Abstract Multicriteria analysis methodology used in the paper allows to evaluate the use of potential bioresources with high added value by prioritizing products from invasive species. The method is applied for the hogweed Heracleum sosnowskyi Manden, which occupies large areas in Latvia and poses great problems in using agricultural land. It is combated purposefully, generating significant amount of biomass waste. The results of TOPSIS multicriteria analysis used with 14 indicators, show that hogweed can be used for production of different pharmaceutical, food, soil fertilizer and chemical materials with a high added value. Pharmaceutical products have the highest potential for production of polysaccharides that can be used in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Although increasing numbers of research papers regarding biochar are being published worldwide, in some countries growing interest in biochar has only recently been observed; this is true of Poland. We analysed information on biochar research in Poland alongside lessons learned elsewhere in order to identify the significant opportunities and risks associated with biochar use. This data fed into a GIS-based multicriteria analysis to identify areas where biochar application could deliver greatest benefit. We found that 21.8% of agricultural land in Poland has at least moderate indication for biochar use (soil organic matter below 2% and ph below 5.5), while 1.5% was categorized as a priority as it also exhibited contamination. Potential barriers identified included biomass availability and associated risks of indirect land-use change due to possible national and transnational biomass production displacement. Biochar use could have positive global consequences as a climate change mitigation strategy, particularly relevant in a country with limited alternatives. Scaling up a mitigation technology that is viable on account of its co-benefits might be cost-effective, which could, in turn, adjust national perspectives and stronger involvement in developing mitigation policies at the regional level. Biochar has much promise in temperate conditions and further research should therefore be assigned to explore biochar’s environmental and socio-economic impacts.

AbstractThe practice of muzara'ah, or joint management of agricultural land, can be found in various regions in Indonesia. One of them is in the Cikitu Village, Pacet District, Bandung Regency, using the term nengah. One of the main principles in this muzara'ah is the determination of profit sharing at the beginning of agreement (akad), in addition to other requirements. The pillars are the parties, seeds and the types of plants to be planted, land to be cultivated, and the processing period. This study raises issues regarding the suitability of nengah with the conditions required by muzara'ah. The approach method used in this study is case study with data obtained from interviews, fiqh muamalah documentation and references. The results of the study show that the nengah system in Cikitu Village has fulfilled the pillars of muzara'ah. However, from the conditions, the profit sharing between land owner and farmer is not determined at the beginning of agreement (akad), but at harvest time. If the results are good, the distribution is 50:50, but if the yield is considered unsatisfactory, then the profit sharing is 2/3 for the land owner and 1/3 for the sharecropper. The determination has an element of uncertainty (gharar) in the distribution of crops.Keywords:Muzara’ah, land cultivation, sharecropAbstrakPraktik muzara’ah, atau pengelolaan bersama lahan pertanian, dapat ditemukan di berbagai wilayah di Indonesia. Salah satunya adalah di Desa Cikitu Kecamatan Pacet, Kabupaten Bandung dengan menggunakan istilah nengah. Salah satu prinsip utama dalam muzara’ah ini adalah penetapan pembagian hasil di awal akad, di samping persyaratan lainnya. Adapun rukunnya adalah orang yang berakad, benih dan jenis tanaman yang akan ditanam, lahan yang dikerjakan, dan jangka waktu pengolahan. Kajian ini mengangkat permasalahan mengenai kesesuaian pelaksanaan nengah dengan ketentuan yang disyaratkan dalam muzara’ah tersebut. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan dalam kajian ini yaitu studi kasus dengan data-data yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara, dokumentasi dan referensi fiqh muamalah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa penggarapan lahan dengan cara nengah sawah di Desa Cikitu telah memenuhi rukun muzara’ah. Namun dari syarat, pembagian hasil untuk petani pemilik lahan dan petani penggarap tidak ditentukan pada waktu akad, melainkan ditentukan pada waktu panen.  Ketentuan tersebut antara lain jika hasilnya bagus maka pembagiannya 50:50, akan tetapi jika hasil panennya dirasa kurang memuaskan, maka bagi hasilnya 2/3 untuk pemilik lahan dan 1/3 untuk petani penggarap. Penetapan tersebut memiliki unsur ketidakpastian (gharar) dalam pembagian hasil panen.Kata Kunci :Muzara’ah, Nengah, penggarapan lahan

The food sector includes several large industries such as canned food, pasta, flour, frozen products, and beverages. Those industries transform agricultural raw materials into added-value products. The fruit and vegetable industry is the largest and fastest-growing segment of the world agricultural production market, which commercialize various products such as juices, jams, and dehydrated products, followed by the cereal industry products such as chocolate, beer, and vegetable oils are produced. Similarly, the root and tuber industry produces flours and starches essential for the daily diet due to their high carbohydrate content. However, the processing of these foods generates a large amount of waste several times improperly disposed of in landfills. Due to the increase in the world’s population, the indiscriminate use of natural resources generates waste and food supply limitations due to the scarcity of resources, increasing hunger worldwide. The circular economy offers various tools for raising awareness for the recovery of waste, one of the best alternatives to mitigate the excessive consumption of raw materials and reduce waste. The loss and waste of food as a raw material offers bioactive compounds, enzymes, and nutrients that add value to the food cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This paper systematically reviewed literature with different food loss and waste by-products as animal feed, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products that strongly contribute to the paradigm shift to a circular economy. Additionally, this review compiles studies related to the integral recovery of by-products from the processing of fruits, vegetables, tubers, cereals, and legumes from the food industry, with the potential in SARS-CoV-2 disease and bacterial diseases treatment.

Total Fraction

A novel method was developed for the determination of linting propensity of paper based on printing with an IGT printability tester and image analysis of the printed strips. On average, the total fraction of the surface removed as lint during printing is 0.01%-0.1%. This value is lower than those reported in most laboratory printing tests, and more representative of commercial offset printing applications. Newsprint paper produced on a roll/blade former machine was evaluated for linting propensity using the novel method and also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. Laboratory and commercial printing results matched well, showing that linting was higher for the bottom side of paper than for the top side, and that linting could be reduced on both sides by application of a dry-strength additive. In a second case study, varying wet-end conditions were used on a hybrid former machine to produce four paper reels, with the goal of matching the low linting propensity of the paper produced on a machine with gap former configuration. We found that the retention program, by improving fiber fines retention, substantially reduced the linting propensity of the paper produced on the hybrid former machine. The papers were also printed on a commercial coldset offset press. An excellent correlation was found between the total lint area removed from the bottom side of the paper samples during laboratory printing and lint collected on halftone areas of the first upper printing unit after 45000 copies. Finally, the method was applied to determine the linting propensity of highly filled supercalendered paper produced on a hybrid former machine. In this case, the linting propensity of the bottom side of paper correlated with its ash content.

Humans have taken advantage of the adaptability of polymers for centuries in the form of resins, gums tars, and oils. However, it was not until the industrial revolution that the modern polymer industry began to develop. Polymers represent an important constituent of pharmaceutical dosage forms. Polymers have played vital roles in the formulation of pharmaceutical products. Polymers have been used as a major tool to manage the drug release rate from the formulations. Synthetic and natural-based polymers have found their way into the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. Synthetic and Natural polymers can be produced with a broad range of strength, heat resistance, density, stiffness and even price. By constant research into the science and applications of polymers, they are playing an ever-increasing role in society. Diverse applications of polymers in the present pharmaceutical field are for controlled drug release. Based on solubility pharmaceutical polymers can be classified as water-soluble and water-insoluble. In general, the desirable polymer properties in pharmaceutical applications are film forming, adhesion, gelling, thickening, pH-dependent solubility and taste masking. General pharmaceutical applications of polymers in various pharmaceutical formulations are also discussed
