results suggest a key role of local adaptation to resident host bacterial communities in shaping the phage genetic and phenotypic composition, following a similar spatial pattern of diversity and coevolution to that in the host.

РОЛЬ ФАКТОРА ПРИГРАНИЧНОСТИ ПРИ ВЫБОРЕ МОДЕЛИ ДИНАМИЧНОГО РАЗВИТИЯ ТЕРРИТОРИИ

The territory occupied by the Russian Federation is characterized by considerable size and spatial heterogeneity, so the economies of individual regions are noticeably different from each other. This is due to the difference in resource potential, the structure of the economy and the different role of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in world economic relations. At the same time, some regions occupy a border position favorable for the conduct of foreign trade, which may become one of their advantages in international cooperation. The subjects of the Russian Federation located on the border with foreign countries, based on their geographical position, compared with other regions, have clear advantages in attracting foreign investors and selling their products for export. Major financial flows, denominated in currency and mediating cross-border transactions, must go through these entities. Based on this, the development of mutually beneficial cooperation between domestic border regions and foreign countries is included by the Government of the Russian Federation among the priority areas of national economic policy. In the process of preparing and writing this article, it was determined that the dynamic and sustainable development of the economy in these constituent entities of the Russian Federation is largely determined by a competent solution to the problems of local self-government, which takes into account the peculiarities of the development and functioning of economic entities in border conditions. Analyzing the development of the Kurgan region, the authors came to the conclusion that it does not fully realize the advantages of its geographical location – on the border with the Republic of Kazakhstan. Consequently, the problem of studying the impact of the border on the sustainable and dynamic development of the territory remains relevant today.

РЕГИОНАЛЬНАЯ СТРАТИФИКАЦИЯ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОГО ПРОСТРАНСТВА В СИТУАЦИИ РАСПАДА СССР: КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНЫЕ ПАРАДОКСЫ И РЕШЕНИЯ

Author of the article has studied the situation with the USSR collapse in the aspect of analysing theoretical and methodological sources that were applied for these particular studies. There is a paradoxical mix of theoretical approaches from domestic regional political studies and concepts from typical international political studies. Noting a rather deep conceptual difference be- tween the theories of domestic political regionalism and the theories of inter- national relations the author shows that in the context of the USSR breakup, when domestic political relations between republics of the USSR were changed to international political relations between post-Soviet independent states, con- ceptual sources of those both sub-disciplines of political science reveal signs of theoretical and methodological convergence. In particular, the study of the text of the Sovietologist G. Zimon shows that it is possible to identify the conceptual similarity of the two mentioned sub-disciplines. Common approaches include multilevel consistency, when the object of research is considered as a system staying within a meta-system and including some sub-systems: the concepts of “vertical” and “horizontal” dimensions of political space; as well as concepts of “hard power” and “soft power”. The author concludes that the future elaboration on these aspects can give a roadmap toward a more complete politological theory of regional stratification of the political space in the modern society.

Борьба с пожарами на Харьковщине в годы военного коммунизма (1919–1921)

The aim of the article is to analyze the development of firefighting in Kharkiv and Kharkiv province during the war communism. The author explores the features of complex processes of fire prevention and firefighting in the Kharkiv region in 1919-1921. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization, comparison) and special-historical (historical-genetic, historical-comparative, historical-systemic) methods with the principles of historicism, scientificity and systematics. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time the peculiarities of fire fighting in one of the largest and most significant for the Soviet government in the studied period of the domestic regions - in the Kharkiv region. Conclusions. After the arrival of the Bolsheviks in Kharkiv in 1919, given the large number of fires that regularly occurred in the Kharkiv region, a number of measures were taken to improve the situation in the firefighting sphere in the region. Resolutions were adopted on the procedure for installing temporary portable furnaces in residential premises, special fire control commissions were created to check the state of fire safety in residential buildings, non-residential buildings and enterprises, etc. These measures were not always effective, due to lack of funds, qualified specialists, problems in the sectoral subordination of firefighting, especially in 1919 – the first half of 1920. However, during the second half of 1920- 1921, the situation in the firefighting sector began to improve: firefighting was transferred to the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs, the situation with financing and logistics of firefighters gradually began to improve, Ukrainian courses for firefighters were opened in Kharkiv. Thus, the fight against fires in Kharkiv during the war communism had difficult periods, especially at the beginning, but gradually the situation in firefighting improved, largely due to the enthusiasm of ordinary firefighters and strict regulation of fire by the authorities.

Social Economy Indicator on Constructing Forest Sustainability in Bali

Forestry issue has ever been discussed in conference of United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change about deforestation that happens because industrialization that oriented toward economical growth and ignores environment aspect that can cause global warming. In Bali, sustainability has been a pplied since long time ago. It can be proved by the existence of tumpek wariga that makes an appreciation respect directly to the plants is an embodiment of environmental sustainability as a manifestation of local wisdom. This is insufficient remember the fact that the condition of Bali's forests has been distorted. This analysis aims to know the simultaneous and partial influences and the most dominant determinants affecting forest sustainability. Within the lifetime data and analysis of adaptive partial adjustment model double log, this analysis found the fact that simultanousely and partially Domestic Product Regional Bruto, the amount of citizen, regional autonomy policy and forest sustainability condition on previous year has significant influence toward forest sustainability during the period of this analysis. The amount of citizen variable is the most dominant variable toward forest sustainability because it obtains the highest standardized of coefficient data of 0,292. Based on the analysis, result and discussion, forest have to be well maintained, conserved and utilized in balance for all the people prosperity in current generation and for the sake of next generation. Correct management needed for development sustainability especially in long-term capacity through internalization and negative externalization which caused by economical development

О ГИПОТЕЗЕ НОВОЙ ПАРАДИГМЫ УПРАВЛЕНИЯ РАЗВИТИЕМ ТУРИЗМА В РАМКАХ НАЦИОНАЛЬНОГО ПРОЕКТА «ТУРИЗМ И ИНДУСТРИЯ ГОСТЕПРИИМСТВА»

The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need for a new paradigm for managing the development of the domestic tourism sector due to time challenges. The proposed approach is based on the main provisions of the reports of the participants of the Recreation and Tourism section of the Russian Professorial Assembly, held on November 18, 2020. At the same time, the intensity of the discussions, differences in the positions of many speakers were due not only to significant damage to the development of tourism, the put COVID-19 the pandemic which designated, in fact, the initial stage new, apparently, a long-term cycle of development of the tourism sector, but also clearly demanded and very timely measures of the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on improving the system of management of tourism development, and the development of a new National Tourism and Hospitality Project. General scientific and specific economic methods of research are used. The article raises the issues of eliminating the sustainable deficit of the country’s balance of payments through tourism, due to the unresolved ratios of domestic, exit and entry tourist flows; More comprehensive coverage and synchronization of more than 50 industries and areas involved in satiating tourism demand; more complete and adequate statistical visibility in the tourism economy; monitoring the state and effective use of the huge volumes of tourist resources of the regions involved in the reproduction of tourist products, determining their optimal recreational loads, etc. The conclusions are drawn that in these conditions, the tasks of improving the technological level of the tourism development management system come to the fore. systematic and integrated digitalization and informatization of the tourism economy in all sectors and spheres, involved in the modern tourism sector of the economy, the introduction of a platform approach to the creation of large-format and large-scale tourist products in the tourist spaces of domestic regions, the development of their transport and cultural logistics. All this requires a serious improvement of the domestic legislative framework of the tourism sector in the direction of transforming tourism into a driver of the socio-economic development of the country’s economy, primarily due to the preservation and strengthening of human potential, the care of which, as shown by the experience of highly developed countries, is increasingly transferred to the free spatial and temporal coordinates of human activity, i.e. to the tourism sector.The practical significance of the proposed theoretical and practical recommendations will make it possible to fill the content of the first National Project «Tourism and Hospitality Industry» not only with strategic goals and objectives adequate to the challenges of the time, but also to develop the necessary list of flagship projects capable of practically implementing them.

Certain Investigation of Real power flow control of Artificial Neural Network based Matrix converter-Unified Power Flow Controller in IEEE 14 Bus system

The power consumption is rapid increased due to ASD (Adjustable Speed Drives) and automation in industries and large consumption of electricity in domestic regions increased the concern of the power quality. The quality of the power received in the Distribution system is altered because of the losses in the transmission system. The losses in the transmission system is mitigated using the FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission System)controller among these controllers UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) plays a vital role in controlling the shunt and series reactive powers in the bus of the power system. The conventional topology of the UPFC consists of AC-DC converter and energy stored in the DC link and DC-AC converter injected a voltage in series to the bus which as to be controlled. Whereas a new topology based on matrix converter can replace the dual converters and perform the required task. The construction of 2-bus, 7-bus and IEEE-14-bus power system is designed and modeled. MC-UPFC (Matrix Converter Based Unified Power Flow Controller) is designed and constructed. The MC-UPFC is the rich topology in the FACTS which is capable of controlling both the transmission parameters simultaneously with the switching technique of Direct power control by the smooth sliding control which gives less ripple in the injecting control parameters such as control voltage [Vc] and voltage angle [α]. By implementing MC-UPFC the real and reactive power can be controlled simultaneously and independently. The control techniques were designed based on the Proportional Integral derivative(PID) with sliding surface power control, FLC (Fuzzy Logic Controller) and ANN (Artificial Neural Network) and the performance of Vc and α of the controllers are investigated. Hence the sliding surface and relevant control switching state of the MC can be controlled by the FLC which gives the robust and autonomous decision making in the selection of the appropriate switching state for the effective real power control in the power system. The work has been carried out in the MATLAB Simulink simulator which gives the finest controlling features and simple design procedures and monitoring of the output.

ANALISIS POTENSI SEKTOR BASIS DAN NON BASIS KOTA SABANG TAHUN 2013-2019

The success of a region in improving its economy can be measured by the growth of Gross Domestic Regional Product (GDRP) from various existing sectors. This Gross Domestic Regional Product (GDRP) growth occurs if the region has a leading sector or a basic sector whose growth rate is relatively fast and has strong competitiveness and a non-basic sector that has the opportunity to become a basic sector if the local government is able to condition the opportunities that exist into an optimal result. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Aceh Province in the form of time series data for 7 years, namely the 2013-2019 period. This research was conducted to identify the basic and non-basic sectors in the economic structure of the City of Sabang for the period 2013 - 2019 using the LQ (location quotient) analysis method, the Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) method, Shift Share Analysis, and quadrant analysis. 10 basic sectors with the highest average index value SLQ ≥ 1 and 7 sectors which are non-basic sectors with index numbers <1. In the quadrant analysis from the results of the existing Shift-Share calculations, there are 3 sectors in Quadrant I with fast and strong growth,3 sectors in Quadrant II with slow and strong growth, and 11 sectors in Quadrant III with fast growth but have weak competitiveness

On the origin and dispersal of cultivated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.)

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important crop that is cultivated and consumed worldwide. Spinach is interfertile with the wild species S. tetrandra Steven ex M. Bieb. and S. turkestanica Iljin that therefore are presumed to include the most likely crop ancestor. Here we studied variation in 60 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) previously identified in S. oleracea to address the issue of crop ancestry and domestication region. For this purpose we investigated 95 accessions, including 54 spinach landraces from a wide geographic area in Europe and Asia and 16 S. tetrandra and 25 S. turkestanica populations of which the majority had only recently become available. Compared to S. tetrandra substantially higher levels of amplification success and higher levels of variation were detected for S. turkestanica, indicating that S. oleracea is genetically closer to S. turkestanica than to S. tetrandra. Our phylogenetic and population structure analysis supported the conclusion that S. turkestanica is the most likely ancestor of cultivated spinach. In addition, these analyses revealed a group of S. oleracea landraces from Eastern and Southern Asia with a strong genetic resemblance to S. turkestanica. This group includes landraces from Afghanistan and Pakistan, which are part of the native distribution range of S. turkestanica. The domestication of spinach may therefore have occurred more eastwards than generally assumed. Furthermore, our study provides support for the hypothesis that after domestication, spinach was introduced into China via Nepal. Additional collecting of spinach landraces is recommended in order to allow the more precise reconstruction of the crop migration routes.

The impact of COVID-19 on China’s trade and outward FDI and related countermeasures

ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the development trend and characteristics of China’s foreign trade and outward FDI amid the epidemic from the overall trend of change, the structure of domestic regions, the structure of overseas markets, the structure of import and export products, the industrial distribution of overseas investment and the situation between countries along the Belt and Road. Further, we proposed some countermeasures to promote China’s trade and OFDI, such as establishing an early-warning system for overseas risks, adhering to innovation drive, fostering a new, dual-cycle development architecture with domestic and international development reinforcing each other, promoting the construction of cross-border e-commerce facilities and technologies and so on.

Border effect of agricultural trade between China and the Belt and Road countries: a computable general equilibrium model analysis

In this paper, we constructed a global trade computable general equilibrium model using the input-output table data in 2002, 2007, 2010, and 2015 to measure the border effect of the bilateral trade of agricultural products between China and the Belt and Road (B&R) countries, and designed a simulation analysis under different scenarios for the impact of the B&R initiative on China’s agricultural trade. We discovered that: (1) The border effect of agricultural product trade between China and the B&R countries decreased by 20.9% in 2015 compared with that in 2010, which means that the B&R initiative to some extent reduced the trade barriers and promoted the bilateral agricultural trade between China and the B&R countries. (2) There are different changes in border effect between China’s domestic regions and between unilateral and bilateral border, the decline of border effect in China’s costal area is larger than that in inland area, and the decline in import border is larger than that in export border. (3) With the improvement of the B&R framework and the implementation of supporting policies, the decline in trade costs and in local agricultural product preference as well as the agricultural technology progress will further reduce the border effect. China’s domestic regional trade gap will gradually narrow, the bilateral agricultural trade will be highly active, and the continuous growth of agricultural trade will emerge between China and the B&R countries.

Origin and evolution of aus type fragrant rice (Oryza sativa L.) : A review

Diversity in wild forms and landraces of a crop in a region is an indicator and the core tenet of determining its centre of origin. Jeypore tract of Odisha with diverse rice forms is considered as the earliest, independent rice domestication region of aus ecotype. The aus group of Asian cultivated rice is a distinct population with unique alleles for biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and high genetic diversity even in its fragrant accessions, detected at the molecular level. Annual wild rice Oryza nivara is considered as the progenitor of aus rice. The aus type fragrant rice is the original crop of Indian sub-continent, domesticated in hill areas by primitive tribes, around 4500 years ago. The Chinese japonica rice which came to India later, inherited chloroplast and nuclear genome from wild aus rice and the resulting hybrids formed the aromatic group. Loss or gain of phenotypic characters is the common feature of evolution. The aus landraces possessing characters such as black hull, red pericarp, poor panicle features, low grain yield, associated with wild rice species have evolved into cultivated forms from the intermediate stages of domestication. Considering the archeological evidences, genetic inferences and correlations of different investigations relating to aus type fragrant rice, Jeypore tract is regarded as the place of origin and evolution of this small but significant group of fragrant rice.

Legacy and novel flame retardants in water and sediment from highly industrialized bays of Korea: Occurrence, source tracking, decadal time trend, and ecological risks

Legacy and novel flame retardants (FRs) such as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), novel BFRs, and organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) were measured in water and sediment collected from highly industrialized bays of Korea. Predominant compounds in sediment were BDE 209, DBDPE, and BTBPE for BFRs, and TCPP and TBOEP for OPFRs, respectively. Higher alternative FR concentrations were observed compared to those reported for previous studies. The highest BFR concentrations were found in locations close to industrial complexes, while the OPFR concentrations were highest in locations close to domestic regions and a wastewater treatment plant. Different contamination sources were observed for BFRs and OPFRs. The ratio of DBDPE/BDE 209 in sediment ranged from 0.84 to 28, indicating a shift in consumption of BFRs. A significant decline in PBDEs suggests the effectiveness of domestic and global regulations. Despite this, sedimentary PBDE concentrations may pose adverse health risks to benthic organisms and humans.

Urbanization and increased cases of scorpionism in Brazilian cities

Abstract Introduction Scorpionism is a growing problem in Brazil; the hot climate in most of the country makes it suitable for the proliferation in urban and domestic regions alike. The temperatures, low levels of basic sanitation and disorganized urbanization result in an perfect environment for scorpionic accidents. Objectives Analyze the urbanization of scorpion accidents in the State of São Paulo - SSP as a public health problem. Methods Observational and descriptive study with data from the National System of Notifiable Diseases - SINAN of the Department of Health of Brazil, with direct risk calculation, from the analysis of the incidence of accidents with scorpions in urban areas of SSP, in the period from 1975 to 2019. Results In SSP, accidents with scorpions increased 642% between the years 1975 and 2019 in the most densely urbanized nuclei: the cities of São Paulo, Guarulhos, Campinas, São Bernardo do Campo and Santo André. These cases are associated with increased mortality in children and the elderly and corresponded to 56.63% of the total accidents with venomous animals in the SSP. This increase in the occurrence of scorpionic accidents is associated with the behavior of the animal, which finds conditions for its proliferation in the urban environment facilitated by the absence of predators and becomes a relevant public health problem. Conclusions Urban areas have become a propitious environment to scorpions' proliferation. Urban dynamics, garbage and other urban waste displacement, human habitation, combined with deficiencies in infrastructure and basic sanitation, created the conditions for the emergence of accidents with scorpions in urban areas as a relevant public health problem with significant mortality numbers, especially vulnerable groups of elderly people and children, in the large urban centers of SSP, Brazil. Key messages Discuss the synanthropy and proliferation of venomous animals in urban centers. New public health challenges with the change of accidents with venomous animals from rural to urban areas.

A Study on the Investigation of Diffusion Coefficient for Oil Extraction from Terebinth (Pistacia terebinthus L.) Seeds

Objective: In this study, the extraction of oil from Pistacia terebinthus L’s seeds grown in Elazig-TURKEY and called menengic in domestic region was investigated. Crude oil content of the seeds obtained from this region was determined as approximately 47% (w/w). Methods: Effects of the parameters such as extraction time, temperature, seeds/solvent ratio (dosage), the particle size of seeds and type of solvent were examined on the oil extraction yield. In this context, it has concluded that up to a certain point, the extraction time has increased the yield of oil extracted. But the extraction temperature showed activity as depending on the solvent type. Results: As expected, it has been observed that the yield of oil has decreased depending on the increase in particle size and dosage as well. The mathematical model obtained by solving Fick's second law under the appropriate boundary and initial conditions were used to calculate diffusion coefficients for the extraction process. Diffusion coefficients for the seeds with a particle size of 0.55 mm were found to be between 1.15x10-11 and 1.86x10-11 m2s-1. To compare the extraction yield of Pistacia terebinthus L’s seeds with that of sunflower at the same conditions, the diffusion coefficients of sunflower seeds were calculated in the range of 9.11x10-12 and 1.13x10-11 m2s-1. Conclusion: These figures show that the diffusion coefficients calculated for both oily seeds are nearly equivalent to each other. The fatty acid composition of extracted oil from Pistacia terebinthus L’s seeds was determined by GC-FID. The GC-FID results showed that oleic, linoleic (ω-6) and palmitic acid were main fatty acids in the oil obtained from menengic seeds.
