Pigs are one of the most important in Balinese society, especially those who are Hindus because pig farm animals are the main component that is always present in every ritual activity in Bali. This gap can also be used to maintain the existence of bali pigs which are currently not counted. Karangasem is one of the clearest areas to become a pilot project to maintain the existence of bali pigs. Karangasem has two very large traditions that spearhead the establis- hment of the existence of the bali pig, namely Usaba Dalem and Usaba Sumbu. Two ritual processions above said the number of pork rolls in these two locations is already very large, and is one to be the starting point the program develops the preservation of bali pigs. So far the pigs used by people in both locations mostly use race pigs. If there is a choice in pigs, then there will be a huge opportunity for bali pigs. This is also a challenge for bali pig farmers to increase the amount of production through a more intensive system. Most people want to use bali pork as raw material for guling pork, if it is available, even some community leaders to use pork for perararem (local rule) are used, if the bali pig population is sufficient.

Food, the basic connecting unit of all the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, plays a crucial role in the ecological transition towards a circular economic paradigm. This paper takes scientific considerations as a starting point in order to contribute to the definition of a theoretical-operational framework in which to grow the Circular Economy for Food. This is a still-open question in a sector of the circular economy that is emerging as vital to sustainable development. The 3 C's of Capital, Cyclicality and Co-evolution offer a systemic, holistic vision of the food system's role. Within this conceptual framework, the designers can find the main boundaries of the system, within which to express their creativity. The aim must be to avoid damaging relationships with the best supplier of raw material known to humanity (Nature), respecting planetary boundaries and at the same time offering a fair space to civil society.

Abstract With the upcoming medical Cannabis regulation, quality control methods on raw material will be required. Besides testing for contaminants and potency, there are also pharmaceutical and forensic interests in the determination of the terpene profile in different strains of Cannabis as complementary identification methods. A simple non-destructive HS-SPME GC-MS method was used to identify the terpene content in twelve Cannabis samples, four of them were of the hemp type (Harle-tsu), seven from various marihuana types and one of the intermediate type. They all were previously analyzed by HPLC to determine the potency (THC and CBD content). Spectral library matching was used to identify the terpenes compounds. Thirty terpenes compounds were detected, nine of them were present in all Cannabis samples and used to find their terpene profile: α-pinene, β-pinene, β-myrcene, D-limonene, terpinolene, linalool, caryophyllene, α-bergamotene and humulene. Three of them, caryophyllene, α-pinene and β-myrcene were found as larger components in most of samples. A principal components analyses (PCA) was performed. The four hemp type samples showed two different profiles, two samples showed caryophyllene as main component and the others two with β-myrcene as such. The marihuana type samples showed wider profiles with no clear patterns at all, which is not surprising because of the low number of samples. The simple methodology shows viable to set the terpenes profile for analyses of raw Cannabis material. Suitability for differentiation between different sorts of types needs more studies, with increasing numbers of samples.

Abstract The opportunistic debitage, originally adapted from Forestier’s S.S.D.A. definition, is characterized by a strong adaptability to local raw material morphology and its physical characteristics and it is oriented towards flake production. Its most ancient evidence is related to the first European peopling by Homo sp. during Lower Pleistocene starting from 1.6 Ma and gradually increasing around 1 Ma. In these sites a great heterogeneity of the reduction sequences and raw materials employed is highlighted, bringing to the identification of multiple technical behaviours. However, the scientific community does not always agree on associating the concepts of opportunism and method to describe these lithic complexes. The same methodological issues remain for the Middle Pleistocene where, simultaneously to an increase of the archaeological evidence and the persistence of the opportunistic debitage, the first bifacial complexes are attested. Further implications concerning the increasing complexity highlighted in core technology management are now at the centre of an important debate regarding the genesis of more specialized method (Levallois and Discoid) especially during MIS 12 and MIS 9. We suggest that the opportunistic debitage could be the starting point for this process, carrying within itself a great methodological and cultural potential.

The bark of Cinnamomum burmannii Blume is the main raw material of Cinnamomum oil because its cinnamaldehyde content is higher than in the other parts. This condition lead to the exploitation of Cinnamomum burmannii Blume bark without any cultivation effort, thus it can cause the raw material scarcity. Twigs and leaves of Cinnamomum burmannii Blume are also known to contain cinnamaldehyde therefore it provide a potential alternative source of cinnamaldehyde. The purpose of this research is to investigate the characteristic of Cinnamomum burmannii Blume essential oil which includes refractive index, profiling of chemical constituent and percentage of cinnamaldehyde as a marker compound. This research used three fresh Cinnamomum burmannii Blume simplicia of bark, twigs and leaves from two selected growing locations: Tawangmangu and Purwokerto. Simple water distillation method was conducted, together with characterization and refractive index using refractometer, followed by qualitative and quantitative analysis with Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Gas Chromatography (GC). The results showed Cinnamomum burmannii Blume oil derived from bark, twig and leaf have different profiles, but all have cinnamaldehyde as the main component. The leaf produces higher essential oil yield percentage compared to the twig with a cinnamaldehyde content that is comparable to the bark by 50% of cinnamaldehyde content in cinnamomum bark oil.


Sir George Beilby’s life comprised many activities. He was first and foremost a chemical manufacturer and chemical engineer. During the first twenty years of his professional life (1870-90) his work centred on the manu­facture of ammonia and oils from the Scottish shales. At the end of this period the introduction of the McArthur-Forrest process for the extraction of gold from its ores by potassium cyanide caused him to transfer his attention mainly to the production of this substance. He invented a process for the manufacture of cyanide from ammonia, which for sixteen years (1890-1906) was worked by the Cassel Gold Extracting Company (now the Cassel Cyanide Company), Glasgow. In 1900, in conjunction with Castner, he invented another process of cyanide manufacture, which involved the use of sodium. In consequence of this he joined in that year the Board of the Castner-Kellner Alkali Company, at Runcorn, who manufactured pure caustic soda. This was the raw material for the manufacture of sodium metal by the electrolysis of the fused caustic. The plant for this he erected at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and for the remainder of his life he was actively concerned with the operations of the wroks at Runcorn, Newcastle and Glasgow. For more than half a century, therefore, he occupied a foremost place in the manufacture of nitrogen derivatives. His experience as a manufacturer led him to study the economic utilisation of fuel, and in his presidential address to the Society of Chemical Industry in 1899 he surveyed the various channels of consumption into which the output at that date was flowing. This was the starting point of an inquiry and study which led him to become ultimately the foremost authority on the scientific utilisation of fuel in this country. In 1903 he gave evidence before the Royal Commission on Coal on the output of this mineral and its uses, and made suggestions as to its more economical use. Later he worked for a considerable time on the production of a smokeless fuel for domestic purposes. In 1912-13 he was made a member of the Royal Commission on Fuel and Engines for the Navy. The culmination of his work in this field was his appointment as the first Chairman and Director of the Fuel Research Board in the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in 1917, a post which gave him the oppor­tunity of putting into practice the conclusions he had formed as to the best methods of utilising scientifically the fuel resources of the country. The war years (1914-18) constituted for him a period of intense activity, and as a member of Lord Fisher’s Central Committee of the Board of Invention and Research, and of the Trench and Chemical Warfare Committees of the War Office and the Ministry of Munitions, he rendered services of the utmost value to the country.

The contemporary tourist product includes attractions, created by nature as well as humans. Attractions represent a part o f some specific destination, place, city, region, even continent. Destination is to be viewed as a whole, which requires the quality management of both its development and the foundation of attraction resource. Quality management of a tourist destination is based on a synergy, meaning cooperation of all stakeholders in public and private sector. Without attractions there is no tourism, no tourist destination. Without quality management, precisely quality development management, a tourist destination would be left to a random, chaotic construction, the maximum usage o f resources, in short, to the threat o f loosing any attractiveness in the future. The quality management system of Pula as a tourist destination, suggested in this paper, should be established on the quality databases, available to the users connected through a network, all the stakeholders in both private and public sector. On-line users would constitute a Destination Management Network (DMN), i.e. a competitive diamond of Pula, a pilot-project whose success could become a parameter, a standard for other similar destinations. On-line information, from those statistical to the ones attached to tourist supply, products and attractions o f the destination, would refer to the Pula know-how. Knowledge, information and human capital are the starting point of the quality management and the competitive diamond framework of the Pula Destination Management Network.

AbstractThere is interest in exploiting and developing natural resources, particularly deposits of natural clays. Senegal has several clay mineral deposits for which chemical and mineralogical compositions have been little studied. Some of these natural materials are nowadays used in pottery and ceramics. To extend applications, a better basic knowledge is required and, for this objective, the raw clay and separated <2 μm clay fraction from Keur Saër (Senegal) were subjected to chemical and mineralogical studies. Several techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (TG-DTA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, cation exchange capacity (CEC) measurements and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) have been used to characterize the material. It was found that the raw clay and the separated clay fraction consist of a mineral mixture in which kaolinite is the main component. 29Si and 27Al MAS-NMR spectra show the presence of silicon atoms linked to three other silicon atoms via an oxygen atom and six coordinated Al atoms. Significant increases in the specific surface area and cation exchange capacity were observed on purification, reaching a maximum of about 73.2 m2g–1 and 9.5 meq/100 g for the separated fine clay fraction while the values for the raw material were around 28.9 m2g–1 and 7.3 meq/100 g.

AbstractDespite school-community partnerships having much potential to provide educational organisations with authentic teaching and learning opportunities through community-based action projects, they remain under-utilised largely due to the structural constraints and pressures faced by teachers. This study helps fill a gap in scholarly discourse about the specific ways in which school-community partnerships can effectively be developed by providing an in-depth account of an 18-month pilot project with the aim to develop a conservation education program (Kids Greening Taupō) through a partnership structure in Aotearoa New Zealand. An evaluation of the pilot project was conducted using an ethnographic approach, which sought stakeholder perspectives about the program's developmental process through an interpretive lens. Qualitative data were collected through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and document analysis, and then thematically analysed. The findings provided in this article illuminate stakeholder insights and perspectives about the structures established and processes utilised over the three broad stages of program planning, implementation and maintenance, and the resultant environmental initiatives and programs. Through this study, a Collaborative Community Education Model has emerged that may serve as a potential framework or starting point for those interested in creating a new school-community partnership or to modify an existing one.

Bestial flies are widely spred at various types of livestock enterprises (dairy farms, fattening farms, pig farms, sheep farms, stud farms, poultry farms) of the Russian Federa-tion; they are mechanical and biological carriers of many pathogens of infectious and invasive diseases, can cause anemia and stress in productive farm animals and young animals. The economic damage from infec-tious and parasitic diseases, the causative agents of which carry licking and blood-sucking flies, as well as from a decrease in productivity due to stress, is measured in hundreds of millions of rubles a year. In addition, high costs are required for veteri-nary, anti-epizootic and recreational activi-ties. We conducted a test to study the effective-ness of the Flyblock® food pellet bait (organization-developer of NEC Agrovet-zashchita LLC), an insecticidal and attract-ant measurement during the period of the maximum number of bestial flies on a pig farm.The food bait was tested from the sec-ond half of summer until the end of Septem-ber in three commercial pig farms of the Ryazan Region: 50 x 12 m - experimental, 5 x 12 m - control № 1 (fodder kitchen), 50 x 12 m - control № 2. In the experimental room, the Flyblock® drug granules were distributed by the rate of 5 g per 5 m2 in cardboard containers 12 x 8 cm in size with 4 cm high side walls in plac-es not accessible to animals - window open-ings. The Flyblock® pellet food bait was placed once with regular monitoring (starting from the first day and for 2.5 months) of its effectiveness against bestial flies with the obligatory re-moval of dead flies. Studies have showed the high efficiency of Flyblock® food pellets against bestial flies. The effectiveness of the the drug against licking and bloodsucking flies when keeping pigs for fattening in the premises of a com-mercial pig farm is in almost all cases of research more than 95%.

Biorefinery industry used lignocellulosic biomass as the raw material. Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB) is one of Indonesian potential lignocellulosic biomass, which consists of hemicellulose with xylan as the main component. Xylitol production via fermentation could use this xylan since it can be converted into xylose. However, the structure of OPEFB is such that hemicellulose is protected in a way that will hinder hydrolysis enzyme to access it. Considering that hemicellulose is more susceptible to heat than cellulose, a hydrothermal process was applied to pre-treat OPEFB before it was hydrolyzed enzymatically. The aim of the research is to map the effect of temperature, solid loading and time of pre-treatment process to obtain and recover as much as possible accessible hemicellulose from OPEFB. The results showed that temperature gave more significant effect than time and solid loading for glucose recovery of OPEFB residues. While xylose recovery varies greatly with temperature, but solid loading and time gave less significant effect.
