Our Palaeolithic ancestors did not make good representations of themselves on the rocky surfaces of caves and barring certain exceptions – such as the case of La Marche (found on small slabs of stone or plaquettes) or the Cueva de Ambrosio – the few known examples can only be referred to as anthropomorphs. As such, only hand stencils give us a real picture of the people who came before us. Hand stencils and imprints provide us with a large amount of information that allows us to approach not only their physical appearance but also to infer less tangible details, such as the preferential use of one hand over the other (i.e., handedness). Both new and/or mature technologies as well as digital processing of images, computers with the ability to process very high resolution images, and a more extensive knowledge of the Palaeolithic figures all help us to analyse thoroughly the hands in El Castillo cave. The interdisciplinary study presented here contributes many novel developments based on real data, representing a major step forward in knowledge about our predecessors.

Introduction In Montréal, the characteristics of suicide cases may vary between different areas. The information collected by coroners during their investigations of suicides could be used to support local suicide-prevention planning actions. Methods This study analyzes all coroners' records on suicide in Montréal from 2007 to 2009 to 1. determine the usefulness of the data available; 2. develop a profile of cases; 3. examine local differences by comparing two areas, one with the highest suicide rate and the other with the lowest. Results The data collected revealed the lack of a systematic, standardized procedure for recording information about deaths by suicide. The rates of missing data varied, but were very high for antecedents of suicide attempts and recent events that could have precipitated the suicide. We observed differences in the characteristics of suicide cases according to area of residence. Conclusion By adopting a standardized procedure for collecting information on cases of suicide, coroners could provide local decision makers with a more accurate portrait of the people who die by suicide in their area. Local adjustments may improve suicide-prevention strategies.

This time, rubbish is a very serious environmental problem for the people of Kampung Baru, Sampora Village, Tangerang. The increase in population results in an increase in the amount of rubbish. According to data, rubbish production in Tangerang in 2020 reached 22,873 tons, while the rubbish handled was only around 937 tons (4%).This problem needs to be solved immediately. Rubbish generated by households can be in the form of organic or inorganic. If rubbish is not managed properly, it can damage the surrounding environment.The method   used to solve the problem of organic rubbish can be done through bioconversion of organic rubbish into maggot.Organic rubbish is often considered safe because it is easily biodegradable, even though organic rubbish has the potential to damage the environment, This method has advantages, because during the bioconversion process it does not cause unpleasant odors Bioconversion of organic rubbish can be a rubbish management solution that can be offered to the residents of Kampung Baru..Every 1 kg of maggot requires 2 kg of organic rubbish/hour as food. The speed of maggot using organic rubbish  as feed can be an alternative to reduce the amount of organic rubbish.Maggot that is ready to be harvested has a very high protein content, so it can be used as feed for catfish or  poultry.Catfish fed with maggot as feed, at the age of 100 days, each kilogram contained 6 catfish, while catfish fed only with pellets, at the age of 100 days, each kg contained 7-8 catfish. Thus maggot can increase the weight of catfish significantly.In addition, maggot can reduce pellet consumption by up to 75 percent, so it can help catfish farmers in saving feed costs.Saat ini sampah merupakan masalah lingkungan yang sangat serius bagi masyarakat Kampung Baru, Desa Sampora, Tangerang. Pertambahan jumlah penduduk mengakibatkan pertambahan jumlah sampah. Menurut data produksi sampah di Tangerang pada tahun 2020 mencapai 22.873 ton, sedangkan sampah yang tertangani hanya sekitar 937 ton (4%). Permasalahan ini perlu segera dicari solusinya. Sampah  yang dihasilkan oleh rumah tangga dapat berupa sampah organik maupun anorganik. Jika sampah tidak dikelola dengan baik, maka sampah dapat merusak lingkungan sekitar. Sampah organik sering dianggap aman karena mudah terurai, padahal  sampah organik memiliki potensi untuk merusak lingkungan.Metode yang digunakan untuk memecahkan permasalahan sampah organik dapat dilakukan melalui biokonversi sampah organik menjadi maggot. Metode ini mempunyai kelebihan, karena selama proses biokonversi tidak menimbulkan bauyang tidak sedap. Biokonversi sampah organik dapat menjadi  solusi pengolahan sampah yang dapat  ditawarkan kepada penduduk Kampung Baru, Setiap 1 kg maggot membutuhkan 2 kg sampah organik/jam sebagai makanannya. Kecepatan maggot menggunakan sampah organik sebagai pakan, dapat menjadi alternatif untuk mereduksi jumlah sampah organik.  Maggot yang siap dipanen mempunyai kandungan protein yang sangat tinggi, sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai pakan lele atau ternak unggas lainnya. Lele  yang diberi maggot sebagai pakan, pada usia 100 hari, setiap kilogram berisi 6 ekor lele, sedangkan lele yang hanya diberi pakan pelet, pada usia 100 hari,setiap kg berisi 7-8 ekor lele. Dengan demikian maggot dapat meningkatkan berat lele secara signifikan. Selain itu maggot dapat mengurangi konsumsi pelet sampai 75 persen, sehingga dapat membantu peternak lele dalam menghemat biaya pakan.

Microcystins (MCs) are cyanotoxins produced mainly by freshwater cyanobacteria, which constitute a threat to public health due to their negative effects on humans, such as gastroenteritis and related diseases, including death. In Mozambique, where only 50% of the people have access to safe drinking water, this hepatotoxin is not monitored, and consequently, the population may be exposed to MCs. The few studies done in Maputo and Gaza provinces indicated the occurrence of MC-LR, -YR, and -RR at a concentration ranging from 6.83 to 7.78 µg·L−1, which are very high, around 7 times above than the maximum limit (1 µg·L−1) recommended by WHO. The potential MCs-producing in the studied sites are mainly Microcystis species. These data from Mozambique and from surrounding countries (South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, and Tanzania) evidence the need to implement an operational monitoring program of MCs in order to reduce or avoid the possible cases of intoxications since the drinking water quality control tests recommended by the Ministry of Health do not include an MC test. To date, no data of water poisoning episodes recorded were associated with MCs presence in the water. However, this might be underestimated due to a lack of monitoring facilities and/or a lack of public health staff trained for recognizing symptoms of MCs intoxication since the presence of high MCs concentration was reported in Maputo and Gaza provinces.

When the earliest cooperative units were formed, the members seem to have assumed that the step had relevance only for themselves and only for their economic good. At Fenwick in Scotland eleven men agreed in 1769 “to take what money we have in our Box and buy what victual may be thought Nessassar to sell for the benefit of our society.” The sole end was the economic benefit of the little group. Near the close of the century, “the poor inhabitants” of Hull in England set up a cooperative mill. The harvest had been lean, and the price of flour was very high, so that the people felt “much trouble and sorrow” in their persons and families, and thought they should take every care to preserve themselves “from the invasion of covetous and merciless men in the future.” They also asked the mayor to give something toward “this great enterprise.”

Abstrack. This article is a socio-cultural study of the culture of consuming liquor. This research was conducted using a qualitative method with a case study approach to the Moskona community in West Bintuni Village, West Bintuni District, Bintuni Bay Regency. Using Herbert Blumer's theory of symbolic interactionism, this study seeks to understand the meaning of alcohol consumption for the people of Moscow and the economic, social, and health impacts of the culture of consuming alcoholic beverages. The results of this study reveal that the consumption of alcoholic drinks does come from outside and has developed into a habit in society, and people perceive alcoholic drinks as a form of brotherhood and kinship between groups of people when sitting together. Various efforts have been made by elements of society such as traditional leaders, religious leaders, and the government, such as very high customary fines for people who commit deviant behavior after consuming liquor, but in reality, the rate of accidents and fights after consuming alcoholic beverages is still high. This study also shows that the persistence of alcohol consumption in the community is related to family, economic and social factors.Keyword : Indigenous people, Liquor, Teluk BintuniAbstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana perkembangan komsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat Moskona yang berada di Kelurahan Bintuni Barat, Distrik Bintuni, Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni, sehingga menjadi sebuah budaya. Sselain itu juga untuk memahami makna konsumsi minuman beralkohol bagi masyarakat Moskona serta dampak ekonomi, sosial dan budaya dari konsumsi minuman beralkohol, dengan menggunakan Teori Interaksionisme Simbolik dari Herbert Blumer. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa konsumsi minuman beralkohol memang datang dari luar dan berkembang menjadi sebuah kebiasaan pada masyarakat, dan masyarakat memaknai minuman beralkohol sebagai bentuk persaudaraan dan kekerabatan di antara kelompok masyarakat saat duduk bersama. Berbagai upaya yang dilakukan oleh elemen masyarakat seperti tokoh adat, tokoh agama, dan pemerintah sudah dilakukan seperti denda adat yang sangat tinggi kepada masyarakat yang melakukan perilaku menyimpang pasca mengkonsumsi minuman beralkohol, namun dalam kenyataannya tingkat kecelakaan dan perkelahian pasca konsumsi minuman beralkohol masih tetap tinggi. Bertahannya kebiasaan konsumsi minuman beralkohol pada masyarakat ada kaitannya dengan faktor keluarga, individu pelaku konsumsi dan maraknya minuman beralkohol yang beredar luas di tengah masyarakat, oleh karena itu upaya yang diharapkan oleh peneliti adalah pemerintah mengambil sikap tegas dengan mengeluarkan Peraturan Daerah (PERDA) terkait minuman beralhokol, untuk mampu meredam berdar luasnya minuman beralkohol tersebut.Kata Kunci : Minuman beralkohol, Peraturan Daerah, Teluk Bintuni
