Legal regulation of nuclear and radiation safety in Ukraine (on the example of some foreign countries)

Peculiarities of the legal regime for ensuring nuclear and radiation safety of the NPP of Ukraine as a critical infrastructure object were studied in order to increase the level of emergency preparedness in peacetime, as well as in conditions of real military aggression. After all, among all branches of the use of nuclear energy, sources of ionizing radiation, nuclear energy remains the most dangerous against the background of the general unfavorable state of the environment, preservation of human life and health. The need for further improvement of all systems of ensuring national security, in particular the state system of physical protection of nuclear installations, nuclear materials, radioactive waste, and other sources of ionizing radiation, is substantiated; a unified state system of civil protection and their systemic interaction, first of all, by improving security legislation.According to the results of the study, taking into account the experience of the EU, first of all, of the countries in which nuclear power plants operate, an author’s approach was formulated regarding the introduction of 8 safety districts on the territory of Ukraine based on the identified zones of potential postaccident pollution around domestic and foreign nuclear power plants. The leadership and secretariat of security districts, according to the author of the article, should work on a permanent basis. It is proposed to achieve systemic interaction of security (Law of Ukraine “On the Basics of National Security of Ukraine”, etc.) and nuclear (Law of Ukraine “On the Use of Nuclear Energy and Radiation Safety”, etc.) legislation through the development and subsequent adoption of the draft Law “On Coordination of Executive Bodies authorities with local self-government bodies, business, the public in emergency situations”, which should determine the effective mechanisms of effective interaction of authorities at all levels, territorial communities on the principle of subsidiarity, as well as public-private partnership with business, public involvement; avoidance of duplication and contradictions in the preparation of Plans for overcoming emergency situations, involvement in the preparation and monitoring of the implementation of the specified plans of the scientific and expert environment, first of all permanently operating scientific and expert organizations. The research uses the general dialectical method, the method of scientific knowledge, the method of interpreting legal norms, the formal legal method, the comparative legal method, and the method of systemic analysis.

Muslim perspectives on palliative care in perinatal and neonatal patients: a mini-review.

Muslims comprise nearly a quarter of the worldwide population, with significant populations in the United States, Canada, and Europe. As clinicians, it is important to be familiar with Islamic religious and cultural perspectives on medical treatment, life-prolonging measures and comfort and palliative care, but historically, this has been a gap in the literature. Recently, there have been multiple papers discussing Islamic bioethics, particularly in regards to end of life care in adults; however, there has been a lack of literature discussing the Islamic perspective on issues related to neonatal and perinatal end of life care. This paper uses clinical scenarios to review key relevant principles of Islamic law, discussing the primary and secondary sources used in formulating fatawa, including the Quran, hadith, qiyas, and 'urf, and the importance of preservation of life and upholding of human dignity (karamah). Neonatal and perinatal scenarios are used to specifically explore the Islamic perspective on withholding and withdrawal of life-sustaining measures and determining what constitutes an acceptable quality of life. In some Islamic cultures the expertise of the patient's physician is given significant weight in making these judgments, and as such, families may appreciate frank assessment of the situation by the clinical team. Because of the various factors involved in issuing religious ruling, or fatwa, there is a wide spectrum of opinions on these rulings, and physicians should be aware of these differences, seek counsel and guidance from local Islamic leaders, and support families in their decision-making process.

XRT-04. THE ROLE OF STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY FOR MENINGIOMAS IN PEDIATRIC PATIENTS

Abstract Despite the generally benign and slow-growing nature, meningiomas in pediatric populations often exhibit more aggressive behavior. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-invasive modality that is widely used as an upfront or adjuvant treatment for patients with meningiomas. Due to the rarity of meningiomas in pediatric patients, the outcomes of SRS for childhood meningiomas have never been described. From 1987 to 2022, a total of 2,030 patients with meningiomas underwent SRS at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Nine patients (2 female; incidence rate = 0.44%) with a median age of 14.5 years (range, 9—17 years) at SRS were identified. Three patients (33.3%) had a history of total body irradiation. Seven patients (77.8%) were asymptomatic at the time of SRS presentation. Seven patients (77.8%) had a pre-SRS craniotomy; two patients (22.2%) had pre-SRS fractionated radiotherapy. The median cumulative tumor volume was 3.65 cc (range, 0.01—11.84 cc). The median margin dose prescribed was 14 Gy (range, 11—25 Gy). The median follow-up time was 107 months (range, 24—194 months). Five patients (55.6%) experienced tumor progression at a median of 25 months (range, 13—161 months). Local tumor control at 1-, 5-, and 10 years was 100%, 55.56%, and 55.56%, respectively. After local tumor progression, 2 patients received repeat SRS, 2 patients had surgical resection and 1 was placed on hydroxyurea for an unresectable tumor. At the date of the last clinical follow-up, 5 patients (55.6%) were still alive while 4 patients (44.4%) expired due to the progression of intracranial disease. 1-, 5-, and 10-year survival was 100%, 88.89%, and 64.81%, respectively. Childhood meningioma is a rare tumor that exhibits aggressive behaviors. SRS should be considered as an upfront or adjuvant treatment option in the multi-modal management of childhood meningiomas for optimal tumor control and maximal quality of life preservation.

The Black Anterior

The Black Anterior Erica R. Edwards (bio) Near the beginning of Ntozake Shange's 1974 classic Black feminist choreopoem for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf, the lady in yellow remembers coming of age in a Buick on the night of her high school graduation. Colored "deep black," the Buick becomes a scene of too much pleasure: more people than seem possible crowd into the car—a young girl plus five pretty boys, all cousins—the young graduate sweats her hair out at the dance and, back in the car afterward, makes love for the first time. The Buick, conjured in memory, aids the feet and hips of the performers onstage in setting the choreopoem in constant motion against Black stasis. The soundtrack for this scene, powered by the lady in yellow and her slightly mocking compatriots in orange and blue, who sing backup, is the Dells' "Stay in My Corner." And more miracle than the layin' on of hands that ends the choreopoem is this: the Buick reaches its destination without event, and its Black inhabitants are even afforded the luxury of aging: "WE WAZ GROWN WE WAZ FINALLY GROWN," says the lady in yellow, and even if that bold assertion belies a youthful bravado, the past tense waz reminds us that the lady in yellow has indeed achieved the maturity of a grown-ass woman reflecting on the night she "gave it up in a buick." Sometime between Martha and the Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street" and the Dells' "Stay in My Corner," some womanish stuff happens. And by the time the sun comes up, the girl-woman rolling her hips in the back seat "cdnt stop grinnin."1 Shana Redmond's 2022 presidential address, "The Dark Prelude," teaches us to hear in detail scenes like this—scenes of motoring, listening, enjoying, coming, and coming through in deep black—where to hear in detail is to grieve in detail the lives these scenes index and, in so doing, to place ourselves in the way of Black culture's metronome of aliveness. But it teaches through its multimedia form: it must be heard, and it must be heard in concert. The address insists that if we listen for the interiors of Black vehicularity—which is to say, the Black anteriors that surface through the comingling of black automotive and audio technologies—we might hear well enough to be overcome by Black study's ethical excess. Our work might be overtaken, that is, not by the [End Page 219] thick description of telling the world as it is but by what Redmond refers to as the "thick emotion" of Black study's grief and what she refers to elsewhere as the "thick camaraderie" that counters the "thin bonds of sympathy" tying well-meaning liberals to dark subjects whose deaths serve as the precondition of white life.2 Redmond begins with this overstanding and overtaking: "I cry a lot," she confesses. The setting for "The Dark Prelude" is, indeed, the thick Black anterior, where what comes and lies before the black death that preconditions white life—what is in advance of and surrounds this black deathliness—is held and holding, and beheld and beholding. The Black anterior is what Stefano Harney and Fred Moten refer to as "the black before and before," "the already and the forthcoming": Consider the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, first theorists of the revolution of the surround, the black before and before, the already and the forthcoming. Their twinned commitment to revolution and self-defense emerged from the recognition that the preservation of black social life is articulated in and with the violence of innovation. This is not a contradiction if the new thing, always calling for itself, already lives around and below the forts, the police stations, the patrolled highways and the prison towers.3 If Blackness is the constantly improvised mode of commoning and communing that is anterior to the carceral apparatuses mounted to harness and control it, Blackness is the antagonism to enclosure, to, even, racial Blackness. And if what we, students of the Black anterior, bring to American studies is a refusal of "America" and its...

Extreme Niche Partitioning and Microbial Dark Matter in a Mauna Loa Lava Tube

AbstractLava tubes are key targets in the search for life on Mars. Their basaltic walls provide protection from radiation and changing environmental conditions, which could enable life or preservation of previous life in an otherwise harsh environment. We can understand the potential for Martian life in lava tubes by studying the habitability of analog environments on Earth. In this study, we present the first characterization of the microbial life inside a pristine Mauna Loa lava tube. This study is the first to combine 16S SSU rRNA sequencing and whole genome shotgun sequencing to map the taxonomic makeup and functional potential of any lava tube community in Hawaii, enabling a deep understanding of the types of microbes that thrive in this unique environment and the metabolisms they use. We find a surprisingly high degree of niche partitioning over small spatial scales and discuss implications for life detection strategies. Based on recent bioinformatic advancements in metagenomics, we also assemble dozens of high‐quality metagenome assembled genomes from the microbes living in the lava tubes, including several novel species.

THE RIGHT WAY TO PREACH ISLAM: THE CASE OF ALBANIA

This paper explores the topic of preaching Islam in Albania, with a focus on the right way to do so. The study argues that religion is a set of principles sent by God to guide humanity towards happiness in this world and the next, and that a religion which does not produce results that enable man to become smarter leads to the loss of life values. Therefore, the preservation of faith, life, wealth, offspring and mind are the main objectives of religion. The study highlights that in the face of negative portrayals of Islam in the media, it is the duty of Muslim preachers to communicate the truth and inform their congregation about the true principles of Islam. The study uses Imam Ash-Shatibi's work to argue that the basic pillar of religion is the benefit of this life and the next, and therefore the study provides important insights into the role of preaching in contemporary society. The findings of this study have implications for the way in which Islam is practiced and preached in Albania and provide important guidance for those who wish to promote a positive and accurate understanding of Islam in the world today.

Machine perfusion and the prevention of ischemic type biliary lesions following liver transplant: What is the evidence?

The widespread uptake of different machine perfusion (MP) strategies for liver transplant has been driven by an effort to minimize graft injury. Damage to the cholangiocytes during the liver donation, preservation, or early posttransplant period may result in stricturing of the biliary tree and inadequate biliary drainage. This problem continues to trouble clinicians, and may have catastrophic consequences for the graft and patient. Ischemic injury, as a result of compromised hepatic artery flow, is a well-known cause of biliary strictures, sepsis, and graft failure. However, very similar lesions can appear with a patent hepatic artery and these are known as ischemic type biliary lesions (ITBL) that are attributed to microcirculatory dysfunction rather than main hepatic arterial compromise. Both the warm and cold ischemic period duration appear to influence the onset of ITBL. All of the commonly used MP techniques deliver oxygen to the graft cells, and therefore may minimize the cholangiocyte injury and subsequently reduce the incidence of ITBL. As clinical experience and published evidence grows for these modalities, the impact they have on ITBL rates is important to consider. In this review, the evidence for the three commonly used MP strategies (abdominal normothermic regional perfusion [A-NRP], hypothermic oxygenated perfusion [HOPE], and normothermic machine perfusion [NMP] for ITBL prevention has been critically reviewed. Inconsistencies with ITBL definitions used in trials, coupled with variations in techniques of MP, make interpretation challenging. Overall, the evidence suggests that both HOPE and A-NRP prevent ITBL in donated after circulatory death grafts compared to cold storage. The evidence for ITBL prevention in donor after brain death grafts with any MP technique is weak.

“God Has Wrapped Himself in a Cloak of Materialism”: Marxism and Jewish Religious Thought in the Early Soviet Union

Jewish religious life in the Soviet Union is typically the subject of dichotomous depictions that offer only a superficial rendering of this rich and complex environment. This paper aims to complicate this image by pointing out several religious thinkers who engaged with Communist and Marxist ideas and incorporated them into their religious thought, while upholding rabbinic culture. Among the figures and themes examined are Alter Hilewitz’s (1906–1994) Hasido-Marxism, Rabbi Avraham Yosef Guttman’s (1870–1940) crisis of faith, and Shmuel Alexandrov’s (1865–1941) use of Russian Nietzscheanism. Alexandrov was also the narrator who revealed these fascinating ideas to us in a rare collection of his letters, which possesses both a philosophical and a theological nature. These letters, which have received very little attention in previous studies, provide a small window into the conflictual world of rabbis and yeshiva students in the first decade of the Soviet Union. Reviewing the ideas generated in a struggle to make sense of one of the great crises of modern Judaism, and pondering questions of historical perspective and how empathy may distort it, this article wishes to go beyond the image of a defensive preservation of religious life and to re-envision this unique and innovative period of Jewish thought.

An exploratory study on isochoric supercooling preservation of the pig liver

This study was motivated by the increasing interest in finding ways to preserve organs in a supercooled state for transplantation. Previous research with small volumes suggests that the isochoric (constant volume) thermodynamic state enhances the stability of supercooled solutions.The primary objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of storing a large organ, such as the pig liver, in a metastable isochoric supercooled state for clinically relevant durations. To achieve this, we designed a new isochoric technology that employs a system consisting of two domains separated by an interior boundary that can transfer heat and pressure, but not mass. The liver is preserved in one of these domains in a solution with an intracellular composition, which is in osmotic equilibrium with the liver. Pressure is used to monitor the thermodynamic state of the isochoric chamber. In this feasibility study, two pig livers were preserved in the device in an isochoric supercooled state at -2°C. The experiments were terminated voluntarily, one after 24 h and the other after 48 h of supercooling preservation. Pressure measurements indicated that the livers did not freeze during the isochoric supercooling preservation. This is the first proof that organs as large as the pig liver can remain supercooled for extended periods of time in an isotonic solution in an isochoric system, despite an increased probability of ice nucleation with larger volumes. To serve as controls and to test the ability of pressure monitoring to detect freezing in the isochoric chamber, an experiment was designed in which two pig livers were frozen at -2°C for 24 h and the pressure monitored. Histological examination with H&E stains revealed that the supercooled liver maintained a normal appearance, even after 48 h of supercooling, while tissues in livers frozen to -2°C were severely disrupted by freezing after 24 h.

Assessment of Hg pollution in stream waters and human health risk in areas impacted by mining activities in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Illegal gold mining activities have contributed to the release and mobilization of Hg and environmental degradation in many parts of the world. This study aims to determine the concentration of Hg in five provinces of the Amazon Region of Ecuador, in addition to assessing the risk to human health of exposed populations, applying deterministic and probabilistic methods. For this purpose, 147 water samples were collected in rivers and streams crossing and/or located near mining areas. As a result, 100% of the samples analyzed exceeded the maximum permissible limit (MPL) according to the water quality criteria for the preservation of aquatic life of the Ecuadorian regulations, while 7% of the samples exceeded the MPL for drinking water. On the other hand, considering the European Environmental Quality Standard (EQS) for surface water bodies, in our study, 100% of the samples exceed the maximum permissible limit (0.07µg/L), and with respect to the Canadian water quality guidelines, 35% of the samples exceed the permissible limit (0.001mg/l) for drinking water, and 100% of the samples exceed the limit for life in water bodies (0.0001mg/l). The risk assessment revealed that the probability of developing adverse health effects from exposure to Hg is below the recommended limits according to the probabilistic assessment; this is in relation to the criterion of residential and recreational use of water resources. However, it was identified that the child population doubles the acceptable systemic risk level according to the results of the deterministic assessment in the residential scenario. This information can be used by decision-makers to implement strategies to reduce Hg contamination and exposure of the population in Ecuadorian Amazonian rivers.

An experimental animal model of yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) for Amyloodinium ocellatum infection

Amyloodinium ocellatum is a worldwide distributed protozoan that infects almost all marine fish species, causing fatal amyloodiniosis. However, highly effective antiparasitic agents for controlling amyloodiniosis are lacking. This study was conducted to establish a laboratory model of A. ocellatum infection, facilitating the development of alternative treatment options and immunostimulants for A. ocellatum using yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) as the experimental host. The life cycle and preservation strategies of A. ocellatum, the stability of dinospore infection in A. latus, and the tolerance of A. latus to A. ocellatum infection were observed and evaluated. Under suitable conditions (temperature: 27 ± 1 °C; salinity: 30 ± 1‰), A. ocellatum completes its life cycle on A. latus in 4–5 d and peak trophont detachment from A. latus occurs at 44–52 h post-infection. The peak period when tomonts release dinospores occurs 51–60 h after incubation at 28 °C. Dinospores have high vitality and infectivity within 6 h of release from tomonts. The infection model developed in this study is stable, with a 39.85–44.68% dinospore infection rate. Additionally, gills were the main A. ocellatum infection site, accounting for 70.49–72.68% of the total trophonts in infected A. latus. The maximal tolerance dose (MTD) and lethal concentration 50 (LC50) of A. ocellatum to A. latus were 14,686 and 28,901 dinospores per fish, respectively. Tomonts can be preserved for at least 3 months at 12 °C. This study established an A. ocellatum infection model under laboratory conditions, which is potentially helpful in exploring alternative treatments and investigating the pathogenic mechanisms of amyloodiniosis.

Physiological and perceptual responses due to accidental water immersion

With the increasing global civil aviation business, water-related accidents in airplanes, often accompanied by accidental passenger waterfalls, are inevitable. Exposure to cold water can cause physiological and perceptual abnormalities that may endanger human health and safety. In this study, a water tank was constructed in a climate chamber to simulate accidental water immersion, and 10 healthy male subjects were recruited to investigate physiological and perceptual responses during air exposure and water immersion. Parameters such as core temperature, skin temperature, metabolic heat production, blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, thermal sensation, thermal acceptance, and thermal comfort were continuously monitored. Statistical analysis revealed that skin temperature, metabolic heat production, and heart rate were the most sensitive parameters during water immersion. Changes in skin temperature were smallest in the leg (DTs ≈ 4 °C) and largest in the chest (DTs ≈ 9 °C) upon water immersion. There was a strong correlation between local thermal sensation and local skin temperature when subjects remained sedentary (R2 > 0.8). The use of a LP2 (life preserver, 0.20 clo) slightly improved local thermal comfort compared to LP1 (0.05 clo), suggesting that life preserver may compensate for the decrease in thermal comfort caused by immersion in water.

Normative-legal acts of labor protection in the agricultural industry during development and scientific research

The effectiveness of scientific development and research (NDR) in the agricultural sector depends on many factors, among which those that determine the safety of the process itself play a special role. The work examines the requirements for ensuring safe and harmless working conditions during scientific research and development, indicating the main legislative and other normative legal acts in the relevant areas. Depending on the features of the NDR (fundamental, applied, experimental) and the stages of their implementation, the venue, conditions, duration of work, equipment and engineering networks, personnel, etc. are determined, which necessitates the use of certain methods, methods and means of ensuring labor safety based current regulatory legal acts on labor protection, sanitation and occupational hygiene, fire safety, man-made safety and civil protection. In this work, we examine the conditions for conducting the NDR and analyze the current regulatory documents and scientific works on ensuring the safety of research, with the aim of preventing the number of accidents in the agricultural sector. An important role in ensuring healthy and safe working conditions, preservation of life and health of employees in scientific institutions is played by the labor protection service. The main tasks of the labor protection service include: implementation of scientific developments and rational proposals that increase labor safety; organize all types of briefings and preventive measures aimed at eliminating harmful and dangerous production factors and other cases of threat to the life or health of employees; carry out inspections of employees' compliance with regulatory legal acts on labor protection; draw up, with the participation of the direct supervisor, lists of professions, positions and types of work, for which instructions on labor protection (safety) should be developed, provide assistance during their development; to inform employees about the basic requirements of laws, other regulatory and legal acts and acts on labor protection that are in effect within the scope of scientific research.

Euthanasia in Africa: A scoping review of empirical evidence.

The core ethical perplexity is that physician-assisted suicide and euthanasia (PAS/E) contradicts the core value of medical practice which is about the duty of care to preserve life. While most arguments for and against euthanasia emerge from other continents, no African country legalizes or decriminalizes PAS/E. The essence of this scoping review is to collate evidence and scientific voices on euthanasia in Africa by synthesizing empirical articles on the subject in Africa. In this scoping review, a systematic search of five electronic research databases-PubMed, SCOPUS, CINHAL Complete, Allied and Complementary Medicine (AMED), and APA PsycInfo-was conducted to identify relevant articles conducted in Africa on euthanasia. After deduplication with the Rayyan software, the retrieved literature were screened for eligibility, and only eligible articles were included in the review. Relevant data from these articles were extracted and analyzed using narrative synthesis. Only 14 articles reporting empirical studies, conducted in Africa, and published in English, were included in the review after a rigorous screening process. The review shows a wide rejection of euthanasia, but there is not much resistance to passive euthanasia, that is, withholding/withdrawing life-saving medical care from a terminally ill patient, mostly due to advanced age of the patient and the incurability of the illness. Many factors, such as religion, profession, and age help in shaping the way an individual view and understand PAS/E. Professionals take the patient's clinical condition and sociocultural context into consideration when making decisions about end-of-life care. The sociocultural context did not favor PAS/E. Euthanasia will continue to be a subject of controversy and debate in Africa and elsewhere. The majority of Africans hold the duty of care and preservation of life as the hallmark of medical practice, which informs the wide rejection of PAS/E.

Property Preservation of Object-Oriented Petri Reduction Net Based Representation for Embedded Systems

Embedded systems are widely used in automotive electronics, smart home, smart medical, aerospace and other fields. Aiming at the problem of formal modeling and verification analysis of embedded systems, a solution is proposed using extended Petri net reduction operations. Petri net based representation for embedded system (PRES+) and the object-oriented technology are combined to obtain the object-oriented PRES+ (OOPRES+). Two kinds of subnet reduction rules of OOPRES+ are presented. The preservation of boundedness and liveness of the reduction net system has been investigated to alleviate the problem of state space explosion of OOPRES+. The modeling and analysis of the embedded control system of a smart restaurant is used as an example to verify the effectiveness of the subnet reduction rules. Results obtained can provide an effective way to examine the reduction property of Petri net systems, and present a powerful means to model and verify the large-scale complex embedded systems.

Disseminating STEM Subjects and Ocean Literacy through a Bioinspired Toolkit

Over the last decade, education has been evolving to equip students with the fundamental skills required to cope with the challenges of sustainability and inclusivity, such as quality education, access to clean water, cultural heritage preservation and protection of marine life. Technology supports the learning process by providing useful tools that enrich the learning environment, encourage active participation, improve collaboration and prepare students for their future life. Educational Robotics is one of the most popular innovative methodologies that supports the development of many skills by assembling and programming robots in a meaningful way. In this paper, the authors aim at advancing their previous work in the field of Educational Robotics applied to the marine environment by proposing a novel bioinspired educational toolkit whose design and features support activities concerning sustainability, ocean literacy, as well as STEM subjects in kindergarten through to grade twelve education. Exploiting the established educational theories and methodologies underpinning Educational Robotics, the toolkit allows for marine-themed activities, as well promoting activities concerning STEM subjects. To explain the relevance of the toolkit, the authors present the robot design, the workshops that every teacher or student can explore as an Open Educational Resource (OERs), and the results of a case study. Interestingly, the latter shows that the use of the toolkit seems to have complemented the students' initial keen interest in technology itself, with awareness about urgent issues related to the climate and the environment.

The right way to preach Islam the Albanian Case

Religion can be defined as a set of rules and principles sent by God to guide mankind to happinessin this world and the next. Religion enables people to apply high values that are hidden in their nature in orderto experience a unique enlightenment.Ideas that do not conform to religion in some ways are obviously one-dimensional and reduce thecapacity to explain existence as a whole. A religion, on the other hand, that does not produce results that enableman to become smarter leads to the loss of life values rather than the desired goal, namely the opening andovercoming of people's horizons.1According to the well-known Islamic scholar Imam Ash-Shatibij2, the basic pillar of the religion is thebenefit of this life and the next. Therefore, the preservation of faith, life, wealth, offspring and mind are themain objectives of religion.3 With the advent of mass media and transportation, the world has become a large"village". In such an environment, it is done easy to influence people, relying on the power and importance ofthe media. Given this fact, unfortunately, in many parts of the world, there have recently been attempts toportray Islam as a religion of terror. So, in the face of such a situation it is the duty of every Muslim preacherto communicate the truth and inform his audience (congregation) about the truths of Islam.

INDONESIAN GOVERNMENT POLICY IN MAINTAINING ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION OF MARINE BIOTA THROUGH THE EXPORT PROHIBITION OF LOBSTER SHRIMP SEED

The Indonesian government prohibits the export of Lobster seeds through the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No. 17/PERMEN-KP/2021 where lobster shrimp seeds are prohibited for export in order to preserve the environment for marine biota in Indonesia, this is related to the decreasing population of Lobster Shrimp in the wild caused by the capture of Lobster Shrimp seeds that are not properly controlled. This research is included in normative legal research using data contained in laws and regulations related to the protection of the environment, especially the problem of environmental protection of marine biota in Indonesia in terms of controlling the lobster shrimp population. The discussion of this research uses a qualitative method, namely by discussing from a legal perspective the background in which the regulation was issued, by comparing the opinions of experts in the environmental field. The results of this study show how important the export ban on lobster seeds is in order to preserve the environment for marine life and control the capture of lobster shrimp seeds so that they do not become extinct in the future, thus it is hoped that the preservation of marine life can be passed on to future generations.
